Sheng Xin sealed the Time Realm passage after discovering Xu Xiaoshou’s terrifying cultivation, trapping Xu Xiaoshou and Ba Zunan inside while imposing a deadly ban on flight and swords across the Five Domains. Unable to break the seal without destroying the passage, Xu Xiaoshou reached Jinren through Sheng Xin’s power and sent urgent plans for protecting the Holy Spirit Continent before their connection failed.

• Sheng Xin realized Xu Xiaoshou might be connected to Dao Qiongchang or Dao Ancestor Yi Ji, then sealed the Time Realm passage with Heaven and Earth Sealing Refinement.
• Sheng Xin summoned a Saint Ancestor Dharma Image that forbade flight and swords throughout the Five Domains, threatening death to anyone who defied the order.

Xu Xiaoshou began an Ancestral God Law-Extinguishing Tribulation in the Time Realm, hoping to gain the strength to break free before Sheng Xin could act. The tribulation escalated into the Thirty-Two Array Groups, and the War Ancestor urged him to endure as the chapter ended.

• Xu Xiaoshou rejected Kong Yuhen’s suggestion to wait for Ba Zunan and prepared to undergo tribulation while the War Ancestor guarded him.

The Tree of Memory took root through the City of the Dead Futu as Jiang Nayi received the Devil Ancestor’s order to guide three ancient sword cultivators into attacking Sheng Xin. You Tu answered the call and confronted Sheng Xin, while Wen Ting prepared to draw his sword and Gou Wuyue refused to act.

• The primordial purple aura transformed Sui Yin’s Life Seed into the Tree of Memory, which spread its roots through the City of the Dead Futu and the Crossroads Corner.
• Jiang Nayi tried to strike Zero but was diverted into a black space, where the Devil Ancestor ordered him to guide You Tu, Wen Ting, and Gou Wuyue to attack Sheng Xin.
• The Dao Ancestor recognized Jiang Nayi and promised to conceal his actions, while Jinren reasoned that the Dao Ancestor had to cooperate with the Devil Ancestor’s plan.
• You Tu defied August’s pleas, leaped toward the Central Region, summoned Taicheng, and challenged Sheng Xin to test his edge.
• Wen Ting chose to draw on Sword Hemp’s power and prepared to leave the sheath, while Gou Wuyue resisted the call and retreated behind the Nanli Realm.
• You Tu revealed his identity to the Five Domains, and Mei Suren watched anxiously as Sheng Xin asked the old swordsman to state his name.

• Wen Ting appeared beside the Time Realm passage and struck Sheng Xin with Frost Blows Over the Mountain, piercing the Saint Ancestor Dharma Image.
• Wen Ting froze the manifestation and severed it with the frost giant sword, while Sheng Xin identified the weakness in his shift between nothingness and existence.
• Sheng Xin sent the Extinguishing Dao Profound Ruler toward Wen Ting’s tribulation, but Wen Ting summoned a Mysterious Gate and forced the weapon back into the East Sea.
• Wen Ting let Sheng Xin’s Golden Profound Finger pierce his throat so his sword could sever Sheng Xin’s arm and disrupt the Heaven and Earth Sealing Refinement.
• Wen Ting began forming the third-realm Great Dream of a Thousand Autumns, but Sheng Xin stopped him with the Soul-Fixing Eye and sealed him inside the Mother Coffin of Fetal Origin.
• As Sheng Xin prepared to resume sealing the Time Realm passage, someone below shouted, “Are kings, marquises, generals, and ministers born to their stations?!”

Cao Erzhu attacked Sheng Xin as Gou Wuyue witnessed the sudden death of Jiang Nayi and the brief appearance of a rampaging golden Limit Giant linked to Xu Xiaoshou’s tribulation. Gou Wuyue pieced together that Xu Xiaoshou was in the Time Realm and decided it offered his long-awaited chance to transcend.

• Cao Erzhu transformed into purple lightning and joined You Tu and Wen Ting in attacking Sheng Xin, drawing disbelief from the Five Domains.
• Jinren’s connection to his original body surged as the body was struck down by the Ancestral God Law-Extinguishing Tribulation, and Jinren lost control of Jiang Nayi.
• Jiang Nayi returned to himself beneath the Tree of Memory, but its power crushed a blade of grass before golden berserk energy erupted and killed him.
• A golden Limit Giant appeared beside the Tree of Memory, roared, and vanished as its power was guided away; Sheng Xin and Zero realized Xu Xiaoshou was still crossing tribulation in the Time Realm.
• Gou Wuyue analyzed the battle’s events and concluded that Xu Xiaoshou was in the Time Realm, where the tribulation might let him pursue the Dao without interference.
• Gou Wuyue suppressed the Voice of Nulan’s resonance and resolved to seize what he believed was his only chance to transcend.

Cao Erzhu challenged Sheng Xin and used the Ancestor Nian Divine Network to summon Kui Leihan as the Divine Firmament Chief, who fought Sheng Xin to protect his son. Sheng Xin brought forth the Law-Sundering Mountain to suppress Kui Leihan, but Kui Leihan donned the God Tribulation Armament and declared that Sheng Xin would die.

• Cao Erzhu charged Sheng Xin, summoned the Ancestral God Law-Extinguishing Tribulation with a cleansed Ancestor God Godhood, and awakened the Ancestor Nian Divine Network through his Divine Firmament Chief.
• Kui Leihan appeared through Cao Erzhu’s Divine Firmament Chief, struck Sheng Xin with the Heaven-Shattering Hammer, and protected Cao Erzhu from further attacks.
• Sheng Xin used the Demonic Sea of Sinful Desire to drive Cao Erzhu and cultivators across the Five Domains into cultivation deviation, but Kui Leihan purged the demonic influence with tribulation lightning.
• Kui Leihan absorbed the Ancestral God Law-Extinguishing Tribulation and forced Sheng Xin back before Sheng Xin summoned one hundred thousand blood-red Law-Sundering Mountains to suppress him.

• Gou Wuyue gathered Principle Swords from across the Five Domains into the Single-Character Grand Rule Sword and slashed toward the Time Realm passage.

Gou Wuyue opened two Mysterious Gates and unleashed the Single-Character Grand Rule Sword, but Sheng Xin trapped him in the Time Realm with an inner demon tribulation. As Sheng Xin turned to the remaining battle, Ancestor Shou opened a Guidance Gate to the Apricot Realm and called the Five Domains to chant his name, excluding four named ancestors.

• Zero judged that Gou Wuyue’s True Void lacked Self-Discernment and gave him little chance of successfully reaching Zeroing.
• Sheng Xin attacked the Time Realm passage with the Extinguishing Dao Profound Ruler, forcing Gou Wuyue to return and use Realm Shift: True-Void Crossing to open a second Mysterious Gate.
• Gou Wuyue fled toward the Time Realm passage as his Single-Character Grand Rule Sword destroyed Sheng Xin’s incarnation and cut through Heaven and Earth Sealing Refinement.

Xu Xiaoshou demanded that the Four Ancestors address him as Ancestor Shou, using his Sea of Intent Dao to expose Sui Yin hiding in the Tree of Memory. As he prepared to force the concealed Medicine Ancestor to appear, he secretly overheard Medicine Ancestor and Sheng Xin negotiate an alliance against him, and Sheng Xin agreed.

• Xu Xiaoshou asked Sheng Xin to call him Ancestor Shou, and Sheng Xin complied without detecting any mark or other effect.
