• Chu Han and Luo Yue continue exploring the vast Primordial Secret Realm, sealing dangerous dimensional rifts and killing the demons pouring through them. The demons’ Demon Energy also serves as a powerful cultivation resource.
• The Blood Vine and Little Black hunt independently, devouring demons and growing stronger.

• Star Alliance reinforcements arrive later, further easing the empire’s burden. The forces divide the work, while Chu Han and Luo Yue focus on the most dangerous threats.
• Over several months inside the Secret Realm—only a few days outside—all high-risk rifts are sealed and the demonic source is eliminated.

• The Blood Vine and Little Black, strengthened by months of devouring, sense a far more powerful demon approaching and send Chu Han an urgent warning.
• Chu Han orders everyone to assemble and hold their positions. A tremendous aura tears open the dimensional barrier, and the demon’s pressure paralyzes most of the human forces while sealing off escape routes.
• A colossal, seven-eyed demon emerges and identifies himself as Demon King Weiss. He vows to kill the humans responsible for hunting his kin.
• Weiss’s mental assault overwhelms many experts, but Chu Han’s defenses block it, and Luo Yue withstands it through her exceptional spiritual strength. Weiss singles them out as somewhat stronger than the others, while dismissing them as no real threat.

Character developments and interactions

• Chu Han remains the group’s decisive leader, but the arrival of a likely Divine Kingdom Realm demon reveals the limits of his present strength and forces him to confront genuine danger. He hopes that Lord Bai Ze will come to their aid.
• Luo Yue stands calmly beside Chu Han, prepared to fight and able to resist Weiss’s mental pressure.

Plot points and events

• Demon King Weiss’s pressure paralyzes the Gulan Empire and Star Alliance experts, but Chu Han and Luo Yue remain standing.
• Weiss attacks Chu Han with a colossal demonic palm. Chu Han counters with the Chaos Wheel, which absorbs much of the demonic power and forces the hand back.
• From the clash, Chu Han judges that Weiss is an exceptionally powerful Star Domain Realm overlord, but not a true god: his immense power comes from accumulated demonic energy, and his cultivation lacks the final step into the Divine Kingdom Realm.
• Reassured that Weiss can be challenged, Chu Han prepares to fight alongside Luo Yue. Weiss dismisses the assessment and launches a second attack with a gigantic demonic pillar.
• The pillar’s brute force overwhelms the Chaos Wheel, sending it flying, then continues toward Chu Han. The chapter ends with Chu Han in immediate danger.

• Chu Han’s assessment is based on their head-on clash; Weiss rejects its implication and attacks more fiercely.
• Chu Han and Luo Yue face Weiss together, while the other experts remain overwhelmed behind them.

Chu Han and Luo Yue joined forces against Weiss after it fully crossed into the Secret Realm and began destroying it. They broke Weiss’s life-bound demonic pillar, allowing Chu Han to devour its unleashed demonic energy and grow much stronger.

• Weiss widened the dimensional rift and brought its enormous true body and life-bound demonic pillar into the Secret Realm.
• Chu Han teleported the Gulan Empire and Star Alliance experts to a safe external space, clearing the battlefield.

• Chu Han expanded the Chaos Wheel into a Chaos Black Hole and absorbed the demonic energy, rapidly increasing his reserves and strength.

• Weiss prepared to flee, but Chu Han sent the Chaos Wheel after him, reinforced by his seventh-realm spiritual power.

• Blood Vine bound Weiss while Little Black stabbed him with the Oblivion Black Blade, and their combined attacks split his body apart.

Luo Yue and Chu Han killed Demon King Weiss, ending the demonic threat in the Secret Realm, though the battle left the realm irreparably shattered. After Chu Han released the rescued experts, the Gulan Emperor and the Star Alliance's Divine Palace thanked the pair and recognized Chu Han's strength.

• Luo Yue unleashed a killing blow that destroyed Weiss's remaining demonic eyes and severed his head, killing him with Chu Han, Blood Vine, and Little Black.

• God Bai Ze told Chu Han that he would complete all three Star Lord Assessment Tasks because his origin Divine Power still needed its final transformation.

Chu Han arrived at the Nine Extremes Divine Kingdom’s once-in-a-hundred-million-years opening and faced the gathered experts of the Human, Insect, and Beast Races. As the seal awaited its opening, the races’ hostility—and Xilong’s open challenge—made clear that Chu Han would enter a deadly hunting ground.

Chu Han entered the Nine Extremes Divine Kingdom after killing dozens of Insect Race and Beast Race powerhouses with his Chaos Black Hole. Scattered across the ruined world, he began searching for opportunities before twelve colossal giants of light appeared and revealed divine power that matched the Divine Kingdom's origin.
