The Supreme Being Against Heaven
Chapter Summary
— On the jade platform above— “Chen Long, losing to Tingfeng is not shameful.” Fenglei Dao Master said calmly, then continued: “You were able to defeat the arena master of the weapon lineage and secure this main-stage position. She knew very well that his favor toward Huangfu Tingfeng was not only because of talent, but also due to the “bloodline of the ancestral lineage.” She was extremely displeased that he even mentioned Chen Long’s victory over the weapon lineage. Because they knew very well...

In the following period—
The battle between **Xiong Shengtian** of the Sacred Spirit lineage and **Hou Ye** ended extremely quickly.
Hou Ye directly chose to surrender, allowing Xiong Shengtian to advance to the next round without difficulty.
—
At the same time—
The confrontation between **Lin Dong** of the Beast Spirit lineage and **Jun Buping** of the Ancient Spirit lineage came to a tragic end.
Lin Dong… was killed on the spot!
Jun Buping claimed victory without any doubt!
—
On another side—
**Ke Xin’yi** of the Sacred Spirit lineage defeated **Pan Changhai** of the Wind Thunder lineage with ease, also advancing to the next round.
—
Then, it was the turn of **Chen Long**, a disciple of the Wind Thunder lineage.
The moment his restriction seal was released, his heart sank heavily—because his opponent was—
**Huangfu Tingfeng**, disciple of the Talismans lineage!
—
“Whoosh!”
Huangfu Tingfeng flickered from **No. 1 Crouching Dragon Platform** and appeared on **No. 2 Crouching Dragon Platform** with calm elegance.
He lightly clasped his hands.
“Please enlighten me.”
Chen Long let out a long sigh, his expression complicated.
“Brother Huangfu… three years ago, when you were only at **Nascent Soul Stage 8**, you already reached Rank 40 on the Crouching Dragon Board.”
“I surrender.”
He knew very well that his strength could not compare at all.
—
On the jade platform above—
“Chen Long, losing to Tingfeng is not shameful.”
Fenglei Dao Master said calmly, then continued:
“You were able to defeat the arena master of the weapon lineage and secure this main-stage position. That already proves you are extraordinary. Go down.”
“Disciple obeys!”
Chen Long clasped his hands and left the platform.
—
Fenglei Dao Master then turned to Huangfu Tingfeng with a satisfied smile.
“Tingfeng, your talent is exceptional, and your comprehension of the Dao surpasses ordinary people. I have high expectations for you this time. Do your best.”
Huangfu Tingfeng replied respectfully.
“Thank you for your guidance, Senior.”
Then he vanished and reappeared steadily on **No. 3 Crouching Dragon Platform**.
—
At the same time—
Mu Rong Susu stood on the jade platform, staring coldly at Fenglei Dao Master.
She knew very well that his favor toward Huangfu Tingfeng was not only because of talent, but also due to the “bloodline of the ancestral lineage.”
She was extremely displeased that he even mentioned Chen Long’s victory over the weapon lineage.
On the other side, the **Talisman Elder**, an old woman, let out a cold snort.
“No need to place any expectations on my disciple. Worry about your own people instead.”
Fenglei Dao Master did not respond, simply watching the battlefield calmly.
—
Next came **Xiao Qingxuan** of the Ancient Spirit lineage, one of the **13 Great Beauties** of the inner sect.
She stood gracefully on **No. 2 Crouching Dragon Platform**, dressed in a white robe like a celestial maiden descending from the heavens.
When her opponent was revealed, it was—
**Baili Longtian**.
The moment the name was announced, many Ancient Spirit disciples sighed in relief.
Because they knew very well—
“This match… will not truly happen.”
—
A saying circulated within the Ancient Spirit lineage:
> “Who becomes number one between Qingxuan and Bingbing depends on whether Buping allows it, and whether Longtian agrees.”
Its meaning was clear—
* Xiao Qingxuan
* Shangguan Bingbing
* Jun Buping
* Baili Longtian
These four… were extremely close in strength.
But there was another layer behind it.
Jun Buping had feelings for Shangguan Bingbing, while Baili Longtian had always loved Xiao Qingxuan.
Therefore—
If Xiao Qingxuan defeated Shangguan Bingbing and rose to first place, Jun Buping would immediately challenge her.
And if Shangguan Bingbing won… Baili Longtian would step forward without hesitation.
—
Because of this, everyone understood without needing to think twice—
In this match, **Baili Longtian would definitely choose to withdraw without fighting**.
“Whoosh!”
Baili Longtian descended gently, appearing on **No. 2 Crouching Dragon Platform** with calm elegance.
His gaze locked onto Xiao Qingxuan, deep and unwavering, carrying emotions he could not hide.
“Qingxuan… I’m truly happy that you will represent the Ancient Spirit lineage in the fight for the Top 8.”
Xiao Qingxuan’s eyes flickered slightly. She pressed her lips together, a faint trace of hesitation and guilt appearing on her face.
“That promise back then… I only said it on impulse.”
“You don’t need to keep yielding to me like this anymore. I… don’t like you. I’m sorry.”
Even though she rejected him in front of so many people, Baili Longtian did not show the slightest anger.
He only smiled faintly and turned away, leaving a single sentence behind before stepping off the platform.
“I’ll wait.”
Just **3 words**—yet they carried an unshakable weight.
—
Those words caused Xiao Qingxuan’s eyes to tremble slightly. A fleeting trace of softness surfaced, before she let out a quiet sigh and leapt toward **No. 3 Crouching Dragon Platform**, standing beside Jun Buping.
—
“Qingxuan, about you and him…” Jun Buping started to speak.
“None of your business.”
Xiao Qingxuan cut him off immediately, her tone turning slightly cold.
“You should worry about yourself instead… like how you’re going to win over Shangguan Bingbing.”
Jun Buping froze for a moment, unable to respond.
—
The competition continued.
Gu Yisan, one of the three direct disciples of the Fenglei Dao Master, faced Duan Yu.
The moment the battle began, Duan Yu immediately realized the gap in strength and surrendered without hesitation.
—
The sun began to set. Evening approached.
On the jade platform, Shen Subing slowly stood up, her clear voice echoing across the entire mountain peak.
“Next… it is the turn of my alchemy lineage disciple—Mu Mengyi!”
“Mengyi, don’t disappoint me.”
—
On **No. 1 Crouching Dragon Platform**—
Mu Mengyi clasped her hands.
“Disciple obeys.”
She turned toward Tan Yun and smiled softly.
“I’m going.”
“Be careful,” Tan Yun replied with a warm smile.
“Mm.”
—
With that single sound—
Her red figure turned into a streak of light, soaring into the sky. Her flowing dress fluttered like fire before she landed gracefully on **No. 2 Crouching Dragon Platform**.
—
The moment Mu Mengyi unsealed her identity token, words appeared:
**“Xiao Jingkong of the Beast Spirit lineage”**
Her gaze instantly turned cold—like ice awakening.
—
She knew very well the hierarchy within the Beast Spirit lineage:
* Lin Dong (deceased) was once Rank 1
* Tie Shan was on par with Lin Dong
* Chen Song ranked Rank 2
* Xiao Jingkong and Bai Xu (deceased) were Rank 3
But in reality, Xiao Jingkong was far stronger than Bai Xu.
—
And most importantly—
This man… had once tried to harm her.
Together with Chen Song, they had even attempted to abduct and humiliate her.
If not for being the final disciple of Wu Hong, she might not have survived to this day.
—
A surge of killing intent ignited in Mu Mengyi’s eyes.
—
At the same time, on **No. 1 Crouching Dragon Platform**—
Xiao Jingkong did not immediately step onto the stage.
Instead, he walked toward Tan Yun with a cold smile, his eyes full of killing intent.
“Tan Yun.”
“Today, I will let you see… how your woman Mu Mengyi dies.”
He let out a low laugh.
“And after that… if you’re unlucky enough to meet me in the next round—”
“I will make your death the most painful one imaginable.”
