Su Fan confronted two overbearing Foundation Establishment stewards at Nine Stars Market, then left Huoyun Dao Palace’s stronghold and visited Lushan Market to buy pills with his battlefield Merit Points. After the Taiyi Pill Sect learned who he was, its elder Qiu Ye welcomed him and went to prepare rare pills, leaving Su Fan to greet two newly arrived True Persons.

• Su Fan kept to himself at Nine Stars Market, but Haolin and Feng Lin tried to summon him and move his Cave Mansion, so he went to confront them and sent them fleeing with his strength and killing intent.
• Angry that Huoyun Dao Palace had ignored his achievements, Su Fan left Nine Stars Market through the Teleportation Array and traveled to Lushan Market.
• Su Fan bought nearly a hundred bottles of supreme-grade pills at the Taiyi Pill Sect’s shop and paid with his battlefield Merit Points, revealing his identity to the shop’s staff.
• Qiu Ye recognized Su Fan, gave him Spirit Tea, and offered to prepare precious supreme-grade pills for him.
• Qiu Ye returned with two people, and Su Fan stood to greet the True Persons respectfully.

Huoyun Dao Palace’s True Lords learned that the Taiyi Pill Sect was courting Su Fan and moved to keep him from changing sects. After receiving punishment for Feng Lin and news of his sect rewards, Su Fan returned from Lushan Market with Wei Feng, carrying lavish gifts from the Taiyi Pill Sect.

• Wei Feng reported that Taiyi Pill Sect True Lords had met Su Fan, prompting True Monarch Yehua to recognize the Dao Palace’s neglect and order Feng Lin punished.
• Feng Song learned that Feng Lin had provoked a disciple assigned by the Internal Affairs Hall, then received a summons from the Feng Family’s main branch.

• Wei Feng visited Su Fan at Lushan Market, told him Feng Lin had been stripped of his cultivation and exiled, and said True Monarch Yehua would personally present the sect’s rewards.
• Taiyi Pill Sect cultivators courted Su Fan during his stay, while Wei Feng accompanied him; after several days, Su Fan returned to Huoyun Dao Palace with a large collection of gifts and alchemy inheritances.

After receiving lavish rewards from Huoyun Dao Palace, Su Fan suspected Nine Stars Market had been exposed and moved to Qingxi Market. When his master True Monarch Hongda finally summoned him, Su Fan delayed the visit and demanded compensation from the disciple who had come to fetch him.

• Su Fan received a huge reward and gifts from Huoyun Dao Palace, including a Top-grade Spirit Stone, materials to upgrade the Thunderclap Sword, a puppet, a flying boat, a temporary Cave Mansion, and Arid Sun True Fire.
• After sensing someone spying on him, Su Fan strengthened the defenses around his Cave Mansion and decided to leave Nine Stars Market, rejecting Xue Jin's offer of attendants and ignoring Sun Yong's plea.
• Su Fan requested a confidential transfer from Wei Feng, tried unsuccessfully to visit True Monarch Hongda, then settled in Qingxi Market and began studying True Person Ye Hua's artifact-forging insights.
• A disciple of True Monarch Hongda found Su Fan at his new Cave Mansion and demanded that he come meet his master, but Su Fan refused and claimed he needed to capture a demonic beast for spirit stones.
• The disciple offered to make up the beast's value in spirit stones, and Su Fan prepared to take advantage of the offer.

Su Fan visited True Monarch Hongda, who modified his Thunderclap Sword, but a sudden attack prevented him from returning to Qingxi Market. After Su Fan killed two Shadow Ghost Demons in the Dao Palace’s rear, a powerful Foreign Demonic Being struck, leaving him unable to detect its presence.

• Su Fan met True Monarch Hongda, asked him about cultivation, and handed over his Thunderclap Sword and lightning materials for modification.
• True Monarch Hongda returned the modified sword three days later, then abruptly vanished as reinforcements were mobilized for an attack from Great Luo Heaven.
• Su Fan found the Teleportation Arrays reserved for battlefield reinforcements and stayed nearby, where he learned the first line of defense had been breached.
• A Shadow Ghost Demon ambushed Su Fan in the street, but he located it with the Fragrance Sensing Technique and killed it with a sword strike.
• Another Shadow Ghost Demon killed a Golden Core True Person before Su Fan exposed and slew it with Bone Corroding Yin Wind Roll and Rage Slash.
• A powerful Foreign Demonic Being attacked Su Fan and destroyed the room where he had been standing; Su Fan could not detect the great demon with his Fragrance Sensing Technique.

Su Fan was pursued by a Great Demon-level Shadow Ghost Demon, trapped it in formations, and called for help from the Huoyun Dao Palace. The demon dragged him through a spatial passage before a Nascent Soul attack shattered it; stranded and badly injured, Su Fan found and defeated the weakened demon.

• Su Fan fled the Shadow Ghost Demon’s attacks, injuring it with Annihilation Thunder Pearls and Third-tier Immortal Talismans before setting up formations in a canyon.
• Su Fan trapped the demon in the Thousand Woods Bewildering Kill Formation and activated Distress Flares while asking Wei Feng for help.
• The demon broke through the formation and opened a spatial passage, pulling Su Fan along just as a Huoyun Dao Palace Nascent Soul True Lord destroyed the passage.
• Su Fan survived the spatial collapse when the Nine-Patterned Cloud Light Robe’s Parasite Substitute Death formation shielded him, though he was badly injured.
• Su Fan summoned Sister Zhen to locate the demon, then struck the exhausted Shadow Ghost Demon with Third-tier Immortal Talismans and brought it down.

After being transported deep into demon-controlled territory, Su Fan stabilized his injuries and learned that the sect could not safely rescue him. He strengthened himself with demonic bloodline essence and a soul-enhancing pill, then tested his improved combat abilities as he prepared to escape.

• Su Fan collected Shadow Ghost Demon's Essence Blood and corpse, then found a cave, concealed it, and began treating his injuries.
• True Monarch Yehua learned Su Fan was missing, confirmed his soul lamp remained lit, and used a bloodline-tracking technique to locate him near the fallen Yuqing Sect.
• After more than ten days, Su Fan contacted Wei Feng, learned he was tens of thousands of li from the frontline, and understood that he would have to make his own way back.
• Once fully recovered, Su Fan fused three portions of demonic bloodline essence, nearly losing himself but greatly increasing his strength after demonization.
• Su Fan took an Ice Heart Soul Condensing Treasure Pill, strengthening his soul by more than thirty percent, and found he could wield six top-grade flying swords in the sword formation for nearly fifteen minutes.

Su Fan crossed enemy territory, found mass graves of Human Race cultivators, and used their corpses to strengthen himself while sabotaging demon encampments. He learned that the quickest route to the Human Race defensive line passed through the Yuqing Sect's heavily guarded Controlled Zone, leaving him unsure how to proceed.

• Su Fan left his cave and traveled east, avoiding flying demons and approaching a vast encampment of elite demons.
• Su Fan entered a cavern and found demons eating Human Race corpses, then discovered a mass grave with no living cultivators inside.
• Su Fan summoned Sister Zhen to devour the Shade Souls, consumed the remaining souls with the Withered Bone Demon Viper Whip, and later used Blood Mist Transformation to absorb the corpses' qi and blood.
• Su Fan escaped the cavern, poisoned the encampment's streams with Blood Sin Gu, and continued east while raiding other demon camps and tempering his body with lightning.
• Su Fan advanced to the Foundation Establishment Late Stage but found that the route to the Eastern War Zone crossed the Yuqing Sect's Controlled Zone, where Great Luo Heaven's planar passages were guarded.

Su Fan tried to reach the planar passages to Great Luo Heaven, but found the direct approach too dangerous and crossed underground instead. In a cavern, he absorbed the qi and blood of three Nascent Soul True Lords, survived a surge of violent emotions with a Nine Profound Heart Cleansing Treasure Pill, and left just short of a breakthrough to False Core.

• Su Fan told True Monarch Yehua he would try to damage a Yuqing Sect Spirit Vein, but privately refused to risk attacking the guarded planar passages.
• Su Fan sent Sister Zhen to scout, then entered a hidden karst cave after finding the surface route blocked by Foreign Demonic Beings.
• Su Fan used his magic sword to pass through invisible barriers in an underground river, but the river ended at a pool with no exit.
• Su Fan found a cavern containing the remains of three Nascent Soul True Lords, triggered a warning while opening a coffin, and escaped the arriving Foreign Great Demons.
• Su Fan returned to the cavern, killed the two Giant Stone Strength Demons guarding it, and absorbed the corpses’ qi and blood.
• Su Fan suppressed the violent emotions with a Nine Profound Heart Cleansing Treasure Pill and discovered his cultivation had reached consummate late Foundation Establishment, just short of False Core.

Su Fan hid in Great Luo Heaven’s occupied territory after unleashing Blood Sin Gu that wiped out more than a dozen demonic strongholds, then ventured through underground passages to loot the demons’ spoils. He discovered a massive altar extracting spiritual energy to sustain the planar passage and considered using his mysterious Dharma sword to destroy it, though he feared the blast might trap him underground.

• Su Fan concealed himself deep underground while Blood Sin Gu spread through nearby waters and killed over a hundred thousand elite Foreign Demonic Beings, prompting Great Luo Heaven’s leaders to destroy the infested water sources and search the region.
• After hiding for two months, Su Fan resumed traveling through narrow underground passages and realized the demons were draining a first-tier Spirit Vein to maintain their planar passage.
• Su Fan found a guarded cavern containing Storage Bags, then discovered a Foreign Great Demon smashing Storage Rings and killed it with the Shadow Ghost Demon’s Critical Strike.
• Su Fan collected valuable resources and Storage Rings until Sister Zhen warned him of approaching demons, forcing him to abandon the remaining loot and flee deeper into the tunnels.
• Su Fan entered an enormous cavern containing a vast altar that extracted spiritual energy and considered destroying it with his mysterious Dharma sword, while worrying that the sealed cavern would magnify the resulting destruction.

Su Fan destroyed a demonic altar beneath the Yuqing Sect, triggering a Spirit Vein catastrophe that disrupted Great Luo Heaven’s planar passages and forced its forces to retreat. Buried deep underground, he began digging his way out, then discovered he had landed in a rich Spirit Stone vein and chose to keep mining.

• Su Fan slipped past the altar’s barrier and threw Annihilation Thunder Pellets at its central skeleton before escaping through the cave passages.
• The explosions destroyed two altars and destabilized the connected Spirit Veins, disrupting Great Luo Heaven’s planar passages and killing many Demonic Beings during transport.
• Great Luo Heaven’s forces withdrew from the front, relieving the Human Race, while Su Fan was buried beneath the collapsed mountain.
• Su Fan told Elder Wei Feng and True Lord Yehua that he had caused the disaster and was trapped, then began digging horizontally with his spell sword and puppet.
• Su Fan found Spirit Stone Raw Ore near the source of the first-order Spirit Vein and eagerly expanded his digging instead of trying to escape.

Su Fan escaped the Foreign Demonic Beings’ stronghold after destroying Great Luo Heaven’s altars, then used Ghost Crow to travel quickly and invisibly toward the human Controlled Zone. As Great Luo Heaven prepared to withdraw from the Xuanluo Realm, Wang He secretly asked Wei Feng where Su Fan was.

• Su Fan mined Spirit Stone Raw Ore, escaped underground through an underground river, and planted Blood Sin Gu in a lake near the Foreign Demonic Beings’ core stronghold.
• Su Fan learned that destroying the altars had disrupted Great Luo Heaven’s plane passages, forcing its high-level demons to prepare to withdraw while launching a final, brutal offensive.
• Su Fan discovered that Ghost Crow could carry him through the sky at high speed while concealing both of them, and he flew toward the human Controlled Zone.
• Su Fan contacted Wei Feng, confirmed that the plane passages had disappeared, and learned that the Foreign Demonic Beings were attacking the human defensive lines as Great Luo Heaven prepared to withdraw.
• Wei Feng reported Su Fan’s message to True Monarch Yehua, then told Wang He that Su Fan was supposedly in seclusion at True Person Hongda’s Cave Mansion.
• Wang He left the Internal Affairs Hall and gave an eerie smile after asking Wei Feng about Su Fan’s whereabouts.

Su Fan secluded himself while the war against Great Luo Heaven turned in the Human race’s favor, and he fused several spells into more powerful techniques. After the Foreign Great Demons withdrew and the Human race won, Su Fan learned the invasion’s main forces had left and prepared to return to Huoyun Dao Palace, where Wang He awaited him.

• Su Fan remained hidden in the mountains, postponed his Golden Core breakthrough, and reviewed his cultivation path while the fighting continued at the front.
• Su Fan spent more than two months fusing his spells into the Nine Nether Stealth Art, Life-Taking Curse Kill Technique, Nine Strength Bone Transformation Hand, Soul-Screaming God-Slaying Technique, and Spirit Seeding Magic.
• The Foreign Great Demons led Great Luo Heaven’s elite forces out of the Xuanluo Realm through planar passages, and the Human race’s Nascent Soul True Lords launched a counterattack that routed the remaining invaders.
• Su Fan remained at the top of the Demon Slaying Ranking, then contacted Wei Feng, who told him Great Luo Heaven’s main forces had withdrawn and urged him to return.
• Wei Feng told Wang He that Su Fan would soon be back, and Wang He said he would have gone to find Su Fan if he had not returned soon.

Su Fan returned to the Huoyun Dao Palace after the war and tried to visit his daughter, but his lies about being in seclusion angered Senior Sister and Gu Qinghuan. While he continued cultivating and waited for permission to travel, Wang He secretly killed Sun Yong and entered Su Fan’s former Cave Mansion; the chapter ended when an aged Golden Core cultivator arrived at Su Fan’s current home.

• Su Fan returned to the Human Race Controlled Zone and learned that Wei Feng would not approve his visit to the Taixu Immortal Sect until the Dao Palace’s True Lords returned.
• Li Miaoxue checked that Su Fan was safe, and Senior Sister confronted him about hiding that he had been trapped in the Great Luo Heaven Controlled Zone.
• Senior Sister and Gu Qinghuan refused to answer Su Fan’s messages after learning from Luo Guyin about the danger he had faced.
• Su Fan spent the following month cultivating, missing his daughter and waiting for the True Lords to return so he could request leave.
• Wang He questioned Wei Feng about Su Fan’s whereabouts, then used Sun Yong to find Su Fan’s former Cave Mansion and killed him before searching the cave.
• An aged Golden Core Cultivator entered Su Fan’s current Cave Mansion and asked him to come inside to discuss something.

A blood-robed cultivator named Demon Lord Qianhuan took Su Fan from Xuanluo Realm to Kunxu Heaven despite the Dao Palace’s refusal to intervene. Su Fan embraced his growing Demonic Thought during the journey and arrived aboard a flying boat bound for an unknown destination, where killing was forbidden except in sanctioned duels.

• Wang He revealed himself as a blood-robed Nascent Soul cultivator and ordered Su Fan to accompany him to Kunxu Heaven.
• The cultivator used a spatial passage to take Su Fan away, then transported him aboard a black flying boat.
• Su Fan contacted Elder Wei Feng, but True Monarch Yehua told him to go to Kunxu Heaven, and Wei Feng advised him to accept his fate.
• Su Fan sent farewell messages to Qinghuan and Nannan, then let his resentment strengthen his Demonic Thought and put away the Purple Heart Profound Water Jade Pendant.
• The blood-robed cultivator, called Demon Lord Qianhuan, brought Su Fan aboard a larger flying boat and had his identity registered.
• A Black Robe Cultivator assigned Su Fan a sleeping berth and explained that killing was forbidden aboard the vessel, though grudges could be settled through life-and-death duels in a secret realm.
