Against The Sky Supreme

Over a million people watched as Tan Yun delayed killing Guo Zhengshou, instead humiliating him with repeated slaps. Most felt puzzled, thinking Tan Yun was going too far!

Guo Zhengshou, on the stage, had long lost his initial confidence. Each slap left his face swollen and bruised, a stark contrast to his former demeanor.

"Why doesn’t he just end it?" someone murmured in the crowd, a mix of confusion and concern in their voice.

Tan Yun’s actions stirred a variety of emotions among the spectators. Some felt sympathy for Guo Zhengshou, while others couldn’t help but admire Tan Yun’s audacity.

As the humiliation continued, the atmosphere grew tense. The spectators were uncertain whether to cheer for Tan Yun’s boldness or to pity Guo Zhengshou’s predicament.

Finally, Tan Yun raised his hand, signaling for silence. The crowd hushed, eager to hear what he had to say.

“Guo Zhengshou,” Tan Yun’s voice rang out, clear and firm, “You thought you could act recklessly without consequences? You disobeyed orders, and now you will pay the price!”

With those words, the crowd erupted in a mix of gasps and cheers. They understood now—the humiliation was a prelude to the execution.

“Those who disobey orders shall be executed without mercy!” Tan Yun declared, his eyes ablaze with determination.

In that moment, the spectators realized that Tan Yun was not just a powerful figure; he was someone who would uphold the law and principles of the Sacred Sect, no matter the cost.

As the duel reached its climax, tension mounted. Everyone held their breath, waiting for the inevitable conclusion to this spectacle of power and authority.

However, soon the crowd began to understand Tan Yun's actions.

Among the thousands of disciples in the crowd, some whispered to one another, explaining that before the trials in Fallen God Canyon began, Tan Yun had somehow offended Elder Ten.

As a result, Elder Ten had dragged Tan Yun out of the Hall of Discipline with a slap, followed by two more slaps that left Tan Yun's right cheek bloodied and swollen!

With this revelation, the crowd quickly spread the story, and they began to realize that Tan Yun was repaying the shame he had endured in the past to Elder Ten with a tenfold vengeance!

At that moment, the Outer Sect's Elder Two, Xu Gu, overheard the discussions among the disciples. With a furrowed brow, he approached Shen Qingqiu and slightly bowed, saying, “Chief Elder, Tan Yun listens to you. You should advise him to stop while he can.”

“After all, Elder Ten is an elder of the Outer Sect. If this gets out, Tan Yun might anger those above us.”

Xu Gu and Shen Qingqiu had a deep friendship, which was why he spoke up.

“Hmm.” Shen Qingqiu looked at the Duel Platform, where Tan Yun had already left Guo Zhengshou unrecognizable from the beating, and softly said, “Tan Yun, it’s about time. The nine great chiefs of the Inner Sect are on their way. It wouldn’t be good if they saw you like this.”

“Thank you for the reminder, Master.” As Tan Yun spoke, he suddenly exerted force with his right hand and struck Guo Zhengshou's bloodied head, causing it to explode!

“Crack!”

Immediately, Tan Yun crushed the ribs of the corpse and walked away from the Duel Platform without looking back.

With a wave of his hand, the Qiankun Ring on Guo Zhengshou, Qiu Yongcong, and Cao Cheng's bodies, as well as Guo Zhengshou's Top-Grade Spirit Artifact Long Knife and Medium-Grade Spirit Artifact Flying Sword, flew into Tan Yun's Qiankun Ring.

“Vroom!”

As Tan Yun walked, his hair danced in the air, and the space above him rippled slightly. He released his spiritual sense to its fullest, wanting to test how strong his soul had become after stepping into the seventh layer of the fetal soul realm and reaching the second stage of the primordial chaos dominance body!

The invisible spiritual sense shot from the top of Tan Yun's head like a transparent beam of light into the sky.

Three thousand zhang... eight thousand zhang... twenty thousand zhang... When the spiritual sense beam reached forty thousand zhang high, it continued to pierce through layers of clouds. It finally stopped at forty-six thousand six hundred sixty-six zhang above the cloud sea!
