• Wang Yu completed the Soul Sealing Pearl and Imperial Qilin Inner Armor, exhausted his Enlightenment Dao Tea Leaves, and prepared to advance his Vast Cold Law Intent.

Wang Yu broke through and mastered Frost Moon Artistic Conception and Yellow Springs Evil Ghost Dao, transforming his Dharma Idol and strengthening his power. Meanwhile, the Life Demon released the sealed Blood Demon, triggering a crisis in the Ice Prison Realm, and Daoist Kongkong descended to suppress the Ancient Demons before pursuing Heaven Refining and Wang Yu.

• Wang Yu formed Frost Moon Artistic Conception, then broke through Yellow Springs Law Intent and created Yellow Springs Evil Ghost Dao.

• Wang Yu ended his seclusion and headed toward Jin Lin City to share the Ice Phoenix’s racial memories with Yan Ling, unaware that the crisis had begun.

Heaven Refining Demon Venerable died after using the Chaos Pivot Battleship to unleash a world-destroying attack, while Daoist Kongkong fought the Life Demon and Blood Demon’s fused body. Wang Yu returned to Golden Toad City and began cultivating toward Spirit Transformation Fifth Layer as Zhong Ying recovered and prepared to pursue him.

• Zhong Ying confronted Heaven Refining Demon Venerable, who absorbed chaos power and fired the Chaos Pivot Battleship’s world-destroying divine light, dying in the blast while Zhong Ying survived with severe injuries.
• After taking a Sixth Tier Top Grade Life Creation Pill, Zhong Ying recovered enough strength to pursue Wang Yu, who was heading to Golden Toad City.
• The Life Demon absorbed the Blood Demon Shell, the Blood Demon Hall Master, Fu Ling, and Miao Zhen, then fought Daoist Kongkong as the Blood Abyss Secret Realm and nearby sect grounds were destroyed.
• Daoist Kongkong used the Void Sword Canon and Prison King Seal against the Life Demon, but the Demon Tablet weakened his cultivation and the Blood Demon God Annihilating Needle pierced his shoulder.
• Wang Yu returned to Golden Toad City, told Yan Ling about the Phoenix Clan’s racial memories, and began cultivating toward Spirit Transformation Fifth Layer.

After reaching the fifth layer of Spirit Transformation, Wang Yu and the cultivators of Golden Toad City were trapped by Zhong Ying, who descended with the Void Banner and began draining them. Wang Yu intervened and fought to cover their retreat, then unleashed a powerful attack against Zhong Ying.

• Wang Yu advanced to the fifth layer of Spirit Transformation, but Zhong Ying sealed Golden Toad City with the Void Banner before Wang Yu could assess the city's stored resources.
• Jin Miaoshan rallied the Nascent Soul cultivators to fight, while Zhong Ying used Space Suppression Seal to immobilize them and devoured the first victim.
• Yu Tang Tang broke free and attacked Zhong Ying, but his Void Great Hand Seal overwhelmed her before Wang Yu appeared and cut through it with Myriad Souls Slash.

• Zhong Ying countered Wang Yu's attacks with his Void Dharma Realm powers, pinned the Grand Yin Demon Dragon Dharma Idol with the Void Banner, and discovered Wang Yu's real body was elsewhere.
• Wang Yu revealed the fused Twelve Aspects beneath a Frost Moon and launched an arrow at Zhong Ying.

Wang Yu killed Zhong Ying with a desperate arrow, but Daoist Kongkong resurrected Zhong Ying and then killed Wang Yu after Yan Ling escaped with several people through the Wutong Immortal Wood. The Five Elements Heavenly Escape Saint Armor preserved Wang Yu’s Dao Origin Spirit, allowing him to revive in a reconstructed body, though he was gravely weakened and still faced danger in the Ice Prison Realm.

• Wang Yu used his full strength to destroy Golden Toad City and fatally wound Zhong Ying, whose body and Primordial Spirit then dispersed.
• Wang Yu collected Zhong Ying’s Void Banner and Cosmos Ring, but Daoist Kongkong arrived, restored Zhong Ying’s Primordial Spirit, and offered Wang Yu control of the Demon Prison if he accepted a death restriction.

• Wang Yu revived from his essence blood when his Dao Origin Spirit merged with his rebuilding body, and he assessed his severe injuries and lost treasures before looking toward the Frozen Demon Sealing Ground.

After reshaping his body, Wang Yu planned to evade Daoist Kongkong by hiding in the Void Daoist Canon and rebuilding his strength. He visited the Frozen Demon and deceived its new consciousness into revealing the Frost Sky Origin Blood, then asked it to gather Frozen Demonic Qi for him.

• Wang Yu swore to destroy the Void Dharma Lineage for Daoist Kongkong’s attack, then reviewed how cultivation and ascension affected the origins of different worlds.
• Wang Yu decided to recover the essence blood he had hidden at the Desire Demon Sealing Ground and considered using the Barren Ancient Plains as a refuge, while accounting for the time Daoist Kongkong would need to deal with the Life Demon.
• After his body was reshaped, Wang Yu rejected the Barren Ancient Plains and chose to hide in the Void Daoist Canon, using the Void Stele as his means of retreat.
• Wang Yu visited the Frozen Demon and falsely claimed that the Ice Clan had been exterminated, prompting the demon to explain that Frost Sky Origin Blood could help ice-path cultivators comprehend Dao principles.
• Wang Yu revealed his Frost Moon Artistic Conception and asked the Frozen Demon to gather Frozen Demonic Qi so he could restore his strength, leaving the demon hesitant.

Wang Yu absorbed the Frozen Demon's demonic qi to rebuild his cultivation, complete Demonization, and recover to the Spirit Transformation Stage. He left the Frost Demon and followed the Void Stele through the Ice Prison Realm's Space Layer toward the Void Daoist Canon.

• Wang Yu used the Innate Demonic Body to absorb pure demonic qi and reshape his foundations through the Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment, and Core Formation stages.
• Wang Yu's bloodline developed Primal Demonic Marks and gave him the Demon Race inheritance of the Primal Battle Body.
• Wang Yu used Heavenly Demon Myriad Transformations to remove most of his altered Demon Race features and completed Demonization, gaining a demon soul and recovering to the first layer of the Spirit Transformation Stage.
• Wang Yu thanked the Frost Demon, departed in aurora form, and retrieved his blood essence from the Barren Ancient Plains and the Desire Demon Sealing Ground.
• Wang Yu used the Void Banner to enter the Space Layer and followed the Void Stele toward the Void Daoist Canon.

Wang Yu entered the Void Daoist Canon, a grotto-heaven called the Hall of Blessing and Disaster Aversion, and searched for its inheritance. On the ninth day, he found the Void Sky Stele and began learning its spatial secret arts, but his injured Primordial Spirit limited his progress.

• Wang Yu used the Void Stele to enter the secret realm and discovered the Purple-Gold Immortal Palace bearing the name Hall of Blessing and Disaster Aversion.
• Wang Yu explored the grotto-heaven, suspecting it might be the remains of a Dao Integration Great Power and worrying that it could be tied to a Demon Race plot.
• Wang Yu checked his Fortune Fruit and concluded that it had greatly helped him kill Zhong Ying.
• On the ninth day, Wang Yu found the Void Sky Stele and noticed fresh footprints, including an imprint that suggested a woman had visited before him.
• Wang Yu comprehended the Spatial Beacon, Heavenly Delivery Art, and Heavenly Machine Positioning, but his injured Primordial Spirit forced him to stop after the tenth line.

Wang Yu encountered Chang Xi, Lei Yao, and Star Moon beneath the Void Sky Stele after studying its spatial arts. Lei Yao recognized his weakened Nascent Divinity and offered him a cultivation technique and a way to spare the group; several days later, Wang Yu had begun learning it.

• Wang Yu deciphered how the Void Sky Stele's spatial arts formed defensive and offensive techniques and resolved to study them while recovering.
• Chang Xi recognized Wang Yu as Old Demon Wang and urged Lei Yao and Star Moon to flee, while Star Moon attacked him to rescue Chang Xi.
• Lei Yao stopped Star Moon and spoke to Wang Yu as an old friend, prompting him to recall their past and admit to the crimes behind his rise.
• Chang Xi realized Wang Yu had killed her clansman and taken his Three Spiritual Roots, and Wang Yu threatened to feed on their companions.
• Lei Yao offered Wang Yu Thunder Fire Temple's [Heavenly Thunder Origin Returning Marvelous Technique] in exchange for mercy, and several days later he had entered its threshold.

Wang Yu learned that the outside world had become a dead land after a Dao Integration Great Power destroyed the Ice Prison Dao lineage, but the Void Daoist Canon might hold a World-Breaking Divine Ark. After seizing the cultivators’ supplies and beginning to restore his Primordial Spirit, he joined their search for the ark through the Nine Tribulations Wanderer’s inheritance.

• Lei Yao recounted how she, Xing Yue, and Chang Xi had entered the Void Daoist Canon, and Wang Yu told them that the Righteous-Demonic War and a Dao Integration cultivator had devastated the outside world.
• Chang Xi revealed a rumor that the Void Daoist Canon contained a World-Breaking Divine Ark, and Wang Yu eagerly asked whether it was inside the unopened Hall of Blessing and Disaster Aversion.
• Wang Yu ordered the camp’s cultivators to surrender their resources, taking Thunder Fire Temple’s Seventy-Two Thunder Forbidden Treasure Banners and spirit herbs to aid his recovery.
• Wang Yu practiced the Heavenly Thunder Origin Returning Marvelous Technique and used the banners to stimulate his Primordial Spirit.
• Chang Xi explained that records from the combined Four Void Sky Stele Keys pointed to the Nine Tribulations Wanderer’s inheritance, and Wang Yu agreed to investigate it.

Wang Yu learned that the Void Daoist Canon carried Nine Tribulations Wanderer's legacy and the risk of attracting Purple Pupil Immortal, then entered the Hall of Blessing and Disaster Aversion to claim its treasures. After refining the Nine Yang Undying Grass, he recovered from his injuries and advanced his body refinement, while sensing another change within himself.

• Wang Yu activated the merged Void Steles and saw Nine Tribulations Wanderer's projection warn that Purple Pupil Immortal had killed him and ask the inheritor to protect the Nine Tribulations Dharma Lineage.
• Wang Yu used the Void Stele to learn the Jade Void Glazed Wall and discovered that the World-Breaking Divine Ark lay in the Hall of Blessing and Disaster Aversion, along with the karma tied to Nine Tribulations Wanderer.
• Wang Yu entered the hall and found the World-Breaking Divine Ark too cracked to use and a Nine Yang Undying Grass left on another Bronze Pillar.
• Wang Yu realized Old Ancestor Tai Xu had not taken the grass because his weakened body could not withstand it, then swallowed it and endured its violent medicinal power alongside the Yama Son of Heaven Sword's yin and corpse qi.
• Wang Yu recovered his body and lost lifespan, advanced to Fifth Tier Late Stage body refinement, and noticed another change as he sensed himself.

After recovering from his injuries and advancing his cultivation, Wang Yu summoned Lei Yao and the others to discuss how to escape the Ice Prison. When the World-Breaking Divine Ark proved unusable, he turned to Star Moon Fairy and the possibility that her Star Moon Dao Body could help him advance the Grand Yin Nether Eye to the sixth tier.

• Wang Yu stabilized his cultivation, arranged his Placement Slots, and spent six months recovering his Magic Power, physical body, and Primordial Spirit.
• Wang Yu told Lei Yao, Star Moon, Chang Xi, Qing Pingzi, Pili Zi, and the others that the World-Breaking Divine Ark would likely self-destruct if it left the Hall of Blessing and Disaster Aversion.
• Lei Yao asked why Wang Yu had not joined the Spirit Transformation Honored Ones in crossing the Chaos Layer, and Wang Yu said he had other possible ways to leave the Ice Prison, including the Four Great Feng Shui Ancestral Tokens.
• Wang Yu asked Star Moon Fairy about the Grand Yin Nether Eye, and she explained that Moon Gazing Palace had only inherited fragments of the Primeval Grand Yin Gate's teachings.
• Wang Yu considered studying Star Moon's Dao Body to advance his Grand Yin Nether Eye, then asked to speak with her in private, and she agreed after Lei Yao reassured her.

Wang Yu tried to persuade Star Moon Fairy to dual cultivate with him, arguing that her Star Moon Dao Body could help him develop the Grand Yin Nether Eye and escape the Ice Prison Realm. After she asked for time to consider, Wang Yu turned to rebuilding his cultivation path and planned to replace the Glass Pagoda with a Universe Demonic Cauldron.

• Wang Yu used Six Senses Obscured to privately ask Star Moon Fairy about her Dao and her determination to seek the Upper Realm.
• Star Moon affirmed her fearless Dao, and Wang Yu explained that dual cultivation might help him advance the Grand Yin Nether Eye and find a way out of the Ice Prison Realm.
• Star Moon questioned whether her Dao Body could guarantee the eye technique's advancement or help anyone besides Wang Yu, and she worried about leaving Lei Yao behind.
• Wang Yu argued that Lei Yao and Chang Xi might not keep pace with him, but Star Moon asked for time to consider his proposal.
• After Star Moon left, Wang Yu decided to study the Six Desires Heavenly Demon Strategy and merge its principles into his Ten Directions Freezing Demonic Dao.
• Wang Yu planned to replace his Glass Pagoda with a Universe Demonic Cauldron suited to his broader cultivation path.

Wang Yu refined the Universe Demonic Cauldron and Myriad Transformations True Artifact while cultivating in a feng shui formation, then entered dual cultivation with Star Moon. Ten years later, he broke through to Spirit Transformation Sixth Layer as both life-bound treasures neared completion.

• Wang Yu chose to refine the Universe Demonic Cauldron using his flesh and blood, planning to strengthen it later with the bones and bodies of powerful cultivators.
• Wang Yu designed the Bodhi Transformation Demonic Feng Shui Formation and used its benefits to cultivate and refine his treasures.
• Wang Yu spent less than half a year preliminarily refining the Universe Demonic Cauldron, then began making the Myriad Transformations True Artifact with heavenly demon blood and his own origin.
• Three years later, Star Moon agreed to dual cultivation with Wang Yu, and Lei Yao asked him to teach the pupil technique to Star Moon and, if feasible, to her as well.
• After another seven years of dual cultivation, Wang Yu broke through to Spirit Transformation Sixth Layer, and both life-bound treasures showed signs of completion.

Wang Yu completed his Thirty-Six Grade Blood Lotus Furnace and Myriad Transformations True Artifact, then reviewed the gains from ten years of secluded cultivation. He prepared to meet Star Moon for another round of dual cultivation as the second-round climax approached.

• Wang Yu forged the Fifth Tier Low Grade Thirty-Six Grade Blood Lotus Furnace, which could refine materials to their origins, cultivate a demonic flame, and suppress space.
• Wang Yu tested his Myriad Transformations True Artifact as armor and as a spear, including its Ice Phoenix Form, and learned that it needed more Heavenly Demon True Blood to grow stronger.
• Wang Yu reviewed his progress in spatial arts, noting that he had mastered roughly three thousand Spatial Secret Arts and gained the ability to create more than a hundred Spatial Illusionary Bodies.
• Wang Yu recalled that dual cultivation with Star Moon had advanced his Grand Yin Nether Eye deductions and had become increasingly frequent, though it left him feeling drained.
• Wang Yu stretched and prepared to find Star Moon for one last session as the development period neared its end.

Wang Yu completed the Return Moon Eye Technique with Xingyue’s help and used it to ascend toward the Grand Yin Star, seeking a way out of the Ice Prison Realm. As he escaped Daoist Kongkong’s reach, he discovered the Ancient Demon’s twisted flesh forest still remained and left Kongkong furious behind him.

• Wang Yu told Xingyue that their work on the Star Moon Dao Body was finished, and she returned to the group with the secret art for Lei Yao.
• Wang Yu refined the Grand Yin Nether Eye into the Return Moon Eye Technique, using the Grand Yin Star’s power and spatial energy to strengthen his eyes.
• Wang Yu activated the technique and rose through the Moon Ascending Passage, which shielded him from the realm’s spatial barriers and nine layers of astral wind.
• Wang Yu spotted the Twisted Flesh Forest in the Great Lake Spirit Domain and saw Daoist Kongkong containing it with Spatial Rifts.
• Daoist Kongkong recognized Wang Yu’s escape technique and attacked the Moon Ascending Passage, but Wang Yu mocked him and vanished into the firmament.

Wang Yu ascended to the moon to test the Return Moon Eye Technique and reconsidered the dangers of leaving the Ice Prison Realm, including the Life Ancient Demon's schemes. He harvested vast lunar treasures and reached a giant Cassia Tree, where he suspected he had encountered an illusion.

• Wang Yu reasoned that the Life Ancient Demon might be hiding within him and trying to hitch a ride out of the Ice Prison Realm, so he decided to prepare the Jade Void Glazed Wall and consider drawing the demon into a bargain.
• Wang Yu landed on the moon, collected its Grand Yin Fires with his Blood Lotus Furnace, and formed the One Qi Demonic Flame.
• Wang Yu gathered Grand Yin Soul Stone, Moon Core Fragments, and other lunar treasures to strengthen his cultivation and spirit treasures.
• Wang Yu swept up the moon's cold and yin spirit plants, then reached the giant Cassia Tree and wondered whether it was an illusion.

Wang Yu explored the illusory Cassia Tree and discovered a Moon Palace containing the Grand Yin Refining Form Treasure Scroll, an ancient Star God inheritance. He began using the Placement Slot to cultivate it, hoping its transformation of his Primordial Spirit would protect him from the Life Demon as he prepared to leave the prison world.

• Wang Yu flew into the Cassia Tree and found that its branches enclosed a vast inner universe.
• After three days of flight, Wang Yu discovered the Moon Palace, where its ancient wind chimes stirred his emotions.
• Wang Yu found a scripture fragment in the palace and learned through Placement Slot feedback that it contained the Grand Yin Refining Form Treasure Scroll, a Star God cultivation method.
• Wang Yu decided the inheritance could strengthen his Primordial Spirit and help him resist the Life Demon, despite concerns about changing his essence.
• Wang Yu devoted a Placement Slot to the method, which absorbed Grand Yin Origin to elevate his Primordial Spirit.
• After exploring the Cassia Tree for another month, Wang Yu returned to the secret realm and planned to gather the Four Wind and Water Tokens before negotiating with the Life Demon's shell.

Wang Yu left the Void Daoist Canon after giving Lei Yao a lead on a Spirit Transformation opportunity and saying farewell to her and Star Moon. In the Ice Prison Realm, he used the Water and Earth Tokens to locate another ancestral token, while Daoist Kongkong enlisted Ming Feng to seal the Life Demon—just as an unexpected change began.

• Wang Yu gave Lei Yao the method to reach the Extreme Yin Dragon King and left Star Moon and Lei Yao with the four Void Steles before departing through the Void Stele.
• Lei Yao explained to Chang Xi that Wang Yu had returned most of her resources and advised the Sword Sect on rebuilding, while Star Moon vowed to catch up with him and ascend.
• Wang Yu used the Feng Shui Compass and the Water and Earth Tokens to locate the ancestral token he believed was with Liantian, then flew into the dark Space Layer to find it.
• Daoist Kongkong met Ming Feng, the Nine Nether King's tenth son, and handed him a Cosmos Ring containing an imitation Chaos Pivot Battleship as a pretext to attack Azure Blood Dragon Lord.
• Ming Feng used the Nine Nether King's Crown, a World-Piercing Spirit Treasure, to spread Corpse Rot through the twisted flesh and suppress the Life Demon clone method.
• The forest of flesh and blood turned black under Ming Feng's power, but a sudden change disrupted the apparent outcome.

Wang Yu repaired the World-Breaking Divine Ark, obtained the Fire Ancestral Token at Vermilion Bird Divine Mountain, and gathered all four ancestral tokens. He began preparing to hunt the mountain’s Ancient Beasts, while the Life Ancient Demon fled Kong Kongzi and Ming Feng across the Endless Ice Field.

• The Life Ancient Demon escaped the Nine Nether King's Crown in its true demon form, and Kong Kongzi pursued it with Ming Feng following under their agreement.
• Wang Yu retrieved the Wind Ancestral Token from the Chaos Layer and used Chaos Qi to repair the World-Breaking Divine Ark over thirteen days.
• Wang Yu headed toward Vermilion Bird Divine Mountain, while the Life Ancient Demon burned its vitality to evade Kong Kongzi and Ming Feng and sought help from the Frost Demon.
• Wang Yu reached Vermilion Bird Divine Mountain, found the Earth Master Ancestor’s Feng Shui Bureau beneath it, and discovered Ancient Beasts and Molten Earth Core Fire in the magma.
• Wang Yu collected the Fire Ancestral Token and Molten Earth Core Fire, completing his set of four ancestral tokens, then prepared to hunt the Ancient Beasts.
