After Creation Sect destroyed Heavenly Fire Sect, Dragon Sword Sect's leaders learned that Jiang Yufeng was coming to attack them next and ordered an evacuation rather than a doomed defense. As Jiang arrived sooner than they expected, Dragon Xingfeng watched the sect fall into panic and resigned himself to its destruction.

• Dragon Xingyu and Feng Daoqi warned Dragon Sword Sect's True Immortals that Creation Sect had crushed Heavenly Fire Sect and was now powerful enough to threaten the whole Flame River Dao.
• Dragon Xingfeng received word that Jiang Yufeng was leading Creation Sect's war weapons toward Dragon Sword Sect, prompting Dragon Congyun and the other elders to urge retreat.

Gu Jinlai destroyed the Dragon Sword Sect, absorbed its grotto-heavens into the Creation Sect, and continued conquering the Flame River Circuit as the Mo Family assembled a vast coalition against him. With the Creation Sect badly outnumbered, Gu Jinlai strengthened his Great Sun Eternal Method and prepared for the coming battle.

• Gu Jinlai annihilated the Dragon Sword Sect's defenders with Li Fire Divine Light, judged its cultivators, and ordered the survivors to join the Creation Sect.
• True Immortal Yun Zhen took control of the Dragon Sword Sect and reported that its two completed grotto-heavens and nearly finished third grotto-heaven had become Creation Sect assets.

• Jiang Yujian and Ye Yan discussed the enemy's overwhelming numbers and the Creation Sect's limited forces, then resolved to trust Gu Jinlai and prepare for war.
• Gu Jinlai's forces took the Tower of Wind and Rain with little resistance, and he considered the Mo Family's possible hidden Profound Immortals before advancing the Great Sun Eternal Method to its perfected third layer.

Gu Jinlai strengthened his cultivation while preparing Flame River Dao for the Northern Domain’s coming war, and Azure Heaven Child revealed that the Longevity Pavilion might secretly aid him against the Mo Household. The chapter left Gu Jinlai weighing the danger that the Mo Household would commit even greater forces after guessing he could resist them.

• Gu Jinlai completed the third stage of the Great Sun Eternal Art, then ordered Zhang Yukun to accelerate the purge of Flame River Dao.
• As the Northern Domain’s allied army gathered in the Stormwind Mountains, elders and disciples fled Idle Cloud Tower, and Gu Jinlai continued reorganizing Flame River Dao.
• Gu Jinlai estimated that the attack would begin within one or two months and worried he could not gain enough clear light to strengthen his cultivation further.
• Azure Heaven Child met Gu Jinlai and explained that the Longevity Pavilion had sent few fighters and intended to keep them away from the battle.
• Azure Heaven Child said the Mo Household had blocked the Longevity Pavilion’s path to producing Mysterious Immortals and offered its research on countering the Mo Household’s Heavenly Dao and immortal arts.
• Gu Jinlai realized that the Mo Household might expect him to resist its forces and respond by committing even greater strength.

Gu Jinlai learned from Tianqingzi about the Mo Clan’s Immortal Arts and assessed the danger posed by its hidden Profound Immortals. He decided to strike the Northern Domain Allied Forces in the Storm Mountains before they finished assembling, where he revealed overwhelming power and launched his attack.

• Tianqingzi gave Gu Jinlai intelligence on the Mo Clan’s Great Limitless Annihilation Sword Qi, its weaknesses, and the faction’s likely Immortal Lords and Profound Immortals.
• Gu Jinlai realized that routing the True Immortals and Void Immortals gathered in the Storm Mountains could yield enough clear light to strengthen the Great Sun Eternal Law, so he ordered Zhang Yukun to prepare for an early decisive battle.
• Gu Jinlai flew toward the Storm Mountains, while Mo Longxuan and the allied leaders learned of his approach and prepared to confront him, expecting Mo Longfei to reinforce them.
• Gu Jinlai expanded into an 1,800-meter-tall form as Mo Longxuan, Ning Yu, Mo Longjian, and Wanxiang Immortal Lord activated their Heavenly Daos and prepared to attack.
• Gu Jinlai formed a vast halo and fired four enormous beams of blazing light at the four Immortal Lords.

Gu Jinlai used the Divine Light of Lihuo to overwhelm four Immortal Lords, forcing them to burn spirit crystals and call for reinforcements. When Mo Longxuan offered rewards for anyone who attacked Gu Jinlai, Gu Jinlai turned the incoming fighters into targets, leaving the battle escalating as the first True Immortals and Void Immortals burned to ash.

• Gu Jinlai's four pillars of Divine Light of Lihuo set the four Immortal Lords' Heavenly Daos ablaze and began to overwhelm them.
• The Myriad Manifestations Immortal Lord claimed Jiang Yufeng had hidden his strength to target the Mo Household, and Mo Longxuan ordered the Immortal Lords to hold out for reinforcements.
• Mo Longxuan contacted Mo Longfei and Mo Ziya, who promised to arrive with an ancestral immortal artifact, while the Immortal Lords burned spirit crystals to maintain their defenses.
• When the Myriad Manifestations Immortal Lord ran out of spirit crystals, Mo Longxuan offered him more in exchange for Dao artifacts and promised rewards to anyone who injured Gu Jinlai.
• More than a thousand Dao Lords, Celestial Immortals, True Immortals, and Void Immortals attacked Gu Jinlai, who redirected a Divine Light of Lihuo at them and burned several True Immortals and over a dozen Void Immortals to ash.

Gu Jinlai fought off the Mo family’s overwhelming siege, massacring hundreds of Void Immortals and forcing the surrounding factions to reconsider joining the battle. As Profound Immortal Mo Longfei approached, Gu Jinlai used clear light to advance the Great Sun Eternal Art and began cultivating the Eighteen Heavens to strengthen his control over his growing power.

• Mo Longxuan offered rewards for anyone who helped stop Gu Jinlai, drawing more than two hundred True Immortals and three thousand Void Immortals into the siege.
• Gu Jinlai unleashed the Lihuo Divine Radiance and slaughtered waves of attackers, accumulating five hundred strands of clear light and frightening the watching factions.
• Gu Jinlai formed a blazing sun and fired beams across the battlefield, killing hundreds of Void Immortals and causing many cultivators to retreat.
• Mo Longxuan and Mo Longjian urged the four Immortal Lords and five Dao Lords to attack Gu Jinlai as Profound Immortal Mo Longfei approached.
• Gu Jinlai’s sun and gravity attacks failed to break the combined defenses of the Immortal Lords and Dao Lords, and he judged that he could not kill them before Mo Longfei arrived.
• Gu Jinlai advanced the Great Sun Eternal Art with clear light, realized his growing size was weakening his control, and spent three hundred and twenty clear lights on the Eighteen Heavens.

• The allied army broke apart under Gu Jinlai’s bombardment, and Mo Longjian realized the battle was lost before Mo Longfei arrived.
• Mo Longfei attacked with Violet Firmament Heavenly Thunder, but Gu Jinlai’s Lihuo Divine Radiance outlasted it and began melting Mo Longfei and his sword.
• Immortal Lord Ning Yu and Mo Longjian joined the attack, but the allied leaders discovered their spirit crystals and Heavenly Dao power were nearly exhausted.
• Gu Jinlai swept the Lihuo Divine Radiance through Immortal Lord Ning Yu’s Xuanming Heavenly Dao, melted her body, and swallowed the compressed Heavenly Dao.
• Mo Longfei struck again with Violet Firmament Heavenly Thunder while Mo Longjian’s Gengjin Heavenly Dao cut a huge gash into Gu Jinlai.

Gu Jinlai unleashed his full power at the Storm Mountains, defeated and killed Mo Longfei, and captured the Heavenly Dao of Thunder. He told Zhang Yukun to begin the counterattack against the weakened Mo Household, leaving the Creation Sect poised to claim dominance over the Northern Domain.

• Gu Jinlai contacted Zhang Yukun and ordered the forces prepared for battle to attack the Mo Household and capture its ringleader.
• Zhang Yukun learned that Gu Jinlai had defeated the coalition army and heard him declare that the Northern Domain would welcome its new hegemon.

After Jiang Yufeng destroyed the Northern Region allied army in the Storm Mountains and killed Mo Longfei, the Profound Origin Sword Sect realized he might have come from the resource-rich Everlasting Realm and considered how to respond. Mo Ziya gathered support from the other great families and prepared the Mo Family to withstand Jiang Yufeng’s impending attack.

• Luo Xiao learned from Jin Ziyun that Jiang Yufeng had routed the allied army, killed Mo Longfei, and displayed an immense immortal body.
• Luo Xiao and Jin Ziyun inferred that Jiang Yufeng’s power came from an inheritance tied to the Everlasting Realm, and Luo Xiao sent Jin Ziyun and Luo Bai to investigate it.
• Luo Xiao planned to ask the Profound Origin Sword Sect’s Grand Elders to advance their cultivation if the Everlasting Realm proved capable of sustaining them.
• Mo Ziya summoned Chi Xuehe, Bai Shengyang, and Ji Longhua, who agreed to support the Mo Family in exchange for information and assistance.
• Mo Ziya reassured the Mo Family’s Immortal Lords and Dao Lords that they needed to hold out until the other families’ ancestors arrived, then ordered them to prepare the defenses.

Longevity Pavilion debated whether to support the Creation Gate against the Mo Household, but Danchenzi chose to wait for the battle’s outcome. Outside the Mo Household, Gu Jinlai strengthened his cultivation in preparation for the coming conflict.

• Danchenzi, Immortal Lord Hongshan, Tianqingzi, and Zhang Baijie assessed Gu Jinlai’s strength and the risk that the Mo Household could call on its allied lineages.
• Tianqingzi urged Longevity Pavilion to deepen its cooperation with the Creation Gate, but Danchenzi decided they should wait and see whether Gu Jinlai could withstand the coming pressure.
• Gu Jinlai positioned himself near the Mo Household to prevent its forces from launching a surprise attack on the Creation Gate army.
• Gu Jinlai used clear light to raise Eighteen Heavens to seventh heaven minor accomplishment, but found that further progress would require more effort than expected.
• Gu Jinlai chose to prioritize raw energy over mental cultivation and advanced Great Sun Eternal Method from perfection fourth stage to perfection fifth stage.

Gu Jinlai strengthened the Great Sun Eternal Art until his body approached the size of an Eight-Heaven Profound Immortal, then set out to attack the Mo Family. Mo Ziya rallied the clan and used its formation to turn the spiritual nature of hundreds of millions of people into fuel for the Great Limitless Annihilation Sword Qi, forcing Gu Jinlai to change tactics and prepare a decisive strike.

• Gu Jinlai raised the Great Sun Eternal Art to fivefold perfection, growing to nearly 2,900 meters tall while recognizing that his immense size came at the cost of control and speed.
• Gu Jinlai headed for the Mo Family, whose outer members panicked at his approach and whose leaders watched in alarm as his size approached that of a Nine-Heaven Profound Immortal.
• Mo Ziya dismissed Gu Jinlai's apparent strength as a bluff, called on Red Blood River, Bai Shengyang, and Ji Longhua for support, and rallied the Mo Family to defend its territory.
• Mo Ziya activated a formation that linked the clan's people and fed their spiritual nature into the Great Limitless Annihilation Sword Qi, while Gu Jinlai failed to expose the sacrifice to them through a mental confrontation.
• Gu Jinlai judged that attacking Mo Ziya conventionally would kill most of the people in the territory, shed some energy from his Great Sun Core to form a second core, and prepared to obliterate Mo Ziya in an instant.

Gu Jinlai unleashed a perfected supernova explosion that annihilated Mo Ziya and devastated the Mo Household. The attack left the household reduced to history, with destruction and casualties spread across thousands of li.

• Mo Ziya mistook Gu Jinlai’s contracting form and unstable fireball for signs of weakness, then launched the Great Wuji Annihilation Sword Qi.
• Gu Jinlai’s fireball collapsed into a supernova explosion, revealing the power of the Great Dao of Destruction.
• The explosion overwhelmed Mo Ziya’s sword qi and melted Mo Ziya’s body before he could escape.
• The blast killed the accompanying Celestial Immortals, Dao Lords, and Immortal Lords, then spread through the Mo Household’s territory.
• Gu Jinlai surveyed the destruction, which had razed the household’s core and caused casualties likely numbering in the millions.

Gu Jinlai destroyed the Mo Clan with a supernova explosion, claimed its immortal artifact, and ordered the Creation Gate to seize and secure its territory. As the Creation Gate began taking control of the Northern Domain, the Three Great Families and the Xuanyuan Sword Sect gathered to discuss the threat posed by its new power.

• Gu Jinlai recovered the Furnace of All Living Beings, cleansed the karma from his supernova attack, and reflected on the danger of letting power distort his intentions.
• Gu Jinlai searched two damaged Mo Clan grotto-heavens for scriptures and treasures, but found neither the clan's most fundamental inheritance nor any especially valuable supplies.
• Gu Jinlai told Zhang Yukun that Mo Ziya and most of the Mo Clan's powerful members were dead, then ordered her forces to finish securing the territory and search for hidden resources.
• Zhang Yukun, Ye Yan, Yun Fenglei, Zhong Shu, and the Creation Gate forces began purging the Mo Clan's remaining forces and organizing its resources for the construction of more Chengying Mecha.
• After learning of the Mo Clan's destruction, Chi Xuehe, Bai Shengyang, and Ji Longhua recognized the Creation Gate as a world-ruling power and received a meeting invitation from Luo Jiuxiao and Wang Xuanjing of the Xuanyuan Sword Sect.

Luo Jiuxiao, Wang Xuanjing, and the three families agreed to seek peace with Jiang Yufeng while secretly preparing to threaten the Longevity Realm’s spiritual energy. Meanwhile, Gu Jinlai strengthened and regained control of his power, then welcomed the arrival of Tian Qingzi.

• Wang Xuanjing proposed that the Profound Origin Sword Sect and the Three Great Families threaten to drain the Longevity Realm’s spiritual energy if Jiang Yufeng continued his invasion, forcing both sides to seek peace.
• Luo Jiuxiao and Wang Xuanjing persuaded the Profound Immortals to unite, secretly prepare passages into the Longevity Realm, and negotiate with the Creation Gate to buy time.
• Gu Jinlai invested 1,000 strands of clear light into his fifth-level perfected Great Sun Eternal Art, stabilizing and strengthening his Great Sun core.
• Gu Jinlai used his remaining clear light to advance the Eighteenth Heaven to eighth-level perfection and gained enough mental control to restrain his current power.
• Gu Jinlai sensed Tian Qingzi arriving and summoned him; Tian Qingzi appeared and congratulated him on defeating the Mo Family and becoming the Northern Domain’s overlord.
