Luo Chen and Liancheng fought across Heaven and Earth Island before Liancheng dragged them away and nearly killed Luo Chen with his Earth Overturning Divine Ability.

• An azure streak raced over Heaven and Earth Island and plunged into the formation’s pillar of light as Liancheng shouted in anger.

Luo Chen, controlling Zhou Fuyou’s body, disrupted Ke Lianshan’s Spirit Transformation breakthrough and fought the Heaven Origin Dao Sect’s Nascent Soul True Persons. After Ming Yan recognized him as Desolate Rogue, Ke Lianshan activated the Rotten Ke Go Board to continue the God Descending Formation, and Luo Chen’s aura of destruction began to engulf the Mirage Dragon Cave Heaven.

• Ke Lianshan drew the power of thirty-six Nascent Soul True Persons and the spiritual opportunity of four continents to attempt Spirit Transformation and fuel the God Descending Formation.

• Ke Lianshan activated the Rotten Ke Go Board to protect himself and sustain the formation, while Luo Chen flew toward the vortex as an aura of destruction spread across the Cave Heaven.

Luo Chen sacrificed his avatar and the Ming Water Spring Eye to break the Rotten Ke Go Board, then escaped and reunited with his Life Soul. With his complete Primordial Spirit, he slew Liancheng, but the battle ended with Sea Emperor Whale and North Departure Great Saint confronting him.

• Luo Chen activated Jade Shattering Restriction and detonated the Ming Water Spring Eye, cracking the Rotten Ke Go Board and drowning Ke Lianshan as Ming Yan watched.
• Qing Shuang used her Small Worlds and Qing Luan form to hold back True Lord White Tiger until the shrinking Primordial Qi vortex cut off his path into the Mountain Sea World.

He left the Eastern Origin Continent with his surviving allies, while the defeated Dao Sect cultivators discovered the destruction at Heaven and Earth Island and Fu Qinglan’s hatred for him deepened.

• Sea Emperor Whale considered attacking Luo Chen, but Li Canghai arrived, invoked Cangwu Mountain’s backing, and persuaded the two Demon Race great powers to withdraw.
• Li Canghai departed, and Luo Chen told Qing Shuang he would seek an explanation from the Northern Sea pair; Qing Shuang said it would be best if they never met again and collected the Demon Race experts.

• Luo Chen sailed away on a giant turtle with his allies, and his laughter rang across the sea despite his weakened condition.

A year after the battle, Luo Chen freed Di Tu after securing an oath that the Tiger Demon Clan would not invade human territory, while Kong Chan chose to remain in his service. After distributing the Clarified Butter Pills and assessing his lingering injuries, Luo Chen confronted an unexpected danger in his Consciousness Sea: Zhou Fuyou.

• Di Tu asked Luo Chen to release him, then swore to restrain the Tiger Demon Clan and never attack humans or Luo Tian Sect cultivators; Luo Chen granted his freedom.
• Deng Taiyue and Kong Chan met with Luo Chen, who advised Deng Taiyue to strengthen his foundation before attempting Spirit Transformation and promised to address his need for a Fifth Order Spirit Vein.
• Kong Chan asked to serve Luo Chen for another five hundred years, and Luo Chen agreed to free him when he ascended to Spirit Transformation.
• Tian Xuan reported the Clarified Butter Pill distribution, and Luo Chen allocated the remaining pills among the major sects and Bo Hanjun while promising to refine more.
• Luo Chen examined the lingering palm seal from Liancheng's attack and found Zhou Fuyou trapped in a black sphere within his Consciousness Sea; his Main Soul demanded that Zhou Fuyou stop resisting.

Luo Chen merged with Zhou Fuyou, condensed his Ninth Soul, and set out for the Northern Sea after twenty years of recovery. There he found Zhou Qingyu, who was struggling to survive and planning to form a Pseudo-Core, and entered her cavern.

• Luo Chen showed Zhou Fuyou how his aptitude had been gained by taking Zhou Qingyu’s foundation, then agreed to protect the Zhou Family and help Zhou Qingyu cultivate in exchange for Zhou Fuyou opening his Soul Shell.
• Luo Chen merged with Zhou Fuyou and his eight Split Souls, condensing a Ninth Soul while retaining control of it.
• Twenty years later, Luo Chen took Kong Chan through the Nether Abyss and passed Yanfu Mountain, where he told Little White to guard the mountain.
• On an island in the Northern Sea, Zhou Qingyu hid from pursuers, planned to use an Ying Beast core to form a Pseudo-Core, and resolved to find her brother.
• Kong Chan killed the three men pursuing Zhou Qingyu, and Luo Chen entered her cavern.

Luo Chen healed Zhou Qingyu, restored her aptitude, and left her the Ocean Stabilizing Pearl and several cultivation manuals before departing. As Zhou Qingyu set out to find her brother, Luo Chen planned to hunt the Gu Siblings, but an urgent message summoned him back because Qixia Yuanjun was about to ascend.

• Luo Chen removed Zhou Qingyu’s accumulated Pill Poison, repaired her meridians and injuries, and used the Ocean Stabilizing Pearl to stabilize her Qi Sea.
• Luo Chen left Zhou Qingyu an Essence Condensing Pill, cultivation arts, and a Devil Cultivator Secret Record, then departed with Kong Chan.

• Luo Chen told Kong Chan he planned to search the Northern Sea for Black Devil and the golden-crowned woman, whom he suspected were the Gu Siblings.
• Luo Chen received an urgent message through the DuZhen Hall Master's Seal that Qixia Yuanjun was about to ascend and that he must return to Cangwu Mountain.

Luo Chen returned to Cangwu Mountain and discovered that Qixia Yuanjun, Qing Shuang, and Qing He Xian had used their ascension to escape to the Xuan World through the Star Gate. With the great powers gone, He Qingzi declared Luo Chen the Lord of Cangwu Mountain, and he found a message from Qixia Yuanjun waiting in Profound Understanding Hall.

• Luo Chen traveled through the hidden teleportation array to Cangwu Mountain after He Qingzi summoned him.
• Luo Chen saw Qixia Yuanjun release her Primordial Spirit, while Qing He Xian and Qing Shuang helped draw Spiritual Opportunity and calm the signs of Tribulation Lightning.
• Luo Chen realized that the three were using Qing He Xian and Qing Shuang's ascension and the Star Gate to reach the Xuan World rather than the Immortal World.
• Qixia Yuanjun, Qing Shuang, and Qing He Xian vanished into the Star Gate, and the pressure around Cangwu Mountain disappeared.
• He Qingzi proclaimed Luo Chen the Lord of Cangwu Mountain, and Luo Chen found a cyan feather containing a message from Qixia Yuanjun.

After reading Qing Shuang’s letter, Luo Chen learned Qixia Yuanjun’s origins and decided to ascend to the Immortal World after reaching Spirit Transformation. He gathered Cangwu Mountain’s treasures and returned to the Luo Tian Sect, where Li Yingzhang announced he planned to step down as Sect Master to attempt Nascent Soul Formation.

• Luo Chen read Qing Shuang’s letter, learned that Qixia Yuanjun had raised her and Qing Shuang to help them ascend, and resolved to pursue natural ascension to the Immortal World after reaching Spirit Transformation.
• Luo Chen ordered Moon Rogue to guard the Profound Understanding Hall and had He Qingzi take him to the Cangwu Treasury, where he found Empty Prism Apertures and other treasures.
• Luo Chen explained that he would use a troublesome woman to expose disloyal Demon Cultivators on Cangwu Mountain, then spent three days inventorying the treasury and left with its rarest items.
• Luo Chen returned to Shangyou City and ordered the Luo Tian Sect to build a Teleportation Array connecting it to Cangwu Mountain.
• Li Yingzhang told Luo Chen that he wanted to step down as Sect Master to prepare for Nascent Soul Formation, and Luo Chen asked whether he had chosen a successor.

Luo Chen approved Luo Lingxi as the Luo Tian Sect’s Fourth Generation Sect Leader, then guided the sect’s Golden Core cultivators as they prepared to form Nascent Souls. As his injuries healed, Luo Chen contemplated ascending soon and turned to the Burial Bone Umbrella in the Artifact Refining Hall.

• Li Yingzhang recommended Luo Lingxi as successor, and Luo Chen appointed him the Fourth Generation Sect Leader after hearing of his ability and resolve.
• A month later, Luo Lingxi accepted the sect leadership at a succession ceremony attended by Luo Chen and the sect’s senior members.

• Luo Chen held Sermon Meetings for the sect’s Golden Core cultivators and invited Wang Yuan to share his knowledge of regulating Blood and Qi.
• Luo Chen told Wang Yuan that he planned to attempt Spirit Transformation after recovering, then returned to his alchemical work and inspected the Burial Bone Umbrella in the Artifact Refining Hall.

Luo Chen discovered that the Burial Bone Umbrella was a Spirit Treasure crafted by the Heaven Refining Devil Monarch and won over its Artifact Spirit, learning that Qixia Yuanjun had damaged it at Soul Severing Cliff. Ten years later, Li Yingzhang successfully formed his Nascent Soul in Pill Saint Blessed Land.

• Luo Chen compared the Burial Bone Umbrella with the Yuan Tu Sword and realized both bore the Heaven Refining Devil Monarch's distinctive crafting style.
• Luo Chen sent Little Tu to communicate with the umbrella's Artifact Spirit, and the spirit accepted Luo Chen as her master.
• Luo Chen learned from the umbrella's memories that Qixia Yuanjun had torn its canopy during the battle at Soul Severing Cliff, creating the fissure that let Luo Chen defeat Liancheng.
• Luo Chen spent ten years healing and nurturing the Burial Bone Umbrella while Luo Tian Sect cultivators distributed his Clarified Butter Pills to the major sects of the Eastern Wasteland.
• A Nascent Soul Formation Omen appeared in Pill Saint Blessed Land, and Luo Chen, Gu Cai Yi, and Canglong watched Li Yingzhang undergo tribulation.
• Li Yingzhang survived the Tribulation Lightning, formed his Nascent Soul, and declared that he had not disappointed everyone.

Luo Tian Sect celebrated three new Nascent Soul cultivators, but two more breakthroughs ended in tragedy, including Sima Hui Niang’s failure. A year later, Luo Lingxi returned to find his mother dying beside Luo Chen, and she urged him to lead the sect on his own.

• Meng Qin'er and Qin Yuanjiang successfully formed Nascent Souls, bringing Luo Tian Sect to ten Qi Refining Nascent Soul True Persons.
• Cui Guangyao failed his Nascent Soul breakthrough and died, prompting Ling Fengzi to merge PiaoMiao Sect’s inheritance into Luo Tian Sect.
• Qi Yi alerted Luo Chen to a possible problem with Sang Jinghe’s secluded breakthrough, and Luo Chen found that Sang Jinghe had died after suffering an Inner Demon Tribulation.
• Luo Chen rescued Sima Hui Niang from the brink of death during her failed breakthrough, but her Golden Core remained shattered and her condition worsened over the following year.
• Luo Lingxi returned to find Sima Hui Niang near death; she urged him to take responsibility for his own path, then died in Luo Chen’s arms.

After Sima Hui Niang’s funeral, Luo Chen left Luo Tian Sect and returned to Cangwu Mountain to make a final attempt at Spirit Transformation. He began preparing pills to stabilize his Primordial Spirit and help him comprehend another Law True Intent.

• Luo Tian Sect mourned Sima Hui Niang, and Sima Wenjie appeared at her grave before departing after urging Luo Lingxi to honor his mother.
• Luo Chen restored his youthful appearance, entrusted Luo Tian Sect to Luo Lingxi and the Blessed Land to Gu Cai Yi, then left with Tian Xuan and Black King.
• At Cangwu Mountain, He Qingzi reported that several Demon Cultivators ignored summons, Juan Kuang had vanished, and Bi Zheng had gone to Sky Wolf Mountain to join Arrogant Deceit.
• The Qing He Twin Beauties pledged the Qing He Clan to Luo Chen, who ordered everyone to remain at Cangwu Mountain and protect him while he cultivated toward Spirit Transformation.
• Luo Chen entered the Truth Crossing Hall’s sealed cave abode and began refining a Soul Shaking Pill from the Black Obsidian Lotus and Soul Stones before using his Law Derivation Pill to pursue a fourth Law True Intent.

Arrogant Deceit and Moon Rogue persuaded Eastern Wasteland demon experts to join an attack on Cangwu Mountain while Luo Chen attempted to break through to Spirit Transformation. After fifty years of seclusion, Luo Chen’s breakthrough began, and the demons guarding the mountain prepared to strike.

• Han Shanque arrived at Sky Wolf Mountain and heard Ao Jun and White Eyebrow Immortal Ape dispute Luo Chen’s strength.
• Arrogant Deceit admitted Luo Chen was stronger but said he planned to attack while Luo Chen was vulnerable during his breakthrough.

• Arrogant Deceit and Moon Rogue agreed to attack at the final moment of Luo Chen’s breakthrough, with Arrogant Deceit demanding Luo Chen’s Natal Magic Treasure.
• Fifty years passed with Cangwu Mountain sealed, until Red Spiritual Energy erupted around the mountain and the demon cultivators recognized that Luo Chen’s breakthrough had begun.

Luo Chen began his Spirit Transformation at Cangwu Mountain while Arrogant Deceit and Moon Rogue led an assault to stop him. His allies’ preparations defeated their interference, leaving Arrogant Deceit pinned by the Yuan Tu Sword as Luo Chen took the final step into Spirit Transformation.

• Blood Vulture Daoist and the White Bone Mysterious Snake watched Cangwu Mountain, while Arrogant Deceit waited with his forces for Luo Chen to enter the Vitality Ocean.
• Arrogant Deceit led more than a dozen attackers against Cangwu Mountain, but Qixia Yuanjun’s Mountain Protection Great Array repelled their first strikes.
• Moon Rogue opened a breach in the formation and let the attackers inside, where they clashed with Thunder Prison Divine Peng and Cangwu Mountain’s other defenders.
• Arrogant Deceit attacked Luo Chen’s Primordial Spirit, but the Great Five Elements Sword Formation trapped him, while Luo Chen’s Fire Phoenix broke Moon Rogue’s Sea Rising Moon technique and drove her away.
• Arrogant Deceit revealed his own Primordial Spirit and charged at Luo Chen, but the Yuan Tu Sword pierced and pinned him against Cangwu Mountain, leaving Luo Chen free to complete Spirit Transformation.

Luo Chen comprehended the Source of Earth in the Vitality Ocean and successfully broke through to Spirit Transformation, choosing a law that could help awaken his Five Elements Dao Physique. After subduing the rebels and sparing Arrogant Deceit only by binding him to the Heavenly Wolf Claw, Luo Chen felt that the world had become too small for him.

• Luo Chen passed over the Nirvana True Intent and chose the Source of Earth, hoping to awaken his dormant Five Elements Dao Physique.
• Luo Chen returned from the Vitality Ocean, completed his Spirit Transformation breakthrough, and drew the Spirit Qi tide into his body.
• Luo Chen ordered He Qingzi to brand the captured rebel Demon Cultivators as slaves of Truth-Crossing Hall, while Tian Xuan reported that Moon Rogue had died and Arrogant Deceit's Primordial Spirit was captive.
• Luo Chen inspected the Heavenly Wolf Claw and ordered Arrogant Deceit to serve as its spirit for a thousand years before being allowed to enter reincarnation.
• Luo Chen subdued Arrogant Deceit and reflected that the world felt too small for him.

After advancing to Spirit Transformation, Luo Chen assessed his cultivation and planned to return to the Luo Tian Sect before seeking a way to break through his Body Tempering limit. A message about Black Devil drew him from Cangwu Mountain to the Northern Sea, where he headed north to confront the figure who shared his enmity.

• Luo Chen reviewed his Attribute Panel and saw that his lifespan had increased, his Five Elements Dao Physique was nearing activation, and his Body Tempering had reached the Fourth Order limit.
• He put the Hundred Poisons King Gu into dormancy after realizing neither it nor his remaining poisons could help him reach the Fifth Order.
• Luo Chen planned to return to the Luo Tian Sect and considered using the Demon-Devil Symbiotic Tree’s fruit to strengthen his body, but the possible methods required rare hearts and blood.
• A Sound Transmission Jade Pendant reported that Black Devil had been found, and Luo Chen left his cave abode for the Northern Sea.
• Luo Chen used his enhanced Exploding Void Fire Escape to travel rapidly north from the Northern Sea teleportation array.

Luo Chen pursued Gu Shaoshang and Gu Xiaolian into the Sunken Sea, where he killed Gu Shaoshang but failed to capture Gu Xiaolian as the True Yang Crown carried her into Fallen Devil Land. He then visited Li Canghai to discuss the Northern Sea's turmoil, and their Divine Thoughts collided as the chapter ended.

• Luo Chen learned from Kong Chan that Gu Shaoshang and Gu Xiaolian had entered the Sunken Sea to reopen a passage into Fallen Devil Land, and he followed Kong Chan there.
• Gu Shaoshang prepared to return to Fallen Devil Land with Gu Xiaolian, hoping to gain the resources and power needed to avenge their father against Luo Chen.

• Luo Chen decided against forcing his way into Fallen Devil Land and went with Kong Chan to visit Li Canghai at Edge of the Sky.
• Luo Chen and Li Canghai discussed the disorder in the Northern Sea and Luo Chen's plans to oppose the Demon Race's great powers, then their Divine Thoughts clashed inside Li Canghai's Mountain Sea Seal.

Luo Chen and Li Canghai compared their strength and discussed the Spirit Transformation shackles before Li recounted the dangers and history of the Sunken Sea Fallen Devil Land. After learning how Li obtained the Devil Monarch's Formation Dao Inheritance and crafted the Mountain Sea Seal, Luo Chen asked whether he would enter the Fallen Devil Land again.

• Luo Chen and Li Canghai tested their divine thoughts, then discussed the strength of the two Ancient Demons and Luo's reasons for seeking them.
• Li Canghai explained how Spirit Transformation cultivators were shackled by the world's assimilation and revealed that he knew of the Xuan World through the Heaven Refining Devil Monarch's inheritance.

• Li Canghai explained how he used the inheritance's methods to refine the Mountain Sea Seal and create its Mountain Spirit and Sea Spirit.
• Luo Chen revealed that he had obtained the Pill Dao Inheritance but not its Spirit Treasure, then asked Li Canghai whether he would enter the Fallen Devil Land again.

After leaving Li Canghai, he set out for the Sea Emperor Palace to confront the Sea Emperor Whale, while Li Canghai anticipated the coming clash from within the Mountain Sea Seal.

• Li Canghai warned Luo Chen that the Fallen Devil Land severely suppressed Spirit Transformation cultivators and recounted Blood Sea Old Ancestor’s fatal expedition there, persuading Luo Chen to abandon plans to return.
• Li Canghai explained how Spirit Transformation cultivators cultivated Origin Power, Law True Intent, and Dharma Forms, and Luo Chen shared his soul-refinement methods and gave him valuable pills.
