• The ship's passengers fell unconscious, while Zhang Tianji and the other Longevity realm beings stared silently at Yu Ci from the edge of the rippling void.

Zhang Tianji realized Yu Ci had displayed the supreme divine ability of a Self-Created World after the Mountain-Moving Cloud Boat vanished. As Wan Feiluo raised the Earth Bone Array and a mysterious force began targeting the observers, You Ziwo and Yu Ci disappeared from within the array.

Yu Ci fought the Rakshasa Ghost King within the Realm of Truth, where he realized that victory depended on creating and manipulating laws in a realm otherwise devoid of them. Outside the realm, observers saw Yu Ci gain the upper hand against You Ziwo, though the real battle was far more dangerous.

• Zhang Tianji realized that Yu Ci and You Ziwo had already clashed, and You Ziwo released pressure as a blazing second sun that shook the Earth Bone Array.

• Yu Ci realized that fighting in the Realm of Truth required creating, sustaining, and destroying laws to form a bridge between himself and his opponent.

Yu Ci struggled to defend his Inner Void as the Rakshasa Ghost King attacked and brought Li Huantian’s legal projection crashing into his realm. As the Human World Realm collapsed, Yu Ci submerged into the lake and summoned a host of monstrous forms that roared, “Enter the demonic!”

• The Rakshasa Ghost King repeatedly battered Yu Ci’s Inner Void, while her influence turned much of the Human World Realm dark red.
• Yu Ci expanded the Inner Void’s distortion to encompass You Ziwo, cutting off her channel for venting pressure and forcing both sides into the same battlefield.

• Yu Ci sank beneath the lake as the sky darkened, a bright moon rose, and monstrous heads and limbs emerged from the blood-red water, crying, “Enter the demonic!”

Yu Ci trapped the Rakshasa Ghost King's Li Huantian projection inside the chaotic Myriad Demon Pool and studied how its laws formed, hoping to develop his own independent domain. As the projection adapted and manifested a sturdy city above the blood sea, Yu Ci recognized that it looked familiar.

• Yu Ci used the Myriad Demon Pool to contain the Li Huantian projection, relying on the Zhaoshen Bronze Mirror to suppress the realm’s unstable laws.
• Yu Ci considered using the Myriad Demon Pool to develop an independent domain, since its chaotic laws offered a chance to innovate beyond his existing abilities.

• The Rakshasa Ghost King changed tactics and spread the projection’s power through the Myriad Demon Pool as threads of rain.

Yu Ci recognized Li Huantian as a defense system built with the sea-human alien race’s techniques and realized the Rakshasa Ghost King had used the Myriad Demon Pool’s demons to power a Great Abyss Soul Shock Cannon. After diverting the cannon’s strike away from his inner void, he understood that the Rakshasa Ghost King had found the array eye and was trying to destroy the Myriad Demon Pool.

• Yu Ci recognized Li Huantian’s architecture and talisman patterns as the work of the sea-human alien race, whom the Rakshasa Ghost King had conquered and brought to the Blood Prison Ghost Manor.
• Yu Ci sensed an abnormal current near Li Huantian as millions of demons flared with killing intent, then watched the city drain the front ranks and illuminate its cannon-like talisman formations.
• Yu Ci identified the weapon as a Great Abyss Soul Shock Cannon as Li Huantian consumed the demons’ evil thoughts and fired a blast that extinguished the Myriad Demon Pool’s bright moon.

• Yu Ci concluded that the Rakshasa Ghost King had discovered the Myriad Demon Pool’s array eye and intended to destroy it.

Yu Ci, badly wounded by the Great Abyss Soul Shock Cannon, summoned a red-robed boy whose sword strike shattered the Earth Bone Array and gravely wounded You Ziwo, turning the battle against the Rakshasa Sect forces. You Ziwo and Wan Feiluo fled as darkness spread across the cloud sea.

• You Ziwo escaped in a rainbow while Wu Yuanchen struck the injured Wan Feiluo, who fled in blood-red cloud vapor.
• Xiao Shenguang suffered backlash from the sword intent as the void darkened and swallowed the light.

Yu Ci used the Profound Ice Dissolution to freeze the Myriad Demon Pool and stop the Rakshasa Ghost King's Great Abyss Soul Shock Cannon from firing, but his inner void was badly damaged and the threats against him remained. The frozen demonic intent contained the immediate danger, while the Rakshasa Ghost King's attack and the wider pressure from the Rakshasa Sect and Black Heaven Cult still threatened Yu Ci.

• Xiao Shenguang became isolated beneath the strange moonlight, unable to use his power, and fell into the blood sea of the Myriad Demon Pool.
• As the blood sea's demonic intent overcame Xiao Shenguang, he joined the fiends in chanting for entry into the demonic path, enlarging a rift in the void and hastening the Great Abyss Soul Shock Cannon's charge.
• Yu Ci sent a line of ice through the realms and into the Myriad Demon Pool, freezing the blood sea, its fiends, and the cannon's firing mechanisms.
• Yu Ci realized his inner void had been damaged by the cannon and that he had narrowly avoided being driven into another battle by his demonic thoughts.
• Yu Ci recognized that the Rakshasa Ghost King remained in the Myriad Demon Pool and that he still faced the Rakshasa Sect, the Black Heaven Cult, and further dangers.

• Yu Ci discovered that the separated bricks aboard the Three Treasures Ship formed a nearly complete Great Abyss Soul Shock Cannon pattern.

• The wall's patterns lit up, and incomplete figures emerged from it as battle cries rang above the frozen sea of blood.

Yu Ci used the Great Abyss Soul Shock Cannon and the Grand Profound Seal to understand the Rakshasa Ghost King’s emotional power and expose her position. He ended his defensive retreat by firing seven shots toward the Ziwei Enclosure and the Northern Dipper, turning its seven stars dark red.

• Yu Ci redirected the demonic intent and malicious thoughts from the Myriad Demon Pool into Taiyuan City’s ruined walls, reviving the phantoms and studying the Great Abyss Soul Shock Cannon.

Yu Ci resisted the Rakshasa Ghost King’s emotional assault and discovered that she had been wounded, while her fury spread through the True Realm and turned its inhabitants against him. He countered by focusing on the Realm of Truth, where he began imprinting a new world into existence through Ziwei Emperor's Command.

At the Eight Sceneries Palace, the elders discussed the mysterious Later Sage, You Rui, and the changes to the realm’s laws, but they could not determine whether the Later Sage had become an earthly immortal or a divine lord.

• Daoist Xiao returned to the palace and entered seclusion after two disruptions in the Heaven and Earth Law System smoothed over.
• The Eight Sceneries Palace elders wondered whether the Later Sage had taken the supreme seat of an earthly immortal or the throne of a divine lord.

• The Eight Sceneries Palace cultivators concluded that Yu Ci’s cultivation and laws allowed him to serve as the foundation for the art of Descent of the Gods.
• The cultivators debated whether the Later Sage came from outside the realm or a great world, and wondered how he had attained divine lord status.

After Ye Chi was injured and the others fell asleep, Lu Ya fled with Xiao Jiu as hostile cultivators pursued them.

• A Netherworld Patrol Chariot drawn by Three-Path Birds appeared, and Lu Ya ushered Xiao Jiu, Shen Ya, Xiao Wu, Dian Dian, and Ye Chi aboard to travel toward Xi Yu Lake.
