Chapter Summaries

Nie Yun killed Elder Bei Xu and Prince Yan Huo’s group, then ordered Eternal Emperor to search for Prince Ru Xia and the others. After learning they had been seen near the forbidden Bei Chen Sea, Nie Yun teleported there with Eternal Emperor.

• Nie Yun burned Elder Bei Xu to ash and refined the insights recorded in his Lightning Great Dao inheritance.
• Nie Yun killed Prince Yan Huo and his companions, then took their Storage Rings.
• Nie Yun showed Eternal Emperor illusory images of Prince Ru Xia and the others and ordered him to investigate their whereabouts.
• Eternal Emperor returned a day later with news that the group had been seen near Bei Chen Sea, a frozen forbidden ocean in the extreme north.
• Nie Yun identified Bei Chen Sea through his Storage World and teleported there with Eternal Emperor, astonishing him.

Nie Yun followed Henggu into Bei Chen Sea to search for Prince Ru Xia and the others, but discovered that the sea concealed a powerful Heart Formation. After recognizing that his knowledge of Formations was trapping him in endless deductions, Nie Yun prepared to use a trump card.

• Henggu told Nie Yun that his men had gone beneath the sea, and Nie Yun opened a path through the water with his Soaring Water Master talent.
• Nie Yun and Henggu descended for dozens of breaths without reaching the seabed, prompting Nie Yun to realize they had entered a powerful Formation.
• Nie Yun used the Storage World's spatial power to investigate Bei Chen Sea and found that the entire ocean was part of an immense Formation.
• After rejecting many possible routes, Nie Yun recognized that the Formation was a Heart Formation that ensnared those who tried to solve it through ordinary Formation principles.
• Nie Yun decided to use his trump card and produced a shoe.

Nie Yun used a shoe to escape the heart formation and reached the seabed with Henggu. He then used the Direction Finding Needle to locate Prince Ru Xia, and the two flew toward an Underwater Ancient City.

• Henggu recorded Nie Yun tossing a shoe and asked whether the trick involved a profound Great Dao.
• Nie Yun explained that tossing the shoe stopped him from thinking about the heart formation, preventing it from creating heart demons.
• Nie Yun and Henggu repeatedly followed the shoe’s direction until they escaped the formation and reached the seabed.
• Henggu tried throwing his own shoe to find what they sought, but Nie Yun instead used the Direction Finding Needle to locate Prince Ru Xia.
• Nie Yun and Henggu followed the needle for about half an hour until an Underwater Ancient City appeared.

Nie Yun and Henggu discovered an ancient city beneath Bei Chen Sea, where Prince Ru Xia and his companions were being captured by Prince Zhen Xiang and Wu Qing. As Prince Zhen Xiang ordered their execution, Nie Yun was approaching the city.

• Nie Yun sensed Prince Ru Xia, Ye Tao, and others inside the ancient city, along with Prince Zhen Xiang and a powerful puppet.
• Prince Zhen Xiang and Wu Qing used the puppet and Supreme Yang Pills to overcome the cold and defeat the already injured Prince Ru Xia.
• Wu Qing revealed that the city was connected to the Ice Emperor, who had fallen in the Ancient Battlefield, and that they sought his treasure.
• Prince Zhen Xiang's group captured Prince Ru Xia, Ye Tao, and Yun Rou after injuring them.
• Prince Zhen Xiang ordered his followers to kill the captives as Nie Yun and Henggu hurried toward them.

Nie Yun rescued Prince Ru Xia and the others, then confronted Prince Zhen Xiang and his group. He killed them all with ease and collected their Storage Rings, leaving his allies astonished by his strength.

• Prince Zhen Xiang’s men attacked Prince Ru Xia and the others, but an unseen force reduced the attackers to dust.
• Nie Yun appeared with a companion, healed Prince Ru Xia, Ye Tao, and the others with the Shen Nong Hundred Herbs Scripture, and ignored their warnings to flee.
• Prince Zhen Xiang sent a message to Prince Yan Huo, but Nie Yun said he had already killed Prince Yan Huo and Lord Bei Xu.
• Nie Yun struck Prince Zhen Xiang down with one finger and stopped Wu Qing and the others from escaping.
• Nie Yun burned Prince Zhen Xiang, Wu Qing, and the rest to ashes, gathered their Storage Rings, and left Prince Ru Xia wondering whether he had reached the Stealing Heaven Borrowing Life Realm.

Nie Yun revealed that his combat strength rivaled a Stealing Heaven Borrowing Life expert despite his Perfected King Realm cultivation, prompting Prince Ru Xia to suspect he was pursuing a Perfect Domain. After learning that the Myriad Realms Cave Heaven might contain remnants of the Ice Emperor, Nie Yun led the group to search for relics that could aid his breakthrough.

• Nie Yun told Prince Ru Xia, Ye Tao, and Yun Rou that his strength was close to Stealing Heaven Borrowing Life despite his Perfected King Realm cultivation.
• Prince Ru Xia suspected Nie Yun was trying to condense a Perfect Domain, which would fuse all Three Thousand Great Daos.
• Nie Yun changed the subject and asked whether the Myriad Realms Cave Heaven held remnants of the Ice Emperor.
• Prince Ru Xia and the others said they had only heard Wu Qing mention the possibility, while Nie Yun judged the cave heaven's chaotic laws supported the claim.
• Nie Yun spread the spatial power of his Storage World and led the group to search for the Ice Emperor's relics and inheritance.

Nie Yun and his companions found a frigid pool and descended into it in search of a Great Emperor’s ruins. At the bottom, Nie Yun entered a hall alone and was challenged by an Ice Man to a trial.

• Nie Yun gave Supreme Yang Pills to Prince Ru Xia, Ye Tao, Yun Rou, and Henggu before they approached the Cold Pond.
• Nie Yun invited Henggu to join the search, and the group entered the pool; Ye Tao and Yun Rou soon retreated because they could not endure the cold.
• Nie Yun, Prince Ru Xia, and Henggu swam deeper, and Ru Xia suggested Puntian Great Emperor had arranged the Fire Dragon Heart trial to prepare them for the Cold Pond.
• After about an hour, Nie Yun reached a vast hall and found that Prince Ru Xia and Henggu had been sent to separate spaces for the same test.
• An Ice Man challenged Nie Yun to defeat him, promising to suppress his cultivation to Nie Yun’s level; Nie Yun questioned whether he was sure.

Nie Yun defeated the ice man in the first and second trials of the Great Emperor’s ruins, despite the ice man’s claims of strength and accusations of ambush. After passing the second trial, Nie Yun found the entrance to the third, where his speed would supposedly be suppressed.

• The ice man challenged Nie Yun to fight without divine weapons, but Nie Yun struck him down with one punch before he could react.
• The ice man reformed, accused Nie Yun of ambushing him, and then vanished as another Cold Pond appeared.
• Nie Yun entered the second Cold Pond, resisted its greater cold with his Storage World, and reached another hall.
• The ice man reappeared at early-stage Emperor Realm strength and claimed his combat power was far greater than before.
• Nie Yun punched the ice man apart again, and the ice man counted the trial as passed while warning that Nie Yun’s speed would be suppressed in the next trial.

Nie Yun used the Fusion Dao to cross the third Cold Pond and defeated ten ice persons in the final trial. He earned entry to the Emperor Ruins, where a much more dangerous test for the Emperor’s inheritance awaited.

• Nie Yun used the Fusion Dao to withstand the third Cold Pond’s extreme chill and reach the great hall.
• The ice person summoned nine copies and challenged Nie Yun to fight all ten within their space-locking Ten Directions Formation.
• Nie Yun effortlessly shattered all ten ice persons with one move, revealing his own strength rather than a protective treasure.
• The ice person declared that Nie Yun had passed the three trials and warned him that the Emperor’s test could be fatal.
• Nie Yun entered the Teleportation Array and appeared in a larger great hall.

Nie Yun reached the Ice Emperor’s skeleton, bowed one hundred times, and was sent to undergo an inheritance assessment. The Ice Emperor destroyed Nie Yun’s physical body and fused his own bones with Nie Yun’s skeleton, beginning a bone replacement.

• Nie Yun recognized the ancient skeleton as possibly belonging to the Ice Emperor and read the platform’s command to bow one hundred times.
• Nie Yun completed the bows, awakening the Ice Emperor, who explained that Nie Yun would have to pass three sections of the Floating Sky Bridge to receive the inheritance.
• The Ice Emperor said he would alter Nie Yun’s constitution, then used his power to slice open and destroy Nie Yun’s physical body.
• Nie Yun realized his consciousness remained and recognized the skeleton left behind as his own.
• The Ice Emperor’s skeleton fused with Nie Yun’s skeleton, and Nie Yun understood that the Ice Emperor was replacing his bones.

Nie Yun fused the Ice Emperor’s skeleton into his body, restoring himself and reaching the Perfected Emperor Realm. He then arrived at the Floating Sky Bridge, where he began comprehending the Wind God Art, but a massive black shadow suddenly appeared.

• The Ice Emperor’s skeleton fused with Nie Yun’s bones, and the Ice Emperor’s final will asked him to look after the Ice lineage.
• Nie Yun’s body regenerated around the skeleton, and he thanked the Ice Emperor before discovering his physical strength had reached the Perfected Emperor Realm.
• Nie Yun noted that his Storage World had not advanced, but his defenses and stamina had greatly improved, then set out for the Floating Sky Bridge.
• Nie Yun found the Wind God Art at the bridge’s entrance and began comprehending the Ice Emperor’s movement technique.
• Nie Yun used the Wind God Art to move hundreds of kilometers in an instant, then a massive black shadow appeared on the bridge with a thunderous roar.

Nie Yun passed the first two Sky Devouring Vine trials and advanced his Wind God Art to its third level, but he could not quickly master the final technique. With the Myriad Realms Cave Heaven closing soon, he prioritized escaping the final trial so he could seek a region’s core and pursue a Perfect Domain.

• Nie Yun failed the first Sky Devouring Vine trial, then observed the vines for three days and deduced a safe route without using Teleportation.
• Nie Yun used the Wind God Art to pass the first trial and cultivated the second level to major completion.
• Nie Yun found the route through a more difficult Sky Devouring Vine blockade on his fourth attempt and reached the third level of the Wind God Art.
• Nie Yun comprehended the third level for ten days but reached only minor completion, realizing he lacked time to master it before the cave closed.
• Nie Yun decided to break through the final Sky Devouring Vine trial, obtain Ice Emperor’s inheritance, and search for a region’s core to advance his Storage World.

Nie Yun used his Martial Dao Master Talent to predict the changing gaps in the Sky Devouring Vines and pass the third trial of the Floating Sky Bridge. He returned to the palace, where a phantom congratulated him on passing.

• Nie Yun discovered that hidden passages opened in the Sky Devouring Vines, but searching for them as he moved was too slow to pass the trial in time.
• Nie Yun tried to memorize the passages, then learned that the vine wall had a single gap that changed position each time.
• Nie Yun realized his Martial Dao Master Talent might predict the vines’ movements and reveal where a gap would open.
• Nie Yun used the talent to find the gaps and charged through the vine-covered region, completing all three trials.
• Nie Yun returned to a vast palace, where a phantom congratulated him on passing the trial.

Nie Yun met the Ice Emperor's remnant soul, inherited the Ice Blade and a duty to protect the Ice Lineage, then refined the weapon with the Fusion Dao. He stored the Ice Blade as a powerful but restricted trump card and resolved to focus on growing stronger.

• The Ice Emperor told Nie Yun that he had left his legacy behind before the Emperor Fall Cataclysm and gave him the Ice Blade, a Chaos Sacred Treasure containing the Ice Dao.
• The Ice Emperor asked Nie Yun to look after the Ice Lineage before his remnant soul vanished, and Nie Yun vowed to do so.
• Nie Yun deduced that the Ice Emperor's remains had returned after the remnant soul was left and wondered what had happened during the Emperor Fall War.
• Nie Yun used the Fusion Dao to refine the Ice Blade, enduring its intense cold until he successfully bonded with it.
• Nie Yun concluded that the Ice Blade could greatly boost his combat power but required the restricted Fusion Dao, so he stored it as a trump card.

After obtaining the Ice Emperor’s inheritance, Nie Yun left the Bei Chen Sea and headed for the Sky-Splitting Zone to find Fusion World cores and confront Prince Duobo. He entered the zone’s dangerous core with Ye Tao, Prince Ru Xia, and the Eternal Emperor, where they encountered a swarm of Sky-Splitting Beasts.

• Nie Yun returned from the Myriad Realms Cave Heaven’s trial, learned that Henggu and Prince Ru Xia had failed the first Cold Pond, and departed the level-seven world with his companions.
• Nie Yun killed the trial-takers who pursued him and chose to travel to the Sky-Splitting Zone, where Prince Duobo was also believed to be.
• After seven days of travel, Nie Yun reached the Sky-Splitting Zone and gave his companions Myriad Realms Feather Robes and Burning Heaven Beast blood before they entered its core.
• Nie Yun and his companions flew into the zone’s violent center, where Prince Ru Xia spotted a swarm of Sky-Splitting Beasts and warned that adults had Stealing Heaven Borrowing Life Realm strength.

Nie Yun faced thousands of Sky-Splitting Beasts with Ye Tao, Prince Ru Xia, and their companions, then used the Ice Blade to slaughter the beasts despite their overwhelming numbers. The Sky-Splitting Beasts panicked as Nie Yun sent the blade into their horde again.

• Ye Tao and Prince Ru Xia feared that they could not escape after thousands of Sky-Splitting Beasts encircled the group.
• Nie Yun told the others to wait and stepped forward with the Ice Blade, dismissing Prince Ru Xia's offer to use a Void Transfer Talisman.
• Nie Yun activated his Fusion Dao and sent the Ice Blade at the approaching Sky-Splitting Beasts.
• The Ice Blade sliced through the beasts' combined attack and killed dozens of them in a single sweep.
• The Sky-Splitting Beasts urged one another to attack Nie Yun together, but he sent the Ice Blade through their horde again and cut down several hundred more.

Nie Yun refined Sky-Splitting Beast blood and used accelerated time to help Ru Xia, Ye Tao, and Yun Rou grow stronger. After they helped him clear the beast horde, Nie Yun revealed that Prince Duobo, Prince Liu Mu, and Mo Yan had disappeared near the center of the Sky-Splitting Zone, and the group continued searching for them.

• Nie Yun refined the blood of several hundred Sky-Splitting Beasts and gave a drop each to Ru Xia, Ye Tao, and Yun Rou to refine inside his Storage World with accelerated time.
• Ru Xia reached the Stealing Heaven Borrowing Life Realm, while Ye Tao and Yun Rou came close to it; after eating Sky-Splitting Beast flesh, Ye Tao and Yun Rou advanced to the highest realm beneath the Heavenly Dao Realm.
• Ru Xia, Ye Tao, and Yun Rou returned to the Sky-Splitting Zone and joined Nie Yun in killing the remaining Sky-Splitting Beasts.
• Ru Xia, Ye Tao, and Yun Rou knelt before Nie Yun in gratitude, and he told them they could reach the Heavenly Dao Realm or beyond if they followed him.
• Nie Yun said that Prince Duobo, Prince Liu Mu, and Mo Yan had entered the Sky-Splitting Zone, evaded the beasts pursuing them, and vanished three days earlier; the group set out to continue onward.

Nie Yun and his companions entered the Sky-Splitting Zone’s central world, where they suspected Prince Duobo and the others were seeking a way to break through the Heavenly Dao. Unable to use the Direction Finding Needle in the powerful independent world, Nie Yun decided to search for its World Heart first.

• Prince Ru Xia recalled a rumor that Mo Yan had come to the Myriad Realms Cave Heaven to seek a secret for breaking through the Heavenly Dao, and Nie Yun considered that Prince Duobo and Prince Liu Mu might be pursuing the same goal.
• Nie Yun led the group into the Sky-Splitting Zone’s central world, where the immense spatial pressure revealed it to be at least a Level Twelve world.
• Nie Yun realized that the world’s World Heart could strengthen his Storage World and help him form a Perfect Domain, potentially enabling his breakthrough to the Emperor Realm.
• Nie Yun tried to use the Direction Finding Needle to locate the World Heart and Prince Duobo, but Prince Ru Xia explained that it could not work inside such a stable independent world.
• With only about twenty days remaining and the world too vast to search quickly, Nie Yun chose to look for the World Heart before searching for Prince Duobo and the others.

Nie Yun disguised himself as You Chi and approached the Beast King Palace, hoping to learn how to find the Sky-Splitting Zone’s World Heart. He discovered that the Burning Heaven Beast King was visiting the Sky-Splitting Beast King, just as the latter’s voice boomed across the palace grounds.

• Nie Yun proposed seeking information about the World Heart from the Sky-Splitting Beast King, and he set out for the Beast King Palace with Ru Xia and the others stored away.
• Nie Yun transformed into You Chi and tried to pass the palace guards by claiming he had important news for the King.
• A guard told Nie Yun that the Burning Heaven Beast King was visiting after the Burning Heaven Zone collapsed and destroyed more than half its beasts.
• Nie Yun questioned the guard about the visitor and heard rumors that humans had caused the Burning Heaven Zone’s collapse.
• The Sky-Splitting Beast King’s thunderous voice rang out before the guard could say more.

Nie Yun infiltrated the Sky-Splitting Beast King’s palace disguised as You Chi, after overhearing the Beast King reject the Burning Heaven Beast King’s request for help. The Sky-Splitting Beast King saw through Nie Yun’s disguise and sealed the palace, leaving him facing certain death.

• The Burning Heaven Beast King stormed out after failing to persuade the Sky-Splitting Beast King to help capture humans, and Nie Yun guessed it had concealed Yan Huang Hall’s secret.
• The Sky-Splitting Beast King ordered Hun Zhu to track the Burning Heaven Beast King, then summoned Nie Yun, who had claimed he had an important report.
• Nie Yun entered the palace, masked his aura with Sky-Splitting Beast blood energy, and told the Sky-Splitting Beast King that unfamiliar humans had escaped him.
• The Sky-Splitting Beast King sealed the palace and threatened to kill Nie Yun for failing to capture the humans.
• Nie Yun begged to redeem himself, but the Sky-Splitting Beast King revealed that it had recognized him as a human in disguise.
