After reaching the star and seeing its enormous sword scar, the group traveled toward the great Formation as their pursuers landed behind them.

Lu Changsheng revealed the strength of his perfected body tempering by shrugging off a God King's assault and knocking him away, as Indigenous People approached the battlefield.

• Daoist Tuquan swallowed a Helian Family elder's attack and battered him, prompting Helian Tuo and the Third Ancestor to unleash the Four Fiends Formation.

• Lu Changsheng punched the Second-Grade God King into the ruins, and Indigenous People who had noticed the battle began approaching.

Lu Changsheng and the others fled the Ancient Star’s indigenous people, whose chief proved powerful enough to drive back Lin Shiyu and Li Lingfei. In Swordmark Canyon, Lu Changsheng discovered a colossal stele bearing the Azure Emperor’s handwriting and realized it might mark the place where the Emperor had suppressed a powerful being.

• The indigenous people damaged Su Yun's Void Boat, so Lu Changsheng used Spatial Talismans to escape with the group, but the pursuers repeatedly tracked them.
• Lu Changsheng's group jumped to a scorching desert, where Lu Changsheng used the Heavenly Pond Ice Lotus to cool them as they explored the vast mountain ranges.

• The Huangfu and Helian clans surrounded Lu Changsheng, Su Yun, and their companions, but hesitated when they noticed the Eight Desolate Fire Dragon.

• The Indigenous Chief and his clan feared the Evil Spirit’s return while the stranded Helian and Huangfu groups repaired their damaged Void Boat and worried that Su Wudi had escaped.
• On the journey to the Su Clan, Su Wudi offered to teach Lu Changsheng, discovered his physique was comparable to a Second-Rank Dao Artifact, and gave him hundreds of his own cultivation methods.

Su Wudi taught Lu Changsheng the Invincible Divine Art while leading the group back to the Su Clan Ancestral Land. They found the clan’s younger members enslaved by the High Antiquity Helian Family and the High Antiquity Huangfu Family, and Su Wudi led the Su Clan ancestors in killing the occupiers.

After the Su Clan returned, the Helian and Huangfu Lineages retreated into the Void to avoid Su Wudi, while Lu Changsheng’s party stayed with the Su Clan and received rare treasures. Su Wudi’s estrangement from the Alluring Beauty Palace’s master emerged as a possible obstacle to securing her help against the two Lineages.

• A Helian Family Elder reported that the Su Clan had wiped out its stationed members, and the second ancestor ordered the clan to retreat into the Void; the Huangfu Family followed suit.

Meanwhile, the Eight Desolate Fire Dragon returned to the Hundred Thousand Volcanoes and agreed to join the World-Destroying Black Dragon’s campaign against the Human Race’s Holy Lands, while the Helian Family waited for its founding ancestor to master a divine art.

Daoist Tuquan foresaw the assault through fragments of the Canglong's Great Dao, but the attackers arrived before the clan could fully prepare, leaving Su Wudi to face the two ancient leaders.

• Helian Tianji completed his ten-year breakthrough, then ordered Helian Tuo to invite Huangfu Jian to join an attack on the Su Clan and seize its treasures.
