The Supreme Being Against Heaven
Chapter Summary
“I know… there are many of you who want me dead!” “In that case— I, Tan Yun, will give you a chance!” “Anyone who wants to kill me… come!” “But make sure you seize it well—because you only get 1 chance!” “There are only 100 challenge slots… now, 95 remain!” The moment his words fell— the entire arena exploded into chaos! Tan Yun swept his cold gaze across the crowd below— and spoke indifferently: “77 slots remain…” “Anyone who wants to kill me—come.” Suddenly— he raised his sword and pointed tow...

The air trembled faintly—
Tan Yun appeared right in front of the 5 corpses.
With a sharp swing of his right leg—
the blood-soaked bodies were sent flying like cannonballs, smashing violently into the mountain peaks!
His entire body was drenched in blood.
The sword in his hand gleamed with a chilling light.
He swept his gaze across the 100,000 disciples, who were still frozen in shock—
his star-like eyes now filled with an icy, bone-piercing killing intent!
“I know… there are many of you who want me dead!”
“In that case— I, Tan Yun, will give you a chance!”
“Anyone who wants to kill me… come!”
“But make sure you seize it well—because you only get 1 chance!”
“There are only 100 challenge slots… now, 95 remain!”
The moment his words fell—
the entire arena exploded into chaos!
“Kill him!”
“Kill!”
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
More than 10 figures shot out from the factions of
the Five Souls, Beast Soul, Holy Spirit,
and even the Law Enforcement lineage!
They appeared above the Hidden Dragon Platform—
forming a circle around Tan Yun before diving down simultaneously!
Clearly—
these shameless dozens intended to gang up and kill him!
On the mountain—
waves of ridicule erupted!
“Is this Tan Yun insane?!”
“Hah! Not insane—just arrogant beyond reason!”
“Exactly! Who does he think he is, asking people to come at him together?! He’s just a former menial disciple!”
“I say… in 3 breaths, he’ll be surrounded and slaughtered!”
Amid the noise—
a scream of terror suddenly rang out!
“Too terrifying! Look!!”
Silence—instantly fell across the entire arena!
Tan Yun—
who had been standing at the center—
suddenly shot upward 30 zhang like an arrow!
And then—
he “vanished” from most people’s sight!
Slash! Slash! Slash!
In the next instant—
sword light swept across the throats of 18 disciples rushing in to surround him!
Blood—
burst violently into the air!
Within the crimson mist—
18 bodies fell headfirst toward the platform!
Thud! Thud! Thud!
One after another—
18 corpses, each with a single sword wound across the neck,
collapsed into pools of blood!
Whoosh!
Tan Yun stood amidst a rain of blood—
sword in his right hand.
With a flick of his left sleeve—
all 18 corpses were lifted into the air
before being hurled off the stage!
Only a handful of people—
including the elders, stewards, core disciples,
and the Sect Master—
could see the truth!
Tan Yun… had not disappeared!
In that impossibly brief moment—
he had moved 18 times across the low sky!
Killing 18 people—in a single breath!
At that moment—
the 100,000 disciples stared at the blood-soaked Tan Yun—
their scalps tingling with fear!
To kill 18 people instantly—
and not even blink…
What kind of monster was this?!
Tan Yun swept his cold gaze across the crowd below—
and spoke indifferently:
“77 slots remain…”
“Anyone who wants to kill me—come.”
Suddenly—
he raised his sword and pointed toward the jade tower—
directly at:
the Inner Sect Law Enforcement Elder
the Beast Soul Daoist Elder
the 2nd Elder of Beast Soul
the Holy Spirit Daoist Elder
and the Five Souls Daoist Elder
His voice rang out like steel striking iron!
“Qiu Yongming—yes! I killed your son!”
“And he… deserved to die!”
“Wu Hong—let me tell you the truth!”
“If it weren’t for sect rules—back then, I would’ve torn your useless son into pieces myself!”
“And also… Murong Hong, heh—
your grandson, Murong Kun, whom I killed in the Outer Sect… he deserved to die!”
“And you, Linghu Changhe—
your great-grandson, Linghu Changkong, was arrogant and ruthless in the Outer Sect.
He tried to kill me again and again… he deserved death as well!”
“And as for you… Five Souls Daoist…”
Tan Yun paused briefly.
His gaze swept across the corpses of the Five Souls lineage disciples below—
before he let out a cold laugh.
“I don’t understand… why you ordered your disciples to kill me.”
“If I had to guess—
it’s probably because when I first entered the sect, you warned me… to stay away from Xue Ziyan!”
At that moment—
the Five Souls Daoist snorted coldly.
“Enough nonsense!”
“Whether my disciples challenge you or kill you—what does that have to do with me?!”
“Exactly!” Qiu Yongming shouted in support.
“This is slander! Completely baseless!”
“Heh… how amusing.”
Tan Yun chuckled softly.
His posture appeared respectful—
but his tone grew colder with every word.
“A mere junior like me… how would I dare slander all of you?”
“You are the great figures of the Inner Sect… while I am nothing but a junior.”
“But—if you truly have nothing to do with this…”
“Then tell me—
the 23 people I killed… were they not acting under your orders,
using the Nine Lineage Tournament as an excuse?”
“If not—
do you dare swear it to the heavens?”
“Do you dare?! Be careful—heavenly tribulation might strike you dead on the spot!”
Those words—
left the 100,000 disciples utterly stunned!
No one had expected—
Tan Yun would be this arrogant!
He had already slaughtered disciples with powerful backgrounds—
and now he dared to openly challenge the elders!
At the same time—
everyone couldn’t help but wonder…
How had he even survived
with so many high-level enemies targeting him?!
Tantai Xuanzhong frowned slightly—
but remained silent.
Since the founding era of the sect—
there had always been a rule regarding the Nine Lineage Tournament:
No matter who was killed or injured on the Hidden Dragon Platform—
no one was allowed to interfere!
Because the founder believed—
the Hidden Dragon Platform was a place for disciples to settle their grudges.
If hatred ran too deep to coexist—
then use this chance to fight to the death!
Thus—
every Nine Lineage Tournament
was inevitably filled with bloodshed and death!
And every Sect Master—
including Tantai Xuanzhong—
not only allowed it…
but approved of it!
Because—
only cultivators who survive baptism by blood
can go further on the path!
If there is hatred—avenge it!
Live or die on the stage—leave it to fate!
Nothing more needed to be said!
Seeing that—
the Law Enforcement Elder,
the Beast Soul Daoist Elder,
the 2nd Beast Soul Elder,
the Holy Spirit Daoist Elder,
and the Five Souls Daoist—
all had grim expressions… yet remained silent—
Tan Yun spoke again, his voice filled with absolute arrogance:
“Silence… is admission!”
“But it doesn’t matter—
everything I said… is just to repay what’s been done!”
“From now… until this battle ends!”
“The Law Enforcement lineage,
the Five Souls lineage,
the Beast Soul lineage,
and the Holy Spirit lineage—”
“I will kill… without mercy!”
Those words—
struck the crowd like a bolt of lightning!
The disciples from the named lineages
immediately erupted in furious roars!
“Tan Yun! Who do you think you are?!”
“You won’t survive to the end of the Nine Lineage Tournament!”
“That’s right! Just wait—our seniors will kill you!”
“—!”
Amid the chaos—
Da Niu shouted at the top of his lungs:
“Senior Brother Tan! We believe you can defeat them!”
“Senior Brother Tan is invincible!”
The moment his voice rang out—
tens of thousands of Pill Lineage disciples roared together!
Their voices thundered through the skies above the Dragon Mountain!
“Senior Brother Tan is unmatched! Slaughter the enemies without mercy!”
“Senior Brother Tan is unmatched! Restore the glory of the Pill Lineage!”
“—!”
