With Dao-Comprehension Luminescence and firsthand experience, Bai Yi rapidly learned to wield his Sword Domain and ultimately reproduced Chen Fuye’s No Night strike on his own.

• Bai Yi expanded his Sword Domain to a hundred thousand meters and used thirteen pure Sword Dao Core Patterns to replace the thirty-six True Essence Core Patterns around his Golden Core.
