The Supreme Being Against Heaven
Chapter Summary
A person like this… is worth risking my life to save!” Tan Yun muttered to himself as he looked down at the heavily wounded woman in white, then shouted loudly, “Don’t jump! Moments later, when the Blood-Winged Spirit Lion was still about 100 ft away from the cliff, the Snowfield Demonic Ape appeared behind the woman in white at a distance of only 50 ft. Not only will you not die, but I will do everything in my power to make you even stronger than a dragon!” As soon as he finished speaking, Tan ...
“Even at the final moment of her life, she is still worried about the safety of others. A person like this… is worth risking my life to save!”
Tan Yun muttered to himself as he looked down at the heavily wounded woman in white, then shouted loudly,
“Don’t jump! Stay there and don’t move!”
Then he slapped the back of the Blood-Winged Spirit Lion and ordered,
“Big guy, go down now!”
“Roar… woo…”
Hearing his master’s command to descend, the Blood-Winged Spirit Lion let out a soft protest, its body trembling violently.
After all, it was only a Level 1 spirit beast in the growth stage.
Meanwhile, the Level 1 Tribulation-Crossing Snowfield Demonic Ape triggered fear from the very depths of its soul!
However,
to a spirit beast, its master was everything.
Even if it had to face death, it would never retreat!
Right now, it was merely resisting by instinct.
“Big guy, this concerns a human life. Go down now!”
Tan Yun shouted sternly, leaving no room for hesitation.
“Roar!”
The Blood-Winged Spirit Lion let out a low roar.
It forced down the fear in its heart, then trembled as it swooped down from the sky toward the cliff!
Moments later,
when the Blood-Winged Spirit Lion was still about 100 ft away from the cliff,
the Snowfield Demonic Ape appeared behind the woman in white at a distance of only 50 ft.
The situation had already reached extreme danger!
“Junior Brother, it’s too late! Don’t worry about me—run!”
the woman in white cried out in panic.
But Tan Yun completely ignored her words.
He leaped off the back of the Blood-Winged Spirit Lion in midair and used the Hongmeng Divine Step.
Every time his body flashed,
he descended 15 ft.
After using it 6 times,
he appeared 10 ft above the head of the woman in white.
At that very moment,
the Snowfield Demonic Ape suddenly leaped up from behind her and snapped down with its blood-red mouth!
If nothing changed,
in the next second,
the woman in white would be swallowed whole!
At the split second between life and death,
Tan Yun roared,
“Senior Sister, get down quickly!”
The woman in white was startled and immediately crouched down.
In that instant,
Tan Yun swept past above her head, landed on the ground, and shielded her behind him!
At that moment,
the savage mouth of the Snowfield Demonic Ape bit down toward Tan Yun’s head!
“Haah!”
Tan Yun shouted loudly.
The spiritual power within his body surged out violently.
Streams of pale golden energy flowed into his arms!
Then…
Tan Yun crossed both arms and raised them high,
blocking the jaw of the Snowfield Demonic Ape.
Pale golden spiritual power surged across his arms, strengthening them to the limit!
“Bang!”
A dull, heavy impact rang out.
The jaw of the Snowfield Demonic Ape slammed fiercely into Tan Yun’s arms!
Tan Yun felt a terrifying force surge into his arms.
In an instant,
his sleeves tore apart.
His skin split open, and fresh blood gushed out!
Tan Yun’s sudden appearance drove the Snowfield Demonic Ape into utter fury.
It immediately raised its head and smashed it down toward Tan Yun again!
Crack! Crack!
Tan Yun’s blood and energy churned violently.
He coughed out a mouthful of blood.
His leg bones produced horrifying cracking sounds, as if they could break at any moment!
His face turned red,
veins bulging across his cheeks.
While forcing himself to endure, he glanced back at the white-robed woman who was watching with concern and shouted urgently,
“I can’t hold on much longer—run!”
“You risked your life to save me. How could I abandon you in danger and run away alone!”
The woman in white staggered to her feet.
She drew the sword in her hand.
She was about to charge forward and kill the Snowfield Demonic Ape!
Seeing this,
Tan Yun felt both moved and furious.
He shouted loudly,
“Are you deaf?!”
“If you don’t run, we’ll both die!”
“I’ll say this one last time…”
“Get the hell out of here right now!”
“Okay… sob… I’ll run now!”
Tears welled in the eyes of the woman in white.
She gritted her teeth, turned around, and staggered away toward the left side, fleeing as fast as she could.
“Roar!”
The Snowfield Demonic Ape glanced briefly at the fleeing woman, then let out a thunderous roar.
Immediately afterward, it pressed its jaw down on Tan Yun while swinging its powerful right forearm toward Tan Yun’s chest with explosive force, the wind from the strike roaring through the air!
Tan Yun had no way to dodge!
If he took this attack head-on,
he would either die or be crippled!
“Roar!”
Suddenly, another beast’s roar echoed!
The Blood-Winged Spirit Lion, unable to watch its master in danger any longer, shot through the air and bit fiercely into the Snowfield Demonic Ape’s right forearm!
In an instant,
dark, foul-smelling blood gushed out from the wound!
“ROOOAARRR!”
Tan Yun roared with anger as the Snowland Demon Ape became completely enraged. It raised its head and let out a furious roar, then swung its left forelimb and smashed it viciously toward the head of the Blood-Winged Spirit Lion!
At that very moment, Tan Yun seized the opportunity and escaped immediately!
Boom!
Blood burst out from the seven orifices of the Blood-Winged Spirit Lion. Its mountain-like body was sent flying dozens of feet away before crashing heavily onto the snow on the mountainside.
The Blood-Winged Spirit Lion struggled to raise its head with great difficulty and looked toward Tan Yun, who had survived.
Within its huge eyes appeared both satisfaction and fear of death.
“Big guy!”
Tan Yun’s eyes turned red. His figure transformed into several afterimages as he rushed forward and stopped in front of the Blood-Winged Spirit Lion.
His voice trembled.
“I’ll take you away right now… Don’t be afraid. You won’t die… you won’t die!”
The Blood-Winged Spirit Lion had been by Tan Yun’s side since his childhood.
Between them existed a deep bond.
Seeing it on the verge of death, tears flowed from Tan Yun’s eyes uncontrollably.
“Uu…”
The Blood-Winged Spirit Lion looked at Tan Yun. Its eyes revealed sorrow like that of a human.
“Don’t cry, big guy!”
Tan Yun wiped away his tears and spoke firmly.
“I—Tan Yun—swear! Not only will you not die, but I will do everything in my power to make you even stronger than a dragon!”
As soon as he finished speaking,
Tan Yun quickly placed the severely injured Blood-Winged Spirit Lion into the Spirit Beast Bag.
But at that very moment,
the Snowland Demon Ape was already chasing after him with murderous intent!
“Run!”
Tan Yun used the Hongmeng Divine Step and rapidly dashed down the mountain.
When he passed the white-clothed woman, who was so severely injured that she could no longer escape, he quickly picked her up in his arms and hurriedly fled down the mountain!
The white-clothed woman spoke weakly, her voice filled with deep guilt.
“Junior Brother… the Snowland Demon Ape is a Level 1 Tribulation-Crossing beast. Its endurance in pursuit is extremely terrifying…”
“Don’t worry about me, otherwise you won’t be able to escape either!”
She continued sorrowfully.
“I’m sorry… I’m truly sorry… I dragged you into this… please don’t worry about me!”
Tan Yun replied resolutely while rushing along the snowy mountain path at high speed.
“Since I decided to save you, I will not abandon you halfway!”
“Your injuries are very serious. Escaping like this will cause a lot of shaking. Talk less and recover your strength as quickly as possible!”
“Roar! Roar! Roar!”
The Snowland Demon Ape had completely entered a berserk state.
Its body was wrapped in thick black demonic energy.
Each time it leaped, it could cover nearly 30 zhang (about 15 meters).
The distance between it and Tan Yun below—3 li (about 1.5 kilometers)—was steadily shrinking!
“You filthy beast! If you’ve got the ability, then chase me!”
Tan Yun shouted insults without turning back, channeling spiritual power into his legs as he fled for his life at full speed!
“Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Boom!”
A Level 1 Tribulation-Crossing beast possessed intelligence comparable to a human teenager.
When it heard a tiny human daring to insult it,
the Snowland Demon Ape became so furious that it nearly went mad!
It beat its chest violently before grabbing a giant boulder weighing tens of thousands of kilograms and hurling it toward Tan Yun like a cannon shell!
Half a shichen later
Tan Yun, carrying the heavily wounded white-clothed woman, had already fled from the snow-covered peak.
Spiritual power still surrounded his body as the two continued escaping along the mountain range.
But it seemed that
the Snowland Demon Ape had no intention of letting Tan Yun escape.
It maintained its maximum speed
and continued chasing relentlessly!
