The Supreme Being Against Heaven
Chapter Summary
Not only did Tan Yun accept, he used his strength at Level 7 of the Nascent Soul Realm to completely kill Ye Ling at his feet!” Hearing this, Shen Qingfeng’s aged body trembled uncontrollably. At the very least, he should be within the top 100 of the Alchemy Battle Ranking, and he even has a chance to enter the top 1,000 of the Hidden Dragon List!” Shen Qingfeng took a deep breath before speaking. Let’s go see the Young Lady right now and have Tan Yun become my disciple!” … Moments later— In the...
“You’re not dreaming, Junior Brother! Ye Ling is dead—he’s really dead!”
“How is this possible… sob… why did Senior Brother Ye have to die?!”
“Hahaha! Tan Yun is incredible! Our Lingshan Herb Garden is about to rise to glory!”
“That’s right! Tan Yun is truly powerful! He actually killed Ye Ling, who was ranked 160 on the Alchemy Battle Ranking!”
“And he won without a single injury! That means his current rank must be at least within the top 150!”
“Exactly! This is simply unbelievable! I heard that in the 50,000 years since the founding of the Huangfu Sacred Sect, not a single disciple from Lingshan Herb Garden has ever made it onto the Alchemy Battle Ranking!”
“Tan Yun is the first in 50,000 years from Lingshan Herb Garden!”
“That’s right! If you ask me, with Tan Yun’s strength, he might even have a chance to enter the top 1,000 of the ‘Hidden Dragon List’ among all inner disciples!”
“If he enters the Hidden Dragon List, that would truly be extraordinary! He would become the only miscellaneous disciple in 50,000 years of the Huangfu Sacred Sect to achieve this!”
“Of course! If Tan Yun makes it onto the Hidden Dragon List, I’d be so excited I’d go crazy! That would be a huge slap in the face to the other 8 major factions!”
“Yeah! I heard that when Tan Yun first entered the inner sect, the chief disciples of the other 8 branches all called him trash—no one wanted him! But now it seems the Grand Elder of our Alchemy Line truly has sharp judgment!”
“Don’t forget, Tan Yun is only at Level 7 of the Nascent Soul Realm! Once his cultivation improves, he’ll definitely charge into the Hidden Dragon List! I bet those 8 chief disciples will lose all face!”
“I can’t take it anymore—I’m too excited! I’m going to tell the disciples under the 8th Elder that Tan Yun killed Ye Ling!”
“I’m going to inform the disciples of the 7th Elder too!”
“...”
In just a moment, tens of thousands of disciples flew away on their swords, leaving without a trace. Only a few hundred disciples from the faction of the 12th Elder remained, their faces filled with grief as they stared at Ye Ling’s lifeless body.
Among those who left, quite a few had wanted to approach Tan Yun and befriend him.
But they all knew—although Tan Yun’s fame had skyrocketed after this battle, he had completely offended the 12th Elder!
Getting close to Tan Yun would inevitably bring trouble.
Thus, no matter how much they admired him, they chose to keep their distance.
“Senior Brother Ye…”
A beautiful female disciple, tears streaming down her face, knelt and lifted Ye Ling’s body before flying away on her sword.
Several hundred other disciples of the 12th Elder’s faction looked at Tan Yun with fear before soaring into the sky together.
At this moment, Tan Yun had already taken the Cosmos Ring Ye Ling left behind after taking his own life.
He straightened his robe slightly and sensed Duan Zhen’s killing intent from afar. A cold smile appeared on his lips as he stepped onto the stairs leading to Mustard Seed Space Tower No. 666.
Standing before the tightly shut tower gate, Tan Yun paused briefly.
The moment he inserted the control token into the slot, the tower doors slowly opened.
He put away the token and stepped inside.
The doors then slowly closed once again.
“You damn bastards! I’m furious!”
Duan Zhen roared as he returned to the Authority Hall, venting his rage!
He had never expected that Ye Ling, ranked 160 on the Alchemy Battle Ranking, would be killed by Tan Yun!
At the same time… his heart ached as if it were being torn apart!
Ye Ling was a direct disciple of the 12th Elder, and his alchemy skills ranked within the top 3 among all of that elder’s disciples!
Duan Zhen knew very well that Ye Ling was the hope of the 12th Elder. Now that Ye Ling was dead, such a major matter had to be reported to the 12th Elder, who was currently being punished—forced to kneel at Lingshan Herb Garden!
“Whoosh!”
With a pale face, Duan Zhen rushed out of the hall, summoned his spirit vessel, and shot into the sky, heading toward Changling Immortal Mountain, which lay tens of thousands of li away…
High in the sky, Shen Wende watched Duan Zhen’s departing figure and let out a cold snort. Then he rode his flying sword upward into the blue clouds, soaring more than 10,000 zhang above Duan Zhen, heading toward Changling Immortal Mountain as well…
After 2 ke—
Within the bamboo forest of Changling Immortal Mountain—
Duan Zhen descended from his flying sword, his aged voice trembling with excitement:
“Qingfeng! Come out quickly—I have something important to discuss with you!”
A figure shot out from a bamboo pavilion and appeared in the courtyard. Shen Qingfeng looked at Duan Zhen with confusion.
“Brother Shen, what brings you here?”
“My dear brother! I have something to ask of you—please help me this once!”
Shen Wende rubbed his hands excitedly, his eyes filled with anticipation.
“Brother Shen, you’re being too formal. Between brothers, why speak of ‘asking a favor’?”
Shen Qingfeng chuckled softly.
“Good!”
Shen Wende said immediately,
“I want you to give Tan Yun to me! Whether he has a worthless soul or not, I will take him as my direct disciple!”
“A direct disciple?”
Shen Qingfeng froze. “Brother Shen, have you lost your mind? Why would you suddenly say such a thing today?”
“My dear brother, you don’t know! I truly admire Tan Yun!”
Shen Wende said excitedly.
“Just now, after I returned from the secret realm, I happened to pass by the grand arena and saw Ye Ling challenge Tan Yun to a life-and-death duel—likely to avenge Li Zian!”
“But do you know? Not only did Tan Yun accept, he used his strength at Level 7 of the Nascent Soul Realm to completely kill Ye Ling at his feet!”
Hearing this, Shen Qingfeng’s aged body trembled uncontrollably.
“What did you say?! Ye Ling, who ranked 160 on the Alchemy Battle Ranking… was killed by Tan Yun?!”
Shen Wende burst into laughter.
“That’s right! I’d say Tan Yun’s true strength is definitely not limited to Rank 160. At the very least, he should be within the top 100 of the Alchemy Battle Ranking, and he even has a chance to enter the top 1,000 of the Hidden Dragon List!”
Shen Qingfeng took a deep breath before speaking.
“Brother Shen, although I feel reluctant, since you’ve spoken, I must give Tan Yun to you. However, when the Young Lady became the chief disciple 30 years ago, she once said that miscellaneous disciples, due to possessing worthless souls, cannot become disciples of the Alchemy Line!”
“Sigh, times have changed!”
Shen Wende said seriously.
“Moreover, Tan Yun is an exception! Perhaps the Young Lady and the other 8 chief disciples misjudged him!”
“Let me tell you—earlier, when Tan Yun used the sword formation to fight Ye Ling, although I couldn’t see clearly, I could vaguely tell that he used the power of the metal element!”
“The power of metal!”
Shen Qingfeng’s heart shook. “Is that true?!”
“Absolutely true!”
Shen Wende replied.
“That’s why I say Tan Yun is no trash at all! But for some reason, even though this kid knows he possesses a Golden Womb Soul, he refuses to explain it to anyone!”
With that, he grabbed Shen Qingfeng’s hand and urged,
“Come! Let’s go see the Young Lady right now and have Tan Yun become my disciple!”
…
Moments later—
In the herb garden behind Changling Immortal Mountain, at the place where 5 Jade Revival Grasses had once been planted—
Lu Wu, who was kneeling, trembled violently upon hearing the news of Ye Ling’s death from Duan Zhen. His face flushed red as he coughed up a mouthful of blood!
