Zhao Fu rescued Long Yang from a swarm of void beasts and forced the seven women to lead him to the ruins. After a rival faction yielded the site, Zhao Fu entered the cave with the women and their injured husband, leaving them to face its dangers together.
Zhao Fu's group cleared waves of undead in the ruins, summoned Kalista, and reached a hall guarded by giant skeletons. Zhao Fu failed to subdue the skeletons and ordered the group to kill them.
Zhao Fu and his companions defeated the giant skeletons, summoned Evelynn, and entered a flower-lined corridor filled with illusion-inducing fragrance. They found a way to resist the increasingly potent blood mist by layering their domains together.
Zhao Fu cleared the final chamber of the ruins and summoned LeBlanc, then refused to release Frost and the others as he led the group out. After stopping for the night, the Imperial Ruin Curse flared up, and Zhao Fu forced himself on Lin Yan'er and Frost's group while Long Yang briefly awoke and saw them.
Zhao Fu left Long Yang behind after taking Frost and the others, then sent Molafei to kill him, but Long Yang had disappeared. After entering the eighth level’s Blood Sand Forbidden Zone, Zhao Fu’s group drew the attention of a huge swarm of sandworms, while fleeing contestants tried to use them as bait.
Zhao Fu and his subordinates fought their way through the sandworm swarms to the dangerous land’s depths, where they faced a giant Desert Behemoth. After it feigned submission and swallowed Zhao Fu, he killed it from within and earned 100,000 points.
Zhao Fu claimed third place in the rankings after killing the sand beast and obtained a powerful Sand Pearl. He and his group reached the seventh-level checkpoint, where challengers had to prove their strength by marking a towering stone stele.
Geniuses tested their strength against the stone monument in the Great Void Ruins, but Zhao Fu’s arrival and twelve-inch sword mark eclipsed them all. He entered a black gate with his people, leaving the crowd stunned by the gap between him and the others.
Zhao Fu and his companions entered the seventh layer, crossed its dangerous stone forest, and fought through waves of stone beasts to reach its deepest clearing. There, a powerful stone man appeared and attacked Zhao Fu, but Evelynn confronted it before he could act.
Zhao Fu and his allies fought the powerful Stone Giant, combining their attacks to weaken and restrain it. Zhao Fu ended the chapter by plunging the Death Clan Sword into its chest, leaving the giant gravely wounded.
Zhao Fu subdued Stone Mountain, gained a Myriad-Weight Source Stone, and rose to second place in the rankings. As Zhao Fu headed to search the seventh floor for ruins and a clearance token, Chen Zhenghe approached him and offered his loyalty and a ruin.
Zhao Fu and his companions entered a hidden ruin, where seven handsome men used a hall’s magic to immobilize and arouse them. Zhao Fu broke free, punished the men, and found valuable treasures in a secret chamber before leaving the men dead from exhaustion.
After accepting Chen Zhenghe’s allegiance, Zhao Fu followed him to another ruin and entered a fortress alone, where he faced opponents ordered by clearance prompts to be brutally killed. He killed Diana and Sejuani by different methods, then attacked Shyvana when she appeared.
Zhao Fu fought his way through a trial that forced him to kill and torment women, but refused to violate Ahri when the trial offered him a shortcut. When he tried to withdraw, the trial’s unseen master declared him successful, and Zhao Fu entered a blood-colored room containing a Blood Sword.
Zhao Fu took the Blood Sword, whose evil power tried to corrupt his body and soul, and fought back with the Imperial Killing Sword World. He suppressed the sword and began changing its nature, while a huge crowd gathered outside the ruins and threatened Evelynn and the others.
Zhao Fu claimed the Massacre Sword and freed the eight women bound to it, then continued through the Great Void Ruins with his group. After finding the sixth-level perilous land already cleared, he reached the Nine Kings Spirit Palace on the fifth level and suspected someone else had conquered it as well.
Zhao Fu and his companions found the deepest ruin already claimed and then reached the fifth-floor gate, where challengers had to withstand three attacks from a gate guard to advance. Bai Haoran and Shi Shuge passed the test, while the crowd’s attention turned to their strength and the Dao Cultivation Sect’s rising prestige.
Moon Night passed the gatekeeper’s test and entered the fourth level, while Zang Mingyue arrived and used his status as an Imperial Son to demand that Shi Shuge and other women serve him. A second Imperial Son appeared, and the gatekeeper’s respectful greeting eclipsed Zang Mingyue’s display, leaving his expression ugly.
Zhao Fu confronted Zang Mingyue, the Sixth Imperial Son of the Zang Empire, after Zang Mingyue challenged his identity and attacked him. Their imperial powers clashed in a fierce battle, and Zhao Fu launched seventy-two blood-colored spears at Zang Mingyue as the fight continued.
Zhao Fu and Zang Mingyue fought a destructive battle, each unleashing powerful bloodline and weapon abilities. After their clash devastated the battlefield, Zhao Fu knocked Zang Mingyue into a crater, leaving him badly wounded and struggling to stand.
Zang Mingyue summoned the founding Emperor of the Zang Empire and fought Zhao Fu with overwhelming power. Zhao Fu countered with the Six Paths Demon Idols and the Massacre Sword, leaving their battle at a devastating clash between his slaughtering force and Zang Mingyue’s Blade Sea Killing Domain.
Zhao Fu defeated Zang Mingyue, who escaped the Great Void Ruins and forfeited his points, pushing Zhao Fu to first place in the rankings. After leaving his companions behind at the red gate, Zhao Fu entered the fourth level, the first of the dangerous Dark Three Domains.
Zhao Fu hunted dark-attributed Void Beasts on the second, third, and fourth floors, collecting Darkness Crystals and Dark Ape Hearts that could boost cultivation and grant dark bloodlines. He continued searching for ruins and considered fusing the items into himself to strengthen his Emperor Bloodline, which was close to becoming a Heavenly Saint Bloodline.
Zhao Fu killed the Dark Dragon King and absorbed its King-grade Dark Crystal and Dark Bloodline, but his Emperor Bloodline still fell just short of becoming a Heavenly Saint Bloodline. Elsewhere, a dark queen’s army attacked Bai Shengjun’s five-colored barrier without damaging it.
Zhao Fu accepted Dark Queen Syndra’s surrender to obtain her Dark Source Crystal, then fought Bai Shengjun to protect her. Their battle shook the fourth level, and Zhao Fu’s empowered strike sent Bai Shengjun flying.
