The Supreme Being Against Heaven
Chapter Summary
“If back then… someone had discovered that all 3 souls and 7 spirits were injured at the same time, she could have been treated simply by refining the ‘3 Souls 7 Spirits Origin Pill’…” “But now… it’s too late!” After thinking for a moment, Tan Yun turned to the elders and asked thoughtfully, “Little girl Tang… where was she injured?” The 5th Elder quickly answered truthfully, “Elder, Chief Tang was injured after returning from the Fallen God Valley Trial, more than 1 year ago.” Tan Yun frowned. ...
Thinking up to this point, Tan Yun took a deep breath.
It seemed… he had no choice but to use the most dangerous method to examine the condition of the black-clothed woman.
He lowered his head slightly and whispered beside her, while extending his spiritual sense into her 3 souls and 7 spirits.
“Little girl Tang, don’t be afraid. I am here to save you… If you can still hear my voice, then control your 3 souls and 7 spirits and send me a response.”
After speaking—
Her 3 souls and 7 spirits remained completely still, showing no reaction at all.
Tan Yun frowned and spoke again in a softer voice,
“Little girl Tang, don’t give up on life… Can you hear me?”
“…”
He called out again and again—
Time passed: a full 15 minutes.
Finally—
Tan Yun sensed a slight tremor coming from her Life Spirit!
The Life Spirit was the core of the 3 souls and 7 spirits.
If the Life Spirit dissipated, the cultivator would die without question.
If other spirits were shattered, one might become mentally impaired or immobile, but not necessarily die.
Feeling that faint response, Tan Yun’s heart tightened. He quickly spoke again,
“Little girl Tang, I must enter your 3 souls and 7 spirits to investigate the root cause of your injuries. Only this method can save you. Do you understand?”
After speaking—
The Life Spirit trembled again, so faint it was almost imperceptible.
“Good… since you understand, then follow my instructions.”
Tan Yun said gently,
“When I enter your 3 souls and 7 spirits, it will be extremely dangerous. Do not resist. If you resist in your current condition, you will die instantly, and your soul will shatter!”
“Do you understand?”
Immediately—
The Life Spirit trembled once again.
To be sure, Tan Yun added,
“If you understand, then tremble 2 times. This concerns your life. Do not be careless.”
Then—
The spirit trembled 2 times, exactly as he requested.
“Very good… since you have released your resistance, I will begin.”
As his voice fell—
Tan Yun transformed his spiritual sense into extremely fine threads, gently probing into her Heavenly Soul.
Inside—
His consciousness entered a boundless darkness.
Pitch black… so dark that even extending his hand, he could not see his own fingers.
He quickly withdrew and reinserted his spiritual sense, checking each part one by one—the Earth Soul, Life Soul, and all 7 spirits.
The result—
Everywhere was darkness. No trace of vitality remained.
“I understand now…”
“It is not only the Heavenly Soul or Central Spirit that is damaged—all 3 souls and 7 spirits are severely injured!”
“At first… the Life Spirit must have been the most severely damaged. If the other spirits had not been examined, no one would have realized they were also injured…”
“Before the 2nd Elder of the Alchemy Line was executed, he likely only detected damage to the Life Spirit, and then gave her the Soul-Revival Pill.”
“On the surface it seemed to recover… but in reality, the Life Spirit was never truly restored!”
“After that, the Heavenly Soul and Central Spirit began to show symptoms—and by then… it was already too late!”
“Thus, the elders of the Sacred Sect’s Alchemy Line concluded she was beyond saving…”
Tan Yun took a deep breath, his expression grave.
“If back then… someone had discovered that all 3 souls and 7 spirits were injured at the same time, she could have been treated simply by refining the ‘3 Souls 7 Spirits Origin Pill’…”
“But now… it’s too late!”
After thinking for a moment, Tan Yun turned to the elders and asked thoughtfully,
“Little girl Tang… where was she injured?”
The 5th Elder quickly answered truthfully,
“Elder, Chief Tang was injured after returning from the Fallen God Valley Trial, more than 1 year ago.”
Tan Yun frowned.
“An outer sect trial?”
“Yes,” the 5th Elder nodded.
Upon hearing this, a sharp light flashed in Tan Yun’s eyes.
“Even while injured, she was still able to kill an Ice Lightning Demonic Eagle of Tribulation Crossing Stage 4 with a single sword strike…”
“Then her strength must have been at least at the peak of the Divine Sense Realm!”
“So what kind of beast in the Fallen God Valley could injure her 3 souls and 7 spirits at the same time?”
Suddenly—
Something flashed in his mind.
His expression changed instantly.
“I understand!”
“It wasn’t a beast that injured her!”
“But rather—the Ten-Thousand Dragon Heavenly Sealing Forbidden Formation that I once set up in front of the Heavenly Divine Hall!”
“Yes… it must be that formation!”
Tan Yun’s certainty came from a clear memory—
After the black-clothed woman had slain the Ice Lightning Demonic Eagle with a single sword strike, a voice of an old man had echoed from the void.
That old man had said that even after 300 years of studying the formation, he still could not break it—and had even been injured and forced to retreat.
From that single statement, Tan Yun immediately concluded that the black-clothed woman, the old man, and the others had all been injured while attempting to break the “Ten-Thousand Dragon Heavenly Sealing Forbidden Formation” that he himself had once set up.
Tan Yun turned to the elders and asked,
“When Chief Tang returned from the Fallen God Valley… was everyone injured?”
The 5th Elder answered without hesitation,
“Yes, Elder. At that time, the 9 core disciples were ordered by the Sect Master to enter the Fallen God Valley for investigation. After returning, all of them were injured to varying degrees—Chief Tang was the most severely injured.”
Tan Yun immediately understood that the so-called “investigation” was actually an attempt to break the formation and force entry into the Heavenly Divine Hall.
He asked again thoughtfully,
“Have the other leaders recovered?”
The 5th Elder quickly replied,
“Yes, Elder. The others recovered fully within about 1–2 months.”
“Mm… I understand.”
Tan Yun nodded, his expression gradually relaxing.
He knew very well that the Ten-Thousand Dragon Heavenly Sealing Forbidden Formation he had set up indeed possessed the power to damage the 3 souls and 7 spirits.
Anyone attempting to forcibly break it would immediately trigger the formation’s Soul-Extinguishing Forbidden Breath.
“It must be that Soul-Sealing Breath… that invaded her 3 souls and 7 spirits!”
Tan Yun thought inwardly.
Slowly, he raised both hands in front of his chest, and a strand of spiritual energy condensed into a glowing sphere.
Then he began tapping it with his fingers continuously.
With each tap, a miniature formation base—about the size of a thumb—appeared within the sphere.
The elders’ eyes widened in shock.
Even though they did not understand formations, they could clearly feel it—
This was likely a true legendary spirit-forged formation!
Tan Yun’s fingers moved faster and faster, like countless afterimages piercing into the sphere of energy.
In just a moment—
The sphere expanded into a 3-zhang-wide formation orb!
Inside it, over 36,000 formation nodes floated and rotated like drifting tadpoles, forming an unimaginable spectacle.
“Ten-Thousand Dragon Breaking-Seal Formation—activate!”
A low command echoed in Tan Yun’s mind.
Instantly, the 3-zhang formation orb floated above the black-clothed woman’s body.
Tan Yun stepped forward, gently lifted her from the bed, and placed her within the formation.
The moment her body entered, a mysterious force supported her, causing her to float freely instead of resting in his arms.
Her figure hovered silently at the center of the formation.
In an instant—
All 36,000 formation nodes transformed into 1,000 small dragon spirits, each about 3 inches long, circling rapidly around her body.
The scene left all the elders even more awestruck and respectful.
“Forbidden Soul-Sealing Breath—be purged!”
Tan Yun said in a low voice.
Under everyone’s shocked gaze—
Faint strands of black energy slowly drifted out from between the woman’s brows, one thread after another.
Before being devoured and erased completely by the formation’s dragon spirits.
