Xiao Ze and Mandala reached the Ancient Heavenly Palace and considered how to enter its dangerous, shattered void. Before sending in the Holy Flame Legion to search for the Heavenly Emperor Mausoleum, Xiao Ze captured and killed Lu Heng, revealing that the Demon Emperor had influenced him.

• Mandala recognized the Ancient Heavenly Palace and explained that its unstable space made it dangerous for powerful experts to enter directly.

• Xiao Ze revealed a plaza inside a floating mountain, where Mandala recognized the figure standing there as the Heavenly Emperor.

Xiao Ze revealed that the figure wearing the Heavenly Emperor’s appearance was the Sky-Devouring Demon Emperor, while the Heavenly Emperor had been reduced to the corrupted head beneath the Heavenly Emperor Sword. After Xiao Ze freed the Heavenly Emperor’s remnant Spirit Shadow, the emperor explained he could only keep guarding the demon, but Xiao Ze offered to help.

• The Heavenly Emperor greeted Mandala and recognized Xiao Ze’s Circumstellar Map, which Xiao Ze said he had inherited from the Chaos Divine Emperor.
• The Heavenly Emperor said his remnant could not destroy the Sky-Devouring Demon Emperor and would have to guard him until the Heavenly Emperor Sword wore him away, and Xiao Ze offered to help.

Xiao Ze persuaded the Heavenly Emperor to trust him and used the Circumstellar Map to confront the Sky-Devouring Demon Emperor. Their first clash left the Demon Emperor's devouring hand dissolving beneath Xiao Ze's Calamity Immeasurable Tribulation.

Xiao Ze used the Calamity Immeasurable Tribulation to trap the weakened Sky-Devouring Demon Emperor, who self-destructed one of his two demonic hearts in an attempt to escape. Xiao Ze captured the remaining demon with Stars Aligning Shift and handed it to the Heavenly Emperor, who prepared to finish the fiend.

• The Sky-Devouring Demon Emperor’s demonic barriers crumbled under Xiao Ze’s purple-cyan tribulation clouds, and he decided to self-destruct to escape.

• Xiao Ze handed the trapped Sky-Devouring Demon Emperor to the Heavenly Emperor, who vowed to destroy the remaining demon.

The Heavenly Emperor used the Heavenly Emperor Sword and Origin Emperor Flame to destroy the Sky-Devouring Demon Emperor, while Xiao Ze collected its remaining Demonic Soul. The Heavenly Emperor offered Xiao Ze One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones, but Xiao Ze declined because his cultivation path was incompatible and suggested Mandala as a successor.

• The Heavenly Emperor explained that protecting the Great Thousand World meant he had won, then attacked the Sky-Devouring Demon Emperor with the Heavenly Emperor Sword.

• The Heavenly Emperor offered to pass One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones to Xiao Ze, who declined because it might conflict with the Tree of Origin and his cultivation path.
• Xiao Ze suggested that Mandala try learning the divine ability, and the Heavenly Emperor considered her talent suitable.

Mandala accepted the Heavenly Emperor’s inheritance of One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones, but Xiao Ze first helped her restore her complete form. After fusing with her Ancient Mandala Flower, Mandala reached the level just shy of Heavenly Supreme, leaving open the possibility that she could advance further before receiving the inheritance.

• The Heavenly Emperor asked Mandala whether she was willing to accept One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones and shoulder greater responsibility against the Outer Realm Evil Race, and Mandala agreed.

• Xiao Ze told the Heavenly Emperor he had the remains of an Immortal Grade Ancient Mandala Flower that Mandala might fuse with to reach Heavenly Supreme.

• Several months later, heavy black clouds gathered above the Heavenly Emperor Mausoleum, and Xiao Ze and the Heavenly Emperor identified the Heavenly Venerate Tribulation.

Mandala faced the Heavenly Venerate Tribulation outside the Golden Lotus Spirit Pool, using the God Binding Whip, her Mandala Flower abilities, and the resources available to her as helmsman of the Origin Realm.
