Chapter Summaries

Yun Ming refused to leave Shrek City under threat of a massacre, while he and the other leaders secretly planned to send a force after Lu Jun. More than a month later, Lu Jun’s group met unusually fierce resistance at the Tang Sect branch in Skysea City, where a powerful newcomer charged straight at him.

• Ha Luosa and Chen Xinjie joined the Federation’s blockade, and Ha Luosa threatened to slaughter Shrek City if Yun Ming left.
• Yun Ming held back from attacking, unwilling to risk the lives of Shrek City’s residents, and the Federation and Shrek’s forces settled into a stalemate.
• Zang Xin, Cao Dezhi, and Yun Ming agreed to use Sea God Pavilion’s secret passageways to send a small, reliable force out of the city against Lu Jun.
• More than a month after destroying Tang Sect branches in the east, Lu Jun and his group reached Skysea City and encountered unexpectedly fierce resistance.
• A figure streaked toward the battle like black lightning, targeting Lu Jun.

Lu Jun and Gu Yue Na faced a Three-Word Dou Armor Soul Sage named Yu Xinglie and his Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda support. After Yu Xinglie’s brother Yu Xinghen joined the fight, Lu Jun confronted both men and unleashed a sword skill he had created over the past two years.

• A Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Soul Sage attacked Lu Jun, but Gu Yue Na stopped the lightning and told Lu Jun to target the Tang Sect fighters and their support Soul Master.

• Gu Yue Na turned the ground beneath Yu Xinghen into quicksand, giving Lu Jun the opening to behead him with a sword strike.

Lu Jun and Gu Yue Na defeated the Tang Sect Branch’s strongest fighters in Skysea City and recovered its stored Faith Power. After absorbing it, Lu Jun felt the barrier to the true Spirit Domain Realm loosen and realized he was about to break through.

• Yu Xinglie charged Lu Jun and Gu Yue Na in a desperate bid to avenge his brother, but Xu Xiaoyan immobilized him with Starwheel Chains.

• Lu Jun and Gu Yue Na found the Faith Power untouched in the branch’s secret chamber.
• Lu Jun absorbed the Faith Power and discovered that he was about to break through into the true Spirit Domain Realm.

Lu Jun and his companions paused in Skysea City so he could attempt to reach the Spirit Domain Realm and form a Yin-Yang Complementary Dual Soul Core. As they began cultivating under Federation protection, news of their victories over Tang Sect branches spread across the continent.

With Shrek City still under Federation blockade, Yun Ming sent Shrek Academy’s Inner Courtyard disciples out through a secret teleportation array to capture Lu Jun and Tang Wulin. Yu Guanzhi and Ha Luosa detected the departure but allowed it, confident that the Federation’s plan to destroy Shrek and the Tang Sect was already underway.

• Yun Ming, Ya Li, Zhuo Shi, and other Sea God Pavilion Elders activated a secret teleportation array to send Lan Muzi, Tang Yinmeng, and several dozen Inner Courtyard disciples out of Shrek City.

Gu Yue Na led the team from Skysea City to attack another Tang Sect branch while Lu Jun was away, fearing the sect was preparing a larger plan. Half a year later, Lu Jun completed his Spirit Domain Realm breakthrough and Yin-Yang Complementary Dual Soul Core, leaving Skysea City buried in sudden snow before he learned someone had been waiting for him.

• Gu Yue Na sensed another powerful aura ahead and ordered everyone to stop and stay alert.

The team faced Tang Sect Three-Word Dou Armor Masters on both sides and chose to fight rather than call off the trial. As Tang Fan confronted them, Gu Yue Na revealed that Lu Jun was rushing to their aid, leaving the squad emboldened and Tang Fan confident he could defeat them all.
