Their battle began as the Soul Reapers and Arrancar continued fighting in fake Karakura Town, where Kisuke Urahara wondered what Aizen was planning.

• Shen Fei threatened Ōetsu Nimaiya into revealing his underwater forging grounds and handing over Ikomikidomoe, then knocked him unconscious.

• In fake Karakura Town, Kisuke Urahara watched Aizen face Yamamoto and wondered what Aizen was plotting.

Kisuke Urahara and the others watched the battle while Kaname Tosen fought Sajin Komamura and Shuhei Hisagi over his reasons for following Aizen. When Yushiro Shihouin and Kukaku Shiba revealed that someone had invaded the Spirit King Palace, Urahara realized the Aizen before them was an impostor, and Coyote Stark unleashed his Resurreccion to cover the Arrancar’s retreat.

• Kisuke Urahara delayed joining the battle because he feared Captain-Commander Yamamoto would treat the Visoreds as enemies, while Ichigo Kurosaki and Orihime Inoue joined the fight without Chad or Uryu Ishida.

• Yushiro Shihouin and Kukaku Shiba arrived with news of an invasion of the Spirit King Palace, leading Kisuke Urahara to realize that the Aizen inside Yamamoto’s fire ring was an impostor.

• Tier joined Stark as he covered the Arrancar’s retreat to Hueco Mundo, while Shinji Hirako approached and released Sakanade.

Shen Fei and Aizen examined the Spirit King before Kisuke Urahara and the captains arrived at the Spirit King Palace. Aizen began fighting the Shinigami, while Shunsui Kyoraku tried to draw Shen Fei into a separate fight.

• Shen Fei left Aizen to study the Spirit King and considered the hidden safeguards behind the Spirit King's power and Ichibei Hyosube's schemes.

• Shunsui Kyoraku attacked Shen Fei, who used a Portal and the Op-Op Fruit’s ROOM to send him to a desert.
• Shen Fei destroyed the Kidō formations protecting the five detached palaces, causing them to collapse into reishi, and explained his claims about Zero Division and the Spirit King to Aizen and Kisuke Urahara.

• Shen Fei returned to consider his gains and concluded that Yhwach and Ichibei Hyosube’s power could help him become a demigod.

After breaking through to demigod-level strength, Shen Fei learned that Aizen and Mugetsu Ichigo had breached Hell and helped capture escaped sinners.

• Li Mu agreed to go with Shen Fei after hearing about Great Tang and its need to defend the Central Plains from foreign tribes.

Shen Fei reunited Stark with his resurrected parents, then joined Ryoko’s Monarch expedition to Skull Island. After the military provoked the island’s creatures and the helicopters crashed, Shen Fei and Ryoko stayed behind and were surrounded by the island’s indigenous people.

• Flying monsters attacked the helicopters and made them crash, while Shen Fei and Ryoko stayed at camp and were surrounded by the island’s indigenous inhabitants.

Shen Fei left Skull Island and learned that Monarch was accelerating its Hollow Earth investigations because its murals hinted at alien monsters. When two MUTOs attacked a city, he brought Godzilla to fight them, and the chapter ended with a strange light appearing beneath the Pacific Ocean.

• An Allied pilot who had lived on Skull Island for decades welcomed Shen Fei and Ryoko, and the surviving archaeologists later reached the natives’ valley after the colonel and his soldiers were lost.

Shen Fei investigated the Precursors’ Breach, fought monsters threatening Hong Kong, and learned that human collaborators and profiteers were resisting efforts to close the portal. He then arrived at Xianyang during the collapse of the Great Qin and discovered that the young man before him was Ying Ziying.

• Shen Fei sent a Wood Style Shadow Clone through the Pacific Breach and learned that the Precursors were an invading civilization seeking to occupy Earth.
• Shen Fei and the Avengers debated whether to close the known Breach, then responded when six monsters appeared; Shen Fei burned two threatening Hong Kong and attacked the Precursors through a nearby Breach with Jericho Missiles.
• Shen Fei learned that Isurugi Ruriko and her people had helped open a Breach, while United Nations officials and Fury opposed closing it because they wanted profits and military training.
• Shen Fei left the monster crisis to others and arrived at Xianyang, where cavalry demanded that he kneel before Liu Ji, the King of Han.
• Shen Fei caught an arrow fired at him and learned from Ying Ziying that the Great Qin was nearing its fall.

Shen Fei saved Xianyang from Liu Ji’s army with modern weapons, then discovered that the man confronting him was the time traveler Yi Xiaochuan. He left the Qin’s future unresolved while deciding to ask the Dragon Emperor to take charge, and began punishing Yi Xiaochuan for objecting to his changes to history.

He returned it to Yae Kasumi and warned Bronya that the factions had allowed her to shut down the light barrier, leaving her to reckon with the risks she had overlooked.

• Bronya gave Shen Fei the Light Curtain Core in exchange for his promised help, and he questioned Yae Kasumi and the Ferryman about its nature and purpose.

• Shen Fei told Bronya that Shencheng Technology, Snake Eyes, and the Tai Xu Sect had prepared for the barrier's shutdown and had let her obtain the keys as part of their agreement.
• Shen Fei explained that Bronya had not considered the danger of Monsters rushing into Sky Dome City, and she realized how many warning signs she had missed.

Shen Fei and Bronya left Sky Dome City and traveled through the Sea of Quanta, where they encountered Seele and Dark Seele at St. Freya Academy. After Kevin appeared, Shen Fei said he intended to take Seele away and claimed he could deal with the Sea of Quanta’s damage to her body.

• Bronya explored outside Sky Dome City, while Shen Fei trained with Fu Hua and exchanged martial arts techniques with her.

• Kevin warned Shen Fei that the Sea of Quanta had badly eroded Seele’s body, but Shen Fei insisted he could take her away and handle the damage.
