The Supreme Being Against Heaven
Chapter Summary
At the same time, Xu Gu, the 2nd Elder of the outer sect, upon hearing the whispers of the disciples, frowned and walked toward Song Qingqiu. “Mm.” Song Qingqiu nodded kindly, then stepped closer to Tan Yun and transmitted his voice directly into his ear: “Young man Tan, in less than 2 shichen, the 9 core disciples of the inner sect will arrive. “Elder, since the Grand Elder of the inner sect has not yet arrived, may I take this opportunity to sell the items I obtained from the battlefield here?...
Millions of people stared at the scene before them—Tan Yun, instead of killing Guo Zhengshou quickly, repeatedly slapped and humiliated him. Everyone was stunned, feeling that he had gone too far.
There is a saying: “Killing someone is no more than beheading them.”
In the eyes of most people, Tan Yun’s humiliation of an elder to such an extent was truly hard to accept.
At that moment, whether it was the millions of disciples or the 13 elders, 9 out of 10 looked at Tan Yun with disdain.
However, it didn’t take long before everyone began to understand the reason behind his actions.
Seeing the confusion on the faces of the thousands of disciples around, some began whispering the truth—before the Twilight Divine Valley trial began, Tan Yun had offended the 10th Elder for unknown reasons.
As a result, he was slapped and sent flying out of the Discipline Hall, and was even slapped 2 more times on the right cheek until it bled!
This news spread like wildfire, and everyone immediately realized—Tan Yun was taking revenge “10 times over” for the humiliation of the past!
At the same time, Xu Gu, the 2nd Elder of the outer sect, upon hearing the whispers of the disciples, frowned and walked toward Song Qingqiu. Bowing slightly, he said:
“Elder, Tan Yun listens to you. You should persuade him to stop.”
“After all, the 10th Elder is still an elder of the outer sect. If this matter spreads, I’m afraid Tan Yun will offend many people.”
Since Xu Gu and Song Qingqiu had a good personal relationship, he spoke as a kind reminder.
“Mm.” Song Qingqiu looked toward the battle stage. Seeing Tan Yun beating Guo Zhengshou until he was almost unrecognizable, he spoke softly:
“Tan Yun, that’s enough. The 9 core disciples of the inner sect are about to arrive. If they see you like this, it won’t be good.”
“Thank you for the reminder, Elder.”
As his words fell, Tan Yun’s right hand suddenly exerted force—
“Bang!”
Guo Zhengshou’s blood-covered head was crushed into pieces by a single palm!
“Crack!”
Immediately after, he shattered the ribs of the corpse, then turned around and walked off the stage without even looking back.
With a wave of his hand, Guo Zhengshou’s storage ring, along with Qiu Yongchong’s and Cao Cheng’s rings, as well as Guo Zhengshou’s high-grade spirit sword and flying sword, floated into the air before being absorbed into Tan Yun’s storage ring.
“Buzz—”
As he walked, Tan Yun’s hair fluttered, and the air above his head trembled slightly. He released his spiritual sense with full force, wanting to test how strong it had become after reaching Level 7 of the Nascent Soul Realm and Level 2 of the Ancient Sovereign Body.
The invisible spiritual sense shot upward like a transparent beam into the sky—
3,000 chi… 8,000 chi… 20,000 chi…
Even at 40,000 chi, it continued piercing through the clouds—until it finally stopped at 46,666 chi!
This height was equivalent to a radius of 280 li!
In other words, Tan Yun’s spiritual sense could now cover an area of 280 li, only 20 li away from the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul Realm, which spans 300 li!
That means—
His spiritual power was now close to the Great Perfection level!
Satisfied, Tan Yun withdrew his spiritual sense, stepped down from the stage, and in an instant appeared before Mu Mengyi and Zhong Wu Shiyao.
He smiled faintly. “Sorry for frightening you earlier.”
“It doesn’t matter how worried Shiyao and I were. What matters is… that you’re safe.”
Mu Mengyi looked at Tan Yun with deep emotion. Her clear eyes, like a spring stream, were filled with concern and affection that was hard to conceal.
Zhong Wu Shiyao tilted her head slightly, looking at Tan Yun. The worry in her beautiful eyes had now turned into a trace of admiration.
As for Rongrong, standing beside Zhong Wu Shiyao, her eyes sparkled like countless little stars, her gaze filled with utmost admiration.
In contrast, Xue Ziyan’s face showed obvious shock. She quickly regained her composure and walked toward Tan Yun with a smile.
“Wow! Brother-in-law, you’re only at Level 7 of the Nascent Soul Realm, yet you killed the 10th Elder at Level 9. That’s incredible!”
“So tell me honestly, brother-in-law—just how strong are you when it comes to fighting across levels?”
Xue Ziyan’s voice was quite loud, causing all the outer sect disciples to turn toward the sound, their gazes falling upon the “heaven-made couple,” Mu Mengyi and Tan Yun, with envy.
Mu Mengyi’s cheeks flushed red as she spoke shyly, with a hint of playful annoyance:
“Ziyan, how can you speak so carelessly in front of so many people…”
“Hehe, Senior Sister Mu, I’m just telling the truth. After all, you and Tan Yun are going to become cultivation partners sooner or later, aren’t you?” Xue Ziyan giggled.
“Oh~ I get it now—Senior Sister Mu doesn’t want to marry Tan Yun in the future, right?”
“Who said that! I…” Mu Mengyi’s sweet voice suddenly faltered. She reached out and grabbed Xue Ziyan’s right arm.
“You’ve been getting more mischievous by the day, and now you even dare to trick me into saying things. Let’s see how I deal with you!”
“Senior Sister Mu, I was wrong! That hurts—please let me go!” Xue Ziyan quickly begged for mercy.
“Ahem…”
A soft cough sounded beside them—it was Song Qingqiu, who had walked over.
The two girls immediately stopped fooling around.
Song Qingqiu approached Tan Yun. As he passed Xu Gu, he said in a low voice:
“2nd Elder, arrange for people to collect the bodies of the 3 elders and give them proper burials.”
“Understood,” Xu Gu replied, then immediately ordered disciples to handle it.
“Greetings, Grand Elder,” Mu Mengyi, Xue Ziyan, Zhong Wu Shiyao, Rongrong, and Tan Yun said respectfully in unison.
“Mm.” Song Qingqiu nodded kindly, then stepped closer to Tan Yun and transmitted his voice directly into his ear:
“Young man Tan, in less than 2 shichen, the 9 core disciples of the inner sect will arrive. As for whether the other elders will come, I cannot yet confirm.”
“You killed Murong Kun and Linghu Changkong. Inevitably, you’ve offended the 2nd Elder of the Beast Soul lineage and the Grand Elder of the Sacred Soul lineage.”
“If they arrive later, remember this—use the sect rules as your shield. Otherwise… no one will be able to save you. Do you understand?”
Tan Yun nodded firmly.
“Thank you for the reminder, Master. I will remember it.”
“Mm.” Song Qingqiu nodded slightly, looking at Tan Yun with expectation in his eyes.
“Young man Tan, judging from the strength you’ve displayed and the speed of your advancement… your talent must be at the highest level, correct?”
Tan Yun lowered his head slightly.
“Although I do not dare claim to be at the absolute peak, my talent is certainly not inferior to that level.”
“Haha, then I’m relieved.” Song Qingqiu smiled before turning to leave.
“Elder, since the Grand Elder of the inner sect has not yet arrived, may I take this opportunity to sell the items I obtained from the battlefield here?” Tan Yun asked.
“You may. I permit it.”
As his words fell, Song Qingqiu’s figure flashed, and he appeared on the battle stage.
He swept his gaze across the more than 1,000,000 outer sect disciples, then spoke in a clear and resonant voice that echoed throughout:
“It is deeply regrettable that the Enforcement Elder, the 9th Elder, and the 10th Elder have all fallen in their final battle against Tan Yun.”
“These 3 elders dedicated their lives to our Huangfu Sect. All of you should remember them.”
“Furthermore, from this day forward, no one is allowed to discuss today’s life-and-death battle in private!”
“Anyone who disobeys—will be executed without exception!”
