The Supreme Being Against Heaven

--Translated by likesnovel--

“Alright, brother-in-law,” Xue Zi Yan replied.

Tan Yun raised another layer of soundproof barrier. Within it, absolute silence fell—no sound could leak out at all.

He took a light breath and spoke in a low voice,

“Zi Yan… have you ever heard of reincarnation?”

“I’ve heard a little… but isn’t it just a fabricated myth?” she frowned slightly.

Tan Yun let out a faint, bitter laugh.

“A myth? Of course not.”

“Brother-in-law… what do you mean?” Xue Zi Yan narrowed her eyes slightly, sensing something unusual.

“Don’t tell me… you’ve experienced reincarnation before?”

Tan Yun nodded firmly.

“Yes.”

“I… was cursed to undergo endless cycles of reincarnation.”

A deep sorrow flashed through his eyes as he began to tell her everything.

However, he deliberately omitted his true identity from the distant ancient past—the Supreme Ancient King.

Every word he spoke made the atmosphere inside the barrier heavier and more suffocating.

The more Xue Zi Yan listened, the more tears welled up in her eyes.

She could hardly imagine it—

In every lifetime, this man had watched his family and loved ones be slaughtered before his eyes… again and again.

That kind of pain… was beyond what any ordinary human could endure.

Compared to what Tan Yun had suffered—

Her own sorrow suddenly felt like nothing more than dust in the wind.

“Brother-in-law… who exactly is your enemy? And in your past lives, who were you?” she asked softly, wiping her tears.

Tan Yun glanced at her briefly.

“When the time is right, I will tell you.”

He paused, then added in a calm but firm tone,

“Remember this… you must always learn to become strong.”

“Mm… I will,” she nodded.

Tan Yun continued gently,

“Maybe the Five Spirit Lineage disciples are still somewhere in the Eternal Domain, continuing their training.”

“If they are still alive, and now that our enemies have been reduced to only Nangong Yuqin and Yue Yiren…”

“Then your sect’s disciples will have almost no enemies left. The next stage of the trial… should be much safer, don’t you think?”

Hearing this, Xue Zi Yan’s eyes lit up immediately. She nodded vigorously.

“Brother-in-law is right!”

Her mood instantly brightened as she smiled again.

“Brother-in-law… you must promise them something for me too.”

“If the Five Spirit Lineage disciples are still alive, as long as they don’t intend to harm you first…”

“You won’t attack them, okay?”

Tan Yun smiled faintly.

“Alright, I promise.”

“Yay! Brother-in-law is the best!” Xue Zi Yan laughed, then tiptoed and kissed his cheek lightly.

After that, she ran out of the soundproof barrier happily, heading toward Mu Mengyi on the other side of the spirit vessel.

Tan Yun touched the spot on his cheek lightly and shook his head with a faint smile.

“This little fool…”

On the other side, Mu Mengyi looked at Xue Zi Yan teasingly.

“How is it? Feeling better now?”

“Mm! Much better after brother-in-law comforted me!” Xue Zi Yan smiled brightly, clinging to Mu Mengyi’s arm.

Mu Mengyi smiled softly and asked in a low voice,

“Zi Yan… I want to ask you something. Don’t hide it from me, okay?”

“Mm, go ahead.”

Mu Mengyi spoke gently,

“Do you like your brother-in-law?”

Instantly—

Xue Zi Yan’s heart skipped a beat. Her face turned bright red in an instant.

She turned and glared at Mu Mengyi shyly.

“Sister! What are you talking about!”

“I don’t like him at all!”

“If you keep saying that, I’ll really get angry!”

Mu Mengyi just smiled sweetly.

“Alright, alright. I won’t tease you anymore.”

“But, little girl… you really can’t hide your feelings very well.”

Xue Zi Yan pouted, though her flushed cheeks betrayed her completely.

On another side of the ship—

Huangfu Tingfeng leaned against the spirit vessel while Ke Xinyi carefully bandaged his wounds.

“Does it hurt?” she asked softly.

“It doesn’t hurt at all,” he replied, though his gaze never left her face.

Even though Ke Xinyi kept her head lowered, her beautiful face was already faintly red…

---

At dawn the next day—

The first light of morning slowly spread across the sky of the Eternal Domain.

The spirit vessel carried everyone into a dense forest, where they found **Gongsun Ruoxi**, **Zhong Wushiyao**, and several disciples from the alchemy lineage already waiting.

Gongsun Ruoxi, Zhong Wushiyao, Sun Hong, and another **132 disciples** were still seated in meditation, maintaining a silent state of closed-door cultivation.

Tan Yun scanned them briefly. He noticed that Zhong Wushiyao was still at **Stage 9 of the Fetal Soul Realm**, while the others were also at the perfect peak of the same realm—none had stepped into the Soul Refinement Realm.

Tan Yun did not disturb them. Instead, he turned to ask over **120 alchemy disciples** who were on guard duty whether anything unusual had happened during his absence.

They reported that only a few Level 2 demonic beasts and a single Level 3 Origin Beast had intruded into the illusion formation *“Myriad Things Return to Origin”*. However, they were all killed by the **Seven Souls Annihilation Sword Formation**.

After hearing this, the alchemy disciples also learned that the experts from the Soul God Sect and Eternal Immortal Sect had nearly all been wiped out.

At first, shock and excitement filled their expressions—but it quickly turned into deep respect.

The way they looked at Tan Yun and the heavily injured disciples around him now carried undisguised admiration.

At the same time, they understood something clearly:

Tan Yun brought them here because he truly treated them as comrades.

However, many alchemy disciples still had one lingering doubt.

They clearly remembered that during the Nine-Lines Grand Competition, Ke Xinyi from the Soul Spirit Line had once shown clear intent to kill Tan Yun, Mu Mengyi, and Xue Ziyan.

So why were they now standing together in such harmony?

Unable to understand it, they chose to suppress their curiosity and did not ask further.

Tan Yun then ordered everyone to enter cultivation for recovery.

He himself sat cross-legged, preparing to continue devouring the *Source Fire*, while also waiting for the **Golden Sacred Dragon** to recover from its injuries.

Xue Ziyan, Mu Mengyi, Huangfu Tingfeng, and the others each chose their own spots and began healing.

Previously, Tan Yun had only absorbed one-third of the semi-Supreme-tier flame, *Green Spirit Flame*.

Now, he took out the remaining **2/3** from his Qian Kun ring, letting it float before him.

“Primordial Flame!”

Tan Yun raised his right hand.

Instantly, a **12-zhang** golden flame erupted from his palm.

It roared like a wild beast and lunged at the Green Spirit Flame, devouring it violently.

The fusion began at a visible speed.

At the same time, Tan Yun summoned the *Primordial Ice Flame* to simultaneously devour the ice-type spirit fire, *Lingbing True Flame*.

He also activated the **Primordial Qi Refinement Technique**, cultivating both systems simultaneously.

With a single hand seal—

A massive spiritual vortex spanning several hundred li gathered above the forest, reaching over **200 zhang** in size.

It surged into Tan Yun’s forehead, transforming into faint golden spiritual energy that nourished his spiritual sea.

Time passed.

Inside the high-tier Mustard Seed Spacetime Formation…

**40 days** went by.

The Primordial Ice Flame, originally **6 zhang** tall, had fully absorbed the ice spirit fire and expanded to **7 zhang**, reaching **Level 3 minor perfection**.

Its power now rivaled mid-grade Soul Refinement Realm treasures.

After that, Tan Yun fed it a **low-tier semi-Supreme Yin Ice Flame** to continue its evolution.

Another **1.5 months** later—

The Primordial Flame finally completely absorbed the Green Spirit Flame.

Its power surged from the peak of Level 3 directly into…

**Early Stage Level 4!**

This meant its destructive power had increased dramatically.

It could now incinerate **low-tier semi-Supreme artifacts** into ash in an instant.

At this moment—

It had truly become one of Tan Yun’s most powerful trump cards.
