Fang Chen, Palace Mistress Lingxin, and Bai Ling Quasi-Emperor discussed their missing memories and the possibility that a Hidden Mastermind had controlled Palace Mistress Lingxin. Fang Chen summoned Yue Canglan and Li Qingyao to ask about images from their shared past at Immortal Mountain, leaving them shocked as they recognized the scenes.

• Fang Chen explained that memories of his past were resurfacing as his cultivation and soul recovered, while Palace Mistress Lingxin and Bai Ling Quasi-Emperor questioned why they also remembered nothing.

• Li Qingyao questioned why Nether Clan warriors from the future had attacked Fang Chen despite the Nether Race’s alliance against the World Will.

Fang Chen led his companions to the Tianluo Secret Realm to inspect the Flying Shuttle that had brought warriors from the future. The Swallowing Heaven Tower could not absorb it, and Palace Mistress Lingxin concluded that it was at least an Immortal Artifact.

• Fang Chen told Palace Mistress Lingxin and the others that future enemies had tried and failed to kill him in the past, then agreed to show them their Flying Shuttle.

• Palace Mistress Lingxin said the Time-Space Shuttle was at least as powerful as an Immortal Artifact, but she and the others could not open it.
• At Palace Mistress Lingxin’s urging, Fang Chen struck the Time-Space Shuttle once with the Floating Immortal Sword, shaking the Tianluo Secret Realm.
• Fang Chen absorbed a surge of energy from the strike, but found no damage on the shuttle and stopped to avoid destroying the secret realm.
• Bai Ling Quasi-Emperor asked whether the shuttle’s future assassins meant Fang Chen would survive and help the Human Race win the Great Calamity.
• Palace Mistress Lingxin explained that the shuttle could have come from before or after the calamity and that enemies might travel back in time to kill Fang Chen as a child.

After leaving the Tianluo Secret Realm, Fang Chen gathered the leaders of the races to reveal the Source Power of Emperors stored in the Green Grass Great Array and explain that it could help selected experts break through. The leaders agreed to prioritize the strongest cultivators, with Ye Qingci nominated to enter after Huo Li, though Ye Qingci objected.

• Bai Ling Quasi-Emperor questioned whether those who could reverse Spacetime were invincible, and Palace Mistress Lingxin explained that such powers were likely balanced by rivals and came at a great cost.
• Fang Chen and Palace Mistress Lingxin led everyone out of the Tianluo Secret Realm, and Fang Chen asked Yue Canglan and Li Qingyao to stay because Huo Li was nearing a breakthrough.
• Fang Chen summoned the leaders of the races to the Green Grass Great Array's Core Region and asked Little Grass to reveal its stored Source Power of Emperors.
• Fang Chen explained that Huo Li was cultivating in the array and that its remaining Source Power could help a few more experts break through, but they would have to enter one at a time.
• The Goddess Empress and Elf Empress proposed that Ye Qingci enter after Huo Li, and the other leaders agreed, but Ye Qingci said she did not think it was appropriate.

Fang Chen organized a tournament to rank the Barbaric Continent’s strongest Quasi-Emperors and determine who would receive limited Source Power of Emperors to attempt a breakthrough. After the races selected their contestants, more than a hundred powerhouses gathered above the Green Grass Great Array as the competition began.

• Fang Chen explained that all 180 participants would fight ten matches, with those ranked below one hundred eliminated after the first stage.

• The Nether Emperor unleashed Death Purgatory, filling his half of the battlefield with a black sea and a towering red skeleton as Yue Canglan’s lotus illuminated the other half.

Yue Canglan blocked the Nether Emperor’s strongest attack with his manifested Ancient Bell, then struck back with the Chaos Seed Green Lotus. The lotus sprouted inside the Nether Emperor and began absorbing his energy, leaving him unable to control his body.

• The Nether Emperor attacked Yue Canglan with Death Slash, but Yue Canglan blocked it with an azure Ancient Bell formed from his Secret Method.
• Fang Chen told the Myna bird that Yue Canglan’s Manifestation absorbed energy more than ten times faster than the Nether Emperor’s.

• Lotus leaves grew from the Nether Emperor as they absorbed his energy, leaving him unable to control his body or self-destruct.

Yue Canglan defeated the Nether Emperor with his Chaos Green Lotus, earning the highest score before Fang Chen revived the Nether Emperor. Ye Qingci then faced the Elf Queen and emerged unharmed after crushing her powerful arrow.

• Yue Canglan devoured the Nether Emperor with his Chaos Green Lotus and gathered eighteen Seven-Colored lotus seeds containing the Nether Emperor.
• Fang Chen awarded Yue Canglan ten points, then used the Green Grass Great Array to revive the Nether Emperor, who admitted defeat and thanked Yue Canglan.
• Fang Chen called the contestants holding number two, and Ye Qingci faced the Elf Queen in her first match.
• The Elf Queen summoned her wings and Golden Longbow, then fired her rune-covered arrow technique at Ye Qingci.
• Ye Qingci caught and crushed the arrow, then stepped out of the resulting energy storm and faced the Elf Queen from across the battlefield.

Ye Qingci defeated the Elf Queen with two strands of blue Sword Qi, while the tournament continued until Yue Canglan and Ye Qingci reached the final. The chapter ended with the two facing off, as the spectators wondered how Yue Canglan had become so powerful.

• A month later, Yue Canglan and Ye Qingci became the finalists after defeating every opponent with one move.
• Yue Canglan and Ye Qingci faced each other in the void, while the spectators struggled to explain Yue Canglan's strength.

Ye Qingci and Yue Canglan faced off in the tournament, each blocking the other's powerful signature attack. The duel remained unresolved as Yue Canglan praised Ye Qingci's strength.

• The crowd reflected on the Human Race's rise in strength and the role Fang Chen had played in clearing Forbidden Zones.

Quasi-Emperor Huo Li emerged from seclusion after reaching the Great Accomplishment Quasi-Emperor Realm and began his Great Emperor Tribulation at the Glazed Sword Sect. The Green Grass Great Array and Huo Li absorbed the tribulation’s lightning as the storm intensified, with Fang Chen and Ye Qingci still able to see him within it.

• Fang Chen sent the others away, and Huo Li compressed and ignited the Source Power of Emperors within him to summon the Great Emperor Tribulation.
• The Tribulation Clouds spread across a hundred thousand li, and Huo Li absorbed the first wave of Heavenly Punishment Divine Lightning with the Floating Immortal Art and Devouring God Imprints.
• Little Grass devoured the lightning energy through the Green Grass Great Array, while Huo Li absorbed more power and grew stronger.
• A second wave of Lightning Orbs engulfed Huo Li in a storm that Fang Chen and Ye Qingci alone could see through.

Quasi-Emperor Huo Li survived the third Heavenly Tribulation wave and defeated a Great Emperor-level Thunder Dragon with Ten Layer Wave. As a fifth wave formed, a Golden Flame Lotus descended and locked onto him.

• Quasi-Emperor Huo Li endured the Lightning Swords, which battered the Green Grass Great Array as Little Grass absorbed their power and helped him recover.
• A red Thunder Dragon emerged from the Tribulation Clouds and attacked Quasi-Emperor Huo Li, who fought back with his sword techniques.
• Quasi-Emperor Huo Li cut the Thunder Dragon with Nine Layer Wave, then destroyed it with Ten Layer Wave, and Little Grass devoured its remaining lightning.
• Ye Qingci and Fang Chen realized another Heavenly Thunder wave was coming as the Tribulation Clouds caught fire.
• A Golden Flame Lotus descended from the clouds, radiating intense heat and pressure as it locked onto Quasi-Emperor Huo Li.

Quasi-Emperor Huo Li endured a hidden attack and a devastating Golden Lotus during his Great Emperor Tribulation, then successfully became a Great Emperor. With the Green Grass Great Array retaining enough Source Power of Emperors for several more breakthroughs, Fang Chen invited Yue Canglan and the Goddess Empress to cultivate while Ye Qingci pursued the same goal.

• A mysterious force struck Quasi-Emperor Huo Li's Soul Origin as the Golden Lotus descended, recalling the ambush that had ruined his tribulation more than ten thousand years earlier.
• The Golden Lotus burned Quasi-Emperor Huo Li to ash, but the Green Grass Great Array absorbed the rising Golden Mist and returned him from its core stronger than before.
• Quasi-Emperor Huo Li received the Source Power Baptism and Great Emperor Imprint, successfully becoming a Great Emperor as auspicious manifestations appeared around him.
• Fang Chen and the others congratulated Great Emperor Huo Li, who sensed a summons from the Sacred Land and wondered about the Hidden Mastermind who had attacked him.
• Fang Chen sent Ye Qingci into the Green Grass Great Array's Core Space to absorb Source Power of Emperors and pursue the Great Emperor Realm.
• Little Grass told Fang Chen that the remaining Source Power could support four more breakthroughs, so Fang Chen invited Yue Canglan and the Goddess Empress to cultivate there.

Fang Chen arranged for Yue Canglan and the Goddess Empress to cultivate with the remaining Source Power of Emperors while preparing for the summons of the Land of Ending and refining Heaven Demon Powder. Ye Kong emerged from the Ninth Secret Realm and came to the Green Grass Great Array asking about Ye Qingci.

• Fang Chen explained that the remaining Source Power of Emperors could help three cultivators break through, so Yue Canglan and the Goddess Empress entered spaces Little Grass opened for them.
• Fang Chen urged Great Emperor Huo Li to preserve his teachings before he answered the Land of Ending's summons, and Huo Li left to make preparations.
• Fang Chen resumed refining Heaven Demon Powder while planning to travel to the Land of Ending after Ye Qingci became a Great Emperor.
• Ye Kong contacted Fang Chen through the Spirit Sword Talisman and asked where Ye Qingci was.
• Ye Kong arrived at the Green Grass Great Array after emerging from the Ninth Secret Realm, and Fang Chen congratulated him on clearing its Ninth Layer.

Fang Chen told Ye Kong that Huo Li had become a Great Emperor and that Ye Qingci, Yue Canglan, and the Goddess Empress were cultivating with the remaining Source Power of Emperors. He brought Ye Kong to Yaochi Holy Land to investigate its sealed Forbidden Grounds, suspecting they contained the Heavenly Demon Wings, and left Li Qingyao astonished by his theory.

• Fang Chen showed Ye Kong the cultivators competing for places in the Green Grass Great Array, where Ye Qingci won first place ahead of Yue Canglan and the Goddess Empress.
• Ye Kong asked how they could obtain more Source Power of Emperors, and Fang Chen took him to Yaochi Holy Land.
• Fang Chen contacted Li Qingyao, who came with Quasi-Emperor Mingyue and led him and Ye Kong into the holy land.
• Fang Chen told Li Qingyao he wanted to inspect the Forbidden Grounds and, if possible, destroy the sealed Demonic Beast.
• Fang Chen suspected the seal held the Heavenly Demon Wings and explained that a feather he had acquired while repairing the seal remained too powerful for him to refine completely.

Fang Chen returned to Yaochi Holy Land’s Demon Sealing Land to investigate the Heavenly Demon remnant sealed there. After entering the forbidden grounds with the myna bird and Little Crane, he found more than a dozen Heavenly Demon Feathers lodged in a shattered Barrier and reached for one.

• Li Qingyao agreed to lead Fang Chen and the others to the Demon Sealing Land after he revealed he had found a Heavenly Demon Feather there years earlier.
• Li Qingyao opened the Barrier she had erected with the Elders, and Fang Chen led the group through the sealed grounds to the Great Emperor formation Barrier.
• Fang Chen sent Li Qingyao, Ye Kong, Quasi-Emperor Mingyue, and the others into the Spirit Crane Space before entering the Barrier with the myna bird and Little Crane.
• Fang Chen and his companions crossed into the Demonic Qi-filled Valley, where they found a shattered Barrier holding more than a dozen Heavenly Demon Feathers.
• The myna bird recognized the feathers, and Fang Chen recalled how one feather had pierced the outer Barrier and led to Heavenly Seal Saint’s injury.
• Fang Chen reached for one of the Heavenly Demon Feathers lodged in the shattered Barrier.

Fang Chen collected the Heavenly Demon Feathers from the barriers and passed through a seal created by a Heavenly Emperor. Inside, he and his companions discovered enormous black Wings bound by chains, which Fang Chen believed belonged to a Half-Immortal creature.

• Fang Chen absorbed the Demonic Qi released by a Heavenly Demon Feather, then collected the feathers embedded in successive barriers.
• Fang Chen passed through eighteen barriers and reached a Colored Barrier made by a Heavenly Emperor.
• Fang Chen found a flaw in the Colored Barrier and led the Myna bird and the others through without disturbing its feathers.
• Fang Chen entered a vast sealed space and saw enormous black Wings bound by four chains to formation patterns on the walls.
• Fang Chen concluded that the Wings belonged to a Half-Immortal creature, and the Myna bird estimated their power could help more than a hundred Quasi-Emperors become Great Emperors.

Fang Chen and the Myna bird approached the enormous Black Wings, whose pressure began loosening the Seals within the bird and stirring unfamiliar memories. A Barrier appeared before them as they drew near the wings.

• Fang Chen realized the Black Wings had been severed from a Half-Immortal-level Lifeform and sealed to prevent its corpse from becoming a Heavenly Slave.
• The Myna bird asked to approach the wings so their pressure might loosen its Seals, and Fang Chen tied it to himself with the Sky-Piercing Demon Chain.
• Fang Chen and the Myna bird moved toward the wings as their pressure grew stronger and the Myna bird's Seals began to loosen.
• The Myna bird felt powerful energy and unfamiliar memories emerge as Fang Chen advanced cautiously through the flowing Space Dao Patterns.
• A Barrier appeared in front of Fang Chen and the Myna bird.

Fang Chen used Twilight Power to cut through a powerful Barrier and entered the space around the black Wing with the Myna bird. There, strange waves battered them, the Floating Immortal Sword absorbed Demonic Qi, and the Heaven Mending Goddess Manifestation reacted to the Wing.

• Fang Chen found a powerful Barrier around the black Wing and identified a moving flaw in its Formation Runes.
• Fang Chen infused the Floating Immortal Sword with Twilight Power and sliced a thirty-meter opening through the Barrier.
• Fang Chen and the Myna bird passed through the opening, disappearing from the view of Li Qingyao, Ye Kong, Quasi-Emperor Mingyue, and the Chaos Heart-Devouring Worm inside the Spirit Crane Space.
• Strange waves struck Fang Chen and the Myna bird, breaking Seals within the Myna bird as the Floating Immortal Sword absorbed Demonic Qi and sent power into Fang Chen.
• Fang Chen noticed the Heaven Mending Goddess Manifestation glowing, released it, and watched its Meteorite draw in the surrounding Demonic Qi and Source Power of Emperors.

Fang Chen discovered that the meteorite had begun absorbing energy again and used it to attack one of the Black Wings. As the meteorite clung to the wing and devoured its power, Myna bird’s Seals began to loosen, while Fang Chen approached the other wing’s bloody severed root with the Floating Immortal Sword.

• Fang Chen realized the meteorite was absorbing Demonic Qi and Source Power of Emperors, and decided to let it consume the energy in the sealed space.
• Fang Chen controlled the Heaven Mending Goddess to hurl the meteorite at a Black Wing, where it expanded, struck the wing, and clung to it while devouring its energy.
• The Black Wing’s pressure and energy fluctuations began undoing Myna bird’s Seals, and Myna bird resisted the urge to rush closer.
• Fang Chen warned Myna bird to take things steadily, then flew toward the other Black Wing with the Floating Immortal Sword.
• Fang Chen reached the wing’s severed root and touched its fresh Half-Immortal blood with the sword’s blade.

Fang Chen absorbed the black wing’s energy through the Floating Immortal Sword and brought Little Crane and the others into the Sealed Space’s Core Space. They endured the wing’s crushing pressure by reciting the Myriad Buddhas War Scripture and prepared to cultivate there.

• The Floating Immortal Sword and Meteorite devoured energy from the black wing, sending a powerful surge into Fang Chen.
• Fang Chen sent Huahua to bring Little Crane and the others into the Core Space while Huahua cultivated beside the wing.
• Little Crane released the Chaos Demonic Star Vine, which devoured the surrounding Demonic Qi and Source Power of Emperors.
• Ye Kong, Li Qingyao, Quasi-Emperor Mingyue, and the Chaos Heart-Devouring Worm emerged and were overwhelmed by the wing’s pressure.
• Fang Chen led everyone in reciting the Myriad Buddhas War Scripture, easing their pain, then urged them to absorb the surrounding Source Power of Emperors.

Fang Chen and his companions cultivated in the Sealed Space while using the Darkness Devouring God Domain, the Floating Immortal Sword, a Chaos Devouring God Bee, and a meteorite to drain energy from the Black Wings. A year later, the Myna bird broke through and grew far more powerful.

• Fang Chen had his companions recite the Myriad Buddhas War Scripture and cultivate beneath the protection of Golden Buddha Light, then returned to the Black Wings.
• Fang Chen used the Darkness Devouring God Domain to draw in energy and summoned a Chaos Devouring God Bee, whose wingbeats caused Ye Kong and the others intense pain.
• Fang Chen sent the Chaos Devouring God Bee to gnaw at one Black Wing while the Floating Immortal Sword and a meteorite drained energy from the two wings, and his companions endured the vibrations as they cultivated.
• Over the following month, the Myna bird moved within a hundred zhang of the Black Wings but could not pass an invisible force, while the others also moved closer.
• A year later, white flames covered the Myna bird as his aura surged, and he grew until his wingspan exceeded five thousand zhang.

The myna bird regained his Great Emperor Realm Cultivation by breaking a Seal, then touched the Black Wings and triggered further Seals and memories within himself. Five years later, the Meteorite cracked after absorbing enough energy, and Fang Chen collected it before returning to the Glazed Sword Sect.

• The myna bird regained his Great Emperor Realm Cultivation, and Fang Chen explained to Li Qingyao and Quasi-Emperor Mingyue that he had broken a Seal rather than undergone Tribulation Transcendence.
• The myna bird approached the Black Wings and touched them, causing a powerful pulse to break more Seals and flood his mind with unfamiliar information.
• Fang Chen continued leading Ye Kong and the others in reciting the Myriad Buddhas War Scripture while the myna bird endured the Black Wings' pulse.
• Five years later, the Meteorite cracked and released white mist, so Fang Chen used the Heaven Mending Goddess Manifestation to collect it.
• Fang Chen told Ye Kong and the others to keep cultivating, asked Little Crane to protect them, and left the Demon-Sealing Space for the Glazed Sword Sect.
