Arc 26The Regent King’s War
Li Xuancang brought the Spirit Realm under the Divine Dynasty, survived the destruction of the Holy Spirit Realm, and led a counteroffensive against the Abyss while consolidating his authority. The arc ended with Divine Dynasty and Heaven Realm forces caught between the Abyss and the Insect Race, then fighting their way out as the two enemies turned on each other.

- Lei Tianjue returned and challenged Li Xuancang’s authority, but the God Emperor appointed Li Xuancang Regent King and Lei Tianjue chose to support him.
- The Divine Dynasty and Heaven Realm counterattacked the Abyss, but the Soul-Seizing Elder and an Ancestral Artifact inflicted heavy losses on their forces.
- Li Xuancang confronted the Abyss and destroyed many attackers with the God Emperor’s power, while the Heaven Realm army remained trapped and its Cloud City began to fail.
- The Insect Race surrounded the battered forces, but Lei Tianjue and other Divine Dynasty experts arrived to help them escape, and the Abyss Demonic Beasts turned on the insects.
