Yu Ci repaired the Zhaoshen Bronze Mirror while considering how to establish a Divine Lord method that could offer Madam Huanyong a genuine path forward without repeating the Primordial Demon Lord’s system. He completed the mirror’s metal form in the Inner Void, where it began to transform the Myriad Demon Pool.

• Yu Ci gathered the materials to repair the Zhaoshen Bronze Mirror and entered closed-door cultivation.
• Yu Ci studied the risks of the Seed Demon Arts and the Primordial Demon Lord’s vast influence as he sought a sound foundation for his Divine Lord method.
• Yu Ci recognized that Madam Huanyong needed a meaningful reward and a path to advancement if she was to join his new order.
• Yu Ci finished shaping the star-refined bronze and sent it into the Inner Void.
• The mirror’s patterns appeared above the Myriad Demon Pool, silencing the demons and turning the blood sea still beneath the shadowed moon.

The Zhaoshen Bronze Mirror created a moonlit path out of the Myriad Demon Pool, and trapped fiends discovered that they could escape its endless torment by reaching the moon. Zhao Xiangshan watched the trial and recognized it as Yu Ci’s experiment in how a divine master should connect with believers.

• The Zhaoshen Bronze Mirror’s radiance formed a halo over the sea of blood, and the first fiend entered it and climbed a path of light toward the sky.
• Millions of fiends crowded into the halo, where many were destroyed by the moonlight or lightning, while those who dissolved failed to return to the sea of blood.
• One fiend slaughtered nearby companions, climbed through the lightning, and begged the powerful will for forgiveness until it reached the moon and vanished through a gate in the void.
• The transcendent fiend’s experience reached the others, and the fiends howled as they realized escape from the sea-of-blood prison was possible.
• Zhao Xiangshan observed the path and understood that Yu Ci was testing how a divine master could form a deep connection with believers through Faith Power and resonance.

Yu Ci reconsidered what he could offer potential believers and identified his unique path as helping them transcend their current limits and begin anew. He concluded that he should imitate the open, expandable methods of the Mystical Gate rather than build a closed system.

• Yu Ci reflected on Madam Huanyong’s needs and realized his cultivation knowledge alone could not persuade her to become a believer.
• Yu Ci connected the aims of the demons, Zhao Xiangshan, Madam Huanyong, and other figures through their shared desire for transcendence.
• Yu Ci recognized that his command of the Law of Life and Death and his Inner Void could help others shed the burdens of their existing systems and begin anew.
• Yu Ci distinguished his individual perspective from the macroscopic perspective of a divine master and considered how to reconcile their competing demands.
• Yu Ci decided that the Primordial Demon Lord’s closed system offered no future and that he should imitate the Mystical Gate’s open and expandable methods.

Yu Ci began reforging the Zhaoshen Bronze Mirror, replacing its demonic patterns and functions with Daoist principles while the Divine Lord Network collapsed. The disruption reached Yu and Li Shan aboard a Mountain-Moving Cloud Boat, where Yu urged Zhang Miaolin to study the talisman texts Heavenly Monarch Yuanxu had given him.

• Yu Ci confirmed that building a system of rules required gradual work, while demons he had elevated began settling in the Inner Void's Human World Realm.
• Yu Ci used the Heart Refining Dharma Fire to replace the mirror's demonic patterns with Daoist talisman patterns and planned to replace demon planting with an immortal registry and talisman register.
• As Yu Ci altered the Zhaoshen Bronze Mirror, the Divine Lord Network began collapsing and affected its believers.
• On a Mountain-Moving Cloud Boat, Zhang Miaolin noticed Yu and Li Shan reacting strangely before Li Shan left to get some air.
• Yu told Zhang Miaolin to study Heavenly Monarch Yuanxu's talisman texts deeply, and Zhang Miaolin eagerly agreed.

Yu Ci completed the initial framework of his Divine Lord System, embedding it into the True Realm’s Heaven and Earth Law System and using Wuyu’s connection as a key reference. He then confronted Madam Huanyong, demanding that she either follow the system’s rules or settle their dispute by force.

• Wuyu entered the Dao realm in meditation, marked a leaf of the Cloud Tower Tree with a seal imprint, and returned to her body as the demonic seed in her soul shattered.
• Yu Ci used Wuyu, Little Five, and other connections to refine his Divine Lord System, while the Zhaoshen Bronze Mirror’s radiance spread spiritual light across the world.
• Yu Ci embedded his system’s principles into the Heaven and Earth Law System, forming an invisible web that could reveal cultivators who touched it.
• Yu Ci’s spreading awareness encountered Madam Huanyong, who had observed his work and understood its methods.
• Xuanhuang raced into the clouds as Yu Qing Xuan froze the outer domain, while Yu Ci took control of the remaining portion of the Zhaoshen Bronze Mirror reserved for Madam Huanyong.
• Yu Ci told Madam Huanyong to follow the system’s rules and negotiate, or prove her strength against him.

Yu Ci completed Madam Huanyong’s pact and used Eternal Azure Sky to establish a new Dao realm in the Realm of Truth, provoking the attention of the True Realm’s mighty powers. After more than half a month of work, he passed the first trial and laid the foundations of his system.

• Xuanhuang confronted Madam Huanyong, who agreed to sign Yu Ci’s pact but warned him about the karma he was taking on.
• Madam Huanyong signed the pact on the Cloud Tower Tree, and the last Demonic Sect region in the Zhaoshen Bronze Mirror was absorbed into Yu Ci’s system as her demon seed shattered.
• Yu Ci activated Eternal Azure Sky and used its overlapping voids with his Inner Void to raise a new Dao realm in the Realm of Truth.
• The Rakshasa Ghost King’s will and other powerful presences arrived as the Heaven and Earth Law Will began treating Yu Ci as a priority threat, but Yu Qing Xuan sealed the void against them.
• Yu Ci worked for more than half a month to complete the Dao realm’s foundations and advance the Zhaoshen Bronze Mirror’s sigils, passing the first trial.

Yu Ci emerged from seclusion, used his authority as Heavenly Monarch Yuanxu to turn away the gathered powers, and then sought to strengthen his divine system by locating the Taixiao Divine Court. Zhao Xiangshan concluded that the court was trapped in the dangerous boundary between the true realm and the underwater world beneath Xi Yu Lake.

• Yu Ci left the Ju Jing Workshop in the Tiger Chariot Jade Carriage Hidden Wheel and sensed the Shangqing system resonating through the Realm of Truth.
• Yu Qing Xuan withdrew the defenses, and Lianshan of the Eight Sceneries Palace greeted Yu Ci as Heavenly Monarch Yuanxu.
• Yu Ci confirmed his identity but refused to receive the gathered visitors, and the various factions withdrew.
• Yu Ci considered the need to secure a permanent foundation for his system and turned his attention toward the Taixiao Divine Court beneath Xi Yu Lake.
• Yu Ci asked Zhao Xiangshan to assess the three locations where he had sensed the court, and Zhao Xiangshan judged it was trapped in the boundary between the true realm and the water world.

Yu Ci weighed the right moment to seek the Taixiao Divine Court while the Xiyu Alliance tried to keep him tied to Lan Hai Mountain, and he considered the danger Zhu Yang posed. As he improved the Zhaoshen Bronze Mirror with Xu Kui’s help, he learned that the Siming Sect and the Hundred Refinements Gate were studying the Great Abyss Soul Shock Cannon for use against the demonic calamity.

• Yu Ci agreed that his resonance with the heavy artifact and his knowledge of the waters improved his chances of finding the Taixiao Divine Court, though the Xiyu Alliance would resist his salvage efforts.
• The Xiyu Alliance ordered Yu Ci to suppress unrest around Lan Hai Mountain, while Zhai Meng declared that the Eastern Branch of the Demonic Sect would maintain its sea-sealing measures until Dong Cangzi’s murder was solved.
• Yu Ci stayed alert to the threat of Zhu Yang and resumed patrolling Ju Jing Workshop, where he strengthened ties with the Hundred Refinements Gate and consulted Xu Kui about artifact crafting.
• Yu Ci applied Xu Kui’s advice and advanced the Zhaoshen Bronze Mirror to roughly thirty percent completion.
• Xu Kui asked Yu Ci about the Great Abyss Soul Shock Cannon and explained that Yang Zhu had found a possible fuel source that might ease the demonic calamity along the Elephant Mountain line.

Yu Ci negotiated with Xu Kui to lend the Ten Yin Manifesting Gauze and share his cannon insights in exchange for the Heavenly Demon Manifesting Gauze, then learned that Gan Shizhen was traveling south to recover from her injuries. After agreeing to Zhao Xiangshan’s plan, Yu Ci sent the false Yin Yang into action, leaving the Heavenly Evasion Sect guards baffled when he vanished.

• Yu Ci showed Xu Kui the Ten Yin Manifesting Gauze and offered to lend it and share his cannon insights in exchange for the Heavenly Demon Manifesting Gauze, which belonged to Yang Zhu.
• Yu Ci asked about Gan Shizhen and learned that she was badly injured and returning south with her family, while Shen Wan clarified that she had not been traveling on the Three Treasures Ship.
• Shen Wan said Qiu Pei had left the ship at Xi Yu Lake and promised to use the Suixin Pavilion’s channels to guide Gan Shizhen onto the ship and care for her.
• Yu Ci agreed to Zhao Xiangshan’s plan and reached the hidden chamber where his false Yin Yang was secluded.
• The false Yin Yang shattered the chamber and its formations with a burst of sword qi, then disappeared as the Heavenly Evasion Sect guards rushed in.

Yu Ci learned that Qiu Pei’s Sky Domain Shuttle had gone missing and feared she was in danger. Aboard the shuttle, Gan Shizhen subdued Qiu Pei, revealed she knew the journey was a trap, and sent her out to keep the shuttle moving while she remained behind, exhausted and injured.

• Yu Ci sent a message through Bai Xiufeng to arrange a visit to Gan Shizhen, then learned the Sky Domain Shuttle carrying Qiu Pei had lost contact.
• Qiu Pei read Lei Tong’s message ordering her to help capture Gan Shizhen and uncover the Siming Sect’s Great Majesty Profound Heaven Righteous Qi.
• Qiu Pei entered Gan Shizhen’s room, where Gan Shizhen silently restrained her with sword fingers.
• Gan Shizhen told Qiu Pei to make the shuttle land, explaining that she had accepted the journey so she could get out and that they had reached Heaven’s Mandate Gorge.
• Gan Shizhen warned Qiu Pei that their qi was bound through Jiehang and that striking her would kill them both, so Qiu Pei left to keep the shuttle moving.
• After Qiu Pei left, Gan Shizhen leaned against the cabin wall, struggling to hold back her injuries as she quietly recited, “Swallows flying away, soaring up and down...”

Qiu Pei was questioned by Wu Yuanlang and Ying Fen about her conversation with Gan Shizhen and the Siming Sect’s lost secret method. Pressured to recount their meeting, she began improvising just as someone knocked on the cabin door.

• Wu Yuanlang brought Qiu Pei into the Sky Domain Shuttle’s main cabin, where Ying Fen demanded to know what Gan Shizhen had told her.
• Wu Yuanlang explained that the Lei clan suspected Gan Shizhen possessed clues to the Siming Sect’s sealed cultivation method.
• Qiu Pei doubted the Lei clan’s simplistic plan and considered whether someone involved in the Siming Sect’s infighting was using them to exploit the upheaval.
• Ying Fen ordered Qiu Pei to repeat every detail of her forty-five-breath conversation with Gan Shizhen, while Wu Yuanlang urged her to act it out.
• Under their pressure, Qiu Pei began inventing a detailed account of the meeting, but a knock sounded at the cabin door.

Qiu Pei discovered that Gan Shizhen had used the Jiehang art to trigger a fight among the Longevity True Men, then escaped the damaged Sky Domain Shuttle with Wei Ru. The fighting stopped when a Heavenly Demon Tide swept past, but Ying Fen revealed himself as Venerable Sky Eagle and turned against Liang Jian.

• Liang Jian entered the cabin, and Ying Fen and Wu Yuanlang concealed the shuttle’s course deviation and approaching Demon Tide.
• Gan Shizhen’s sudden strike shattered the Jiehang art’s balance, sparking a fight between Ying Fen, Wu Yuanlang, and Liang Jian; Qiu Pei escaped the cabin and warned Liang Jian that they were impostors.
• Gan Shizhen carried Wei Ru through a breach in the shuttle and leapt into the outer realm, while Qiu Pei realized the later effects of the Jiehang art had been a bluff.
• The three Longevity True Men stopped fighting as the Heavenly Demon Tide swept near the shuttle, and they spotted Gan Shizhen surviving inside it with a radiant treasure.
• Wu Yuanlang ordered Ying Fen to finish Liang Jian and Qiu Pei, and Ying Fen transformed his face, prompting Liang Jian to identify him as Venerable Sky Eagle.

Venerable Sky Eagle and True Lord Hundred Battles killed Liang Jian aboard the Sky Domain Shuttle, while Juduoluo’s attempt to assassinate Gan Shizhen failed. As the three conspirators turned to flee and erase Qiu Pei’s memories, an unknown voice spoke to her.

• Venerable Sky Eagle revealed his identity and killed Liang Jian while Qiu Pei was trapped in his domain.
• Venerable Sky Eagle and True Lord Hundred Battles watched Gan Shizhen carry Wei Ru through the Demon Tide and discussed their plot against her.
• Juduoluo, disguised as Wei Ru, attacked Gan Shizhen, but she repelled him with the Demon-Slaying Divine Edge.
• Gan Shizhen accused Juduoluo, Venerable Sky Eagle, and True Lord Hundred Battles of spreading Parasitic Yuan Worms and plotting against Siming Sect.
• Juduoluo said Gan Shizhen had used the Heart Stabilizing Hairpin to protect herself and left with the others to appear in the south.
• Juduoluo sent Heavenly Demons into the shuttle to overwhelm Qiu Pei, but a voice asked her what she had been told before leaving the sect.

Yang Zhu emerged from the delusion realm and confronted Juduoluo, Venerable Sky Eagle, and True Lord Hundred Battles, revealing that she had secretly planted a mental hook in Juduoluo. As they faced the demon tide, Gan Shizhen fought through a demonic dragon, while Yang Zhu explained why she had survived and remained at her side.

• Qiu Pei's memories and Juduoluo's leaked aura intensified the delusion realm until Yang Zhu stepped out and Qiu Pei was drained into ash.
• Juduoluo recognized Yang Zhu's teleportation and realized she had planted a hidden hook in his mind by using memories of Wei Ru.
• Yang Zhu shattered the Sky Domain Shuttle and confronted Juduoluo, Venerable Sky Eagle, and True Lord Hundred Battles in the void.
• A demonic dragon attacked Gan Shizhen, who charged through it, killed a True Man-tier Heavenly Demon Kin, and wounded two Outer Realm Calamity Demons.
• Yang Zhu told Juduoluo that Gan Shizhen had survived because Yan Shihai entrusted her with the Heart Stabilizing Hairpin and she was capable, principled, and clear-headed.

Yang Zhu confronted Extreme Ancestor, who had possessed Xie Kangling, and accused him of orchestrating Shangqing’s fall to seize its systems of cultivation. Extreme Ancestor revealed he had sought Yang Zhu’s tribulation-crossing method, and the two prepared to test their sealing arts and sword technique against each other.

• Yang Zhu recognized that the figure wearing Xie Kangling’s body was Extreme Ancestor and challenged him over the cause of Shangqing’s demonic calamity.
• Yang Zhu argued that Extreme Ancestor had manipulated Xie Kangling’s pride and the Ziwei Emperor’s Command to drive Shangqing toward ruin.
• Extreme Ancestor admitted that he had hoped to seize Shangqing’s Taixiao Divine Court and Thirty-Six Heavens, while noting that many forces had contributed to the destruction.
• Extreme Ancestor explained that meeting Yang Zhu had helped him understand their similar circumstances and that he had wanted to study Yang Zhu’s secret method for crossing tribulations.
• Extreme Ancestor unleashed his law-level freezing seal and challenged Yang Zhu to judge his skill against Taixuan’s.
• Yang Zhu revealed that he had recently mastered a method of his own, became insubstantial, and unleashed a sharp sword intent against Extreme Ancestor.

Yang Zhu and Gan Shizhen fought Juduoluo and the other demons as the Extreme Ancestor watched from within the Frozen Silence Demon Kingdom. After Gan Shizhen was trapped in a battle array, Yang Zhu abruptly switched targets and attacked the Extreme Ancestor, revealing an unfamiliar sword technique.

• Yang Zhu struck Venerable Sky Eagle with one sword, shattering his boundary domain and destabilizing his realm.
• Yang Zhu appeared beside Gan Shizhen, and Juduoluo was wounded when he dodged Yang Zhu’s sword into the Demon-Slaying Divine Edge.
• True Lord Hundred Battles formed the Heavenly Demon Battle Array from the demon tide, trapping Gan Shizhen and forcing her to rely on the Heart Stabilizing Hairpin.
• Juduoluo kept Yang Zhu occupied and taunted him and Gan Shizhen while the Extreme Ancestor held back.
• Yang Zhu reappeared beside the Extreme Ancestor and unleashed a boundary domain that vaporized tens of thousands of heavenly demons, leaving the Extreme Ancestor puzzled by his sword technique.

Extreme Ancestor tested Yang Zhu’s strange balance of demonic contamination, sword intent, and cultivation, then attacked to expose its weaknesses. Yang Zhu escaped the Seven Annihilation Tribulation Hand but was trapped in the Frozen Silence Demon Kingdom’s cold tide, where he broke his balance and began cutting through the encirclement.

• Xie Kangling disappeared into the Frozen Silence Demon Kingdom as Extreme Ancestor studied Yang Zhu’s concealed sword intent and distorted cultivation.
• Yang Zhu devoured the heavenly demons’ mixed qi, leading Extreme Ancestor to identify his method as a fusion of the Great Abyss Soul Shock Cannon’s principles and the God Slaying Thorn sword intent.
• Extreme Ancestor struck Yang Zhu with the Seven Annihilation Tribulation Hand, causing Yang Zhu’s realm and sword intent to separate and his realm to collapse.
• Yang Zhu used the God Slaying Thorn to escape the palm’s annihilation, but Extreme Ancestor recognized that his sword technique was an imperfect imitation.
• Extreme Ancestor surrounded Yang Zhu with a freezing tide, and Yang Zhu broke his balance with a piercing howl before splitting the tide with a palm strike.

Yang Zhu’s demonic transformation formed a domain as he maintained a dangerous balance, while Extreme Ancestor expanded the Frozen Silence Demon Kingdom to threaten Gan Shizhen. Yang Zhu stopped moving, and Juduoluo landed a near-fatal strike on Gan Shizhen.

• Yang Zhu’s sword intent failed to strike Xie Kangling’s true body, while Extreme Ancestor watched Yang Zhu’s changing state.
• Extreme Ancestor observed that Yang Zhu’s demonic resonance had formed a domain, and Yang Zhu used the demon tide to search for him while maintaining a precarious balance.
• Extreme Ancestor expanded the Frozen Silence Demon Kingdom to encompass Gan Shizhen’s battlefield, forcing Yang Zhu to stop his sword attack.
• Yang Zhu stood in the demon tide with his body and spirit irreversibly transforming, while Extreme Ancestor hid Xie Kangling deeper within the kingdom.
• Juduoluo exploited the distorted void to pierce through Gan Shizhen’s Heart Stabilizing Hairpin defense, nearly severing her spine.

The Extreme Ancestor discovered that Yang Zhu’s words had drawn Madam Huanyong into the Frozen Silence Demon Kingdom, where she challenged his control of the situation. After they exchanged views and identified Yang Zhu and Gan Shizhen, Huanyong revealed she had come to the Outer Domain of the Nine Heavens on someone else’s behalf; another will then arrived.

• The Extreme Ancestor traced Yang Zhu’s words through a legal vein and raised a barrier when he sensed an outside consciousness approaching.
• Madam Huanyong used the Heavenly Desire Stain Soul Searching Method to reach into the Frozen Silence Demon Kingdom, but the Extreme Ancestor identified her and confronted her.
• The Extreme Ancestor criticized the Yuran-centered Original Meaning Faction method, and Madam Huanyong’s momentum weakened as she listened.
• The Extreme Ancestor congratulated Huanyong on escaping the sacred canon’s name registry and warned her not to get entangled in trouble.
• Huanyong asked whether Yang Zhu and Gan Shizhen had offended the Extreme Ancestor, and he admitted he had set a trap for them.
• Huanyong said she had been entrusted to handle matters in the Outer Domain of the Nine Heavens, then another will arrived through the legal veins.

Yang Zhu received a divine decree that strengthened his sword strikes, killing Venerable Sky Eagle and badly wounding Juduoluo before Yu Ci entered the Frozen Silence Demon Kingdom. Madam Huanyong helped drive back the demons, and Yu Ci reunited with Gan Shizhen, leaving the confrontation with the Extreme Ancestor unresolved.

• Yang Zhu accepted a decree from a law structure linked to Heavenly Monarch Yuanxu's work, and its blessing transformed his demon-tainted power into sharper sword strikes.
• Yang Zhu's sword intent nearly severed Juduoluo's head and killed Venerable Sky Eagle, while True Lord Hundred Battles retreated into his battle array.
• The Extreme Ancestor recognized the decree's law structure as a derivative of Heavenly Monarch Yuanxu's earlier work and watched Yu Ci arrive through the Law of Life and Death.
• Yu Ci greeted the Extreme Ancestor and questioned Yang Zhu for drawing him into the confrontation before the outer domain had been combed.
• Madam Huanyong used her Lust-Taint Divine Power to disable the heavenly demons, badly injure True Lord Hundred Battles, and drive Juduoluo away while protecting Gan Shizhen.
• Yu Ci bowed to Gan Shizhen and apologized for letting her see him in a poor state, and she returned his greeting.

Yu Ci examined the Heavenly Demon Manifesting Gauze and discovered that its imitated sword intent had worsened Yang Zhu’s demon taint when combined with the Great Abyss Soul Shock Cannon. As they considered who had set the trap and why Yang Zhu had escalated the situation, Yu Ci recognized that they still had to resolve the crisis at hand.

• Yu Ci sent Madam Huanyong to escort Gan Shizhen to rest, but Gan Shizhen stayed to seek a response from Yang Zhu.
• Yang Zhu revealed the Heavenly Demon Manifesting Gauze he had used to control his demon taint and explained that Gan Shizhen had recognized its flaw in time.
• Yu Ci found that the gauze imitated the God Slaying Thorn’s sword intent, and that its use with the Great Abyss Soul Shock Cannon had magnified the danger to Yang Zhu.
• Yu Ci considered whether the gauze and cannon had been arranged as a trap, possibly involving the Rakshasa Ghost King, but found no evidence or clear motive.
• Zhao Xiangshan suggested that drawing Yu Ci into the affair was itself a significant achievement, and Yu Ci inferred that Yang Zhu had intensified the crisis to force the Siming Sect to survive amid chaos.

Yu Ci demanded that Extreme Ancestor surrender Xie Kangling’s remains so he could bury his senior brother, but Extreme Ancestor refused and prepared to leave with the body. As the Huayang Spear arrived from Huayang Cave, Yu Ci faced the enemy under the weight of representing the Shangqing system.

• Yu Ci identified Xie Kangling’s connection to Old Mr. Zhu and resolved to bring his remains back for proper burial.
• Yu Ci asked Extreme Ancestor to hand over Xie Kangling’s remains, but Extreme Ancestor proposed taking them to the Tai Xiao Divine Court and then burying them there.
• Yu Ci rejected Extreme Ancestor’s proposal, making conflict unavoidable.
• Extreme Ancestor summoned the Huayang Spear from Huayang Cave, where Xie Kangling’s remnant had been cultivating demonic arts.
• “Xie Kangling” took the spear and announced his departure, while Yu Ci realized he was facing a foe comparable to the Rakshasa Ghost King.
• As the Huayang Spear pointed at him, a mournful bell rang from the high platform spread through the Realm of Truth.

Yu Ci resonated with the remnants of the Shangqing system and witnessed the fall of Huayang Mountain through the memories of its cultivators. As Extreme Ancestor tested the revived system by attacking Yang Zhu, the Huayang Demonic Spear overwhelmed Yang Zhu’s defenses and left him nailed in midair.

• Yu Ci’s consciousness resonated with remnants of the Shangqing system across the Three Northern Lakes and revealed its damaged, fragmented state.
• Yu Ci entered the memories of the Shangqing cultivators and witnessed Ancestor Yang Yue ring the Huayang Bell as Shangqing fell to the demonic tribulation.
• Xie Kangling wielded the Huayang Demonic Spear as Extreme Ancestor combined the Frozen Silence Demon Kingdom with the Huayang Demon Kingdom.
• Extreme Ancestor sent the spear against Yang Zhu to test the strength of the revived Shangqing system and the sides’ law-structures.
• Yang Zhu failed to break through the reinforced demon kingdom, and the spear struck him, pinning him in midair as the impact disrupted the laws within his Great Abyss Soul Shock Cannon.

Yu Ci used Yang Zhu’s resonance with the emotions of the Shangqing cultivators to shift the battle against Extreme Ancestor and create an opening. As the chapter ended, the Equality Bead disrupted the Huayang Demonic Spear, and Madam Huanyong’s desire-contamination divine ability cracked it.

• Extreme Ancestor battered Yang Zhu with the Huayang Demonic Spear while Yu Ci realized Yang Zhu was waiting for a Later Sage.
• Yang Zhu’s despair resonated with the emotions of countless Shangqing cultivators, allowing Yu Ci to channel their power into the Great Abyss Soul Shock Cannon’s laws.
• Yang Zhu broke free of Frozen Silence and the Huayang Demon Kingdom with a self-wounding sword strike and clashed with Extreme Ancestor.
• Yu Ci sent the Equality Bead through the clash, causing the Huayang Demonic Spear’s power to rebound against Xie Kangling.
• Yang Zhu struck Xie Kangling’s mind and spirit, and Yu Ci directed Madam Huanyong’s desire-contamination divine ability at the spear.
• Madam Huanyong’s divine ability cracked the Huayang Demonic Spear.

Yu Ci and Yang Zhu gained an advantage after Yu Ci’s attacks cracked the Huayang Demonic Spear, forcing the Extreme Ancestor to reassess Yu Ci’s abilities and seek a way to exploit his lower realm. The Extreme Ancestor withdrew the demon kingdom’s pressure, but the resulting distortion disrupted Yang Zhu’s Heavenly Demon Void boundary, and Xie Kangling launched a fist strike.

• Yu Ci’s three attacks struck Xie Kangling’s spirit and mystery, cracked the Huayang Demonic Spear, and stirred the forces within his demon-stained soul.
• The Extreme Ancestor recognized that Yu Ci used the Shangqing system without depending on it and considered Yu Ci’s low realm and Dao foundation potential weaknesses.
• Yu Ci retreated while Yang Zhu interfered with the demon kingdom’s operation, and they waited for the Eight Sceneries Palace and Xiyu Alliance to intervene.
• The Extreme Ancestor contracted the Frozen Silence Demon Kingdom and expelled Yang Zhu, intensifying distortion in the extraterritorial laws around Xie Kangling.
• Yang Zhu escaped the demon kingdom’s restrictions but remained affected by the distorted laws, as Xie Kangling let the damaged spear drift away and struck with his fist.
