The Supreme Being Against Heaven
Chapter Summary
“Trash.” “When Wang Futong was alive, you shouted for him to kill me.” “Now that he’s dead, you push all the blame onto him.” After saying that, Tan Yun’s eyes suddenly emitted a strange light. After that, Tan Yun summoned the Blood-Winged Spirit Lion and rode it toward the exit of the Demon God Palace. Once those people had gathered enough treasures and headed toward the Ruins City to enter the Mustard Seed Time-Space Tower for cultivation— that would be the moment he would kill them all in one...
“Senior Brother Wang is dead! How could something like this happen…”
“Senior Brother Wang was rank 9 on the Hidden Dragon List! How could he possibly die!”
“Tan Yun is too powerful… what should we do? Someone tell me!”
“… ”
The 19 male disciples and 11 female disciples stared at Wang Futong’s corpse with terrified expressions.
The aura of death hung above their heads.
“Thud!”
Suddenly,
one male disciple’s mental defense collapsed instantly.
He dropped to his knees before Tan Yun, begging for mercy.
“Tan Yun, the reason we opposed you was not our intention!”
“We were only pressured by the authority of Senior Brother Wang… no, by Wang Futong!”
“Thud! Thud! Thud!”
Soon,
another 10 male disciples and 6 female disciples also knelt down.
Tears streamed down their faces.
Their words became incoherent as they desperately begged for their lives.
“Yes… it was Wang Futong who forced us to oppose you!”
“We were no match for him, so we had no choice but to follow his orders!”
“Senior Brother Tan, please spare us!”
“Please… we beg you…”
Facing their pleas,
Tan Yun merely sneered with contempt.
“Trash.”
“When Wang Futong was alive, you shouted for him to kill me.”
“Now that he’s dead, you push all the blame onto him.”
After saying that,
Tan Yun’s eyes suddenly emitted a strange light.
He activated the Hongmeng Divine Eyes.
His blood-red pupils swept across the crowd.
“BOOM!”
Suddenly,
the 23 disciples who met his gaze
felt as if an explosion erupted inside their minds.
After that,
they stood frozen,
like souls that had left their bodies.
“Split up and run!”
Among those who remained conscious,
4 male disciples and 3 female disciples reacted immediately.
One of them shouted.
In an instant,
all 7 people burst forth with spiritual power
and leapt onto the collapsed palace wall over 100 feet high.
A cruel smile appeared on Tan Yun’s lips.
He looked at the 23 disciples standing motionless like puppets
and said indifferently,
“Kill those 7 people.”
“Then… kill yourselves.”
“Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!”
The 23 disciples immediately rushed toward the palace wall.
The swords in their hands flashed with light,
their bodies light as swallows.
In the blink of an eye,
countless sword energies shot toward the 7 people!
“AAAH—!”
“Stop attacking! Are you crazy?! We’re on the same side!”
“NO!!!”
Under the relentless pursuit and encirclement of 23 people,
the 7 disciples screamed in terror and disbelief.
Soon,
fresh blood splattered across the ruined palace wall.
The 7 corpses crashed heavily onto the rubble below.
“Slash! Slash!”
The 23 disciples standing on the wall
raised their swords simultaneously—
and slit their own throats.
Blood gushed from their necks
as their bodies fell onto the rocks below.
Some were smashed into mangled pulp.
Others were torn into pieces.
Tan Yun watched the scene indifferently
before speaking coldly,
“Anyone who intends to kill me…”
“will inevitably be killed by me.”
“They deserved to die.”
He did not even spare the corpses another glance.
He simply walked over and removed the Qiankun Rings
from every body
and stored them in his own Qiankun Ring.
After that,
Tan Yun summoned the Blood-Winged Spirit Lion
and rode it toward the exit of the Demon God Palace.
Every time Tan Yun killed an enemy,
he would always collect their Qiankun Rings.
Until now,
he had not opened a single one of those rings
to check
how many spirit stones or treasures were inside.
The reason was simple.
In Tan Yun’s mind,
he must eliminate all his enemies first.
Only then would he count the wealth in their Qiankun Rings.
Even then,
it would not be too late.
At the same time,
Tan Yun did not waste time searching the Demon God Palace for treasures like Soul Springs.
In his view,
spending time searching for treasures personally was unnecessary.
He only needed to wait patiently.
His plan was very clear.
He would allow his more than 2,000 enemies
to scatter throughout the trial area
to search for treasures.
Once those people had gathered enough treasures
and headed toward the Ruins City
to enter the Mustard Seed Time-Space Tower for cultivation—
that would be the moment
he would kill them all in one strike.
And then,
all the treasures
would belong to him alone.
As for the trial area, which spanned 980,000 li,
Tan Yun did not believe
that a Fire Seed truly existed there.
Because Fire Seeds only existed in 2 types:
Type 1
A spiritual object born from heaven and earth.
Type 2
Something that only high-level demonic beasts could produce within their bodies.
This trial area opened every 3 years
for outer sect disciples to participate.
Therefore,
even if Fire Seeds had once existed,
they would likely have been taken long ago
by disciples from previous trials.
Moreover,
the strongest demonic beasts within the trial area
were only Level 2 adult demonic beasts.
Their power level was far too low
to generate spiritual flames within their bodies.
After the Blood-Winged Spirit Lion carried Tan Yun out of the Demon God Palace,
Tan Yun intended to travel to the Sunset Forest,
which was more than 500,000 li away.
To reach the destination as quickly as possible,
Tan Yun ordered the Blood-Winged Spirit Lion to fly in a straight line,
crossing the vast wasteland with a diameter of 300,000 li
without making even the slightest detour.
Demonic beasts naturally possessed a much stronger sense of direction than humans.
Therefore,
Tan Yun could sit on the back of the Blood-Winged Spirit Lion and cultivate with peace of mind,
without worrying that it would lose its direction.
While cultivating,
Tan Yun also released his spiritual sense.
The invisible spiritual sense
spread outward in a spherical range
covering an area around him with a diameter of 30 li.
With this method,
if a Level 2 flying demonic beast attacked from anywhere,
he would be able to detect it in advance.
In addition,
he also instructed the Blood-Winged Spirit Lion
to warn him immediately if it discovered humans on the ground during the flight.
The Blood-Winged Spirit Lion,
like a red beam of light,
shot across the sky above the wasteland
at a speed of 16,000 li per day.
Time passed quickly.
After 20 days,
the Blood-Winged Spirit Lion flew across the wasteland,
leaped over a massive abyss,
and arrived above a vast lake
that looked like an ocean.
Above the deep black water surface,
a thin layer of mist floated gently.
The waves shimmered with faint light,
yet the atmosphere felt cold and eerie,
as if it concealed unpredictable dangers.
Tan Yun knew well
that this place was the
Oblivion Lake Palace.
A massive underwater palace
located at the bottom of a lake spanning tens of thousands of li.
According to the information recorded in the map and jade slips,
in ancient times,
sacred dragons and demonic dragons
once lived in that palace.
Even if Tan Yun failed to meet
Mu Mengyi and Xue Ziyan
at the Sunset Forest,
he would definitely not enter the Oblivion Lake Palace right now
to search for traces of the Golden Dragon and Demonic Dragons.
Because within this lake,
there might be Level 2 demonic beasts living there.
And with his current strength,
if he encountered one,
the situation would become extremely dangerous.
Another 7 days passed.
The evening sky gradually darkened.
The Blood-Winged Spirit Lion had already flown into the center of the deep lake.
Suddenly,
Tan Yun, who had been sitting cross-legged in meditation,
his expression changed drastically.
Startled,
he opened his eyes immediately.
His spiritual sense had detected
that 5,000 feet beneath the water surface
a pair of eyes had appeared.
Those eyes were as large as pot lids,
like the gaze of death.
Beneath the shimmering water surface,
a massive dark-red shadow
could be seen
twisting and coiling in segments,
appearing and disappearing beneath the water.
The sight was extremely chilling.
With its sharp senses,
the Blood-Winged Spirit Lion also sensed the abnormal movement on the water surface.
When it faced those giant eyes,
it could not help but let out a low growl.
Demonic power surged from its wings,
causing its flying speed to increase dramatically!
“Splash! Splash! Splash!”
As the Blood-Winged Spirit Lion accelerated,
the owner of those blood-colored eyes
began swimming rapidly
through the turbulent waves!
Soon—
“WHOOSH!”
A towering blue wave shot into the sky!
A gigantic serpent demon beast
3 zhang thick
and more than 200 zhang long
with blood-red scales covering its entire body
burst out of the lake
like a massive crimson pillar of light!
It shot straight into the sky,
ferociously chasing the Blood-Winged Spirit Lion!
Its mouth opened wide like a house,
revealing terrifying razor-sharp fangs.
Suddenly,
a massive vortex storm formed around its body!
Its speed in the air
was at least 10 times faster than the Blood-Winged Spirit Lion!
