Ye Han fled the pursuing Primordial Ancient Beast after emerging from the Three Heavens, but resolved to find a chance to kill it.

• The Primordial Ancient Beast unleashed rings of Black-Gray Bloodlight Storm as it accelerated after Ye Han.

Ye Han escaped the Primordial Ancient Beast’s devouring attack and countered with the Twelve Qing Xuan Divine Swords. Their restriction-breaking sword intent pierced the beast’s claw, leaving it injured and alarmed as the fight continued.

• The Primordial Ancient Beast attacked Ye Han with a storm of devouring force, but Ye Han used the Vajra Fire God Art and Escaping Light God cultivation technique to escape.

• The sword-ray pierced through the beast’s claw with restriction-breaking power, causing it to scream in pain and sense danger.

• The Primordial Ancient Beast decided to retreat and dove toward the seabed.
• Ye Han appeared before the fleeing beast and shouted, “Trying to run? Too late!!”

Ye Han battered the fleeing Primordial Ancient Beast with his staff techniques, while the Ghost Skull Mirror captured its escaping soul and Ye Han absorbed its body into the purple cauldron space. Just as he celebrated the chance to refine eighth-rank Demon-Blood Spirit Pills, Zhang Qingshan urgently warned him to run.

• Ye Han used purple runes to shrink and absorb the Primordial Ancient Beast's body into the purple cauldron space.
• Ye Han put away the Ghost Skull Mirror and heard Zhang Qingshan shout, “Junior Brother Ye!! Run!!”

After Zhang Qingshan warned him to flee, Ye Han narrowly escaped a devastating attack from a powerful golden spell that froze space and restrained his Thunder Escape Technique. He reappeared a hundred li away, badly shaken and still unaware of who was ambushing him.

• Zhang Qingshan urgently told Ye Han to flee, and Ye Han trusted him and immediately used the Thunder Escape Technique to escape.
• A huge golden ring of runes descended and sealed a vast area, freezing the sea and immobilizing everything inside.
• Ye Han found himself trapped within the golden spell, and a giant golden maw formed and lunged at him.
• The spell restrained Ye Han's Thunder Escape Technique, so he changed his spirit root to the light attribute and used the Light-Escape Technique to evade the maw.
• Ye Han emerged a hundred li away, pale and shaken, and wondered who had attacked him with such overwhelming power.

Ye Han recognized that the Mysterious Woman from the Small Pagoda had pursued him and gained the Tyrant Divine Emperor’s power. He escaped her devastating attack through a nearby teleportation array, but she prepared to track him down.

• Ye Han recognized the aura in the golden ring as belonging to the Mysterious Woman sealed inside the Small Pagoda and realized she had deceived him into freeing her.
• The Mysterious Woman attacked Ye Han with a gigantic golden hand, wielding space and time laws and the Tyrant Divine Emperor’s power.
• Ye Han deduced that the Mysterious Woman had taken the Tyrant Divine Emperor’s Water Spirit Coffin and had used him to break her seal by killing the Blood-Red Giant Dragon.
• Ye Han used a Messaging Talisman and Spatial Ripples to escape through a nearby teleportation array just before the golden hand struck.
• The Mysterious Woman cursed as Ye Han vanished, then used a Formation Disk to begin tracking him.

• Ye Han fled the trench but could not sense another usable Teleportation Array nearby, while the Mysterious Woman’s aura drew closer.
• Ye Han decided he had no choice but to fight and pulled a rune-lit bead from his Storage Bag.

Ye Han used the Great Spatial Spirit Pearl to escape the Mysterious Woman, but her attack and the teleportation left him injured in a dangerous, unfamiliar region of the Heavenly Spirit Realm. As he pondered the woman’s identity and his depleted reserves, he detected two familiar auras.

• Ye Han emerged from a spatial passage and crashed through mountains and trees before rising from a crater.
• Ye Han recalled that he had activated the Great Spatial Spirit Pearl to escape the Mysterious Woman after exhausting much of his strength fighting the Primordial Ancient Beast.
• Ye Han assessed his injuries and depleted Purple Cauldron, and estimated that the teleportation had carried him at least ten million li from his previous location.
• Ye Han wondered whether the Mysterious Woman was Xue Chan and what connected her to the Tyrant Divine Emperor, General Lu, and the Tailless Immortal Body Lineage.
• Ye Han sensed two familiar auras.

Ye Han encountered Venerable Spiritwater and Venerable Spiritfire in the Wild Ancient Land, where they told him that Ancient Human Race cultivators had opened the Ancient Times God Tomb.

• Venerable Spiritwater and Venerable Spiritfire unleashed a combined ice-and-fire attack that trapped Ye Han in ice and flaming restraints.
• Venerable Spiritwater and Venerable Spiritfire revealed their plan to possess Ye Han and take his peerless bloodline, while Ye Han recognized their betrayal.

• Venerable Spiritwater trapped Ye Han with an icy monster and frost spell while Venerable Spiritfire bound him with flames and launched a flaming spear.

• As Ye Han prepared to loot the two captives, he sensed a Primordial Ancient Beast.

Ye Han discovered that the Feifei Insect egg had eaten much of the Primordial Ancient Beast's corpse and begun hatching, then prepared to refine the remains into pills. As he faced another demon beast attack in the Purple River Land, a second beast swooped down from the sky.

• Ye Han found that the Feifei Insect egg had devoured more than half of the Primordial Ancient Beast's body and was beginning to hatch.

• Another enormous demon beast descended from the sky as Ye Han recalled that the region was the Purple River Land.

Ye Han rested inside the Qing Xuan Divine Palace after defeating Venerable Spiritwater and Venerable Spiritfire and surviving an attack by demon beasts. He began refining the Purple Dawn Strange Flame and replenished his supplies while preparing for further dangers in the Purple River Land and a future trip to the Ancient Times God Tomb.

• Ye Han planned to prepare pills and Demon-Blood Spirit Pills for his journey to the Ancient Times God Tomb.

After recovering from his injuries, Ye Han headed to Zichuan Free City to learn more about the rumored Ancient Times God Tomb and the cultivators who might have ascended from the Earth Realm. He arrived with Saint As and the others, intending to gather reliable information and handle some matters for them.

• Ye Han worried that cultivators from the Earth Realm, possibly including people from the Azure Profound Sect, might be connected to the Ancient Times God Tomb, and he resolved to seek them out.

• Ye Han and Saint As, Zhang Qingshan, the Immortal-Thief Outsider Race member, and Bai Daozi entered Zichuan Free City to seek more reliable information and address matters concerning the group.

Ye Han studied the God-Sealing Art in Zichuan Free City while Saint As gathered news about the Ancient Times God Tomb. After learning the tomb had appeared in the Wild Ancient Land and might contain Han Yuwan and the other Earth Realm cultivators, Ye Han prepared to go there and began wondering about Saint As’s origins.
