Gan Tian forced Heavenwater Daoist’s elder to reveal the Golden Palace Great World as the likeliest source of void divine iron, then appointed him the new Heavenwater Realm Lord.

After receiving the distress message, Ming Luo ordered Yin Shuang to abandon the Heavenwater Realm and mobilized forces to seal off the surrounding star regions.

The main teleportation route was disabled, leaving the Divine Luo forces to approach by separate routes as a two-pronged trap formed around Gan Tian and his allies.

• Ming Luo learned that every registered Hunyuan Realm cultivator in the Golden Palace Great World had died and ordered Xuan He to lead three thousand Divine Luo Guards and fifty Hunyuan Infinite Realm experts against the Flowing Light Domain rebels.

• Gan Tian attacked the Divine Luo Domain’s forces, used a dark gold talisman to break through their ranks, and escaped with his followers into the Void Barren Zone.

Meanwhile, Divine Luo leaders realized the Flowing Light Domain had become an enemy forward base, but they could not identify the force behind the invasion.

• Gan Tian delivered Liu Yuan the ores and star map, then recounted how Yin Shuang and Xuan He's teams pursued them and how a talisman helped them escape.

After nine more Divine Luo Domain realm lords were killed by Fan Kong and You Xuan, Ming Luo activated the Nine Heavens Domain-Locking Divine Forbidden Formation to stop the Flowing Light Domain forces from teleporting freely. He gave Xuan He the Domain-Crossing Divine Shuttle and ordered him to hunt down the intruders.

Fan Kong led the remnants of his party to the Black Wind Sea, their last possible escape from the Divine Luo Domain’s pursuit. When Xuan He ambushed them at the sea’s edge, Fan Kong used a Dark Gold Jade Talisman to erase an enemy cultivator and hundreds of guards, then fled into the deadly storm with the survivors as Xuan He pursued.

• After hundreds of years evading the Divine Luo Domain, Fan Kong urged his exhausted followers to enter the Black Wind Sea rather than face certain death if they turned back.
• Xuan He arrived aboard a colossal divine vessel with Divine Luo Guards and elite cultivators, demanded that Fan Kong reveal who was behind him, and ordered an attack when Fan Kong refused.

• When a Divine Luo cultivator’s saber strike broke the barrier, Fan Kong activated his Dark Gold Jade Talisman and erased the attacker and hundreds of Divine Luo Guards.
• Fan Kong led the survivors into the Black Wind Sea, and Xuan He ordered his forces to pursue them.

Fan Kong and his followers were trapped in the Black Wind Sea as Xuan He pursued them, forcing Fan Kong to use a spatial token to escape. They emerged beyond the sea, battered and greatly diminished, while Xuan He turned back rather than risk pursuing them.

• Chaos Astral Wind overwhelmed Fan Kong's barrier and killed a cultivator, while Xuan He's divine vessel closed in behind them.
• Fan Kong used his dark-gold token to open an unstable teleportation gate, and his group fled through before the gate was devoured by the astral wind.
• Xuan He decided not to pursue Fan Kong, judging that teleportation through the Black Wind Sea was likely fatal and that risking his Divine Shuttle was unwise.
• Fan Kong and the survivors were torn through the collapsing spatial passage, and several cultivators died before Fan Kong stabilized it at the cost of his Origin Essence.
• Fan Kong's group emerged beyond the Black Wind Sea, severely injured, and Fan Kong confirmed that they had escaped.

Fan Kong escaped with his followers while Xuan He hunted Flowing Light Domain rebels across the Divine Luo Domain. After finding and killing several groups, Xuan He returned to report to Ming Luo that Fan Kong and Xue Ku remained at large and the prisoners’ restrictions had concealed their masterminds.

• Fan Kong decided his damaged Teleportation Token could not carry the group again, so they rested before flying toward their stronghold in the Blackstone Star Belt.
