Chen Fei discovered that Frenzied Power weakened as he approached the Great Divide, where unusually pure Heaven and Earth Essence Qi surged outward. After a Demonic Beast emerged and was captured by Primal Fiends, Chen Fei sent a Night Demon War Soldier into the Great Divide to investigate, but it was corrupted and destroyed before it could reach the depths.

• Chen Fei realized he could not yet investigate the Great Divide’s changes safely and remained concerned that failing to understand them could leave no escape if danger arose.

Chen Fei used nested Night Demon War Soldiers and Earth God Weapons to probe the demonic qi in the Great Divide, discovering array patterns embedded in space rifts more than three hundred million li inside. He returned toward Cold Mountain Domain after suspecting a powerful expert was investigating the divide, but found a group of Primordial Demons at Capping Valley.

• Chen Fei reasoned that demonic qi emerged from space and that the Great Divide’s new threat could eventually transform cultivators and Primordial Demons into mindless Demonic Beasts.
• Chen Fei sent nested Night Demon War Soldiers into the Great Divide and found they could advance farther by shedding contaminated outer layers.

Chen Fei killed Su Hongtao after revealing his Earth God Realm Limit strength and Skyfall Sword, then reported the Great Divide’s abnormal changes to Chen Fengyan. Back in seclusion, he used his mission reward to cultivate Three Thousand Sky Swords, which fused into a single sword that struck at his divine soul.

• Su Hongtao attacked Chen Fei, but Chen Fei shattered his palm with his physique and wounded him with Skyfall Sword.

• Chen Fei returned to the Nurturing Spirit Sect and began cultivating with the Primal Fiend Source in the Ruin Realm Void.
• Chen Fei’s Three Thousand Sky Swords fused into one Sky Sword, which turned and slashed at his divine soul.

Chen Fei transformed his divine soul to the Heavenly God Realm Initial Stage and used a Forcible Breakthrough to reach the Earth God Realm Peak. He then began refining Mid-Grade Great Dao Stones to raise his elemental energy toward its limit while the Ruin Realm advanced again.
