• The Second Palace Master unleashes powerful sword techniques, including Five Qi Return to Origin and Ten Thousand Swords Return to Origin, forcing Mu Qing onto the defensive despite Mu Qing’s stellar Origin Force and the power of the Myriad Domains Star Chart.
• The Second Palace Master’s sword vortex spreads across Heavenly Feather Palace, killing disciples indiscriminately, including members of his own faction and even a King-Level elder.
• Rather than drawing on spiritual energy, he strengthens his sword intent by absorbing the Blood Qi of those he kills, transforming his originally immortal-like sword intent into a blood-soaked killing force.
• Mu Qing recognizes the vast difference between a top-tier King-Level expert and a half-step mighty expert, particularly because the Second Palace Master’s attacks contain divine power.

His body becomes the vessel for Elder Tu’s descent, making him appear vastly more dangerous and emotionally detached.

• Inheritance and hidden potential: Mu Qing’s current strength is impressive, but the chapter emphasizes that his true potential lies in the divine abilities and secret techniques he has not yet mastered.
• Loss of identity: Elder Tu’s control makes Mu Qing appear like an entirely different person, raising concerns about the cost of borrowing overwhelming power and about whether Mu Qing may be consumed by the Asura path.

• The Second Palace Master’s indiscriminate attack provokes outrage from Shui Yuexi and the Grand Elder, while Hong Xiu prevents them from intervening.

• Mu Qing, aided by Elder Tu’s consciousness and power, confronts the Second Palace Master. Elder Tu temporarily takes control of Mu Qing’s body and unleashes the Godslaying Halberd, an Asura Clan technique designed to kill Divine Rank beings.
• The halberd shatters the Second Palace Master’s Blood Spirit weapon, the Silver Flood Dragon Spirit Sword, severely weakening him and destabilizing his half-step Great Power realm.
• Elder Tu teaches Mu Qing how to activate the Asura power left inside his body through the Asura Scripture. Although Mu Qing’s technique is clumsy compared with Elder Tu’s, the Godslaying Halberd remains overwhelmingly powerful.
• Mu Qing repeatedly destroys the Second Palace Master’s sword techniques and Yin-Yang Lightning Tribulation power. He ultimately throws the halberd, impaling the Second Palace Master and draining his life force.
• After the victory, the halberd becomes a dormant seed of slaughter within Mu Qing. It can eventually develop into a permanent divine ability if Mu Qing cultivates the Asura Scripture and accumulates enough killing intent.
• The elders of Heavenly Feather Palace are stunned that Mu Qing has won. The First Palace Master’s faction gains control of the situation.
• Several elders ask Shui Yuexi to spare members of the Second Palace Master’s faction who had not actively participated in the massacre. She agrees to distinguish between those who merely followed the faction and those who directly slaughtered Heavenly Feather Palace disciples.

• Legacy and inheritance: Elder Tu passes on Asura power and the foundation of the Godslaying Halberd, creating a long-term path for Mu Qing’s growth.
• The cost of killing: The halberd’s strength depends on accumulated killing intent, tying power directly to bloodshed and raising questions about the dangerous nature of the Asura inheritance.
• Factional loyalty and political survival: Many elders had not fully committed to the Second Palace Master, and their allegiance changes once his defeat becomes certain.
• Justice versus indiscriminate punishment: Shui Yuexi distinguishes between genuine perpetrators and those who remained passive, showing that the victorious faction intends to punish active rebels rather than condemn everyone equally.
