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.

• 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 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.

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.

• 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.

• 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.

Yu Nan and Xie Liang helped Yu Ci assemble the Five Vessels and Four Gods, empowering the Li Chen disciples and giving Yu Ci a foothold within Black Robe’s magma domain. Yu Ci manifested through the Celestial Master Dharma form and confronted Black Robe, but the chapter ended as Black Robe’s killing intent surged beside him.

• Black Robe expanded his magma domain and tried to use it to unsettle Yu Ci by threatening the Li Chen disciples.
• Yu Nan and Xie Liang connected their vital energy to Yu Ci’s empowerment, completing the Five Vessels and Four Gods and forming a powerful law structure.
• The Celestial Master, Spirit Official, Divine General, and Thunder Lord empowered the Li Chen disciples, helping Hong Qianqiu overcome a bottleneck and Li You wound a demon king-level corpse.
• The four deities merged into the Celestial Master, whose law structure opened a patch of heaven and earth within Black Robe’s domain.
• Yu Ci took form through the Celestial Master Dharma form, recognized the changed battlefield, and greeted Yu Nan and Xie Liang before Black Robe’s killing intent rose beside him.

Yu Ci used the Zhaoshen Bronze Mirror to reveal that Canluona had been hidden inside Black Robe, while the Great Brahma Demon King arrived to empower him. Canluona seized Black Robe’s body and struck at the Cloud Tower Tree, then declared that it would personally host Yu Ci’s coming tribulation, leaving Yu Ci facing a double threat.

• Yu Ci turned to confront Black Robe, who opened a lava domain and attacked the Shangqing system with the Wutian Jiao Prison’s power.
• The Great Brahma Demon King projected the Demon Lord Wuming dharma avatar into the battlefield, while Xie Liang and Yu Nan led the Lichen disciples away.
• Yu Ci shone the Zhaoshen Bronze Mirror on Black Robe and revealed Canluona embedded in his true heart and Primordial Spirit.
• Liu Guan explained that he had placed Canluona inside Black Robe and used him as a coordinate for the Great Brahma Demon King.
• Canluona erased Black Robe’s remaining will, agreed to let the Great Brahma Demon King take his body, and struck the Cloud Tower Tree above Xi Yu Lake.
• Canluona declared that it would personally host Yu Ci’s coming tribulation, and Yu Ci watched the blood curse between them as the battlefield returned to its fiery state.

Yu Ci assessed Canluona’s growing threat while Liu Guan used the fire plague to battle Heavenly Venerable Qiao and Fang Hui. As the Great Brahma Demon King took control of the Black Robe and targeted Yu Ci’s Shangqing system, Yu Ci’s Dharma form closed its eyes and became blank.

• Yu Ci realized Canluona’s strike had come closer, though the Cloud Tower Tree still protected the Taixiao Divine Court.
• The fire plague emerged from Wu An and gathered in Liu Guan’s boundary, helping Liu Guan fight Heavenly Venerable Qiao and Fang Hui.
• Yu Ci concluded that Liu Guan’s Shadow Void and the Blood Essence Source Wood were forming the foundation of Canluona’s Outer Path Demon Kingdom.
• The Great Brahma Demon King reappeared through the Black Robe, absorbed the Demon Lord Wuming’s power, and strengthened the molten lava boundary.
• The Great Brahma Demon King recognized Yu Ci’s Ziwei Emperor’s Command and directed his killing intent at the foundation of Yu Ci’s Shangqing system.
• Yu Ci’s Dharma form closed its eyes and transformed into a completely blank outline.

Yu Ci’s faceless Dharma Form broke through the Great Brahma Demon King’s lava domain by manifesting a starry scroll, killing intent, and an army of armored soldiers. Yu Ci regained control, called Huan Rong into the fray, and dissolved and reshaped the Dharma Form above Sky Rift Valley using the Shangqing system.

• The Great Brahma Demon King sealed the area in a lava domain and sent nearly a hundred demons to destroy Yu Ci’s faceless Dharma Form.
• The Dharma Form unfolded a starry scroll, summoned killing intent and armored soldiers, and cut open the Great Brahma Demon King’s domain.
• The Great Brahma Demon King realized the Dharma Form’s power came from a law structure beyond Yu Ci’s personal cultivation.
• Yu Ci regained control of the Dharma Form and called out to Huan Rong as an unpredictable torrent of emotions disrupted the lava domain.
• Yu Ci dissolved the Dharma Form and reshaped it above Sky Rift Valley through the Shangqing system.

Yu Ci joined forces with Xingtian and Xuan Huang to unleash a twelve-turn sword strike that broke Liu Guan’s Shadow Demon Blade and wounded Wu An. As the fighters paused, the sun plunged toward the horizon and Canluona appeared within it as a dancing, seventeen-legged spider demon.

• Yu Ci contacted Xingtian and passed along Xuan Huang’s cultivation insights, prompting Xingtian to agree to act with him.
• The Great Brahma Demon King redirected Wutian Jiao Prison into the Eight Sufferings Yin Prison, while the resulting upheaval disrupted the Filthy Spirit Turbid Sea and slowed the fire plagues.
• Yu Ci and Xingtian synchronized their sword intents, and Xuan Huang joined through the Shangqing system to strengthen their attack.
• The Xingtian Magic Sword struck Liu Guan’s Shadow Demon Blade, splitting it and injuring Liu Guan, then pierced Wu An near the root of the Blood Essence Source Wood.
• Heavenly Venerable Qiao, Fang Hui, and the others stopped to watch as the crimson sun dropped rapidly and Canluona’s spider-shaped demonic shadow danced within it.

Canluona’s falling Great Sun threatened to destroy Wutian Jiao Prison, while the Blood Essence Source Wood joined with Wu An and Liu Guan to absorb its fire and support it. The Great Brahma Demon King sacrificed his nearly completed Demon Kingdom to divert the Sun down the Sky Rift Valley, and the Rakshasa Ghost King denied that the catastrophe had been part of his calculations.

• Wu An’s chaotic power erupted as the Filthy Spirit Turbid Sea boiled away, but the Blood Essence Source Wood took control of their symbiosis and spread branches into the void.
• The Blood Essence Source Wood reached for the falling Great Sun, and Canluona poured fire into it, fusing its wounds and healing Liu Guan before ending their cooperation.
• The Great Sun plunged toward the Sky Rift Valley, and the Great Brahma Demon King shattered his nearly completed Demon Kingdom to rush down and protect Wutian Jiao Prison.
• The Great Sun grazed the eastern bank and rolled into the Sky Rift Valley, collapsing cliffs and turning the sky over the True Realm into a blazing sunset.
• On Xi Yu Lake, the Extreme Ancestor asked whether the Rakshasa Ghost King had planned the catastrophe, and the Rakshasa Ghost King denied it.

Canluona struck down the sun, triggering the collapse of the witchcraft gods’ law system and setting the True Realm adrift in the starry sky. As Extreme Ancestor realized preparations might exist to preserve the realm, Di Chen’s disciples faced the dangers of a darkened, law-disordered world.

• The Rakshasa Ghost King explained that the sun, moon, and five planets were fulcrums of the witchcraft gods’ law system and would no longer remain in place.
• The sun vanished below the horizon, and Extreme Ancestor sensed the True Realm begin moving under the pull of the starry sky.
• Extreme Ancestor worried that the True Realm could break apart and that cultivators might suffer cultivation failures, then suspected the Seven Sacrifices and Five Pillars had been prepared for this crisis.
• Xie Liang and Yu Nan’s group realized the sun had fallen as they watched the darkened sky and the weakened Filthy Spirit Turbid Sea surge past them.
• Yang Yin True Man arrived injured but stable, and the Di Chen disciples worried about how their younger members would survive the upheaval.

Yang Yin and the Dust-Monastery disciples discovered that orthodox empowerment helped them withstand the chaotic laws, while Yu Nan feared the sorcery sect would be devastated. At the bottom of Xi Yu Lake, You Can exploited the upheaval to sever his bond with the sorcery god, but a huge shadow approached as he worked.

• Yang Yin learned that the Dust-Monastery disciples had been strengthened by empowerment and set out with Baoguang to reinforce the downstream defenses.
• A bell from the Eight Sceneries Palace rang out, its runes and spiritual power further improving the cultivators’ condition.
• Yu Nan warned Xie Liang that the changing laws threatened the sorcery sect, whose cultivation system depended on the sorcery god.
• You Can revealed that he had gathered several bloodlines and planned to free himself from the sorcery god rather than pursue a sorcery fetus or god.
• You Can used the weakening bloodline bond to separate his spiritual clarity from his body and refine his flesh into a sorcery poison puppet.
• A huge shadow drifted toward You Can at the bottom of the lake, and he suspected it was the Candle Dragon King.

You Can and Zhu Yang encountered the Creation Sword Immortal as the Candle Dragon King returned to its role in the Rakshasa Ghost King's system. The Creation Sword Immortal revealed the lake-bottom Divine Palace and drove his sword into the Candle Dragon King's forehead.

• You Can and Zhu Yang met near the Candle Dragon King and agreed to seek a way out together.
• The Creation Sword Immortal descended into the lake and attacked the Candle Dragon King, prompting its demons to form ranks and charge him.
• The Creation Sword Immortal's sword light revealed the hidden Divine Palace and exposed You Can and Zhu Yang.
• You Can and Zhu Yang recognized the Creation Sword Immortal and revealed themselves, while he ignored them and approached the Candle Dragon King.
• The Creation Sword Immortal threw his sword through the Candle Dragon King's defenses and sank it to the hilt in its forehead.

The Creation Sword Immortal overwhelmed the Candle Dragon King and suppressed the Yin Yang Method that governed its role in the Seven Sacrifices and Five Pillars. As the Rakshasa Ghost King arrived, the Creation Sword Immortal began transforming the Candle Dragon King, challenging whether the system could absorb the change.

• The Creation Sword Immortal drove his sword into the Candle Dragon King's head and crushed its hilt beneath his foot, causing the king to convulse and its followers to flee.
• The Creation Sword Immortal confronted You Can and Zhu Yang, whose fear and humiliation revealed that he had deliberately pressured them; Zhu Yang tried to escape.
• You Can invoked the Rakshasa Ghost King, but received no response, while the Creation Sword Immortal criticized the shamanic path and explained that he had long dealt with dissidents.
• You Can realized the Creation Sword Immortal had already suppressed and alienated the laws of the Candle Dragon King's Yin Yang Method, then watched him stop Zhu Yang's escape by turning part of the lake into crystal.
• The Rakshasa Ghost King arrived and said the Creation Sword Immortal's Spirit Transformation Method was not yet strong enough to replace the Yin Yang Method; the Creation Sword Immortal began transforming the Candle Dragon King's body and nature.
