The Supreme Being Against Heaven
Chapter Summary
“Primordial Flame!” “Go die, old bastard!” Tan Yun cursed inwardly as he swung his right hand backward toward the masked black-clothed man. Inside the vast pagoda, the air was instantly filled with the stench of burned flesh and scorched blood. Whoosh… Under the dark night sky, Pang Shiyuan swayed on his sword, staring at Tan Yun’s low-grade soul ship 20 li ahead—but he still could not catch up, to the point of almost coughing blood in rage!
In an instant, Tan Yun had already prepared for the worst-case scenario!
“Primordial Flame!”
“Go die, old bastard!” Tan Yun cursed inwardly as he swung his right hand backward toward the masked black-clothed man.
In that instant, a spatial tremor erupted—an enormous 5 zhang Primordial Flame surged out violently!
“AARGHHH!” the black-clothed man screamed as if his soul was shattering. “Fall back!”
Whoosh—
In the blink of an eye, he erupted with countless waves of spiritual energy, colliding with the Primordial Flame and forcing it back.
Inside the vast pagoda, the air was instantly filled with the stench of burned flesh and scorched blood.
But the man’s back… the flesh had completely vanished, leaving only a pale white spine exposed!
“Old bastard, die!”
Tan Yun activated a time-element technique—“Time Freeze!”
The talisman he had crafted could maintain its effect for 1 breath. Within a radius of 500 zhang, all movement would be reduced by half speed, while he himself remained unaffected.
Inside the pagoda, he did not dare unleash full-power offensive talismans. If the energy exploded completely, it could destroy this mid-grade treasure pagoda instantly, and he himself would be reduced to dust by the backlash!
The moment the “time-stopping power” erupted and dissipated—
the black-clothed man vanished from his original position, leaving behind only a sword beam shooting straight toward Tan Yun’s throat!
“Brat, die!”
The speed was so terrifying that there was almost no chance to dodge!
Suddenly, the black-clothed man let out a shocked cry.
“What?! My speed… reduced by 2 times?!”
“Primordial Divine Step!”
Tan Yun roared and unleashed his highest-level movement technique, dodging in a split second.
Golden spiritual energy erupted across his body as he threw 3 full-force punches toward the exposed spine of his opponent.
“Even with reduced speed, it’s still not enough to kill me!” the black-clothed man roared as he rapidly formed a spiritual energy armor over his back.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The 3 punches landed and instantly shattered the armor.
“Burn him!” Tan Yun roared.
The Primordial Flame surged once again toward the man’s back!
“Scram!” the black-clothed man shouted, spinning around and slapping out a palm strike, shattering the flame.
Then his left palm struck toward Tan Yun at close range. The overwhelming force distorted the space inside the pagoda as if it were about to explode!
“Primordial Ice Flame!”
Tan Yun retreated instantly, then unleashed his left palm.
A 3-zhang Primordial Ice Flame shot forward, instantly wrapping around the black-clothed man.
In an instant, 10 zhang of thick ice froze the entire pagoda space!
The man was sealed inside the ice, leaving only his masked head exposed.
But at that moment—
the time-freeze effect ended abruptly.
“Break it, old bastard!”
The black-clothed man roared.
At the same time, Tan Yun’s heart shook violently. He immediately opened the pagoda door and used the Primordial Divine Step to retreat while snorting coldly.
“Go die!”
In that instant, 5 high-grade talisman scrolls were thrown into the pagoda!
— 3 Heaven-Tearing Thunderstorm Talismans
— 1 Spatial Prison Talisman
— 1 God of Death Annihilation Talisman
Tan Yun flicked his arm, and the pagoda door slammed shut violently.
The Primordial Flame and Primordial Ice Flame were quickly retracted back into his left and right hands.
Then he flicked his fingers, sending 5 strands of spiritual energy to destroy the command-token seal that controlled the pagoda door.
“Thunderstorm Talismans—detonate!”
“Spatial Prison—detonate!”
“God of Death Talisman—kill them all, you bastards!”
A thunderous roar echoed through the night sky!
Tan Yun used the Primordial Divine Step to soar upward, his heart pounding violently.
He knew clearly—only the explosion of these 5 talismans could give him a chance to kill the black-clothed man!
If he hesitated even for a fraction of a second, the opponent—at Soul Refinement Realm 6th level—would break free from the ice restraint and escape through the pagoda door!
At that moment, the one who would die… would be him!
As for the remaining Primordial Flame and Primordial Ice Flame inside the pagoda—they were immortal energies. Even the talisman explosions could not destroy them!
BOOM—
Just as Tan Yun flashed to a height of 500 zhang in the air, the mid-grade Mustard Seed Time-Space Pagoda No. 678 began to expand violently!
“BOOM!!”
In an instant, the hundred-zhang pagoda expanded to 300 zhang, before erupting with a deafening explosion that shook heaven and earth. Shockwaves rippled outward for thousands of li!
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh…
Countless fragments, mixed with a violent storm, scattered in all directions. The residual energy twisted space and air in an instant—engulfing Tan Yun, who had just escaped to a height of only 800 zhang above the ground.
“AAARGH—!”
A miserable scream burst from Tan Yun’s mouth.
Under the impact, like a tidal wave, his silver robe turned to dust in an instant!
Then—his body was torn apart bit by bit, as if thousands of flying blades were slowly executing him!
Puff! Puff! Puff!
Blood and flesh splattered everywhere.
Tan Yun used both hands to tightly protect his neck. His life force surged wildly as he desperately tried to flee upward!
When he finally escaped to a height of 3,000 zhang—
his condition was beyond miserable!
In the darkness of night, it could be seen faintly that both of his legs had been stripped of flesh, leaving only blood-soaked white bones.
His back, chest, and head—all reduced to exposed bone.
Inside his skeletal frame, shattered internal organs were still faintly hanging within the ribcage.
His face, ears, nose, and all flesh were gone, leaving only a skull filled with an intense “will to survive.”
Both arms were nothing but bone. His skeletal hands clutched his bloodied neck tightly.
“I must survive!”
An unyielding will erupted within Tan Yun’s mind, even as his consciousness neared collapse.
Whoosh—
A dark light flashed from the ring on his finger. A low-grade soul ship formed beneath him in an instant.
Thud!
Tan Yun fell onto the soul ship and immediately controlled it, heading toward Mount Xian Cangling—thousands of li away!
“ARGH… you brat, you cannot escape!”
At that moment, a blood-soaked figure shot into the sky from the martial grounds, standing on a flying sword, chasing after the soul ship from 200 li away!
Pang Shiyuan was in an even more tragic state:
Six ribs shattered, chest caved in, blood continuously pouring out.
His hair was disheveled, his left arm was gone entirely, and the remaining right hand—barely flesh—was missing a finger!
Rage and killing intent filled his entire being!
He had never expected that he would fail to kill Tan Yun the moment he entered the pagoda!
Never expected that the other party would possess such rare “Time-Stop Talismans” and “Spatial Prison Talismans”!
And even more unbelievable—Tan Yun actually had 6 high-grade talismans to counter him!
If not for the fact that he broke free from the ice prison in time and relied on a soul ship to survive the initial blast, he would have already been reduced to ashes!
But even though the mid-grade soul ship saved his life—
it had been completely destroyed and could no longer be used.
Now he could only ride a flying sword in his severely injured state!
Whoosh…
Under the dark night sky, Pang Shiyuan swayed on his sword, staring at Tan Yun’s low-grade soul ship 20 li ahead—but he still could not catch up, to the point of almost coughing blood in rage!
“Brat… if I were not injured, how could you possibly escape!”
He gritted his teeth and forcibly circulated his spiritual energy, increasing his flying speed by another 10%.
The distance…
20 li… 19 li…
The gap between the two slowly continued to shrink…
