Chapter Summaries

Lin Chuan feigned exhaustion to pressure the others into revealing their abilities while he and Qin Lang watched Lin An's group for hidden trump cards. Lin An recognized the act and chose to keep fighting without revealing anything new, leaving Lin Chuan convinced that his brother was pretending too.

• Vermilion Bird realized Lin Chuan was acting to push the other fighters into using their immortal artifacts and gave him a thumbs-up.
• Lin An refused to use an immortal artifact and told the Four Envoys of Wind, Flower, Snow, and Moon that Lin Chuan was pretending.
• Lin An privately decided he would intervene if Lin Chuan truly could not hold on, because Lin Chuan could only die by his hand, not Crown Prince Hai's.
• Lin Chuan and Qin Lang observed Lin An and the Four Envoys fighting but saw no new abilities or hidden trump cards.
• Lin Chuan called Lin An an actor and continued watching him suspiciously while muttering complaints.

Lin An defeated the final guardian after Lin Chuan’s Suffocation Domain prevented him from drawing on ambient spiritual energy. As the Three Thousand Soul-Devouring Formation neared collapse, Crown Prince Hai rushed to refine the Profound Immortal skeleton, forcing Lin Chuan and Lin An to drop their act.

• Lin An volunteered to fight the final guardian while Lin Chuan maintained the Suffocation Domain outside the formation.
• Lin Chuan used the Tenseigan to realize the guardian could draw on ambient spiritual energy, but the domain had neutralized that ability.
• The guardian admitted that Lin Chuan’s domain countered him, and Lin An revealed he had already understood the matchup.
• Lin An slapped the guardian to death as fewer than a thousand assassins remained in the failing formation.
• Crown Prince Hai rushed toward the Profound Immortal skeleton to refine it before the formation broke, and Lin Chuan and Lin An simultaneously revealed their full readiness.

• Lin An and Lin Chuan's acting stunned their allies, but Crown Prince Hai's growing power drew everyone's attention back to the Profound Immortal's skeleton.
• Lin Chuan entered the Three Thousand Soul-Devouring Formation with Susanoo and led the Children of Immortal Bones toward Crown Prince Hai while the others attacked [Heavenly Court] assassins.
• The group reached the formation's depths, where hidden assassins and a golden light screen blocked their path.
• Lin Chuan ordered some people to stay behind and handle the assassins, but no one volunteered because they wanted a chance at the treasures by the skeleton.
• Hun volunteered to stay, explained that Crown Prince Hai's Supreme One Gold screen could be crossed by only a few people, and flew toward a [Heavenly Court] assassin.

Lin Chuan and the others reached Crown Prince Hai’s golden light barrier, but their attacks failed because it could only be challenged by power on the Supreme One Scripture’s level. Lin Chuan, Mu Li, and Lin An then revealed extraordinary auras that matched or approached the barrier’s power, leaving their path forward uncertain.

• Mars, Lin Chen, and Shangguan Dieche chose to stay behind, while Shangguan Dieche returned the Primordial Chaos Pearl to Lin Chuan and Lu Mu hesitated to relinquish the Jade Ruyi.

• Lin An shouted "Break!" and shattered the screen, passing through as it closed behind him.

• Crown Prince Hai used the Profound Immortal’s remains to block their attack, revealed that he could control them, and shattered three blood-red jade pendants.

• The three fingers joined into one enormous golden hand, which was missing its thumb and index finger.

Crown Prince Hai summoned a golden palm and divined a future in which Lin Chuan, Lin An, and Mu Li died, while Xiao Heng secretly used the Yin-Yang Dao to conceal their true future. As the three prepared to fight back, Lin Chuan summoned the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path.

• Crown Prince Hai formed a golden palm from a severed hand and threatened Lin Chuan, Lin An, and Mu Li.

• Lin Chuan and the [Akatsuki] envoys poured tailed beast chakra and immortal chakra into the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, while Mu Li, Lin An, and Lin Chuan brought their combat power close to the Great Ascension stage.
• Crown Prince Hai’s golden hand descended, targeting each of the three with fused spell, illusion, and physical attacks.
• Lin An used the Law-Breaking Eye and Illusion-Breaking Eye, while Mu Li used the Body-Breaking Eye, to weaken the golden fingers’ attacks.
• Mu Li formed the Buddha Pagoda, Lin An launched Heaven-Grade Kill, and Lin Chuan’s Demonic Statue of the Outer Path fired a Tailed Beast Ball and lashed the golden hand with its tails.
• The three attacks struck the golden fingers simultaneously, unleashing immense spiritual-energy waves and violently shaking the Profound Immortal Tomb.

Lin Chuan, Mu Li, and Lin An destroyed the golden hand’s remaining fingers and severed its palm, but Crown Prince Hai then sent two clones to attack them. With Mu Li and Lin An buying time, Lin Chuan summoned the Clear Void Seven Hearts Lamp, whose power began flowing into his dantian.

• Mu Li prepared to open the Gate of Death as Lin Chuan roared and awakened his Six-Tomoe Rinnegan.

Lin Chuan used his newly awakened Rinnegan to unleash Limbo: Border Jail, summoning unseen shadows while appearing to flee with Mu Li and Lin An. The shadows struck Crown Prince Hai with a jointly formed Ultra-Big Ball Rasenshuriken, leaving the attack’s outcome unresolved.

• Lin Chuan used Shinra Tensei to repel Crown Prince Hai’s two clones, then pulled the wounded Lin An and Mu Li behind him with Universal Pull.

• Crown Prince Hai recognized that Santai had interfered with his deductions and saw that his earlier chance to act had passed.
• Crown Prince Hai relied on the Mystic Immortal light screen to protect him while he hurried to refine the skeleton.

• Lin Chuan weighed his options, told Crown Prince Hai that he had lost, and drew a translucent sword from the Origin Space.

• Lin Chuan slashed through the curtain of law and pierced Crown Prince Hai, who asked how the Profound Immortal had died.

After Lin Chuan killed Crown Prince Hai with Moonlit Beauty, the Profound Immortal skeleton turned its killing intent toward him because the sword had once killed the Profound Immortal.
