• Wang Wu consulted the five Ghost Grand Unities, who offered to lend him origin at a rate of nine borrowed for fourteen repaid and urged him to accept the transaction.
• Wang Wu agreed to borrow the origin, knowing he would need to find a way to repay the debt.

• The Ghostly Companion Grand Unity’s skull broke through Wang Wu’s defenses and began replacing his head, forcing his Divine Soul and core to retreat into the First Sequence.

• The skull and Ghostly Companion Grand Unity adapted to Wang Wu’s changing bloodlines while the Heterogeneous Great Dao hammered down their resistance, helping the bloodlines fuse.
• Wang Wu’s Nine-Demon Hybrid Blood sequence counterattacked the skull, but the Heterogeneous Great Dao suppressed it and forced its unstable structures to collapse or recombine.

Wang Wu forged his bloodlines into the Nine-Demon Blood Fire, destroying the Ghostly Companion Grand Unity and reclaiming his second and third sequences despite the Wandering Grand Unity’s suppression. As Wang Wu worked to build resistance and recover, three high-level Grand Unities trapped the Wandering Grand Unity in a golden net, revealing that he had been lured into a costly ambush.

• Wang Wu evolved the Nine-Demon Hybrid Blood into the sixth disaster, Nine-Demon Blood Fire, and used it to burn away the skull and annihilate the Ghostly Companion Grand Unity.

• Three minutes later, three clusters of Creation Golden Light surrounded the Wandering Grand Unity, who was devouring the Heaven and Earth Great Array.
• The three lights became a golden net, and the Wandering Grand Unity realized that the high-level Grand Unities had sacrificed immense resources to trap him.
