• Yun Chang rushed toward Qin Hao in anguish as the crowd watched the fighters descend.

Yun Chang and the others watched Qin Hao and Wu Ge fall into a Spatial Rift, but Wu Ge severed most of his Divine Body and escaped before the rifts closed.

After Qin Hao fell through a Spatial Rift during his battle with Wu Ge, he discovered that the world below the Ancient Xuanhuang World was not Void Space. As he continued to descend, he found himself cut off from the Supreme Sword Tower and Lingxiaozi, leaving him without his planned escape route.

• Demon Ancestor Yin, the Ten-Thousand Poisons King, and Shang Cheng celebrated Qin Hao’s apparent death and fled while Wu Ge swallowed nearby Creation Experts.

• Qin Hao tried to reach the Supreme Sword Tower but discovered that the mysterious world had cut off his connection to it and Lingxiaozi.

Qin Hao fell through a strange space cut off from the Supreme Sword Tower, where dense Chaos Currents threatened to kill him. He survived a direct hit by drawing a current into his Self-World, but it began tearing that world apart just as he reached solid ground.

• Qin Hao wondered whether the space was the true Origin World or another layer within a fragment of it.
• As Qin Hao fell deeper, Chaos Currents filled the darkness and became increasingly dangerous.

• When another current rushed at him from behind, Qin Hao opened his Self-World and drew it inside, where it caused cracks throughout the world.
• Qin Hao landed on solid ground in a place without Chaos Currents while the current continued to batter his Self-World.

Qin Hao found himself in a barren wasteland beneath a sky packed with Chaos Currents, which had badly damaged his Self-World. After containing the strand inside it, he sensed a Ghost Soul like those from the Ancient Prison Dungeon emerging from the gray mist.

• Qin Hao sensed a desolate wasteland around him and dense Chaos Currents covering the sky above.
• Qin Hao failed to Refine the Chaos Currents in his Self-World, suffering a backlash as they tore through it.
• Qin Hao used the remaining World Spirit and World Boundary Power to contain the Chaos Currents, but realized his Self-World remained damaged and might collapse.
• Qin Hao decided to scout the area and look for a way back to the Ancient Xuanhuang World.
• Qin Hao sensed something watching him, then saw a towering, translucent figure emerge from the gray mist and recognized it as a Ghost Soul like those in the Ancient Prison Dungeon.

Qin Hao was trapped in a powerful illusion by an enormous creature that looked like a Ghost Soul, but he broke free by manifesting his Willpower Swordlet. After it tried to devour him, he realized the creature was the Remnant Soul of a Sovereign.

• Qin Hao sensed an enormous Ghost Soul and was engulfed by its vivid Illusory Realm.
• Qin Hao's physical sword strike failed, so he attacked the illusion with his Little Sword Martial Soul and manifested his Willpower Swordlet.
• Qin Hao's Willpower Swordlet shattered the Illusory Realm, revealing the Ghost Soul looming nearby.
• The Ghost Soul lunged at Qin Hao, who escaped with Near at Hand, Far Away.
• Qin Hao found that the creature held fragmented Great Dao Power and could not be affected by the Great Dao Spirit-Seizing Art.
• Qin Hao concluded that the creature was the Remnant Soul of a Sovereign, not a true Ghost Soul.

• Qin Hao detected a broken stele bearing the words “Sovereign's tomb” and then found one identifying the Tomb of the Firmament Sovereign.
• Qin Hao concluded that the area was a graveyard for powerful Sovereigns and wondered what had caused so many Nirvana Sovereigns to die.

Qin Hao fought through a seemingly endless swarm of Ghost Souls and their Illusory Realms, surviving only because his Willpower Swordlet kept cutting a path ahead. He regained his awareness badly wounded and found himself inside a protected area where the Ghost Souls could not enter.

• Tens of thousands of Ghost Souls attacked Qin Hao with overlapping Illusory Realms, forcing him to charge forward rather than fight back.
• Qin Hao's Willpower Swordlet shattered the illusions as he charged, splitting into two blades and growing stronger while he lost awareness of his goal.
• Qin Hao regained his awareness and discovered that Ghost Souls had torn chunks from his Divine Body, though he could heal the wounds with Divine Strength.
• Qin Hao detected Ghost Souls beyond a transparent barrier that prevented them from entering the area around him.

Qin Hao found that a weakening Fire Great Dao Shield was protecting him from the Ghost Souls, and he searched deeper for the source of its power and a possible escape. Elsewhere, Venerable Hun Yan sensed Qin Hao inside a ruined Palace surrounded by Ghost Souls.

• Qin Hao discovered that the barrier keeping the Ghost Souls out contained weak Fire Great Dao Power, and he realized the ordeal had strengthened his willpower.
• Qin Hao explored the protected area and found that the Fire Great Dao Shield was slowly shrinking as Ghost Souls gathered outside it.
• Qin Hao concluded that something deeper inside must be sustaining the shield and hurried inward, hoping it could help him escape.
• Venerable Hun Yan opened her eyes inside a ruined Palace and was surprised to sense Qin Hao nearby.

Qin Hao searched the Fire Great Dao barrier and found a stele beside a skeleton, then discovered that the figure in a Jade Slip was an Azure Flame Sect senior rather than the legendary Battleaxe Monarch. Sovereign Chengyu offered Qin Hao a Creation and a way out of the Abyssal Grave Realm in exchange for an Inner Demon oath and a promise.

• The man identified himself as Sovereign Chengyu of the Azure Flame Sect and offered Qin Hao a Creation and a way out in exchange for an Inner Demon oath and a promise.

Qin Hao activated a recorded image of Sovereign Chengyu, swore to fulfill the dead elder’s promise, and learned that the Abyssal Grave Realm was a burial ground for the Origin World’s fallen Nirvana Sovereigns. Chengyu explained that the only way out was to comprehend the realm’s World Boundary Power.

• Qin Hao realized Sovereign Chengyu was only a recorded image left behind by the Azure Flame Sect elder.
• Sovereign Chengyu offered to explain the Abyssal Grave Realm if Qin Hao swore to deliver a message for him.
• Qin Hao swore before Chengyu’s Fire Great Dao to fulfill the promise, and the Great Dao returned to Heaven and Earth.
• Sovereign Chengyu told Qin Hao that the Ancient Xuanhuang World was a fragment of the Origin World and that the Abyssal Grave Realm lay beneath it.
• Sovereign Chengyu explained that the Abyssal Grave Realm held the fallen Nirvana Sovereigns of the Origin World and that its only exit required comprehending its World Boundary Power.

Sovereign Chengyu explained that Qin Hao had to master the Abyssal Grave Realm’s World Boundary Power to breach its Spatial Barrier, but the route to the Ancient Xuanhuang World opened only when the worlds overlapped. Qin Hao realized he had at most two and a half years to escape before the opportunity vanished, and Sovereign Chengyu turned to the promise Qin Hao had made him.

• Qin Hao learned that World Power from his own Self-World could not breach the Abyssal Grave Realm’s Spatial Barrier, and Sovereign Chengyu said he needed to master the realm’s World Boundary Power.
• Sovereign Chengyu warned Qin Hao that breaching the barrier would lead into Void Space, where escape was perilous, unless the other side opened onto the Ancient Xuanhuang World.
• Sovereign Chengyu explained that the Ancient Xuanhuang World and the Abyssal Grave Realm overlapped only about once every hundred Epochs, and that he had tested the route himself.
• Qin Hao realized the current overlap gave him no more than two and a half years to master World Boundary Power and leave, or he might have to wait a hundred Epochs.
• Sovereign Chengyu told Qin Hao that it was time to discuss the promise Qin Hao had made him.

Qin Hao received a Jade Slip from Sovereign Chengyu, who asked him to deliver it to Lord Minhai of the Azure Flame Sect.

Qin Hao learned how Sovereign Chengyu had been trapped in the Abyssal Grave Realm and died after repeated attacks from Ghost Souls and Void Beasts. As Ghost Souls gathered around the Fire Great Dao Shield, Qin Hao realized he had to escape soon and vowed to kill the Heartless Demon Master and the Lord of Nightmares.

• Sovereign Chengyu emerged into the Void Space, where Void Beasts exhausted his treasures and worsened his injuries, forcing him back into the Abyssal Grave Realm.

• Qin Hao realized his Life Aura would attract Ghost Souls and that the Fire Great Dao Shield could fail against stronger ones.
• Qin Hao vowed to escape the Abyssal Grave Realm and kill the Heartless Demon Master and the Lord of Nightmares.

Qin Hao struggled to figure out how to comprehend the Abyssal Grave Realm’s World Boundary Power while sheltered by the Fire Great Dao around Sovereign Chengyu’s remains. He realized that World Power contained Great Dao Power and decided to pursue the dense Destruction Great Dao, hoping to master Destruction World Power.

• Qin Hao bowed before Sovereign Chengyu’s remains and began sensing the Abyssal Grave Realm while keeping the remains in place for protection from the Ghost Souls.
• Qin Hao searched his Self-World for clues but found its World Power nearly exhausted and realized that forming his own World Power differed from comprehending the realm’s World Boundary Power.

• Qin Hao recalled Sovereign Chengyu’s mastery of Flame World Power and concluded that World Power had different attributes and encompassed Great Dao Power.
• Qin Hao sensed the dense Destruction Great Dao and resolved to comprehend it, believing it could lead him to Destruction World Power.

Qin Hao struggled to comprehend the Abyssal Grave Realm’s Destruction Great Dao quickly enough to escape before the Ancient Xuanhuang World’s exit closed. He found that his Self-World accelerated his comprehension and began cultivating with only two years left, while Yun Chang searched the Ancient Xuanhuang World for Heavenly Wonders and Xuanhuang Stone.

• Qin Hao spent half a month studying the Destruction Great Dao, but gained only a faint trace of Dao Resonance and realized he was running out of time.
• Qin Hao decided to use his Self-World to accelerate his comprehension and convert the Destruction Great Dao into World Boundary Power.
• Qin Hao tested his method and quickly formed a wisp of Destruction Dao Resonance inside his Self-World.
• Qin Hao resolved to master the Destruction Great Dao within two years and began another round of cultivation.
• Yun Chang frantically searched the Ancient Xuanhuang World for Heavenly Wonders and Xuanhuang Stone.

Yun Chang found a substantial Xuanhuang Stone Vein and collected its stones, but he still needed more to buy the Dust-Cleansing Immortal Ruler. He set out to keep searching so he could grow stronger, defeat Wu Ge, and learn whether Qin Hao was alive, while Qin Hao worked on comprehending the Destruction Great Dao in the Abyssal Grave Realm.

• Yun Chang searched the barren northwestern region for three days before finding a Xuanhuang Stone Vein deep underground.
• Yun Chang spent several more days collecting the vein’s stones, gaining over three hundred million Xuanhuang Stones.
• Yun Chang calculated that he still needed more than three billion stones to buy the Dust-Cleansing Immortal Ruler and resolve to use it to master the Space Great Dao.
• Yun Chang left to hunt for more Xuanhuang Stone Veins, determined to defeat Wu Ge and search for Qin Hao.
• Qin Hao continued comprehending the Destruction Great Dao in the Abyssal Grave Realm.

Qin Hao continued comprehending the Destruction Great Dao in the Abyssal Grave Realm, forming 482 strands of Destruction Dao Resonance after half a year. When he used them against the Chaos Currents in his Self-World, they destroyed a wisp outright, revealing power that astonished him.

• Qin Hao formed his 482nd strand of Destruction Dao Resonance and assessed his progress in the Destruction and Heaven and Earth Great Daos.
• Qin Hao considered whether his Three Doppelgangers could offer another way to break through the Spatial Barrier if his True Self failed.
• Qin Hao withdrew the World Spirit and World Boundary Power suppressing the Chaos Currents, then surrounded the freed wisp with Destruction Dao Resonance.
• Qin Hao watched the Destruction Dao Resonance tighten around the Chaos Currents and destroy them completely.
• Qin Hao realized that his 482 strands of Destruction Dao Resonance had obliterated Chaos Currents and seemed stronger than the ordinary Destruction Great Dao.

Qin Hao discovered that the Abyssal Grave Realm’s Great Dao was far more powerful than the Great Daos outside and began cultivating the Destruction Great Dao, hoping to use it to escape before the Ancient Xuanhuang World departed. Meanwhile, Creation Experts continued battling over treasures in the Ancient Xuanhuang World, where a wary Mechanical Race expert approached the palace to trade Xuanhuang Stone.

• Qin Hao realized that the Abyssal Grave Realm’s Destruction Dao Resonance was powerful enough to rival or surpass a Complete Great Dao from outside, and concluded that the realm could help him advance his own Great Dao.
• Qin Hao sensed the Fire Great Dao aura in Sovereign Chengyu’s remains weakening and estimated that he had only a year and a half to cultivate before he needed to escape.
• Qin Hao closed his eyes and resumed cultivating the Destruction Great Dao alongside his Devouring Doppelganger, Time Doppelganger, and Fire Doppelganger.
• Creation Experts across the Ancient Xuanhuang World fought and died over Xuanhuang Stone and Heavenly Wonders as more experts grew stronger.
• A Marquis-Rank Creation expert of the Mechanical Race cautiously hid at the edge of a Dense Forest near the palace, wary of nearby Alien Race experts and King-Sealing Creation experts.
