Li Wuyang and his companions were caught in the Gluttonous Spirit Devouring Array as the Star Fiend Ancient Demon emerged from the rift. Li Wuyang used Xuan’s power and the starship’s cannon to break free, but a spatial vortex swallowed his group and several other cultivators, leaving their fate uncertain.

• Yun Yi identified the Gluttonous Spirit Devouring Array as blood threads drained the vitality and spiritual power of cultivators across the battlefield.
• The Star Fiend Ancient Demon emerged from the rift and dragged the ensnared cultivators toward it to devour them.

• Li Wuyang steered the starship through the resulting spatial chaos, and a vortex swallowed his group, the Tianshu Sword Cultivator, and the Nine-tailed Fox Demoness.

Li Wuyang, Yun Yi, and Bao Bao survived the Star Chaser’s crash onto a dying planet after being swept through spatial turbulence, but found themselves trapped with the ship disabled. A mysterious voice calling Li Wuyang’s name came from the planet’s core, giving him a possible clue to their escape.

• Li Wuyang woke to find Yun Yi and Bao Bao alive and the starship wrecked on a dark, dying planet.
• Yun Yi confirmed the ship was severely damaged and out of energy, while Li Wuyang gave the others medicinal pills and began recovering with Xuan’s help.

• Li Wuyang heard a clearer call from the planet’s core saying, “Wuyang... come...” and told Yun Yi and Bao Bao they might have found a clue to escaping.

Li Wuyang, Yun Yi, and Bao Bao descended into the dying star’s core and found Xuan’s lifeless body sealed in a crystal coffin above the Annihilation sphere. When Li Wuyang triggered the seal, a terrifying shadow began awakening, while the Taotie Demon Lord approached, leaving the group trapped in a deadly crisis.

• Li Wuyang told Yun Yi and Bao Bao that the planetary core was calling him, and they agreed to investigate together.
• The three descended through a rift, enduring the star’s hazardous depths and hostile soul remnants as Li Wuyang protected them with the Chaos Dao Body.

• Xuan warned Li Wuyang to leave as a powerful shadow began awakening within the sphere.
• The inspector warned Li Wuyang that the Taotie Demon Lord was approaching with people to claim the coffin and the star’s core.

Li Wuyang risked his life to free Xuan from the chains binding her coffin, but breaking the first chain destabilized the seal. The Taotie Demon Lord arrived as Li Wuyang tried to sever a second chain, trapping him between the demon lord and the awakening black shadow.

• Li Wuyang ordered Yun Yi and Bao Bao to retreat, then stayed behind to try to save Xuan.

Li Wuyang broke the coffin’s chains to turn the Taotie Demon Lord and the annihilation evil spirit against each other, then crawled to Xuan’s coffin and tried to take it into his body. As the coffin began to disappear, the Demon Lord attacked him from behind and the planetary core collapsed around them.

• Li Wuyang severed the coffin’s remaining chains, unleashing the Annihilation light sphere and sending the coffin crashing into the Taotie Demon Lord’s palm.
• The blast wounded the Taotie Demon Lord and knocked Li Wuyang unconscious, while the enraged annihilation evil spirit attacked the Demon Lord.
• After waking, Li Wuyang crawled to the coffin as the Demon Lord and evil spirit fought, then tried to move it into his storage space but could not overcome its sealing power.
• Li Wuyang used his Chaos Dao Body, Xuan’s Embryo, and the Spark of Starfire to draw the coffin’s Annihilation Dao Rhyme into himself.
• As the coffin began turning translucent, the Taotie Demon Lord broke away from the evil spirit and launched a demonic strike at Li Wuyang, while the planetary core began collapsing.

Li Wuyang survived the annihilating star’s destruction after Xuan’s spirit blocked the Taotie Demon Lord’s attack and helped him take in the crystal coffin. The Star Sea Inspector revealed the coffin’s ancient secrets and the steps needed to awaken the Mystic Maiden, but news that the girl in the Star Infusion Pool had awakened with no memories left Li Wuyang facing a new mystery.

• Xuan’s Phantom sacrificed itself to block the Taotie Demon Lord’s strike, allowing Li Wuyang to take in the crystal coffin before the star exploded.
• Li Wuyang survived the destruction with the coffin and Xuan’s true body intact, while the Xuan embryo fell silent.

Li Wuyang learned that the awakened woman in the Star Infusion Pool was an incomplete manifestation of Xuan Nü, while her true body remained in his sea of consciousness. As he entered seclusion to recover, the Inspector secretly set a plan in motion to test the awakened woman and spread news about Li Wuyang's coffin.

• The Inspector explained that the woman in the Star Infusion Pool was a protective shell whose condition could affect Xuan Nü's revival, and said Li Wuyang might guide her if he earned her trust.

After recovering to early-stage Spirit Transformation in Star Hall, Li Wuyang learned that the awakened woman had lost her memories and that danger was gathering around her and the Annihilation Mystic Maiden’s coffin. A warning from Xuan Nü prompted him to rush toward the Star Infusion Pool, while a shadowy figure watched and called his departure a bite on the bait.

• Li Wuyang recovered from his near-fatal injuries in Star Hall and vowed to awaken Xuan completely.
• Yun Yi reported that the awakened woman had lost her memories, an intruder had approached the Star Infusion Pool, and rumors about Li Wuyang and the coffin were spreading.
• Li Wuyang ordered Yun Yi to investigate the woman and watch for suspicious activity connected to the Stomach of the Glutton.
• Li Wuyang began drawing in stellar origin to accelerate his recovery, and Xuan Nü’s true body warned him that the shell had been corrupted and must not touch the star core.
• Li Wuyang stopped cultivating and hurried toward the Star Infusion Pool, while a shadowy figure watched him leave and said he had taken the bait.

Li Wuyang rushed to the Star Infusion Pool to save Xuan, only to find her contaminated by Taotie demonic qi and attacked by her. The Inspector sealed Xuan in a starlight cocoon, leaving Li Wuyang resolved to enter seclusion and break through to the Golden Immortal realm.

• Li Wuyang fought off an ambush of dark shadows and reached the Star Infusion Pool, where he found dark crimson energy corrupting Xuan.

• Xuan opened her eyes and attacked Li Wuyang, injuring him as the Star Law Officer activated the purification formation.
• The Inspector's true body stopped the Purifying Star Divine Light and sealed Xuan and the demonic qi in a starlight cocoon.
• After the Inspector and Star Law Officer left, Li Wuyang told Yun Yi they would enter seclusion so he could break through to the Golden Immortal realm.

Li Wuyang broke through to the Golden Immortal realm in Star Hall, but his tribulation began as the corrupted “Xuan” attacked the hall’s core. He stood between her and the core formation node as the first Chaos Divine Thunder struck.

• Li Wuyang fused Creation and Annihilation Dao Rhymes to break his golden core and form a Chaos Nascent Soul, despite interference from Xuan’s contaminated shell.
• Chaos tribulation clouds gathered, and the inspector ordered the immortal boat’s outer isolation zone activated so Li Wuyang could undergo the tribulation in the void.
• The awakened “Xuan,” controlled by Glutton demonic qi, stormed into Star Hall and attacked its core formation node, overpowering Yun Yi and the Star Guards.
• Li Wuyang blocked “Xuan’s” attack and tried to soothe her with Chaos Dao Origin, refusing to leave her or let her reach the core.
• The first bolt of Chaos Divine Thunder struck Li Wuyang inside Star Hall while “Xuan” continued attacking him.

• Li Wuyang endured successive thunderbolts and Xuan’s attacks, using the tribulation to strengthen his Nascent Soul and the demonic qi to temper his Dao Body as he guarded the core formation node.
• The inspector and the blurry shadow watched from outside Star Hall and discussed Li Wuyang’s will, the contamination of Xuan’s shell, and the Star Law Officer’s moves.
• After six stages of the tribulation, Li Wuyang fused with his Chaos Nascent Soul and used the Star Shatterer Sword Sheath to dissolve Xuan’s demonic sword and the seventh thunderbolt with one strike.
• Li Wuyang weakened after the clash as Xuan briefly regained clarity, but the ninth Chaos Divine Thunder formed into a quasi-Saint-level thunder dragon and Xuan’s madness returned.

Li Wuyang awakened Xuan’s suppressed spirituality and used the ninth Chaos Thunder Dragon to refine her demonic qi while advancing his own cultivation. After the purification succeeded and Xuan fell into a coma, Star Guards stormed Star Hall to arrest the badly injured Li Wuyang.

• Xuan charged at the descending Chaos Thunder Dragon, and Li Wuyang used a heart sword to awaken her suppressed spirituality.

• After Li Wuyang left, the Inspector and Shadow discussed their evidence against the Star Law Officer’s faction and the Taotie Demon Lord’s interest in the Annihilation Star Sea.

Li Wuyang recovered in the Hall of Cultivating the Heart while Xuan awakened with no memories, and a fragment of Xuan Nü’s past surfaced through their resonance. After growing closer to Xuan, Li Wuyang was summoned by the Inspector and learned that his next destination was the Annihilation Star Sea.

• Li Wuyang healed from his injuries while watching over the unconscious Xuan, and his cultivation stabilized at the late-stage Golden Immortal realm.

• Li Wuyang left Xuan in the Inspector’s care and departed for the Annihilation Star Sea aboard the Star Chaser.

Li Wuyang and his companions entered the outer reaches of the Annihilation Star Sea and navigated the Corridor of Remnant Stars to reach Safe Harbor. They prepared to seek information about the Annihilation Heavenly Tome and the Origin Starfire, while noticing that rival factions had arrived as well.

• As the Star Chaser entered the Annihilation Star Sea’s outer zone, Li Wuyang found its fading energy strangely compatible with his Chaos Dao Body.
• Yue Liuli identified the Corridor of Remnant Stars as a relatively stable route, and Li Wuyang decided to establish an outpost there.

• Following Yue Liuli’s star compass, the group passed wrecked ships and reached Safe Harbor, a settlement inside a dark-red stellar remnant.
• Li Wuyang spotted ships bearing the banners of the Stomach of the Glutton and the Tianshu Sword Sect, then ordered Yun Yi to dock so they could gather intelligence.

Li Wuyang, Master of Qingwei Temple, and Yue Liuli gathered clues about the Annihilation Heavenly Tome and Origin Starfire at the Haven, then came under attack from assassins hired by the Stomach of the Glutton. They survived the ambush and planned to leave for the Bone Domain.

• Li Wuyang, Master of Qingwei Temple, and Yue Liuli visited the Omniscient Tavern and learned of possible clues in the Annihilation Divine Hall and near the Eye of the Returning Void.

• Li Wuyang led his companions toward a damaged wall to avoid the battle, but an Annihilation Guard detected them and fired a Death Ray at their position.
• The guard's attack exposed the group to the cultivators, leaving Li Wuyang and his companions threatened from both sides.

Li Wuyang and his allies fought their way into the temple, where a projection of a remnant page from the Annihilation Heavenly Tome drew all three factions into battle. As Li Wuyang reached for the projection, Shadow Pavilion’s Blood Shadow Guards ambushed him from every direction.

• Li Wuyang fought the Gluttonous Demon Lord and the Tianshu Sword Cultivator while the Master of Qingwei Temple, Yue Liuli, and Yun Yi held off the Annihilation Guard and the other attackers.
