The Supreme Being Against Heaven
Chapter Summary
“Honored one, this junior will take his leave…” “This junior will withdraw as well…” In the blink of an eye, more than 100 clan members at the 8th level of the Spirit Embryo Realm knew that if they continued any longer, only death awaited them. Amid the heart-rending cries of their relatives— Those ice sculptures shattered, turning into fragments of ice scattered everywhere… At this moment, while the other clan members were struggling against the bone-chilling cold invading their bodies and resi...
More than 500 clan members on the Creation Platform looked at the corpses scattered across the stage with terrified expressions.
“I can’t endure this any longer. I surrender!”
“I surrender too…”
“…”
Amid the shouts filled with resentment and exhaustion, more than 200 clan members, their bodies drenched in sweat, struggled to withstand the immense pressure. Their bodies swayed as they slowly stepped down from the Creation Platform.
Every step they took was extremely difficult, as if it required all the strength they had.
A distance of only 100 feet ended up taking as long as 1/4 of an hour before they could reach the edge of the Creation Platform.
“Bang! Bang! Bang!”
“Ahhh…”
“No…!”
“…”
The desperate screams were especially sharp and piercing.
Out of the more than 200 people, only 1/3 managed to escape from the Creation Platform. They collapsed onto the ground, greedily gulping down the fresh air.
As for the remaining 160+ people, they were suddenly crushed to death by the overwhelming pressure!
At that moment, the heart-wrenching cries of the victims’ relatives echoed throughout the packed arena.
Seeing that more than 500 people had already died, Mu Mengyi let out a soft sigh. She looked at the roughly 300 remaining clan members and spoke in a firm yet compassionate tone.
“There are still 3/4 of an hour left before the test ends. From now on, the trial will only become more brutal. You should think carefully about whether you will stay… or leave.”
“Honored one, we will not retreat even a single step!”
Wang Fuchen and Liang Qidi spoke at the same time.
At this moment, neither of them had used their spiritual power to resist the pressure. Only tiny beads of sweat appeared on their foreheads.
Their gazes met coldly, each treating the other as their greatest enemy in this arena.
As for the other clan members, they were hardly worth noticing!
Meanwhile, Tan Yun, whose body was drenched in sweat, grew even more serious.
Suddenly, a curtain of spiritual energy appeared around his body. He began circulating his spiritual power with all his strength to resist the pressure.
“Honored one, this junior will take his leave…”
“This junior will withdraw as well…”
In the blink of an eye, more than 100 clan members at the 8th level of the Spirit Embryo Realm knew that if they continued any longer, only death awaited them. Gritting their teeth, they reluctantly surrendered and stepped down from the Creation Platform one after another.
Mu Mengyi swept her gaze across the 179 remaining clan members and raised her eyebrows slightly.
“There are still 2 crucial rounds left before the test ends. Are you certain that no one will withdraw now?”
“Honored one, we are certain!”
All 179 people replied firmly.
Since childhood, they had all sworn that they would enter the Huangfu Sacred Sect.
Now that the opportunity was right before them, unless they reached the very end, they would never retreat!
Mu Mengyi said nothing more. She looked up at the Ice Flame Spirit Tiger and spoke meaningfully.
“Spirit Tiger… you may begin.”
Upon hearing this, the millions of townspeople watching below seemed to recall something terrifying. Their faces turned pale as they began to grow restless.
“Buzz… Buzz… Buzz…”
In contrast, the clan members on the platform clenched their fists tightly, their hearts heavier than ever.
Suddenly, the air became turbulent. They frantically mobilized spiritual energy from their spirit pools toward the center of their foreheads, sparing no effort, strengthening the spiritual barrier formed by their power to its absolute limit.
Wang Fuchen and Liang Qidi were the same. Their expressions became extremely solemn.
Vast spiritual energy surged outward, like gigantic serpents coiling around their bodies, almost completely obscuring them!
It was obvious that everyone understood one thing clearly.
In the next 2 rounds, life-and-death situations would certainly occur!
“ROAR!”
The Ice Flame Spirit Tiger let out a thunderous roar.
Its enormous white tail, more than 10 feet long, swung through the air while releasing a chilling aura that enveloped the 179 clan members.
In an instant, a freezing wind swept across the Creation Platform as heavy snow began to fall.
In the blink of an eye, the bodies of all 179 people were covered with a thin layer of purple ice, and the layer of ice was rapidly growing thicker!
“Bang!”
“Bang!”
Wang Fuchen and Liang Qidi roared through gritted teeth, their bodies trembling as they shattered the purple ice.
However, the moment the ice broke, their bodies were immediately covered by purple ice again!
The other clan members were the same. All of them poured their entire spiritual power into breaking the ice while simultaneously enduring the immense pressure!
“My daughter!”
“My son!”
“…”
Cries of painful wailing echoed throughout the arena as 32 clan members were instantly frozen into human-shaped ice sculptures.
Then—
“Rumble!!”
The 32 ice sculptures shattered on the Creation Platform at once!
From beginning to end… not a single one of them made a sound before dying!
This alone was enough to prove just how terrifying the power of the purple ice was!
“Clack… clack… clack…”
Another 68 clan members were so frightened that they were nearly driven insane! After shattering the ice that covered their bodies, they forced their heavy legs forward toward the edge of the Creation Platform.
However… with every step they took, the ice covering their bodies grew thicker and thicker!
Their eyes were filled with complex emotions—regret, despair, and above all, an intense desire to escape from the Creation Platform and survive!
Only when their spiritual power was about to run dry did they finally realize…
That being alive was more important than anything else!
But unfortunately—
Now it was too late to withdraw!
Just as they were only a few steps away from successfully escaping the Creation Platform, the purple ice completely covered their bodies, turning them into ice sculptures!
Their unwillingness and desperate struggle before death allowed everyone to clearly witness the cruelty of this selection!
Amid the heart-rending cries of their relatives—
Those ice sculptures shattered, turning into fragments of ice scattered everywhere…
At this moment, while the other clan members were struggling against the bone-chilling cold invading their bodies and resisting the immense pressure—
Tan Yun, on the other hand, was so delighted that he was almost going crazy, allowing the thick purple ice to completely cover his body!
However—
His body did not feel cold in the slightest!
If someone could see through the ice, they would be shocked to discover that inside the layer of ice covering Tan Yun—
Thin strands, as fine as hair, of Purple Ice Essence were slowly flowing into Tan Yun’s left palm!
It was as if some kind of monster hidden in his left palm was… devouring those Purple Ice Essences!
“Hahaha… Heaven truly favors me!”
Inside the layer of ice, Tan Yun was almost driven mad with excitement.
“Heh… the Primordial Ice Flame in my left palm truly deserves its reputation as the nemesis of all ice and cold!”
The reason Tan Yun was so excited was because—
Although the purple ice was a deadly threat to the other clan members, the Ice Essence contained within it was actually a supreme delicacy for his Primordial Ice Flame!
As long as the Ice Essence was completely absorbed, the purple ice would be no different from ordinary river ice… it would be completely incapable of harming him!
At the same time, Tan Yun clearly knew that if the Primordial Ice Flame wanted to advance in rank, it needed to devour Ice-Attribute Flame Seeds and Ice Essences from various sources.
The Primordial Ice Flame hidden in his left palm was originally far too weak, to the point that he could not even control it to leave his palm and fight.
But now, it was just like—
A pillow arriving right when someone was sleepy!
With Ice Essence available to devour, the Primordial Ice Flame now had a chance to grow stronger!
How could he not be excited?
“Come, come!”
“Heh… let the ice power become even more violent!”
Inside the thick layer of ice, Tan Yun laughed cunningly while circulating his spiritual power to resist the immense pressure…
Time slowly passed.
When the Frozen Ice Trial was nearing its end, only 12 clan members remained on the Creation Platform still enduring the ordeal!
Out of the remaining 66 people, only 15 successfully escaped from the Creation Platform.
As for the other 51…
They had long since shattered into fragments of ice!
“Huff… huff…”
Wang Fuchen and Liang Qidi panted heavily, looking extremely exhausted.
Meanwhile, the other 10 remaining clan members had already knelt down on the Creation Platform under the overwhelming pressure.
Their spiritual power… was completely exhausted!
“Hm?”
Mu Mengyi stared at the ice sculpture that encased Tan Yun, a trace of surprise appearing in her beautiful eyes.
“He is only at the 7th level of the Spirit Embryo Realm, yet he still hasn’t died?”
She knew very well that once clan members were completely frozen by the purple ice, their spiritual power would be sealed and they would no longer be able to resist the pressure.
In the end, under the immense pressure—
They would be crushed into fragments of ice!
But now Tan Yun had not yet been torn apart by the pressure.
That meant…
He was still alive!
However, Mu Mengyi was certain that even if Tan Yun was still alive—
He was probably only half alive by now!
