The Supreme Being Against Heaven
Chapter Summary
Tantai Zhongde smiled kindly and said in a clear voice: “These 1,000 bottles are all top-grade ‘Spirit Embryo Pills,’ each bottle containing 9 pills, sold at only 70% of the in-sect retail price. His clear voice echoed throughout Huangfu Shengxing: “Some honored guests may already recognize this as ‘Extraterrestrial Purple Meteorite Iron,’ renowned for its indestructible strength!” “But for those who do not understand its value, I will explain it simply.” “In this world, there are 6 types of ext...
Tantai Zhongde raised his hand and gestured for silence. He swept his gaze across the hundreds of thousands of disciples in the first-floor hall and spoke in a gentle tone:
“Children, don’t be impatient. In the past, every auction included the sale of medicinal pills specifically for cultivators in the Spirit Embryo Realm. Today is no exception.”
As his voice fell, amid the excitement of the disciples, Tantai Zhongde waved his sleeve—instantly, thousands of pill bottles appeared on the auction platform before him.
In an instant, the disciples’ eyes gleamed green, like starving wolves.
Tantai Zhongde smiled kindly and said in a clear voice:
“These 1,000 bottles are all top-grade ‘Spirit Embryo Pills,’ each bottle containing 9 pills, sold at only 70% of the in-sect retail price. One bottle of the low-grade equivalent is priced at 30,000,000 spirit stones.”
“Limit: 1 bottle per person. Those who want them, come up and line up to pay!”
As soon as he finished speaking, thousands of disciples soared into the air, their figures flickering at low altitude as they rushed toward the auction platform, quickly suppressing their excitement and forming a line!
Unfortunately—only the first 1,000 people successfully purchased the top-grade Spirit Embryo Pills.
At that moment, behind the partition, an endless killing intent flashed in Tan Yun’s eyes as he stared at a pair of male and female disciples on the auction platform!
They were none other than—
The woman: Lin Xinyi, the disciple who had once deceived Tan Yun into going 600 li away from the Alchemy Line gate, claiming that Mu Mengyi had been captured!
The man: Fan Jian, a powerhouse ranked in the Hidden Dragon List, who had used an invisibility talisman to ambush him on the mountain!
The memory of being ambushed and severely injured by the two from the Beast Soul Line resurfaced—he had barely survived and escaped back to the sect!
Tan Yun’s fists clenched tightly with cracking sounds.
“After the auction, I will make sure the two of you die without a burial place!”
At the same time, the 1,000 disciples who obtained the pills jumped off the platform with excited expressions.
With just 1 bottle, one could break through realms faster—even if not used personally, it could be given to a cultivation partner or resold for massive profit!
As the 1,000 people merged back into the crowd, other disciples rushed toward them, hoping to befriend them and purchase the pills.
“Silence.”
Tantai Zhongde raised his hand again, then smiled and said:
“Honored guests, I am deeply grateful that you have taken the time to come to Huangfu Shengxing.”
“The auction is about to enter its final stage, and I am confident that the final treasure you have all been waiting for will not disappoint.”
His smile slowly faded, his expression turning solemn. Then his Qiankun Ring flashed—a dark purple stone the size of a human head appeared on the auction platform.
Inside VIP Room No. 3, Tan Yun abruptly stood up from his jade chair, staring fixedly at the purple stone. His star-like eyes revealed undisguised excitement.
“Extraterrestrial Purple Meteorite Iron!”
At the same time, countless gazes from the VIP rooms on the 7th floor shot toward the stone as if tangible—clearly, they recognized it just like Tan Yun!
Sensing the intense attention, Tantai Zhongde smiled. His clear voice echoed throughout Huangfu Shengxing:
“Some honored guests may already recognize this as ‘Extraterrestrial Purple Meteorite Iron,’ renowned for its indestructible strength!”
“But for those who do not understand its value, I will explain it simply.”
“In this world, there are 6 types of extraterrestrial materials, collectively known as the ‘6 Great Meteorite Materials,’ namely:
Extraterrestrial Refined Gold Iron,
Extraterrestrial Cold Meteorite Iron,
Black Meteorite Iron,
Mystic Meteorite Iron,
and—the Extraterrestrial Purple Meteorite Iron before you!”
“These 6 types of ores have drifted through the vast universe for tens of billions of years before falling onto the Heavenly Punishment Continent.”
“Because of their extraordinary strength, they are known as the ‘foundation of weapon refining.’”
“As you all know—above Spirit Weapons are Treasure Weapons, above Treasure Weapons are Semi-Saint Weapons, and Saint Weapons…”
“This piece of Extraterrestrial Purple Meteorite Iron, if handled by a Grandmaster-level weapon refiner, can be forged into a ‘sword prototype’ of Semi-Grandmaster or even Grandmaster level!”
“Of course, if you possess it and invite a Divine Weapon Refiner, it can even be elevated into a Semi-Divine or Divine sword prototype!”
“Once forged into a sword prototype, it can then be refined into a complete flying sword according to the user’s desired elemental attributes.”
“Moreover, it is also a primary material for refining many magical treasures. It is no exaggeration to say—its value is immeasurable!”
Tantai Zhongde’s expression turned serious.
“I will wait and see who will ultimately obtain this ‘Extraterrestrial Purple Meteorite Iron’!”
“Starting price: 10,000,000,000 low-grade spirit stones. Each bid increase must be no less than 1,000,000,000!”
“The same rules apply—anyone who bids recklessly but cannot pay with spirit stones or assets in the end, regardless of status, will not be spared by Huangfu Shengxing!”
“Now—the auction for the Extraterrestrial Purple Meteorite Iron begins!”
“GONG—!”
“Hahaha… then this old man will take a gamble and see if I can seize this Extraterrestrial Purple Meteorite Iron.”
Inside VIP Room No. 1, the Five Souls Daoist forced a smile and said:
“280,000,000,000!”
“Since the 3 chiefs—the Five Souls Line, the Holy Soul Line, and Chief Murong—are all interested, how could I miss out?”
Inside VIP Room No. 6, an old woman skilled in talismans narrowed her eyes, her tone filled with provocation:
“350,000,000,000!”
Inside VIP Room No. 9, Daoist Qiankun of the Formation Line spoke coldly:
“I didn’t expect the 4 chiefs to have time to come to Huangfu Shengxing. Since the 4 of you have made a move, this old man will accompany you to the end—380,000,000,000!”
“You all have such refined tastes. Adding me shouldn’t be a problem, right?”
A domineering voice echoed from VIP Room No. 12—the Ancient Soul Daoist:
“430,000,000,000!”
“Since there are already 6, adding 1 more makes no difference.”
A chilling voice came from VIP Room No. 14—the Beast Soul Daoist:
“450,000,000,000!”
“Interesting… very interesting!”
The laughter of the Wind Thunder Daoist echoed from VIP Room No. 16:
“500,000,000,000!”
At this moment, although Tantai Zhongde’s expression remained calm, inwardly he was overjoyed!
This scene—where the chiefs of all 8 lines gathered to compete in bidding—was exactly what he most wanted to see!
He knew well that all 8 lines were irreconcilable enemies. Although they all desired the Extraterrestrial Purple Meteorite Iron today, they were also competing for prestige through this auction!
And as expected—
The doors of all 99 luxurious rooms on the 5th floor and 88 VIP rooms on the 6th floor opened almost simultaneously!
A total of 187 people stepped out!
Among them were young women still in their prime, elderly women around 60 years old, youths, middle-aged individuals, and elders—
All of them were elders and stewards of the 8 lines!
“Damn! So many people!”
Tan Yun’s pupils shrank instantly. He knew clearly—the 8 chiefs feared their spirit stones wouldn’t be enough, so they had called others to pool their wealth!
And he realized—the auction had truly turned into a “smokeless battlefield”!
Everyone was going all out—determined to crush the other 7 into the ground today!
“Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh—!”
The 187 people split into 8 groups and rushed toward the VIP rooms on the 7th floor, entering their respective faction rooms.
Soon after, they flew back out and returned to their main halls and rooms.
The war between the 8 lines—had been ignited by the Extraterrestrial Purple Meteorite Iron!
At this moment, from elders to disciples in the grand hall, no one thought their chiefs were acting out of emotion.
Because—
First, the Extraterrestrial Purple Meteorite Iron was an immeasurable treasure—this was an undeniable fact!
Second, although Huangfu Shengzong had no open struggle for power, the 8 chiefs would never back down from this auction!
Some might think—since 8 people are bidding, why not wait and observe first, then act later to save spirit stones?
But one must understand—those who stand at the level of chiefs are no ordinary people. How could they fail to see through such simple tactics?
Therefore—the 8 of them chose direct confrontation!
A battle of wealth!
1—Spirit stones are life!
2—Everyone desires the Extraterrestrial Purple Meteorite Iron!
“Hmph!” The Five Souls Daoist snorted coldly.
“600,000,000,000!”
“700,000,000,000!” the Holy Soul Daoist shouted immediately.
Murong Daozhe took a deep breath.
“780,000,000,000!”
The Wind Thunder Daoist gritted his teeth.
“800,000,000,000!”
The Ancient Soul Daoist’s expression turned solemn.
“810,000,000,000!”
Daoist Qiankun laughed.
“Or has the Ancient Soul Chief run out of money? Hahaha… 850,000,000,000!”
“860,000,000,000!” the old woman of the Talisman Line frowned deeply.
“890,000,000,000!” the Beast Soul Daoist spoke with a tense expression.
As the words fell—the entire place sank into silence.
Clearly—this price was nearing the limit of all 8 of them!
No one spoke again first!
Inside the first-floor hall, the hundreds of thousands of disciples were divided into 9 groups according to the 9 great lines.
Everyone held their breath—the sound of heartbeats grew louder and heavier with each passing moment!
“Everyone, if you wish to bid, you must hurry. Only 10 breaths remain!”
The corner of Tantai Zhongde’s mouth lifted uncontrollably.
“After 10 breaths—the highest bidder will obtain the Extraterrestrial Purple Meteorite Iron!”
“890,000,000,000 going once… going twice…”
Suddenly—2 voices rang out at the same time!
“900,000,000,000!”
“1,000,000,000,000!”
In that instant, all eyes shot toward VIP Room No. 4 and VIP Room No. 3!
900,000,000,000—was the number Murong Daozhe forced herself to say.
But—1,000,000,000,000!
This number shook the senses even more!
Because that voice—was filled with extreme arrogance!
At this moment, Tan Yun leaned back against the jade chair, lightly tapping his fingers on the armrest, his eyes brimming with pride.
“The 8 chiefs—why have you all fallen silent? Do you only have this many spirit stones, yet still think of competing for the Extraterrestrial Purple Meteorite Iron? Hahaha!”
Mockery!
Blatant contempt!
Tan Yun knew well—such actions would provoke the 8 chiefs, and in the end he might have to pay an even higher price!
But—
He still chose to do it!
Thinking of how the 8 chiefs had once humiliated him as trash in front of millions of outer disciples—his anger surged!
Isn’t it just spirit stones?
If it’s not enough—then use other treasures to compensate!
What did he have to fear!
No matter the cost—he would obtain the Extraterrestrial Purple Meteorite Iron!
No one could take it from him!
At that moment, upon hearing the mockery, the 8 chiefs all spoke at once:
“You in VIP Room No. 3—don’t be too arrogant! If I’m not mistaken—you are from the Alchemy Line!”
“Hmph! Daoist Bingqing didn’t come, yet you did. Your relationship must be unusual… or is there something secret between you? Hahaha!”
“So that’s how it is…”
“…”
The mocking laughter of the 8 chiefs echoed.
The thousands of Alchemy Line disciples in the hall—though furious—did not dare utter a word!
Tan Yun snorted coldly.
“So what if I am from the Alchemy Line? No matter how much you talk—in the end, this Extraterrestrial Purple Meteorite Iron will still be mine!”
“Arrogant!”
Murong Daozhe seemed to make up her mind and spoke coldly:
“1,030,000,000,000!”
The corner of Tan Yun’s lips curled into a smile.
“1,031,000,000,000.”
“You… shameless!”
Seeing the other party only increase by the minimum 1,000,000,000, Murong Daozhe’s delicate body trembled.
“1,100,000,000,000! No matter what, today you will never obtain the Extraterrestrial Purple Meteorite Iron!”
The remaining 7 chiefs—fell silent!
Because the spirit stones and compensable treasures they possessed—combined—did not even reach 1,100,000,000,000!
“No matter what?”
Tan Yun sneered.
“Old woman, aren’t you afraid of biting off more than you can chew and destroying yourself? I’ll end this for you in one move!”
His voice was as firm as a mountain:
“1,200,000,000,000!”
Upon hearing this, cold sweat broke out on Murong Daozhe’s forehead. She looked toward Tantai Zhongde with urgency, trying to keep her voice steady:
“Elder De… may I have a moment? Can I use a teleportation formation to go to Murong Immortal Mountain and retrieve more spirit stones?”
Tantai Zhongde shook his head slightly.
“I’m sorry. There is only 1 breath left in the auction. I cannot allow it.”
Hearing this, Murong Daozhe collapsed onto her jade chair, lowering her head in silence.
“1,200,000,000,000 going once… going twice… going three times—SOLD!”
Tantai Zhongde announced loudly.
“Congratulations to the honored guest of VIP Room No. 3 of the Supreme Pavilion—for successfully obtaining the final treasure!”
