Ning Wangshu learned that a strange Blood Qi was turning the dead in Japan into mummies and concluded that an Evil Array was sacrificing the country’s living beings. He suspected the scheme was tied to the being who had promised to avenge Susanoo-no-Mikoto, but chose to resume cultivation rather than intervene.

• Ning Ruoxuan and Zhu Xiyan interrupted Ning Wangshu’s seclusion to tell him that people and animals across Japan were dying and becoming mummies.
• Ning Wangshu watched reports of the Blood Qi and concluded that an Evil Array was sealing Japan and sacrificing its inhabitants for an unknown purpose.

• Ning Wangshu suspected the person behind the sacrifice was the being who had vowed to avenge Susanoo-no-Mikoto, but feared that enemy’s strength and chose to resume cultivating the Pre-Technique.

Huaxia prepared for the possibility that America’s Heaven and Earth Longevity missile might threaten it while the missile headed for Japan’s Blood Sea Soul Locking Formation. As the missile reached the barrier, Tsukuyomi left the formation to intercept it.

• Tsukuyomi recognized the missile and left the Blood Sea Soul Locking Formation to deal with it as it arrived at the barrier.

World leaders watched as Tsukuyomi stopped America’s Heaven and Earth Longevity missile from destroying Japan’s blood-red barrier and effortlessly compressed its explosion into a sphere. Huaxia’s officials recognized that Tsukuyomi’s power far exceeded Xuan Yuan Jingxiu’s, and they decided to ask Ning Xian Zun to assess her.

• Ning Wangshu contacted Xuan Yuan Jingxiu, received satellite footage, and agreed to act if the being appeared in Huaxia.

• Ning Wangshu decided to master the Pre-Technique before the Formation Technique and Lie Technique, then returned to seclusion to cultivate.
• The Heaven and Earth Longevity launch remained secret from the public while reports of Japan’s daily deaths continued, and the world gradually resumed its routines into late August.

Ning Wangshu achieved minor accomplishment in the Pre-Technique and planned to cultivate array techniques and the Zhe Technique before his Dao Fetus matured.

• Ning Wangshu checked the coffin from Gangcheng, then accompanied Lin Qingzhu and Ning Ruoxuan to school.
• Ning Wangshu returned to his dorm and reunited with Ma Junfan and Liu Qi, who asked about his summer and Japan’s disasters.

While Ning Wangshu continued his training, Tsukuyomi and her sister prepared to use the Blood Sea Soul Locking Formation and Yata no Kagami to break the All Heavens Seal nodes in Takamagahara. They planned to avenge Susanoo by killing the person who had defeated him.

• Ning Wangshu neared Great Accomplishment in formation techniques and Minor Accomplishment in the Zhe Technique as another peaceful month passed.
• Japan became saturated with blood fiend aura, yin energy, and resentful spirits, while the Blood Sea Soul Locking Formation concealed the devastation from the outside world.
• Tsukuyomi and her sister channeled power into Yata no Kagami as the formation gathered the spirits and blood fiend aura left by Japan's dead.
• Tsukuyomi said they would use the gathered power to tear open Takamagahara's barrier and shatter its All Heavens Seal nodes within five days.
• Tsukuyomi and her sister vowed to find and kill the person who had slain Susanoo after completing their task.

• Five days after gathering the island nation’s Blood Fiends, resentment, and ghosts, Tsukuyomi and her sister prepared to attack Takamagahara with Orochi’s help.
• Tsukuyomi, her sister, and Orochi poured their power into Yata no Kagami, which tore open the barrier to Takamagahara.
• Tsukuyomi and her sister cast spells that released the Blood Sea Soul Locking Formation and sent the gathered Blood Fiends, resentment, and ghosts surging through the breach.
• Major world powers watched the footage of the breach and blood tornado, but could not determine what was happening.

• The old man instructed Xuan Yuan Jingxiu to contact Ning Xian Zun, show him the footage, and ask him to prepare to intervene if needed.

Tsukuyomi and her sister poured Blood Fiend, resentment, and wandering souls into Takamagahara to weaken the All Heavens Seal node mark. After seeing the mark in a video, Ning Wangshu realized that the fiends’ remnants were behind the attacks and that breaking the seal could bring a world-ending calamity.

• Tsukuyomi and her sister flooded Takamagahara with Blood Fiend, resentment, and wandering souls until the All Heavens Seal node mark manifested.
• The surging spirits attacked the mark, gradually wearing down its protective brilliance as the two women continued their assault.
• Xuan Yuan Jingxiu sent Ning Wangshu videos of the events in Japan while Ning was attending class at Jiangnan University.
• Ning Wangshu recognized the mark’s connection to the All Heavens Seal and concluded that the fiends’ remnants were trying to weaken it.
• Ning Wangshu connected the attacks to an ancient war and feared that the fiends would invade again if the All Heavens Seal collapsed.

Ning Wangshu concluded that the weakening All Heavens Seal could bring a catastrophe he might not be able to stop, though he promised Xuan Yuan Jingxiu he would help if needed. In Japan, the mysterious mark in Takamagahara continued to weaken as baleful blood, resentment, and vengeful spirits corrupted the Dao patterns around it.

• Ning Wangshu considered seeking refuge in the Cangyuan Realm with Ruoxuan and Qingzhu, but resolved to face whatever came.
• Ning Wangshu told Xuan Yuan Jingxiu that the mark in the second video was likely connected to the All Heavens Seal and that someone was trying to destroy it.

Tsukuyomi and her sister destroyed the All Heavens Seal node in Takamagahara and planned to hunt Susanoo’s killer in Shenzhou. As the seal weakened further, Ning Wangshu sensed the danger, while the Blood God realized that only one more node needed to be destroyed to free his true body.

• The mysterious seal in Takamagahara shattered, annihilating the blood fiends, resentment, and restless souls across Japan.

• In a hidden Underground Palace, the Blood God celebrated the weakening seal and declared that destroying one more node could help free his true body.

Tsukuyomi and her elder sister searched Huaxia for Ning Wangshu while the blood-lit figure planned his assault on an All Heavens Seal node. A mysterious light from Ning Wangshu’s coffin concealed him and his villa from the sisters, and he awoke after sensing their immortal senses pass by.

• The blood-lit figure considered devouring the three siblings serving his Nether Blood Domain if they continued to covet rule, then planned to attack the All Heavens Seal node guarded by the savages.

• As Ning Wangshu practiced array arts, mysterious markings and milky-white light appeared on his coffin, while the woman inside twitched her closed eyes.

• Ning Wangshu sensed the two immortal senses sweep past, woke from cultivation, and froze when he saw the milky-white light filling the room.

As the two Tsukuyomi sisters searched southwestern Huaxia, a blood-red figure sensed them and decided to recruit them to attack the guardians of the All Heavens Seal nodes.

• Ning Wangshu followed the receding milky-white radiance and found it filling the coffin, which bore glowing Immortal Dao Array Markings.
• Ning Wangshu concluded that the coffin's radiance hid living beings from immortal sense and had concealed him from the two bursts of immortal sense.
• Ning Wangshu feared the two beings might be stronger than him and resolved to cultivate his Array Technique and Lie Technique while waiting for his Body Outside of Body to finish Nurturing.
• The two Tsukuyomi sisters searched from the eastern coast into southwestern Huaxia, where the blood-red figure sensed them from the Underground Palace.
• The blood-red figure decided to enlist the Tsukuyomi sisters to help deal with the barbarians guarding the All Heavens Seal nodes, then vanished from the Underground Palace.

Amaterasu and Tsukuyomi encountered the Blood God while searching for Susanoo’s killer, and he persuaded them to help destroy a second All Heavens Seal node by promising access to the Endless Blood Sea. He secretly planned to devour the sisters after his true body escaped, while they agreed to postpone their revenge and follow him.

• Amaterasu and Tsukuyomi sensed a force blocking their immortal senses and went to investigate, but the Blood God appeared from the Underground Palace.
