• The Soaring Sky City Lord told Luo Chen and eight other Nascent Soul Middle Stage experts that Bi Zhen, Juan Kuang, and Brocade Immortal were leading Demon Emperors in a surprise attack on the rear to destroy and slaughter.

They found Wind Flower Palace in ruins, and Luo Chen noticed that the Second Palace Master's Nascent Soul was missing.

At Dieyun Sect, they found the bodies of two True Persons with their Nascent Souls missing, renewing Luo Chen’s dread about what had happened to the Second Palace Master’s Nascent Soul.

• Wind Flower Immortal learned that Flowing Cloud True Person had self-destructed and that Rosy Cloud True Person and Caiyun had been killed with their Nascent Souls missing, causing Luo Chen’s dread to return.

Luo Chen, Jin Ling, and Wind Flower Immortal pursued the Demon Emperors through the ruined sects of the Eastern Wasteland and concluded that the raids were meant to weaken the Heavenly Capital Sect. They reached its heavily fortified domain just as seven Demon Emperors attacked, and Brocade Immortal ordered three formation experts to find the formation core.

• Jin Ling followed Luo Chen’s call and destroyed the fleeing Demon Emperor’s Nascent Soul with his golden feather.

• Brocade Immortal broke free and Heaven Pillar Mountain snapped in half as a white light flew toward Jin Ling; Tian Quanzi cried that it had swallowed the Nascent Souls of his three Junior Brothers.

Luo Chen survived Gao Chang’s ambush during the battle at Heaven Pillar Mountain, but Jin Ling was killed before Thunder Dao Child and Mingyuan Sect reinforcements forced the demons to retreat. Afterward, Luo Chen investigated the fallen elders and set out for Soaring Sky Pass, concluding that Gao Chang could be restrained by Desolate Beast Source Power and Thunder Force.

• Luo Chen broke the Deer Brothers’ Yin Yang Grinder, but Gao Chang’s white light killed Jin Ling and then failed to pierce Luo Chen’s powerful body.

• Thunder Dao Child attacked Brocade Immortal’s group, ordered the demons pursued, and led ten Mingyuan Sect Nascent Soul cultivators into the battle.
• Wind Flower Immortal joined the pursuit while Luo Chen stayed behind, recovered Jin Ling’s golden feathers, and told Tian Quanzi to report that Jin Ling’s body had vanished after his death.

Luo Chen returned to Soaring Sky Pass and learned that the Demon Race had breached the defenses, leaving the Luo Tian Sect and the Eastern Wasteland powers with devastating losses. As he treated survivors and prepared to hear the Mingyuan Sect’s plans, an old man in black robes entered and confronted him over Jin Ling’s death.

• Luo Chen returned to Hundred Mile Green River and learned that Soaring Sky Pass had fallen after the Black Tortoise Four Directions Array was shattered, with a hundred Luo Tian Sect members killed.

• Luo Chen accepted an invitation from the City Lord’s Mansion and heard that many Eastern Wasteland leaders and sects had suffered deaths or destruction in the battles.
• Nine Spirits Yuan Jun asked Luo Chen about Jin Ling, and an old man in black robes entered the hall and called out to Luo Chen.

• Divine Origin True Person demanded Jin Ling’s remains from Luo Chen, but Heavenly Capital Child defended Luo Chen, and the two formed an alliance.

Luo Chen explained his view of the Human-Demon War to Wind Flower Immortal, arguing that the demons’ unity was uncertain and that the Spirit Transformation Great Powers were restrained from intervening directly. After returning to the Luo Tian Sect, he aided Qu Lingjun and Meng Qin'er, checked on Yao Mingyue, and summoned Black King to reveal what he had swallowed.

• Luo Chen told Wind Flower Immortal that the Mingyuan Sect might force Ancient Demon Emperor Heaven to intervene and argued that Qixia Yuanjun was not fully supporting the demon war.

• Luo Chen left Soaring Sky Pass and returned to the Luo Tian Sect, where he gave Meng Qin'er cultivation resources for Qu Lingjun and additional resources for herself.
• Luo Chen checked Yao Mingyue’s progress toward Foundation Establishment Great Perfection and left her cultivation affairs to the sect.
• Luo Chen summoned Black King, who spat out rows of thousand-year-old wine jars and a long-dead corpse.

Luo Chen tested Dieyun Sect’s spirit wines, used the millennium-aged Five Temples Immortal Brew to discover and begin correcting a weakness in his internal body tempering, and refined Jin Ling’s corpse into a puppet. He sent the puppet with Black King to absorb spiritual energy at a newly formed Fourth-Order Spirit Cave beneath Great Green Mountain.

• Luo Chen examined Jin Ling’s corpse and briefly tried to revive it with spell seals, then asked Black King about the spirit wines he had tested.
• Luo Chen sampled Zhen Ling Su, endured its corrosive effect, and stored it separately before sorting the other wines by their uses.
• Luo Chen drank too much millennium-aged Five Temples Immortal Brew, spent three days refining it, and realized that his internal organs were weaker than his outer body.
• Luo Chen began pacing his use of Five Temples Immortal Brew to nourish his five viscera, then decided to refine Jin Ling’s remains into a Flesh-and-Blood Puppet.
• Luo Chen and his Third Soul spent seven days preparing Jin Ling’s corpse, and Luo Chen added a piece of his own flesh, molten metal, and golden threads before tempering the body for a month.
• Luo Chen placed his Third Soul and a Top Grade Metal Attribute Spirit Stone inside the finished puppet, equipped it with Jin Ling’s golden tail feathers, and sent Black King to take it to the Fourth-Order Spirit Cave beneath Great Green Mountain.

Luo Chen discovered a Spirit Cave beneath Great Green Mountain, studied Jin Ling’s inheritance, and learned that Thunder Dao Child had returned to Soaring Sky Pass. He revived the Shouyang Dao Discussion to draw out the Mingyuan Sect’s intentions, while Thunder Dao Child declared he would attend in his place.

• Luo Chen found a Fourth-Order Spirit Cave beneath Great Green Mountain and ordered Jin San to nurture himself there and study the Puppet Dao.
• Luo Chen opened Jin Ling’s Storage Ring, examined the incomplete Five Elements Divine Pill recipe and the Life-Stealing Three Golden Feathers method, and considered using Nine Yang Geng Metal and Brocade Immortal’s feathers to refine a Golden Feather.
• Luo Chen learned from Lin Qingxuan that Thunder Dao Child had returned and renegotiated their Jade Emperor Clear Eye Liquid deal for an eighty-twenty split in his own favor.
• Luo Chen sent invitations to more than a dozen cultivators, reviving the Shouyang Dao Discussion to force the Mingyuan Sect to reveal its attitude toward him.
• The Soaring Sky City Lord received Luo Chen’s invitation, and Thunder Dao Child took it and announced that he would attend in Luo Chen’s place.

At the Shouyang Dao Discussion Assembly, Luo Chen warned the gathered Nascent Soul True Persons that the Mingyuan Sect’s capture and imprisonment of Gao Chang could provoke Ancient Demon Emperor Heaven and endanger them all. Thunder Dao Child arrived and attacked Luo Chen, who stopped the lightning with his Azure Sun Great Handprint wreathed in strange flames and demanded an explanation.

• Elder Jiao dismissed the Pill Sect’s Shouyang Dao Discussion Assembly as a spectacle, while cultivators and their disciples gathered at Shouyang Mountain.
• Wind Flower Immortal joined Luo Chen and Heavenly Capital Child, who questioned her about Gao Chang and identified the demon as a possible Tiger Spirit connected to Ancient Demon Emperor Heaven.
• Luo Chen opened the assembly by criticizing the Mingyuan Sect’s lack of transparency and warning that its actions could leave the other sects as cannon fodder.
• Luo Chen told the assembly that the Mingyuan Sect had captured Gao Chang and was holding him in Soaring Sky Pass, prompting fears that it sought to draw out Ancient Demon Emperor Heaven.
• Thunder Dao Child entered and refused to explain the Mingyuan Sect’s actions, then attacked Luo Chen with lightning.
• Luo Chen countered with his Azure Sun Great Handprint, combining it with strange azure-and-white flames, and demanded that the Mingyuan Sect explain itself.

Luo Chen confronted Thunder Dao Child over Mingyuan Sect’s plan for a decisive battle against the Demon Race and won the gathered cultivators’ trust by demanding answers and urging them to prepare. After Thunder Dao Child suspected Luo Chen had comprehended Law True Intent and worried that his influence had grown too great, Luo Chen realized Mingyuan Sect’s favor had made returning to Heaven Earth Peak unlikely.

• Luo Chen blocked Thunder Dao Child’s strike and pressed him to explain Mingyuan Sect’s plans for the war.
• Thunder Dao Child revealed that Mingyuan Sect intended to use the Tiger Spirit to draw out the Demon Race for a final battle, and said Ming Abyss’s great powers would handle Ancient Demon Emperor Heaven if he intervened.
• Luo Chen questioned how Mingyuan Sect would stop Ancient Demon Emperor Heaven, then urged the gathered cultivators to prepare and trade resources before the battle.
• Thunder Dao Child told the Soaring Sky City Lord that Luo Chen might have comprehended Law True Intent and warned that his growing influence could make it difficult to bring him back to Mingyuan Sect.
• After the Shouyang Dao Discussion ended, Luo Chen returned to Danluo Mountain and concluded that Mingyuan Sect’s favor meant he could never return to Heaven Earth Peak.

As the final battle approached, Luo Chen prepared to defend Soaring Sky Pass, but Chong Xuan True Person ordered him to surrender Danluo Mountain and retreat with the Luo Tian Sect to Hundred Mile Green River. Luo Chen accepted the order, leaving his chance to earn battle merits uncertain, and resolved to grow stronger alongside his sect.

• Idle Crane True Person and the Crane Emperor visited Luo Chen, gave him a white feather and an incomplete Step on Emptiness, and said they were being sent to the White Crane Region.
• Luo Chen learned that Luo Tian Sect cultivators had been removed from their duties and met Chong Xuan True Person, who ordered him to yield Danluo Mountain and withdraw to the rear.
• Luo Chen agreed to surrender Danluo Mountain, then boarded a Cloud Carriage with the Luo Tian Sect cultivators and arranged to collect his two Martial Aunts.
• Wang Yuan told Luo Chen that the weak Luo Tian Sect had become a burden to him, but Luo Chen insisted he was not yet strong enough and proposed that they complete the Wind Leg together.

Luo Chen and Wang Yuan completed Wind Leg as the Demon Race’s final assault drew near. Luo Chen recalled his Split Souls and joined with Black King, reaching the peak of his combat strength as he prepared for the coming battle.

• Luo Chen and Wang Yuan combined Wind God Three Styles with Step on Emptiness, testing their deductions until Wind Leg was complete and Luo Chen mastered it.
• Luo Chen learned that the Demon Race had gathered its commanders and enormous forces around Soaring Sky Pass, making the final battle imminent.
• Luo Chen’s second soul helped Canglong stabilize her dream realm, then returned to him after Ming Zun left her cave dwelling.
• Luo Chen recalled his third soul from Jin San and assessed how the reunited souls strengthened his ability to resist soul attacks and cast multiple techniques.
• Luo Chen absorbed Black King into his arm and returned to the Luo Tian Grand Hall, confident he could face any enemy below the Great Cultivator level.

Lin Qingxuan spotted the Demon Beast assault on Soaring Sky Pass, while Wind Flower Region and Luo Tian Sect came under coordinated attacks by Demon Emperors and a hundred thousand beasts. As Luo Tian Sect’s defenders struggled to hold their formation, Lu Changsheng and Di Tu waited for Luo Chen, then saw sword energy sweep across the battlefield.

• Night Lan asked Lin Qingxuan why Luo Chen had left Soaring Sky Pass, and Lin Qingxuan defended Luo Chen’s retreat while thinking about preserving their relationship.
• Night Lan’s life-saving talisman burned, and Lin Qingxuan used the Jade Emperor Clear Eye Liquid’s enhanced sight to spot the Demon Beast tide and warn Soaring Sky Pass of the attack.
• Can Lou confronted Wind Flower Immortal as Demon Emperors under Lord of Pacifying Mountains ordered the Beast Tide to spread across Wind Flower Region and surround Soaring Sky Pass.
• Tian Xuan used the Myriad Souls Banner to destroy an advancing Beast Tide, while Min Longyu directed Hundred Mile Green River’s formation against more than a hundred thousand Demon Beasts.
