Xu Taiping and his companions entered the Yaochi Sacred Land and reached the Jade Gate, where he prepared to use a hidden method to secure divine protection. Their plans were interrupted when the Five Xu of Ghost Mansion appeared, identified by Mo Qingzhu as wanted heretical cultivators.

• Xu Taiping and his companions opened the stone gate and were swept through the Void after the Heaven-Hunting Great Sage held back the Blight Immortal.
• Xu Taiping gathered Qu Chao Ci, Bai Yue, and Mo Qingzhu onto Xiaohei, who carried them safely to the Jade Gate at the first level of the Yaochi Sacred Land.
• Xu Taiping warned that they could not linger near the gate and asked Mo Qingzhu to conceal their forms with the Human Swine Talisman.
• Xu Taiping explained that reciting the Queen Mother of the West's Precious Invocation and lighting the Three Powers Lamps could invoke Taihuang Huangcengtian's protection.
• Five powerful cultivators crashed down behind the group, and Mo Qingzhu recognized them as the Five Xu of Ghost Mansion, wanted heretics of the Chaos Deadlands.

Xu Taiping and his companions encountered the Five Xu of Ghost Mansion at the Jade Gate, where a brief clash revealed the group’s strength and their interest in the Yaochi Sacred Land’s treasures. The Five Xu moved on after warning that they might try to kill Xu Taiping next time, and Yan Jiu began breaking the gate’s restrictions.

• Qu Chao Ci’s voice transmission was overheard by Zhou Xuan, and Huijue told Xu Taiping’s group that the Five Xu had come for spirit fruits and pills rather than to kill.
• Yan Jiu suddenly punched at Xu Taiping, who drew the Water-Cutting Blade and forced him to halt; Ye Yuluo dissipated Xu Taiping’s killing intent with a breeze.
• Qu Chao Ci identified the Five Xu as Zhou Xuan, Huijue, Yan Jiu, Youcha, and Ye Yuluo, and warned that they had destroyed dozens of forces in the Chaos Death Domain.
• Daoist Yunxuan explained that the Five Xu had spared them because killing them would cost too much, then threatened to try killing them at their next meeting.
• Xu Taiping answered Daoist Yunxuan’s threat without backing down, and Yan Jiu punched the gray mist at the Jade Gate to break its restrictions.

Xu Taiping and his companions broke through the Jade Gate by summoning the Three Powers Lamp, which granted them three powerful but single-use Divine Intents. They entered the first level of the Yaochi Sacred Land to search briefly for Qu Chao Ci’s Profound Purity Cauldron, where they immediately encountered fleeing, badly wounded cultivators.

• Yan Jiu smashed open the Jade Gate's restrictions, and Xu Taiping had Qu Chao Ci recite the Precious Invocation while he sensed the Three Powers Lamp.
• The three lamps bestowed the Divine Intents Tracing Light, Sumeru into a Mustard Seed, and Withered Wood Meets Spring; Xu Taiping warned that using them would expose their lamps to attacks that could severely injure or kill the group.
• Xu Taiping told the others to move quickly through the dangerous Yaochi Sacred Land, and Qu Chao Ci asked to search the first level for the Profound Purity Cauldron.
• Xu Taiping led the group through the Jade Gate and into the Gray Mist as Mo Qingzhu used the Human Swine Talisman to conceal their auras.
• Several bloodied cultivators plunged into the Gray Mist, screaming that the Blightbones had eaten the others alive.

Xu Taiping and his companions entered the Gray Mist and learned that the World-Deceiving Divine Intent still concealed them from the first layer’s Blightbones. They discovered a wounded Xiahou Clan disciple who revealed that Xiahou You and Xiahou Qingyuan were trapped on the third layer, leaving Xu Taiping to decide how to help them.

• Mo Qingzhu tried to pull a wounded cultivator away from the Gray Mist, but Qu Chao Ci stopped him, and Blightbones dragged the cultivators inside away to devour them.
• Xu Taiping led the group out of the Gray Mist after concluding their World-Deceiving Divine Intent still worked against the first-layer Blightbones.
• Bai Yue approached a half-devoured cultivator to end his suffering, but Xu Taiping stopped him after learning the cultivator belonged to the Jade Balance Mountain Xiahou Clan.
• Xu Taiping introduced himself as the Dragon-Slaying Assembly’s Chief, and the cultivator recognized him as an old friend of Xiahou You from the Lower Realm.
• The Xiahou Clan disciple told Xu Taiping that Xiahou You, Xiahou Qingyuan, and their companions were trapped on the third layer with a restriction, two Blightbone-corrupted Divine Generals, and several Daoist Acolyte Blightbones.
• The disciple explained that Xiahou You’s group had sent him and five other Xiahou Clan disciples to the first layer to retrieve a treasure needed to break the restriction.

A dying Xiahou Clan cultivator gave Xu Taiping a treasure that could undo the restriction on the sacred land's third level and begged him to rescue the others. Xu Taiping's group reached Xuanyu Hall to retrieve Qu Chao Ci's Profound Purity Cauldron, but moving it stirred the Blightbones, so he planned to destroy the guardian while Bai Yue carried the cauldron out.

• The Xiahou Clan cultivator gave Xu Taiping a Jade Slip and a Qiankun Bag, then died when Bai Yue released him from his Blightbone-eroded state.
• Two powerful Daoist acolyte Blightbones consumed the cultivator's Primordial Spirit, and Xu Taiping led the group west toward Xuanyu Hall on Xiaohei's back.
• Mo Qingzhu sensed a Daoist acolyte Blightbone guarding the Profound Purity Cauldron, with at least a dozen more Blightbones lying inside the hall.
• Qu Chao Ci pushed the cauldron, stirring the guardian and the sleeping Blightbones, then stopped when Xu Taiping warned her.
• Xu Taiping told Bai Yue to try carrying the cauldron out in one go and resolved to destroy the guardian before it awakened.

Xu Taiping and Bai Yue destroyed the awakened Daoist acolyte Blightbone and its Blood Demon Eye, then fled with the great cauldron toward the second level of Yaochi Sacred Land. At the entrance, Yan Jiu of the Five Fiends of the Ghost Lodge demanded the cauldron as a toll.

• Xu Taiping and Bai Yue entered the ruined hall while Qu Chao Ci and Mo Qingzhu waited outside on Xiaohei.
• Xu Taiping built up his blade force as Bai Yue prepared to lift the great cauldron, but the Daoist acolyte Blightbone and the other Blightbones awakened sooner than expected.
• Xu Taiping slashed through the Daoist acolyte Blightbone's defenses and destroyed it, along with the Blood Demon Eye, with a ten-thousand-strike attack.
• Xu Taiping escaped the hall and ordered Xiaohei to carry the group to the entrance to the second level of Yaochi Sacred Land.
• Yan Jiu appeared before the group and demanded that they hand over the great cauldron as a toll.

Xu Taiping and his companions reached a floating bridge guarded by the Five Blights, who demanded the Profound Purity Cauldron in exchange for safe passage. When Xu Taiping refused, Zhou Xuan used Cloud-Shrouding Incense to redirect a swarm of Blightbones toward them and offered him one last chance to surrender the cauldron.

• Xu Taiping learned from Qu Chao Ci that the Five Blights were controlling the bridge across the Weak Water and extorting travelers.
• Yan Jiu summoned Han Dan, whose concealed presence revealed that the Five Blights could hide their auras from the Blightbones.
• The other three members of the Five Blights returned as a swarm of Blightbones approached, and Zhou Xuan recognized the Profound Purity Cauldron Bai Yue carried.
• Zhou Xuan offered to let the group cross if they handed over the cauldron, but Xu Taiping refused.
• Han Dan lit Cloud-Shrouding Incense, causing the Blightbones to lose sight of the Five Blights and attack Xu Taiping's group instead.
• Zhou Xuan demanded the cauldron once more as the Blightbones closed in.

Xu Taiping led Qu Chao Ci, Mo Qingzhu, and Bai Yue toward the Weak Water Heavenly River, revealing his plan to cross it using the lotuses. After his Sea-Swallowing Seal dispersed the river’s vapor, the Five Blights recognized the Buddhist technique but doubted he could get past the nine waterfalls.

• Xu Taiping told Qu Chao Ci and the others to follow him into the Weak Water Heavenly River and land on lotuses suited to their Spirit Bone’s Five Elements Power.
• Xu Taiping unleashed Nine Thousand Blades, blasting back the charging Blightbones and forcing the two Daoist Child Blightbones away.
• More Blightbones converged, so Xu Taiping leaped toward the river with Qu Chao Ci, Mo Qingzhu, and Bai Yue close behind.
• Xu Taiping used the Sea-Swallowing Seal to disperse the Weak Water vapor, and the group landed on the river’s lotuses.
• Zhou Xuan and the other Five Blights identified Xu Taiping’s technique but argued that he could not pass the nine Weak Water waterfalls.

Xu Taiping and his companions crossed the Weak Water Heavenly River aboard a boat formed from the five elements qi in its lotuses, while Zhou Xuan and the Five Blights were forced ashore to fight the Blightbones. As the boat carried them toward the second level of the Yaochi Sacred Land, Xu Taiping warned his companions to use the Xin Metal power in their Five Elements Talisman Seeds against the Thunder General's formation.

• Xu Taiping and his companions' lotuses released pure five elements qi that fused into a boat on the Weak Water Heavenly River.
• The nine waterfalls stopped flowing, and Zhou Xuan and the others abandoned the sinking Floating Bridge and returned to shore.
• After the Cloud-Shrouding Incense burned out, Zhou Xuan transformed into a Dharma Aspect and led the Five Blights in battling the Blightbones.
• Xu Taiping and his companions' boat was drawn into a whirlpool carrying them toward the second level of the Yaochi Sacred Land.
• Lotus-patterned Five Elements Talisman Seeds appeared before Xu Taiping, Qu Chao Ci, Bai Yue, and Mo Qingzhu, and Xu Taiping told them to activate their Xin Metal power upon entry.

Xu Taiping guided his companions through the Thunder Pool and toward the Teleportation Array leading to the sacred land’s Third Layer. As Mo Qingzhu worked to activate it, Xu Taiping found a Thunder-Pattern Jujube tree bearing nine fruits, which Qu Chao Ci identified as tribulation-averting Nine Tribulations Fruits.

• Xu Taiping explained that the Star Map would help Mo Qingzhu repair the Teleportation Array and reach the foot of the Ziwei Jade Pillar.
• The thunderclouds dispersed, revealing seven other cloud platforms and the Ziwei Jade Pillar, which was coiled by a giant Chi Dragon corpse.
• Mo Qingzhu recognized how to activate the array, and Xu Taiping sent Xiaohei to carry him across the cloud platform.
• Xu Taiping told Qu Chao Ci that he had entered an extrapolated Yaochi Sacred Land thirty-six times through Lotus Three Thousand Realms, though the real sacred land differed in many ways.
• Qu Chao Ci recognized the central jujube tree as a Thunder-Pattern Jujube, and she and Bai Yue explained that its fruits were Nine Tribulations Fruits that could help avert tribulations.
• Xu Taiping confirmed that the tree bore nine fruits and summoned the Rusty Lion Sword rather than risk picking them by hand.

Xu Taiping and his companions gathered the Nine Thunder-Pattern Jujubes, but Supreme Venerable Xuanwei of Three Corpses Cave threatened them and pinned them down with mountain spirit power. As the thunder pool began to reform, Xuanwei tried to break through the restrictions between Cloud Platforms, while Xu Taiping’s companions neared the formation node that could take them to the Third Layer of Yaochi Sacred Land.

• Xu Taiping collected all the Nine Thunder-Pattern Jujubes as Qu Chao Ci and Bai Yue reached the center of the Cloud Platform.
• Supreme Venerable Xuanwei appeared as a phantom, demanded the jujubes, and used mountain spirit power to immobilize Xu Taiping, Qu Chao Ci, and Bai Yue.
• Qu Chao Ci told Xu Taiping that Xuanwei’s strength rivaled the Heaven-Hunting Great Sage, while Xu Taiping reasoned that Xuanwei did not know the Cloud Platform was a Grand Teleportation Array.
• As thunderclouds gathered again, Mo Qingzhu and Xiaohei continued toward the last formation node while Xuanwei intensified the pressure on the others.
• Xuanwei manifested his Dharma Aspect on the neighboring Cloud Platform and leaped toward them, but the restrictions struck him back and shattered many Golden Runes.

Xu Taiping and his companions escaped Supreme Venerable Xuanwei by activating the Grand Teleportation Array, then shared out the Thunder-Pattern Jujubes. Their respite ended when Luo Hong and Xu San of Three Corpses Cave appeared and attacked Qu Chao Ci.

• Xu Taiping and his companions teleported away just as Supreme Venerable Xuanwei leaped at them, leaving him to be struck by the thunderstorm.
• The group discussed their conflict with Supreme Venerable Xuanwei and divided the Thunder-Pattern Jujubes among themselves.
• Supreme Venerable Xuanwei's phantom appeared above them, but it exploded as his true form battered the thunder pool's barrier.
• Xu Taiping smashed a bronze spear that was flying toward Qu Chao Ci and identified the attackers as Luo Hong and Xu San of Three Corpses Cave.

Xu Taiping examined the Ziwei Jade Pillar for a way to evade the Chi Dragon skeleton while Qu Chao Ci stalled Luo Hong and Xu San. Supreme Venerable Xuanwei used a bronze bell to shatter the cloud-platform restrictions and speed the immortal cranes toward them, leaving Qu Chao Ci to demand a sincere offer from Luo Hong.

• Xu Taiping noticed Luo Hong and Xu San approaching on an uncorrupted immortal crane skeleton and considered whether Yaochi's strongest beings might also have escaped blightbone corruption.
• Xu Taiping asked Qu Chao Ci to delay Luo Hong while he searched for a way to avoid the Chi Dragon skeleton and ascend the Ziwei Jade Pillar.
• Supreme Venerable Xuanwei's Dharma Aspect shattered under the Thunder Pool's bombardment, but he struck a bronze bell and sent sound waves that dispersed the cloud-platform restrictions and propelled the cranes forward.
• Qu Chao Ci tried to buy Xu Taiping time by discussing an alliance with Luo Hong, who demanded all their Thunder-Pattern Jujubes.
• Qu Chao Ci told Luo Hong to show sincerity, and he asked what she wanted.

Xu Taiping revealed that he had found a way up the Ziwei Jade Pillar and planned to use the approaching cultivators to help defeat the Chi Dragon skeleton. He baited the second layer’s cultivators with a Thunder-Pattern Jujube, drawing them toward the pillar as Supreme Venerable Xuanwei raged, then led Qu Chao Ci and the others toward the route he had discovered.

• Supreme Venerable Xuanwei broke free of the Thunder Pool Cloud Platform and charged toward Xu Taiping, Qu Chao Ci, Bai Yue, and Mo Qingzhu with Luo Hong and Xu San.
• Xu Taiping returned from examining the jade pillar and told Qu Chao Ci, Bai Yue, and Mo Qingzhu that he had found a way up and wanted to use the newcomers to fight the Chi Dragon skeleton.
• Xu Taiping shared Divine Soul Marks showing the Chi Dragon skeleton’s weakness and a blind spot in its perception on the Ziwei Jade Pillar.
• Xu Taiping announced that he held all the Thunder-Pattern Jujubes, then crushed one to spread its scent and draw cultivators toward the pillar.
• Supreme Venerable Xuanwei threatened the approaching cultivators, but more of them flew toward the Ziwei Jade Pillar to claim the jujubes.
• Xu Taiping told Qu Chao Ci and the others to follow him carefully, then looked up at the stars above the high platform.

Xu Taiping led Qu Chao Ci, Mo Qingzhu, and their companion up the Ziwei Jade Pillar by following its hidden footholds and exploiting North Dipper Star Speed’s Star Soul Power. As they neared the summit, Xu Taiping revealed that he had previously defeated the guardian Dian'e in the simulated Yaochi Sacred Land.

• Xu Taiping signaled the others to follow him onto the jade pillar’s hidden grooves, where Star Soul Power concealed them and helped them climb.
• After the Chi Dragon Skeleton began trembling, Xu Taiping explained that he had deliberately made a wrong step to set a trap for pursuers who copied their route.
• Venerable Xuanwei recognized the unusual footholds, then sent Luo Hong and Xu San after Xu Taiping’s party while warning that other cultivators were approaching.
• Venerable Xuanwei identified the pillar’s guardian as Dian'e, the Heavenly Ding Thunder Armor Strongman, and urged his companions to hurry.
• Halfway up the pillar, Qu Chao Ci worried that they could not defeat Dian'e, and Xu Taiping said he had beaten him before after using six chances in the simulated sacred land.

Xu Taiping led Qu Chao Ci, Bai Yue, and Mo Qingzhu into a hidden crack in the Ziwei Jade Pillar to evade the awakening Chi Dragon skeleton. From their shelter, they watched the Chi Dragon attack the cultivators below, and Xu Taiping waited to see whether the battle would leave both sides badly wounded.

• Xu Taiping warned that the Chi Dragon skeleton was about to awaken as more powerful cultivators, including Supreme Venerable Xuanwei and his companions, approached.
• Xu Taiping led the group toward a concealed crack and had them scatter instead of following his footprints to hasten the Chi Dragon's awakening.
• Xu Taiping and the others hid inside the spacious crack, where the pillar blocked the Chi Dragon skeleton's divine sense.
• The awakened Chi Dragon unleashed thunderous dragon breath, sweeping many cultivators from the pillar, while Supreme Venerable Xuanwei, Luo Hong, and Xu San blocked the attack with a bronze bell.
• Xu Taiping said the Chi Dragon would regain its peak strength within an incense stick's burn and that their chance to profit depended on whether both sides were badly wounded.

Supreme Venerable Xuanwei and the cultivators fought the Chi Dragon on the Ziwei Jade Pillar, but its power repeatedly restored its flesh and overwhelmed them. Xuanwei used his Yellow Bell to shatter the dragon’s breath and called on the others to attack, leaving them with one last chance to defeat it.

• Luo Hong and Xu San urged Supreme Venerable Xuanwei to stop climbing and fight the Chi Dragon after they could no longer sense the missing cultivators.
• Supreme Venerable Xuanwei rallied the other sects to attack, but starlight restored the Chi Dragon’s flesh and scales as it descended again.
• The Chi Dragon’s thunder spears blasted cultivators, including Venerable Mysterious Thunder, from the pillar, and a second assault killed some of them.
• Supreme Venerable Xuanwei swallowed a spirit marrow crystal, manifested his dharma aspect, and used the Yellow Bell’s sound waves to break the Chi Dragon’s breath.
• Xu San and Luo Hong charged along the sound waves and wounded the Chi Dragon, then urged the other cultivators to join their attack.

Xu Taiping and his companions watched the Chi Dragon Skeleton turn the tide against Supreme Venerable Xuanwei and the cultivators by detonating its flesh in thunderflames. As the wounded survivors struggled to claim the dragon’s inheritance, Xu Taiping’s group emerged to seize control.

• Supreme Venerable Xuanwei and the cultivators drove the wounded Chi Dragon Skeleton away, but it returned and used star soul power to lift them into the air.
• Supreme Venerable Xuanwei scattered the star soul power with his bronze bell and led the cultivators in another charge up the Ziwei Jade Pillar.
• The Chi Dragon Skeleton ignited its flesh in thunderflames, badly burning Supreme Venerable Xuanwei, Luo Hong, Xu San, and the other cultivators.
• A light gathered at the Chi Dragon Skeleton’s head, and Luo Hong recognized it as the dragon’s inheritance; Supreme Venerable Xuanwei sent Xu San to retrieve it.
• Xu Taiping’s group ambushed Xu San, and Luo Hong found a flying sword pointed between his brows.

Xu Taiping took the Dragon Pearl from the Chi Dragon Skeleton and threatened Supreme Venerable Xuanwei with Earth Flame when he tried to stop him. Xu Taiping and his companions raced toward the Jade Summit, while Xuanwei gave Luo Hong and Xu San Marsh-Drying Pills to restore their strength at a severe long-term cost.

• Xu Taiping took the Dragon Pearl from the Chi Dragon Skeleton and put it in his gourd.
• Supreme Venerable Xuanwei tried to block Xu Taiping and his companions, but retreated when Xu Taiping gathered Earth Flame at his fingertip.
• Xu Taiping, Qu Chao Ci, Bai Yue, and their companions raced toward the Jade Summit as Xuanwei regrouped with Luo Hong and Xu San.
• Supreme Venerable Xuanwei told Luo Hong and Xu San to let Qu Chao Ci's group challenge Lei E first, then offered them Marsh-Drying Pills to restore their combat power.
• Supreme Venerable Xuanwei warned that the pills would cost Luo Hong and Xu San ten years of cultivation, or steadily strip away their cultivation and combat power if they did not cultivate.

Luo Hong, Xu San, and the other cultivators pursued Xu Taiping and his companions up the Ziwei Jade Pillar, while the group struggled against the Jade Summit’s immense pressure. Xu Taiping reached the summit ahead of them and faced the rising Lei E, whose Gang Wind drove him backward.

• Luo Hong and Xu San swallowed Vermilion Pills, and Supreme Venerable Xuanwei led them up the Chi Dragon Skeleton toward the Jade Summit.
• Xu Taiping explained that killing Supreme Venerable Xuanwei would have risked provoking the other cultivators into attacking together, and he urged his companions to hurry upward.
• As immense pressure slowed the group, Bai Yue carried Mo Qingzhu, while Qu Chao Ci strengthened herself and warned Xu Taiping not to fight Lei E alone.
• Xu Taiping unleashed his Qi and Blood Power, grew hundreds of zhang tall, and raced to the Jade Summit.
• Lei E rose from his bone throne, and the Gang Wind from his movement struck Xu Taiping and forced him back several steps.

Xu Taiping revealed his true dragon divine being body to earn Heavenly General Lei E’s acceptance of a pure martial artist’s Fist Challenge. Lei E accepted and readied his Mo Dao, leaving Xu Taiping poised to fight alone.

• Xu Taiping forced his way through Lei E’s aura and grew to over three hundred zhang tall, but Lei E still judged him unworthy of a fight.
• Xu Taiping transformed his body into a true dragon divine being, cutting through Lei E’s pressure and easing the strain on Qu Chao Ci, Bai Yue, and Mo Qingzhu.
• Xu Taiping challenged Lei E to a fight using only his flesh and the strength of a pure martial artist, while Qu Chao Ci and Bai Yue urged him to fight together.
• Xu Taiping explained that Lei E’s full strength would leave them no chance and that a pure martial artist’s challenge was their only way through the Second Layer.
• Lei E accepted Xu Taiping’s challenge, seized a Mo Dao, and called for him to fight.

Xu Taiping secured Lei E’s agreement to a fist challenge, with the winner deciding whether he and his companions would enter the Third Layer or remain trapped on the Ziwei Jade Pillar. As the duel began, Supreme Venerable Xuanwei and his companions recognized Xu Taiping and suspected he carried valuable information or items.

• Xu Taiping asked Lei E to keep outsiders from interfering and to send him and his friends to the Third Layer if he won; Lei E raised a barrier around the Jade Platform.
• Lei E wagered that Xu Taiping and his three companions would remain with him forever if he won, and Qu Chao Ci, Bai Yue, and Mo Qingzhu agreed to share the stakes.
• Xu Taiping accepted Lei E’s terms, and Lei E enclosed the two fighters within a separate boundary before the fist challenge began.
• Outside the barrier, Xu San and Luo Hong recognized Xu Taiping as the martial artist who had defeated Nangong Wen and Baili Yezhao in the Black Prison.
• Supreme Venerable Xuanwei and his companions suspected Xu Taiping had learned about Lei E from the Heaven-Hunting Great Sage and resolved not to let him take what he carried into the Third Layer.

Xu Taiping challenged Lei E to a fist contest and matched the Heavenly Ding Divine General’s power. Their strongest attacks ended in a draw, leaving Supreme Venerable Xuanwei unsure whether Xu Taiping might surpass Lei E.

• Supreme Venerable Xuanwei told Luo Hong and Xu San that Lei E retained enough power to defeat a mortal martial artist, and the two planned to recover while Xu Taiping fought.
• Lei E announced a fist challenge and threw his Mo Dao into the sky, declaring that they could strike when it fell.
• Xu Taiping and Lei E each unleashed powerful fist auras, and their forces collided with comparable strength.
• Xu Taiping used Heaven-Touching Stance to send a giant deity projection toward Lei E, who answered with hundreds of bolts of thunder.
• The deity projection and Lei E’s thunder fist dissolved together, leaving Luo Hong astonished by the draw and Supreme Venerable Xuanwei questioning whether Xu Taiping could surpass Lei E.

Xu Taiping withstood Lei E’s thunder attacks by combining his fist force with Buddhist techniques, then blasted the skeleton backward with the Sea-Swallowing Seal. Lei E donned his battle armor and greatly increased his power, leaving Xu Taiping eager to test his limits against him.

• Lei E unleashed Myriad Acres of Thunder, but Xu Taiping remained unharmed beneath his Thousand Arms Vajra dharma aspect.
• Lei E struck again, and Luo Hong, Xu San, and Supreme Venerable Xuanwei recognized Xu Taiping’s Buddhist-Martial Dao Integration and the Buddhism Sea-Swallowing Seal.
• Xu Taiping absorbed Lei E’s thunder fist aura into the Sea-Swallowing Seal and released it, blasting Lei E backward over a hundred zhang.
• Lei E drew his Mo Dao and summoned his battle armor, which restored half his sealed combat power and greatly increased his aura.
• Xu Taiping welcomed the challenge, hoping to push his Heaven-Touching Stance to its limit and use Buddhist-Martial Dao Integration again as the Vajra Demon-Subduing Seal lit up on his arm.

Xu Taiping used Overlord’s Breath and the ultimate realm of his Heaven-Touching Stance to defeat Divine General Lei E. The spectators were left stunned, and Supreme Venerable Xuanwei suspected that Heaven-Hunting Great Sage’s appearance with Xu Taiping in Black Prison had not been a coincidence.

• Lei E shattered Xu Taiping’s Thousand Arms Vajra projection, but Xu Taiping’s next attack stopped Lei E’s punch.
• Lei E grew two additional arms and halted Xu Taiping’s fist force until it transformed into a Vajra dharma aspect and knocked him back.
• Xu Taiping used Overlord’s Breath to unleash the Heaven-Touching Stance twice, smashing apart Lei E’s accumulated fist force and battering his body.
• Xu Taiping invoked the Ultimate Realm, Heaven-Touching Stance, and his Vajra dharma aspect split into eight to repeatedly strike Lei E until the skeleton fell.
• Luo Hong and Xu San questioned what had happened, and Supreme Venerable Xuanwei concluded that Heaven-Hunting Great Sage and Xu Taiping had not appeared together in Black Prison by coincidence.
