He unleashed his full strength against the Qiankun Yiqi Bag’s inner barrier as the battle outside neared disaster, leaving Xuanxu exposed and the Righteous Path on the brink of defeat.

• Fang Can used the Dragon-Phoenix Unity Pendant on Purple Ling Sword, and its time-consuming power aged him by a hundred years.

• Xuanxu exhausted her Heart Manifestation and lost her Dharma Body while fighting the Golden-Haired Lion King, leaving her unable to restore her golden body for ten breaths.

• Fang Can met Xie Xun's charge head-on and stopped the Golden-Haired Lion King with one hand.
• The White-Browed Eagle King and Yang Xiao attacked Fang Can together, but his hardened body withstood their blows.
• Fang Can figured out that the White-Browed Eagle King's destructive transparent skin could move around her body, so he released her wrist.

• Dongfang Wuji appeared in front of Yang Xiao.

Dongfang Wuji confronted Fang Can and sensed that he held the opportunity for her to break through to the Fifth Turn. Her past revealed how she became a peerless martial artist, then entered a death retreat after forgetting how to kill; she emerged still seeking the insight behind the Heavenly Shift’s seventh layer, Kill-less Kill.

• Dongfang Wuji appeared before Yang Xiao and Fang Can, looking younger and clear-eyed, and told Fang Can that her chance to reach the Fifth Turn lay with him.

• After nineteen years in retreat, Dongfang Wuji emerged confused and asked why a bloodied corpse was lying nearby, revealing that she had forgotten how to kill and recognize the dead.

Dongfang Wuji abandoned her killing personality and challenged Fang Can, believing he could lead her to the Immortal realm. Their battle devastated Cloud Peak, and Fang Can discovered that her invisible Stand and layered defenses made her extraordinarily difficult to injure.

• Dongfang Wuji returned to her youthful appearance, declared that meeting Fang Can mattered more than her plans to kill the Six Great Sects and the army, and challenged him to a fight to the death.

He left Yang Xiao expecting the Heavenly Shift manual that night and prepared to use his power against the kingdom.

• Fang Can implanted a command to multiply into a piece of his flesh and released it into an Imperial Guard, causing Blood Colonizers to spread rapidly through the army.
• Xu Xiao watched her soldiers fall to the Blood Colonizers and attacked Fang Can, but Yang Xiao intercepted her as martial artists from the Six Great Sects surrounded her.

• Fang Can lifted the seal on his cultivation, flew to low orbit above the Liyang capital, and spread his Heart Manifestation across the city.
• Fang Can spoke into the minds of the capital’s people and declared himself the master of their lives, naming himself Heavenly Emperor Fang.

Before descending, he split off his head and transformed his headless body into a satellite to monitor the Imperial City and strike potential rebels, but he abandoned its plan to reproduce after realizing how much matter it would consume.
