Seeing a chance to help, Ye Fan left the Ji Family's formation to retrieve the Great Accomplishment Sacred Body's corpse and other weapons, while Ji Ziyue let him go despite her worry.

The Saint Emperor Qilin withdrew from the battle after the Supremes offered to end the darkness, leaving Ye Fan to face them alone. Ye Fan rejected their demand for his life essence and fought back as the Supremes launched a full assault.

• The Light-Dark Supreme and Qitian Supreme died, and more than a dozen Supremes gathered to demand the remaining life essence.

Ye Fan endured a prolonged assault from more than a dozen Supremes, growing toward Great Accomplishment as he repeatedly revived. As the Supremes weakened, the Golden Crow began a Great Emperor Tribulation, while the Reincarnators believed their agreement with Xu Yue would bring the Saint Emperor Qilin to their aid.

• The Supremes realized Ye Fan was synchronizing with the Great Accomplishment Sacred Body and growing stronger, while they ran low on strength and supplies.

• The Reincarnators reviewed their agreement with Xu Yue and concluded that the Saint Emperor Qilin would act for them, leaving them confident they could claim the spoils.

As three figures attained the Dao, they sided with the supreme beings against Ye Fan, who used the remnants of his heavenly tribulation to grow stronger. The chapter ended with Ye Fan activating the summoning formation left by the Great Emperor Wushi.

• The supreme beings urged the three newly enlightened figures to join them, and all three chose to oppose Ye Fan.
• Ye Fan deliberately entered the remnants of the Feathered Great Emperor's heavenly tribulation and endured its attacks as it improved his strength.
• When the supreme beings realized Ye Fan's Dao was evolving, they tried to break the tribulation, but its final force struck first and strengthened him further.
• Ye Fan avoided a direct fight, knowing his Sacred Medicine was nearly exhausted, and activated the summoning formation protected within the Wushi Bell.

Ye Fan summoned Wushi to help repel the Forbidden Zone Supremes, but Wushi could only strike across worlds. As Wushi’s summoning formation began to fail, Ye Fan pulled a woman from the Goddess Furnace, and Qingxia told him she was needed for Wushi to descend.

• Wushi appeared beyond the gate of light and kicked a Forbidden Zone Supreme across the universe, where the exhausted Supreme underwent Daoization.

Ye Fan survived the Supremes’ siege after reaching Great Accomplishment and receiving powerful medicine, while Xu Yue helped awaken the Undying Heavenly Emperor. The Undying Heavenly Emperor arrived at the battlefield asking for the Sacred Body, leaving Ye Fan bewildered.

• Ye Fan proposed that he hold Undying Heavenly Emperor off while the others attacked, and he resolved to use the medicine Xu Yue had given him.

• Ye Fan endured the Undying Heavenly Emperor's attacks with his Sacred Body and weapons, while the other fighters bombarded both combatants.
• The Saint Emperor Qilin projected himself into the Primordial Immortal Land and told the Reincarnators that the Undying Heavenly Emperor was an immortal stronger than he was.

• Churchill agreed to try the Descent Military Formation, and Fred resolved to commit fully to the effort.

The Undying Heavenly Emperor tried to recruit Ye Fan to help him reach the Immortal Domain, but Ye Fan refused and continued fighting until his Sacred Medicine nearly ran out.

Amitabha broke through the blockade with a transformed power that could resonate with the Shrouding the Heavens World’s ultimate darkness, making Xu Yue realize the danger he had underestimated.

Laojun destroyed Shakyamuni while Amitabha’s Buddhist light converted Churchill and drew the Supremes toward his pure land. Emperor Venerate appeared to oppose Amitabha, but Amitabha recognized him as another potential convert.

• Laojun confronted Shakyamuni, whose attempt to resist left his Buddha heart flawed and ended with his body exploding into ashes.
• Churchill summoned Amitabha through Britain’s Descent Military Formation, but Amitabha converted him before he could make his request.

• The Undying Heavenly Emperor and Saint Emperor Qilin feared that Amitabha’s influence was taking control of their thoughts.
• Emperor Venerate appeared in the World Cauldron and accused Amitabha of consuming the world, but Amitabha calmly told him he had karmic affinity with the Buddha.

Amitabha descended and began devouring the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands, confronting its defenders as the world itself transformed to resist him. Wu Shi emerged from a strange world and merged with a phantom from the past, becoming even more powerful.

• Emperor Venerate warned Undying Heavenly Emperor and Saint Emperor Qilin that Amitabha was devouring their world, while Golden Crow Great Emperor and Feathered Great Emperor recovered from his influence.
• Amitabha sealed Ye Fan in frozen space-time, and Divine Court Emperor Lord entered Amitabha’s pure land.
• Yellow Emperor and Emperor Yan arrived to oppose Amitabha, who remained focused on an unseen external tribulation rather than attacking them.

• Amitabha halted the awakening of ancient Dao imprints, but Wu Shi and several dozen others emerged from the strange world, allowing a phantom from the past to merge with Wu Shi.

As Amitabha gained the advantage against Wu Shi and the others, Xu Yue unleashed the reincarnation he had built in the Yaoguang Immortal Realm and confronted the Buddha. Xu Yue collapsed Amitabha’s Pure Lands, Buddhist kingdoms, and golden body at his fingertip, then greeted the Yellow Emperor.

• Wu Shi received the Dao seal blessing of Immortal King Wuzhong and led the empowered fighters against Amitabha, but the Buddha effortlessly repelled their attacks and eroded the world.
• Xu Yue returned to Shaking Light, assessed the battle, and activated the reincarnation he had reconstructed in the Yaoguang Immortal Realm.
• The reincarnation surged into the battlefield, alarming the combatants, while the Yellow Emperor urged Xu Yue to help stop Amitabha and Laojun told him to let Xu Yue act.
• Amitabha tried to collect the reincarnation, but Xu Yue pressed a finger to His forehead and collapsed His Pure Lands, Buddhist kingdoms, and golden body into a single point.
• Xu Yue gathered the reincarnation in his other hand, turned to the Yellow Emperor, and greeted him.

Xu Yue defeated Amitabha and collected rewards from Yellow Emperor, Emperor Yan, and Laojun, revealing himself as a Quasi-Immortal Emperor. The battle ended with the Reincarnators victorious, and Fred hurried over to claim a share of the spoils.

Over three hundred years, Xu Yue’s harsh training helped Ye Fan become a Heavenly Emperor and then a Mortal Immortal, while the cultivation worlds grew more peaceful. Xu Yue opened the path to the Immortal Domain before departing, then reflected on his progress and hoped his next Punishment mission would take him to a suitable world.

• The Undying Heavenly Emperor and Emperor Venerate spent three hundred years beating Ye Fan while Azure Mist Saint Son supplied him with medicine, and Ye Fan eventually attained the Dao as a Heavenly Emperor.
• Xu Yue credited Ye Fan’s slow progress to his dependence on force-ripening, while Ye Fan forgave him and reflected on the friends and family he had gained.

After the Coalition Forces suffered heavy losses in the High-Energy World, MacArthur and De Gaulle’s gains helped restore confidence, while Xu Yue attracted investors and watched MacArthur challenge Hoover for the presidency. Xu Yue learned that Little Roosevelt had unexpectedly united most neutral capital factions and emerged as a powerful third contender.
