• Ke Yue clashed with a Fourth Realm Star God wielding Evil Fire and defeated him, but a second Star God with Barrier power trapped and wounded her.

The chapter left Que Cai reflecting on how Wang Ping had surpassed everyone’s expectations and noting that another Fourth Realm slot remained with Xuan Ling.

• Wang Ping resisted the rules’ backlash in the Wood Spirit World and realized that defining the Outer Realm Rebels could improve his compatibility with the Heaven Stealing Talisman.

Wang Ping learned that Daoist Tongyu had qualified to advance to the Fourth Realm, then spent over a year attempting to deduce the True Lords’ existence across timelines. After Tiangong summoned him to Venus to send Yuanwu’s group beyond the Outer Realm, Wang Ping met the party and waited with them for Lieyang to arrive.

• Xuanqing explained that a wise Demon Emperor had seemed to offer hope before the Misty Sea appeared without warning.

Xuanqing revealed the history behind Yaoxi’s downfall and warned Wang Ping that Bai Yan might act recklessly while pursuing an Outer Realm Lifeform in the Mystic Sect. Wang Ping agreed to Bai Yan’s proposal, and as the campaign against the Rebels on Outer Realm Star began, an unexpected assault was reported at the Left 01 war zone.

• After returning to Nine Profound Mountain, Wang Ping used the Luck Borrowing Talisman unsuccessfully, then accepted Bai Yan’s proposal and prepared the Taiyan Sect and Earth Cave Sect for fighting.
• The First Seat conference agreed to eliminate the Rebels on Outer Realm Star, and Wang Ping took command at the Demon Race’s Moon Outpost while overseeing the front-line preparations.
• When Bai Xin requested permission to attack, Wang Ping reviewed the plan and outlined which forces should stay out of the siege, but a report arrived that the Left 01 war zone had launched an attack without Zhu Wu’s knowledge.

Ao Hong and Cang Hai used a Dragon Lord’s artifact to break through a rebel defense and captured an Ecological Zone before deciding to push toward the Outer Realm Star. Their advance exposed a suspicious port and drew Bai Xin toward a possible trap, but his hatred for the Star God who killed his disciple led him to press ahead.

• Wang Ping ordered Bai Xin to advance when an opportunity arose and put Third Realm cultivators on standby to defend the rear.
• Ao Hong and Cang Hai defeated three rebel Fourth Realm Star Gods after Ao Hong used the Dragon Seal to suppress their demonic qi, then captured the rebel Ecological Zone.
• Ao Hong persuaded Cang Hai to push toward the Outer Realm Star, hoping to force the enemy’s Fifth Realm cultivators and True Lords into the war.
• Ao Hong’s vanguard and supply airships vanished near a giant port, so Ao Hong contacted Bai Xin and prayed to the Dragon Lord while Cang Hai prayed to True Lord Bai Yan.
• Bai Xin and Hou Ji identified the port as a likely trap, but Bai Xin chose to send Mystic Sect Disciples to scout it, driven by his desire to avenge his disciple.

Ao Hong led a fleet toward the port while Daoist Gray’s Rebel forces prepared to draw the Mystic Sect and Demon Race fleets into separate decisive battles. When Ao Hong’s fleet reached the Rebels’ gray formation, he broke through it and confronted two Star Gods, then sensed Ke Yue’s True Yang energy nearby as he attacked.

• Bai Xin refused to join Hou Ji in reporting the opportunity, so Hou Ji issued orders to the fleets near the port without him.
• After waiting for reinforcements and scouting reports, Ao Hong took the flagship and three Third Realm combat squads toward the port, with Cang Hai following behind.
• On Outer Realm Star, Daoist Gray and the other Star Gods discussed the threat to their forces and set plans to engage the Mystic Sect and Demon Race fleets in separate battles.

• Ao Hong used his great seal to restore Water Spirit rules, then destroyed the Rebels’ gray formation with Water Droplet Pierces Stone.
• Ao Hong recognized two Fourth Realm Star Gods wielding Evil Fire and attacked them after sensing Ke Yue’s True Yang energy nearby.

Ao Hong, Ke Yue, Gong Wu, and Cang Hai fought Rebel Star Gods and fleets as they advanced through the starry battlefield. After receiving True Lord Bai Xin’s order to threaten the target port within five standard days, they agreed that Ke Yue would lead the vanguard.

• Ao Hong and Ke Yue defeated several Rebel Star Gods, while Gong Wu joined them as five more Star Gods and Rebel fleets attacked.
• The five Star Gods used a barrier, Gravity Crush, and Spokesperson abilities to hold off Ao Hong, Ke Yue, and Gong Wu, while their fleet attacked the three sects’ ships.
• Ke Yue killed the barrier Star God, allowing Ao Hong and Gong Wu to defeat the remaining Star Gods as Cang Hai and reinforcements turned the fleet battle against the Rebels.
• Ao Hong, Ke Yue, Gong Wu, and Cang Hai established a temporary stronghold and received True Lord Bai Xin’s order to threaten the target port within five standard days.
• After learning that twenty Fourth Realm cultivators and ten fleets supported their flanks, the four agreed that Ke Yue would lead the vanguard toward the port five hours later.

Wang Ping watched Ke Yue’s vanguard confront the Rebels’ rule-woven darkness, which unleashed an attack that swallowed the battlefield and severed her senses. Bai Xin and the True Lords checked its expansion, but the Outer Realm Star remained under threat as a jade-green light appeared above the coalition’s central army.

• Wang Ping explained to Yulian that the war began because the True Lords could no longer control the Outer Realm Rebels, and Yulian warned him that Zhu Wu was more dangerous than Bai Xin.
• Ke Yue advanced alone toward the target port, clearing traps with her Fiery Burst Technique as Ao Hong, Gong Wu, and Cang Hai followed with reinforcements.
• Ke Yue and the others confronted six Rebel Star Gods whose command chains repelled her flaming Long Swords, while Wang Ping and Yulian recognized the stability of the opposing Outer Realm rules.
• Lieyang told Wang Ping to go oversee the battle and preserve the Five Elements Yin Yang Rules, just as the darkness expanded and its command of annihilation swallowed Ke Yue’s senses.
• Ke Yue used Transfer Talismans to pull Ao Hong, Gong Wu, and Cang Hai to safety, while the demonic rule world shattered Ao Hong’s great seal and Bai Xin struck back with chaotic star winds.
• The True Lords strengthened the border rules with their faith spirituality and forced the darkness to retreat, revealing destroyed coalition vessels before a jade-green light appeared above the central army.

True Monarch Changqing, Wang Ping, arrived at the battlefield, healed and reorganized the cultivators, and directed the Demon Race True Lords as they fought the Star Gods. As the enemy Star Gods mutated and seven more rushed toward Wang Ping, Niu Pan and Yue Xi moved to defend him.

• Wang Ping appeared over the battlefield, healed the cultivators, and condemned the Star Sea Star Gods for colluding with Outer Realm Sinful Spirits.
• Zhu Wu, Hou Ji, Wang Xian, and Bai Xin tore through the Destruction Rule while Wang Ping transferred the scattered fleets and ordered weaker cultivators to withdraw.
• Quan Xing joined the Demon Race formation, helping it expose the Outer Realm Star and locate the Destruction Rule's source.
• Bai Xin and Hou Ji fought three Spokesperson Star Gods, but the enemy recovered with reinforcements and the battle escalated as Zhu Wu, Wang Xian, and Quan Xing joined in.
• The Star Gods revealed black crystals and transformed amid surging demonic qi, while seven more Fifth Realm Star Gods charged toward Wang Ping and Niu Pan and Yue Xi moved to intercept them.

Wang Ping repelled four Star Gods with the Wood Spirit Rules and killed one while the others resisted his attempt to define them. As Daoist Gray led a larger force against him, Wang Ping drew out Jia Shang Ling Er, the Demonic Sword once wielded by the Demon Emperor.

• Wang Ping used the Wood Spirit Rules and a Sword Talisman to break the four Star Gods’ array, then dragged them back from their escape passage and tried to define their Life and Death.
• One Star God’s Primordial Spirit collapsed under Wang Ping’s Heaven Stealing Talisman, while the other three survived by absorbing Outer Realm demonic qi; Wang Ping sensed five more Fifth Realm Star Gods approaching.
• Daoist Gray arrived with reinforcements as Wang Ping’s allies regrouped, and Wang Ping rejected Gray’s offer to negotiate over the captured Mystic Sect and Heaven Sect disciples.
• Wang Ping ordered his allies to attack Daoist Gray’s force, while he and Gray held back and Gray’s side maintained an array that separated them from the Star Sea rules.
• After Yulian detected a hidden Primordial Spirit disrupting the Inspiration World, Wang Ping deliberately exposed a flaw to draw out his opponents and summoned Jia Shang Ling Er, astonishing Daoist Gray.

Wang Ping defeated Daoist Gray’s formation and fought Wei Ling, who revealed a Divine Kingdom and challenged him with temporal and faith-based powers. As their Divine Arts clashed, a River of Time replaced Wei Ling’s Divine Kingdom, and Wang Ping recognized the independent rules of a small world refined through the Star Gods’ Sixth Realm secret method.

• Wang Ping used the Seven Star Killing Array and Wood Spirit rules to kill one Star God and drive the others from the battlefield as Daoist Gray vanished.
• Wei Ling appeared with Daoist Gray and the remaining Star Gods, and Wang Ping challenged her over the conflict before they agreed to fight.
• Wei Ling attacked Wang Ping with overlapping past, present, and future strikes, but he summoned the Jianmu phantom to halt and shatter her temporal power.
• Wei Ling revealed her Divine Kingdom and fought Wang Ping with a faith-powered sword and bell, while Wang Ping answered with Golden Armored Divine Generals, a formation, and the edict to suppress.
• Chaotic energy disrupted the faith threads linked to Wei Ling’s believers, then a River of Time appeared in place of her Divine Kingdom, and Wang Ping recognized its independent rules.
