The Supreme Being Against Heaven
Chapter Summary
Suddenly— An overwhelming pressure spread out from the vortex, covering the entire mountain—especially the area above Crouching Dragon Platform No. Her slender body trembled, and her voice shook even more: “Junior Sister Mu… you’re the one who won… thank you for holding back.” “I, Xiao Qingxuan, have never conceded to anyone in the inner sect before… but to you, I feel nothing but admiration… from the bottom of my heart.” The moment those words fell— All the Ancient Soul disciples, along with Xi...

“Hummm—”
In an instant—
Dense, milky-white ancient energy burst forth from Xiao Qingxuan’s body, flowing and circling around her slender figure!
As the ancient power spun faster and faster, in just a brief moment—
A vortex of ancient energy hundreds of feet tall formed, completely enveloping her!
Suddenly—
An overwhelming pressure spread out from the vortex, covering the entire mountain—especially the area above Crouching Dragon Platform No. **2**.
Countless spatial cracks—each stretching several hundred feet, as thin as strands of hair—crept across the void!
“This is bad! Her aura… has reached **Level 2** of the Soul Refinement Realm!”
Tan Yun frowned and warned sharply,
“Be extremely careful!”
“Don’t worry. I know.”
Mu Mengyi replied softly as she unleashed power amplified by **10 times** from her Beast Nascent Soul!
At once—an invisible wave of force spread outward!
Then—
Her soft, boneless left hand traced a mysterious pattern before her chest. Her aura surged violently, and her long hair fluttered like a cascading waterfall!
The pressure from both sides—
Caused the void within a **100-foot** radius to fill with spatial cracks!
Their auras collided, as if the very space itself was on the verge of collapse!
“Shhh—Shhh—”
The immense power of Mu Mengyi and Xiao Qingxuan surged toward each other like invisible tidal waves!
When the two forces clashed at the center of the platform—
The void trembled, releasing a deep, resonating hum!
“Junior Sister Mu—draw your sword!”
Xiao Qingxuan’s clear and powerful voice echoed from within the **100-foot** ancient vortex.
“Alright! Senior Sister Xiao—receive my strike!”
Mu Mengyi raised her sword high with her right hand—
The power of death and her spiritual energy surged wildly into the blade!
In an instant—the winds above the mountain became chaotic!
This time—
She didn’t have to worry about her top-grade spirit weapon breaking!
This time—
She would unleash her strongest sword technique… to prove herself!
“Humm!”
Mu Mengyi slashed down—
A sword beam only **10 feet** long shot toward Xiao Qingxuan!
Though small in size—
It carried boundless power!
Wherever it passed, thick finger-sized spatial cracks tore open through the air!
Terrifying beyond measure!
“Ancient Tomb Scripture—Void-Suppressing Sword Cave!”
Almost at the same moment—
Xiao Qingxuan’s clear voice rang out!
The **100-foot** vortex of ancient energy surrounding her rapidly compressed—
Condensing into a single beam at the tip of her sword!
She spun the blade in her right hand—
Then thrust forward!
In an instant—
A **100-foot** sword beam shot forth, colliding violently with Mu Mengyi’s **10-foot** beam!
“Boom! Boom! Boom—!”
“Rumble! Rumble—!”
The moment the two beams clashed—
The void above Crouching Dragon Platform No. **2** shook violently, explosions echoing endlessly!
The immense impact filled a **200-foot** radius with crisscrossing cracks, like shattered glass!
The residual shockwaves spread outward at light speed—
Dozens of nearby disciples were blasted away in terror!
On Platform No. **2**—
Amid the chaotic spatial fractures—
Mu Mengyi’s **10-zhang** sword beam actually shattered Xiao Qingxuan’s **100-zhang** beam with unstoppable force!
Before both dissipated into the air!
“Look! Everyone, look!”
Someone shouted in shock,
“Mu Mengyi and Xiao Qingxuan have disappeared!”
Under the gaze of hundreds of thousands of disciples—
The figures of both women vanished from the Crouching Dragon Platform!
In just a blink—
As all the spatial cracks gradually faded and the void returned to calm—
Mu Mengyi and Xiao Qingxuan…
Reappeared before everyone once more!
The scene before everyone was utterly astonishing—
An uproar erupted across the entire mountain!
“Can you tell who won?”
“No idea! I really can’t see it!”
“Same here… but it looks like Xiao Qingxuan has a slight edge!”
“Yeah, I also think Mu Mengyi probably lost… but just barely!”
“…”
At that moment—
On Crouching Dragon Platform No. **2**—
Mu Mengyi and Xiao Qingxuan stood only **3 feet** apart, each holding a sword!
Mu Mengyi’s right arm was extended straight—her blade pointed at Xiao Qingxuan’s snow-white throat.
At the same time—
Xiao Qingxuan’s sword was also extended… its tip pressed precisely against Mu Mengyi’s throat!
Judging by the scene alone—
It seemed obvious that **Xiao Qingxuan had won!**
But—
Among those who advanced to round **3** on the mountain—
Only **2 people** knew the truth—
Tan Yun… and Ke Xinyi!
Meanwhile—
On the jade tower, the high-ranking elders stared at Mu Mengyi in shock.
They… also knew—
**The true winner was Mu Mengyi!**
---
“Amazing! Senior Sister Xiao from the Ancient Soul Lineage definitely won!”
“Haha! I’m so happy! As expected of one of the **4 top experts** of our lineage!”
“Of course! Even if Mu Mengyi is strong, she still can’t compare to Senior Sister Xiao!”
“…”
The female disciples of the Ancient Soul Lineage cheered excitedly.
But—
Xiao Qingxuan’s next words froze all the laughter instantly!
Under everyone’s gaze—
She looked at Mu Mengyi, her beautiful eyes filled with undisguised fear and sorrow.
Her slender body trembled, and her voice shook even more:
“Junior Sister Mu… you’re the one who won… thank you for holding back.”
“I, Xiao Qingxuan, have never conceded to anyone in the inner sect before… but to you, I feel nothing but admiration… from the bottom of my heart.”
The moment those words fell—
All the Ancient Soul disciples, along with Xiang Shengtian, Jun Buping, and Huangfu Tingfeng standing near Tan Yun, were stunned!
**Lost!?**
**What did she just say!?**
Her sword was clearly at Mu Mengyi’s throat—
While Mu Mengyi’s sword was merely pointed at hers!
No matter how you looked at it… Mu Mengyi should have lost!
Mu Mengyi smiled faintly.
“You’re very strong as well… please accept my respect.”
After saying that—
She sheathed her sword and descended from the low air, returning to Crouching Dragon Platform No. **1**—
Standing beside Tan Yun with a gentle smile, like a pair destined by heaven.
---
“Qingxuan… what exactly happened? How did she defeat you?”
Baili Longtian asked in confusion from the mountain peak.
“Whoosh!”
He leapt onto the platform and pulled Xiao Qingxuan into his arms.
“Don’t cry. Tell me… what happened?”
“…Mm.”
Xiao Qingxuan gently stepped out of his embrace, looked at all the Ancient Soul disciples, and spoke honestly:
“I’m sorry… I’ve disappointed all of you.”
“I truly lost… and I lost completely.”
Then—
She turned her back to the crowd and lifted her long hair.
What appeared—
Sent chills down everyone’s spine!
At the back of her neck—
There was a single bloodstain, clearly seeping outward!
Anyone who wielded a sword—
Could immediately recognize it… as a mark from a **blade tip**!
Xiao Qingxuan let her hair fall again and smiled through tears.
“I accept this defeat willingly… because Junior Sister Mu is truly stronger than me.”
“Just now… when I was making my move—”
“Before I could even place my sword at her throat… she had already pierced the back of my neck.”
“And in the instant I aimed at her throat… she reappeared in front of me, with her blade already at mine.”
“So… I lost completely.”
She slowly closed her eyes and said softly,
“Today, I finally understand…”
“Within the inner sect—there are still many hidden experts.”
“And above the heavens… there is always another sky.”
