The Supreme Being Against Heaven
Chapter Summary
In his mind, he was already planning a scheme like “the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind.” He intended to act only after Wang Futong arrived and everyone had finished moving the 5,000,000-jin boulder away. One of them said respectfully, “Senior Brother Wang, the Demonic Soul Springs are beneath this pile of rocks.” Wang Futong quickly bent down and squeezed into the rubble, his gaze scanning through the cracks between the stones.

Tan Yun hid among the piles of rocks, about 200 feet away from the group. He did not rush to make a move.
In his mind, he was already planning a scheme like “the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind.”
He intended to act only after Wang Futong arrived and everyone had finished moving the 5,000,000-jin boulder away.
After 30 minutes passed—
laughter echoed from outside the palace.
“Hahaha! Where are the 3 Supreme-Grade Demonic Soul Springs?”
Wang Futong led 12 of his disciples into the palace with joyful expressions.
When the 18 disciples who were already standing around the pile of rubble saw him, they immediately stepped aside to make way.
One of them said respectfully,
“Senior Brother Wang, the Demonic Soul Springs are beneath this pile of rocks.”
Wang Futong quickly bent down and squeezed into the rubble, his gaze scanning through the cracks between the stones.
Soon he saw that—
beneath 8 giant boulders, on the ground covered with weeds,
there were indeed 3 Demonic Soul Springs.
Inside the gray pools,
spring spirits could be seen swimming within.
At a single glance,
it was obvious that they were genuine Supreme-Grade Demonic Soul Springs.
Wang Futong’s eyes immediately shone with excitement.
“Everyone, listen to my command!”
he shouted loudly.
“First move the rocks on top away. Then we’ll work together to lift the boulder below in one go!”
Wang Futong continued in a generous tone,
“After we collect the Soul Springs, I will not take advantage of anyone.”
“If any of you break through to the Nascent Soul Realm and possess a Demonic Nascent Soul aptitude, these 3 Soul Springs…”
“I will sell them to you at only 80% of the market price.”
“As for the spirit stones obtained, we will divide them equally!”
Upon hearing this,
everyone became extremely excited.
“Excellent! Thank you, Senior Brother Wang!”
One must know—
Supreme-Grade Soul Springs were incomparably precious.
Even if one had countless spirit stones,
it did not mean they could actually buy them.
Amid the cheering,
everyone worked together with all their strength.
Soon,
7 giant boulders were moved aside.
Then, under Wang Futong’s arrangement,
the 30 disciples spread out and surrounded
a giant boulder dozens of zhang long, weighing 5,000,000 jin.
They bent down, grabbed the edges of the stone with both hands,
and exerted force together.
“Ha!”
Suddenly,
the giant boulder was lifted off the ground!
And on the rough stone ground below,
the 3 Supreme-Grade Demonic Soul Springs
immediately appeared in Wang Futong’s sight.
His face filled with a smile
as he walked toward the springs about 10 feet away.
However—
at that very moment—
“Whoosh!”
A gust of wind swept past.
Then a shadow flashed across the ground,
and in the blink of an eye,
the 3 Supreme-Grade Demonic Soul Springs vanished!
The smile on Wang Futong’s face froze instantly.
He roared in fury,
“Bastard!”
“You dare steal the treasure of me, Wang Futong?!”
His eyes locked onto
a young man in luxurious robes
standing with his back to him 10 feet away.
“Bang!”
After the 30 disciples dropped the boulder back onto the ground,
the female disciples glared at the young man’s back with hatred.
The male disciples
drew their swords from their sheaths,
their faces ferocious with rage!
They had worked desperately
to lift the giant stone—
only for someone else to seize the reward first!
“You bastard!”
“You little brat! Hand over the Soul Springs immediately!”
“Hand them over! You piece of trash—how dare you act arrogantly before us!”
“I think you’re tired of living!”
Amid the furious curses,
the young man in luxurious robes slowly turned around.
His eyes were cold like a demon
as he slowly swept his gaze across the crowd
before speaking in a chilling voice.
“Finished cursing?”
“If you’re done…”
“then it’s time for all of you to die.”
When they saw his face,
the 30 disciples
all widened their eyes simultaneously.
A shocked cry rang out.
“Tan Yun!”
“It’s really him!”
“Tan Yun has broken through to the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul Realm!”
Instantly,
the faces of the 30 people turned pale with fear.
Because their rankings on the Hidden Dragon List
were all below rank 100.
Some were even below rank 2,000.
They knew very well—
even when Tan Yun was only at Level 9 of the Nascent Soul Realm,
they were already no match for him.
Not to mention now!
The 30 disciples, swords in hand,
retreated quickly to stand behind Wang Futong,
hoping to rely on his protection.
Wang Futong raised his right arm high and shouted,
“Everyone, don’t panic!”
“I will guarantee your safety!”
Immediately,
the disciples behind him shouted,
“Senior Brother Wang, you are rank 9 on the Hidden Dragon List!”
“Even if Tan Yun has reached Great Perfection, he cannot possibly be your opponent!”
“That’s right! Kill him!”
“Kill him!”
Everyone stared at Tan Yun with furious eyes.
Wang Futong slightly narrowed his eyes, the gaze he directed at Tan Yun growing colder and colder.
“I searched for you everywhere but couldn’t find you… yet you’ve delivered yourself right in front of me!”
“Today, I will use your blood to sacrifice to the spirit of my cousin!”
Tan Yun chuckled softly in mockery.
“Heh.”
He flicked his wrist lightly.
Suddenly,
a Qiankun Ring appeared in his hand.
Tan Yun lifted it and gently shook it.
The moment Wang Futong saw the ring—
which looked extremely familiar—
his body froze instantly.
His eyes gradually turned bloodshot with rage.
“Tan Yun… you are truly vicious!”
“So you dared come here alone because you wanted to use Liang Qing to threaten me!”
Wang Futong gritted his teeth and spoke in a low voice.
“Fine!”
“You win!”
“As long as you don’t harm her, the 3 Supreme-Grade Demonic Soul Springs—you can take them if you want!”
“For the sake of my cousin, I will no longer seek revenge against you!”
Wang Futong asked anxiously,
“Where is Qing’er?!”
“Where exactly is she?!”
“Tell me now—what did you do to her?!”
Tan Yun chuckled calmly, completely unhurried.
“You think too highly of yourself.”
“I don’t need to use a woman to threaten you in order to deal with you.”
Then the corner of his mouth curved into a sly smile.
“But speaking of which…”
“That girl Liang Qing… her figure is quite nice.”
“Not only is her body good… her skills aren’t bad either.”
Tan Yun pretended to suddenly remember something.
“Oh right.”
“Her younger sister, Liang Xia, is still a virgin too.”
“Fierce twin sisters like that…”
“Heh… quite enjoyable.”
Those words made Wang Futong so furious he almost exploded!
“You beast!”
“I’ll kill you!”
Wang Futong roared.
His face turned red with rage,
and his shout echoed throughout the ruins!
“Woom!”
Suddenly,
Wang Futong lost control in a frenzy.
Spiritual power swirled wildly around his body,
and the stone floor beneath his feet shattered!
He waved his hand—
and a 20-foot sword energy shot out instantly!
It slashed toward Tan Yun with terrifying force!
This was a full-power attack without any restraint!
He wanted to tear Tan Yun into pieces!
Tan Yun merely sneered.
“So weak, yet you still dare seek revenge?”
“How laughable.”
Before everyone’s eyes,
Tan Yun’s body was instantly swallowed by the sword blade!
“BOOM!”
“BANG! BANG! BANG!”
The ruins of the palace trembled violently.
Fragments of stone exploded outward like waves,
and the residual sword power spread throughout the area!
It looked as though
Tan Yun had been struck until not even a corpse remained.
Wang Futong shouted angrily,
“You bastard… you died too eas—”
But before he could finish his sentence,
he cried out in shock.
“You… actually dodged it?!”
“Impossible!”
“How can you be that fast?!”
At that moment,
Tan Yun appeared like a ghost
30 feet to the right—
having just dodged the sword strike.
“There is nothing impossible.”
“Wang Futong… in front of me, you are far too weak.”
Tan Yun’s voice was cold and indifferent.
Suddenly,
his figure vanished from Wang Futong’s sight again!
In an instant,
he appeared above Wang Futong’s head
and stomped down violently!
“Whoosh!”
Wang Futong was extremely shocked and quickly dodged to the side.
At the same time,
he swung his right arm and slashed with his sword at lightning speed!
“SWISH!”
But Tan Yun dashed low through the air,
evading the attack with astonishing speed!
His body spun in midair,
causing the surrounding space to tremble slightly.
Then—
his powerful right leg smashed toward Wang Futong, who could no longer dodge in time!
“BANG!”
“CRACK!”
“NO!!!”
A frenzied scream rang out,
along with the chilling sound of bones shattering!
Tan Yun’s kick shattered Wang Futong’s left fist,
and the force of the strike continued—
destroying the bones of his entire left arm!
Wang Futong’s body was blasted away
like a cannonball,
landing 20 feet away.
He roared furiously,
“Tan Yun!”
“Just you wait!”
“I’ll come back again!”
Suddenly,
his Qiankun Ring flashed with light,
and a Gale Talisman appeared in his hand!
A strand of spiritual power from his fingertip
instantly flowed into the talisman.
In the blink of an eye,
the talisman flew up above his head.
Violent winds surged out
and wrapped around his body!
Then—
Wang Futong turned and fled immediately!
With the power of the talisman,
his body shot forward 25 feet in an instant!
Tan Yun sneered.
“You think you can escape using a Speed Wind Talisman made by a mere talisman apprentice?”
“Die!”
Using the Hongmeng Divine Step,
Tan Yun moved like a phantom through the ruins.
In just a blink,
he appeared 30 feet away.
After taking only 6 steps,
Tan Yun had already caught up behind Wang Futong,
less than 0.5 feet away!
He immediately threw a punch toward the back of Wang Futong’s head!
“AAAAH!!!”
Wang Futong screamed like a pig being slaughtered.
At the moment he turned his head to dodge the punch,
Tan Yun’s right fist suddenly opened,
then swept sideways
and grabbed the back of Wang Futong’s neck!
Then—
“CRACK!”
Wang Futong’s neck was snapped instantly!
