The Supreme Being Against Heaven

Tan Yun stared without blinking—

Although Pang Shiyuan’s left hand was covered in age-worn wrinkles, upon closer inspection—

a faint “pale whiteness” could be seen hidden within the creases!

—

With his experience—

Tan Yun was instantly certain!

Pang Shiyuan had used some method to disguise the newly attached left arm—

making it appear like an old one!

—

“Pang Shiyuan…”

“I’ll let you live a little longer.”

“One day… I’ll make you kneel before me…”

“And torture you piece by piece… until you die!”

Tan Yun gritted his teeth and spoke coldly, before lowering his head to grab Sun Anbei—

and threw him straight into the blazing alchemy furnace!

—

“Tan Yun… didn’t you say you would spare me!?”

A hoarse scream echoed from within the furnace.

“You despicable bastard! You beast!”

“Even if I become a ghost—I won’t let you go!!”

—

Tan Yun let out a cold laugh.

“Sun Anbei… I only said I would ‘consider’ sparing you.”

“I never said I actually would.”

He pressed his palm onto the man’s head, sneering.

“If you want to become a ghost—then come find me.”

“Even as a ghost… I can still destroy you!”

“Heh… prepare to turn into ashes!”

—

Whoosh!

Tan Yun raised his left hand—

The furnace lid, weighing several thousand jin, floated into the air—

before landing steadily in his palm!

“Bang!”

The lid slammed shut!

—

“Let me out—Aaaah!!”

Agonized screams echoed from inside the furnace.

In just a few breaths—

Sun Anbei’s body “melted” until only bones remained!

And in the blink of an eye—

even the bones turned into ashes!

—

“Go!”

Tan Yun waved his hand—

The “Primordial Flame” surged forward, devouring the natal flame beneath the furnace!

—

Now—

the Primordial Flame had reached “Level 3, Early Stage”!

It could burn even “low-grade treasures” into ashes!

To advance further—

it needed to absorb at least a “mid-grade fire-element essence”!

—

As for Sun Anbei’s flame—

although it was only low-grade—

it was still “better than nothing”!

—

After finishing everything—

Tan Yun frowned—

and began planning his next move.

—

He had previously given Tantai Zhongde 1 year to prepare 11 types of weapon-refining materials.

Now—

more than 5 months had already passed.

—

In the eyes of the entire sect—

“he was already dead.”

—

Thus—

for safety—

he would not appear at the grand arena again!

—

“I’ll go into seclusion for another 6 months.”

“After that… I’ll find Huangfu Shengxing to collect the materials!”

—

Having decided—

Tan Yun shot out of the cave—

his figure vanishing into the night without a trace!

—

2 hours later—

morning light rose from the east.

—

Pang Tao Immortal Mountain

—

“3rd Elder! Something big has happened—something huge!!”

Liu Dahai rushed into the cave, panting heavily.

—

Pang Shiyuan was startled—

and immediately set up a soundproof barrier!

Cold sweat covered his forehead.

“Steward Liu… could it be that the Sect Master knows I killed Tan Yun!?”

—

“No… no!”

—

Before he could finish—

Pang Shiyuan let out a sigh of relief and smiled.

“Don’t scare me like that!”

“As long as it’s not that—everything else is minor!”

—

“3rd Elder… this is not minor!”

Liu Dahai said, trembling.

“Your direct disciple—Sun Anbei…”

“And your nephew—Pang He…”

“They’ve all been killed!!”

—

“What!?”

Pang Shiyuan roared—

his eyes nearly bursting!

—

“I checked Pang He’s cave—no body was found.”

“And the life lamps of the other 10 disciples… all extinguished!”

“As for Sun Anbei…”

“He was likely burned alive inside the furnace…”

“Only ashes remain…”

—

Pang Shiyuan’s aged body trembled violently.

Tears streamed down his face.

“How… how could this be…”

“Who… who would dare do such a thing!!”

—

Among his thousands of disciples—

only “Sun Anbei”—

had the potential to become a

“low-grade Grand Alchemist”!

—

He was his “only hope”!

—

“My beloved disciple… who killed you!?”

“He’er… your uncle has failed you!”

“Your father entrusted you to me… but I couldn’t protect you!”

—

“I… am truly useless!!”

—

Pang Shiyuan cried for a full 30 minutes—

before gradually calming down.

—

He simply couldn’t imagine—

who would dare attack

his disciple and nephew—

after “Tan Yun was already dead”!

—

“3rd Elder… what should we do?”

Liu Dahai asked cautiously.

“Should we report Sun Anbei’s death to the Sect Master?”

—

“Of course we must!”

Pang Shiyuan said angrily.

“Anbei was 1 of the 3 geniuses of the alchemy line!”

“His death is directly tied to the great competition of the 3 ancient sects in 23 months!”

—

“If we hide it…”

“When the Sect Master finds out—she will be furious!”

—

“I will use the Sect Master’s authority…”

“To find the murderer!”

“And when I do—”

“I’ll tear them into pieces!!”

—

…

—

“What… Anbei is dead!?”

Inside Bingqing Hall—

Shen Subing’s face turned pale.

—

“Sect Master… he was my only disciple…”

Pang Shiyuan knelt, weeping.

“I devoted my entire life to him…”

“Please order a thorough investigation!”

—

“Stand up first…”

Shen Subing pressed her temples and sighed.

—

“This year… our sect is plagued with misfortune…”

“Tan Yun just died…”

“And now—Sun Anbei as well…”

—

As Pang Shiyuan lowered his head—

his eyes flickered briefly—

before returning to normal.

He cupped his fists and spoke with a trembling voice:

—

“Sect Master…”

“I believe…”

“This must be the work of another faction!”

“They killed Tan Yun first… then my disciple!”

—

“You should order 2nd Elder to protect ‘Luo Fan’…”

“And 6th Elder to guard ‘Song Hong’ closely!”

—

“If anything happens to them…”

“Our alchemy line will lose all hope in the 3-sect alchemy competition!”

—

“And…”

“I believe the secret of Tan Yun reaching the 108th floor has been leaked!”

—

“The other 8 factions grew jealous…”

“And thus plotted to kill him!”

—

Shen Subing remained silent for a long time—

before speaking slowly:

—

“What you say… makes sense.”

“Pass down my orders—”

“Let 2nd Elder and 6th Elder stay by Luo Fan and Song Hong’s side for the next 2 years!”

—

“And…”

“Send your disciples with ‘Soul-Sniffing Beasts’…”

“To track down the murderer of Sun Anbei—immediately!”

—

The entire hall—

felt as cold as ice.

—

The wind howled—

Tan Yun’s hair fluttered wildly.

The surrounding space distorted like rippling water—

—

Suddenly!

He released his “spiritual sense” to its absolute limit!

Like a formless tide—

it spread in all directions!

—

10 li…
100 li…
200 li…
300 li…

It broke through to 380 li—

and still didn’t stop—

until it fully covered a radius of 500 li!

—

That meant—

Tan Yun’s spiritual sense had reached the 3rd level of the Soul Refinement Realm!

—

Yet he wasn’t surprised at all!

Because now—

he had not only reached the 9th level of the Embryonic Soul Realm

but had also cultivated the “Primordial Chaos Body” to the peak of Stage 2!

—

His physical body—

was as strong as a top-grade spirit weapon!

With just a flick of his finger—

he could shatter high-grade spirit weapons!

—

With such a body—

having spiritual power comparable to a 3rd level Soul Refinement cultivator—

was only “normal”!

—

“Primordial Divine Step!”

—

Whoosh!

Tan Yun’s figure—

cloaked in the Turtle Breath Robe—

vanished in an instant!

Like a streak of black lightning tearing through the sky!

—

When he reappeared—

he was already 300 zhang away!

—

His speed—

had increased from 260 zhang → 300 zhang in the same time span!

—

As his cultivation rose—

and his body strengthened—

not only did his speed surge!

Even the power of the

“Primordial God-Slaying Sword Formation”

became vastly more terrifying!

—

“Among those in the Embryonic Soul Realm…”

“I want to see who can still rival me!”

—

His fighting spirit surged!

But suddenly—

he froze!

—

A sharp glint flashed in his eyes!

—

“Hm!?”

—

He sensed—

that the spirit beast pouch at his waist was trembling slightly!

—

Back when the mid-grade space-time pagoda exploded—

Tan Yun knew the pouch couldn’t withstand the impact,

so he had stored it in his Universe Ring.

—

Inside it—

were his bonded beasts:

the “Golden Dragon Divine Lion”
and
the “Heaven-Slaying Demonic Ape”!

—

Although living beings couldn’t stay inside the ring for long—

a short duration was fine!

—

Later—

after he was buried in the coffin—

he had taken the pouch out again.

—

Now—

when he sent his spiritual sense inside—

—

he saw a pair of “familiar eyes” once more!

—

Inside the pouch—

the Demonic Ape was still asleep.

But beside it—

the Golden Dragon Divine Lion—

had raised its house-sized head—

staring at the sealed opening!

—

“ROAR!!”

—

A continuous roar erupted!

Filled with…

deep longing!

—

“Hahaha! The heavens truly favor me!”

Tan Yun burst into laughter—

withdrew his spiritual sense—

—

“Big guy! Come out and let me see you!”

—

“ROAR!!”

—

Whoosh!!

A streak of golden light shot into the sky!

So fast that even Tan Yun could barely track it!

—

“ROAR!!”

—

The roar shook the entire valley!

—

A massive figure—

100 zhang tall—

appeared in midair!

—

The Golden Dragon Divine Lion!

Its golden fur shimmered brilliantly!

Its wings stretched 200 zhang wide—

covering the sky itself!

—

Its aura—

at Growth Stage 3—

spread in all directions!

—

Even Tan Yun felt his heart tremble!

—

In an instant—

birds flying in the sky dropped onto branches—

trembling!

—

Butterflies in the valley froze midair!

All Level 1 beasts—

fell prostrate on the ground!

—

Their eyes filled with

instinctive terror!

—

“ROAR!!”

—

The Golden Dragon Divine Lion dived down—

like a bolt of golden lightning!

Winds howled violently!

—

It landed before Tan Yun—

and then—

knelt immediately!

—

Its massive eyes—

were filled with

reverence… and longing!

—

Even though the Turtle Breath Robe concealed Tan Yun’s appearance—

from his voice alone—

it recognized him instantly—

as its master!

—

“Good! Very good!”

“It’s good that you’ve awakened!”

—

Tan Yun stroked its head—

his face filled with uncontrollable joy!

—

“I’ve waited far too long for you…”

—

Then—

his gaze turned icy cold—

filled with killing intent!

—

“Pang Shiyuan…”

“Qiu Yongming…”

—

“Your day of death…”

“is drawing near!”
