Chapter Summary: Rainbow Realm Sea

• The Great Yin-Yang Sword Realm expanded aggressively after the calamity, taking numerous realms from weakened Immortal Orders. Its actions created lasting resentment and led four newly risen Immortal Orders to besiege it while older allies refused to help.
• The Seven-Kill Immortal Palace has fought the Great Yin-Yang Sword Realm over the Radiant Flow Domain for thousands of years. Although the Seven-Kill Daoist Heir once captured the Radiant Flow Domain, the Lunar-Solar Sword Heir reclaimed it.
• The current battle centers on the peak eighth-grade spirit vein in the Rainbow Realm Sea. The Seven-Kill forces seek to destroy the defensive formation and gradually isolate the realm by corrupting its spirit veins and cutting off spiritual support.

• Yang Bone Celestial, a powerhouse beyond the peak Celestial realm, repeatedly destroys Black-Fiend Celestial’s attacks and has defended the formation for nearly ten thousand years.
