Xihe unleashed a tidal origin law attack across the Central Continent after Hou Yi killed her nine Golden Crow sons, devastating the land and swallowing many Witch Clan warriors. Chiyou saved the Nine Phoenixes tribe and urged Nine Phoenixes to join the Spirit Vine Dao, while Nine Phoenixes waited for the Ancestral Witches to respond.

• Lin Tian’s Chaos Fierce Beast body crossed the Central Continent toward Great Wilderness Pass while sensing Xihe’s tidal origin and absorbing traces of its power.

Lin Tian reached Great Wilderness Mountain as Xihe’s tidal Great Dao power threatened to expose a potential path for the Demon Race to rise and draw the attention of powerful outsiders.

• Xihe’s gaze struck toward Houtu, and the Netherworld Underworld appeared beneath Houtu while her Forty-Ninefold Reincarnation emerged above her.

• A heartbeat sounded in Di Jun’s sea of consciousness, and the Great Dao System offered to activate and send him into the Primordial World for trials.

Di Jun realized that the Great Dao System notification in his consciousness came from Vine Dao Venerable Lin Tian and was another attempt to recruit him into the Spirit Vine School. As he flew toward Great Wilderness Pass with Eastern Emperor Taiyi, he remembered Xihe’s death but continued weighing his choices.

• Di Jun was stunned when a system notification revealed countless parallel histories of the Primordial World for him to choose from.
• Di Jun noticed that Eastern Emperor Taiyi had not reacted to the notification and remained unaware that Xihe had fallen to Houtu on the Central Continent.
• Di Jun suppressed his grief and fury over Xihe’s death and reasoned that only the Vine Dao Venerable or upper-realm Chaos Demon Gods could have sent the notification.
• Di Jun concluded that Lin Tian was using the system to recruit him into the Spirit Vine School and warn him of the danger awaiting him if he refused.

After Xihe’s apparent death, Di Jun recognized that the Demon Race could not safely invade the Central Continent and planned to wait at the Great Wilderness Pass. Lin Tian transformed his Chaos Fierce Beast True Body into a gigantic Great Sun Golden Crow as Di Jun and Eastern Emperor Taiyi approached.

• Di Jun concluded that Xihe’s death showed the Central Continent’s forces were far stronger than the Demon Race and considered entering the Spirit Vine Dao Lineage for a chance to survive.

Lin Tian prepared to use Great Dao Seeds to draw Di Jun and Eastern Emperor Taiyi into a trap that would strengthen his own Great Dao foundation. On Mount Sumeru, Daoist Hongjun witnessed the sudden eruption of the Demon-Witch conflict and was left astonished as the Immeasurable Calamity began.

The chapter ended with Di Jun warning Eastern Emperor Taiyi that the Demon Race could not risk both of them at once.

• Di Jun instructed Eastern Emperor Taiyi to camp before Border Mountain while he investigated the Great Wilderness Pass, setting conditions for whether the Demon Race army would advance or retreat.
• Eastern Emperor Taiyi offered to accompany Di Jun, but Di Jun refused and warned that the two brothers must never both enter danger.

• Di Jun arrived in Huayang Palace, where he saw a sleeping Jade Qilin and a Mountain and River State Map governed by the great dao’s laws.

Di Jun discovered that his new body had slaughtered the Human Race to forge the Witch-Slaying Sword and Mountain and River State Map, then feared the consequences of harming a race created by Vine Dao Venerable Lin Tian. Lin Tian used the map to open Di Jun’s Sun Great Dao and possess him, while Dao Venerable Hongjun’s Demon-Execution Edict rallied the Primordial World against the Demon Race.

• Di Jun absorbed his predecessor’s memories and learned that Red Cloud and Zhen Yuanzi had joined the Twelve Ancestral Witches against the Demon Race.

After Eastern King Duke begged for mercy and invoked Hongjun’s authority, the Vine Dao Venerable ordered the demons to attack, leaving Eastern King Duke under assault.

• Grand Pure One Laozi learned that Di Jun had destroyed the Human Race, and Nuwa promised to recreate it after they dealt with Di Jun.
• The Vine Dao Venerable assembled tens of quadrillions of demons beyond the Thirty-Three Heavens, astonishing Hongjun, Fuxi, Nuwa, the Witch Clan, and other powerful figures.
• The Vine Dao Venerable advanced on Eastern King Duke as the Three Pure Ones and the four Ancestral Witches backed away from the massive Demon Race army.
• Eastern King Duke knelt and begged the Vine Dao Venerable for mercy, then appealed to the Three Pure Ones and claimed Hongjun’s appointment protected him.
• The Vine Dao Venerable dismissed Eastern King Duke’s claim and ordered the demons to attack, and ten Demon Sages assaulted him as the Myriad Immortals Formation collapsed.

The Vine Dao Venerable trapped the Three Pure Ones and four Ancestral Witches, then fought them while plotting to kill the Ancestral Witches and weaken their formation. Just as his attack threatened to destroy them, Dao Ancestor Hongjun appeared, leaving the confrontation unresolved.

• The Vine Dao Venerable, Eastern Emperor Taiyi, and the Four Cardinal Sacred Beasts blocked the Three Pure Ones and four Ancestral Witches from leaving, and the Vine Dao Venerable demanded they answer for entering the Demon Race Lands.
• The Vine Dao Venerable let Eastern Emperor Taiyi choose opponents, and Taiyi attacked the Three Pure Ones while the Vine Dao Venerable engaged the four Ancestral Witches.
• The four Ancestral Witches used their true forms and laws against the Vine Dao Venerable, who countered their attacks with his treasures and the divine ability Reversing Yin and Yang.

• Dao Ancestor Hongjun appeared before the four Ancestral Witches and stopped the strike, prompting the Three Pure Ones to call out to their teacher.

Daoist Hongjun arrived to stop the Vine Dao Venerable from killing the Ancestral Witches, but Lin Tian refused to back down and fought him. After Lin Tian revealed that Hongjun was only his Good Corpse, Hongjun agreed to settle the matter in battle and ordered the Witch Clan to withdraw to Mount Buzhou.

• Daoist Hongjun appeared on the battlefield and told the Vine Dao Venerable that he could not kill the Ancestral Witches, but Lin Tian refused to yield.

• Lin Tian attacked Hongjun, then used the Four Zhuxian Swords against Dijiang and the other Ancestral Witches as Hongjun tried to intervene.
• Lin Tian and Hongjun exchanged attacks with their treasures, and Lin Tian revealed that his opponent was Hongjun’s Good Corpse rather than his true form.
• Hongjun agreed to fight Lin Tian and ordered the Witch Clan to withdraw to the foot of Mount Buzhou to protect innocents.

Lin Tian fought Hongjun’s Good Corpse in the Starry Sky while Eastern Emperor Taiyi and the Four Cardinal Sacred Beasts overwhelmed the Three Pure Ones. After Lin Tian’s new stellar divine ability injured Hongjun, Lin Tian stopped fighting and demanded an explanation.

• Hongjun left the Primordial Land with the Vine Dao Venerable, leaving the Three Pure Ones to face Taiyi and the Four Cardinal Sacred Beasts.
• Taiyi used his treasures to beat the Three Pure Ones into submission while Lin Tian and Hongjun’s Good Corpse began fighting in the Starry Sky.
• Lin Tian drew on the stellar power of the Starry Sky and unleashed his strongest divine ability, forcing Hongjun to defend himself with the Good Fortune Jade Disc.
• The attack shattered the void and left Hongjun coughing up golden Saint’s blood, though he said Lin Tian’s power could not defeat him.
• Lin Tian put away his treasures and asked Hongjun how he intended to give him an explanation.

The Vine Dao Venerable settled his clash with Hongjun by accepting the Five-Needle Pine, then forced the Three Pure Ones to surrender treasures before letting them leave. After the Demon Race hailed him as Heavenly Emperor and merit transformed the Demon-Summoning Banner into a Chaos Merit Supreme Treasure, Lin Tian resolved to seize Mount Buzhou and confront Zixiao Palace to claim Di Jun’s sun Great Dao.

• Hongjun gave the Vine Dao Venerable the Five-Needle Pine as settlement and asked him to spare the lives of his three disciples, which Lin Tian agreed to do.
• The Vine Dao Venerable returned to the Thirty-Three Heavens, stopped Eastern Emperor Taiyi from continuing to attack the Three Pure Ones, and told them Hongjun would not protect them.
• Lin Tian demanded a High-Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure from each of the Three Pure Ones and forced Yuanshi to surrender the All-Heavens Celebratory Cloud before they departed.
• The Vine Dao Venerable received merit from the Demon Race’s faith, and the Demon-Summoning Banner became a Chaos Merit Supreme Treasure as the demons hailed him as Heavenly Emperor.
• Lin Tian regretted that he had not claimed Di Jun’s sun Great Dao and decided to take Mount Buzhou and confront Zixiao Palace.

Lin Tian realized that possessing Di Jun alone would not give him full mastery of the sun Great Dao, so he sent his Luo Hou law true body to intervene in another plane’s history. He instructed Luo Hou to trigger Eastern Emperor Taiyi’s Great Dao System and unite Taiyi and Di Jun in pursuing the Great Dao.

• Lin Tian’s Brain System required him to reach one hundred percent mastery of the sun Great Dao within ten thousand years.
• Lin Tian concluded that Di Jun and Eastern Emperor Taiyi held complementary portions of the sun Great Dao, and contacted his original self across planes.
• Lin Tian’s original self summoned Devil Ancestor Luo Hou’s law true body and ordered him to enter the Dao-Demon Calamity in Great Wilderness Pass.
• Lin Tian instructed Luo Hou to trigger Eastern Emperor Taiyi’s Great Dao System and join forces with the Chaos Fierce Beast true body so Taiyi and Di Jun could attain the Great Dao together.
• Lin Tian gave Luo Hou a fragment of his true spirit, and Luo Hou vanished into the void toward Great Wilderness Pass.
