Zhou Ming and Houtu returned to the Ninth Chaos and saw how the Primordial World had grown stronger, with Di Jiang nearing Dao attainment while Wu struggled along the Martial Path. They left Dao Bodies to guard the world and searched the Chaos Sea for a Chaos Dao-Devouring Beast, eventually detecting a distant Law backflow.

• After searching unsuccessfully for a long time, Zhou Ming sensed a distant, concealed fluctuation from a Law backflow.

Zhou Ming and Houtu hunted down and destroyed a Wind-Walking Dao-Devouring Beast, then returned to the Ninth Chaos after finding no others nearby. They began cultivating in seclusion outside its boundary wall, ready to guard it against the coming battle.

• Zhou Ming and Houtu found a nearly saturated Wind-Walking Dao-Devouring Beast and planned a joint attack.

Di Jiang reached the brink of proving his Dao in the Ninth Chaos, and Houtu began nurturing his Dao Tribulation while Zhou Ming sought aid from Cangxuan. As the Abyssal Sea Divine Pivot threatened to intervene, Cangxuan sent Hongchu to scout their movements and prepared for a possible battle.

• Zhou Ming and Houtu sensed that Di Jiang had refined his Space Law and was about to prove his Dao.
• Houtu began nurturing Di Jiang's Dao Tribulation, while Zhou Ming warned Cangxuan that the Abyssal Sea Divine Pivot might interfere.
• Cangxuan summoned Hongchu and told him to watch the Abyssal Sea Divine Pivot, report its forces, and then support the Ninth Chaos.
• Hongchu set out to scout, and Cangxuan worried that a struggle over Dao Rhyme could leave both sides badly injured.

The Abyssal Sea Divine Pivot mobilized its full force to seize the Ninth Chaos’s Dao Rhyme after someone attained the Dao. Cangxuan received Hongchu’s warning, summoned the Eternal Dao Realm’s experts, and led them toward the coming battle.

• Blood Butcher gathered the Abyssal Sea Divine Pivot’s experts and ordered them to attack the Ninth Chaos for its Dao Rhyme.

• Hongchu warned Zhou Ming and Houtu that the Abyssal Sea Divine Pivot was advancing in full force, so Zhou Ming urged Houtu to accelerate the gestation of Di Jiang and warn the unborn Chaos Demon Gods to destroy any systems they encountered.

Jueying shattered the Ninth Chaos's World Membrane restriction and sent nearly twenty thousand systems inside, despite the Eternal Dao Realm experts' attempts to stop them. With Di Jiang's Dao Proving now in grave danger, Houtu and Xuanfeng remained locked in battle with Jueying and his allies.

• Jueying shattered the gray orb's restriction, revealing tens of thousands of systems intended to disrupt Di Jiang's Dao Proving.
• Xuanfeng and the Eternal Dao Realm experts attacked the systems, while the Abyssal Sea Divine Pivot's experts blocked most of their strikes and the shockwaves destroyed many systems.

• Jueying declared that the Abyssal Sea Divine Pivot would obtain the Ninth Chaos's Dao Rhyme regardless of the cost and continued fighting Xuanfeng and Houtu.

The Abyssal Sea Divine Pivot sent nearly twenty thousand systems into the Ninth Chaos to overwhelm Di Jiang as he tried to prove his Dao. Zhou Ming asked Cangxuan whether the Eternal Dao Realm had any way to help Di Jiang, while the battles outside the chaos continued.

• Jueying's forces prevented the Eternal Dao Realm powerhouses from intervening as the systems entered the Ninth Chaos, and Houtu fought desperately to break free and help Di Jiang.
• Blood Butcher deliberately drew Cangxuan toward the Ninth Chaos, celebrated after learning nearly twenty thousand systems had entered, and vowed the Abyssal Sea Divine Pivot would seize the Dao Rhyme.
• Zhou Ming saw the calm World Membrane and learned from Houtu that Jueying had sent nearly twenty thousand systems inside despite the Eternal Dao Realm shattering half of them.
• Zhou Ming reassured Houtu that she was not to blame, then asked Cangxuan whether he knew a way to help Di Jiang survive and prove his Dao.

Zhou Ming and Cangxuan fought the Abyssal Sea Divine Pivot's experts while discussing how to stop twenty thousand Systems from attacking a Dao Prover inside the Ninth Chaos. Cangxuan explained that the Systems' defensive restriction could block a Great Dao Realm strike long enough for the attackers to succeed, leaving Zhou Ming desperate for another way.

• Zhou Ming asked Cangxuan whether they could interfere with the events inside the Ninth Chaos, but Cangxuan said only Houtu could cross the Chaos World Membrane and act there.

• Cangxuan told Zhou Ming that earlier attempts to force a way in had failed, despite Great Dao Realm experts risking serious damage to their origins.
• Cangxuan revealed that more than ten thousand Systems could activate a one-use defensive restriction that briefly withstood a Great Dao Realm attack.
• Zhou Ming realized the restriction would give Jueying and the others time to restrain Houtu again, then asked whether their side could disregard the cost as well.

Cangxuan explained that the Eternal Dao Realm’s allies would not destroy their Great Dao laws to stop the Abyssal Sea Divine Pivot, while its enemies were willing to pay that price for Dao Rhyme. He then revealed that the Abyssal Sea Divine Pivot’s pursuit of Dao Rhyme might not necessarily be bad for them, leaving Zhou Ming stunned and demanding an explanation.

• Cangxuan told Zhou Ming that the Eternal Dao Realm’s fighters would risk damage to their origins but would not self-detonate their Great Dao laws to save Di Jiang.
• Zhou Ming realized that the Abyssal Sea Divine Pivot’s willingness to destroy its own laws gave it a resolve the Eternal Dao Realm’s fighters could not match.
• Zhou Ming turned his fury on a Great Dao of Fire expert, breaking his attack and battering him with a barrage of punches.
• Cangxuan warned Zhou Ming not to stake his own foundation on the battle and said the Abyssal Sea Divine Pivot’s pursuit of Dao Rhyme might not necessarily be bad for them.
• Zhou Ming was wounded when he turned in shock toward Cangxuan, then demanded to know how the invaders’ plundering could benefit the Eternal Dao Realm.

Cangxuan explained that the Chaos Sea was a cage that blocked advancement beyond the Unity Realm, and revealed why the Eternal Dao Realm fought the Abyssal Sea Divine Pivot over the Dao Rhyme. Zhou Ming understood the factions’ tacit bargain, but his bond with Di Jiang left him personally committed to the conflict.

• Cangxuan told Zhou Ming that the Unity Realm was the limit and that Pangu, Taiyi, and Taichu had failed when they tried to break through it.
• Cangxuan explained that the Abyssal Sea Divine Pivot came from outside the Chaos Sea and sought the Nine Great Chaos’s Dao Rhyme to uncover a way beyond the Unity Realm or out of the Chaos Sea.
• Cangxuan revealed that the Chaos Sea’s rules compelled its native Great Dao Realm beings to fight the outsiders, while allowing them to stop once they had fought hard enough to injure their origins.
• Cangxuan warned Zhou Ming not to self-detonate his Laws, and Zhou Ming saw that the Eternal Dao Realm and the Abyssal Sea Divine Pivot were both pursuing their own long-term plans.
• Zhou Ming’s anger subsided as he understood Cangxuan’s stance, but he could not sever his brotherly bond with Di Jiang.

Zhou Ming learned from Cangxuan that Houtu could preserve Di Jiang’s True Spirit if he failed to prove the Dao, giving them a safer alternative to trying to destroy all twenty thousand systems. Zhou Ming and Houtu conserved their strength and waited for the moment to rescue Di Jiang’s True Spirit as the battle continued.

• Zhou Ming told Cangxuan that he and Houtu would risk everything to save Di Jiang, and Cangxuan agreed to help hold back the Abyssal Sea Divine Pivot.
• Cangxuan explained that Houtu could intervene at the last moment to preserve Di Jiang’s True Spirit, even if his Dao foundation collapsed.
• Zhou Ming joined Houtu’s fight and told her to wait until Di Jiang reached his limit, then focus only on saving his True Spirit.
• Houtu changed to a restrained defensive style, and the Eternal Dao Realm fighters maintained their positions while the battle continued.

Di Jiang tried to unite the Chaos Demon Gods against the Outer Realm Heavenly Demons, whose group attacks and possessed accomplices had already killed nearly a third of their number. With the survivors gathered but still distrustful, he proposed a formation built around strict distance and immediate retaliation, leaving the alliance poised to follow his rule.

• Di Jiang encountered a suspicious Fire Demon God, who refused to trust him after the Water Demon God had attacked with Golden Light clusters, and Di Jiang warned that the Heavenly Demons acted in groups before leaving.
• Di Jiang watched the Heavenly Demons restrain and possess the Wind Demon God with help from three already-possessed Chaos Demon Gods.
• After estimating that nearly a third of the three thousand Chaos Demon Gods had fallen, Di Jiang sent a message calling the survivors to the center of the chaos.
• The Thunder Devil God and Ice Devil God challenged Di Jiang's motives and warned that possessed enemies might be hiding among the gathered Demon Gods.
• Di Jiang admitted he could not guarantee that none were possessed, then proposed that the Demon Gods keep their distance in a grand formation and attack anyone who approached without cause.

After defeating the Heavenly Demons at terrible cost, Di Jiang fought the surviving Demon Gods and split Chaos to create a new world. As he exhausted himself stabilizing heaven and earth, more than ten thousand hidden System Light Clusters surrounded him to seize his Dao Fruit.

• More than two thousand Demon Gods formed a broad formation and battled six thousand Golden Light Clusters and several hundred Possession Demon Gods, while suspicion led them to attack one another.
• The Heavenly Demons retreated after a brutal battle, leaving only Di Jiang, the Time Demon God, the Destiny Demon God, the Karma Demon God, and the Destruction Demon God alive.
