Chen Yuanba arrived at the Purple Sun Dynasty and was trapped by a force led by nine Saint Emperor Realm cultivators and a Quasi-Emperor.

Chen Yuanba, Chen Qingshuang, and Chen Musen were each ambushed by enemies seeking revenge, with the Divine Dynasty Alliance gathering powerful experts and Quasi-Emperors to target the Chen Family's prodigies. Each remained defiant as the three confrontations began.

• As the Quasi-Emperor's attack neared, Chen Yuanba shouted, "Ancestor Blesses Me!"

Chen Yuanba summoned a projection of his ancestor, Chen Changqing, and used its blessing to fight back against a Quasi-Emperor Realm elder. After injuring the elder with two divine abilities, he left his enemies shaken and the battle unresolved.

• The Quasi-Emperor Realm elder's attack vanished before reaching Chen Yuanba when an enormous chaos-wreathed projection appeared behind him.
• Chen Yuanba revealed that Ancestor Blesses Me let him summon his ancestor's Dao resonance and gain divine abilities when his conviction was firm.

Chen Qingshuang used her countless swords to break Yin Pojun’s sealing domain and badly wound all nine Saint Emperor Realm experts despite their combined attacks. Li Xiaoyun finally entered the battle, praised her sword talent, and implied that her ties to the Chen Family made her an enemy.

• Yin Pojun used the Ten Thousand Laws Cage to try to sever Chen Qingshuang’s connection to her swords, but her Sword, Come ability shattered his domain and wounded him.
• Chen Qingshuang’s sword curtain broke the other eight Saint Emperor Realms’ domains and repelled their attacks, leaving all nine of them injured.

• Li Xiaoyun rose and told Chen Qingshuang he would have wanted to make her his disciple if she were not a member of the Chen Family, and Chen Qingshuang mocked his worthiness.

Chen Qingshuang used the pressure of Li Xiaoyun’s Annihilation Sword Domain to forge her scattered Sword Intents into an Origin Sword and defeat him with Body as Sword. After she was revived in the Chen Clan Ancestral Land, the system awarded her Slaughter Points, Experience Points, and multiple achievements for the kills.

• Chen Qingshuang used the Revenge function to lock onto Li Xiaoyun and prepared to strike him again with Body as Sword.
• Chen Changqing reflected on how Chen Qingshuang's killing power and Chen Yuanba's endurance differed, and judged that both had performed well against Quasi-Emperor Realm opponents.
• Chen Changqing turned his attention to Chen Musen, who evaded attacks from the sinister-looking young man and the other pursuers while sustaining apparent injuries.
• Chen Musen declared that he was done running and raised his hands to activate a formation.

Chen Musen used a vast formation and a buried contingency to trap nine Saint Emperors and their allies, but a Quasi-Emperor struck him down. As the attacker declared the mission complete, Chen Musen stirred in the blood and suggested that events had gone according to plan.

• Chen Musen revealed that he had secretly laid a vast killing formation while appearing to flee, then used Turning Stone to Gold to disable his enemies' artifacts and treasures.
• Chen Musen controlled the formation to attack the nine Saint Emperors, but its backlash drained him until three Saint Emperors broke through and struck him down.

• After the Quasi-Emperor turned away, Chen Musen stirred in the blood and said that everything had worked out just right.

• Chen Musen used Vengeful Pursuit to locate the Quasi-Emperor and prepared to go after him again.

Chen Yuanba, Chen Qingshuang, and Chen Musen turned back the Divine Dynasty Alliance’s ambushes, leaving one Quasi-Emperor opponent from each fight in trouble. As the Alliance’s main army surrounded the Purple Star Domain, its leaders began to fear they had underestimated the Chen Family.

• Chen Yuanba pursued the wounded Quasi-Emperor who had fled, using tracking and spatial abilities to keep him from escaping.
• Chen Qingshuang revived after sacrificing herself and attacked the sword-wielding Quasi-Emperor again, prompting him to beg the Alliance for help.

• The retired emperor of the Eclosion Divine Dynasty opened his eyes and asked whether the alliance could reinforce every place under attack.

The Eclosion Divine Dynasty's Supreme Emperor chose to attack the Chen Family's ancestral homeland in the Purple Star Domain rather than reinforce the alliance's defeated forces. As the alliance army advanced, a Chen Family figure in azure watched, confident that the family’s true strength would overwhelm them.
