As Ye Lin’s victory threatened the Stowaways’ True Immortal battlefield, their Primordial Unity Mystic Immortals discussed what to do, but their factions could not safely intervene.

• Ye Lin recognized the white-robed sword immortal as Wang Xiao'er and learned that his fate had been changed by the destruction of Purple Sky City and Purple Sky Heavenly Palace.
• Wang Xiao'er fought the Stowaways, apparently driven by a grudge against them, and helped Ye Lin.
• The Stowaways watched Ye Lin kill Li Xiaocheng and feared that their True Immortal battlefield would soon be defeated.
• Around one hundred and thirty Stowaways gathered in a hall and discussed how to respond, but their factions could not risk sending Primordial Unity Mystic Immortals to help.

More than a hundred Primordial Unity Mystic Immortals watched Ye Lin and considered killing him to seize his providence, which could let them leave the Demon Domain. They abandoned a plan to attack his group during the chaos, wary of Golden Immortals’ retaliation, and remained focused on Ye Lin.

Ye Lin and the Heaven-Devouring Demon Jar realized the powerful fighters on the battlefield were innate lifeforms, who did not undergo lightning tribulations. Ye Lin suspected Forbidden Void came from beyond the Demon Domain and wondered why its ruler had chosen Poison Venerable, leaving the reason unexplained.

• Ye Lin questioned why the fighters could break through without undergoing lightning tribulations.
• The Heaven-Devouring Demon Jar explained that the fighters were innate lifeforms, favored by Heaven and Earth and exempt from tribulations.
• The Heaven-Devouring Demon Jar reasoned that the innate lifeforms likely came from outside the Demon Domain, since so few remained and the Demon Domain lacked the power to produce so many.
• Ye Lin suspected Forbidden Void was a vast force that had retreated into the Demon Domain and that Poison Venerable had earned its favor by chance.
• Ye Lin wondered what special quality had led Forbidden Void's ruler to single out Poison Venerable.

Ye Lin checked Poison Venerable’s fate panel and learned that his Compatible Body allowed him to cultivate countless methods safely, confirming that no one was conspiring against him. Meanwhile, more than a hundred hulking figures reached the Primordial Unity Mystic Immortal realm, driving the rest to fight frantically for breakthroughs.

• The narration explained that the Forbidden Void's warriors could grow stronger through slaughter but had few chances to fight because the Demon Domain's Golden Immortal factions feared them.

The captured Demon Domain prodigies surrendered, frustrating the hulking cultivators who wanted to kill them and advance their cultivation. Ye Lin considered sparing them after Dugu Feng warned that killing them could unite countless factions against him.

• The hulking cultivators looked to Ye Lin and Poison Venerable for permission to continue fighting, but did not dare act without their approval.

• Forbidden Void spared the old man because of the old friendship between their masters and ordered him to leave.
• The old man withdrew, unwilling to provoke Forbidden Void because a wounded Primordial Unity Golden Immortal remained hidden there.

The factions of the Demon Domain waited for the wounded master of the Forbidden Void to die, believing they could then destroy it and its innate beings. In the Forbidden Void, the old master watched events in the Northern Continent as his middle-aged disciple urged him to settle accounts with their enemies, but the old man counseled patience.

• A Golden Immortal faction leader reasoned that the master of the Forbidden Void was too dangerous to provoke while still alive, despite his wounds from the Human Emperor’s sword.
