The Supreme Being Against Heaven
Chapter Summary
At that moment— Tan Yun was too worried about the Golden Dragon Divine Lion to notice that an enormous amount of black mist was continuously flowing into the Spirit Beast Pouch hanging at his waist! After that— hundreds of Level 3 Early-Stage Abyssal Azure Centipedes, led by a Level 4 Growth-Stage Abyssal Azure Centipede, began crawling toward Tan Yun! The Level 4 Abyssal Azure Centipede outside the formation let out a low hiss before leading the swarm away toward the corpses of the 500+ Flame G...

"They... couldn't understand it at all.
Why was the flame they were so proud of—the strongest offensive power of their race—
completely useless against this human?!
And even worse—
this human's purple flame possessed a terrifying killing power against them!"
"Come at me if you've got the guts, you fur-covered beasts!"
Tan Yun roared furiously!
In an instant, the 12-zhang-tall Hongmeng Flame vanished from the air and transformed into a sea of fire that wrapped around his entire body!
Whoosh!
Standing atop his flying sword, Tan Yun charged straight toward the flock of Flame Griffins!
But what happened next was unbelievable—
hundreds of Flame Griffins panicked and fled in fear!
ROOOAAARRR—
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
At that moment, a painful lion's roar erupted from the depths of the abyss, followed by several earth-shaking explosions!
Tan Yun's expression changed instantly!
He immediately released his spiritual sense, and when it extended more than 200 li into the abyss—
his heart sank!
He saw the Golden Dragon Divine Lion pinned to the ground by the Profound Flame Griffin, whose body was nearly 2 times larger!
The giant beak of the griffin was stabbing down wildly, leaving massive wounds all over the lion's body!
Clearly—
the Golden Dragon Divine Lion was in mortal danger!
"Big Guy, hold on!!"
Tan Yun roared as he shot upward into the endless black mist above the abyss atop his flying sword!
He concealed his aura completely while tearing through the black fog at incredible speed!
Behind him, more than 600 Flame Griffins chased after him through the mist like hundreds of blazing meteors!
At that moment—
Tan Yun was too worried about the Golden Dragon Divine Lion to notice that an enormous amount of black mist was continuously flowing into the Spirit Beast Pouch hanging at his waist!
The black mist resembled demonic fog.
And every time it entered the pouch, it was inhaled into the body of the Heaven-Slaying Demon Ape through its breathing!
At this moment—
the Heaven-Slaying Demon Ape, which had originally been at Level 4 Adult Growth Stage, expanded from 180 zhang...
to a terrifying 300 zhang!
Its long purple fur had also turned completely dark purple-black!
At the same time, its curled-up massive body began trembling faintly.
Clearly—
it was about to awaken!
Its aura fluctuated wildly between Level 4 Adult Growth Stage and Level 4 Tribulation Crossing Stage!
There was no doubt about it—
once it awakened, it would completely break through into Level 4 Tribulation Crossing Stage!
...
Meanwhile—
Tan Yun pierced through more than 300 li of black fog before bursting out of the mist like a black phantom!
He looked down at the ruined land stretching over 200 li—
and saw the Profound Flame Griffin pinning the Golden Dragon Divine Lion beneath its body!
WOOOM—
A massive surge of golden spiritual energy erupted from Tan Yun's body and began spiraling violently!
He poured all of his power into the Hongmeng Divine Sword—Huo Wu—in his right hand!
Then—
he raised the sword with both hands and activated the Hongmeng Divine Step, diving downward vertically!
WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH!
His speed reached the absolute limit!
Every flicker of movement carried him more than 300 zhang forward!
After flashing 98 times and appearing only a few hundred zhang above the heavily injured Profound Flame Griffin—
Tan Yun swung the divine sword down with all his might!
WOOOM!!
A 150-zhang sword beam tore through the heavens and slashed down toward the Profound Flame Griffin!
Everywhere the sword beam passed—
space itself split apart into gigantic cracks hundreds of zhang long!
"You lowly and ignorant ant..."
"You think you can ambush me? Hahahaha!"
"Ridiculous!"
The Profound Flame Griffin let out a sharp, mocking laugh without even bothering to look up!
In the next instant—
it flapped its massive 300-zhang right wing upward, unleashing an overwhelming surge of demonic power!
BOOOOM!!!
The attack of a Level 4 Tribulation Crossing beast was unimaginably powerful!
The moment its right wing collided with the 150-zhang sword beam—
with an earth-shattering explosion, the sword beam exploded apart instantly!
Then the gigantic wing continued upward and slammed violently toward Tan Yun!
The sneak attack had failed!
Tan Yun hurriedly retreated upward, but it was already too late!
SLASH!!
The edge of the Profound Flame Griffin's right wing struck his left arm directly!
BOOOM!!
Tan Yun's entire left arm exploded into blood and flesh instantly!
"KILL!!"
Tan Yun coughed out a mouthful of blood, his face deathly pale!
But his eyes remained unwavering!
Instead of retreating—
he charged forward!
Gripping the Hongmeng Divine Sword—Huo Wu—tightly in his right hand, he dove along the griffin's right wing—
and slashed viciously toward the base of the wing!
After that—
hundreds of Level 3 Early-Stage Abyssal Azure Centipedes, led by a Level 4 Growth-Stage Abyssal Azure Centipede, began crawling toward Tan Yun!
3 breaths later—
one of the Level 3 Abyssal Azure Centipedes slithered into the Myriad Abyss Illusion Formation and slowly approached Tan Yun, who stood 300 zhang away!
The moment it saw this—
the Golden Dragon Divine Lion, thinking only of protecting its master, immediately prepared to attack!
But Tan Yun quickly raised his hand to stop it and whispered in a low voice,
"Don't attack!"
"We're inside the formation right now. It can't see us."
"But if we kill it, its mother will definitely come after us. When that happens, we're finished for real!"
Hearing that—
the Golden Dragon Divine Lion nodded and quietly lay down beside Tan Yun.
The Abyssal Azure Centipede slowly crawled closer and closer.
Tan Yun's heartbeat thundered nonstop.
His pale face was covered in large beads of sweat!
He... was extremely tense!
Just as the centipede came within 10 zhang of him—
suddenly!
The Level 4 Abyssal Azure Centipede outside the formation let out a low hiss before leading the swarm away toward the corpses of the 500+ Flame Griffins located another 200 li deeper into the abyss!
After that—
the Abyssal Azure Centipede inside the formation, along with the entire swarm outside, all left together...
Tan Yun finally let out a long breath of relief.
He gently patted the Golden Dragon Divine Lion on the head and said softly,
"Big Guy, focus on healing."
"Once you've recovered, we'll continue deeper."
The Golden Dragon Divine Lion nodded before quietly closing its eyes.
At that moment—
Tan Yun sat down cross-legged and released a curtain of spiritual energy around his body.
In the very next instant—
his missing left arm, along with his heavily damaged body, began recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye!
As for the Golden Dragon Divine Lion—
its recovery speed was even more terrifying than Tan Yun's...
Inside the Divine Tomb Abyss—
the sky was forever covered in dense black mist, making it impossible to distinguish day from night...
1 and a half days later—
Huangfu Tingfeng piloted the spirit ship out of the Divine Tomb Abyss before ascending above the sea of clouds and looking down toward the abyss entrance below.
"Senior Sister Mu... how is Tan Yun right now?"
Zhongwu Shiyao asked with reddened eyes and a face full of worry as she looked toward Mu Mengji, whose cheeks still carried traces of tears.
Beside her—
Xue Ziyan clenched her fists tightly, her pretty face flushed as she stared nervously at Mu Mengji.
At that moment—
everyone looked toward Mu Mengji with deep concern for Tan Yun's safety!
Everyone knew—
if Tan Yun and the Golden Dragon Divine Lion had not stayed behind to hold off the Profound Flame Griffin...
none of them would have escaped the Divine Tomb Abyss alive.
They would have become nothing more than corpses among that endless sea of bones!
After using her spiritual sense to inspect the contents of her Cosmos Ring—
Mu Mengji finally sighed in relief and forced out a smile.
"Don't worry, everyone."
"Tan Yun's identity token is still intact... he's still alive."
Hearing that—
everyone finally relaxed slightly.
But their expressions remained grave.
Because even if Tan Yun was still alive, that did not mean he was safe!
Mu Mengji looked at everyone's worried expressions before speaking firmly,
"Don't overthink things."
"I believe in Tan Yun."
"He'll definitely survive this and return safely!"
...
Time passed quickly.
In the blink of an eye, another 10 days went by.
On the spirit ship—
Zhongwu Shiyao's face was pale as she spoke anxiously,
"Senior Sister Mu... why hasn't he come out yet?"
"Tan Yun and Big Guy still haven't returned!"
"I'm really worried about him..."
"I'm worried about Brother-in-Law too..."
Xue Ziyan bit her lip as tears welled up in her eyes.
Mu Mengji took a deep breath before replying softly,
"He once said he planned to go deeper to search for something."
"I think... he probably won't return anytime soon."
...
Meanwhile—
inside the Divine Tomb Abyss—
after recovering for a full 11 days—
Tan Yun's left arm had completely regenerated!
His heavily injured body had also fully recovered!
As for the Golden Dragon Divine Lion—
although it had fully healed as well,
its golden fur had only grown back to half a chi in length.
If it wanted to recover its original 3-zhang-long fur, it would still need several more days!
Tan Yun let out a long sigh before realizing—
20% of the spiritual energy within his Spirit Pool had already been consumed.
To conserve spiritual power—
he dispersed the spiritual barrier and said firmly,
"Big Guy, let's go!"
"We need to continue our journey deeper into the abyss!"
