Purple Harmony Palace was besieged by the Seven Fiends Alliance’s gray-fog creatures, and Yu Qin received word that reinforcements and Ku Chan were on their way. Meanwhile, Yu Hen brought Zhengrou to visit Quan He in the underground convalescent hospital, where Quan He examined Zhengrou after hearing about his Spirit Light Secret Art.

• A Purple Harmony Palace emergency drone reached the Ancestral Home, and Left Celestial Master ordered experts to assemble for a rescue while Ku Chan hurried back from Lijiasuo.

• Yu Hen brought Zhengrou to visit Quan He and explained that Zhengrou had mastered the Spirit Light Secret Art, prompting Quan He to gather mental power around him for examination.

Yu Hong used the Spirit Light Secret Art to begin restoring Quan He, who agreed to join his fight against celestial disasters and evil. After leaving to seek other seniors, Yu Hong and Yu Hen’s plans were interrupted by news that Purple Harmony Palace had been engulfed by a dangerous Spirit Domain.

• Ku Chan rode toward Purple Harmony Palace and learned that Gui Ling’s transferred calamity channels had turned the area into a Yin Qi Spirit Domain in its second stage.

Ku Chan was ambushed by Xian Kongzi while a massive gate opened over the sea and sent an army toward Yasong. Meanwhile, Yu Hong recruited the injured former Nine Gates master Zhang Yao Chen into the Spirit Light Mutual Aid Alliance and began treating his leg.

• Ku Chan escaped a motorcycle attack, entered the forest, and confronted Xian Kongzi, who had learned his route from someone in Ku Chan’s party.
• A giant black gate opened over the high seas, and a featureless Daoist emerged with hundreds of Dragon-Headed Golden Armored People and millions of lights heading toward Yasong.
• Yu Hen brought Yu Hong to visit Brother Chen at Ningxiang Courtyard and offered to treat his injuries with Yu Hong’s secret art.

• Brother Chen agreed to trust Yu Hong, and Yu Hong used spirit light to dissolve the evil power in Brother Chen’s leg.
• Yu Hen revealed that Brother Chen was Zhang Yao Chen, the former master of Do Not Ask Palace, who had once defeated one of the Seven Fiends.

Yu Hong and Yu Hen expanded the Mutual Aid Alliance by recruiting former Xuanmen masters and demonstrating Spirit Light’s defensive power at a public assembly. The assembly was interrupted by news that Purple Harmony Palace had been destroyed and calamities were spreading across Yasong, leaving Yu Hong and the Alliance facing an urgent need to prepare.

• Yu Hong and Yu Hen visited Qian'an Sanatorium, where three former sect leaders and five other experts accepted Spirit Light fusion while four others refused.

• Yu Mo reported that Gui Ling had unleashed four calamity exits and that thirteen Gates of Myriad Spirits had opened across Yasong, while some sealed areas had been breached.
• Yu Hong and Yu Mo concluded that the Alliance had to prepare quickly because the Seven Fiends Alliance might target the seals near Taizhou.

Yu Hong strengthened the Spirit Light of the Mutual Aid Alliance and set out to inspect the disaster engulfing Purple Harmony Palace. At the ruined palace, Ku Chan found his parents dead but realized Ying Er had escaped using the Purple Cloud Substitute Technique.

• Yu Hong disclosed the Spirit Light Secret Art’s binding side effect, fused the alliance members’ Spirit Light, and left Taizhou to investigate Purple Harmony Palace.

• Ku Chan found Daoist Yu Qin and his mother dead in Ox Horn Dao Palace, then recognized Ying Er’s corpse as a Purple Cloud Substitute Technique decoy.

Yu Hong infiltrated the Purple Harmony Palace disaster zone to test his strength and the limits of his spiritual creatures. After Agris struggled against a powerful Dragon-Headed People warrior, Yu Hong killed it with a single strike, revealing the force of his inner power.

• Ku Chan discovered traces showing that Ying Er was still alive and followed them in search of her.
• Yu Hong sent dragon lizards into the gray clouds around Purple Harmony Palace, then secretly entered the disaster zone with Agris.

• Yu Hong covered his hand blade with one-tenth inner force and cut the Dragon-Headed People in half with a single strike.

Yu Hong entered the spirit domain surrounding the Purple Harmony Palace, studied its monsters, and fought through the organized Snake-Headed and Dragon-Headed forces. He reached the ruined palace, where the devastation made his hope of rescuing the Crimson Cloud Sword seem futile.

• Yu Hong lost contact with the lizard-dragon and Agris in the woodland spirit domain and observed the Backpack People and fleshy lumps, measuring one lump's spiritual fluctuation at 1234.138.
• Yu Hong found Silver Armor Snake-Headed People and Golden Armor Dragon-Headed People patrolling the Purple Harmony Palace and attacked the Snake-Headed People with inner-force-enhanced strikes.
• Yu Hong fought the Dragon-Headed People, discovered their attacks caused dizziness and slowed him, and increased his inner-force output to twenty percent to destroy them.
• Yu Hong cleared the palace entrance and entered the Purple Harmony Palace, seeing extensive destruction and realizing his hope of rescuing the Crimson Cloud Sword had been unrealistic.

Yu Hong reached the inner ruins of Purple Harmony Palace and was ambushed by a powerful Three-Eyed Dragon Person who accused him of stealing a Star Stone. After discovering and countering its spirit-realm rules, Yu Hong defeated it, leaving the ruins covered in gray mist.

• Yu Hong inferred the creature’s rules, amplified his strength, and countered its attacks with repeated strikes.
• Yu Hong overwhelmed the Three-Eyed Dragon Person, which exploded into gray mist after a painful roar.

Yu Hong discovered that Purple Harmony Palace had fallen and that a terrifying Colored Mirror Daoist was devouring souls, so he escaped and tried to alert the authorities. As Ku Chan fled toward Cloud Number Mountain with the dying Ying Er, she revealed that she was carrying his child.

• Yu Hong sensed the Colored Mirror Daoist's immense pressure and watched it summon countless Three-Eyed Dragon Person monsters while gathering souls from the surrounding area.
• Yu Hong fled Purple Harmony Palace, called Yu Hen, and urged him to warn the Dao Lineage and the Seven Fiends Alliance about the Spirit Calamity.
• Yu Hen sent Yu Hong direct numbers for two Dao Lineage Celestial Masters and arranged for the encirclement around Purple Harmony Palace to withdraw.

• Ku Chan rode toward Cloud Number Mountain with the badly wounded, unconscious Ying Er, who briefly awoke and told him she was carrying his child.

Ku Chan watched the Golden Eagle Masked Man murder Ying Er and steal the Crimson Sky Sword, then awakened to a new path as a Celestial Master beneath the river. As disaster outbreaks spread across Yason, Celestial Masters Xu Chong and Zuo Yunfeng confronted Long Qingzi at Fushou Mountain.

• The Golden Eagle Masked Man struck Ku Chan, killed Ying Er, took the Crimson Sky Sword, and left them both to fall into the canyon.
• Ku Chan's implanted life-saving spell healed his heart as he caught Ying Er's body and broke through to become a Celestial Master.
• Yu Hong failed to reach several leaders by phone, sent them reports about the spirit disaster, and returned to Taizhou without investigating a brief fluctuation near the cliff.
• The destruction of Purple Harmony Palace and outbreaks at more than thirty sites prompted Yason's government and the Nine Lineages to mobilize against the Seven Fiends Alliance.
• At Fushou Mountain, Xu Chong confronted Long Qingzi, and Zuo Yunfeng arrived to join the battle.

Zuo Yunfeng betrayed Xu Chong as the Spirit Calamity spread, while Yu Hong and his allies assessed the threat approaching Taizhou and withdrew behind a hastily built defensive wall. The chapter left Taizhou largely evacuated and the Silver Armor Snake-Headed People advancing toward the city.

• Zuo Yunfeng stabbed Xu Chong through the lung, and Long Qingzi’s reaction made Xu Chong realize the betrayal was part of a larger scheme.
• Yu Hong learned that the two Yin Qi Sky Pillars near Taizhou had erupted, the coastal defenses had gone silent, and Spirit Calamity monsters were attacking fishermen.

• Yu Hong’s group returned to the Pure Dust Temple’s fortified perimeter as residents fled Taizhou and officials directed people toward provincial-capital defenses.

Yu Hong returned to the Spirit Control Station and learned that vast monster forces had gathered nearby while the outside world descended into chaos. As a tide of living dead advanced on the northern Black Wall, he sent the Mutual Aid Alliance sorcerers to test their defenses.

• Yu Hong and his companions went to the northern defenses, where Chen Ning described the living dead's strength and resilience.
• Yu Hong told the Mutual Aid Alliance sorcerers to test the advancing horde, and a group of black-clad sorcerers leaped from the Black Wall.

Yu Hong inspected the Spirit Light Mutual Aid Alliance’s defenses against spirit-disaster monsters and saw spellcasters, enchanted cannons, and flying swords hold the Black Wall, though the Dragon-Headed People proved able to turn intangible. Unwilling to wait for the authorities to spread the Spirit Light Secret Art, he ordered Qing Huang to lead him to the Seven Fiends Alliance headquarters, where he planned to raid its warehouses while it fought the Dao Lineage.

• Yu Hong and Liu Shanhe watched first-level spellcasters use Spirit Light to fight walking corpses and Snake-Headed People along the Black Wall.

• Yu Hong attacked a Yason Country ship with Dragon Lizards and summoned Word Speakers, ordering them to kill everyone aboard.

• Yu Hong killed the Silver Masked Lion in seconds, then forced the five remaining masked sorcerers to surrender and bound them with Spirit Light.

• At Fushou Mountain, Xu Chong watched Zuo Yunfeng battle Long Qingzi as Zuo Yunfeng recited an incantation and sent golden light into the sky.
• The sky turned to night, and the remaining Heaven Stabilizing Plates across the nine gates of the Dao Lineage cracked and exploded simultaneously.

After the Heaven Stabilizing Plates shattered, Zuo Yunfeng continued his fight with Long Qingzi as the spirit calamity and Black Calamity surged beyond their control. Yu Hong and the others witnessed a woman’s return to her peak, while Zuo Yunfeng’s attack on the emerging Colored Mirror Daoist was swallowed by a golden army.

• Zuo Yunfeng summoned the Pool of Myriad Spirits and fought Long Qingzi, who used Cave Heaven Jade to burn away the attacking insects.

At Qian'an Sanatorium, Quan He True Monarch emerged rejuvenated and demonstrated her power to Yu Hong and the others as two allies approached.

• Quan He True Monarch transported Yu Hong, Qing Huang, and Zhao Jingtan to the courtyard as two powerful auras approached, then apologized for moving them while altering their perceptions.

Yu Hong learned how spellcasters’ defensive arts and spirit domains determined their ability to withstand modern weapons, then returned to Taizhou to check on a restorative potion that had undergone seventy-two days of enhancement. The chapter ended with him reaching a ruined, heavily fortified city and preparing to see the results.

• Quan He reunited with Yao Chen, Golden Light, and Lian Yun, and Yu Hong recognized their group as a new top-tier fighting force for the Spirit Light Mutual Aid Alliance.
