The Supreme Being Against Heaven
Chapter Summary
“If it weren’t for Qingqiu…” “I would have killed that brat with my own hands already!” … 1 hour later— A large spirit vessel— carrying Shen Subing, Shen Qingfeng, along with the herb garden disciples of Lingshan Mountain— descended into the center of the arena! “I won’t lower myself to argue with you!” But outwardly— he remained calm and composed, speaking firmly: “Reporting to the Chief!” “Since entering the herb garden—” “I have been ridiculed and looked down upon by the Alchemy Line disciple...
A towering mountain—
pure white like flawless jade,
beautiful like a dream,
with an ethereal aura like a heavenly realm.
A spirit vessel—
carrying hundreds of disciples, hovered silently above the peak.
At the same time—
Shen Qingfeng had already entered the Bingqing Hall.
Not long after—
Shen Subing stepped out from the main hall.
Her beautiful face was tense,
and within her chest—anger blazed fiercely!
“That Tan Yun… besides causing trouble for me, what else can he do!?”
“Miss, please calm your anger!”
Shen Qingfeng hurried after her, speaking gently.
“Even if Tan Yun acted improperly… he cannot die right now!”
“If he dies… Qingqiu will die with him!”
“You should go personally—perhaps you can persuade him to cancel this duel.”
“Right now… only you can save him!”
Upon hearing this—
Shen Subing became even more furious!
“If it weren’t for Qingqiu…”
“I would have killed that brat with my own hands already!”
…
1 hour later—
A large spirit vessel—
carrying Shen Subing, Shen Qingfeng,
along with the herb garden disciples of Lingshan Mountain—
descended into the center of the arena!
“So that girl really came…”
Lu Wu muttered inwardly as he stood among the disciples.
“And what can she do? Try to stop me? Hmph!”
Then—
he walked over to join the other 9 elders,
and together, they bowed.
“We pay our respects to the Chief!”
The reason all 10 elders had gathered—
was because they all understood the complicated relationship between:
Tan Yun
Shen Qingqiu
Shen Qingfeng
Shen Subing
Thus, they had already anticipated—
that the Chief would appear in person!
Only the 3rd Elder was absent.
But everyone could guess—
he was probably busy “reattaching the leg” of his grandson, Peng He…
Tan Yun’s existence—
every move he made carried immense consequences!
Because—
if he died… Shen Qingqiu would die as well!
Unless—
one day Tan Yun reached the highest realm
and could remove the poison oath within her!
In just over 1 hour—
news of Tan Yun’s life-and-death duel—
had spread throughout the entire Alchemy Line!
From disciples… to elders!
“Greetings, Chief!”
More than 60,000 disciples knelt simultaneously,
their voices booming like crashing waves!
“No need for formalities.”
Shen Subing spoke calmly.
After allowing everyone to rise—
she didn’t even glance at Tan Yun!
Because she knew—
if she looked at him for too long…
she might lose control… and kill him!
She walked straight toward Gao Yang Wushuang and Ouyang Qian.
“Tan Yun… I still have use for him.”
“Are the two of you willing to cancel this duel?”
“Uh…”
Before Gao Yang Wushuang could answer—
“Reporting to the Chief!”
Tan Yun’s voice rang out, interrupting immediately!
“Speak!”
Shen Subing’s tone turned icy.
“This disciple obeys.”
Tan Yun bowed, speaking neither humbly nor arrogantly.
“The Chief has always been just and fair.”
“Since this disciple has already accepted the challenge—”
“I ask for your permission!”
“You foolish brat! Shut up!”
Shen Qingfeng exploded in anger!
But as the Chief of the Alchemy Line—
in front of tens of thousands of disciples and elders—
now that Tan Yun had spoken…
how could Shen Subing continue to stop him?
The anger in her chest—
erupted violently!
Her lips trembled slightly—
a voice rang directly in Tan Yun’s ears,
filled with killing intent:
“You ungrateful wretch!”
“If your life weren’t tied to Qingqiu’s—”
“I would crush you into pieces with a single palm!”
“Hmph… Shen Xiaoniu.”
Tan Yun sneered inwardly.
“I won’t lower myself to argue with you!”
But outwardly—
he remained calm and composed,
speaking firmly:
“Reporting to the Chief!”
“Since entering the herb garden—”
“I have been ridiculed and looked down upon by the Alchemy Line disciples!”
“Though my status is lowly, merely a servant disciple—”
“I will never allow anyone to insult me!”
“Therefore— I dealt with Li Ziquan 2 times!”
“Later…”
“His brother, Li Zian, tried to kill me—”
“So I killed him!”
“Not long ago…”
“Ye Ling sought revenge for Li Zian—”
“He framed me and provoked a duel—”
“And in the end… I killed him!”
At this point—
Tan Yun raised his head,
his sharp gaze locking onto Gao Yang Wushuang and Ouyang Qian.
His voice turned ice-cold:
“And today…”
“They want to kill me… to avenge Ye Ling.”
“But I will prove it with my own strength—”
“Whoever dares to kill me…”
“That person—will die by my hand!”
“No matter who they are… no matter what rank they hold on the Alchemy Line Battleboard—”
“There is only 1 outcome…”
“Death!”
Upon hearing this—
Shen Subing frowned slightly,
her gaze filled with contemplation.
Tan Yun took a deep breath—
and bowed deeply with all his strength.
“Chief!”
“Today, I stand and fight—not only for my own dignity!”
“But for every servant disciple of the Lingshan Herb Garden—”
“those who don’t even have the dignity of being treated as human!”
“And also for Elder Shen, the Grand Elder of the Outer Sect—”
“who swore to protect me and bring me into the Alchemy Line!”
“Therefore—”
“whether I live… or die…”
“I ask the Chief to grant permission!”
As his words fell—
more than 700 herb garden disciples
were already on the verge of tears!
At the same time—
among the 60,000+ disciples present,
quite a number were deeply moved by Tan Yun’s words!
But in the eyes of Lu Wu’s 2,900+ disciples—
this was nothing more than a joke!
Because in their minds—
for Gao Yang Wushuang and Ouyang Qian to kill Tan Yun…
was no different from crushing a grasshopper!
“Very well…”
Shen Subing spoke calmly.
Her gaze swept across Tan Yun, Ouyang Qian, and Gao Yang Wushuang—
before she declared with authority:
“I—as the Chief of the Alchemy Line—”
“will personally preside over this life-and-death duel!”
“Thank you, Chief!”
All 3 spoke in unison.
At once—
tens of thousands of disciples stepped back simultaneously,
opening up a vast space spanning several hundred zhang!
At the center—
Tan Yun stood face to face
with—
Gao Yang Wushuang and Ouyang Qian!
“Tan Yun… today is your death—”
“Enough nonsense!”
Tan Yun cut him off instantly!
“I’m standing right here!”
“My life… is right here!”
“If you have the ability—come and take it!”
“Harmony Slaughtering God Sword Formation!”
Facing 2 opponents far stronger than Fan Jian—
Tan Yun didn’t dare be careless in the slightest!
In an instant—
he activated the sword formation!
His hair fluttered wildly—
in just a blink!
11 flying swords of top-tier spirit weapon rank—
representing the power of:
the 5 elements (metal, wood, water, fire, earth),
wind,
lightning,
time,
space,
death,
and light—
shot out from his Cosmos Ring!
They circled around Tan Yun—
and surrounded the 2 enemies as well!
At the same time—
14 streams of Hongmeng light
burst forth from the 7 Hongmeng Nascent Souls within his spirit pool!
They shot through his brow—
and infused into the 11 flying swords!
In an instant—
all 11 swords began spinning wildly!
Releasing Hongmeng light curtains stretching hundreds of zhang!
Forming the—
Hongmeng Slaughtering God Sword Formation
with a radius of 300 zhang!
Enveloping all 3 of them inside!
“Just a trivial trick!”
Gao Yang Wushuang and Ouyang Qian sneered inwardly.
But—
in the very next moment!
Both of them felt—
everything around them distort and fall into chaos!
At the same time—
the sword formation completely sealed off all external perception!
The 60,000+ disciples—
could see nothing, hear nothing!
Only the elders and the Chief—
could vaguely make out the blurred figures of the 3 inside!
“Whether it’s just a trick… you’ll find out soon enough!”
Tan Yun soared into the air—
striking first with a killing roar!
“Demonic Storm Maw!”
“Lightning Prison!”
He did not use the ultimate techniques of the 5 elements!
Because he knew—
even with an 11× amplification,
it still wouldn’t be enough to kill both of them!
And at the same time—
he had already laid out his plan…
for this decisive battle!
