Chapter Summaries

Ning Qi fought Sage Ancestor's Avatar inside Peach Blossom Spring Space, where he adapted to the Nine-Word Subduing Devil Mantra and helped the Sage Ancestor escape the battle. Sage Ancestor's Avatar then opened a passage through the Central Domain's realm wall and summoned over a hundred terrifying Exiled Oddities, leaving Ning Qi to face them.

• Sage Ancestor's Avatar told Ning Qi that his divination identified him as the greatest variable in the Spirit Realm War, but Ning Qi denied trusting him and attacked again.
• Sage Ancestor's Avatar unleashed the Nine-Word Subduing Devil Mantra, and Ning Qi turned its Dharma Words into power for his Golden Lotuses and Sword Qi.

• Sage Ancestor's Avatar used his remaining power to pass through the Central Domain's realm wall and open a Spatial Passage.
• Over a hundred Exiled Oddities emerged from the passage, and Mountain and Sea Realm Will's Avatar told Ning Qi that he would have to deal with them.

Ning Qi and Zhao Yujun fought the Twisted Creatures summoned by Sage Ancestor’s Avatar, learning that they came from strange regions of the Boundary Sea and were difficult to destroy. After Ning Qi’s sword attack split them apart, they re-formed as ten much stronger monsters whose shriek stunned the Mountain and Sea Realm fighters.

• Feng Baihua told Ning Qi that her bees had encountered similar monsters in twisted, vortex-like regions of the Boundary Sea, while the black flood dragon recalled that they had appeared during the ancient upheaval that created the Boundary Sea.
• Ning Qi asked Zhao Yujun to help him face the monsters, and she joined him as they defended the Mountain and Sea Realm cultivators.
• The monsters attached themselves to Zhao Yujun’s White Bone Sword, but Ning Qi used Dao Fire to cleanse it and then cut the attackers apart with his Great Dao Sword Condensation Supernatural Power.
• The monsters’ remains re-formed into ten creatures more than twenty times stronger, and their supernatural shriek froze the Mountain and Sea Realm fighters while Vast Origin Realm cultivators resisted it with a Dharma Sound.

Ning Qi used a newly created sword-lotus divine ability to destroy the ten Twisted Monsters, but they merged into a stronger creature that threatened the battlefield. As the Mountain and Sea Realm Will and Vast Origin Realm Will fought over its restraint, the monster broke past Ning Qi and Zhao Yujun and charged toward the Mountain and Sea Realm Cultivators.

• The Vast Origin Realm Will's Avatar broke the restraints, and the creature absorbed his will, grew stronger, and charged toward the Mountain and Sea Realm Cultivators.

Ning Qi used the Evil Qi and Golden Key to destroy the Twisted Monsters threatening the Mountain and Sea Realm cultivators, but the Vast Origin Realm summoned another Sage Ancestor avatar. In the Mountain and Sea Realm, the Mountain Ancestor refused to send aid, choosing to sacrifice his cultivators to improve his chances of reaching supreme power.

• The Twisted Monsters killed hundreds of Mountain and Sea Realm cultivators until the Sword Ancestor’s Evil Qi revealed their weakness and Ning Qi controlled a wisp of it with the Golden Key.

• The Mountain and Sea Realm Will condemned the Mountain Ancestor’s willingness to sacrifice his followers, and the Mountain Ancestor dismissed the criticism as a woman’s benevolence.

The Mountain and Sea Realm Will told Sea Ancestor that Ning Qi had defeated the Twisted Monster, and she decided to send an avatar to protect her followers despite her rivalry with Mountain Ancestor. In the War Domain, Sage Ancestor's Avatar returned to face Ning Qi, and Sea Ancestor began to descend as the two sides prepared for another confrontation.

• Mountain Ancestor reaffirmed that he would use anyone as a stepping stone to gain the strongest power.

Sea Ancestor drew Ning Qi into Peach Blossom Spring Space and fought Sage Ancestor with powers that transformed the space into a vast ocean.

Ning Qi used World Sea Power against the Sage Ancestor's Avatar while Sea Ancestor tested his abilities and revealed her ambition to rule the World Sea. As the Peach Blossom Spring Space broke apart, the Sage Ancestor's ancient bronze fragment absorbed Sea Ancestor's attack, and he urged them to return their attention to the crisis outside.

Sage Ancestor's Avatar withdrew the Vast Origin Realm cultivators from the Central Domain, leaving the Old Ancestors and Ning Qi to decide the battle. After Ning Qi shattered the Central Domain's final Realm Wall, the War Domain transformed and his cultivation surged to the perfected Dao Integration Realm; the chapter leaves him sensing that the Old Ancestors' true bodies may soon descend.

• Ning Qi saw the final barriers leading to the two Spirit Realms appear to open and wondered whether the Old Ancestors' true bodies were about to arrive.

Ning Qi took stock of his gains as the War Domain stabilized, then watched Sage Ancestor and Sea Ancestor arrive and begin their battle. Meanwhile, Mountain Ancestor stayed away from the conflict, intending to harvest its power to advance his cultivation.

• Ning Qi reviewed his rise to Late Dao Integration Realm, the spoils and rewards he had gained, and his hidden preparations to merge the War Domain into the True Martial World.

Ning Qi created an incarnation and sent it beyond the True Martial World's Realm Wall to explore the World Sea, discovering that his Reincarnated Body's World Sea Power let him withstand its chaotic forces. The incarnation encountered a huge Unicorn Beast near the True Martial World, and Ning Qi prepared to face the intruder.

• World Lord Ning Qi studied the War Domain and planned to establish a connection between the True Martial World and the Vast Origin Realm so he could enter both realms freely.
• Ning Qi used his seven-colored Heart's Blood and World Power to create an expendable incarnation, naming it No.2.
• No.2 crossed the True Martial World's Realm Wall and found the World Sea's chaotic conditions nearly drove him mad.
• No.2 used World Sea Power from Ning Qi's Reincarnated Body to adapt to the World Sea and realized it replenished itself rather than being consumed.
• A huge Unicorn Beast appeared near the True Martial World's outer wall and roared at Ning Qi.

Ning Qi subdued a Black Haired Donkey outside the True Martial World and rode it through the nearby Boundary Sea while learning about the region and the donkey’s origins. The donkey warned that killing Twisted Monsters could leave a curse, but it saw no sign that Ning Qi had been cursed as they approached the Boundary Sea’s black water.

• A Black Haired Donkey attacked Ning Qi, but he subdued it and forced it to carry him along the True Martial World’s outer wall.
• Ning Qi learned that the donkey’s ancestors came from a world beyond the three nearby Spirit Realms and that it hoped he could take it back inside a world.
• The Black Haired Donkey described the nearby territories of a Flower Python, a Mantis, and an Evil Vermillion Bird, explaining that Boundary Sea energy could corrupt ferocious beasts.
• The donkey warned that surviving Twisted Monsters could mark someone and that killing them could leave a curse that eventually turned its victims into Twisted Monsters.
• Ning Qi joked that he might have killed over a hundred Twisted Monsters, frightening the donkey, which then watched for signs of a curse as they neared the Boundary Sea’s black water.

Ning Qi and Black Haired Donkey entered the Vast Origin Realm, where Ning Qi considered recruiting the Sage Ancestor and Sea Ancestor to help govern his growing realm. As Ning Qi headed for the Vast Origin Immortal Sect, his Reincarnated Body watched the two ancestors’ battle in the War Domain while the Mountain Ancestor’s followers struggled under its effects.

• Ning Qi and Black Haired Donkey crossed the Vast Origin Realm’s Realm Wall, and Ning Qi resolved to consider subduing the Sage Ancestor and Sea Ancestor as future aides.
• Ning Qi warned Black Haired Donkey to hide its aura and had it carry him through the realm as cultivators recounted Ning Qi’s feats in the War Domain.
• The cultivators described Ning Qi’s victories and his battle with the Sage Ancestor’s Avatar, while Black Haired Donkey wondered whether the Ning Qi on its back was the same person.

• Ning Qi’s protection kept the Two Domain Grand Army steady, while Gong Tiandao hesitated to ask him to help the Mountain Ancestor’s suffering followers.

Ning Qi watched the Sage Ancestor and Sea Ancestor clash with their Great Daos, learning from their techniques as the battle intensified. Sea Ancestor countered the Sage Ancestor’s light with water, clouds, and rain, but the Sage Ancestor then used an ancient painting that erased her attack—and began to blur from everyone’s memory.

• Gong Tiandao watched Ning Qi deferentially while Ning Qi focused on the battle between the Sage Ancestor and Sea Ancestor.
• The Sage Ancestor’s light Divine Script Array clashed with Sea Ancestor’s Dao Principle Ocean, and Sea Ancestor used clouds and rain to extinguish it.
• Ning Qi absorbed insights from both Ancestors’ Great Daos as Sea Ancestor condensed her water principles into a droplet and sent it toward the Sage Ancestor.
• The Sage Ancestor unfurled a tattered ancient scroll, causing Sea Ancestor’s droplet to vanish and Ning Qi’s memory of the scroll to blur.
• The Sage Ancestor identified the scroll as the Ancient Dao Sacred Diagram and said Sea Ancestor would soon forget it.

Ning Qi preserved the fading words “Ancient Dao Sacred Diagram” on the Fragmented Leaf Treasure, then watched Mountain Ancestor enter the War Domain and confront Sage Ancestor. As the two prepared to fight, Sage Ancestor tried to recruit Ning Qi, who revealed he had already learned Sage Ancestor’s Light Character Divine Script Array.

Mountain Ancestor endured Sage Ancestor’s attacks and then summoned the Buzhou Mountain inheritance’s divine mountain, threatening to overwhelm the battlefield.

• Mountain Ancestor confronted Sage Ancestor, who transformed into a muscular middle-aged form and met him in close combat.
• Sage Ancestor used “Morning Hearing, Evening Death” to strike Mountain Ancestor with attacks infused with the Time Rule, but Mountain Ancestor recovered and attacked again.
• Mountain Ancestor invoked “Thousand Mountains Ten Thousand Peaks,” while Sage Ancestor answered with a vast Dharma Appearance, and their clashes repeatedly shattered the War Domain.
• Sage Ancestor’s Dharma Appearance sent Mountain Ancestor flying and knocked the mountain shadows from his body, but Mountain Ancestor laughed and prepared another technique.
• Mountain Ancestor used “Zhou Mountain Divine Descent” to assemble the scattered peaks into an enormous divine mountain that filled a third of the War Domain.

Mountain Ancestor summoned a vast Buzhou Mountain Shadow in the War Domain, revealing power and Immortal Dao aura beyond Sea Ancestor and Sage Ancestor’s expectations. As Mountain Ancestor and Sage Ancestor fought, the mountain shadow drew power from both realms, and Mountain Ancestor began to overpower his opponent.

• Mountain Ancestor’s Buzhou Mountain Shadow filled the War Domain and blocked the route back to the Mountain and Sea Realm, forcing Ning Qi, Zhao Yujun, and Gong Tiandao to retreat toward the Vast Origin Realm.
• Sage Ancestor urged Sea Ancestor to join him against Mountain Ancestor, warning that she might lose her chance to defeat Mountain Ancestor if the Vast Origin Realm fell, and Sea Ancestor struggled with the choice.
• Mountain Ancestor charged Sage Ancestor, whose Thus Time Flows incantation failed to affect him; their clash erased a stretch of space that the Two Realm Wills could not repair.
• Mountain Ancestor passed through the void they had created, and the Buzhou Mountain Shadow restored it while drawing power from both Realm Wills, a danger Ning Qi noticed as his hidden Array Inscriptions remained in place.
• Mountain Ancestor and Sage Ancestor clashed again, with Mountain Ancestor suppressing Sage Ancestor and striking with Extreme Dao Blast Kill.

Sage Ancestor turned the battle around by transforming into a Thousand-Character Divine Script that trapped and assailed Mountain Ancestor inside a Divine Script Pagoda. Mountain Ancestor broke free with “Immortal Slaying,” leaving both Ancestors’ struggle unresolved.

• Mountain Ancestor used the Divine Mountain Shadow to suppress Sage Ancestor, who confirmed it was a projection of the legendary Buzhou Mountain.
• Sage Ancestor dispersed his body to escape the pressure, then transformed into a thousand divine characters and trapped Mountain Ancestor in the Thousand-Character Prison Suppression.

• Mountain Ancestor shouted “Immortal Slaying,” shattered the divine scripts, and burst out of the collapsing Divine Script Pagoda, blood-eyed and exhausted.
