During Ye Liuyun’s attempt to break through, Fang Xing witnessed the Martial God’s Dharma Body, learned the final Martial Will Secret Mark diagram, and discerned Ye Liuyun’s plan to destroy and rebuild his body.

Thirteen days after the Old Headmaster’s failed breakthrough, Fang Xing joined Xu Sanyang in Imaginary Space to hunt a peak eighth-realm Spawn of Chaos. They killed it, and Fang Xing secretly devoured part of its body to improve his Great Sun Tathagata Mantra.

After Fang Xing killed a Flame Spawn and advanced the Great Sun Tathagata Mantra to Master Level, the Gate of Emptiness appeared and exposed the corpse of the Great Sun Evil God. As the Gate overwhelmed Fang Xing and Xu Sanyang, Fang Xing began unleashing the tenth move of the Great Sun Tathagata Palm.

Fang Xing and Xu Sanyang returned to 996 Camp gravely wounded after surviving a confrontation with a Twelfth Realm existence behind the Gate of Emptiness. While receiving treatment, Fang Xing concealed his ability to recover and learned that his condition was better than Xu Sanyang’s, though the Contamination had left a Gate imprint in his Martial Will.

After Lingxu diagnosed Fang Xing with severe, incurable Evil God Contamination, Fang Xing left the hospital appearing recovered but remained physically weakened and unable to cultivate or fight. He resumed handling his affairs, continued his mecha project, and ordered Vega to investigate Xi Ling before she resigned.

The palace’s Artifact Spirit offered him only Registered Disciple status because he was human, leaving him to wonder whether his true spirit could be killed there.
