The Supreme Being Against Heaven
Chapter Summary
This isn’t the right time.” “Wan’er… help me with this.” Xue Ziyan smiled faintly and slowly stepped away from behind him without insisting further. Xiao Qingxuan And the one who advanced directly to the next round was… **Xue Ziyan.** --- This result immediately caused an uproar across the entire mountain. Whispers spread across the mountain as everyone debated: “Can Tan Yun withstand the Chaotic Demonic Dance?” The decisive battle… had truly begun.

Tan Yun never expected that Xue Ziyan would still remember that incident. No matter what, this matter absolutely could not be known by Mu Mengyi and Zhong Wushiyao.
So he forced a calm smile and said evenly,
“Let’s talk about it after the competition ends. There are too many people on the mountain right now, and eyes everywhere watching us. This isn’t the right time.”
“Wan’er… help me with this.”
Xue Ziyan smiled faintly and slowly stepped away from behind him without insisting further.

“Zi Yan, what were you doing just now?” Mu Mengyi asked with curiosity.
“Nothing,” Tan Yun replied flatly.
“Hmph. I can tell you’re lying.” Mu Mengyi narrowed her eyes slightly, then turned to look at Xue Ziyan. “What were you doing behind him just now?”
“Big Sister Mu, I won’t tell you. This is a secret between me and brother-in-law.” Xue Ziyan chuckled softly under the starlight, still looking lively and playful on the surface. But inside, her heart was beating faster and faster as she recalled what had just happened…

At another part of the mountain, Gongsun Ruoxi stood alone, staring into the distance. Her eyes were filled with deep, hidden hatred.
She did not even know her true origin. She only knew that she had been adopted by her grandfather, Gongsun Yangchun, since she was very young…

### The next morning
As the first rays of sunlight rose from the eastern horizon, dawn broke over the sky.
Shen Subing returned to the Mount Panlong summit aboard a spirit vessel. She then personally gave Mu Mengyi a high-grade flying sword with the Death attribute.
Mu Mengyi accepted it joyfully, deeply moved when she learned that Shen Subing had traveled overnight to Fangxian City just to buy it for her.

When the time reached Chen Shi (07:00–09:00), all disciples of the 9 lineages stood in silent formation atop the mountain.
On the “Panlong Rankings Platform No. 3”, all 13 experts who advanced to Round 2 took their positions.
On the jade platform above, Tantai Xuanzhong swept his gaze downward before announcing loudly,
“Next, we will begin Round 2 of the competition.”
“In this round, 1 person will advance directly to Round 3.”
He waved his right hand.
Instantly, 13 clusters of light appeared above the heads of all 13 participants.
Inside each light were paired numbers forming 6 matchups, plus 1 special number.
Whoever drew Number 1 would fight in assigned matches, while Number 7 would advance directly without fighting.
---
“Whoosh… whoosh… whoosh…”
All 13 participants, including Tan Yun, sent their spiritual energy into the light orbs.
The lights trembled as numbers gradually appeared… then faded away.
The results were revealed—
**Match 1:** Xiang Shengtian (Sacred Spirit lineage) vs. “Tucao Jun” Lu Ren (Wind Lightning lineage)
**Match 2:** Jun Buping vs. Shangguan Bingbing
**Match 3:** Gu Yishan vs. Ke Xinyi
**Match 4:** Huangfu Tingfeng vs. Chen Song
**Match 5:** Tan Yun vs. Kang Shiyuan, the sinister expert of the Sacred Spirit lineage
**Match 6:** Mu Mengyi vs. Xiao Qingxuan
And the one who advanced directly to the next round was…
**Xue Ziyan.**
---
This result immediately caused an uproar across the entire mountain.
Countless gazes turned toward Tan Yun and Kang Shiyuan, filled with different emotions.
No one expected the two of them to clash this early in Round 2.
In everyone’s eyes, both were extremely dangerous existences—ruthless and powerful in equal measure.
And in everyone’s mind, the same thought emerged:
This battle… would likely become one of the most brutal and intense fights among all 13 participants in this round.
At the same time, everyone was in rare agreement on one point: the first four matches showed a massive gap in strength between the contestants, and in most cases, someone would likely “admit defeat” right from the beginning.
However, the match that truly excited the crowd was the Round 5 battle—**Tan Yun vs. Kang Shiyuan**, as well as **Mu Mengyi vs. Xiao Qingxuan**.
These two fights were regarded as true clashes of top-tier experts—battles where neither side would retreat. No one dared to predict a winner.
At this moment, Xue Ziyan was laughing so happily she could barely contain herself. She never expected to advance to the next round without even lifting a finger.

## The matches begin
“Whoosh!”
On Platform No. 3, Xiang Shengtian descended gracefully from midair and landed calmly on Platform No. 2 with an elegant posture.
On the other side, Tucao Jun, a chubby man, trembled all over. He cursed inwardly:
“Damn it! I ran into him in the very first match?! The heavens are clearly mocking me!”
After speaking, he jumped onto the platform and immediately cupped his fists.
“I admit defeat.”
Xiang Shengtian merely nodded slightly, accepted the victory without lifting a finger, and advanced effortlessly.
The audience was not surprised. Everyone knew Tucao Jun was strong, but still far below Xiang Shengtian—one of the top championship contenders.

## Continuous forfeits
In Match 2, Jun Buping of the Ancient Soul lineage faced Shangguan Bingbing.
He looked at her seriously and said in a low voice:
“Bingbing, I don’t want you to risk injury in the next rounds. Our strength is about equal—this round, I’ll give it to you.”
Shangguan Bingbing was silent for a moment, then gently nodded.
“Be careful in the next match.”
As soon as she finished speaking, she stepped off the platform without hesitation, giving Jun Buping an effortless victory.
---
In Match 3, Gu Yishan from the Wind and Thunder lineage faced Ke Xinyi of the Holy Soul lineage.
Gu Yishan recalled his master’s instructions from the previous night and immediately chose to forfeit without hesitation, allowing Ke Xinyi to advance.
---
In Match 4, Huangfu Tingfeng faced Chen Song.
Chen Song also chose to surrender instantly, allowing Huangfu Tingfeng to move forward with ease.
---
## The real battle begins
“Whoosh!”
Kang Shiyuan leapt onto Platform No. 2. His face was pale, yet a sinister smile curled on his lips as he stared coldly toward Tan Yun on Platform No. 3.
Tan Yun smiled faintly and jumped onto the platform as well. The two stood facing each other, separated by roughly **300 feet**.
The entire mountain fell into silence. It felt as if everyone was holding their breath, waiting for a life-and-death battle.
There were two main reasons why everyone was certain this fight would end in death:
1. Tan Yun had killed the grandson of the Holy Soul lineage leader. Kang Shiyuan would never let him live.
2. Both of them were ruthless and unyielding—neither would back down easily.

## The battle erupts
“Trash. Today is your death day!”
Kang Shiyuan sneered and unleashed his technique.
**“Demon Dance – Chaotic Demonic Dance!”**
Death qi erupted from his hands, transforming into pitch-black flying blades circling around him.
In just a breath, over **1,000 blades** appeared, spinning wildly like a storm of death.
His power surged to the peak of Soul Refining Realm **1st level**, almost reaching the **2nd level**, causing faint cracks to appear in space itself.
Each blade carried the destructive force of a Soul Refining Realm cultivator at the 1st level.
---
## Tan Yun’s counterattack
“Primordial Chaos God-Slaying Sword Formation!”
Instantly, Tan Yun activated his sword formation.
A vast array of sword light enveloped the entire platform, swallowing Kang Shiyuan within the formation.
The crowd above the mountain erupted in discussion. Many remembered clearly that last night, Kang Shiyuan had used this same technique to brutally kill Wu Ling.
Whispers spread across the mountain as everyone debated:
“Can Tan Yun withstand the Chaotic Demonic Dance?”
The decisive battle… had truly begun.
