• Su Bai struck the Naga Queen with Abyssal Flame Fist, then swallowed and devoured her.
• Su Bai sensed the Naga Imperial Palace for more Naga to devour and noted that he still needed to devour Shan Yan to advance.

Su Bai ravaged the Naga Imperial Palace and hunted across the Elf World’s oceans for more than a month, driving deep-sea races onto land as he sought enough power to face Shan Yan and Nine Tails. Meanwhile, the siblings aided the World Will against the Evil Law, and Shan Yan reached Peak Deity Transformation by refining a Pseudo Godhead Crystal.

• Su Bai devoured Naga warriors throughout the Imperial Palace and then continued hunting across the ocean, hoping to reach Late Demon Emperor so he could defeat Shan Yan and Nine Tails without revealing his Lu Jiu identity.

• Shan Yan summoned a gigantic flaming Nine-Tailed Fox phantom, but Su Bai struck it with an Abyssal Flame Fist and sent it flying backward.
• Seeing Su Bai’s power, Shan Yan abandoned his plan to fight to the death and proposed that they pretend he had defeated and expelled Su Bai so Su Bai could leave the world.

Su Bai fought Shan Yan and demanded that he hand over Nine Tails as blood food in exchange for leaving the Elf World. Shan Yan seriously considered the bargain, and the chapter ended with Su Bai proposing a Dao Heart Oath.

• Shan Yan weighed the risks of fighting Su Bai and offered to let him leave the Elf World if Su Bai stopped fighting the Devil Race.
• Su Bai mocked Shan Yan, demanded Nine Tails as blood food, and struck the Blazing Fox with an Abyssal Flame Fist.
• Su Bai's corrosive black flames and powerful Demonic Body damaged Shan Yan's Blazing Fox, while Shan Yan's fire could not hurt Su Bai.
• Shan Yan asked whether Su Bai would leave if he handed over Nine Tails, and Su Bai suggested swearing a Dao Heart Oath.
• Shan Yan frowned because he knew a heart oath would not bind the Devil Race.

Su Bai returned to the Elf World with Nine Tails to confront Shan Yan, intending to kill the Peak Deity Transformation cultivator before he could return to the Blue Origin Realm. After keeping Nine Tails out of the fight and capturing the surviving Evil Law, Su Bai drew Shan Yan out and faced him above the sea.

• Nine Tails asked Su Bai to let her watch Shan Yan die, and Su Bai brought her through the Secret Realm passage into the Elf World.
• Su Bai left Nine Tails in a valley, then traveled through the Void Space to a remote sea and transformed into his Late Demon Emperor Demonic Body.
• The weakened Evil Law appeared and begged Su Bai to spare it, so he sealed it inside a Spirit Artifact and stored it in the Spirit Transformation Furnace.
• Shan Yan emerged from a spatial rift, recognized Su Bai, and asked why he had not left.

Su Bai confronted Shan Yan and persuaded him to cooperate by claiming he could send him back to the Blue Origin Realm. Shan Yan demanded proof before helping Su Bai destroy the Elf World Will, and paid him a Bodhi Leaf to make the trip.

• Su Bai revealed that he had returned to the Elf World and announced his plan to destroy its World Will and claim its remaining World Law power.
• Shan Yan opposed the plan because losing the World Will would cut off his return to the Blue Origin Realm, but Su Bai claimed he had learned its coordinates from Nine Tails.
• Su Bai offered to send Shan Yan back to the Blue Origin Realm after they defeated the Elf World Will, and Shan Yan considered the offer despite distrusting him.
• Shan Yan demanded that Su Bai bring his personal guard and the book Great Gan Harem Spring Language from the Red Palace as proof that he could travel to the Blue Origin Realm.
• Su Bai exaggerated the cost of making the journey and asked for compensation, so Shan Yan gave him a Bodhi Leaf containing a small amount of materialized Wood Rule power.

Su Bai left Shan Yan to retrieve a book from the Red Palace and abduct a guard, then returned with both in less than a cup of tea. Shan Yan waited for him, focused on advancing to Void Refining while ignoring the Elf World Will.

• Su Bai used Mental Law to knock out a peak Nascent Soul guard and carried him back with the book.

• Su Bai returned from the Blue Origin Realm with Shan Yan’s guard and a book, and Shan Yan burned the guard to ashes after he recognized Su Bai as a Devil.
• Su Bai showed Shan Yan that he could travel between realms, and Shan Yan handed him a Jade Slip containing the locations of five elf strongholds.
• Su Bai and Shan Yan split up to attack the strongholds, and Su Bai used a spatial rift to reach a hidden Mountain Elf settlement.
• Su Bai summoned the Abyssal Giant and razed the stronghold, burning its elves with Ember Abyss Flame Fire.
• The Elf World Will cried out as the destruction dealt it another heavy blow.

Su Bai and Shan Yan pushed the weakened Elf World into collapse by tearing open its skies and battling its World Will. With the World Will gone, the four Basic Laws ran wild as Void Space devoured the world, while Su Bai waited for the laws to materialize so they could be defeated and sealed.

• Su Bai split the Abyssal Giant into Lesser Abyssal Demons, which spread across the Elf World and slaughtered its inhabitants while he hunted higher lifeforms and the World Will's chosen children of the world.
• After a month of destruction, Su Bai agreed with Shan Yan that the time had come to attack the Elf World Will.
• Su Bai and Shan Yan combined their Divine Abilities to tear open the sky, allowing Void Space to pour into the weakened Elf World as they prevented the World Will from repairing the breach.
• After three days of resistance, the Elf World Will collapsed, leaving the powers of Earth, Wind, Water, and Fire to run wild and devastate the world.
• As Void Space accelerated its devouring of the Elf World, Su Bai guarded the Secret Realm passage and waited with Shan Yan for the four Basic Laws to materialize so they could defeat and seal them.

The Fire Law materialized as a Blazing Firebird and calmed Elf World's erupting volcanoes, but Su Bai and Shan Yan immediately attacked and sealed it. Su Bai kept the Cold Origin Pearl and ordered Shan Yan to provide the treasures for sealing the other laws.

• The Fire Law absorbed Elf World's history and memories from World Will, understood its duty, and stopped the volcanoes from erupting.
• The Fire Law fully materialized as a Blazing Firebird, mourned Elf World's fate, and called the other laws for help when Su Bai and Shan Yan appeared.
• Su Bai and Shan Yan combined their Demonic Essence and mana to suppress the Blazing Firebird and temporarily lock down its rule power.
• Shan Yan shrank the Blazing Firebird and sealed it inside the Cold Origin Pearl, an ice-attributed Houtian Spirit Treasure.
• Su Bai demanded the Cold Origin Pearl, reminding Shan Yan that he wanted to return to Blue Origin Realm, then said Shan Yan would provide treasures to seal the other laws.

• Su Bai changed into human form and entered the Secret Realm passage, then lured Shan Yan into it while concealing his identity.
• Shan Yan recognized the familiar aura beside him in the passage and asked, “Are you Lu Jiu?”

• Shan Yan self-destructed his Primordial Spirit, unleashing a concentrated energy torrent through the passage.

• Su Bai told Nine Tails that Shan Yan was dead, and she mourned her brother before thanking Su Bai.
• Su Bai noted that Burning Heaven City's remaining cultivators could not protect its holdings and asked Nine Tails what she planned to do.

Su Bai ordered Nine Tails to gather the forces in Burning Heaven City and help protect his identity while he sought a way to trade for Law Treasures. Nine Tails explained how Deity Transformation Cultivators exchanged such treasures and promised to tell him when a meet was approaching.

• Nine Tails agreed to gather the forces in Burning Heaven City under her banner.
• Su Bai gave Nine Tails a Bodhi Leaf to help her advance to Late Deity Transformation and told her to use Yin Xue’s help.

Su Bai returned to Copper City, secured the Blazing Firebird, and examined the Pseudo Godhead Crystal. After learning how Deity Transformation Cultivators measured Law Power, he estimated that the crystal and the Fire Law creature each contained about one law, then began trying to divide the crystal into three parts.

• Su Bai agreed that Nine Tails should pursue news of the exchange meeting and left Red Palace through a spatial rift.
• Su Bai returned to an abandoned farmstead outside Copper City, resumed his true appearance, and concealed his cultivation as Nascent Soul Middle Stage.

• Su Bai reviewed the history of the Elf World and reflected on his role in its destruction while studying the Pseudo Godhead Crystal.
• Su Bai learned that the crystal and the Blazing Firebird each contained roughly one law of Law Power, making either too valuable and conspicuous to trade openly.
• Su Bai began infusing the Pseudo Godhead Crystal with Primordial Spirit mana to see whether he could divide it into three.

Su Bai separated the Pseudo Godhead into three Law Crystals and began refining the consciousness inside the Cold Origin Pearl’s materialized Fire Law. Ghost Cry informed him that Lu Jiu had killed Shan Yan, reached a reconciliation with the Crimson Flame Fox Clan, and cleared Su Bai to return to Copper City.

• Su Bai used his spiritual power to split the Pseudo Godhead Crystal into Earth, Wind, and Water Law Crystals, which he stored for a future exchange fair.

Su Bai reviewed Copper City’s achievements, rewarded its Night Watchers, and left Blood Rabbit in charge before traveling to Ghost Cry’s stronghold for the year-end council. He arrived to find himself seated in the place reserved for the previous year’s top-performing Chief Steward, drawing doubtful looks from the other attendees as they waited for Ghost Cry.

• Ghost Cry praised Copper City’s achievements and told Su Bai to bring his report to the stronghold for the year-end council.
• Su Bai examined Copper City’s records, found that deaths caused by demon cultivators had fallen to zero, and prepared a Jade Slip for Ghost Cry.
• Su Bai rewarded the Night Watchers with spirit pills and left Blood Rabbit to manage Copper City in his absence.
• Su Bai traveled by sword to Ghost Cry’s stronghold and reached it in two days.
• A guard led Su Bai into a hall of Chief Stewards and seated him in the first place on the left, prompting skeptical looks from the others.

At Ghost Cry’s annual gathering, Su Bai met Xiao Xiao, a bald heavy-sword Cultivator who questioned his unfamiliar presence and invited him to spar. Yan Yun then approached Su Bai with deference, revealing that he knew of Lu Jiu and sought to build ties with him.
