After passing the Lesser Heavenly Tribulation with a Weak Tribulation Pill, Twelve Wings Gabriel became a Sixth Grade True Immortal and launched an assault on the Heaven-Human War Front. The Human Race’s upgraded defensive formations unexpectedly held against his Raging Waves, leaving Gabriel’s attack and the war front’s fate uncertain.

• Human Race gods raised the defensive Divine Formation Group to its maximum as they recognized Gabriel and prepared for a full-scale assault.
• The Heaven-Human War Front’s upgraded formations withstood Gabriel’s waves, surprising the Human Race gods and prompting them to question the strength of his attack.

After learning that Gabriel had become a Sixth Grade True Immortal and threatened the Human Race, Song Ankang went to Sky Tear Valley to intercept him. While waiting, he saw Twelve Wings begging the chat group for Weak Tribulation Pills, unaware that Song Ankang had identified him as Gabriel and was lying in wait.

After enslaving Twelve Wings Gabriel, Song Ankang returned to Kyoto An City to strengthen his techniques while the Human Race prepared for Gabriel's expected attack. Gabriel instead returned to the Angel Race's Holy City of Light, and the Angel Race sent peace envoys, attributing its offer of coexistence to the Human Race's hidden ancestor.

• Song Ankang recognized that his Seventh-Rank secret techniques had fallen behind his Sixth Grade cultivation and began improving them in Kyoto An City.

• The Human Race learned that the Angel Race's offer was mainly due to its hidden ancestor.

Song Ankang used a fabricated account of the Human Race’s hidden ancestor to explain the truce with the Angel Race, while secretly expanding his control over both races and their neighbors. As he settled down to consolidate his strength, Gabriel reported that Marshal Tianpeng Zhu Ganglie had been found within Angel Race territory.

• Song Ankang’s account led the Human Race to credit its hidden ancestor with securing peace, and the Human Race and Angel Race began cautiously restoring contact.
• The Angel Race handed over humans’ killers, easing tensions, while Song Ankang avoided enslaving its lesser Half-step True Immortals and expanded his indirect control across the Angel Race.
• Song Ankang’s territory, encompassing the Human, Merman, Bean Demon, and Angel Races, surpassed six hundred million square kilometers, and he resolved to strengthen his cultivation foundation.
• Gabriel told Song Ankang that Marshal Tianpeng Zhu Ganglie had been found in the Angel Race’s territory, where Zhu Ganglie had been pursuing an opportunity.

Song Ankang traveled to Angel Race territory to seize an opportunity at the Sea of Fire and Mud Swamp, where he waited for Marshal Tianpeng Zhu Ganglie to emerge from an underground divine tomb. He enslaved Zhu Ganglie and discovered the Demon Boar prodigy was close to advancing to Sixth Grade True Immortal, leaving Song Ankang planning to help him reach even greater potential.

• Song Ankang learned that an immortal artifact might be hidden in the opportunity Zhu Ganglie sought and hurried to the Sea of Fire and Mud Swamp.
• Gabriel led Song Ankang to the underground divine tomb, where Zhu Ganglie was searching for an opportunity, then left at Song Ankang's command.
• Song Ankang hid near the tomb entrance and waited several days for Zhu Ganglie to emerge.
• When Zhu Ganglie came out, Song Ankang used Imperial Order to enslave him before he could react.
• Song Ankang discovered Zhu Ganglie's spirit essence, true qi, and soul were powerful enough for him to attempt the Lesser Heavenly Tribulation, and he planned to use pills to raise Zhu Ganglie's potential.

Song Ankang subdued Marshal Tianpeng Zhu Ganglie, took his treasures and the Nirvana Hood, and learned about the Demon Boar Race’s strongest ancestor. After returning to Kyoto and stabilizing his cultivation, Song Ankang tested the Heavenly Demon Dismantling Emperor Technique and waited as the Heavenly Book of Fate Defiance rebounded its side effects.

• Song Ankang activated the Heavenly Demon Dismantling Emperor Technique, boosting his essence, energy, and spirit nineteenfold, then waited for the side effects to rebound faster than before.

After breaking through to the Sixth Grade True Immortal realm, Song Ankang used the Heavenly Demon Dismantling Emperor Technique and gained enormous side-effect feedback, greatly improving his essence, qi, spirit, foundation, and talent. He realized his seventh-rank techniques and secret arts were holding him back and resolved to find a way to upgrade them.

• Song Ankang's immortal body, immortal qi, and immortal soul each increased to more than twice their previous strength through the Heavenly Book of Fate Defiance's feedback.
• The feedback strengthened Song Ankang's cultivation foundation and raised his already exceptional talent and aptitude further.
• Song Ankang recognized that his gains were unusually large because he had only recently reached the Sixth Grade True Immortal realm.
• Song Ankang concluded that his seventh-rank cultivation techniques and secret arts were too weak for his realm and decided he needed to upgrade them.

Song Ankang found that his powerful immortal body and qi had made the Boy Demonic Cultivation Technique ineffective, so he focused on advancing his arts. He upgraded the Heavenly Demon Dismantling Emperor Technique to a sixth-grade immortal art, then merged the Life-Shortening Art into the Blood Secret Art to create the upper sixth-grade Blood Life Art.

• Song Ankang tested the Boy Demonic Cultivation Technique with Tang Mingyue and several other Bedside Companions, but his immortal body and qi recovered too quickly for it to work.
• Song Ankang improved the Heavenly Demon Dismantling Emperor Technique into a sixth-grade immortal art that multiplied his essence, qi, and spirit twentyfold for around ten minutes, at the cost of severe backlash.
• Song Ankang began improving the Seven Injuries Demonic Scripture, Boy Demonic Cultivation Technique, and Sacred Heart Art.
• Gabriel brought Song Ankang the incomplete Life-Shortening Art, which Song Ankang recognized could be combined with the Blood Secret Art.
• Song Ankang integrated the Life-Shortening Art into the Blood Secret Art and renamed the resulting upper sixth-grade immortal art the Blood Life Art.
• Song Ankang tested the Blood Life Art and found that sacrificing lifespan and blood could dramatically strengthen his physique and attacks, though larger sacrifices risked killing him before its backlash returned.

Song Ankang used the Blood Life Art and his deep cultivation foundation to contend with Thunder True Immortals while rapidly transforming his demonic arts and secret techniques into Sixth-Grade immortal arts. He also organized Human Race geniuses into the Wu Xuan Class to develop new arts, leaving the group to grow toward helping him advance further.

• Song Ankang’s Blood Life Art strengthened him enough to contend with Thunder True Immortals despite his recent entry into the Sixth Grade True Immortal Realm.
• Song Ankang transformed the Boy Demonic Cultivation Technique, Seven Injuries Demonic Scripture, Sacred Heart Art, and several other arts and secret techniques into Sixth-Grade immortal arts.
• Song Ankang realized that the Sacred Heart Manual could potentially be deduced to the Heavenly Immortal Realm, while Seven Absolute Ends might become a Sixth-Grade High-Grade Immortal Technique or even a Fifth-Grade Earthly Art.
• Song Ankang set aside the Soul Seizing Technique and Evil Warding Sword Technique because their limitations made them unsuitable for transformation without extensive work.
• Song Ankang established the Wu Xuan Class, gathering more than a dozen Human Race geniuses to create arts and secret techniques according to his requirements.
• The Wu Xuan Class had produced only an Eighth-Rank High-Grade martial art so far, and Song Ankang planned to have its members study immortal arts once their abilities improved.

Song Ankang’s cultivation and techniques advanced, bringing him closer to the Great Five Elements Tribulation. When the Dragon Wolf threatened the Brocade-furred Underground Palace, Song Ankang traveled to the Chaos Plain and disguised himself among the Brocade Fur Rats to assess the threat.

• Song Ankang’s evolved cultivation techniques and secret arts raised his strength until he could contend with a Thunder True Immortal and potentially kill some near-Earth Immortals.
• Song Ankang continued improving his qi, essence, and spirit, aiming to reach the point where his immortal qi could trigger the Great Five Elements Tribulation.

• Song Ankang disguised himself as a Brocade-furred Rat and traveled with several million elite Brocade Fur Rats toward Black Lake Grassland to observe the Dragon Wolf.
