Chapter Summaries

Nie Yun refined the Heart of Heavenly Profound and learned that the Heavenly Profound Hall was a peak Chaos Divine Weapon made from the Heavenly Daos of tens of thousands of worlds. With Fu Yuan trapped outside and empowered by a Dominator Talisman Seal, Nie Yun searched the hall for seals of his own, only to find a shocking number of them.

• Little Spirit pointed out the hall's stored Dominator Talisman Seals, and Nie Yun was astonished by how many there were.

Nie Yun used a Dominator Talisman Seal to gain overwhelming power for one day, while Fu Yuan and the Golden Leaf Merchant Group realized Heavenly Profound Hall might have belonged to a Dominator. Unable to break its seals or find Nie Yun, they captured the trial-takers to use Shi Yuanyuan as bait.

• Nie Yun activated a Dominator Talisman Seal, gaining a ring of immense power that could only be used in battle and would last one day.

He waited outside the domain to let the Dominator Talisman Seal's power fade and began exploring the hall's weapon vault.

• Little Spirit showed Nie Yun the weapon vault and introduced the weapons Knowing Autumn, Ba Liu, and Soul Lock.

Nie Yun refined three peak Chaos Divine Weapons and learned that Soul Chaos King Stones could revive those whose souls had scattered. He used one to bring Mi Jing back to life, while learning that saving Tantai Lingyue required him to reach the Dominator Realm.

• Little Spirit warned Nie Yun not to reveal the divine weapons before he was strong enough, and Nie Yun split into three incarnations to refine them.

• Nie Yun revived Mi Jing, gave her cultivation resources, and shared the memories of what had happened since her death.
• Nie Yun and Little Spirit explored Heavenly Profound Hall, used its mineral reserves to upgrade the Dragon Boat Ancient Ship and Dawn Sword, then entered the Slanting Moon Supreme Domain with Nie Tong.
• In Desert City, Nie Tong discovered that early Heaven-Slaying Realm cultivators ranked at the bottom, while Little Spirit explained the Slanting Moon Soldier qualification and the domain’s spatial oppression.
• Nie Yun learned that the group had no Slanting Moon Coins and needed food, so he rejected missions and auctioning treasures in favor of stealing.
• A haughty young man arrived with attendants who shoved the crowd aside, and Nie Yun called him their customer.

Nie Yun broke through to the middle stage of the Heaven-Slaying Realm and discovered that fusing dantians could lower his cultivation realm while increasing his combat strength. He left seclusion with a new cultivation strategy, but Nie Tong was baffled because Nie Yun appeared not to have advanced.

• Nie Yun completed his breakthrough after comprehending three hundred Great Daos and reasoned that his 101 fused dantians counted as one Dao.
• Nie Yun suspected that the Fusion Dao helped him fight far above his cultivation level and experimented with fusing another dantian.
• After the new fusion lowered his realm to the early stage of the Heaven-Slaying Realm, Nie Yun found that his combat strength had increased.
• Nie Yun separated the fused dantians, returned to the middle stage, and decided to use fusion to conceal his strength and surprise opponents.
• Nie Yun left seclusion, and Nie Tong questioned why his cultivation seemed unchanged.

Nie Yun went to Desert City's Slanting Moon Pavilion to take the Slanting Moon Soldier assessment, despite Little Spirit's doubts about his strength. He entered the Power Testing Hall and survived its hundredfold gravity, drawing a surprised voice from deeper inside.

• Nie Yun told Nie Tong and Little Spirit that he had broken through and insisted on taking the Slanting Moon Soldier assessment.
• Nie Yun, Nie Tong, and Little Spirit arrived at Desert City's Slanting Moon Pavilion, where the counter girl questioned Nie Yun's decision to register at early Heaven-Slaying Realm.
• The counter girl sent Nie Yun to the Power Testing Hall to test his strength, while the people in the hall watched and speculated about him.
• Nie Yun entered the Power Testing Hall, was knocked down by its hundredfold gravity, and suffered severe internal injuries.
• Nie Yun healed himself with Wood Life Qi and stood against the gravity by using his Mighty Dantian, prompting a surprised voice from deeper inside the hall.

Fu Yan, the Power Testing Hall’s person in charge, watched Nie Yun enter the hundredfold-gravity passage and expected him to suffer. Nie Yun easily stood, trained, and lifted Fu Yan’s specially forged stone lock, leaving Fu Yan stunned and humiliated.

• Fu Yan prepared himself before entering the Power Testing Hall, believing newcomers who walked straight in would be injured by the gravity.
• Nie Yun walked into the passage, stood up under the hundredfold gravity, and bounced around while Fu Yan watched in disbelief.
• Nie Yun asked how the assessment worked, and Fu Yan claimed that he had to lift something.
• Fu Yan identified himself as the person in charge and produced a specially forged stone lock for Nie Yun to lift.
• Nie Yun activated the Mighty Dantian, tossed the stone lock into the air, and handled it like a toy.
• Fu Yan realized Nie Yun had lifted the lock that even he could not manage and spat blood in shock.

Nie Yun passed the Power Testing Hall assessment and registered for the deadly Hundred Man Island trial to become a Slanting Moon Soldier. He set out alone, refusing to bring Little Spirit or risk revealing his powerful treasures.

• Nie Yun frightened Fu Yan with the stone lock, passed the Power Testing Hall assessment, and had Fu Yan complete his approval procedures.
• At the registration desk, Nie Yun learned that the Hundred Man Island trial began with one hundred examinees and ended when only three survived.
• Little Spirit warned Nie Yun that many participants had comprehended far more than five hundred Great Daos and offered to accompany him.
• Nie Yun decided to enter alone and avoid using the Dominator Talisman Seal, high-grade Chaos Divine Weapons, or Little Spirit's power to conceal their treasures.
• Nie Yun followed the registration clerk toward the Hundred Man Island assessment while Little Spirit worried and Nie Tong remained calm.

Nie Yun arrived on Hundred Man Island and evaded an ambush by three allied experts. After deciding to use stealth to pick them off, he discovered they could locate other contestants and chose to keep them alive as bait.

• Nie Yun teleported to a wooded island and burrowed underground to escape poison needles fired by three men.
• The three men explained that the island’s Formation would eventually gather all remaining contestants, then left to hunt others.
• Nie Yun judged that the three allied experts were too strong to fight together but vulnerable to separate surprise attacks.
• Nie Yun followed the three and saw them locate a burly man hidden in the trees from more than a kilometer away.
• Nie Yun decided to spare the three for now and use them to draw the attention of other contestants.

Nie Yun watched Sharp Marquis kill a burly Seven Hundred Great Daos expert and then execute the two men who had allied with him. Sharp Marquis sensed Nie Yun’s hiding place and ordered him to come out.

• Three men ambushed a burly man, but his golden bell and hand guards turned aside their attacks.

Nie Yun learned that Marquis Jian Luo Sheng and Ten Thousand Man Devil Kou Xin were thousand-Great-Dao experts seeking Slanting Moon Soldier status to enter the Guixu Sea selection, and that they planned to join Ice Soul Fairy Bing Yunxue.

• Kou Xin recognized Marquis Jian Luo Sheng and revealed they both sought Slanting Moon Soldier status to qualify for the Guixu Sea selection.
• Luo Sheng and Kou Xin tested each other's strength, confirmed they had each comprehended a thousand Great Daos, and agreed to cooperate with Ice Soul Fairy Bing Yunxue.
• After the pair left, Nie Yun worried that he could not defeat the three thousand-Great-Dao experts and decided to raise his strength without exposing the Dominator Talisman Seal.
• Nie Yun followed the sound of a battle to a valley, where a woman repelled Azure Blood Ancestor's attack with one finger.
• Azure Blood Ancestor tried to flee after recognizing the woman's strength, but Luo Sheng killed him with the Blood Droplet, and Nie Yun identified the woman as Bing Yunxue.

Nie Yun was discovered by Luo Sheng and narrowly escaped the attacks of Luo Sheng, Kou Xin, and Bing Yunxue. After tricking them into thinking poisoned needles had killed him, he sensed that the Origin Energy Master Talent and Martial Dao Master Talent were about to fuse.

• Kou Xin introduced Luo Sheng and Bing Yunxue, and the three agreed to work together and divide their spoils.
• Luo Sheng exposed Nie Yun's hiding place, struck him with a powerful attack, and Bing Yunxue's freezing assault forced Nie Yun to flee underground.
• Luo Sheng tracked Nie Yun by scent and fired poisoned needles into the earth, but Nie Yun deliberately let them pierce him because the poison nourished him.
• Bing Yunxue led Luo Sheng and Kou Xin away to investigate a distant battle, and Nie Yun emerged from the ground after they left.
• Nie Yun sensed that the Origin Energy Master Talent and the Martial Dao Master Talent were about to fuse.

Nie Yun fused his Origin Energy Dantian and Martial Dantian, more than doubling his strength, then discovered a sneaking attacker and learned about the Guixu Sea’s Quota Talismans.

• Nie Yun used the Heavenly Eye to find Luo Sheng and the other two sweeping across Hundred Man Island, then decided to wait while they killed the other examinees.
• A wiry man tried to sneak up on Nie Yun, but Nie Yun spotted him, stopped his escape, and knocked him down with one slap.
• The wiry man begged for his life and offered Nie Yun a Quota Talisman for the Guixu Sea selection.
• The wiry man explained that Guixu Sea distributed only ten thousand talismans and selected outer, inner, and core disciples from their holders.
• The wiry man told Nie Yun that a Quota Talisman was not enough: candidates also had to be Slanting Moon Soldiers.

Nie Yun learned that Guixu Sea's assessment required a Quota Talisman and accepted Shi Hao as his servant after discovering that Shi Hao had stolen one. After Nie Yun defeated Xu Yao, he offered to take him as a servant too, leaving Xu Yao agreeing to submit.

• Nie Yun learned that only Slanting Moon Soldiers with Quota Talismans could enter Guixu Sea's assessment, and Shi Hao admitted he had stolen his talisman.
• Shi Hao swore an oath to serve Nie Yun, who took the Quota Talisman and hid its aura inside the Heavenly Profound Hall.

• Nie Yun knocked Xu Yao down and offered to spare him if he became a servant and shared his Soul Attack secret art.
• Xu Yao agreed to become Nie Yun's servant.

Nie Yun discovered a path toward fusing his Talents and was forced into the final battle on Hundred Man Island. He killed Luo Sheng with overwhelming strength, leaving Kou Xin and Bing Yunxue facing him in the Formation.

• Nie Yun realized Xu Yao's bloodline power could inspire Soul Attack Martial Dao skills and give him a way to fuse his Talents through Martial Dao.

Nie Yun defeated three powerful opponents on Hundred Man Island and passed the assessment, reuniting with Nie Tong and Little Spirit in Desert City. With no Slanting Moon Soldier trial currently available, he faced a delay before he could pursue the Guixu Sea assessment, while the Chu Family asked him for help.

• Nie Yun killed Bing Yunxue and Kou Xin after defeating their attacks, then looted the three corpses and was teleported from Hundred Man Island when the assessment ended.

Nie Yun and Fu Yan went to the Chu Family residence, where Diao Xiong asked them to help kill Mo Ren Di of the Baihe Sect. After they refused, Diao Xiong had three armed five-hundred-Great-Daos experts block them in the hall.

• Nie Yun and Fu Yan followed an old man to the Chu Family residence after the assessment could not continue.
