The Supreme Being Against Heaven
Chapter Summary
“Master, my dragon soul is extremely weak now.” “I can only send you 6,000,000 li.” Then it continued, “If Master is worried about being attacked by demonic beasts along the way after we separate,” “there is no need to worry.” “I will seal 1 strand of dragon aura onto your body.” “It will protect you from attacks by all demonic beasts for 5 months.” Tan Yun nodded. “Master…” “If 1 day you miss me…” “you can look at the Golden Dragon Divine Lion.” “Because my blood will flow within its body.” “An...
Not long after,
the Heaven-Slaying Demon Ape fainted from the unbearable pain.
However,
the bones throughout its entire body
were still being slowly devoured by the black dragon bones without stopping.
At that moment,
the voice of the Golden Divine Dragon sounded respectfully.
“Master, this Divine Ring was once created by you for me in the past, so that I could use it when transforming into human form.”
“I now return it to you. I hope Master will not find it objectionable.”
The moment the voice ended,
a golden beam of light shot out from the radiant golden dragon skeleton.
It traced a beautiful arc through the air
before landing in Tan Yun’s palm,
transforming into
a golden Qiankun Ring.
On the ring were engraved 12-clawed golden dragons,
shining brilliantly.
Tan Yun held the ring tightly and sighed softly.
“How could I possibly dislike it?”
“My own Qiankun Ring is too small. With this one, it will be far more convenient.”
However,
his heart felt heavy
when he thought about the impending departure of the Golden Divine Dragon.
This Divine Ring
had originally been created by Tan Yun himself in the past.
The storage space inside it was vast,
covering a radius of 10,000 li.
Inside,
it was divided into more than 10,000 storage compartments
for separating different types of treasures.
The user only needed a single thought
to retrieve whatever item they desired.
The Golden Divine Dragon asked sorrowfully,
“Master, is there anything else you wish to say?”
Tan Yun gently shook his head.
“No.”
“However, afterward, I must return to the trial area located 20,000,000 li to the east.”
“If you still have some strength left, please escort me for a while.”
The Golden Divine Dragon replied respectfully.
“Master, my dragon soul is extremely weak now.”
“I can only send you 6,000,000 li.”
Then it continued,
“If Master is worried about being attacked by demonic beasts along the way after we separate,”
“there is no need to worry.”
“I will seal 1 strand of dragon aura onto your body.”
“It will protect you from attacks by all demonic beasts for 5 months.”
Tan Yun nodded.
“Very good.”
The moment he finished speaking,
the Golden Divine Dragon soared into the sky
before descending into the pile of massive golden skeletons.
“Boom!”
Suddenly,
dust and sand surged into the sky.
A sandstorm roared loudly.
The gigantic skeleton that stretched for thousands of li
began shrinking rapidly
as it flew toward Tan Yun.
Eventually,
it floated above his head
and shrank to only 30 zhang.
The voice of the Golden Divine Dragon came from within the giant skull,
mixed with faint sobbing.
“Master… take good care of yourself.”
“I must go now…”
Suddenly,
Tan Yun shouted loudly.
“Xiao Jin! Wait!”
At the final moment of their farewell,
his heart felt as though it were shattering.
He cried like a child.
“Let me hug you 1 more time…”
“Just like when you were still young.”
The voice of the Golden Divine Dragon trembled.
“Master… you still remember those things…”
It lowered its fleshless dragon head
and gently rubbed against Tan Yun affectionately.
The enormous dragon head pressed against his body.
Tan Yun trembled
as he wrapped both arms tightly around the dragon’s head,
tears streaming endlessly.
“I… I truly don’t want to part from you.”
He looked up at the sky
and shouted in grief.
“Primordial God!”
“Chaos God!”
“It was you who forced me to suffer eternal separation again and again!”
“I… Tan Yun… swear!”
“Every tear I shed today…”
“1 day, I will use your blood… and the blood of those you love… to repay it!”
The Golden Divine Dragon leaned against Tan Yun obediently.
It cried as it spoke.
“I don’t want to leave Master…”
“I also wish to remain by your side and serve you…”
“But Master… before I go…”
“May I say 1 thing, even if it may be disrespectful?”
Tan Yun replied immediately.
“Speak.”
His tears fell onto the golden dragon bones,
splattering into tiny droplets.
The Golden Divine Dragon spoke sincerely.
“Master… you are good in every way.”
“But you… are too soft-hearted.”
“I hope that in the future… Master can become a little more cold-hearted.”
“Otherwise, you may be manipulated by others.”
Tan Yun let out a long sigh.
“Xiao Jin… do you think I don’t know that?”
“Humans are not plants or grass. How could we be without feelings?”
“When others treat us well, that is kindness.”
“If a person is heartless and ungrateful, how could they stand in this world?”
He continued softly.
“If I did not value my former subordinates,”
“why would they risk their lives for me?”
Hearing this,
the Golden Divine Dragon fell silent.
It could not refute him.
Tan Yun raised his hand and gently stroked the dragon’s head,
speaking through tears.
“Xiao Jin, you need not worry about me.”
“I know what I must do in the future.”
“But no matter what, I will never do anything heartless or ungrateful.”
“That is the most basic principle of being human.”
The Golden Divine Dragon spoke softly.
“I believe Master will handle everything appropriately.”
After saying this,
the aged voice sounded again from within the skull.
“Master…”
“If 1 day you miss me…”
“you can look at the Golden Dragon Divine Lion.”
“Because my blood will flow within its body.”
“And it will inherit…”
“all the memories that I have passed down.”
“I believe it will carry on my unfinished wishes and remain by Master’s side forever.”
Upon hearing this,
Tan Yun could no longer hold back his sorrow.
He hugged the dragon’s head tightly and cried.
“Xiao Jin… go in peace!”
The Golden Divine Dragon spoke gently.
“Master… you must also take good care of yourself.”
After saying this,
it opened its mouth…
An invisible strand of dragon aura entered Tan Yun’s body.
This strand of dragon aura could remain hidden within his body for 5 months.
During this period,
all demonic beasts would sense the dragon aura coming from his body,
and therefore would not dare approach him in the slightest.
After that,
the Golden Divine Dragon lowered its gaze toward the Heaven-Slaying Demon Ape, who had already fainted.
Then it turned to look at the Golden Dragon Divine Lion
and spoke gently.
“My disciple, the process of passing my inheritance to you will be just as painful as what your Second Junior Brother is experiencing.”
“Are you afraid?”
“Roar…”
The Golden Dragon Divine Lion gently shook its enormous head.
Its giant eyes were blurred with tears.
It was obvious that
it clearly understood that this farewell
was eternal.
The Golden Divine Dragon laughed softly.
“Haha, as expected of my good disciple.”
Then it turned to look at Tan Yun.
“Master, please place it and the Heaven-Slaying Demon Ape into your Spirit Beast Pouch first.”
“After I send you away, I will enter the Spirit Beast Pouch to complete the inheritance transfer.”
Tan Yun nodded.
“Alright.”
He spoke with difficulty.
“Xiao Jin, wait for a moment. My spirit boat is outside the Heavenly Palace. I will go bring it inside.”
The Golden Divine Dragon shook its head.
“That will not be necessary, Master.”
“I wish to leave the Heavenly Palace together with you.”
“I want to look upon this beautiful land 1 last time.”
After speaking,
the Heavenly Palace gates opened.
The golden dragon skeletons floating around it flew out together with it,
soaring into the sky.
Amid the sea of clouds,
its enormous hollow eyes looked down at the towering mountains below.
It gazed for several breaths,
as if wanting to engrave all these sights into its soul
and never forget them.
Tan Yun placed the Golden Dragon Divine Lion and the unconscious Heaven-Slaying Demon Ape
into the Spirit Beast Pouch.
Then he walked out of the Heavenly Palace.
The moment he stepped outside,
the palace gates closed with a loud rumble.
“Rumble!”
Tan Yun did not disturb the Golden Divine Dragon.
He simply walked silently down the thousands of stone steps
before boarding the heavily damaged spirit boat.
Suddenly—
“ROOOAARRR!”
The Golden Divine Dragon released a thunderous roar that shook heaven and earth.
That roar was filled with countless emotions—
anger,
resentment,
defiance against fate,
and deep sorrow.
After the roar gradually faded,
the Golden Divine Dragon and Tan Yun looked at each other from afar.
Neither of them spoke.
Yet all their feelings
were understood without words.
“Humm!”
The air trembled.
A mysterious surge of power spread out from the bones of the Golden Divine Dragon
before enveloping the spirit boat.
In the next instant,
the spirit boat transformed into a streak of light
and shot toward the eastern horizon.
The Golden Divine Dragon followed behind.
Its body turned into a golden beam of light
before flying into Tan Yun’s Spirit Beast Pouch.
There,
it transformed into a golden sphere of light
before entering the head of the Golden Dragon Divine Lion.
Amid the turbulent sea of clouds,
Tan Yun stood silently on the spirit boat.
When he thought about the complete disappearance of
the Demonic Divine Dragon
and
the Golden Divine Dragon,
his heart filled with immeasurable sorrow.
The wind roared loudly.
Tan Yun’s hair fluttered wildly in the air,
carrying away
the tears within his eyes
as they scattered into the wind…
