Chu Xiao split Nihility Devouring Flame into good and evil halves, appointed the benevolent half as the Heavenly Tomb’s Spirit, and raised his cultivation to the peak of the Seventh-Grade Sovereign Realm. He then joined Gu Yuan, Xiao Xuan, and Zhu Kun to suppress Hun Tiandi and sever the ties between his soul, cultivation, and body.

• Nihility Devouring Flame surrendered half its origin flame, split into good and evil entities, and Chu Xiao sent the benevolent half to become the Spirit of the Heavenly Tomb.

After Hun Tiandi was defeated, Chu Xiao divided his essence, energy, and spirit for different uses, then Gu Yuan and Zhu Kun led the Soul Punishing Saint Alliance to eradicate the Soul Clan. As a continent-wide purge began, Chu Xiao ignored the unrest and drew new supernatural abilities, leaving his campaign against the Soul Clan underway.

After reaching the peak of the Ninth-Grade Sovereign Realm and crystallizing his spiritual energy, Chu Xiao concluded that he needed to enter the Great Thousand World to complete his breakthrough to Earthly Sovereign.

He explained the Demon General’s history and the crisis he had created, while Bing Huanhuan dismissed the Yi Mo Clan as a joke.

• Chu Xiao realized that his soul perception could not reveal everything within the reach of Ziwei Starlight, so he still needed known coordinates or safe locations to teleport.

Bing Huanhuan returned to the Ice Ancestor Symbol and planned to meet Chu Xiao when he came to Tianxuan Continent. In the Ancient Desolate Domain, the Twin Corpse Demon General broke through the Primordial Four Symbols Array and threatened the Dou Qi Continent, until a vast imperial seal appeared in the sky.

At Tou She Ancient God's Cave Mansion, Chu Xiao revealed that the apparent Tou She Ancient God was the Emperor Pill Embryo and trapped it in the Mountain River Seal with five peak Dou Saints. He intended to draw out its energy and restore it into an Emperor Grade Pill, leaving the gathered clans astonished by the plan.

• Chu Xiao activated the Pill Transformation Ring with the Tou She Ancient God Jade, revealing that it could control the Emperor Pill Embryo and help it become an Emperor Grade Pill.
