Chapter Summaries

Nie Yun entered the Ancient Battlefield and discovered that its strange laws could help cultivators reach far greater strength. Following the thickening slaughter aura, he found the Divine Temple and a statue of Nie Tong, then hid as several figures approached.

• Nie Yun entered the desolate world, where immense gravity and restrictions on his Soul Force and Heavenly Eye made exploration difficult.
• He realized the world obscured heavenly secrets and Chaos laws, allowing cultivators to comprehend Great Daos up to Two Thousand Nine Hundred with unusual ease.
• Nie Yun used his final Dominator Talisman Seal to expand his vision and speed, then followed the growing slaughter aura toward its source.
• Nie Yun found a ruined Divine Temple beside a broken statue of Nie Tong and saw the charred remains and shattered Chaos Divine Weapons scattered outside.
• Several figures flew toward Nie Yun, and he burrowed into the ground to hide.

Su Lin and five other inheritors gathered in the Divine Temple and learned that it might contain Chaos King Stones tied to King-Sealing Experts. The group discovered that offering one stone of each of nine attributes to Chaos could earn an audience with a Chaos King-Sealing Expert, who would grant one request.

• Su Lin, Mo Yao, Qi Xun, Hu Xuan, and two others struggled to adapt to the Ancient Battlefield's spatial pressure before regrouping.
• Su Lin urged the six to stop arguing and join forces to survive and seek the Divine Temple's treasures.
• Su Lin revealed that the Divine Temple might contain peak Chaos Divine Weapons, Ruler Divine Weapons, and Chaos King Stones.
• Qi Xun explained that Chaos King Stones had uses beyond forging weapons and Outer Body Incarnations, while Su Lin said they were valuable even to King-Sealing Experts.
• Hu Xuan listed the nine Chaos King Stone attributes, and Su Lin revealed that offering one of each to Chaos could earn an audience with a Chaos King-Sealing Expert and one favor.

Su Lin explained the Divine Temple’s potential treasures and organized the group into an alliance with rules for dividing them. Just as they prepared to enter, Prince Fu Jiang arrived and demanded a share, prompting Zhang Lin to challenge him.

• Su Lin revealed that the Divine Temple might contain Ruler Divine Weapons, Chaos King Stones, and books written in Ancient Chaos Language, then urged everyone to cooperate.
• The group agreed to follow Su Lin and divide treasures among their three sect groups according to contribution, with Ten Autumn Ridge choosing first in a tie.
• Su Lin led everyone toward the Divine Temple, but Prince Fu Jiang appeared and demanded that the distribution rules include him.
• Zhang Lin stepped forward and challenged Prince Fu Jiang’s demand.

Nie Yun refined Prince Fu Jiang’s mountain within his Storage World, overcoming the Qianxue Emperor’s remnant soul and strengthening the Heavenly Heart Vine. After he rejoined the others heading into the temple, the emperor sensed the mountain’s refinement and demanded to know who had done it.

• Prince Fu Jiang used a King Marquis Token to suppress Zhang Lin, then secured a share of the temple’s treasures with Su Lin and the others.
• After the group entered the temple, Nie Yun emerged from hiding and decided to follow them while first refining Fu Xu Carries Mountain.
• Inside his Storage World, Nie Yun dispersed the Qianxue Emperor’s remnant soul, which the Heavenly Heart Vine absorbed, raising its strength to 2,810 Great Daos.
• Nie Yun completely refined the mountain and reduced it to a tiny size before leaving the Storage World and following the others into the temple.
• In Qianxue Imperial City, the emperor spat blood after sensing that Fu Xu Carries Mountain had been refined and asked who had done it.

The Qianxue Emperor failed to deduce who had destroyed his intent, but suspected that person might match Ashoka King’s Chaos King Talisman Order target and sent people to investigate God's Relic. Meanwhile, Nie Yun passed through a deadly corridor, reached a hall where Su Lin and the others were collecting treasures, and secretly stole Qi Xun’s Wine Immortal Gourd.

• The Qianxue Emperor used the Qianxue Dragon Seal and a matching Fu Xu Carries Mountain to recreate the event, but the seal could not deduce what had happened.
• The Emperor revealed Ashoka King’s Chaos King Talisman Order, whose target had a slaughter-tainted soul aura, advanced rapidly with the sword, and could not be deduced, then ordered an investigation at God's Relic.
• Nie Yun used the Heavenly Heart Vine to devour the corridor’s ghost heads and endured its soul-tearing icy wind before reaching the hall.
• Nie Yun found Su Lin and the others examining treasures among the corpses of powerful experts, while Qi Xun claimed the Wine Immortal Gourd.
• Nie Yun secretly activated the Heaven Stealing Master Talent and took the Wine Immortal Gourd from Qi Xun’s storage container.

Nie Yun entered the Territory Map and saw through an illusion of a swarm of Mystic Armored Beasts. As he searched for the map’s core, Prince Fu Jiang attacked him from behind.

• Nie Yun secretly took the Wine Immortal Gourd before Su Lin and the others reached a massive Territory Map.
• Su Lin entered the Territory Map, followed by Prince Fu Jiang, Hu Xuan, Mo Yao, and the rest of the group.
• Nie Yun entered the map and found himself alone in a barren region surrounded by an apparent swarm of Mystic Armored Beasts.
• Nie Yun attacked the beasts, then realized they were an illusion when the Heavenly Heart Vine could not devour their corpses; he let one pass through him, causing the swarm to vanish.
• Nie Yun concluded that the Territory Map had a core and began searching for it, but Prince Fu Jiang launched a sword attack at his back.

Nie Yun survived the Territory Map’s final illusion trial and realized that the stone map’s central gap was its core. He fitted the Sealing Stone Tablet from the Golden Xuan Secret Realm into the gap, discovering that it was the key to the Territory Map.

• Prince Fu Jiang and Mo Yao attacked Nie Yun in an illusion, but Nie Yun guessed it was false and stood still until both assailants vanished.
• Nie Yun recognized the woman approaching him as an illusion of Tantai Lingyue and killed her, completing the three illusion trials.
• Nie Yun returned beneath the Territory Map and began searching for its core before Su Lin and the others emerged.
• Nie Yun noticed the map’s square gap and sensed that its dimensions matched the Sealing Stone Tablet.
• Nie Yun inserted the Sealing Stone Tablet into the gap and realized it was the key to opening the Territory Map.

Nie Yun refined the Territory Map and secretly watched as its sudden disappearance made Su Lin and Prince Fu Jiang accuse each other of taking it. Their fight ended without a winner, and the group continued deeper into the Divine Temple with their alliance weakened.

• Nie Yun refined the Territory Map, learned it could only imprison its occupants, and hid as he put it away.
• Su Lin, Prince Fu Jiang, and the others were expelled from the map and argued over who had refined it.
• Prince Fu Jiang accused Su Lin, and the two fought using the Hundred Thousand Soldier Armor Formation and Su Lin's Formations.
• Mo Yao and the others urged them to stop, and Su Lin and Prince Fu Jiang agreed that continuing the fight would gain them nothing.
• Su Lin led the group deeper into the Divine Temple, while the others followed with their former trust eroded.

Su Lin and his companions followed a resentful book to a chamber filled with Ancient Chaos Language books, only to find it guarded by the Chaos Speech Wall. After Hu Xuan was injured trying to enter, Mo Yao explained the seal, and Qi Xun offered to try breaking it with his God-Shattering Ship.

• Su Lin and Mo Yao repelled the Wailing Script Blood Tears' attack, and Mo Yao drove it toward a chamber by pursuing it with a net of Ancient Chaos Language characters.
• Su Lin and the others discovered at least a dozen Ancient Chaos Language books inside the chamber, but Hu Xuan was badly injured when the Chaos Speech Wall repelled his attempt to enter.
• Mo Yao healed Hu Xuan and explained that the Chaos Speech Wall could be crossed by comprehending its characters or torn down by force.
• Su Lin asked Prince Fu Jiang to use Fu Xu Carries Mountain against the wall, angering him because the weapon had been lost.
• Qi Xun brought out an ancient ship, which the others recognized as the God-Shattering Ship.

Qi Xun and the others used the God-Shattering Ship to break through the Chaos Speech Wall and seize a group of Ancient Chaos Language books, whose fused spirituality proved dangerous. After the ship destroyed their spirituality, Su Lin ordered Qi Xun to deal with another threat, and the vessel charged straight toward Nie Yun’s hiding place.

• Qi Xun summoned the God-Shattering Ship, and seven experts powered it to break open the Chaos Speech Wall.
• Su Lin and the others captured the books, but the books fused into a powerful entity and struck them back.
• Prince Fu Jiang warned that the books were fragments of one spiritually awakened book, so the group boarded the God-Shattering Ship to attack it.
• The books escaped the ship’s first charge with the aid of an Ancient Chaos Language character, but the ship struck them twice and extinguished their spirituality.
• Su Lin grabbed the powerless books, then ordered Qi Xun to turn the God-Shattering Ship toward Nie Yun’s hiding place.

Nie Yun escaped a deadly strike from Su Lin and the others by hiding in the Heavenly Profound Hall, but their God-Shattering Ship began tearing through its defenses. He fled deeper into the hall, only for Prince Fu Jiang to recognize him and attack.

• The God-Shattering Ship caught Nie Yun in a spatial and soul lock, but Little Spirit urged him into the Heavenly Profound Hall just before it struck.
• The hall shielded Nie Yun from the collision, though he was injured, and Su Lin and the others decided to ram through its seals to claim it.
• Nie Yun sent Fu Xu Carries Mountain out to block another charge, drew the Heavenly Profound Hall into his body, and fled with his Phoenix Wings.
• The God-Shattering Ship knocked Fu Xu Carries Mountain back, and Nie Yun stored it before escaping deeper into the hall.
• Prince Fu Jiang recognized Nie Yun and launched a streak of cold light at his back.

Nie Yun fled seven experts into a sealed room, where he found Nie Tong locked in a deadly struggle with the Asura King's consciousness. With Nie Yun's Dominator Talisman Seal spent and his pursuers closing in, both brothers were in immediate danger.

• Prince Fu Jiang and six other experts attacked Nie Yun as he fled, leaving him badly wounded.
• Nie Yun sensed that his Dominator Talisman Seal was nearly exhausted and broke through a seal into a hidden room.
• Inside, Nie Yun found Nie Tong enduring a painful battle against the Asura King's consciousness, and a force repelled Nie Yun when he tried to reach him.
• Su Lin, Qi Xun, Prince Fu Jiang, and the others entered the room and chose to attack Nie Yun rather than investigate Nie Tong.
• With his seal's power gone and the pursuers preparing to strike, Nie Yun feared that his death would leave Nie Tong unable to survive.

Nie Yun rescued Nie Tong from the stone statue’s golden light and took him into Heavenly Profound Hall while Su Lin and the others pursued them. With the hall’s defenses set to fail within one hundred breaths and no usable Dominator Talisman Seals available, Nie Yun realized his Three Thousand Dantians might let him complete the incomplete seals.

• Nie Yun redirected Fu Xu Carries Mountain into the golden light linking Nie Tong to the statue, and the light shattered the peak Chaos Divine Weapon as Nie Tong regained consciousness.
• Nie Tong grabbed Nie Yun and escaped the statue’s light, but Su Lin and the others resumed their attack, forcing the brothers into Heavenly Profound Hall.
• Nie Tong explained that a fragment of the Asura King’s will was battling him for control of his body, then withdrew into his sea of consciousness to fight it.
• Nie Yun confined Nie Tong inside the hall and learned from Little Spirit that the hall’s restrictions would hold for at most one hundred breaths and that no usable Dominator Talisman Seals remained.
• After examining the incomplete jade talismans, Nie Yun realized his Three Thousand Dantians might allow him to make their Dao traces flow and give birth to one another.

Nie Yun formed his three thousand strands of third-form talent energy into a ring and gained power greater than the Dominator Talisman Seal. He killed Zhang Lin and Zheng Kai with ease, while Su Lin fled into the God-Shattering Ship.

• Nie Yun realized that combining his three thousand strands of talent energy into a ring could let him wield the Three Thousand Great Daos more powerfully than the Dominator Talisman Seal.
• The God-Shattering Ship breached the Heavenly Profound Hall's restriction, and seven experts surrounded Nie Yun.
• Zhang Lin attacked Nie Yun with a flying sword, but Nie Yun stopped it and used it to kill Zhang Lin.
• Nie Yun tore off Zheng Kai's transformed arm and killed him with a palm strike.
• Su Lin urged the others to enter the God-Shattering Ship and fled inside first.

Nie Yun stopped the God-Shattering Ship with one hand, revealing strength at the Nine Levels of Half-Step Dominator Realm. He rejected the survivors’ offer to become his attendants, killed Hu Xuan and Qi Xun, and decapitated Su Lin, leaving Prince Fu Jiang and the others trapped in the sealed Heavenly Profound Hall.

• The survivors fled into the God-Shattering Ship and speculated that Nie Yun was an ancient Reincarnated Great Power after Mo Yao revealed that he had joined Guixu Sea less than half a year earlier.
• Prince Fu Jiang and Su Lin ordered the God-Shattering Ship to ram Nie Yun, but Nie Yun halted it with one hand.
• Prince Fu Jiang recognized Nie Yun as a Half-step Ruler-level expert, and he and the others decided to offer themselves as attendants while secretly planning to rely on Prince Fu Jiang's father.
• Nie Yun dragged the group out of the ship and refused their offer to serve him, then killed Hu Xuan and Qi Xun with a bolt of lightning.
• Nie Yun restored the Heavenly Profound Hall's seal, trapped the survivors, and seized Su Lin by the neck before killing him.

Nie Yun killed Su Lin and Mo Yao, accepted Prince Fu Jiang's soul-bound submission, and seized their treasures and the God-Shattering Ship. He discovered that his talent-based Great Dao Ring made him as powerful as a Half-step Ruler and could be concealed when not in use.

• Nie Yun killed Su Lin, absorbed his body with the Heavenly Heart Vine, and took his treasures.
• Prince Fu Jiang attacked and killed Mo Yao, then offered his soul to Nie Yun in exchange for his life.
• Nie Yun accepted Fu Jiang's submission, stripped him of his treasures, and stored him in the Storage World.
• Nie Yun claimed and refined the unowned God-Shattering Ship after Qi Xun's death.
• Nie Yun realized his Great Dao Ring was ten times stronger than a Dominator Talisman Seal, granting power comparable to a Half-step Ruler.
• Nie Yun concluded that his Great Dao Ring could not be lent to others but could be hidden when he was not using it.

Nie Yun discovered that Nie Tong was battling the Asura King's consciousness for the Chaos King's recognition and agreed to complete three tasks to help him regain control. The first task was to obtain the Qianxue Dragon Seal, and Nie Yun left the Divine Temple with no clear plan for acquiring it.

• Nie Yun entered Nie Tong's sea of consciousness and tried to help him fight the Asura King's remnant, but Nie Tong warned that an outsider's interference would ruin the struggle.
• Nie Tong told Nie Yun to activate a golden jade tablet and complete three tasks within a year to help him reclaim control and become a King-Sealing Expert.
• Nie Yun read the first task on the tablet: obtain the Qianxue Dragon Seal, which King Fu Jiang identified as the Qianxue Dynasty emperor's imperial seal.
• Nie Yun judged that taking the seal from Emperor Qian Xue would be difficult, then returned to the Divine Temple after failing to devise a plan.
• Nie Yun examined the stone statue and searched the Divine Temple's final room for Chaos King Stones and a Ruler Divine Weapon, but found nothing.
• Nie Yun left the Ancient Battlefield with the treasures and Dominator Talisman Seals he had taken from Su Lin, Fu Jiang, and the others.

Nie Yun returned from the Ancient Battlefield and learned that the Three Great Sects were attacking Guixu Sea, but first decided to help the Four Great Kings escape the Ten Absolutes Ancient Land. The chapter ended with Nie Yun taking King Qing, the Myriad Strength King, and the Mystic Cicada King toward the corpse at the heart of the ancient land.

• Nie Yun returned to the turtle-shell palace and reassured the Four Great Kings that he was safe.
• King Qing told Nie Yun that the Three Great Sects were surrounding and killing Guixu Sea disciples, and Nie Yun considered returning to help them.
• Nie Yun learned that the Four Great Kings could not leave the Ten Absolutes Ancient Land because their souls were bound to it.
• The Mystic Cicada King and King Qing explained that an ancient corpse in the Heart Severance Land controlled the ancient land and imposed the soul-binding restraints.
• Nie Yun promised to take the Extreme Heaven King out someday, then set off with King Qing, the Myriad Strength King, and the Mystic Cicada King aboard the God-Shattering Ship.

Nie Yun brought the Three Great Kings to the corpse at the center of the Despair Water and discovered it was breathing and drawing power from life trapped in the Ten Absolutes Ancient Land. As he approached it to investigate, a sharp force of will pierced his mind and left him frozen.

• Nie Yun drove the God-Shattering Ship through the Despair Water, shielding his companions from its effects with his will.
• The group found a gigantic corpse whose Killing Intent made even Nie Yun feel dizzy, though it bore no aura of the Great Daos.
• Nie Yun used his Heavenly Eye to determine that the corpse was not Asura King's and noticed it periodically drawing in power as if breathing.
• Nie Yun concluded that the corpse had imprisoned the region and was using its inhabitants as nourishment for a possible resurrection.
• Nie Yun left the ship and approached the corpse, but a piercing force of will struck his mind and stiffened his body.

Nie Yun escaped a powerful consciousness trying to seize his body and realized he might need a Ruler Divine Weapon to destroy it. Suspecting he had overlooked one in the Divine Temple, he returned to the Ancient Battlefield to search again.

• Nie Yun used the Great Dao Ring and an ancient Chaos Script book to resist the black figure, but the figure corrupted the book and trapped his consciousness.
• Nie Yun broke free by ordering the God-Shattering Ship to strike his body, then escaped, suffering severe injuries to his body and soul.
• Nie Yun told the Three Great Kings that the corpse's consciousness could revive soon, and they discussed using a Ruler Divine Weapon to destroy it.
• After realizing Ruler Divine Weapons could look like ordinary weapons, Nie Yun suspected he had missed one while searching the Divine Temple.
• Nie Yun returned to Extreme Heaven King's turtle shell, found the chains no longer repelled him, and flew back into the Ancient Battlefield.
• Nie Yun reached the Divine Temple again and saw the split Nie Tong statue standing before it.
