The Supreme Being Against Heaven
Chapter Summary
Fighting Senior Brother Ye is like smashing an egg against a rock—he’s clearly courting death!” At that moment, a disciple suddenly cried out in shock. When Tan Yun first joined the sect, he was only at Level 7 of the Spirit Embryo Realm, but now… he has already reached Level 9!” These words instantly caused a huge commotion in the crowd.

Everyone present immediately understood that Tan Yun was calling Ye Tian the dog of Linghu Changkong!
“Damn! Tan Yun is far too arrogant!”
“This isn’t arrogance, it’s ignorance of his own limits! Fighting Senior Brother Ye is like smashing an egg against a rock—he’s clearly courting death!”
At that moment, a disciple suddenly cried out in shock.
“Wait! Look quickly! When Tan Yun first joined the sect, he was only at Level 7 of the Spirit Embryo Realm, but now… he has already reached Level 9!”
These words instantly caused a huge commotion in the crowd.
When the disciples carefully examined Tan Yun’s cultivation level, their eyes filled with disbelief!
Aside from the Grand Elder, the Law Enforcement Elder, and the 10th Elder,
the other 13 elders were all inwardly shocked. They secretly thought that Tan Yun’s rate of improvement could only be described as the talent of a genius rarely seen in 10,000 years!
However, mocking voices continued to echo.
“That’s true, Tan Yun can be considered a genius… but unfortunately, a genius who is about to fall!”
“Exactly! So what if he has reached Level 9? No matter how talented he is, how could he possibly compare to Senior Brother Ye?”
“What a joke! If he can defeat Senior Brother Ye, I’ll change my surname!”
“…”
Despite the ridicule echoing around him,
Tan Yun continued walking steadily until he stopped beneath the battle platform. Then he cupped his fists respectfully toward Shen Qingqiu, who stood on the ranking platform.
“Mm.”
Shen Qingqiu nodded slightly before saying,
“It is almost the Chen hour (07:00–09:00). Go up onto the battle platform.”
“This disciple obeys.”
After speaking,
amid the envious gazes of the surrounding disciples, Mu Mengyi gently adjusted Tan Yun’s collar and spoke softly,
“You promised you would return safely… don’t break your word.”
Tan Yun smiled confidently at her before lightly pushing off with the tip of his foot.
His body soared onto the battle platform gracefully like a swallow.
After landing, he stood facing Ye Tian with a cold and indifferent expression.
Shen Qingqiu looked at the 2 of them solemnly before speaking in a heavy tone,
“You 2 must remember this clearly.”
“According to the sect’s rules, once you step onto the life-and-death battle platform… only 1 person will survive.”
“If anyone attempts to escape the platform, they will be killed without mercy!”
Ye Tian and Tan Yun spoke at the same time.
“This disciple understands!”
Shen Qingqiu then loudly announced,
“I hereby declare—the life-and-death duel between the sect disciples Tan Yun and Ye Tian… has begun!”
The moment the announcement ended,
the entire square fell into complete silence.
The eyes of the millions of people stared unblinkingly at Tan Yun and Ye Tian!
“Wait!”
Suddenly, a clear female voice filled with concern rang out from behind the crowd.
Tan Yun turned to look back.
He saw a young woman in white, as beautiful as a fairy descending from heaven, running through the sea of people toward him!
That woman seemed to have only just recovered from serious injuries.
Although her cultivation had reached the Great Perfection of the Spirit Embryo Realm,
her condition looked weak. As she ran, her body swayed slightly, her face was pale, and beads of sweat appeared across her forehead.
The disciples looked at the woman in confusion.
“Senior Sister Zhong Wu Shiyao… what is she trying to do?”
Everyone stared in puzzlement at Zhong Wu Shiyao as she staggered toward the battle platform.
At that moment, Xue Ziyan spoke irritably,
“Senior Sister Mu, it looks like this shameless fox has set her sights on Junior Brother Tan!”
Mu Mengyi said nothing.
She merely frowned slightly as she looked toward Zhong Wu Shiyao.
Soon…
When Zhong Wu Shiyao arrived in front of the battle platform,
her white skirt fluttered and her black hair flowed in the wind as she stepped onto the stage.
But the moment she got up—
her slender body suddenly swayed violently—
almost collapsing right in front of Tan Yun!
Zhong Wu Shiyao did not even wipe the sweat from her forehead. Her eyes, filled with concern, stared at Tan Yun as she spoke in a slightly weak voice.
“Since the last time we parted, I have been recovering from my injuries. Just now I went to your residence but didn’t find you… have your injuries from last time fully healed?”
“They’re healed.”
Tan Yun’s expression was rather cold.
“Thank you for your concern, Senior Sister. If there is nothing else, please go down. Ye Tian and I are about to begin the duel.”
“Mm…”
Zhong Wu Shiyao nodded gently.
Then she raised her slender hand and removed an emerald-green jade pendant hanging from her fair neck, handing it toward Tan Yun.
“My mother told me that it can ward off misfortune and bring good luck. Now I give it to you.”
Tan Yun replied coldly,
“This is something your mother left for you. I cannot accept it.”
“You saved my life. I don’t want anything to happen to you. Please accept it—consider it my way of repaying your kindness.”
Zhong Wu Shiyao lowered her head.
As she turned to leave, she quietly placed the jade pendant into Tan Yun’s hand.
But—
Tan Yun did not reach out to take it.
“Crack!”
The jade pendant fell onto the battle platform and instantly shattered into 2 pieces!
Zhong Wu Shiyao’s delicate body trembled.
When she slowly turned back and saw the broken jade pendant on the ground, her face turned pale in an instant, and tears began streaming down uncontrollably.
“Tan Yun, you bastard!”
An angry roar suddenly erupted from beneath the stage.
Liu Rulong glared at Tan Yun with furious eyes.
“That was the only keepsake that Shiyao’s mother left for her before she died!”
Hearing this, Tan Yun froze for a moment.
He frowned and looked at Zhong Wu Shiyao. Originally, he wanted to say something, but when he remembered that she was Liu Rulong’s younger sister, he chose to remain silent.
“Brother, don’t blame him… he didn’t mean it.”
Zhong Wu Shiyao bent down with tears in her eyes and picked up the shattered jade pendant.
Her beautiful eyes looked at Tan Yun, filled with questions.
“We were chased by a troop of demonic apes. We fought and risked our lives together… but after returning to the sect, why have you changed?”
“Weren’t we… friends?”
Tan Yun replied indifferently,
“I have never changed.”
“And we were never friends.”
“If I had the chance to choose again… I probably wouldn’t have saved you.”
“As for your jade pendant, I didn’t intend for it to break.”
In his heart, he sighed softly.
“If it weren’t for Liu Rulong… perhaps we could have been good friends…”
“Tan Yun, I truly misjudged you!”
Zhong Wu Shiyao knew nothing about the grudge between Tan Yun and Liu Rulong. She looked at him coldly.
“I treated you as a friend, yet you treat me like this!”
“From today onward, the friendship between us… is over!”
She truly could not understand.
Why had the young man who once talked and laughed with her become such a stranger now?
“Whoosh!”
Liu Rulong’s expression turned vicious as he leaped onto the battle platform. With his left hand, he tightly grabbed Zhong Wu Shiyao and glared fiercely at Tan Yun.
“Kid, what you did today… you will pay the price for it!”
“Little sister, let’s go!”
Liu Rulong pulled Zhong Wu Shiyao and quickly jumped down from the battle platform.
The millions of outer-sect disciples stared at the scene on the platform in shock, as if they could hardly believe their eyes.
Was Tan Yun really Zhong Wu Shiyao’s savior?
Since they had once fought side by side through life and death, why had they now become like strangers?
“Ahem…”
Shen Qingqiu coughed lightly, his expression slightly displeased.
“Tan Yun, this is the battle platform. Matters unrelated to the duel must not happen again. Do you understand?”
“This disciple understands!”
Tan Yun replied respectfully.
“Good. Begin!”
Shen Qingqiu waved his hand.
Ye Tian revealed a cruel smile.
“Trash! Last time I let you escape, but today… I want to see who can save you!”
As soon as he finished speaking,
Ye Tian unleashed the Dragon King Martial Body!
Having fought Tan Yun once before, Ye Tian had no intention of testing him again.
He intended to kill Tan Yun in the most brutal way possible!
“Rip!”
Ye Tian’s white robe instantly exploded into pieces, turning into fragments of cloth that scattered through the air.
“Crack! Crack!”
The sound of bones cracking echoed continuously throughout his body.
Ye Tian’s 7-chi tall body rapidly expanded until he became a 5-meter giant!
He stood towering like an iron tower, like a monstrous humanoid standing before Tan Yun!
His arms, legs, and neck were covered with enormous bulging muscles shaped like dragons, each as thick as bowls.
Even his massive head was filled with bulging muscles.
Every dragon-shaped muscle seemed to contain within it a power capable of destroying the world!
