Lin Bai recovered for seven days before gathering with Changsun Yun, Wu Ming, Meng Li, and Shu Xiang on Secret Realm Island as a huge crowd prepared to enter the Divine Demon Realm. After Lan Wu warned the Southern Courtyard disciples about dangers from rival courtyards and the three-month deadline, the portal opened and the martial artists began entering.

Lin Bai entered the Divine Demon Realm and found himself separated from his companions in a bleak mountain range. After Eastern Courtyard martial artists drove the Southern Courtyard away, Lin Bai discovered a Spirit Immortal Root as he left the mountains.

• Lin Bai and the other martial artists entered the Divine Demon Realm, where he arrived in a gray, bone-strewn mountain range without Changsun Yun, Wu Ming, Meng Li, or Shu Xiang.
• Lin Bai spotted ten-thousand-year-old Sunrise Grass, but an Eastern Courtyard martial artist killed the Southern Courtyard disciple who had claimed it and seized the herb.
• Hundreds of Eastern Courtyard martial artists claimed the mountain range and forced the outnumbered Southern Courtyard martial artists, including Lin Bai, to leave.
• As Lin Bai neared the edge of the mountain range, he found a Spirit Immortal Root beneath a withered tree and cut off a section with his Demon Sword.

Lin Bai obtained a Spirit Immortal Root in the mountain range, killed an Eastern Courtyard martial artist who tried to take it, and secretly ventured deeper after realizing the Eastern Courtyard was clearing the area to search for a treasure. He discovered more than twenty Eastern Courtyard martial artists battling a powerful monster and spotted a shining ring on its finger.

• Lin Bai heard a tremendous boom and roar and found more than twenty great-perfection Life Extinction Realm martial artists besieging a monster.
• Lin Bai recognized the monster as a dead martial artist and noticed a gleaming golden ring on its right index finger.

Situ Yuntian and more than twenty Eastern Courtyard martial artists fought a devil corpse for its ring, suffering heavy losses before destroying it. A dying Southern Courtyard martial artist passed the ring to Lin Bai, who refused to surrender it when Situ Yuntian demanded it.

• Situ Yuntian and more than twenty Life Extinction Realm martial artists attacked the devil corpse, which killed many of them before Situ Yuntian destroyed it.

• Lin Bai cut through the Eastern Academy martial artists guarding the mountain range, killing three and forcing the rest back.

• Lin Bai recognized the city as the City of the Living Dead and entered it to escape Situ Yuntian, who had caught up behind him.

• A Northern Courtyard martial artist attacked Lin Bai to take his Storage Bag and treasures, but Lin Bai killed him with a sword strike.
• Lin Bai took both Storage Bags and resolved to explore the City of the Living Dead using the Wishful Ring.

After killing a Northern Courtyard warrior, Lin Bai found three Jade Slips that revealed the Devil Sect’s war against the God Sect and the fall of Sky Blue City. He deduced that the Heavenly Spirit Spring lay beneath the city’s central plaza, broke through the ground, and began descending toward it.

• Lin Bai searched the Northern Courtyard warrior’s Storage Bags and discovered three intact Jade Slips describing the Devil Sect’s rebellion, the Devil Corpse Curse, and the God Sect’s desperate defense of Sky Blue City.
• Lin Bai concluded that the Devil Sect sought Lord Yuanmo’s sealed grounds and that the Heavenly Spirit Spring had helped the God Sect resist before Sky Blue City fell.
• Lin Bai avoided Devil Corpses as he searched the city for the Heavenly Spirit Spring, witnessing a dozen-odd warriors get slaughtered by Devil Corpses.
• Lin Bai examined the central plaza’s faded formation runes and decided the Heavenly Spirit Spring was buried beneath it.
• Lin Bai repeatedly struck the plaza with his Demon Sword, opened a deep hole, and descended after hearing a collapse below.

• Lin Bai fought them off, then used the Wishful Ring to escape with the Azure Gourd.
• Situ Yuntian vowed to kill Lin Bai after losing both the Wishful Ring and the Heavenly Spirit Spring.

After entering the canyon, Lin Bai reached its bottom and discovered a poisonous Dead River that dissolved anything falling into it.

• Lin Bai interrogated a warrior and learned that Zhu Jingyi had taken Changsun Yun, Meng Li, and Wu Ming to scout the Myriad Extinction Grotto-Heaven.
• Lin Bai and Shu Xiang followed the warrior to the canyon, where tens of thousands of warriors had gathered and Zhu Jingyi, Wang Qing, Mo Baihe, and Zhang Qian were believed to have entered.
• Lin Bai released the warrior and entered the canyon alone, while Shu Xiang followed him despite his orders to wait outside.
• Lin Bai descended through the mist-filled canyon and heard screams from below before reaching its bottom.
• Lin Bai found a Dead River whose water dissolved a stone and watched it corrode a warrior to bones.

• Lin Bai attacked Zhu Jingyi outside the grotto and demanded to know where Meng Li, Changsun Yun, and Wu Ming were, but Wang Qing intervened and urged him to set aside the feud.
• Mo Baihe and Zhang Qian entered the Myriad Extinction Grotto-Heaven, followed by martial artists from the Eastern and Northern Courtyards.
• Lin Bai ignored Wang Qing and chased Zhu Jingyi into the grotto, where he learned he could move only by controlling the white bones floating on the Dead River.
• Lin Bai spotted a Netherworld Lotus growing in the dark-green liquid, realized the river might be corpse oil, and approached the lotus to pick it.
• A ninth-level Life Extinction Realm martial artist rushed toward Lin Bai and struck at him, claiming the Netherworld Lotus for himself.

Lin Bai survived an Eastern Court martial artist’s attack, killed him, and absorbed the Netherworld Lotus to strengthen his cultivation. He then reunited with Wu Ming, who revealed that the Myriad Extinction Grotto-Heaven contained a legacy connected to Lord Origin Ancestor.

• An Eastern Court martial artist knocked Lin Bai toward the deadly water, but Lin Bai used the Wishful Ring to teleport back onto the white bones.
• Lin Bai fought the martial artist with the Reaching Heaven Sword Art and Dragon-Seeking, sending him into the water to die, then took his Storage Bag.

• Wu Ming explained that he, Changsun Yun, and Meng Li had received Gods Sect disciple marks and that four legacy halls awaited their holders.

• Lin Bai and Wu Ming arrived as Changsun Yun and Meng Li were surrounded, and Wu Ming led the injured pair away while Lin Bai held off the attackers.
• Lin Bai killed more than a hundred warriors with Dragon Seeker, collected their Storage Bags, and left; a surviving warrior escaped and went to notify Mo Baihe.

• The Myriad Extinction Grotto-Heaven trembled, and four pillars of light appeared as the hidden divine palace rose from beneath the Dead Sea.
• Lin Bai urged the group to reach the palace before other warriors reacted, and they flew toward the pillars of light.

Lin Bai and his companions reached the four White Bone Dao Palaces, where martial artists had gathered but could not break through the protective formations. The crowd suspected that Inheritance Imprints were the keys to entering, and as hostile forces waited for the imprint holders, Lin Bai decided they would force their way in.

• Four White Bone Dao Palaces rose from the Dead Sea, but their defensive formations stopped the martial artists from entering.
• Mo Baihe, Wang Qing, and Zhang Qian each tried and failed to break through the formations.
• A martial artist suggested that Inheritance Imprints obtained by Changsun Yun, Meng Li, and Wu Ming were needed to enter the palaces, and that killing an imprint holder could transfer the imprint.
• Zhu Jingyi regretted sending Changsun Yun, Meng Li, and Wu Ming into the Myriad Extinction Grotto-Heaven first, while Mo Baihe resolved to claim an imprint when they arrived.
• Lin Bai and Wu Ming reached the palaces with Meng Li, saw thousands of martial artists and the three Quasi-Holy Sons, and Lin Bai said they would force their way in.

Lin Bai drew the martial artists’ attention by confronting Zhu Jingyi and Wang Qing, hoping Wu Ming, Changsun Yun, and Meng Li could use the distraction to enter the White Bone Dao Palace. He exposed Wang Qing’s hypocrisy and let the crowd learn of his friendship with the three, leaving everyone focused on him.

• Lin Bai attacked Zhu Jingyi, but Wang Qing blocked his strike and refused to let him kill Zhu Jingyi.

• Wang Qing asked Lin Bai where the three were, and Lin Bai replied that Zhu Jingyi should know because he had sent them into the grotto-heaven.

Lin Bai drew the martial artists’ attention so Changsun Yun, Meng Li, and Wu Ming could reach the White Bone Dao Palace, but Zhang Qian discovered their plan and attacked them. Lin Bai used the Wishful Ring to reappear and stop Zhang Qian long enough for the three to enter the palace, leaving Zhang Qian furious and intent on killing him.
