After refusing Bu Yuan’s request to join the fight against the Central Province, Fang Qianyuan stayed in camp to protect the Azure Cloud Eight Elites. When they recovered and wanted to return to the battlefield, Zhou Rushan came to discuss it with him.

• Fang Qianyuan met with Bu Yuan, who apologized for their past conflict and asked him to lead troops or hunt enemy experts behind the lines.

When Zhao Bai proposed attacking the Coalition Army’s headquarters, Fang Qianyuan cautiously encouraged the idea, and Zhao Bai urged the group to proceed even without the sect’s approval.

• Fang Qianyuan set three rules for Zhou Rushan and the others: stay together, keep him informed, and call for help when danger arose; Zhou Rushan agreed.

At a banquet outside Tower City, Yang Jingwei welcomed the Eastern Sea experts and coordinated their roles in the coming battle.

The chapter ended as Human Rank Spirit Tamers on both sides assembled with spirit creatures and began attacking one another.

• Chi Gongming explained that the Flying Immortal Records’ inheritance included a star map, a Demon God Nine Transformations cultivation method, and an Earthly Baleful Silver Extreme Pill, though nearly all the pills were believed to be gone.

Fang Qianyuan neutralized Chi Gongming’s recurring venom with the Cosmic Serpent and recognized that it was sustained by power from the same Time Dao lineage as Reverse Time Transformation. Suspecting Chi Gongming or his backer held related secrets, Fang Qianyuan attacked him, and Chi Gongming fled toward the Spirit Taming Sect for help.

• Fang and Little White flew above enemy formations and reached the main camp, where a vast origin energy gang wall protected the encampment.

Fang Qianyuan charged alone into the Central Province Coalition Army’s main formation, forcing Bu Yuan to weigh the danger of rescuing him against the army’s position. Surrounded by Yang Jingwei, Lian Yi, Chi Gongming, and other Earth Rank experts, Fang Qianyuan decided to fight his way through and make himself the center of the battle.

• Bu Yuan learned that Fang Qianyuan had charged deep into the enemy’s main formation, where the Central Province Coalition Army’s strongest experts and defenses were concentrated.

• Yang Jingwei ordered his army to hold off the Southern Wilds Allied Army and keep the Eight Geniuses pinned down while he and the Eastern Sea cultivators moved to kill Fang Qianyuan.
• Fang Qianyuan realized his reckless advance could draw Bu Yuan and the Eight Geniuses into danger, then resolved to dictate the battle through his own strength.
• Yang Jingwei, Lian Yi, and Chi Gongming confronted Fang Qianyuan alongside several Earth Rank experts, and Fang Qianyuan prepared to unleash another massacre.
