Fellow Daoists, buckle up—this is *the* chapter where the Seamless Gate plays their assassination card with surgical precision. After hundreds of chapters of Ji Ning steamrolling everything in sight, we finally see what happens when the other side decides to treat him as the number-one threat and brings out their deadliest killer. The Lord of All Demons coordinates a three-layered ambush, the Darklight Swordmaster unleashes his invisible, fate-shrouded blade, and in one silent fan of black light, our protagonist’s true body is erased from existence. This is not a setback—this is a complete, instantaneous annihilation. And the chapter ends with Patriarch Subhuti and Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan raging helplessly against Master Stonerule’s containment. The mood is grim, shocking, and a masterclass in tension reversal.
This is a **breather chapter that turns into a bombshell**. The first half feels calm, almost celebratory, as Ji Ning enjoys starry skies and wine with an old friend. But that calm is the calm before the execution. The Seamless Gate’s internal planning—multiple perspectives, each with their own combat philosophy—reads like a countdown timer. When the Darklight Swordmaster declares Ji Ning’s death as easy as killing a chicken, you *know* something is coming. The real shock is not that they attacked, but that they succeeded so completely. The author’s note hints at the emotional weight of writing this moment. For the reader, this is the moment the stakes change: Ji Ning has lost his true body, his most powerful form. Will he recover via his Primaltwin? That question hangs in the air. A chapter to absorb, reflect, and brace for the fallout.
