• The Holy Emperor realizes Fang Wang’s strength and understanding are growing, and his intent shifts from testing the younger cultivator to killing him. The battle remains unresolved.

• Power and its cost: The duel threatens the Heavenly Gate, while Immortals’ dependence on it leaves them vulnerable in the mortal world.

Plot points and events

• Fang Wang confronts the Purple-Crowned Man, Ziweitian, who had tried to seize Fang’s body for his Heavenly Mandate Dao Spirit. The Lingxiao Holy Emperor reveals that Ziweitian is the Heavenly Emperor’s seventh son—and one of his own half-disciples—then kills him.
• Fang questions the Holy Emperor’s motives. The Holy Emperor says the Heavenly Emperor is too occupied with larger problems to punish him and proposes an alliance: together they will overthrow the Heavenly Emperor, with the Holy Emperor taking the throne and Fang becoming the Immortal Court’s Second Emperor.
• The Holy Emperor explains that the Immortal Court arose after the ancient Heavenly Court collapsed, but has never fully unified the Upper Realm. Its rule is threatened by Shentai, a rival power that helped destroy the Da’an Divine Dynasty and left agents and influence in the Mortal World. The Immortal Court’s harsh campaign against the Mortal World’s Disheng is partly driven by this rivalry.
• The Holy Emperor admits he is not truly aligned with Shentai, but is willing to cooperate with it to destroy the Immortal Court and divide control of the Mortal World. Fang remains cautious and undecided.
• To demonstrate his sincerity, the Holy Emperor allows Fang to attack the Heavenly Gate.

Key plot points and events

• Fang Wang emerges from the Heavenly Gate and demonstrates the Great Annihilation Technique, instantly shattering the surrounding space and erasing every Immortal, God, and Celestial Soldier present. None revive.

Fang Wang mastered it astonishingly quickly—after spending eighty million years cultivating it, bringing the time he has lived through in the recent battles to eighty-eight million years.
• The Holy Emperor explains that the Supreme Saint ordered the Immortal Court to repeatedly devastate the Xuanzu Mortal World. The destruction worsens the Immortals’ reputation while making the Supreme Saint appear more powerful; he wants the Mortal World to survive, but not grow strong enough to risk the Xuan Ancestor’s revival.
• Though the Mortal World is still burning and Wang Dao has suffered heavy losses, Fang Wang remains outwardly composed. The Holy Emperor proposes that they join forces against the Immortal Court and build a new Heavenly Court, but Fang Wang postpones answering when he senses new arrivals.

• The Zhenshi Bead surges toward Fang Wang under the Nine-Faced Divine Net’s control. Fang Wang lets it pierce through him, while the Holy Emperor warns him not to underestimate the two Shenluos and urges him to escape.

Character developments and interactions

• Fang Wang displays overwhelming power and exceptional comprehension, but his calm response to the devastation around him makes his priorities difficult to read. He neither accepts nor rejects the Holy Emperor’s offer.
• Lingxiao Holy Emperor shifts from trying to recruit Fang Wang to relying on him as a potential ally against the Immortal Court. Despite his confidence in Fang Wang, he is visibly nervous when the Shenluos arrive and warns Fang Wang of their abilities.
• Nine-Faced Divine Net and Nushi Shenluo treat Fang Wang as a subject of analysis rather than an immediate threat. Their composure suggests they believe they can handle his techniques.
• The Holy Emperor and Nine-Faced Divine Net exchange accusations about betrayal, hinting at a deeper history involving the Holy Emperor’s former junior sister.
