The Supreme Being Against Heaven
Chapter Summary
“I’ll go find Ziyan first.” “If the situation allows… I’ll break through to the Nascent Soul Realm first, then go rescue her!” After making up his mind, Tan Yun turned to look at the 9 disciples whose ears and genitalia had been cut off. So what if I am cruel!” “Even if heaven curses me to die, I will still live!” “So what value do your curses have!” After saying that, Tan Yun controlled the spirit boat and descended toward a mountain. After that, Tan Yun controlled the spirit boat and soared in...
“Wasn’t Senior Brother supposed to be cultivating in seclusion here? Why isn’t he here?”
Zhong Wushiyao murmured in confusion.
Then she stepped onto her flying sword, soaring past the towering peaks while releasing her spiritual sense to search for Liu Rulong’s location…
At the same time,
in the sky covered by a vast sea of clouds,
a spirit boat was rapidly sailing through the clouds.
Suddenly,
Tan Yun, who had been sitting cross-legged on the spirit boat, opened his eyes.
His star-like eyes were filled with excitement that he could hardly conceal.
54 days had passed.
At last, he had successfully sensed the barrier of the Nascent Soul Realm!
Now,
he only needed to enter seclusion once more,
and he would be able to break through to the Nascent Soul Realm!
“I’ll go find Ziyan first.”
“If the situation allows… I’ll break through to the Nascent Soul Realm first, then go rescue her!”
After making up his mind,
Tan Yun turned to look at the 9 disciples whose ears and genitalia had been cut off.
Then he asked indifferently,
“How far is it from here to the Withered Wood Valley?”
One of them answered with a trembling voice,
“Senior Brother Tan, there are still about 3,000 li left. At the spirit boat’s speed, we will arrive in about 2 hours…”
After finishing speaking,
he immediately knelt down.
“Senior Brother Tan, please spare our lives!”
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The other 8 also hurriedly knelt and kowtowed, begging for mercy.
6 days ago,
they had insulted Mu Mengyi with their words.
Therefore, they were terrified that Tan Yun would kill them!
“Senior Brother Tan, we spoke carelessly back then. We shouldn’t have disrespected Senior Sister Mu!”
“Please be magnanimous and spare us!”
“Yes, Senior Brother Tan, we truly know we were wrong…”
The begging voices of the 9 people rang out continuously.
Yet Tan Yun’s smile grew colder and more chilling.
“Mengyi is my woman.”
“You dared to offend her… and you still think I would spare you?”
Suddenly,
one disciple shouted frantically,
“He cultivates an eye technique! Don’t look into his eyes!”
“Run! Whoever escapes survives!”
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The bodies of the 9 people were wrapped in spiritual power as they shot into the sky.
Just as they were about to leap off the spirit boat—
suddenly,
Tan Yun’s figure, which had been sitting cross-legged, vanished instantly!
Almost at the same moment,
9 shadows along with sharp flashes of sword light slashed toward their legs!
Slash! Slash!
Blood-stained sword light swept through the air.
The legs of all 9 people were severed simultaneously!
The severed legs flew away,
while their bodies crashed onto the spirit boat with miserable screams!
Realizing Tan Yun had no intention of sparing them,
the 9 people began crying and cursing madly.
“Tan Yun, you cruel bastard! You will die a miserable death!”
“Tan Yun, I curse your entire clan to perish!”
“Tan Yun, you are not human—you are a demon!”
“…”
Hearing their curses,
Tan Yun’s gaze grew even colder.
He spoke firmly,
“Since the day I entered the Huangfu Sacred Sect,
I have never provoked anyone first.”
“But what happened?”
“Your masters and their lackeys kept trying to kill me again and again!”
He laughed coldly.
“And now you say I’m cruel?”
“Fine! So what if I am cruel!”
“Even if heaven curses me to die, I will still live!”
“So what value do your curses have!”
After saying that,
Tan Yun controlled the spirit boat and descended toward a mountain.
He quickly used his sword to carve open 1 cave on the mountainside.
Then he tapped several vital points on the bodies of the 9 people in succession,
making them unable to move and unable to speak!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Tan Yun threw all 9 people into the cave.
Then he sneered,
“If I didn’t want Murong Kun to learn about your deaths too soon…”
“I would have already killed you all!”
Amid gazes filled with despair, anger, and terror,
Tan Yun lifted a massive boulder and sealed the cave entrance,
leaving the 9 people trapped inside… to wait for death slowly.
After that,
Tan Yun controlled the spirit boat and soared into the sky again,
heading toward Withered Wood Valley, which was 3,000 li away.
About 2 hours later,
when the spirit boat was only 100 li away from the valley,
Tan Yun controlled it to descend into the forest,
then stored it inside his Qiankun Ring.
Tan Yun, who was highly skilled in artifact refining, could tell at a glance that this spirit boat was only a high-grade spirit weapon.
Its flying speed was even slower than his Blood-Winged Spirit Lion when it used its full strength.
However, Tan Yun now needed a large amount of wealth to buy the necessities required for cultivation.
Therefore, he kept the spirit boat,
planning to sell it later to outer sect disciples.
At this moment,
Tan Yun guessed that Murong Kun might not be far from Xue Ziyan.
Moreover, he was worried that after breaking through to the Nascent Soul Realm, Murong Kun’s spiritual sense might be stronger than his.
Therefore,
Tan Yun used the Black Tortoise Breath Concealment Technique, calming his mind and suppressing his aura completely.
Then he moved silently toward Withered Wood Valley, which was 100 li away.
After about 2 ke (≈ 30 minutes),
Tan Yun began climbing the cliff of the valley.
Not long after…
He hid himself halfway up the mountainside of a peak, then slowly poked his head out and carefully looked down below.
Below was a valley several thousand chi deep.
Tan Yun’s eyes swept across every tree and patch of grass within the valley.
Suddenly—
his heart tightened!
He saw Xue Ziyan lying motionless on the ground within the withered forest.
Her face was pale, her body weak, as if her life were hanging by a thread.
Outside the withered forest,
on a meadow filled with wildflowers,
50 disciples, all at the great perfection stage of the Spirit Embryo Realm, were sitting together chatting and laughing happily.
Tan Yun was extremely worried about Xue Ziyan’s safety.
His heart was filled with anxiety.
But he did not dare to recklessly use his spiritual sense to investigate the 50 disciples,
because he suspected that Murong Kun might be not far from them!
After forcing himself to calm down,
Tan Yun listened carefully.
However, the distance was too far; he could barely hear anything.
At that moment,
a loud burst of laughter from one disciple suddenly rang out.
The voice clearly reached Tan Yun’s ears.
“Hahaha! Junior Sister Xue, Senior Brother Murong already gave the order!”
“If after 2 days there is still no sign of Tan Yun, you will be executed!”
Another disciple laughed obscenely.
“Heh heh… Junior Sister Xue, I bet you’re still a virgin, right?”
“Do you know what the most intoxicating thing in the world is…”
“You’re going to die soon anyway. Why not let us help you experience the pleasures of the mortal world first?”
“I guarantee you’ll taste ultimate pleasure!”
“If one person isn’t enough… all of us can help you, little Xue…”
Upon hearing this,
Tan Yun’s fists clenched tightly.
His eyes turned icy cold.
At the same time,
amid the crowd’s laughter,
Xue Ziyan’s weak voice of cursing sounded from time to time.
“You beasts…”
“One day you will be struck by lightning and die miserably…”
Tan Yun stared at Xue Ziyan with firm determination.
“A friend in distress… I must save her, no matter the cost!”
In an instant,
faint golden spiritual power burst out from his body,
forming a powerful gust of wind.
Tan Yun stepped on the steep cliff and leapt down toward the withered valley that was thousands of chi deep!
From a distance,
one could only see a blurred shadow, like a ghost,
plunging down from the cliff!
A distance of 1,000 chi
was crossed in only a few breaths!
The 50 disciples who were sitting cross-legged
only felt a violent gust of wind sweep over their heads.
In the next second,
Tan Yun appeared within the withered forest.
He immediately lifted the still-stunned Xue Ziyan into his arms.
Xue Ziyan’s beautiful eyes widened.
She stared at Tan Yun,
trying to suppress the joy in her heart before urgently saying,
“Murong Kun has already broken through to the Nascent Soul Realm!”
“He is currently cultivating in a cave not far away!”
Upon hearing this,
Tan Yun’s heart immediately sank.
He then quickly turned around,
his deep crimson eyes, terrifying and profound, sweeping across the disciples.
The moment those disciples met Tan Yun’s gaze,
a roar suddenly exploded within their souls!
Instantly,
all 50 people froze like statues,
their expressions blank and unresponsive!
Tan Yun held Xue Ziyan in his arms.
Originally, he intended to ignore those people’s lives and escape immediately.
But at that very moment,
he suddenly felt the Primordial Flame sleeping in his right palm begin to tremble continuously.
Tan Yun knew very well that
the Primordial Flame would only react like this
when it sensed a Fire Element Seed!
Suddenly,
Tan Yun felt heat rising from beneath his feet.
A stream of scorching energy was surging upward from the ground.
In an instant,
Tan Yun understood.
Deep beneath the rock layers of this withered forest…
a fire element was hidden there! ?
