Summary of the Chapter

1. Key Plot Points and Events

• The story rewinds to just after Fan Xuehui's assassination attempt on Su Yuan fails, resulting in Fan Xuehui's death.
• On Blood Cliff Star, the Star Lord senses Fan Xuehui's death when a life-linked palace collapses and turns to dust. He realizes a powerful force from the Divine Abyss Sacred Land must have killed him.
• The Star Lord attempts to relocate Blood Cliff Star to flee, but an Immortal Saint (likely from the Divine Abyss Sacred Land) intervenes, immobilizing him with overwhelming power and ordering him to stay.
• The Star Lord understands the Immortal Saint is deliberately preserving him and Blood Cliff Star as future "stepping stones" for Su Yuan's revenge. He returns, confines all residents, and awaits eventual doom.
• Back in the present, Xu Zhan safely stores the Nine-Turn World Lotus (a treasure given to heal his injuries). Chen Mutian destroys Fan Xuehui's corpse and explains the assassin's origins.
• Chen Mutian reveals Blood Cliff Star is an assassin hub, and Fan Xuehui was its Deputy Star Lord, sent to assassinate Su Yuan.

2. Character Developments

• Su Yuan: Shows emotional relief when Xu Zhan accepts the Nine-Turn World Lotus, but then displays suppressed killing intent when inquiring about Blood Cliff Star—indicating a shift toward vengeance.
• Star Lord of Blood Cliff: Transitions from confident arrogance to abject despair and regret after realizing an Immortal Saint protects Su Yuan. He obeys the Immortal Saint and resigns himself, with the certainty that he and his people are doomed.
• Xu Zhan: Demonstrates caution and gratitude; his injuries are severe enough that only the Nine-Turn World Lotus can fully heal him (Chen Mutian's power can only partially treat him).
• Chen Mutian (Heavenly Venerable): Acts as the protector and enforcer—kills Fan Xuehui, immobilizes the Star Lord, and explains the situation. He orchestrates Su Yuan's future revenge rather than settling everything himself.

3. Significant Themes

• The Might of an Immortal Saint: A single sentence from an Immortal Saint determines the fate of an entire planet—showing absolute, transcendent power and the futility of resistance.
• Inevitable Revenge / Karmic Consequences: The Star Lord is deliberately spared, not out of mercy, but to serve as a future target for Su Yuan's growth and revenge. Blood Cliff Star's fate is sealed.
• Assassin Culture and Vulnerability: Even formidable assassins like Fan Xuehui can be destroyed instantly if the wrong target is chosen; no amount of concealment or speed matters against absolute power.
• Healing and Recovery: Some injuries require specific heavenly treasures (like the Nine-Turn World Lotus), emphasizing that power alone cannot reverse all damage and that there are limits to even a Heavenly Venerable's abilities.

4. Character Interactions

• Star Lord ↔ Immortal Saint (implied): The Immortal Saint's voice and force lock the Star Lord down, then release him with a command to return. The Star Lord kneels and submits, understanding the hidden meaning.
• Su Yuan ↔ Xu Zhan: Warm, respectful gratitude; Su Yuan smiles honestly as Xu Zhan accepts the Nine-Turn World Lotus, showing mutual goodwill and a relief of burden.
• Su Yuan ↔ Chen Mutian: Su Yuan respectfully asks for information on Blood Cliff Star; Chen Mutian provides it, striking a protective yet instructive tone, and demonstrates his power by obliterating Fan Xuehui's corpse.

After learning that Blood Cliff Star had been hired to assassinate him, Su Yuan decided to confront the Netherheart Sword Alliance on Chigu Star. Chen Mutian agreed to accompany him, and the three arrived on the planet by teleportation.

• Chen Mutian, Su Yuan, and Xu Zhan teleported to Chigu Star and appeared in a dense forest.

Chen Mutian brought Su Yuan and Xu Zhan to the Netherheart Sword Alliance and confronted its leaders over the attempt to assassinate Su Yuan. He killed Sword Master Yu Si, leaving Fang Zilu, Wang Ganfeng, and the other experts terrified.

• Chen Mutian turned on Fang Zilu after killing Yu Si, then ordered him to fight Su Yuan to determine the Netherheart Sword Alliance’s fate.
• Fang Zilu accepted the challenge, confident that his peak-tier world realm cultivation would overcome Su Yuan’s apparent weakness.
• Chen Mutian privately promised Su Yuan a hundred million sacred land contribution points if he won, and Su Yuan vowed to defeat Fang Zilu.
• Chen Mutian moved the group to an enormous platform, seated Xu Zhan, and allowed the duel to begin.
• Fang Zilu and Su Yuan faced each other and exchanged formal words before the battle.

Su Yuan faced Fang Zilu, the Netherheart Sword Alliance’s peak-tier world realm Sword Emperor, and unleashed his strongest techniques, but Fang Zilu shattered both attacks with ease. The battle continued as Su Yuan prepared to reveal that he could release up to twenty-five million streaks of Crimson Chant Light.

• Xu Zhan worried about Su Yuan’s battle with Fang Zilu, while Wang Ganfeng and the others expected Su Yuan to lose.
• Su Yuan activated his enhancement methods, raised his cultivation to the initial stage of the immortal realm, and attacked Fang Zilu with five million streaks of Crimson Chant Light.

• Su Yuan unleashed ten million streaks of Crimson Chant Light, but Fang Zilu used the Black Radiance Slash and world power to destroy them.
• Su Yuan recognized the threat of Fang Zilu’s world power and prepared to use up to twenty-five million streaks of Crimson Chant Light.

Su Yuan used the True Intent Sword to neutralize Fang Zilu’s world power and gradually turned their battle in his favor. After striking Fang Zilu down with a sword slash and twenty million rays of Crimson Chant Light, Su Yuan left him with no hope of victory.

• Su Yuan’s Crimson Chant Light killed Fang Zilu, and Wang Ganfeng and the others mourned the Swordmaster’s death.

• Su Yuan explained that he wanted Mentor Li and the other Li Family descendants to witness the alliance’s destruction, then Chen Mutian took him and Xu Zhan back to Radiant Vault Star.

After returning to the Divine Abyss Sacred Land, Su Yuan learned that the Sacred Heart Immortal Realm would open in fifteen days and that its results would matter for the upcoming Planet Ranking Battle.

Ye Yuandao feels regret, believing Su Yuan lacked enough time to grow, while stronger observers like Su Jingnian, Xiao Tianyi, and Chen Mutian recognize more in Su Yuan.

• Third-round advancement rewards are announced: 60 million contribution points, 2 Heavenly Spring World Fruits, and a Divine True World-Severing Flower.

• Su Yuan, relying on his Undying Power, decides the flower is essentially a realm-boosting resource rather than a healing item.

2. Character Developments

• Su Yuan: Remains calm and wary; shows rapid growth from Astral King to Divine Communion Peak; recognized as a top-tier threat despite his realm; views the Divine True World-Severing Flower mainly as a way to break through.
• Chen Shenxiao: Acts as Su Yuan’s ally and guide; knowledgeable about rare treasures; recommends the flower for realm advancement rather than healing.

Key Plot Points

• The second round of the Sacred Heart Immortal Realm selection begins. Sixteen participants advanced, including Su Yuan, Chen Shenxiao, and Zuo Yan.
• Xiao Tianyi explains the rules: each participant faces a series of enormous light-purple screens with increasing thickness and defense. When a screen is attacked, it generates a Sacred Heart Violet Armament, which can merge with the screen and double its defense.
• Attackers must strike quickly and powerfully enough to break a screen before the armament appears; otherwise, the screen becomes much harder to destroy.
• Only eight participants will advance from this round.
• Chen Shenxiao notes that none of the sixteen are at World Realm Seventh Break yet—they are all High Tier or below—and that a Divine True World-Severing Flower could push many to Peak Tier.
• Su Yuan considers the Divine True World-Severing Flower unnecessary for himself because his Undying Power provides nine daily restorations, making it superior in his eyes.
• During the rest period, Xiao Tianyi answers a participant’s question: a screen only generates a Sacred Heart Violet Armament when actually attacked, and unattacked screens will not summon one.
• Once the round begins, Su Yuan uses his Nine Nether Divine Trace Step and Crimson Chant Light, releasing a hundred million light streaks. The attack instantly shatters the first screen and continues surging toward the second screen.

Character Developments

• Su Yuan: Demonstrates calm confidence and strategic efficiency. He treats the earlier Divine True World-Severing Flower as optional, relying on his own Undying Power. In the second round, he executes a devastating opening attack, showing both speed and overwhelming force.
• Chen Shenxiao: Acts as Su Yuan’s ally and commentator, analyzing the participants’ realm levels and the value of the flower. His interaction reinforces their partnership.
• Xiao Tianyi: Acts as the impartial examiner, explaining rules clearly and managing the trial. His presence underscores the high stakes of the competition.
• Ye Yuandao and other Venerables: Observe from the sidelines, noting that the round tests both speed and strength, and expressing interest in how Source Saint (Su Yuan) and Sky Saint (Chen Shenxiao) perform.

Significant Themes

• Speed vs. Power: The trial demands both—slow attacks are punished by enhanced defenses, while weak attacks cannot break the screens at all.
• Strategic Use of Resources: Su Yuan’s internal reasoning contrasts external life-saving treasures with personal restoration abilities, emphasizing self-reliance.
• Competition and Advancement: The ruthless elimination from sixteen to eight highlights the intense, hierarchical nature of the cultivation world.
• Recognition of Familiarity: Su Yuan and Chen Shenxiao both recall a similar test in the Divine Mystic Battle Realm, hinting at past experience and growth.

Character Interactions

• Su Yuan and Chen Shenxiao exchange private voice transmissions, discussing the Divine True World-Severing Flower, the other participants’ weaknesses, and their shared goal of advancing.
• A World Realm participant asks Xiao Tianyi a clarifying question about how Sacred Heart Violet Armaments are generated, and Xiao Tianyi explains the mechanics.
• After Su Yuan’s explosive start, the surrounding Venerables (Chen Mutian, Su Jingnian, Ye Yuandao, etc.) silently evaluate the young Saints’ potential and performance.
