The Supreme Being Against Heaven
Chapter Summary
“Junior Brother Tan… your skill in climbing the tower has earned our utmost respect!” Tan Yun took a deep breath and stepped onto the “final step”— standing before the 2 with a faint smile. I’m going to keep climbing.” “Good!” Luo Fan and Song Hong spoke in unison— “Today, we will not enter the 99th floor—we’ll stay and cheer for Junior Brother Tan!” The moment they finished speaking— a shocking scene unfolded before everyone! But before he could finish— Shen Subing cut him off immediately: “Rul...
Under the immense gravity—
the legs of both of them trembled uncontrollably.
As they looked at Tan Yun… who was about to step onto the “99th floor”—
the 2 revealed bitter smiles before cupping their fists in salute.
“Junior Brother Tan… your skill in climbing the tower has earned our utmost respect!”
Tan Yun took a deep breath and stepped onto the “final step”—
standing before the 2 with a faint smile.
“You flatter me, Senior Brothers.”
Song Hong cupped his fists and asked,
“Junior Brother Tan… shall we continue climbing?”
“Of course,” Tan Yun replied firmly.
“When there’s time, we can talk again. I’m going to keep climbing.”
“Good!”
Luo Fan and Song Hong spoke in unison—
“Today, we will not enter the 99th floor—we’ll stay and cheer for Junior Brother Tan!”
The moment they finished speaking—
a shocking scene unfolded before everyone!
The 2 stepped onto their flying swords—
and soared away from the 99th floor, hovering midair!
At the same time, they shouted loudly—
“Junior Brother Tan—please!”
“Alright!”
Tan Yun shouted back—
as pale golden spiritual energy swirled around his body.
Under the moonlight… he looked like a golden war god!
He shot straight toward the “stairway to the 100th floor”!
“Heavens! Look!!”
“Senior Brother Tan is about to break into the 100th floor!”
“Senior Brother Tan is incredible!!”
“……”
Amid the frenzied cheers—
Tan Yun “leaped into the air”!
Under 129× gravity—
he actually jumped a distance of “10 zhang (≈33 meters)”!
Crossing “20 steps” in a single leap!
“Boom!”
Both of his feet slammed heavily onto the “21st step”!
In that instant—
Tan Yun’s legs bent slightly!
“Drip… drip…”
Sweat from his forehead fell onto the steps,
trailing down his sharp-featured face.
His damp hair fell over his eyes—
yet it could not conceal his unwavering gaze!
“The Great Evolution Fire Seed of the 6th Elder—will be mine!”
“The Mysterious Azure Flame of the 2nd Elder—will also be mine!!”
Tan Yun roared inwardly—
and under the stunned gazes of everyone—
he slowly straightened his legs again…
and began to “climb step by step” steadily!
According to the rules—
after reaching the 99th floor, one would have 1 hour of rest before entering the 100th floor.
But Tan Yun—
chose to “push forward immediately”—
so he could use the time afterward to recover!
“Thud… thud… thud…”
Each of his steps—
under 129× gravity—
resounded deeply, like an ancient god walking through time!
And every step—
struck into the hearts of Shen Qingfeng, Shen Wende,
as well as all the disciples and elders present!
Because—
the “miracle beyond the 99th floor”
no longer belonged to Sun Anpei alone—
Tan Yun… was also creating a “legend”!
“Crack… crack…”
Meanwhile—
Sun Anpei, who was ahead by “128 steps”—
had bones throughout his body cracking non-stop!
His flesh was torn, blood covering his face—
he turned back to look at Tan Yun—
his eyes filled with undisguised shock!
Then—
he clenched his teeth and used all his strength to accelerate his climb!
For Sun Anpei—
who was enduring 129× gravity—
he needed to reach the “100th floor” as fast as possible!
To rest—
and to become the “1st person in 30,000 years” to achieve it!
“I must preserve my honor!!”
Sun Anpei roared—
forcing himself to continue step by step!
“Senior Brother Sun, keep going!!”
“You’ll definitely be the 1st alchemy disciple in 30,000 years to reach the 100th floor!”
“Senior Brother Sun, don’t let Tan Yun surpass you!!”
“……”
Peng Shiyuan’s disciples—
shouted encouragement at the top of their lungs!
They knew well—
when a person is pushed to their limits—
the only thing that can sustain them…
is “belief”!
When “belief” reaches a certain point—
it can make a person “forget all pain”
and devote their entire life to what they believe in!
“Senior Brother Tan! You’ll definitely defeat Sun Anpei!!”
“Senior Brother Tan! You are the true king of the Alchemy lineage!!”
“……”
The roaring voices—
were like tidal waves crashing against rocks!
Erupting from tens of thousands of disciples—
they completely drowned out the cheers of Peng Shiyuan’s side!
Shaking the heavens and the earth!
“Good… very good, brat!”
Shen Qingfeng, standing on his flying sword,
trembled with excitement!
Because Tan Yun—
did not only represent himself—
but also the “honor of the Lingshan Herb Garden”!
“Silence!”
Shen Subing commanded coldly, her beautiful eyes filled with shock.
“From now on—no one is allowed to make any noise
that could interfere with Tan Yun and Sun Anpei’s climb!”
In an instant—
the over 58,000 disciples hovering on flying swords
fell completely silent!
Time… slowly passed—
yet the gazes of everyone grew even more intense!
Because—
under the overwhelming gravity—
Sun Anpei, his body torn apart and covered in blood—
had climbed up to the “660th step”!
Only “6 steps” remained—
before reaching the “100th floor”!
As for Tan Yun—
his steps were heavy,
yet he trailed behind by only “10 steps”!
At this moment—
the dried blood on Tan Yun’s body from earlier injuries
had been washed by sweat, turning liquid once again.
Aside from himself—
no one knew that he was “not actually injured” under the 129× gravity!
Everyone assumed—
he was just like Sun Anpei,
his body splitting apart under the immense pressure!
“Crack… crack…”
Sun Anpei’s legs creaked loudly—
his body hunched as he forced himself up another 4 steps!
He turned back to look at Tan Yun, who was now only 7 steps away—
and burst into laughter!
“Tan Yun… you’ve truly surprised me!”
“But unfortunately—you will never be the 1st to reach the 100th floor!”
The moment he finished speaking—
he staggered forward “1 more step”!
“Is that so? Who gave you that confidence?”
Tan Yun replied calmly—
and in the very next instant—
a scene that left everyone “utterly stunned” occurred!
He took “2 consecutive steps”—
crossing “6 steps” in a blink!
Appearing instantly “right behind Sun Anpei”!!
“Impossible!! How can you… be this strong!?”
Sun Anpei shouted in shock!
He gritted his teeth—
and forced himself one step forward,
reaching the “665th step”!
Then—
his trembling right leg lifted,
trying to step onto the “final step”!
But—
that “1 step away”—
became his “lifelong regret”!
In that split second—
Tan Yun smiled faintly—
and surged past Sun Anpei!
Before the latter’s foot could land—
Tan Yun became the “1st” to reach the “100th floor”!
“How is this possible!?”
In the final instant before victory—
Sun Anpei, who believed he had everything under control—
could not withstand the shock!
His expression twisted—
“Crack!”
His left leg, which bore his weight—
exploded instantly!!
“Boom!”
His entire body—
under 129× gravity—
smashed violently onto the stairs!
His nose shattered—
blood splattered in all directions!
“AAAHH!! Master—save me!!”
Sun Anpei screamed in terror,
lying sprawled on the stairs—
blood gushing from his nose and shattered leg!
The situation—was critical to the extreme!
According to the tower-climbing rules—
“outsiders are not allowed to interfere!”
“Sect Master! Please allow me to save Anpei!”
Peng Shiyuan knelt down anxiously!
But before he could finish—
Shen Subing cut him off immediately:
“Rules are rules!”
“Sun Anpei is 1 of the 3 Low-Level Alchemy Grandmasters of our lineage—”
“we cannot let him die during the climb. Go save him!”
“Thank you, Sect Master!”
Peng Shiyuan immediately rushed toward the 100th floor on his flying sword!
Even though the gravity made his body tremble—
he quickly stabilized himself!
He hurriedly picked up Sun Anpei—
and swiftly descended from the tower!
Meanwhile—
Shen Wende was overjoyed!
Looking at Tan Yun, whose body was covered in blood, he shouted loudly:
“Kid! You are now the ‘No.1 Alchemy Disciple in 30,000 years’!!”
“Don’t push yourself any further!”
“Hurry and enter the ‘100th floor’!”
“The moment you step through the tower gate—the 129× gravity will disappear!”
“I’ll come up right away—reattach your arms!”
“And grant you the ‘Great Evolution Fire Seed’!!”
