At the Blood Pool’s sluice gate, Chen Changqing confronted the forces guarding the way while Zhong Cheng worked to open the mechanism.

• Chen Changqing used five avatars to break a gap in the Ten Directions Yama defensive line and wounded Nangong Wudi with the Heaven-Slaying Sword Drawing Technique before escaping into Senluo Deathland with Zhong Cheng.

Chen Changqing and his five Avatars fought back, but after Ming Jiutian unleashed a Seven-Tribulation killing move, Chen stood battered as the chapter ended with him preparing to fuse his Avatars and ascend to Tribulation Immortal.

• Ming Jiutian advanced to the Quasi-Seven-Tribulation Ghost Emperor realm and vowed to kill Chen Changqing and take the girl hidden in his storage Immortal Artifact.
