• Zitong Undestroyable and the others pressed Fu Anchao to share what he knew about their chance to become Rulers.
• Fu Anchao refused to explain, so Zitong Undestroyable attacked him and the two exchanged a powerful blow.
• Nie Yun hid himself and Duan Yi inside Heavenly Profound Hall to avoid being discovered during the fight.
• After the others demanded an explanation, Fu Anchao agreed to speak and set up a restriction around the group.
• Fu Anchao said the matter involved the fallen Asura King and explained that the Three Realms Battlefield had once been called the Four Realms Battlefield, where people from the Asura Great World had also come.

Fu Anchao revealed that the Asura Supreme Domain’s Pseudo-Origin Great Daos had survived and were sealed somewhere within Tianshu Pavilion. He told the gathered experts that opening the seal required a Seal Breaking Wheel, which, along with the Order Seeking Talisman, was nearby.

• Fu Anchao said he had explored the Three Realms Battlefield 737 times and discovered a legend about obtaining a Pseudo-Origin Great Dao.
• Fu Anchao argued that the Asura Supreme Domain’s Pseudo-Origin Great Daos remained because its core survived in the God's Relic.

Nie Yun and Duan Yi joined Fu Anchao’s group on the way to Yin Soul Valley, while both sides concealed their plans to deal with each other later. The group entered the valley’s Three Realms Thunder Punishment on Fu Anchao’s lotus platform, where they spotted Thunder Beasts ahead.

• Fu Anchao agreed to let Nie Yun and Duan Yi join the expedition without making them swear to obey his commands, while secretly planning to kill Nie Yun later.
• Nie Yun used his Heavenly Ear Master Talent to overhear Fu Anchao’s group discussing their hidden intentions and assured Duan Yi that they were not in immediate danger.

• Fu Anchao carried the group into the thunder pool on a lotus platform and explained that the Three Realms Thunder Punishment was second only to Chaos Lightning Punishment.
• As the lotus platform descended through the lightning, Fu Anchao spotted Thunder Beasts ahead.

Nie Yun volunteered to hold off a Thunder Beast so Fu Anchao could lead the others onward through the lightning pool. After enduring its attack, Nie Yun used his Ruler-level soul to capture the beast in his Storage World.

• Fu Anchao used his Lotus Seat to shield the group from the Thunder Beasts, but their attacks rapidly withered its lotus flowers.
• Zitong Undestroyable transformed into his stone-like true form and fought one Thunder Beast while Fu Anchao moved the Lotus Seat onward.

• Nie Yun endured the lightning and the Thunder Beast's mind-affecting blow before capturing it in his Storage World.

Nie Yun absorbed a Thunder Beast in the Storage World, strengthened his body, and collected a vast amount of lightning before rejoining Fu Anchao’s group. In Yin Soul Valley, Fu Anchao explained its three checkpoints, and the group began descending until Nie Yun noticed that their progress made no sense.

• Nie Yun subdued the Thunder Beast in the Storage World, used its lightning to temper his body, and stored a large portion of the lightning pool.
• Nie Yun helped Zitong Undestroyable escape the pursuing Thunder Beast, then rejoined Fu Anchao and the others after they left the lightning pool.
• Fu Anchao described Yin Soul Valley’s three checkpoints, and the elder sister among the Ghostly Enchantress suggested they might choose a king among the yin souls.
• The group followed Fu Anchao into Yin Soul Valley, where the increasingly heavy yin energy made the descent feel more dangerous.
• Nie Yun stopped the group after realizing they had traveled for more than ten minutes without seeing anything despite covering millions of kilometers.

Nie Yun and the others encountered a strange phenomenon in Yin Soul Valley when White Head Venerable changed, attacked them, and vanished after being beheaded. After confirming that the White Head Venerable with them was real, they discovered a mirror showing their corpselike reflections and saw Duan Yi behaving eerily beside it.

• Nie Yun rejected Fu Anchao’s guess that Yin Soul Valley was a Small World, and the group noticed White Head Venerable’s hair had turned black.
• White Head Venerable said black hair meant he was about to die, then attacked the group with eerie green features and whip-like hair.
• Nie Yun and the others fought White Head Venerable and cut off his head, but the headless body fled into the mist.
• A white-haired White Head Venerable appeared behind the group, and Nie Yun used Three Realms Lightning to confirm that he was real.
• The younger Ghostly Enchantress spotted a mirror reflecting the group, where Nie Yun appeared scarred and corpse-like, while Duan Yi stood before it with a deathly pale face.

Nie Yun and the others confronted a mirror that trapped people in terrifying illusions and nearly dragged Zitong Undestroyable inside. After they shattered it and freed Duan Yi and Ghostly Enchantress's younger sister, Nie Yun expelled an evil spirit from Duan Yi, but Ghostly Enchantress's elder sister attacked him when his thunder injured her sister.

• Duan Yi acted strangely before the mirror, and Zitong Undestroyable's hand became trapped inside it as a reflected version of Duan Yi tried to pull him in.
• Nie Yun severed Zitong Undestroyable's arm to save him, while Ghostly Enchantress's younger sister appeared in the mirror eating the severed arm.

• Fu Anchao stopped the elder Ghostly Enchantress from attacking Nie Yun, who explained that he was trying to save her sister.
• Nie Yun expelled and destroyed the yin soul inside the younger Ghostly Enchantress, leaving her unconscious with an injured Divine Soul.
• Nie Yun and Fu Anchao led the group into a newly revealed passage, where Zitong Undestroyable identified an ancient Te Ya prophecy stele.
• Zitong Undestroyable read the stele's first line: there were seven of them, but only four had souls.
• The elder Ghostly Enchantress cried out when she found her younger sister lying still and no longer breathing.

Nie Yun denied killing Ghostly Enchantress's younger sister, but the Prophecy Stele's first predictions matched her death and Zitong Undestroyable's nature. The group learned that the third person described as soulless was the strongest and had the surname Nie, leaving Nie Yun under suspicion.

• Nie Yun found Ghostly Enchantress's younger sister dead, and her elder sister attacked him with her crimson silk weapon.
• Nie Yun fought defensively until Fu Anchao intervened, calmed the elder sister, and urged the group to investigate the death rather than turn against one another.
• White Head Venerable pointed out that the stele's prediction of seven people and four souls could mean someone had died or been possessed by a yin soul.
• Nie Yun told Zitong Undestroyable to continue reading the Prophecy Stele, whose first lines matched the younger sister's death and Zitong Undestroyable's soulless nature.
• Zitong Undestroyable read that the third soulless person was the strongest and had the surname Nie, startling Nie Yun.

Nie Yun was identified by the Prophecy Stele and faced accusations that he was a Yin soul and the cause of the deaths. After enduring what seemed to be an attack from the others, he discovered they had not moved, leaving him to suspect he had fallen into an illusion before Zitong Undestroyable revealed the third line.

• The Prophecy Stele named someone surnamed Nie, and Nie Yun feared he might have been possessed by a Yin soul.
• Duan Yi recognized Nie Yun, prompting Fu Anchao, White Head Venerable, and Ghostly Enchantress's elder sister to surround and accuse him.
• Nie Yun revealed his identity and denied being a Yin soul or killing anyone, but Zitong Undestroyable joined the others in attacking him.
• Nie Yun defended himself with the Heavenly Heart Vine and used the Storage World to absorb the apparent attacks.
• Nie Yun found the others standing as before, and Fu Anchao said that Nie Yun had attacked the air while they had not moved.
• Nie Yun realized Zitong Undestroyable had not yet revealed the third line and questioned whether he had experienced an illusion.

Nie Yun destroyed the hypnotic Prophecy Stele, revealing the Yin Soul Ravine and its narrow stone bridge. He and Duan Yi began crossing, but four powerful Yin souls appeared around them as the chapter ended.

• Nie Yun warned that the Prophecy Stele caused Illusions and shattered it with Thunderous Kyushu despite Fu Anchao's objection.
• The destroyed stele revealed the stone bridge over the Yin Soul Ravine, and Fu Anchao explained how his Heavenly Spirit Cicada Robe could counter the pull below.
• Nie Yun gave Fu Anchao and the others Three Realms Lightning Talismans, then followed with Duan Yi after the group entered the bridge.
• Nie Yun lent Duan Yi the Flowing Light Spear as they struggled against the bridge's cold and devouring force.
• Four winged Yin souls armed with steel forks appeared around Nie Yun and Duan Yi, each with peak Great Triple Stage Half-step Ruler strength.

Nie Yun and Duan Yi confronted powerful yin souls on a stone bridge after Nie Yun discovered that the Myriad Souls Sea’s spiritual energy had trapped them in an Illusion. Ghostly Nether Venerable revealed his identity and began preparing a soul attack, leaving Nie Yun to counter it.

• The leading yin soul explained that the Myriad Souls Sea’s resentful spiritual energy had drawn Nie Yun and Duan Yi into an Illusion, and Nie Yun sealed off his absorption of outside energy.
• Two yin souls attacked Nie Yun with steel forks, but he blocked them with thunder from his Ruler Divine Weapon longsword.
• Nie Yun used One Sword Cuts Through, wounding one yin soul but failing to kill either.
• The leading yin soul used Ghostly Soul-Swaying Wave, and Duan Yi recognized him as Ghostly Nether Venerable, a legendary expert who served King You as a yin soul.
• As Ghostly Nether Venerable’s soul ripples advanced, Nie Yun infused his longsword with Ruler-level Soul Force and began drawing circles with it.

Nie Yun and Duan Yi fought Ghostly Nether Venerable and his yin souls on the stone beam, but Ghostly Soul-Swaying Wave struck Nie Yun and left him apparently dying. As Duan Yi battled on, a pitch-black vine suddenly caught Ghostly Nether Venerable by the throat.

• Nie Yun disrupted Ghostly Nether Venerable's Ghostly Soul-Swaying Wave until three yin souls attacked, and Duan Yi moved to hold one off.
• Nie Yun used One Sword Envelops the Universe to drive back two yin souls, but Ghostly Nether Venerable's Roar of the Cudgel awakened them before the sword could kill them.
• Ghostly Nether Venerable unleashed his accumulated Ghostly Soul-Swaying Wave, and Nie Yun's repeated Defense Qi barriers shattered before the attack pierced his mind.
• Ghostly Nether Venerable declared Nie Yun dead and ordered his yin souls to kill Duan Yi, who fought back with the Flowing Light Spear.
• Nie Yun fell from the stone beam as Duan Yi fought the yin souls, and a pitch-black vine wrapped around Ghostly Nether Venerable's throat before he could attack again.

Nie Yun defeated Ghostly Nether Venerable with a hidden Heavenly Heart Vine, then exposed and captured a group of yin souls disguised as Fu Anchao and his companions. Their leader revealed himself as Demon Refining Venerable, leaving Nie Yun facing an opponent with a fearsome reputation.

• Nie Yun used the Heavenly Heart Vine to destroy Ghostly Nether Venerable and devour his Soul Force.
