• An enormous rift opened in the void, and black Demons from Beyond the Heavens emerged as Chu Mo recognized them as shadow avatars of Supreme Heaven cultivators led by Realm Lord Miao Xuan.

Chu Mo fought Realm Lord Miao Xuan during the Demons from Beyond the Heavens’ assault on Cangyue City, overpowering him with the Square Seal and Jade Ring.

• Chu Mo told Heavenly Pivot that the cluster of worlds belonged to Supreme Heaven and ordered him to follow Chu Mo’s lead rather than send word to Fuli immediately.
• Chu Mo and Cangyue watched the demons retreat into the Abyss rift, leaving Cangyue City victorious but devastated, and she said the domain’s three Sacred Venerables might end the Demon Calamity.
• Cangyue suggested the Sacred Venerables might appoint Chu Mo a city lord, but Chu Mo hinted that he already had a position in mind.
• A year later, Chu Mo emerged from the Perched Cloud Grotto-Heaven, confident that his preparations were complete and that he could undergo the six tribulations.
• Chu Mo faced the Beast Tribulation in the World Sea, then summoned his nascent Dao fruit and called the remaining tribulations to come at him together.

Chu Mo fought the dragon, beast, and weapon tribulations by wielding his Two Forms Sword and the Netherworld Court’s bonded treasures. He subdued two powerful true dragons with the Netherworld’s laws and turned the Life-and-Death Disk toward the last one.

• Chu Mo summoned countless human figures and used the Two Forms Sword to kill Ao Ling, then swept through the beast shadows.
• Three near-seventh-realm true dragons broke through the human figures, and Chu Mo called the Netherworld Court and reincarnation to his hands as the Nether Soul Banner and Life-and-Death Disk.

• Chu Mo aimed the Life-and-Death Disk at the remaining Jade-Scaled Dragon and sent out a beam of black-and-white light.

• A faint speck of light appeared in the otherwise empty Emptiness Tribulation.

Chu Mo overcame the Emptiness, Declining Heart, and Body and Spirit Tribulations, leaving only the Past Illusion Ordeal before he could reach Mahayana. He returned to the Perched Cloud Grotto-Heaven to prepare, then Heavenly Pivot arrived with news from the Sacred Domain.

• Chu Mo restored his body and spirit inside the Emptiness Tribulation, escaped by anchoring himself to an other-self aspect, and overcame the tribulation.
• Chu Mo resisted the Declining Heart Tribulation and endured the Body and Spirit Tribulation until both withdrew, raising his level to 95.

• Chu Mo noted that Zhaohua's Qi Refiners had helped him overcome the tribulations, then reached his consciousness toward the World Cluster.
• Heavenly Pivot entered Chu Mo's hall in Cangyue City to report that someone from the Sacred Domain had arrived, but stopped when he sensed Chu Mo's increased strength.

• Heavenly Pivot told Chu Mo that Tianjun, an envoy of the Sacred Domain, had come because Chu Mo killed a Leader-Class Demon.

• Chu Mo found the Lihui True Realm under attack and entered it to ask what year it was.
• Dao Lord Lihui prepared to sacrifice himself as the Scale Dragon Dao Lord threatened to destroy the True Realm.
• Chu Mo appeared and subdued the dragon with his overwhelming pressure, saving Lihui.

• Chu Mo called out a hidden observer, who introduced himself as Taiyi Chengyuan of the Tribulation Deliverance Dao, while Chu Mo recognized his title as Tai Zhen Miaoyuan.

• During the journey, Li Hui praised the revered Tai Zhen Miaoyuan and described how his methods had strengthened the human race, while Tai Zhen listened without correcting him.
• Tai Zhen led Chu Mo and Li Hui above an empty stretch of sea, where Chu Mo sensed a vast, hidden presence.

• Tai Shao revealed that she had infiltrated the southeastern region, while Tai Zhen proposed testing Chu Mo and suggested he might come from another Heavenly Domain.
• Chu Mo sensed that Tai Zhen and Tai Shao were speaking about him, then reflected that the Primordial Beginning era was barren.

Chu Mo learned that the Human Race’s ancient persecution began after someone declared, “I am Heaven’s will,” and found that the Tribulation Deliverance Dao’s reputation for honest dealing had been squandered by its founders. Tai Zhen invited him to join a raid on a wealthy Dragonkind branch in the Scale Abyss Sea Region, where Chu Mo recognized a chance to confront the Dragon Emperor who had struck him with lightning.

• Chu Mo recalled that the Human Race had once lived peacefully among the Hundred Clans until someone claimed to be Heaven’s will, turning the races against humanity.

• Chu Mo learned that Tribulation Deliverance Patriarch’s Myriad Connections Return to the Treasury could seize an opponent’s treasures and make their death certain, then Tai Zhen signaled the group to begin the raid.
• Tai Chen attacked Ao Cang, who raised the region’s restrictive seals and sent a message seeking reinforcements, while Tai Zhen urged his brother to fight.
• Chu Mo and the Tribulation Deliverance Disciples headed for the Dragon Palace as Tai Shao moved to block reinforcements and deal with the Dragon Empress.
• Chu Mo used his black-and-white sword to cleave three Sixth Realm Dragon Kings in half, but they began to regenerate.
• More True Dragons attacked Chu Mo, led by a level ninety-five Purple-Scaled True Dragon, and Chu Mo wondered whether they had undergone the Mahayana tribulation.

Chu Mo and the Tribulation Deliverance Disciples raided the Dragon Palace treasury, where Chu Mo defeated a White Dragon wielding an early version of the Hung Abyss Pearls and captured her. Meanwhile, the reigning Dragon Empress remained in seclusion as her Heart Demon persuaded her to overthrow Ao Cang and claim the Scale Abyss Sea Region.

• Chu Mo trapped four True Dragons in the Netherworld Court while the Tribulation Deliverance Disciples held off the others, and Xu Yun led him toward the treasury.
• Xu Yun used a key supplied by Tai Zhen to open the treasury, where the two began collecting its treasures.
• A White Dragon appeared and attacked them with an Azure Orb that split into thirty-three orbs, while the reigning Dragon Empress resisted the urge to leave seclusion and listened to her Heart Demon urge her to replace Ao Cang.
• Chu Mo subdued the White Dragon, recognized her Azure Orb as a prototype of the Hung Abyss Pearls, and drew her into the Nether Soul Banner.

Chu Mo and the Tribulation Deliverance Dao disciples escaped the Dragon Palace with its treasury’s riches, while Tai Zhen invited Chu Mo to join a dangerous coming opportunity. After learning that Tai Shao had planted a heart demon in the Dragon Empress, Chu Mo considered the looming transformation of the Tribulation Deliverance Patriarch and the local treasures he could bring back.

• Xu Yun and Chu Mo emptied the Dragon Palace treasury, then fled as the Dragon Kings attacked and the Tribulation Deliverance disciples scattered using illusory doubles.

• Chu Mo met Tai Zhen at Cloudsea Hanging Mountain, where Tai Zhen praised their gains and hinted at a dangerous opportunity; Chu Mo agreed he had the courage to take part.
• Tai Shao told Tai Zhen she could not infiltrate Lin Hei’s chaotic consciousness and revealed she had planted a heart demon in the Dragon Empress.
• Chu Mo returned to his courtyard and suspected the opportunity involved the Tribulation Deliverance Patriarch becoming a symbol, then considered bringing the White Dragon and Hung Abyss Pearls back as local specialties.

Chu Mo agreed to join Tai Zhen’s plan to kill the Dragon Emperor, and the Tribulation Deliverance Dao and Heaven’s Will Sect moved against the Southern Region. At the same time, Ao Ling launched a rebellion against his father, Ao Yu, in the dragon palace.

• Chu Mo discussed his failed attempt to assimilate White Dragon with Tai Zhen, who invited him to help kill a Dragon Emperor.
• Chu Mo accepted the plan and asked whether the Tribulation Deliverance Patriarch would join, while privately wondering why he had never seen the patriarch or the Great Evolution figure.

• In the Southern Sea, Ao Ling revealed his plan to seize the throne from his father, Ao Yu, and ordered his faction to attack.
• Ao Ling hurled a precious pearl at Ao Yu, who caught it and condemned his son's rebellion.

Ao Ling’s rebellion against Ao Yu escalated into a battle that engulfed the Southern Region, while Tai Zhen and his allies trapped the Dragon Emperors in a Cloud Sea Grand Array borrowed from the future. The array weakened Ao Yu and Ao Cang as a blood sea surged toward them.

• Ao Ling summoned the Cloudsea Hanging Mountain to crush the Dragon Palace, and Tai Zhen appeared to support him as Ao Yu accused his son of colluding with humans.

• Tai Zhen divided the battlefield and Cen Xi engaged the Dragon Empress, while a blood sea surged toward Ao Yu and Ao Cang as the array weakened them.

The Dragon Ancestor’s seat changed hands as battles in the Southern and Eastern Seas brought down the Dragon Emperors and the Dragon Ancestor himself. Chu Mo faced a world-ending flood of hatred and seawater, invoking Myriad Selves as his Netherworld domain began to crack.

• Tai Chen used his blood sea to kill Ao Yu, while Ao Cang survived under the protection of his supreme treasure.
• Tai Zhen reached for Ao Yu’s Dao Fruit, but the Dragon Ancestor’s consciousness intervened until Cen Xi invoked Sun and Moon in Splendor; Tai Zhen then turned the Dao Fruit into a counterfeit.
• The Eastern Sea collapsed after the Eastern Sea Dragon Empress died, and Chu Mo sensed [Karma] appear as [All-Existence] vanished.
• Chu Mo realized Tribulation Deliverance Patriarch had taken the Dragon Ancestor’s Heavenly Seat, then witnessed the Dragon Ancestor fall as the laws and Daos of heaven and earth changed.
• A World-Ending Tribulation descended on Chu Mo, who used the Nether Soul Banner and Myriad Selves to resist as the Netherworld domain fractured.
