Chapter Summaries

After the Central Plains defeat, the Nine Phoenix Realm army attacked Jinghong Martial Academy, but the Martial Dao Heavenly Stele’s barrier resisted its overwhelming assault. The enemy tried to sever the stele from the realm’s power with a sealing Formation, only for the other six Heavenly Steles to reinforce it, leaving the attack stalled.

• After news of the Central Plains defeat arrived, Yang Xuanye moved his Lineage to the Mountain-Splitting Martial Academy, while Yang Xuanwu told the Martial Alliance that Hui had fallen and the Nine Phoenix Realm had surrounded Jinghong Martial Academy.
• Yang Xuanwu showed the Alliance a communication image of Jinghong Martial Academy, where the Martial Dao Heavenly Stele’s barrier withstood the Nine Phoenix Realm army’s combined attacks.
• The Nine Phoenix Crown Prince revealed that the Heavenly Stele drew on the Qiongqi Realm’s power through its connection to the veins of heaven and earth.
• The Sky Fox Saintess proposed severing that connection, and the Nine Phoenix Realm commanders set up the Seventh Tier Absolute Spirit Heavenly Ruins Formation around Jinghong Martial Academy.
• When the sealing Formation dimmed the Jinghong Heavenly Stele’s barrier, the other six Heavenly Steles sent beams of divine light through the seal and restored its strength.

The Nine Phoenix Realm's commanders failed to break the Seven Martial Dao Heavenly Steles and turned to ravaging the Qiongqi Realm, while surviving factions organized resistance around the steles. As the Central Continent fell and the invasion pushed toward the oceans, Yang Tianyou worried that the Lu Wu Realm would face even greater pressure once Qiongqi was conquered.

• The Nine Phoenix Crown Prince and the other commanders learned that the Seven Martial Dao Heavenly Steles could not be broken while the Qiongqi Realm's Martial Dao lineage survived, so they agreed to devastate the realm instead.
• The Nine Phoenix Realm's army split up to destroy factions and Spirit Veins across Qiongqi, while the Xuanxin Sect and other major factions withdrew through Realm Gates, gathered near the steles, or scattered into smaller groups to resist.
• A month later, the Nine Phoenix Realm's army had conquered the Central Continent, destroyed tens of millions of Spirit Veins, and advanced toward the oceans, where its progress slowed.
• Yang Tianyou was relieved that Qiongqi still had a strong resistance force but feared that the Nine Phoenix Realm would use Qiongqi's Realm Gates to attack the Lu Wu Realm from both sides.

The Nine Phoenix Realm’s invasion of the Lu Wu Realm settled into a stalemate while the Yang Household used the respite to grow stronger. Yang Tianyou studied the Innate Fate Diagram’s copying, synthesis, and extraction of Fate, and the chapter explained the different costs of its two methods of obtaining Fate Templates.

• The Nine Phoenix Realm’s armies entered the Lu Wu Realm through numerous Realm Gates, but neither side gained a decisive advantage and the war became a stalemate.
• Yang Tianyou left the Yang Household’s important affairs to Yunhua and focused on synthesizing Fate with the Innate Fate Diagram.
• Yang Tianyou learned that Fate Templates could be created by copying another person’s Fate or by extracting it, and that compatible templates could be combined into higher-level Fate.
• The chapter explained that copied Fate Templates required Primordial Power before bestowal, while extracted templates could be bestowed directly but weakened or removed the source’s Fate and could lower their cultivation.

Yang Tianyou sorted the Fates he had collected from battlefields and copied part of Zhiming’s [Pureblood Divine Beast] Fate to create a new deep-purple [Divine Beast Bloodline] Fate. He left with a powerful Fate that could strengthen Demon Beasts, though copying it had consumed much of his Primordial Power.

• Yang Tianyou finished sorting hundreds of thousands of collected Fates and summoned Zhiming to inspect his Fate Configuration.
• Yang Tianyou saw that Zhiming possessed the deep-purple [Pureblood Divine Beast] Fate and considered giving a copied version to his other six Spirit Beasts.
• Yang Tianyou began copying the Fate with the Creation Brush, but stopped after spending three and a half tenths of his stored Primordial Power.
• Yang Tianyou used five wisps of essence from Zhiming’s Fate to shape a new Fate in the Innate Fate Diagram.
• Yang Tianyou completed the deep-purple [Divine Beast Bloodline] Fate, which could purify a Demon Beast’s bloodline and improve its potential and chances of breaking through.

Yang Tianyou bestowed the [Divine Beast Bloodline] Fate on his Bonded Spirit Beasts and gave powerful purple Fates to the Yang Household’s senior members, prompting them to pursue breakthroughs. After Fengling’s bloodline metamorphosis, Yang Tianyou sent him to Wolf Pool to attempt the Sage Manifestation Realm.

• Yang Tianyou gave Fengling the [Divine Beast Bloodline] Fate, beginning a bloodline metamorphosis that made him sleep for several days.
• Yang Tianyou bestowed the same Fate on Ruoqing, Yuan Ba, Xuanyin, Tongming, and Black and White, awakening powerful bloodlines in each of them.
• Yang Tianyou gave the Old Ancestor the [Sage Manifestation Body] Fate, and she entered seclusion with a Sage Manifestation Pill to attempt a breakthrough.
• Yang Tianyou gave Yang Tianshi the [Sage Manifestation Body] and [Formation Dao Heavenly Pride] Fates, and Yang Tianshi began his breakthrough attempt in Formation Valley.
• Yang Tianyou bestowed purple Fates and prepared resources for Yang Yuqi, Yang Yusheng, Yang Yujin, and other clansmen at the Great Perfection of Spirit Transformation, sending them into seclusion.
• Fengling completed his metamorphosis with a deep-purple [Soul Wolf Bloodline], and Yang Tianyou sent him to Wolf Pool to attempt the Sage Manifestation Realm.

Fengling and many members of the Yang Household broke through to the Sage Manifestation Realm, greatly strengthening the Lineage. Yang Tianyou then considered how to use his dwindling Primordial Power to develop the Formation Hall and prepare a Seventh-Tier Battle Formation.

• Fengling endured the Sage Manifestation Tribulation with his body and Shadow Flash, then broke through and received ninety-seven wisps of Qi of Creation.
• The other six Bonded Spirit Beasts and more than a dozen senior members of the Yang Household broke through to Sage Manifestation within a month.
• Yang Tianyou's Seven-Star Spirit-Raising Formation boosted his combat strength, giving him and Yunhua a trump card capable of unleashing a Void Refinement strike at the cost of Yunhua being severely injured.
• Yang Tianyou saw that less than a tenth of the Primordial Power remained and identified soul-collecting talismans and a Seventh-Tier Battle Formation as urgent needs for the Lineage.
• Yang Tianyou decided to grant Formation Hall members the [Formation Dao Prodigy] Fate, hoping they could develop a Seventh-Tier Battle Formation for the Purple Moon Army within thirty years.

Yang Tianyou strengthened the Yang Household’s Formation Hall and planned the resources needed to form a Void Refinement Legion. After two years of focused work, he perfected a new soul-gathering talisman to address the Lineage’s shortage of Soul-Type Resources.

• Yang Tianyou granted thirty-three Yang Household Formation Masters the [Formation Dao Prodigy] Fate and tasked Yang Tianshi and Tongming with deducing the White Tiger Heaven-Splitting Formation to the Seventh Tier.
• Yang Tianyou assessed the requirements for a Void Refinement Legion and expanded the Purple Moon Army’s resources to increase its Foundation Establishment Cultivators.
• Yang Tianyou identified the shortage of Sage Manifestation generals and Soul-Type Resources as major obstacles to the Purple Moon Army’s development.
• Yang Tianyou entered seclusion and used the Dao Comprehension Space to devise a high-tier soul-gathering Talisman from Talisman Jade, Soul-Gathering Stone, and the Life-and-Death Blade’s intent.
• After two years of work, Yang Tianyou perfected the talisman and named it the Revolving Wheel Soul-Gathering Talisman.

Yang Tianyou refined seven Revolving Wheel Soul-Gathering Talismans as the Nine Phoenix Realm Alliance prepared to attack the Lu Wu Realm. The Alliance disrupted the Lu Wu Realm’s Armillary Sphere, leaving the Spiritvoid Pavilion Master racing to restore it before the war advanced.

• Yang Tianyou refined a sixth-tier low-grade Revolving Wheel Soul-Gathering Talisman after confirming its method and preparing the materials with Yuan Ba's Scarlet Bright Demon Fire and the Creation Brush.
• Yang Tianyou emerged from seclusion after three months with his seventh Talisman as the Nine Phoenix Realm army prepared to attack the Lu Wu Realm.
• The Nine Phoenix Emperor and the Alliance leaders ordered an attack, with Daoist Taiyi assigning the Bai Ze Clan to disrupt the Lu Wu Realm's Armillary Sphere.
• The Spiritvoid Pavilion Master discovered that the Armillary Sphere had stopped working and summoned the Alliance's specialists to investigate.
• A white-haired old man told the Spiritvoid Pavilion Master that an unknown force had shrouded the Armillary Sphere and would take three months to unravel without a forbidden Secret Method.

The Nine Phoenix Realm launched an all-out attack across the Lu Wu Realm, and the Heaven and Earth Sacred Lord struggled to hold the Dry Province Realm Gate against successive enemy forces. With many Realm Gates falling and several regions in chaos, the Lu Wu Realm faced mounting losses and a worsening war.

• The Heaven and Earth Sacred Lord led the defense of the Dry Province Realm Gate and, with the Lu Wu Realm cultivators, grievously wounded a Mountain-Weight Turtle and Mountain Python before their Demon Spirits escaped.
• Another Mountain-Weight Turtle and Mountain Python appeared, and the Heaven and Earth Sacred Lord feared that the Qiankun Holy Land could not hold the gate without reinforcements.
• The Nine Phoenix Realm launched coordinated attacks at more than eight hundred Realm Gates after concealing its forces from the Armillary Sphere, leaving the Lu Wu Realm Alliance with little control over the war.
• The Nine Phoenix Realm concentrated forces to break through major Realm Gates and sent concealed experts into the Lu Wu Realm to open more gates from within.
• The Chaotic Sea, Frostthunder Region, and Eastern Sea remained comparatively secure, while the Eastern Continent, Western Continent, and Southern Sea fell into chaos.
• The Nine Phoenix Realm destroyed thirteen Province-Level Powers in one day, slaughtered hundreds of millions of mortals, and seized countless resources.

Yang Tianyou agreed to have the Yang Household use Zhiming to gather intelligence for the Lu Wu Realm, keeping Zhiming’s identity secret while securing teleportation access and a million Merit. With the intelligence restored, Tianquan True Person ambushed and destroyed a Nine Phoenix Realm squad, leaving him curious about the Yang Household’s methods.

• Yang Tianyou refused to reveal the Yang Household’s intelligence-gathering method, then agreed to take on the task in exchange for access to the Lu Wu Realm’s Teleportation Formations and a million Merit.
• Yang Tianyou asked the Spiritvoid Pavilion Master for Heavenly Secrets Concealment treasures to reduce the risk of the Nine Phoenix Realm discovering the Yang Household’s method.
• After the treasures arrived, Zhiming sent an invisible wave from Purple Moon Mountain that cleared the intelligence fog over the Eastern Continent.
• A Nine Phoenix Realm squad flew toward a Medium Realm Gate in Yongzhou’s Northern River Region, confident that the Lu Wu Realm had failed to detect its earlier attacks.
• Tianquan True Person used his Tianquan Sword Formation to kill the squad, then wondered how the Yang Household had learned its location so precisely.

Zhiming and the Yang Household helped Lu Wu Realm forces locate and kill Nine Phoenix Realm squads, inflicting heavy losses. The Bai Ze Clan divined that the Purple Moon Yang Household was gathering intelligence, and the Nine Phoenix Alliance turned its attention toward the household.

• Zhiming investigated Nine Phoenix Realm cultivators across the Southern Sea, and the Yang Household shared their locations, strength, and routes with Lu Wu Realm powers.
• Lu Wu Realm forces intercepted Nine Phoenix Realm squads across both continents, killing many cultivators and prompting the Alliance to call off its surprise attacks.
• Nine Phoenix Realm leaders asked the Bai Ze Clan to divine how Lu Wu Realm was finding their squads, but Old Bai Ze refused to perform the divination himself.
• Two Bai Ze descendants divined that the Purple Moon Yang Household had a wide-area intelligence-gathering Divine Ability and detected a nearby auspicious-beast bloodline.
• Old Bai Ze ordered them to report the Yang Household's Divine Ability but conceal the auspicious-beast discovery.
• The Nine Phoenix Emperor and other Alliance leaders learned the Yang Household was responsible for their losses, and the King of the Divine Wind Clan showed killing intent.

The Nine Phoenix Alliance sent the Divine Wind Army Corps to invade the Lu Wu Realm and attack Purple Moon Mountain while other legions kept the realm’s Void Refinement experts occupied. The Heaven and Earth Sacred Lord sacrificed his treasures to stop the corps at the Dry Province Realm Gate, but its commander survived and entered the Lu Wu Realm.

• The Nine Phoenix Emperor and other leaders agreed to destroy the Yang Household, and the King of the Divine Wind Clan volunteered his army as the vanguard.
• Daoist Taiyi confirmed that the Lu Wu Realm’s Void Refinement fighters were under guard, and the Divine Wind Army Corps received orders to attack Purple Moon Mountain through the Dry Province Realm Gate.
• The Nine Phoenix Alliance advanced across its war zones, while the Divine Wind Army Corps emerged into the World Interstice and overwhelmed the defenders with its presence.
• The Heaven and Earth Sacred Lord ordered a retreat, burned his Essence Blood, and shattered the Heaven and Earth Bow and Heaven-Shaking Arrow to launch a powerful attack.
• The Divine Wind Army Commander transformed into a Wind-Thunder Griffin and drew power from the Divine Wind Clan soldiers to block the black arrow.
• After surviving the strike, the Wind-Thunder Griffin flew through the Realm Gate into the Lu Wu Realm.

Yang Tianyou secured the Lu Wu Army's aid against the approaching Divine Wind Army Corps and briefed the eleven Province-Level Powers on the Nine Phoenix Realm's forces. He revealed hidden strength on Purple Moon Mountain, including a Sixth-Tier Upper-Grade Spirit Vein, leaving the gathered leaders stunned.

• Yang Tianyou persuaded the Spiritvoid Pavilion Master to send the Lu Wu Army to protect the Yang Household, and learned that the Heaven and Earth Sacred Lord had died and the Qiankun Holy Land had fallen.
• The Spiritvoid Pavilion Master told Yang Tianyou that Lin Yingyue and powerful Devil Cultivators had infiltrated the Nine Phoenix Realm.
• Yang Tianyou warned the leaders of the eleven Province-Level Powers that the Divine Wind Army Corps and other Nine Phoenix Realm forces were advancing on the Purple Moon War Zone.
• Yang Tianyou reassured the frightened leaders that the Lu Wu Army would face the Divine Wind Army Corps and distributed intelligence about the enemy's strength.
• Yang Tianyou revealed powerful Sage Manifestation auras on Purple Moon Mountain and a Sixth-Tier Upper-Grade Spirit Vein, shocking the gathered leaders.

Yang Tianyou ordered the Purple Moon War Zone's forces to withdraw to Purple Moon Commandery and prepare for battle as the Divine Wind Army arrived. The battle began above Purple Moon Mountain, where the Purple Moon Army and Wolf Ancestor fought the invading Nine Phoenix Realm forces.

• Yang Tianyou ordered the White Cloud Sect, Heavenly Separation Palace, Cloudwater Sect, and Fire Spirit Palace to retreat to Purple Moon Commandery and abandon the Mo Province Realm Gate.
• The Divine Wind Army found the nearby provinces deserted, then arrived at Purple Moon Commandery alongside the Nine-Phoenix Realm Experts.
• The Lu Wu Army and Divine Wind Army clashed above Purple Moon Mountain while Yang Yusheng led the Purple Moon Army First Legion against a powerful Divine Wind Clan expert.
• Yang Tianyou directed his allies to hold back some enemy experts and draw the rest into Purple Moon Mountain's core region.
• Wolf Ancestor used the Blood Moon Secret Realm to overwhelm a Mid Sage Manifestation opponent, shielded himself from a rescuer's attack with Bai Feng Wolf King's Golden Tortoise Shield, and destroyed both the opponent's body and soul.

Wolf Ancestor killed a Divine Wind Clan expert, while Yang Tianyou unleashed Purple Moon Mountain’s fully powered Lesser Celestial Circuit Star Sword Formation against the invading army. Twelve immense Star Sword Dragons attacked more than fifty Divine Wind Clan experts, as Yang Tianyou sought to annihilate them and establish the Purple Moon Yang Household’s supremacy.

• Wolf Ancestor killed a Mid Sage Manifestation Divine Wind clansman with one strike, stunning the Silver-Tailed Sky Cat King and the Azure Flame Spirit Lion King.
• Two Late Sage Manifestation Divine Wind Clan experts joined forces to attack Wolf Ancestor and exploit the Golden Tortoise Shield’s limited coverage.
• Yang Tianyou and the cultivators on Purple Moon Mountain activated the Lesser Celestial Circuit Star Sword Formation at full power, with the Heaven-Connecting Beacon-Fire Sword as its core anchor.
• The formation gathered its Three Hundred and Sixty-Five Star Sword Qi Blades into twelve enormous Star Sword Dragons and sent them against the Divine Wind Clan experts.
• Yang Tianyou revealed that he had let the invading forces enter Purple Moon Commandery so the Yang Household could destroy them and establish its reputation.

Yang Tianyou’s Star Sword Dragons devastated the Divine Wind Clan’s attacking forces, while his talismans gathered the fallen souls into valuable Soul Liquid. As the dragons faded, he led a counterattack with his wife and household members, confronting the wounded Feng Dao with his Annihilation Blade.

• The twelve Star Sword Dragons tore through the Divine Wind Clan’s ranks as the Yang Household’s formation weakened the invaders.
• Yang Tianyou activated seven Revolving Wheel Soul-Gathering Talismans, which absorbed remnant souls and refined them into Soul Liquid.

• Yang Tianyou ordered the Old Ancestor, Thirteenth Brother, and Zhiming to stay behind, then led the others and his wife into battle.
• Yang Tianyou unleashed his Annihilation Blade, and Feng Dao recognized the extraordinary strength of the Yang Household’s ruler.

Yang Tianyou defeated Feng Dao and led the Yang Household into a battle against the Divine Wind Army Corps. With the Lu Wu Army and the Beacon-Fire Sword joining his and Yunhua’s attacks, the army was struck by three Void Refinement-level assaults, leaving its fate hanging in the balance.

• Feng Dao burned his Essence Blood and unleashed his bloodline, but Yang Tianyou crushed his Divine Wind Shadow-Escaping Sword and survived his Thunder with the White Emperor Indestructible Body.
• Yang Haoyu used the Eight Extremes Star Curtain Formation to block Feng Dao’s escape, and Yang Tianyou killed him after his bloodline’s backlash weakened him.

• The Divine Wind Army Commander and his army were immobilized by the Lu Wu Army’s divine light as Yang Tianyou’s blade and the Beacon-Fire Sword cut through them.

Yang Tianyou and the Lu Wu Army Corps destroyed the Divine Wind Army Corps and wiped out the invading Nine-Phoenix Realm experts at Purple Moon Mountain. After the battle, the Lu Wu Army Commander praised Yang Tianyou, who noticed that the commander possessed two Fates.

• The Lu Wu Army Commander approached Yang Tianyou and praised his strength and the Yang Household's Formation system.
• Yang Tianyou inspected the Lu Wu Army Commander's Fates and saw Martial Virtue Enters Fate and Military Sha Sacred Body.

Yang Tianyou recognized the value of the Lu Wu Army commander's Military Sha Sacred Body and Martial Virtue Enters Fate, which could strengthen the Yang Household's generals. He offered the commander generous compensation for permission to take something from him, and revealed that he wanted his Destiny.

• Yang Tianyou assessed how the Military Sha Sacred Body and Martial Virtue Enters Fate could benefit the Purple Moon Army's generals.
• He decided to obtain both Fates, while considering the risks and limits involved in bestowing Fates.
