Lian Shan then went to Heavenly Pole Peak, where Xiao Sen discussed how to understand the Divine Path system.

• Heavenly Venerate Boyang questioned You Can about his past dealings with the Rakshasa Ghost King, and You Can agreed to explain them at the meeting.

Eight Sceneries Palace’s leaders decided to have Xin Yi become a Divine Lord and claim the Four Directions Eight Heavens as the price of a deal with Heavenly Monarch Yuanxu. Meanwhile, Xiao Jiu watched tensions rise at Xi Yu Lake as Yu Ci stopped responding and Siding Institute came under attack.

• Yun Xing explained how Divine Lords sought the center of heaven and earth, and Xiao Sen and Lianshan discussed Heavenly Monarch Yuanxu’s prospects and the risks of his temperament.
• Xin Yi proposed that Eight Sceneries Palace create its own Divine Lord, offering himself for the role and arguing that Yuanxu should be made to choose between a deal and the sect’s actions.
• Xiao Sen approved Xin Yi’s plan and marked Eight Sceneries Palace’s traditional sphere of influence as the site for the Three Pure Realms and Great Luo Heaven.
• Xin Yi sat beneath the Purple Extreme Yellow Diagram as clear light rose from him, while Xiao Sen, Lianshan, and Yun Xing watched in silence.
• At Xi Yu Lake, Xiao Jiu spoke with cultivators amid rumors about the Later Sage and Yuanxu, while Siding Institute struggled to repel an Azure Wave Water Mansion attack.
• Xiao Jiu grew anxious because Yu Ci had not responded to Xiao Wu’s reports for half a day, though the Inner Void remained and Senior Brother Shadow Ghost still managed their side.

A void clash near Lan Hai Mountain destabilized storage artifacts and Yi Shui Ju, while the cultivators on Xi Yu Lake sought protection through blessings. Baiyi identified the forces behind the upheaval before a mighty will descended upon the lake.

• A vast, oppressive will descended over Xi Yu Lake as the boat shook violently.

The Boundless Void Divine Lord and the Rakshasa Ghost King joined forces to overwhelm Yu Qing Xuan and the other Earth Immortals in the Realm of Truth. Ye Bin’s sword strike gave Yu Qing Xuan a brief chance to reclaim control, but the group remained trapped in the black tide as an unknown clear light began pushing through it.

• Baiyi explained that the Boundless Void Divine Lord had tracked Yu Qing Xuan through the Sky Mending Net and intercepted her in the Realm of Truth.
• The Boundless Void Divine Lord attacked Yu Qing Xuan, and the Rakshasa Ghost King matched his rhythm, shattering the standoff among the Earth Immortals.

• Ye Bin struck across the sky, disrupting the attackers’ joint rhythm and helping Yu Qing Xuan establish a law domain of her own.
• Yu Qing Xuan, Ye Bin, and Heavenly Venerable Shao remained surrounded by the black tide as a stream of clear light repeatedly emerged through it.

The Great Black Heavenly Buddha Mother Bodhisattva began using her connection to the Candle Dragon King and the witch-fetus in Miao Xiang to build the foundation of her Dao. As the Boundless Void Divine Lord pressed down on the Taixiao Divine Court, the Candle Dragon King struggled against the Bodhisattva’s influence, while she focused on controlling the converging powers within Miao Xiang.

• Yu Qing Xuan connected to the tree sprout and escaped the Realm of Truth with Ye Bin, while Heavenly Venerable Shao remained untraceable.
• The Boundless Void Divine Lord used the tree sprout’s residual laws to press a vast black tide down upon the Four Directions Eight Heavens and the Taixiao Divine Court.
• The Rakshasa Ghost King urged the Great Black Heavenly Buddha Mother Bodhisattva to seize her opportunity, and the Bodhisattva divided her attention between Miao Xiang and the Candle Dragon King.
• The Candle Dragon King discovered that the Bodhisattva’s influence had infiltrated his bloodline through the Future Star Tribulation Scripture and used his divine abilities to try to escape it.
• Miao Xiang’s witch-fetus awakened as divine scripts formed a revolving wheel on her abdomen, while Bai Lian protected her and the Bodhi tree’s life force flowed into her.
• The Bodhisattva’s system, the watery world’s laws, and the Candle Dragon King’s innate ability converged through the divine wheel, and she focused her mind on controlling their conflicts.

Bi Chao carried out Rakshasa Ghost King's decree, sacrificing Heavenly Delusion City's believers to manifest Li Huantian and then leaving the city with its remaining people. The blood sacrifice added a new system component to Great Black Heavenly Buddha Mother Bodhisattva's already overloaded foundation, and she began to lose control as the Boundless Void Divine Lord withdrew.

• Bi Chao ordered the blood sacrifice in Heavenly Delusion City, where believers offered their lives and a close friend ascended toward Li Huantian.
• The sacrifice consumed Rakshasa Sect's hundred thousand most devout believers, and Rakshasa Ghost King abandoned Heavenly Delusion City and its remaining people to Bi Chao.
• The sacrifice opened a link between Blood Prison Ghost Manor and the true world, unleashing a devastating tsunami across the Eastern Sea.
• The resulting bloodline entered Great Black Heavenly Buddha Mother Bodhisattva's system, pushing her control to the brink while the Boundless Void Divine Lord's black tide retreated.
• Great Black Heavenly Buddha Mother Bodhisattva called for Bai Lian, realized she had been betrayed, and lost control of the divine wheel forming on Miaoxiang's abdomen.

Great Black Heavenly Buddha Mother Bodhisattva realized Madame Yellow Springs had turned the chaotic systems into the foundation for a new world, while the Rakshasa Ghost King explained why he had chosen to cooperate with her. After escaping the witch fetus through a prepared passage, Great Black Heavenly Buddha Mother Bodhisattva vowed to destroy Madame Yellow Springs.

• Great Black Heavenly Buddha Mother Bodhisattva saw that a lotus-seed core remained untouched by the chaos and was steadily absorbing fragments of laws into an ordered structure.
• Great Black Heavenly Buddha Mother Bodhisattva recognized the core as Madame Yellow Springs, who was using the fragments to fill out the foundation of a new world.
• The Rakshasa Ghost King told Great Black Heavenly Buddha Mother Bodhisattva that he had chosen Madame Yellow Springs because her established foundation made the outcome secure, while Black Heaven had missed her chances.
• Great Black Heavenly Buddha Mother Bodhisattva used the Ten Directions Ci Guang Buddha demon spirit to break free from the witch fetus and flee through a passageway around the Boundless Void Divine Lord's black tide.
• Great Black Heavenly Buddha Mother Bodhisattva's will erupted across the Realm of Truth and declared that she and Madame Yellow Springs could not coexist.

Great Black Heavenly Buddha Mother Bodhisattva rebuilt her body in the Jade Firmament Celestial Palace and considered her defeat and the identity of the current Boundless Void Divine Lord. At Xi Yu Lake, Baiyi revealed that she intended to take Crimson Yin away, prompting Shadow Ghost and the others to prepare for a confrontation.

• Great Black Heavenly Buddha Mother Bodhisattva returned to the Jade Firmament Celestial Palace, where the Ten Directions Demon Spirit received her as she restored her body.
• Great Black Heavenly Buddha Mother Bodhisattva reflected that the Boundless Void Divine Lord had likely been replaced and learned that Fah Hui had reached the Northern Wastes and might come to her aid.
• Great Black Heavenly Buddha Mother Bodhisattva recognized the courtyard where Madame Yellow Springs had performed the soul-rending incarnation and considered using her name to complicate matters for her enemies.
• At Xi Yu Lake, Xiao Jiu questioned Baiyi about Great Black Heavenly Buddha Mother Bodhisattva’s defeat and the conflict involving the Rakshasa Ghost King.
• Shadow Ghost prepared Xiao Wu and Xuanhuang to defend Xiao Jiu and the others, but Baiyi said she would only take Crimson Yin away and linked arms with her.

Zhao Xiangshan and the shadow ghost planned how to keep Baiyi from taking Crimson Yin while protecting Yu Ci, as the conflict across the True Realm continued to escalate. A strange star appeared in the Inner Void and the Realm of Truth, prompting Buddhist practitioners to sense its significance, and a monk in the Northern Wilderness announced that an old friend had arrived.

• Zhao Xiangshan warned Xiao Jiu that Crimson Yin’s connection to Yu Ci could make intimacy dangerous, and the shadow ghost suspected Baiyi was a clone of the Rakshasa Ghost King.

• A mysterious star crossed the Inner Void and briefly appeared in the Realm of Truth before vanishing.
• Sheng Hui sensed the star’s unusual nature, while a monk in the Northern Wilderness welcomed an old friend and asked Uncle Shifang not to refuse a meeting.

Yu Ci examined the Ten Directions Ci Guang Buddha’s vow and concluded that its restriction was a hidden “heart lock” embedded in spiritual dimness. He planned to make the lock perceptible, while investigating how the Heart Refining Dharma Fire and Equality Bead related to it.

• Yu Ci reviewed the vow’s three requirements and recognized that the Six Paths manifestation had already largely occurred, leaving the Sand of the Ganges refurnacing as the hardest task.
• Yu Ci reconsidered Xin Yi’s theory and concluded that the vow’s hidden restriction ultimately acted upon spiritual dimness, making it a heart lock rather than a simple external restraint.
• Yu Ci decided to use the inner void, and potentially the True Script Dao Rhyme, to express the heart lock through principle and give it a perceivable external form.
• Yu Ci analyzed how the Equality Bead could replace the spiritual dimness of refined dharma artifacts and linked its power to the shattered Pratyekabuddha Dharma Realm.
• Yu Ci concluded that the Heart Refining Dharma Fire had transformed the Pratyekabuddha Dharma Realm and was more closely connected to him than the Equality Bead.

Yu Ci investigated the Heart Refining Dharma Fire and traced its obscured workings to the Buddha Bone Furnace before carrying the furnace to the Gouchen Emperor’s Command for examination. Meanwhile, news spread through the Western Buddhist realm after a young monk’s remains vanished, leaving the chapter with the Pure Land’s assembly chanting in response.

• Yu Ci tested the Heart Refining Dharma Fire on Ancestor Yang’s sleeve and arm, discovering that it revealed the Dao body’s structure but not the hidden workings of the Pratyekabuddha Dharma Realm Shard.
• Yu Ci concluded that the Buddha Bone Furnace and its stored karmic force were connected to the obscured information, then carried the furnace toward the Gouchen Emperor’s Command.
• Yu Ci entered the star palace, addressed the Emperor, and let the Gouchen position’s chill restrain the Buddha Bone Furnace while he waited.
• In a western border city, residents found a young monk dead in meditation, and his remains became transparent before the Protectorate Temple took them away.
• A streak of pure light rose from the Protectorate Temple as its monks chanted, transmitting a message throughout the Buddhist realm.
• At the Utterly Western Lapis Lazuli Pure Land, a million monks and holy figures chanted together, shaking the Western world.

The Xiyu Alliance convened to debate the Taixiao Divine Court and Lord You Can’s ties to the Rakshasa Ghost King’s lineage. The meeting split into opposing camps, and Heavenly Monarch Jingde sought support for a proposal to let Heavenly Monarch Yuanxu answer the accusations, but no one stepped forward.

• The twenty-seven sect leaders’ projections gathered on the islet in Xi Yu Lake, with You Can and the Azure Wave Water Mansion Master drawing attention as opposing forces.
• Yang Zhu and You Can traded threats before Heavenly Monarch Jingde opened the meeting and announced the agenda concerning Heavenly Monarch Yuanxu and Lord You Can.
• The Azure Wave Water Mansion Master expanded his accusation to claim Heavenly Monarch Yuanxu had colluded with demonic sects, and Yang Zhu and Ji Zhou called for Yuanxu to be invited to answer.
• The Azure Wave Water Mansion Master argued that their proposal lacked the support required by alliance rules, while Di Bai remained silent and signaled Xiangshan Sect’s break with Yang Zhu and Ji Zhou’s faction.
• Heavenly Monarch Jingde cited the absence and disqualification of several sects, then invited the remaining leaders to support the temporary proposal, but no one moved to relieve his predicament.

The Xiyu Alliance’s leaders debated Heavenly Monarch Yuanxu and the alliance’s response to mounting threats, but Madam Xia’s accusation against You Can and Liu Taiheng’s proposal redirected the meeting. Liu Taiheng urged the sects to reorganize their territories around the Taixiao Divine Court, while Madam Xia challenged his motives and past decisions.

• Wang Taiheng and the Hundred Refinements Gate, Chongbai Palace, and Chunyang Sect backed Yang Zhu’s motion, allowing Heavenly Monarch Jingde to summon Heavenly Monarch Yuanxu to present his defense.
• Madam Xia entered the meeting and accused You Can of selling the Ancestral Witch to the Rakshasa Ghost King, prompting You Can to challenge her right to speak.
• Liu Taiheng criticized the alliance’s internal disputes and proposed naming the Shangqing Sect and Azure Wave Water Mansion heaven-tier sects while reorganizing the alliance around the Taixiao Divine Court.
• Madam Xia questioned why the Azure Wave Water Mansion faced little fighting in the south and accused Liu Taiheng of having previously relocated Feiyu Fortress to the Five Chain Lake.

Madam Xia challenged Liu Taiheng over the Xiyu Alliance’s plans for the Four Directions Eight Heavens, but the debate was interrupted by upheavals across the True Realm and the Buddhist Kingdom’s Zen Chant. She revealed that the Shaman Sect was linking its forces to help the Ancestral Shaman withstand the Rakshasa Ghost King’s assault, then pressed the Azure Wave Water Mansion Master to join the effort.

• Madam Xia questioned Liu Taiheng about Eight Sceneries Palace’s intentions for the Four Directions Eight Heavens, and Liu Taiheng argued that Heavenly Monarch Yuanxu might not yield Taixiao Divine Court’s core lands.
• The Buddhist Kingdom’s Zen Chant appeared across the True Realm, and further tremors struck the sect leaders’ true bodies.
• Madam Xia shifted the debate to the Rakshasa Ghost King and the Boundless Void Divine Lord attacking Heavenly Monarch Yuanxu, but another tremor revealed that the Three Origins Secret Array beneath Xi Yu Lake was affected.
• Madam Xia disclosed that Murong Qingyan and You Rui were connecting the Water World to Flying Soul City through the Shaman Sect, and she said she had ordered the sect’s branches to unite against the calamity.
• Xu Yang offered the Xu family’s help, while Ji Zhou and Yang Zhu pledged support from Haoran Sect and Siming Sect.
• Madam Xia urged the Azure Wave Water Mansion Master to help the Shaman Sect and suggested Heavenly Monarch Yuanxu could reward him with a position guarding the Southern Heavens.

Madam Xia used the Treasure Mirror to expose the Azure Wave Water Mansion Master's suspicious ties to Devil Sect methods and his dealings with Liu Taiheng. Liu Taiheng revealed that the Mansion Master was already one of his Dao, froze him from within, and left the alliance leaders in uproar.

• The Azure Wave Water Mansion Master warned the alliance leaders that Yu Ci's call for help might conceal a trap, but Madam Xia used a Water Mirror projection to show his face marked with apparent Devil Sect patterns.
• Madam Xia admitted the projection was a trick to locate the Mansion Master, then challenged him to consider how his temperament had changed and who had influenced him.
• Madam Xia said the Mansion Master had acquired the Twenty Diagrams of Sealing Seas and Connecting Truths and accused Liu Taiheng of helping him obtain the missing diagrams.
• Liu Taiheng admitted using Wuji Pavilion's channels to acquire the diagrams and suggested Zhao Xiangshan had survived and served Yu Ci.
• Liu Taiheng warned Heavenly Monarch Jingde about a heart devil, declared that the Azure Wave Water Mansion Master was already one of his Dao, and froze the Mansion Master from within.

Liu Taiheng revealed himself as Extreme Ancestor and used the Frozen Silence Demon Kingdom to seize control of the Azure Wave Water Mansion Master, shattering the Xiyu Alliance council meeting. As Heavenly Venerate Boyang and the Rakshasa Ghost King intervened, Baiyi explained Extreme Ancestor’s connection to Liu Taiheng, and a voice addressed Jiu'er over the lake.

• Liu Taiheng froze the council hall, abducted the Azure Wave Water Mansion Master, and was recognized as Extreme Ancestor wielding the Frozen Silence Demon Kingdom.
• Ji Zhou resisted Liu Taiheng’s demonic influence with righteous qi, but the Azure Wave Water Mansion Master’s scream and the lake’s surging waters destroyed the council hall’s communication array.
• Liu Taiheng used Soul Lock Secret Arts to search for Zhao Xiangshan through Madam Xia, but a sudden sword strike destroyed the remaining array restrictions and severed their connection.
• The Rakshasa Ghost King and Heavenly Venerate Boyang arrived, and Boyang attacked through the Azure Wave Water Mansion Master while urging the Xiyu Alliance to activate the Three Origins Secret Array.
• Baiyi explained to Xiao Jiu, Xiao Wu, and the others how Liu Taiheng had influenced Jihan’s rise and described Extreme Ancestor’s cultivation path.
• A voice over the lake asked Jiu'er why she had not thanked the Rakshasa Divine Lord for her instruction.

Spirit Warding Ancestor reunited with Xiao Jiu and explained that he planned to seek a final battle in the northern lands, while Baiyi urged him to look beyond his imminent death. Baiyi offered Xiao Jiu a place at her side and a chance to explore countless worlds, as Liu Taiheng listened in to learn more about the Rakshasa Ghost King's plans.

• Xiao Jiu recognized the scarred black-robed cultivator as her master, Spirit Warding Ancestor, who had come to see her before leaving for the north.
• Spirit Warding Ancestor handed Xiao Jiu the lake-bottom beasts he had trained and asked Baiyi whether her alliance with Boundless would affect his planned fight against the three demon lords.
• Baiyi said Spirit Warding Ancestor had little chance of surviving and suggested that he seek new worlds and wondrous beasts rather than die over an old defeat.
• Xiao Jiu urged her master to let Brother Fishbone restore his Dao foundation, but Baiyi explained that recovery would remain uncertain even with Yuanxu's power.
• Baiyi invited Xiao Jiu to join her sect and travel among distant worlds, then called out Liu Taiheng for eavesdropping as he asked what future she was promising Xiao Jiu.

Extreme Zero froze Xi Yu Lake and crippled the Three Origins Secret Array while bargaining with Baiyi for the Taixiao Divine Court and Xiyu Alliance territory. Baiyi revealed her plan to set the Witch Ancestor’s anchored world in motion by making the true realm collide with the Filthy Spirit Turbid Sea, while the Great Black Heavenly Buddha Mother Bodhisattva and Master Fah Hui prepared to establish reincarnation in the fractured realm.

• Extreme Zero revealed his true form and activated the Frozen Silence Demon Kingdom, freezing Xi Yu Lake and destabilizing the Three Origins Secret Array.
• Extreme Zero asked Baiyi to give him the Taixiao Divine Court and Xiyu Alliance territory, and Baiyi revealed her plan to launch the world into the endless starry ocean.
• The Turbid Sea King Beast Wu An brought the Filthy Spirit Turbid Sea across realms, causing the true realm to collide with the Blood Prison Ghost Manor and crack apart.
• Spirit Warding Ancestor explained to Xiao Jiu that the collision was enabled by damage to the true realm’s fragile regions and the Great Black Heavenly Buddha Mother Bodhisattva’s actions.
• The Great Black Heavenly Buddha Mother Bodhisattva, Master Fah Hui, and the Shifang Demon Spirit confirmed their agreement to establish reincarnation in the fractured true realm, with the Six Paths Samsara ultimately belonging to the Buddhist Kingdom.

Great Black Heavenly Buddha Mother Bodhisattva and the Shifang Demon Spirit swore an oath with Fah Hui to give up the Six Paths Samsara in exchange for reincarnation, but Madame Yellow Springs hijacked the Tai Xuan Demon Mother and restarted the Seven Sacrifices and Five Pillars. Fah Hui then took the Six Paths wheel into himself and invoked its power to aid Great Black Heavenly Buddha Mother Bodhisattva’s rebirth, as the void split open.

• Great Black Heavenly Buddha Mother Bodhisattva and the Shifang Demon Spirit sealed their agreement with Fah Hui and the six ancient Buddhas, pledging to return the Six Paths Samsara and transmit the Dharma to the true realm.
• Fah Hui told them that Sheng Hui was gathering the scattered Pratyekabuddha Dharma Realm, and he described a reincarnated monk whose Talisman Puppet had revealed information about Six Paths Samsara.
• Great Black Heavenly Buddha Mother Bodhisattva and the Shifang Demon Spirit sensed a disturbance and found Madame Yellow Springs had infiltrated the ice pearl holding the Tai Xuan Demon Mother.
• The Tai Xuan Demon Mother awakened and turned the Seven Sacrifices and Five Pillars from a controlled process into a rapidly accelerating calamity, ensnaring Great Black Heavenly Buddha Mother Bodhisattva, the Shifang Demon Spirit, and the Candle Dragon King.
• Fah Hui took the Six Paths wheel into his brow, accepted the curse oath’s punishment, and used its power to aid Great Black Heavenly Buddha Mother Bodhisattva’s rebirth as the Six Paths opened a fissure in the void.

Mahakala and the Shifang Demon Spirit were drawn into the Seven Sacrifices and Five Pillars system as the Western Buddhist Kingdom established the Six Paths Samsara, while the Buddhas seized control of key paths from the Great Brahma Demon King. The chapter ended with Fah Hui completing the samsara’s integration into the Jade Firmament Celestial Palace and the Rakshasa Ghost King explaining how the True Realm would serve as the central hub of the wider system.

• Fah Hui used the Six Buddhas’ power to force Mahakala into reincarnation, and she reappeared as a deity seated within the Seven Sacrifices and Five Pillars system.
• The Shifang Demon Spirit was drawn toward the system as its remaining pillar, while the Northern Wasteland’s law-system turbulence caused riots and accelerated the fusion of the Wutian Jiao Prison with the True Realm.
• A Buddhist monk entered the Ten Directions Great Venerable’s Hungry Ghost Path, subdued him, and renamed him Venerable Shifang as the Great Brahma Demon King failed to intervene.
• The Great Brahma Demon King withdrew to the Wutian Jiao Prison and ordered his forces toward the Sky Rift Valley after losing control of the Hungry Ghost Path and the Hell Path’s foundation.
• Fah Hui installed the Six Paths Samsara in the Jade Firmament Celestial Palace, then accepted the hellish consequences of his sacrifice as the system took root.
• The Rakshasa Ghost King explained to Extreme Ancestor that the True Realm would be the main body and hub of the wider system, with the Seven Sacrifices and Five Pillars serving as its control center.

The Rakshasa Ghost King explained her plan to replace the Witch God's restraints with a mutable system of laws and divine authorities, drawing Extreme Ancestor into cooperation. As Sky Rift began splitting the Western Buddhist Kingdom from the Eastern cultivation world, Li Chen Sect leaders prepared defenses and evacuations against the advancing Filthy Spirit Turbid Sea.

• Baiyi explained to Extreme Ancestor how the Five Pillar Deities could support new laws, gather Faith Power, and help create an expanding world system.
• Extreme Ancestor agreed to help deal with Yu Qing Xuan, while asking the Rakshasa Ghost King to handle the trouble at the lake; she said events at Sky Rift demanded her attention.
• The Sky Rift connected to Blood Prison Ghost Manor, and changes to the laws and terrain accelerated the division between the Western Buddhist Kingdom and the Eastern cultivation world.
• Cheng Hui, Jiang Zhen, and Xing Yuhe assessed the Li Chen Sect's defenses and discussed evacuations, casualties, and the dangers spreading from Sky Rift and Sunset Valley.
• Fang Hui and Xie Liang held a defensive line east of Sky Rift as the Filthy Spirit Turbid Sea advanced, and Yu Nan arrived shaking his head.

Fang Hui, Heavenly Venerable Qiao, and Xie Liang tried to contain Wu An’s Filthy Spirit Turbid Sea while protecting the Li Chen Sect’s front line. Xie Liang’s heart-image art helped coordinate new blessings, but as the battle worsened, another disciple’s talismanic power began to manifest.

• Yu Nan explained how Ancestor Gu Liang had detected Wu An’s movements and sent the Demon Manor Spirit Banner to help guide it around Sky Rift Gorge.
• Fang Hui and Heavenly Venerable Qiao discussed funneling the Filthy Spirit Turbid Sea and blessing the exhausted Li Chen Sect disciples, while Xie Liang used his heart-image art to harmonize their powers.
• A surprise attack by floating corpses pushed the battle line forward, and Hua Xifeng and Wang Jiu rescued a disciple before Wu An’s rising waves stripped away the blessings.
• New blessings protected Hua Xifeng and the others: the Heavenly River Auspicious Prayer Curse drove off turbid qi, and the True Body As-You-Wish Three Treasures Curse strengthened them.
• A distant giant wave filled the battlefield with filthy fog and began eroding their protection, but a Dichen disciple formed a profound talisman from the chaotic primordial qi, and a human figure started to take shape.

Baoguang used the Celestial Master Dharma Aspect to coordinate and enhance the Li Chen Sect disciples as they contained the Filthy Spirit Turbid Sea, but Wu An’s strange movements and the appearance of Shadow Demon Lord Liu Guan turned the situation volatile. Liu Guan revealed he was trying to locate a woman, then addressed the Celestial Master as Void Heaven Monarch and demanded to hear about her.

• Baoguang linked the Li Chen Sect disciples through the Celestial Master, helping them channel the Filthy Spirit Turbid Sea through mountain valleys and granting them further protections.
• Fang Hui and Heavenly Venerable Qiao noticed Wu An’s vital energy weakening and its movements shifting east, and they suspected an outside force was guiding it.
• Wu An surged toward the eastern bank, while Baoguang’s Celestial Master formed a mirror that illuminated the demon and revealed a vague shadow on its body.
• Xie Liang identified the shadow as Shadow Void, and Liu Guan emerged atop Wu An as its attacks passed through his shadowy form.
• Liu Guan told Fang Hui to stay quiet because he was trying to find a woman, then called out to the Celestial Master as Void Heaven Monarch and asked about her.

Liu Guan revealed a Blood Essence Source Wood growing symbiotically inside Wu An, prompting Heavenly Venerable Qiao and Fang Hui to fight them and warn the Li Chen disciples to retreat. As the disciples fled, a newly arrived Calamity Law Grandmaster attacked them, and Yu Nan called on Heavenly Monarch Yuanxu for help.

• Liu Guan used the Mystical Gate system to explain how Yu Ci could preserve his position, while Heavenly Venerable Qiao launched the Overturning Earth Seal at him.
• Liu Guan linked himself to Wu An through a crimson Blood Essence Source Wood, causing the seal's impact to strike all three together.
• Heavenly Venerable Qiao recognized that the Blood Essence Source Wood was cultivating an embryonic Outer Path Demon Kingdom inside Wu An, and he and Fang Hui agreed to battle Liu Guan while Yu Nan and Xie Liang evacuated the disciples.
• Ancestor Gu Liang lent Fang Hui the Demon Manor Spirit Banner projection, and Fang Hui empowered Wu An as Heavenly Venerable Qiao and Liu Guan clashed.
• Yu Nan and Xie Liang detected a newcomer whose lava domain swept toward the retreating disciples, while Hong Qianqiu and the Celestial Master's Treasure Mirror helped shield the group.
• Yu Nan and Xie Liang confronted the newcomer, who challenged Heavenly Monarch Yuanxu, and Yu Nan called out to Heavenly Monarch Yuanxu.
