Chapter Summary

Key Plot Points and Events

• Fu Feng True Lord realizes the true purpose of the Heavenly Investiture List. Since the Jiuzhou World allows entry but not escape, the major sects that entered to compete for fortune—including Qiankun, Kongdong, Splendid Cloud, Yin-Yang Orthodox, One Dao Palace, Primordial Yang, and Zhenxiao—were actually being prepared as candidates for divine investiture. Their fates had effectively been decided in advance by Eastern Heaven Daoism and the Three Dao-Master True Yangs.
• Jiang Sheng exploits Fu Feng’s shock and confusion, striking him with Severing Karma. The attack only wounds Fu Feng’s brow, allowing Fu Feng to believe Jiang Sheng’s threat was exaggerated and that tribulation qi had merely disturbed his mind.
• Jiang Sheng then reveals the true purpose of the first strike: it has disrupted the connection between Fu Feng’s divine soul, true spirit, physical body, and Dao Fruit. Before Fu Feng can respond, the Azure Edge dharma sword pierces through his head with One Sword Slays the Soul, severely injuring his soul.
• Xuanyi and Ming Xian join the assault from the south and west, wielding the Crimson and Indigo Violet swords of the Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation. Their attacks combine thunder, fire, calamity, and tribulation power.
• Fu Feng attempts Sword Shaking the River of Stars, manifesting his life star. However, the Green Lotus Formation Diagram has isolated the battlefield from the sun, moon, stars, heavenly mechanisms, and primordial spiritual qi. His wounded soul and the surrounding tribulation qi further weaken the technique.
• The Immortal-Slaughter Sword destroys Fu Feng’s sword technique and blasts through his body, shattering most of his organs and destabilizing his Dao Fruit. The Immortal-Trapping Sword follows, engulfing him in tribulation fire and reducing much of his body to ash.
• Jiang Sheng gathers the full power of the sword formation into the Azure Duckweed Sword. His sword intent evokes a multicolored river representing the passage of time, which transforms into a dark river of Sha Qi, calamity, and inevitable tribulation.
• Fu Feng briefly awakens to the danger, but Jiang Sheng delivers the final strike. His head is severed, his karmic fate is cut, his Heavenly Star extinguished, and his Dao Fruit destroyed. Fu Feng True Lord dies and is “returned to his place,” fulfilling Jiang Sheng’s earlier declaration.

Character Developments

• Fu Feng True Lord shifts from confident resistance to horrified realization. He understands that the great tribulation and the Heavenly Investiture List have made him part of a larger sacrificial design. Although he initially dismisses Jiang Sheng’s psychological attack, his injured soul, damaged body, and isolation from external cosmic power leave him unable to recover.
• Jiang Sheng demonstrates careful planning and overwhelming control of the battle. His first attack is deliberately used to establish a deeper disruption before the killing blows arrive. With Xuanyi and Ming Xian supporting him, he becomes capable of unleashing the full power of the Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation.
• Xuanyi and Ming Xian act as the formation’s essential supporting pillars. Their coordinated use of the Immortal-Slaughter and Immortal-Trapping Swords greatly amplifies Jiang Sheng’s offensive and prevents Fu Feng from escaping or recovering.

Significant Themes

• Predetermined fate and divine investiture: The Heavenly Investiture List turns the ambitions of multiple sects into a trap, suggesting that their struggle for fortune was orchestrated and that their deaths may serve a larger cosmic purpose.
• The power of tribulation: Tribulation qi clouds judgment, suppresses outside resources, and transforms the battlefield into a sealed realm where even powerful cultivators cannot rely on the heavens, stars, or primordial energy.
• Coordination versus individual strength: Fu Feng is a powerful Second Tribulation True Lord, but Jiang Sheng’s teamwork with Xuanyi and Ming Xian allows the sword formation to overcome his superior cultivation.
• Karma, time, and inevitability: The river imagery and the repeated references to severing karma emphasize that Fu Feng’s past actions, present suffering, and future death are connected in a single unavoidable cycle.
• Death as restoration of order: Jiang Sheng’s command that Fu Feng “perish and be invested as a god” presents death not merely as defeat, but as the fulfillment of the Investiture of the Gods and the restoration of a predetermined cosmic order.

Character Interactions

• Fu Feng verbally challenges Jiang Sheng after surviving Severing Karma, attempting to regain psychological dominance by mocking the strike’s apparent weakness.
• Jiang Sheng does not answer directly; instead, he reveals the hidden effect of the attack through the follow-up soul-severing sword.
• Xuanyi and Ming Xian coordinate with Jiang Sheng, launching successive sword attacks that exploit Fu Feng’s soul injury and prevent him from drawing on celestial power.
• The battle culminates in Jiang Sheng personally delivering the execution strike, transforming the combined force of the formation into the sword that severs Fu Feng’s karma, Dao Fruit, and life star.
