The chapter ended with Li Wanmo summoning Fentian Demon Lord, a True Monarch Realm expert from the West Xuan Domain, to challenge Lingxuzi and the Domain Seal.

• Elder Qing Hui praised Lu Changsheng and Rui'er for helping break the Heaven Refining Demon Array, then ordered the disciples to honor the twenty-seven fallen and care for the wounded.
• Elder Qing Hui joined the other five lineages at Two Realms Mountain, where the elders reported that the Earth, Mystical, and Yellow Halls had been destroyed and the Sect Master had ordered them to attack Myriad Demon Abyss.
• Lingxiao Sect’s six lineages advanced to Myriad Demon Abyss, where nearly ten thousand Devil Dao fighters had gathered to defend the Boundless Demonic Palace.
• Lingxuzi arrived with the Eastern Mausoleum Domain Seal and challenged Li Wanmo, who emerged from the demon hall and claimed he had prepared for the seal’s power.
• Li Wanmo summoned Fentian Demon Lord from the West Xuan Domain, and Lu Changsheng and the Lingxiao Sect forces realized the final confrontation had become far more dangerous.

The final battle began at Myriad Demon Abyss as Lingxuzi faced Li Wanmo and Fentian Demon Lord while the armies of righteousness and demons clashed below. Lu Changsheng slaughtered more than a hundred demonic cultivators with his formation, but three Saint Heaven Realm seventh-layer demonic leaders cornered him.

• Lu Changsheng trapped more than a hundred demonic cultivators in his Ten Dragon Ice Absolute Array and destroyed them with ten ice dragons.
• Bone You Zen Master, Man Shan, and Hun Sang surrounded Lu Changsheng and prepared to kill him.

Lu Changsheng fought Bone You Zen Master, Man Shan, and Hun Sang after they surrounded him, but their coordinated attacks badly wounded him. As their combined killing moves descended, he formed and launched a Three-Colored Lightning Lotus, forcing the three demons to flee.

• Lu Changsheng activated Thunder Tribulation Armor, reached the Saint Heaven Realm, and charged Hun Sang as Bone You Zen Master and Man Shan attacked alongside him.

• Lu Changsheng fused Geng Metal Tribulation Lightning, Yang Fiendish Thunder, and Yin Baleful Thunder into a Three-Colored Lightning Lotus and sent it toward the three demons.
• Hun Sang, Bone You Zen Master, and Man Shan abandoned their formation and fled as the lotus pursued them.

Lu Changsheng unleashed the Three-Colored Lightning Lotus, killing Man Shan and Hun Sang and leaving Bone You Zen Master grievously wounded, then returned to the battle as the Lingxiao Sect gained the advantage. Lingxuzi drove Fentian Demon Lord to flee, but Li Wanmo activated a vast sacrificial formation across the Myriad Demon Abyss to awaken an ancient Demon God's Weapon.

• Lu Changsheng's Three-Colored Lightning Lotus annihilated Man Shan, Hun Sang, and thousands of demonic soldiers, while Bone You Zen Master survived with a life-saving trump card and fled into the abyss.

• Li Wanmo announced that the formation would use the abyss's accumulated demonic qi and the fallen combatants' blood and souls to awaken an ancient Demon God's Weapon.

Li Wanmo activated the Myriad Demon Blood Sacrifice Formation, sacrificing everyone trapped inside it to awaken the Ancient Demonic Axe beneath the Myriad Demon Abyss. He seized the weapon and attacked Lingxuzi, who answered by summoning the Eastern Mausoleum Domain’s power; their forces collided above the abyss.

• Li Wanmo triggered the blood sacrifice formation, trapping and draining the life essence of more than a thousand Lingxiao Sect disciples and numerous demonic cultivators.
• Lu Changsheng, Shi Jingtian, Tu Jiao, Rui'er, and most of Lingxiao Sect’s elites escaped beyond the formation while the others were consumed as sacrifices.

• Li Wanmo offered his demonic blood essence to the axe, resisted the ancient demon god’s will within it, and gained control of the weapon.
• Li Wanmo cleaved at Lingxuzi with the Ancient Demonic Axe, and Lingxuzi rallied the Eastern Mausoleum Domain’s power through the Domain Seal to meet the strike.

Lingxuzi used the Eastern Mausoleum Domain Seal to defeat Li Wanmo and destroy the Ancient Demonic Axe, but the seal shattered after the battle. Its destruction began draining the Eastern Mausoleum Domain of spiritual qi and vitality, leaving the Lingxiao Sect to return home seeking a solution.

• Lingxuzi drew power from across the Eastern Mausoleum Domain to overpower the Ancient Demonic Axe, while Qing Hui and the Lingxiao Sect survivors shielded themselves from the clash.

• The Lingxiao Sect celebrated its victory, but Qing Hui reported that more than two thousand sect members had died.
• Lingxuzi discovered that the Eastern Mausoleum Domain Seal had shattered and that the domain's spiritual qi and vitality were fading.
• Lingxuzi ordered Qing Hui to lead the survivors back to the sect and keep the seal's destruction secret while he sought a way to restore the spiritual pivot.

After Lingxiao Sect’s victory over Boundless Demonic Palace, the Eastern Mausoleum Domain’s spiritual qi and natural order began rapidly collapsing. Lingxuzi revealed that the only known hope was to borrow the Sky-Mending Divine Cauldron from the North Divine Domain.

• News spread that Lingxiao Sect had destroyed Boundless Demonic Palace, shifting the balance of power in the Eastern Mausoleum Domain.

• Lingxuzi identified the North Divine Domain’s Sky-Mending Divine Cauldron as their only known hope and resolved to seek it.

He chose Lu Changsheng, Shi Jingtian, Tu Jiao, Rui'er, and Qing He for the mission and planned to send them there through an ancient teleportation array.

• Lingxuzi described the North Divine Domain’s many True Monarchs and powerful sects, shocking the Lingxiao Sect’s elders and disciples.

• Lingxuzi revealed that an ancient Cross-Domain Space Teleportation Array in the Lingxiao Sect’s back mountain could take the five disciples to the North Divine Domain.
• Lingxuzi ordered the five to prepare and meet at the back mountain’s forbidden ground in three days, when he would activate the array.

Lu Changsheng and his companions prepared to travel to the North Divine Domain to seek help for the Eastern Mausoleum Domain. After the five entered the ancient cross-domain passage, they began the long journey with their destination and their homeland’s fate ahead of them.

• Lu Changsheng refined the Geng Metal Tribulation Lightning Origin and reached the peak of the ninth layer of the Heaven Piercing Realm.
• Shi Jingtian bid farewell to his fellow disciples, Rui'er neared the fifth-grade Spirit Array Master threshold, and Tu Jiao broke through to the eighth layer of the Primordial Hegemon Body.
• Lingxuzi gave Tu Jiao the Azure Sun Token and sent the five cultivators through the ancient cross-domain teleportation array toward the North Divine Domain.
• The five learned the journey could take ten days to half a month, then settled in to cultivate aboard the Golden Lotus Platform as it traveled through the Spatial Tunnel.

Lu Changsheng and his companions completed their journey through the Spatial Tunnel and arrived in the North Divine Domain near Qing He’s hometown. In the Primordial Wilderness Mountain Range, Qing He reunited with his childhood friend Lin Changfeng, who had been fleeing with an injured group.

• During the journey, the five encountered Void Beasts resting on the tunnel’s spatial membranes and passed them without provoking an attack.
• The Golden Lotus Platform reached the exit, and the group emerged above a vast mountain forest filled with rich Spiritual Qi.
• Rui'er found a stone stele identifying the area as the Primordial Wilderness Mountain Range, and Qing He recognized it as being near Azure Ruins City and his Qing Family’s home.

The battle turned sharply against Wu Chen’s side as Lu Changsheng, Shi Jingtian, and Tu Jiao overwhelmed their powerful opponents, leaving Wu Chen injured and shaken.

• Lin Changfeng explained that Wu Chen had ambushed the Lin Family and claimed the eight Starfall Fruits, prompting Qing He and his companions to agree to help reclaim them.

• Shi Jingtian and Tu Jiao engaged the Wu Family’s eighth-level elders, Rui'er trapped two Wu Family fighters with a spirit array, and Lu Changsheng blocked Wu Chen.
• Lu Changsheng shattered Wu Chen’s palm strike and then exchanged attacks with him, eventually wounding him with a lightning-charged sword finger.
• Shi Jingtian and Tu Jiao gained the upper hand against the Wu elders while Rui'er helped the Lin Family stabilize their position, leaving Wu Chen’s force on the defensive.

Lu Changsheng and his companions defeated Wu Chen and the Wu Family in the valley, then claimed the Starfall Fruits and departed for Azure Ruins City. Qing He returned to his hometown with the group as they approached the city and the challenges awaiting them in the North Divine Domain.

• Lu Changsheng defeated Wu Chen despite the Sea God Halberd, while Shi Jingtian and Tu Jiao overcame the Wu Family elders and the Lin Family defeated the remaining attackers.
• Wu Chen fled with two elders, leaving the Sea God Halberd behind; Lu Changsheng took the weapon, and the group divided the eight Starfall Fruits between themselves and the Lin Family.
• Qing He urged everyone to leave the valley before the Wu Family could retaliate, and Lin Changfeng led them out of the Primordial Wilderness Mountain Range.
• The group reached the outskirts of Azure Ruins City, where Qing He reflected on returning home after ten years.
• Qing He led Lu Changsheng, Shi Jingtian, Tu Jiao, Rui'er, Lin Changfeng, and the Lin Family toward the city gates.

Qing He and the others explored Azure Ruins City before Lu Changsheng and Rui'er visited the Spirit Array Master Alliance to learn about its examinations. The chapter left Wang Ziyu preparing to challenge the entry-grade fourth-grade examination, unaware that Lu Changsheng and Rui'er had already reached advanced fourth grade.

• Qing He and Lin Changfeng guided the group through bustling Azure Ruins City, where they briefly watched demonic beasts fight at Thousand Gold Pavilion.
• Lu Changsheng noticed the Array Alliance branch, and Qing He and Lin Changfeng explained its examinations, membership, and protections for Spirit Array Masters.
• Lu Changsheng and Rui'er entered the Alliance with the others and watched Xiao Qi pass the mid-grade second-grade examination while several other examinees failed.
• Wang Ziyu entered, mocked a failed examinee, and announced that he would take the entry-grade fourth-grade examination.
• Rui'er quietly asked Lu Changsheng whether entry-grade fourth grade was difficult since they were already advanced fourth grade, and Lu Changsheng signaled her to stay calm.

Wang Ziyu completed the fourth-grade beginner examination with a Mysterious Ice Spirit Locking Array, but Rui'er calmly identified flaws in his work. After the examination elders confirmed her criticisms, Rui'er announced that she wanted to test for Grade 4 High-level Spirit Array Master, stunning the hall.

• Wang Ziyu chose the Mysterious Ice Spirit Locking Array and completed the examination while the crowd praised his talent.
• Rui'er pointed out flaws in Wang Ziyu's array, prompting a Wang Family elder to berate her and Shi Jingtian and Tu Jiao to defend her.
• Rui'er explained her criticisms in detail, and the examination elders confirmed that her observations were correct.
• Wang Ziyu mocked Rui'er and questioned her qualifications, so she introduced herself as a nine-year-old Spirit Array Master from the Lingxiao Sect and requested an examination.
• The lean elder rejected the Wang Family elder's regional prejudice and asked Rui'er which grade she wanted to test for.
• Rui'er said she wanted to test for Grade 4 High-level Spirit Array Master, leaving the hall in an uproar.

Nine-year-old Rui'er challenged the Grade 4 High-level Spirit Array Master assessment, drawing disbelief from the hall and mockery from Wang Ziyu. After studying the Azure Edge Sword Rain Array for only half an hour, she formed and activated it with astonishing precision, leaving the assessment elders and spectators stunned.

• Rui'er declared she would take the Grade 4 High-level assessment, and Wang Ziyu mocked her and wagered that he would acknowledge her as his master if she passed.
• The elders accepted Rui'er's application, and she chose the Azure Edge Sword Rain Array from the assessment diagrams.
• Rui'er finished studying the array in half an hour and began the assessment despite the elders' warning to prepare longer.
• Rui'er formed flawless azure-gold spirit seals and assembled the array with precise patterns, silencing the hall and frightening Wang Ziyu.
• Rui'er completed and activated the Azure Edge Sword Rain Array, filling the assessment area with sword shadows powerful enough to threaten late-stage Saint Heaven Realm experts.

Rui'er and Lu Changsheng both passed the Array Alliance's Grade 4 High-level assessment, humbling Wang Ziyu and earning official recognition. Qing He then returned to the Qing Family residence, where Uncle Fu revealed that a terrible crisis had struck the family.

• Rui'er completed a flawless Azure Edge Sword Rain Array, earning the elders' praise while Wang Ziyu was left disgraced.
• Lu Changsheng passed the Grade 4 High-level assessment by creating a powerful Nine Heavens Thunder Lock Array, and he and Rui'er received Array Alliance badges.

• Qing He arrived at the Qing Family residence with his companions and reunited with the steward Uncle Fu.
• Uncle Fu told Qing He that a terrible, earth-shaking event had happened to the Qing Family.
