The Supreme Being Against Heaven
Chapter Summary
“If I haven’t killed you yet, how could I possibly die first?” The moment he finished speaking, he roared: “Old Ape, kill him!” “BOOM—!” The Heaven-Slaughtering Demonic Ape instantly shot into the air. “Tan Yun… don’t kill me… I beg you!” The Five Souls Daoist’s soul had only just escaped his destroyed body when the Heaven-Slaughtering Demonic Ape instantly pinched it between 2 fingers!

Upon hearing the other party call his name, the Five Souls Daoist suddenly snapped his tightly shut eyes open. He stared at the young man before him in utter disbelief, his expression freezing for a moment.
“You little bastard… you’re still alive?!”
Tan Yun let out a cold laugh. “If I haven’t killed you yet, how could I possibly die first?”
The moment he finished speaking, he roared:
“Old Ape, kill him!”
“BOOM—!”
The Heaven-Slaughtering Demonic Ape instantly shot into the air. In the blink of an eye, its massive body expanded to 100 zhang tall. A giant lightning-covered palm slammed downward toward the terrified Five Souls Daoist, who no longer had any chance to escape!
“No—!!”
“BOOOOM—CRASH!!”
Amid a despair-filled scream, the Five Souls Daoist, a 1st-Level Divine Soul Realm expert, was smashed into a cloud of blood with a single strike. The terrifying shockwave caused the entire 500-zhang palace to tremble violently as if it were about to collapse!
“Tan Yun… don’t kill me… I beg you!”
The Five Souls Daoist’s soul had only just escaped his destroyed body when the Heaven-Slaughtering Demonic Ape instantly pinched it between 2 fingers!
Tan Yun sneered, his eyes overflowing with killing intent.
“If I don’t kill you, should I just sit around and wait for you to send people after me? Or wait for an old monster like you to personally make your move?”
His voice grew colder and more furious with every word.
“I’ll let you die knowing the truth… Zi Yan’s cultivation technique was given to her by me!”
“But you filthy old beast actually injured her just to steal that technique! You’re worse than an animal!”
“Old Ape, kill him!”
However, just as Tan Yun finished speaking, an enraged shout suddenly thundered from outside the palace.
“You damned beast ape! Release Elder 26 immediately!”
At that moment, a hunchbacked old man over 80 years old appeared within the Immortal Valley. Violent killing intent erupted from his body, along with the overwhelming pressure of a 5th-Level Divine Soul Realm expert that spread outward like a raging ocean!
He stared at the Heaven-Slaughtering Demonic Ape inside the palace and roared:
“You beast! You’re courting death!”
This old man was Kong Gaoxiang, Elder 25. He was extremely close to Wu Qingquan. Originally, he had come tonight merely to speak with him, but he never expected to witness the demonic ape attempting to kill Wu Qingquan!
The moment he heard that voice, the Five Souls Daoist’s soul felt as though it had grabbed onto its final lifeline and immediately screamed:
“Brother Kong, save me!”
“Brother Wu, do not fear! I’m here!”
The old man’s voice shook the heavens. At the same time, a flying sword appeared in Kong Gaoxiang’s hand. He rapidly formed seals, and his entire body transformed into a blurry shadow as he charged into the palace in an instant, thrusting his sword from afar without hesitation!
“SWISH—!”
In that instant, a dazzling 300-zhang sword beam tore through the air. Within it contained razor-sharp Metal elemental power and blazing crimson flames as it violently pierced toward Tan Yun and the Heaven-Slaughtering Demonic Ape!
Everywhere the sword beam passed, space itself split apart into countless cracks, as though the sky were collapsing. The scene was utterly horrifying!
Tan Yun didn’t even have time to dodge. His expression changed drastically as he shouted:
“Old Ape, finish him now! Kill them all!”
“As you command, Master!”
The Heaven-Slaughtering Demonic Ape instantly crushed the Five Souls Daoist’s soul amid the latter’s hysterical screams!
“BANG!”
At the same moment, facing the enormous sword beam descending from the heavens, Tan Yun had absolutely no power to resist. Merely the pressure and shockwave generated before the sword even arrived caused him to cough up a mouthful of blood. His body was blasted backward like a cannonball, violently crashing into the Heaven-Slaughtering Demonic Ape!
“Master, do not worry! As long as I still stand, no one can kill you!”
Using its left hand, the Heaven-Slaughtering Demonic Ape caught Tan Yun with a motion resembling “Scooping the Moon from the Ocean.” Then it flipped its right palm, causing the surrounding space to tremble like raging tidal waves before grabbing a gigantic 100-zhang staff and smashing it fiercely toward the incoming sword beam!
“BOOOOM—!!”
A deafening explosion shook the heavens and earth as the ground trembled violently!
Before Kong Gaoxiang’s horrified eyes, his 300-zhang sword beam shattered like fragile porcelain!
“This demonic ape is actually this powerful?!”
Kong Gaoxiang’s face turned deathly pale. He immediately retreated in panic, fleeing from the palace as though running for his life!
Fear completely filled his heart!
That sword strike of his could have instantly killed an ordinary 5th-Level Soul Refining Realm cultivator or even a 4th-Rank Soul Beast with a single blow!
Yet this demonic ape had destroyed it with ease!
Only now did he finally realize that the Heaven-Slaughtering Demonic Ape was far stronger than him!
At this moment, there was only 1 option left...
Run!
After flying more than 1,000 zhang into the sky, Kong Gaoxiang roared at the top of his lungs, his voice echoing for countless li.
“I am Elder 25! Help! There’s a demon bea—”
But his desperate shout abruptly stopped!
Because the Heaven-Slaughtering Demonic Ape, which had burst out from the palace, suddenly swung its gigantic staff upward with terrifying force!
“BANG!”
Kong Gaoxiang’s body exploded apart in midair instantly!
“Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!”
As his 5 Divine Souls emerged from the shattered remains of his corpse, the Heaven-Slaughtering Demonic Ape leaped into the void with horrifying power before sweeping out its right palm!
An overwhelming wave of demonic energy surged forth like a raging flood, engulfing all 5 Divine Souls and crushing them into nothingness in the blink of an eye!
“SWOOSH!”
The Heaven-Slaughtering Demonic Ape waved its hand through the air. The black giant staff floating in the sky instantly expanded to 300 zhang before transforming into a streak of black light and flying back into its body!
Immediately afterward, the ape’s body expanded to nearly 1,000 meters tall. Gripping the giant staff tightly, it spun through the air before diving straight toward the Five Souls Immortal Palace!
“CRAAASH—!!”
The Five Souls Immortal Palace collapsed instantly, while massive clouds of dust exploded outward and engulfed the entire area!
“Primordial Flame!”
Even though his internal organs felt as though they were being torn apart, Tan Yun still flicked his right hand without hesitation!
In an instant, a 12-zhang-tall purple Primordial Flame shot forth like lightning, sweeping across the entire Immortal Valley and burning away every trace of aura left behind by him and the Heaven-Slaughtering Demonic Ape!
“Whoosh!”
Tan Yun waved his hand once more. Kong Gaoxiang’s Cosmos Ring, which had fallen to the ground after his death, instantly flew into Tan Yun’s own Cosmos Ring.
At the same time, another Cosmos Ring flew out from the ruins of the Five Souls Immortal Palace and entered Tan Yun’s storage ring as well.
Standing atop the Heaven-Slaughtering Demonic Ape’s left palm, Tan Yun immediately put on the “Turtle Breath Frost Veil” before speaking in a deep voice:
“Old Ape, leave the Five Souls Secret Realm immediately! Remember this—do not leave behind even the slightest trace!”
He was worried that Kong Gaoxiang’s cry for help before his death would attract a large number of Five Souls experts, which was why he immediately ordered the Heaven-Slaughtering Demonic Ape to retreat!
Even if all the elders of the Immortal Sect joined forces to surround him, Tan Yun was still confident that, with the Heaven-Slaughtering Demonic Ape by his side, they could escape safely!
But what truly worried him was this:
Neither he nor the Heaven-Slaughtering Demonic Ape could afford to have their identities exposed!
Otherwise, once this matter reached the Five Souls lineage within the Sacred Sect, the consequences would become truly disastrous!
After receiving the order, the Heaven-Slaughtering Demonic Ape unleashed monstrous demonic power that shook the skies and sped toward the exit of the secret realm, which lay over 100,000 li away, at full speed!
Its speed was so terrifying that the Soul Refining Realm disciples it passed by merely thought it was a sudden gust of wind!
Not long afterward, an elder who had heard Kong Gaoxiang’s desperate cry for help hurried to the Five Souls Immortal Valley.
The moment he saw the shattered identity token lying beside the remains of the Five Souls Daoist within the ruins, his expression changed drastically.
“The token is broken... he’s dead!”
“Elder 26 has been killed!”
But in the very next moment, his eyes widened in terror!
Because not far away, he also saw the shattered identity token of Elder 25!
“Damn it! Who dares to kill 2 elders of our lineage?!”
The old man roared in both fury and fear before immediately rushing through the night toward the Great Elder of the Five Souls lineage!
Inside a magnificent and luxurious palace, Ding Shouyu, the Five Souls Daoist, urgently summoned all 24 elders in the middle of the night!
He was so enraged that he nearly went mad, roaring furiously:
“I am furious! Furious to the point of insanity!”
“Just 2 hours ago, 2 high-ranking elders of our lineage within the Immortal Sect were murdered!”
“I’ll speak plainly! If any of you are responsible, step forward and confess right now!”
“Otherwise, once I uncover the culprit, I’ll make them beg for death!”
The elders hurriedly cupped their fists and spoke in unison:
“Great Elder, please calm your anger! We swear to the heavens that this matter has nothing to do with us!”
Hearing this, the Five Souls Daoist clenched his teeth tightly.
“Good! I will believe you for now!”
“From this moment onward, investigate through every possible means!”
“No matter what, you must find the one who killed Wu Qingquan and Kong Gaoxiang!”
“Otherwise, if the other 8 lineages learn that someone infiltrated our lineage’s Artifact Refining Secret Realm, killed 2 elders, and yet we don’t even know who the murderer is…”
“Our Five Souls lineage will become the eternal laughingstock of the Huangfu Sacred Sect!”
