The Supreme Being Against Heaven
Chapter Summary
Tan Yun muttered softly, “Most of my enemies… have already touched the barrier of the Embryonic Soul Realm.” “If they want to condense their first embryonic soul from the spirit pool to advance to Level 1 of the Embryonic Soul Realm, the fastest it would take is 2 months, and at the slowest no more than 3 months.” Thinking of this, Tan Yun’s tightly furrowed brows gradually relaxed. Because if the spiritual power in his body were completely exhausted, he would need time to recover his strength a...
After killing the 3 people, Tan Yun frowned slightly as he used his spiritual sense to check the condition of the Blood-Winged Spirit Lion inside the spirit beast pouch.
Soon he discovered that the giant beast would still need at least 10 days before it could fully recover and fly again.
Tan Yun took a deep breath, trying to calm his mind before carefully analyzing the current situation.
Among his enemies,
only Linghu Changfeng, ranked 1 on the Hidden Dragon Ranking, and Liu Rulong, ranked 3, could truly be considered opponents capable of threatening Mu Mengyi.
The probability of Mu Mengyi encountering both of them at the same time was practically 0.
Even if she happened to encounter one of them, although she might not be able to defeat them, she would at least still have a chance to escape.
However, the person Tan Yun was most worried about was Xue Ziyan, who was ranked 128 on the Hidden Dragon Ranking.
If she accidentally encountered Linghu Changfeng, Liu Rulong, Wang Futong, or Murong Kun,
she might not even have a chance to escape!
Tan Yun wanted to find Xue Ziyan as quickly as possible.
However, within the trial area spanning 980,000 li, trying to find 1 person was as difficult as ascending to heaven.
He could only pray anxiously
that Xue Ziyan would safely reach the entrance of the Sunset Forest and reunite with Mu Mengyi.
Tan Yun muttered softly,
“Most of my enemies… have already touched the barrier of the Embryonic Soul Realm.”
“If they want to condense their first embryonic soul from the spirit pool to advance to Level 1 of the Embryonic Soul Realm, the fastest it would take is 2 months, and at the slowest no more than 3 months.”
Thinking of this,
Tan Yun’s tightly furrowed brows gradually relaxed.
A sharp glint flashed through his eyes.
Suddenly, he sat cross-legged on the ground and immediately entered secluded cultivation.
His thoughts were extremely clear.
Right now, he had already touched the barrier of the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul Realm.
He only needed 4 days to reach the Great Perfection level.
And if within 2 months no one managed to break through into the Embryonic Soul Realm,
then during the next 2 months…
there would be no one who could be his opponent!
Once he stepped into the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul Realm,
the injuries of the Blood-Winged Spirit Lion would also have healed completely.
At that time, he would ride the giant beast and fly straight to the Sunset Forest!
“Hongmeng Qi Gathering Technique!”
Tan Yun released his spiritual sense to cover a radius of 15 li to guard against sneak attacks from humans or beasts.
At the same time, he formed a hand seal in front of his chest.
Instantly,
the dense Heaven and Earth spiritual energy above his head rapidly gathered together.
It formed a spiritual vortex more than 100 feet long.
The vortex of energy surged into the center of his brows
before flowing into the spirit pool within his body and transforming into streams of pale golden spiritual power!
“ROAR!”
After 1 hour passed,
the roar of a demonic beast suddenly echoed out.
And it was getting closer and closer.
The sound completely shattered the tranquility of the valley.
It caused Tan Yun—who was preparing to break through to the Great Perfection level—to frown, his expression turning dark.
Through his spiritual sense,
he sensed that
a Level 1 Calamity-Grade Demon Bear was charging straight toward him!
It was 20 feet long and 8 feet tall.
Its enormous body pounded across the ground with terrifying force.
Yet Tan Yun remained seated.
He did not stand up, nor did he stop absorbing the Heaven and Earth spiritual energy.
His gaze fixed on the gray demon bear that appeared 20 feet away,
while releasing an aura equivalent to the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul Realm!
“ROAR!”
The demon bear opened its mouth wide, revealing white fangs,
as it roared ferociously at Tan Yun.
Tan Yun glanced slightly behind him.
At the foot of the mountain 200 feet away stood a cave.
Then he turned back to look at the demon bear and said in a cold and arrogant tone:
“If you want to return to your cave, go ahead.”
“I’m only cultivating here.”
“Once I finish cultivating, I’ll leave.”
“So… during this time, don’t disturb me.”
A Level 1 demon beast that had reached adulthood
possessed intelligence equivalent to a 12–13-year-old human child.
Therefore, Tan Yun knew very well that it could understand his words.
“ROAR!”
Tan Yun’s words clearly enraged the demon bear.
Its powerful hind legs scraped the ground, leaving 2 deep trenches.
The earth trembled!
Suddenly, its enormous body leaped 20 feet into the air
while swinging its massive left forepaw
and smashing it violently toward Tan Yun!
“SWISH! SWISH! SWISH!”
The demon bear’s claws were as sharp as blades, producing piercing sounds as they cut through the air.
“Get lost!”
Tan Yun shouted in a deep voice like thunder.
Originally sitting cross-legged on the ground, he suddenly sprang to his feet and threw out his right fist with full force!
“BANG!”
Compared to the demon bear’s gigantic paw, Tan Yun’s fist looked pitifully small.
However, the power contained within that punch made the demon bear feel a trace of fear!
After the collision between fist and paw,
Tan Yun was pushed back 10 feet by the impact. The blood and energy in his chest churned violently before he landed steadily on the ground.
“BOOM!”
As for the demon bear, whose body was as large as a small hill,
it was blasted 20 feet away by Tan Yun’s punch.
Its enormous body crashed into a patch of flowers, creating a huge crater!
“Roar…”
It stood up unsteadily, its round eyes staring at Tan Yun with vigilance.
Within its gaze,
a faint trace of fear could be seen.
The paw that had just clashed with Tan Yun
was now split open, with blood slowly flowing out.
Tan Yun stared at it with eyes as sharp as blades and said coldly,
“Beast… you can still stop now.”
“If you dare attack me again, I will not hesitate. Even if it costs me time, I will skin you alive and dig out your demon core!”
At this moment, Tan Yun should not waste his strength fighting the demon bear.
Because if the spiritual power in his body were completely exhausted, he would need time to recover his strength and concentrate again to sense the barrier of the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul Realm.
Altogether, it would take at least half a day.
Tan Yun did not want to waste even the slightest bit of time.
“Roar…”
The demon bear let out a low growl.
Then it nodded like a human.
After that, it opened its mouth wide, revealing its terrifying fangs, and swallowed the corpses of Liu Yihai and Wang Shujian lying on the ground in one gulp.
Then it turned its massive body, walked around Tan Yun, and crawled back into the cave.
For humans,
whether facing wild beasts or demonic beasts,
one must never turn their back on them.
This was the most basic common sense.
Therefore, Tan Yun sat cross-legged facing the cave
and began devoting everything to breaking through to the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul Realm.
The dense Heaven and Earth spiritual energy continued flowing into Tan Yun’s spirit pool through the center of his brows without stopping,
before transforming into streams of pale golden spiritual power.
These strands of spiritual power gradually fused and condensed,
forming the 10th Nascent Soul within the spirit pool.
Time passed silently.
The sun slowly set beyond the horizon, and the seasons seemed to change.
After 4 days passed—
Inside Tan Yun’s spirit pool,
the 10th Nascent Soul, transparent like crystal, was completely condensed!
A powerful aura erupted from his body,
covering a radius of 100 feet.
Because the place where Tan Yun cultivated was the territory of the demon bear,
during these 4 days, no other beast dared approach and disturb him.
“Wuu…”
At that moment, inside the large cave,
the demon bear sensed Tan Yun’s powerful aura.
It cautiously stuck its head out of the cave and let out a low whimper in alarm.
Tan Yun remained seated cross-legged with his eyes closed
before calmly saying,
“No need to worry. I am a man who keeps his word.”
“As long as you remain quiet, I will not take your life.”
After saying that,
Tan Yun’s consciousness entered a deep meditative state
and headed toward the Hongmeng Heart within his spirit pool.
Inside the vast Hongmeng World,
Tan Yun floated in midair.
In the blink of an eye,
from the ocean of Hongmeng divine liquid below,
10 streams of Hongmeng divine liquid surged into the sky like dragons!
The Hongmeng Body was a body-tempering technique that corresponded to Tan Yun’s cultivation level.
Now that he had stepped into the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul Realm,
his body tempering no longer used only 1 stream of Hongmeng divine liquid.
Instead—
it used 10 streams simultaneously!
A cultivator’s body was like a treasure trove that could be explored endlessly.
After Tan Yun advanced to the Great Perfection level,
the energy storage capacity within every square inch of his skin, and even every cell in his body,
had increased by 10 times compared to when he was at Level 9.
Therefore,
he could withstand 10 streams of Hongmeng divine liquid
without his body exploding!
The Hongmeng Emperor Body
was the ultimate pinnacle of all body-tempering techniques across all realms.
It perfectly matched Tan Yun’s power.
And in the entire universe…
only Tan Yun could cultivate it.
