The Supreme Being Against Heaven
Chapter Summary
He immediately turned around and sped toward Pangtao Immortal Mountain, 40,000 li away… — Not long after— When Tan Yun, on the verge of death, arrived above Changling Immortal Mountain on his spirit boat— His vision blurred. I beg you… wake up!” “Your life has been so hard… back then, everyone saw you as worthless, and the inner disciples trampled you like trash…” “And now that you were about to rise to fame in the alchemy lineage… how could you die like this!?” “Wake up… wake up!!” He kept shak...
At the same time—within the विशाल martial arena—
The explosion of the “Mid-Grade Mustard Seed Space-Time Pagoda” thundered across the heavens and earth!
Its power was so overwhelming that the training ground, paved with exceptionally sturdy “dark violet stone,” cracked apart within a radius of 15 li, forming विशाल, shocking fissures!
The terrifying shockwaves even caused several surrounding mountain peaks to collapse with roaring crashes. Dust billowed into the sky as massive الصخور fell like meteors, slamming into the ground around the edges of the arena!
Another 999 Mid-Grade Mustard Seed Space-Time Pagodas collapsed in succession like falling dominoes!
The Merit Granting Hall had already been torn apart into dust by the earlier impact!
The enormous arena had turned into complete ruins—utterly devastated!
Only the “Supreme Mustard Seed Space-Time Pagoda” still stood tall at the very center of the training ground.
At that moment—
The 999 disciples who had yet to recover from their shock rushed out one after another from the collapsed pagodas.
Everyone stared at the catastrophic scene before them in a daze.
After a brief silence—
Screams of भय erupted into the night!
“What exactly happened!? How did the training ground end up like this!?”
“That’s right! Could it be that experts from another faction have invaded!?”
“This is too terrifying… just who could have done this…”
“Look over there! Pagoda No. 678 has been destroyed!”
“Does anyone know which disciple was cultivating inside…?”
“I remember now! It was Senior Brother Tan Yun!”
“With the pagoda destroyed like this… I’m afraid Senior Brother Tan is already dead…”
“No! I have to inform Elder 2!”
“I’ll notify my master as well!”
“Hurry!”
In an instant—
The panicked disciples leapt onto their flying swords, scattering toward their respective peaks to report the incident to the elders…
—
At the same time—
“You little bastard! You won’t escape!”
Pang Shiyuan sneered viciously as he stared at the spirit boat fleeing 15 li ahead.
Inside the spirit boat—
Tan Yun, battered to the brink of death, was no longer aware of anything.
There was only one thought in his mind—
Escape!
Survive!
Time passed bit by bit.
Half a shichen went by.
When the spirit boat was only 300 li away from Changling Immortal Mountain—
Pang Shiyuan, riding his flying sword, appeared in the void just 5 li behind!
“Closer… just a bit closer…!”
Tan Yun raised his pale, bloodless hand and struggled to stand.
Suddenly—
He shouted in extreme delight:
“Good! Excellent! Elder Shen, I’ve arrived! Hurry and save me!”
Hearing this—
Pang Shiyuan, 5 li behind, froze midair!
His eyes filled with alarm!
At that moment—
An aged voice suddenly echoed beside his ear:
“Tan Yun, do not be afraid. This old man has come to save you. I would like to see who dares to hunt you down!”
Pang Shiyuan, already wary, was instantly thrown into panic!
He immediately turned and fled!
In just a breath, he had already escaped 5 li!
But then—
His body stiffened, and his face twisted with rage!
“That voice… it’s not Shen Qingfeng!”
“Damn it! That brat tricked me!”
Realizing this—
Pang Shiyuan quickly released his spiritual sense, covering Tan Yun who had already fled 100 li away.
Within the vast emptiness—
There was no trace of Shen Qingfeng at all!
“This Tan Yun is truly cunning!”
Pang Shiyuan was so furious he nearly went mad.
But he knew—
There was no way he could catch up anymore.
Moreover—
A massive disturbance had already occurred at the arena tonight.
After this—
The Sect Master would certainly summon all elders, including him, to the Ice Spirit Hall for questioning!
At this thought—
Pang Shiyuan frowned deeply.
“No… I must come up with an excuse!”
“Otherwise, if Shen Subing sees me injured… she will definitely suspect me!”
The more he thought about it, the more fearful he became.
He immediately turned around and sped toward Pangtao Immortal Mountain, 40,000 li away…
—
Not long after—
When Tan Yun, on the verge of death, arrived above Changling Immortal Mountain on his spirit boat—
His vision blurred.
He could no longer control the spirit boat!
It plummeted straight down toward the mountain peak!
BOOM!!
A thunderous explosion echoed across the entire Changling Immortal Mountain!
The whole mountain trembled slightly!
“What the hell is going on!?”
Da Niu rushed out of his hut at high speed.
“Da Niu! What’s wrong!?”
“What happened!? An earthquake!?”
The other herb garden disciples ran out in panic.
Da Niu sniffed and spoke dismissively:
“It’s just an earthquake. Who would dare invade Changling Immortal Mountain?”
“Go back to sleep—”
He turned around to leave.
But suddenly—
His voice stopped mid-sentence.
Da Niu rubbed his eyes hard and stared toward a massive crater several hundred zhang wide nearby.
In an instant—
His face turned deathly pale with shock!
“Everyone… this is bad!!”
“That’s Senior Brother Tan’s spirit boat!!”
“Something has happened to Senior Brother Tan!!”
His roar shook the surroundings!
Da Niu charged forward like a raging beast!
All the trees in his path—
Were smashed into pieces by his powerful body!
When he reached the spirit boat—
The sight nearly made his heart stop!
Tan Yun… now looked no different from a “blood-soaked skeleton”!
He turned back toward the disciples rushing over and shouted at the top of his lungs:
“Go get Deacon Shen! Hurry!! Senior Brother Tan is about to die!!”
“We’re going right now!”
3 disciples leapt onto their flying swords and rushed toward the back mountain!
—
“Senior Brother Tan… waaah… don’t die… wake up! It’s me, Da Niu!”
“Senior Brother Tan, please wake up… who did this to you…”
“Senior Brother Tan! Please open your eyes! You even climbed the Supreme Pagoda—you’re this strong, you can’t die!”
“Heavens, please have mercy! Don’t let Senior Brother Tan die!”
“Please… waaah…”
Crying filled the air.
Over 700 herb garden disciples gathered around the spirit boat.
Seeing Tan Yun’s horrifying condition—
Every single one of them knelt to the ground,
Crying and praying to the heavens—
Begging for him to survive…
Before long—
Shen Qingfeng hurried over, shouting sternly:
“Move aside!”
The disciples, weeping, stepped back to clear a path.
The moment Shen Qingfeng stepped onto the spirit boat—
The sight before him made his vision go dark.
How… could a person end up in such a state?
And still be alive!?
His body trembled as tears streamed down his face.
He dropped to his knees before Tan Yun.
With shaking hands—he slowly extended his fingers to the bone near Tan Yun’s nostrils.
No breath…
He shook his head violently.
“No… impossible! With such a tough fate, how could this kid die!?”
Forcing himself, he raised his trembling hand—
And reached beneath Tan Yun’s ribs.
At his fingertips—
A chilling cold!
The heart… had already stopped beating!
“No!!!”
Shen Qingfeng collapsed to his knees on the spirit boat,
Letting out a long, anguished roar before coughing up blood!
That cry was filled with boundless despair and grief!
“Heavens!! Take my life instead…”
he shouted hoarsely,
“Spare Tan Yun! Please… trade my life for his!”
He broke down completely,
Cradling Tan Yun’s blood-soaked skull, shaking it again and again.
“Tan Yun! I beg you… wake up!”
“Your life has been so hard… back then, everyone saw you as worthless, and the inner disciples trampled you like trash…”
“And now that you were about to rise to fame in the alchemy lineage… how could you die like this!?”
“Wake up… wake up!!”
He kept shaking Tan Yun’s head,
Calling his name over and over—
Hoping, just once more, he would open his eyes…
But the body in his arms—
Grew colder and colder…
That bone-chilling cold—
Crushed Shen Qingfeng’s heart into pieces!
—
He cried.
And the more than 700 disciples behind him—
Cried as well.
From Shen Qingfeng’s sorrowful wails—
Everyone understood…
Tan Yun was “dead.”
Senior Brother Tan… the one who once helped them reclaim their dignity—
Was gone…
The man who climbed the 108-story pagoda despite countless injuries—
Was no more…
A strong wind swept through everyone’s hair—
Yet it could not carry away the tears in their eyes…
The heart-wrenching cries—
Echoed between heaven and earth,
Lingering without end…
—
Half a shichen later—
Shen Qingfeng’s voice had grown hoarse from crying.
Holding Tan Yun’s body, he staggered to his feet—
Then roared in despair,
His voice echoing across 100 li!
“The fall of a genius—is the loss of the alchemy lineage!”
“And the loss of my Huangfu Sacred Sect!!”
“Tan Yun… I will give you a burial worthy of your name!”
“Do not worry… I swear I will find the murderer and avenge you!”
Tears streamed down his face
As he carried Tan Yun toward the mountain peak.
The disciples followed behind—
Their sobs unceasing…
—
Da Niu’s eyes were swollen red from crying.
He looked at everyone and spoke through sobs:
“When Senior Brother Tan was alive… he treated us so well…”
“Now that he’s gone… let’s dig his grave together and send him off one last time!”
After speaking—
He turned around
And began digging the ground with both hands like a madman!
Dust scattered everywhere.
His fingernails tore off—
All ten fingers drenched in blood!
“Senior Brother Tan! We’re here to send you off!”
“Senior Brother Tan… may you rest in peace!”
The disciples knelt down,
Using their bloodied bare hands—
To dig into the ground as hard as stone!
Did it hurt?
Of course—it hurt!
But the pain in their hands—
Was nothing compared to the pain of losing Senior Brother Tan!
They would use their “blood”—
To build Tan Yun’s grave!
They would remember the pain in their ten fingers today—
So they would remember him forever!
—
Dawn arrived.
Golden light spread across the land.
White mourning cloths fluttered over Changling Immortal Mountain.
At the mountain peak—
A lone grave stood in silence…
—
Inside the dim coffin—
Tan Yun… whose body was almost nothing but a skeleton—
Suddenly—
A sharp glint flashed within his once lifeless eyes!
