After Li ChunJun’s battle with the Heavenly Palace and Wuji Sect, powers across the Mystic Yellow Great World debated his strength and the threat of the Wuji Sect. The Supreme Void Sword Sect chose to cultivate goodwill with Li ChunJun, while the Celestial Qin Immortal Dynasty and other outside powers stayed neutral, and his name spread through the Void God Realm.

She gave him Void Source Crystal for his Dharma Idol, and after a year of preparation, Li ChunJun was ready to condense it.

• Liu Yu told Li ChunJun that the Dominion Dao Codex required absolute mastery of the mind and might offer a path beyond the limits of conventional cultivation.

• Li ChunJun calculated that refining available resources could raise his Mana to fifty thousand years and his combat strength to 300,000.

• The watching cultivators congratulated Li ChunJun, while some privately felt disappointed that he had not forged the strongest Dharma Idol.

After Li ChunJun forged a Void Storm Dharma Idol, Yuan Taiji tried to recruit Long Xingyu to help kill him in the Dark Horned Prison, tempting him with a chance to reach the Dao Integration Realm. Long Xingyu agreed to meet Yuan Taiji in one month, while Li ChunJun received a rare Flame Phoenix treasure from Jiang Zuohe.

• Long Xingyu agreed to meet Yuan Taiji in one month at Nine Heavens Pavilion in Creation Immortal City.

• Li ChunJun activated the cultivation area's protective formations, swallowed the prepared Dao Pills, and began refining them into Dao Comprehension and Mana.

Li ChunJun began a year-long seclusion to raise his Mana and Dao Comprehension by refining Dao Pills, while Dragon Elephant Emperor Lord arrived to demand revenge for the Heavenly Palace’s losses. Demon Subduing Great Emperor revealed Li ChunJun’s ties to a Quasi Tenth Order powerhouse, then steered Dragon Elephant into sending his own followers to the Dark Horned Prison.

The Void God Realm gathered at the Dark Horned Prison to witness Li ChunJun’s pact-bound battle against the Wuji Sect and Heavenly Palace. Li ChunJun arrived with the Heaven, Earth, and Human Three Saint Venerables, while Liu Yu’s display of overwhelming power silenced the assembled factions; he then led everyone into the prison.

• The Wuji Sect arrived aboard its Chaos warship with four or five Supreme Saint-level auras and fifty or sixty elite Dharma Forms.

• Li ChunJun arrived through a passage opened by Liu Yu, whose Quasi Tenth Order power awed the gathered cultivators and silenced Dragon Elephant Emperor Lord.
• Li ChunJun calmly announced that everyone had arrived and entered the Dark Horned Prison first.

• Dragon Elephant Emperor Lord abandoned his plan to capture Li ChunJun himself and sent his allies into Dark Horned Prison instead.

• As Heavenly Palace’s Dharma Idols tried to avoid Li ChunJun and regroup, he charged into the devouring zone with his Void Storm Dharma Idol.
• Puhua Honored One urged the Cloud Mountain Three Honored Ones to hold Li ChunJun off, but they led their followers toward the prison’s center instead.
• Li ChunJun swept through the scattered Heavenly Palace Dharma Idols, shattering several and causing the first deaths in Dark Horned Prison.

Li ChunJun slaughtered Dharma Idols from the Heavenly Palace while they fled toward Dark Horned Prison’s Balanced Zone, and he calculated that their deaths could help him reach Level 40. As the battle shifted to the central zone, he attacked the disorganized Heavenly Palace forces while Wuji Sect formed a Battle Formation and joined the fight.

• Li ChunJun killed four Dharma Idols, including Honored One Tai Long, and gained about 140,000 experience points.
• Li ChunJun judged that the remaining Dharma Idols posed a threat if they attacked together, so he aimed to raise his Life Level to 40.
• Li ChunJun pursued another group of six Dharma Idols, and more than ten Dharma Idols died before the survivors reached the Balanced Zone.
• The Heavenly Palace forces split into Puhua Honored One’s sixty-three-member Battle Formation and a disorganized group of seventy-seven led by the Blood Eagle Three Brothers.
• Wuji Sect’s fifty-nine Dharma Idols combined their formation to shatter Li ChunJun’s probing attack, so he turned on the disorganized Heavenly Palace group.
• After the Blood Eagle Three Brothers rallied their allies to attack Li ChunJun, Long Xingyu urged Wuji Sect to act, and its fifty-nine Dharma Idols charged into the battle.

Outside the Dark Horned Prison, the factions waited for the devouring force to intensify while Li ChunJun fought inside, and the Heavenly Palace, Wuji Sect, and Li ChunJun each withheld their trump cards. Two days passed with the battle unresolved, as the factions tried to wear one another down and waited for the prison to become inescapable.

• The Dragon Elephant Emperor Lord learned that Tai Long and many other Heavenly Palace Dharma Idols had died, and concluded that Li ChunJun was hiding a powerful trump card.
• The Wuji Sect's fifty-nine Dharma Idols formed a Battle Formation and clashed with Li ChunJun, whose Void Storm Dharma Idol appeared close to breaking.
• The Blood Eagle Three Brothers ordered the Heavenly Palace's forces to retreat defensively while Li ChunJun hunted their isolated Dharma Idols.
• Long Xingyu and Yuan Shaoyang realized that Li ChunJun was waiting for the devouring force to trap everyone, while the Heavenly Palace's leaders were also concealing their plans.
• Long Xingyu recognized that the factions were waiting for one another to reveal their trump cards, but felt unable to escape or risk acting first.
• The battle continued for two days, with the Wuji Sect pursuing Li ChunJun, the Heavenly Palace defending, and Li ChunJun attacking scattered opponents.
