Peony discovered that souls attached to the white bones could enter the Ancient Battlefield’s Small World when the bones transformed into Blood Mist, and Wang Jixuan prepared to test the method with his Dragon Python Strange Soul. As he waited for the Blood Mist to return, Venerable Zhihui and his allies gathered to discuss whether their plan would draw Wang Jixuan into the Ancient Battlefield.

• Wang Jixuan had Immortal Scarabs collect more than 136,000 white bones from the desert after Peony warned that the battlefield would not merge with the Main World for centuries.
• Peony’s experiments showed that energy simulating baleful aura turned the white bones into Blood Mist, and she deduced that an attached soul could enter the Small World with them.

Strange Hand Amei led him toward the Evil Spirit born from the Afterimage of the Taiyin Star, which might reveal Red Snake’s whereabouts, while Huang Langyu and others entered the ruined world.

• Strange Hand Amei summoned Strange Head Aliang, who confirmed that a Grand Beginning Golden Immortal had hidden the location of a strange woman but could not find her.
• Aliang showed Wang Jixuan an image of Zhihui and other Golden Immortals setting up formations, and Wang Jixuan concluded they had arranged the Ancient Battlefield trap to target him and Red Snake.

• Amei led Wang Jixuan toward the Evil Spirit of the Afterimage of the Taiyin Star, while Huang Langyu and several others slowly squeezed through a passage into the ruined world.

Wang Jixuan entered the Lunar Star projection and met Layman Luoshan, who had saved Red Snake and asked him to help restore life to the dying land. After Wang Jixuan admitted he could not yet answer whether he could save the Immortal Realm if the Heavenly Dao collapsed, Luoshan offered to eliminate the enemies pursuing him in exchange for his help.

• Cang Ze led Huang Langyu’s group of Golden Immortals and selected Heavenly Immortals toward Wang Jixuan’s Strange Soul Puppet, while privately considering how he might exploit Black Obsidian’s Core Circuit.
• Wang Jixuan and Strange Hand passed through the red curtain into a sheltered immortal island, where they met the powerful Layman Luoshan and discovered Red Snake trapped on a spiderweb.

• Layman Luoshan offered to eliminate the approaching enemies in exchange for Wang Jixuan’s help, and Wang Jixuan accepted the deal and asked to enter and leave the place freely with a Storage Magic Treasure.

Wang Jixuan watched as Layman Luoshan ambushed a group of cultivators with baleful aura, but Cang Ze used the Heavenly Dao Tablet to shield them. Layman Luoshan escalated the attack, and Cang Ze led the survivors toward the Blood Moon as the battle’s outcome remained uncertain.

• Wang Jixuan watched through Layman Luoshan’s water mirror as Black Obsidian, Huang Langyu, Venerable Zhihui, Cang Ze, and their allies tracked him toward the Blood Moon.
• Layman Luoshan unleashed baleful aura against the group, and his mirror wounded Venerable Zhihui until Cang Ze protected her with the Heavenly Dao Tablet.
• Layman Luoshan intensified his assault, but the Heavenly Dao Tablet held back the baleful aura while Cang Ze and the others recovered and prepared to break out.
• Wang Jixuan urged Layman Luoshan to enlist the strange creatures against the intruders, and Layman Luoshan summoned a sea of blood and dozens of powerful horrors.
• When Venerable Zhihui tried to tear open the universe, a beam from the Blood Moon wounded her, so Cang Ze pulled her into the Heavenly Dao Tablet and led the group toward the Blood Moon.

Wang Jixuan watched Layman Luoshan defeat the attackers’ assault on the Blood Moon, though the Heavenly Dao helped Cang Ze and the others escape and struck Layman Luoshan in return. As the Ancient Battlefield Small World neared collapse, Wang Jixuan agreed to help Layman Luoshan revive it and contain its baleful aura, while secretly hoping to advance the Third Base’s plans.

• Layman Luoshan overwhelmed Cang Ze and the other experts with the Blood Moon and Severed Finger, but the Heavenly Dao intervened to heal Cang Ze and protect Venerable Zhihui.

• Wang Jixuan offered to help Layman Luoshan bring life back to the world and keep its baleful aura from spilling out.

After the hostile factions blamed him for their losses and vowed to attack, Spear God Palace’s elders considered his proposal, while Wang Jixuan prepared to send Autonomous Mechs into the Ancient Battlefield.

• Wang Jixuan agreed with Layman Luoshan to control the bizarre creatures, invite the God Palaces to participate, and use the Small World as a base of operations.
• Cang Ze told the surviving hostile Golden Immortals that Wang Jixuan had allied with the Blood Sun’s Severed Finger, and Huang Langyu urged them to mobilize troops against him.

• Wang Jixuan offered to guarantee the creatures would not harm innocents and explained how the baleful aura could benefit the God Palaces, but Luo Tianjin asked him to wait while the elders discussed the proposal.
• Wang Jixuan instructed Peony to send deranged Autonomous Mechs with corrosion-resistant bodies into the Ancient Battlefield.

Wang Jixuan brought three Golden Immortal elders into the Ancient Battlefield Small World to show them how its fiendish aura could be used and discuss cooperation with its inhabitants. The elders met Amei and Layman Luoshan, who revealed the Heaven and Earth Human Seal, leaving them stunned.

• Bai Ning told Wang Jixuan that four Immortal Palaces were marching toward the Small World and that the elders wanted him to reconsider associating with bizarre objects.
• Wang Jixuan asked the elders to visit the Small World so he could demonstrate the fiendish aura’s value and discuss resisting their enemies with Layman Luoshan.
• Luo Tianjin, Zheng Yijian, and Lu Qinglin entered the Small World with Wang Jixuan, Feng Zheng, and Bai Ning, where they examined its powerful fiendish aura.
• Amei appeared, teased Wang Jixuan, transformed into a woman, and led the group toward Layman Luoshan’s courtyard.
• Layman Luoshan showed the elders a blood-stained seal, and Luo Tianjin recognized it as the Heaven and Earth Human Seal.

• The three Immortal Palaces mobilized troops, and Luo Tianjin revealed that Layman Luoshan was Princess Jietian, who held the Human King Seal.
• Wang Jixuan showed the elders three Mechs and explained that they could work in baleful aura because they had no souls or spirit bodies.

• The Beast God Palace, Night God Palace, and Fire God Palace sent armies against the Spear God Palace, while the Human Race’s three palaces gathered their forces in response.
• Black Obsidian recognized that his desire to provoke a war might come from the Heavenly Dao, but he still wanted conflict to create opportunities for spreading the mechanical plan.
• Cang Ze proposed planting treasures or rumors in the Small World to provoke the Immortal Palaces and suggested framing a woman whose Dao Heart had become chaotic.
• Wang Jixuan explained mechanical thought to the Golden Immortal elders, who approved his plan to transform the Small World with Layman Luoshan and promised their support.
• Wang Jixuan saw the opposing forces massing outside and doubted that they would fight, then received simultaneous summons from Luo Tianjin and his master.

Wang Jixuan heard competing advice from Luo Tianjin and Sword Nine about the Human King Seal and tried to prepare for a possible conflict outside the Ancient Battlefield. Inside, he confirmed the Mechs could withstand baleful qi and began planning defenses and a new civilization, but a rumor suddenly named him the chosen Human King Sacred Body.

• Luo Tianjin urged Wang Jixuan to persuade the princess to place the Human King Seal under the three factions' joint control, while Sword Nine warned him not to get caught up in the struggle over the Seal and a possible new Human King.
• Wang Jixuan told Sword Nine he would work through the bones and proposed that Sword Nine target Dark Cultists if fighting broke out; Sword Nine left him a protective sword barrier.
• Wang Jixuan returned to the Ancient Battlefield and found thousands of Mechs unharmed by baleful qi, then discussed with Layman Luoshan and Peony using cloned cells to contain and transport it.
• Wang Jixuan ordered Peony to expand the Mechs, build three defensive lines, and prepare to establish a civilization in the Small World.
• Peony suddenly returned and told Wang Jixuan that a rumor had spread calling him the chosen Human King Sacred Body.

• Wang Jixuan ordered Peony to dispel the rumors and hide his true body, while Hermit Luoshan warned that the Heavenly Dao parasite was stirring the Alien Races against him.
• Luo Tianjin and the Human Race elders examined Wang Jixuan, found no sign of the Human King Sacred Body, and agreed to protect him; Wang asked Luo to keep him close.
• Huang Langyu and the Alien Race leaders gathered their forces after Cang Ze revealed that the Human King Seal and an Ancient Human Race Princess were in the Ancient Battlefield.

• Wang Jixuan accused the Dark Cult’s Vice Cult Masters of spreading the false claim, and an unidentified attacker launched a beam of immortal light at him.

Wang Jixuan used a speech to halt an imminent battle at Duan Yun Desert by accusing the Dark Cult of manipulating the Eight Great Immortal Palaces, and the factions agreed to investigate before returning in three days. In a private meeting afterward, Cang Ze admitted the Dark Cult had concealed information and urged the other palaces to help eliminate Wang Jixuan, while promising their support against the Human King Seal.

• Cang Ze swore the Dark Cult would help destroy the Human King Seal if the other factions helped eliminate Wang Jixuan, and Zhihui left to summon reinforcements.

Wang Jixuan learned that Professor Shen’s research had enabled Second Base to use bacteria to absorb malevolent qi, giving its forces a way to threaten ordinary immortal soldiers and strongholds. As Duan Yun Desert’s battle drew closer, Cang Ze ordered the Dark Cult to provoke conflict and accept heavy casualties, while Wang Jixuan prepared Second Base to support the Human Race’s Three Immortal Palaces.

• Wang Jixuan returned to Second Base, discussed its fleet, the Human King Seal, and the difficulty of using malevolent qi, then fell asleep while Peony worked.
• Cang Ze and six Old Golden Immortals debated how to spark a war, and Cang Ze ordered Black Obsidian back to Dark Cult headquarters to research mechanical matters.
• Cang Ze ordered the Dark Cult to exploit Fire God Palace’s weaknesses and attack Spear God Palace’s immortal island, declaring that casualties did not matter.

• Wang Jixuan learned Professor Shen would arrive in seven or eight days and ordered Peony to prepare a laboratory for her.

Wang Jixuan persuaded Layman Luoshan to entrust the Human King Seal to a Grand Beginning Golden Immortal rather than one of the Three Immortal Palaces, then showed him the Mechanical Civilization. As the Duan Yun Battle drew near, Wang Jixuan secretly contacted Huang Qian'er of Fire God Palace to discuss the seal.

• Wang Jixuan received Jian Wu's urgent message warning that the Human King Seal could divide the Three Immortal Palaces and urging him to persuade Layman Luoshan to hand it to a trustworthy Grand Beginning Golden Immortal.

• The Immortal Palaces gathered reinforcements as the battle deadline approached, while Wang Jixuan secretly contacted Huang Qian'er to discuss the Human King Seal.

Huang Qian'er was ambushed by a disguised Wang Jixuan, and the resulting deception triggered a massive battle among the immortal palaces. As the fighting spread around the Spear God Palace, the real Wang Jixuan prepared to disrupt the enemy and warn His Highness.

• A disguised Wang Jixuan lured Huang Qian'er into the Duan Yun Desert, wounded her with a sword attack, and used divine light to make her accuse the Sword God Palace of plotting to monopolize the Human King Seal.

• Jian Wu urged Wang Jixuan to disrupt the enemy with his bombs and warn His Highness if their experts entered the Ancient Battlefield, and Wang Jixuan agreed to improvise.

Wang Jixuan deployed the Second Base’s Mechanical Army at Spear God Palace Immortal Island, turning the battle against the Hundred Races into a Human Race victory. As Luo Tianjin arrived to congratulate him, Wang Jixuan sensed danger and dodged an attack from an impostor.

• Wang Jixuan ordered Peony to prepare a harassment plan while he summoned the Mechanical Army through Gate Thirteen.
• Peony’s two million mechs and heavy weapons surrounded Spear God Palace Immortal Island and opened fire on the Hundred Races Immortal Soldiers, killing or disabling tens of thousands.
• Wang Jixuan had the island’s grand formation disabled and directed the Human Race soldiers to defend it, while the Mechanical Army’s attacks forced the Hundred Races to retreat.
• The Human Race’s Three Immortal Palaces pursued the retreating forces as their advantage grew, and Wang Jixuan chose not to use nuclear bombs.
• A figure pretending to be Luo Tianjin descended toward Wang Jixuan, but Wang Jixuan sensed the ambush and leaped away as the impostor fired golden beams at him.

Wang Jixuan survived a disguised Golden Immortal’s ambush with help from Sword Nine, while the Fire God Palace confronted the other factions over the attack on Huang Qian’er. As the Immortal Palaces prepared to advance the battle, Jian Wu told Wang Jixuan that several Tianluo Experts, including an old acquaintance surnamed Shao, had come to see him.

• A false Luo Tianjin attacked Wang Jixuan, but his Strange Soul Dragon Head and Sword Nine’s protective sword phantom weakened the strike before the real Nine Spirits Sword Venerable drove off the attacker.
• Luo Tianjin returned, confirmed Wang Jixuan had only a minor primordial spirit injury, and let the human forces celebrate their limited victory as the Fire God Palace withdrew.
• Huang Jiuling demanded answers from the Hundred Races’ leaders and nearly killed Cang Ze before Granny Li Tian intervened; Cang Ze denied the Dark Cult’s involvement and urged the factions to target the Human King Seal and Mechanical Fiend.

• Wang Jixuan asked for an immortal island to serve as a temporary firepower fortress as the Sword God Palace prepared to challenge the enemy again.
• Jian Wu received a jade talisman saying several Tianluo Experts wanted to meet Wang Jixuan, including an Artifact Refining Grandmaster surnamed Shao.

After inspecting the Ancient Battlefield’s growing Mech production base, Wang Jixuan heard Layman Luoshan offer to teach him the Ancient Body Forging Secret Method before war broke out.

• Wang Jixuan met Senior Shao, who explained that Heavenly Net had restricted him from leaving and delivered the Vice Alliance Leader’s message.
• Wang Jixuan said he would not proactively target Heavenly Net if it stopped aiding the Dark Cult, and asked Senior Shao to urge the Heavenly Net Alliance Leader to return from besieging the Moon God Palace Master.

• Layman Luoshan offered to teach Wang Jixuan the Ancient Body Forging Secret Method, which could greatly increase his strength within an hour.

Layman Luoshan explained the ancient origins of human cultivation and taught Wang Jixuan how to forge a supreme deity using malicious aura. Wang Jixuan began the dangerous ritual, with his primordial spirit entering the baleful aura to connect with the Great Dao.

• Layman Luoshan told Wang Jixuan how humanity rose from weakness, created the cultivated Primordial Qi Sacred Body, and became embroiled in an ancient war among races.
• Layman Luoshan explained that forging a supreme deity meant cultivating illusory Dao Principle Fragments and planting one’s own mark in a Great Dao, then offered Wang Jixuan her seeds of death and slaughter.
• Wang Jixuan questioned what Layman Luoshan expected in return, but she said she wanted him to grow stronger and cooperate with her; Sword Nine supported accepting her gift.
• Wang Jixuan arranged for his Bone Puppet to handle the immortal-island transfer, then sat for the ritual as Layman Luoshan invoked the Human King Seal and recited a mnemonic.

• As Amei played the jade zither, Wang Jixuan’s primordial spirit left his body unharmed and entered the baleful aura, where several Great Daos began to unfold before him.

Wang Jixuan tempered his body with the Great Dao of Death and began comprehending its power as Sword Intent while the Human Race and the Hundred Races prepared for a massive battle around the Mechanical Army’s fortresses. The chapter ended as Wang Jixuan’s Great Dao of Slaughter also began forming into a second Sword Intent.

• Wang Jixuan absorbed the baleful aura as Layman Luoshan refined it, unknowingly strengthening his Dao body through an ancient body-tempering method.
• Peony and Little Hua Ting helped fortify the immortal islands with Mechs and cannons as both sides gathered more than 2.3 million immortal troops and prepared for war.

• Bai Ning and Feng Zheng saw a Blood Moon projection appear above the Spear God Palace Immortal Island and realized Wang Jixuan was comprehending the Great Dao of Death as Sword Intent.
• Layman Luoshan watched Wang Jixuan’s Death Sword Intent take shape, then was shocked when a blood-colored aura revealed that his Great Dao of Slaughter was forming a second Sword Intent.

Wang Jixuan’s astonishing comprehension in the Ancient Battlefield led him to form Sword Intents for wood, stars, and time alongside slaughter and death.

Protected outside the world by Jian Wu and other elders, he discovered he had advanced to a first-grade Celestial Immortal as Peony prepared to command the Mechs against Brahma’s forces.

• The human Grand Beginning Golden Immortals praised Wang Jixuan, gave him a token ring, and the Golden Immortal elders gathered around him until Jian Wu took him away.
• Jian Wu brought Wang Jixuan and Bai Ning to the Sword God Palace, where Luo Tianjin tried to recruit him and joked about marrying him to his granddaughter.

Peony and Wang Jixuan used the Mechanical Army, nuclear missiles, and nanorobots carrying baleful aura to break the Hundred Races' defenses. As the Human Race advanced, the infected enemy rear ranks fell into chaos, turning the battle in their favor.

• Peony ordered the Mechanical Army to fire missiles and long-range weapons, while the Human Race and Hundred Races exchanged attacks across the battlefield.

• Tens of thousands of Hundred Races soldiers screamed as the baleful aura corroded their bodies, and the Human Race advanced as the Mechanical Immortal Island charged forward.
