Chu Ming helped the Nine Heavens Alliance defeat the Heavenly Martial Sacred Hall and emerged from seclusion to confront a spreading aberrant-beast calamity. The Heaven-Asking Pavilion Master proposed a grand array at Demon-Burial Abyss, but Chu Ming urged an investigation first, leaving the Alliance wary of the mysterious threat and its proposed solution.

As the alliance struggled to defend its territories, Chu Ming learned the Pavilion Lord was waiting for them to weaken and charged into battle against a Wraith King at the God-Burial Corridor.

• Chu Ming subdued a Shadow Clan assassin, whose interrogation revealed that the Shadow Emperor and humans in star-patterned robes had helped activate the altar nodes.

Its collapsing core became a black hole that consumed the battlefield, and the survivors escaped at the cost of Thunder Refining Heavenly Lord’s life, while Chu Ming remained uneasy about the dark vortex left behind.

After Canggan Continent’s victory over the Myriad Sin Aberrant Calamity, Chu Ming emerged from seclusion having reached Immortality, and the Ganwu Star Kingdom announced a Heaven-Reaching Trial to decide whether Canggan could open a Stargate. The first trial began with a climb up the Starry Stairway, and Chu Ming, Cloud Venerable Heavenly Lord, and Taiwu Heavenly Lord joined the contestants as the climb grew perilous.

• Leng Wuya began the first trial, summoning a 9,999-step Starry Stairway and setting thresholds for passing and advancement.
• Contestants from across Canggan rushed onto the stairway, where mounting pressure and soul attacks drove many back, before Chu Ming, Cloud Venerable Heavenly Lord, and Taiwu Heavenly Lord ascended together.

• Chu Ming touched the stele and produced a fused seven-colored radiance that climbed past 3,000 zhang and reached 4,900 zhang.

Chu Ming dominated the illusion battlefield trial with precise command, devastating combat skill, and a strike that shattered the realm-eye core, while the other trial-takers struggled to survive. After two participants were eliminated for soul damage, Leng Wuya announced a new trial focused on bloodlines and summoned an ancient mirror.

• The Myriad Law Star Stele resonated with Chu Ming’s seven laws, and Leng Wuya showed him rare approval before advancing eight trial-takers to the next round.

• Chu Ming located and shattered the battlefield’s realm-eye core, ending the illusion and becoming the first participant to clear the trial.
• Leng Wuya eliminated the white-haired old Daoist and the black-robed figure because their souls and Dao hearts had been too badly damaged, leaving five participants.
• Leng Wuya explained that the next trial would assess bloodline potential and produced an ancient round mirror.

Chu Ming’s bloodline test revealed a suspected Ancient War God Bloodline, and he advanced with nine other candidates to the Star Game. In the law-based chess trial, he barely countered Leng Wuya’s increasingly complex attacks as the match continued.

• The Heavenly Martial Sacred Ancestor, Xuanming Old Ancestor, Cloud Venerable Heavenly Lord, Taiwu Heavenly Lord, and Purple-Eyed Demon Venerable underwent the Bloodline Star Mirror test before Chu Ming awakened a vast dark-gold light and an Ancient War Soul phantom.
• Leng Wuya suspected Chu Ming possessed an Ancient War God Bloodline and advanced him alongside the other four candidates; Ancient Sword, Demon Ni, Tian Ancestor, Ancestor Liu, and the Withered Old Woman also qualified through a hidden selection.
• Leng Wuya warned the ten candidates that the next trials could cause death, then granted them three days to recover.
• Ancestor Liu and Tian Ancestor secretly told Chu Ming that Canggan’s future depended on the candidates and warned him not to trust Leng Wuya completely.
• After the rest period, Leng Wuya began the Star Game, transporting each candidate into a law-based chess trial where they had to endure for an incense stick’s burning time.
• Chu Ming countered Leng Wuya’s extreme-cold and spatial-severing piece, then used Golden Sun, Annihilation Ruin, and Yimu Vitality laws to withstand further attacks.

• Chu Ming lost the Star Game as the time limit expired, but survived alongside the withered Old Woman and Ancestor Liu while the other contenders were eliminated.

• Chu Ming defeated the guardians through the seventh floor, while the withered Old Woman and Ancestor Liu were eliminated and left him alone in the tower.
• Chu Ming defeated the eighth-floor puppet by exploiting a brief opening in its six-weapon attack rhythm, then climbed to the final floor gravely wounded.

• Stellar energy began healing Chu Ming, the ninth floor lit up over Canggan Continent, and Leng Wuya announced that Chu Ming had passed the tower.

Chu Ming passed the Soul Tribulation Realm and commanded a fleet to defeat pirates attacking Grayrock C, then entered Leng Wuya’s final Starfield Projection trial. The trial began with Chu Ming facing Leng Wuya’s energy projection in a violent simulated starfield.

• Chu Ming saw through the Soul Tribulation Realm’s illusions of fear, desire, and regret, then destroyed the Heaven-Asking Pavilion Master’s lingering resentment with his heart-blade.
• The Soul Tribulation Realm left the Withered-Wood Old Woman and Ancestor Liu gravely injured, while Chu Ming emerged as the only participant still standing.
