Li Tiezhu survived the allied army’s chaotic rescue and found the gravely wounded Si Shuo, whom he revived with a pill. After learning that Jiang Ling had become an Immortal Emperor and was fighting Ancestor Si Ming, Li Tiezhu set off to follow Si Shuo, with the Azure Bull Demon King and the entire army pursuing him.

Li Tiezhu and the Joyous Union Sect's army joined Si Shuo as he fought to reach Ancestor Si Ming, while Xie Changsheng and the others struggled to protect Luo Hongyi as she activated the Eye of Reincarnation. The allied fighters committed to holding back the Filth Demons, and Xie Changsheng unleashed his Myriad Laws Spell to buy Luo Hongyi time.

• Si Shuo saw that the battlefield had splintered into scattered groups and learned that Luo Hongyi was surrounded while preparing the Eye of Reincarnation.

• Si Shuo, Li Tiezhu, and the Azure Bull Demon King charged Jiang Ling to avenge Si Ming, but she prepared to kill them with another slash.
• A red radiance formed a vast, awe-inspiring vortex near Luo Hongyi, causing fighters and demons across the battlefield to stop and look toward it.
• Luo Hou recognized the vortex as a natural enemy and rushed toward Luo Hongyi, while Zhu Yao, Feng Qing, Kunpeng, Jiang Ling, Chen Xu, and Lu Yu also abandoned their battles and headed there.
• After Jiang Ling left, Li Tiezhu and the Azure Bull Demon King went to help Si Shuo, who was desperately trying to save the dying Si Ming.
• Si Ming told Si Shuo not to blame Jiang Ling, then used his remaining strength to give Si Shuo the creation dao fruit he had cultivated over a hundred thousand years.

Ancestor Si Ming transferred his accumulated Dao fruits to Si Shuo, granting him Immortal Emperor power for two hours at the cost of his life and Si Shuo’s cultivation. Si Shuo became an Immortal Emperor as Si Ming dissolved into the Dao, and the allied army paid its respects.

• Ancestor Si Ming revealed that the Yi Wood Eternal Spring Art accumulated a lifetime of insights and Dao fruits, which he could use to forge Si Shuo an Immortal Emperor Dao Foundation for two hours.

• Si Ming's aura vanished after he passed his power on, and Jiang Ling, Kunpeng, and the Immortal Emperors continued toward the Eye of Reincarnation.
• Chen Xu, Lu Yu, and Yu Han mourned Si Ming before resolving to press on, while Taichu and Si Chen discussed whether death was truly the end.

• Song Chi, Xie Changsheng, and their allies held their ground as cultivators and Filth Demons surged toward Luo Hongyi.
• Luo Hongyi opened her booklet, summoned Other Shore Flowers, declared the realm the Netherworld, and opened the Eye of Reincarnation.

Luo Hongyi endured the Eye of Reincarnation’s backlash with help from her allies and the fading phantoms of Shi Yin and Yu Jiutian, then established the Underworld and its five paths of reincarnation. Shi Yin and Yu Jiutian disappeared as Luo Hongyi’s new law took effect across the Three Realms.

• The Eye of Reincarnation threatened the souls of everyone present, while Li Tiezhu remained unaffected.
• Luo Hongyi began to buckle under the Eye’s karmic backlash, so Xie Changsheng, Zhou Yan, Song Chi, Black Mountain, Red Wind, and Murong Li lent her their power.
• Shi Yin and Yu Jiutian appeared and used their strength as ancient Demon Sovereigns to ease the pressure on Luo Hongyi.
• Luo Hongyi stabilized beneath the vortex as a sacred red corona formed above her, while Shi Yin and Yu Jiutian faded away after sharing their final words with Xie Changsheng and Zhou Yan.
• Luo Hongyi declared the establishment of the Underworld and opened reincarnation, creating five paths for souls across the Three Realms and the Ninefold Netherworld.
• As the five paths emerged, every Filth Demon across the Void of the Forgotten River and the Myriad Heavens screamed.

A new Great Dao created by mortals opened a red vortex that swept up the Filth Demons and drained Luo Hou’s power. As Luo Hou began devouring his own Demon Gods to reclaim his strength, the battle’s outcome remained uncertain.

• The red vortex opened and pulled hundreds of millions of Filth Demons into the sky, revealing an unprecedented power that stunned Azure Xi, Si Shuo, Jiang Ling, and the Immortal Emperors.
• Li Tiezhu questioned why the new order contained only five paths, while Jiang Ling reconsidered Taichu’s claim that the world could only be erased.
• Si Chen told Taichu that he had won their round, but Taichu warned that victory depended on whether the new order could suppress Luo Hou.
• Luo Hou realized the vortex was extracting his Filth Qi and Obsession, and even his Demon Gods began dissolving into black vapor.
• Luo Hou abandoned his attempt to control the vortex and began devouring his Demon Gods to reclaim their power.

At the Forgotten River, Luo Hou devoured his demon gods and absorbed their power until his aura surpassed the Immortal Emperor level, then claimed he transcended life and death. He launched an attack on Luo Hongyi and the assembled armies, while Li Tiezhu recognized Luo Hou’s words as strangely familiar.

• Luo Hou devoured his demon gods, growing stronger as the Immortal and Demon-Beast Allied Army watched in horror.
• Chen Xu realized Luo Hou’s aura had surpassed the Immortal Emperor level, while Kunpeng and Jiang Ling recognized the danger he posed.

• Li Tiezhu heard Luo Hou’s claims from the edge of the battlefield and wondered why they sounded so familiar.

Luo Hou rampaged toward Luo Hongyi to seize the Eye of Reincarnation, while the allied armies and Immortal Emperors tried to stop him. The chapter ended with twelve Emperor Realm powerhouses setting aside their grudges and joining forces against him.

• Xie Changsheng, Zhou Yan, Song Chi, and their companions shielded Luo Hongyi, then Chen Xu, Lu Yu, Yu Han, and seven other veteran Immortal Emperors arrived to protect her.
• Kunpeng debated fleeing, while Jiang Ling lowered her blade and chose to watch rather than help either side.

• Si Shuo and Feng Qing intercepted Luo Hou's next attack, but both were injured and driven back.
• Chen Xu called the fighters to attack together, and ten veteran Immortal Emperors, Si Shuo, and Feng Qing surrounded Luo Hou.

Luo Hou overwhelmed the twelve Immortal Emperors until Zhu Yao joined the battle, while Li Tiezhu resisted her evacuation and remained alone on the battlefield. As Jiang Ling stayed silent beside the anxious Kunpeng, Luo Hou faced thirteen Emperor Realm opponents and the lord they awaited was still nowhere to be seen.

• Luo Hou shrugged off the twelve Immortal Emperors’ attacks, and Si Shuo charged him with his borrowed power running out.

• Luo Hou vanished and pierced Immortal Emperor Nan Xuan from behind, draining his immortal essence as Nan Xuan tried to resist.
• Luo Hou crushed Nan Xuan’s heart and killed him, leaving the surviving Immortal Emperors horrified and despairing.

Luo Hou overwhelmed the Immortal Emperors after devouring Nan Xuan, killing Yu Han and consuming her Origin Source. Zhu Yao survived his deadly spear strike by escaping into the Void, but the remaining emperors were left facing an even stronger enemy.

• Luo Hou devoured Nan Xuan’s Origin Source, then defeated the combined attacks of Chen Xu, Lu Yu, Yu Han, Feng Qing, Zhu Yao, and the other Immortal Emperors.

• Luo Hou targeted Zhu Yao, but she used Great Void Shift to evade his spear and reappeared a thousand feet away with a bloody mark on her forehead.
• Luo Hou turned on Yu Han, pierced her chest with his demonic spear, and swallowed her Origin Source as Chen Xu and Lu Yu cried out in anguish.

After Luo Hou devoured Yu Han, Zhou Yan proposed uniting the River Chart World, the Underworld, and the Eye of Reincarnation to create a complete universe capable of defeating him. The group began the dangerous process of merging the worlds, with Zhou Yan using Yu Jiutian’s art to reshape the heavens.

• Luo Hou devoured Yu Han, growing stronger as the remaining Immortal Emperors trembled at the deaths of Si Ming, Nan Xuan, and Yu Han.
• Zhou Yan told the group that Si Chen was likely occupied by Taichu and that they would have to rely on themselves.

• Zhou Yan invoked the Myriad Phenomena Heavenly Derivation Art and began laying the foundation to reshape the heavens.

Luo Hou tried to reach Luo Hongyi, Xie Changsheng, and the others, but Lu Yu sacrificed himself to stop him with a self-detonation. Luo Hou survived the blast and began recovering, leaving the battle unresolved.

• Luo Hou abandoned his fight with Zhu Yao and charged toward the group surrounded by the silver Law of Time.
• Zhu Yao used Great Void Shift to put Feng Qing, Chen Xu, Si Shuo, and the other surviving Immortal Emperors in Luo Hou's path, but he struck them aside and kept going.
• Lu Yu, devastated by Yu Han's death, caught up with Luo Hou and detonated his reserves and Dao Foundation to stop him.
• Zhu Yao shifted the injured Immortal Emperors in front of Luo Hongyi and the others, and they joined together to withstand the blast's aftershocks.
• Luo Hou tore through the Void with a mangled clawed hand, survived the explosion, and began rapidly recovering.

As the Laws strengthened overhead, Chen Xu and the remaining Immortal Emperors chose to sacrifice themselves to hold Luo Hou back and give the new era a chance to survive. Chen Xu was the last to detonate, leaving Luo Hou engulfed in a succession of blasts while Luo Hongyi’s group continued their work.

• Chen Xu realized Luo Hongyi and the others were close to completing their task as the vortex overhead grew stronger, while Zhu Yao used Great Void Shift to divert Luo Hou’s attack.
• Luo Hou charged toward Luo Hongyi’s group, and Chen Xu and the other six remaining Immortal Emperors stepped in to stop him.
• Chen Xu and the six Immortal Emperors burned their Origin Sources, while Zhu Yao sealed Luo Hou inside a spatial cage.
• The Immortal Emperors detonated themselves one after another inside the cage, repeatedly striking Luo Hou as he screamed.
• Chen Xu remembered Senior Brother Yuan Pu and detonated himself as the final Immortal Emperor.

Seven Immortal Emperors sacrificed themselves to destroy their enemies, leaving Si Shuo, Jiang Ling, and Li Tiezhu to reckon with their deaths. As Li Tiezhu asked the system how he could help, it questioned whether his remembered Earth had ever existed.

• The seven Immortal Emperors self-detonated, and Si Shuo realized that all twelve elders who had once ruled the Immortal Realm were dead.
• Jiang Ling recalled how the phrase “a necessary sacrifice” had haunted her and began to question the hatred that had driven her to destroy the world.
• Li Tiezhu survived the blast with the system’s help but grieved that he had been unable to save anyone or affect the battle.
• Li Tiezhu urged the system to activate its ultimate cheat, but it said the time was not right and asked whether Earth had ever truly existed.

The system revealed that Li Tiezhu had no memories of Earth because he had never had a past or homeland, and that he and Heaven Mender were weapons fashioned by Taichu. At the Forgotten River, Luo Hou survived the Immortal Emperors’ sacrifice, and Jiang Ling appeared just as Si Shuo tried to attack him.

• The system asked Li Tiezhu about his parents, exposing that he could recall no concrete details of his supposed life on Earth.
• Heaven Mender told Li Tiezhu that they were twins born as one, both weapons created by Taichu, with it as the Laws and him as the vessel.

• Si Shuo, sensing his borrowed cultivation was fading, charged at Luo Hou and tried to detonate his Origin Source.
• Jiang Ling appeared between Si Shuo and Luo Hou, kicked Si Shuo away, and interrupted his attempt to sacrifice himself.

Jiang Ling turned on Luo Hou and joined Zhu Yao and Feng Qing in attacking him, but his wounds healed as he fought back and overpowered all three. Luo Hou then rushed toward the weakened Si Shuo, and Jiang Ling raced to stop him.

• Jiang Ling slashed Luo Hou instead of helping him, and Zhu Yao and Feng Qing joined her assault.
