Chapter Summaries

Mo Ge refined a Ruler Divine Weapon, avenged his family by killing the Juesha Sect members, and swore lifelong allegiance to Nie Yun. As the group entered the Qing Ling Heavenly Domain to search Jue Ming Cave for the crystal, the Juesha King ordered an elder to pursue them and seize the Ayyena Crystal.

• Mo Ge refined the Ruler Divine Weapon Nie Yun had given him and thanked Nie Yun, who told him to take revenge before leading the group to Jue Ming Cave.
• Mo Ge killed Shi Xing and the Juesha Sect members who had helped him, awakening his Blood Demon bloodline in the process.
• Mo Ge swore a Chaos Oath of lifelong service to Nie Yun, then led Nie Yun and the others toward Jue Ming Cave aboard the Pill God Ancient Ship.
• The group entered the Qing Ling Heavenly Domain, where Mo Ge said he would recognize the place where he had lost the crystal once he got close.
• An elder learned that Nie Yun was pursuing Mo Ge's crystal and reported the news to the Juesha King, who empowered him to pursue the group and seize the Ayyena Crystal.

Juesha King sent a King-Sealing Envoy armed with a Half-step King-Sealing Divine Weapon to pursue Nie Yun, while Ashoka King and Chaos King dispatched representatives of their own. Nie Yun revealed that he had publicized the Ayyena Crystal’s whereabouts to draw the Three Kings’ attention away from Nie Tong, leaving the envoys and other experts converging on Qing Ling Heavenly Domain.

• Juesha King empowered an old man with his will, lent him a Half-step King-Sealing Divine Weapon, and sent him to find the Ayyena Crystal and escape into the Chaos Ocean.
• The old man entered Qing Ling Heavenly Domain as representatives sent by Ashoka King and Chaos King also raced there, drawing many powerful experts into the region.
• Fu Anchao warned Nie Yun that King-Sealing Envoys could gain tenfold strength when empowered by a King-Sealing will.
• Nie Yun explained that he had deliberately exposed the Ayyena Crystal’s trail so more people would help locate it.
• Nie Yun said the Three Kings’ attention on the crystal would ease the pressure on Nie Tong, who was undertaking a difficult task.

Nie Yun waited for the three King-Sealing representatives and agreed that they would compete for the Ayyena Crystal by strength. When Ruler Gao Yang demanded Mo Ge lead them to it, Nie Yun struck him and warned that using Juesha King’s power too soon could leave Gao Yang unable to complete his mission.

• Spiritual Elegance Emperor identified Starry Night Ruler, Divine Sovereign, and Ruler Gao Yang as the representatives of the three King-Sealing Experts.
• Nie Yun stopped the Pill God Ancient Ship and called out the hidden representatives, prompting Divine Sovereign, Starry Night Ruler, and Ruler Gao Yang to appear.
• Ruler Gao Yang and Starry Night Ruler insisted that whoever seized the Ayyena Crystal would own it, and Nie Yun agreed to compete on those terms.
• Ruler Gao Yang demanded that Nie Yun hand over Mo Ge to lead them to the crystal, but Nie Yun refused.
• Nie Yun slapped Ruler Gao Yang through dozens of planets and warned him that burning Juesha King’s intent early could leave him powerless before the crystal was found.
• Ruler Gao Yang suppressed his fury because he feared failing Juesha King’s mission.

Nie Yun led the Pill God Ancient Ship through a spiritual energy vortex despite warnings, triggering a rare and deadly vortex riot that threatened everyone aboard. As the ship was swallowed by the chaos, Zitong Undestroyable struck Ruler Gao Yang for blaming Nie Yun, leaving their survival uncertain.

• Nie Yun dismissed Ruler Gao Yang after beating him, and Gao Yang swallowed his anger while vowing to take revenge once he found the Ayyena Crystal.
• Nie Yun ordered the Pill God Ancient Ship toward Jue Ming Cave, refusing Mo Ge and Carefree Immortal's advice to detour around a spiritual energy vortex.
• The ship entered the vortex, which erupted into a rare riot of wind blades, a spiritual energy black hole, and shattered space and time.
• Ruler Gao Yang blamed Nie Yun for provoking the riot, and Zitong Undestroyable slapped him before he could finish speaking.

Nie Yun reached Jue Ming Cave while searching for the Ayyena Crystal, removing spirit energy vortices along the way by storing them in his Supreme Domain. At the cave, he split the group up to search its maze-like passages, taking Mo Ge with him.

• Nie Yun casually took a spirit energy vortex into his Storage World, stunning Divine Sovereign, Starry Night Ruler, and Ruler Gao Yang.
• As the Pill God Ancient Ship continued toward Jue Ming Cave, Nie Yun absorbed more than a dozen vortices, strengthening his Storage World.
• Mo Ge confirmed that the Ayyena Crystal had fallen into Jue Ming Cave, and Nie Yun gave him a Defense Ruler Divine Weapon.
• Mo Ge explained that Jue Ming Cave contained a maze of nine caves and eighteen grottos, but he could not recall exactly where he had lost the crystal.
• Nie Yun proposed that everyone search a different passage and took Mo Ge with him into one of the routes.

Nie Yun failed to locate the Ayyena Crystal with the True Blood Royal Crown and suspected a creature had swallowed it. After Mo Ge described where he had lost it, Starry Night Ruler revealed a secret art that could trace Mo Ge’s ancient bloodshed.

• Nie Yun used the True Blood Royal Crown and Heavenly Secret River but could not calculate the Ayyena Crystal’s location, leading him to suspect it was inside a creature.
• Nie Yun and Mo Ge left the passage and reunited with the others, who had found nothing in Jue Ming Cave.
• Divine Sovereign warned that the crystal might be in a special space or swallowed by a lifeform, while Ruler Gao Yang proposed killing creatures and searching their bodies.
• Mo Ge described the ordinary-looking passage where he had lost the crystal, but the group could not identify it from the image.
• Starry Night Ruler questioned Mo Ge about his injuries and bloodshed, then claimed his secret art could trace the blood even after tens of thousands of years.

Starry Night Ruler used the Starry Gold Toad Compass to lead Nie Yun and the others to the place where Mo Ge had lost the Ayyena Crystal. They found no crystal among the destroyed spirit herbs, but Nie Yun discovered signs of a powerful creature inside the cavern.

• Mo Ge gave Starry Night Ruler a drop of blood, and the Gold Toad Compass used it to point toward a narrow passage.
• Starry Night Ruler led the group through the passage, where Mo Ge recognized the route to the place he had lost the Ayyena Crystal.
• Nie Yun found that spirit herbs had once grown near the cavern but had been destroyed, and his search showed that the crystal was not there.
• Mo Ge recalled that a black shadow had attacked him near the herbs and nearly dragged him into the cavern.
• Nie Yun inspected the cavern and found a deep claw mark in the hard rock, indicating that an extremely powerful creature lived inside.

Nie Yun and the Rulers used Divine Sovereign’s Chaos Origin Fruit to lure the Hell Dragon Crab from its cavern, hoping to find the Ayyena Crystal. After Ruler Gao Yang frightened it back inside with an attack, Nie Yun said Gao Yang should burn his King-sealing Mark and search the cavern.

• Divine Sovereign produced a Chaos Origin Fruit and used its fragrance to draw the hidden divine beast toward the cavern entrance.
• Nie Yun stored Mo Ge in his Storage World as the cavern shook and the beast reached for the fruit with one claw.
• The Hell Dragon Crab emerged, and the Rulers recognized it as an ancient, powerful creature adapted to lava and heat.
• Ruler Gao Yang attacked the crab with his Ruler Divine Weapon, prompting it to retreat into the cavern before fully emerging.
• Divine Sovereign rebuked Ruler Gao Yang for driving the crab away, and Nie Yun calmly suggested Gao Yang burn his King-sealing Mark and search for it.

Nie Yun forced Ruler Gao Yang to enter the cavern, where a Devouring Power swallowed him and drove him to burn King-Sealing intent. Nie Yun followed the others down to a black-hole lava lake, where they found the Hell Dragon Crab swimming unharmed and a Giant Octopus attacking the three Rulers.

• Nie Yun confronted Ruler Gao Yang and pressured him to lure the Hell Dragon Crab out or enter the cavern.
• Ruler Gao Yang flew toward the cavern opening, was swallowed by its Devouring Power, and burned King-Sealing intent as he fought below.
• Star Ruler and Divine Sovereign burned King-Sealing intent and entered the cavern, and Nie Yun followed with Fu Anchao and the others.
• Nie Yun used the Heavenly Heart Vine's vines to resist the suction and descended toward a lake of scorching black-hole lava.
• Nie Yun spotted Ruler Gao Yang, Starry Night Ruler, and Divine Sovereign facing a Giant Octopus while the Hell Dragon Crab swam in the lava and blew bubbles.
• The Giant Octopus tore its tentacles from the cavern walls and struck at the three Rulers with force greater than a Ruler's full-force attack.

Nie Yun and the others realized the Hell Dragon Crab’s bubbles suppressed the King-Sealing intent powering Ruler Gao Yang and his allies. The three Rulers revealed their Half-step King-Sealing Divine Weapons, but the bubbles erased their attacks before they could hit the Giant Octopus.

• The Giant Octopus battered Ruler Gao Yang, Starry Night Ruler, and Divine Sovereign despite their burned King-Sealing intent, leaving Nie Yun and the others puzzled.
• The Spiritual Elegance Emperor noticed that the Giant Octopus attacked after the Hell Dragon Crab blew bubbles and concluded that the bubbles suppressed the Rulers’ power.
• Nie Yun and the others realized the bubbles left the three Rulers increasingly helpless, but they could not reach the Hell Dragon Crab past the Giant Octopus.
• Ruler Gao Yang urged Starry Night Ruler and Divine Sovereign to reveal their Half-step King-Sealing Divine Weapons, and all three agreed.
• Ruler Gao Yang, Starry Night Ruler, and Divine Sovereign attacked the Giant Octopus with their weapons, but the Hell Dragon Crab’s bubbles made their beams vanish.

Nie Yun realized the Ayyena Crystal lay in the black-hole lava and planned to seize it while the Hell Dragon Crab fought Gao Yang, Shen Jun, and Xingye. He used Divine Sovereign’s Chaos Origin Fruit to distract the monsters, then attacked the hand holding the fruit with his Nine Nether Bone-Slicing Saber.

• Nie Yun concluded that the Ayyena Crystal was inside the lava and that it empowered the Hell Dragon Crab’s bubbles.
• Nie Yun told Fu Anchao and the others to remain behind and have Myriad Laws Ruler prepare a formation to support him.
• Nie Yun decided to enter the lava while the three Rulers occupied the Hell Dragon Crab, and recalled that the Chaos Origin Fruit could lure it away from spewing bubbles.
• Nie Yun urged Divine Sovereign to bring out the Chaos Origin Fruit, drawing the attention of both the Hell Dragon Crab and the Giant Octopus.
• As Nie Yun plunged downward to evade the Giant Octopus’s tentacle, he struck at Divine Sovereign’s hand holding the fruit with One Sword Ascending Dust.

Nie Yun cut off Divine Sovereign’s hand to drop the Chaos Origin Fruit and lure the Hell Dragon Crab away, then plunged into the black-hole lava to search for the Ayyena Crystal and True Blood Crystal. The Nine Nether Bone-Slicing Saber shielded him for only five breaths, and the dragon crab attacked before he could finish searching.

• Nie Yun severed Divine Sovereign’s hand, sending the Chaos Origin Fruit falling toward the Hell Dragon Crab, then dove into the black-hole lava.
• Divine Sovereign realized Nie Yun had used the fruit to draw the dragon crab away, while Ruler Gao Yang and the others recognized he was after the Ayyena Crystal.
• Starry Night Ruler attacked Nie Yun, but Fu Anchao, Duan Yi, White Head Venerable, Zitong Undestroyable, Carefree Immortal, Myriad Laws Ruler, and Spiritual Elegance Emperor formed a Formation and forced the three great Rulers to defend themselves.
• Nie Yun used the Nine Nether Bone-Slicing Saber to hold back the lava’s heat and began searching for the True Blood Crystal, knowing he had at most five breaths.
• The Hell Dragon Crab struck at Nie Yun, who made two avatars continue searching and countered with the Bone-Slicing Saber, but pale blue light from the crab’s pincer stopped his attack.

Nie Yun fought the Hell Dragon Crab and traced the True Blood Crystal’s power to a strange lump on one of its legs. With only a breath and a half left, he decided to force his way past the crab’s pincer to seize the crystal.

• The Hell Dragon Crab blocked Nie Yun’s saber strike and sent him flying, leaving him with only three breaths to find the crystal.
• Nie Yun recalled his clones and used the Secret-Cut Cross Blade to provoke the crab’s power and spot a faint thread leading from its body.
• Nie Yun reasoned that the True Blood Crystal was wrapped up rather than exposed in the lava, then identified a bulge on one of the crab’s legs as its likely hiding place.
• Nie Yun realized he had only a breath and a half to act and charged straight toward the crab’s pincer.

Nie Yun used the True Blood Royal Crown to break the Hell Dragon Crab’s bubbles and capture the creature, escaping the lava just in time. He returned to find Fu Anchao and the others losing their fight against Ruler Gao Yang’s group, and Ruler Gao Yang demanded that he hand over the Ayyena Crystal.

• Nie Yun slipped past the Hell Dragon Crab’s pincers with the Demon Refining Great Barrier, but its bubbles trapped him before he could cut off its pincer.
• Nie Yun summoned the True Blood Royal Crown, which burst the bubbles and stunned the Hell Dragon Crab; he then swallowed the creature into the crown.
• Nie Yun escaped the lava with the Heavenly Heart Vine, while the defeated Giant Octopus fell into the lava nearby.
• Nie Yun saw Ruler Gao Yang, Divine Sovereign, and the others overpowering Fu Anchao and his group, whose Formation was close to collapsing.
• Nie Yun called for them to stop and returned to Fu Anchao’s side, but Ruler Gao Yang blocked his path and demanded the Ayyena Crystal.

Ruler Gao Yang demanded the Ayyena Crystal and attacked the Carefree Immortal when Nie Yun refused to submit to a scan of his consciousness. Nie Yun healed his ally and challenged Gao Yang, but their first clash left Nie Yun at a disadvantage.

• Ruler Gao Yang, Divine Sovereign, and Starry Night Ruler surrounded Nie Yun and demanded that he hand over the Ayyena Crystal.
• Ruler Gao Yang demanded to scan Nie Yun's sea of consciousness, then struck the Carefree Immortal when he objected.
• Nie Yun healed the Carefree Immortal with Wood Life Qi and confronted Gao Yang over the attack.
• Gao Yang declared that he would kill Nie Yun and drew a Half-step King-Sealing Divine Weapon infused with the Juesha King's aura.
• Nie Yun charged Gao Yang with the Nine Nether Bone-Slicing Saber, but their weapons' collision left Nie Yun struggling against Gao Yang's greater strength.
• Divine Sovereign urged Nie Yun to surrender the Ayyena Crystal after seeing him lose the clash.

Nie Yun fought Ruler Gao Yang, who empowered his attack with Juesha King's will, while Rulers Shen Jun and Xingye chose to watch rather than intervene. After Nie Yun's clones failed to pierce Gao Yang's defense, one revealed a second Half-step King-Sealing Divine Weapon: a crown.

• Ruler Gao Yang unleashed King's Will Empowerment, and Ruler Xingye stopped Ruler Shen Jun from stepping in to help Nie Yun.
• Nie Yun used One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones to create two clones and attack Ruler Gao Yang from three directions.
• Ruler Gao Yang's iron mace struck Nie Yun's true body and made him spit blood, while Fu Anchao and the others held back from rushing to his aid.
• Nie Yun's clones could not break the protective membrane formed by Juesha King's will, and Ruler Gao Yang mocked Nie Yun's trump card.
• One of Nie Yun's clones produced a crown and declared that he had a second Half-step King-Sealing Divine Weapon.

Nie Yun crippled Ruler Gao Yang with his two Half-step King-Sealing Divine Weapons and was about to kill him when Juesha King’s intent appeared in the cavern. Juesha King demanded that Nie Yun release Gao Yang and surrender the Ayyena Crystal, and Nie Yun refused.

• Nie Yun struck Ruler Gao Yang with the True Blood Royal Crown, shattering his bones and leaving him gravely injured.
• Ruler Shen Jun and the Starry Night Ruler decided to stop competing for the Ayyena Crystal and avoid making Nie Yun an enemy.
• Nie Yun withdrew his clones, confronted Gao Yang, and raised the Nine Nether Bone-Slicing Saber to kill him.
• Juesha King’s intent gathered into a gigantic face above the cavern after Gao Yang summoned him for help.
• Juesha King ordered Nie Yun to release Gao Yang and hand over the Ayyena Crystal, threatening to join Ashoka King against him.
• Nie Yun mocked Juesha King’s offer and asked what would happen if he refused.

Nie Yun rejected Juesha King's offer for the Ayyena Crystal as Chaos King and Ashoka King joined the bidding, each offering triple the Asura King's price and the position of envoy. He killed Ruler Gao Yang and shattered Juesha King's manifestation, leaving the three Kings' contest unresolved.

• Juesha King offered Nie Yun double the Asura King's price for the Ayyena Crystal, but Nie Yun refused.
• Chaos King and Ashoka King appeared and each offered triple the price, with Ashoka King also offering Nie Yun a position as envoy to two Kings.
• Juesha King matched their terms, and the Three Great Kings waited for Nie Yun to choose.
• Nie Yun ignored the offers and killed the injured Ruler Gao Yang, severing his river of fate and destroying his soul.
• Juesha King attacked Nie Yun with a sword beam, but Nie Yun brushed it aside and then shattered Juesha King's enormous face with a saber strike.

Nie Yun rejected the Three Great Kings’ demands for the Ayyena Crystal and drove off their envoys, then escaped Jue Ming Cave with his companions. He returned to the Juesha Supreme Domain and began extracting the crystal from the Hell Dragon Crab so he could fuse it with the True Blood Royal Crown.

• Nie Yun destroyed the projections of Juesha King, Ashoka King, and Chaos King after each demanded the Ayyena Crystal.
• Divine Sovereign and Starry Night Ruler abandoned their claim to the crystal and left after Nie Yun challenged them.
• Nie Yun led Fu Anchao and the others out of Jue Ming Cave and back to the Juesha Supreme Domain.
• Nie Yun took the group to a quiet mountain range, entered the Storage World, and approached the Hell Dragon Crab.
• Nie Yun snapped off one of the Hell Dragon Crab’s legs and drew the Ayyena Crystal toward himself.

Nie Yun entered the True Blood Royal Crown after it fused with the True Blood Crystal and rescued Jingxin from the crystal’s powerful Artifact Spirit. As he learned that the spirit was Ayena, the True Blood King, Nie Yun pieced together the crown’s history and refused to let the spirit kill Jingxin.

• The True Blood Royal Crown fused with the True Blood Crystal, and Nie Yun heard Jingxin call for help from inside it.
• Nie Yun entered the crown’s Artifact Spirit space, shattered the attacking spirit’s soul strike, and healed Jingxin.
• Jingxin identified the spirit as Ayena, the True Blood King, and explained that it had taken refuge in the crystal after the crown was shattered.
• Nie Yun deduced that the dormant spirit had awakened after absorbing black-hole lava in Jue Ming Cave and had controlled the Hell Dragon Crab.
• Nie Yun concluded that the three King-Sealing Experts had known Ayena and might have been connected to his death.
• The Artifact Spirit asked Nie Yun not to interfere in the struggle, but Nie Yun refused because Jingxin was his loyal servant.
