The Supreme Being Against Heaven

--Translated by likesnovel--

At this moment, Nangong Yuqin’s mind was in complete turmoil.

During the past 10 days she had spent alone beneath the giant waterfall, she had reflected on countless things.

And in the end, she became certain of one thing—

The jealousy she felt, the urge to possess him whenever she saw another woman exchanging glances with Tan Yun…

It was because she had truly fallen for Tan Yun, for no reason at all.

Back then, she had made a vow.

Even if it cost her everything, she would uncover the truth behind one question—

Was the connection between her and Tan Yun something from a past life… or merely something from this one?

Because of that, 1 month ago, she returned to that valley again.

And for the first time—

She smiled in front of Jiang Rou and the others.

But today…

Tan Yun had led his people and annihilated all disciples of the Celestial Spirit Temple.

She hated Tan Yun!

“Master… your disciple is useless…”

Nangong Yuqin’s beautiful eyes were filled with guilt as she sobbed.

“I couldn’t protect them…”

“I’m sorry…”

“Waaah…”

“But I never imagined Tan Yun and his people would be this strong…”

The pain in her heart nearly shattered her completely.

She blamed everything on herself.

She hated herself…

Hated herself to the core.

Hated being too weak to protect her fellow sect disciples.

She clenched her fist tightly until her knuckles turned white.

Her sharp nails pierced her palm, drawing blood.

“Tan Yun…”

“The promise between us… I will never forget!”

“After I uncover everything…”

“I will kill you with my own hands!”

---

At the same time—

Yue Yiren had escaped and fled tens of thousands of miles away. Her body was still trembling from pain.

Her left leg had been broken by Tan Yun’s kick.

All 5 fingers of her left hand were crushed beyond recognition.

Fearing demonic beasts, she forced her battered body into a cultivation chamber inside her spirit vessel.

Lying on the bed, she trembled violently, her eyes bloodshot as she roared madly.

“Tan Yun!!”

“One day, I will make you wish you were dead!”

“And someday…”

“I will make the entire Huangfu Sacred Sect pay a price beyond imagination!”

“No…”

“I will completely uproot and destroy the Huangfu Sacred Sect!”

---

Meanwhile, at the entrance of the Burial God Abyss—

Night had fallen.

“Tan Yun… are you alright?”

Mu Mengyi walked up to him, her face full of concern as she saw him standing in silence.

“I’m fine.”

Tan Yun gave a faint smile.

But Mu Mengyi could immediately tell he was forcing it.

Seeing that he did not want to talk, she did not press further, and instead said softly,

“Just now, Senior Brother Huangfu and the others have already buried the fallen disciples.”

“Everyone is waiting for you. Let’s go.”

She paused slightly before continuing,

“Also, Zi Yan has finished collecting all the spoils of war.”

“In this trial of the Eternal Domain, we obtained more than 5,000 items in total.”

“There are also over 10 quasi-Saint-grade artifacts among them.”

When she mentioned the war loot—

A faint smile finally appeared on Mu Mengyi’s sorrowful face.

Because the value of all these treasures was astonishingly high.

If converted into spirit stones, it would be a massive fortune.

Tan Yun nodded.

Then he walked together with Mu Mengyi toward the gathering point hundreds of zhang away.

At that moment—

The atmosphere was heavy and silent.

Everyone was mourning the fallen disciples.

Tan Yun sighed and looked at everyone slowly.

“The dead have already passed on.”

“You don’t need to be consumed by sorrow.”

“In battles between life and death… casualties are inevitable.”

“The brothers and sisters of our Huangfu Sacred Sect did not die in vain.”

“Because…”

“We made the Eternal Immortal Sect and the Celestial Spirit Temple pay a much heavier price!”

Huangfu Tingfeng nodded immediately and said firmly,

“Brother Tan is absolutely right. Everyone, calm yourselves.”

“Let’s discuss this… should we go down into the Burial God Abyss to search for treasures?”

“Agreed!”

Baili Longtian, Xiao Qingxuan, Jun Buping, Shangguan Bingbing, Lu Ren, Ke Xinyi, and the others all nodded in unison.

Then Mu Mengyi and Xue Zi Yan turned to look at Tan Yun.

Huangfu Tingfeng asked again,

“Brother Tan, what is your opinion on exploring the Abyss for treasures?”

Tan Yun thought for a moment before speaking slowly,

“Right now, everyone is still injured. It’s not suitable to descend into the Burial God Abyss.”

“I suggest… we wait until everyone has fully recovered, then go down together. That would be better.”

He paused briefly, then continued calmly,

“Of course, this is only my suggestion. I won’t force anyone.”

After hearing this, everyone expressed agreement that they would follow Tan Yun’s arrangement.

After witnessing with their own eyes the complete annihilation of the Eternal Immortal Sect and the Celestial Spirit Temple disciples—

No one dared to doubt Tan Yun’s ability anymore.

What remained was no longer just admiration…

But genuine respect and trust.

Afterward, Tan Yun explained the “High-Level Mustard Seed Spacetime Formation” used by the talisman lineage to everyone.

He also suggested that they enter the formation to recover from their injuries.

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately agreed.

Because one day inside the formation was equivalent to 1.5 days outside, greatly accelerating recovery.

Soon after, everyone boarded Huangfu Tingfeng’s peak-grade spirit vessel.

Following Tan Yun, they headed toward the eastern forest—covering a distance of over **300,000 li**.

---

During the journey—

Xue Zi Yan remained unusually silent, her eyes filled with sorrow she could not hide.

For the past **4 months**, all other factions—the talisman lineage, array formation lineage, spirit pavilion lineage, spirit beast lineage, thunder lineage, and ancient spirit lineage—had already received news of their disciples, whether alive or dead.

Only the “Five Spirit Lineage” remained completely without any news.

Under the moonlight—

Mu Mengyi noticed Xue Zi Yan’s expression and walked over to Tan Yun, whispering softly,

“It has been a long time…”

“I’m afraid something serious has happened to the Five Spirit Lineage disciples.”

“You should go comfort her. She looks very sad.”

She paused slightly before adding,

“Also… didn’t you once say that even if she begged you, you wouldn’t help the Five Spirit Lineage disciples?”

“That probably made her feel uneasy. Go keep her company.”

Tan Yun nodded slightly and walked to the side of the spirit vessel, standing beside Xue Zi Yan.

He gently placed his hand on her shoulder.

“Don’t be sad, little fool.”

Xue Zi Yan froze for a moment, then suddenly turned around and hugged Tan Yun tightly.

“Brother-in-law…”

Tears fell like rain, soaking Tan Yun’s clothes.

“I know… I shouldn’t have mentioned the Five Spirit Lineage…”

“But every time I think about the possibility that something happened to them…”

“I just can’t help it… sob…”

Tan Yun gently patted her back.

“If you want to cry, then cry it out.”

“It will make you feel better.”

Time passed slowly.

Eventually, Xue Zi Yan stopped crying. Her face turned slightly red as she reluctantly let go of Tan Yun, feeling embarrassed.

“Does your injury still hurt?” Tan Yun asked gently, looking at the wounds on her body.

“A little…”

She wiped her tears and quickly returned to her cheerful self.

“Okay! I’ve finished crying. I’m not sad anymore!”

Tan Yun smiled faintly and tapped her nose lightly.

“One round of crying, and you’re already fine?”

“Brother-in-law! You’re teasing me again. I’m not talking to you anymore!” Xue Zi Yan pouted.

But the moment she finished speaking—

Her eyes began to tear up again.

“But Brother-in-law… what should I do if I’m still sad…”

Tan Yun took a deep breath and looked up at the star-filled sky before speaking slowly,

“Zi Yan… remember this well.”

“The secret I am about to tell you now…”

“Is a lesson… meant to make you stronger.”
