The Supreme Being Against Heaven
Chapter Summary
The 3 Nine Heavens Thunder Talismans were equivalent to consecutive full-power attacks from a 6th-level Soul Refinement cultivator— Killing a mere 5th-level cultivator like Jiang Xia… was naturally no difficult task! “Collect!” With a wave of his will, Tan Yun used object control—within an instant, all the spirit stones and weapons flew toward him and were stored into his spatial ring! “One day, when you fall into my hands—I’ll make you beg for death and not get it!” After saying that— He immedi...
“Primordial Divine Step!”
Tan Yun’s figure flickered mid-air, vanishing in an instant before reappearing 260 feet away in the same moment.
“Before breaking through to the 8th level, I could only traverse 200 feet in the same amount of time. Now it’s 260 feet… not bad. That’s an increase of over 30% in speed.”
A satisfied smile appeared on Tan Yun’s face. With a wave of his hand, the flying sword behind him transformed into a streak of light beneath his feet, carrying him as he sped toward Mount Changling Immortal Mountain, tens of thousands of li away.
As his cultivation advanced, his flight speed increased from 120,000 li per day to 150,000 li per day.
On his way, he deliberately flew through the sea of clouds. At such terrifying speed, the clouds ahead were split apart as if sliced open by a blade.
At the same time, he released his spiritual sense—comparable to an early-stage Soul Refinement cultivator—covering a radius of 380 li, carefully monitoring all movements around him to check for any pursuers.
His enemies were increasing by the day—he had to remain cautious.
Flying through the clouds like this was also to prevent anyone from secretly tailing him using invisibility techniques or talismans.
His spiritual sense swept through everything meticulously. Not even the slightest movement of the white clouds escaped his perception…
“Looks like I’ve been overly cautious…”
He had just let out a sigh of relief when, in that very instant, his brows furrowed and his heart skipped a beat.
“Someone’s there! And moving incredibly fast!”
Through his spiritual sense, within 380 li behind him, although no one could be seen in the calm sea of clouds, the clouds themselves were rapidly splitting apart to both sides!
It was as if a ferocious beast was moving beneath the surface of a vast ocean!
From the disturbance in the clouds, Tan Yun immediately deduced that the hidden enemy wasn’t riding a spirit vessel—but flying on a sword!
“380 li… 360 li… 300 li…”
Tan Yun didn’t turn around. He continued flying calmly while calculating the opponent’s speed.
From experience, he instantly judged—this speed was at least that of a 5th-level Soul Refinement cultivator!
“Damn it. Whether you’re Peng Siyuan or Lu Wu… today, you’ll either die or be skinned alive!”
Though his thoughts were cold, his expression remained calm, as if everything was under control.
…
Meanwhile—
Jiang Xia, using an invisibility talisman and flying on a sword, had locked onto Tan Yun with his powerful spiritual sense.
At this moment, his heart was filled with excitement!
He had personally witnessed the clash between Tan Yun and the 3rd Elder, Peng Siyuan. In his mind, if Tan Yun died today, everyone would surely believe it was Peng Siyuan’s doing…
Before long—
“8 li… 5 li… 3 li… 500 zhang…”
As Tan Yun continued flying, he silently calculated the distance in his mind.
Suddenly!
A blazing red sword light erupted from the sea of clouds behind him at a distance of 300 zhang!
Wherever the sword light passed, space shattered—countless black cracks tore open, as if the very sky was collapsing!
“Old fool, I’ve been waiting for you!”
As the ferocious sword light slashed toward him—
Tan Yun suddenly roared, turning around instantly as his right arm swung out!
A mid-grade treasure talisman—“Nine Heavens Thunder Talisman”—shot out from his spatial ring in an instant!
“Die!”
With a cold shout, Tan Yun infused it with spiritual power. Instantly, the talisman activated and, under his control, collided head-on with the incoming sword light!
“Boom!”
“Boom!”
“Boom…!”
In an instant—9 thunderous explosions erupted, like heavenly lightning shaking the heavens and earth, roaring from the Nine Heavens Thunder Talisman!
In the blink of an eye, the talisman that had collided with the blade vanished, transforming into 9 dazzling bolts of lightning filled with terrifying destructive power!
Each bolt was about 10 feet thick and 200 feet long, tearing through space and leaving horrifying spatial cracks in their wake!
The 9 bolts intertwined into one, crashing violently into the blazing sword light!
“Bang!”
A deafening explosion echoed across hundreds of li!
In that instant—within the turbulent sea of clouds, the 200-foot sword light shattered into fragments and vanished along with the 9 lightning bolts!
The violent shockwave swept outward, shredding the sea of clouds within a radius of 50 li!
“You bastard! How did you know I was here?!”
An aged voice filled with disbelief echoed through the empty sea of clouds.
Tan Yun heard it clearly—
It was the voice of Peng Siyuan!
But in truth—
It was Jiang Xia in disguise.
“Urgh!”
Tan Yun’s pupils shrank instantly when he saw a spray of fresh blood erupt from the empty sea of clouds about 200 meters ahead!
“Consider yourself lucky today! We’ll meet again!”
Though he couldn’t see the person, Tan Yun clearly noticed that over 200 droplets of blood were scattering and fleeing rapidly into the distance!
At the same time, fragments of a shattered flying sword fell into the clouds below.
It was obvious—the Nine Heavens Thunder Talisman had destroyed Jiang Xia’s sword and inflicted severe injuries on him!
The opponent was fleeing for his life at full speed!
“Meet again? You old fool—do you really think you can escape?!”
Tan Yun sneered coldly, activating the Primordial Divine Step and shooting toward the blood-stained space in an instant!
“You’re here and still thinking of leaving? Leave your life behind!”
“Nine Heavens Thunder Talisman—kill!”
His shout, filled with killing intent, shook the clouds!
The last 2 Nine Heavens Thunder Talismans, each equivalent to the full-force strike of a 6th-level Soul Refinement cultivator (lightning), shot out from his spatial ring!
Accompanied by thunderous roars echoing across hundreds of li, they blasted toward the continuously scattering blood ahead!
Along the way—
The power transformed into 18 lightning bolts, each 200 feet long!
Then—every 9 bolts merged into one, forming 2 lightning dragons that tore through the sea of clouds!
“No——!”
A terrified scream rang out instantly!
From afar, Tan Yun saw clearly—when the first wave of lightning struck and dissipated—
A mist of blood exploded outward, with severed limbs scattering in all directions!
A figure—missing his right arm, drenched in blood, hair disheveled—was forced into visibility mid-air!
“Tan Yun! Don’t kill me!”
Jiang Xia looked at Tan Yun with despair in his eyes and shouted at the top of his lungs,
“I have a great secret to tell you!”
“So it’s you—the lapdog of Lu Wu!”
Tan Yun laughed coldly.
“Take your secret to hell! Die!”
“Bang!”
In that instant—the second lightning dragon, formed from 9 bolts, surged forward and engulfed Jiang Xia’s body!
Space within a radius of 10 li trembled violently!
When everything settled—
Only faint traces of blood mist lingered within the clouds.
Jiang Xia’s body was completely obliterated—there wasn’t even a fragment of flesh left!
The 3 Nine Heavens Thunder Talismans were equivalent to consecutive full-power attacks from a 6th-level Soul Refinement cultivator—
Killing a mere 5th-level cultivator like Jiang Xia… was naturally no difficult task!
“Shhh—!”
Suddenly—
A rain of crystal-like objects began falling from the sea of clouds!
It was a “Spirit Stone Rain”!
Among the falling stones were also medicine bottles, swords, and various weapons!
Clearly—after Jiang Xia’s spatial ring was destroyed, all the treasures inside had scattered outward!
“Collect!”
With a wave of his will, Tan Yun used object control—within an instant, all the spirit stones and weapons flew toward him and were stored into his spatial ring!
After a brief check—
There were 100 top-grade spirit stones
and 230,000 high-grade spirit stones
As for the sword—it was merely a high-grade fire-attribute spirit weapon, likely something Jiang Xia had used in his earlier days.
As for the pills—Tan Yun glanced at them and lost interest. He had no need for them.
“Lu Wu… you persistent bastard!”
Tan Yun sneered coldly.
“One day, when you fall into my hands—I’ll make you beg for death and not get it!”
After saying that—
He immediately flew toward Mount Changling Immortal Mountain once more.
After half a shichen—
Tan Yun descended into the bamboo forest behind the mountain.
He retrieved his flying sword—
Pushed open the door of the residence—
And in that instant, his eyes lit up with joy.
“Elder… when did you arrive back at the sect?”
