• Xu Fan extracted the Dao Artifact Spirit Sword’s spiritual intelligence, and Clone Number One suggested splitting it up to double Grape’s happiness.

Xu Fan discovered a vast Spirit Ore Treasure Vault in the Dao Artifact Palace and gathered enough resources to advance his plans and refine an Immortal Artifact sword. He then joined Li Xingci in abducting talented Demon Race heirs and brought nearly a thousand captives back to the Hidden Spirit Sect for interrogation.

• Xu Fan and his clones entered the Dao Artifact Palace’s Artifact Refining Hall, found several Spiritual Fires, and opened the Spirit Ore Treasure Vault, whose riches exceeded his expectations.

• Zhan Ling exchanged one demon for every thirty thousand humans, and the Four Great Demon Venerables retrieved their people after the thirty million young humans returned behind the Great Iron Wall.

• Xu Fan ordered Grape to bombard the Four Great Demon Clans’ gathering place and learned from Li Xingci that the Demon Venerables would gather within three months.
• Li Xingci offered to sacrifice important pieces to delay the demons by half a month while Xu Fan’s team finished forging a Dao Artifact.

• Li Leihu took Eryuan toward Class Two, intending to ask its students for food, despite her objection that their classes were mortal enemies.

Xu Fan prepared Pangolin to return to the Demon World while the Artifact Refining Grandmasters worked on the Orbital Cannon. In the Nine Phoenix Dynasty, Feng Changning recruited a reincarnated Artifact Refining Grandmaster to help establish an artifact-refining system and serve as the dynasty’s Chief Artifact Refining Grandmaster.

• Xu Fan told Pangolin to stir up trouble in the Demon World and promised to send him there with protective Dao Artifacts.
• Xu Fan checked the Orbital Cannon’s progress and warned the Artifact Refining Grandmasters that two Demon Venerables had arrived among the Four Great Demon Clans.
• Feng Changning visited a five-year-old boy she believed was the reincarnation of a Great Grandmaster in Artifact Refining, and he praised the puppet she showed him.
• The boy offered to create a system for training Artifact Refiners and said he would help Feng Changning establish an Immortal Dynasty.
• The boy asked Feng Changning to appoint him the permanent Chief Artifact Refining Grandmaster of Nine Phoenix Dynasty and let him oversee the country’s Magic Treasure production, and she agreed.

Little Boy recruited Feng Changning with promises of helping her build an Immortal Dynasty, while Xu Fan prepared Hidden Spirit Island’s defenses against the approaching Demon Venerables. Xu Fan armed the Heavy Water Origin Blade and prepared the Five Spirit Bright Monkey to face the final enemy, leaving the blade drawn above the island.

• Little Boy awakened Number One’s independent consciousness and told Feng Changning that her Immortal Dynasty could rise once he reached the Golden Core Stage.
• Xu Fan worked on the Demon Suppressing Star and ordered Grape to fire the Main Cannon and the stars if Demon Venerables gathered outside the Great Iron Wall.

• Xu Fan drew the Heavy Water Origin Blade, manifesting a Black Heavy Sea Phantom above Hidden Spirit Island.

Xu Fan prepared the Five Spirit Bright Monkey to wield the Heavy Water Origin Blade and face eight Demon Venerables threatening the Great Iron Wall. When the Demon Venerables attacked, the Human Race Venerables and the transformed Back Sword Youth prepared to fight them.

• Xu Fan inscribed Immortal Script Arrays into the Five Spirit Bright Monkey's True Spirit, binding it to the Heavy Water Origin Blade and warning that its cultivation would collapse in three years if no battle occurred.
• Grape reported that eight Demon Venerables had approached the Great Iron Wall beyond the Demon Suppressing Star's ability to target, and Xu Fan sent the Five Spirit Bright Monkey to join the defenders.
• Zhan Ling confronted the Demon Venerables, while the Great Iron Wall absorbed the Dragon-shaped Centipede's poisonous attack.
• The transformed Five Spirit Bright Monkey appeared beside Zhan Ling, and the Giant Armor Demon Venerable revealed its true form to shield the others from the Main Cannon.
• After three Main Cannon shots only slightly injured the Giant Armor Demon Venerable, the other seven Demon Venerables revealed their true forms and charged the Great Iron Wall.
• The Back Sword Youth assigned three Demon Venerables to Zhan Ling, two to himself, and the remaining three to Tiger Roar Venerable and Venerable Ling Xiu.

Xu Fan controlled the Youth with a Back Sword and used the Heavy Water Origin Blade to drive off eight Demon Venerables from the Great Iron Wall. He warned that the battle had drained much of the Five Spirit Bright Monkey's Origin Essence, then considered lending the blade to Zhan Ling so he could fight through the next eight days.

• Xu Fan wielded the Heavy Water Origin Blade to sever Moon Fox Venerable's tails as the Demon Venerables attacked him and tried to seize the Immortal Artifact.
• Xu Fan evaded the Demon Venerables' attacks, cutting tails, five legs from Dragon-shaped Centipede Demon Venerable, and a wing from Cloud Crane Demon Venerable before Frost Wolf Demon Venerable ordered a retreat.
• Xu Fan told Zhan Ling that using the blade had consumed much of the Five Spirit Bright Monkey's Origin Essence and that the body could fight that way only twice more.
• Zhan Ling proposed absorbing a Demon Venerable's Origin Essence and wielding the blade to hold off five opponents; Xu Fan considered the plan and asked whether Zhan Ling could last eight days.
• Xu Fan and Zhan Ling agreed to return to the Great Iron Wall so Zhan Ling could prepare, and Xu Fan reminded him that the Immortal Artifact belonged to Chufan.

Xu Fan and Zhan Ling tested the Heavy Water Origin Blade before rushing to stop Demon Venerables from attacking Hidden Spirit Island. Xu Fan killed two Demon Venerables with the Five Spirit Bright Monkey, while Zhan Ling went to aid Venerable Ling Xiu after the remaining enemies withdrew.

• Xu Fan forged a ring that let Zhan Ling wield the Heavy Water Origin Blade temporarily, and the two powers fused when Zhan Ling took hold of it.
• When four groups of Demon Venerables attacked the Great Iron Wall, Xu Fan assigned the defenses and flew with Zhan Ling to confront the second group.
• After seeing cities destroyed by the Dragon-shaped Centipede Demon Venerable, Xu Fan used the Five Spirit Bright Monkey to kill it with a blade strike that ensnared its mind.
• Zhan Ling killed the Wood Mouse Demon Venerable with the Heavy Water Origin Blade and absorbed the True Spirits and blood qi of both foes.
• Zhan Ling reached Venerable Ling Xiu after the Demon Venerables withdrew and wondered whether devouring him would strengthen his Blood Sea.

After helping repel the Demon Venerables, Xu Fan prepared an Orbital Cannon to protect Hidden Spirit Island and learned that Moon Fox Demon Venerable had returned to the Demon World for aid. Xu Fan planned to exploit the situation and waited for the next confrontation while Zhan Ling returned the Heavy Water Origin Blade and asked about Xu Fan’s final strike.

• Zhan Ling explained that he had swallowed two Demon Venerables, and he and Venerable Ling Xiu returned to their defensive zones after the enemy retreated.
• Xu Fan learned that Demon Venerables had destroyed 26 Human Giant Cities, then felt relieved when a Demon Suppressing Star carrying an Orbital Cannon reached its position.
• Moon Fox Venerable persuaded the other Demon Venerables to support his return to the Demon World, promising them Dao Artifacts and the use of his clan’s Immortal Artifact.
• Li Xingci told Xu Fan that Moon Fox Demon Venerable had vanished from the Holy City, and Xu Fan decided to wait for him while keeping the Great Killer unused.
• Zhan Ling returned the Heavy Water Origin Blade for Chufan to recognize as its master, then asked Xu Fan about the Divine Ability behind his final blade strike.

Xu Fan explained why the Hidden Spirit Sect’s Inner Sect assessment favored resilience and late-blooming talent over early brilliance. On Outer Sect Island, Bai Xuan and Qin Lu continued to question why they had failed to enter the Inner Sect, while Xu Fan looked ahead to freeing a Venerable and finally finding peace.

• Xu Fan revised the Floating Life Leading Dream ability for Zhan Ling, turning its sweet dreams into nightmares.
• Li Xingci asked Xu Fan about the Outer Sect Academy’s stronger disciples, and Xu Fan explained that the Inner Sect assessment measured resilience and strength in desperate circumstances.
• Xu Fan said Bai Xuan and Qin Lu had failed the Inner Sect assessment because their devotion to the Sect had limits, though they were talented Outer Sect disciples.
• Bai Xuan and Qin Lu fought on Outer Sect Island, then wondered why they had not entered the Inner Sect and resolved to test themselves against its disciples someday.
• Xu Fan said he still needed to free a Venerable before peace could begin, and Xu Yuexian joined him for drinks.

Xu Fan showed Zhan Ling the Orbital Cannon’s power and sent Heavenly Puppet Masters out to hunt Demon Beasts. As he watched their battles, he highlighted mortal commanders and puppet controllers whose skills reached extraordinary heights.

• Xu Yuexian toasted Xu Fan, and he promised to have a Treasure Artifact made for her so she could take the Star Vessel on a trip.
• Xu Fan locked the Orbital Cannon onto Zhan Ling to demonstrate its threat, then canceled the lock after Zhan Ling felt its killing aura.
• Xu Fan issued a hunting mission to Third-Rank Heavenly Puppet Masters and above, sending tens of thousands of Puppets beyond the Great Iron Wall.
• Xu Fan told Zhan Ling that the game had over ten million Third-Rank Heavenly Puppet Masters and that their number could grow beyond a hundred million within a decade.
• Xu Fan showed Zhan Ling a young mortal girl commanding Puppets with exceptional skill, and he said keeping such mortals alive beyond their natural lifespans came at too great a price for now.
• Zhan Ling watched a Swordsman Puppet evade Spirit Transformation Stage Demon Beasts and wound them with every strike, and Xu Fan called its controller someone who had reached the limit of Mortals.

Xu Fan recognized Sui Ying’s exceptional skill controlling a Spirit Transformation Stage Swordsman Puppet and visited him to help him overcome the limits imposed by his Mortal body. He presented a strange coffin-like Treasure Artifact as the means to break through.

• Xu Fan explained to Zhan Ling that skilled Mortals could eventually command powerful Puppets, though Zhan Ling himself was better suited to wielding an Immortal Artifact.
• Sui Ying’s Swordsman Puppet killed more than ten Spirit Transformation Stage demons, then slaughtered several hundred Earth Bears; Sui Ying continued fighting despite feeling he had reached his limit.

• Xu Fan met Sui Ying at his home, confirmed that his Mortal body limited his Puppet control, and produced a coffin-like Treasure Artifact to help him break through.

Xu Fan discovered a gifted Spirit Planter whose mutated crops showed the benefits of Merit and Fortune, and ordered the sect to support his breeding work. Meanwhile, the humiliated Moon Fox Demon Venerable slaughtered a small clan and began gathering resources to hire reinforcements against the humans.

• Sui Ying thanked Xu Fan for giving him a Gaming Pod that let him control Integration Stage Puppets, and Xu Fan urged him to keep fighting the Demon Race.
• A struggling young Spirit Planter found that all his Spirit Rice had mutated, producing three times the usual yield and unusually potent ordinary grains.
• Xu Fan examined samples collected from the field, linked the mutation to Merit and Fortune, and ordered Grape to give the Spirit Planter special support for breeding.
• After the Strong Ox Clan mocked and dismissed him, the Moon Fox Demon Venerable slaughtered a small clan and vowed revenge on the human race.
• The Moon Fox Demon Venerable returned to his Holy City and planned to use his clan's Immortal Artifact-grade Spirit Ore mine and inherited Dao Artifacts to recruit Demon Venerables against the Great Iron Wall.

Xu Fan waited for the Moon Fox Demon Venerable to gather allies for an assault on the Great Iron Wall while developing the Virtual Reality Game’s future expansion packs. The chapter ended as Grape announced that Ten Thousand Kingdoms Hegemony had begun.

• Li Xingci told Xu Fan that the Moon Fox Demon Venerable planned to recruit six powerful Demon Venerables and use the clan’s treasures to attack the Great Iron Wall.
• The Moon Fox Demon Venerable offered his clan’s treasures to the assembled Demon Venerables in exchange for their help destroying the humans, and they agreed to wait for reinforcements.
• Xu Fan created chocolate with his Ten Thousand Marvelous Words Divine Ability, then watched Mortal Dynasties battle in the Virtual Reality Game.

• Xu Fan asked Grape to bring a boy with Pill Refining Grandmaster talent to Pill Refining Peak, and Grape announced that Ten Thousand Kingdoms Hegemony had begun.

Xu Fan used the Orbital Cannon to repel the Demon Venerables and rout the Demon Race Army attacking the Great Iron Wall. With the Moon Fox Venerable still unharmed, Xu Fan sent Zhan Ling to finish off the wounded foes and postponed aiding the other Two Realms Passage.

• After ten Demon Venerables gathered in Moon Fox Holy City, Xu Fan gave Zhan Ling the Heavy Water Origin Blade and prepared the Orbital Cannon as the Demon Race Army advanced on the Great Iron Wall.
• The Moon Fox Demon Venerable led the charge, and Xu Fan refused Zhan Ling’s offer to fight, choosing to use the cannon instead.
• The Giant Armor Demon Venerable blocked the first cannon shot, but Xu Fan fired again and destroyed him, then killed two more Demon Venerables and grievously wounded several others.
• The surviving Demon Venerables and Demon Race Army fled, while Xu Fan sent Zhan Ling to hunt down the wounded and told Ning Dao to wait before he helped at the other Two Realms Passage.
• Xu Gang asked Xu Fan whether Divine Ability Secret Techniques could achieve power like the Orbital Cannon.

Xu Fan’s forces defeated the Moon Fox Holy City’s Demon Venerables and seized its treasures, while Li Xingci let the Moon Fox Demon Venerable return to the Demon World under a bargain. Xu Fan then turned his attention to the other Two Realms Passage, met Venerable Jin Shi, and reassured Zhan Ling that the Orbital Cannon could still hit intangible targets.

• Xu Fan gave Xu Gang an advanced Thunder Cannon divine ability called Sister Cannon’s Glimpse of Spring.
• After Zhan Ling killed another Demon Venerable, the wounded Blood Bat, Giant Lizard, and Evil Abyss Demon Venerables returned to Moon Fox Holy City and accused the Moon Fox Demon Venerable of betraying them.
• An Orbital Cannon killed the Blood Bat Demon Venerable and wounded the Moon Fox Demon Venerable, while the Giant Lizard and Evil Abyss Demon Venerables escaped through the Two Realms Passage.
• Li Xingci allowed the Moon Fox Demon Venerable’s concubine to carry him and their cub back to the Demon World in exchange for her future loyalty to the Hidden Spirit Sect, as Puppets swept through the city and exterminated the Moon Fox Demon Clan there.
• Xu Fan secured the city’s Spirit Ore and materials, promised Dao Artifacts to Zhan Ling, Tiger Roar Venerable, and Venerable Ling Xiu, and ordered Grape to move the Orbital Cannon above another Two Realms Passage.
• Xu Fan met Venerable Jin Shi, who warned him of a flaw in the Orbital Cannon, and told Zhan Ling that the weapon could still strike targets that became intangible.

Zhan Ling and the Middle-aged Butcher joined an extermination mission while Xu Fan prepared the Pangolin to establish a foothold in the Demon World and assigned Clone Number One to oversee the making of Orbital Cannons. At Hidden Spirit Academy, the final match between Li Leihu and Lin Mowan began with Li Leihu attempting to counter her Wood Element Spells.

• Zhan Ling and the Middle-aged Butcher formed a team for the demon extermination mission, and a young Spirit Transformation Stage Blademaster joined them after Zhan Ling suggested renting logistics puppets for cleanup.
• Combat Puppets looted the Three Races' temporary bases, and an Integration Stage Earth Bear detonated itself while Grape ordered a search for Void Bone and another giant bear.
