After the Moon Emperor learned that his clone had self-destructed, the Witch God Sect consolidated its control of the Underworld Continent and became famous throughout the Eternal World. Lord Fenghuo learned that Li Yi had killed the Thousand Fire Monarch and ordered his followers to investigate Li Yi and the Witch God Sect.
The Main Body demonstrated a terrifying power that transformed and destroyed a black wyrm before the Underworld Emperor emerged from a pool of yellow soul-water. The Underworld Emperor sent Li Yi to Sky Breaking Mountain to pursue the Blood Arrow’s inheritance, while the injured Moon Emperor fled toward the Central Continent.
Li Yi went to Sky Breaking Mountain to study the Blood Arrow and comprehend Sky Breaking Great Emperor’s Divine Weapon Merging with Dao. After a hundred thousand years, his Main Body began a powerful breakthrough, shaking the Underworld Continent.
Main Body underwent a physical Sovereign tribulation at the border of the Underworld and Beacon Fire Continents, where his shadow merged with the lightning and Threads of law to form a golden counterpart. Ancient powers across the Eternal World reacted to the counterpart's appearance and rushed to kill him.
The Main Body and Li Yi both faced powerful shadows in simultaneous tribulations, while the Main Body's battle drew the attention of three Sovereigns seeking the Wuhua Ancient Mirror. The chapter ended as the Main Body unleashed a vast sea of graves against the Shadow Body.
The Main Body and Shadow Body fought a devastating battle that erased the surrounding landscape, while Lord Fenghuo abandoned his plan to seize the Main Body’s treasure. The Main Body then struck Shadow Body with a black-and-white dragon punch, sending him flying all the way to the moon.
The Main Body and Shadow Body fought for three days, devastating the Eternal World as the Main Body summoned ancient warriors and the Shadow Body unleashed chains of law. When the Wordless Heavenly Tablet flew to the Main Body, Lord Futian and two other Sovereigns tried to seize it, but the Main Body crushed all three with one palm, leaving the surrounding Sovereigns terrified.
The Main Body refined the Wordless Heavenly Tablet, summoned Wanggu’s power, and destroyed the Shadow Body with a pair of future eyes. Li Yi also defeated his shadow and discovered that his soul had become independent of the laws of heaven and earth, but the chapter ended as the world suddenly turned pitch-black.
Main Body was struck by Great Emperor Tun Yuan but escaped as the Underworld Emperor intervened and fought him. When Great Emperor Lie Ming attacked Main Body, Li Yi’s black arm separated from him and transformed into Divine Demon Great Emperor, forcing Lie Ming and Tun Yuan to withdraw.
Li Yi spent hundreds of thousands of years deciphering the Blood Arrow and the long spear, finally mastering the Divine Weapon Merging with Dao technique. After he left Sky Breaking Mountain, three newcomers revealed that they planned to act.
Li Yi was ambushed by three Eight Tribulation Monarchs but used the Blood Arrow’s law-based teleportation to wound one and evade their attacks. The Sixth Saint Son, Arrogant World, then overwhelmed Li Yi with a folding-fan strike, forcing him to flee, while Arrogant World was left curious about his long-range teleportation.

Li Yi forged the Shadowless Sword and the Green Lotus Ancient Sword, then broke through to the King Realm by confronting and devouring his Law Divine Tribulation. As he returned to Ancient Witch City to celebrate, a water-blue planet appeared in a whirlpool in the river of time.
Earth reappeared in the River of Time, and its inhabitants and the beings of Hong Huang awakened as it transformed into an eye alongside the Stone Eye. Their return stirred ancient powers across the Eternal World, where Li Yi awaited what was to come as figures resembling Hongjun and Luo Hou gathered.
Pangu’s phantom appeared in the Eternal World, crushed three continents, and used the Pangu Axe to destroy the seal imprisoning Emperor Ling Xuan. After Pangu vanished, Emperor Ling Xuan also faded from sight, leaving the other emperors to face a changed era.
Li Yi destroyed his three old swords and used the Shadowless Sword to observe the Underworld Continent as he began developing a unified secret technique and refining his combat philosophy. Meanwhile, the Main Body journeyed through increasingly dangerous spaces, passed an ancient declining plane, and reached a mysterious white expanse beneath fifty stars.
Elder Qingmu, Elder Lümiào, and Elder Honglian gravely wounded the Lord of Holy Light after killing the Lord of Mountains and Rivers, while God Sin rescued what remained of the Lord of Holy Light. Great Emperor Tun Yuan announced the start of the great war, and the Holy Clan launched its invasion of Qifeng Continent.
The Holy Clan conquered four continents near the Central Continent, prompting the second branch of the Hong Huang Clan to emerge and wage war. The world was engulfed in conflict, with the Holy Clan holding seven continents and the Hong Huang Clan three.
After a thousand years in seclusion, Li Yi comprehended the Seven Emotions and Six Desires powers, fused them into the Shadowless Sword, and demonstrated a devastating sword technique. He emerged to learn how the Eternal World had changed, then vanished after explaining that he had no past life—or was his own past life.
Li Yi judged that his power had reached a bottleneck and decided to strengthen the Witch God Sect by annexing other factions. After rallying more than a hundred trillion cultivators and launching a three-route campaign, he led the army south as the Eternal World watched in alarm.
Li Yi and River Styx led the Witch God Sect's army to invade Cang Ming Continent, where the Bronze Lord challenged them and overwhelmed River Styx. Li Yi turned the battle against him, and after a prolonged assault, killed him as he tried to escape, leaving the Witch God Sect's army poised to conquer the continent.
Li Yi and the Witch God Sect army encountered the Moon Emperor, who overwhelmed Li Yi with two Extreme Dao Emperor Artifacts. Li Yi’s Main Body appeared, seized the weapons, defeated the Moon Emperor with a single finger, and took his King Artifact moon before vanishing.
Hongjun and the Holy Clan lured Li Yi away from the Underworld Continent by attacking the Spirit Race, then captured him using the remains of a Great Emperor from the Dark Era. Li Yi remained trapped inside the dissolving skeleton as the Underworld Emperor failed to stop it from being carried away.
Li Yi was carried into an ancient plane inside the skeleton of Cracked Sea Great Emperor, where its cultivators tried to seize him as their hope of escape. After a three-day pursuit, he fled into the forbidden tomb of Ancient Dragon Emperor, leaving his pursuers outside.
Li Yi ventured into the Ancient Dragon Emperor's grave to escape the cultivators waiting outside, enduring its deadly traps and learning that the Purple Sun Cauldron's full power summoned a Great Emperor-level dragon. After he finally crossed the storm, his White Bone Characters formed a Bone Dragon, and a golden hand reached out to seize him.
