Lei Dong fought the grievously wounded Black Winged Devil King with his Ghost Kings and Soul Devouring Shadow Tiger, but the Devil King forced him into a desperate head-on clash.

Tantai Bingyun carried the gravely injured Lei Dong toward the Yaksha Sea on Hong Luan, whose phoenix bloodline had let her reach Nascent Soul level. There, Winged God Clan guards tried to bar their way and accused Tantai Bingyun of possessing a relic made from one of their people, leaving a fight about to break out.

• Zana examined Lei Dong and said his injuries were extremely severe, the Soul of Water Separation’s energy was nearly exhausted, and he could only keep Lei Dong alive a little longer.
• When Tantai Bingyun pleaded for another way to save Lei Dong, Zana said there was a way, but hesitated.

Tantai Bingyun used the Yaksha King's dual-cultivation manual to help Lei Dong recover, and their relationship grew closer. Once he had improved, Lei Dong warned the Yaksha King that the East Sea Yaksha Tribe would be destroyed within a hundred years and began explaining the threat behind the Supreme Sect's actions.

• The Yaksha King revealed that an unusual two-person cultivation manual could help heal Lei Dong, and Tantai Bingyun agreed to try it with him.

• Lei Dong's cultivation advanced toward a breakthrough, and he and Tantai Bingyun grew closer as he recovered.
• Lei Dong went to see the Yaksha King and warned him that the East Sea Yaksha Tribe would be wiped out within a hundred years.
• When the Yaksha King and his elders reacted angrily, Lei Dong asked whether the Supreme Sect had truly paid such a great price to bring in the Winged God Clan merely to destroy the Yin Sha Sect.

Lei Dong persuaded the Yaksha King that the Supreme Sect and Winged God Clan threatened both the Yaksha Sea and Kang Prefecture, and proposed securing help from the Asura Race through the Netherworld Ghost Emperor. The Yaksha King agreed to hear Lei Dong’s plan for a lasting alliance, leaving Lei Dong relieved that his persuasion had worked.

• Lei Dong warned the Yaksha King that the Supreme Sect and Winged God Clan would eventually target the Yaksha Tribe after Kang Prefecture was subdued.

• The Yaksha King explained that the blockade prevented him from traveling to the Asura Domain and questioned whether Lei Dong could secure an alliance.
• Lei Dong revealed that the Netherworld Ghost Emperor had promised him a favor and showed the Yaksha King the Ghost Emperor’s token.
• The Yaksha King accepted that the Ghost Emperor could win the Asura Race’s respect, and Lei Dong proposed a lasting, mutually beneficial alliance instead of spending the favor on one crisis.

Lei Dong proposed uniting Kang Prefecture’s sects and forming a resource-sharing alliance with the Yaksha Tribe and the Netherworld Ghost Emperor, and the Yaksha King agreed to join if Lei Dong could persuade the Ghost Emperor. The story then shifted to the Yaksha King confronting Bright King Ajana and her Winged people for building a Sky City in Yaksha territory.

• The Yaksha King led tens of thousands of Yaksha to surround the Winged people’s unfinished Sky City and demanded that Bright King Ajana tear it down.

• Ajana rallied the Winged God Clan and warned Yaksha King Zana that she would fight rather than abandon her orders to seal the Yaksha Sea.

Lei Dong’s allied forces attacked the Hehuan Sect headquarters, and he used the Earth Giants’ bombardment to lure Immortal Demon Venerable out of the Mountain Protecting Formation. Immortal Demon Venerable was badly wounded and surrounded, and Lei Dong ordered him killed even after he surrendered.

• Lei Dong signaled the Earth Giants, whose coordinated Gravity Technique dragged True Lord Xuanyuan from the sky and slammed him into a crater.
• Countless swift insects surged from the soil toward True Lord Xuanyuan’s crater.

Lei Dong was nearly killed by True Lord Xuanyuan, but the Heavenly Devil took the blow for him and her Nascent Soul disintegrated. As Lei Dong grieved, a mysterious voice declared that time was moving backward, and the battle’s events began to reverse.

• Lei Dong broke down in grief and roared as he held the Heavenly Devil’s body.
• A mysterious voice declared that time was moving backward, and the shockwaves and Lei Dong’s movements reversed.

The Netherworld Ghost Emperor reversed time to save the Heavenly Demon from True Lord Xuanyuan’s fatal punch, and Lei Dong led the pursuit as Xuanyuan fled toward Supreme Sect reinforcements. With the opposing forces gathered, Lei Dong appeared willing to negotiate, though he secretly sought to keep Xuanyuan from escaping without consequences.

• The Netherworld Ghost Emperor used the Nether God True Word Technique to reverse time and preserve the Heavenly Demon’s last thread of life, while Lei Dong vowed to stop True Lord Xuanyuan from escaping.
• Lei Dong, Xiao You, and their allied forces pursued the injured Xuanyuan, with Xiao You harassing him as he fled toward Supreme Sect reinforcements.
• Dozens of Nascent Soul experts and hundreds of Golden Core Cultivators arrived from the Supreme Sect’s warships, and Lei Dong called Xiao You back rather than risk a reckless clash.
• Xuanyuan proposed that the Supreme Sect withdraw from Kang Prefecture and offered compensation, while Lei Dong asked how much he could offer.

• Lei Dong asked about the duel’s rules and learned that he could use bound servants and magical resources, but not armies or subordinates.
• Lei Dong requested that the arena bring in his blood-bound Ghost Servant, Xiao You.

Lei Dong summoned Xiao You into the Arena, where she revealed the limits of her father's time-reversal technique and challenged True Lord Xuanyuan. The duel began, and Xiao You deployed the Netherworld Black Sha Formation, forcing Xuanyuanzi to retreat as he recognized its power.

• Lei Dong summoned Xiao You and learned from her that the Netherworld Ghost Emperor would be weakened after using time reversal to save Sister Mu.
• Lei Dong and Xiao You confronted Xuanyuanzi, who threatened to torment Lei Dong and warned Xiao You to leave the Arena.
• The Arena Spirit began the duel to the death, and Xuanyuanzi charged Lei Dong.
• Xiao You unleashed nine banners of the Netherworld Black Sha Formation, and Xuanyuanzi retreated after sensing their terrifying power.
• The Arena Spirit identified the formation, and Xuanyuanzi recognized it as an ancient treasure containing nine Spirit Transmutation-level Netherworld monsters.

Trapped in the Fair Arena with Xuanyuanzi, Lei Dong realized the Netherworld Black Sha Formation could only delay their inevitable fight. With few chances of winning, he swallowed the essence of a pureblooded Black Winged Devil King, gambling that he could resist possession and defeat Xuanyuanzi.

• Xiao You used the Netherworld Black Sha Formation to protect Lei Dong and herself while Xuanyuanzi explained that the arena's life-or-death battle could not be stopped.
• Lei Dong learned that the arena's time laws could leave them trapped for a year or two, and Xiao You warned she could maintain the formation only that long.
• Lei Dong discovered that the Soul Sealing Ball holding the Black Winged Devil King's essence might give him a chance against Xuanyuanzi.
• Xuanyuanzi warned that the Devil King could possess Lei Dong, but the Arena Spirit said it would declare Lei Dong the loser if his consciousness vanished.
• Lei Dong pierced the Soul Sealing Ball and swallowed the Devil King's essence, choosing to risk possession rather than face certain defeat.

As the struggle continued, he witnessed a vision of the Devil Emperor battling the Devil Venerable Asura, the Heavenly Emperor, and the Mother of All Spirits over the Chaos Origin.

• Xiao You warned Xuanyuanzi that their father would avenge them if Lei Dong and she died, while Xuanyuanzi feared the consequences of Lei Dong losing control.
• Lei Dong resisted the Black Winged Devil King's consciousness as it attacked him in his sea of consciousness, and the Emperor Devil Seed appeared on his forehead.

• The Emperor Devil Seed empowered Lei Dong's divine sense, preventing the Black Winged Devil King's consciousness from devouring it and bringing a flood of information into his mind.
• Lei Dong witnessed the masked Devil Emperor lead an army against the Alien Races and slaughter countless enemies before three powerful figures confronted him.
• The Devil Venerable Asura, the Heavenly Emperor, and the Mother of All Spirits demanded the Chaos Origin, and the Devil Emperor refused before they attacked him.

Lei Dong received the Devil Emperor’s second inheritance and learned that the ancient emperor had also been a transmigrator whose soul was tied to the laws of time, space, and chaos. He acquired the Devil Emperor True Word Technique and began to understand how it altered laws, leaving him with a potential new tool against Xuanyuanzi.

• The Devil Emperor appeared through the inheritance and explained that Lei Dong’s unusual soul had allowed him to resonate with the Chaos Pagoda.
• The Devil Emperor revealed that he had come from another world and described how all beings remained bound by the universe’s laws.

• The Emperor Devil Seed implanted the technique’s principles and memories into Lei Dong, causing brief but intense pain.
• Lei Dong studied the inheritance and realized the True Word Technique could edit local laws without deep mastery, though using it caused backlash.

Lei Dong received the Devil Emperor’s inheritance, including powerful techniques and clues about the Chaos Pagoda, but the revelations raised more questions about his rebirth and the coming calamity. As the Black Winged Devil King attacked his consciousness again, Lei Dong found resolve in protecting the people he cared about and began to understand how willpower could shape reality.

• The Devil Emperor’s inheritance gave Lei Dong King's Reign Over the World, Immortal Slaying Finger, and true essence armor, while the Devil Emperor True Word Technique remained beyond his current Mind Power.
• The Old Devil Emperor said the next inheritance seal would open when Lei Dong’s Mind Power reached peak Spirit Transmutation, leaving Lei Dong pondering the Chaos Pagoda, the Chaos Origin, and his unexplained rebirth.
• The Black Winged Devil King’s consciousness resumed its assault, and Lei Dong resolved to fight for his survival and protect those he loved.
• Lei Dong counterattacked with Mind Power, resisting the Devil King’s illusions and transforming his power into a giant beast and a blade.
• As they fought, Lei Dong realized that willpower joined faith and Mind Power and could affect the Laws, then commanded, “I say: stop!”
