The Supreme Being Against Heaven
Chapter Summary
Is what you’re doing… really worth it?!” “Why must you force yourself to reach Floor 108 right now?!” “You can come back again in 3 months!” “Break through to the 8th level of the Nascent Soul Realm, then climb—it won’t be too late!” “The Mustard Seed Time Tower will always be here—it’s not going anywhere! He had broken the iron rule— that no disciple from all 9 lineages had ever reached Floor 108 of the highest-level Mustard Seed Time Tower since the founding of the sect! Senior Brother Tan rea...
“The summit is right in front of me… how can I possibly give up now?!”
Tan Yun roared—
Thud!
He stepped onto the 2nd step!
The moment his foot landed—
both of his legs nearly tore apart,
blood gushed out violently!
Crack! Crack!
Amid the clear sounds of bones fracturing—
Tan Yun’s gaze only grew fiercer!
He forced his back straight,
enduring pain that felt like it could tear his soul apart—
and began climbing once more!
With every step—
it was as if all the strength in his body was being drained away!
Blood flowed endlessly from the soles of his feet!
30 minutes later—
Tan Yun, now so disfigured he was barely recognizable,
had only 18 steps remaining—
before reaching Floor 108!
“ROOOAAAR!”
A deafening roar echoed!
When he stepped onto the 71st step—
his blood-soaked face twisted to the extreme!
His legs…
were now barely held together by tendons and bone!
“Waaah… Senior Brother Tan…”
Disciples from the Spirit Herb Garden began crying uncontrollably.
Shen Subing’s eyes filled with tears—
every movement Tan Yun made
felt like it was tearing at her heart!
She was ready—
to act and save him at any moment!
Her tears—
were not for anything else,
but for the overwhelming emotion of having such a resolute disciple!
“You foolish child!”
Shen Qingfeng shouted, tears streaming down his face.
“Tan Yun! Is what you’re doing… really worth it?!”
“Why must you force yourself to reach Floor 108 right now?!”
“You can come back again in 3 months!”
“Break through to the 8th level of the Nascent Soul Realm, then climb—it won’t be too late!”
“The Mustard Seed Time Tower will always be here—it’s not going anywhere! Why rush like this?!”
His voice was filled with confusion and pain.
At that moment—
everyone present felt the same way.
They didn’t understand!
No one understood—
why Tan Yun was pushing himself this far!
But—
Tan Yun paid no attention.
He didn’t even have the strength to speak—
all his remaining power… was reserved for reaching the summit!
His gaze was fixed on—
the tightly shut gate of Floor 108!
Within his mind—
countless thoughts surged!
He thought of—
his only wife from the distant past… who had died!
He thought of enemies from countless past lives!
He thought of the battlefields of gods,
the immortal realms,
the Valley of Fallen Gods—
where gods, dragons, and demons…
had all fallen by his hand!
And—
his enemies in the present!
Lu Wu, the 12th Elder of the Pill lineage!
Qiu Yongming, the Law Enforcement Elder of the inner sect!
Murong Hong, the 2nd Elder of the Beast Soul lineage!
Linghu Changhe, Chief of the Sacred lineage!
“Endless hatred… the enemies I face—”
“I must grow stronger without end! To destroy them… and take my revenge!”
“I can’t afford to waste any more time!”
Tan Yun clenched his teeth—
a demonic roar erupted within his heart!
“As long as I obtain the ‘True Purple Phoenix Flame’ and cultivate in the tower for another 54 months—my strength will soar!”
“By then… I will have the right to stand against my enemies!”
Hatred and fury—
transformed into an unyielding belief!
That unwavering will—
held up his collapsing back,
forcing him to move forward once more!
His body trembled—
blood pooled beneath his feet.
His mind was locked—
he could no longer hear Shen Qingfeng’s shouts… or anyone else’s!
In his eyes—
there was only—
the gate of Floor 108!
It was as if—
he could no longer feel the pain in his body—
as though this body… no longer belonged to him!
There was only—
the spirit of battle!
And an unyielding resolve!
Driving him—
to lift legs that were barely more than bone,
and step forward… one step at a time, with immense difficulty!
When only 10 steps remained—
under 339 times gravity—
his face, covered by spiritual energy,
had almost no flesh left!
Especially his legs—
which were now nothing but blood-stained bones!
From a distance—
he looked like a human skeleton,
trembling beneath the starlight!
Everyone watched that scene in silence—
unable to even imagine
the agony Tan Yun was enduring!
Shen Subing’s tears overflowed—
She bit her lips—
proud to have such a disciple!
But at the same time—
she could not understand…
What kind of belief
was supporting him to keep standing… despite such devastating injuries!
Tan Yun’s actions—
deeply shook her heart,
and the hearts of everyone present!
Exhaustion and unbearable pain—
gnawed away at his collapsing body.
But—
those bloodshot eyes
remained unwavering!
His determination to reach Floor 108—
would never falter!
“Almost there… hope is right in front of me!”
Tan Yun stared firmly at the gate of Floor 108,
his faint voice murmuring over and over again!
Thud… thud… thud…
Each heavy step—
carried the expectations and hopes of tens of thousands!
His body swayed—
yet he still forced himself forward to the 87th step!
Only 1 step remained—
and he would reach Floor 108!
“Grr…”
A low growl escaped his throat—
as his right foot stepped onto Floor 108—
the left leg that bore his weight…
suddenly fractured all over!
Cracks spread visibly—
a horrifying sight!
“Child! Endure it!”
Shen Qingfeng stared intensely, his aged voice trembling with both pain and hope!
“Senior Brother Tan! Just half a step more! Hold on!”
Da Niu shouted until his voice turned hoarse!
“Senior Brother Tan! Keep going!”
“Senior Brother Tan!!”
Amid the thunderous cheers of over 50,000 disciples—
Tan Yun used his right leg to support his body,
and slowly… lifted his left foot bit by bit!
Finally—
he stepped onto the final step!
He stood before the gate of Floor 108!
In that instant—
the 339 times gravity pressing down on him—
completely vanished!
Tan Yun’s body trembled—
he was almost nothing but a skeleton!
Slowly—
he turned around,
looking down at the tower below—
and then…
a faint smile appeared on his lips.
This was—
the smile of victory,
the smile of fulfillment!
“Miss… it’s done… Tan Yun did it!”
Shen Qingfeng looked at Shen Subing, tears of joy streaming down his face.
“Tan Yun has become the first disciple of the Pill lineage in 50,000 years to reach Floor 108!”
“I… I know… I know…”
Tears streamed endlessly from Shen Subing’s eyes.
Because she knew—
Tan Yun, at only the 7th level of the Nascent Soul Realm,
had created a “legend” before tens of thousands!
He had broken the iron rule—
that no disciple from all 9 lineages
had ever reached Floor 108 of the highest-level Mustard Seed Time Tower
since the founding of the sect!
At this moment—
the legendary honor Tan Yun created—
did not belong to him alone!
It belonged to… the entire Pill lineage!
Even though his body was broken—
his glory… was boundless!
Tens of thousands of disciples shouted in extreme excitement—
“He did it! Senior Brother Tan reached Floor 108!”
“I… I’m so excited I could cry!”
“All 9 lineages have top-level Mustard Seed Time Towers, but since the sect was founded—no one has ever reached the top! But Senior Brother Tan… did it!”
“That’s right! He is the legend of our Pill lineage!”
“In over 50,000 years, only Senior Brother Tan has achieved this! Even if it doesn’t mean he’s the strongest in the inner sect, he’ll definitely rank in the Top 200 of the Hidden Dragon Ranking!”
“Mm… makes sense!”
“Hahaha! I really want to see the faces of those main disciples from the other 8 lineages—how red they’ll turn when they realize that the ‘trash’ they once mocked… has become a legend!”
