Mo Hua watched Shentu Ao battle Young Master Xuan and Elder Bear Demon over Prince Ye’s remains, then recognized Young Master Xuan’s plan to cultivate the Mysterious Demon Fetus as connected to Xuan Sanren, the Demonic Cultivator who had once harmed his master. The chapter ended with Mo Hua’s hostility stirring a distant karmic thread that unsettled an elderly man in the Mysterious Demon Sect.

• Mo Hua noticed Prince Ye’s resemblance to Yu'er as Shentu Ao mourned his dead younger brother and refused Young Master Xuan’s demand for the prince’s remains.
• Young Master Xuan persuaded Elder Bear Demon to attack Shentu Ao by promising him a chance to seize the dragon patterns, and Second Master Hui and stone joined the fight under Dao Heart Planting Demon.

• Young Master Xuan revealed that he wanted Prince Ye’s body to cultivate the Mysterious Demon Fetus, prompting Mo Hua to recognize the connection to Xuan Sanren.
• Mo Hua realized Young Master Xuan was tied to the Demonic Cultivator who had once harmed his master, and an elderly man in the distant Mysterious Demon Sect felt a karmic thread stir.

Xuan Sanren sensed an ominous karma and took out the Dao Heart Planting Demon Great Method, while Young Master Xuan tried to seize Shentu Ao’s Great Wilderness inheritance and imperial bloodline. After coercing the gathered cultivators into attacking Shentu Ao, Young Master Xuan’s plans shifted when Azure Dragon Qi flowed from the Fourth Prince’s corpse into Shentu Ao.

• Azure Dragon Qi emerged from the Fourth Prince’s corpse in the Dragon Coffin and entered Shentu Ao, cleansing some of the Evil Qi as Elder Bear Demon watched greedily.

As Shentu Ao absorbed the Dragon Vein, Mo Hua realized it was completing Mr. Tu’s transformation of the Four Symbols Dragon Pattern into a true Azure Dragon, but the cultivators interrupted the process. Shen Shouxing then betrayed the others and admitted that the Shen Family had buried the Lone Mountain mine workers alive, leaving the survivors confronting his justification for the massacre.

• The Dragon Vein emerged from the Fourth Prince’s coffin, and Shentu Ao fought Elder Bear Demon, Shen Shouxing, and Xun Ziyou while Young Master Xuan demanded that Shen Shouxing seize it.

After Mo Hua awakened that consciousness by describing its other self, Lord Yellow Mountain offered to use the Evil God’s power to help him escape the Nightmare.

• Mo Hua’s techniques and weapons failed to stop the Evil Fetus, but his incomplete God-Slaying Sword wounded it.

• Lord Yellow Mountain briefly took control, recognized Mo Hua’s connection to his other self, and said he would use the Evil God’s power to help Mo Hua leave the Nightmare.

Mo Hua refused Lord Yellow Mountain’s offer to escape and joined forces with him to weaken the Evil Fetus. After seizing the Tree of Divine Authority and cutting off the Evil Fetus’s support, Mo Hua unleashed the Void God-Slaying Sword, leaving Xun Ziyou outside the temple stunned by the familiar sword art.

• Mo Hua refused to leave without saving Elder Xun and the others, then persuaded Lord Yellow Mountain to help weaken the Evil Fetus from within.
• Mo Hua attacked the Evil Fetus with his Divine Thought Sword while Lord Yellow Mountain fought for control of its body, opening the way for Mo Hua to strike.

• Mo Hua used the Authority to turn the Demons away, sever the Tree’s connection to Lone Mountain Temple, and cut off the Evil Fetus’s supply.
• Mo Hua bound Lord Yellow Mountain and the Evil Fetus with Array Techniques, then formed the Void God-Slaying Sword and struck the Evil Fetus until its body began to crack apart.
• Outside the temple, Xun Ziyou sensed the sword art and wondered in disbelief whether Mo Hua was wielding the lost Supreme Void Divine Sense Sword Transformation Art.

Mo Hua defeated the Evil Fetus by separating Lord Yellow Mountain from it, but Lord Yellow Mountain sacrificed himself to destroy them both and left Mo Hua a strand of precious Divine Marrow. After the Nightmare began collapsing, Mo Hua awoke in the Divine Temple to find Mr. Tu’s Flesh Puppet flaying Shentu Ao and demanding to know what happened to the God Lord’s Divine Fetus.

• Mo Hua used the God-Slaying Sword and the Heavenly Demon Severing Emotion Path to separate Lord Yellow Mountain from the Evil Fetus, but Lord Yellow Mountain began falling into evil again.
• Lord Yellow Mountain sent Mo Hua out of the hall, sealed himself in with the Evil Fetus, and used his Mountain Burial divine ability to annihilate them both.

• Mo Hua awoke in the Divine Temple as Mr. Tu’s Flesh Puppet flayed Shentu Ao, and Mr. Tu demanded to know where the God Lord’s Divine Fetus had gone.

Mo Hua escaped the shattered Nightmare with Xun Ziyou and the others, then searched the Divine Temple for Lord Yellow Mountain’s Life-Bound Divine Statue. He found a small, inconspicuous statue resembling the mountain lord, but Xun Ziyou could not see what Mo Hua was looking at.

• Mr. Tu deduced that a Void Gate Sword Cultivator might have destroyed the God Lord, then moved to kill the unconscious Xun Ziyou.
• Mo Hua accused Mr. Tu of killing Shen Qingsheng, provoking Shen Shouxing to attack and giving Mo Hua time to wake Xun Ziyou, Master Gu, and Fan Jin.

• Mo Hua recalled a hidden statue from Lord Yellow Mountain’s cave and found a small statue resembling him, but Xun Ziyou could not see it.

Mo Hua recovered Lord Yellow Mountain’s invisible Life-Bound Divine Statue and escaped Lone Mountain with Xun Ziyou, Master Gu, and Fan Jin, avoiding a dangerous confrontation with Mr. Tu. After Xun Zixian opened a path through the Shen Family’s blockade, the group joined the Void Gate and left as chaos erupted around the mine, while an ominous Karma still lingered over Lone Mountain.

• Mo Hua recognized the invisible statue as Lord Yellow Mountain’s Life-Bound Divine Statue, wrapped it in Black Cloth, and had Xun Ziyou carry it out of the Divine Temple.
• Mo Hua saw Mr. Tu kill Shen Shouxing, but a foreboding vision made him refuse to ask Xun Ziyou to fight Mr. Tu, so the group left the temple.
• Mr. Tu considered pursuing Mo Hua, then disguised himself as a Shen family elder as the Shen Family began burning the Mine Cultivators’ corpses to destroy evidence.
• Xun Ziyou, Mo Hua, Master Gu, and Fan Jin disguised themselves as Shen family cultivators, escaped the tomb, and found the Shen Family’s mine surrounded by rival forces.
• Xun Zixian broke the Shen Family’s array, triggering a rush into the mine; he reunited with Mo Hua and led the group away with the Void Gate elders.
• After Mo Hua left Lone Mountain, Shen Shouxing suddenly opened his pitch-black eyes inside the collapsing Divine Temple.

Shen Shouxing used Ghostly Path arts to send Shentu Ao and Young Master Xuan away, then burned himself and the Divine Temple to erase their causality, only to realize Mo Hua had escaped his calculations. Mo Hua returned safely to Void Gate, where Elder Xun and Xun Ziyou discussed the fallout, and he prepared to consume a strand of third-grade Divine Marrow to advance his Divine Consciousness.

• Shen Shouxing revived, inscribed a Black Dragon Ghostly Pattern on Shentu Ao, and sent him through a crack made with the art of Deceiving Heaven.
• Shen Shouxing awakened Young Master Xuan, ordered him to return to the Mysterious Demon Sect and study the Dao Heart Planting Demon Original Scripture, then burned the Divine Temple and himself to erase all causality.

• Mo Hua traveled back to Void Gate with Xun Ziyou and explained the Divine Sense Sword Transformation Art as the work of a Void Gate ancestor who had slain the corrupted Guhuang Mountain God.
• Elder Xun heard Xun Ziyou's account of the Shen Family, the Great Wilderness prince, and the Dragon Vein, and decided to let Mo Hua keep the Dragon Vein for now.
• Mo Hua hid Lord Yellow Mountain's Life-Bound Divine Statue and the Dragon Vein, then entered his Sea of Consciousness to consume the third-grade Divine Marrow and pursue a Twenty-Pattern breakthrough.

Mo Hua refined Third-Grade Divine Marrow and broke through to Twenty-Pattern Divine Consciousness Golden Core Formation, causing a vast golden phenomenon across Void Mountain. Elder Xun discovered the breakthrough, warned Mo Hua to keep it secret, and tried to conceal the event as other Void Insight Ancestors arrived to investigate.

• Mo Hua refined the Third-Grade Divine Marrow, completed the tempering of his divine sense, and broke through to Twenty-Pattern.
