The curse descended but crumbled before it could taint him, leaving He Pingsheng and Ming Yue wondering whether his greater number of chaos order had made him immune.

• He Pingsheng used barriers and a Chaos Pill as safeguards while fusing with the seventh piece of chaos order in his Daoist grounds.

• The Heavenly Dao’s curse descended, but its karmic light crumbled before touching He Pingsheng.
• Ming Yue suggested that the curse might have failed because He Pingsheng had fused with more chaos order than the Heavenly Dao.
