• The Sacred Insects fled toward the Sky Devouring Cat, whose aura had grown powerful enough to suggest an imminent breakthrough.

Jiang Liu escaped the enormous body's attacks and used a Divine Skill to destroy its divine soul, then named the skill Soul Slayer.

• Jiang Liu considered the feared building in the white mist and questioned whether it held clues to the missing souls and the truth behind the War of Rules.

• Jiang Liu flew toward the place the Sacred Insect Queen had indicated, believing it was where the Three Rule Lords fought.

• As the Flying Ant Swarm’s defensive pressure faded, Jiang Liu flew past its former barrier toward the mysterious building.
• The remaining flying ants cried out and tried to hold Jiang Liu back as he approached the building.

Jiang Liu approached the mysterious great hall and discovered that it unleashed powerful Rules to control and obstruct him. With his vision, hearing, and Divine Sense sealed, he wondered whether countless warriors of the Realm of Rules were inside.

• Jiang Liu entered the dense white fog, stabilized himself with Nebula Shrunken Earth, and spotted a vast great hall ahead.
• Jiang Liu sensed blood and resentment around the hall, then resisted its Mind Control Rule when his Divine Sea trembled.
• Jiang Liu decided to press on, but the hall attacked him with Gravity and Space Rules, sending him flying backward.
• The hall sealed Jiang Liu's vision with the Light Rule and then blocked his hearing and Divine Sense with the Sound Rule.
• Jiang Liu realized he was effectively blind and deaf, and wondered whether countless warriors of the Realm of Rules were inside the hall.

• Jiang Liu left Bloodfall behind and continued toward the increasingly clear mysterious structure.

Jiang Liu approached a divine hall built from martial artists’ bodies and sensed the resentful spirits sealed within its walls. He suspected the hall predated the War of Rules and wondered whether its master had influenced the Three Rule Lords, but the chapter leaves the bodies’ origin unresolved as he considers whether they belonged to ancient Qi Refiners.

• Jiang Liu sensed powerful resentment around the divine hall and realized that its walls sealed the souls of martial artists.
• Jiang Liu advanced carefully, keeping his mind calm so the hall would not detect him and attack.

• Jiang Liu examined the bodies’ traces of qi and wondered whether they belonged to Qi Refiners from an earlier age.

• Jiang Liu discovered that the hall had cut him off from the outside and that his Divine Sense could not leave, but the traversal icon remained lit, so he prepared to investigate.

Jiang Liu subdued the divine soul that had invaded his Spirit Sea, but discovered a powerful Beast Soul hidden inside it. He began fighting the Beast Soul in his Spirit Sea Space, where the battle remained unresolved.

Jiang Liu used the power of his Spirit Sea Space to fight the Beast Soul and the Qi Refiner’s Divine Soul, then trapped them in separate cages.

• Jiang Liu blocked the wind blades with tiny blades, and the Beast Soul’s aura weakened considerably after the exchange.

• Jiang Liu circulated the Heavenly Evolution Codex to absorb energy and replenish himself as the Beast Soul flickered toward disappearance, then reached toward it with a Spiritual Avatar shaped like a small hand.
