• Chen Ao persuaded Saike to help hunt third-order World Beasts and sent a divine power clone into Saike’s inner realm to study the destruction law.
• Over five million years, humanity gained experts and territory, so the Demon, Zerg, and Machine races allied to curb its expansion and opened a Universe Master battlefield.
• After the three races ambushed humanity and killed four allied Universe Masters, Chen Ao killed eight Demon Race Universe Masters in retaliation and agreed to face Zhen Jiao in the Universe Ocean.
• Chen Ao met Zhen Jiao at the Xuanze Sea with his Human Body and Bloodlight Hall Master clone, then used the Snow Jade Hall and a sealing technique to slow and suppress him.
