The battle became a drawn-out struggle, with Fang Chen confident that his opponents would run out of strength before he did.

Fang Chen’s Heaven Refining Furnace absorbed the World Will’s attacks, allowing him to repair the Spacetime Compass. He gathered the New Alliance’s leaders to decide whether to break the Primordial Barrier or the Ancient Barrier first, leaving the choice unresolved.

• The World Will sent Law Chains, Law Lifeforms, Heavenly Punishment Divine Lightning, and Heavenly Slaves to stop the Spacetime Compass from emerging, but Fang Chen’s Heaven Refining Furnace swallowed them until the rift vanished.
• The Spacetime Compass flew out of the furnace, and Fang Chen confirmed that it had been repaired and contained the power of Spacetime and Chaos.

• Immortal Emperor Yin-Yang argued that the New Alliance knew nothing about the Primordial Region and could not withstand its ancient Immortal Emperors if they turned hostile.
• Immortal Emperor Yin-Yang urged the alliance to open the Ancient Barrier and bring their people from the Fringe Region, but the Golden Roc Demon Emperor objected that those cultivators were too weak to help.

• Fang Chen realized the passage would close within three days without reinforcement and ordered the others to fall back.
• Fang Chen unfolded the Innate Eight Trigrams Array Diagram beneath his feet, and a mysterious figure appeared at its center.

• Fang Chen used his Samsara Eye to detect a shapeless shadow beneath the Silver-White Light Screen and sensed an unprecedented danger.
