• Tianying Sparrow Lord recognized the mark as the work of the Eye of Heavenly Origin and was astonished that Su Ye had found and broken it.
• Tianying Sparrow Lord said a solution involving Ancestor Yang might let Su Ye reveal his identity, then unleashed her full strength against Li Ya and the others in the starry sky.

Li Ya and his companions escaped Tianying Sparrow Lord’s attack at the cost of his Dao Artifact and a life-saving treasure. After they left, Tianying Sparrow Lord explained to Su Ye and Ye Xingli how Ancestor Yang became Time Ancestor’s disciple, ending with the story of Time Ancestor facing three Half-Step World Lords.

After arriving at the Nine Saints Sect, Su Ye returned to his cave residence, where Tian Yang appeared and greeted him as Little Grandmaster Uncle.

• Tian Yang appeared before Su Ye, introduced himself, and bowed to pay respects to Little Grandmaster Uncle.

Su Ye met Tian Yang, the Ancestor Yang, who returned to protect him and help the Time Ancestor. Su Ye revealed that at just over twenty years old, he had already reached Star Shattering Perfection, stunning both Tian Yang and the Time Ancestor.

• Su Ye recognized the gold-robed visitor as Tian Yang, and the Time Ancestor appeared to greet them.
• Tian Yang regretted arriving too late to stop Zhu Zhen from attacking the Time Ancestor, who said the betrayal had revealed Zhu Zhen's true nature.
• The Time Ancestor told Tian Yang to protect Su Ye while Su Ye prepared to enter the Suiyin Star Domain Secret Realm and later challenge the Luo Dao Stone.
• Tian Yang agreed to guard Su Ye and asked about his cultivation, unable to see beyond Mid-level Star Fusion.
• Su Ye revealed that he had reached Star Shattering Perfection, leaving Tian Yang and the Time Ancestor astonished.

Su Ye learned that Time Ancestor was being slowly refined inside the Luo Dao Stone and promised Tian Yang he would rescue him. The next morning, the Nine Saints Sect gathered for the Chosen One selection, where Thunder Ancestor Zhu Zhen appeared and Tian Yuan reflected on the opportunity he had gained after Ye Gui rejected it.

• Tian Yang gave Su Ye a Seal Talisman that could briefly withstand a Chaos Star Initial Stage opponent and block outside perception within ten thousand meters.

• Thunder Ancestor Zhu Zhen descended, drawing the crowd’s attention as a Destroy Star Perfection expert and one of the sect’s Three Ancestors.
• Tian Yuan recalled that Chen Bo had secured him a place in the Suiyin Star Domain opportunity after Ye Gui refused the offer, and resolved to seize his chance.

Thunder Ancestor Zhu Zhen announced the rules for the Suiyin Star Domain Secret Realm selection, which would send teams into the Moon-Crossing World Bridge for a three-day trial. As Tian Yuan went to register, he was stunned to see Ye Xingli and Ye Gui treating Song Qiaoxin generously, making his own costly team arrangement feel painfully inadequate.

• Thunder Ancestor Zhu Zhen announced that one hundred teams would qualify by killing Chaos Creatures in the Moon-Crossing World Bridge, with each team led by a Mid-level Star Fusion cultivator or stronger.
• Holy Son Zhu Ting formed a team with the first and second True Inheritance Disciples, all three of whom had reached the Shatter Star Realm.
• Tian Yuan calculated that his High-level Star Fusion captain, himself, and their other teammate had a good chance of qualifying, then followed his captain to register.
• Tian Yuan saw Song Qiaoxin register with Ye Gui and Ye Xingli, who had invited her without requirements and given her a Dao Artifact and cultivation resources.
• Tian Yuan's captain, Brother Xue, impatiently called him along, while Tian Yuan followed with a stiff smile and struggled with envy and confusion over Ye Xingli's generosity.

After registering for the Sealed Land trial, Su Ye returned to Tian Ying Star to use a Time-Twisting Stone, undergo the Thunder Tribulation, and cultivate. Thunder Ancestor admitted Qin Yanyu’s team despite the disciples’ objections, while Tian Yang followed Su Ye, eager to witness his tribulation.

• Tian Yuan left after insisting that he had not lost to Su Ye, and 219 teams completed registration.
• Thunder Ancestor announced an additional team and permitted Qin Yanyu, his personal disciple from the Lang Gu Sect, to enter the Sealed Land trial.
• Qin Yanyu revealed that she had reached Shatter Star Initial Stage at age twenty, while Lin Qingyue glared at Ye Xingli and vowed to make her exit.
• Thunder Ancestor announced that the trial would begin in four months and that the top 100 teams would become Chosen Ones, before leaving the meeting.

• Su Ye headed back to Tian Ying Star to use a Time-Twisting Stone and undergo the Thunder Tribulation, and Tian Yang followed him with keen interest.

Su Ye used his fifth Time-Twisting Stone, triggering the Fourth Heavenly Tribulation, while Tian Yang concealed the disturbance on Tian Ying Star. As Su Ye faced the tribulation’s final Thunder Dragon, he withdrew his Superimposed State Dao Technique and prepared to show Tian Yang a sword.

• Su Ye activated the fifth Time-Twisting Stone, and Ancestor Yang realized it had triggered the Fourth Heavenly Tribulation.
• Tian Yang concealed the tribulation’s effects from the rest of Tian Ying Star as ten bolts of lightning struck Su Ye.
• Su Ye demonstrated his perfected Superimposed State Dao Technique, letting Tian Yang grasp its principles and see a path to mastering it.
• The tribulation gathered its remaining power into a Thunder Dragon, whose strike Tian Yang judged at least as strong as a Chaos Star Initial Stage expert’s full-force attack.
• Su Ye withdrew his defensive technique, raised a finger like a sword, and told Tian Yang to behold it.

Su Ye demonstrated Sword Two, Lightning Flicker, and erased a Thunder Dragon with a strike that shocked Tian Yang and helped him glimpse the Destruction Great Dao. Tian Yang declared he would reach Half-Step World Lord within a thousand years, while Tianying Sparrow Lord learned Su Ye had returned to Tian Ying Star alone to face his fourth Heavenly Tribulation.

• Su Ye calmly pointed one finger and used Sword Two, Lightning Flicker to erase a Thunder Dragon powerful enough to rival a Chaos Star Initial Stage strike.
• Tian Yang recognized Su Ye’s sword as a Dao Technique that resonated with multiple laws and realized its power could threaten Chaos Star cultivators.

• Tianying Sparrow Lord read Su Ye’s message and hurried to Tian Ying Star after learning he had returned alone to undergo his fourth Heavenly Tribulation.

After surviving his fourth Heavenly Tribulation, Su Ye used the Manifestation Talisman to discover a way to temper his rank beyond the ordinary cultivation path. He realized that with the Nine Extremes God-Connecting Sword and True Self as Mirror, he might leap directly from Star Shattering to World Lord.

• Tianying Sparrow Lord saw that Su Ye was unharmed after his fourth Heavenly Tribulation and judged his strength comparable to Zhu Ting and possibly Gu Chensha.
• Tianying Sparrow Lord left Su Ye an image telling him to visit the Nine Saints Sect after cultivating, while Tian Yang stayed behind to guard him.
• Su Ye examined his Nine Extremes True Self Art and the shifting progress of his Nine Extremes God-Connecting Sword, then used the Manifestation Talisman to deduce a breakthrough.
• Su Ye learned that rank could ascend to the level of laws, known as World Lord, and understood that ordinary cultivators reached it through the Chaos Star and Destroy Star realms.
• Su Ye realized that the Nine Extremes God-Connecting Sword and True Self as Mirror could let him temper his rank at Star Shattering Perfection and potentially leap straight to World Lord.

Su Ye tempered his rank with the Nine Extremes God-Connecting Sword while the Nine Saints Sect prepared to use Chaos Creatures to eliminate rival teams in the Sealed Land. After three months, Su Ye emerged from seclusion, and Tian Yang reacted with a sudden change in expression.

• Su Ye used True Self as Mirror and the Nine Extremes God-Connecting Sword to temper his rank, steadily increasing his Combat Strength.
• Tian Yang considered testing Su Ye's strength after his seclusion, comparing him with the peerless fighters he had seen in other star domains.
• True Inheritance teams in the Nine Saints Sect formed alliances or plotted against rival teams ahead of the Moon-Crossing World Bridge expedition.
• Thunder Ancestor ordered the sect master to lure powerful Chaos Creatures toward teams hostile to the Lang Gu Sect, then added teams close to the Tian Yang Lineage to the targets.
• Three months later, Su Ye emerged from seclusion on Tian Ying Star, and Tian Yang's expression froze as he looked at him.

After leaving seclusion, Su Ye agreed to spar with Tian Yang, who wanted to test his true combat strength. Su Ye effortlessly shattered Tian Yang’s attacks, and the chapter ended with him telling Tian Yang to raise his cultivation because the challenge was not enough.

• Tian Yang sensed that Su Ye seemed far stronger than his apparent Shatter Star Realm, though he could not determine why.
• Tian Yang proposed a spar and suppressed his cultivation, creating a space capable of containing a Chaos Star High Stage battle.
• Tian Yang attacked Su Ye with the Star Grade Nine Divine Ability Great Sun Flowing Kill, but Su Ye destroyed it with a single strand of Sword Qi.
• Tian Yang unleashed his Superposition technique, Golden Sun Divine Body, and Great Sun Quicksand at full power, but Su Ye shattered the attack with another finger point.
• Su Ye calmly told Tian Yang to raise his cultivation because his strength was not enough.

Su Ye tested his Shatter Star Realm strength against Tian Yang, whose Chaos Star cultivation and Golden Sun Divine Body could not match Su Ye’s swordsmanship. After their clash, Tian Yang was left stunned by the gulf between them.

• Tian Yang advanced to the Chaos Star Initial Stage and explained how his Star Marrow Channels let him draw power from countless distant stars.
• Su Ye cut Tian Yang with Sword Two, Lightning Flicker, before Tian Yang could react, shattering the protective barrier.
• Tian Yang used his Golden Sun Divine Body, Divine Appraisal, and Setting Sun strike, but Su Ye learned the appraisal ability and nullified the attack with Sword Eight, Spirit Devouring.
• Su Ye’s Sword Six, Yin Yang, disrupted Tian Yang’s body and forced him to raise his cultivation to Chaos Star Intermediate Perfection to evade the strike.
• Tian Yang unleashed Great Sun Quicksand, but Su Ye used his Superposition Technique and Sword Nine, God-Connecting, to scatter the attack and leave Tian Yang speechless.

Su Ye demonstrated strength capable of killing ordinary Chaos Star Perfection cultivators, received a Dao Sword from Tianying Sparrow Lord, and sensed Blue Star’s Great Era beginning. Five experts on Blue Star broke into Star Fusion Realm, while the Demon Ape King reached High-level Star Fusion and vowed to defend Long Hua.

• Su Ye explained that his Shatter Star Realm status gave him strength comparable to Chaos Star High Stage, enough to kill ordinary Chaos Star Perfection cultivators with his techniques, though he remained far from Destroy Star Realm.
• Tianying Sparrow Lord arrived and gifted Su Ye a Dao Artifact sword forged from her natal essence blood and sparrow feathers, which he wielded naturally.
• Tianying Sparrow Lord invited Su Ye to travel with her to the Nine Saints Sect and briefed him on the coming opening of the Sealed Land; Su Ye sensed a major change on Blue Star.

• The Demon Ape King advanced to High-level Star Fusion, alarming the world and stirring Demon Beasts to consider attacking humanity.
• The Demon Ape King declared that he would purge any Demon Beast that used his name to attack Long Hua, honoring the grace of King Who Opens Martial Arts.

Twelve young cultivators from the Inner World emerged through a Space Tunnel and revealed themselves as Shatter Star Initial Stage Heavenly Chosen. After one of them killed Demon Ape King, they threatened the Outer World into surrendering its treasures and went to Myriad Laws Academy to claim Dao Stone fragments and a sword.

• The twelve Inner World Heavenly Chosen emerged, and one of them killed Demon Ape King with a single gesture.
• The fan-wielding young man warned the Outer World to hand over newly appearing treasures, boasting that stronger Seven Stars and Eight Fiends Inheritors remained in the Inner World.
• Leaders and cultivators across the Outer World felt powerless, while Western America and several small nations considered pledging themselves to the newcomers.
• The twelve arrived at Myriad Laws Academy in Kyoto to retrieve the Dao Stone fragments their families had ordered them to collect.
• Xu Que claimed the Dao Sword before the Dao Discussion Stone, and the fan-wielding young man and the others allowed him to take it.

Xu Que tried to claim the Dao Sword Gui Shi, but it wounded him and resisted even his Shatter Star cultivation. As Chen Feng prepared to erase the Dao Discussion Stone’s Dao Rhyme, Jiang Dingxu stood in his way and demanded they kill him first.

• Xu Que ordered Gui Shi to submit, but the Dao Sword cut his hand and repelled his attempt to seize it.
• Chen Feng and the other Heavenly Chosen agreed to renegotiate Xu Que’s price for Gui Shi, while Xu Que prepared to overpower the sword.
• The King Who Suppresses Kyoto and Long Hua’s three supreme leaders arrived and offered the nation’s treasury and assistance in exchange for Gui Shi’s safety.
• Chen Feng dismissed the leaders and reached for the Dao Discussion Stone, intending to erase the Dao Rhyme he considered worthless.
• Jiang Dingxu identified himself as the head of the Myriad Laws Academy and told the Heavenly Chosen to kill him before erasing the stone’s traces.

Chen Feng and Xu Que attacked those who tried to protect the Dao Discussion Stone and Sword of Returning World, but Li Aoxue and Tan Yiyang arrived with Hundred Meridians inheritances to defend them. When Xu Que reached for the sword again, its spirit appeared and chose to self-destruct rather than serve him.

• Chen Feng struck Jiang Dingxu down and crippled his cultivation after Jiang refused to move aside from the Dao Discussion Stone.
• Xu Que struck King Who Suppresses Kyoto aside and reached for Sword of Returning World, which broke free of the Heavenly Chosen's aura suppression.
• Two Star Marrow resonances awakened Li Aoxue and Tan Yiyang, who reached Star Fusion Perfection and stood against the Inner World Heavenly Chosen.
• Xu Que and the other eleven Heavenly Chosen suppressed Li Aoxue and Tan Yiyang while Xu Que reached for Sword of Returning World again.
• The Return to the World Sword Spirit appeared, rejected Xu Que as its master, and detonated itself as a sword to attack him.

Xu Que stopped Gui Shi from self-destructing, then threatened to erase its spirit after it refused to become his sword. When he learned the sword and the Dao Discussion Stone were connected to an absent former sword master, Jun Wuxie and Jun Qingwu defied him and declared that Xu Que was not even a fraction his equal.

• Xu Que used Chaos Heaven to reverse Gui Shi’s self-destruction and seal its power, despite the Divine Ability being his life-preserving technique.
• Xu Que demanded that Gui Shi accept him as its sword master and threatened to erase its spirit when it refused.
• Chen Feng guessed that Gui Shi was protecting its former sword master’s traces of Dao Rhyme on the Dao Discussion Stone, and Xu Que seized Jun Wuxie to ask where that person was.
• Jun Wuxie said he knew the absent sword master, called becoming his teammate one of the luckiest things in his life, and told Xu Que he could not compare.
• Jun Qingwu stepped forward to defend her younger brother and affirmed that Xu Que was not even a fraction the former sword master’s equal.
