Meanwhile, Sect Master Tongtian disrupted Emperor Donghua’s attempt to establish the Sword Immortal Lineage, and Primordial Heavenly Venerate set Pan Wang against Shen Nong to create the Earth Sovereign’s calamity.

Pan Wang attacked the Hundred Thousand Mountains and unleashed plagues across the Human Race, but Yunxiao, Pharmacist, Chi You, Zhao Gongming, and the Nine Great Golden Crows drove him off and subdued most of his ferocious insects. Shen Nong struggled to find a cure for the widespread poison as Pharmacist went to seek Three Light Divine Water and Zhao Gongming sought Lü Yue’s help.

Xuan Yin’s Manifestation Body helped contain Pan Wang’s plague long enough for Shen Nong and Lü Yue to develop cures, while Pan Wang and Primordial Heavenly Venerate pursued new schemes. The chapter left Pan Wang targeting Shen Nong’s wife Ting and daughter Jingwei, as Xuan Yin and his allies prepared to counter him.

• Pan Wang sent Chimei Wangliang to seek an opening against Shen Nong’s family, while Dora arranged for Zhao Gongming to send Jiang Kui and Yao Ji to Golden Ao Island, leaving Ting and Jingwei as the likely targets.

Pan Wang attacked the Lieshan Divine Dynasty and tried to use Shen Nong’s daughter Jingwei to break Shen Nong’s resolve, but the defenders trapped him in layered formations and defeated him.

• Pan Wang invaded the Lieshan Divine Dynasty, imprisoned a false Jingwei, and sent four ghost entities to attack the Human Race, but Chi You’s disguise let Shen Nong and his allies trap him in the Nine Bends Yellow River Formation.

• Pan Wang detonated the Multi-Eyed Golden Centipede to break out of the formation, but Bo Huang and the Nine Great Golden Crows caught him in the Golden Crow Burning World Formation, and the assembled fighters forced him to self-detonate.
• Pan Wang’s Pan Wang Origin Gu Sword escaped with one of his True Spirits, so Yao Bin used the Soul-Depriving Formation to locate it while Lu Jun and Lü Yue waited in the Hundred Thousand Mountains.
• The sword carried Pan Wang’s True Spirit to his hidden Innate Sacred Land, where Lu Jun and Lü Yue killed him; Lu Jun recovered the Nail Head Seven Arrows Book, and Lü Yue took the Pan Wang Origin Gu Sword.

Lu Jun used the Nail Head Seven Arrows Book to curse Chi Jingzi into the Calamity of Self-Loss, then inherited the Red Emperor Dao Fruit to protect Xihe’s authority over the sun. After Daoist Zhunti and Daoist Jieyin shielded him from Primordial Heavenly Venerate’s attack, Lu Jun converted to the West, while Primordial Heavenly Venerate demanded restrictions on those he believed had helped arrange the plot.

• Lu Jun decided to kill Chi Jingzi and asked Bai Ze to take the Taiyi Emperor Robe to Kun Peng, while Yeming agreed to compress the curse into an instant.

Meanwhile, Shen Nong accepted Yaochi’s offer to become Heavenly Emperor and appointed Dora the Dream-Fulfilling Heavenly Venerate as Great Emperor Qinghua of the East Pole, enraging Primordial Heavenly Venerate.

• King of Worlds Buddha told Daoist Jieyin that Tongtian intended to disband Jie Sect after it proved its Dao against the Exposition Sect, and Jieyin reconsidered opposing it.

Yaochi secured Shennong’s succession as Heavenly Emperor while Yuanshi arranged a duel between Dora the Dream-Fulfilling Heavenly Venerate and Emperor Donghua for the Great Emperor Qinghua of the East Pole. In the Demon Realm, Xuan Yin enlisted Creation Heavenly Demon in plans to create a little Pangu and replace native beings, then sought Luo’s support; the chapter ended with Haotian refusing Yuanshi’s request for help.

Primordial Heavenly Venerate offered to restore Haotian’s cultivation and support his bid for the Human Emperor position, making Haotian an ally in the struggle for Great Emperor Qinghua of the East Pole. Dora the Dream-Fulfilling Heavenly Venerate defeated Emperor Donghua and claimed the right to the post, but Haotian appeared as a newly restored Sub-Saint to challenge him.

Dora the Dream-Fulfilling Heavenly Venerate used Xuan Yin’s Authority of Calamity to force Haotian to withdraw from the contest for Great Emperor Qinghua of the East Pole, while Primordial Heavenly Venerate arranged other divine positions for his disciples. Shen Nong later attained the Earth Sovereign Dao Fruit and began planning to restore the Heavenly Court’s fortune and the Primordial True Realm’s Five Elements Cycle.

• Dora the Dream-Fulfilling Heavenly Venerate summoned Purple Firmament Divine Thunder and warned Haotian that his vows to the Heavenly Dao made him vulnerable to calamity, so Haotian conceded the position of Great Emperor Qinghua of the East Pole.

• Luo Obsession revealed that the inheritor of the White Emperor Dao Fruit would become the Metal Demon God’s vessel, leaving Xuan Yin alarmed for Du E.

Xuan Yin defeated Luohu’s obsession on Luohu Star and refined it, gaining part of the Demon Realm’s authority and discovering a power that could transfer his injuries to demonic beings. The Primordial Heavenly Demon grew alarmed at Xuan Yin’s rise, while Primordial Heavenly Venerate considered taking a Phoenix into the Exposition Sect as a temporary replacement for Chi Jingzi.

• Xuan Yin decided not to warn True Person Du E about the danger of becoming the Metal Demon God’s vessel and told Luo Obsession his plan to siphon fortune from other demonic lineages through the Joyful Demon Lord.
• Luo Obsession attacked Xuan Yin to test him, and the two fought across Luohu Star as Xuan Yin learned that Luo Obsession drew strength from the Demon Realm’s origin.
• Xuan Yin severed Luo Obsession’s connection to the Demon Realm’s origin with the Dao Yi Seal, then refined the weakened obsession and gained one-fifth of the Demon Realm’s authority.

• Dijun surrendered his fire imprint to repay his debt to Xuan Yin, but Eastern Emperor Taiyi attacked with the Great Sun Golden Flame and challenged Xuan Yin to show his strength.

• Houtu learned that disciples of Taiyuan Sage Mother, Great Immortal Jinding, and Immortal Matriarch had disappeared, and she sent Chi You to attack the Nine Heavens Divine Dynasty and force the reincarnated experts to reveal themselves.

Chi You led the Jiuli Divine Dynasty into war against Haotian’s Nine Heavens Divine Dynasty, using the battle to train his military formations while the armies suffered heavy losses. As Xuanyuan worried about his path beyond the Primordial Unity Golden Immortal realm, Fuzhang taught him a Devilish Dao method, and Xuanyuan vowed to use it against those who plotted against the Human Clan.

• Chi You marched the Jiuli Divine Dynasty north, while Haotian relied on Asura troops and Four-Unlike’s earth-vein formation to defend the Nine Heavens Divine Dynasty.
• Chi You’s formations killed tens of thousands of Asuras, but the Asuras’ illusions and self-destruction also inflicted losses on his army.
