The Supreme Being Against Heaven
Chapter Summary
“Now that I have stepped into the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul Realm and reached the Peak of Stage 1 of the Hongmeng Emperor Body…” “Even I don’t know how powerful my soul has become!” His hair moved as if stirred by the wind. At the same time, he released his spiritual sense to cover the mountains and forests below within a radius of 30 li, searching for the Soul Spring, something that even cultivators in the Embryonic Soul Realm would go crazy over. The reason it drives cultivators in ...
“AAARGH!”
Inside the Hongmeng World, Tan Yun let out a miserable scream!
1 stream of Hongmeng divine liquid shot into the center of his brows.
Meanwhile, the other 9 streams seemed to possess their own consciousness, slowly revolving around Tan Yun’s body.
As they rotated,
the Hongmeng divine liquid split into tiny strands from afar before seeping into every part of his body.
Pain!
This pain was 100 times more intense than before.
It gnawed at every nerve in Tan Yun’s body!
Even though his willpower was extremely firm,
his face still twisted in agony as sweat poured from his body!
Waves of pain surged like a violent storm.
In just a few breaths,
Tan Yun was already in such agony that he nearly lost consciousness!
However,
one thing could be clearly felt—
under the tempering of the Hongmeng divine liquid,
the power hidden within every cell of his body was roaring and expanding wildly!
“Hahaha! Come on!”
“Great power—be born within me!”
Tan Yun could not help but shout loudly.
He knew very well that
this was the process of the Hongmeng Emperor Body advancing toward
the peak of Stage 1!
Once every cell in his body absorbed the 10 streams of Hongmeng divine liquid,
he would completely reach the Peak of Stage 1 of the Hongmeng Emperor Body!
When that time came,
he would be able to tear apart high-grade spirit weapons with his bare hands!
The strength and toughness of his body
would be equivalent to a high-grade spirit weapon!
Any magical weapon below the highest grade
would hardly be able to harm him at all…
5 days later
Tan Yun emerged from his meditative state.
Suddenly, he opened his eyes.
An enormous power he had never felt before surged through his body.
He could not help but release a long roar!
That roar
contained an aura that seemed to look down upon everything under heaven!
It revealed an unstoppable and domineering will!
A faint smile appeared at the corner of Tan Yun’s mouth.
“Now that I have stepped into the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul Realm and reached the Peak of Stage 1 of the Hongmeng Emperor Body…”
“Even I don’t know how powerful my soul has become!”
His hair moved as if stirred by the wind.
His spiritual sense was rapidly released in all directions!
3 li… 8 li… 12 li…
Soon it broke past the previous limit of 15 li
and continued expanding rapidly!
Until finally—
it covered an area with a radius of 30 li!
This meant that
Tan Yun’s spiritual power now
was comparable to that of a Level 1 cultivator of the Embryonic Soul Realm!
“Hahaha! Good! Very good!”
Tan Yun laughed joyfully.
Suddenly he used the Hongmeng Divine Step.
His figure instantly vanished—
and reappeared 30 zhang away!
Previously, with the same speed,
he could only move 20 zhang.
But now it had increased to 30 zhang.
That meant
his speed had increased by more than 30% compared to when he was at Level 9 of the Nascent Soul Realm!
Tan Yun stood with his hands behind his back.
His star-like eyes shone with fierce light.
“Within the next 51 days, no one will be able to enter the Embryonic Soul Realm.”
“I truly want to see who can still be my opponent now!”
Then his gaze turned icy cold.
“Linghu Changfeng, Liu Rulong, Wang Futong, Murong Kun, and all of your followers…”
“Pray that I do not encounter you.”
“Otherwise, I will kill you… one by one!”
At that moment,
Tan Yun used his spiritual sense to inspect the spirit beast pouch hanging at his waist.
His pupils shrank slightly before he chuckled softly.
“You big fellow… it seems that 2 months ago, when I let you drink half of the spirit water from the spirit spring, it wasn’t wasted.”
“Come out!”
“ROAR! ROAR! ROAR!”
A red beam of light shot out from Tan Yun’s spirit beast pouch.
It soared 100 feet into the sky.
In the blink of an eye,
the beam transformed into the
Blood-Winged Spirit Lion!
It released the aura of a Level 1 adult demonic beast!
After growing from the juvenile stage to adulthood,
its lion body had increased in size by 50%.
Now,
its body alone was 15 zhang long,
while its two wings spanned 20 zhang!
The Blood-Winged Spirit Lion descended with a gust of wind
before kneeling in front of Tan Yun.
Its eyes revealed a human-like sense of gratitude.
It felt grateful to its master
for giving it spirit water to drink, allowing it to reach adulthood!
Tan Yun gently stroked its head.
“From now on, I won’t let your efforts be in vain.”
Then he stepped onto the right wing of the Blood-Winged Spirit Lion
and easily climbed onto its back as if walking on flat ground.
The Blood-Winged Spirit Lion spread its wings
and soared into the sky!
It pierced through the clouds and flew above the valley.
Under Tan Yun’s guidance,
its crimson body streaked across the sky
as fast as a blood-red lightning bolt!
As the Blood-Winged Spirit Lion’s cultivation increased,
its flying speed rose from 10,000 li per day to 16,000 li per day.
Tan Yun said softly—
“Big fellow, fly a little lower and don’t go too fast.”
“If you see any humans, remember to notify me immediately.”
After giving the order,
Tan Yun sat cross-legged on the lion’s back, using every moment to cultivate.
At the same time, he released his spiritual sense
to cover the mountains and forests below within a radius of 30 li,
searching for the Soul Spring, something that even cultivators in the Embryonic Soul Realm would go crazy over.
When a cultivator in the Nascent Soul Realm advances to Level 1 of the Embryonic Soul Realm,
the first Nascent Soul inside the spirit pool condenses into an Embryonic Soul.
The attributes of the Embryonic Soul
determine a cultivator’s basic cultivation aptitude.
The terms talent and basic aptitude are completely different.
Talent refers to a cultivator’s intelligence and comprehension ability.
Basic aptitude, on the other hand, refers to the innate potential of one’s body and soul.
Generally speaking,
those with high talent also tend to possess high basic aptitude.
This is an invisible law of heaven and earth.
Therefore, among the more than 1,000,000 outer-sect disciples of the Huangfu Sacred Sect,
talent can be used as a rough measure to estimate basic aptitude.
However, to truly determine a cultivator’s future on the path of immortality,
one must wait until they step into the Embryonic Soul Realm
and see what type of Embryonic Soul is formed.
The quality of Embryonic Souls is divided into:
Low Grade – Middle Grade – High Grade – Excellent Grade
As for the Low Grade, also known as a Defective Soul,
it does not belong to any proper category.
Those who possess this type of soul,
no matter how hard they cultivate, will find it extremely difficult to succeed on the cultivation path.
They can practically be considered abandoned by heaven.
For the 5 basic elemental Embryonic Souls, they are:
Metal
Wood
Water
Fire
Earth
If a cultivator possesses 1–3 elements, it is considered Middle-Grade Aptitude.
If they possess 4 elements, it is considered High-Grade Aptitude.
If they possess all 5 elements, it is considered Excellent Aptitude.
In addition,
if someone possesses Wind Element or Lightning Element alone,
it is also considered High-Grade Aptitude.
But if they possess both Wind and Lightning,
it is considered Genius-Level Aptitude.
Above that,
there are 3 supreme-level aptitudes, which are:
Ancient Embryonic Soul
Demonic Embryonic Soul
Sacred Embryonic Soul
Among them,
the Sacred Embryonic Soul is further divided into 4 types:
Death
Light
World
Space
Those who possess this level of talent
can be described as 1 in 10,000—
individuals truly favored by heaven.
Aside from the aptitude levels of Low, Middle, High, and Excellent,
there also exist certain rare special physiques that can rival Excellent Aptitude, such as:
Mysterious Yin Sacred Body
Supreme Yang Body
and many others.
As for the Soul Spring,
it is a heaven-and-earth treasure born naturally.
The reason it drives cultivators in the Embryonic Soul Realm into a frenzy
is because the Soul Spring itself also possesses 13 attributes, namely:
Metal
Wood
Water
Fire
Earth
Wind
Lightning
Ancient
Demonic
Death
Light
Time
Space
If a cultivator in the Embryonic Soul Realm
fuses with a Soul Spring whose attribute matches their Embryonic Soul,
their cultivation speed will increase tremendously.
Soul Springs are divided into 4 quality levels:
Low Grade → increases cultivation speed by 2×
Middle Grade → increases cultivation speed by 2×
High Grade → increases cultivation speed by 3×
Supreme Grade → increases cultivation speed by 5×
However,
1 Soul Spring
can only be fused with by an Embryonic Soul Realm cultivator for 3 days.
If one wants to maintain this multiplicative cultivation speed,
they must collect many Soul Springs.
After 3 hours passed,
night had already enveloped the sky.
As the Blood-Winged Spirit Lion flew past Valley No. 13 and Valley No. 14,
Tan Yun, who had been constantly searching with his spiritual sense,
suddenly revealed a joyful expression.
“Big fellow, go down!”
he immediately ordered.
Soon,
Tan Yun rode the Blood-Winged Spirit Lion, hovering beside a mountain cliff.
On that cliff,
6 Soul Spring grasses were growing.
And at the top of each blade of grass,
a fist-sized Soul Spring floated.
This Soul Spring was entirely azure blue.
Inside, it seemed to be filled with crystal-clear blue crystals.
And on the surface of each crystal,
lightning energy could occasionally be seen appearing and disappearing.
