Chapter Summaries

Wang Ming completed the fusion of Lifeshort and three other swords into his body, enduring severe injuries as he gained control of the weapon's power. Meanwhile, Sun Wukong fled with Jason after a failed attempt to reach the Jade Warlord's temple, and Wang Ming's weapon awaited its final step.

• Wang Ming fused Lifeshort, Southern Bright Fire Sword, Skystrike Sword, and Thunderflame Sword into his body rather than giving the weapon a spirit.
• Wang Ming endured the weapon's destructive power as Golden Swallow and WhiteHaired Demoness watched, then the two left to resume their cultivation.
• Sun Wukong fled across Five Finger Mountain with Jason after heavenly soldiers surrounded them near the Jade Warlord's temple.
• Sun Wukong decided to pause before pursuing revenge on the Jade Warlord after he and Jason were beaten by the soldiers.
• Wang Ming completed Divine Weapon Fusion and shaped the radiant weapon into several forms, leaving only its final step.

Wang Ming completed the final enchantments on the Fire Qilin, a divine weapon with the ability to evolve by devouring materials. He taught Golden Swallow and the White-Haired Demoness a modified form of Tong Clan magic, while the Fire Qilin remained imperfect and usable only as a mount.

• Wang Ming rejected Sun Wukong’s request for help against the Jade Warlord, and Sun Wukong left with Jason.

• The White-Haired Demoness and Golden Swallow asked to learn the magic, and Wang Ming passed them his modified Tong Clan Magic Chant.
• The Fire Qilin revealed its Indestructible Vajra Body and ability to transform into a stream of light, but it could still only serve as a mount.

Wang Ming and Sun Wukong sought a way to break through the Jade Warlord’s blockade at Five Finger Mountain without slaughtering tens of thousands of Celestial Soldiers or provoking other gods. Wang Ming produced a Gatling Gun and decided that Jason would use it against the troops.

• Sun Wukong explained that the Jade Warlord’s Celestial Soldiers blocked the way into his temple, and Wang Ming confirmed that magic could not be used there.
• Wang Ming and Sun Wukong rejected a plan that would require one of them to kill tens of thousands of soldiers, fearing a blood feud with Heavenly Court.

• Wang Ming revealed a Gatling Gun, and Jason recognized it as a weapon from his hometown.
• Wang Ming assigned Jason to use the Gatling Gun against the Celestial Soldiers.

Sun Wukong and Wang Ming agreed that Wang Ming would help clear the Celestial Soldiers while Sun Wukong faced the Jade Warlord himself. Sun Wukong then charged the army beneath Five Finger Mountain and began fighting its thirty thousand soldiers.

• Jason felt homesick at the sight of a Gatling Gun, but Sun Wukong stopped him from touching it.

• Sun Wukong swept aside the front row with his Ruyi Jingu Bang and challenged all thirty thousand Celestial Soldiers to fight him.

The Jade Warlord used a million heavenly soldiers and layered defenses to wear down Sun Wukong, who fought alone while drawing attention away from Five Finger Mountain. As Sun Wukong became trapped by bronze fortresses and an iron-chain net, Wang Ming secretly infiltrated the mountain.

• The White-Haired Demoness revealed that Wang Ming had already sneaked inside Five Finger Mountain while Sun Wukong drew the enemy's attention.

Sun Wukong fought a million-strong Heavenly Court army at the foot of Five Finger Mountain while Wang Ming secretly gathered vital energy for an attack. The army’s commanders refused to use God-Slaying Arrows, and Sun Wukong had spent much of his magical power as Wang Ming prepared to act.

• Sun Wukong fought through the Heavenly Court army, deflecting volleys of spears and smashing the Bronze Fortresses that hemmed him in.
• Sun Wukong destroyed the fortresses but had only six tenths of his magical power left.
• A thick-browed warrior urged the goateed general to use God-Slaying Arrows, but the general refused.

• Wang Ming covertly gathered vital energy on Five Finger Mountain while watching Sun Wukong’s battle.

• Sun Wukong overwhelmed the Celestial Soldiers, who had little reason to flee and were costly for him to kill outright.
• A goateed commander activated the Myriad Hearts as One formation, sharing the soldiers’ cultivation to battle Sun Wukong with spells and a bronze chariot.
• Sun Wukong broke the commander’s halberd and knocked him from his chariot, injuring the linked soldiers and throwing their ranks into disorder.
• The Jade Warlord arrived and struck Sun Wukong, believing his magical power was nearly spent.
• A man with silver-white eyes appeared above Five Finger Mountain and called down a massive wave of lightning that struck the army without killing anyone.

• Wang Ming struck the million heavenly soldiers with a thunderstorm, then softened the ground and bound them beneath it with only their heads exposed.
• The White-Haired Demoness wondered why Wang Ming had spared the soldiers and mistakenly suspected he planned to usurp the Jade Warlord.
• The Jade Warlord returned to his temple and judged that he could not defeat Sun Wukong and Wang Ming together.
• Fearing that Sun Wukong would replace him and unwilling to seek the Jade Emperor's help, the Jade Warlord rushed into the temple's forbidden zone.

Sun Wukong fought the Jade Warlord in his temple, while Golden Swallow and White-Haired Demoness discovered that the Jade Warlord may have boosted his cultivation by drinking the raw Jade Nectar stock. Wang Ming watched from the sidelines as Sun Wukong refused their offer of help.

• Sun Wukong entered the temple and challenged the Jade Warlord, who emerged from the central pool and said Sun Wukong was no match for him.

Sun Wukong fought the Jade Warlord in his palace, but Golden Swallow and the White-Haired Demoness joined the battle and began turning the tide against him. The Jade Warlord’s strength faltered as Golden Swallow’s sonic attacks injured him and the White-Haired Demoness’s whip began stealing his divine substance and cultivation.

• The Jade Warlord overwhelmed Sun Wukong with his growing cultivation and urged him to surrender, but Sun Wukong continued attacking.
• Sun Wukong and the Jade Warlord fought to a stalemate until Golden Swallow and the White-Haired Demoness joined Sun Wukong in attacking him.
• Sun Wukong struck the Jade Warlord’s head, and the White-Haired Demoness lashed him with her whip while he was dazed.
• The Jade Warlord caught the White-Haired Demoness’s whip and Ruyi Jingu Bang, but Golden Swallow’s sonic attack made him spit dark blood and lose his grip.
• The White-Haired Demoness bound the Jade Warlord and used her whip’s dragon head to drain his divine substance and cultivation while Golden Swallow attacked with her pipa.

The Jade Warlord overwhelmed Sun Wukong, Golden Swallow, and the White-Haired Demoness after his power surged, but Wang Ming intervened to protect his allies. Wang Ming easily turned the Jade Warlord’s attack against him, then stayed silent as the Jade Warlord demanded to know who he was.

• The Jade Warlord broke free from his restraints after the trio’s attacks accelerated his digestion of the Jade Nectar undiluted.
• The Jade Warlord’s petrifying energy injured and immobilized Sun Wukong, Golden Swallow, and the White-Haired Demoness.
• Wang Ming appeared and swept aside the Jade Warlord’s attack before it could strike the trio.
• The Jade Warlord attacked Wang Ming, who absorbed the attack with his sleeve and returned it with added force, hurling him into a wall.
• The Jade Warlord asked Wang Ming who he was, but Wang Ming remained silent.

Wang Ming discovered that Jade Warlord’s near-immortality came from law runes granted by Jade Nectar, and the Jade Warlord was accidentally killed with Golden Swallow’s Jade Hairpin. After the Jade Emperor sent Jason home and resurrected Lü Yan, Wang Ming escaped the realm when he realized the events surrounding the hairpin were a trap.

• Wang Ming failed to kill Jade Warlord because mysterious law runes protected him, and Sun Wukong explained that Jade Nectar carried the Jade Emperor’s law power.
• Jason found the Jade Hairpin and handed it to Golden Swallow, but Wang Ming kicked Jade Warlord through a series of blows until he crashed into the hairpin and died.
• The Jade Emperor sent Jason home, resurrected Lü Yan, and tried unsuccessfully to recruit Wang Ming, who left without attending the Heavenly Court assembly.

• The Jade Emperor and Queen Mother found Wang Ming’s crater and complained that their daughter had been drained of destiny and merit by him.

Wang Ming arrived in the Divine Realm and was immediately caught in the crossfire between Fei Peng and Chonglou. After they pursued him and demanded he fight, Wang Ming gave up trying to escape and prepared to defend himself.

• Wang Ming arrived in the Divine Realm and dodged several sword strikes and blood-red attacks from two battling fighters.
• Wang Ming observed the floating islands and rich spiritual energy, then saw a silver-armored swordsman and a red-haired dual-blade fighter fighting nearby.

• Wang Ming fled, but Chonglou used a spatial crack to intercept him, and Fei Peng joined the attack.
• Chonglou demanded that Wang Ming defeat him and Fei Peng to leave alive, so Wang Ming formed a light blade and a light sword to fight.

Wang Ming fought Divine General Fei Peng and Demon Lord Chonglou in the Immortal Sword World, where the two powerful opponents forced him into a battle. After realizing his weapon could not withstand theirs in a direct clash, he shifted to using martial arts to evade and counter their attacks.

• Wang Ming recognized Fei Peng and Chonglou as the Immortal Sword World's strongest combatants and blamed his bad luck on having lost most of his destiny fortune.

• The three fought at high speed across the New Immortal Realm, exchanging hundreds of weapon strikes and damaging the surrounding landscape.
• Chonglou blasted Wang Ming and Fei Peng away, and Wang Ming noticed that his Lifeshort weapon had dimmed against their powerful weapons.
• Wang Ming restored Lifeshort with his magic power, then avoided further direct weapon clashes and fought Fei Peng and Chonglou with his martial arts.

Wang Ming battled Demon Lord Chonglou and Divine General Fei Peng in a three-way fight in the not-yet-fully-formed New Immortal Realm. After trading attacks and narrowly avoiding their powers, Wang Ming declared that their warmup was over.

• Wang Ming traded fierce attacks with Fei Peng and Chonglou, using his energy insubstantiality to avoid the full force of their blows.

• Demon Lord Chonglou and Divine General Fei Peng charged across the floating continent and fought fiercely, flattening mountains and trading weapon strikes.
