• The Dao Discussion Heavenly Instrument began determining the final Earth-Grade matchup, but an unseen Poppy Flower appeared and a bloody, purple-black infant hand pressed down on it.

The Evil Fetus enlisted corrupted karmic powers to halt the Dao Discussion Heavenly Instrument, and an unnoticed wisp of qi from Sword Viewing Pavilion let it reverse the instrument’s causality. The instrument selected an Asura Battle for the final Earth-Grade Sword Discussion, and Mo Hua felt the long-awaited karmic connection as he thought of his master.

• Mo Hua stared at the Asura Battle ruling, felt a sudden surge of karma, and seemed to see his master smiling at him.

Mo Hua studied the Asura Battle and calculated how Void Gate might survive the many sects plotting against it. As the Three Mountains' leaders agreed to open their inheritances to him, the Ta'a Sect Master and Chongxu Sect Leader accepted that he would become the Crown Prince bearing all Three Branches' top inheritances.

Mo Hua received the Three Mountains’ unified Void Token and used its inheritances and the sect leaders’ support to prepare Void Gate for the Asura Battle. Seven days later, the Sword Discussion began amid widespread hostility toward Mo Hua, and Wenren Wan was left shaken by a vision of Yu’er’s death.

• The Void Gate Sect Master gave Mo Hua the first unified Void Token, granting him access to the Three Mountains’ inheritances and authority to direct Sword Discussion preparations.

• Ao Zheng and Shen Cangfeng established an agreement to prevent the allied sects from attacking one another until they had wiped out Void Gate and killed Mo Hua.
• The allied disciples destroyed Mo Hua’s concealed mountain wall and broke the arrays protecting Sky-Line Gorge while Mo Hua meditated inside to recover his Divine Consciousness.
• When the entrance defense collapsed, the first Daluo Sect disciple to enter was killed by five armored Void Gate disciples, who then chopped down attackers from Duanjin Gate, Lingxiao Sect, and Daluo Sect.

Mo Hua’s rapid array drawing let Void Gate hold off the Four Sects and Seven Gates until its array mediums ran out and enemies flooded the valley. As the attackers closed in, Mo Hua used Divine Thought Ink Manipulation to form arrays instantly and seal the valley entrance again.

• The Five Ta'a Brothers and Linghu Xiao repelled the first assault, giving Hao Xuan and the others time to restore the valley’s arrays.
• Ye Qingfeng proposed wearing Mo Hua down with repeated attacks, and the Four Sects and Seven Gates sent ordinary disciples forward as sacrificial vanguards.
• Mo Hua revealed that he could draw arrays at extraordinary speed, allowing Void Gate to withstand wave after wave of attacks while its array mediums lasted.

• Mo Hua opened his eyes, counted the intruders, and used Divine Thought Ink Manipulation to form arrays instantly, sealing the valley entrance and splitting the advancing forces.

Mo Hua trapped the Four Sects and Seven Gates prodigies with a massive earth-and-mountain array, then unleashed the Five Elements Source Array to empower Void Gate and turn the battle in their favor. As the enemy recovered from the first assault, Mo Hua began laying more arrays, prompting Shi Tiangang to rally the survivors to attack him.

• Mo Hua drew new arrays beneath Shi Tiangang and the other prodigies, trapping them as Linghu Xiao and the Five Ta'a Brothers attacked.
• Shi Tiangang, injured by their attacks, urged the surviving prodigies to charge Mo Hua before he could draw more arrays.

Mo Hua and the Void Gate disciples annihilated the Four Sects and Seven Gates prodigies trapped in the valley, then seized their supplies so Mo Hua could lay more arrays. Outside the valley, Shen Linshu sensed an ominous unease as Mo Hua resumed drawing arrays.

• Feng Zichen and the other prodigies repeatedly failed to reach Mo Hua, while their ranks were devastated by his arrays and the Void Gate defenders.
• Qin Cangliu had Ye Zhiyuan use his flying sword to interrupt Mo Hua, but Mo Hua countered with sword control and killed Ye Zhiyuan again.

• Mo Hua ordered his disciples to collect the fallen prodigies' Storage Bags, then used the recovered Spirit Ink and Spirit Stones to resume drawing arrays.
• Shen Linshu sensed a growing unease as Mo Hua continued filling the valley with arrays.

Mo Hua kept building arrays while the Four Prodigies of Ganxue and Ye Qingfeng led an assault that destroyed the mountain-sealing formation and overwhelmed the Void Gate. With his divine thought and Spirit Ink nearly exhausted, Mo Hua was cornered, but as his last companions sacrificed themselves to protect him, he ordered his arrays to explode.

• Shen Linshu, Xiao Wuchen, Ao Zhan, and Duanmu Qing agreed to attack Mo Hua, while Ye Qingfeng offered the Daluo Sect's support.
• Ao Zhan and the others shattered Mo Hua's mountain-sealing compound array, allowing more than a hundred prodigies to surround the Void Gate's remaining disciples.
• Ye Qingfeng led the attackers through Mo Hua's defensive arrays as the Void Gate fought back, and the four prodigies eventually joined the battle.
• The Void Gate's disciples fell one after another until only Mo Hua, Linghu Xiao, Ouyang Xuan, Ouyang Fu, and Ouyang Shou remained against more than fifty opponents.
• Shen Linshu threatened Mo Hua, who calmly declared that no one could kill him within his arrays.
• Linghu Xiao, Ouyang Shou, Ouyang Fu, and Ouyang Xuan tried to shield Mo Hua from the four prodigies' attacks, and Mo Hua said, "Explode!"

Mo Hua triggered a valley-wide Reverse Spirit Array that disintegrated the battlefield, survived by remaining at the Life Gate, and appeared to claim victory in the Earth-Grade Sword Discussion. The Four Prodigies of Ganxue and Ye Qingfeng also survived, and as they prepared to attack him, Mo Hua stood and declared that one sword would kill them all.

• Mo Hua activated the Half-Step Reverse Spirit Array, setting off his prepared arrays and causing widespread spirit power Reverse Transformation and Array Disintegration.

• Shen Linshu, Duanmu Qing, Xiao Wuchen, Ao Zhan, and Ye Qingfeng prepared to attack Mo Hua together.
• Mo Hua asked whether the five had been aboard the ship, then stood and declared that one sword would kill them all.

Mo Hua used the Void Gate's forbidden Divine Sense Sword Transformation Art to strike at Shen Linshu and the other four Ganxue Prodigies, shattering their Life-Bound Longevity Talismans and summoning five Void Insight Dharma Images. The Dao Discussion Mountain Array protected Mo Hua, then its ancient sword phantom destroyed the Dharma Images and restored calm.

• The five Dharma Images attacked Mo Hua, but the Dao Discussion Mountain Array shielded him and contained the devastating clash.
• The Dao Discussion Mountain Array summoned the phantom of an old man, who wielded the White Jade Ancient Sword to destroy all five Dharma Images.

After Mo Hua’s sword strike shattered five prodigies’ Longevity Talismans, Elder Xun defended him against the Void Insight Ancestors’ accusations by claiming he had learned a newly created, orthodox sword art. When the Array unsealed, the ancestors saw a filthy, purplish-black Divine Thought leaking from the fallen prodigies, while a Qiandao Sect elder cursed Mo Hua for ruining his plan.

• Mo Hua’s sword strike defeated Shen Linshu and four other prodigies, prompting the Void Insight Ancestors to accuse Void Gate of teaching him the forbidden Supreme Void Divine Sense Sword Transformation Art.

• The Dao Discussion Mountain Grand Array dissipated, revealing Mo Hua standing pale beside the five defeated prodigies, who remained alive under the protection of their Longevity Talismans.
• Purplish-black, blood-red Divine Thought seeped from the five prodigies and blossomed into poppy flowers, alarming the Void Insight Ancestors.
• A middle-aged elder on Qiandao Sect’s platform cursed Mo Hua for ruining his grand plan.

Elder Shen’s death activated a full-power teleportation array that sent Xuantian Peak and its assembled disciples to the border of Yanluo Mountain, while Shangguan Wang abducted Yu'er amid the upheaval. Elsewhere, Mr. Tu began the Wild Heaven Blood Sacrifice Array to bring forth the Lord of the Great Wilderness.

• Elder Shen escaped with the Fifth-Grade Grand Array, but the Shen Family Ancestor cut him apart and the One-Eye Ancestor crushed his remains.
• Elder Xun realized the grand array was teleporting the defeated disciples back into the arena and then sending everyone to Xuantian Peak.
• The grand array teleported Xuantian Peak to the edge of Yanluo Mountain, where it toppled across the boundary between Ganxue Prefecture and Third-Grade territory.
• Shangguan Wang used the upheaval to teleport Yu'er away from Wenren Wan, then vanished himself.
• Mr. Tu announced that the preparations were complete and opened the Wild Heaven Blood Sacrifice Array.

A Demonic Path Grand Array erupted across Ganxue Prefecture, prompting the Dao Court Office and sects to mobilize while the ancestors feared for the abducted Shangguan child and hundreds of captured prodigies. Inside the array at Yanluo Mountain, Mo Hua awoke among Void Gate disciples, recognized the deadly situation, and realized the array had turned the Sword Discussion Assembly into a brutal battle for survival.

• The Demonic Path Grand Array spread bloodshed across Ganxue Prefecture as evil demons and demonic cultivators attacked settlements and Dao Prisons, and the Dao Court Office mobilized to suppress them.
• The Void Insight Ancestors identified the Demonic Path Grand Array, ordered the sects to destroy it and rescue the Shangguan child and captured prodigies, and Elder Xun worried that Mo Hua was trapped at its heart.
• Mo Hua woke among Situ Jian, Cheng Mo, and other Void Gate disciples after falling from Xuantian Peak, then led them to explore Yanluo Mountain and search for their scattered companions.
• Mo Hua identified the area as a sealed region of compound evil arrays near the central hub, where Blood Mist, Evil Thoughts, and hidden Evil Spirits threatened the group.
• Cheng Mo and the others subdued a demonized Xiaoyao Sect disciple, and Mo Hua ordered them to kill him because an Evil Spirit had devoured his Divine Consciousness.
• Mo Hua realized the array turned every death into nourishment for an Evil Fetus and understood that the disciples faced a bloody, demonized battle royale instead of the Sword Discussion he had planned to disrupt.

Mo Hua rescued his Void Gate junior martial brothers from the evil Dao array and devised a plan to save other talented disciples rather than follow the Evil God's slaughter rules. He recruited Song Jian and fifteen Duanjin Gate disciples, then set out to gather more allies.

• Mo Hua led Situ Jian and the others through the Withered Forest, avoided its Evil Spirits, and rescued Ouyang Xuan and nearly twenty Void Gate disciples.
• Mo Hua subdued the corrupted Ouyang Fu and Ouyang Lu, then used Sword Bone to devour the Evil Spirits in their Seas of Consciousness while the lightly corrupted disciples guarded their Dao Hearts.
• After realizing the Evil God had rigged the battle so no one could truly win by killing, Mo Hua decided to save talented disciples and unite them under his own rules.
• Mo Hua gave the Void Gate disciples Divine Dao Arrays to protect their Seas of Consciousness and led them to find Song Jian and his Duanjin Gate companions.
• Song Jian first attacked Mo Hua, then agreed to join forces after Mo Hua warned that his fifteen fellow disciples would die if they remained alone in the Evil Array.

Mo Hua gathered disciples from Duanjin Gate, Guishui Gate, and the Vajra Sect under his command as they crossed the Evil Dao Grand Array, enforcing strict rules and rescuing those they could. The growing group reached Feng Zichen of Xiaoyao Sect, who agreed to join after seeing the unlikely alliance surrounding Mo Hua.

• Feng Zichen saw the allied sects gathered around Mo Hua, agreed to join them, and followed the group.

Mo Hua gathered the disciples of the Eight Great Sects and scattered Twelve Streams while leading them through the evil Grand Array, then compelled the Four Great Sects to join his group. The chapter left Mo Hua in command of the gathered prodigies as they continued searching for a way out.

• Feng Zichen and the Lingxiao Sect disciples joined Mo Hua after seeing his strength and the danger of the Withered Forest Blood Swamp.

Mo Hua subdued the gathered sect prodigies and explained how the evil array and a corrupted Dao Heart could turn cultivators into demons. He traced the array’s bone steles to a hidden passage, then entered alone and reached a hall full of evil-path Array Masters.

• Mo Hua silenced Ye Zhiyuan and warned the gathered prodigies to control their words, desires, and killing intent within the evil array.
• Mo Hua explained that Evil Spirits and weak Dao Hearts could lead cultivators to demonization, leaving the prodigies shaken and quiet.
• Mo Hua reasoned that the sealed region connected to a larger array through White Bone Steles, then found the steles beneath the blood-red earth and followed their array patterns to a mountain cave.
• Mo Hua directed Ao Zheng and the other Body Cultivators to break through a stone wall, and he destroyed the Evil Spirit that lunged from behind it with his Divine Sense Sword.
• Mo Hua entered the hidden passage alone, baited and refined its Evil Spirits, then undid the sealing Array Technique at the passage’s end.
• Mo Hua reached an Array Hub hall where evil-path Array Masters used human bones, blood, and skin to draw blood-red array techniques.
