The Supreme Being Against Heaven

--Translated by likesnovel--

“Boom!”

The instant the sound of kneeling echoed across the mountain peak, all the Pill Vein disciples dropped to their knees facing the God Burial Abyss. Their eyes were bloodshot, tears streaming endlessly down their faces.

“Senior Brother Tan… thank you for saving our lives!”

Their cries and roars shook the heavens and earth together!

Anyone who witnessed the scene felt an indescribable ache in their hearts…

“Tan Yun…!”

Zhong Wushiyao cried so hard she nearly collapsed. She fell to her knees as well, her fists clenched tightly while tears poured nonstop from her eyes.

“Why… why haven’t you come out yet…”

“Didn’t you promise me you would return safely…”

Mu Mengyi stood there blankly, staring toward the direction of the God Burial Abyss. Her slender body trembled violently, as though her soul had been ripped away.

At that moment—

Only 10 breaths remained before the Space-Time Tunnel would close forever!

And yet—

The empty sky showed no sign of Tan Yun.

No miracle appeared.

Complete despair engulfed everyone’s hearts.

“Hahahaha!”

At last, Ru Yanchen could no longer hold back his laughter. His face was filled with savage delight.

“He’s really dead! That bastard Tan Yun finally died!”

“I knew it! No matter how strong he was, there’s no way he could survive the God Burial Abyss—”

Bang!

Before he could finish speaking, his body was sent flying by a vicious punch!

Blood sprayed from his mouth as broken teeth scattered through the air!

The one who struck him was Huangfu Tingfeng!

“If you dare say another word, I’ll kill you right now!”

Huangfu Tingfeng glared at Ru Yanchen with icy killing intent surging around him like a storm.

At the same time, all the Pill Vein disciples instantly rose to their feet!

“Kill him!”

“If he dares insult Senior Brother Tan again, we’ll cut him into 10,000 pieces!”

The atmosphere atop the mountain instantly became unbearably tense!

Ru Yanchen’s face turned pale with terror. He hurriedly retreated behind Nangong Yuqin, not daring to utter another word.

As for Nangong Yuqin—

She remained standing silently in place.

Her beautiful eyes never left the direction of the God Burial Abyss.

Although her expression remained as cold as ever, it felt as though countless blades were carving through her heart again and again.

“Did you really die…”

“Tan Yun…”

She murmured softly, her gaze trembling in a way never seen before.

Right at that moment—

RUMBLE!

The Space-Time Tunnel high in the sky began shaking violently!

The power of space itself was collapsing!

Only 3 breaths remained before it completely shut down!

“Move! Hurry!”

Huangfu Tingfeng roared through gritted teeth.

Even though no one wanted to leave, if they failed to enter the Space-Time Tunnel now, they would be trapped forever inside the Eternal Land!

The Pill Vein disciples burst into tears as they rushed toward the tunnel one after another.

Mu Mengyi and Zhong Wushiyao turned back for one final look at the God Burial Abyss.

Their eyes were filled with tears and endless longing…

“Tan Yun…”

“We’ll wait for you…”

“No matter how long it takes… we’ll wait…”

The moment those words fell—

The 2 of them entered the Space-Time Tunnel alongside everyone else.

In the very next instant—

BOOM!

The Space-Time Tunnel completely sealed shut.

Silence descended upon the entire mountain peak…

Leaving behind only the cold wind…

And the endless darkness of the God Burial Abyss.

The actions of the Pill Vein disciples left everyone speechless with emotion.

Even though they all knew Tan Yun was still alive, not a single person dared imagine how he could possibly survive once the gigantic formation protecting the trial grounds disappeared and the terrifying beast tide was unleashed!

In everyone’s eyes—

Even with the Golden Dragon Divine Lion by his side, it was still only a Level 3 Growth-Stage demonic beast. No matter how powerful it was, there was no way it could withstand an endless horde of monsters!

At that moment—

Huangfu Tingfeng, Ke Xinyi, Jun Buping, Shangguan Bingbing, Baili Longtian, Xiao Qingxuan, Lu Ren, along with disciples from every branch, all knelt down together!

They all understood—

Tan Yun deserved this bow.

Because he had saved their lives twice!

It was not that true men never cried…

They simply had not yet reached the deepest pain of all.

The moment they remembered how Tan Yun had stood alone against the Flaming Griffins and the Profound Flame Griffin King inside the God Burial Abyss to carve out a path of survival for them—

It felt as though knives were slicing through their hearts!

“Brother-in-law…!”

Xue Ziyan cried so hard she nearly collapsed. Like a helpless little girl, she fell onto the mountain ground and sobbed pitifully.

Zhong Wushiyao crouched down, covering her face with both hands as her slender body trembled nonstop from sobbing.

Only Mu Mengyi appeared strangely calm.

She stood silently, staring toward the God Burial Abyss with lifeless eyes, as though her soul had already drifted away.

Only the tears silently falling down her cheeks revealed the agony hidden inside her heart…

“That’s enough…”

Mu Mengyi slowly closed her eyes as tears streamed across her face.

“I believe… Tan Yun wouldn’t want to see us like this.”

“There are only 5 breaths left before the Space-Time Tunnel closes… we have to go.”

Everyone nodded painfully.

Then, one after another, they stepped onto their flying swords and rushed into the Space-Time Tunnel, disappearing from sight.

Soon, only Mu Mengyi, Zhong Wushiyao, and Xue Ziyan remained atop the mountain.

“Little Sister Siyao… let’s go.”

Mu Mengyi opened her eyes once more. Her gaze lingered toward the God Burial Abyss for a long, long time, as though she wanted to engrave this place into her soul forever.

Then she turned around, tears covering her face, and flew beneath the entrance of the Space-Time Tunnel on her flying sword. Looking at Zhong Wushiyao and Xue Ziyan, whose eyes were swollen red from crying, she spoke firmly—

“Go!”

“Wuuu…”

Xue Ziyan burst into tears again.

The 3 women stepped onto their flying swords and flew into the dark Space-Time Tunnel, vanishing from this world…

On the mountain peak—

Ru Yanchen hurriedly called out to Nangong Yuqin before stepping onto his flying sword and rushing into the tunnel as well!

At this moment—

Only 3 breaths remained before the Space-Time Tunnel completely closed!

After everyone left—

Nangong Yuqin suddenly collapsed onto the ground!

Her right hand clutched tightly against her chest as her delicate body trembled violently!

Her heart hurt so badly she could barely breathe!

“Tan Yun…!”

Nangong Yuqin cried out painfully before coughing up a mouthful of blood!

At that instant—

All the hatred she once held toward Tan Yun completely vanished.

And in that same instant, she finally became certain—

Tan Yun was truly dead…

Boundless sorrow flooded through every part of her body like endless crashing waves.

The man who had filled her heart with confusion and pain she could never explain…

Was really gone…

His departure had come far too suddenly!

So suddenly that she could not even prepare herself for it!

“Wuuu…”

Nangong Yuqin cried helplessly.

“Please… don’t die…”

“I won’t seek revenge against you anymore… never again…”

“I only want you to come back alive…”

“I… I can’t lose you…”

“TAN YUN!!”

Nangong Yuqin’s anguished scream echoed across the heavens and earth.

Blood and tears flowed down her pale face, making her look heartbreakingly pitiful…

At the same time—

The Space-Time Tunnel in the sky slowly began shrinking.

Nangong Yuqin forced her trembling body to stand amidst the cold wind.

Then, carrying endless grief and tears of blood, she stepped onto her flying sword and flew into the Space-Time Tunnel.

Not long afterward—

The Space-Time Tunnel completely disappeared.

As though it had never existed at all…
