Luo Hong brought a small group of mortals out of their ghost-controlled town, then accompanied Sikong Ying to find her family at Green Lotus Mountain. There, they learned that the Sikong clans had gathered to help an orthodox cultivator of the direct lineage break through to Integration Stage, though Sikong Ying’s excitement soon faded.

• The Buddha Bone King suspected King Qiqiao was in grave danger and took out an emergency communication token.

Luo Hong seized control of a secluded valley in the Big-headed Ghost Kingdom and began preparing its formations to reforge his Netherworld Grotto-heaven. Meanwhile, King Mingxiong’s incarnation watched the Big-headed Ancestor awaken and consume ghost pearls, leaving its next target unclear.

• Luo Hong disguised himself as Rabbit Lip, immobilized the ghosts in the valley, and used his Netherworld Grotto-heaven to bring them under his control.
• Luo Hong ordered the ghosts to help modify the formations and invited Mother of Parasitic Insects out of his grotto-heaven while he worked.
• King Mingxiong’s incarnation and Buddha Bone King watched the Big-headed Ancestor’s Blood Pool and discussed using it to test Luo Hong’s strength.
• The Big-headed Ancestor emerged as a gigantic-headed Ghost Infant and killed the fleeing Big-headed Ghosts while leaving their ghost pearls intact.
• The Ghost Infant swallowed the ghost pearls, then consumed the Yellow Turban Ghost King’s severed arm and the Red Turban Ghost King’s blood-red wooden box.

Luo Hong refined the Yellow Springs Ghost Hand in Netherwind Valley while Little Gold ambushed the two Big-headed Ghost Kings who arrived to investigate. Little Gold killed the Red Turban Ghost King, but the Yellow Turban Ghost King threw the Aperture-Opening Ghost Pearl into the Blood Infant Bag, drawing the Mother of Parasitic Insects’ attention with its scent.

• The Yellow Turban Ghost King and the Red Turban Ghost King hurried toward the Great Yin Wind Pool, while the Burly Ghost and Buddha Bone King secretly followed them.
• Luo Hong used the Five Qi Refining Origin Grand Formation to seal the Yellow Springs Wind in a cauldron and began refining the Yellow Springs Ghost Hand with prepared materials.
• When Luo Hong’s alert formation detected the two Ghost Kings approaching, he sent Little Gold to ambush them and continued his treasure refinement.
• Little Gold trapped the Red Turban Ghost King with golden ghost pearls and destroyed him with the Extreme Destruction Divine Light, while the Yellow Turban Ghost King evaded her attacks.
• The Yellow Turban Ghost King deduced that Luo Hong was occupied with treasure refinement and, after resisting Little Gold, placed the Red Turban Ghost King’s Aperture-Opening Ghost Pearl in the Blood Infant Bag and threw it toward the Mother of Parasitic Insects.

Luo Hong’s refinement was interrupted by the Big-headed Ghost Infant, but Mother of Parasitic Insects devoured the attackers and let him resume his work. Seven years later, the Yellow Springs Realm’s Heavenly Dao reacted to the laws his Netherworld Grotto-heaven had taken, and Luo Hong flew into the thunderclouds to confront it.

• The Burly Ghost and Buddha Bone King watched the Big-headed Ghost Infant threaten Luo Hong’s golden roc, until the Burly Ghost spotted Mother of Parasitic Insects concealed above the blood mist.
• Mother of Parasitic Insects ambushed and devoured the Big-headed Ghost Infant, then used her abilities to swallow the Yellow Turban Ghost King and his yin beast soldiers.
• The Burly Ghost and Buddha Bone King fled after witnessing Mother of Parasitic Insects’s power, while Luo Hong cast the Rahula Crystal Core into the giant cauldron and began refining it.
• Seven years later, the Yellow Springs Realm’s blood suns released beams of Xue Guang into the Yellow Springs Ghost Hand, and yellow thunderclouds gathered over the valley.
• Luo Hong explained that his Netherworld Grotto-heaven had taken some of the realm’s Heavenly Dao Laws and flew into the thunderclouds wreathed in purple lightning.

Bi Ying learned that Luo Hong was tied to Venerable Ming’s plans and prepared to confront him, but an urgent threat from the Yellow Springs Realm intervened. Luo Hong used the Gates of Hell to seize the million-strong Yin Phosphorus Army, forcing the ghost forces to withdraw before he approached Bi Ying’s assembled alliance forces.

• Bi Ying accused Venerable Ming of leaking information about Luo Hong, and Venerable Ming identified Luo Hong as a powerful ally of Mo Bufan and urged Bi Ying to spare his life.
• Bi Ying received an urgent plea for help and teleported to a Blood Sky Stronghold, where Lei Yuan and Wen Xinfeng joined him to face the Yellow Springs Realm’s ghost army.
• Luo Hong summoned the Gates of Hell and drew the million-strong Yin Phosphorus Army into his Fifth-Tier Grotto-heaven.
• The burly ghost conceded the realm and withdrew his forces, while the Buddha Bone King gathered supplies and the dark clouds vanished over seven days.
• Luo Hong flew to Bi Ying’s assembled forces, and Bi Ying denied that they had gathered to deal with him.

Luo Hong revealed that he had defeated several Ghost Kings and claimed the Ten Kings of the Underworld’s share of the Lesser Cloud Realm’s resources, then negotiated with the Helian Merchant Alliance. The Alliance agreed to his conditions and to help support his formation against a powerful enemy at Qiyun Mountain Range.

• Luo Hong showed Bi Ying and the others the Aperture-Opening Ghost Pearls of King Qiqiao, King Zhuanlun, and Purple Heart King, proving that he had won the Bet Battle against the Ten Kings of the Underworld.
• Luo Hong explained that the Ten Kings were occupied with war against the Night Ghost Clan and proposed that the Alliance seal the Spatial Nodes connecting the Yellow Springs Realm to the Lesser Cloud Realm.
• Luo Hong negotiated for the Alliance to give thirty percent of the realm’s resources to itself, devote ten percent to the Human Race he had brought back, and rescue Snow Soul Fairy from the Heavenly Cauldron Palace.
• Luo Hong asked Bi Ying and the other invited Mahayana Cultivators to help operate his formation against an unnamed enemy; Bi Ying, Wen Xinfeng, and Lei Yuan agreed.
• Luo Hong told the group to reach Qiyun Mountain Range within a year and wait for up to three years, then departed to find a place for the Human Race to settle.

A year later in the Blood Sky Continent, Luo Hong confronted Six-winged Frost Centipede after the centipede pursued fleeing cultivators into a prepared ambush. Luo Hong subdued him and ordered his magic power sealed, while Ice Phoenix remained captive and the group’s other business was still pending.

• Three Void Refinement Cultivators discovered through the Blood Sky Instrument that their companions had vanished, so they fled toward Qiyun Mountain Range’s Forbidden Land with the Man in Green Shirt pursuing them.
• The Man in Green Shirt captured Ice Phoenix and tried to persuade her to Dual Cultivate with him, but she refused and warned him against his recklessness.
• Four powerful divine senses surrounded the pursuers, and Luo Hong appeared; Ice Phoenix explained that she had been captured after traveling the Spirit World following her breakthrough to Body Integration.
• Six-winged Frost Centipede accused Luo Hong of setting an ambush and transformed into a white dragon after Luo Hong’s Yellow Springs Ghost Hand refined his Su Yin Cold Wind.
• Luo Hong blocked Six-winged’s charge with a giant fist, summoned Little White to bind him, and ordered his magic power sealed.

Luo Hong’s trap activated the Ancient Altar and brought Ma Liang, a Late True Immortal, into the Spirit World. After striking Ma Liang, Luo Hong warned the other cultivators that Ma Liang meant to use a Blood Path treasure to endanger the realm, leaving Ma Liang demanding an explanation from afar.

• Six-winged escaped Luo Hong’s restraints with a costly technique, then used crystalline wings to reach Ice Phoenix, but the Ancient Altar’s activation disrupted his escape.
• Luo Hong teleported Ice Phoenix away and activated the Myriad Bone Blood Spirit Great Formation with help from Bi Ying, Wen Xinfeng, Lei Yuan, and Blood Fiend.
• The Ancient Altar summoned Ma Liang, who identified himself as a Late True Immortal and questioned Luo Hong about his foreknowledge.
• Luo Hong asked Ma Liang about his cultivation and body-refinement arts, then punched him with a fist wrapped in purple lightning.
• Luo Hong told the four cultivators to maintain the formation and warned them that Ma Liang had descended to refine a Blood Path Supreme Treasure that threatened the Spirit World.
• Ma Liang appeared behind a cracked crystalline wall and demanded to know what Luo Hong meant.

Luo Hong used the Spirit World's suppression of Ma Liang and his prepared formation to hold off the True Immortal, then unleashed the Mother of Parasitic Insects to devour Ma Liang's Myriad Spirit Blood Seal. With the blood river bound by the strengthened formation, Luo Hong called on Bi Ying and the others to strike before Ma Liang could reclaim it.

• Luo Hong revealed his strength and attacked Ma Liang with the Sky Breaking Spear, but Ma Liang survived using the Myriad Spirit Blood Seal.
• Ma Liang summoned a blood river and repeatedly sent eight Five-clawed Blood Dragons and four Blood Armored Giants at Luo Hong, who destroyed them with a Heavenly Punishment Divine Arrow.
• Blood Fiend warned that Ma Liang could exhaust Luo Hong by continually regenerating his blood constructs, while Bi Ying reported that reinforcements would take ten days to arrive.
• Luo Hong called on the Mother of Parasitic Insects, whose Golden Beetles devoured Ma Liang's blood constructs and redirected his blood-needle attack with Time Law.
• The Mother of Parasitic Insects began consuming the blood river, and Luo Hong strengthened his formation with a Five-colored Light Pillar to bind it with blood-colored chains.
• Luo Hong urged Bi Ying and the other three to attack as Ma Liang struggled to pull the blood river back into the Myriad Spirit Blood Seal.

Luo Hong and his allies kept Ma Liang from reclaiming the Myriad Spirit Blood Seal, while Luo Hong defeated the Fire-Bearded Beast and Ma Liang’s newly summoned helper. Ma Liang’s attempt to activate the Sky Stealing Bottle failed, and the chapter left him confronting Luo Hong with another demand to surrender.

• Luo Hong watched the Gold Devouring Insects and the Myriad Bone Blood Spirit Great Formation suppress Ma Liang’s Blood River, and he held back his Yellow Springs Ghost Hand.
• Ma Liang released a crimson little man to attack Luo Hong and began activating the Sky Stealing Bottle to counter the Mother of Parasitic Insects’ time-protection ability.
• Luo Hong used the Heavenly Wolf Divine Fire to devour the Fire-Bearded Beast’s flames, then struck the beast down and interrupted Ma Liang’s activation of the bottle.
• Ma Liang summoned Mo Guang to fight Luo Hong, but Luo Hong’s spiritual sense attack made Mo Guang collapse alongside the Fire-Bearded Beast.
• Ma Liang demanded that Luo Hong kneel and accept a restriction, while Luo Hong stalled for time despite feeling dizzy from the spiritual sense attack.
