During his Spirit Transformation Inner Demon Tribulation, Chen Sanshi saw his loved ones and comrades secretly using blood sacrifices to improve their cultivation, then faced a choice between punishing them and saving Sun Li. He recognized the scene as an illusion, rejected the demon’s twisted version of his senior sister, and destroyed it with his sword.

• Chen Sanshi noticed baleful aura growing on Sun Li and the veteran generals, but they concealed its source from him.
• Qianxun discovered that the Crown Prince, Sun Li, and the generals were gathering beneath an abandoned Mountain God Temple, where cultivators were being held for blood sacrifices.
• Chen Sanshi confronted them and learned that they had built the site to strengthen themselves through sacrifices, while insisting the victims were criminals or enemies from Tianshui.
• His loved ones and comrades urged him to kill a Qingxuan Mountain cultivator so Sun Li could improve her talent, and Chen Sanshi nearly gave in.

• Chen Sanshi realized the false Sun Li was unlike his real senior sister and struck her inner-demon form down with his sword.

After overcoming an Inner Demon Tribulation, Chen Sanshi faced an extraordinary Deity Transformation tribulation that escalated from eighty-one lightning bolts to a God Slaying Platform summoned by an immortal.

• Chen Sanshi used the Heavenly Stars Array for Resisting Tribulation to withstand eighty-one increasingly powerful lightning bolts and absorb their laws.

• Chen Sanshi ignited his primordial spirit and destroyed the guillotine and execution platform with a law-infused fire dragon, collapsing from exhaustion as the Void Rift disappeared.
• A golden river of law fragments poured over Chen Sanshi, restoring his depleted true essence, vital energy, and damaged primordial spirit while making his spirit stronger than before.

Chen Sanshi emerged from years of seclusion after reaching Deity Transformation, but he failed to comprehend Martial Path Divine Intent. He joined Li Guanfu’s plan to attack Kunxu, while Xuanqiongzi met secretly with Bai Ze.

• Chen Sanshi strengthened his primordial spirit after absorbing the God Slaying Platform’s laws, then spent years trying to enter the Martial Path Divine Intent Realm.

Xuanqiongzi and Bai Ze discussed the upper realm’s orders to seize the demon seed, while Chen Sanshi prepared Great Han’s invasion of Tianshui. After Murong Buxu arrived and demonstrated his Divine Intent domain, Chen Sanshi faced an overwhelming attack inside a black-and-white world.

• Xuanqiongzi and Bai Ze compared the immortal decrees demanding the demon seed and speculated that it was connected to the withering of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy.
• Chen Sanshi prepared a 1.8-million-strong Great Han army for the expedition, and his Dragon Gallant Bright Silver Spear was reforged into a Spiritually Connected Ancient Treasure.
• Murong Buxu arrived with the Slay Immortal Sect, tested Chen Sanshi in a spar, and confirmed that Great Han could march into Tianshui and attack Kunxu.
• Chen Sanshi led the army toward the Teleportation Array and asked Murong Buxu for guidance on Divine Intent; Murong instead demonstrated his Mountain and River Painting domain.
• Murong Buxu’s domain transported Chen Sanshi into a monochrome world, where attacks from all directions sent him crashing through ink-black mountains as Murong became indistinguishable from the domain’s laws.

Chen Sanshi joined the expedition to attack Kunxu, while Li Guanfu, Zhang Huaiqing, and Jiang Xiyue tried to destroy a spiritual vein to draw out Xuanqiongzi. After Xuanqiongzi offered Jiang Xiyue a way to reclaim her body and reunite with her mother, she refused to surrender the demonic seed and prepared to fight.

Jiang Xiyue, Zhang Huaiqing, and Li Guanfu fought Xuanqiongzi while Zhang Huaiqing trapped him in a formation strengthened by Qingxu Sect Destiny. As Chen Lei’s forces attacked Kunxu, Chen Sanshi led the Han Dynasty army against the sect and told Situ Ting that Kunxu had been cut off from reinforcements.

• Jiang Xiyue vowed to avenge her father, and she, Zhang Huaiqing, and Li Guanfu attacked Xuanqiongzi, who overwhelmed them with his Taiyi Flying Swords.

• Xuanqiongzi learned that Chen Lei had mobilized an army against Kunxu, while Li Guanfu insisted their aim was to kill him.
• Mu Qing Ming and Kunxu’s disciples saw a vast Han Dynasty army arrive above the mountain range, and Situ Ting ordered the sect to prepare for battle and call for reinforcements.

• Chen Sanshi told Situ Ting that Kunxu had already been isolated and would receive no reinforcements.

Purple Sun Palace and Slay Immortal Sect moved against Kunxu as Chen Sanshi led the Han army in breaking its Mountain Protecting Formation. Chen Sanshi fought Situ Ting, who summoned the flying swords across the battlefield, but Tai'a resisted him and returned to Chen Sanshi’s hand.

• Yun Qingxiao ordered He Zhiqiou and Sikong Sheng to reinforce Kunxu, but Sikong Sheng refused, while Xiao Juechen rejected Zhao Zhenyi’s offer to join the Slay Immortal Sect and fought him instead.
