The Supreme Being Against Heaven
Chapter Summary
BOOM!” Standing atop his flying sword, Gao Yang Wushuang flicked his wrist again and again— Countless sword beams, each nearly 100 meters long and infused with the power of time, rained down on Tan Yun in a frenzied assault! Every word he spoke— Was accompanied by blood seeping from the corner of his mouth… “Gao Yang Wushuang… in the end, you still lost…” “Lost completely!” “Really?” Gao Yang Wushuang gritted his teeth, gripping his sword tightly as he looked down! “How can you control lightning...
“Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh—!”
“BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!”
Standing atop his flying sword, Gao Yang Wushuang flicked his wrist again and again—
Countless sword beams, each nearly 100 meters long and infused with the power of time, rained down on Tan Yun in a frenzied assault!
Gritting his teeth against the pain, Tan Yun struggled to evade each strike!
Slash!
One sword beam cut across his back—
Blood sprayed as a wound deep to the bone was revealed!
“Hiss…!”
Tan Yun drew in a sharp breath, his star-like eyes blazing with killing intent!
“Gao Yang Wushuang! If you’ve got the ability, kill me now! As long as I live—I’ll repay you 2 times over!”
As soon as he finished speaking—
Despite his severe injuries, Tan Yun did not force himself to use the power of Light to heal!
He knew—
With wounds like these, even using recovery power wouldn’t heal him in a short time!
If he forced it, he might lose consciousness immediately!
And once he lost consciousness… even if he recovered, it would only mean walking straight into death!
His body, drenched in blood—
Still relied on the Hongmeng Divine Steps, flickering through the storm of incoming sword beams!
Slash! Slash…!
As he dodged—
His legs and chest were carved open, wounds reaching the bone!
Blood poured along the pale white of exposed bone—
A horrifying sight!
“Argh!”
Suddenly—
Another sword beam came crashing down!
Tan Yun dodged with everything he had—barely avoiding decapitation!
But the left side of his neck—
Was sliced open!
Blood gushed out like a stream!
That single strike—
Had nearly severed his head!
“Hahaha… HAHAHAHA!”
Tan Yun laughed like a demon!
His eyes burned with killing intent!
“Gao Yang Wushuang! Come on! Your time is almost up! Or is this all you’ve got?!”
His roar was wild—yet tinged with weakness—
A release of the fury bottled up in his chest!
Then—
The chaotic heavens and earth… suddenly fell silent!
Panting heavily, Tan Yun stopped evading!
He slowly turned around—
And saw Gao Yang Wushuang staggering atop his flying sword!
His legs trembled uncontrollably, his body convulsing—
It was obvious!
The effects of the “Meridian Expansion and Bone Reinforcement Elixir” had worn off!
Tan Yun slowly turned his body to face him.
Blood still dripped from his severed arms—
The wounds across his chest, back, and legs—
Continued to bleed without end!
In his current state—
He looked like a demon crawling out of a pool of blood!
Across his pale face—
A smile slowly spread!
His laughter—
Sounded like a demon… or the mocking whisper of death itself!
Every word he spoke—
Was accompanied by blood seeping from the corner of his mouth…
“Gao Yang Wushuang… in the end, you still lost…”
“Lost completely!”
“Really?”
Gao Yang Wushuang gritted his teeth, gripping his sword tightly as he looked down!
“Even if I’ve suffered backlash from the elixir—your condition isn’t any better!”
“You’re more heavily injured than I am—killing you… will be easier than flipping my hand!”
“I’ll kill you! Skin you alive! Break your bones! And use your blood to console Xiao Qian’s spirit!”
His roar was filled with grief and hatred!
Gao Yang Wushuang charged downward, sword in hand!
In his eyes—
Tan Yun… had no way out!
But this time—
Tan Yun did not dodge!
He stared straight at the incoming enemy!
Suddenly—
His face twisted in extreme agony!
“Pffft!”
Blood burst from his mouth—
As he roared!
“Wood Prison!”
In an instant—
A piercing shriek tore through the void!
A chilling, sinister aura—
Enveloped Gao Yang Wushuang!
He looked up abruptly—
And saw a sight he would never forget, even in death!
From the empty void—
Countless strands of dark green wood energy—
Shot out like giant serpents!
They intertwined and bound together at lightning speed—
Forming a massive giant palm!
It pressed down from the sky—
Intent on crushing him into dust!
“Tan Yun… what kind of monstrous talent do you even possess?!”
Gao Yang Wushuang screamed in terror!
“How can you control lightning, time, space… and even wood energy?!”
Before his roar could fade—
A brilliant sword beam slashed toward the descending giant palm!
Crack… crack…!
Upon impact—
Hundreds of wood-energy serpents were severed!
“Bind him!”
Tan Yun’s weakened voice rang out!
In an instant—
The giant palm shattered!
Transforming into thousands of green wooden serpents—
That surged forward to bind Gao Yang Wushuang!
Slash! Slash!
Gao Yang Wushuang swung his sword like a madman!
Each strike destroyed dozens of wooden strands, reducing them to dust!
But—
There were simply too many!
“Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh—!”
Under Tan Yun’s control—
5 strands of wood energy shot forward!
They wrapped tightly around Gao Yang Wushuang’s neck, arms, and both legs—
Then—
They pulled in opposite directions!
“N-no—!!!”
A heart-wrenching scream echoed through the air!
Gao Yang Wushuang’s body—
Was torn apart like a five-horse dismemberment!
His arms, legs, and neck—
Were stretched grotesquely in midair!
Within the Hongmeng God-Slaying Sword Formation—
The power of the wood element was amplified by 11 times!
In his severely injured state—
Gao Yang Wushuang had no chance of breaking free!
The bones in his neck, arms, and legs—
Cracked violently, as if they would shatter at any moment!
“Cut it!”
He controlled his flying sword—
And slashed at the 5 strands of wood energy!
At the same time—
Tan Yun directed the remaining wood energy—
To bind the flying sword tightly!
It was well known—
That cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage could control weapons from a distance!
But—
If the opponent’s strength was similar—
No one would choose to attack with a flying sword!
Because the power of a flying sword—
Was less than 1/3 of wielding it directly!
Therefore—
Gao Yang Wushuang’s flying sword—
Was easily restrained by the wood energy!
It could no longer move!
“Gao Yang Wushuang… your moment of glory is over!”
“Now—it’s my turn!”
With the support of the formation—
Tan Yun staggered into the air—
Floating directly in front of Gao Yang Wushuang!
“Tan Yun! If you want to kill me, then do it!”
Gao Yang Wushuang roared like a trapped beast!
“I will never beg for my life!”
His eyes burned with hatred and killing intent!
“Even if you kill me—you can’t change the truth!”
“You… are nothing but a lowly slave!”
“Even if the chief disciple valued you and freed your slave status—letting you become an alchemy disciple…”
“You still can’t change your filthy origins!”
Hearing this—
Tan Yun revealed a cruel smile!
“Go on… keep insulting me!”
His body spun in midair—
His right knee bent—
Crack!
His knee slammed into Gao Yang Wushuang’s ribs, shattering them!
Then—
His right leg whipped upward!
BANG!
A kick landed squarely on his mouth!
Instantly—
Teeth and blood burst out together!
“Tan Yun… I curse—”
Before he could finish—
Tan Yun controlled the restrained flying sword—
Sending it forward like lightning!
The blade pierced straight through his mouth!
It spun violently—
Grinding his tongue into pulp!
Then—
The sword was pulled out!
Gao Yang Wushuang’s face—
Twisted in unbearable agony!
A horrifying sight!
“Still want to keep cursing?”
Tan Yun’s voice was icy, devoid of emotion.
“Too bad… you can’t speak anymore.”
“Ever since I entered the alchemy lineage—I never provoked anyone!”
“But the trash from the 12 Elder Lineages kept trying to kill me!”
At this point—
Tan Yun roared furiously!
“Li Zian was one!”
“Ye Ling was another!”
“And then you came—for Ye Ling!”
“Just thinking about it pisses me off!”
“You damned bastard—!”
As his words fell—
His body spun again in midair!
BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!
4 consecutive kicks—
Struck Gao Yang Wushuang’s limbs!
CRACK!
CRACK!
The sound of bones shattering echoed chillingly!
All 4 limbs—
Exploded into a mist of blood!
Leaving behind only a limbless torso—
Suspended in midair—
Held up by nothing but a single strand of wood energy wrapped around his neck!
