The Supreme Being Against Heaven
Chapter Summary
After discovering that there were only a few hundred demonic beasts at the infant stage and only a few dozens mature demonic beasts, he finally let out a sigh of relief before strolling along the bottom of the pool to search for the source of this dense spiritual energy. After Tan Yun had absorbed half of the spiritual liquid, he finally sensed the barrier of Level 9 of the Nascent Soul Realm and began charging toward that level! “The Primordial King Body has finally broken through to Level 1 Pe...
“Could it be that some kind of precious treasure is hidden at the bottom of the pool?”
Tan Yun suppressed the excitement in his heart with all his might. Afraid of awakening a terrifying beast that might be hiding at the bottom, he swam downward cautiously, his expression furtive like a thief searching for treasure.
“Sigh… that was close.”
After safely reaching the bottom of the pool, Tan Yun began scanning the surroundings.
Behind him was the base of a gigantic snow mountain embedded into the bottom of the pool, while to the left and right stretched a vast expanse of water as far as the eye could see.
The bottom of the pool was covered with various colorful aquatic plants, beautiful like a painting, making the surrounding scenery look extremely magnificent.
Tan Yun slowly released his spiritual sense, covering the waters to the left and right within a radius of 11 li.
After discovering that there were only a few hundred demonic beasts at the infant stage and only a few dozens mature demonic beasts, he finally let out a sigh of relief before strolling along the bottom of the pool to search for the source of this dense spiritual energy.
After searching for a while,
Tan Yun stopped on a small hill that suddenly protruded from the bottom of the pool.
This hill was filled with strangely shaped rocks, and before his eyes appeared a massive crack several hundred ft long and about 0.5 ft wide.
Spiritual energy as dense as fog surged out from the seemingly endless crack.
The sight was both beautiful and eerie at the same time, as if a terrifying monster might be hiding inside.
“Should I go down and take a look…”
Tan Yun was hesitating.
Suddenly—
“Boom!”
A loud explosion erupted from behind him, instantly interrupting his thoughts.
Startled, Tan Yun quickly turned around to look.
He discovered that about 200 ft away, a gigantic boulder the size of a house had just rolled down from the mountainside and slammed into the bottom of the pool.
Tan Yun looked up toward the mountainside.
Suddenly—
His pupils shrank violently!
He saw a faint gigantic shadow.
That figure was about 0.5 zhang thick and several hundred zhang long. Countless densely packed legs slowly moved like sickles harvesting grass as it crawled down the mountainside toward the bottom of the pool!
“A Level 1 Tribulation-Transcending Demonic Beast King… Bloodsickle Centipede!”
Tan Yun’s heart jolted violently.
At that moment,
Many Level 1 demonic beasts in both the growth stage and mature stage within the pool also sensed the arrival of the Bloodsickle Centipede.
In the blink of an eye—
They all fled in panic!
It seemed that the Bloodsickle Centipede was the emperor of this pool’s bottom.
As if all the beasts knew it was coming, every single one of them fled and cleared the way.
Yet it continued crawling slowly down the mountain before heading directly toward the rugged rocky hill where Tan Yun was standing.
Tan Yun was so shocked he nearly stopped breathing.
To avoid being discovered by the Bloodsickle Centipede, he quickly crouched down and hid his body inside the massive crack.
Then he only exposed half of his head, using aquatic plants as cover while secretly observing every movement of the Bloodsickle Centipede.
“Damn it… the crack beneath my feet… could this be its nest?”
Every hair on Tan Yun’s body stood on end, and every pore felt like it was about to explode.
When he saw the Bloodsickle Centipede heading straight toward this place, a chill ran down his spine.
Now it was already too late to escape!
The Bloodsickle Centipede was heading directly toward the crack where Tan Yun was hiding.
Tan Yun quickly lowered his head and swam deeper into the crack, pressing his body tightly against one side of the rock wall.
Suddenly—
Tan Yun froze.
His gaze stared fixedly at the strange patterns covering the rock wall within a radius of about 10 zhang.
His expression instantly turned extremely excited.
“A Spirit Spring Sealing Formation!”
“Heaven is truly helping me!”
“No wonder… spiritual energy is surging out of this massive crack. So inside, a Spirit Spring has been sealed!”
“The Snow Valley is only a small secret realm for outer disciples to train in. It must have been the elders of the sect who set up this sealing formation to prevent the Spirit Spring from being destroyed!”
Thinking of this,
Tan Yun became even more excited!
If he could break the seal and cultivate inside the Spirit Spring,
in just 20 days…
That alone would be enough for him to break through into Level 9 of the Nascent Soul Realm!
The Dao of formations is divided into the following ranks:
Formation Disciple → Formation Master → Grand Formation Master → Formation Lord → Formation Saint → Formation God → Formation Immortal
And within each rank, there are further subdivisions:
Elementary / Intermediate / Advanced / Sacred
Tan Yun immediately recognized that
the sealing formation before him had been created by an Advanced Formation Master.
Under the seal of this formation,
Outer disciples had absolutely no way of destroying it.
Moreover, this sealing formation could even withstand the full-force attack of a cultivator at Level 7 of the Primordial Spirit Realm.
In other words,
even if outer disciples who arrived at the Frigid Pool discovered that there was a Spirit Spring here,
they would still have no way to break the seal by force in order to cultivate inside.
Unless—
the one breaking the formation was at least an Advanced Formation Master.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to destroy it!
But for Tan Yun—
destroying a formation created by an Advanced Formation Master
was as easy as turning over his palm!
“Let’s begin!”
Tan Yun slowly moved his right hand.
Suddenly, 81 strands of spiritual power appeared before him, then quickly shot into the thousands of formation patterns!
In an instant—
the 81 strands of spiritual power circulated along strange pathways within the formation patterns for a short time.
Then, the Spirit Spring Sealing Formation burst into brilliant light!
The radiance shone through the massive crack that was 1,000 ft deep, illuminating the entire area!
A powerful beam of light shot upward from the crack toward the surface.
Like a gigantic pillar of light standing at the bottom of the pool,
it shone so brightly that it was dazzling!
“Hiss—!”
When the Bloodsickle Centipede discovered light bursting out from its cave, it immediately raised its ugly head, let out a sharp roar, and rushed straight toward the crack!
Its head pierced into the crack.
When it saw a human in front of it, it immediately spewed out dark red poisonous mist!
“Ugly monster… get lost!”
Tan Yun burst into laughter.
At the same time,
a tremendous suction force—like a whale swallowing the moon—suddenly surged into the Spirit Spring Sealing Formation.
Tan Yun’s body was instantly pulled into the rock wall!
“Boom!”
The Bloodsickle Centipede was furious.
It repeatedly slammed its head against the Spirit Spring sealing formation.
After crashing into it again and again until it became dizzy,
it finally gave up unwillingly.
Its eyes were filled with confusion as it burrowed down into the crack below…
“Wow!”
“This is incredible! Absolutely incredible!”
At this moment—
Tan Yun was sitting inside the Spirit Spring.
The spring had a diameter of about 1 m and a depth of about 2 ft.
He could feel the milky-white spiritual liquid slowly seeping into his body.
He couldn’t stop grinning from ear to ear!
Surrounding the Spirit Spring were stone walls.
This stone cave was about the size of a 2-story pavilion.
The spiritual energy gushing out from the spring flowed through the sealing formation on the stone wall in front.
After that, it spread toward the bottom of the Frigid Pool through the massive crack at the bottom of the pool,
allowing the demonic beasts to absorb it as power.
A Spirit Spring is a spiritual object born from heaven and earth.
It takes 30 minutes for 1 drop of spiritual liquid to form.
In other words,
the spiritual liquid contained in this spring must have accumulated for many years to reach such an amount!
“Hahaha!”
“With this spiritual liquid, my cultivation speed will increase by at least 2 times!”
Tan Yun laughed loudly.
Then his gaze turned icy cold.
“Once I break through to Level 9…”
“None of you should even dream of leaving the Snow Valley alive!”
After saying that,
Tan Yun sat cross-legged inside the Spirit Spring.
As he formed hand seals in front of his chest,
the milky-white spiritual liquid floated up from the spring in strands and flowed into the space between his eyebrows…
Time passed quickly.
In the blink of an eye—
13 days had already passed.
After Tan Yun had absorbed half of the spiritual liquid,
he finally sensed the barrier of Level 9 of the Nascent Soul Realm
and began charging toward that level!
Inside his Spirit Pool,
numerous spiritual veins began intertwining,
gradually forming the 9th Nascent Soul, which resembled a dried well…
The process of formation was extremely slow.
It took a full 3 days
for the 9th Nascent Soul to finally form completely!
Tan Yun gathered his concentration and breath,
entering a state of deep meditation.
Then his consciousness entered the Primordial Heart within the Spirit Pool.
He stood floating in the air,
like the lord of the primordial world,
looking down upon the vast ocean of Primordial Divine Liquid below.
With a wave of his hand—
the increasingly dense currents of Primordial Divine Liquid rose into the sky,
then flowed into the space between his eyebrows
and spread throughout his body,
tempering every part of his flesh…
Another 2 days passed.
After Tan Yun had completely refined the Primordial Divine Liquid within his body,
he suddenly opened his eyes.
His gaze shone with excitement!
“The Primordial King Body has finally broken through to Level 1 Perfection!”
“Now my physical strength is powerful enough to tear apart a High-Grade Spirit Weapon with my bare hands!”
Tan Yun smiled coldly.
“I’m really curious…”
“Within this Snow Valley—”
“Is there anyone left who can still be my opponent?”
