The Supreme Being Against Heaven
Chapter Summary
Suddenly, its gigantic mouth, as large as a house, expanded 3 times in size before biting fiercely toward the Blood-Winged Spirit Lion! In the next instant, the Blood-Winged Spirit Lion burst out from the Beast Storage Bag at his waist, spread its wings wide, and caught Tan Yun in midair! “I was very lucky.” “I was sent directly to the Sunset Forest.” “After killing 1 Level 1 Tribulation-Transcending demonic beast, I’ve been cultivating in seclusion here ever since.” Her eyes were filled with ho...
“Damn it! A Frenzied Storm Blood Serpent!”
Tan Yun roared loudly, his back soaked with cold sweat.
“Big guy! It’s a Level 2 growth-stage demonic beast. It can use the power of storms to greatly increase its speed for a short time! Fly upward as fast as possible! The higher the better!”
“ROAR!”
The Blood-Winged Spirit Lion flapped its wings frantically. Demonic power burst out from its body as it shot upward into the sky at great speed!
“Hiss! Hiss! Hiss!”
The Frenzied Storm Blood Serpent flicked its forked tongue that was more than 10 zhang long and rushed into the sky in pursuit with astonishing speed!
When the Blood-Winged Spirit Lion flew up to a height of 40 li,
the Frenzied Storm Blood Serpent appeared only 100 zhang below them!
Suddenly,
its gigantic mouth, as large as a house,
expanded 3 times in size
before biting fiercely toward the Blood-Winged Spirit Lion!
“Big guy! Get into the Beast Storage Bag!”
Tan Yun shouted hoarsely, his entire body drenched in sweat.
In the split second he stored the Blood-Winged Spirit Lion into the Beast Storage Bag,
the spiritual power throughout his body exploded!
He used the movement technique:
Hongmeng Divine Step!
“SWISH! SWISH! SWISH—!”
Tan Yun’s figure flickered rapidly in midair,
moving up, down, left, and right
without any predictable pattern.
At that extreme speed,
it looked as if dozens of Tan Yuns
were simultaneously dodging the serpent’s bite!
“SWISH!”
Tan Yun broke out in cold sweat.
While dodging,
his vision suddenly darkened.
In the next instant,
he felt a burning pain across his back.
Although he avoided being swallowed whole,
the enormous fangs of the Frenzied Storm Blood Serpent
tore apart the silk robe on his back,
leaving behind a deep wound down to the bone!
At the same time,
a terrifying suction force from the serpent’s throat surged toward him!
Tan Yun knew clearly—
if he were pulled into its stomach,
with the strength of his current body,
he would be rapidly dissolved by its digestive fluids!
“ROAR!”
Tan Yun let out a roar like a ferocious beast.
With a swift flick of his wrist,
a low-grade spiritual weapon flying sword
appeared in his hand!
A sword light over 20 feet long
slashed violently toward the giant mouth that was about to close!
At the same time,
Tan Yun followed the path of the sword light
with lightning speed!
“SLASH!”
Blood splattered across the sky!
The brilliant sword light
pierced straight through the mouth of the Frenzied Storm Blood Serpent!
In the next second,
Tan Yun’s battered body
successfully burst out!
“HISSS—!”
The Frenzied Storm Blood Serpent let out a horrifying wail.
It glared at Tan Yun with vicious hatred.
Its enormous body over 200 zhang long twisted violently in the air
before charging at him again!
But suddenly,
the vortex storm surrounding its body
disappeared!
Its eyes stared at Tan Yun with resentment,
before its massive body over 200 zhang long
fell straight down into the lake below!
“Big guy!”
Tan Yun, who was seriously injured,
shouted while his body was falling from the sky.
In the next instant,
the Blood-Winged Spirit Lion
burst out from the Beast Storage Bag at his waist,
spread its wings wide,
and caught Tan Yun in midair!
“UGH!”
Tan Yun spat out a mouthful of blood.
His face turned pale,
and his body rolled across the lion’s back.
A wound more than 1 foot long on his back was torn wide open,
blood pouring out endlessly,
revealing the bones inside!
Within just a few breaths,
Tan Yun’s face, neck, and entire body
turned pitch black.
It was obvious that
the fangs of the Frenzied Storm Blood Serpent
contained extremely deadly poison!
However,
not long after,
the black poisonous mist covering Tan Yun’s body
began to fade
like fog blown away by the wind.
After 30 minutes,
Tan Yun’s face returned to its previous pale color.
His body,
which had been tempered by the
Primordial Hongmeng Sacred Liquid,
possessed a special ability to resist all kinds of poison.
Currently,
Tan Yun was only at the peak of
Hongmeng Emperor Body Stage 1.
When his body became stronger in the future,
he would be able to completely resist the most terrifying poisons in heaven and earth!
“Ha… ha…”
Tan Yun gasped heavily,
sweat covering his entire body.
His eyes were still filled with lingering fear from the recent battle.
With his strength almost completely exhausted,
Tan Yun sat cross-legged on the back of the Blood-Winged Spirit Lion
and began circulating his cultivation technique
while healing his injuries.
Meanwhile,
the still-shaken Blood-Winged Spirit Lion
slightly reduced its speed
and flew cautiously high in the sky.
Time passed quickly.
7 days later,
the Blood-Winged Spirit Lion spent 14 days
flying across the enormous lake with a radius of more than 100,000 li.
The moment it flew past the edge of the lake,
it could not help but release a long roar.
During that entire time,
its nerves had remained constantly tense,
because they frequently encountered
Level 1 Tribulation-Transcending flying demonic beasts
in the sky,
which made it extremely nervous.
5 days ago,
Tan Yun’s back wound
had completely healed.
At this moment,
he was wearing a brand-new silk robe
and stood with his hands behind his back
on top of the lion’s head.
His gaze looked toward
an endless ancient forest
hundreds of li away.
His eyes were filled with deep longing.
That ancient forest…
That place was
the Sunset Forest.
The trees in this forest
were all as tall as mountains,
standing between heaven and earth.
Their dense foliage
completely blocked out the sunlight.
Even when the sun blazed overhead,
its rays could not penetrate through.
Because of this,
Huangfu Shengzong, the ancestor of the Huangfu Sacred Sect,
named this forest
the Sunset Forest.
Since the day Tan Yun broke through to the Great Perfection Realm in Valley 13,
he had been traveling continuously
on the Blood-Winged Spirit Lion.
In total,
he spent 48 days
before finally arriving at the Sunset Forest.
Although he cultivated occasionally along the way,
he still could not even touch the barrier
of the Nascent Soul Realm.
When the Blood-Winged Spirit Lion flew closer to the entrance of the Sunset Forest,
Tan Yun felt even more clearly
the grandeur of the forest
and the wonders of nature.
After flying another several hundred li,
the Blood-Winged Spirit Lion folded its wings
and landed steadily outside the forest.
“Tan Yun!”
The moment Tan Yun stepped down from the lion’s back,
a familiar and pleasant female voice
entered his ears.
He immediately turned around
and saw a woman in red robes
standing gracefully beneath a giant boulder about 100 zhang away.
She looked at him with eyes full of affection
before running straight toward him.
“Mengyi!”
Tan Yun rushed across the grass toward her
and tightly embraced Mu Mengyi.
His arms wrapped around her slender waist,
lifting her up happily.
After being separated for some time,
the longing they felt for each other
only made their feelings grow even deeper.
After Tan Yun put Mu Mengyi down,
the young woman pursed her lips,
stood on her tiptoes,
and gently kissed Tan Yun on the cheek.
Then she spoke softly,
“I missed you so much…”
“Me too.”
Tan Yun held her face in his hands
and lowered his head to give her a deep kiss.
Mu Mengyi sighed softly,
a trace of worry appearing on her face.
“Tan Yun… what should we do?”
“Ziyan still hasn’t arrived.”
Tan Yun comforted her gently.
“Don’t worry. Let’s wait a little longer.”
“The trial area spans 980,000 li.”
“If Ziyan was sent to a distant place from the beginning,
it’s normal that she hasn’t arrived yet.”
“I know that…”
Mu Mengyi said with a worried expression.
“But my heart keeps beating so fast.”
“I’m just afraid that… she might run into Linghu Changkong or Murong Kun.”
Tan Yun held her in his arms
and said confidently,
“Don’t overthink it.”
“Ziyan is someone blessed with good fortune.”
“She will definitely be safe.”
“Mm…”
Mu Mengyi nodded gently.
Then she asked softly,
“When did you break through to the Great Perfection Realm?”
“37 days ago,”
Tan Yun replied with a smile.
“And how long will it take for you to break through to the Nascent Soul Realm?”
Mu Mengyi smiled faintly.
“I was very lucky.”
“I was sent directly to the Sunset Forest.”
“After killing 1 Level 1 Tribulation-Transcending demonic beast,
I’ve been cultivating in seclusion here ever since.”
Her eyes were filled with hope as she continued,
“If nothing unexpected happens,
then at most in 1 month,
I should be able to enter Stage 1 of the Nascent Soul Realm.”
Tan Yun could not help but admire her talent.
Then,
he pointed to an open space about 5 zhang wide
beneath a nearby giant boulder
and said,
“In that case, let’s cultivate in seclusion there together.”
“And wait for Ziyan to arrive.”
Just as Mu Mengyi was about to reply,
suddenly—
a shout came from the distance.
“Mu Mengyi! Tan Yun!”
“Even if you hide anywhere, you won’t escape the grasp of Senior Brother Murong!”
Another voice shouted right after,
“Listen carefully, everyone!”
“Xue Ziyan has already been captured by Senior Brother Murong’s group!”
“HAHAHA!”
“If you hear this, come out immediately!”
“Otherwise…”
“She will definitely die!”
