Prison King Spirit Official escaped after using Chun Yangzi to control the formation suppressing the Life Ancient Demon, leaving the cultivators to face the demon and the threat of an Upper Realm descent. Wang Yu suspected Heaven Refining Demon Venerable planned to use the Chaos Layer to break through the world, and the chapter ended when Grand Void Honored One returned to speak with him.

As the Ice Prison Realm descended into chaos, Wang Yu gathered treasures and reached Golden Toad City with Xie Xie An, where his acquaintances were arguing over their relationships with him.

• Wang Yu took the Five Elements Escaping Heaven Saint Armor from the tomb, but its storage properties and sleeping Artifact Spirit prevented him from putting it in the Ocean Heart Ring.
• Yuan Ling awoke and recounted how Feikongzi had died after draining a living Dragon Vein, while Wang Yu explained the Heavenly Dao’s punishment and the Ice Prison Realm’s unusual nature.
• Wang Yu revealed his young age and offered to help Yuan Ling recover in exchange for its help; Yuan Ling agreed, though it needed Dao Origin or rule-bearing energy to unleash its power.

• Wang Yu inspected the remaining burial goods, including a Sea Suppressing Pearl, Void Gold, Myriad Spirit Bloodstone, and Immortal Flower, and considered using them to improve his treasures and body refinement.

• Jin Miaoshan sent Wang Yu information on five enlightenment methods, including the Enlightenment Ancient Tea Tree, the Bodhi Seed, Yellow Millet Wine, the Life-and-Death Ephemeral Gu, and Saint's Theft.
• Wang Yu judged Saint's Theft too dangerous to use, then set out for the Northern Severing Mountain Range to seek the Enlightenment Ancient Tea Tree.

As his lifespan neared its end, Azure Dragon Demon Venerable revealed plans that provoked Wang Yu, who attacked the Demon Race and killed Azure Dragon before sparing White Tiger Demon Venerable in exchange for the Enlightenment Ancient Tea Tree.

• Azure Dragon Demon Venerable told White Tiger Demon Venerable that he was dying and revealed his plan to help the Demon Race survive the coming tribulation, but Wang Yu arrived and demanded the Enlightenment Ancient Tea Tree.

He trapped the demon inside the sword and began refining it with the Slaughter Dao, but the outcome remained unresolved.

• Wang Yu awakened with his Nascent Soul transformed by the Slaughter Dao and used the Lapis Lazuli Heart Realm to suppress its killing intent.
• Wang Yu chose the Rakshasa Soul Sword as the Slaughter Dao's vessel and refined a sword embryo with the Ice Dragon Pill Flame while continuing his secluded cultivation.
• After six years, Wang Yu was interrupted when the Six Desires Heavenly Demon matured, and he decided to erase its will before absorbing it into his Innate Demonic Fetus Body.
• Wang Yu completed the Rakshasa Soul Sword, fused it with his Slaughter Dao and part of his primordial-spirit essence, then sent it into the Demon Skull cage.
• The Six Desires Heavenly Demon split into six forms, bound the Soul Sword with desire chains, and entered it to seize control.
• Wang Yu activated Slaughter Dao Refinement, trapping the demon in a Blood Sea vision and rendering its body rigid.

Wang Yu refined and devoured a Six Desires Heavenly Demon, evolving his Innate Demonic Fetus Body into an Innate Demonic Body despite a dangerous battle of wills. After recovering from his injuries, he began pursuing a breakthrough in the Vast Cold Law Intent and tested his transformed Ice Phoenix Form.

• Wang Yu spent ten days suppressing the Heavenly Demon's consciousness, then used the Second Nascent Soul Secret Art for three years to prepare its shell for devouring.
• Wang Yu absorbed the Heavenly Demon shell, but its survival instinct triggered Heavenly Demon Body Snatching and attacked his Primordial Spirit.
• Wang Yu defended himself with the Soul Sword and Mind Power, then defeated the Heavenly Demon through a prolonged contest as its power waned.
• The Heavenly Demon's origin fully merged into Wang Yu, evolving his physique into the Innate Demonic Body and awakening a still-gestating second talent.
