• Jade Maiden reported that the Child of the Ancient Immortal Realm remained unidentified and that Lin Chen and Lin An had fought before apparently reaching an agreement.
• Shui Mochan reported the likely location of the Maha Clan ruins and warned that the Central River Imperial Family was heading there, so Lin Chuan made the ruins Akatsuki’s next target.

• Lin Chuan used the Five Spirit Feather Fan to cover the retreat, while Deva Path and the World Suppressing Disk helped the group escape through a space-time passage.

• Bu Lianshi sensed someone nearby, but the person fled before she could investigate further.

Lin Chuan’s group entered the damaged Maha Clan grand formation, where the Maha Sutra helped his Soul-Suppressing Bell resist its powerful soul attacks. As they advanced, Bu Lianshi sensed hundreds of approaching cultivators who were likely Prince Gong’s men.

• Bu Lianshi reported that a late Void Refinement cultivator had detected them and fled, but Lin Chuan chose to continue onward.

• Lin Chuan advanced cautiously through the formation, stopping to recover as the soul attacks grew stronger.
• Bu Lianshi sensed several hundred prepared cultivators approaching and warned the group that they were likely Prince Gong’s men.

Lin Chuan led [Akatsuki] away from the formation, then confronted Prince Gong's Manor after its people blocked their path to the Maha Clan ruins. He launched a devastating attack with the Five Spirit Feather Fan, leaving dozens dead and many others wounded as the battle began.

• Zhongchuan Ming attacked Lin Chuan with the Nine Emperor Cauldron, and Lin Chuan met it with the Heaven-Measuring Ruler while the World Suppressing Disk restored his intangibility.

• Kong Chen launched the Tailed Beast Ball at Chen Hong without regard for Vermilion Bird's life.

[Akatsuki] unleashed a barrage of Tailed Beast Balls that devastated Prince Gong's Manor's forces, though Zhongchuan Ming and Chen Hong survived inside the Nine Emperor Cauldron. As Lin Chuan moved to stop Zhongchuan Ming from escaping, the Fruit of the God Tree suddenly stirred with an overwhelming urge to devour.

Lin Chuan discovered that Zhongchuan Ming possessed Origin Grass, a divine item ranked third on the Heavenly and Earthly Wonders Ranking, and killed him before he could escape with it. After Vermilion Bird killed the mortally wounded Chen Hong, Origin Grass was swallowed by the Fruit of the God Tree as soon as Lin Chuan touched it.
