• Zhang Yuan watched the attack from the Ancient Void Realm and decided to follow the attackers to learn more about the Goddess Clan.

He left poised to challenge the Earthly Sovereign Realm and considering whether Luoshen could be revived.

• Zhang Yuan spent a month recrossing the Sovereign’s Minor Three Tribulations and then looked at his Dharma Body, wondering whether Luoshen could still be revived.

• Zhang Yuan endured repeated bodily destruction and reconstruction as his spiritual energy gathered the power to transform him.
• Xiao Xuan, Gu Yuan, Ying Huanhuan, and the others watched Zhang Yuan's breakthrough in the Ancient Void Realm.
• After three days and nights, Zhang Yuan's body reformed, his Sovereign Sea became present in every cell, and he attained genuine Earthly Sovereign power.
• Qing Yanjing and Lin Xueyao said Zhang Yuan had only succeeded halfway because he had not completed the spiritual tribulation.
• Ying Huanhuan explained that the Sovereign Spiritual Tribulation tested the Sovereign Dharma Body and that Zhang Yuan's Thunder God Dharma Body seemed too powerful for the Great Thousand World Will to test.
• Zhang Yuan refused to bypass the trial and called for the Sovereign Spiritual Tribulation to come.

Zhang Yuan faced the Spiritual Tribulation and turned its lightning into power for himself and his treasures. As three final bolts descended, he sent the Dragon Phoenix Thunder Emperor Flame to swallow them and undergo a transformation.

• Zhang Yuan summoned the Spiritual Tribulation and explained that it targeted the Sovereign Dharma Body, then revealed his Thunder God Dharma Body to meet it.

• Zhang Yuan used Glass Barrier to withstand a massive sword aura, but a stronger strike cracked the barrier.
• Zhang Yuan recognized Luo Cangqiong’s Heaven-Man Unity attack and summoned his Heaven and Earth Dharma Idol with Thunder God Descends to face him.

Zhang Yuan revealed that Luoshen was alive and hidden in a sealed space beneath the Luo River, but her worsening Divine Soul injuries threatened her life. Luo Cangqiong offered to refine Zhang Yuan a Heavenly Venerable Spirit Body if he swore to do his utmost to save her, and Zhang Yuan began weighing the proposal.

• Zhang Yuan blocked Luo Cangqiong’s sword strike with Thunder God Descends, then faced him and apologized for entering the Luo River uninvited.
• Zhang Yuan told Luo Cangqiong that Luoshen was alive beneath the river and explained that only someone who reached the Heavenly Sovereign realm could sense her hidden space.

• Luo Cangqiong explained that an Evil Blood Heart Demon Seed was consuming his soul, and Zhang Yuan offered to remove it.
• Zhang Yuan used Luo Cangqiong’s entry into the Eight Ancestor Glass Tower and the Thunder God Visualization Diagram to suppress him and purge the seed over three days.

• Xiao Yan said he had finally gotten ahead of Zhang Yuan, and Zhang Yuan challenged him to show Emperor Yan’s moves.

• The Heavenly King Hall appeared at the Demon Prison headquarters in the West Xuan Great Desert, and the Lord of Darkness and Flame Lord confronted him as armies from both continents surrounded the city.
• The Heavenly King Hall declared that he would give them a welcoming gift and called for the Demon Emperor to descend.

The Eight Ancient Lords and their allies overwhelmed the Abyssal Demon Clan’s summoned threats, but the King Halls’ apparent losses triggered a hidden plan. As a colossal demon rose from beneath the earth, Ying Huanhuan recognized it as the Image of the Demon Sovereign.

• The Heavenly King Hall summoned the Phantom of the Alien Demon Emperor, but Bo Qingqing used the Dark Ancestral Talisman Spirit to destroy it.

• A colossal demonic figure emerged from beneath the desert, and Ying Huanhuan recognized it as the Image of the Demon Sovereign.

The Abyssal Demon Clan sacrificed its forces and joined the Demon Emperor’s arm to the Image of the Demon Sovereign, then the Eight Ancient Lords formed the Eight Ancestor Glass Tower to destroy it. Just as the image began to crack, the Heavenly King Hall revealed that the clan’s real plan was to break the seal on the plane rift and bring the Demon Emperor into the world.

• The Heavenly King Hall revealed that the Alien Demons were sacrificing themselves to empower the Image of the Demon Sovereign, and the Demon Emperor’s arm emerged and fused with it.
• Ying Huanhuan attacked the Image of the Demon Sovereign while Zhang Yuan held back, then Xiao Yan joined him after completing his tribulation.

• The Heavenly King Hall appeared inside the Image of the Demon Sovereign and revealed that the Abyssal Demon Clan intended to break the seal on the plane rift and let the Demon Emperor return.

The Heavenly King Hall used the Alien Demon Emperor's Image and Demon Emperor's Hand to lure out the Symbol Ancestor, allowing the Demon Emperor to strike the Plane Seal from within. As the Symbol Ancestor vanished, Ying Huanhuan called on everyone to help her become an ancestor, while Zhang Yuan concealed that he was still battling elsewhere.

• The Heavenly King Hall combined the Demon Emperor's Hand with the Eight Ancient Lords' power to send a destructive beam toward the Plane Seal, and Ying Huanhuan revealed the ancient formation protecting it.
• Zhang Yuan explained to Xiao Yan why they had to make the Demon Emperor come to their world, where the Plane Embryo would suppress his strength, rather than fight him on enemy territory.
• The Symbol Ancestor's phantom erased the beam, but the Demon Emperor used a black strike from within the seal to pierce him, revealing that the Demon Emperor's Hand had enabled the ambush.
• Zhang Yuan warned Xiao Yan that the Outer Realm Evil Clan were master schemers, and Xiao Yan secretly sent a flame to record the battle and gather the Symbol Ancestor's fading power.
• The Symbol Ancestor told the Eight Ancient Lords that they were his contingency, encouraged Ying Huanhuan, and disappeared.
• Ying Huanhuan asked everyone to help her become an ancestor, while Xiao Yan teased Zhang Yuan about deceiving her and Zhang Yuan insisted he was tricking the Ice Master instead.

Zhang Yuan secretly prepared to refine the Plane Spirit while the Ice Master broke through to Lower Earthly Sovereign and the Demon Emperor began forcing his way into the plane. As the Demon Emperor attacked, the Ice Master discovered the invasion had been a lure, and Zhang Yuan casually commanded the Plane Rift to close.

• Zhang Yuan left the Ancient Void Realm to refine the Plane Embryo, while the Seven Ancient Lords helped Ying Huanhuan cultivate.
• Ten months later, the Demon Emperor attacked the Eight Ancestor Glass Tower, but Ying Huanhuan emerged as a Lower Earthly Sovereign and shattered his hand.
• Ying Huanhuan cultivated the Snow Girl Mingyu Dharma Body, passed the Spiritual Tribulation, and returned to find Zhang Yuan nearly finished refining the Plane Spirit.

• The Demon Emperor destroyed the Plane Seal and forced the Plane Rift open, but Ying Huanhuan blocked his attack with the Ten Thousand Realms Ice Seal.
• Zhang Yuan glanced at the invading Demon Emperor and casually ordered the Plane Rift to close.

The Ice Master and four other Lower Earthly Sovereigns fought the Demon Emperor as he unleashed a costly seal and brought the Abyssal Demon Clan’s army through the plane rift. Just as the Demon Emperor seemed poised to win, an unknown figure froze all power and space, and the Demon Emperor realized that the figure controlled the Plane Embryo.

• The Demon Emperor attacked the Ice Master, but Zhang Yuan secretly empowered her spear with Chaos Light so she could resist his assault.
• Zi Yan, Xiao Yan, Qing Yanjing, and Zhu Kun joined the Ice Master, and the five Lower Earthly Sovereigns combined their powers to fight the Demon Emperor.
• The Demon Emperor merged with a demonic image, summoned the Primordial Demon Tablet, and brought the Abyssal Demon Clan’s army through the plane rift.
