Before returning home, the Ten Thousand Dragons Seal reacted to a treasure being contested by Azure Province’s heavenly prodigies, and Zhao Fu went to investigate.

• Zhao Fu gathered blood from sixteen types of divine dragons, immersed himself in it, and pressed the pearl into his Ten Thousand Dragons Seal to begin refining it.

Zhao Fu absorbed the Haotian Sacred Dragon Pearl, strengthening his body and weakening the Imperial Ruin Curse, though his bloodline still failed to advance.

• Zhao Fu and his ministers weighed whether Great Qin should attack Fish Scale World or sign another peace treaty before the agreement expired.

Great Qin used its hidden control of Darkwater Continent to launch a feint against Bluewater Continent, drawing its forces together as enormous monsters advanced. The chapter ended with Bluewater’s army surrounded and facing the monstrous charge.

• The Demon Horn Empire attacked with its demon beasts and Demon Blood soldiers, forcing Zhao Fu to stop his planned assault on Fish Scale World and turn Great Qin to defense.

After Great Qin conquered two more continents, Zhao Fu looked for ways to strengthen his forces and tested whether sea beasts could become monsters. He then witnessed the Imperial Killing Sword World advance, greatly increasing its power and capacity for Sword-Wielding Demonifications.

• Great Qin gained two continents and 11 billion people, but Zhao Fu failed to persuade neighboring worlds to help against the Demon Horn Empire.
• Zhao Fu had the eight Sea Beast Kings drive sea beasts into the Four Soul Demon Realm after Maple Leaf Hunt confirmed they could become only low-level monsters, and only after a long time.
• Zhao Fu entered the Imperial Killing Sword World after the Imperial Killing Sword trembled and found a blood-colored vortex gathering power from a hundred Sword-Wielding Demonifications.
• The Imperial Killing Sword World expanded to the size of a hundred regions, and the Imperial Killing Sword grew stronger and higher in quality.
• The Slaughter Sword Pool expanded tenfold, raising the number of Sword-Wielding Demonifications the world could support to one thousand and leaving Great Qin in need of more sword dao geniuses.

Zhao Fu tried to lure Ancient Sword Sect sword geniuses with a supreme sword intent so he could capture them, but powerful elders arrived and forced him to abandon the plan. When he spotted the Sect Master's wife among the crowd, he prepared Clone Mud Figurines for a new escape and attack strategy.
