• The three Grandmasters struggled against the third domain’s mountain formations while Fu Henghua recovered from creating Xuanjian True Person’s eyes.

There, Tao Ming challenged the Heavenly Evil Sword and urged Heng Hua to learn his precise sword technique before the time ran out.

The Qiankun Pavilion Master’s teleportation array finally brought them to the Sword-Dueling Palace, where Fu Henghua and Tao Ming demonstrated their new sword techniques and Fu Henghua called Ai Yanchang to begin.

• The three Sword Saints arrived on Hundred Flowers Island and took their places with their respective factions as they prepared for the next day’s duel.

• Fu Danwei and Ai Yanchang argued over the Eastern Sea Sword Sect’s treatment of disciples who wanted to study the Dao Sword path, while Fu Henghua’s absence delayed the formal duel.
• The Qiankun Pavilion Master opened a transposition array to bring Fu Henghua and Tao Ming from the Western Sea, but dragon beasts from the Yaoguang Secret Realm came through first.
• Fu Henghua and Tao Ming appeared among the dragon beasts, coordinated their wind and sun-moon sword arts to destroy them, and then Fu Henghua challenged Ai Yanchang to begin the duel.

Fu Henghua used a forbidden art to transform into wind and duel Ai Yanchang, evading his powerful sword while slowly wearing down his defenses. As the duel continued, Fu Danwei recognized the dangerous methods behind Henghua’s transformation and wondered whether the crystal between his brows was an Origin Pearl.

• Fu Henghua transformed into wind and used storms, sword rain, and a Wind Sword Domain to challenge Ai Yanchang’s sea-based sword arts.
• Ai Yanchang broke the Wind Sword Domain, split his flying sword into sixteen, and trapped Fu Henghua’s apparent form, but Henghua escaped and bound the sword in a vortex of wind qi.
• The observers judged that Fu Henghua’s limited mana made it difficult for him to damage Ai Yanchang, though his wind form let him avoid being struck.
• Fu Danwei identified Henghua’s Thought-Cutting, Emotion-Locking Art and Molting Transformation into Origin Art, then showed Bai Hezi and Liu Yang notes Henghua had written as a child about transforming into primordial forces and even the Heavenly Dao.
• Fu Henghua continued using elaborate wind sword arts to evade Ai Yanchang and gradually destroy the protective runes on his clothes without taking a hit.

Fu Henghua fought Ai Yanchang through the night, using his Wind-Spirit Heavenly Sword to turn Ai Yanchang’s attacks against him. As Ai Yanchang drew on the Eastern Sea to unleash his Nine-Dragon Divine Sea Realm, Fu Henghua revealed a final sword bearing the Heavenly Sword’s name and brought it down on his shield.

• Tao Ming explained that his training with Fu Henghua had let him glimpse the Sword Saint level, and he declared that he would face Fu Danwei if no one else stepped forward.
• Fu Henghua repeatedly sealed Ai Yanchang’s Deepsea Sword and attacked with Wind Spirit Sword Qi, keeping up the exchange until his wind butterflies tore through Ai Yanchang’s protective robe.
• Ai Yanchang unleashed Sea Dragon Devours Heaven and thrust his Jade Radiance Sword toward Fu Henghua’s brow, but Fu Henghua used Sword Spirit Seizes the Dao to absorb the attack’s attributes and send foreign Sword Qi into Ai Yanchang.
• Ai Yanchang expelled the foreign Sword Qi with Nine Dragons Seize Heaven, then invoked the Nine-Dragon Sword Intent and drew on the Eastern Sea to form the Nine-Dragon Divine Sea Realm.
• Fu Henghua revealed the final move of his Wind-Spirit Heavenly Sword Formula and sent a gigantic five-colored blade, which Mu Shansheng recognized as the Heavenly Sword, crashing toward Ai Yanchang’s sword shield.
