Chapter Summaries

Lin Fan completed the Myriad Rivers Returning to the Sea Formation, designed to let its Formation Eyes share and amplify one another’s power, and gathered his disciples for an upcoming operation against the Dark Forbidden Zone. The chapter ended with him ordering them to learn the formation within a month.

• Lin Fan activated the nine-piece gold Hero Illustrated Guide set and maxed out the Seven-colored Invincible Method, then used the formation illustrated guide to plan an enhanced battle formation.
• Xiao Ling'er contacted the disciples away from the sect; Shi Hao and Yaya agreed to return, while Qin Yu, Xu Fenglai, and Luo Feng could not be reached.
• Xiao Ling'er invited Long Aojiao to join the operation, and Long Aojiao eagerly set out for Moon Embracing Sect.
• The disciples returned one by one, and Ren Xiaoyao was nearly defeated when he tested himself against Yaya, who was only in the Thirteenth Realm.
• Lin Fan identified the risk that a Formation Eye might withhold shared power, so he added perspective-sharing, a voting mechanism, and a hidden backdoor that gave him control over power distribution.
• After completing the formation and greeting the gathered disciples, Lin Fan named it the Myriad Rivers Returning to the Sea Formation and told them to master its basics within a month.

Lin Fan assembled allies to attack the Dark Forbidden Zone with the Myriad Rivers Returning to the Sea Formation, while Ji Chutong returned with new strength and a mysterious gourd from the Sea of Worlds. The force reached the Forbidden Zone and prepared to draw out and kill its ancient residents.

• Long Aojiao demanded a formation copy and challenged Lin Fan, but she backed down when he revealed his Fifteenth Realm cultivation; Lin Fan later arranged for her to receive the formation.
• Shi Qi and Qin Hao studied their roles in the Myriad Rivers Returning to the Sea Formation, and Shi Qi believed its power could let him slay an Immortal King.
• Lin Fan contacted the Lord of Guixu, who sent Ding Changsheng to collect the formation, and Ji Chutong returned after years of traveling through the Sea of Worlds with her body transformed into Mystic Gates and Cave Heavens.
• Ji Chutong gave Lin Fan an imitation gourd whose blade attack resembled the Immortal-Slaying Flying Dagger, leading him to suspect that an Investiture of the Gods World existed within the Sea of Worlds.
• At the Dark Forbidden Zone, Lin Fan explained that Ding Changsheng would detonate it to force its residents out, then the assembled forces would kill them; he called for the formation to rise.

Lin Fan and the others used the Myriad Rivers Returning to the Sea Formation to surround the core of the Dark Forbidden Zone, while Ding Changsheng activated a sacrificial formation to force its ancient inhabitants out. More than two hundred powerful beings awakened, and as the Lord of Guixu fought one of their Immortal Kings, he began to fall behind.

• Lin Fan activated the Myriad Rivers Returning to the Sea Formation, which enhanced the Formation Eyes and let them share power; Ding Changsheng and the Lord of Guixu were shocked by the strength they could draw upon.
• Lin Fan sent the group to surround the Dark Forbidden Zone's core, where Ding Changsheng activated the formation he had prepared to sacrifice everything within it.
• The sacrificial force awakened more than two hundred ancient beings, including nearly seven Immortal Kings and an Immortal King Giant, while one ancient sovereign interrupted Ding Changsheng's formation.
• The awakened ancients sent an Immortal King to fight the Lord of Guixu, while the others mocked the group and prepared to kill them.
• The Lord of Guixu fought fiercely but was gradually suppressed by the ancient Supreme, whose attacks shattered space and ground away the laws around them.

The Lord of Guixu used the formation to conceal his strength, killed one ancient Supreme, and fought the remaining six while Yaya faced an Immortal King and over two hundred Fifteenth Realm enemies. Yaya linked her Immortal Flower Incarnations to the formation and unleashed a future-born power that destroyed nine attackers in one punch, leaving her enemies and allies stunned.

• The Lord of Guixu used the formation to suppress an ancient Supreme and sacrificed him, while Yaya absorbed the departing Origin Power with her Great Dao Treasure Bottle.
• The remaining six ancient Supremes attacked the Lord of Guixu, and one Immortal King led more than two hundred Fifteenth Realm cultivators toward Yaya.
• Yaya summoned three thousand Immortal Flower Incarnations and used the Myriad Transformations Immortal Art to dissolve attacks and absorb their Origin Power.
• Yaya connected her Incarnations to the Myriad Rivers Returning to the Sea Formation, greatly increasing the power of both her and the Lord of Guixu.
• Yaya used the Self-Transformation into Freedom Method to summon a masked future version of herself, then unleashed a punch that annihilated nine Fifteenth Realm cultivators and drove the survivors back.

After Yaya’s strike forced the enemies to change targets, Ji Chutong and Wang Teng each borrowed the formation’s power and revealed astonishing abilities. Wang Teng’s sword attack combined the Black Hole Fist with another destructive force, leaving Three Leaves to recognize it as a miniature Matter-Antimatter Fist.

• Yaya held back rather than pursuing the enemies, and the leading Immortal King chose Ji Chutong as his next target.
• Ji Chutong borrowed Yaya’s power, filled her nine cave heavens, and kicked the leading Immortal King in half while scattering the other attackers.
• The Immortal King recognized Ji Chutong’s overwhelming strength and led his group toward Wang Teng, while Ji Chutong returned to her position.
• Wang Teng borrowed power from the formation, swallowed the incoming attacks and treasures with a black hole, and launched Sword Eleven: Nirvana.
• Wang Teng’s flying swords teleported through the chaotic battlefield and pierced the enemies despite their attacks and defenses.
• The flying swords exploded with intertwined destructive forces, and Three Leaves recognized the attack as a miniature Matter-Antimatter Fist.

Wang Teng, Three Leaves, and Shi Qi used the formation’s power to devastate the Dark Forbidden Zone’s attackers, forcing them to change targets repeatedly. The enemies then charged Ren Xiaoyao, who unleashed his Moon Embracing Kill and rushed into their ranks.

• Wang Teng combined matter and antimatter in Sword Eleven, using the formation’s energy to kill several attackers and forcing the ancient madmen to retreat.
• Three Leaves separated the battlefield with A Sword Separating Worlds, then unleashed Sun Moon Stars and killed more than a dozen Fifteenth Realm cultivators.
• The attackers chose Shi Qi as their next target, but his double pupils let him defend, conceal himself, and kill several old madmen before the group withdrew.
• The Immortal Kings devised a plan to leave some attackers behind against Shi Qi and send others to break the formation by targeting Ren Xiaoyao.
• Ren Xiaoyao summoned the Taiyin Star and used his Moon Swallowing Immortal Art’s Moon Embracing Kill, charging at the attackers with the bright moon in his arms.

Ren Xiaoyao and Huo Yun'er revealed their strength against the Forbidden Zone forces, with Huo Yun'er’s new technique killing dozens of old madmen. The surviving Immortal Kings concluded that Long Aojiao was secretly empowering the others and marked her as their true target.

• Ren Xiaoyao used the Taiyin Star to freeze and shatter enemies, then challenged the old madmen, who retreated and regrouped against the Lord of Guixu.
• The old madmen struggled to explain why their opponents seemed so powerful, then chose Huo Yun'er as their next target because she appeared to have the lowest realm and weakest talent.
• Huo Yun'er used nine strange fires to create the Infinite Fire Domain, then unleashed Calamity Unleashed, killing nearly fifty old madmen and wounding the survivors.
• Xiao Ling'er supported Huo Yun'er after the attack, and Huo Yun'er admitted she feared falling too far behind her companions.
• The three Immortal Kings decided that an unseen figure must be helping the juniors and identified Long Aojiao as the likely source of their strength.

Long Aojiao used the Myriad Rivers Returning to the Sea Formation and the Overlord Divine Halberd to kill an Immortal King and devastate the enemy, while Lin Fan recognized that her Intelligence Reduction Halo had made the Immortal Kings misjudge the formation. After the enemy figured out the formation and prepared to split up and attack, Xiao Ling'er formed a fire domain and added her Lightning Fire Illusory Bodies to strengthen the formation.

• The three Immortal Kings decided to attack Long Aojiao, believing she was the source of the others' borrowed strength, but her Intelligence Reduction Halo made them certain she was weak.
• Long Aojiao unleashed her techniques and the Overlord Divine Halberd, tore apart the Immortal Kings' assault, and killed one Immortal King with a single strike.
• Lin Fan realized that Long Aojiao's Intelligence Reduction Halo had confused the enemy and noted that the formation's power-shifting effect had been exposed.
• Long Aojiao continued slaughtering the enemy, while Qin Hao doubted himself and Shi Hao encouraged him before declaring that he would suppress every enemy under heaven.
• The surviving Immortal Kings ordered the old madmen to split up, pin down their targets, and break the formation by attacking the Three Thousand Immortal Flower Incarnations.
• Xiao Ling'er withdrew her power from the formation, created an Infinite Fire Domain, and sent her Lightning Fire Illusory Bodies into the formation to increase its power.

Lin Fan and the others used the Myriad Rivers Returning to the Sea Formation to empower their clones and fight the Dark Forbidden Zone’s old madmen and Immortal Kings. The battle left Xiao Ling'er facing an Immortal King outside her still-incomplete Infinite Fire Domain, while she reflected on how to strengthen it.

• An Immortal King ordered the attackers to split up and target the formation’s members, so Long Aojiao, Shi Hao, and others created clones, summoned allies, or drew on other sources of power to reinforce the formation.
• Lin Fan produced tens of thousands of Immortal Flower Avatars and Lightning Fire Illusory Bodies, allowing the formation to empower its fighters until Lin Fan, Ren Xiaoyao, and Xu Youmeng reached Immortal King-level power.
• Zuo Yu asked everyone to injure and suppress their enemies rather than kill them, while Lin Fan incapacitated three attackers and handed them over to Zuo Yu.
• The fighters battled across the field: Shi Hao and Lin Dong challenged Immortal Kings, Liu Jianmin harassed enemies with spells, and He Qiang’s catch swallowed several old madmen along with a piece of space.
• An Immortal King and more than a dozen old madmen targeted Xiao Ling'er, but Huo Yun'er intercepted the group while Xiao Ling'er fought the Immortal King outside the Infinite Fire Domain.
• Xiao Ling'er lamented that her Infinite Fire Domain remained rudimentary and considered the possibility that its complete form would make her invincible within it.

Xiao Ling'er summoned more than a hundred ownerless strange flames and used them to unleash a devastating Destruction Fire Lotus against Luo Qianqiu, leaving the Immortal King badly injured. As the other fallen Immortal Kings struggled against their opponents, Xiao Ling'er taunted Luo Qianqiu and challenged him to attack her.

• Xiao Ling'er invoked the Flame Emperor's authority, and more than a hundred ownerless strange flames rushed to her aid.
• Xiao Ling'er combined 118 Heavenly Flames into a Destruction Fire Lotus that shattered Luo Qianqiu's defenses and seriously injured him.
• Luo Qianqiu used Reverse Heaven and Earth and the Time Law to survive the blast, while Xiao Ling'er prepared to attack again.
• Luo Qianqiu called for Zhou Qingqi, Shen Zhengqi, Bai Wangji, and Nangong Jin to help, but saw that they were all struggling against their opponents.
• Xiao Ling'er identified Luo Qianqiu and provoked him by claiming the ancient supremes had fallen behind the present age.
• Luo Qianqiu angrily threatened to kill Xiao Ling'er, and she challenged him to prove his strength.

Xiao Ling'er and the Moon Embracing Sect suppressed the Dark Forbidden Zone’s Immortal Kings while Zuo Yu used Infinite Moon Reading to turn the captured Fifteenth Realm old madmen against them. The old madmen joined the sect’s forces, and the deeper slumbering beings were on the verge of awakening.

• Luo Qianqiu summoned deeper slumbering beings, then unleashed Thousand Autumns Like a Painting against Xiao Ling'er, who sealed his technique and bound him with her nine strange flames.
• Shi Hao, the Lord of Guixu, and the others defeated or suppressed their opponents, while Long Aojiao brought a captured Immortal King to Zuo Yu.
• Zuo Yu asked Ren Xiaoyao to create a moon, then cast Infinite Moon Reading and trapped the Immortal Kings and old madmen in personalized illusions.
• The old madmen relived their ideal pasts, learned of the Dark Forbidden Zone’s planned harvest, and began fighting alongside Zuo Yu’s side.
• Zuo Yu gave the old madmen Healing Pills as they strengthened the formation, leaving Luo Qianqiu and the other Immortal Kings shocked by his confidence.

Zuo Yu used Izanami to trap the fallen Immortal Kings in repeating memories of the choices that led them to fall, forcing them to confront their pasts and motives. Luo Qianqiu began questioning his reasons for continuing the Dark Turmoil, while Zuo Yu endured the technique’s backlash and targeted the remaining Immortal Kings.

• Lin Fan recalled how Zuo Yu had developed Infinite Moon Reading, which subdued the peak and late-stage Fifteenth Realm old madmen but could not control the Immortal Kings.
• Long Aojiao praised Zuo Yu’s illusion technique and prepared to fight the Immortal Kings, while Zuo Yu revealed he had another method to test on them.
• Zuo Yu touched Luo Qianqiu’s brow and trapped him in an Izanami illusion that repeatedly replayed the events leading to his fall.
• Luo Qianqiu relived his beloved’s death, his revenge, and his decision to fall, repeatedly choosing to pursue survival even as he began questioning whether she would accept what he had become.
• Luo Qianqiu struggled to accept that he might have been wrong and insisted he would resurrect Ling and create a world where she existed.
• Outside the illusion, Zuo Yu suffered backlash, swallowed pills, and sent the remaining Immortal Kings into their own Izanami illusions.

Zuo Yu’s Izanami trapped the Immortal Kings, but five Fallen Supremes awakened and shattered Ding Changsheng’s attempt to sacrifice them. The group refused the Supremes’ offer to become their servants, and Long Aojiao opened the battle by challenging one of them with her Overlord Divine Halberd.

• Zuo Yu assured Long Aojiao that Izanami would keep the Immortal Kings trapped, but the five Fallen Supremes awakened before it could take effect.
• Xiao Ling'er protected Zuo Yu and the others in the Infinite Fire Domain as Shi Qi identified the newcomers as ancient beings stronger than Immortal King Giants.
• One of the Fallen Supremes shattered Ding Changsheng’s modified formation, while Lin Fan assured the group that the Myriad Rivers Returning to the Sea Formation could not be broken by her.
• Long Aojiao taunted the Fallen Supremes with the Overlord Divine Halberd, and they offered the group a chance to live if they joined the Dark Forbidden Zone as servants.
• The group refused, Long Aojiao attacked, and she used the formation’s power and her Overlord Boundless Body to shatter an Immortal King Giant’s hand seal before charging at her.

Long Aojiao, Xiao Ling'er, Shi Hao, and their allies fought the Fallen Supremes with the Myriad Rivers Return to the Sea Formation, while Lin Fan confronted the Dark Forbidden Zone's Supreme Immortal King Giant. The chapter ended with Lin Fan transforming into an Azure Dragon and preparing to unleash his power.

• Long Aojiao fought an Immortal King Giant with her Heavenly Hand and Overlord Divine Halberd, while the opponent searched for a way to break the formation.
• Xiao Ling'er and her allies joined forces against the Blue Skirt Woman, who was badly injured after insulting the Lord of the Immortal Palace.
• Shi Hao and his fellow disciples held off another Immortal King Giant, though the Fallen Supremes' magic treasures pushed the defenders onto the back foot.
• Lin Fan faced the Supreme Immortal King Giant and blocked his overwhelming attack by declaring, "Freeze!"
• Lin Fan used Three Heads Six Arms and began the Azure Heaven Dragon Transformation Art, summoning an Azure Dragon into the sky.

Lin Fan battled Han Wuwei, countering his attacks with borrowed Dao fruits, the Karma Seal, and rapidly expanding Grotto-Heavens until he overpowered him in a direct clash. Ji Chutong learned from Lin Fan’s demonstration and opened many more Grotto-Heavens, while Xiao Ling'er prepared Huo Yun'er to take the main attack against the Blue Skirt Woman.

• Lin Fan used the True Dragon Treasure Technique to turn the torrent of power back on Han Wuwei, then sealed part of his karma to evade a tracking sword.
• Lin Fan borrowed Huo Yun'er's and Ji Chutong's Dao fruits, used eighteen fused exotic flames to suppress Han Wuwei, and seized his flame within the Infinite Fire Domain.
• Lin Fan outpaced Han Wuwei with the Xingzi Secret, then opened more than a hundred thousand Grotto-Heavens and defeated him in a fist clash.
• Lin Fan mocked Han Wuwei, who struck himself in frustration before resuming their fight.
• Ji Chutong followed Lin Fan's example and opened a hundred Grotto-Heavens, easing the pressure on Xiao Ling'er and the others.
• Xiao Ling'er asked Huo Yun'er to lead the attack against the Blue Skirt Woman while she supported her.

Lin Fan overwhelmed Han Wuwei in close combat, then wounded him with a flying sword whose name made him pause when Lin Fan called out to it. Han Wuwei learned that the sword was literally named Fellow Daoist Wait a Moment, and the chapter ended with the sword proudly accepting its ridiculous name.

• Xiao Ling'er and Huo Yun'er used the opening created by Ji Chutong and Yaya to recover and follow Lin Fan's combat teachings.
• Lin Fan used his Cave Heaven Divine Ring and a Serious Punch to devastate Han Wuwei, forcing him to abandon close combat and switch to swordsmanship.
• Lin Fan shouted “Fellow Daoist Wait a Moment,” distracting Han Wuwei long enough for his flying sword to slash his waist.
• Lin Fan denied that he had called for a pause and revealed that Fellow Daoist Wait a Moment was the sword's name, which Fan Jianqiang had suggested.
• Han Wuwei grew furious as the flying sword nodded and spun above Lin Fan, showing that it liked its name.

Lin Fan fought Han Wuwei with sword techniques and layered illusions, repeatedly drawing him into imagined victories. The chapter ended with Han Wuwei struggling to break free as Lin Fan used Five-Layer Moon Reading.

• Lin Fan traded insults with Han Wuwei, provoking him into an enraged sword attack.
• Lin Fan used Sword Eleven, Nirvana, and then a darkened sword sea to halt and suppress Han Wuwei’s advance.
• Han Wuwei sent a clone forward with Peaceful Sword Dao, but Lin Fan killed it with One Sword Makes Immortals Kneel.
• Han Wuwei unleashed Open Eternal Peace, and Lin Fan countered with Sword One, trapping him in an illusion of Three Million Sword Immortals in the Sky.
• Han Wuwei broke through successive illusions and believed he had killed Lin Fan, but he realized the apparent victories were still illusions.
• In reality, Lin Fan’s eyes glowed red as he murmured, "Five-Layer Moon Reading."

Lin Fan used layered illusions and his Nine Sealing Demon Forbidden Arts to trap Han Wuwei while the others fought the remaining Immortal King Giants. He helped the Lord of Guixu stabilize his battlefield, but still wondered why the fight was going so smoothly.

• Lin Fan shattered Han Wuwei’s illusions, cut him off from the Three Thousand Continents, and began sealing him, estimating the process would take two incense sticks.
• Long Aojiao offered to use her trump card and borrow everyone’s power, but Shi Qi, Shi Hao, Xiao Ling'er, and Yaya refused and chose to fight with their own abilities.
• Yaya and Xiao Ling'er combined the Heaven Swallowing Demonic Pot, the Great Dao Treasure Bottle, and Xiao Ling'er’s Divine Might to trap the Blue Skirt Woman in a fierce internal battle.
• After learning Han Wuwei was in danger, the Blue Skirt Woman decided the other fighters might be bait and urged her allies to attack their opponents instead of rushing to rescue him.
• Lin Fan gave the Sky Stabilizing Pearl to the Lord of Guixu, who used it to stabilize the chaotic battlefield and gain the advantage against his opponent.
• Lin Fan observed that the battle was going well and wondered why events seemed too easy.

Lin Fan’s side defeated the Dark Forbidden Zone’s Immortal King Giants, sealed Han Wuwei, and cornered the remaining four. He explained that the current Immortal Hall kept the Forbidden Zones from launching Dark Turmoil, then left the four confronting how fortunate their era had been.

• Lin Fan considered how the Forbidden Zones might have used karmic threads and foreign invasions to launch past Dark Turmoils while avoiding powerful enemies.
• Xiao Ling'er, Shi Hao, Long Aojiao, and the Lord of Guixu held off their opponents as Lin Fan sealed Han Wuwei and collected him as a glass bead.
• The Blue Skirt Woman and three other Immortal King Giants tried to flee, but Lin Fan’s formation blocked their escape and drove them back.
• The Blue Skirt Woman offered the group’s possessions and even herself in exchange for mercy, but Lin Fan refused and the Lord of Guixu and Ding Changsheng condemned the Forbidden Zones’ past Turmoils.
• Lin Fan asked how the four had managed to launch Dark Turmoil, then explained that the Immortal Hall now protected the Three Thousand Continents and would intervene against them.
• The Blue Skirt Woman insisted the Immortal Hall might someday decline, and Lin Fan countered that the Forbidden Zones had survived only because they were born in a favorable era.

Lin Fan and his allies defeated the Blue Skirt Woman and the other four Immortal King Giants after she revealed the Dark Forbidden Zone’s supposed trump card was a threat to unite the other forbidden zones. As the group withdrew, Lin Fan noticed the forbidden zone’s black qi gathering again, suggesting the danger had not ended.

• The Blue Skirt Woman condemned Willow Deity and boasted that the Dark Forbidden Zone could summon the other six Forbidden Zones of Life, while Shi Hao revealed the willow branch she had left behind.
• Lin Fan exposed the weakness in the Blue Skirt Woman’s threat by pointing out that the Immortal Hall could defeat the other forbidden zones, leaving her and the other Immortal King Giants humiliated.
• Lin Fan ordered the four Immortal King Giants killed, and his allies surrounded and slew them in less than half a day, severing their karma and collecting their damaged treasures.
• Lin Fan spoke with the Lord of Guixu and Ding Changsheng while arranging battlefield cleanup and reminding them about their installment payments.
• Lin Fan noticed black qi gathering again in the Dark Forbidden Zone despite the Heavenly Dao repairing the devastated area, and he ordered everyone to retreat after Shi Hao also sensed something was wrong.
