• Madame Yellow Springs began undergoing a subtle transformation inside the Equality Bead’s simulated Pratyekabuddha Dharma Realm.

Yu Ci used the Equality Bead and Tai Xuan Demon Mother to sweep Madame Yellow Springs’s infiltrated incarnations from the Seven Sacrifices and Five Pillars system, imprisoning her core at the cost of risking the Pratyekabuddha Dharma Realm. He then cut off outside contact to create a Talisman Disk, which successfully materialized a Thousand Poison Dragon and a Profound Yin Blood Shadow.

The chapter left Zhan Shuicheng waiting for Yu Ci to cooperate as he worked to develop a way to strike back against the powerful enemies.

As Yu Ci struggled to distinguish his own will from the countless minds tied to the Xuanmen system, he realized he had to find a way to shoulder the crisis without letting the realm’s vast disparities drag everyone down, and thought of the Creation Sword Immortal.

• Yu Ci asked himself what he should do and thought of the Creation Sword Immortal.

Yu Ci used the Mystical Gate system to protect the common people and confronted Canluona in the central heavens. He drew Canluona into a Self-Created World and used Celestial Combat to expose a flaw in its Primordial Power, leaving the battle at a dangerous turning point.

Yu Ci and his allies tried to exploit Saint Xiao’s battle with Qu Wuliang to strike at the Boundless Void Divine Lord, but Ghost Bell Seed and other powers disrupted their plan by taking positions in the Nine Palaces Demon Domain. Saint Xiao held on to Qu Wuliang as the Creation Sword Immortal confronted Ghost Bell Seed, leaving the struggle over the domain unresolved.

• Eight Sceneries Palace empowered Saint Xiao with One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones, but Saint Xiao willingly returned to the shadow and continued fighting the Boundless Void Divine Lord as Dao Integration advanced.

• The Creation Sword Immortal confronted Ghost Bell Seed over his actions, then laughed and flew from Xi Yu Lake with his bone sword.

The Creation Sword Immortal joined the battle against Qu Wuliang as the Nine Palaces Demon Domain overwhelmed the battlefield, while Yu Ci struggled to contain Canluona inside the Inner Void. After Canluona wounded him, Yu Ci used his avatar’s accumulated analysis to strengthen his body and sent a rain of specialized sword radiances against the demon; Canluona then sensed another powerful force gathering around it.

• Ye Banshan’s laughter stirred the sword cultivators, and Li Bocai ordered them to prepare for battle.
• The Creation Sword Immortal opened a passage to the Central Heaven battlefield, struck Qu Wuliang into the abyss, and forced the battle to resume.
• Qu Wuliang restored his role in operating the Nine Palaces Demon Domain, strengthening its suppression as Yu Ci faced Canluona inside the Inner Void.

• Yu Ci summoned a barrage of targeted sword radiances that disrupted Canluona’s energy flow and prolonged the exposure of its flaws.
• Canluona shrank its body and charged up the ring-shaped peak, then sensed that a powerful force was gathering beyond its own.

Yu Ci used Lu Suhua’s preserved Fist Intent to unleash the Primal Thunder Hammer against Canluona, badly injuring it and forcing it out of its solitary-duel form. Canluona swore to kill Yu Ci as the demon domains’ power gathered, while Yu Ci assessed the borrowed power he had used.

• Canluona sensed Yu Ci rapidly gathering power and tried to strike through his defenses, but the Houtu Emperor’s Command reinforced the Taixiao Divine Court.

• Canluona’s body expanded and drew in power from the demon domains, then it bound Yu Ci with a blood pact and vowed to kill him.
• Yu Ci withdrew to the high cliff and reflected on how he had preserved Lu Suhua’s primordial power and adapted the Creation Sword Immortal’s method to use it.

Yu Ci endured the Three Yuan Hammers’ crushing strain, then used his bright-moon observation to coordinate the Xuanmen forces as Canluona joined the Nine Palaces Demon Domain. With Hao Dian, Tai Xuan Demon Mother, and Yu Qing Xuan exploiting the resulting chaos, the chapter ended with Rakshasa Ghost King sensing that her Primordial Power had been used against her while Ye Bin still blocked her escape.

• Yu Ci summoned Lu Suhua’s Primordial Power and repeatedly reshaped his form and spirit to withstand the Three Yuan Hammers’ fist intent.
• Canluona retreated into the Nine Palaces Demon Domain and moved to assume the Grand Emperor Palace’s seat, strengthening the Heavenly Demon system and suppressing its opponents.

• Hao Dian vanished using her supreme True Illusion Divine Ability and appeared beside Ye Bin against Rakshasa Ghost King, who sensed that her Primordial Power had been used against her.

Yu Ci and his allies disrupted the Nine Palaces Demon Domain by wounding the Great Brahma Demon King and helping Madam Huanyong seize the Cave Dwelling Palace’s position, scattering the demonic forces. The victory left Qu Wuliang and the intact core of the Heavenly Demon System as the remaining central threat.

• Haodian used the method of truth and illusion to strike the Great Brahma Demon King with the God Slaying Thorn, then seized and cast away his Primordial Power.
• Zhan Shuicheng and Madam Huanyong intercepted the Primordial Power, and Madam Huanyong used it to take the vacant position in the Cave Dwelling Palace.

• Canluona, the Ghost Bell Seed, the Great Brahma Demon King, and Liu Guan were driven away or held in check as the opposing forces pressed their advantage.
• Yu Ci discovered that his body could sustain the Three Yuan Hammers without damage and forced Canluona to withdraw toward his Outer Dao System.
• Yu Ci recognized that Qu Wuliang and the core of the Nine Palaces Demon Domain remained, so the crisis was not over.

Shadow Ghost joined Qu Wuliang’s battle with the Creation Sword Immortal, linking his root nature to Qu Wuliang through the Yama Seal and the Boundless Position. After Yu Ci used the moonlight to reveal a path toward the Land of Eternal Damnation, he was nearly destroyed while saving Qu Wuliang from the Creation Sword Immortal, and a sword light entered his heart.

• Shadow Ghost asked Yu Ci to hold the moonlight steady, then used it to reach Qu Wuliang and attack him as his shadow.

• Yu Ci struck Qu Wuliang and showed him the moonlit path to the Land of Eternal Damnation, but the collision annihilated Yu Ci’s body and soul.
• As Yu Ci’s remaining spiritual light drifted through the void, a sword light entered his heart and cut through the abyss, the Heavenly Demon’s shackles, and his despair.

Qu Wujie's sword light settled the True World's upheaval, while Yu Ci and his allies brought Star Burial down and trapped Canluona's Primordial Power in the Dao Realm. The Rakshasa Ghost King remained cornered by Ye Bin as more powerful figures arrived, and the author then announced plans for follow-up stories about several characters.

• Heavenly Monarch Yuanxu crossed his heart-demon tribulation as the Creation Sword Immortal confronted the sword light with his fists and then departed across Gathering Immortals Bridge.
• Li Bocai drove the sword cultivators from Gathering Immortals Bridge, and ten hours later the Creation Sword Immortal took several leaders, disciples, and part of Linggang Mountain into the East Sea.

• The author announced plans to release follow-up stories about the Rakshasa Ghost King, the Creation Sword Immortal, and Canluona, and thanked readers for five years.
