The Supreme Being Against Heaven
Chapter Summary
However, he still could not escape the spiritual sense lock of another 79 enemies who were all at the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul Realm. If this continues, sooner or later they’ll catch up!” Deep within the ice pool, Tan Yun used his spiritual sense and discovered that the 79 enemies at the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul Realm were only 6 li above his head. Whoosh!” Chen Renqing’s 50 subordinates, all at the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul Realm, held swords in their right ha...
“If they catch up to me, I’m dead for sure! There’s no time to worry about anything else now!”
Tan Yun thought to himself as he circulated spiritual power throughout his body. His figure shot straight down toward the bottom of the ice pool whose depth could not be measured.
He knew very well that if he wanted to escape the pursuit, the only way was to dive all the way to the bottom of the pool. There, a Level 1 Tribulation-Transcending demonic beast resided. Although it was extremely dangerous, it was also a natural barrier that might obstruct his pursuers.
Half a day later, Tan Yun continued diving along the mountain ridge that pierced deep into the ice pool. The depth had already reached 300,000 zhang (about 1,800 km).
During this entire period, he released an aura equivalent to the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul Realm, spreading across the waters within a radius of 11 li.
Numerous Level 1 demonic beasts in the infant stage, growth stage, and mature stage, upon sensing Tan Yun’s aura, fled in panic in all directions.
Thus, his descent was extremely smooth.
Throughout the past half day, Tan Yun had already shaken off 32 enemies who were at Level 9 of the Nascent Soul Realm. However, he still could not escape the spiritual sense lock of another 79 enemies who were all at the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul Realm.
“Damn it! If this continues, sooner or later they’ll catch up!”
Deep within the ice pool, Tan Yun used his spiritual sense and discovered that the 79 enemies at the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul Realm were only 6 li above his head.
His expression became extremely solemn, and for a moment he had no idea how to deal with the situation.
Suddenly—
A powerful sense of crisis instantly engulfed Tan Yun’s heart.
A chilling cold surged from the soles of his feet, spreading through his entire body as if it would devour his heart.
Tan Yun clearly sensed that the powerful aura of a demonic beast was erupting from the mountain behind him, and it had already locked onto him!
From that aura—
It had to be a Level 1 Tribulation-Transcending demonic beast!
And it was staring directly at him.
That beast was hiding inside a rugged cave halfway up the mountain behind him.
Yet Tan Yun did not flee immediately.
It wasn’t that he didn’t want to run—
But that he didn’t dare!
No matter how fast he could move in water, there was no way he could outrun a Level 1 Tribulation-Transcending aquatic beast.
The best option now was to carefully observe the situation. Before knowing what kind of beast the other party was, he didn’t dare move recklessly, otherwise he might provoke the monster hiding within the mountain!
Tan Yun’s heart began beating faster and faster.
He remained completely still like a statue, suspended in the water.
Every 1 second felt as long as 1 year.
Soon, Tan Yun grew even more anxious.
The 79 enemies at the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul Realm appeared above his head, only 500 ft away, and were about to attack!
“Hahaha! Tan Yun, you piece of trash! Why did you stop running? Or did your spiritual power run out and you can’t swim anymore?!”
Chen Renqing laughed viciously as he dived straight toward Tan Yun and shouted loudly.
“Tan Yun, don’t blame me for killing you. Blame yourself for not knowing your place and daring to offend Senior Brother Linghu!”
“Whoosh—!”
10 ft above Chen Renqing’s head,
Peng Zhang circulated his spiritual power to the limit as he shot downward at high speed, intending to kill Tan Yun before Chen Renqing could!
“Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!”
Chen Renqing’s 50 subordinates, all at the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul Realm, held swords in their right hands and rushed down toward Tan Yun!
On the other side,
Song Guang, Li Yi, and another 27 disciples at the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul Realm also followed Peng Zhang downward!
Both sides were determined to be the first to kill Tan Yun!
“No matter whether I fall into the hands of my enemies or get devoured by the beast behind me, I’ll end up dead anyway!”
“Damn it! There’s no choice left—I have to run!”
Just as Tan Yun was about to accelerate and flee for his life—
Suddenly!
BOOM—!
A thunderous explosion erupted from behind him!
Tan Yun turned back to look.
His face turned deathly pale in an instant!
His heart nearly leapt into his throat!
A gigantic python, its body about 10 ft thick and more than 100 ft long, covered in black scales, smashed a massive boulder into pieces before bursting out of a cave in the mountain!
It swam fiercely over Tan Yun’s head, then shot upward at incredible speed toward Chen Renqing, who was above in the water!
“A Level 1 Tribulation-Transcending demonic beast… Thunderscale Python!”
Tan Yun’s back instantly turned cold.
The Thunderscale Python was an extremely powerful Level 1 aquatic demonic beast!
It was ferocious by nature, incredibly fast, and every scale on its body could release terrifying lightning power!
Tan Yun secretly felt relieved that he had not fled earlier. Otherwise, the beast would have caught up to him and devoured him before he could even escape 1,000 ft!
Taking advantage of the moment when the Thunderscale Python swung its enormous body and charged toward the enemies, Tan Yun suppressed the panic in his heart and dived madly toward the bottom of the pool.
Before long, his figure disappeared into the dark waters…
When Chen Renqing saw the ferocious Thunderscale Python charging toward them, he immediately retreated upward. After regrouping with his 50 subordinates, he shouted loudly,
“Everyone, don’t panic! Attack it together!”
“Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!”
Chen Renqing and his 51 companions gathered together and unleashed hundreds and thousands of sword energies in the water!
The sword lights illuminated the surrounding waters within a range of several thousand ft, then continuously blasted toward the body of the Thunderscale Python!
“Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!”
Each strand of sword energy slammed into its body with heavy explosive sounds!
Its black scales shattered instantly, and bright red blood gushed out!
“Hiss—!”
The Thunderscale Python twisted its enormous body, its crimson tongue flicking out while its blue eyes shone with furious rage!
“Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!”
Suddenly—
Brilliant lightning as thick as an arm burst out from every scale across its body!
Like ten thousand streaks of light, the lightning tore through the water and swallowed all 51 people in the blink of an eye!
“Ahhh! No!”
“Senior Brother Chen, save me!”
“Help!”
After being struck by the lightning, 8 disciples convulsed violently, completely losing the ability to move!
Terrified screams echoed out as they were devoured alive by the Thunderscale Python!
“You beast—die!”
Chen Renqing’s figure flashed through the water before appearing beneath the belly of the Thunderscale Python.
Amid the gushing blood, he stabbed his sword deep into its abdomen and shouted,
“Quick! Attack its belly and eyes!”
“Bang! Bang!”
As the Thunderscale Python writhed in pain, 2 disciples rushed forward and thrust their swords toward its eyes!
However—
It suddenly twisted its body violently!
Its massive tail, covered with scales, lashed out with lightning-like speed!
In a single instant—
The 2 disciples instantly exploded into 2 clouds of blood, their bodies shattered into fragments that scattered throughout the water!
“Stab! Stab!”
2 other disciples, who were more cunning, seized the opportunity and moved quickly.
One dived downward, while the other shot upward above the head of the Thunderscale Python!
1 sword pierced straight through its skull!
Another sword stabbed through its mouth, penetrating deep past the lower jaw!
The Thunderscale Python let out a series of sharp, miserable shrieks as it struggled to swim toward the bottom of the pool.
However, the other disciples rushed in!
Each sword continuously slashed into its belly!
Before long—
The massive body of the Thunderscale Python, with hot blood gushing out, dyed the surrounding waters a deep crimson before finally sinking motionlessly to the bottom of the pool.
“Crack!”
A crisp splitting sound rang out.
Chen Renqing used his sword to split open the head of the Thunderscale Python, then took out a pitch-black beast core the size of a fist from its skull and stored it inside his Qiankun Ring.
“Continue chasing Tan Yun!”
Chen Renqing ordered with a dark expression.
Losing 10 subordinates who were all at the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul Realm was a heavy loss for him!
“Yes, Senior Brother Chen!”
The remaining 40 disciples immediately followed Chen Renqing and swam rapidly toward the bottom of the pool.
“What a pity… only 10 people died.”
Peng Zhang sneered coldly before leading Song Guang, Li Yi, and another 27 disciples as they dived toward the bottom of the pool as well…
“Hm?”
Tan Yun, who had just temporarily escaped the pursuit, was still about 1,000 ft away from the icy bottom of the pool.
His star-like eyes suddenly revealed a trace of joy.
He discovered that—
The closer he got to the bottom of the pool,
the richer the spiritual energy in the water became!
