Chapter Summaries

After learning the truth about Lin Yuan’s power, Aurora visited him late at night to ask for more pills, hoping to grow strong enough to protect her family and repay him.

• Lin Yuan ordered the fleets and Rocksteady Legion to set out along the route once known as the Death Route.

Lin Yuan ordered the Rocksteady Legion to sacrifice themselves to carve a passage through a deadly space storm, allowing the Human Alliance fleet to follow. As the fleet advanced, it encountered a swarm of Void Locusts that began overwhelming its defenses.

• A massive Void Locust swarm emerged from the storm, and the fleets’ weapons failed to stop its advance.
• The locusts engulfed a Dragon Summer Country escort ship and broke through its shield in less than ten seconds.

As Void Locusts overwhelmed the Allied Fleet, Lin Yuan unleashed a flood of Sword Qi that annihilated the swarm and cleared a safe path through space. The fleet was left with an avenue stretching toward the Eighth Profound Pass.

Lin Yuan cleared a safe path through the Void Locust swarm with a single strike, allowing the Allied Fleet to advance toward the Gate of Heavenly Descent. When the fleet received a desperate message that the pass was under attack by the Abyssal Demonkin and a monarch, Lin Yuan welcomed the coming fight, while Ba'al sensed his arrival.

• Lin Yuan heard the warning, welcomed the chance to fight a monarch, and sensed the Gate of Heavenly Descent.
• Ba'al, one of the nine Abyssal Demonkin monarchs, sensed Lin Yuan's sword aura and looked forward to confronting him.

Lin Yuan ordered the Allied Fleet to charge toward the Gate of Heavenly Descent, where Ba'al’s demons were overwhelming the human fortress. After Ba'al erased the Rocksteady Legion with a single strike, Lin Yuan walked out toward the demon lord on a galaxy of Sword Qi.

• Lin Yuan stepped out of the Long Xiang and walked toward Ba'al along a galaxy of gray-gold Sword Qi.

• Lin Yuan walked across a galaxy of Sword Qi toward Baal’s throne, drawing the attention of the battlefield and the Allied Fleet.
• Baal demanded Lin Yuan’s name, but Lin Yuan silently formed a sword-finger seal and cut a ninety-thousand-li path through the demon army with World-Ending Sword Qi.
• Lin Yuan mocked Baal and commanded the Sword Qi to form a giant hand that struck toward Baal and his Bone Throne.
• Baal expanded to ten thousand zhang and unleashed black demonic flames, colliding with the Sword Qi hand in a devastating clash.
• Qin Pojun ordered the Allied Fleet to retreat, and cracks spread through Baal’s black flames beneath the Sword Qi hand.

Lin Yuan crushed Burning Heaven Demon Lord Baal with a single palm strike, then dismissed Baal’s strength as a warm-up. Baal unleashed his suicidal Abyssal Black Hole, and Lin Yuan answered with a colossal Sword Intent slash.

• Lin Yuan’s gray-gold Sword Qi tore through Baal’s demonic flames and smashed him into his throne, shattering both.

• Lin Yuan enlarged his sword and calmly slashed at the black hole.

Lin Yuan killed Burning Heaven Demon Lord Baal with one sword, destroying the Abyssal Black Hole and turning the battle in the Allied Fleet’s favor. As the fleet attacked the disordered demons and the defenders at the Gate of Heavenly Descent realized they had been saved, a black rune briefly appeared on Baal’s corpse.

• Lin Yuan split the Abyssal Black Hole and cleaved Baal in two with a single sword strike.

• A black rune briefly lit on Baal’s corpse before fading away.

After the Allied Fleet’s victory, Lin Yuan identified the rune on Devil Lord Ba'al’s corpse as a coordinate linked to the Lord of the Ranch and ordered the evidence classified. Aboard the Long Xiang, he corrected Aurora’s swordsmanship and unsettled Agatha when he exposed her concern for her sister.

• Qin Pojun and the experts failed to analyze the rune on Ba'al’s corpse, but Lin Yuan recognized it as a coordinate and ordered the corpse disposed of and the recordings classified.
• Lin Yuan criticized Aurora’s sword techniques and demonstrated how to wield Starfall, Moonlight, and Tianxuan with vastly greater power.
• Agatha entered with the Alliance High Command’s commendation order and found Aurora training with Lin Yuan.
• Lin Yuan teased Agatha about worrying over Aurora, then told her that concern confused her; Agatha left in a fluster, leaving Aurora puzzled.

After the Ninth Xuan Pass, Erosion Canyon, fell to the Abyssal Demonkin and Rotten Poison Clan, Lin Yuan led the Allied Fleet to retake it. Agatha opened a breach with her Holy Light Judgement, but a powerful wave of miasma corroded Lin Yuan’s Sword Qi, leaving the fleet facing an enemy attack that had countered his strike.

• Qin Pojun reported that the Rotten Poison Clan’s Corrosive Bone Miasma had overwhelmed the defenders at Erosion Canyon, and Lin Yuan ordered the fleet to depart.
• At the canyon, Agatha volunteered to lead the assault, and her Holy Light Judgement blasted a breach through the miasma.
• Aurora guided the Glory Federation through the Rotten Poison Clan’s Venom Cannon barrage as the breach began to close.
• A huge wave of dense miasma surged toward the Allied Fleet, and Lin Yuan slashed at it with his Sword Qi.
• The miasma corroded and dissolved Lin Yuan’s Sword Qi, shocking Qin Pojun, Barton, and Vladimir.

Lin Yuan burned away the Rotten Poison Clan’s miasma with Burning Heaven Sword Gangkqi and killed the Poison Mother. After Aurora gave him a protective talisman containing her Essence Blood, he spotted a familiar black rune in the Poison Mother’s core, like the one on Burning Heaven Demon Lord Baal.

• The Poison Mother watched the Allied Fleet’s Sword Qi corrode and boasted that her Bone-Eroding Origin Miasma could defeat the humans.

• Lin Yuan saw a black rune in the Poison Mother’s core that matched the rune on Burning Heaven Demon Lord Baal.

After retaking the Ninth Xuan Pass, the Allied Fleet received a distress call from Soulbreak Cliff, where Agatha’s former adjutant Reno was defending against the Void Raiders. Lin Yuan ordered the fleet to head to the Seventh Xuan Pass to support him.

• Lin Yuan asked for Soulbreak Cliff’s coordinates, and Qin Pojun ordered the Allied Fleet to set course for the Seventh Xuan Pass.

The Allied Fleet encountered the Void Lord Riftspace in the Broken Star Ring, where Aurora protected the fleet with her Astral Orbit Formation. Lin Yuan destroyed Riftspace and absorbed its spatial energy, then healed Aurora as the fleet resumed its journey to Soulbreak Cliff.

• Riftspace ambushed the Allied Fleet, destroyed several frigates, and began crushing the fleet with spatial force after deflecting its cannons.
• Aurora formed the Astral Orbit Formation, shielded the fleet, and bound Riftspace with starlight chains at the cost of her strength.
• Lin Yuan killed Riftspace with a Sword Gangkqi and absorbed the spatial energy, strengthening his Primal Chaos Sword Embryo.
• Lin Yuan healed Aurora with Life Energy and told the Allied Fleet to continue toward Soulbreak Cliff.

The Allied Fleet arrived at Soulbreak Cliff and found its defenders near defeat, so Agatha and Aurora fought to save them while Lin Yuan unleashed overwhelming sword power.

• Agatha received Lin Yuan's permission to sortie, then led the Glory Guard into the Void Raiders and rallied Reno and the surviving defenders.
