Emperor Langtuo used his ancestral soul to wield sacred qi with near-Half-Sage combat skill, challenging Fang Yun and Ye Hongyu. Fang Yun defended against Langtuo’s layered blood-fist attack with Withering Force and summoned Sound Swallower, leaving its power to be revealed.

• Emperor Langtuo’s wolf barbarian ancestral soul joined with him, greatly refining his control over sacred qi and combat instincts.

• Fang Yun summoned Sound Swallower from the River of History and fed it a sacred qi cluster.

Fang Yun used Sound Swallower to silence Emperor Langtuo and devour his anger, driving the Ancestral Soul-possessed Demon Barbarian into a madness that burned him to ashes.

Fang Yun learned from Ye Hongyu that Saint Enfeoffment was limited by the world’s resources and that Yi Zhishi’s past neutrality had been a gesture tied to the competition for it. Fang Yun refused to yield his path to the Sacred Way, ending with a poem declaring that his sword would answer anyone who tried to stop him.

• Ye Hongyu said Yi Zhishi might want to attain Saint Enfeoffment before Lei Konghe and warned that others could try to delay Fang Yun’s own attainment.
• Fang Yun declared in a poem that he would not yield his Sacred Way, and that his sword would answer anyone who asked him to do so.

Fang Yun and Ye Hongyu reached the Hanging Mountain, where the Ancient God Pagoda stood above a White Jade Stone Stairway. With the Demon Barbarians blocking the allied races and calling for Fang Yun’s death, Fang Yun stayed as Li Zhenggang explained how the Demon Emperor had taken control of access to the pagoda.

• Fang Yun and Ye Hongyu improved their strength through sparring and literary jade, while Fang Yun formed the Azure Edge Sword and Ancient Qin Brick.

• The Demon Barbarians urged one another to kill Fang Yun, but he ignored warnings from Li Zhenggang and others and continued toward them.
• Li Zhenggang told Fang Yun that the Demon Emperor had intimidated the other forces, divided the Demon Barbarians, and allowed the Dragon Race, Fierce Spirits, and Saint Spirits to climb the steps while blocking the allied races.

Fang Yun learned about the forces gathered around the Ancient God Pagoda and reunited with the Horned Tiger King, who revealed the Sacred Ruins had been shattered and that Burial Saint Valley was draining his lifespan. As Fang Yun neared the Four-Race Allied Army, He Mingyuan formed the Seven Heroes World Realm, empowering seven Great Scholars to contend with an emperor-realm being.

• Li Zhenggang explained that the Demon Barbarians outnumbered the Four-Race Allied Army, while many powerful races had entered the Ancient God Pagoda.
• Fang Yun spoke with the Horned Tiger King, who described the destruction of the Sacred Ruins and revealed that Burial Saint Valley had reduced his remaining lifespan to five years.
• The Horned Tiger King said the Brush Elder might be in the Ancient God Pagoda, and Fang Yun promised him a Space-Breaking Talisman, sacred qi clusters, and a rare treasure.
• Fang Yun asked Ape Bay King, Crab Spider, and his other friends to look after the Horned Tiger King.
• As Fang Yun approached the allied army, He Mingyuan replaced the Five Peaks World with the Seven Heroes World Realm, and seven Great Scholars rose on the map of the Warring States kingdoms with power to contend with an emperor-realm being.

The demon barbarians discussed isolating Fang Yun before entering the Ancient God Pagoda, while the human Great Scholars debated whether he could protect himself. Fang Yun met Jing Lixiao, a Literary Ancestor from the Sea-Cliff Ancient Land, and suspected he was connected to Lei Tingyu.

• The seven human Great Scholars formed Founding the World Realm, suppressing the demon barbarians’ Blood Banner and alarming the watching kings and emperors.
• The Mouse Mi Emperor proposed letting everyone except Fang Yun enter the Ancient God Pagoda so the demon barbarians could kill him without interference.
• Li Zhenggang warned Fang Yun that the demon barbarians could surround him, but Fang Yun said his Mountain Island and Sacred Way power could keep him safe.
• He Mingyuan introduced Jing Lixiao, who criticized Fang Yun based on what he had heard from Lei Tingyu.
• Ye Hongyu asked Jing Lixiao whether he knew Fang Yun’s age, and the Great Scholars let him continue misunderstanding Fang Yun’s abilities.
• Fang Yun suspected Jing Lixiao had ties to Lei Tingyu or the Lei Family and chose not to answer him.

The Demon Barbarians swore Blood Oaths allowing the other races to enter the Ancient God Pagoda while barring Fang Yun, splitting the allied army as Fang Yun fled their pursuit. Jing Lixiao began to suspect Fang Yun's importance but, resenting the Saint Origin Continent scholars' silence, considered helping Lei Tingyu against him.

• Mouse Mi Emperor and the other Demon Barbarian emperors swore Blood Oaths, opened a path to the White Jade Stone Steps, and threatened anyone who stayed with Fang Yun.
• Ape Boil Emperor and other members of the Four-Race Allied Army entered the path, causing the army to split apart as the Demon Barbarians chased Fang Yun.
• Fang Yun sped away by infusing Withering Force into his Mountain Island and told his friends to enter the Ancient God Pagoda without him.
• Ye Hongyu, Crab Spider, and the other Great Scholars headed for the White Jade Stone Steps, while Jing Lixiao questioned them about Fang Yun and received no answers.
• Jing Lixiao grew angry at the Saint Origin Continent Great Scholars and considered using an opportunity to do Lei Tingyu a favor against Fang Yun.

Fang Yun fled across the sea as the Demon Barbarians pursued him, while three Emperor Realm experts caught up and attacked. Fang Yun struggled to penetrate their defenses and studied their abilities as the chase continued.

• Fang Yun repeatedly accelerated his Mountain Island, leaving the Demon Barbarians behind as the four races climbed toward the Ancient God Pagoda.
• Jing Lixiao reached Hanging Mountain and continued on, while Li Zhenggang and Ye Hongyu stayed to watch Fang Yun.
• Mouse Mi Emperor, Turtle Qing Emperor, and the Tiger Barbarian Emperor abandoned their Mountain Islands and reached Fang Yun.
• Fang Yun attacked the three Emperors with War Poetry and the True Dragon Ancient Sword, but Mouse Mi Emperor evaded him while Turtle Qing Emperor's shell and the Tiger Barbarian Emperor's armor resisted his attacks.
• Fang Yun assessed the three Emperors' strengths as they continued fighting, while Mouse Mi Emperor deliberately stayed behind the other two.

Fang Yun used the Starfire Armillary Mirror, his Literary Platforms, and a rare treasure to defeat the Tiger Barbarian Emperor, then captured Turtle Qing Emperor with the Sin Turtle Prison Chariot. Mouse Mi Emperor escaped, while Fang Yun’s display established his authority over the Water Race and left Ye Hongyu free to head for the Ancient God Pagoda.

• Fang Yun slowed the three pursuing Emperors with the Starfire Armillary Mirror, then sent his War-Poem Soldiers after Mouse Mi Emperor and Turtle Qing Emperor while confronting Tiger Barbarian Emperor himself.
• Fang Yun empowered his Literary Platform creatures with the Demon Ancestor Star Position and detonated the cracked Emperor-realm rare treasure against Tiger Barbarian Emperor, filling him with Withering Force.
• Fang Yun’s Nine-Headed Giant Serpent and Literary Platform Evil Dragon wore down Tiger Barbarian Emperor until the Withering Force corroded his Emperor-realm power, allowing the True Dragon Ancient Sword to kill him.
• Mouse Mi Emperor fled, while Fang Yun invoked the Dragon Bone Sage Edict and Two-Dragon Imperial Seal and used the Sin Turtle Prison Chariot to capture Turtle Qing Emperor.
• Ye Hongyu rushed toward the Ancient God Pagoda, and Li Zhenggang realized Fang Yun had still not used his full strength.

Fang Yun’s display of power drove the Demon Barbarians to swear they would kill him, while he refined Turtle Qing Emperor’s armor into a protective battle body. He left the Demon Barbarians raging on their Mountain Islands as he equipped himself with the new armor.

• The Demon Barbarians recognized Fang Yun’s strength and agreed that they could not let him enter the Ancient God Pagoda alive.
• Elephant-Pattern King offered to burn his bloodline to kill Fang Yun, and the Demon Barbarians rallied behind him as their Blood Banner unleashed their ferocity.

• The Crime-Suppressing Literary Platform dropped Turtle Qing Emperor’s corpse before Fang Yun, who removed the tortoise armor veil from its shell.
• Fang Yun refined the veil with Withering Force and used part of Turtle Qing Emperor’s shell to form a blue-black armor barrier around himself.

Fang Yun used the Tortoise Armor Battle Body to outmaneuver the pursuing Demon Barbarians and return to Hanging Mountain. He climbed the White Jade Stone Steps with little resistance and reached the summit, astonishing the beings still struggling below.

• Fang Yun examined the powerful Tortoise Armor Battle Body, which Turtle Qing Emperor had forged with sacred materials, and the Demon Barbarians resumed their pursuit.
• After leaving the Emperor Realm experts’ sight, Fang Yun infused Withering Force into the Mountain Island, circled around the pursuers, and returned to Hanging Mountain’s vicinity.
• Fang Yun found various beings stalled near the top of the White Jade Stone Steps and recited his works while approaching the staircase.
• Fang Yun stepped onto the stairs, sensed resistance against his mental power, and climbed through it with ease.
• Fang Yun reached Hanging Mountain, leaving the beings on the final steps startled by his sudden arrival.

Fang Yun crossed the White Jade Stone Steps and entered the first floor of the Ancient God Pagoda, a vast maze known as the Ancient God Treasure Pavilion. He rode deeper into its dark corridors, recalling warnings about the mummy guardians that protected its treasure halls.

• Fang Yun confirmed that the White Jade Stone Steps tested mental strength and that his powerful Literary Palace had shielded him from their force.
• Fang Yun reached the summit, where a beam of divine light transported him inside the Ancient God Pagoda.
• Fang Yun summoned Desert Night Horse and found that the first chamber had only one open passage through its maze-like corridors.
• Fang Yun rode through the dark, silent maze and recalled that its separate treasure pavilions contained treasures guarded by mindless mummies.
• Fang Yun remembered how Demon Barbarians had once charged into an unusually lavish treasure pavilion filled with mummies while Micro Nether secretly followed them.

Fang Yun found a Treasure Pavilion containing a gigantic, mysterious finger whose patterns seemed to offer a path to Saint Enfeoffment. He discovered dead and living beings of many races meditating around it, and the chapter ended with him facing the strange scene.

• Fang Yun hurried through the Ancient God Treasure Pavilion while considering sacred way objects and treasures that could help him grow stronger.
• Fang Yun sensed warmth and a vast, sunlike presence, then spotted a glowing Treasure Pavilion and prepared for danger.
• Fang Yun donned the Tortoise Armor Battle Body, which shattered his War-Poem Warhorse under its enormous weight, and continued on Walking the Blue Clouds.
• Fang Yun entered a gold-filled hall where black statues held dried corpses and a ten-story humanoid finger stood at the center.
• Fang Yun felt that comprehending the patterns on the finger could let him undergo Saint Enfeoffment, and saw beings of many races meditating around it, most dead and some still alive.

Fang Yun saw through the illusion in the Treasure Pavilion’s first room and continued onward, but an unseen force clouded his mind and covered his Literary Guts with dust. As his fear and doubts nearly overwhelmed him, the Literary Palace Flame rekindled his resolve.

• Fang Yun used a mirror to reveal that the dead seekers were illusions, then left the Treasure Pavilion without taking the finger.
• Fang Yun traveled deeper into the Ancient God Treasure Pavilion and felt an elusive force unsettling his thoughts.
• Fang Yun found dust on his Literary Guts and questioned whether his understanding of the Classics and Sacred Way was mistaken.
• Fang Yun’s fear grew until darkness engulfed his vision and his Literary Palace began to shake.
• The Literary Palace Flame flickered, and Fang Yun recalled Confucius’s words about understanding life and death, causing his eyes to brighten.

Fang Yun overcame the maze’s mental pressure by affirming that his heart knew itself, clearing the dust from his literary guts and strengthening his resolve. He then pursued the Bear Effigy Emperor, who had obtained a treasure, and their fight began as the bear summoned a Half-Sage Ancestral Soul.

• Fang Yun questioned his doubts and resolved to trust what he could know, causing the dust on his literary guts to burn away.
• Fang Yun continued through the maze, feeling his literary guts improve as he faced the force influencing his thoughts.
• Fang Yun encountered the Bear Effigy Emperor, who fled when Fang Yun charged toward him.
• Fang Yun guessed that the Bear Effigy Emperor had found a treasure and offered to trade sacred qi clusters for it.
• The Bear Effigy Emperor turned to fight Fang Yun, who summoned war-poem soldiers, Flowing Current, and two spirit bones.
• The Bear Effigy Emperor invoked a Half-Sage Ancestral Soul and raised his aura to resemble a Half-Sage’s.

Fang Yun used his newly strengthened deductions and war poems to counter the Bear Effigy Emperor’s flawed Domain Fragment. He left the Emperor trapped in a fiery illusion, while the fight remained unresolved.

• The Bear Effigy Emperor’s Domain Fragment deflected Fang Yun’s attacks, so Fang Yun inferred that the power was limited and incomplete.
• Fang Yun conjured Mount Lu with an Enemy-Blocking Poem, forcing the Bear Effigy Emperor to destroy it and expose himself to Fang Yun’s army and weapons.
• Fang Yun’s repeated attacks wore down the Domain Fragment as the Bear Effigy Emperor charged to end the battle quickly.
• Fang Yun summoned a vast river with a new Great-Scholar War Poetry, but the Bear Effigy Emperor shattered it with Sage Aspect Strike.
• The Bear Effigy Emperor found himself in an illusory Human Race city and unleashed flames that swept through it.

Fang Yun wore down Bear Effigy Emperor’s Domain Fragment and used the opening to sharpen his battle skills. He then broke through to the Fourth Realm of Great Scholars, Pacification of the World, as powers from across Saint Origin Continent answered him and Bear Effigy Emperor’s Ancestral Soul hesitated.

• Fang Yun repeatedly trapped Bear Effigy Emperor with Seeing Off at Jingmen and blocked his attacks with the Enemy-Blocking Poem while studying his combat methods.
• Fang Yun wore away Bear Effigy Emperor’s Domain Fragment until it shattered, then shifted to targeting his weaknesses and applying the Withering Force.
• Fang Yun broke through to the Fourth Realm of Great Scholars, Pacification of the World, and his Realm of Family, State, and World expanded.
• Places across Saint Origin Continent connected with Fang Yun and sent him power, while his Blood Radiance Literary Platform transformed into rain within his realm.
• Bear Effigy Emperor remained unable to act freely as his Ancestral Soul hesitated, wary of Fang Yun and the Starfire Armillary Mirror.

Fang Yun’s Realm of Family, State, and World transformed into a unique Bloodmang World Realm as the Bloodmang Realm grew and moved toward the Saint Origin Continent. The chapter left Fang Yun testing his new realm in the labyrinth, while the Bear Effigy Emperor struggled to understand its power.

• The elders of Bloodmang Hall agreed to refuse the Eastern Sage Pavilion’s demands for the Literary Star Fragment until Fang Yun returned and decided what to do with it.
• As the Bloodmang Realm expanded, its residents felt tremors and saw auspicious clouds, while Yun Zhaochен’s divination indicated that the changes were a blessing.
• Fang Yun’s Realm of Family, State, and World absorbed the rain and grew powerful enough to shake the labyrinth, forcing the Bear Effigy Emperor to retreat.
• The realm transformed into a miniature planet with a sun and moon, then became a rectangular world that adapted to the corridor and expanded for twenty-five miles.
• Fang Yun named it his unique Bloodmang World Realm and sensed that it combined Withering Force, an aura of dominion, and a power that obstructed Divine Sense.

Fang Yun established the Bloodmang World Realm, overwhelming the Bear Effigy Emperor and forcing him to flee. After examining the strange metal the emperor left behind, Fang Yun recognized it as the origin of heaven and earth and decided to consolidate his new realm before Tempering Destiny.

• Fang Yun's Bloodmang World Realm dispersed the Bear Effigy Emperor's Sage Aspect Strike, slowed his movements, and disrupted his ability to sense Fang Yun clearly.
• The Bear Effigy Emperor gave Fang Yun a ball of light and fled, but Fang Yun pursued him until he judged the chase too dangerous and stopped.
• Fang Yun opened the ball of light and discovered black metal that attracted nearby objects and strengthened the powers within his Literary Palace.
• Fang Yun identified the metal as the origin of heaven and earth, a rare treasure also called the Source of the Sacred Way, and stored it in his Literary Palace.
• Fang Yun decided not to begin Tempering Destiny yet and chose to consolidate his Pacification of the World Realm first.
