The Supreme Being Against Heaven
Chapter Summary
“If I return to the sect, it will take at least 4 days.” “That means I can stay in Snow Valley for at most 3 more days.” After saying that, he stood up and stepped out of the Spirit Spring, then released the Bloodwing Spirit Lion from the Spirit Beast Pouch. As for the 10 disciples at the peak of the Nascent Soul Realm who had just been killed, they were the ones Chen Renqing had sent into the Frigid Pool to search for Tan Yun. “For the next 2 days, you’ll have to endure a bit.” “Continue search...
After that, Tan Yun did not continue cultivating. He muttered softly to himself.
“I spent 5 days escaping to the Spirit Spring, and cultivated here for another 18 days…”
“Now there are only 7 days left before the decisive battle with Ye Tian.”
Tan Yun pondered for a moment.
“If I return to the sect, it will take at least 4 days.”
“That means I can stay in Snow Valley for at most 3 more days.”
After saying that, he stood up and stepped out of the Spirit Spring, then released the Bloodwing Spirit Lion from the Spirit Beast Pouch.
Even though 48 days had passed since the Bloodwing Spirit Lion was severely injured by the Snowfield Demonic Ape,
the wound on its chest still looked terrifying.
“Roar!”
The weakened Bloodwing Spirit Lion, after smelling the pure and dense spiritual energy of heaven and earth in the air,
revealed excitement in its enormous eyes, almost like a human.
It stood up shakily. Its massive mountain-like body slowly walked toward the Spirit Spring.
Then it lowered its head and looked at the spiritual liquid inside, its eyes filled with intense desire.
Tan Yun smiled slightly.
“The spiritual liquid will dissipate immediately once it leaves the spring.”
“Big guy, hurry and drink as much as you can!”
The moment he finished speaking,
the Bloodwing Spirit Lion immediately lowered its head and eagerly drank the spiritual liquid.
After finishing it all, it lay down in front of Tan Yun and let out a soft roar as if expressing its gratitude.
Tan Yun reached out and gently stroked its head, speaking with a smile.
“From now on, unless you receive my order, you are not allowed to risk your life again.”
“And also… in the future, I will help you undergo a great transformation.”
“I will make you even stronger than a dragon.”
“Roar!”
The Bloodwing Spirit Lion kept rubbing its enormous head against Tan Yun. Its roar was filled with indescribable excitement.
Tan Yun chuckled softly.
“Alright, go back and recover inside the Spirit Beast Pouch.”
“I hope that after absorbing the spiritual liquid, you will soon break through into the Level 1 Mature Stage.”
After saying that, he placed the Bloodwing Spirit Lion back into the Spirit Beast Pouch.
Then, when he walked toward the wall in front,
the Spirit Spring Sealing Formation released an aura of light that enveloped Tan Yun’s body.
In the next second,
Tan Yun left the Spirit Spring and reappeared inside the massive crack once again.
He quickly swam out of the crack.
When he arrived at the bottom of the Frigid Pool, he released his spiritual sense with full force.
The invisible waves of spiritual sense spread outward like a massive tide around him.
300 ft…
5 li…
8 li…
It surpassed the previous limit of 11 li that he had before his breakthrough,
before finally stopping at a radius of 15 li.
That meant
his spiritual sense was 50% stronger than that of ordinary cultivators at the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul Realm.
With such powerful spiritual sense,
the power of the Primordial Divine Eyes would certainly increase tremendously!
Tan Yun pushed off from the bottom of the pool.
His figure shot upward like lightning!
To avoid unnecessary battles,
he released his powerful aura,
causing the surrounding demonic beasts to flee in fear!
As Tan Yun’s strength increased, combined with the immense buoyant force of the water,
his speed rose dramatically.
Before long, he had already left the region near the bottom of the pool.
The terrain of the Frigid Pool of Demon Valley resembled a giant bottle.
The bottom of the pool was extremely vast,
but the upper area had a radius of only 30 li.
As Tan Yun swam upward toward the surface,
in order not to miss any area and to search for the enemies who had once chased him,
every time he ascended 15 li,
he would move around and search within a 30 li radius around him.
After searching for a full 2 hours without finding anything,
suddenly—
Tan Yun’s eyes suddenly lit up!
Through his spiritual sense,
he discovered that 13 li above him in the water,
there were 10 disciples at the peak of the Nascent Soul Realm,
drawing their swords and cursing at each other while diving toward the bottom of the pool.
“I’m telling you, brothers, that bastard Tan Yun is probably already dead!”
“There’s no point in us continuing to search!”
Another person immediately said,
“That’s right!”
“How could someone at Level 8 of the Nascent Soul Realm survive at the bottom of the pool for 18 days? Who would believe that?”
“Do you think the demonic beasts at the bottom are all blind?!”
Another hurriedly tried to calm them.
“Alright, alright, stop complaining.”
“Senior Brother Chen is an important subordinate of Senior Brother Linghu.”
“This order came from Senior Brother Linghu, we just have to follow it!”
“……”
Tan Yun, who was rapidly rushing toward the 10 of them,
held his breath.
Because his spiritual sense was far stronger than theirs,
even though he was observing them with his spiritual sense,
none of the 10 people noticed anything at all!
A moment later—
“Hm? Look… what’s that…”
One disciple looked down into the water below. He saw 2 blood-red beams of light shooting straight upward toward the 10 of them.
Just as he was about to warn the other 9 companions,
his body suddenly froze!
The other 9 disciples did not notice anything strange about him.
They lowered their heads and looked downward.
Suddenly—
they saw a familiar face rushing up from the water!
On that face—
a pair of blood-red eyes emitted a terrifying crimson glow!
“Th… that’s Tan Yun…”
Before the 9 of them could even react,
a buzzing sound violently exploded inside their minds!
Their consciousness instantly went blank.
Their bodies floated upward uncontrollably with the current.
“Bang! Bang! Bang!”
Tan Yun shot straight upward.
His figure left afterimages in the water as he threw 9 consecutive punches!
In an instant—
the chests of all 9 people exploded!
9 clouds of blood scattered throughout the water!
Tan Yun burst through the curtain of blood and the icy water,
grabbing the throat of the last disciple with one hand.
His strange crimson eyes stared coldly at the other party.
He spoke in an icy voice.
“Tell me… what’s the situation outside right now?”
“How many groups want to kill me?”
The disciple replied with a blank expression.
“There are 3 groups outside who want to kill you…”
“You offended Senior Brother Linghu…”
From his answer,
Tan Yun learned that during the past 18 days,
there had been 3 groups trying to kill him.
The first group—
was the people of Liu Rulong.
There were 173 Law Enforcement disciples in total.
They were led by Zhao Zihu, a Law Enforcement disciple ranked 101 on the Hidden Dragon List.
Right now, all 173 disciples were guarding the cliffs around the Frigid Pool,
blocking every possible escape route.
The second group—
was the people of Murong Kun.
There were 27 cultivators at the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul Realm.
They were led by Peng Zhang, who ranked 112 on the Hidden Dragon List.
At present, Peng Zhang and his 27 companions, a total of 28 people,
were guarding the ice layer above the pool.
Determined not to leave until they found Tan Yun’s corpse!
The last group—
were the people of Lin Yi, a subordinate of Linghu Changkong.
At this moment,
Chen Renqing, who ranked 108 on the Hidden Dragon List,
was also standing on the ice.
He had brought 40 disciples at the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul Realm,
and another 32 disciples at Level 9 of the Nascent Soul Realm.
As for the 10 disciples at the peak of the Nascent Soul Realm who had just been killed,
they were the ones Chen Renqing had sent into the Frigid Pool to search for Tan Yun.
“Crack!”
After learning everything,
Tan Yun immediately snapped the disciple’s neck.
Then—
his body moved swiftly through the pool,
removing the Qiankun Rings from the fingers of all 10 corpses,
and storing them all away!
Tan Yun smiled faintly.
“Good… very good!”
“Since none of you have left yet…”
“Then leave your lives here!”
After saying that,
he quickly swam toward the surface.
—
2 hours later
Night had fallen.
On the thick ice covering the Frigid Pool,
Peng Zhang, Song Guang, Li Yi, and 28 others
were sitting cross-legged.
Several hundred feet away
stood Chen Renqing and his 73 men.
Peng Zhang swept his gaze across the 27 disciples in front of him and spoke in a low voice.
“It has been several days already. It seems Tan Yun is really dead.”
“In another 7 days, the Sect Entry Qualification Competition will begin.”
“This place is quite far from the sect. It takes 4 – 5 days to travel back.”
“So I propose this…”
“In 2 days, we will set off and return to the sect!”
“Agreed!”
All 27 people replied in unison.
Peng Zhang nodded.
“For the next 2 days, you’ll have to endure a bit.”
“Continue searching for Tan Yun in the Frigid Pool.”
He looked toward Song Guang, Li Yi, and another 10 disciples at the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul Realm,
then gave the order.
“You will enter the pool tonight!”
“Understood, Senior Brother Peng!”
After receiving the order,
Song Guang and Li Yi walked to the edge of the ice hole first.
But just as the two were about to jump into the pool—
they suddenly froze in place!
In the water about 3 zhang deep,
they saw an extremely familiar face
staring up at them with a cold smile!
“Senior Brother Peng! That’s Tan Yun!”
The two shouted excitedly.
But suddenly—
Tan Yun’s figure disappeared beneath the water!
“Splash!”
Water exploded everywhere!
Tan Yun burst out of the pool in an instant!
Both hands shot forward like lightning,
grabbing Song Guang and Li Yi by the throat,
before soaring 30 feet into the air!
“No—!”
“Ahhh!”
Their screams stopped instantly.
Because Tan Yun held one in each hand,
then violently swung his arms!
The bodies of the two slammed into each other!
“Bang—! Crack!”
A mist of blood exploded into the air.
Bones shattered,
and fresh blood splattered across the pure white ice!
