As the lineages traveled toward the Demon Savage Continent, Ancestor Canyang explained how sword cultivators could develop a sword domain. Li Yang gained insight from the lesson and Ancestor Canyang’s demonstration, but his lukewarm response prompted the ancestor to challenge him to explain his own understanding.
Li Yang impressed Ancestor Canyang by identifying three flaws in his sword domain, then joined the gathered cultivators at the border of the Demon Savage Continent as the realms prepared to join. With the upheaval imminent, Ancestor Canyang offered to guard Li Yang while he studied the unstable space.
Li Yang provoked Li Xiao, who sought revenge for Zi Yuan, until Ning Qingfeng arrived and punished him for threatening her. Ning Qingfeng then revealed that Li Xiao was the last known bearer of Chu Mu’s Dao Heart Demon Seed, and that Chu Mu’s resurrection plan might involve an Outer-Domain Celestial Demon.
Li Yang rejected Jiang Xingzhou and Shen Yaoyin because of their past ties to the Nine Nether Dynasty and their shifting loyalties, then turned to Wang Dabao to discuss a possible partnership. He also planned to kill Chu Mu and Li Xiao when the opportunity arose.
As the Nine Provinces and Demon Savage Continent began joining, Li Yang survived an assassination attempt and the Sword Alliance vowed to hunt down those responsible. On the Demon Savage Continent, conspirators prepared a second attempt using poison delivered through a Peace Faction prodigy.
Li Yang entered the Great World of Ten Thousand Immortals, where cultivators competed for ancient legacies and Upper Realm energy. He arrived alone, found a demon cultivator slaughtering rivals for a Golden Jade Slip, and confronted him just as the killer feared his identity.
Li Yang killed the demon cultivator Crown Champion, destroyed his Soul Banner, and hurried to answer a Sword Envoy's call for aid. At Sword Mountain, he arrived as Demon Savage Continent prodigies attacked the Sword Cultivators guarding the inheritance site.
Xing Jun fought the Azure Phoenix and its Demon Savage Continent allies at Sword Mountain, but their superior strength left the Sword Cultivators near defeat. When Li Yang’s approach sent Demon Cultivators fleeing, the chapter ended as his scarlet sword light appeared and the Sword Cultivators rallied.
Li Yang joined the battered sword cultivators at Sword Mountain and used the Pseudo-Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation to slaughter the Demon Savage Continent’s attackers. He killed the Azure Phoenix as well, leaving Xing Jun furious that Li Yang had taken his battle achievement.
Li Yang rebuked Xing Jun for his recklessness and punished cultivators who had abandoned their fellow sword cultivators. When those cultivators attacked him over the treasures on Sword Mountain, its flying swords rallied to Li Yang, and he trapped the attackers at the exit to slaughter them.
Li Yang cleared Sword Mountain of evil swords, refined the Mock Immortal-Slaying Sword, and helped Xing Jun secure the Ten Thousand Sword Casket Sect’s inheritance. With more than fifty Sword Cultivators following him, he set out to answer another Sword Envoy’s call for help against evil fiends and monsters.
Ning Xiwū led thirty Ning Lineage members into the Crimson Continent with Zhu Xiao, who promised to guide them to its inheritance. After fire-aspected beasts ambushed them, the Ning group escaped with Spatial-Shift Talismans, but Zhu Xiao and the beasts revealed that they had staged the attack to hunt them for their phoenix origin essence blood.
Ning Xiwู and the Ning Lineage were ambushed by the Vermilion Bird, Bifang, and other demons after Golden Crow Zhu Xiao secretly helped them track their movements. Just as the Vermilion Bird prepared to kill Ning Xiwู, Li Yang arrived in pursuit of the wounded Dijiang, with a blood-red sun following behind him.
Li Yang and the sword cultivators rescued the hunted members of the Ning Lineage and killed Bifang, while Dijiang and the Vermilion Bird escaped deeper into the Blazing Continent. With the survivors safe, Ning Xiwู asked Li Yang to let her report someone.
Li Yang and the Ning Lineage reached the Blazing Continent’s deepest chamber, where he claimed the Immortal Parasol Tree and confronted restrictions protecting the Fusang Tree. With Zhu Xiao waiting nearby to claim its inheritance, Li Yang decided to destroy the tree rather than let him have it.
Li Yang destroyed the Fusang Tree rather than let the Golden Crow Clan claim it, then pursued the Golden Crow as a battle erupted. Elsewhere, Chu Feng drove off the Blissful Devil Venerable, but an unknown swordsman arrived as the immortal prepared to escape.
Li Yang killed Zhu Xiao after Chongyang disavowed his son's actions and affirmed Xun Province's loyalty to the Nine Provinces. He then charged toward Blissful Devil Venerable, while Lin He and a Nine-Tailed Fox Woman arrived to protect the others and support Mu Yao.
Li Yang killed the Blissful Devil Venerable’s possessed body and annihilated his true spirit with the Immortal-Slaying Sword, earning a second-level Dao Alliance Treasury jade talisman. Afterward, he confronted Tu Shan Jiaojiao, a Nine-Tailed Fox Demon whom Lin He vouched for, but Li Yang distrusted her and demanded an explanation.
Li Yang learned that the Moonlit Holy Land’s Upper Realm lineage had turned to the Demonic Path and set out with the others for its occupied inheritance site. Meanwhile, demonic cultivators gathered at Extreme Yin Mountain to help the Devil Venerable break the final seal, unaware that new arrivals might disrupt the attempt.
Feng Wangshu attacked Demon Venerable Thousandfold to stop him from breaking the Moonlit Holy Land's legacy seal, but he transferred his will into another body and left her gravely wounded. As the seal neared collapse, he threatened her and urged a demonic cultivator to assault her despite the Taiyin Demon Rabbit's warning.
Li Yang and Lin He rescued Feng Wangshu from Demon Venerable Thousandfold and the Demon Cultivators, then revealed a trap surrounding Taiyin Mountain. Li Yang prepared to claim Demon Venerable Thousandfold’s head as the remaining enemies faced the formation.
Li Yang used his fearsome reputation and the Pseudo-Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation to punish demonic cultivators in the Moonlit Holy Land inheritance ground. After sparing those who had not attacked him, he demanded their inheritance spoils or permission to search their souls, then threatened a cultivator who objected.
Li Yang used his Sword Chief and Moonlit Holy Land tokens to force the demonic cultivators to surrender their resources as they left the formation. He exposed Demon Venerable Thousandfold's possession of a Golden Core cultivator and cornered the evil immortal, who then feinted toward the formation wall to attack Li Yang.
Li Yang used the Immortal-Slaying Sword and the Pseudo-Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation to wear down and kill Demon Venerable Thousandfold after the evil immortal repeatedly escaped. He then brought Feng Wangshu to Bright Moon, where he ordered Ning Xiw to restrain the Taiyin Demon Rabbit before the gathered Moonlit Holy Land disciples approached their inheritance.
Li Yang retrieved the Moonlit Holy Land inheritance and learned that the Xuanyuan Sword Sect was under attack by the Sun-Slaying Alliance and the Demon Savage Continent’s War Faction. Wang Dabao pleaded for him to hurry to the inheritance grounds, where Li Xiao, Chu Feng, and several powerful old monsters were attacking.
