The Supreme Being Against Heaven

Murong Kun could only watch as Tan Yun was rescued right before his eyes.

Rage instantly erupted in his chest!

Hatred!

Since the day he was born,

he had never hated any woman as much as he did today!

In his heart,

he almost wanted to

violate Zhong Wu Shiyao, torment her until she was broken, then kill her and tear her body into pieces!

“Zhong Wu Shiyao!”

“I, Murong Kun, swear!”

“One day… you will pay the price for what you did today!”

After cursing in anger,

the image of Zhong Wu Shiyao’s beautiful and well-proportioned body appeared in his mind.

A flash of lust passed through his eyes.

But not long after,

he thought of Linghu Changkong, who had always opposed him.

Murong Kun revealed a sinister smile.

“You’ve always wanted Zhong Wu Shiyao, haven’t you…”

“I’ll capture her!”

“After I’ve played with her to my heart’s content… I’ll kill her!”

Just as Murong Kun was thinking about how to deal with Zhong Wu Shiyao and Tan Yun,

suddenly,

the sound of something cutting through the air came from above!

Whoosh!

A man rode down rapidly on a flying sword,

landing in front of Murong Kun.

That person was Liu Rulong.

He clasped his hands in salute,

his eyes red.

“Senior Brother Murong… where is Tan Yun?”

“Hmph!”

Murong Kun stared coldly at Liu Rulong,

then spoke in a low voice.

“Kneel.”

Liu Rulong froze immediately.

His face was full of confusion.

He could not understand why Murong Kun was angry with him.

“Liu Rulong!”

Murong Kun roared.

“Are you deaf?!”

“I told you to kneel!”

“Yes, sir!”

Liu Rulong showed no emotion.

Gritting his teeth and enduring the humiliation,

he knelt down in front of Murong Kun.

Then he spoke in confusion.

“I do not know what mistake I have made. Please enlighten me.”

Smack!

Murong Kun slapped Liu Rulong fiercely across the face!

“Senior Brother Murong…”

Liu Rulong lowered his head,

clenching his teeth.

“Why are you beating your subordinate?”

Murong Kun lifted his foot

and stomped heavily on Liu Rulong’s cheek,

pressing his head firmly against the ground,

before roaring angrily.

“I was just about to kill Tan Yun!”

“But your good little sister came and saved him!”

“What?!”

Liu Rulong’s face twisted in anger.

His head pressed against the ground trembled violently.

“Senior Brother Murong, that’s impossible!”

“Tan Yun is my enemy!”

“Shiyao would never help him!”

“Liu Rulong!”

Murong Kun roared furiously,

pressing his foot harder onto his cheek,

while lowering his sword to Liu Rulong’s temple.

“You dare doubt my words?!”

“Look at the sword wound on my chest!”

“This was all done by that woman!”

Liu Rulong immediately trembled.

“Senior Brother Murong, please calm your anger…”

“I was wrong. I should not have doubted you…”

Murong Kun sheathed his sword,

then looked down at Liu Rulong from above,

his voice full of disdain.

“Remember this well.”

“The reason I treat you well…”

“is because you are my loyal dog!”

“If you fail to recognize your place…”

“you, your adoptive father, and your master…”

“will all die!”

“You may doubt my strength.”

“But never doubt my grandfather’s power!”

Liu Rulong hurriedly kowtowed in fear,

his forehead repeatedly hitting the ground.

“This subordinate will not dare again!”

“This subordinate knows his mistake!”

“Stand up!”

Murong Kun pulled him to his feet.

Then,

a red flash appeared from his Qiankun Ring.

He took out a red medicine bottle

and handed it to Liu Rulong.

His tone allowed no refusal.

“This contains Soul-Sealing Powder.”

“Before the trial ends…”

“find a way to make Zhong Wu Shiyao take it.”

“Then bring her to me.”

“Do you understand?”

Liu Rulong’s body trembled.

The hand reaching for the bottle

froze in mid-air.

Murong Kun narrowed his eyes.

“What?”

“You don’t happen to be unwilling

to let your sister become my woman, do you?”

Liu Rulong immediately took the bottle.

Lowering his head respectfully,

he bowed.

“This subordinate… is more than willing.”

Murong Kun chuckled softly.

“Very good.”

“I’ll wait for your news in the valley.”

Then his expression turned cold.

“If you fail to handle this matter…”

“you know very well what will happen!”

After saying that,

Murong Kun stepped onto his flying sword

and flew deep into the valley.

Not long after,

his figure disappeared.

After Murong Kun had gone far away,

Liu Rulong clenched his fists tightly.

His nails dug into his palms until blood seeped out.

He murmured in a low voice,

filled with confusion and pain.

“Shiyao…”

“Why did you help Tan Yun…”

“Why…”

He felt both anger and confusion!

When he thought about Murong Kun’s order

forcing him to let the woman he loved

be toyed with at will,

Liu Rulong’s heart filled with resentment and unwillingness!

“No…”

“Shiyao is my sister, and even more… she is the woman I love!”

“I cannot let Murong Kun defile her…”

Liu Rulong’s eyes were filled with determination.

But soon after,

that determination began to hesitate.

Slowly,

it turned into ruthlessness.

The hand he had clenched slowly relaxed.

He muttered to himself.

“I cannot oppose Murong Kun…”

“Otherwise, once we enter the Inner Sect…”

“will I still have any way to survive?”

“Heh… heh…”

Liu Rulong laughed bitterly,

trying to comfort himself.

“It’s just a woman…”

“I can’t destroy my future because of her.”

“When I become powerful in the future…”

“I can find any kind of woman I want!”

…

30 minutes later

Murong Kun hurried back to the Withered Wood Stream.

He shouted loudly,

“Stop your closed-door cultivation!”

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

The disciples who were cultivating in the valley

quickly rushed out in confusion.

Before long,

they gathered near the bushes beside the stream,

together with another 50 disciples who were not cultivating.

In total,

there were 223 people.

Everyone stood respectfully in front of Murong Kun.

Murong Kun swept his gaze across the crowd

before speaking in a firm voice.

“From now on…”

“all of you must go out and search for Wind Spirit Pools and Lightning Spirit Pools.”

“Then bring them back to me!”

“Only those who obtain any of the following—”

1 Supreme-grade Spirit Pool

3 High-grade Spirit Pools

5 Mid-grade Spirit Pools

“—and hand them over to me…”

“will be allowed to enter closed-door cultivation!”

All the disciples immediately responded together.

“We obey!”

Just as everyone was about to leave,

Murong Kun ordered 1 person to remain here

to wait for the 490 people who had gone out to hunt Tan Yun to return.

After that,

they would go search for Spirit Pools together.

After arranging everything,

Murong Kun returned to the cave he had dug into the mountainside

and immediately began closed-door cultivation.

The reason he was in such a hurry

was because

Tan Yun’s cultivation speed was simply too fast!

He was worried that

if he did not raise his power level quickly enough,

then the next time he encountered Tan Yun,

the one who might die…

could be himself!

…

The sun was setting beyond the horizon.

A cold wind whistled through the valley.

Ancient Desolate Valley No. 1

Inside a cave,

Linghu Changkong sat cross-legged.

Both of his hands formed a cultivation seal in front of his chest.

Streams of spiritual power flowed out from his palms,

lifting a milky-white Spirit Pool suspended in the air.

Inside the Spirit Pool,

a strand of Spirit Essence was swimming.

Thin streams of milky-white spiritual energy

slowly flowed out of the Spirit Pool

and drifted into

the Spirit Sea between his eyebrows.

Cultivators in the Nascent Soul Realm

possessed 2 defining abilities:

Shrinking the ground into 1 cun

and

controlling objects from a distance.

The scene of Linghu Changkong releasing spiritual power

to control the floating Spirit Pool before him

was precisely a technique

that only cultivators of this realm could perform.

It was called

Object Control through Divine Sense.

In other words,

releasing spiritual power or spiritual consciousness

to control objects from a distance.

Clearly,

Linghu Changkong had already stepped into the 1st level of the Nascent Soul Realm!

And the Spirit Pool he was currently refining

was

a Supreme-grade Ancient Spirit Pool!

This meant that

the first Nascent Soul he condensed within his Spirit Sea

would be

a Supreme-grade Ancient Nascent Soul!

Tap… Tap…

Footsteps sounded outside the cave.

A male disciple walked in respectfully.

He placed 1 High-grade Ancient Spirit Pool in front of Linghu Changkong

before speaking softly.

“Senior Brother Linghu…”

“This is the 2nd High-grade Ancient Spirit Pool that I have found.”

“I have brought it to you.”

Linghu Changkong kept his eyes closed

while continuing to refine the Spirit Pool.

He spoke calmly.

“Mm.”

“Your mission is complete.”

“You may go into closed-door cultivation.”

“Thank you, Senior Brother Linghu!”

The disciple was about to turn and leave the cave.

But suddenly,

Linghu Changkong’s calm voice sounded again.

“Pass on my order.”

“All disciples who have already broken through to the 1st level of the Nascent Soul Realm…”

“must search with all their strength for Tan Yun and Mu Mengyi.”

“If 3 months pass and they are still not found…”

“stop searching.”

“So that Tan Yun will not break through to the Nascent Soul Realm first.”

“Otherwise, you will not be his match.”

At this moment,

Linghu Changkong, who possessed an Ancient Nascent Soul,

was filled with confidence and arrogance.

He believed that

as long as he continued refining Ancient Spirit Pools,

his future cultivation level

would definitely surpass Tan Yun!

If 3 months passed without any news of Tan Yun,

Linghu Changkong believed that

as long as Tan Yun was still alive,

then on the day when the Mustard Seed Space-Time Tower opened,

he would definitely go to

the Ruined City.

And on that day…

it would be Tan Yun’s day of death.
