Fang Chen and the others reached the vast, dangerous sea of broken laws surrounding the Primordial Barrier. Fang Chen entered its calmer outer edge and used the Floating Immortal Sword to devour the chaotic law energy, gaining a source of power for his formations.

• Despite Immortal Emperor Yun Yi’s warning about the Heavenly Slaves and unstable laws, Fang Chen flew into the sea while the others stood guard.
• Fang Chen drew the Floating Immortal Sword, which devoured nearby Law Fragments and transformed the chaotic energy into power that flowed into him.

• Fang Chen revealed that his Formation was complete and gave Immortal Emperor Yun Yi its workings, astonishing Yun Yi, the Golden Roc Immortal Emperor, and Immortal Emperor Yin-Yang with its power.
• Fang Chen named the Grand Array the Immortal-Demon Annihilation Array and explained that he would build it himself while Immortal Emperor Yun Yi and the Golden Roc Immortal Emperor operated the Star Annihilation Array to conceal his work.
• The Golden Roc Immortal Emperor, Immortal Emperor Yun Yi, and Immortal Emperor Yin-Yang doubted Fang Chen could set up such a complex Formation alone, so Fang Chen demonstrated his method.
• Fang Chen used the Manifestation of the Innate Eight Trigrams Array Diagram, Soul Power, Return to Ruin Sword Intent, and Fusion Source Power to form a miniature Immortal-Demon Annihilation Array in the Void.
• Immortal Emperor Yin-Yang recognized Fang Chen's feat as the legendary Nascent Heart Formation and wondered whether Fang Chen had a Formation Dao Sacred Body.
• Fang Chen explained how he would use his Innate Array Diagram and understanding of the terrain and Spacetime to build the hidden Formation, and the others accepted that he could do it.

Fang Chen and his allies planned to lure the Five Clans into attacking while he secretly prepared the Immortal-Demon Annihilation Array. They returned to Abyss-Suppressing City to begin their public deception, with Heavenly Chasm Gorge chosen as the site for the apparent Time Bell repair.

• Fang Chen brought the group inside the Swallowing Heaven Tower and said they would wait until the Celestial Cycle Star Illusion-Destruction Grand Array was nearly complete before staging a falling-out with Lin Xiao.
• Fang Chen instructed Immortal Emperor Yun Yi and the Golden Roc Immortal Emperor to publicly announce plans to repair the Time Bell and gather resources, drawing the Five Clans’ attention.
• Immortal Emperor Yun Yi and the Golden Roc Immortal Emperor proposed Heavenly Chasm Gorge as the site for the public array and Fang Chen’s hidden Immortal-Demon Annihilation Array.
• Fang Chen arranged for Lin Xiao to discover the secret array, feign outrage, and deliver the real array diagram and its weaknesses to the Five Clans.
• Fang Chen explained that he could finish the hidden array in three months, while the public array would take at least half a year, giving the Five Clans time to prepare for their attack.
• The group returned to Abyss-Suppressing City, where Immortal Emperor Yun Hao’s Broken Halberd still displayed four Immortal Emperor prisoners in the Central Square.

Fang Chen announced that the Human Race and Demon Race would repair the Time Bell at Heavenly Chasm Gorge, prompting the Five Clans to unite against the effort. As both races began building their array and preparing the gorge, Fang Chen and his allies waited for the next stage of their plan.

• Fang Chen revealed the damaged Time Bell and announced that the two races would use all their resources to repair it with the Celestial Cycle Star Illusion-Destruction Array at Heavenly Chasm Gorge.
• The leaders of the God, Blood, Elf, Nether, and Heavenly Human Clans agreed to sabotage the repair and target Fang Chen at the gorge.
• Human and Demon Race forces arrived at Heavenly Chasm Gorge and began constructing a vast encampment and preparing materials for the array.
• Fang Chen, Ye Qingci, Great Emperor Huo Li, Immortal Emperor Yin-Yang, and other central figures joined the preparations at the gorge.

Fang Chen secretly began laying the Immortal-Demon Annihilation Array beneath Heavenly Chasm Gorge while the Five Clans watched the publicly announced preparations. As he struggled to fuse violent Earth Veins into the array’s first core rune, the Silhouette in the Innate Eight Trigrams Array Diagram moved to assist.

• Fang Chen entrusted the Time Bell to Immortal Emperor Yun Yi and claimed he would enter seclusion while secretly preparing the Immortal-Demon Annihilation Array.
• Fang Chen used the Innate Eight Trigrams Array Diagram and the gorge’s Earth Veins, Spatial Folds, and energy to inscribe hidden Formation Runes.
• The Five Clans’ spies reported the visible array construction and the apparent progress of the Time Bell’s repair, prompting their leaders to refine their surprise-attack plans.
• Fang Chen studied the gorge’s leyline currents and began tracing an Earthfire Gold-Fusing Pattern to combine the scarlet and Dark Gold energies.
• As Fang Chen struggled to control the opposing forces, the Silhouette in the Innate Eight Trigrams Array Diagram raised its hand and tapped the empty space before him.

Fang Chen used the Formation Spirit Silhouette in his Innate Eight Trigrams Array Diagram to complete the hidden Immortal-Demon Annihilation Array in Heavenly Chasm Gorge, gaining major insights into the Formation Dao. The array waited for the Five Clans’ enemies, but they did not launch their expected attack while construction of the visible array continued.

• The Formation Spirit Silhouette guided Fang Chen’s Earthfire Gold-Fusing Pattern and took over the construction of the Immortal-Demon Annihilation Array.
• Fang Chen conveyed the array’s blueprint through his soul, the Array Diagram, Return to Ruin Sword Intent, and Fusion Source Power as the Formation Spirit Silhouette laid its runes throughout the gorge.
• Over the next month, Fang Chen learned from the Formation Spirit Silhouette while the hidden array took shape and the Celestial Cycle Star Illusion-Destruction Array neared completion outside.
• Fang Chen discovered that the Immortal-Demon Annihilation Array was complete and thanked the Formation Spirit Silhouette for its help.
• Fang Chen waited for the enemies in the Five Clans’ territory to attack, but they made no move as work on the visible array continued.

Fang Chen and his allies prepared to lure the Five Clans into an ambush during the final stages of the Celestial Cycle Array and the Time Bell’s repair. After Myna bird found an ancient method that could repair the bell using thousands of powerful experts’ souls and bloodline power, Fang Chen faced a sinister new possibility.

• Fang Chen and the others concluded that the Five Clans were waiting for a moment when the array and Time Bell repair left them vulnerable, and they planned to make that moment appear to be a real opening.
• Fang Chen told Lin Xiao to feign resentment and prepare to feed the Five Clans intelligence, while Immortal Emperor Yun Yi and the Golden Roc Immortal Emperor would coordinate the repair and array work to invite an attack.
• The Human Race and Demon Race secretly gathered elite forces around Heavenly Chasm Gorge as the Five Clans accelerated their covert preparations.
• Myna bird found an ancient Jade Slip describing the Myriad Spirits' Blood-Soul Return-to-Origin Array, which could repair the Time Bell by using powerful experts’ souls and bloodline power to reverse time.
• Ye Qingci objected that the method was cruel, required many high-ranking Cultivators, and could bring grave karmic consequences.

Fang Chen persuaded Immortal Emperor Yun Yi, the Golden Roc Immortal Emperor, and Immortal Emperor Yin-Yang to use the Five Clans' leaders as sacrifices to repair the Time Bell and reshape the Ancient Region's alliance. The decision was made, while a secret meeting began in the God Race's Sun Temple.

• Fang Chen revealed the Ancient Records and proposed luring the Five Clans' core forces into the Immortal-Demon Annihilation Array to sacrifice them and repair the Time Bell.
• Immortal Emperor Yun Yi and the Golden Roc Immortal Emperor warned that killing the Five Clans' leaders would weaken the Ancient Region and risk chaos.

• Immortal Emperor Yun Yi and the Golden Roc Immortal Emperor agreed to the plan, establishing the Blood-Sacrifice Bell-Refining Scheme.
• Several halo-shrouded figures held a secret discussion in a Solar Gold chamber inside the God Race's Sun Temple.
