The Supreme Being Against Heaven
Chapter Summary
Under an overwhelming force, a pitch-black spatial rift nearly 100 zhang long abruptly appeared in midair, only to vanish like an illusion in the blink of an eye! “Demonic Wind Maw!” “Wiiii—!” A chilling roar echoed through the heavens, like ghosts wailing and wolves howling, as if a demonic entity had descended. I can guess—you are no ordinary man…” Ye Ling raised his head, looking at the Demonic Wind Maw in the sky that made even his soul tremble, before smiling bitterly in despair.
Suddenly, the air within a radius of 3 li trembled violently!
Under an overwhelming force, a pitch-black spatial rift nearly 100 zhang long abruptly appeared in midair, only to vanish like an illusion in the blink of an eye!
This was the aftermath of wind and lightning power returning to calm—yet powerful enough to tear space apart for a fleeting moment!
This alone was enough to reveal the terrifying might of the “Boundless Wind and Lightning Art”!
“Crack… crack…”
Even though the gigantic hands released by Ye Ling had become more flexible and resilient under the immense explosive force, they were ultimately shattered completely!
The sea of flames that followed was also swept away by the power of wind and lightning, like raging waves crashing through the sky, before gradually extinguishing under the overwhelming force!
As the wind and lightning dissipated, the sky returned to tranquility. The remaining embers fell weakly from above, like fading meteors—beautiful yet fleeting!
“Hah… hah…”
At that moment, after repeatedly using the Boundless Wind and Lightning Art, Ye Ling’s energy was nearly drained dry. He panted heavily, staring down at Tan Yun with a cold sneer.
“Tan Yun… no matter what tricks you have, you will still die in the end!”
Tan Yun stood with his hands behind his back, his face filled with disdain, his tone arrogant.
“Sorry to disappoint you. But before you die, I don’t mind letting you experience true wind and lightning power—or rather, just wind alone is enough to kill you!”
A sharp glint flashed in Tan Yun’s eyes.
“Demonic Wind Maw!”
“Wiiii—!”
A chilling roar echoed through the heavens, like ghosts wailing and wolves howling, as if a demonic entity had descended. The sound of beasts filled the sky and earth!
It made Ye Ling’s scalp go numb!
“This is…!”
Ye Ling looked up toward the source of the sound. When he saw the scene before him, his eyes filled with extreme terror, and the light in them gradually faded into despair!
Above his head, a massive mouth formed from wind appeared in the sky, roaring like a beast that could devour the heavens!
Inside the “Demonic Wind Maw”, with a diameter of over 300 zhang, countless wind blades surged violently. Each one carried the power to tear everything apart—terrifying beyond resistance!
In just an instant, it could completely devour and crush Ye Ling into nothingness!
Even before the Demonic Wind Maw descended, cracks resembling spiderwebs began to spread across Ye Ling’s resolute face, extending from his neck down to his chest!
Ye Ling did not attempt to flee using wind techniques.
It wasn’t that he didn’t want to… but that he knew—any resistance was meaningless!
As someone who possessed a high-grade wind-lightning spirit, he understood clearly just how terrifying the Demonic Wind Maw was!
He could clearly feel… how insignificant he was in the face of this power!
“Heaven and earth have abandoned me, Ye Ling…”
Ye Ling let out a long sigh, then smiled bitterly as he looked at Tan Yun and spoke sincerely.
“Though I refuse to admit it… I truly admire you.”
“I never thought that with my talent in both cultivation and alchemy, I would die like this… until I met you today.”
“Tan Yun… you are not the useless person the world claims you to be. I can guess—you are no ordinary man…”
Ye Ling raised his head, looking at the Demonic Wind Maw in the sky that made even his soul tremble, before smiling bitterly in despair.
“How could an ordinary person control metal, wood, and fire among the five elements… and still wield wind as well?”
“Tan Yun, I respect the strong. Before I die, I hope to exchange my secret for yours… please agree.”
After speaking, Ye Ling bowed deeply to Tan Yun, lowering his head. Though lifeless, his eyes still carried a trace of sincere hope.
Tan Yun stared at Ye Ling for 3 breaths, then took a deep breath and said,
“Go ahead. What I can answer, I will answer.”
Ye Ling raised his head, his gaze serious.
“The one who ordered me to kill you… is Elder Duan—Duan Zhen.”
“Duan Zhen?”
Tan Yun frowned, his eyes filled with confusion.
“Yes,” Ye Ling replied calmly. “He’s the one who sent you to Tower No. 666 today.”
“That two-faced bastard!”
Killing intent surged in Tan Yun’s eyes. “Good! Very good!”
“The day I come out of seclusion… will be the day he dies!”
Having made up his mind, Tan Yun fixed his gaze on Ye Ling and said calmly,
“In the end… what exactly do you want to ask?”
Ye Ling sighed softly.
“Tan Yun, I won’t pry into your secrets. I just want to know… before I die, just how strong you really are.”
Tan Yun spoke with dominance, his tone filled with authority:
“If I want to be No. 1 in the Alchemy Ranking Battle… then I will be No. 1.”
“I understand…”
Ye Ling smiled in relief. “To die at the hands of a powerhouse like you… perhaps this is the best ending for me.”
With that, he slowly closed his eyes, quietly awaiting the arrival of death.
“Your peace of mind… deserves an intact corpse. End your life yourself.”
As Tan Yun’s words fell, the “Demonic Wind Maw” looming above Ye Ling’s head instantly dissipated.
Ye Ling slowly opened his eyes, glanced at Tan Yun, then turned around.
A flying sword appeared in his right palm.
He raised the sword with trembling hands… and slashed it across his own neck!
“Slash!”
Blood sprayed forth as his body fell from the peak of the whirlwind…
—
At the same time, outside Mustard Seed Space Tower No. 666—
For the tens of thousands watching, the Primordial God-Slaying Sword Formation was still churning violently, making it impossible to see anything inside.
Although the formation had yet to be broken… everyone knew that Tan Yun was still alive!
If he had died, the formation would have collapsed on its own without needing to be attacked!
“How long has it been? Why hasn’t Senior Brother Ye broken the formation and killed Tan Yun yet?!”
“Exactly! I really want to know what’s happening inside!”
“Damn it, this is so frustrating! We can only watch but see nothing!”
“Hmph! What’s the point of complaining? If you’re so curious, go in and see for yourself!”
“I’m just saying! If I had strength comparable to Ye Ling, why wouldn’t I go in?!”
“Are you insulting me—?!”
“That’s enough! Stop arguing! Look—the formation is about to break! Tan Yun must be dead for sure!”
One disciple’s shout silenced the others as everyone fixed their gaze on the sword formation, which was slowly collapsing!
In midair, Shen Wende, standing atop his flying sword, was also watching closely!
“Hmph, Tan Yun is dead. This time, I’ve rendered great merit.”
Duan Zhen, standing quietly behind the crowd, curled his lips into a cold smile, already imagining the grand reward he would receive after reporting Tan Yun’s death to the 12th Elder.
The moment the Primordial God-Slaying Sword Formation shattered—
Tens of thousands of people widened their eyes!
Their gazes filled with extreme shock!
Before them—
Tan Yun stood completely unharmed, his hands clasped behind his back, exuding elegance.
At his feet… lay a corpse with its throat slit!
In that instant—
The entire martial arena fell into absolute silence!
Silent as still water!
Only the heavy breathing of the crowd echoed through the air!
After a brief pause—
Cheers of excitement, screams of exhilaration, and cries of sorrow erupted all at once, surging like a tidal wave that seemed ready to engulf the heavens and earth!
“Tan Yun killed Ye Ling?! How is that possible?!”
“Am I dreaming?! Slap me—wake me up!!”
