• The clone charged into the Star Constellation cultivators and killed as many as two hundred before Lionheart and the others surrounded and destroyed it.
• Hu Guang realized Lu Ye had used clones, and Lionheart ordered the island searched for any remaining threat.
• After the search found nothing, Purple Jade opened its Grand Array and sent a fleet led by Hu Guang toward Three Realms Island with four thousand cultivators.

• Lionheart stayed behind to guard Purple Jade Island while Hu Guang, Yuan Che, and Bao Youyou led its forces toward Three Realms Island.

• Hu Guang, Bao Youyou, and Yuan Che raced back toward the fleet as passing cultivators watched Lu Ye’s one-man assault.

Lu Ye let the Purple Jade Demon Cultivators surround him, then unleashed the Great Windmill and killed hundreds before Hu Guang, Bao Youyou, and Yuan Che could intervene. As the Purple Jade Fleet pressed toward Three Realms Island, Lu Ye turned and charged Yuan Che, setting up another clash.

• The Purple Jade Demon Cultivators formed battle formations and surrounded Lu Ye, who cut down more than a hundred while waiting for Hu Guang, Bao Youyou, and Yuan Che to return.

After returning to Three Realms Island, he told its leaders he intended to capture Purple Jade Island, though he had not yet found a way to break its Protective Grand Array.

• Purple Jade Island’s fleet attacked Three Realms Island, but Lu Ye intercepted it, killed Yuan Che with a single slash, and inflicted heavy losses before Hu Guang ordered a retreat.

Lu Ye and the Three Realms Island cultivators struggled to find a way to capture Purple Jade Island before outside forces could intervene. Tang Jun revealed that Illusion Sea Island’s Protective Grand Array had once been shut down after overloading, giving Lu Ye a possible precedent to investigate.

• Lu Ye, Tang Jun, Luan Xiao'e, and He Baichuan discussed attacking Purple Jade, but rejected a direct assault and infiltration as too dangerous.
• Tang Jun warned Lu Ye that other top-tier Spirit Islands might soon pressure Three Realms Island to make peace with Purple Jade, so the conflict had to be resolved quickly.
• Lu Ye asked Tang Jun whether any top-tier Spirit Island had ever been breached, and Tang Jun said none had been captured.
• Tang Jun explained that Illusion Sea Island had once withdrawn its Protective Grand Array after its Formation Bases overloaded from storing too much energy.
• Lu Ye learned that Illusion Sea Island increased its stationed population afterward to consume more of the island’s energy and prevent the array from overloading again.

Lu Ye placed the Small Star Constellation Hall beneath Purple Jade Island and unleashed its full power, hoping to overload the island’s Protective Grand Array. While he waited for his plan to take effect, Purple Jade’s leaders prepared another assault, but Lu Ye’s clone fled when Lionheart and Hu Guang came to challenge him.

• After Tang Jun described Illusion Sea Island’s crowded conditions and failing Protective Grand Array, Lu Ye realized he could make Purple Jade’s array face the same crisis by flooding it with energy.
• Lu Ye carried the Small Star Constellation Hall beneath Purple Jade Island and released its full power, causing vast amounts of pure energy to rise toward the island.
• Lionheart and Hu Guang planned to recruit two Moon Jade Realm guardians and attack Three Realms Island, while Lionheart and Hu Guang would draw Lu Ye’s attention away from their departure.
• When Lionheart and Hu Guang emerged from Purple Jade Island and challenged him, Lu Ye’s Talent Tree Clone fled without fighting, leaving the watching cultivators surprised.

Lu Ye and Three Realms Island lured two Purple Jade cultivators into an ambush and killed them, while Hu Guang investigated the sudden rise in Purple Jade Island’s energy. He concluded that a hidden energy passage beneath the island had grown larger.

• Lu Ye suspected Purple Jade had sent Moon Jade Realm cultivators to register on Myriad Phenomena Island, and Tang Jun assured him that Three Realms Island had prepared for them.
• Zhou Chuang watched the registration hall, identified two suspicious cultivators, and followed them after they left Myriad Phenomena Island.
• Ma Shangsi, Luan Xiao'e, and Yan Miao ambushed the two Purple Jade cultivators and killed them.
• Hu Guang investigated the growing energy on Purple Jade Island and discovered that bubbles rising from beneath the sea were releasing energy.
• Hu Guang theorized that a hidden passage beneath Purple Jade Island had enlarged, allowing more energy from the Myriad Phenomena Sea to escape.

Hu Guang warned Lionheart that the surging energy entering Purple Jade Island threatened its Protective Grand Array, while Lu Ye waited for the strain to destroy it. After Purple Jade Island opened a gap to release excess energy and stabilize the array, Lu Ye intensified the Small Star Constellation Hall’s operation to disrupt that balance.

• Hu Guang explained that Purple Jade Island’s growing energy would overburden its Protective Grand Array, and Lionheart gave him authority to manage the array.
• Lionheart learned that Three Realms Island’s ambush had killed Junior Brother Chai and Junior Brother Lang, and Hu Guang vowed revenge.
• Lu Ye watched Purple Jade Island repeatedly increase its array’s power as energy continued to build on the island.
• Purple Jade Island opened a gap in its Protective Grand Array to let energy escape and stop the array’s power from rising further.
• Lu Ye recognized the gap as an opportunity and manually accelerated the Small Star Constellation Hall to break Purple Jade Island’s balance.

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.
• Five hundred li away, Lu Ye’s Talent Tree Clone saw the breach stop expanding, sent a message, and rushed toward Purple Jade Island.
• Lionheart charged out to intercept the clone, battered it inside its Blood Sea, and emerged as the apparent victor while the clone fled.
• Lionheart pursued the retreating clone without noticing several streaks of light slip past him toward Purple Jade Island.

Lu Ye revealed himself on Purple Jade Island, severed Bao Youyou’s arm, and drove Hu Guang away from the Grand Array’s breach. The Protective Grand Array shattered, and Lu Ye faced Hu Guang and Bao Youyou as both sides unleashed their techniques.

• Hu Guang warned Lionheart that Lu Ye might be a Clone and urged him not to pursue, but Lionheart ignored him and gave chase.
• Lu Ye emerged from a Controlled Artifact beside the breach, caught Bao Youyou’s wrist, severed her arm, and attacked Hu Guang.
• Bao Youyou struck Lu Ye aside, and the breach expanded until Purple Jade’s Protective Grand Array shattered.
• Hu Guang and Bao Youyou joined forces against Lu Ye, while Hu Guang activated the Six-tailed Demonic Fox clan’s illusion technique.
• Lu Ye’s eyes turned crimson and formed heterochromatic pupils; the world became blood-red, and illusions filled Hu Guang’s vision.

Lu Ye killed Bao Youyou and overwhelmed Hu Guang after exploiting the backlash from Hu Guang’s illusion technique. As Lionheart rushed back, Lu Ye captured Hu Guang and held a blade to his neck.

• Hu Guang’s illusion technique backfired when Lu Ye countered it with the Blood Eye Spirit Pattern, leaving Hu Guang frozen and vulnerable.
• Bao Youyou shielded Hu Guang with her Demonic Core, but Lu Ye used Tidal Sea Myriad Waves to break through and kill her.
• Hu Guang recovered from the illusion and fled, while Lu Ye formed Divine Edge Divine Patterns with Soul Power to attack him.
• After nearly twenty Divine Edge Divine Patterns overwhelmed Hu Guang, Lu Ye caught him and planted a foot on his back.
• Lionheart rushed back and ordered Lu Ye to stop, but Lu Ye forced Hu Guang to his knees and laid the Crag Mountain Saber across his neck.
