After reaching the pinnacle of the Fusion Dao Realm, Zhou Ming and Houtu learned that Wu was about to prove his Martial Dao just as the Abyssal Sea Divine Hub had recovered. They joined Cang Xuan and the Eternal Dao Realm’s forces as they raced to the Ninth Chaos to protect Wu’s true spirit.

• Cang Xuan led dozens of Great Dao Realm experts toward the Ninth Chaos to stop the attackers while Zhen Yuanzi prepared to protect Wu’s true spirit.

In the Ninth Chaos, the newly born Demon Gods faced attacks from thirty thousand systems, while Wu declared that he would open the heavens and prove his Dao, drawing the systems into a hidden ambush.

• The systems confirmed that Wu had not been possessed and secretly converged on him, planning to attack after he created the world and exhausted his strength.

• More than twenty thousand System Light Orbs realized Wu had reached the Great Dao Realm without opening the heavens and panicked.
• Wu detected the systems hiding in a spatial interlayer and told them it was their turn.

Wu attacked the defensive restraining spell protecting more than twenty thousand System Light Orbs, while the systems tried to hold out until he left the Ninth Chaos or their lords intervened.

• The Abyssal Sea Divine Hub and Eternal Dao Realm experts were stunned when Wu emerged in the Great Dao Realm without any World Creation.
• Zhou Ming told Cang Xuan that Wu cultivated Martial Dao by refining his body and inner world rather than laws.
• The Abyssal Sea experts concluded that Wu had cultivated Martial Dao and connected it to the taboo figure known as “that one.”
• Blood Butcher silenced an expert who spoke about “that one” and ordered the group to wait for Wu to emerge.
• Jue Ying, Shi Gu, and Ming Luo asked Blood Butcher what they should do, and he remained silent when Ming Luo asked what would happen if Wu truly practiced Martial Dao.

• Wu absorbed the systems’ Origin energy and passed through the Ninth Chaos’s membrane into the Chaos Sea.

Wu emerged as a Great Dao Realm cultivator after opening the Martial Dao Path, then gave Blood Butcher the Dao Rhythm and told him the Chaos Sea’s will required the Abyssal Sea Divine Hub to leave.

Blood Butcher delivered the Ninth Chaos's Dao Rhythm to Jiemie, Kongxuan, Wuwang, and Xu Yuan, completing their collection of the Nine Great Chaos Dao Rhythms and bringing them closer to opening the Land of Opportunity. He then revealed that Wu had cultivated the Martial Dao and willingly surrendered the Dao Rhythm at the Chaos Sea's will, leaving Jiemie convinced Wu was connected to “That One.”

• Blood Butcher sent Shi Gu, Ming Luo, Jue Ying, and the other injured experts back to their Dao sites to recover, then brought the golden Dao Rhythm to the four lords.
• Jiemie, Kongxuan, Wuwang, and Xu Yuan celebrated that the Dao Rhythms of all nine Chaoses had been gathered and said they would open the Land of Opportunity after recovering.

• Blood Butcher told the four lords that Wu had voluntarily handed over the Dao Rhythm because the Chaos Sea's will wanted the outsiders to leave.
• Jiemie concluded that Wu could not have comprehended the Martial Dao alone and must be connected to “That One.”

Kongxuan persuaded the other Unity Realm powerhouses that Wu might not receive That One’s True Saint Dao Fruit because it could shackle his future Martial Dao. They decided to heal their injuries and then seek the Dao Fruit in the Inheritance Land.

• Blood Butcher worried that Wu, as That One’s inheritor, would claim everything in the Land of Opportunity, but Jiemie and Kongxuan said the Chaos Sea’s will had already put the matter beyond their control.
• Xu Yuan sent Blood Butcher to heal, while the four Unity Realm powerhouses remained in the secret chamber and lamented that their efforts might come to nothing.
• Kongxuan argued that That One would not give Wu the True Saint Dao Fruit because it could bind him to the failed path That One had followed.
• Jiemie, Wuwang, and Xu Yuan agreed that That One likely wanted Wu to forge a new path, while True Saint powerhouses could benefit from the Dao Fruit’s insights.
• The four decided their chances of obtaining the Dao Fruit remained good, then began healing so they could go to the Inheritance Land.

After the battle over the Dao Rhythm, Cang Xuan brought Zhou Ming and Wu to Pangu to report what the Abyssal Sea Divine Hub had revealed about the world beyond the Chaos Sea. Pangu, Taiyi, and Taichu examined Wu’s Martial Dao but could not determine why it frightened the Divine Hub, leaving its significance unresolved.

• Taichu and Taiyi questioned Wu about Martial Dao and asked him to demonstrate it.
• Wu displayed his blood and qi and inner world power, but Taiyi and Taichu could not see why the cultivation method alarmed the Abyssal Sea Divine Hub.

Pangu and the others agreed to prepare to escape the Chaos Sea when the Abyssal Sea Divine Hub made its move, while waiting for Taishi, Taisu, and Taiji to regain their strength. Zhou Ming brought Wu to his Law God Mountain, where both began healing and cultivating as the Eternal Dao Realm waited for the rival faction to recover.

• Pangu and the others concluded that the Abyssal Sea Divine Hub planned to leave the Chaos Sea and agreed to seize the chance to escape with them.
• Cang Xuan reported that Taishi, Taisu, and Taiji were progressing quickly and could prove their Dao again within a few hundred chaos years.

• Zhou Ming led Wu to his dark-gold Law God Mountain, where Wu stabilized the world inside his body and Zhou Ming repaired his damaged origin.

After recovering, Jiemie and the others fused the nine Dao Rhythms, causing the Nine Great Chaos to merge and the three thousand Law Secret Realms to converge on the Origin Realm of Ten Thousand Daos. Pangu gathered the Eternal Dao Realm’s experts and led them toward the disturbance, as both groups headed for the place where That One’s Inheritance Land was about to appear.

The Origin Realm of Ten Thousand Daos opened after all three thousand Law Secret Realms merged, and the Chaos Sea Will allowed every Great Dao Realm expert to enter. Jiemie led the Abyssal Sea Divine Hub inside first, and Pangu ordered the Eternal Dao Realm to follow close behind.

After the Outsiders went inside, the Chaos Sea’s will announced that those in the Unity Realm could freely leave the Chaos Sea, giving Pangu’s people new hope.

• Jiemie used the Dao Rhythm to guide the Abyssal Sea Divine Hub’s experts to an ancient palace in the Origin Realm of Ten Thousand Daos.

• Pangu, Taiyi, and Taichu confirmed the message, and the Eternal Dao Realm’s people celebrated their renewed hope of leaving.

As the Great Dao Realm experts scattered to cultivate, Wu realized the Laws in the Origin Realm of Ten Thousand Daos could not help him advance his Martial Dao. A mysterious, ancient voice then took Wu, Pangu, and Zhou Ming to an empty hall, where they faced an inscrutable stone statue.

• Pangu sent the experts to search for Law-rich regions in the Origin Realm of Ten Thousand Daos and cultivate toward the Unity Realm.
• Zhou Ming learned that Wu could not benefit from the realm’s Laws, and Wu joked that he might someday refine the Chaos Sea into his inner world.
