Li Ze began comprehending the Daos contained in Luo Feng’s Peak, reasoning that the Nine Peaks had been made from different Source World origins. Outside the Source World, Yuan, Wu, and Jin discussed Li Ze’s unusual cultivation and wondered whether his path could become a new system.

The God Kings prepared for a battle over the final Tianwu Jade as Li Ze finished comprehending the Nine Peaks’ Origin Sources. When King Shang’s peak produced the last jade, Li Ze declared that he would face the Beast King, the First Legion Commander, King Shang, and the Blood Cloud Tower Master himself, and the assembled forces began their attack.

• The First Legion Commander persuaded the Beast King, King Shang, and the Blood Cloud Tower Master to accept Lugu and Ming’s demand for a qualification and planned to attack Yongheng, Galaxy, and Tian Ji.

After the First Legion Commander used a God Emperor-level domain treasure to support King Shang, Li Ze revealed a sword intent that shocked every God King Peak expert.
