Chapter Summaries

Ji Zining and her companions crossed a series of disturbing scenes in the secret realm but found no opportunities, leading Ji Zining to decide to break the world apart. She unleashed the seventh layer of the Seven Orifices Exquisite Immortal Art and struck upward with the Immortal-Slaying Sword.

• Ji Zining, Xiao Jing, Mo Shang, and the others entered a valley filled with the remains of powerful beings and suspected they belonged to the vengeful souls they had encountered.
• Ji Zining led the group through a cave and onward through more than twenty eerie locations, including a magma ocean, blood-red land, and sea of blood.

• Ji Zining activated the seventh layer of the Seven Orifices Exquisite Immortal Art and swung the Immortal-Slaying Sword upward with the Heaven-Slaying Sword-Drawing Technique.

• Ji Zining struck the distant sky with the Immortal-Slaying Sword, shattering the beautiful world and revealing the darkness beyond it.

• A gigantic hall appeared, with enormous furniture and a damaged green figure seated on a throne.
• Ji Zining confronted the figure and asked if He had sent them through the illusory worlds.

Ji Zining confronted the green, broken figure, who recognized her as Empress Linglong’s successor and attacked her. As Mo Shang and the others fled the secret realm, Ji Zining unleashed the Abyssal Spirit Hall and the Immortal-Slaying Sword against the half-step Great Emperor.

• Ji Zining identified the green, broken figure as the being who had prevented another Great Emperor from appearing in the All Heavens and Myriad Realms.

• Ji Zining pushed Mo Shang, Xiao Jing, and the others away, and they fled toward the secret realm’s exit while deciding to evacuate the heavenly prides from the Heavenly Pride Battlefield.
• Ji Zining realized the figure had half-step Great Emperor strength and summoned the Emperor weapon Abyssal Spirit Hall to suppress him.
• Ji Zining charged with the Immortal-Slaying Sword and struck the figure with the Heaven-Slaying Sword-Drawing Technique as the Abyssal Spirit Hall came down.

Ji Zining kept the green, battered figure pinned beneath the Abyssal Spirit Hall and rejected its offer to restore its power by devouring the living beings of the chaos. She resolved to slay it completely, though it mocked her chances as a First-Level Quasi-Emperor.

• The green, battered figure resisted Ji Zining’s sword attacks until the Abyssal Spirit Hall slammed it into the ground and suppressed it.

• Ji Zining condemned the figure’s plan, saying she wanted to use her power to protect what she cared about, and asked how she should deal with it.
• Ji Zining called on the Immortal-Slaying Sword and vowed to kill the figure, which mocked her strength while remaining trapped beneath the Abyssal Spirit Hall.

• Ji Zining ignored the figure’s attempt to negotiate and repeatedly stacked her sword technique to attack Him.
• Their fighting destroyed the hall and secret realm, carrying them into the Heavenly Pride Battlefield.
• After several hours, the figure was covered in sword marks and His presence had weakened.

Ji Zining continued attacking the battered green figure while the heavenly prides evacuated the Heavenly Pride Battlefield. As the figure neared destruction, the system announced that her check-in cooldown had ended.

• Ji Zining rejected the battered green figure's pleas and struck him again with the Immortal-Slaying Sword and Heaven-Slaying Sword-Drawing Technique.
• Mo Shang, Xiao Jing, and the others organized the evacuation of the Heavenly Pride Battlefield after a deadly pressure forced even defiant heavenly prides to flee.
• After the evacuation finished, Mo Shang and Xiao Jing stayed behind to receive Ji Zining, while Li Chang'an, Lin Shan, and Qingshuang left to report what had happened.
• Ji Zining continued attacking until the battered green figure had become an irregular sphere whose presence was nearly gone.
• The system told Ji Zining that her check-in cooldown had ended and asked whether she wanted to check in.

Ji Zining used her newly unlocked sign-in and received a special-grade cultivation infusion across all three aspects, dramatically raising her strength. After reaching the peak Quasi-Emperor realm in spiritual power, divine soul, and physical body, she prepared to face the battered enemy again.

• Jun Yi noticed the world becoming more complete, and Ji Zining sensed that the Heavenly Pride Battlefield’s laws were changing after the battered green figure’s destruction.

After Ji Zining killed the battered green figure, the rules of heaven and earth began recovering in the Heavenly Pride Battlefield and the True Martial Dao Domain, raising hopes that Great Emperors could emerge again. Ji Zining realized the rules might be healing across the All Heavens and Myriad Realms, and ended by suspecting the True Martial Dao Domain was undergoing a Spiritual Qi recovery.

• Ji Zining realized the recovering rules could restore the True Martial Dao Domain's cultivation environment and trigger a Spiritual Qi recovery.

• After meeting Ji Chenkong and Chen Qingqian in Flowing Moon City, Ji Zining began secluded cultivation and vowed not to emerge until she reached the Great Emperor Realm.

After a month of cultivation, Ji Zining comprehended the complete Law of the Sword and Law of Force and became the True Martial Dao Domain’s first Great Emperor. She then broke through the chaos into the realm of Void, learned what lay beyond, and returned home to spend time with those she cared about.
