Jiang Liu arrived during the beast tide in Mo Province, killed several powerful mutated beasts, and let the Human Race martial artists fight the rest. After the tide subsided, he turned his attention to investigating the mountain range’s earth veins once the new cities were secure.

• Jiang Liu arrived in Mo Province and killed the Fourth-Tier and Third-Tier Saint Realm mutated beasts, rescuing Qin Bailian and the other martial artists.
• Qin Bailian and the others attacked the remaining beasts while Jiang Liu inspected the rapidly developing city and planned to investigate the earth veins after the fighting.
• The remaining Saint Realm mutated beasts kept fighting because they wanted to reclaim the mountain range, despite Jiang Liu’s arrival and the Celestial Fire Stone Monkey’s death.
• First-Tier Saint Realm mutated beasts fled, prompting the others to retreat as the Human Race martial artists killed the slower Beast Emperors and Beast Kings.
• The mutated beasts left the mountain range, and the beast tide subsided.

Jiang Liu investigated why city construction in Mo Province was progressing unusually slowly, learning that its rocks and Earth Vein were unusually hard. Suspecting the cause lay near the former wolf territory and a Nether altar, he flew there to investigate.

• Jiang Liu learned that Feng Province had completed its city’s initial construction first because many forces had helped, while Mo Province’s progress lagged despite reports of calm.
• Jiang Liu sent Gong Mo and Tian Ling to Feng Province to arrange formations, and they treated his advice to practice as a guiding principle.
• Jiang Liu traveled to Mo Province and questioned Meteor, who reported that unusually hard rocks and Earth Vein were slowing construction.
• Jiang Liu flew toward the site where he had found Qin Bailian, suspecting the former wolf territory’s unusual conditions might be connected to the Nether altar beyond the mountain range.

Jiang Liu investigated the strange Fire-Winged Monkey mutations and followed unusually dense Primal Qi into a cavern beneath the mountain. He continued toward a mysterious roar and found the Heaven and Earth Essence ahead gathered so thickly that he could not see the path.

• Jiang Liu suspected the Fire-Winged Monkeys’ mutations were connected to the desert altar and the changes caused by destroying the Netherworld Master's consciousness and soul.
• Jiang Liu found exotic-beast flesh and undisturbed bones near a cave, suggesting no beasts had dared approach since the wolf-clan beasts left.
• Jiang Liu entered the cavern and flew deeper under a protective shield of the Power of Rule, encountering no attacks or signs of life.
• Jiang Liu heard a continuous roar that did not sound like an exotic beast and sensed no beast, martial artist, or Devil Race aura nearby.
• Jiang Liu realized the Heaven and Earth Essence had grown so dense ahead that it obscured the path and had gathered in the cavern rather than spreading outward.

Jiang Liu encountered a dragon-shaped creature in a passage dense with Primal Qi and discovered that it appeared to be formed from the Qi itself. The encounter led him to realize that the Human Realm’s cultivation environment had changed, though he had yet to understand why the Primal Qi Dragon had formed.

• Jiang Liu used flames to light his way through the dense Primal Qi after he could no longer see ahead.
• A huge mouth swallowed the flames and lunged at Jiang Liu, who shattered it with a blade formed from Primal Qi.
• Jiang Liu saw a gigantic dragon head attack him while the surrounding Primal Qi helped pin him down.
• Jiang Liu realized the dragon beast had reached the first stage of the Divine Realm, suggesting that warriors might now be able to break through within the Human Realm.
• Jiang Liu sensed that the dragon head condensed from the surrounding Primal Qi and wondered what conditions had made it transform into a dragon.

Jiang Liu realized the Demon God had corrupted a Primal Qi Dragon to threaten the Human Realm and inferred how the Howling Moon Skywolf had thwarted the scheme. He split the dragon apart again and pressed deeper into the Earth Vein to find and remove the spirit-bearing object.

• Jiang Liu concluded that someone had forced the Primal Qi Dragon to devour flesh and blood, and suspected the Demon God was behind the tampering.
• Jiang Liu reasoned that the Howling Moon Skywolf had protected Qin Bailian and kept beasts and martial artists out of the passage, preventing the dragon from growing more dangerous.
• Jiang Liu decided to destroy the Primal Qi Dragon and take the Demon God's spirit-bearing object to end the scheme.
• Jiang Liu cleaved the dragon apart again and continued deeper into the Earth Vein, where he found the essence far denser than he had expected.
• Jiang Liu concluded that the Demon God had come to corrupt the Human Realm's essence but had been forced to leave by the overwhelming essence tide, and that Jiang Liu's Data Panel had exposed the scheme.

Jiang Liu tried to extract the demonic nature from the Dark Spirit Stone, the enormous spiritual object the Demon God had placed in the Human Realm, but it resisted his efforts. The Demon God watched from afar and hoped Jiang Liu would preserve the stone, whose purpose had yet to be fulfilled.

• Jiang Liu used the Heavenly Evolution Codex to draw Dark Primal Qi from the enormous stone, while stopping the Golden Giant from destroying it.
• Jiang Liu continued extracting Dark Primal Qi for a day, but the stone showed no signs of weakening and left him mentally exhausted.
• Jiang Liu stopped to recover after realizing the Heavenly Evolution Codex was having little effect on the stone.
• The Demon God revealed that he had placed the Dark Spirit Stone where the Human Realm’s Primal Qi was most concentrated to hinder its development and serve another purpose.
• The Demon God sensed Jiang Liu was reluctant to destroy the stone and smiled, believing the object might still fulfill its purpose.

Jiang Liu halted his purification of the enormous boulder after sensing a hidden formation and discovered that the Demon God had sealed it with a powerful Spirit Sealing Formation. He began investigating the formation for additional defenses and possible contingencies left by the Demon God.

• Jiang Liu recovered his Divine Sea after extracting Dark Primal Qi and realized that his purification method was wasting Heaven and Earth Essence and weakening the local Earth Vein.
• Jiang Liu resumed purifying the enormous boulder, determined to continue despite the risk of ruining the Earth Vein.
• Jiang Liu sensed a faint formation fluctuation from the boulder, stopped using the Heavenly Evolution Codex, and formed a Formation-Breaking Rune.
• The Spirit Sealing Formation on the boulder blocked Jiang Liu's rune, and he recognized that the Demon God had laid a powerful formation there.
• Jiang Liu spread his Divine Sense over the boulder to search for hidden defenses and any contingency the Demon God might have left behind.

Jiang Liu investigated the Spirit Sealing Formation around the huge stone and prepared to break it by linking it to a formation of his own. The resonance revealed that the Demon God had hidden a deeper mechanism inside, while the Demon God had strengthened the formation without realizing Jiang Liu had reached the Four Stages of Rule.

• The Demon God sensed changes in the Dark Spirit Stone and strengthened the Spirit Sealing Formation, hoping to trap Jiang Liu and turn him into a Devil Race martial practitioner.
• Jiang Liu studied the formation, identified changes that strengthened it against Human Race martial practitioners, and considered using it to locate the Demon God.
• Jiang Liu created a matching Spirit Sealing Formation with his Power of Time-Space Rule to link it to the original and gain control of it.
• The two formations resonated, revealing to Jiang Liu that the Demon God had concealed a deeply embedded hidden mechanism.

Jiang Liu trapped the Demon God’s consciousness in the black dragon, broke the Spirit Sealing Formation on the enormous stone, and refined the scattered Dark Primal Qi to obtain the Demon God’s location. The Demon God fled deeper into the void, unaware that a starstone was hidden along his path.

• Jiang Liu used his Power of Time-Space Rule to trap the black dragon and discovered the Demon God’s consciousness inside it.
• The Demon God lost contact with the Spirit Sealing Formation, worried that Jiang Liu might track him, and drove his divine hall deeper into the void.
• Jiang Liu replaced the Spirit Sealing Formation on the enormous stone, destroyed the Demon God’s formation, and trapped the stone to prevent its self-destruction.
• Jiang Liu crushed the pale-blue sphere, drew in and refined the scattered black specks of light with the Heavenly Evolution Codex, and obtained the Demon God’s location.

Jiang Liu decided to use the Soaring Sky Mirror as the base for a concealed formation to protect the damaged boulder and its Earth Vein. When he brought out the mirror, the Netherworld Master sensed it and alerted the Holy Master of the Human Realm and the Divine Realm Heavenly Lord that he had found a new route into the Battlefield Space.

• Jiang Liu explored the Earth Vein and confirmed that its primal qi eruption points were connected.
• Jiang Liu emerged and saw that life had begun returning to the area after he destroyed the strange dragon.
• Jiang Liu decided to conceal and seal off the boulder, and searched the System Space for a suitable formation base.
• Jiang Liu chose the Soaring Sky Mirror and began preparing to refine it, wary of hidden dangers left by the Netherworld Master.
• The Netherworld Master sensed the Soaring Sky Mirror, identified its appearance as a new Battlefield Space coordinate, and messaged the Holy Master of the Human Realm and the Divine Realm Heavenly Lord.

The Three Rule Lords prepared to restart the War of Rules after the Netherworld Master found a way to locate a new passage, while Jiang Liu sealed and concealed the Earth Vein before heading back to the desert. A giant wolf-like mutated beast later searched the area but found nothing.

• The Netherworld Master told the Human Race Holy Master and Divine Realm Heavenly Lord that he could locate a new passage, and the Three Rule Lords agreed to begin the War of Rules in three days.
• Jiang Liu found and removed the Netherworld Master's hidden aura from the Soaring Sky Mirror, realizing the Netherworld Master might know he had returned to the Human Realm.
• Jiang Liu engraved sealing, concealment, and warning formations onto the Soaring Sky Mirror, then used it to seal the Earth Vein and hide the cavern entrance.
• Jiang Liu left a traversal point and flew toward the desert to investigate its recent changes and the Fire-Winged Monkey's mutation.
• A giant wolf-like mutated beast arrived, searched around the concealed mountain range, and left without finding anything useful.

Jiang Liu investigated the desert ruins, suspecting they were connected to the Fire-Winged Monkeys’ unusual bloodline mutations. He discovered that Sand Devouring Serpents had also mutated, and one exploded when he examined it; he then reached for another to continue investigating.

• Jiang Liu returned to the ruins in the desert and used his Divine Sense to search the area for the cause of the Fire-Winged Monkeys’ mutations.
• Jiang Liu considered how several Fire-Winged Monkeys had unusual inherited mutations and could command savage beasts through bloodline suppression.
• Jiang Liu noticed that Sand Devouring Serpents had grown stronger and that some had developed tiny bony wings.
• Jiang Liu caught a mutated Sand Devouring Serpent and sent essence into its body to investigate, causing it to explode.
• Jiang Liu suspected his essence had triggered the explosion and reached toward another mutated Sand Devouring Serpent with a hand formed from essence.

Jiang Liu discovered that bloodline power from the ruins was causing Sand Devouring Serpents to mutate and explode when his aura approached. He uncovered blood remnants refined by Ming Bai beneath the desert and entered the buried cavern to find and destroy them.

• Jiang Liu’s Power of Time-Space Rule triggered a Sand Devouring Serpent’s self-detonation before it could enter the serpent’s body.
• Jiang Liu watched nearby Sand Devouring Serpents grow stronger by devouring the exploded serpents’ flesh and concluded that their mutations came from bloodline power hidden in the collapsed cavern.
• Jiang Liu gathered flesh and blood near the cavern and recognized its unusual bloody aura as remnants of the Bloodfall refined by Ming Bai.
• Jiang Liu used the Heavenly Evolution Codex to clear the sand and entered the exposed cavern to search for and destroy the remaining blood.
• Several figures saw the sandstorm and fled, unknowingly escaping a region teeming with Iron Wire Snakes and Sand Devouring Serpents.

Jiang Liu entered the abandoned cavern and fought Iron Wire Snakes transformed by the remnants of Ming Bai's refined blood, discovering that many had reached the Saint Realm. He pursued an intelligent snake but lost its trail, then found the ruined altar where the blood remnants had spread, though he could not sense Ming Bai's remaining blood.

• Jiang Liu killed several Saint Realm Iron Wire Snakes and realized the pollution had let them surpass their bloodline limits.
• A swarm of powerful Iron Wire Snakes attacked Jiang Liu with black mist, but his Power of Time-Space Rule barrier and pale-blue radiance destroyed many of them.
• Jiang Liu noticed that the snake directing the attack had intelligence and pursued it, fearing it could spread a mutation among its kind.
• The intelligent Iron Wire Snake escaped through the sand and earth while Jiang Liu smashed through the collapsing passages.
• Jiang Liu reached a cracked altar and found its cages and inscribed pillars destroyed, but could not detect Ming Bai's remaining blood or determine where the refined blood remnants had come from.

Jiang Liu uncovered the remaining pool of Ming Bai’s refined blood and realized it had likely caused the region’s mutations and decline. After defeating the mutated beasts guarding it, he absorbed the blood and flew upward.

• Jiang Liu suspected that Ming Bai’s refined blood, rather than the Netherworld Master, had caused the region’s Heaven and Earth Essence to dwindle and its beasts to mutate.
• Jiang Liu used the Godslayer Blade to break through an illusion and found a golden Fire-Winged Monkey, two mutated serpents, and a small pool containing the last of the blood.
• The Iron Wire Snake, Sand Devouring Serpent, and Fire-Winged Monkey attacked Jiang Liu, but he suppressed them and cut them into powder.
• Jiang Liu absorbed all the blood remaining in the pool with the Heavenly Evolution Codex, then flew upward.

Jiang Liu found the mutated Sand Devouring Serpents and Iron Wire Snakes in the desert and wiped them out with a strike before leaving. Calligraphy Saint Chen Shengru later examined the enormous palm print, recognized Jiang Liu’s power, and led the Calligraphy Studio scholars away.

• Jiang Liu found the mutated Sand Devouring Serpents and Iron Wire Snakes and decided to warn the Iron Blood Army about the danger.
• Jiang Liu crushed the snakes beneath a gigantic hand of origin energy, leaving a vast palm print in the desert.
• Chen Shengru brought Calligraphy Studio scholars to investigate the desert, where they had been excavating ancient texts and had suffered deaths from the suddenly empowered snakes.
• Chen Shengru sensed the aura left by the palm strike and identified its maker as their Holy Lord, Jiang Liu.
• Chen Shengru led the Calligraphy Studio scholars away to protect their minds from the lingering aura.

Jiang Liu returned from the desert, arranged for the Iron Blood Army to clear out the remaining mutated beasts, and prepared to pursue the Demon God in the void. He left Meteor with instructions and flew toward the Human Realm's boundary wall, hoping to use the Demon God's known coordinates before they changed.

• Jiang Liu reflected on the Calligraphy Studio's lost Confucian classics and learned that its scholars had suffered heavy losses while recovering ancient books from the desert.
• Jiang Liu returned to the city site in Mo Province and saw that Meteor had organized the construction work effectively.
• Jiang Liu told Meteor to contact the Iron Blood Army and send troops to eliminate the remaining Sand Devouring Serpents and Iron Wire Snakes.
• Jiang Liu worried that Ming Bai's refined blood had reached the Human Realm and that polluted mutated beasts could threaten its fragile defenses.
• Jiang Liu decided to pursue the Demon God in the void while he still had his coordinates, then gave Meteor instructions and flew toward the Human Realm's boundary wall.

After leaving Mo Province, Jiang Liu investigated the Heavenly Dao and learned why it had not eliminated the Nether Demonic Qi: the Golden Giant had contained the infected beasts but could not destroy them while Jiang Liu’s spiritual imprint remained. Jiang Liu kept the imprint in place and departed for Chaos Space, leaving the Golden Giant to resume cultivating.

• Nangong Xing led the replenished Iron Blood Army into the desert to clear out beasts and Human Race ruins, disappointed that Jiang Liu had already left Mo Province.
• The beast clans stayed hidden and avoided attacking the six cities, fearful of Jiang Liu after his defeat of the Fire-Winged Monkey and the Devil Race.
• Jiang Liu examined the Golden Giant and asked why it had failed to deal with the Nether Demonic Qi in the Human Realm.
• The Golden Giant explained that it had discovered the infected Divine Realm beasts but could only restrain them and contain the Nether Demonic Qi.
• Jiang Liu realized his spiritual imprint prevented the Golden Giant from eradicating the threat, but chose not to remove it until he reached the Divine Lord Realm.
• Jiang Liu summoned the coordinates of Chaos Space and disappeared, while the Golden Giant resumed cultivating.

Jiang Liu checked that the Chaos Space was safe, then followed the coordinates he had extracted from the Demon God's sealed consciousness. He silently approached the Demon God, who had relaxed in his hiding place and did not know Jiang Liu was near.

• Jiang Liu appeared at the Chaos Space and confirmed its transit points and concealed formation were intact.
• Jiang Liu left the Chaos Space and traveled through the void toward the Demon God's coordinates.
• Jiang Liu examined the sealed consciousness he had captured and used its connection to pinpoint the Demon God.
• Jiang Liu activated Nebula Shrunken Earth and silently approached the Demon God.
• The Demon God relaxed after days without disturbance, unaware that Jiang Liu was closing in.

Jiang Liu discovered the Demon God inside the true Demon God Hall and moved to capture them before the Demon God could escape. Their clash revealed the Hall’s power, while a hidden black meteorite emerged unnoticed nearby.

• Jiang Liu approached the Demon God covertly, wary of the powerful aura he had sensed earlier.
• Jiang Liu realized the Demon God possessed the true Demon God Hall, while the Hall beneath the Nether River had been a decoy used to shield the Demon God’s growth.
• Jiang Liu used the Power of Time-Space Rule to seal the Demon God Hall and tried to take the Demon God and Hall away together.
• The Demon God sensed the danger and tried to flee, but the Hall struck Jiang Liu’s seal and failed to break through.
• The Demon God recognized that Jiang Liu’s strength surpassed his own and decided he had to evade him, while Jiang Liu prepared to stop his escape.

Jiang Liu pursued the Demon God in the Demon God Hall and nearly killed him despite the Demon God breaking through to the Rule Three Realm. The Demon God realized Jiang Liu had reached the Four Stages of Rule, then stabilized his aura and made the weakened hall erupt with black light.

• Jiang Liu used Phantom Stomp to suppress the Demon God Hall and prepared to strike with the Godslayer Blade.
• The Demon God broke through to the Rule Three Realm, escaped Jiang Liu’s suppression, and dodged his first Divine Strike.
• Jiang Liu caught up with the fleeing Demon God Hall and struck it, severely damaging the hall and wounding the Demon God.
• The Demon God recognized Jiang Liu and realized the Human Race martial artist had reached the Four Stages of Rule.
• The Demon God stabilized his weakened aura, and the Demon God Hall released intense black light in all directions.

Jiang Liu pursued the fleeing Demon God and damaged the Demon God Hall, but the Void Overlord appeared and swallowed the Demon God and his hall. The Void Overlord’s attack drove Void Creatures from the Central Void Zone into the Inner Void Layer, where they threw the region into chaos.

• The Demon God fled in the Demon God Hall, and Jiang Liu caught up and struck it with the Godslayer Blade, leaving a crack.
• The Void Overlord appeared, seized the Demon God Hall, and swallowed the hall and the Demon God.
• Jiang Liu vanished through a spatial fold as the Void Overlord looked toward where he had been.
• Void Creatures in the Central Void Zone sensed the Void Overlord’s attack and fled into the Inner Void Layer.
• The incoming Void Creatures attacked local Void Creatures and Three Realms martial artists, plunging the Inner Void Layer into battle.

Jiang Liu escaped the Void Overlord’s attack and moved the Chaos Space away, fearing another encounter with the powerful being. Meanwhile, turmoil spread across the void, leaving several God Lord territories in chaos while their rulers remained missing.

• Jiang Liu escaped into the Chaos Space after the Void Overlord swallowed the Demon God and the Demon God Hall.
• Jiang Liu decided to move the Chaos Space away from the region and keep it hidden from the Heaven's Mandate Pavilion.
• Jiang Liu had the Chaos Space Consciousness move the Chaos Space while he reviewed what he knew about the void and the vanished Demon God.
• The Void Overlord’s attack stirred turmoil across the regions guarded by the God Lords, setting martial artists and Void Creatures against one another.
• The regions guarded by Rule, Karma, and God Lord Tianming descended into disorder as the three God Lords remained missing, though reports said they had not fallen.

A sudden invasion by powerful Void Creatures overwhelmed the God Lords’ territories, prompting the Divine Hall to summon every God Lord for aid. Even the three gravely wounded ancient God Lords answered the call, fearing the power of the Chaos Divine Hall and its Spirit.

• The Light God Lord fought a powerful Void Creature and realized the Central Void Zone’s creatures were trying to seize territory and could threaten his domain.
• The Divine Hall sent a transmission ordering everyone to gather around it, and the Light God Lord and the other God Lords withdrew toward its coordinates.
• The God Lord Tianming, Karma God Lord, and Rule God Lord emerged from hiding despite their injuries and ordered their subordinates to head to the Divine Hall.
• The three ancient God Lords recalled that the Divine Hall was the Chaos Divine Hall, which predated the Three Realms and remained under the control of its mysterious Spirit.

Light God Lord, Darkness God Lord, Void God Lord, God Lord Tianming, Rule God Lord, and Karma God Lord arrived at Chaos Divine Hall for a gathering. The Divine Lords assembled around the empty seat of Supreme God Lord, while the badly injured Karma God Lord’s arrival surprised them.

• Light God Lord arrived at Chaos Divine Hall, followed by Darkness God Lord, whose long-standing hostility with him remained apparent.
• Void God Lord arrived and then recognized God Lord Tianming approaching in distinctive seven-colored light, worrying that Tianming might know about his past attack.
• Rule God Lord entered and took his seat among the Divine Lords, leaving the central seat of Supreme God Lord empty.
• The Divine Lords reflected on how none of the contenders, including God Lord Tianming, Rule God Lord, and Karma God Lord, had gained Spirit of the Divine Hall’s recognition.
• Karma God Lord appeared at the entrance despite having suffered a reported fatal injury, astonishing the assembled Divine Lords.
