Su Fan fought Suo Kun, a powerful clone of the Kui Demon Race, and used the Demon Slaying Sword, his hammer, and an eighth-grade Lightning Talisman to drain and injure it. After both combatants were battered and exhausted, Su Fan closed in and began overwhelming Suo Kun with close-range techniques.

• Suo Kun dismissed Su Fan's attack, but Su Fan's Demon Slaying Sword broke its scales and lodged in its shoulder, while Suo Kun revealed that it was from the Kui Demon Race.

• Su Fan returned to a packed resource point and waited several days before boarding an overcrowded vessel out of Fragment 397.
• Heavenly Ruins Market investigators reconstructed the battle, and news that a late-Nascent Soul Realm cultivator had killed hundreds of Deity Transformation Stage cultivators and a Void Refining Stage old monster spread across the Cultivation World.
• The Feng Family mourned its losses, while its enemies publicized the disaster; Su Fan's past victories helped persuade more people that the reports were true.
• Several years later, Su Fan arrived at Yuhai Immortal City in Chaohai Tian after changing identities and traveling through several star domains.

Su Fan settled in Bihai City under the identity of Liu Mozhen, a Golden Core Talisman Master, to hide from Forgetfulness River Palace while improving his talisman skills. As he checked Liu Mozhen’s evil cultivator organization communication disk, a crimson message appeared and stunned him.

• Su Fan arrived in Yuhai Immortal City, judged it too costly and exposed, and decided to find a local identity elsewhere in the Chisha Archipelago.
• After searching for more than a year, Su Fan took over Liu Mozhen’s identity and Wonderful Talisman Pavilion in Bihai City.
• Su Fan stayed inside the city, cultivating and studying Liu Mozhen’s Talisman Dao inheritance so he could maintain the disguise.
• Su Fan practiced making Talismans until midnight, then activated Liu Mozhen’s communication disk to inspect the evil cultivator organization’s notices.
• A crimson message appeared on the screen, and Su Fan was stunned by it.

Su Fan discovered that the Celestial Race and the Feng Family had placed a massive bounty on him, making him a target across the Cultivation World. He hid in his Portable Secret Realm to temper his bloodline and, after months of cultivation, went to a teahouse in Bihai City to listen for news.

• Su Fan found his identity and battle record exposed on a bounty issued through Forgetfulness River Palace, then learned the Celestial Race and the Feng Family had jointly funded it.
• Su Fan realized the bounty would attract assassins, cultivators, and rival races, and resolved to use the time he had to strengthen himself by refining the extraterrestrial great demon’s bloodline.
• Su Fan continued his bloodline tempering in the Portable Secret Realm while Sister Zhen managed construction and asked him to bring in mortals and cultivators to help.
• Su Fan agreed to consider bringing people into the secret realm, then left it and went to a teahouse in Bihai City to gather information.
• Su Fan overheard cultivators at a neighboring table say something that made him sit up straight.

Su Fan attended an evil cultivator gathering in Bihai City and learned that the Forgetfulness River Palace and other groups had left the Falling Star Heavenly Ruins to pursue him. He remained hidden in Chaohai Tian, resolved to strengthen himself, and began making secret arrangements around the city.

• Su Fan heard in a teahouse that the bounty on him had spread widely and that his pursuers had spent more than a year searching the Falling Star Heavenly Ruins.
• Su Fan used Liu Mozhen’s identity to attend an evil cultivator gathering, where he learned that the Forgetfulness River Palace and other organizations had left the ruins and were offering rewards for information about him.
• Su Fan concluded that leaving Chaohai Tian would be too dangerous, so he planned to stay concealed in Bihai City and improve his strength.
• Su Fan used a tracking technique to follow evil cultivators he had marked at the gathering, then visited a secluded courtyard and continued making arrangements.

Su Fan completed the second round of bloodline tempering while hiding in Chaohai Tian, strengthening his abilities before his pursuers could find him. He prepared to explore ancient battlefield danger zones, then noticed Sister Zhen had returned looking strangely shy.

• Su Fan continued tempering his bloodline and learned that Evil Buddha Wang De had given Sister Zhen a Ghost Path cultivation art in exchange for several Ghost Slaves.
• Sister Zhen stayed away for more than a month, and Wang De told Su Fan she had asked him for the cultivation art but refused to explain more.
• Su Fan completed his second round of bloodline tempering, improving his physical and soul-related statistics while remaining in the late Nascent Soul Realm.
• Su Fan studied detailed maps of ancient battlefields in Chaohai Tian and decided to visit several danger zones before his pursuers arrived.
• Sister Zhen returned to serve Su Fan a meal, and he noticed she was blushing and looked prettier than before.

Su Fan learned that Sister Zhen had used a Joyful Union Path technique to plant a love seed in him, while he prepared the Storm Reef Cluster as an escape route from the Forgetfulness River Palace's bounty hunters. Soul Chaser's team tracked Su Fan's aura to Chaohai Tian, and Su Fan returned to Bihai City after making preparations in the Storm Reef Cluster.

• Su Fan attended an evil cultivators' gathering, traded for maps of dangerous ancient battlefields, and considered where to hide from his pursuers.
• Su Fan questioned Evil Buddha Wang De and learned that Sister Zhen had obtained a Joyful Union Path technique suited to ghost cultivators.
• Su Fan realized Sister Zhen had planted a love seed in him, which would bind her to him and cause her severe backlash if she changed her heart.
• Soul Chaser's bounty hunters learned from Master Hongtu that Su Fan's aura had appeared in Chaohai Tian and set out to pursue him.
• Su Fan spent more than half a year exploring the Storm Reef Cluster and Savage Bone Blood Sea, chose the Storm Reef Cluster as an escape route, and returned to Bihai City.

Su Fan learned that Forgetfulness River Palace had mobilized Chaohai Tian’s organizations to hunt the bounty target and tried to flee Bihai City before they could locate him. The city was sealed before he escaped, leaving him trapped as he destroyed a jade talisman and prepared to change plans.

• Su Fan attended True Monarch Hongchuan’s gathering, where he sensed danger when Hongchuan abruptly left.
• Immortal Venerable Xuancheng told Floating Mountain Society’s middle-ranking members to stand by while they awaited orders concerning Forgetfulness River Palace’s bounty.

• Su Fan discovered that the teleportation hall had closed and the city’s Defensive Array had sealed Bihai City before he could reach the gates.
• Su Fan returned to the Wonderful Talisman Pavilion, watched for news, and crushed a jade talisman as he reconsidered his options.

Su Fan learned that Forgetfulness River Palace and the Celestial Race were searching the Chisha Archipelago, while his false trails split their forces. With the archipelago sealed for three days and hunters converging, he decided to escape Bihai City before they found him and entered its teleportation hall.

• Soul Chaser learned from Blood Hand that divination had located Su Fan in Wangyue City, and sent hunters toward Xuanming Island while others watched the Celestial Race in Yuhai Immortal City.
• Su Fan activated false auras across the Chisha Archipelago and paid for intelligence, learning that the lockdown would last three days and that eight Celestial Race cultivators had reached Yuhai Immortal City.
• Su Fan decided that waiting for the lockdown to end was too dangerous and resolved to escape Bihai City before the hunters discovered his real location.
• Black Radiance followed the Celestial Race toward Heluan City, while Chimu sent hunters to Bihai City after Master Hongtu divined that location.
• As a storm battered Bihai City, Su Fan entered the teleportation hall to leave the island.

Su Fan escaped Bihai City before Chimu and Forgetfulness River Palace could capture him, then traveled to the Storm Reef Cluster to prepare a trap for his pursuers. After paying to enter Ghost Reef, he used the Witchcraft Path wooden carving to raise his cultivation and transformed into a great demon as the reef’s Deity Transformation Stage master confronted him.

• Su Fan overpowered the Teleportation Array Hall’s guards, persuaded Bihai City’s Deity Transformation Stage cultivators not to interfere, and left through a side door with their help.
• Chimu arrived in Bihai City and found only an unconscious cultivator carrying Su Fan’s aura, while pursuers later uncovered the false traces he had left across the Chisha Archipelago.
• Su Fan traveled for more than a month to the Storm Reef Cluster, spent months learning its dangerous routes, and chose Ghost Reef as the site of his planned trap.
• Su Fan paid the fee to enter Ghost Reef and went to the island master’s compound while the upper-realm master of the Witchcraft Path agreed to help him.
• Su Fan activated the Witchcraft Path wooden carving, reached the mid-stage of the Deity Transformation Stage, and used Demonic Transformation to become a huge demon.
• Ghost Reef’s Deity Transformation Stage master appeared and asked who had arrived, while Su Fan prepared to kill the reef’s demonic cultivators and bandit cultivators.

Su Fan transformed and slaughtered the lord of Ghost Reef and more than ten thousand cultivators, then purged the Storm Island Reef to gather corpses for a Witchcraft School Blood Formation. When the formation required more sacrifices, the Big Shot of the Witchcraft School Upper Realm suggested buying Sea Clan cultivators, and Su Fan decided to investigate.

• Su Fan used his eighth-grade Demon Subduing Heaven Splitting Mountain Suppressing Hammer to kill the lord of Ghost Reef, then destroyed the consciousness of every cultivator on the reef with his inherited divine ability.
• Sister Zhen and Yaksha gathered the corpses, Yin Souls, and spoils from Ghost Reef.
• Su Fan spent several days slaughtering the bandits and evil cultivators across the Storm Island Reef, including more than ten Deity Transformation Stage overlords and over one hundred thousand lower-realm cultivators.
• Su Fan asked the Big Shot of the Witchcraft School Upper Realm whether the corpses could fuel the Witchcraft School Blood Formation, but learned they would not sustain it long enough to ensnare his pursuers.
• The Big Shot of the Witchcraft School Upper Realm suggested that Su Fan buy Sea Clan cultivators for the blood sacrifice, and Su Fan decided to ask around in Sea Clan territory.

Su Fan traded Radiant Sun Essence Stones for Sea Clan corpses and used them to prepare a ninth-tier Witchcraft formation across Storm Island Reef. As Forgetfulness River Palace, the Celestial Race, and more than a thousand bounty hunters closed in, he remained at the reef while the pursuers obtained a map and guide.

• Su Fan exchanged Radiant Sun Essence Stones with Sha Yantuo for a conch full of Sea Clan demonic beasts and a seven-colored shell, then arranged to trade again.
• Su Fan repeatedly traded with the Tiger-striped Demonic Sharks for corpses and, under a Witchcraft School Upper Realm Big Shot's guidance, built the Nine Yin Inverted Soul-Bewitching Bloodlight Great Formation across Storm Island Reef.
• Soul Chaser, Forgetfulness River Palace, Celestial Race members, and more than a thousand bounty hunters set out for Storm Island Reef after a divination cultivator located Su Fan.
• Escaped cultivators spread news that Su Fan had slaughtered more than a hundred thousand people, frightening Chaohai Tian and drawing crowds toward Storm Island Reef to watch the coming battle.
• Soul Chaser and the other pursuers obtained a map of Storm Island Reef and found a guide before entering the dangerous reef cluster.

Soul Chaser suspected Su Fan had prepared traps inside the Storm Island Reef, so he split the Forgetfulness River Palace forces and kept a reserve squad nearby. Meanwhile, Xun Yi led Celestial Race cultivators into the reef, where a talisman revealed Su Fan’s presence behind a formation on Ghost Reef.

• Soul Chaser refused to rush into the Storm Island Reef and questioned his guide about its exits and nearby secluded islands.
• Soul Chaser ordered Black Radiance to guard the reef’s three entrances while he and the others waited on a nearby island, and he sent a reserve squad in to scout cautiously.
• Xun Yi arrived with Celestial Race cultivators, confirmed through divination that Su Fan was in the Storm Island Reef, and ordered Li Tong to guide them inside.
• Other bounty hunters gathered outside the reef as Li Tong led Xun Yi’s group through the spatial storms to Ghost Reef.
• Xun Yi’s jade talisman indicated Su Fan was on Ghost Reef, so he ordered his cultivators to break its eighth-grade formation.

Xun Yi and the Celestial Race cultivators battered Ghost Reef’s Eighth-tier Defensive Array until Xun Yi summoned a devastating Golden Greatsword from beyond the heavens and broke it. As they prepared to storm the reef, Su Fan launched a surprise sword attack from behind, leaving Xun Yi and his companions no time to react.

• Xun Yi and the Celestial Race cultivators attacked Ghost Reef’s Eighth-tier Defensive Array with golden beams and greatswords.
• Xun Yi tracked the bounty target with his jade talisman and focused his attacks on breaking the array before other bounty hunters arrived.
• Xun Yi summoned a colossal Golden Greatsword with power drawn from beyond the heavens, and its strike shattered the array’s Spiritual Energy Shield.
• Xun Yi urged the Celestial Race cultivators to enter Ghost Reef and kill the target, but Su Fan struck them from behind with a powerful sword attack.
• Xun Yi sensed Su Fan’s attack too late to react and shouted a warning to the others.

Su Fan ambushed Xun Yi and the other Celestial Race cultivators, then used a blood sacrifice to activate a ninth-tier formation that drove more than a thousand bounty hunters in Storm Island Reef into a frenzy and slaughtered them. As the formation continued to hold, Soul Chaser and the surviving bounty hunters waited outside, planning to kill Su Fan when it faded.

• Su Fan struck Xun Yi and the Celestial Race cultivators from behind, killed them and their Yin Gods, then repaired Ghost Reef’s defensive array.
• Su Fan waited until the hunters had entered Storm Island Reef, then crushed a blood-colored talisman to activate the Nine Yin Inverted Soul-Bewitching Bloodlight Great Formation.
• The formation trapped the cultivators and stripped away their reason, causing more than a thousand hunters to attack one another and die amid the island’s Spatial Storms.
• Soul Chaser, Chimu, Blood Hand, and the other surviving bounty hunters watched from outside and decided not to enter while the ninth-tier formation remained active.
• Human and Sea Clan Big Shots arrived, briefly mistook the bloodlight for an attack, then left without interfering after discovering the cause.
• Soul Chaser gathered the surviving hunters and prepared them to enter Storm Island Reef and kill Su Fan once the formation disappeared.

Su Fan survived the slaughter inside the ninth-tier Bloodlight Great Formation, but several Void Refining Stage evil cultivators were waiting outside, and he feared the pursuit that would follow his escape. With the Witchcraft School Upper Realm Big Shot urging him to strike first, Su Fan agreed to risk fighting them, then left the formation eye to loot the battlefield as Soul Chaser and the bounty hunters charged in.

• The Bloodlight Great Formation drove the trapped cultivators into a frenzy, and nearly all of the thousand or so elites died or collapsed after slaughtering one another.
• The Witchcraft School Upper Realm Big Shot warned Su Fan that several Void Refining Stage evil cultivators waited outside, and offered to raise him to Half-step Void Refining so he could fight them.
• Su Fan considered fleeing to Sea Clan territory but realized his actions had made him a target across the Cultivation World; he agreed to attack the Void Refining Stage cultivators instead.
• As the formation faded, Su Fan used a protective immortal talisman, left the formation eye, and went to collect the corpses before outsiders could claim them.
• Soul Chaser waited until the formation collapsed, then led more than a dozen Forgetfulness River Palace bounty hunters into the Storm Island Reef to kill Su Fan.
