The Supreme Being Against Heaven
Chapter Summary
Tan Yun turned to look at the 3 of them with icy eyes and said in a heavy voice: “As long as I’m still alive, one day I’ll make you understand what it means to want to die but can’t, and want to live but can’t!” The moment he finished speaking— he jumped straight into the bottomless abyss of the Frozen Well of the Sinister Valley! Besides, if we don’t see Tan Yun’s corpse, it means we haven’t completed Senior Brother Murong’s mission.” He glanced downward and continued: “We’ll recover our streng...
However, what happened next was completely beyond the expectations of Peng Zhang and the other 2!
Tan Yun turned to look at the 3 of them with icy eyes and said in a heavy voice:
“As long as I’m still alive, one day I’ll make you understand what it means to want to die but can’t, and want to live but can’t!”
The moment he finished speaking—
he jumped straight into the bottomless abyss of the Frozen Well of the Sinister Valley!
“Senior Brother Peng! That kid actually jumped!”
Song Guang exclaimed loudly when he ran to the edge of the cliff.
When he looked down, he saw Tan Yun diving headfirst toward the glimmering icy water below.
Li Yi turned to look at the Snowfield Demon Ape, which was still glaring fiercely in their direction, before asking helplessly:
“Senior Brother Peng, what should we do now?”
Peng Zhang frowned and thought for a moment before saying:
“Even if we return to the sect, we still need to recover our strength first. Besides, if we don’t see Tan Yun’s corpse, it means we haven’t completed Senior Brother Murong’s mission.”
He glanced downward and continued:
“We’ll recover our strength here while keeping watch on the situation below. Don’t let Tan Yun escape!”
The moment Peng Zhang finished speaking,
his eyes suddenly narrowed.
Because he saw that—
Tan Yun had surfaced from the water!
Then he quickly climbed onto a floating sheet of ice in the middle of the Frozen Well and sat down cross-legged!
Tan Yun rapidly formed hand seals and shouted in his mind:
“Primordial Qi Condensation Art!”
While keeping his eyes vigilantly fixed on the strangely silent water surface,
the dense heaven and earth spiritual energy above the Frozen Well began surging wildly into the center of his forehead!
Peng Zhang, standing on the cliff, saw this clearly.
His eyes filled with unconcealable shock.
“This speed of absorbing spiritual energy… it’s too terrifying! It’s even faster than my breathing technique!”
He could clearly sense that
the spiritual energy above the cliff
was gathering like mist in the air before rushing downward rapidly!
Seeing the equally shocked expressions on Li Yi and Song Guang,
Peng Zhang immediately said decisively:
“We absolutely can’t let him recover his strength! Otherwise it will be difficult to capture him again!”
“You two come down with me and force him into the Frozen Well!”
As soon as he finished speaking,
Peng Zhang jumped down from the cliff.
Song Guang and Li Yi quickly followed behind!
The 3 of them held swords in their right hands, spreading their arms to steady themselves amid the rushing wind as they fell from the sky.
When they were 200 chi away from Tan Yun,
the 3 of them simultaneously swung their right arms.
In an instant—
dozens of sword energies shot downward toward Tan Yun from above!
At that moment,
Tan Yun, whose absorption speed of spiritual energy had increased 10 times,
had only managed to restore 1% of the spiritual power in his spiritual pool.
He barely forced himself to use the Primordial Divine Step to evade the descending sword energies.
Then he dived headfirst into the depths of the Frozen Well!
The moment his body sank into the water,
Tan Yun trembled violently.
“Cold… so cold!”
His body sank deeper and deeper into the freezing icy water.
Using the tiny amount of spiritual power remaining in his spiritual pool,
he cast a low-level spell—
the Turtle Breathing Technique.
After that, his spiritual power was completely exhausted.
He could only rely on his spiritual sense to check whether the 3 people above were still chasing after him.
The deeper Tan Yun sank into the Frozen Well,
the lower the temperature became.
The light gradually faded,
and visibility kept decreasing.
At this moment…
He could only vaguely see things within about 100 chi around him.
To survive,
Tan Yun could only grit his teeth, endure the cold and the unknown dangers,
and swim downward toward the bottom of the well with all his strength.
After 30 minutes passed,
he had already descended more than 6,000 chi!
If it weren’t for his exceptionally strong body,
he would have either been frozen to death by the extreme cold or crushed to death by the enormous water pressure!
Time passed quickly.
Another 1 hour later,
Tan Yun sank even deeper into the water.
The immense pressure caused all the bones in his body to creak loudly!
His body was so cold he was almost losing consciousness,
and he knew very well that
if he went any deeper, he would definitely be crushed to death by the water pressure!
But what frightened him even more was this—
while he had been descending earlier,
he occasionally saw ugly aquatic demon beasts at the 1st level of the Nascent Soul stage swimming around.
However now,
after he had descended several thousand more chi,
the darkness before his eyes had become terrifyingly absolute.
He was almost no different from a blind man!
“Rustle… rustle…”
The faint sound of water movement came from somewhere far away.
Tan Yun was so startled that he immediately held his breath, his body floating motionless in the well like a stone statue.
After only a few breaths passed,
the hair all over Tan Yun’s body stood on end!
He could clearly sense that
a massive creature was rapidly swimming past above his head!
Tan Yun tried with all his strength to suppress the fear in his heart.
Only after the unknown monster had swum far away
did his heart begin pounding violently!
At this moment,
Tan Yun had an unprecedented desire to restore his strength!
Because only after recovering his power
could he clearly see the situation in the surrounding waters!
Tan Yun quickly formed hand seals in front of his chest and said in his mind:
“Primordial Qi Condensation Art!”
Suddenly—
within the pitch-black water of the well,
the faint spiritual energy began rapidly gathering toward Tan Yun,
transforming into streams of spiritual power that flowed into the center of his forehead…
At the same time,
on the icy surface of the Frozen Well,
Peng Zhang and the other 2 disciples were sitting cross-legged, absorbing spiritual energy to restore their strength.
Song Guang looked around nervously, his teeth chattering.
“Senior Brother Peng… how much longer are we going to stay here? I-I’m a little scared…”
Li Yi also nodded vigorously.
“That’s right, Senior Brother Peng. This place is too dangerous. If a 1st-level Tribulation-Crossing demon beast comes out of the water, we’ll all die!”
He continued with a trembling voice:
“Senior Brother Peng, the temperature of this Frozen Well is extremely low. If Tan Yun doesn’t have spiritual power protecting him, he couldn’t survive more than 1 ke. It’s already been 1 hour and 30 minutes now. He must have died long ago. Let’s leave this place quickly!”
Peng Zhang looked at the 2 of them irritably and scolded harshly:
“You think I don’t know what you know? Have you two been scared out of your wits?!”
He pointed around them.
“This Frozen Well is surrounded by steep cliffs. If we don’t recover our strength first, how are we supposed to climb back up?!”
Song Guang and Li Yi hurriedly nodded repeatedly.
“Senior Brother Peng is right. You are truly calm and decisive in the face of danger.”
The 2 of them quickly tried to flatter him.
Peng Zhang waved his hand impatiently.
“That’s enough. Stop flattering me. Hurry up and recover your strength so we can leave this cursed place—”
But before he could finish speaking,
his eyes suddenly fixed on the surface of the water.
His expression instantly turned into shock and fear!
“That bastard Tan Yun… he’s still not dead!”
“How is that possible?!”
On the surface of the water,
streaks of milky-white spiritual energy could be seen slowly flowing downward into the Frozen Well.
Everyone knew that
this phenomenon—spiritual energy flowing into the water—
could only occur when a cultivator was hidden beneath the water!
Before aquatic demon beasts could transform into human form,
they could only absorb spiritual energy within the water.
But human cultivators
could absorb both the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and the spiritual energy within water!
Song Guang and Li Yi’s faces turned pale.
“Senior Brother Peng… what should we do now?”
Peng Zhang clenched his teeth tightly.
“What else can we do! The mission given by Senior Brother Murong must be completed!”
“If we go back empty-handed, Senior Brother Murong will never let us off!”
He said firmly,
“We’ll cultivate here while keeping watch!”
“I refuse to believe he won’t come up!”
Hearing this,
Song Guang and Li Yi secretly sighed in relief.
As long as they didn’t have to go down into the Frozen Well to chase Tan Yun, that was good enough!
After 2 hours passed,
night gradually descended.
Deep within the Frozen Well,
Tan Yun was still floating motionlessly in the water,
like a stone statue.
After absorbing spiritual energy for 2 hours,
his strength had fully recovered to its peak.
He did not create a spiritual energy barrier around his body to resist the water pressure and cold.
Instead, he circulated spiritual power inside his body
to resist the freezing temperature.
Because he knew very well that
if he created a spiritual energy barrier,
it would emit a faint golden glow,
which might attract powerful demon beasts!
In order to avoid being discovered,
he did not dare use his spiritual sense to scan the surrounding waters within a radius of 11 li.
However,
now that his strength had recovered,
he could clearly see things in the water ahead within about 100 chi.
Tan Yun remained motionless.
Before entering secluded cultivation,
he decided to take things one step at a time depending on the situation.
If a demon beast approached,
he would find a way to escape then.
At the same time,
a thought was burning intensely in his mind.
He desperately wanted to raise his cultivation level!
Then he would burst out of the Frozen Well
and kill Peng Zhang and the other 2 without leaving a single one alive!
