Taiyuan arrived eager to leave Eastern Continent and fight in Central Continent, but Ye Lin told him his strength would make him only an ordinary soldier there.

Ye Lin examined Taiyuan’s fate and learned that he was destined to die fighting the Heavenly Demon Great World, so he vowed to prevent that ending. Taiyuan doubted Ye Lin’s warning that he would be cannon fodder in the Central Continent, and Ye Lin challenged him to go there and see for himself.

Ye Lin began coordinating the continents and summoned the Eastern Continent’s Mahayana experts to Black Sand Prefecture to prepare for the Heavenly Demon Great World. He remained puzzled by how his One Breath Becomes Three Purities had developed as his decree brought the Eastern Continent’s factions and races into action.

• Ye Lin contacted Xiaoyao and Wu Wang, who headed for the Western and Southern Continents while he stayed in the Eastern Continent.

The dragon-robed ruler of the Nangong Clan ordered an investigation into the Ji Family and threatened to destroy it if its ancestor was dead. Meanwhile, Ye Lin faced an advancing force of Outer Realm Heavenly Demons in Central Continent, whose leader carried a dangerous immortal-path Little Tower.

• The dragon-robed man gave the Third Army its tiger tally and warned its officers that they would be punished if they failed to settle the Empress matter.

Ye Lin was ambushed by six Four-Tribulation Loose Immortals, who trapped him with the Heaven-Suppressing Tower and a five-element formation. The Outer Realm Heavenly Demon then used ancestral dragon qi to summon a golden dragon, and the tower suppressed Ye Lin as the Central Continent experts watched in disbelief.

• The six Outer Realm Heavenly Demons at the level of Four-Tribulation Loose Immortals realized Ye Lin was alive and ordered everyone to form a formation and activate the tower to kill him.

Ye Lin used his Seventh Sword to break the attacks of six Outer Realm Heavenly Demons inside the Heaven-Suppressing Tower. The tower was left close to collapsing, and the six demons were blasted into the mountains below.

• The six Outer Realm Heavenly Demons activated the Heaven-Suppressing Tower together and unleashed attacks strong enough to threaten a Nine-Tribulation Loose Immortal.

• The tower shook and sent a terrifying shockwave at the six Outer Realm Heavenly Demons.
• The six Outer Realm Heavenly Demons were sent flying and crashed through several mountain ranges.

Trapped inside the Heaven-Suppressing Tower, Ye Lin advanced from comprehending rules to borrowing them and declared that the tower would fall to one sword strike. He unleashed an ordinary-looking slash as the tower’s sealing power weakened, leaving the six cultivators outside scrambling to reform their formation.
