Hostile Sovereigns gathered in the Starry Sky, Shang Cheng plotted against him, and Lord Zhiyuan arrived without entering the continent, leaving his intentions uncertain.

• A powerful bolt of lightning formed and hurtled toward Mu Ziqing as Qin Ming, Qin Yue, and the others watched anxiously.

Mu Ziqing endured the Heavenly Thunder Tribulation with powerful sword arts, while Qin Hao reflected on the Azure Baleful Flame Sword’s origins and resolved to explore the Outer Lands.
