After subduing the Burning Heaven Beast King, Nie Yun tested his expanded Storage World and began devouring the World Hearts of the Myriad Realms Cave Heaven to raise his strength. Having consumed all eight regions, he left the cave heaven in ruins, with his power just short of the late stage of the Emperor Realm.
