Luo Hong overheard Lan Cai'er’s group and the Shadow-Net Sect fighting over the Thousand Cold Hundred Poison Grass, then watched as their standoff escalated into battle. Lan Cai’er’s group unleashed a powerful combined ability against the sect’s cultivators, leaving the clash unresolved.

• Yue Yun told Luo Hong that the Thousand Cold Hundred Poison Grass could aid poisonous beasts and might be used with the Returning Sun Fruit to refine Returning Sun Pills.
• Lan Cai’er refused Ming Mou’s demand to surrender the Ancient Spiritual Medicine and vowed that the Shadow-Net Sect would not take their Nascent Souls into its Yin Luo Banners.

• The Shadow-Net Sect cultivators summoned six Ghost Kings, whose assault destabilized Lan Cai’er’s Green Lotus Magic Array.
• Lan Cai’er and the other five women completed a combined Five Elements ability and unleashed it instantly against the Eagle-eyed Man and his companions.

Lan Cai’er and the other women escaped the Ghost Kings after casting the Heart-Bewitching Curse, but the Eagle-eyed Man pursued them with Huang Snake Demonic Poison. As the women scattered and fought back, the Purple Huang Snake detected someone hiding in the Mushroom Forest, where four unfamiliar Cultivators revealed themselves.

• Lan Cai’er and the other women cast the Heart-Bewitching Curse, briefly disrupting the banner wielders and turning the Six Ghost Kings against their masters.

• The Purple Huang Snake sensed someone concealed in the Mushroom Forest, and four Cultivators dressed unlike Great Jin Cultivators rose into the air.

• The Eagle-eyed Man urged the Mulan cultivators to help the Shadow-Net Sect fight the Immortal Transformation Sect, but Yue Yun wanted to leave.
• Luo Hong told Yue Yun that he had killed the Shadow-Net Sect Leader and then attacked the Yellow-named Demonic Cultivator.
• Luo Hong froze the Yellow-named Demonic Cultivator, killed his body and Nascent Soul with the Black Crow True Flame, and called himself Zhuo Bufan.
• The four remaining Shadow-Net Sect elders regrouped while the Immortal Transformation Sect cultivators hesitated, and then they launched more than ten attacks at Luo Hong.

Luo Hong used Universe Power and the Body Immobilization Curse to overwhelm the Shadow-Net Sect elders, killing four while the Eagle-eyed Man escaped. Afterward, the Immortal Transformation Sect women fled in fear, but Lan Cai'er approached to thank him.

• Luo Hong diverted the four Shadow-Net Sect elders’ attacks with Universe Power, then immobilized three of them with the Body Immobilization Curse.
• Luo Hong killed the three immobilized elders with the Black Crow True Flame, Golden Moon Curved Saber, and Sea Suppressing Bead, then killed the scar-faced female demonic entity with a punch.
• Luo Hong destroyed the escaped Nascent Souls of the scar-faced woman and another elder, while the Eagle-eyed Man used a sinister pill to escape through the Green Light Barrier.
• Luo Hong collected the fallen elders’ Storage Bags and Yin Luo Banners, then watched the frightened Immortal Transformation Sect women scatter.
• Lan Cai'er approached Luo Hong, thanked him for saving them, and apologized for her Junior Sisters’ fear.

Luo Hong accepted Lan Cai'er’s offer to travel together in exchange for the Immortal Transformation Sect’s Dark Domain Map, then led the group toward the Void Shattering Deep Pit by a safer route. Meanwhile, the badly corrupted Ming Dongge was found by four Demon Cultivators after lighting the Demon Summoning Incense.

• Lan Cai'er offered Luo Hong the Immortal Transformation Sect’s map and asked to travel with his group while they searched for Netherflame Fruits.
• Luo Hong accepted the deal after learning the Netherflame Fruit was needed to extend the Nine Nether Underworld Spider’s lifespan.
• Yue Yun warned Luo Hong that the Shadow-Net Sect’s Great Elder was exceptionally powerful, and Luo Hong said he understood the danger.
• Lan Cai’er’s Junior Sisters joined them, and Luo Hong led the combined group aboard the Demon Dragon Boat along a route that avoided dangerous areas.
• The Eagle-eyed Man, Ming Dongge, struggled to suppress the evil qi consuming him until four Demon Cultivators found him and Qiu Wuji recognized that he had taken the Evil Bamboo Pill.
• Ming Dongge demanded that the four Demon Cultivators help suppress his evil qi before questioning him.

Qiu Wuji learned that disguised Righteous Cultivators had killed five Shadow-Net Sect elders and warned the demonic sects to watch for impostors. Meanwhile, Luo Hong's group entered Flame Essence Canyon, where they found that the Flame Essences could quickly reform after being struck apart.

• After Qiu Wuji and three Demon Cultivators suppressed Ming Dongge's evil aura, Ming Dongge said a powerful Righteous Cultivator disguised as a Mulan person had killed his five junior brothers.
• Qiu Wuji suspected the righteous factions and told his companions to test any Mulan or Tuwu people they encountered; the Long-Faced Demon Cultivator sent warning bats to the Ten Great Demonic Sects.
• Qiu Wuji ordered Ming Dongge to accompany them to the Central Area, while Luo Hong's group traveled into the region and secretly used the Bright Spirit Rat to harvest immature Ancient Spiritual Medicine.
• At Flame Essence Canyon, Lan Cai'er explained that the gorge was preferable to the dangerous Evil Blood Wasteland, and Luo Hong led the group inside.
• Flame Essences attacked with fire Spells, but the group's attacks scattered them without killing them, and the creatures began gathering their flames to reform.

Little Gold devoured Flame Essence crystal cores in the gorge, gaining strength until the King of Flame Essences appeared. Luo Hong and Little Gold fought the Black Flame Giant Serpent together, leaving its head exposed beneath Little Gold’s beak.

• Little Gold emerged from the Spirit Beast Bag and used her Form-Destroying Golden Light to expose and devour Flame Essence crystal cores.
• As Little Gold consumed more cores, a Velvet Chrysanthemum-shaped mark appeared on her chest and her aura grew toward a breakthrough.
• The Black Flame Giant Serpent formed from the gorge’s fire and rocks, and Lan Cai'er realized it contained the cores of two Flame Essence Kings.
• Little Gold attacked the serpent with Form-Destroying Golden Light while Luo Hong closed in and destroyed its tail with a barrage of fist shadows.
• Little Gold seized the serpent and tried to peck its head, but it twisted away; Luo Hong knocked its head beneath her beak.

After Luo Hong and Little Gold defeated the King of Flame Essences, Little Gold began a dangerous breakthrough that drew two Beast Tides toward the gorge. Luo Hong prepared to defend her and the others by activating the Universe Inversion Great Formation.

• Little Gold took the King of Flame Essences’ crystal cores, and the resulting breakthrough enveloped her in Velvet Chrysanthemum-like spirit particles.
• Luo Hong warned the others to retreat and stayed beside Yue Yun, while Little Gold’s breakthrough released Nirvana Flesh Incense.
• Zhong Meng reported that two Beast Tides were charging toward the gorge from the Evil Blood Wasteland.
• Luo Hong told the group they could leave, but Lan Cai'er and the others stayed as the Beast Tides approached.
• Luo Hong used the Yin Yang Ruyi Jade to complete the Universe Inversion Great Formation and sent a Black-Red Fire Crow underground.

Luo Hong used the Heaven-Earth Reversal Formation to turn successive Beast Tide waves against each other while Lan Cai'er and the others killed high-grade beasts. When two Wasteland Overlords arrived, Yueyang Palace intervened over the Cyclops, and Luo Hong began fighting the Blazing Fire Mad Bull.

• Luo Hong activated the formation, forcing the Bloodfang Black Wolves and Human-Faced Spiders to attack one another.
• Lan Cai'er led her Junior Sisters and the Zhong siblings in killing high-grade vicious beasts, while Luo Hong kept Yue Yun by his side and controlled the formation.
• Two Wasteland Overlords, a Cyclops and a Blazing Fire Mad Bull, arrived at the formation.
• Lan Cai'er held back the Cyclops with her Imitation Spirit Treasure, while a Mulan Magician physically stopped the Blazing Fire Mad Bull.
• Luo Panyang and three Yueyang Palace cultivators entered the fight and moved to claim the Cyclops, while Luo Hong engaged the Blazing Fire Mad Bull.

Luo Hong used the Black Crow True Flame to wound and distract the Blazing Fire Mad Bull, then prepared the Six-Six Soul Annihilation Curse. The Nirvana Flesh Incense intensified as the golden sphere around Little Gold neared an explosion, sending the ferocious beasts fleeing and drawing Luo Panyang and the others toward it.

• Luo Hong dodged the Blazing Fire Mad Bull’s attacks and struck it, but its tough body resisted his physical blows.
• The Blazing Fire Mad Bull unleashed Leaving Fire blades and earth spikes, forcing Luo Hong to evade while the battles elsewhere continued.
• Luo Hong summoned the Black-Red Fire Crow, which burned the Blazing Fire Mad Bull and interrupted its attacks as he positioned thirty-six Black Pearls for the Six-Six Soul Annihilation Curse.
• A violent surge of spiritual qi came from Little Gold’s sphere, and the intensifying Nirvana Flesh Incense drew Luo Panyang and the other three toward it.
• The ferocious beasts and both Wasteland Overlords fled the formation, while Luo Hong recalled the Black-Red Fire Crow and warned that Little Gold’s golden sphere was about to explode.

Little Gold’s breakthrough unleashed a Form-Destroying Golden Light Explosion, allowing Luo Hong’s group to survive while two Yueyang Palace cultivators perished. After recovering and leaving Flame Essence Canyon, Luo Hong’s group headed for the Void Shattering Deep Pit as Lan Cai’er’s group began searching for Netherflame Fruit; elsewhere, Righteous Cultivators gathered above an Azure Phosphorus Pool.

• Little Gold’s breakthrough triggered a golden explosion that destroyed nearby savage beasts, while Luo Hong protected his companions inside a barrier.
• Luo Panyang and a Red-faced Daoist escaped using Metal-element defenses, but two of their fellow Yueyang Palace cultivators died in agony.
• Little Gold landed on Luo Hong’s shoulder after reaching Mid-stage Transformation as a Level Nine Spirit Beast, and Luo Hong gave Soul Annihilation Curse Talismans to the cultivators who had helped him.
• After resting and retrieving the formation equipment, Luo Hong’s group crossed the rest of Flame Essence Canyon without further attacks.
• Luo Hong parted ways with Lan Cai’er and led Yue Yun and the other two toward the Void Shattering Deep Pit, while Lan Cai’er’s group went to search for Netherflame Fruit.
• A group of Righteous Cultivators gathered above an Azure Phosphorus Pool on the outskirts of the Central Area.

Luo Panyang gathered cultivators from the ten righteous sects with a Righteous Qi Token and warned them that the demonic path might be targeting the Heavenly Heart Divine Tree. The gathering ended with Luo Panyang summoning two Nascent Souls to explain the abilities of the spirit beast with a True Spirit Bloodline.

• Marquis Dushan complained that the Taiyi Sect had not arrived, and Wen Ke brought two Taiyi Sect cultivators while explaining that Yin Qiao had gone missing at the River of Samsara.
• Luo Panyang told the gathered cultivators that demonic path groups had coordinated a Beast Tide at Flame Essence Canyon, where he encountered a spirit beast with a True Spirit Bloodline.
• The cultivators speculated that Luo Hong and the spirit beast were connected to the demonic path, and Marquis Dushan realized the beast might be destined to reach the tenth rank.
• Luo Panyang proposed that the demonic path had entered the Dark Domain to make the Heavenly Heart Divine Tree bear fruit, while Wen Ke said the tree's fruit could help the beast advance.
• Luo Panyang summoned the Nascent Souls of two junior brothers and asked them to describe the demonic beast's divine abilities.

Luo Hong and his companions entered the Void Shattering Deep Pit to gather World Crystals before the Tuwu people, while the cultivators above prepared for the devilish path’s suspected attempt to ripen the Heavenly Heart Fruit. They descended through insect-filled depths and reached the lower layer, where nearly invisible, shifting Spatial Rifts made the journey far more dangerous.

• Luo Panyang and a Nascent Soul survivor described how a demonic beast’s golden light destroyed the physical bodies of two Yueyang Palace cultivators, prompting the others to fear its power.
• Marquis Dushan predicted that the devilish path would try to ripen the Heavenly Heart Fruit in the final days, and the cultivators agreed to watch for them while continuing their search for Ancient Spiritual Medicine.
• Three days later, Luo Hong, Yue Yun, Zhong Ling, and Zhuo reached the Void Shattering Deep Pit and found no sign that the Tuwu people had arrived before them.
• Luo Hong set up several formations in the pit, then led the group down past Spatial Rifts and through attacks by vicious insects.
• Yue Yun and the others defeated the insect beasts as they descended, and Yue Yun warned them that the lower layer contained dim, shifting Spatial Rifts that were extremely difficult to detect.

Luo Hong explored the spatial rifts in the Void Shattering Deep Pit, discovering that his Petrifying Demon Eye could reveal the invisible ones. He began investigating why those rifts persisted, leaving their true cause unresolved.

• Luo Hong found that his spiritual sense could detect dim spatial rifts but not the invisible ones, then arranged for Yue Yun and the others to gather World Crystals above while he searched below.
• Luo Hong collected nearby World Crystals with ease and descended past the limit of his spiritual sense despite Yue Yun's warning.
• Luo Hong opened his Petrifying Demon Eye and saw invisible spatial rifts as faintly glowing fissures.
• Luo Hong concluded that invisible rifts drew in tiny amounts of Spiritual Qi instead of releasing the Power of Space, and wondered why Heaven and Earth Force did not close them.
• Luo Hong connected the invisible rifts in the Void Shattering Deep Pit and Demon Fall Valley to their abundant spatial rifts and unusually concentrated Spiritual Qi, then resolved to investigate further.

Luo Hong discovered that invisible spatial rifts could be sealed by draining their Spirit Particles, then followed the Bright Spirit Rat’s ancient memory to the bottom of the pit. There he found a silver spearhead embedded in a gigantic skull, and its contact with his puppet left him sensing danger.

• Luo Hong used the Petrifying Demon Eye to drain Spirit Particles from an invisible spatial rift and watched Heaven and Earth mend it.
• The Bright Spirit Rat showed Luo Hong an ancient memory of a Sky-Piercing Spear falling from the sky, leading him to suspect that Mo Han sought the object below.
• Luo Hong forced his way through a dense field of invisible spatial rifts and found a colossal White Bone Skull at the pit’s bottom.
• Luo Hong spotted a silver spearhead embedded in the skull and sent a Black Giant Eagle puppet to retrieve it.
• When the puppet touched the silver spearhead, Luo Hong felt a sudden sense of dread.

Luo Hong survived a violent spatial gale caused by the Silver Spearhead and discovered that it bore Silver Tadpole Script. Using the Golden Que Jade Book, he drew the spearhead free and sealed it, but hesitated to store it in his Myriad Treasures Pouch in case severing their connection provoked it.

• The Silver Spearhead unleashed a spatial gale that scattered the World Crystals and threatened Yue Yun, Zhong Meng, and Zhong Ling, but Luo Hong had warned them to take shelter.
• After the gale passed, Luo Hong saw that the giant eagle puppet had vanished and recognized the Silver Tadpole Script on the Silver Spearhead as a possible sign of a Profound Heaven Remnant Fragment.
• Luo Hong summoned his half of the Golden Que Jade Book, and the Silver Tadpole Script reappeared in response.
• The Silver Spearhead pulled itself from the White Bone Skull, which crumbled, and Luo Hong drew the spearhead toward the Golden Que Jade Book and sealed it with its Restrictions.
• Luo Hong stopped before putting the sealed Silver Spearhead in his Myriad Treasures Pouch, fearing it would unleash its power if separated from the jade book's aura.

Luo Hong stored the Silver Spearhead in his Sea of Consciousness and fled upward from the Void Shattering Deep Pit as spatial turbulence sent insect corpses raining down. Above the pit, Mo Han killed a Nine Nether Sect cultivator and rushed toward the disturbance, prompting Lin Yinping to follow him while sending others to search for scattered World Crystals.

• Luo Hong safely stored the Silver Spearhead beside the half section of the Golden Que Jade Book, then activated his defenses and fled upward through falling insect corpses.
• Sun Zhenyang confronted Lin Yinping and her Tuwu group, demanding to inspect their cultivation after suspecting the Righteous Sects were plotting against the Demonic Dao.
• Lin Yinping unleashed the Tuwu people’s mature Gold Devouring Insects as the two groups fought, but a massive Spatial Fluctuation from the Void Shattering Deep Pit interrupted them.
• Mo Han implanted eighteen black needles into vital acupoints, unleashed Ghost Mist, and dragged a Nine Nether Sect cultivator’s Nascent Soul from his body, killing him.
• Sun Zhenyang withdrew with his surviving companions and the dead cultivator’s body, while Lin Yinping ordered Jiang Cun to search for World Crystals and pursued Mo Han toward the pit.

Luo Hong collected World Crystals and a nest of silver beetles in the Void Shattering Deep Pit before confronting Mo Han, who was possessed by Silver Fairy and demanded the Silver Spearhead. Lin Yinping arrived as Mo Han pleaded for her help against Luo Hong.

• Luo Hong reunited with Yue Yun and the Zhong siblings, gave them over thirty World Crystals, and urged them to leave the pit before the Tuwu people arrived.
• Luo Hong found silver beetles eating a World Crystal, captured them, and stored them in his Myriad Treasures Pouch.
• A powerful intruder broke Luo Hong's formation at the pit's summit, and Luo Hong recognized him as Mo Han and sent Yue Yun and the Zhong siblings away with the crystals.
• Mo Han demanded to know how Luo Hong had touched the Sky Shattering Spear, and Luo Hong revealed that he knew Silver Fairy was hiding inside Mo Han.
• Silver Fairy demanded the spearhead, but Luo Hong refused to surrender it and claimed it had chosen him as its master.
• Lin Yinping arrived, questioned Mo Han's loyalty, and aimed her magic treasure at him as Mo Han asked her to help defeat Luo Hong.
