The Supreme Being Against Heaven
Chapter Summary
Everyone turned around at the same time, their eyes widening in shock as they looked toward a solitary peak standing tall in the middle of the mountain stream, hundreds of zhang away! His gaze glanced toward Xue Ziyan as he said indifferently, “Let her live for another 5 days.” “If after 5 days there is still no news of Tan Yun and those 2, then kill her.” Then he continued coldly, “Since there’s still no trace of those 2 bastards, I’ll go find them myself!” After breaking through to the Nascent...
While several male disciples were about to open their mouths to tease Xue Ziyan, they suddenly seemed to sense something. Everyone turned around at the same time, their eyes widening in shock as they looked toward a solitary peak standing tall in the middle of the mountain stream, hundreds of zhang away!
Boom!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Continuous explosions rang out without pause. On the mountainside of that solitary peak, hundreds of towering ancient trees within a radius of 100 zhang seemed to be swept by an invisible mysterious force, exploding one after another!
Suddenly, thick red-white lightning bolts as wide as a bowl spread across the mountainside within a 100-zhang radius, like thunder serpents wildly writhing and expanding. The power was terrifying!
“That’s the place where Senior Brother Murong is cultivating in seclusion! It looks like he has broken through to Level 1 of the Nascent Soul Realm!”
“That’s right! And it’s a Lightning-type Nascent Soul too. That’s a top-tier talent!”
“Senior Brother Murong is truly amazing!”
“…”
Amid the shocked exclamations, the 223 male and female disciples all widened their eyes, because what happened next shook their hearts violently!
“So this… is the power of the Nascent Soul Realm? It’s unbelievably strong!”
An excited voice sounded.
Everyone saw a whirlwind more than 10 zhang high forming on the mountainside, and at the top of that whirlwind… stood Murong Kun!
He seemed like the lord of the wind, standing on the whirlwind as he shot toward the crowd at high speed!
“Unbelievable! Senior Brother Murong has both a Wind Nascent Soul and a Lightning Nascent Soul!”
“Heavens! Senior Brother Murong’s talent is simply too monstrous!”
“…”
Everyone looked up at Murong Kun flying with the wind, their eyes filled with admiration and awe.
As Murong Kun flew closer, the whirlwind beneath his feet gradually dissipated. He uttered a single word:
“Sacrifice!”
Immediately, a flash of white light burst out from his Qiankun Ring.
A low-grade spirit weapon flying sword traced a graceful arc through the air before hovering steadily beneath his feet.
This was the Flying Sword Control Technique, something only cultivators who had broken through from the Spirit Embryo Realm to the Nascent Soul Realm could use!
Moreover, after entering this realm, every time a cultivator advanced a level, their flying speed would increase further.
Soon,
Murong Kun hovered above everyone on his flying sword. A gentle and warm smile hung on his face, yet deep inside it was filled with extreme arrogance.
“Congratulations, Senior Brother Murong!”
“Congratulations, Senior Brother Murong!”
All the disciples cupped their fists in salute, bowing deeply while shouting in unison. Their voices echoed throughout the entire valley!
“Mmm.”
Murong Kun looked down at the crowd and nodded slightly.
“Still no news of Tan Yun and Mu Mengyi?”
“Reporting to Senior Brother Murong, there is still no news!” everyone answered together.
Murong Kun frowned slightly. His gaze glanced toward Xue Ziyan as he said indifferently,
“Let her live for another 5 days.”
“If after 5 days there is still no news of Tan Yun and those 2, then kill her.”
Then he continued coldly,
“Since there’s still no trace of those 2 bastards, I’ll go find them myself!”
After breaking through to the Nascent Soul Realm, and possessing both Wind and Lightning Nascent Souls—top-tier talents—
Murong Kun’s confidence and strength had skyrocketed tremendously!
In his eyes now, Tan Yun and Mu Mengyi were hardly different from ants.
“Yes, Senior Brother Murong!”
After everyone acknowledged the order,
Murong Kun ordered 50 disciples who had not yet broken through to the Nascent Soul Realm to continue guarding and watching Xue Ziyan.
As for the remaining disciples, they were to immediately enter secluded cultivation and attempt to break through to the Nascent Soul Realm as soon as possible.
After receiving the order,
3 disciples hurried forward, bowing respectfully as they presented treasures to Murong Kun.
They were:
1 Mid-grade Wind Spirit Spring
and 1 High-grade Lightning Spirit Spring.
Murong Kun accepted both with a smile before controlling his flying sword and flying more than 300 zhang away.
Then he used his power to open a cave on the cliff at the foot of the mountain and stepped inside,
to begin refining the power of the spirit springs.
Night soon arrived.
300 li away from Murong Kun’s cave, on the summit of a mountain, amid the endlessly swirling spiritual energy of heaven and earth,
Liu Rulong and Zhong Wushiyao sat cross-legged cultivating about 100 zhang apart.
Suddenly,
Liu Rulong’s hair began to flutter upward, and the blurred phantom of a ferocious demonic beast flashed above his head!
In the blink of an eye,
the aura of the Nascent Soul Realm spread out from his body, causing the space within a 30-zhang radius to tremble!
If someone could see through the space between his eyebrows into his spiritual pool, they would discover that
inside it, the 1st Spirit Embryo, which had once been dried up like an abandoned well, had now transformed into a Nascent Soul that looked exactly like him!
That meant—
he had completely stepped into Level 1 of the Nascent Soul Realm!
The Nascent Soul sat cross-legged peacefully with its eyes closed, like a stone statue within his spiritual pool.
“High-tier talent… Beast Nascent Soul!”
Liu Rulong stood up in excitement, standing tall on the mountain peak, his eyes filled with uncontrollable exhilaration.
The reason the Beast Soul was considered a high-tier talent was because
every time a cultivator in the Nascent Soul Realm successfully refined a Spirit Embryo into a Beast Nascent Soul,
their combat power would double!
When all 10 Spirit Embryos were refined into 10 Beast Nascent Souls, reaching the perfect completion of the Nascent Soul Realm,
that cultivator’s combat power would increase by a terrifying 10 times!
And more importantly—
after entering the Soul Refinement Realm, cultivators can absorb the souls of demonic beasts and refine them to strengthen themselves!
This is one of the unique cultivation methods for those who possess a Beast Soul.
Liu Rulong clasped his hands behind his back and gazed at the surging sea of clouds ahead before speaking with boundless pride,
“Heaven has shown mercy to me and bestowed a Beast Soul upon me!”
“From today onward, on my path of the Dao… I will surely ascend toward immortality!”
At this point, his tone suddenly changed.
A deep sorrow appeared in his eyes as he murmured softly,
“Father… Mother… Little Sister…”
“Rest assured. I will kill Tan Yun, destroy the Tan Clan, and avenge you…”
Before Liu Rulong could finish speaking,
suddenly—
he felt a bone-piercing chill surging from behind him!
When he turned around,
Liu Rulong’s pupils instantly shrank!
He saw that
from the body of Zhong Wushiyao, who was sitting cross-legged cultivating, an intense cold aura was spreading outward!
Everywhere that cold aura passed,
the ground rapidly froze!
Within just a few breaths,
the area within a 100-zhang radius around Zhong Wushiyao was covered in ice more than 1 chi thick.
The crystal-clear ice made Zhong Wushiyao look like an Ice Goddess, possessing unparalleled beauty.
“Judging from Wushiyao’s aura… it shouldn’t be a Water Element Soul…”
Liu Rulong murmured before his body trembled.
“Could it be…”
“some kind of Sacred Body equivalent to a high-tier talent?!”
While Liu Rulong was still in shock,
what happened next stunned him even more!
Hummm—
Zhong Wushiyao sat cross-legged on the frozen ground, her black hair fluttering.
Suddenly,
the space within a 100-zhang radius began to tremble violently!
It was as if an invisible power was binding the space itself.
At times it trembled, at times it twisted!
“This is… a Space Soul inside a Sacred Spirit Embryo!”
Liu Rulong exclaimed in shock.
Inside his heart, it was as if monstrous waves were surging wildly!
He had never expected that
Zhong Wushiyao, who possessed a Sacred Body equivalent to a high-tier talent,
would also have a high-tier Space Soul within her Spirit Embryo!
One must know—
those with top-tier talent appear only 1 in 10,000 people.
As for someone with talent like Zhong Wushiyao,
even among 30,000 cultivators, there might not be 1 person like her!
What shocked him even more was that
the reason he was able to break through to the Nascent Soul Realm in just 51 days
was because before the trial began,
Murong Kun had received a batch of high-grade Nascent Soul Pills from his grandfather and gave 1 pill to Liu Rulong.
But—
Zhong Wushiyao had not taken a Nascent Soul Pill at all!
“Hahaha!”
Liu Rulong burst into laughter with delight.
“Wushiyao! Congratulations!”
Zhong Wushiyao slowly opened her eyes. Her beautiful eyes sparkled as she stood up with a smile.
Whoosh!
Liu Rulong lightly took 3 steps forward.
Although they looked like ordinary steps,
the distance of 100 zhang was crossed in an instant!
He had already appeared in front of Zhong Wushiyao.
This was
the technique Shrinking the Earth into an Inch,
which only cultivators who had broken through from the Spirit Embryo Realm to the Nascent Soul Realm could use!
