• Ye Xuanxiao split his weakened power into streams and escaped the Dao Source Forbidden Land after the Great Void Creation Wheel suppressed him.
• Ye Xuanxiao withdrew the Nether Edict Forbidden Ground into the void and threatened to enslave Gu Yuanqing, who kept the Dao Source Forbidden Land as a foothold.

Li Lingyun arranged for a hidden command token to let devils enter the Ling Yuan Realm, accelerating its collapse and drawing Gu Yuanqing’s suspicions. Two and a half years later, a Chaos Heaven Deathless Great Demon forced his way in and battled the weakened realm’s Heavenly Punishment Power, leaving its fall imminent.

• Li Lingyun refined a blood-marked talisman, entered the God Ruins to retrieve an item, and gave Xu Haoque a black command token to secretly leave in the Ling Yuan Realm.

Xuan Jiu’s attack on the Ling Yuan Realm coincided with a full assault by the Devil Race of the Boundary Abyss, forcing Mu Tianheng to divide his strength between the two fronts. Li Lingyun secretly summoned the Underworld against Qi Yichen, weakening the defenses, and the chapter ended as the Boundary Abyss’s defensive line shattered.

• Mu Tianheng warned the others too late as the Boundary Abyss’s entire defensive line abruptly shattered.

Xuan Jiu sacrificed himself to destroy the Ling Yuan Realm’s last refuge, causing it to fall into the Demon Realm and weakening the formations protecting the Exquisite Realms. As the Boundary Abyss fell and the Devil Race poured into the God Ruins, Mu Tianheng and Ning Xuxuan ordered their forces to retreat toward the Boundary Gate.

• Mu Tianheng, Lei Fuyue, and Li Lingyun debated who had leaked the Boundary Gate secret, while Ning Xuxuan asked Mu Tianheng whether the Primordial Divine Sect would leave him a path forward and then departed.

Li Lingyun’s ambition to seize a chance at the Fa Yuan Realm helped drive the Primordial Divine Sect into a war against the Devil Race, while Ye Xuanxiao exposed Gu Yuanqing’s Dao Source Forbidden Land. Gu Yuanqing repelled the Devil Race’s probes, but discovered that one devil had hidden an Avatar among the Blood Mosquitoes.

• A winged Chaos Heaven Immortal Level Great Demon released Blood Mosquitoes to scout the Forbidden Ground, and Gu Yuanqing spotted an Avatar concealed among them.

Gu Yuanqing captured and imprisoned the Bloodwing Bat King’s avatar after suppressing him in the Dao Source Forbidden Land, then studied the war and the changes overtaking the Ling Yuan Realm. Six months later, he watched the realm’s powers gather around its original Teleportation Array as they waited for its source power to emerge.

• Gu Yuanqing used North Spring Mountain Shadow Suppression to crush the Bloodwing Bat King’s avatar and dragged him into the North Spring Grotto-Heaven, prompting the Devil Race to retreat.
• Gu Yuanqing failed to search the Bloodwing Bat King’s soul, suppressed him, and imprisoned him beside Ye Xuanxiao on Repentance Cliff.
• Gu Yuanqing concluded that his will could not yet overcome the Deathlessness of chaos heaven immortal level beings and waited six months without further Motion and Stillness from the Devil Race.

Lie Shanyi learned that Gu Yuanqing might enter the struggle for the fallen Ling Yuan Realm, while Gu Yuanqing waited for its origin to condense. When the Origin Dragon emerged, Gu Yuanqing overwhelmed the rival powers with one palm and left the origin within his reach.

• Lie Shanyi heard reports that Gu Yuanqing had seized Wu Earth Essence and worried that he could disrupt the contest for the Ling Yuan Realm's origin.
• Gu Yuanqing waited as the Ling Yuan Realm's origin gathered, and the realm's membrane shattered as it descended into the Black Sea.

• The surrounding armies retreated as the four Chaos Heaven Immortal Level Great Cultivators faced one another over the World Origin.
• Gu Yuanqing claimed the entire World Origin and told the three emperors to leave; Di Xiao attacked him with his saber, and Gu Yuanqing met the strike with one finger.

Barbarian Emperor Di Xiao tried to steal the Ling Yuan Realm Origin, but Gu Yuanqing trapped him and forced him to put it down. The four powerful cultivators then competed for the Origin, and their first clash began when Gu Yuanqing stepped forward to claim it.

• Barbarian Emperor Di Xiao attacked Gu Yuanqing, using the exchange to approach the World Origin and seize the Origin Dragon.
• Di Xiao opened a space rift to escape, but Gu Yuanqing closed it, trapping him between Gu Yuanqing, the Demon Emperor, and Divine Emperor Lie Shanyu.

• After their auras clashed in a tense standoff, Gu Yuanqing stepped forward, prompting Di Xiao to strike, the Demon Emperor to unleash Solar True Fire, and Lie Shanyu to reach for the Origin.

Gu Yuanqing defeated the Demon Emperor, Divine Emperor Lie Shanyu, and Barbarian Emperor, then refined the Ling Yuan Realm’s origin into his Heavenly Human World.

Meanwhile, Gu Yuanqing advanced his understanding of the chaos heaven immortal realm and began refining his divine abilities before the Era Cycle.

• Gu Yuanqing sensed Spirituality developing within his Heavenly Human World and spent two years cultivating in North Spring Grotto-Heaven, deepening his understanding of the chaos heaven immortal realm.
• With fewer than two years remaining until the Era Cycle, Gu Yuanqing summoned Li Chengyi, hosted a family banquet, and used the Dao Yan method to derive an improved North Spring World Suppressing Seal.

Gu Yuanqing mastered a new form of the North Spring World Suppressing Seal, gaining a way to harm chaos heaven immortals and suppress Rules Divine Artifact power. He considered using that power safely, then visited Li Chengyi as his son prepared for his Calamity, ending with Gu Yuanqing reflecting on the loneliness of his Dao Path.

• Gu Yuanqing cultivated the North Spring World Suppressing Seal until he could maintain thirty-six dao principle brands within the North Spring Mountain phantom.

• Gu Yuanqing left Li Chengyi and reflected that his cultivation had separated him from his former companions, then looked toward the Outer Lands where the Heaven Treading Immortal Steed was.

The Devil Race seized the Guiji Forbidden Land and prepared to attack the Boundary Gate, forcing the Primordial Divine Sect and the Hidden Sun Alliance to mobilize for war. Ning Xuxuan asked Gu Yuanqing to help defend the realm, and as the great battle began, he crushed Gu Yuanqing’s token to summon him.

Gu Yuanqing settled on Immeasurable Mountain, explored its spatial trials, and learned that Mu Tianheng intended to use the approaching devil invasion to test his strength. As the devil army neared the Boundary Gate, Gu Yuanqing prepared to fight while Ning Xuxuan warned him to beware of both the devils and the Primordial Divine Sect.

• Ning Xuxuan escorted Gu Yuanqing to a courtyard, where Gu Yuanqing reunited with Lu Zeyu and discussed the devil invasion and the fall of the Ling Yuan Realm.

The battle began with the Guiji Forbidden Land's charge, while Mu Tianheng and Demon Lord Ming Shang tested each other at the front and Gu Yuanqing guarded Immeasurable Mountain.

• Gu Yuanqing reached his defensive position, sensed Mu Tianheng, Lei Fuyue, and Li Lingyun, then concealed his aura by merging it with the Great Dao.
• The Devil Race army approached, and Mu Tianheng rallied the defenders before the nine forbidden grounds formed their defenses.

• Mu Tianheng appeared with power approaching the Demigod Realm, and Demon Lord Ming Shang welcomed the confrontation.

Gu Yuanqing fought off the Devil Race’s assault and captured the avatar of Ye Xueyin, while noticing that devil blood energy was mysteriously disappearing. He and Ning Xuxuan suspected the Primordial Divine Sect was collecting it to power the Boundary Gate, leaving the sect’s true strength and motives in question.

• Mu Tianheng told Lei Fuyue that they would exploit the coming battle to eliminate threats inside and outside the Primordial Divine Sect, while Lei Fuyue warned that Gu Yuanqing’s avatar would be difficult to deal with.
• Gu Yuanqing noticed the Devil Race was sacrificing Devil Beasts and sensed that the Primordial Divine Sect had prepared measures of its own, while Ning Xuxuan decided the Hidden Sun Alliance would pursue the Boundary Gate despite the risks.
• The Devil Race activated an altar powered by blood energy and resentment, weakened the Eight Desolations Demon Suppressing Great Formation, and forced the forbidden grounds to retreat as devils and Devil Beasts attacked.

As the battle converged on the Boundary Gate, Gu Yuanqing’s avatar grew stronger by refining devils into vital essence, unaware that a great demon was waiting nearby for a chance to strike.

Gu Yuanqing harvested devils and Devil Beasts to strengthen his divine soul, escaped an ambush by two Chaos Heaven Deathless Great Demons, and continued evading them while the battle around the Guiji Forbidden Land intensified. As the Devil Master and Mu Tianheng each pursued their own plans for the Boundary Gate, another demon trap pinned Gu Yuanqing in place, forcing him to prepare to act with his true body.
