Zhou Ming and Houtu restored the Primordial Wilderness and sealed Di Jiang’s True Spirit in Pangu Hall to gestate anew before returning to the Eternal Dao Realm.

After recovering and growing stronger through countless battles and secluded cultivation, Zhou Ming and Houtu learned that Wu was about to prove the Dao through his Martial Path just as the Abyssal Sea Divine Pivot had recovered. They joined Cangxuan and the Eternal Dao Realm’s forces to intercept the Divine Pivot, leaving Wu’s fate to the coming battle.

• Cangxuan gathered the Eternal Dao Realm’s Great Dao Realm fighters and led them toward the Ninth Chaos to block the Abyssal Sea Divine Pivot while Zhen Yuanzi protected Wu’s True Spirit.

The Abyssal Sea Divine Pivot launched an unusually desperate assault on the Eternal Dao Realm, sending thirty thousand systems into the Ninth Chaos. Blood Butcher revealed that they were fighting recklessly because taking the Dao Rhyme would fill the Ninth Chaos’s quota and allow them to leave.

Cangxuan and Blood Butcher fought over the Dao Rhyme as the Abyssal Sea Divine Pivot neared completion, while thirty thousand systems attacked the newly born Chaos Demon Gods in the Ninth Chaos. Wu announced that he would open the heavens and prove his Dao, and the systems secretly gathered to strike after he exhausted himself.

• Wu punched a vast vacuum into the chaotic currents without using a Law, alarming the demon gods who suspected him of being possessed.
• The systems confirmed Wu was unpossessed and secretly converged on him, planning to attack once he had spent his strength opening heaven and earth.

Wu slaughtered the Devil Gods of Chaos who tried to stop him, killing them with overwhelming physical strength and leaving the battlefield victorious. Hidden in the Space Layer, the systems decided to wait for Wu to exhaust himself while he prepared to create the world.

• The Destruction Demon God attacked Wu, but Wu shattered his spear and killed him with three punches.
• Wu killed the Thunder Devil God and Ice Devil God with one punch each, then broke through the Time Demon God's restraint and slaughtered the attacking Devil Gods.
• The hidden systems watched from the Space Layer and agreed to avoid confronting Wu until he was exhausted from creating the world.
• Wu killed the Time Demon God and struck down the fleeing Devil Gods, including the Space Demon God, leaving none of his attackers alive.

Wu defeated thousands of the systems that had been hiding in Chaos, then began merging the Primordial Wilderness world into his body to advance along the Martial Path. The surviving systems watched from afar, dismissing his plan as they coveted the world’s origin.

• Wu sensed the thirty thousand systems hiding in a spatial interlayer and charged at them as they fled.

• Wu began drawing the Primordial Wilderness world into his body so his inner world could become a Chaos world and help him reach the Great Dao Realm.
• The surviving systems watched Wu refine the Primordial Wilderness and discussed their desire to seize its origin.

Wu refined the Primordial Wilderness as his aura grew increasingly powerful, while the systems waited for him to open the heavens and exhaust himself. Outside the Ninth Chaos, Zhou Ming, Houtu, and Zhen Yuanzi learned what Wu was doing and continued fighting as they waited.

• Wu wrapped the Primordial Wilderness in his qi and blood and drew it toward his chest, steadily increasing his strength.
• The systems sensed Wu's growing aura and discussed their fears before their leader ordered them to wait for him to open the heavens.
• Zhou Ming noticed there was no sign of Wu opening the heavens and asked Zhen Yuanzi to investigate while he and Houtu drove back their opponents.
• Zhen Yuanzi probed the Ninth Chaos and discovered that Wu was refining the Primordial Wilderness instead of opening the heavens.
• Zhou Ming reasoned that refining the Primordial Wilderness aided Wu's path to proving the Dao, so Houtu and Zhen Yuanzi agreed to wait.

Wu fused the Primordial Wilderness with the world inside his body and reached the Great Dao Realm without opening the heavens. He spotted the systems hiding nearby and prepared to face them.

• Zhou Ming, Houtu, and Zhen Yuanzi battled the Abyssal Sea Divine Pivot experts while Cangxuan, Xuanfeng, Moyuan, and the others fought their opponents across the Chaos Sea.

• Wu collected the Dao Rhyme bestowed by the Chaos Sea’s rules as more than twenty thousand systems watched in disbelief.
• Wu sensed the systems hiding in a distant interlayer of space, looked toward them, and told them it was their turn.

Wu attacked the systems' defensive restriction while they tried to survive until he left the Ninth Chaos or outside experts intervened. Meanwhile, Zhou Ming and Cangxuan's battle was interrupted when a powerful Great Dao Realm aura emerged from within the Ninth Chaos, shocking the forces in the Chaos Sea.

• Blood Butcher froze in disbelief, while Bone-Eroding exclaimed that someone attaining the Dao was impossible.

Wu reached the Great Dao Realm without opening heaven, leaving both sides stunned. The Abyssal Sea Divine Pivot suspected he had cultivated the Martial Path and waited for him to emerge, fearing that this would undo their plans in the Chaos Sea.

• The Abyssal Sea Divine Pivot and the Eternal Dao Realm questioned how Wu had proved his Dao without opening heaven.
• Zhou Ming told Cangxuan that Wu cultivated the Martial Path by refining his body and the world within himself, rather than laws.

• Blood Butcher stopped an expert from discussing “that one” and the taboo realm of True Saint.
• Jueying, Bone-Eroding, and Ming Luo asked what to do, and Blood Butcher ordered them to wait for Wu to emerge and confirm his path.

Wu destroyed more than twenty thousand systems inside the Ninth Chaos and absorbed their origins. He then pierced the World Membrane and emerged into the Chaos Sea, where the waiting factions could question him about the Martial Path and the True Saint.

• Wu shattered the systems' golden defensive restriction after the systems failed to receive help from outside.
• The systems begged for mercy, but Wu rejected their offers and crushed them all, erasing their consciousnesses.
• Wu absorbed the systems' golden origins into the world within his body, then pierced the Ninth Chaos's World Membrane and entered the Chaos Sea.

Wu emerged after breaking through to the Great Dao Realm through the Martial Path, then gave Blood Butcher the Dao Rhyme at the Chaos Sea’s will so the Abyssal Sea Divine Pivot would leave. Cangxuan and the others returned to the Eternal Dao Realm, hoping to follow the outsiders out of their sealed Chaos Sea.

• Cangxuan said the outsiders’ departure could let the Eternal Dao Realm’s people follow them out, then led everyone back to their realm.

Blood Butcher delivered the Ninth Chaos Dao Rhyme to Jiemie, Kongxuan, Wuwang, and Xu Yuan, completing the set needed to open the Land of Opportunity. He then reported that Wu had cultivated the Martial Path and willingly handed over the Dao Rhyme at the Chaos Sea Will’s request, leaving the four leaders suspecting Wu was connected to “that person.”

• Blood Butcher ordered Bone-Eroding, Ming Luo, Jueying, and the other Great Dao Realm experts to return to their Dao Fields and recover.

• Blood Butcher explained that Wu had given him the Dao Rhyme voluntarily, claiming the Chaos Sea Will wanted the outsiders to leave.
• Jiemie concluded that Wu must be connected to “that person,” even if Wu himself did not know it.

Kongxuan and the other Unity Realm experts debated what Wu's status as That One's successor meant for their hopes of obtaining the True Saint Dao Fruit. Convinced That One would not give Wu a Dao that could become shackles, they prepared to recover and visit the Place of Inheritance.

• Blood Butcher worried that Wu would claim everything in the Land of Opportunity, but Kongxuan and the others told him the Will of the Chaos Sea had made the matter beyond their control.
• Xu Yuan sent Blood Butcher to heal before the group took the Dao Rhyme to visit That One's Place of Inheritance.
• Kongxuan argued that the True Saint Dao Fruit could shackle Wu to That One's failed path, so That One would likely leave it for True Saint experts instead.
• Jiemie, Wuwang, and Xu Yuan accepted Kongxuan's reasoning and renewed their hope of obtaining the Dao Fruit.
• Jiemie and the other three Unity Realm experts began circulating their Law origins to heal before heading to the Place of Inheritance.

Cangxuan brought Zhou Ming and Wu to meet Pangu, Taiyi, and Taichu and report what the Abyssal Sea Divine Pivot had revealed about the world beyond the Chaos Sea. The ancient experts examined Wu’s Martial Path but could not determine why it frightened the Abyssal Sea Divine Pivot.

• Cangxuan took Zhou Ming and Wu to Pangu’s Law Divine Mountain to share the Abyssal Sea Divine Pivot’s revelations.
• Pangu summoned Taiyi and Taichu, and Cangxuan recounted the battle, Wu’s breakthrough, the references to a True Saint and “that one,” and the Chaos Sea’s message.
• Taichu and Taiyi questioned Wu about the Martial Path and asked him to demonstrate it.
• Wu displayed his vital blood and inner world power, but Taiyi and Taichu could not see what made the Martial Path so threatening.

Pangu and the others discussed the Martial Path and resolved to use the Abyssal Sea Divine Pivot’s next move as a chance to escape the Chaos Sea. After learning their old companions would soon prove the Dao again, Zhou Ming and Wu settled in to heal and cultivate while the group waited for the Abyssal Sea Divine Pivot to act.

• Pangu, Zhou Ming, and Taiyi considered whether the Chaos Sea concealed the Martial Path’s true potential, then Pangu ordered them to set the question aside.
• Pangu urged the group to prepare to escape the Chaos Sea when the Abyssal Sea Divine Pivot made its next move, and everyone agreed.
• Cangxuan told Pangu that Taishi, Taisu, and Taiji could prove the Dao again within a few hundred Chaos Years.
• Pangu sent everyone back to heal, and Taiyi and Cangxuan said their injuries would recover before those of Jiemie and the others.
• Wu asked where he could cultivate without a Law Divine Mountain, so Zhou Ming invited him to use his mountain.
• Zhou Ming brought Wu to his dark-gold Law Divine Mountain, where Wu cultivated and Zhou Ming began repairing his damaged source.

After recovering from their injuries, Jiemie and the Abyssal Sea Divine Pivot fused the Dao Rhymes of the first nine Chaos eras, causing the Nine Great Chaos to merge and the three thousand Law Secret Realms to converge on the Source Realm of Myriad Daos. Pangu and the Eternal Dao Realm experts realized the Abyssal Sea Divine Pivot had acted and raced toward the disturbance, determined to confront what awaited beyond their cage.

• Pangu gathered the Eternal Dao Realm experts, identified the Abyssal Sea Divine Pivot's actions, and led them through the boundary wall toward the disturbance.

The Source Realm of Myriad Daos opened after all three thousand Law Secret Realms merged, and the Will of the Chaos Sea allowed every Great Dao Realm expert to enter. Jiemie led the Abyssal Sea Divine Pivot inside first, and Pangu ordered the Eternal Dao Realm to follow closely so they could pursue the inheritance and a way out of the Chaos Sea.
