• After Yuan Tian urged Mu Xuanguang to focus on destroying the Mystic Sanctuary, Mu Xuanguang left Ye Weiyang to Yuan Tian.

Yuan Tian failed to persuade Ye Weiyang and Su Jiujiu to abandon the Mystic Sanctuary, so the three halls expanded their assault to include the Darkness Temple and the Sky Chamber of Commerce. Meanwhile, five True Kings pursued the teleported disciples, who scattered outside Emperor Fall Valley as other forces considered capturing them for the Origin Hall.

• Yue Qingcang warned Qin Yan that someone was coming and told him to hide.

Yue Qingcang concealed Qin Yan from an Origin Hall elder by claiming Qin Yan had escaped with a Ten-Thousand-Li Teleportation Talisman, then forced Nine-Mountain Lake’s disciples to swear Heavenly Dao Oaths of silence.

• Yuan Tian and Kong Wuya learned that Su Jingming had become a Great Emperor and that the Sky Chamber of Commerce and the Darkness Temple were attacking the Temple of Light.

• The surviving elders on both sides recognized that continuing would bring only a Pyrrhic victory, and neither side made another move.

Great Emperor Cangxuan fought alone against five Great Emperor-level opponents in the starry sky, enduring their attacks as his strength waned. As more attacks converged on him, he drew on star power and world power to form a protective barrier.

Great Emperor Cangxuan’s Starfall Sky Burner Formation broke through the four Great Emperor-level fighters’ defenses and bound them in searing Starfire Chains. After days of the chains weakening their Emperor Bodies, Great Emperor Long River finally shattered the fading pillar, leaving Cangxuan exhausted and injured.

• Great Emperor Cangxuan’s Starfire pillar overwhelmed and destroyed the attacks of the Origin Hall’s Second Ancestor, Great Emperor Long River, Kong Xuanji, and Yu Tingxue.
• The Starfire Chains repeatedly burned the four fighters, causing their Emperor Bodies to shatter and reform with weakened auras; Kong Xuanji was the first to be forced back into his original body.
• Over the following days, the pillar dimmed as the formation’s power dwindled, while the fighters continued to lose portions of their Emperor Souls.
• On September 30, Great Emperor Long River broke free of the chains and summoned a mighty river that extinguished the remaining starlight and Heavenly Fire.

After the battle, Kong Xuanji, Great Emperor Long River, the Origin Hall's Second Ancestor, and Yu Tingxue departed, leaving Great Emperor Cangxuan gravely weakened. Tian Shu Zi then appeared and asked his old friend to protect the Heavenly Pivot Array Sect after his imminent death.

• Kong Xuanji used the Spatial Flying Shuttle to escape after his cultivation fell and he could no longer fight effectively.

Tian Shu Zi died after asking Great Emperor Cangxuan to protect the Heavenly Pivot Array Sect and nurture Shen Xinglan. In Emperor Fall Valley, the armies began retreating, and Su Jiujiu used Rejuvenation Emperor Dew to stabilize the gravely wounded Xuantian, though Ao Yin and Tai Huang believed his path to becoming a Great Emperor had been severed.

• Ao Yin and Tai Huang concluded that Xuantian's Emperor Body was nearly broken and that his path to becoming a Great Emperor had been severed.

After the battle at Emperor Fall Land, Xuantian collapsed into Su Jiujiu’s arms, and the story shifted to Nine-Mountain Lake’s Second Mountain Lake, where Yue Qingcang brought Qin Yan and the returning expedition members home. Yue Qingcang then led Qin Yan away, stopping at an unspecified destination.

• Yue Qingcang stopped after leading Qin Yan rapidly past mountain paths, pavilions, spirit fields, and cave dwellings.

• Qin Yan refined ten high-grade Nine Yang Blood-Returning Pills and consumed one to strengthen his Qi and blood.

• Great Emperor Cangxuan revealed that two other possible ways to heal Xuantian might be worth trying.

Great Emperor Cangxuan outlined two ways to heal Xuantian’s ruined emperor body: a Nine-Turn Nirvana Pill or emperor fluid combined with the Azure Heaven Great Dao. The pill’s ingredients were unobtainable, and the second method required at least fifty or sixty thousand drops, leaving Xuantian worried about the cost to his injured master.

• Great Emperor Cangxuan explained that a Nine-Turn Nirvana Pill could heal Xuantian and refine his emperor body, but the Mystic Sanctuary lacked its rare ingredients.
• Great Emperor Cangxuan proposed using emperor fluid with the Azure Heaven Great Dao to repair Xuantian’s body and origin.
• Su Jingming offered the Sky Chamber of Commerce’s few bottles of emperor fluid, but Great Emperor Cangxuan estimated Xuantian needed at least fifty or sixty thousand drops.
