As Purple Jade Island’s energy surged and destabilized its Protective Grand Array, Hu Guang struggled to contain the growing breach. Lu Ye’s clone drew Lionheart away in a staged fight, leaving several streaks of light flying toward the island as the chapter ended.

• Hu Guang stabilized the Grand Array’s expanding breach, but the island’s rising energy forced him to widen it to ten zhang before he could restore a precarious balance.
• Lionheart and Bao Youyou joined Hu Guang, but none of them could stop the energy mist from thickening or relieve the array’s immense pressure.

• Lu Ye and Ma Shangsi fought Lionheart, while Luan Xiao'e, Yan Miao, and He Baichuan battled Purple Jade's demon cultivators near the portal hall.

• Ma Shangsi and Lu Ye wounded Lionheart inside the Blood Sea, allowing Ma Shangsi’s Blood Drawing Art to drain him through injuries that would not heal.

• Lu Ye demanded that Hu Xue unlock the Combat Platform, but she stripped off her clothes and threatened to accuse him of violating her if he released her in that state.

• Other Sunlight Realm auras appeared on Myriad Phenomena Island, and Yuan Du's pressure vanished.

After Lu Ye killed Hu Xue, Yuan Du tried to suppress him, but Nine Radiance intervened and confronted Yuan Du. Mu Qing heard the witnesses confirm Lu Ye’s account and warned him to keep future conflicts farther from Myriad Phenomena Island.

• Luan Xiao'e told Lu Ye that Wei Po’s death had been avenged, and Lu Ye realized that one billion lingyu in Purple Jade’s treasury was likely the ransom Hu Guang had embezzled.

After Three Realms Island crushed Purple Jade, Lu Ye had Ma Shangsi’s fleet stop outside Giant Blade Island, where Zhao Yunqi paid a huge tribute to avert trouble over his earlier insult. Lu Ye accepted the apology and turned his attention to the Spirit Jade Vein discovered on Purple Jade.

• Lu Ye met Nine Radiance, who agreed that killing Hu Xue had been justified after hearing how Hu Xue had tried to frame him.
• Nine Radiance warned that a Sunlight cultivator from the Purple Jade Demon Star would likely come to negotiate, and Aunt Yue assured Lu Ye that the visitor would have to follow the Myriad Phenomena Sea’s rules.
