Hodan chose Fast, a Fate Lesser Sovereign, as his next target and launched a surprise attack near the Celestial Realm. Just as he expected to kill Fast, a powerful array trapped Hodan and four auras closed in around him.

• Hodan surveyed the Sovereigns and decided to target a Fate Lesser Sovereign so refining the Spark would strengthen all three of his Sovereign Clones.

• Hodan disguised his appearance and soul aura, traveled through Spatial Turbulence, and approached the Celestial Realm unseen.
• Hodan attacked Fast as soon as the Fate Lesser Sovereign entered range.
• Fast's Sovereign Palace activated a grand array that trapped Hodan while four powerful auras surrounded him.

Hodan was ambushed by Oufu and the other Rule Sovereigns after killing a fake Fast, and Oufu explained how his potion and formation let gods impersonate Sovereigns. As Oufu revealed that the potion had only been used on Thunder and Fate Sovereigns and a few others, Hodan secretly sent his Life Clone to hunt a Life Lesser Sovereign.

• Hodan killed the fake Fast, whose body dropped a Godhead instead of a Sovereign Spark, before Oufu, Uterde, the Sovereign of Life, and the Sovereign of Death surrounded him.
• Oufu told Hodan that the Thunder and Fate Sovereigns outside were fakes and explained that his potion copied soul auras while a formation supplied the appearance of Sovereign's Might.
• Hodan realized the potion had been used on only one of the Life Sovereigns and secretly dispatched his Life Clone to the Life Divine Plane to hunt a Life Lesser Sovereign.
• Hodan confirmed that the four Rule Sovereigns confronting him were genuine and continued facing them while his Life Clone traveled toward its target.

Oufu trapped Hodan with the Sovereign of Death and two other Sovereigns, exposed his Soul Mutation and hidden identities, and demanded the secret behind his power. With his Life Clone still far away and escape unlikely, Hodan unleashed his never-before-seen Destructive Demon Thunder Body as battle began.

• Oufu explained that he had anticipated Hodan's attack on Fast and deduced that Hodan could alter his soul aura and was a Four-Element Soul Mutator.

• Hodan revealed his Destruction Giant forms and fled in two directions, but Uterde used his perfected ultimate move to halt his escape and strike at him.
• Hodan resisted Uterde’s soul attack and punched him away, while his Destruction Clone fought Oufu with the Zhengdu Blade and relied on its speed advantage.
• The Sovereign of Death drew power from the Heart of the Netherworld as the Sovereign of Life protected and strengthened the group with her Life Protection.
• Hodan attacked Uterde, but the Sovereigns of Death and Life struck him with Death Impact and Life Deprivation, forcing him to dodge.
• Uterde cut through Hodan’s protective lightning and wounded his back and left hand with a Supreme Artifact.

Hodan broke the stalemate by having his Life God Clone kill a Lower Sovereign and refine the Life Lesser Sovereign Spark, greatly increasing the strength of all his clones. He turned the fight around, badly injuring Uterde and taking the Supreme Spear, though Oufu and the other Chief Sovereigns remained in battle.

• Hodan realized Oufu and the three Chief Sovereigns of the rules could overwhelm him if they kept him occupied and targeted his Sovereign Clones.

Hodan fought the Sovereigns of Death and Life as they poured their remaining power into a desperate attempt to defeat him. The Sovereign of Death launched a spear formed from countless souls, leaving Hodan facing her next attack.

Hodan spared the Sovereign of Life and the Sovereign of Death after they swore not to trouble the Renars Clan, then joined the fight against Oufu. Unable to defeat Oufu directly, Hodan left to search for the hidden Fate Chief Sovereigns and traced them to a concealed area near the Plane Battlefield.

• Hodan followed the strongest fluctuations to a barren, concealed area near the Plane Battlefield and recognized it as the place he had been searching for.

• Hodan realized the powers of the Four Rules had produced Xuanhuang Qi, which dissolved his Sovereign Sparks and fused his five blade-shaped souls into one.

• Hodan told Oufu that he had reached the same realm as the creator of the world and asked why Oufu did not run.
• Oufu said escape was pointless and stayed because he wanted to witness the world beyond their own, the goal he had pursued for countless years.
