Houtu, Di Jiang, Xuanming, Kong Xuan, Zhu Rong, and Tongtian learned that Cangyuan had attained the Dao, while Taiqing Laozi and his allies struggled to salvage their plan against Tongtian. When the four Saints cut off the Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation from the Prehistoric World's baleful energy, Cangyuan countered with his Sea of Blood Formation, which supplied the formation with a new source.

Cangyuan used Styx’s Sea of Blood Formation to replenish the Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation, prompting Zhunti and Jieyin to surrender and Taiqing Laozi to concede defeat. As the Saints prepared to resolve the Canonization of Gods, Dao Ancestor Hongjun appeared and began reprimanding them.

• Xiao Bai activated the Forty-Eight Three-Pin Innate Lotus Formation to protect and heal them as Hongjun identified the Chaos Bell.

Bai Ze warned the Demon Saints not to covet Cangyuan’s Chaos Bell, while Zhu Rong sensed that the figure claiming to be Hongjun was not truly Hongjun. As Heavenly Dao Hongjun moved to crush Cangyuan, Cangyuan summoned five allies to form an array, and the chapter ended with five deadly bolts of Purple Firmament Divine Thunder descending on them.

• Bai Ze rebuked Ci Tie for suggesting that the demon clan reclaim the Chaos Bell and warned the others that Cangyuan was now a Saint.

Cangyuan completed the Boundless Heaven Sealing Array, isolating Heavenly Dao Hongjun from the Primordial World and weakening his power, then publicly charged him with five crimes. As Hongjun attacked in fury, Cangyuan called on Earth Path and Humanity Path to act.

• Cangyuan and the five array formers completed the Boundless Heaven Sealing Array, which trapped Heavenly Dao Hongjun and severed his connection to the Primordial World.
• Cangyuan proclaimed five crimes of the Heavenly Dao, accusing it of manipulating calamities, suppressing races, acting selfishly, seizing Earth and Humanity Path authority, and erasing Great God Pangu's legacy.

• The Sea God led ten million deities from seven great Divine Domains and their allies into Chaos to search for the source of the aura.
• Shichen awoke in the Main Vein of the River of Time and recognized Zhiming, who proposed they invade the Prehistoric World and seize Pangu’s Dao Fruit.
• Shichen warned Zhiming that entering the Prehistoric World could draw Pangu out, so they agreed to remain hidden in their respective rivers.
• Zhiming departed, and Shichen returned to slumber to repair his Dao Injury as the Three Dao Wills continued battling beyond the Heavens.

As Humanity Path Will and Earth Path Will battled Will of the Heavenly Dao, Hongjun sealed his cultivation and revealed the Heavenly Dao’s plans for the Calamity. He also explained that Taiqing Laozi had instinctively stolen part of his brothers’ origins because the Three Pure Ones’ Primordial Spirits were incomplete.

• Taiqing Laozi admitted he had been wrong, and Tongtian and Primordial Lord of Heaven agreed to forgive him if he supported their attack on Heaven and Cangyuan.

• Cangyuan revealed his Great Dao Merit and fused it with the Taiji Diagram, Pangu Banner, and Chaos Bell, restoring the World Creation Divine Axe.
• Cangyuan used the Heavenly Giant Technique to expand his physical body until it towered between heaven and earth, then grabbed the Divine Axe.
• Cangyuan bound the Divine Axe to his arm with laws of the Heavenly Dao, Earth Path, and Humanity Path, knowing the chains would only hold it temporarily.
• Cangyuan called on everyone to pour the power of the Great Array of Zhou Tian Stars and the Myriad Immortals Formation into his Dao Body so he could wield the axe.
• Hongjun, Wangshu, Houtu, and Nuwa warned Cangyuan that the borrowed power could destroy his Dao Body and urged him to negotiate with the Heavenly Dao.
• Cangyuan rejected their advice and declared that they would kill the selfish Heavenly Dao and establish a new Heaven.

• Cangyuan refused their help, vowed to bear the karma himself, and raised the axe to strike the Heavenly Dao again.

Cangyuan’s World Creation Divine Axe shattered the Jade Disc of Creation and left the Will of the Heavenly Dao on the verge of defeat, but time froze just as he prepared to strike again.
