This chapter opens with a soliloquy about how boring it is to see people think they're so talented. He says that his cultivation never progressed beyond the realm of the gods, so he never commanded a realm of his own. He compares this to the world of the upper world, where world lords can use their power to take down the lower world lords. He also says that the little monster isn't human at all, and that there's nothing they can do to stop him. He's worried that the emperor of the dayu kingdom will come down and kill him just to save his face. The emperor says that it's a normal thing for two cultivators to admit defeat in a fight, especially when the other is a little monster. He points out that the two of them have been fighting for a long time, and they've both suffered injuries in the fight. He suggests that they should just settle the fight in one more fight. The two men decide to fight one more time. The narrator says that he still has one more attack, but he doesn't know how to do it. He feels like he's about to be killed by the monster, and he wonders if the monster is trying to destroy his soul with the power of the world.
