• Li Fan and the others arrived to find the Immortal Court destroyed, East King Duke near death, and Xihua tending to the survivors.
• Li Fan considered trying to save East King Duke’s Good Corpse, Emperor Donghua, because East King Duke’s true body could not be saved.

After the Immortal-Demon War, Li Fan saved East King Duke by separating his original body from his Good Corpse, which inherited Donghua’s Dao Fruit and became ruler of the Western Extreme. As Donghua began his new role, Li Fan and Wangshu quietly considered the implications of the damaged Chaos Bell.

• Gonggong led Witch Clan warriors across the border, prompting Di Jun to summon the Demon Clan forces and march against the Witch Clan.
• Dijiang and the other Ancestral Witches agreed to activate the Twelve Dutian Divine Fiend Formation, and Houtu worried that the Heavenly Emperor or Hongjun might intervene.
• The Twelve Ancestral Witches formed Pangu True Body above Buzhou Mountain, drawing astonished reactions from Yuanshi, Taishang, Lingbao, Ancestor Dragon, and Yuanfeng.
• Li Fan said Hongjun would intervene because the Heavenly Dao had chosen the Demon Clan, while Goddess Wangshu explained that Taiyi lacked enough Grand Unity Golden Immortals to set up the Ten Thousand Immortals Array.
• Pangu True Body raised a phantom World-Opening Axe, and Taiyi used his essence blood to suppress the Eastern Emperor Bell before it could fly toward the axe.
• Pangu True Body struck Di Jun’s Hunyuan River Diagram Formation, and the Demon Clan troops lost their will to fight as Di Jun despaired.

• Nuwa agreed to join a branch of the Immortal Path Alliance, and Hongjun bestowed Hongmeng Purple Qi on her and the Three Pure Ones.
• Jieyin and Zhunti pleaded for mercy by grabbing Hongjun's legs and invoking the west's hardship, and Hongjun granted them Hongmeng Purple Qi after they agreed to join the Mystical Sect.

Hongjun distributed the final strand of Hongmeng Purple Qi, and it chose Hong Yun, provoking Kunpeng’s murderous resentment. At Grand Unity Palace, Li Fan discussed the Immortal Slaying Sword and the coming age of competition among Saints.

• Hongjun explained that only one strand of Hongmeng Purple Qi remained and released it to choose its owner.

As the crowd left Purple Heaven Palace, the Heavenly Dao ripened Innate Spiritual Treasures and gathered them there, while Li Fan watched its apparent invitation to the Heavenly Emperor.

• Hongjun gave Taiqing the Taiji Diagram, Yuanshi the Pangu Banner, and Lingbao the incomplete Immortal Slaying Sword Formation, then explained its limits against the Heavenly Emperor and Taiyin Star Lord.

• When the other experts begged for treasures, Hongjun announced that his three preachings had ended and that he would merge with the Dao unless a World Calamity occurred.
• Hongjun directed the gathered experts to seek treasures at Treasure Distribution Rock, then vanished as the doors of Purple Heaven Palace opened and the crowd flew toward the Primordial World.
• The Heavenly Dao poured out its origin to accelerate the birth of Innate Beings and ripen Innate Spiritual Treasures, which streamed to Treasure Distribution Rock.
• Li Fan watched the treasures gather at the rock and thought the Heavenly Dao seemed to be inviting the Heavenly Emperor to take whatever he wanted.

Li Fan and the other powers collected treasures from Treasure Distribution Rock before Li Fan claimed the rock itself. Back at Grand Unity Palace, he prepared to visit Pangu Hall with Wangshu, Taiyuan, Ziguang, and Nuwa as Hongjun neared merging with the Dao.

• Li Fan, the Three Goddesses, and the other arrivals collected Innate Spiritual Treasures from Treasure Distribution Rock, while Kunpeng regretted missing a compatible treasure and Zhen Yuanzi kept Hong Yun away from the gathering.

• Li Fan told the Twelve Ancestral Witches that the Reincarnation, Darkness, Death, Soul, Yellow Springs, and Curse Demon Gods were confronting the Earthly Dao in the Nine Netherworlds.
• Houtu and Wangshu supported an attack, and Li Fan proposed that the Ancestral Witches use the Twelve Dutian Divine Fiend Formation to break through while Hongjun guarded the exit.
• The group agreed to wait one hundred thousand years for the Ancestral Witches to heal, and Houtu privately resolved to bear her connection to the Earthly Dao alone.
• Li Fan ordered Juling Xuan Yue to take the Hall of Myriad Gods back to the Heavenly Realm and prepared to meet the Ancestral Witches at Mount Tai.
• One hundred thousand years later, Houtu and the Ancestral Witches arrived at Mount Tai, where Li Fan declared his intent to defeat the Reincarnation Demon God.

Li Fan and his allies opened a stable passage from the Primordial World into the Nine Netherworlds and confronted the Chaos Demon Gods there. They surrounded the Reincarnation Demon God, who realized the Primordial World’s forces had come prepared.

• Houtu summoned the Twelve Ancestral Witches to form Pangu True Body, which used the World-Opening Axe to tear open a gateway at Mount Tai.
• Li Fan suppressed the Nine Netherworlds’ invading yin qi and used the Hongmeng Measuring Ruler to stabilize the passage through the boundary membrane.
• The Reincarnation Demon God sensed the passage and charged toward it, intent on crushing the Primordial World and restoring his order of Reincarnation.
• Li Fan, Wangshu, Taiyuan, and Ziguang entered the Nine Netherworlds with Pangu True Body, while Nuwa fled.
• The Reincarnation Demon God recognized their strength and Pangu True Body, but Li Fan blocked his retreat and the group surrounded him.

Li Fan, Goddess Taiyuan, Goddess Wangshu, Empress Ziguang, and Houtu’s Pangu True Body cornered the Reincarnation Demon God, while five other Demon Gods plotted to flee through the Return to Ruins. Reincarnation used the clash with the Sky-Opening Axe Light to shatter the Supreme Great Emperor Fengdu Authority, devastating the Nine Netherworlds and breaking the Twelve Dutian Divine Fiend Formation.

• Li Fan, Goddess Taiyuan, Goddess Wangshu, Empress Ziguang, and Houtu’s Pangu True Body attacked the Reincarnation Demon God from every direction, leaving him trapped under their combined strikes.
• Darkness, Curse, Yellow Springs, Soul, and Death decided not to aid Reincarnation and planned to escape through the Return to Ruins with Earthly Dao’s three Supreme Grade Innate Spiritual Treasures.
• The Reincarnation Demon God revealed that he held the Supreme Great Emperor Fengdu Authority and deliberately let Houtu’s Sky-Opening Axe Light strike it.
• The shattered authority released a blast that split the lands of the Nine Netherworlds, displaced the Netherworld’s Ghost Gate Pass, and wounded the Earth Dao Origin.
• Shen Tu, Yu Lei, Xuanming, and Hunyuan Golden Immortals from the Dragon and Phoenix clans struggled to stabilize the damage as Houtu’s Pangu True Body exploded apart and the Twelve Dutian Divine Fiend Formation broke.

Li Fan, Taiyuan, Wangshu, and Ziguang sealed the Reincarnation Demon God's Dao Fruit and knocked him down from the Hunyuan Grand Unity Realm. With the Reincarnation Demon God suppressed, Li Fan turned attention to the Earthly Dao, which was beginning to emerge.

• Taiyuan used the Heavenly Book of Investiture of the Gods to form a Divine Prohibition Grand Formation with Li Fan, Wangshu, and Ziguang, trapping the Reincarnation Demon God.
• The Earthly Dao manifested in the Nine Netherworlds, and the Six Paths Reincarnation Disk flew from Houtu's pendant.
• Li Fan and the other three combined their powers to seal the Reincarnation Demon God's Dao Fruit, making him fall from the Hunyuan Grand Unity Realm.
• Taiyuan dispersed the formation, and she and Wangshu remarked on the battle and their gains from it.
• Zhu Jiuyin asked Li Fan where the other five Demon Gods were, and Li Fan told him to ask the Earthly Dao.
• Li Fan recognized that the Earthly Dao was about to emerge and that its Earth Dao Saint Position still carried its supreme authority.
