The Supreme Being Against Heaven
Chapter Summary
Then he spoke in a deep voice: “A man’s knees are worth gold!” “Everyone—stand up!” “If I haven’t given the order, I’d like to see who dares to stand!” The red-robed disciple roared, his voice shaking the surroundings. Tan Yunjian looked at the fearful, submissive crowd and raised his voice further: “Servant disciples like us also have dignity!” “Dignity—cannot be trampled by anyone!” “I’ll say this one last time—if you are still men, then stand up for me!” “Senior Brother Tan is right! Tan Yunj...
The red-robed disciple suddenly turned around, glaring fiercely at Tan Yunjian, who was dressed in servant disciple attire. His eyes burned with rage.
“Who are you calling out? Say that again if you dare!”
Tan Yunjian didn’t even bother responding to the roar.
His figure flashed, appearing in front of the group of servant disciples. Then he spoke in a deep voice:
“A man’s knees are worth gold!”
“Everyone—stand up!”
“If I haven’t given the order, I’d like to see who dares to stand!”
The red-robed disciple roared, his voice shaking the surroundings.
Tan Yunjian looked at the fearful, submissive crowd and raised his voice further:
“Servant disciples like us also have dignity!”
“Dignity—cannot be trampled by anyone!”
“I’ll say this one last time—if you are still men, then stand up for me!”
“Senior Brother Tan is right! We are human too—we have dignity! Stand up!”
One disciple stood up, his eyes red.
“We have dignity too!”
In that instant,
the long-suppressed fighting spirit of the servant disciples was ignited by Tan Yunjian!
A thunderous roar erupted—
All the disciples stood up at once!
Standing tall, chests out, shoulders straight!
“Damn it! You lowly ants dare to rebel?!”
The red-robed disciple glared at Tan Yunjian furiously, his voice like thunder.
“Today, I’ll show you the consequences of not knowing your place!”
“Hmph!”
“Whoosh!”
The air trembled violently.
The red-robed disciple flicked his iron whip, lashing it forward at incredible speed toward Tan Yunjian’s back!
The whip was like a serpent’s tongue, striking toward the back of his neck in an instant!
But—
Just as it was about to hit,
Tan Yunjian suddenly turned around!
With his bare hand, he grabbed the iron whip tightly!
“Even if I’m an ant, I’m still better than you!”
Tan Yunjian yanked his right hand!
A terrifying force surged through the whip.
The red-robed disciple felt an unstoppable power and instantly lost his grip!
“I didn’t expect trash like you to have such strength! So what?!”
The red-robed disciple sneered, then gave a cold command:
“Kill him!”
In an instant,
the spatial ring on his hand glowed.
A beam of black light shot into the sky, expanding into a massive black alchemy furnace as large as a mountain!
It descended rapidly, carrying overwhelming pressure that made the air quake violently!
“A high-grade spirit weapon? Good.”
Tan Yunjian smiled.
He stomped the ground hard.
“Boom!”
The earth cracked, dust billowed.
His body shot into the sky.
His right fist, wrapped in faint golden spiritual energy, slammed fiercely into the giant furnace!
“Boom!”
“How is this possible?! The crushing force of my furnace reaches 1,000,000 jin—how can it still not match your strength?!”
The red-robed disciple shouted in shock.
The mountain-sized furnace trembled violently before being blasted away by Tan Yunjian’s punch, flying over 100 zhang!
“Just a million jin, and you think you can suppress me?”
Tan Yunjian hovered in midair, then turned into a streak of silver light and charged toward his opponent!
“Stone Peak Manifestation!”
In panic,
brown earth-element energy surged from the red-robed disciple’s forehead,
transforming into an earthen mountain over 30 zhang tall in front of him!
In the blink of an eye, the entire mass turned into solid rock.
A brown stone mountain floated in the air!
“Die!”
The red-robed disciple thrust his right hand forward.
The stone mountain roared forward like a ferocious beast, crashing toward Tan Yunjian!
“With just an earth-element embryonic soul, you think you can kill me?”
Tan Yunjian said coldly.
As the stone mountain rushed toward him, he instead charged straight into it!
“Boom—Crash!”
The stone mountain, over 100 meters tall, shattered instantly!
Fragments scattered everywhere.
“Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!”
They pierced through the surrounding bamboo, leaving it riddled with holes!
“You’re only at the 7th level of the Nascent Soul Stage—how can you be this strong?!”
The red-robed disciple’s face turned pale, all arrogance gone.
He cried out like a stray dog:
“Earth Escape!”
In an instant—
Earth-element energy enveloped his body.
He sank into the ground as if there were no resistance at all.
Under the power of the earth element, he moved through the soil like a fish in water,
rushing rapidly toward the foot of Mount Changling Immortal!
His speed—30% faster than flying on a sword in the air!
“This is too terrifying… who exactly is this Tan? He’s clearly just a servant disciple, yet he can fight across levels, and his strength is so overwhelming that I can’t resist it at all!”
The alchemy-line disciple at the 9th level of the Embryonic Soul Refinement Stage fled for his life within the dim underground.
Cold sweat drenched his entire body!
Before long,
he poked his head out from the roots at the foot of Mount Changling Immortal, like a rat sneaking around.
His eyes darted left and right cautiously.
After confirming that Tan Yunjian hadn’t followed, he climbed out of the ground, panting heavily, his body covered in dirt.
“Damn it, Tan! I’ll remember this!”
“I’ll go find my big brother—then we’ll see how you die!”
The red-robed disciple seemed to imagine his elder brother coming to help him tonight.
A faint smile appeared on his face.
But—
that smile froze instantly!
As a voice sounded from above—
“Forget calling your big brother—even if you call your grandfather, what can you do?”
The red-robed disciple immediately looked up.
He saw—Tan Yunjian floating above him on a flying sword!
“You… you’re only at the 7th level of the Nascent Soul Stage. How is your speed faster than my ‘Earth Escape Technique’…”
His voice abruptly stopped.
Amid his dazed and confused gaze,
Tan Yunjian’s eyes flickered with a strange red light…
Not long after,
in front of the residential area of the Lingshan Spirit Herb Garden,
more than 800 servant disciples were discussing anxiously.
“I wonder how Senior Brother Tan is doing now…”
“Yeah! It’s really worrying!”
Suddenly,
one disciple exclaimed in shock:
“Look! Senior Brother Tan is back!”
Everyone looked up.
They saw Tan Yunjian arriving on his flying sword,
one hand carrying the motionless red-robed disciple!
“Thud!”
Tan Yunjian landed in front of the crowd,
casually throwing the red-robed disciple onto the ground.
Then he flicked his finger,
a strand of spiritual energy shot into the man’s body, leaving him completely powerless!
“Hang him up!”
Tan Yunjian ordered.
Immediately, 2 servant disciples hurried to find a rope, tied the red-robed disciple’s legs, and hung him upside down on a crooked tree.
After that,
Tan Yunjian released his control over the “Hongmeng Divine Eyes.”
When he regained consciousness,
the red-robed disciple struggled weakly and roared hoarsely:
“What do you want?!”
“I am a noble inner-sect alchemy disciple! You servant disciples dare to rebel?!”
Hearing this,
fear appeared uncontrollably in the eyes of the several hundred servant disciples.
Tan Yunjian raised an eyebrow slightly, glanced at Zhou Run and the other 10 severely injured disciples,
then spoke coldly:
“What are you afraid of?”
“He’s already trampling all over you, and you still want to endure it?”
Then, he pointed at the iron whip the red-robed disciple had dropped,
and said firmly:
“Some people abandon their dignity just to keep living—what’s the difference between them and walking corpses?”
“But others live for their dignity!”
“As men, temporarily setting aside dignity may be understandable—but you cannot abandon it for your entire life!”
“If you abandon it for life—that is true cowardice!”
Tan Yunjian swept his gaze across everyone.
His voice rang out powerfully:
“The opportunity is right in front of you!”
“Will you continue bowing your heads in fear, or will you step forward, pick up the whip—and return 2 times the humiliation this bastard has given you?!”
