Fang Mo used Dragon Skeleton: Prison Suppression to shatter the three-headed beast’s crystal core, letting the four True Lords kill it and end the storm.

Tianyuan Base prepared for battle after learning of the attack on Base No. 9, but reconnaissance revealed an immense flock of ice-crystal monster birds emerging from Black Abyss Gorge and rushing toward the city.

• Fang Mo, True Lord Tianluo, and True Monarch Qingshui raced to the Teleportation Gate and escaped the domain.

Fang Mo and the others escaped a dangerous alien-beast domain and discovered that it was devouring the life force and souls of inhabitants to expand. At the Divine Hall, True Lord Yunhe revealed that coordinated invasions had spread across the Ancient Realm, and the meeting turned to the threat behind them.

• Fang Mo told Monarch Qingshui and Lord Tianluo that the domain was draining the life energy and divine souls of frozen people to strengthen itself, and Lord Tianluo confirmed his observation.

• Elder Xuan Ku questioned Fang Mo about whether a force was directing the exotic beasts, and Fang Mo explained that unpurified Primal Spirit Fragments were likely behind their coordinated attacks.
• Fang Mo conjectured that the evil source beneath the Nine Heavens Divine Pillars was guiding the beasts to consume living beings and plane origins, weakening or polluting the seal.

• Yunhe ordered Fang Mo to join the Purge Team and assist Qingshui, Han Li, and Yuanhua with its affairs.
• Cen Feng told Fang Mo to use Taichu Peak’s reserves and his machines when needed, and promised that Fang Mo could call on him if he could not win.

• Gu Yu complained to Fire-Refining True Lord that Fang Mo was too inexperienced to assist in managing the Purge Team, and Fire-Refining True Lord cited Fang Mo’s achievements and the Yin Ruins as reasons for his appointment.
• Fire-Refining True Lord told Gu Yu that the sect’s leaders might be using Fang Mo because of what he had learned in the Yin Ruins, then urged him to find an opportunity for Imperial Sky Peak in the Guoluo Star Domain.
• Fang Mo returned to his residence, felt uneasy about his new authority, and asked Xiao Jingsheng to arrange a meeting with the hall masters, stewards, and Elder Consecrates.
• Ling Cangyan appeared and told Fang Mo that the Heavenly Venerables could trace his origins and likely valued his record-breaking talent rather than harboring a scheme against him.
• Fang Mo kept his Bronze Mirror and Ancestral Dragon Blade secret, accepted Ling Cangyan’s advice to focus on strength, and resolved to move forward boldly.

Fang Mo managed Taichu Peak’s response to the beast tide, then refined the Azure Gale Wind Core in seclusion. He gained the eleventh Soul Beast Battle Mark, the Azure Gale Dragon Mark, and a new wind-element Innate Supernatural Ability.

• Fang Mo coordinated the beast tide defenses and resource allocation, sending seven Venerables and thirty True Man Realm cultivators to the clearing squads, including Lu Yuechan.
• Fang Mo returned to the dojo exhausted, where Guan Lu comforted him and told him that Luo Jiangyan was in seclusion while Yue Quan hunted exotic beasts with Feng Xuyang and others.

• Fang Mo tested his new wind-element Innate Supernatural Ability by forming a cutting jade-green vortex at his fingertip.

Fang Mo was summoned to the extermination squad meeting, where True Lord Yunhe assigned him an assistant role and revealed the squad’s first target: a powerful beast on the Celestial Origin Continent.

• True Lord Yunhe identified a Heaven Penetrating Level beast on the Celestial Origin Continent as the first target because its Origin Frost Domain was nearing completion.
• True Lord Hanli agreed to lead the assault and requested that Fang Mo accompany the force; Fang Mo accepted the sect’s arrangement.

Fang Mo and the Tianli Sect prepared to enter the Celestial Origin Continent, but several major powers arrived and contested their authority. The factions agreed to search separately and claim the exotic beast by their own strength, and Fang Mo entered the frigid domain wary of the True Lords watching him.

• True Lord Hanli assigned Fang Mo to lead Teams Four and Five as the vanguard scout into the Celestial Origin Continent.
• Forces from several major powers arrived at the Teleportation Gate, led by ten True Lords and accompanied by dozens of Venerables.

After passing through a city frozen with its inhabitants, Fang Mo sensed danger and his group formed a battle formation as a blizzard swept around them.

• Fang Mo sensed two powerful frost sources, and True Lord Hanli split the Tianli Sect’s squads to investigate while True Monarch Yuanhua established a base.

• Fang Mo sensed an approaching threat, ordered everyone to prepare for battle, and his group formed a defensive formation as the blizzard intensified.

Fang Mo fought through a vast horde of ice beasts, displaying combat strength that shocked the concealed True Lord Jinyan. Jinyan’s plan to ambush him faltered, and he considered regrouping with his Senior Brother or waiting for other factions to act.

• The ice-blue birds and ice-element beasts attacked the cultivators, and True Lord Dingjun, True Lord Crimson Sun, Fang Mo, and True Lord Tianluo helped clear the horde.

True Lord Lingxiao and True Lord Yuchen watched Fang Mo’s battle and decided his growing strength made him a threat worth eliminating, while planning to use the coming chaos to their advantage. After Fang Mo grew stronger by absorbing the beasts’ essence blood, True Lord Tianluo and True Lord Dingjun confronted Ye Wuming, who escaped after clashing with them.

Fang Mo, True Lord Crimson Sun, and True Lord Tianluo fought through the endless ice beasts to reach the glacier, where they found a Dark Nether Ice Phoenix absorbing the world's origin energy as it evolved.

As the phoenix neared its final transformation and the defenders were badly wounded, a mysterious woman intervened with a colossal ice-blue sword.

• True Lord Crimson Sun and True Lord Tianluo attacked the Dark Nether Ice Phoenix, but its cold domain and defenses repelled them and injured them.
