Lei Junhui demanded that Qin Hao and the others surrender their divine souls and mine cloud-pattern stone for him, but Qin Hao refused and faced Lei Junhui in battle. After Qin Hao blocked Lei Junhui’s first strike, Lei Junhui attacked with far greater power, and Qin Hao began building up his Canglan sword technique.

Yun Chang and the others joined the fight to drain Lei Junhui’s strength, while Lei Junhui hesitated over whether to unleash the technique’s fourth layer, Ten Thousand Waves Divine Thunder.

• Lei Junhui unleashed Thousand Waves, Raging Thunder, and Qin Hao used Crimson Moon Origin-Returning Slash and Water-Flowing Swords to weaken and hold back the lightning waves.

• Yun Chang led Eugene, the Blood Crow Captain, and the others in attacking Lei Junhui to drain his divine strength.
• Lei Junhui realized his divine strength could not sustain another use of the first three layers and hesitated over unleashing Ten Thousand Waves Divine Thunder.

• Lei Junhui considered using Ten Thousand Waves Divine Thunder despite the risk of backlash, deciding Qin Hao was too dangerous to let escape.

• Lei Junhui unleashed a powerful saber strike that blasted Yun Chang, Eugene, Blood Crow Captain, Succubus, and the others away and severely wounded them.
• Qin Hao judged that his Crimson Moon Origin-Returning Slash alone could not match Lei Junhui’s attack and summoned his time doppelganger.
• Qin Hao used the Thousand Shadows Spirit Transformation Art to merge his time doppelganger into his true self, greatly increasing his strength and allowing him to wield time true meaning.
• Qin Hao swung the Heavenly Abyss Sword and unleashed a Crimson Moon Origin-Returning Slash that he believed could rival a half-step Divine King.
• Lei Junhui sensed Qin Hao’s increased power, realized his own divine strength was draining quickly, and brought his saber down to unleash vast swaths of lightning at him.

• Qin Hao and Lei Junhui both collapsed after their clash, but Lei Junhui suffered backlash from forcing out the fourth layer of the Myriad Thunder Wave-Stacking Strike.

• Qin Hao asked Lei Junhui why he had not withdrawn at the start.

Qin Hao considered Lei Junhui’s offer of cultivation resources but refused to spare him, even after learning that Lei Junhui’s elder brother was the Myriad Thunder Sacred Court’s Holy Son. Lei Junhui’s threats angered Yun Chang, who broke his leg, while Qin Hao still had to decide what to do with him.

• Lei Junhui begged Qin Hao to spare him and offered him any cultivation resources he wanted, while the Blood Crow Captain and Yun Chang warned that he still had killing intent.
• Qin Hao refused the offer, saying Lei Junhui’s death mattered more than his resources.
• Lei Junhui revealed that his elder brother, Lei Junyao, was the Myriad Thunder Sacred Court’s Holy Son and was in the Red Moon Cave Abode, prompting Qin Hao and the others to consider the danger of killing him.
• Lei Junhui threatened Qin Hao and demanded that he hand over anything he had gained from a fortuitous opportunity.
• Yun Chang broke Lei Junhui’s right leg, and the Blood Crow Captain and the others anxiously waited for Qin Hao’s decision.

Qin Hao rejected killing or releasing Lei Junhui because either choice could bring the Myriad Thunder Sacred Court’s Holy Son after them. He decided to imprison Lei Junhui in the Supreme Sword Tower and began by piercing his dantian, leaving him severely weakened.

• The Blood Crow Captain and Eugene warned Qin Hao that killing Lei Junhui could provoke his Divine King brother, while letting him go would allow him to summon reinforcements.
• Yun Chang offered to take Lei Junhui away and kill him elsewhere, but Qin Hao explained that his brother could trace their trail and still find them.

Qin Hao and Yun Chang abandoned the Cloud-Pattern Stone Vein after mining six hundred million cloud-pattern stones, fearing Lei Junyao would find them. As they fled in separate directions, Lei Junyao discovered that Lei Junhui’s aura had split between two locations and realized something was wrong.

• Qin Hao decided to leave the vein despite much of it remaining unmined, and he and Yun Chang headed for the surface.
• Qin Hao told Yun Chang that Lei Junhui’s brother, Lei Junyao, was a Lower Divine King who had arrived with dozens of Divine Kings, including three High Divine Kings.
• Qin Hao suspected Lei Junyao could track Lei Junhui through his aura and warned Yun Chang that they might have to split up if Lei Junyao caught up.
• Qin Hao revealed that his light doppelganger and the Thousand Shadows Spirit Transformation Art could let him resurrect, though the process would carry severe costs.
• Qin Hao and Yun Chang flew away in opposite directions, while Lei Junyao emerged nearby and noticed Lei Junhui’s aura had split between two locations.

Lei Junyao used his brother's Life Token to track Lei Junhui and raced toward signs of trouble. At the battle site, Xuan Yinchen deduced that a powerful native Law Divine Lord had fought Lei Junhui over a Cloud-Pattern Stone Vein, and Lei Junyao arrived demanding to know who had attacked his brother.

• Lei Junyao saw Lei Junhui's aura at two locations on the Life Token and rushed toward the lingering aura, fearing his brother had been in a major battle.

• Lei Junyao found traces of Lei Junhui's battle in the Underground Tunnel and sensed his aura and Life Token pointing toward the person who had taken him.
• Xuan Yinchen decided to delay Lei Junyao, claiming he would contend for the Cloud-Pattern Stone Vein, and struck first.
• Lei Junyao and Xuan Yinchen exchanged powerful blows, and the shockwaves injured cultivators who had gathered nearby.
• Lei Junyao broke away and raced after Qin Hao, warning Xuan Yinchen that he would remember the obstruction.
• Xuan Yinchen let Lei Junyao go and reflected that the person who subdued Lei Junhui might be a talent worth recruiting.
• The arriving cultivators spotted the Cloud-Pattern Stone Vein and grew greedy.

Xuan Yinchen killed cultivators who rushed for the Cloud-Pattern Stone Vein and began mining it himself. Meanwhile, Qin Hao realized Lei Junyao was closing in to rescue Lei Junhui, and his group concluded that releasing Lei Junhui would not save them.

• Xuan Yinchen unleashed a shockwave that killed seven or eight peak-stage Dao-Origin Divine Lords and drove the remaining cultivators away.

• Eugene urged Qin Hao to hide inside the Mirror Lake Profound Heaven Mirror, but Blood Crow Captain argued that Lei Junyao would keep pursuing them.
• Divine Lord Yunlan suggested releasing Lei Junhui, but Qin Hao explained that neither Lei Junyao nor Lei Junhui would let them escape.

Qin Hao split from Yun Chang, Eugene, and the others to draw Lei Junyao away while they fled in another direction. Lei Junyao reached the point where they had separated, then accelerated after Qin Hao.

• Qin Hao decided to lure Lei Junyao away because he could not fight a Lower Divine King, and told the others to escape and keep gathering cloud-pattern stones.
• Qin Hao released Eugene, Blood Crow Captain, and the others from the Mirror Lake Profound Heaven Mirror as Lei Junyao's lightning drew near.

• Blood Crow Captain took Yun Chang and the others in another direction, while Yun Chang cursed their lack of strength.
• Lei Junyao reached the spot where the groups had split, paused briefly, then sped after Qin Hao.

Qin Hao fled Lei Junyao by burrowing underground, but the Lower Divine King pursued him while nearby cultivators assumed Qin Hao was doomed. Yun Chang and the others followed the Blood Crow Captain’s plan to search beneath Red Moon for Qin Hao’s light doppelganger and continue collecting cloud-pattern stone.

• Qin Hao realized Lei Junyao was far stronger than he was and dove underground to escape him.
• Lei Junyao followed Qin Hao underground, while distant cultivators discussed the pursuit and dispersed to search for cloud-pattern stone.
