The Supreme Being Against Heaven
Chapter Summary
At this moment, aside from the top 30 disciples on the Hidden Dragon Ranking, who could still clearly see Tan Yun’s figure flickering as he chased Ye Tian across the massive arena— The other disciples at the perfect completion stage of the Spirit Embryo Realm could only see a faint trajectory of Tan Yun’s movement! “Elder of the Law Enforcement Hall, the rules of this battle arena were established by the founding ancestors of our sect long ago.” “Once people step onto the battle platform, no one...
Ye Tian didn’t even have time to raise his head. Gripping the 1-zhang long black greatsword in his left hand, he immediately slashed upward to block the attack!
“Bang! Clang!”
Tan Yun’s physical strength was already terrifying—he could tear apart a high-grade spiritual weapon with his bare hands. Now, with the sharp low-grade spiritual flying sword in his hand and using his full power to strike down—
With just 1 move, Ye Tian’s greatsword was split into 2 pieces, and the sword light continued forward, almost splitting his head into 2 halves!
“Ah—!”
Ye Tian screamed. He tilted his head and retreated rapidly. Although he avoided having his head split open, his already-crippled right arm was severed and sent flying, blood spraying everywhere!
“Ye Tian, take this!”
Linghu Changkong below the arena could no longer hold back. In panic, he immediately threw his own low-grade spiritual flying sword onto the arena!
“Thank you, Senior Brother Linghu!” Ye Tian said gratefully as he reached out to catch the flying sword.
But at that very moment, a cold laugh sounded.
Tan Yun’s figure flickered continuously through the air. His left hand suddenly grabbed the flying sword before Ye Tian could reach it!
“Tan Yun, that flying sword is the one I lent to Ye Tian. You trash, return it to him right now!” Linghu Changkong roared.
“No problem. After I finish dealing with him, I’ll return the flying sword to him.”
Tan Yun sneered. Holding 2 flying swords in both hands, he used the Primordial Divine Step, his figure flickering as he charged toward Ye Tian with 2 streaks of sword light!
Ye Tian’s face turned deathly pale. Even though he was 5 meters tall, he had no strength left to fight back and could only dodge in panic!
“No—!”
A deep and painful roar echoed. After narrowly dodging 1 streak of sword light, the other flashed forward and instantly severed his left arm!
Having lost both arms, Ye Tian’s eyes turned bloodshot, wide open with despair and helplessness!
He had never imagined that even after cultivating the Dragon Martial Body to level 12, his physical strength would still be inferior to Tan Yun’s!
Nor had he expected that after Tan Yun broke through to level 9 of the Spirit Embryo Realm, his speed would surpass his own!
Just that slight gap in speed was enough for Ye Tian to realize that today he would certainly die!
“Tan Yun! I won’t let you kill me with your own hands! I won’t let you get what you want! Even if I must die under the sect’s rules, I still won’t let you succeed!” Ye Tian roared hoarsely. Spiritual power surged throughout his body as he suddenly dashed off the battle platform!
“Oh? Is that so? Then let’s see who ends up disappointed!”
A cold and merciless voice rang out.
Among the more than 900,000 disciples below the arena—those at level 8 and level 9 of the Spirit Embryo Realm—their strength was too low. They could only see Tan Yun’s figure vanish from the battle platform as if it had evaporated into thin air!
At this moment, aside from the top 30 disciples on the Hidden Dragon Ranking, who could still clearly see Tan Yun’s figure flickering as he chased Ye Tian across the massive arena—
The other disciples at the perfect completion stage of the Spirit Embryo Realm could only see a faint trajectory of Tan Yun’s movement!
Whoosh!
Finally, Ye Tian jumped to the edge of the arena and fell off the battle platform!
“Get back here!”
Tan Yun appeared above Ye Tian in an instant. The sword in his hand stabbed viciously down toward both of Ye Tian’s legs!
“No—!”
Ye Tian’s scream echoed, but Tan Yun held the sword with both hands, lifting Ye Tian’s entire body before flinging him backward into the air!
After landing firmly back on the arena, Tan Yun immediately twisted his wrist. The flying sword piercing through Ye Tian’s legs suddenly slashed—
Severing his Achilles tendons and cutting off both legs!
“Ah…!”
Ye Tian, who had now lost all 4 limbs, let out a miserable scream in agony while crawling toward the edge of the arena. He no longer wanted to endure Tan Yun’s torture!
“Stop!”
On the battle ranking platform, Qiu Yongchong pointed at Tan Yun and shouted angrily.
“Tan Yun! Killing someone only requires 1 strike to the head. If you want to kill Ye Tian, then let him die quickly! Such cruel and inhumane behavior like yours is something our Ancient Sect despises!”
Tan Yun stepped on Ye Tian’s back, then quickly turned around and stared firmly at Qiu Yongchong before speaking in a deep voice.
“Elder of the Law Enforcement Hall, the rules of this battle arena were established by the founding ancestors of our sect long ago.”
“Once people step onto the battle platform, no one is allowed to interfere or obstruct — that is the rule!”
“But now you are ordering your disciple to stop… does this mean you are questioning the fairness of the rules set by our sect’s ancestors?”
Tan Yun’s words, which sounded like an accusation that Qiu Yongchong was disrespecting the ancestors, made Qiu Yongchong so furious he was about to explode.
“How dare you slander this Law Enforcement Elder!”
“Slander?” Tan Yun chuckled softly.
“You are a highly respected elder. How would I dare slander you? I am merely speaking the truth.”
“If you say I’m slandering you, then the elders and the millions of disciples watching right now have all seen it with their own eyes. You ordered me to stop — is that not the truth?”
Hearing this, Qiu Yongchong was left speechless in front of the crowd, trembling with rage!
Tan Yun snorted coldly and continued pressing forward.
“Law Enforcement Elder, before the duel began, Ye Tian arrogantly declared that he would destroy my limbs, break my neck, and tear my head apart!”
“Now I am simply returning the favor in the same way. Why is that considered despicable?”
“I respect you as an elder, but please do not slander and insult me in front of everyone!”
Every word spoken by Tan Yun was flawless. Each sentence felt like a slap across Qiu Yongchong’s face in front of the public, stripping him of all dignity!
“Hmph!”
Qiu Yongchong snorted coldly before sitting back down in his chair, his face burning with embarrassment. To him, the gazes of the other elders felt like heavy slaps across his face!
“Tan Yun is only 16 years old, yet his bearing and composure are like someone who has experienced the world for many years…”
Shen Qingqiu looked at Tan Yun with admiration as she thought to herself.
“Ah… No!”
Amid Ye Tian’s hysterical screams, Tan Yun stepped on his body with his right foot. Then he bent down and grabbed Ye Tian’s jaw with both hands before violently twisting his neck.
Crack!
Splash!
The moment Ye Tian’s neck snapped, blood sprayed everywhere!
Yet Tan Yun remained eerily calm. He grabbed Ye Tian’s head with 2 hands, tore it off from the body, and tossed it onto the battle platform!
Clang!
“This is the flying sword that Linghu Changkong lent you. I’m returning it as promised.”
Tan Yun said as he stabbed Linghu Changkong’s flying sword into Ye Tian’s corpse!
Silence!
The vast plaza containing more than 1,000,000 disciples suddenly fell into complete silence!
No matter who it was—including the 16 elders—all of them stared at Ye Tian’s corpse. If they had not seen it with their own eyes, they would never have believed that Ye Tian had died at the hands of Tan Yun!
Not long after, the plaza filled with millions of people erupted into a deafening uproar!
The disciples lost control of their emotions, shouting wildly to release their shock, admiration, and fear toward Tan Yun!
“Senior Brother Ye is dead… Senior Brother Ye is really dead!”
“Senior Brother Ye had cultivated the Dragon Martial Body to level 12, yet he actually died at the hands of Tan Yun who is only at level 9 of the Spirit Embryo Realm!”
“This is unbelievable! Tan Yun killed Senior Brother Ye without even being injured. His strength must at least rank within the top 30 of the Hidden Dragon Ranking!”
“Yes… Tan Yun is truly incredible! I heard that in the past 3,000 years, no disciple at level 9 of the Spirit Embryo Realm has ever entered the Hidden Dragon Ranking!”
“Tan Yun is the first outer disciple in 3,000 years to do it!”
“And Tan Yun really did exactly what he said! Senior Brother Ye only made threats, but Tan Yun actually did it—destroying his limbs and breaking his neck…”
