The Supreme Being Against Heaven
Chapter Summary
“Brother Tan, before this, because of the 9 Lineage Competition, we were nothing more than strangers standing on opposite sides.” “If you, Junior Sister Mu, and Junior Sister Xue hadn’t saved us today, we would have died in humiliation.” “In my heart, Baili Longtian no longer cares about the grudges of the 9 lineages!” “As long as it doesn’t violate my principles, even if I must charge through mountains of blades and seas of fire, I’m willing to do anything for Brother Tan!” Xiao Qingxuan, who w...

After hearing the “3 rules” about who they would never save, Shangguan Bingbing immediately nodded.
“Alright. I agree.”
Jun Buping nodded as well, letting out a cold laugh.
“Brother Tan, during the battle of the 9 lineages, the people from the Sacred Soul Lineage, Beast Soul Lineage, and 5 Souls Lineage all wanted to kill you.”
“You saved our lives. Even if you hadn’t said it, there’s no way we would help anyone from those 3 lineages anyway.”
“Exactly.” Baili Longtian, who was resting on the ground, spoke with complete sincerity in his eyes.
“Brother Tan, before this, because of the 9 Lineage Competition, we were nothing more than strangers standing on opposite sides.”
“If you, Junior Sister Mu, and Junior Sister Xue hadn’t saved us today, we would have died in humiliation.”
“In my heart, Baili Longtian no longer cares about the grudges of the 9 lineages!”
“As long as it doesn’t violate my principles, even if I must charge through mountains of blades and seas of fire, I’m willing to do anything for Brother Tan!”
Xiao Qingxuan, who was supporting Baili Longtian from beside him, gently nodded.
“Longtian’s meaning is also my meaning.”
Tan Yun looked at the 4 of them before speaking firmly.
“Good! From today onward, I, Tan Yun, acknowledge all of you as my friends!”
Then he turned toward Jun Buping and Shangguan Bingbing.
“Enough wasting time. Let’s move.”
Afterward, Tan Yun, Mu Mengji, Xue Ziyan, Shangguan Bingbing, and Jun Buping left the cave together and headed toward the entrance of the Burial God Abyss.
The entrance to the abyss stretched over 20 li wide, located between towering ancient mountains that pierced the heavens.
Inside, thick black fog covered everything, completely blocking spiritual senses. Chilling winds howled endlessly from within, as if terrifying beasts lurked in the darkness.
The 5 of them hid within the black mist about 10 zhang away from the entrance. Visibility was limited to only a few li.
Tan Yun remained silent for a long moment before a sharp light flashed through his eyes.
He summoned his flying sword and slashed the ground open, creating a massive trench. Then he jumped inside, leaving only his head exposed above the surface.
“We’ll ambush them here.”
“Alright!” the other 4 replied in unison before jumping into the trench as well.
The location Tan Yun chose was extremely advantageous.
From there, they could clearly observe the outside of the abyss through the black fog within a range of 10 zhang.
However, anyone standing outside would never be able to see Tan Yun and the others hidden within.
It was like someone standing in darkness being able to clearly see everything under the light, while those beneath the light could never see into the darkness.
Jun Buping spoke up.
“Brother Tan, the 2 of you should watch the enemies outside. Bingbing and I will guard the inside of the abyss and prevent any demonic beasts from launching sneak attacks.”
“No need.”
Tan Yun shook his head before continuing,
“Let Big Guy guard the rear.”
The moment he finished speaking, the tiny Divine Golden Dragon Lion, only the size of a kitten, crawled out from Tan Yun’s robe.
It leaped onto the edge of the trench, poked its little head out, and vigilantly stared at the surging black fog deep within the abyss…
…
At the same time—
150,000 li west of the entrance to the Burial God Abyss, inside a silent mountain valley—
Li Miaoxin, one of the 3 great beauties of the Eternal Immortal Sect, hurriedly rushed into Ruyan Chen’s cave dwelling.
The moment she entered, her face instantly flushed red.
On the stone bed, Ruyan Chen was wildly indulging himself with Pan Hanqing and Guo Biyun.
“Hahaha! Miaoxin, you came at the perfect time. Hurry and take your clothes off and join us!”
Ruyan Chen laughed lewdly as his gaze swept across Li Miaoxin’s seductive figure.
Li Miaoxin slightly frowned.
“Young Master, something has happened.”
The smile on Ruyan Chen’s face immediately froze.
“What happened?”
Li Miaoxin answered with a grave expression.
“Qingyang Jiangqiu’s soul tablet… along with the soul tablets of another 425 disciples from the Eternal Immortal Sect… have all shattered!”
The identity tokens of all 2,000 trial disciples of the Eternal Immortal Sect had been entrusted to Li Miaoxin by Ruyan Chen for safekeeping.
“What did you say!?”
Ruyan Chen’s expression changed instantly.
All traces of lust vanished from his face in a heartbeat. The lewdness in his eyes gradually turned cold and grave.
He hurriedly put on his clothes, stepped down from the stone bed, and rushed toward Nangong Yuqin’s cave on the opposite side of the valley with a worried expression.
Li Miaoxin, Pan Hanqing, and Guo Biyun quickly dressed as well and followed closely behind him.
Not long after, Ruyan Chen arrived outside Nangong Yuqin’s cave.
He looked at Zhao Shiguang, Liu Danwen, Gao Xiang, and Jiang Rou, who were guarding the entrance, and spoke in a solemn voice,
“I have something important to discuss with the Holy Maiden. Go inform her for me.”
Jiang Rou looked anxious.
“Young Master Ruyan… we’ve been searching for the Holy Maiden as well.”
“She left the valley 3 days ago and still hasn’t returned. We’re all very worried.”
At this point, she took a deep breath before continuing nervously,
“I was actually about to go look for you… because the life tablets of more than 400 disciples from the Divine Spirit Immortal Palace stationed at the entrance of the Burial God Abyss… have all shattered!”
Hearing this, Ruyan Chen sucked in a cold breath.
“The Eternal Immortal Sect suffered the same…”
He fell silent for a moment before speaking again.
“How about this. If the Holy Maiden returns, tell her to come see me immediately.”
After leaving those words behind, Ruyan Chen brought the 3 beauties back to his cave.
Inside the cave, Li Miaoxin tightly frowned.
“Young Master, Senior Brother Qingyang was ranked No. 1 among the inner disciples of the Eternal Immortal Sect.”
“As for the Divine Spirit Immortal Palace, aside from Nangong Yuqin, Yuan Shilang and Jia Kuang were the strongest.”
“The 3 of them personally guarded the entrance of the Burial God Abyss. I truly can’t understand how they could have been killed.”
“Furthermore, more than 800 people died in such a short time. I don’t think disciples from Huangfu Sheng Sect are capable of doing this.”
Ruyan Chen frowned but did not answer immediately.
Instead, he turned toward Pan Hanqing and Guo Biyun.
“What do the two of you think?”
The reason Ruyan Chen sought their opinions was because although the 3 women appeared seductive and obedient on the surface, in reality, each of them was extremely intelligent and cunning.
Of course… Ruyan Chen himself was far from foolish as well.
Pan Hanqing answered honestly,
“Young Master, I’ve thought it through many times, but I still can’t think of anyone among Huangfu Sheng Sect’s disciples capable of killing Qingyang Jiangqiu.”
“Besides, with over 800 people dying without a single survivor, I believe a powerful demonic beast must have appeared inside the Burial God Abyss and slaughtered them.”
Guo Biyun nodded in agreement.
“I share Hanqing’s opinion.”
“Young Master, let us head to the Burial God Abyss to investigate first. We can decide what to do afterward.”
Ruyan Chen immediately waved his hand in refusal.
“No. I don’t want you risking your lives.”
“How about this. Use the Million-Li Communication Talismans and locate Cui Fan as quickly as possible.”
“Tell him to bring people to investigate the Burial God Abyss and find out how Qingyang Jiangqiu and the others died.”
“Once the cause is discovered, send someone back to report immediately. After that, have Cui Fan continue guarding the entrance of the Burial God Abyss.”
At this point, Ruyan Chen revealed a faint smile.
“As for me… in the future, I will inherit the position of Sect Master. Naturally, I cannot recklessly place myself in danger.”
“And of course, you are all my women. I don’t want any harm to come to you either.”
“As for dealing with Huangfu Sheng Sect’s disciples, let others handle it.”
“Our true objective is the treasures inside the Burial God Abyss. Even if we fail to enter this time, there will still be plenty of opportunities in the future.”
Hearing this, Guo Biyun walked over and lightly kissed Ruyan Chen before speaking sweetly,
“This servant obeys.”
“Thank you, Young Master, for your concern. I’ll relay the orders immediately.”
After leaving the cave, Guo Biyun ordered the 50 Eternal Immortal Sect disciples scattered throughout the valley to use their Million-Li Communication Talismans to immediately search for Cui Fan—the No. 4 strongest inner disciple of the Eternal Immortal Sect within the trial grounds!
…
7 days later—
Inside a muddy swamp located 3,000,000 li away from the Burial God Abyss—
More than 200 corpses were slowly sinking into the thick mud.
Fresh blood dyed the swamp crimson red, creating a horrifying and grotesque sight…
