Mu Chen proved able to absorb the Immortal Great Emperor’s Legacy and stayed behind to cultivate, while the corpse seemed to smile after the others left.

• Hun Tiandi proposed that Mu Chen reach Saint Grade and inherit the remaining Primal Celestial Bodies within five years, warning that the Heavenly Evil God might recover ahead of schedule.

Amon’s hidden tampering with Immortal Great Emperor’s spiritual energy continued while Mu Chen began absorbing it, unaware that Amon’s Spirit Worms had already processed it. In Sword Domain, Amon surveyed the colossal array he had secretly assembled across the entire Great Thousand World and Demon Domain, seeking a way to grow stronger without being bound by the Battle Through the Heavens Universe.

• Amon left an avatar inside Immortal Great Emperor’s body to erode its spiritual energy faster than Mu Chen could refine it.
• Mu Chen used his two avatars to help bear the power flowing from Immortal Great Emperor’s remains and settled into a long absorption process.
• In Sword Domain, Amon saw that the Spirit-Devouring Life-Extinguishing Arrays formed a connected super-array spanning the Great Thousand World and Demon Domain.

As the survivors confronted Hun Tiandi, the True Dragon Emperor offered the remains of deceased Divine Beasts to help him prepare for the coming battle.
