The Supreme Being Against Heaven

--Translated by likesnovel--

At that moment—

The remaining 71 disciples rubbed their hands excitedly before shouting toward the 49 people inside the formation,

“Hurry up! Let us experience the formation’s power too!”

After that, for the next 2 shichen—

All 71 disciples took turns replacing positions within the formation so they could personally experience… what it felt like to be truly powerful!

That sensation—

Was enough to drive all 120 disciples nearly crazy with excitement!

It felt as though…

With just a single wave of their hand, they could easily slaughter Soul Refinement Realm cultivators!

Tan Yun swept his gaze across the excited crowd before speaking sternly,

“The reason I passed this formation down to all of you…”

“Is because we are fellow disciples of the same Alchemy lineage.”

“And more importantly… because I want all of you to survive.”

He paused briefly before his tone turned colder.

“You may keep this formation for your own use. I have no objections.”

“But if I discover that anyone secretly passes it to outsiders…”

“Do not blame me for showing no mercy!”

The hearts of all 120 disciples trembled as they hurriedly cupped their fists together in unison.

“Senior Brother Tan, please rest assured!”

“Without your permission, we will never pass this formation to anyone else!”

“Not even to our own families!”

“Mhm.”

Tan Yun nodded in satisfaction.

Then, he looked around once more before continuing,

“The task of protecting our fellow disciples while they cultivate in seclusion…”

“I leave it in your hands.”

“As for me… I’ll be leaving for a while.”

Gongsun Ruoxi slightly parted her lips, as though she wanted to say something.

But before she could speak—

Luo Fan frowned and asked worriedly,

“Junior Brother Tan, where are you going?”

“Right now, the main targets of the Divine Spirit Immortal Palace and the Eternal Immortal Sect are you.”

“I think… it would be safer if you stayed here with us!”

The Alchemy disciples all nodded in agreement, hoping Tan Yun would remain behind.

“Thank you, everyone, for your concern.”

A faint smile rose at the corners of Tan Yun’s lips.

But within his eyes, an icy killing intent flashed past.

“From this point onward, we’ll split into 2 groups.”

“All of you will remain here to cultivate in seclusion and raise your strength.”

“As for me, Mengji, and Ziyan…”

“We’re going out to eliminate our enemies!”

At this point, Tan Yun’s voice became filled with murderous intent.

“After I wipe out the majority of the disciples from the Eternal Immortal Sect and the Divine Spirit Immortal Palace…”

“I’ll return to regroup with all of you.”

“Then we’ll enter the God Burial Abyss together and search for treasures!”

Hearing this, everyone felt deeply moved.

They all understood—

Tan Yun was placing himself in danger for their sake!

“Tan Yun, I’m coming with you too!”

Zhongwu Siyao’s graceful figure instantly appeared before Tan Yun, her face filled with worry.

“If I don’t go with you… I won’t be able to rest easy.”

Tan Yun smiled warmly before placing both hands on her fragrant shoulders and speaking gently,

“Silly girl, don’t worry.”

“Even the Wind-Thunder Dragon wasn’t a match for Big Guy.”

“With him protecting us, Mengji, Ziyan, and I will be fine.”

Then he continued with a smile,

“Besides, you’ve only just reached the 9th-level Nascent Soul Realm.”

“If you truly want to help me…”

“Then listen to me and focus on becoming stronger as quickly as possible.”

“And practice the techniques I gave you properly.”

“Mmm…”

Zhongwu Siyao lightly bit her lip before gently straightening Tan Yun’s robe with her jade-like hands.

“You 3 must be careful.”

“I’ll wait here for your return.”

Afterward, Xue Ziyan and Mu Mengji bid farewell to Zhongwu Siyao before climbing onto the back of the Golden Divine Dragon Lion alongside Tan Yun.

The Alchemy disciples shouted loudly in unison,

“Senior Brother Tan! Sister-in-law Tan! Have a safe journey!”

“We’ll wait for your return!”

“Alright.”

Tan Yun acknowledged them before giving the order,

“Big Guy, let’s go!”

“ROOOAR!”

The Golden Divine Dragon Lion spread its massive wings and shot out of the forest before soaring high into the blue heavens.

Xue Ziyan placed her hands on her waist and muttered,

“Brother-in-law, the trial grounds are over 10,000,000 li wide.”

“How are we supposed to find those people?”

Before Tan Yun could answer—

Mu Mengji spoke thoughtfully,

“Tan Yun… you’re planning to wait for them at the entrance of the God Burial Abyss, aren’t you?”

“The one who understands me best really is Mengji.”

Tan Yun chuckled softly, though his expression soon darkened.

“Right now, the people from the Divine Spirit Immortal Palace and the Eternal Immortal Sect…”

“All want us dead.”

“The trial period within the Eternal Land only lasts for 1 year.”

“Whether it’s our enemies or us, everyone feels that time is far too limited.”

“So everyone only has 2 choices.”

“The 1st choice…”

“Is to enter seclusion and break through their cultivation realm.”

“But if someone wants to advance from the Great Perfection Nascent Soul Realm to the 1st-level Soul Refinement Realm…”

“At minimum, it requires 6 months.”

“And if that happens, the remaining time left to search for treasures within the God Burial Abyss would become far too short…”

“I suspect that most of the disciples from the Eternal Immortal Sect and the Divine Spirit Immortal Palace…”

“Won’t choose to enter seclusion and miss the opportunity to search for treasures inside the God Burial Abyss.”

Tan Yun spoke calmly, his voice icy cold.

“Moreover…”

“The higher one’s cultivation level is, the more terrifying the destructive pressure inside the God Burial Abyss becomes.”

“So I believe…”

“They’re more likely to choose the 2nd option.”

Xue Ziyan asked curiously,

“And what is the 2nd option?”

Tan Yun narrowed his eyes before replying coldly,

“Station people at the entrance of the God Burial Abyss.”

“They’ll wait until others are weakened or injured from battle…”

“And then intercept and kill the disciples attempting to enter and search for treasures.”

“At the same time…”

“They’ll also send groups out to hunt down our disciples throughout the trial grounds.”

After hearing this, Mu Mengji nodded lightly, clearly agreeing with Tan Yun’s analysis.

A chilling smile curled onto Tan Yun’s lips.

“Since that’s the case…”

“Why don’t we head directly to the entrance of the God Burial Abyss ourselves?”

“We’ll lure those hiding in the shadows out…”

“And wipe them out completely!”

Killing intent flashed through Tan Yun’s eyes.

“After that, we’ll take control of the entrance ourselves.”

“There’s no way the Eternal Immortal Sect and the Divine Spirit Immortal Palace will spend the entire year hunting our disciples.”

“If they search for long enough and still fail to find them…”

“They’ll definitely head toward the God Burial Abyss to search for treasures instead.”

“And when that time comes…”

“No matter how many arrive, I’ll kill every single one of them!”

Hearing this, Mu Mengji and Xue Ziyan immediately understood his plan and nodded.

In order to avoid arousing suspicion from their enemies—

Tan Yun recalled the Golden Divine Dragon Lion back into the spirit beast pouch.

Afterward, the 3 of them stepped onto their flying swords and slowly headed toward the entrance of the God Burial Abyss…

…

At the same time—

1,500,000 li west of the entrance to the God Burial Abyss…

Inside a beautiful and peaceful valley—

Heavy defenses had been set up everywhere!

50 disciples from the Eternal Immortal Sect and another 50 disciples from the Divine Spirit Immortal Palace stood guard throughout the entire valley.

All 100 people were stationed around a cave located deep within the valley.

At this moment…

To the left of the cave entrance stood 3 beautiful female disciples from the Eternal Immortal Sect.

If Tan Yun were here, he would recognize them instantly.

Before the trial had begun—

Ru Yanchen had once brought 9 elite inner disciples to the spirit-depleted Sacred Mountain to threaten and humiliate Tan Yun.

And among those 9 people…

The 3 women currently guarding the cave were included.

They were:

Pan Hanqing, Li Miaoxin, and Guo Biyun.

Pan Hanqing ranked 2nd among the inner disciples of the Eternal Immortal Sect.

Li Miaoxin ranked 3rd.

And Guo Biyun ranked 7th.

To the right side of the cave entrance—

2 couples from the Divine Spirit Immortal Palace stood silently.

Zhao Shiguang and Liu Danwen.

As well as Gao Xiang and Jiang Rou.

All 4 of them were among the top 10 strongest inner disciples of the Divine Spirit Immortal Palace.

Meanwhile, inside the cave—

Nangong Yuqin was currently speaking with Ru Yanchen.

“Yuqin, regarding the proposal I mentioned earlier…”

Before Ru Yanchen could finish speaking—

Nangong Yuqin interrupted him coldly,

“Young Master Ru Yan.”

“I’ll say this once more.”

“Do not address me that way.”

“Ah… hahaha, alright, alright.”

Ru Yanchen laughed awkwardly, but deep inside, resentment surged violently through his heart.

“Hmph! You bitch!”

“You keep acting cold toward me as though I’m some disgusting disease!”

“Just wait until this trial is over…”

“My father will definitely visit the Divine Spirit Immortal Palace and the Nangong Holy Dynasty to arrange our marriage!”

“Once I marry you…”

“I’ll slowly torment you bit by bit!”

“I’ll make you into a woman I can humiliate whenever I please!”

“Hahaha!”

“And when that time comes…”

“The Divine Spirit Immortal Palace and the Nangong Holy Dynasty will both fall into the hands of the Ru Yan Clan!”

“In the end… everything will belong to me, Ru Yanchen!”

Although his heart was overflowing with vile thoughts—

Ru Yanchen still forcibly suppressed the urge to strangle Nangong Yuqin on the spot.

Then he cupped his fists politely and spoke with a smile,

“Saintess…”

“What do you think about the proposal I mentioned earlier?”
