  • Xuan Fu uses his Space Folding Power, Fire and Space Origins, and a green-red space fire wall to withstand Kongming’s attack.
  • He then detonates residual Fire Origin between Yanhuang and Kongming. The blast blocks Kongming’s pursuit and completely destroys Yanhuang’s already weakened remnant soul, scattering its origin fragments throughout the chaos.
  • Kongming continues chasing Xuan Fu, while the mysterious presence remains locked onto him. Xuan Fu escapes into a dangerous spatial rift left behind by Pangu’s Sky-Opening Axe.
  • Inside the rift, Xuan Fu avoids countless space fragments and repairs his damaged talisman body with Life Origin. The rift temporarily blocks external detection, allowing him to evade both Kongming and the mysterious gaze.
  • Xuan Fu emerges into a region where pure and turbid energies are beginning to separate, revealing the early formation of the Primordial Continent and signaling the end of the chaotic era.
  • He discovers a Chaos Crystal surrounded by the remains of a fallen demon god. The crystal contains exceptionally clear Dao Trajectories left by Pangu’s axe, embodying the principles of “Rigid” and “Break.”

  • His understanding of talisman power advances dramatically. By integrating “Rigid” with “Soft,” he develops a unique ability far stronger and more versatile than his previous single-attribute techniques.

1. Key Plot Points and Events

  • Kongming Demon God attacks Xuan Fu to seize the power emerging from the Chaos Crystal. At the critical moment, the crystal releases immense golden light imbued with the Sky-Opening Great Dao.

  • Kongming launches another assault and is wounded by Xuan Fu’s newly formed talisman blade. He then unleashes his innate divine ability, a river of Space Origin, but Xuan Fu combines the crystal’s power with his talisman array to block it.
  • A mysterious phantom emerges from the Chaos Crystal. Its power is comparable to or possibly greater than Pangu’s. It easily restrains Kongming, strips away part of his Space Origin, and forces him to flee.
  • The phantom then grants Xuan Fu a second beam of golden light containing profound Sky-Opening insights. Xuan Fu realizes that true rigidity and softness are opposing manifestations of the Great Dao: rigidity can split heaven and earth, softness can embrace all things, and their harmony can evolve all laws.
  • After the phantom returns to the crystal, Xuan Fu’s strength increases substantially. His talisman body becomes stronger than that of an ordinary low-level demon god, his spiritual sense expands to ten thousand miles, and his Rigid-Soft Dao becomes far more refined.
  • Xuan Fu collects scattered Origin Fragments, then leaves the increasingly dangerous chaos as the Primordial Continent begins to take shape.
  • He arrives on the newly formed Primordial Continent and settles in a secluded valley near the edge of chaos. There, he establishes Stealth, Warning, and Defense Talisman Arrays.
  • By refining the Origin Fragments, Xuan Fu strengthens his talisman system and creates a powerful new artifact, the Rigid-Soft World-Breaking Talisman, which combines destructive Sky-Opening force with protective spatial power.
  • A powerful Dragon Clan member, Ao Guang, approaches the valley and requests its use. Xuan Fu reveals himself and adopts a humble, cautious attitude.

His Rigid-Soft Talisman Dao evolves from a basic combination of opposing forces into a more profound Dao capable of harmonizing and reproducing aspects of the Sky-Opening Great Dao. He becomes stronger, more cautious, and more strategically mature, choosing concealment and diplomacy when facing powerful opponents.
  • Kongming Demon God: His greed drives him to continue attacking despite the Chaos Crystal’s overwhelming power. He is badly injured, loses part of his Space Origin, and is forced into retreat. However, his survival and pursuit suggest that he remains a threat.
  • The Chaos Crystal’s Phantom: Revealed as an extraordinarily powerful and mysterious existence connected to the Sky-Opening Great Dao. It protects or assists Xuan Fu while deliberately sparing Kongming, leaving its identity and motives unclear.

3. Significant Themes

  • Unavoidable conflict: Xuan Fu seeks isolation, but the spiritual vein, the Three Clans, and Kongming draw him directly into the coming struggle.

4. Character Interactions

  • Xuan Fu and Kongming: Their battle shifts from Kongming’s attempted seizure of Xuan Fu’s opportunity to Xuan Fu’s successful defense and Kongming’s defeat. Xuan Fu does not pursue him, prioritizing survival and the Chaos Crystal’s inheritance.
  • Xuan Fu and the Chaos Crystal Phantom: The phantom indirectly protects Xuan Fu, grants him profound Dao insights, and judges him without obvious hostility. Xuan Fu responds with gratitude and respect.
  • Xuan Fu and Ao Guang: Xuan Fu reveals himself respectfully and offers to yield the valley, while Ao Guang evaluates his cultivation and talisman skills with interest rather than immediate aggression.
  • Ao Guang, Phoenix Clan, and Kirin Clan: Their simultaneous arrival creates a tense three-way confrontation over the hidden spiritual vein and foreshadows the Three Clans Hegemony.
  • Xuan Fu and the Three Clans: Xuan Fu becomes an unwilling intermediary caught between the emerging factions, while trying to conceal his true strength and avoid becoming their enemy.
  • Kongming and the Three Clans: Kongming’s familiar aura at the end implies that he is following or using the Three Clans, setting up a possible convergence of enemies and political powers.
