The Supreme Being Against Heaven
Chapter Summary
Half a day later— the Golden Dragon Divine Lion had carried Tan Yun more than 1,000,000 li deeper into the Divine Tomb Abyss. A heavy pressure slowly began weighing down on his heart… Muttering with a grave expression, he said, “An area spanning over 72,500,000 li…” “yet not a single living being exists…” “Could this be the result of some kind of curse?” “Or perhaps the lingering aura of an unimaginably powerful beast?” “This is far too strange…” Tan Yun knitted his brows tightly before speaking...

Tan Yun leaped onto the back of the Golden Dragon Divine Lion.
He then stored the Myriad Abyss Illusion Formation back into his Cosmos Ring before releasing his spiritual sense to scan the surroundings, ordering the Golden Dragon Divine Lion to continue deeper into the Divine Tomb Abyss!
The Golden Dragon Divine Lion streaked through the darkness like a gigantic bolt of golden lightning!
As it flew, it fully unleashed the aura of a Level 3 Tribulation Crossing Beast.
As a result, no demonic beast dared to block its path!
Half a day later—
the Golden Dragon Divine Lion had carried Tan Yun more than 1,000,000 li deeper into the Divine Tomb Abyss.
Suddenly—
the invisible destructive force surrounding them became drastically more violent!
Tan Yun's skin split apart once again, blood covering his entire body!
But what terrified him even more—
was the unnatural silence around them!
There was not even the shadow of a living creature!
Tan Yun muttered in a low voice, his heart pounding violently,
"This place is way too quiet..."
"Is this the territory of some high-level demonic beast?"
"Or is there another reason...?"
Despite his doubts—
over the next 10 days, the Golden Dragon Divine Lion continued carrying Tan Yun another 6,000,000 li deeper into the abyss!
Yet—
they still did not encounter a single living creature!
At that moment—
under the horrifying destructive force, Tan Yun's skin had split open so badly that white bones could be seen beneath the flesh!
In the end, he had no choice but to use spiritual energy to shield his body while healing himself as they continued moving deeper...
1 month later—
when the Golden Dragon Divine Lion carried the fully recovered Tan Yun more than 21,000,000 li into the endless darkness—
the surroundings were still completely devoid of life!
That terrifying silence...
was enough to make anyone shudder in fear!
Tan Yun gradually became restless.
Because he knew—
the Eternal Land Trial Region was only 10,000,000 li wide.
But now—
they had already traveled 21,000,000 li deep!
That meant...
they had long since passed beyond the boundaries of the "trial region" through the Divine Tomb Abyss!
At that moment—
only 10% of the spiritual energy in Tan Yun's Spirit Pool remained!
If this continued—
his spiritual energy would be completely exhausted in at most another 5 days!
Even so—
Tan Yun remained calm.
Because inside his storage ring, he still possessed more than 300,000 Supreme Spirit Stones!
Some were his original wealth.
But most of them—
had been obtained after killing disciples from the Eternal Immortal Sect and the Divine Spirit Immortal Palace!
Tan Yun frowned tightly.
"This is too strange..."
"The deeper we go, the fewer demonic beasts there are?"
But after coming this far—
there was no turning back!
An arrow released from the bow could never return!
Thus, he continued ordering the Golden Dragon Divine Lion to fly deeper into the endless dark abyss...
5 days later—
when the spiritual energy in his Spirit Pool was nearly exhausted—
Tan Yun flicked his right hand, and a Supreme Spirit Stone instantly appeared in his palm!
He gripped it tightly and began absorbing the pure spiritual energy within!
Everyone knew—
Low-, Mid-, and High-Grade Spirit Stones all contained impure spiritual energy mixed with impurities, making them unsuitable for direct absorption by cultivators.
But Supreme Spirit Stones were different!
They contained enormous amounts of pure and concentrated spiritual energy that could be directly used for cultivation!
However—
1 Supreme Spirit Stone was worth 1,000,000 Low-Grade Spirit Stones!
Even wealthy cultivators would never waste them on direct cultivation!
Because no matter how rich someone was—
their resources would never truly be endless!
Tan Yun clenched his teeth, his expression resolute.
"So what if there are no demonic beasts?"
"Big Guy, keep going!"
ROOOAR!
After letting out a thunderous roar—
the Golden Dragon Divine Lion once again charged through the dark abyss at full speed!
500,000 li per day!
Time inside the Divine Tomb Abyss passed rapidly.
In the blink of an eye—
another 2 months passed!
At this point—
the Golden Dragon Divine Lion had carried Tan Yun a total of 51,000,000 li into the abyss!
But what caused Tan Yun's heart to sink was—
throughout the last 30,000,000 li of travel...
they still had not encountered a single demonic beast!
The entire abyss remained deathly silent!
There were no roars...
No wind...
Only "death" and "desolation" blanketed everything!
Tan Yun spoke with a grave expression,
"Big Guy... something is wrong."
"When we first entered only 1,000,000 li deep, Level 2 and Level 3 demonic beasts were everywhere like stray dogs!"
"We even killed a Level 4 beast!"
"But after passing the 1,000,000-li mark..."
"we traveled another 50,000,000 li deeper!"
"And yet we haven't seen even a single demonic beast!"
Roooar...
The Golden Dragon Divine Lion looked around in confusion before slowly shaking its massive head.
Tan Yun took a deep breath.
According to his calculations—
the trial would end in another 2 months.
And now, even if they wanted to leave the Divine Tomb Abyss...
it was impossible!
One had to understand—
with the Golden Dragon Divine Lion's speed,
even after flying nonstop for 2 full months, it could only cover around 30,000,000 li!
But now—
Tan Yun had already ventured 51,000,000 li deep into the abyss!
Of course—
Now that Tan Yun had come this far, he had already made up his mind.
No matter what happened, he would find the Primordial Divine Sword he once wielded in his past life!
As for whether the Eternal Land Trial would end or not—
he had long since thrown that concern out of his mind.
Even if he failed to leave the Divine Burial Abyss before the time limit…
he would rather die here than turn back halfway!
“Giving up halfway” had never existed in his creed!
Moreover—
there was an extremely high chance that his Primordial Divine Sword was hidden somewhere within this abyss!
As for Mu Mengji, Zhong Wu Shiyao, and the others…
although they would certainly worry if he failed to return after 2 months—
Tan Yun believed that, as long as his identity token remained intact in Mu Mengji’s possession, she would know he was still alive.
Because of that, he was not overly worried that they would fall into complete despair.
Tan Yun frowned deeply.
“Damn it… what exactly is going on here?”
“Forget it!”
“Big Guy, keep flying!”
Time flowed rapidly—
and in the blink of an eye, another 1 and a half months passed.
At this point—
Tan Yun had already ventured 73,500,000 li deep into the Divine Burial Abyss!
Yet despite all that distance—
he still had not encountered a single living creature!
A heavy pressure slowly began weighing down on his heart…
Muttering with a grave expression, he said,
“An area spanning over 72,500,000 li…”
“yet not a single living being exists…”
“Could this be the result of some kind of curse?”
“Or perhaps the lingering aura of an unimaginably powerful beast?”
“This is far too strange…”
Tan Yun knitted his brows tightly before speaking decisively,
“Big Guy, keep going!”
“I refuse to believe that, with your speed, we can’t reach the deepest part of this abyss!”
At the same time—
near the entrance of the Divine Burial Abyss—
Mu Mengji, Zhong Wu Shiyao, Xue Ziyan, Huangfu Tingfeng, and the others were drowning in anxiety!
Only 5 days remained before the Eternal Land Trial would officially end.
Yet Tan Yun still had not emerged from the abyss!
Mu Mengji looked at everyone before speaking softly,
“Everyone… don’t panic too much.”
“Tan Yun’s identity token is still intact. That means he’s still alive.”
“Maybe… he’s already on his way back…”
Although she said those words—
everyone could clearly see the sweat covering her forehead.
It was obvious just how terrified and unsettled she truly was inside…
…
Time passed amid fear, worry, and desperate anticipation…
5 days later.
At noon.
Now—
only 3 hours remained before the “Space-Time Tunnel” atop the Space-Time Immortal Mountain, located 100,000 li to the northwest, would open!
Mu Mengji’s delicate body trembled as she stared blankly at the abyss entrance shrouded in endless black mist.
Suddenly—
her legs gave out beneath her.
Tears streamed down her face until her vision blurred completely.
“Tan Yun…”
“Please… come out already…”
“I’m begging you…”
“The Space-Time Tunnel is about to open…”
“Please… come back…”
Mu Mengji’s hopeless sobbing made everyone’s hearts ache so badly they could barely breathe!
Not far away—
tears streamed down Zhong Wu Shiyao’s cheeks.
She dropped to her knees before heaven and earth, kowtowing frantically!
“Heavens!”
“Please open your eyes!”
“Please let Tan Yun return safely!”
“I beg you!”
Xue Ziyan was already crying so hard she could barely remain standing…
Gongsun Ruoxi, Huangfu Tingfeng, and disciples from every faction were all shedding tears in grief.
Everyone knew—
once the Space-Time Tunnel closed…
they would never be able to return to the Eternal Immortal Sect again!
And if they could not return—
that meant only 1 thing:
Death!
Before the trial began—
the Eternal Immortal Sect Master, Ruyan Wuji, had personally warned them—
the moment the Space-Time Tunnel closed,
the massive formation covering the 10,000,000-li trial grounds would collapse instantly!
When that happened—
countless Level 3, Level 4, and even Level 5 demonic beasts would flood out!
A monstrous beast tide would sweep across the entire trial ground and erase everything in its path!
And in such a situation…
would Tan Yun still have any chance of surviving?
To everyone present—
that possibility was almost nonexistent.
