Meanwhile, inside Perched Cloud Grotto-Heaven.
Chu Mo stood in the Forbidden Land, fourteen jade coffins neatly arrayed before him. Inside each lay an Eclosion cultivator who was still alive.
Suddenly, his expression shifted slightly.
A voice transmission from the Dusty Illusionary Cosmos reached his ears.
Recalling what Tai Zhen Miaoyuan had told him, anticipation flashed in Chu Mo's eyes. He turned to the Other-Self Aspects beside him and smiled faintly.
"It's about time. Get ready to act."
With that, he waved his hand. The fourteen jade coffins abruptly shuddered, then turned into streaks of light that flew into his sleeve and vanished.
The Other-Self Aspects moved at his thought, swiftly removing every restrictive seal within the grotto-heaven and releasing its fortune to merge with heaven and earth.

On the battlefield, the Dragon Empress, Qingxiao, and Qingming all sensed the change, their hearts tightening.
But before they could react, a formless Pillar of Fate used Perched Cloud Grotto-Heaven and Qingxu as conduits and thundered into the vacancy in the Heavenly Dao between Zhaohua's heaven and earth. Heaven and earth roared, and the myriad Daos trembled as one.
Every living being in the Radiant Splendor Heaven Domain, whether cultivator or mortal, beast, bird, or spirit creature, felt a vast will descending at that moment.
Destiny descended, fortune arose, and the Heavenly Dao manifested.
"What?!"
On the battlefield, Clear Sky Great Dao Venerable's expression changed violently. He drove back the Hongming Pearl with a blow from his cauldron, then turned toward the depths of the Great Void.
Countless threads of destiny spiraled up
