Li Yi divided the Jade Blood Beads among the factions, then led the cultivators into Ghost Gate Pass, the first of the Nine Trials of the Yellow Springs. Inside the fog-filled pass, divine sense could not penetrate, so Li Yi ordered the Witch God Sect to form a formation and move together.

• Li Yi’s overwhelming aura forced the two Black Robed Figures to withdraw, and he took 1,010 Jade Blood Beads before scattering the rest among the factions.

• When the cultivators found that divine sense could not penetrate the white fog, Li Yi ordered the Witch God Sect to form a formation, and the other factions did likewise.

• Li Yi’s group reached six ancient gates inscribed with the names Soul Severing Ravine, White Bone Palace, Black Desert, Life Seizing Arena, Nether Sea, and Corpse City.

Li Yi chose the Black Desert trial and led his group into its escalating attacks, while Jian Fan's group was driven into a desperate retreat through Corpse City. The other factions also faced dangerous trials.

• Jian Fan and his companions fled a horde of mostly lord-level zombies, some wielding Peerless Fierce Soldiers.

• Li Yi and his party fought their way through the Black Desert, collecting more than a million pieces of its nearly unbreakable black mineral.

• The severed head melted into black runes, which restored the Black Sand Giant’s head, and Li Yi ordered everyone to fight on.

Li Yi and his allies fought the Black Sand Giant, and Li Yi used Yellow Springs Soul Crystals to power a devastating attack that destroyed it. As Li Yi recovered, the others gathered the giant’s treasures, while Nangong Bei fixated on an ancient-looking dildo.

• Mirror Demon, Sars, Yu Hua, and the Witch God Sect cultivators collected the treasures that burst from the giant, while Nangong Bei begged to inspect an ancient-looking dildo.
• Li Yi recovered from the strain and woke about half an hour later.

Li Yi claimed the complete King Armament called the Hurricane Artifact and learned of its immense power and origins. He led the group out of the Black Desert and toward a formation-covered altar in the empty forest that appeared to lead to the next trial.

• Mirror Demon freed Nangong Bei and gave Li Yi several hundred pieces of black ore and an ancient artifact.

• Li Yi and his group arrived at the White Bone Palace and found the Woman in Red fighting a mountain-sized skeleton while her allies battled a skeletal army.
• Li Yi proposed that his group help in exchange for half the treasures and details about the previous trial, and the Woman in Red agreed after asking for information about his trial in return.
• Mirror Demon and the Woman in Red joined forces against the giant skeleton while Sars, Yuhua, and the Witch God Sect cultivators helped defeat the skeletal army.
• Mirror Demon and the Woman in Red destroyed the giant skeleton, and the assembled cultivators crushed the remaining skeletons.
• A stone platform rose bearing three scripture scrolls and White Bone Beads, and Li Yi claimed two scrolls and a hundred beads before both sides divided the treasures.

Li Yi and the Woman in Red divided the White Bone treasures before learning that the Eternal Sacred Palace lay beyond a perilous lake filled with powerful hidden auras. After a long standoff, the cultivators agreed to cross together, and Li Yi warned the Witch God Sect members to be careful as they set out.

• Li Yi, the Woman in Red, and Mirror Demon absorbed the White Bone scripture, which revealed itself to be a Divine Weapon Seed, while their cultivators refined White Bone Beads and gained strength.
• Li Yi and the Woman in Red exchanged information about the Black Desert and the Life Seizing Arena, then led their groups through the altar to the shore of a lake facing the Eternal Sacred Palace.
• Jian Fan and the remaining cultivators arrived, and Li Yi noticed their killing intent while the groups hesitated to enter the dangerous lake.
• After an hour of waiting, the Woman in Red proposed that everyone cross together and that anyone who attacked an ally be executed by the group.
• Li Yi and the other cultivators agreed, and Li Yi warned the Witch God Sect members as everyone began flying over the lake.

Li Yi and the others crossed a deadly lake whose water cursed cultivators on contact, only to be confronted by monstrous guardians and four Sovereigns turned into puppets. As the monsters unleashed a sweeping attack, the group faced an overwhelming threat with the Sovereigns’ maker still unknown.

• Li Yi ordered Mirror Demon to shelter the Witch God Sect cultivators in an unstable pocket dimension before the group set out across the lake.
• Li Yi used Hurricane Scythe to destroy a water dragon while Mirror Demon, Sars, and Yuhua defended themselves from the lake’s attacks.
• The group reached the lake’s center, where countless grotesque monsters erupted from the water.
• The cultivators recognized four motionless figures as Sovereigns and realized they had been turned into puppets.
• The Black-Robed Envoys suspected the Underworld Emperor had created the puppets as a trap for the Holy Clan.
• The monsters launched a vast torrent attack at Li Yi and the other cultivators.

Li Yi, Mirror Demon, Sars, Yuhua, and the other factions fought through the monsters surrounding them, suffering catastrophic losses before breaking free. As the survivors prepared to face the four Sovereigns, their leaders revealed powerful treasures and other trump cards, including an ancient talisman bearing Imperial Blood and a damaged Extreme Dao Emperor Artifact.

• Li Yi ordered an attack, and Mirror Demon formed his mirrors into a spinning drill that tore through the monsters while Li Yi, Sars, and Yuhua supported him.
• Jian Fan's group, the Woman in Red, Thousand Fire Monarch, and other cultivators used their powers to kill monsters and escape the encirclement.

• Thousand Fire Monarch revealed a cluster of fire carrying Sovereign might, while the other cultivators displayed their own methods.

Four Sovereigns divided the cultivators into groups and struck them with overwhelming force, leaving only a handful of survivors in each. Li Yi used the Dark Left Hand to survive the white-robed Sovereign’s sword attack, and the chapter ended after the Sovereigns departed and the survivors recovered with Yellow Springs Soul Crystals.

• The four Sovereigns split the cultivators into four groups with energy walls, killing more than ten people in the process.
• The white-robed Sovereign unleashed a vast sword attack on Li Yi’s group, and Li Yi shielded Mirror Demon, Sars, and Yuhua with the Dark Left Hand.
• The attack killed most of Li Yi’s group and left Li Yi badly injured, while Mirror Demon collected Yellow Springs Soul Crystals from the fallen cultivators.
• Mirror Demon gave Li Yi eight Yellow Springs Soul Crystals, which Li Yi absorbed to heal most of his injuries.
• Li Yi saw that the other groups had also suffered devastating losses, including Jian Fan’s group, which had only six survivors.
• The energy walls crumbled, and the four Sovereigns left in different directions, allowing the surviving cultivators to breathe again.

After the Sovereigns left, Li Yi and the other cultivators raced to claim the treasures in the Eternal Sacred Palace. The half Blood Arrow led Li Yi away from the central hall to a sealed chamber containing its missing half, and Mirror Demon began breaking the seal.

• Li Yi led Mirror Demon, Sars, and Yuhua into the Eternal Sacred Palace as the other cultivators rushed in behind them.
• Li Yi chose the central hall, but his half Blood Arrow suddenly pointed toward a distant side hall, so he changed course and took his companions with him.
• The half Blood Arrow flew ahead through the side hall, drawing Li Yi and his companions into a blood-red space.
• Li Yi discovered the arrow’s other half sealed behind a talisman-covered barrier and called Mirror Demon to break it.
• Mirror Demon struck the barrier with sword light, cracking several talismans even though the seal remained intact.

Li Yi reunited the two halves of the Blood Arrow, discovered its enormous true form and spatial abilities, and used it to shelter the Witch God Sect cultivators. He then headed for the central main hall, where the other cultivators were collecting Yellow Springs Soul Crystals and precious treasures.

• The two halves of the Blood Arrow fused above the Eternal Sacred Palace and then shrank into Li Yi's hand.
• Li Yi examined the Blood Arrow and found that it held many inner spaces and could appear anywhere within three thousand miles of him.

• The Woman in Red, Thousand Fire Monarch, and other cultivators slowly advanced through the hall's restrictions while gathering treasures.
• Li Yi, Mirror Demon, Sars, Yuhua, and the others arrived at the central main hall.

Li Yi and his companions searched the central main hall, collecting Yellow Springs Soul Crystals and other treasures before discovering a Humanoid Soul Crystal that sent every faction into a deadly scramble. A monarch briefly seized it, but the others killed him with their combined attacks, and the crystal fell back into the pool.

• Li Yi and his companions entered the middle section of the central main hall and found dozens of Yellow Springs Soul Crystals after Mirror Demon broke through its restrictions.
• Li Yi, Mirror Demon, Sars, and Yuhua destroyed more restrictions, gathering nearly a hundred additional Yellow Springs Soul Crystals and the Xuanming Shadow Spear as Li Yi healed his Dark Left Hand injuries.
• After an hour, Li Yi had collected nearly four hundred Yellow Springs Soul Crystals, and the gathered factions discovered a Humanoid Soul Crystal in the pool at the hall’s center.
• A monarch seized the Humanoid Soul Crystal, prompting Jian Fan, Lang Yue, Ling Xiao, the Woman in Red, Thousand Fire Monarch, and the others to attack him.
• The crowd’s combined assault blasted the monarch to pieces, and the Humanoid Soul Crystal fell back into the pool.

Li Yi and his allies used the fight over the Humanoid Soul Crystal to reach the Life Seizing Arena altar and escape the central hall. Jian Fan and the others realized Li Yi had prepared the move in advance and were left furious.

• Li Yi located six altars beneath the pool, and Mirror Demon returned with information about the other trials.
• Li Yi told Mirror Demon, Sars, and Yuhua to prepare to move.
• Mirror Demon seized the Humanoid Soul Crystal and threw it to a Black Robed Envoy, drawing the gathered monarchs into attacking him.
• The Black Robed Envoy used a blue talisman to survive the combined assault, while the shockwave badly injured the attackers.
• Mirror Demon stole the crystal again and reached the Life Seizing Arena altar, where he, Li Yi, Sars, and Yuhua vanished in a beam of light.
• Jian Fan, the Woman in Red, and the Thousand Fire Monarch realized Li Yi had outmaneuvered them and watched his disappearance with hostility.

Li Yi used his Power of Samsara to protect his group in the Life Seizing Arena, where Magic Power was suppressed, and lured Jian Fan and his pursuers into repeated attacks by the arena’s beasts. After days of losses, Li Yi confronted and killed the five survivors, though one envoy warned that the Ninth Saint Son would seek revenge.

• Jian Fan, the black-robed envoys, Lang Yue, and the others pursued Li Yi into the Life Seizing Arena, while the Woman in Red chose not to follow.
• Li Yi discovered that the arena suppressed Magic Power but not the Power of Samsara, and he carried Mirror Demon, Sars, and Yuhua away before the pursuers arrived.
• Li Yi used a giant egg and the scent of its yolk to draw ferocious birds onto Jian Fan’s group, forcing the black-robed envoy to spend a trump card to defeat them.
• Li Yi repeatedly lured beasts toward the pursuers, who used up their trump cards as most of their group died over several days.
• Li Yi confronted the five survivors, revealed that Samsara sustained his power, and cut Jian Fan, both black-robed envoys, Lang Yue, and the Thousand Fire Monarch to pieces.

Li Yi and the others entered the World-Separating Passage, where they relived their past lives. Li Yi discovered that many of his lives had been powerful cultivators who opposed Hongjun and the Sages, then reached a dark abyss as immense beings gathered in the Underworld Realm.

• Li Yi collected Jian Fan and the others’ treasures, then led his companions to the teleportation altar and into the World-Separating Passage.
• Li Yi and the Witch God Sect cultivators sat down and experienced memories of their past lives.
• Li Yi learned that several of his past lives had been powerful cultivators who defied Hongjun and the Sages, and he suspected his transmigrations were no coincidence.
• Li Yi reached the end of the path, saw a pair of Demon Eyes across an abyss, and began absorbing the information they sent him.
• A Demonic Shadow and a gold-and-black figure emerged in the passage, while a yellow-robed figure appeared before them and a vast will forced the Underworld Realm’s cultivators to flee.
• Three eerie voices called out, “Wanggu!”, “Demon God!”, and “Underworld King!”

As the Underworld Emperor and two other figures unleashed their power, the Eternal World was plunged into darkness and the ancient Stone Eye opened. The three Emperors reached the Nangong Family’s Wordless Heavenly Tablet, where they began lifting it.

• The Main Body sensed the three figures in the mysterious space-time and projected enormous silver eyes over the Underworld Realm.
• The Underworld Emperor, the black Demonic Shadow, and the golden-black figure unleashed their auras across the Eternal World, prompting ancient powerhouses and the Holy Clan’s five figures to react.
• The Stone Eye in the Abyss of Falling opened and sent an axe-light tearing a vast passage through space.
• The three Emperors appeared above the Nangong Family’s Wordless Heavenly Tablet, and the family’s Sovereigns and cultivators knelt before the black Demonic Shadow.
• The black Demonic Shadow freed the old Sovereign from his duty, and the three Emperors became torrents of runes and slowly lifted the tablet.

Li Yi absorbed the power of his past lives in the World-Separating Passage, merged with the Demon Eye, and emerged far stronger than before. Outside the Underworld Realm, he killed two Eight Tribulation Monarchs who demanded the humanoid crystal, leaving the Woman in Red too frightened to challenge him.

• The Nangong Family’s stone tablet rose from the earth, transformed, and was carried into a lightning-filled whirlpool as turmoil began to stir across the Eternal World.
• Li Yi awakened his past-life powers, called the Demon Eye back, and merged with its Great Emperor-like figure before suppressing his aura to Peak Saint Venerable.
• The World-Separating Passage shattered, and Li Yi and the Witch God Sect cultivators teleported out of the Underworld Realm.
• The Woman in Red and the other waiting cultivators demanded the humanoid crystal, while two Eight Tribulation Monarchs attacked Li Yi.
• Li Yi killed the two Monarchs with a single strike each, and the Woman in Red abandoned any thought of taking the humanoid crystal.

After surviving the unprecedented Law Divine Tribulation by devouring its lightning, Li Yi learned that the seven great factions had attacked the Witch God Sect. He returned to the battlefield, where his arrival lifted his allies’ morale and threw the enemy into disarray.

• Li Yi and more than eight hundred Witch God Sect cultivators faced the Law Divine Tribulation, and Li Yi split its first lightning bolt with the Green Lotus Ancient Sword.
• Li Yi summoned the Blood Arrow, devoured the lightning and tribulation clouds as a nine-headed Blood Dragon, and survived the tribulation.
• Mirror Demon told Li Yi that the seven great factions had mobilized their armies against the Witch God Sect, so Li Yi set out for the battlefield.

• Li Yi carved a path of blood through the battlefield, turning enemy cultivators into clouds of blood mist.

Li Yi returned to the Witch God Sect as the war against the Seven Great Powers approached its decisive battle. Three days after both sides prepared, their armies clashed, and Li Yi and the other Monarchs engaged the enemy leaders.

• Li Yi and the Moon Emperor faced each other as their armies charged into battle.
• The Mirror Demon attacked Larson, Tie Lin, and Li Xiaotian while Sars, General Jiang Shuai, Hong He Monarch, Lan Yue Monarch, and others engaged their opponents.
• The Moon Emperor blocked the Main Body's attack with a purple bronze cauldron, and Li Yi drew the Blood Arrow to attack the two Black Robed Figures.

The Witch God Sect and its enemies fought across a vast battlefield while Main Body battled Moon Emperor, whose Extreme Dao Emperor Artifacts could not overpower him alone. The clash escalated when Moon Emperor revealed a second artifact and Main Body answered with the Wuhua Ancient Mirror.

• Cultivators on both sides fought across the land and sky, leaving vast fields of corpses in their wake.
• Mirror Demon, Sars, Hong He Monarch, and the other monarchs fought Larson and the enemy monarchs as Main Body faced Moon Emperor.
• Moon Emperor expanded the Purple Sun Cauldron and sent it crashing down, but Main Body transformed into his eighty-thousand-zhang true form and punched it backward.
• Moon Emperor brought out the White Phoenix Blade, a second Extreme Dao Emperor Artifact, while Li Yi watched and resolved to kill him for his treasures.
• Main Body released the Wuhua Ancient Mirror, revealing that he also possessed an Extreme Dao Emperor Artifact as the three weapons faced off.

Li Yi defeated the Moon Emperor’s forces and drove the seven great factions to collapse, though the Moon Emperor sacrificed his clone to send the White Phoenix Blade and Purple Sun Cauldron away. The surviving enemy cultivators surrendered, securing victory for the Witch God Sect.

• Li Yi used the Dark Left Hand to kill both Black Robed Figures, forcing the Moon Emperor to abandon his plan to destroy the Witch God Sect.
• The Moon Emperor tried to escape through a Space Rift, but Li Yi’s Main Body attacked him with a beam of black light while Li Yi struck at the Purple Sun Cauldron.
• Li Yi consumed Yellow Springs Soul Crystals to summon another giant hand and block the Purple Sun Cauldron as the black beam broke through the Moon Emperor’s defenses.
• The Moon Emperor self-destructed to send the White Phoenix Blade and Purple Sun Cauldron away, preventing Li Yi from capturing them.
