After two years of constant battles and healing, Ye Fan reached the peak of the ninth level of Saint King and finally had a chance to rest. Pang Bo assured him that Xu Yue was safe, but Shaking Light remained sealed and its connection to the Ruthless Great Emperor was still unclear.

• Ye Fan realized he had exhausted his Sacred Medicine after reaching the peak of the ninth level of Saint King through two years of repeated battles.
• Ye Fan reflected on the arrival of powerful outsiders, including more than ten Great Saints, and on the threat posed by the Fire Qilin Cave siblings and their Ancient Emperor Weapon.
• After injuring the Shaking Light Candidate Saint Son and seeing the Fire Qilin Cave siblings withdraw, Ye Fan contacted his old friends.
• Pang Bo told Ye Fan that Shaking Light had sealed its mountain and that Xu Yue had sent a letter saying he was safe.

Duan De, Xu Yue, Ye Fan, and Ji Ziyue discussed Big Dipper’s growing factional divisions and the ambitions of the Ancient Trial Road experts. Ji Haoyue arrived with news that Divine Court envoys had brought a Quasi-Emperor Weapon and announced their lord’s coming, then urged Ji Ziyue to return home.

• Duan De complained to Xu Yue about the Reincarnation Hall and the turmoil among Big Dipper’s sects and holy lands.
• The human powers divided into three factions, while their efforts to evacuate civilians from the war zones made little progress.

• Ji Haoyue arrived and told Ji Ziyue that two Great Sages from the Divine Court had announced their lord’s imminent arrival and gone to inspect the Immortal Mansion with a Quasi-Emperor Weapon.
• Ji Haoyue urged Ji Ziyue to return home because the Great Sages protecting their side had gone to the Immortal Mansion and Ye Fan’s presence could put her in danger.

Ye Fan learned that the Immortal Mansion had drawn powerful factions, but before he could go there, Great Sages from the Ancient Trial Road sealed him in and demanded his Mother Qi of All Things. They accused him of possessing something left by the Ruthless Great Emperor and of being linked to the disappearances of human geniuses.

• Ji Haoyue explained that the Divine Court and human Great Sages were heading to the Immortal Mansion, and Ye Fan decided to go as well.
• A group of Great Sages from the Ancient Trial Road trapped Ye Fan and Ji Haoyue in a sealed formation.
• The Silver-haired Great Sage demanded that Ye Fan hand over the Mother Qi of All Things, claiming it belonged to his ancestor, the Ruthless Great Emperor.
• Duan De challenged the claim, and the Silver-haired Great Sage produced a portrait depicting the Ruthless Great Emperor with the Heaven Swallowing Devil Pot.
• Another Great Sage accused Ye Fan of being connected to the recent disappearances of human geniuses and said they needed to investigate.

When Liu Feng and Qi Tian attacked with Emperor Weapons, Ye Fan unleashed his hidden power and killed Liu Feng, while the battle with the remaining Great Sages continued.

• Ye Fan identified the portrait’s seal as proof that the Silver-haired Great Sage was descended from an ancient demon suppressed by the Ruthless Great Emperor.

• Ye Fan killed Liu Feng quickly and seized the Chinese Paladin, leaving Qi Tian fearful of fighting him.
• Qi Tian removed the ruined formation, threatened to unleash a Supreme Emperor battle near civilians, and loudly accused Ye Fan of endangering the Human Race.
• Experts arrived, and Qi Tian and the Silver-haired Great Sage portrayed Liu Feng as a victim of Ye Fan’s surprise attack and claimed Ye Fan had stolen the Emperor Weapon.
• Jiang Taixu arrived and challenged the Great Sages’ accusations, demanding evidence.
• Wang Tianyu argued that Liu Feng’s death was evidence enough and demanded that Ye Fan prove his innocence.

Ye Fan faced accusations from Qi Tian and the other Great Sages, who borrowed Emperor Weapons to force him into a fight beyond the domain. When the Heaven Swallowing Devil Pot revealed the Empress’s figure, she destroyed their clans and killed the three Great Sages, leaving their Emperor Weapons cracked and scattered.

• The Empress declared the three clans beyond forgiveness, crushed their selected clansmen, blasted their Emperor Weapons away, and caused the three Great Sages to crumble into dust.

The Heaven Swallowing Devil Pot transformed into the Empress and crushed the powers that had attacked Ye Fan, damaging three Emperor Weapons. Ye Fan then began his Great Sage tribulation, and his breakthrough established him among Big Dipper’s decision-makers.

• The Empress emerged from the Heaven Swallowing Devil Pot, killed several clans, and shattered three Emperor Weapons with a single strike.
• The Forbidden Zone Supremes and observing Great Sages recognized the Empress’s overwhelming power, while the Nine Li Divine Dynasty mourned its ruined Emperor Weapon and lost chance to compete for the Immortal Ascension Path.
• The Heaven Swallowing Devil Pot transformed back, and Ye Fan returned it to Duan De before starting his Great Sage tribulation beyond the domain.
• Ye Fan completed his tribulation and entered the Great Sage realm, stunning the watching forces with his rapid advancement.
• The Great Sages acknowledged that Ye Fan’s rise could no longer be restrained and that he now held a place in Big Dipper’s decision-making circle.

Ye Fan entered the Immortal Mansion as a newly advanced Great Sage, seeking its ancient Immortal Ascension Path and exploring its depths with his companions. He reached a deadly ancient battlefield where onlookers expected him to face the Saint King Overlord, who had been searching for him.

• Xu Yue visited the Archaic Forbidden Zone and asked Ruthless Emperor whether she would emerge when the Immortal Ascension Path opened, but she said she would decide then.
• Ye Fan set out for the Immortal Mansion after becoming a Great Sage, carrying the Cauldron of Myriad Mother Qi and the Killing Emperor Sword he had taken from Liu Feng.

• Ye Fan reached an ancient battlefield that even Saints could not cross, where cultivators recognized him but mistakenly believed he was still a Saint.
• Several Saints from beyond the domain anticipated a confrontation because the Saint King Overlord had come to the Immortal Mansion to find Ye Fan.

Ye Fan learned that the Overlord, Hun Zhan, had arrived and was attempting to cross the Slaughter Battlefield. Qi Zheng summoned Hun Zhan to confront Ye Fan, leaving the two powerhouses poised to meet at the battlefield’s edge.

• The extraterrestrial Saints discussed the Overlord Body’s history of defeating Sacred Bodies, stirring Ye Fan until his aura briefly overwhelmed them.
• Qi Zheng arrived with his followers and taunted Ye Fan, confident in the support of his Great Saint grandfather and his ties to Hun Zhan.
• Qi Zheng called out that the Sacred Body was present, drawing everyone’s attention to Hun Zhan as he tested the ancient battlefield.
• Hun Zhan retreated from the battlefield and said he had used seventy percent of his strength and could likely cross only ninety percent of it.

Ye Fan killed Hun Zhan with a casual punch, then executed Qi Zheng after learning he was Qi Tian’s grandson. He shielded Ji Ziyue and the others with his golden Saint Domain and crossed into the ancient battlefield’s depths, leaving the extraterrestrial Saints terrified by his Great Saint strength.

• Hun Zhan challenged Ye Fan and unleashed his killing intent, but Ye Fan’s probing punch shattered his spear and reduced him to a mass of flesh, killing him.
• The onlookers realized Ye Fan had crushed the Overlord, while Ye Fan reflected that the gap between their strength had made the fight effortless.
• Ye Fan confirmed that Qi Zheng was Qi Tian’s grandson and told him that Qi Tian had been executed for colluding with foreign races and slaughtering human geniuses.
• Ye Fan flicked Qi Zheng to ash, then shielded Ji Ziyue and the others with his golden Saint Domain and crossed the ancient battlefield.
• The extraterrestrial Saints watched in terror as they realized Ye Fan was a Great Saint and had apparently slain Great Saint Qi Tian.

Ye Fan entered the Emperor's Fall Grounds and encountered Great Sages debating whether he and Gu Tianshu should join the Divine Court. The Divine Court's envoy tried to recruit them, but the old Great Sage of the Great Xia Dynasty's Taihuang Sword released an imperial aura, provoking the envoy.

• Ye Fan arrived in the central forbidden region, where Gu Tianshu and a brown-haired Great Sage had stopped fighting.
• The brown-haired Great Sage invited Ye Fan to serve the Emperor Lord of the Divine Court, and Ye Fan said he would consider it.
• The brown-haired Great Sage also urged Gu Tianshu to join, but Gu Tianshu smiled without agreeing.
• Great Sage Huntuo tried to smooth over the gathering, but the Taihuang Sword in the Great Xia Dynasty's old Great Sage's hand released a faint imperial aura.
• The brown-haired Great Sage challenged the old Great Sage and boasted that the Emperor Lord's imperial weapon was nearly complete.

The Great Xia Dynasty’s old Great Sage entered the core with the Taihuang Sword after its divine spirit sensed a familiar aura, while the brown-haired Divine Court Great Sage redirected his anger toward Gu Tianshu and Ye Fan. Ye Fan struck first, breaking the brown-haired Great Sage’s Quasi-Emperor Weapon and crippling his cultivation.

• Great Sage Huntuo tried to mediate as the Taihuang Sword’s aura intensified and its divine spirit recognized a familiar presence.
• The old Great Sage of Great Xia forced the brown-haired Great Sage to his knees, then entered the core protected by the Taihuang Sword.
• The brown-haired Great Sage angrily threatened the Great Xia Dynasty and demanded an explanation from Gu Tianshu and Ye Fan.
• Gu Tianshu produced the Jiang Family’s Eternal Furnace, prompting the brown-haired Great Sage to back down and turn his attention to Ye Fan instead.
• Ye Fan summoned the Cauldron of Myriad Mother Qi and an Emperor Sword, then slashed the brown-haired Great Sage, snapping his spear and reducing his cultivation to the Dragon Transformation Realm.

Ye Fan killed two Divine Court Great Sages after one of them attacked him, then joined Great Sage Huntuo and others to investigate the Emperor's Fall Grounds. Outside the battlefield, the Overlord's body stirred as a sinister Divine Thought awakened within it.

• Ye Fan broke the brown-haired Divine Court Great Sage's Quasi-Emperor Weapon and severed his cultivation with a single strike.
• Ye Fan killed the two fleeing Divine Court Great Sages with his Emperor Weapon, while Great Sage Huntuo watched in confusion.
• Great Sage Huntuo invited others to enter the core region, but most of the Great Sages retreated; Ye Fan, Gu Tianshu, and the Ji Family's old Great Sage agreed to accompany him.
• Saints gathered near the Overlord's body and considered taking its flesh and bones for themselves.
• The Overlord's flesh began to writhe, and the Supreme Emperor Might in Ye Fan's sword awakened the Divine Thought hidden within it.

The Human Emperor Divine Thought slaughtered Saints outside the Emperor's Fall Grounds and grew stronger by absorbing their vitality. Ye Fan and the others discovered that the Primordial Emperor had been killed by the Undying Heavenly Emperor, then emerged to confront the Divine Thought before it could devour the Emperor blood.

• The Human Emperor Divine Thought enveloped the Saints preparing to dismember Overlord, leaving only skeletons and growing denser after consuming their vitality and flesh.
• Ye Fan and the others broke through the Emperor blood barrier and found the shattered corpse of the Primordial Emperor, prompting Ye Fan and Great Sage Huntuo to question the Undying Heavenly Emperor's past.
• The Emperor's Fall Grounds trembled under an assault, so Ye Fan, Great Sage Huntuo, and the others left to investigate.
• Outside, Ye Fan and the others found ancient race chieftains fighting a black Divine Thought with Ancient Emperor Weapons, while the remains of at least two Great Sages from beyond the domain lay nearby.
• Ye Fan recognized that the Divine Thought was gathering faith and growing stronger by devouring Saints, and the group realized it was trying to reach the Emperor blood.

Ye Fan and the others failed to stop the Human Emperor’s Divine Thought from absorbing the imperial remains and blood, allowing it to attain the might of a Supreme. The newly empowered entity suppressed the Taihuang Sword and declared its intention to seize an imperial weapon and slaughter the Great Sages and Sacred Bodies.

• The Human Emperor’s Divine Thought feinted toward the Black Emperor and his companions, then used Ye Fan’s attack to slip past the Ancient Emperor Weapons and reach the imperial blood.
• The Divine Thought absorbed the imperial blood and remains, gaining an indestructible imperial body and power that suppressed the Great Dao.
• The Life Forbidden Zone Supremes noticed the Divine Thought’s transformation and recognized it as an unusual being strengthened by faith and imperial remains.
• The Divine Thought subdued the Taihuang Sword, put its divine spirit to sleep, and announced that it would claim the Great Sages’ and Sacred Bodies’ flesh and blood.

Ye Fan and the assembled Great Saints faced the Human Emperor's Malice, which suppressed their Emperor Weapons until the Fire Qilin Cave siblings arrived with the Qilin Staff. The staff broke through the suppression and forced the Malice to flee, while the Forbidden Zone Supremes realized Saint Emperor Qilin might still be alive and had been manipulating events.

• Ye Fan sensed the Human Emperor's Malice's overwhelming power as it suppressed the Taihuang Sword and threatened the other Emperor Weapons.
• Saint Emperor Qilin sent the Fire Qilin Cave siblings into the Immortal Mansion with the Qilin Staff and told them to join the fight.
• Huo Linzi and his sister entered the Malice's territory, where Ye Fan and the Great Saints explained that their weapons were being suppressed.
• Huo Linzi wielded the Qilin Staff, which broke through the Malice's blockade and struck at it with Supreme Emperor Might.
• The Human Emperor's Malice fled through a rift in space, startled that the Saint Emperor Qilin was still alive.
• The Forbidden Zone Supremes recognized Saint Emperor Qilin's aura and suspected that he had secretly manipulated recent events.

After Human Emperor's Malice escaped, the surviving powers arranged another Myriad Races Grand Gathering while the Life Forbidden Zones reacted to the revelation that Ancient Emperor Qilin had lived a second life. Ye Fan looked toward the coming Immortal Ascension Path and feared the unprecedented conflict it could unleash.

• Human Emperor's Malice cut short the Taihuang Sword's revival, and the Great Sages agreed to hold another Myriad Races Grand Gathering in Darkness City.
• The Forbidden Zone Supremes learned that Ancient Emperor Qilin had left his forbidden zone and lived a second life, and they agreed to expose his existence and deal with him first.
• The Life Forbidden Zones showed signs of activity as representatives emerged ahead of the Grand Gathering in Darkness City.
• Ye Fan considered how the coming Immortal Ascension Path would draw powerhouses from across the starry sky and might trigger a devastating Darkness Rebellion.
