• Tang Chen, Snow Empress, Ice Empress, and two Clear Sky Sect elders struggled against the Abyss High Priestess’s forces and were trapped by his binding field.

• The Evil God recognized the Chaos Dragon God’s aura in Ling Yun and accelerated its descent.

Ling Yun stopped the Evil God's Eye from fully descending by destroying its projection with his strongest Chaos ruler attack. The Abyss was left polluted by hidden fragments and a curse, and Ling Yun warned that purifying the land and preventing the Evil God's return would be the next challenge.

• Tang Chen warned that the Evil God's true body was forcing its way through the altar vortex as the colossal Evil God's Eye began to form.

• Ling Yun told Ice Empress and Tang Chen that the Evil God's influence remained and that they had to purify the Abyss and prevent its return.

After Ling Yun defeated the Evil God's projection, the Alliance celebrated its victory while he recovered in the Extreme North. Ling Yun discovered that the Evil God's lingering contamination would require prolonged purification and began preparing for a continent-wide campaign against the Holy Spirit Cult.

• Ning Fengzhi received Tang Chen's report of the victory and ordered the Alliance to spread the news and secure the Extreme North.
• Ling Yun recovered from his injuries as Tang Chen, Snow Empress, and Ice Empress guarded him.
• Tang Chen and Snow Empress reported stubborn Evil God energy crystals, whispers, hallucinations, and corruption of the Extreme North's ice.
• Ling Yun called for a more fundamental purification method and warned that the Holy Spirit Cult's unseen leaders could still cause trouble.
• Ning Fengzhi announced the Alliance's plan to purge every known Holy Spirit Cult stronghold, and Ling Yun agreed to oversee the operation.

The Continental Guardian Alliance’s purge dismantled the Holy Spirit Cult’s strongholds, but strange tablets and sacrificial formations revealed that the cult had ties to a mysterious Spirit of the Starry Sky. Ling Yun ordered the purge to continue and called for investigations into the cult’s missing leaders and extraterrestrial powers.

• Ning Fengzhi coordinated the Continental Purge as the alliance’s factions and empires swept through Holy Spirit Cult strongholds across the continent.
• Tang Chen, the Clear Sky Sect, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, and other Titled Douluo led attacks, while Bo Saixi sent Sea Soul Masters to secure the coast.

• Ling Yun ordered the purge to continue, directed the alliance to investigate the symbols and missing leaders, and agreed to purify the Extreme North with Bo Saixi’s help once his injuries healed.

After the purge, the hidden Holy Spirit Cult leader ordered Star Mark into silence and prepared for the arrival of Stars Return to Position. At the Permafrost Abyss, Ling Yun discovered that the Evil God’s remnants contained a mark that could exploit his power, so he halted purification and left to seek a safer method.

• The masked Holy Spirit Cult leader ordered Star Mark to conceal itself and wait for Stars Return to Position, while identifying Ling Yun as a variable that could hasten his lord’s descent.
• At the Permafrost Abyss, Ling Yun used the Chaos Dragon God’s power of creation to begin purifying the Evil God energy trapped in the ice.
• An Evil God Will surged back through Ling Yun’s power, and the Silver Dragon King warned him that the remnant was a mark trying to locate him.
• Ling Yun destroyed the rebounding will with his Chaos Domain and suspended large-scale purification until he could find a way to erase the mark safely.
• Ling Yun left the Extreme North, resolved to study the threat and grow stronger before the next storm.

After discovering that the Evil God Mark could track him and might exploit purification, Ling Yun suspended the alliance’s campaign in the Extreme North and formed a Sacred Alliance research group to seek knowledge from ancient divine inheritances. As he headed for Sea God Island, strange incidents across the continent hinted that another unknown threat was emerging.

• Ling Yun reviewed the Evil God Mark’s hatred and interest in the Chaos Dragon God Aura, then warned the alliance that it might be tracking him.
• Ning Fengzhi, Bo Saixi, Tang Chen, and Ling Yun agreed to suspend large-scale purification and seek a higher-level way to destroy the mark.
• Bo Saixi offered access to the Sea God Palace’s Chapter of Divine Oracle, and Tang Chen offered the Clear Sky Sect’s Haotian Stele for study.
• Ling Yun established a Sacred Alliance research group and ordered the alliance to blockade and monitor the Extreme North instead of conducting large-scale purges.
• Ling Yun set off for Sea God Island while reports reached Ning Fengzhi of disappearances, deaths linked to a strange metal plate, and mutated plants near meteor impact sites.

Ling Yun reached Sea God Island, bypassed the Sea God's trial, and read the oracle revealing that the Evil God was the Lord of the Abyss, an outsider sealed by the Dragon God and the gods. He warned Bo Saixi that the seal might be weakening and planned to consult the Haotian Stele before investigating the City of Slaughter.

• Bo Saixi welcomed Ling Yun to Sea God Island and explained that he had to face the Sea God's trial to enter the forbidden area.
• Ling Yun entered the forbidden area, and the Sea God's Light avoided him as he passed through unharmed.
• Ling Yun read the Chapter of Sea God's Oracle and learned that the Lord of the Abyss had invaded from beyond the world and been sealed after a war with the Dragon God and the gods.
• Ling Yun emerged and told Bo Saixi that the Evil God's seal might be loosening or its minions might be trying to break it.
• Ling Yun said he would consult Tang Chen and the Haotian Stele, then investigate the City of Slaughter.

Ling Yun deciphered the Haotian Stele’s warning that the City of Slaughter was a hidden danger tied to the severed Path of Asura, then set out to investigate. As strange supernatural incidents spread across the continent, Ning Fengzhi gathered reports and sent them to Ling Yun.

• Ling Yun visited the Clear Sky Sect and touched the Haotian Stele, whose ancient will recognized his power and revealed its inscription to him.
• The inscription described the ancient war against the Outer Path Demonic Heresy, Dragon God’s effort to protect the World Core, and a warning that the City of Slaughter was a hidden danger after the Path of Asura had been severed.
• Ling Yun told Tang Chen he had to go to the City of Slaughter, refused Tang Chen’s offer to accompany him, and left for the southwest.
• Villagers in the Star Luo Empire aged decades overnight, a forest near the Heaven Dou Empire became violently corrupted, and black crystals in the Permafrost Abyss grew darker and more active.
• Ning Fengzhi gathered reports of the anomalies and sent the information to Ling Yun as a storm gathered around the City of Slaughter.

Ling Yun entered the Hell Road beneath the City of Slaughter and discovered the Holy Spirit Cult Leader trying to break the seal that contained Evil God Power. He confronted the Cult Leader at the blood pool as the Asura Sword Intent Projection neared collapse, and their decisive battle began.

• Ling Yun returned to the underground stone gate, where the Asura God's Divine Sense revealed that an outsider was corroding the seal deep within the Hell Road.
• The Asura God's Divine Sense opened the gate, and Ling Yun used his Chaos Domain and Chaos Dragon God Martial Soul to resist the slaughter and evil aura as he descended.
• Ling Yun reached a blood pool where more than a hundred Holy Spirit Cult followers were feeding their life force into the erosion of the Asura Sword Intent Projection.
• The Holy Spirit Cult Leader used the Star Compass to attack the failing seal and declared that he would use the accumulated killing aura to prepare a vessel for his lord's descent.
• Ling Yun confronted the Cult Leader, and the blood pool boiled as the Asura Sword Intent Projection cracked and their battle erupted.

Ling Yun stopped the Holy Spirit Cult Leader’s ritual, restored the Asura Sword Intent Projection, and forced the Cult Leader to flee while taking the Star Compass. As he investigated the blood pool, Ling Yun sensed a familiar Dragon Race Aura beneath the seal.

• The Holy Spirit Cult Leader used the Star Compass and sacrifices to batter the Asura Sword Intent Projection, but Ling Yun struck back with the Chaos Measuring Heaven Ruler and Light of Creation.
• Ling Yun twisted space to evade the Cult Leader’s falling star attacks, then killed over a hundred cultists with his Spiritual Sense and interrupted the ritual.
• Ling Yun’s purification helped the projection recover, and the Holy Spirit Cult Leader fled after warning that the Stars Return to Position was near.
• Ling Yun severed the Cult Leader’s arm and seized the Star Compass before the Cult Leader vanished.
• Ling Yun stabilized the projection, then sensed a familiar Dragon Race Aura deep beneath the blood pool and cautiously probed toward it.
