The Supreme Being Against Heaven

“Uncle… are we really going to let this matter go just like this?”
Peng He’s voice softened, filled with unwillingness.

Peng Siyuan took a deep breath, narrowed his eyes, and a cunning glint flashed within them.
“My dear nephew, just wait and see. Tan Yun has killed Li Zian and now Ye Ling as well. With the temperament of the 12th Elder, there’s no way he’ll let this go!”

“Let Lu Wu deal with Tan Yun for us. Lu Wu is the son of the 4th Elder of the Alchemy Line of the Immortal Sect. His backing is powerful—if pushed to the brink, he’ll dare to do anything!”

—

Meanwhile, at the grand arena—

Inside Mustard Seed Space-Time Tower (Intermediate Level) No. 666—

Tan Yun had already finished inspecting Ye Ling’s Cosmos Ring.

As an alchemist, Ye Ling did not disappoint him.

Inside the ring, aside from 5,000,000 mid-grade spirit stones, Tan Yun also obtained something he had long desired—

A low-grade treasure-tier fire attribute flame:
“Lesser Evolving Heavenly Flame”!

At this moment, Tan Yun sat cross-legged with his eyes closed, both arms extended, palms facing upward.

On his right palm, a black flame about 2 chi high burned fiercely—the Lesser Heavenly Flame!

Its extreme heat distorted the entire 100 zhang space within the tower!

The temperature was high enough to reduce mid-grade spirit weapons to ashes in an instant.
Given enough time, even high-grade or top-grade spirit weapons could be turned into dust!

Even though Tan Yun’s body was as strong as a high-grade spirit weapon, he still could not withstand such heat.

However—within his right palm was the nemesis of all flames—

The “Primordial Flame”!

As long as he possessed the Primordial Flame, even dozens of divine flames from ancient phoenixes could not burn him to death!

If one observed closely, a shocking sight could be seen—

The Lesser Heavenly Flame… was being devoured by the Primordial Flame at a speed visible to the naked eye!

At the same time—

On his left palm, an icy blue flame about 1 chi tall—the low-grade spirit-tier Azure Ice Flame—was slowly being absorbed into his palm,

and devoured by the “Primordial Ice Flame”!

Since the Azure Ice Flame was only a low-grade spirit-tier flame, one level below the Lesser Heavenly Flame,
it was devoured at more than 3 times the speed!

—

After 3 days—

The Primordial Ice Flame had completely devoured the Azure Ice Flame!

Its power surged from Level 1 (initial stage), crossing both early and intermediate phases, into the peak stage of Level 1!

Its might was now comparable to high-grade spirit weapons or even magical artifacts—capable of melting space itself!

Back in Huangfu Square, Tan Yun had once exchanged a “Spirit Spring” for 6 ice-attribute flames:

3 low-grade, 1 mid-grade, 1 high-grade, and 1 top-grade.

Now, he took out one of the mid-grade ice flames—

“Profound Ice Flame”!

“Primordial Ice Flame—devour it!”

In an instant, the Primordial Ice Flame, about 1 chi tall, surged out from his left palm, spread its claws, and swallowed the Profound Ice Flame!

After engulfing it, it returned into Tan Yun’s palm…

—

Time flowed, stars shifted—

Outside, 8 days passed.
Inside the tower, 24 days had already gone by!

At this moment, the Primordial Ice Flame had devoured all 6 ice-attribute spirit flames!

Its power advanced into the minor stage of Level 2!

Meaning—it could instantly destroy mid-grade spirit weapons!

—

On the other side—

Tan Yun’s Primordial Flame had grown to a size of 0.5 zhang, radiating a purple glow!

It hovered before him, devouring a top-grade fire-attribute flame—

“Violet Spirit Flame”!

Previously, Tan Yun had obtained 5 fire-attribute spirit flames.
Including the Violet Spirit Flame now—

The Primordial Flame had devoured a total of 6 flames!

—

Inside the tower—

After another 5 days—

The Primordial Flame completely devoured the Violet Spirit Flame, transforming into a massive flame 1 zhang tall (approximately 3.3 meters)!

Its terrifying heat spread outward, violently distorting the space within the tower.

Even the walls of the intermediate-grade magical tower were scorched to a faint red glow!

Tan Yun, who had been sitting cross-legged, suddenly opened his eyes. His star-like gaze shone with excitement.

“Excellent! The Primordial Flame has reached the peak stage of Level 2! In just an instant, it can burn high-grade spirit weapons and magical artifacts into ashes!”

“Its power… even surpasses the destructive force of my physical body!”

“Return!”

In a single moment, the 1 zhang-tall Primordial Flame shot back into Tan Yun’s right palm—

vanishing without a trace!

This was his strongest trump card—second only to the Primordial God-Slaying Sword Formation—for assassinating enemies!

—

After the Primordial Flame disappeared—

The Primordial Ice Flame floating before him released an intense chill, instantly covering the floor and walls of the tower with thick layers of blue ice!

And that ice… continued to thicken rapidly!

“Whoosh!”

Tan Yun flicked his wrist and threw a mid-grade spirit-level flying sword onto the ground,

then controlled the Primordial Ice Flame to envelop it!

The result was immediate—

The flying sword froze in an instant, turning into ice…

and then completely disintegrated without leaving even a trace!

Tan Yun nodded, smiling in satisfaction.

With another flick of his hand, the Primordial Ice Flame transformed into a streak of blue light and returned to his left palm.

He knew well—

If he wanted to further advance the Primordial Flame and the Primordial Ice Flame,

he would need a vast number of spirit stones to acquire more “flame seeds” of fire and ice attributes.

—

Having made his decision—

Tan Yun did not begin cultivating immediately.

A killing intent flashed across his face as he muttered coldly,

“29 days have passed inside the tower… in another 25 days, I’ll be able to leave.”

“Duan Zhen is at Level 1 of the Soul Refinement Realm. With my current strength, I’m still not his match…”

“But the day I leave the tower—will be the day he dies!”

Thinking of Duan Zhen, Tan Yun’s expression grew even colder.

That bastard… back at the Privilege Hall, claimed that Tower No. 666 was vacant—

but in truth, he had arranged for Ye Ling, who was in seclusion, to come out and kill him!

What kind of enemy is the most dangerous?

A two-faced schemer like Duan Zhen!

“Duan Zhen… in a direct fight, I’m not your opponent yet.”

“But—I have a way to kill you!”

A mocking glint flashed in his eyes.

A dark light flickered as his Cosmos Ring released a pitch-black talisman into the air.

This was a talisman paper Tan Yun had purchased from the “Desolate Talisman Hall” in Huangfu Square,

used for crafting mid-grade treasure-tier spirit talismans.

He had bought 10 sheets—

each costing 8,000,000 low-grade spirit stones!

Under normal circumstances—

an intermediate-level talisman master would need over 2 years
to successfully refine a mid-grade treasure-tier talisman.

But for Tan Yun—

it would only take 2 months!

However, with only 25 days remaining before leaving the tower,

it was clearly not enough time to refine a mid-grade treasure-tier talisman.

Even so—

he was extremely confident that he could successfully refine a low-grade treasure-tier attack talisman!

The power of a low-grade treasure-tier attack talisman—

At its peak, it could rival the full-force strike of a cultivator at Level 3 of the Soul Refinement Realm.

At its lowest, it would still be comparable to Level 1 of the Soul Refinement Realm.

Of course—it depended on the attribute of the talisman.

For example—

a wood-attribute low-grade treasure-tier talisman
could not compare to the full-force attack of a wind-attribute cultivator at Level 1 of the Soul Refinement Realm!

In summary—

“The attribute of the talisman”
corresponds directly to
“the full-force attack power of a cultivator of the same attribute!”
