The Supreme Being Against Heaven
Chapter Summary
Her clear voice echoed throughout the area— “Today, Tan Yun has reached the 107th floor, creating an honor unseen in nearly 30,000 years!” “And now—he is about to challenge the ultimate glory!” “If he succeeds— he will become the first inner disciple since the founding of the Huangfu Sacred Sect 50,000 years ago to reach the 108th floor!” “For all of you to witness this— is the highest honor!” “Because reaching the 108th floor… is extraordinarily difficult!” She paused briefly before continuing ...
Dragging his exhausted body,
Tan Yun slowly began ascending the stairs toward the 108th floor!
He knew this clearly—
He could not stop!
The spiritual energy within his spiritual pool that sustained his body…
was now only 3/10 remaining!
He had to reach the 108th floor—
before his energy was completely exhausted!
Shen Subing took a deep breath,
then turned to face everyone, her expression solemn.
Her clear voice echoed throughout the area—
“Today, Tan Yun has reached the 107th floor, creating an honor unseen in nearly 30,000 years!”
“And now—he is about to challenge the ultimate glory!”
“If he succeeds—
he will become the first inner disciple since the founding of the Huangfu Sacred Sect 50,000 years ago to reach the 108th floor!”
“For all of you to witness this—
is the highest honor!”
“Because reaching the 108th floor…
is extraordinarily difficult!”
She paused briefly before continuing in a firm tone—
“Now, in my name as Sect Master—
I permit everyone to show respect and cheer for Tan Yun!”
After speaking—
Shen Subing turned back to look at Tan Yun once more.
A trace of gentleness flickered in her eyes.
“I hope… you succeed.”
“This disciple… will do his utmost,”
Tan Yun replied softly without turning back.
Then—
He arrived before the first step leading to the 108th floor!
“Senior Brother Tan! Just do your best! It’s okay if you can’t make it—you’re already amazing—”
A disciple from the Spirit Medicine Garden shouted, but before he could finish—
“What nonsense are you spouting!”
Da Niu roared angrily. “Is that how you cheer someone on?!”
“I… I was just worried…”
“If you say one more word—
the Spirit Medicine disciples will beat you senseless!”
In an instant—
Not only the Spirit Medicine disciples,
but even tens of thousands of others stared at him unfavorably!
“Uh…”
“You’ll get slapped before you even realize it!”
Da Niu snorted, then shouted at the top of his lungs—
“Senior Brother Tan! You can do it! In my eyes, you are invincible! Even if the tower had 999 floors, you’d still conquer it!”
Many disciples couldn’t help but twitch their lips—
That encouragement was a bit too exaggerated!
“Tan Yun! Keep going! Reach the pinnacle of glory!”
Luo Fan and Song Hong shouted sincerely.
Tan Yun’s performance… had earned their deepest respect!
“Senior Brother Tan, go for it! Reach the summit!”
Cheers erupted—
Tens of thousands of disciples shouted in unison!
Their voices shook the heavens—
echoing across the skies!
“ROAR!!!”
Amidst the cheers—
Tan Yun roared like a ferocious beast!
He lifted his right foot—
roared again—
then stepped his left foot onto the first step!
“Crack! Crack!”
Instantly—
Gravity surged to 339×!
Like a massive mountain pressing down!
Tan Yun’s back and legs—
bent violently!
In that moment—
All cheering stopped!
Replaced by—
Heavy, suffocating breathing from the crowd!
“Crack… crack…”
Bone-chilling sounds echoed from Tan Yun’s body—
Suddenly—
His face, neck, and entire body…
split open!
His clothes tore apart—
Revealing a blood-soaked body,
even exposing white bone beneath the flesh!
That scene—
Was so horrifying that people could barely breathe!
“Tan Yun! Stop!”
Shen Qingfeng shouted anxiously.
“If you keep going—you’ll die!”
“The summit is right before me… how can I give up now!”
Tan Yun roared—
Thud!
He stepped onto the 2nd step!
The moment his foot landed—
Both his legs nearly tore apart,
blood gushing out!
“Crack! Crack!”
Amid the clear sounds of bones fracturing—
Tan Yun’s gaze grew even more resolute!
He forcibly straightened his back,
enduring pain that seemed to tear apart his very soul—
and continued climbing!
With every step—
It felt as if all strength was drained from his body!
Blood flowed endlessly from his feet!
30 minutes later—
Tan Yun, now almost unrecognizable,
was only 18 steps away
from the 108th floor!
“ROAR!!!”
A deafening roar echoed!
When he reached the 71st step—
his blood-covered face twisted in agony!
His legs…
were now barely held together by tendons and bone!
“Sob… Senior Brother Tan…”
The Spirit Medicine disciples wept uncontrollably.
Shen Subing’s eyes filled with tears—
Every movement of Tan Yun
felt like it was tearing at her heart!
She stood ready—
to save him at any moment!
Her tears—
were not for anything else,
but for the overwhelming emotion of having such a steadfast disciple!
“You foolish child!”
Shen Qingfeng shouted through tears.
“Tan Yun! Is this really worth it?!”
“Why force yourself to reach the 108th floor now?!”
“You can come back in 3 months!”
“Break through to the 8th level of the Nascent Soul Realm first, then climb!”
“The tower isn’t going anywhere! Why rush?!”
His voice was filled with confusion and pain.
At that moment—
Everyone felt the same—
They didn’t understand!
No one understood—
why Tan Yun would push himself this far!
But—
Tan Yun paid no attention.
He didn’t even have the strength to speak—
all his power was reserved for reaching the summit!
His gaze was locked onto—
the tightly shut gate of the 108th floor!
Within his mind—
Countless thoughts surged!
He thought of—
his one and only wife from ages past… who had died.
He thought of enemies from countless past lives!
He thought of the battlefield of gods,
the immortal realm,
the Fallen God Valley—
where gods, dragons, and demons…
had all perished because of him!
And—
his current enemies!
Lu Wu!
The 12th Elder of the Alchemy Line!
Qiu Yongming! The Law Enforcement Elder!
Murong Hong! The 2nd Elder of the Beast Soul Line!
Linghu Changhe! The Chief of the Sacred Line!
“Eternal hatred… the enemies I face—”
“I must grow stronger without end! Destroy them… and take 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 power will soar!”
“Only then… will I have the right to fight them!”
Hatred and fury—
transformed into unwavering conviction!
His unshakable will—
propped up his collapsing body,
forcing him forward!
His body trembled—
blood pooled beneath his feet.
His mind was locked—
He could no longer hear Shen Qingfeng… or anyone else!
In his eyes—
there was only—
the gate of the 108th floor!
He no longer felt pain—
as if this body… was no longer his!
There remained only—
his fighting spirit!
and his refusal to yield!
Driving him—
to lift legs that were barely bones,
step by step… with extreme difficulty!
When only 10 steps remained—
Under 339× gravity—
His face, covered in spiritual energy,
was almost completely devoid of flesh!
Especially his legs—
nothing but blood-soaked bones!
From afar—
he looked like a skeleton
trembling beneath the starlight!
Everyone watched in silence—
unable to imagine the suffering he endured!
Tears blurred Shen Subing’s vision…
The liquid within the 8th spiritual womb
filled to the brim—sparkling brilliantly!
“Liquid—transform into womb!”
In an instant—
The spiritual liquid began to “come alive,”
slowly rotating.
3 hours later—
It condensed—
forming a human figure seated cross-legged,
radiating a faint golden glow!
Then—
That figure began to solidify…
4 months later—
It became—
a Primordial Infant Soul,
identical to Tan Yun in every way!
Sitting motionless like a statue
within the 8th spiritual womb.
At the same time—
The womb that had once been dried and empty
rapidly dissipated!
Suddenly—
The 8th Primordial Infant Soul
opened its eyes!
Its gaze was as deep as the ocean—
releasing beams of chaotic light!
When the light receded—
its eyes returned to a primordial state,
exuding an awe-inspiring, oppressive presence!
At this moment—
Within Tan Yun’s spiritual pool—
8 Primordial Infant Souls
sat arranged in a circle!
This was the sign—
that he had stepped into
the 8th level of the Nascent Soul Realm!
As his cultivation level increased—
both his spiritual sense
and the Primordial God-Slaying Sword Formation
would grow stronger as well!
Tan Yun raised his head and looked at the time gauge on the tower wall—
and discovered—
he had already spent
1 year, 9 months, and 18 days inside the tower.
There was still—
2 years, 8 months, and 12 days remaining
before the tower would open!
However—
Tan Yun did not choose to continue cultivating for another breakthrough.
Because he knew—
even if he advanced to the 9th level—
if he faced a cultivator of the Soul Refinement Realm,
he would still “die”!
Therefore—
he decided that…
he must strengthen his physical body first!
At present—
he had cultivated the Primordial King Body
to the 2nd stage (proficient level).
Previously—
he had already refined the bones of his:
hands,
arms,
feet,
legs,
and all 24 ribs.
Now—
after reaching the 8th level—
he could control
10 streams of Primordial Divine Liquid
to refine—
his spine!
And once he reached the 9th level—
he would be able to refine all bones from the neck down!
At that time—
his body would be as durable as
a top-grade spirit weapon!
And he would even be able to—
tear apart high-grade spirit weapons with his bare hands!
Even now—
though he had not fully completed the 2nd stage—
as long as he successfully refined his spine—
his body would already be capable of
contending against high-grade spirit weapons!
Tan Yun closed his eyes—
his consciousness sinking deep into the Primordial Heart
floating within the center of his spiritual pool.
He stood in midair—
like the ruler of this primordial world!
Below him—
was a vast ocean of Primordial Divine Liquid!
His soul surged forward—
“Power!”
“I need greater power!”
“I need strength beyond all opposition!”
“Primordial Divine Liquid—come!”
“I, Tan Yun—will use the pain of body refinement
to temper my will!”
