The Supreme Being Against Heaven
Chapter Summary
I merely spoke the truth.” As Tan Yun finished speaking, a cold female voice rang out. 3 is quite bold!” “In that case, I’ll add another 10,000,000,000 to satisfy you.” “This young lady bids 77,100,000,000!” Upon hearing the familiar female voice, Tantai Zhongde’s murky eyes trembled. Fine, I won’t bid anymore.” … While Murong Daozhe and the Five Souls Daoist were still hesitating whether to raise the bid, Tan Yun’s confident voice rang out again.
Tantai Zhongde pondered inwardly, “Who exactly is this person? His words are so meticulous and well thought out!” He quickly composed himself, cupped his fists in salute, looked toward VIP Room No. 3, and spoke with a faint smile.
“It was my misjudgment. I hope this honored guest can forgive me.”
“I wouldn’t dare, I wouldn’t dare. I merely spoke the truth.”
As Tan Yun finished speaking, a cold female voice rang out.
A young woman in a long green robe that trailed to the ground, wearing a purple veil, revealed only her beautiful yet icy eyes as she spoke:
“The guest in VIP Room No. 3 is quite bold!”
“In that case, I’ll add another 10,000,000,000 to satisfy you.”
“This young lady bids 77,100,000,000!”
Upon hearing the familiar female voice, Tantai Zhongde’s murky eyes trembled. He cursed inwardly, “Those fools below deserve to die! They didn’t even report that the young lady had arrived!”
At the same time, Murong Daozhe and the Five Souls Daoist were both stunned.
Who exactly is this person? To increase the bid by 10,000,000,000 in a single move!
At that moment, Tantai Zhongde’s lips moved slightly. A respectful and affectionate voice transmission echoed beside the veiled woman in VIP Room No. 36.
“My lady… Young Miss, why have you come here? Please do not participate in the auction anymore. I beg you.”
Beneath the purple veil, although her face could not be clearly seen, one could still glimpse her peerless beauty.
The young woman slightly parted her lips. Her voice, as clear as heavenly music and tinged with playfulness, transmitted back:
“Uncle De, I’ve grown bored staying in the Immortal Sect, so I came out to take a look. Fine, I won’t bid anymore.”
…
While Murong Daozhe and the Five Souls Daoist were still hesitating whether to raise the bid, Tan Yun’s confident voice rang out again.
This time, it was no longer the voice of an old man, but a deep and charming young man’s voice.
“Very well. This young master may not have much, but I have plenty of spirit stones. Why don’t you try to keep up?”
“771,020,000,000!”
Despite saying that, Tan Yun felt a sharp pain in his heart. “Which idiot dares to raise it by 10,000,000,000 at once!”
If I didn’t urgently need to increase my strength and let the Primordial Ice Flame devour the Purple Sea Profound Flame to advance, even 50,000,000,000 would be more than I’d want to spend!”
However, he deliberately spoke this way to display his wealth—telling everyone that he had more than enough spirit stones and was determined to obtain the Purple Sea Profound Flame!
Hearing that Tan Yun’s voice had changed, the crowd began to speculate.
Some thought he was a young man, the son of a powerful figure.
Others believed it was still just voice disguise.
But no matter what, everyone agreed on one thing—Tan Yun kept his word and truly raised the bid!
The veiled woman’s beautiful eyes flickered—70% surprise, 30% coldness.
Just as she was about to speak, Tantai Zhongde’s laughter echoed in her ears again:
“My lady, Young Miss, please don’t cause trouble anymore. Otherwise, I’ll have to report this to the Sect Master.”
“Alright… fine. But that person in VIP Room No. 3 is really annoying!” she replied through voice transmission. “Uncle De, I don’t care—you must find out who he is!”
“Yes, I will remember.”
After finishing the transmission, Tantai Zhongde loudly announced:
“77,020,000,000 going once… going twice…”
“This chief bids 80,000,000,000!” Murong Daozhe felt as if her heart was being cut apart. She desperately wanted the Purple Sea Profound Flame for future weapon forging.
“800,010,000,000.”
The voice she loathed the most rang out from Tan Yun again. This time, it had become a hoarse old voice.
Murong Daozhe gritted her teeth tightly.
“830,000,000,000!”
Inside VIP Room No. 1, the Five Souls Daoist shook his head inwardly. “Has Chief Murong gone mad? Although the Purple Sea Profound Flame is precious, it shouldn’t be worth 83,000,000,000! Sigh… the profit from a weapon-refining vein is even higher than this!”
“830,010,000,000.”
Tan Yun’s gaze was firm and unwavering.
Inside VIP Room No. 4, Murong Daozhe’s proud face was filled with rage. At last, she took a deep breath, sat down on the jade chair, and thought coldly,
“Don’t let me find out who you are. Otherwise, you’re dead!”
Thinking of how the other party had humiliated her in public by calling her an old woman, her beautiful face grew even colder, like ice.
“830,010,000,000 going once… going twice… going three times!”
As Tantai Zhongde’s voice fell, he flicked his finger lightly. A strand of spiritual energy shot out and struck the heavenly bell in the void.
“Congratulations to the honored guest of VIP Room No. 3 of the Supreme Pavilion for successfully acquiring the ‘Purple Sea Profound Flame,’ a treasure-grade, top-tier ice-attributed flame seed!”
Tantai Zhongde flipped his right hand, and a mass of deep purple flame appeared in his palm.
The flame was wrapped in a faint light curtain—this was a heat-insulating formation created by a powerful expert of Huangfu Shengxing. With a surge of spiritual energy, it could be dispelled.
The moment the light curtain disappeared, the bone-chilling cold of the Purple Sea Profound Flame would spread throughout the entire Huangfu Shengxing!
At that moment, a female disciple dressed in Huangfu Shengxing attire flew onto the stage. She respectfully received the flame from Tantai Zhongde, then stepped onto a flying sword and soared through the air toward VIP Room No. 3.
After receiving Tan Yun’s permission, she entered respectfully and placed the flame on the jade table before him.
Tan Yun glanced at it briefly, confirmed that it was indeed a genuine treasure-grade item, then stored it into his Qiankun Ring and paid
8,300,100 high-grade spirit stones.
Conversion rates:
1 supreme-grade spirit stone = 100 high-grade = 10,000 mid-grade = 1,000,000 low-grade
After the payment, if all of Tan Yun’s remaining wealth were converted into low-grade spirit stones, he would have 42,000,000,000 left.
The female disciple exited the VIP room, flew back down on her sword, and respectfully handed the Qiankun Ring filled with spirit stones to Tantai Zhongde with both hands.
“Elder De, the honored guest has completed the payment.”
“Mhm.” Tantai Zhongde accepted the ring and began auctioning the remaining 7 treasures.
Within just 2 ke (approximately half an hour), 3 supreme-grade flying swords refined by the Immortal Sect’s weapon-refining elders were auctioned off.
1 wind-attributed sword, 1 lightning-attributed sword, and 1 time-attributed sword—all fell into the hands of 3 sect elders.
In addition, there were 3 bottles of top-grade “Soul Refining” pills for cultivators in the Soul Refining Realm. They were fiercely contested before finally being won.
Throughout the auction, Tan Yun did not hear the voices of the 8 chiefs at all, so he had no intention of interfering.
But the moment those 8 made a move—
Tan Yun would never allow them to obtain what they wanted!
At this moment, all his hopes were pinned on the final treasure.
He greatly wished for a flame possessing both ice and fire attributes to appear!
And even more so—he hoped for rare weapon-refining materials to appear!
He needed precious materials to personally forge 11 more flying swords of different attributes (excluding beast and primordial attributes).
So that he could unleash the power of the Primordial God-Slaying Sword Art!
And since the next item was the grand finale—
Tan Yun was certain it would not disappoint him! ?
