The Supreme Being Against Heaven

--Translated by likesnovel--

"Senior Sister…"

Nangong Ruxue knelt beside Nangong Yuqin, whose blood flowed from all **7 orifices**, crying uncontrollably.

Zhuge Yu released her spiritual sense to examine Nangong Yuqin’s body—

And discovered… her heart had already stopped beating!

"Qin’er… my beloved disciple… if you die like this, how can I face your parents?!"

Zhuge Yu’s grief-stricken cries shook everyone present.

She couldn’t understand—

How Nangong Yuqin, who cultivated the **Divine Soul Ascension Scripture**, allowing her to reach **Level 2 of the Soul Refining Realm** in such a short time—

And who had mastered the **Nameless Sword Art**—

Could end up dying at the hands of Tan Yun, who was only at **Level 9 of the Fetal Soul Realm**!

As the eldest princess of the **Nangong Sacred Dynasty**—

Nangong Yuqin had been entrusted to Zhuge Yu’s care since the day she fell unconscious.

If news of her death reached the ears of the Sacred Emperor—

The consequences would be beyond imagination!

"Senior Sister…"

Nangong Ruxue hugged Nangong Yuqin’s limp body, her tears flowing endlessly.

"Tantai Xuanzhong!"

Zhuge Yu suddenly turned, pointing at Tan Yun—who was barely breathing in Tantai Xuanzhong’s arms—

And roared like a madwoman:

"Hand him over to me! I will kill him!"

"Ridiculous!"

Tantai Xuanzhong thundered in fury.

"Tan Yun and Nangong Yuqin fought a life-and-death duel! Her death is due to her own lack of strength!"

"Tantai Xuanzhong, listen carefully!"

Zhuge Yu’s voice was hoarse, her eyes filled with killing intent.

"Even if you hand Tan Yun over, it may not be enough to quell the Sacred Emperor’s wrath!"

"No matter what, Tan Yun is your man! Your Huangfu Sacred Sect… will not escape responsibility!"

"If the Sacred Emperor sends his army—my Divine Spirit Immortal Palace will join forces immediately!"

"When that happens… your sect will be wiped out completely!"

Hearing this—

The **8 core disciples** of Huangfu Sacred Sect were stunned!

The rest of the disciples were filled with fear and unease!

But Tantai Xuanzhong—

Stood firm like an unshakable mountain!

Holding the near-death Tan Yun in his arms, he stared at Zhuge Yu with unwavering resolve.

"My ancestors left behind **9 words**!"

"Whoever dares offend the Sacred Sect—must be eradicated without mercy!"

"If the Nangong Dynasty and your palace dare to invade Huangfu Sacred Sect—"

"We will not retreat a single step!"

"Tan Yun is my man… Tantai Xuanzhong’s man!"

"If you have the guts—come and take his life!"

"But before that… I don’t mind killing you first!"

Tantai Xuanzhong’s resolute voice—

Echoed clearly in Tan Yun’s ears.

A trace of emotion stirred within him—

This was a man of principle, not a coward who would sacrifice others to save himself!

"Good! Good! Very good!"

Zhuge Yu laughed in extreme rage.

"Tantai Xuanzhong—just you wait!"

"I’ll be waiting! Do you think I fear a woman like you?"

Tantai Xuanzhong sneered.

"Young Princess, don’t stay here any longer. Come with me."

Zhuge Yu said, preparing to take Nangong Ruxue away.

But Nangong Ruxue shook her head, breaking free from her hold, tears still falling.

"Thank you for your kindness, Palace Master… but I will not leave Huangfu Sacred Sect."

"My master… has treated me very well."

Her words—

Deeply moved Shen Subing.

At that moment—

Tan Yun, in Tantai Xuanzhong’s arms, slowly opened his eyes with great difficulty.

His gaze fixed on Zhuge Yu.

His blood-covered face revealed no clear emotion—

His body trembled slightly as he spoke weakly:

"I’ll tell you… how to save her…"

"But… you must agree to one condition."

Hearing that **Nangong Yuqin could still be saved**—

Zhuge Yu’s body trembled with excitement!

"Agreed! Agreed! Just tell me!"

"As long as she can be saved—let alone **1 condition**, even **100 conditions**, I will agree!"

"Fine… in that case, I have **2 conditions**…"

Tan Yun’s voice trembled as he spoke.

"First… what happened today… must not be connected to the Huangfu Sacred Sect."

"I agree!"

Zhuge Yu answered immediately, so anxious that she even forgot her formal title and spoke plainly.

"Second… the wager must be honored… the disciples of the Huangfu Sacred Sect must be granted entry to the **God Battlefield Trial** within **100 years**…"

"Agreed! I agree! Now hurry—tell me how to save Yuqin!"

Zhuge Yu urged impatiently.

Tan Yun’s vision began to blur as he spoke weakly:

"She burned… the Three Souls and Seven Spirits…"

"When I was testing… in pill box number **188**… on the **12th layer**… there is a ‘Soul-Reunion Pill’…"

"Give it to her immediately… it will sustain her life… for **100 days**…"

His voice grew fainter and fainter.

"And after that?! Hurry and tell me!"

Zhuge Yu was on the verge of panic. She flashed forward, appearing before Tantai Xuanzhong, trying to shake Tan Yun awake!

"You crazy woman, what are you doing?!"

Tantai Xuanzhong stepped back and shouted angrily.

"He’s gravely injured too! Lower your voice!"

Just as Zhuge Yu was about to explode—

Tan Yun’s lips moved again.

"Within… **100 days**… she must take… a top-tier Grandmaster-level pill—‘Soul Restoration Pill’…"

"Remember… it must be the Soul Restoration Pill…"

"No other pill… can be used… otherwise… she will definitely die…"

Before he could finish—

Tan Yun lost consciousness!

Zhuge Yu memorized every word, then immediately turned to Ruyan Wuji.

"Sect Master Ruyan! Quickly! Give me the Soul-Reunion Pill!"

"Yes, yes—I’ll give it to you now!"

Ruyan Wuji didn’t hesitate. He took out a Grandmaster-tier pill cabinet from his Qiankun Ring and retrieved the pill from box **188**, **12th layer**.

Zhuge Yu immediately fed it into Nangong Yuqin’s mouth!

Yet deep inside—

Ruyan Wuji felt a trace of regret.

He had hoped she would die—

So that the Nangong Dynasty and the Divine Spirit Immortal Palace would attack the Huangfu Sacred Sect!

If both sides suffered heavy losses—

His Eternal Sect could split its forces into **2 divisions**!

One would head south, seize the Nangong Dynasty, and establish the **Eternal Dynasty**.

The other would destroy the Divine Spirit Immortal Palace and take over the Huangfu Sacred Sect!

At that time—

The Heavenly Punishment Mountains would have only **1 ruler**!

And he would control the entrances to both the **Fallen God Abyss** and the **God Battlefield**!

What a pity—

Man proposes… but heaven disposes!

Tan Yun actually knew how to save her!

Even though he didn’t want to hand over the pill—

He had no choice!

If he refused and Nangong Yuqin died—

The blame would fall on him!

"Forget it…"

Ruyan Wuji thought to himself.

"Nangong Yuqin is the Saintess of the Divine Spirit Immortal Palace. One day, she will become its master…"

"Heh… I should find a way to make her my son Chen’er’s woman…"

"In that case… the Divine Spirit Immortal Palace will fall into my son’s hands!"

With that thought—

His expression relaxed, and a confident smile appeared.

"Sect Master Ruyan, I must take Yuqin back to the palace immediately. Please send us out of the Eternal Secret Realm."

Zhuge Yu said, summoning a spirit boat. She carried Nangong Yuqin aboard, ordering the **4 elders** and disciples to follow.

"Of course, no problem. I’ll escort you personally!"

Ruyan Wuji replied.

At the same time—

Tantai Xuanzhong also summoned a spirit boat, instructing the **8 core disciples** and others to board.

He then carried Tan Yun aboard, laying him down gently—

And fed **3 pills** into his mouth!

Zhongwu Shiyao sat beside Tan Yun, tears streaming endlessly, praying for him to wake soon.

Just as Ruyan Wuji was about to send Zhuge Yu’s spirit boat away—

Suddenly!

A panicked voice echoed from the sky!

"Sect Master! Something terrible has happened!"

"A major incident has occurred!"
