• Ma Liang threatened Luo Hong and revealed a golden talisman that let him absorb the Spirit World's Law Chains and recover his Late True Immortal cultivation.

Luo Hong arrived amid a battle between the Sea King and Kun King Races, where the Luotian Boat’s aura prompted Red Coral King and Fury Tide King to attack him. After defeating them and killing Red Coral King, Luo Hong learned he was near the races’ border and asked Fury Tide King to lead him to a Teleportation Array for the southeastern coast of the Thunderclap Continent.

After learning that the True Immortal had reached Thunderclap Continent, Lei Yuan rushed to alert the High Priestess. Meanwhile, the True Immortal began massacring settlements to gather bloodline power, leaving a ruined city behind and heading toward his next target.

• Bi Ying told Lei Yuan that the True Immortal had reached Thunderclap Continent and that Luo Hong had pursued him through the closing space passage.
• Lei Yuan hurried out to seek the High Priestess after hearing the warning.

• The True Immortal gathered the blood into a seal, complained that the creatures’ bloodline power was insufficient, and flew toward another populated place.

Luo Hong pursued Ma Liang across Thunderclap Continent and reached the Huarong Clan, where he learned that Ma Liang’s blood sacrifices had devastated nearby clans. After using the clan’s Teleportation Array to head for the Thirteen Clans of Sky Cloud, Luo Hong left the Huarong Clan preparing to exploit the crisis, while the Jiao Chi Race’s High Priestess received Lei Yuan.

• Luo Hong arrived at the Exotic Wood Coast and flew with Six-winged toward the Huarong Clan to use its Teleportation Array.

Meanwhile, Luo Hong reached Cloud City to seek Old Madam Sha, but Sky Cloud’s leaders delayed him as Ma Liang began slaughtering the Stone Cocoon Clan.

• The High Priestess warned Lei Yuan that Luo Hong was a greater future threat than Ma Liang and ordered him to spread the calamity news selectively rather than exploit it to cripple rival clans.
• Luo Hong arrived in Cloud City, where Cai Liu Ying recognized him and Duan Tianmang accused him of killing his brother, Duan Tianren.

• Luo Hong warned the gathering that the Sky Cloud clans faced imminent extermination.
• Shi Xingwu confronted Luo Hong about Duan Tianren's death, and Luo Hong admitted killing him after Duan Tianren had tried to intercept him for a Void Spirit Pill.

After the Stone Cocoon Clan suffered devastating losses, the Jiao Chi High Priestess summoned a gray-robed man to deal with the person who had defeated Ma Liang.

• Old Madam Sha stopped Shi Xingwu from attacking Luo Hong, who explained that Ma Liang was a wounded true immortal and that he had pursued him to the Thunderclap Continent.
• Luo Hong warned that Ma Liang had entered Stone Cocoon Clan and Yin Demon Race territory to conduct blood sacrifices, and Shi Xingwu’s soul jade shattered, signaling his Junior Brother’s death.
• Shi Xingwu attacked Luo Hong, but Old Madam Sha blocked Luo Hong’s Yellow Springs Finger; Luo Hong then explained that the Stone Cocoon Clan had been Ma Liang’s first target because of a nearby cross-continent Teleportation Array.
• Old Madam Sha ordered Shi Xingwu to check his clan’s territories, and he returned to report that more than half its towns had gone silent and the Stone Cocoon Clan was nearly destroyed.

• In the Jiao Chi Holy City, the High Priestess summoned a gray-robed man who eagerly welcomed the chance to fight Ma Liang, then learned that she wanted him to face Luo Hong instead.

• Over three years, Ma Liang slaughtered Jiao Chi people and several Mahayana Cultivators as the Jiao Chi Race failed to make a major move.
• Silver Fairy warned Luo Hong that the Jiao Chi Race's lack of response was suspicious, and Luo Hong suspected it planned to eliminate both him and Ma Liang.
• Months later, a giant formation disrupted both men's escape lights and sealed off much of a mountain range, as figures teleported in to surround them.

Luo Hong watched the Jiao Chi Race ambush Ma Liang while pretending to stay neutral, as the elders unleashed the Shattering Yuan Bells and forced Ma Liang to unseal his power. The battle left Ma Liang injured and bound by golden runes, while the Mother of Parasitic Insects seized his Dark Green Small Bottle and brought it to Luo Hong.

• Lei Yuan claimed the Jiao Chi Race had trapped Ma Liang to protect the Thunderclap Continent, and Luo Hong agreed to stay out of the battle.

• The Mother of Parasitic Insects snatched the Dark Green Small Bottle from the Myriad Spirit Blood Seal and warned Luo Hong not to claim it.

Luo Hong turned the Jiao Chi Race’s ambush against them, using a hidden Time Incarnation to devour Ma Liang and most of the surrounding Mahayana Cultivators. He left the Silver Horn Elder and the few survivors facing the Black Light Ball’s devastating power, while the Mother of Parasitic Insects realized Luo Hong had deceived her too.

• Luo Hong emerged unharmed from Six-winged’s mouth, reached Ma Liang, and used his Devouring Power to absorb him.
• A Black Light Ball appeared and swallowed most of the Jiao Chi Mahayana Cultivators, and the Mother of Parasitic Insects realized the Luo Hong she had helped was a Time Incarnation.
• Luo Hong turned the Black Light Ball’s power on the Silver Horn Elder and the remaining Jiao Chi Cultivators.

Luo Hong survived Xuan Jiuling’s surprise attack because the Nine Tribulation True Flame was drawn to the Little Black Ball in his dantian. Xuan Jiuling’s ambush failed, while Yang Lu and Tai Que remained trapped and Lei Yuan’s formation attack was being consumed inside Luo Hong’s Netherworld Grotto-heaven.

• Luo Hong focused on Yang Lu and Tai Que, who were being pulled toward the Little Black Ball while their Law Chains suppressed their abilities.
• Lei Yuan sacrificed the Formation Plate to unleash the grand formation’s Black Light Curtain as a giant serpent at Luo Hong.
• Luo Hong opened the Gates of Hell and sent the serpent into the Netherworld Grotto-heaven, where Little White, Xue’er, and the Ghost King’s forces swarmed it.
• Xuan Jiuling emerged from a pink shell and pierced Luo Hong’s dantian with his arm, releasing the Nine Tribulation True Flame.
• Xuan Jiuling retreated and assumed Luo Hong was dead, but Luo Hong revealed that the flames had gathered around the Little Black Ball and had not harmed him.

Luo Hong defeated Ma Liang and the ancient True Spirits, then traveled to Jiao Chi Holy City to obtain Hoof Dragon’s True Spirit Origin for Six-winged. After returning to the Guanghan Realm, he refined Ma Liang’s remains into Immortal Yuan Stones and Soul Nurturing Pills.

• Luo Hong survived Xuan Jiuling’s Nine Tribulation True Flame and used his Spatial Domain to stop Tai Que and Yang Lu, while the Mother of Parasitic Insects swallowed one of them.

• Luo Hong took Six-winged and the Mother of Parasitic Insects to Jiao Chi Holy City, where they found the city abandoned and its spiritual items removed.
• Luo Hong seized the sleeping Hoof Dragon from its underground palace, killed it, and gave its True Spirit Origin to Six-winged to aid his transformation into a dragon.
• The Jiao Chi Race’s High Priestess ordered her people back to the Holy City and spread a false account of Luo Hong’s injuries as he departed through the teleportation array.
• Luo Hong returned to his Guanghan Realm cave abode and refined Ma Liang’s physical remains into 168 Immortal Yuan Stones, then turned his primordial spirit’s Primordial Qi into Soul Nurturing Pills.

Luo Hong sorted Ma Liang’s treasures, stored the True Soul Pills for a safer time, and restored several damaged artifacts while planning to strengthen his forces. After defeating eight Mahayana visitors who tried to force him to hand over a pill, he revealed the Sky Stealing Bottle to Han Li, who recognized it as connected to his own treasure.

• Luo Hong stored the Myriad Spirit Blood Seal in the Blood Sea, set aside the Sky Stealing Bottle for Han Li, and sealed away six True Soul Pills after explaining their dangerous drawback.
• Luo Hong decided to turn the Slaying Yuan Immortal Sword fragments into Primordial Qi, collected the Shattering Yuan Bell fragments, and restored the bronze ancient mirror and lamp.
• Luo Hong studied the Nine Tribulations Spirit Annihilation Great Law while Six-winged began secluded cultivation in the Guanghan Realm.
• After news of Luo Hong’s victory spread, he used Old Demon Han to drive off visitors seeking Ma Liang’s relics, then refused Venerable Ming’s request for a True Soul Pill.
• Venerable Ming returned with seven other Mahayana Cultivators, and Luo Hong defeated all eight inside the Sky Stealing Bottle without killing them.
• Han Li showed Luo Hong the Sky Controlling Bottle and said the Sky Stealing Bottle might be fated with him.

Luo Hong revealed that Ma Liang came from the Nine Yuan Temple and had sought Han Li’s little bottle, whose origins might trace back to the Immortal World. Han Li accepted the danger and learned that the bottle’s former owner was a Dao Ancestor, but he hesitated to take the Sky Stealing Bottle and said he needed time to think.

• Luo Hong brought Han Li to his heavily restricted residence after the Sky Stealing Bottle reacted to Han Li’s bottle, and Han Li noticed Liao Kui imprisoned there.
• Luo Hong told Han Li that Ma Liang came from the Nine Yuan Temple and had received the Sky Stealing Bottle as a mission token, leading Han Li to fear that the temple was pursuing his treasure.
• Luo Hong explained that he, Baohua, and the Spirit King had killed a Skeleton True Immortal from the Nine Yuan Temple, possibly alerting the temple and prompting Ma Liang’s descent.
• Luo Hong conjectured that Han Li’s bottle had once belonged to the Nine Yuan Temple and had been taken from the Immortal World by the Skeleton True Immortal.
• Han Li resolved to face the danger, and Luo Hong revealed that the bottle’s former owner was a Dao Ancestor, five major realms above True Immortals.
• Han Li said he needed to think before taking the Sky Stealing Bottle.

Han Li left Luo Hong's cave abode after learning the Sky Stealing Bottle was too dangerous to keep, while Luo Hong trusted he would take it back. Luo Hong then explained how the Nine Tribulations Spirit Annihilation Great Law had advanced his study of higher laws, ending with his successful creation of a new law that confirmed his theories.

• Han Li left without drinking tea and hurried home to consider whether to keep the Sky Stealing Bottle.
• Luo Hong predicted Han Li would reclaim the bottle, then invited Mo Guang to join Han Li, who Mo Guang believed could ascend to the Immortal World.
• Luo Hong returned to his research instead of visiting his child and explained how the Nine Tribulations Spirit Annihilation Great Law revealed the concepts of higher and lower laws.
• Luo Hong explained to Silver Fairy that higher laws had one zero in their three-part structures and that observing their effects could reveal their components.
• Luo Hong combined his understanding of the Zhiyang Law and Ji Yin Law with Primordial Power to create a law he called the Yin Yang Law or Tai Chi Law.

After more than a century of research, Luo Hong traveled from the Spirit World to the Demon Realm through an unstable Spatial Node. He killed the Thousand-Eyed Flood Dragon in the Black Fog Sea and continued toward Flower God Mountain to meet Baohua.

• Luo Hong told Luzhu to conceal his departure and entered the Spatial Node leading to the Demon Realm.
• Three Void Refinement cultivators hunted a Blackwater Snake near Coiled Snake Island and debated whether to venture into the deep sea, where the Thousand-Eyed Flood Dragon ruled.
• The injured Thousand-Eyed Flood Dragon begged Luo Hong for mercy and revealed that it had angered Baohua by refusing to pay tribute.
• Luo Hong beheaded the Thousand-Eyed Flood Dragon, captured its miniature form and corpse, and learned that Flower God Mountain lay about thirty years away by ordinary flight.
• Luo Hong gave the three cultivators the Dragon Blood on the island and flew toward Flower God Mountain.
