The Supreme Being Against Heaven

The moment Tan Yun finished speaking, all the disciples of the Eternal Immortal Sect felt the same thing—
This man… was arrogant to the extreme!
He actually dared to declare that he would accept challenges from all inner disciples of their sect!
Just how conceited was that?!
—
“You arrogant fool!”
Ruyan Wuji sneered coldly.
“I was just looking for a way to kill you. Now that you’ve delivered your life to me yourself, how could I refuse?”
—
“Good! I accept!”
—
“Tan Yun… have you gone mad?!”
Shen Subing’s heart trembled, anxiety overwhelming her.
—
All 200 inner disciples of the Divine Soul Immortal Palace looked at Tan Yun with contempt.
In their minds, there was only one thought—
This person truly does not know death.
A mere 9th level of the Nascent Soul Realm, yet he dared to challenge all the inner disciples of the Eternal Immortal Sect?!
—
On the other side, Tantai Xuanzhong took a deep breath and said in a heavy tone,
“Tan Yun, I understand your intentions… but you must know your limits.”
“If you withdraw now, it’s not too late.”
—
“Reporting to Sect Master, this disciple will not take back his words!”
Tan Yun replied decisively.
—
No matter what…
He had to seize the opportunity of the “Four-Branch Competition”
And enter the “Eternal Immortal Realm” through the quota of the Huangfu Shengzong.
—
Moreover…
He had to pave the way for his sect’s disciples to enter the “Divine Battlefield” of the Divine Soul Immortal Palace in the future!
—
Because if the remaining 11 Ancient Divine Swords… were not in the Eternal Immortal Realm, but instead in the Divine Battlefield—
Then he would never find them!
—
“Very well… good luck.”
Tantai Xuanzhong nodded, a trace of admiration appearing in his eyes.
—
“Thank you, Sect Master.”
Tan Yun cupped his fists, then lifted his head and looked firmly at Zhuge Yu.
—
His next words… shook everyone in the Huangfu Shengzong to their core!
—
Tan Yun raised his hand and pointed at the 200 disciples of the Divine Soul Immortal Palace.
Then he declared loudly—
—
“Sect Master Zhuge!”
“I challenge all the inner disciples you have brought!”
“If even one of them can defeat me—I will let you deal with me however you wish!”
—
“But if your disciples lose…”
“For the next 100 years, the Divine Soul Immortal Palace must allow the Huangfu Shengzong to enter the ‘Divine Battlefield’ for training!”
—
In Tan Yun’s understanding—
The Divine Battlefield opens once every 10 years.
Within 100 years, he would have 10 chances to enter!
—
If the Ancient Divine Swords were truly there…
He had to find them!
—
“Hahaha!”
Zhuge Yu laughed coldly, looking at Tan Yun as if he were an ant.
“I agree.”
“But… you should survive the next battles first!”
—
In her eyes—
The Divine Soul Immortal Palace was the No.1 power in the Heavenly Punishment Mountain Range.
Even the Eternal Immortal Sect could not compare.
So what was a mere 9th level Nascent Soul servant worth?
—
“Brother Tan, have you lost your mind?!”
Daniu trembled, his voice filled with worry, just like the other herb garden disciples.
—
At the same time, all 200 disciples of the Divine Soul Immortal Palace looked at Tan Yun with disdain.
—
In their minds…
Even if Tan Yun managed to survive against the inner disciples of the Eternal Immortal Sect—
In the end, their “Saintess,” who had come along with the sect master, would personally take action!
—
And at that moment…
Tan Yun would surely die!
—
At that time, the Great Elder of the inner alchemy branch of the Eternal Immortal Sect cupped his fists and asked Ruyan Wuji,
“Sect Master, who shall we send to fight?”
—
Ruyan Wuji revealed a confident smile, as if everything was under her control.
—
“Recall Chen’er first.”
“Let him deal with Tan Yun.”
—
“After that… it won’t be too late to play with the ‘Saintess.’”

When they heard this, Ruyan Wuji and Zhuge Yu paused slightly before turning toward the voice.

They saw an outer disciple of the Huangfu Shengzong, merely at the 9th level of the Nascent Soul Realm, stepping forward to issue a challenge.

A mocking smile immediately appeared in both of their eyes.

—

The 8 elders of the Eternal Immortal Sect, along with the disciples of the 2 ancient sects, all shook their heads and sneered when they saw Tan Yun step forward.

“It seems Huangfu Shengzong has truly run out of people, to actually send a lowly servant disciple to seek death.”

—

“Tan Yun! Don’t!” Zhongwu Shiyao shook her head, her beautiful face filled with panic. “Even Huangfu Tingfeng, ranked 40 on the Crouching Dragon List, couldn’t win. How could you—”

—

“Shut up!” Murong Shishi snapped coldly.

“This is not a place for you to speak.”

—

“Master…” Zhongwu Shiyao tried to continue, but Gongsun Ruoxi quickly held her back and shook her head, signaling her not to say more.

—

At the same time, Gongsun Ruoxi silently stared at Tan Yun, her heart tightening.

She had to admit… Tan Yun had easily defeated Cao Bin, who ranked 180 on the Crouching Dragon List.

But Huangfu Tingfeng was ranked 40.

That was not something Tan Yun could overcome.

—

“Brother Tan… you shouldn’t have stepped out now…” Da Niu said with a trembling voice, his body unsteady.

“Yes, Brother Tan…” the herb garden disciples were all extremely anxious.

—

Tan Yun smiled faintly and said calmly,

“No need to worry.”

—

At that moment, Shen Subing turned around abruptly, her eyes as cold as ice.

“This has nothing to do with you—be quiet.”

Although her tone was cold, Tan Yun could still sense a trace of concern hidden in her eyes.

—

In Tan Yun’s view, he knew Shen Subing still hoped he would bring honor to the alchemy faction in the “9 internal branches” competition. Her words… were simply meant to stop him from going to his death.

—

“Tan Yun,” Tang Xinying frowned slightly. “I heard from Subing that you have some ability, but you’re not even within the top 150 of the Crouching Dragon List. This is not the time to show off. Return to the sect with us.”

—

“Return?”

Tan Yun almost laughed inwardly, but restrained himself.

“If I go back… when will I ever enter the ‘Eternal Immortal Realm’ again?”

—

He ignored all objections.

There was only one goal in his mind—
to enter the Eternal Immortal Realm and find the remaining 11 Ancient Divine Swords.

—

Tantai Xuanzhong glanced at Tan Yun, his expression holding 70% displeasure and 30% admiration.

Displeased because this herb garden disciple was embarrassing the sect.

But admirable… because of his courage.

—

“Tan Yun… your intention to defend the sect’s honor is commendable.”

“But this battle… is canceled.”

—

Hearing this, Tan Yun cursed inwardly.

“These people… understand nothing.”

But he said nothing.

Because at this moment—he had already formed a new plan.

—

“Forget it… no need to waste time.”

“Today, I’ll make sure the 4-branch competition proceeds as scheduled.”

“Afterward… I’ll demand more ‘Sacred Flame Essence’ as a reward.”

—

Suddenly, Tan Yun knelt down and spoke passionately,

“Sect Master!”

“In my heart, Huangfu Shengzong is still the strongest ancient sect—just like in the era when the ancestors were alive!”

“The sect’s honor must not be trampled upon!”

“This disciple is willing to give his life for the sect. I ask for permission to fight!”

—

Hearing this, all disciples of the 8 branches were shaken.

Even Tantai Xuanzhong was stunned for a moment.

—

Seeing this, Tan Yun placed his hands behind his back and subtly signaled Da Niu—raising his thumb.

—

Da Niu instantly understood.

Thud!

He knelt down forcefully and shouted,

“Sect Master, please allow Brother Tan to demonstrate his loyalty!”

—

Immediately, all 50+ disciples of the Spirit Mountain Herb Garden knelt down in unison.

“Sect Master, please grant Brother Tan permission to fight for the sect!”
