Chapter Summary: “Chaos”

Key Plot Points and Events

• The Star Suppression Seal becomes the focus of a massive scramble as tens of thousands of King-level Immortals rush toward it. The surrounding bombardment is powerful enough to destroy a Universe Venerable, forcing the earliest arrivals to endure and block attacks from behind.
• More than ten thousand Alien Race Immortals land on the seal and attempt to imprint their Soul Seals. Because a supreme treasure can have only one master and the attempts interfere with one another, everyone fails.
• Luo Feng’s team arrives as the second wave. Luo Feng also fails to imprint the seal and realizes that the immense number of competing Immortals makes immediate subjugation impossible.
• As the Star Suppression Seal descends, distant teams continue launching combined attacks. The Immortals on its surface largely block the bombardment, but the impacts accelerate the seal’s fall.
• Luo Feng notices that King Talong, King Xuanmu, Seven Sword King, and other powerful figures remain at a distance rather than joining the initial rush. Old Li stands alone above them, seemingly calm and expectant.
• Luo Feng recalls Old Li’s earlier reference to “fireworks” in the Star Tower and suspects that Old Li may be waiting for the gathered Immortals to destroy one another. He also realizes that Old Li is likely concealing far greater strength than he has shown.
• When the Star Suppression Seal plunges downward, a previously damaged barrier beneath it collapses completely. The barrier transforms into violently destructive energy, making the area below extremely dangerous. Immortals caught in the energy are instantly annihilated, regardless of their strength.
• The deaths leave behind weapons, World Rings, and other treasures. Despite the danger, surviving Immortals rush to collect these relics, creating further disorder.
• The strongest factions remain composed, revealing that obtaining the Star Suppression Seal is not their only goal.
• King Mingyun of the Machine Race identifies Seven Sword King as the primary target of the operation. The Machine Race considers him one of the most dangerous human geniuses currently present and hopes to kill him and seize his Seven Swords, Void Grasp, and other treasures.
• King Mingyun orders his forces to activate the Decomposition Tower and launch an attack on Seven Sword King.

• Old Li: Appears detached from the treasure hunt, suggesting that he understands or anticipates a larger disaster. His calm position above the battlefield implies that he may be preparing a devastating countermeasure.
• Seven Sword King: Remains calm and composed while surrounded by danger. His status as a major human talent and the possessor of powerful treasures makes him the focus of the Machine Race’s assassination plan.
• King Mingyun: Reveals himself as a calculating strategist. He treats the Star Suppression Seal as secondary and prioritizes eliminating Seven Sword King for both tactical and material gains.

Significant Themes

• Greed and chaos: The lure of the supreme treasure drives countless Immortals into an increasingly deadly situation, where many die not from the main conflict but from competing for fallen treasures.
• The danger of overconfidence: The Immortals assume that reaching the seal is enough to win, but the failed Soul Seal imprints and collapsing energy show that possession is far more difficult than arrival.
• Hidden strength and manipulation: Old Li’s behavior suggests that the visible contest may be only the beginning of a larger scheme, emphasizing that the most dangerous figures are not always the most active.
• Survival amid opportunity: Even lethal disasters create opportunities, as surviving fighters risk death to collect the treasures left by fallen enemies.
• Strategic priorities: The chapter contrasts the crowd’s fixation on the Star Suppression Seal with the Machine Race’s more focused objective of assassinating Seven Sword King.

• Luo Feng and Old Li: Luo Feng observes Old Li from afar and interprets his unusual calmness, developing both suspicion and respect for his hidden power. He resolves to confront him later for an explanation.
• The Immortal teams and the Star Suppression Seal: Thousands of Immortals compete to imprint their Soul Seals, but their simultaneous attempts prevent any individual from gaining control.
• The gathered Immortals and the descending seal: Those on the seal block attacks from distant teams, while the resulting bombardment drives the seal toward the destructive energy below.
