Jiang Shang then invested all 365 gods, including Zhunti and disciples from the Chan, Human, and Western Sects, and the Heavenly Dao’s merit appeared as the Four Saints awaited their chance to break through.

• Jiang Shang whipped Zhunti’s true spirit until it settled down and accepted the Investiture of the Gods List, while Luohu threatened Zhunti against harming him later and Hongjun declared Jiang Shang his disciple.

• Hongjun broke Luohu’s clones and attacked the altar, but a Heavenly Dao barrier repelled him and protected it, leaving Hongjun in disbelief as Lu Feng smiled.

Hongjun failed to destroy Luohu’s altar because the Heavenly Dao protected it, allowing Luohu’s sacrifice to complete the Devil Dao and earn a karmic debt. The Heavenly Dao invited Luohu and Lu Feng into its space, where Luohu exposed Lu Feng as the scheme’s mastermind, drawing Hongjun’s murderous attention.

• Hongjun struck the altar, but a Heavenly Dao barrier repelled him, and Luohu laughed at his frustration.
• Lu Feng explained to Tongtian and Nuwa that Luohu’s offering would complete the Devil Dao and make the Heavenly Dao owe Luohu a karmic debt.

Back on Golden Ao Island, Lu Feng decided to strengthen the Interception Sect disciples so they could reach the Saint Realm and surprise Hongjun’s side.

• Dense tribulation qi appeared across the Primordial World, leading Taishang, Yuanshi, Jieyin, Zhunti, Tongtian, Nuwa, and Haotian to suspect that another Calamity had begun.

Lu Feng refined the Chaos Bead through destruction and creation, forging it into the Primordial Chaos Bead and using it to establish a Dao under his control. As several Interception Sect disciples attained sainthood and entrusted their Primordial Spirits to the new bead, Lu Feng broke through into the Primordial Unity Heavenly Dao Realm.

• Tongtian and Nuwa sensed powerful saintly auras spreading from Lu Feng's cave abode and realized that several Interception Sect disciples were breaking through together.
• Duobao and Yunxiao attained the Saint Realm while Lu Feng suppressed his system rewards and planned to take control of the Dao within the Chaos Bead.
• Lu Feng entered the Chaos Bead and used the Pangu Banner to expand and then annihilate its inner world, causing the bead to crack and shatter.

Lu Feng used the primordial spirits of seven Saint-level figures to empower the Primordial Chaos Bead and began breaking through to the Primordial Unity Heavenly Dao Realm. Hongjun and Luohu arrived, and Lu Feng’s breakthrough struck at Hongjun’s Dao, threatening to lower his cultivation.

• Hongjun and Luohu sensed several new Saint auras from Golden Ao Island, followed by an aura of the Primordial Unity Heavenly Dao Realm.
• As Lu Feng rose into the sky, the pressure of his breakthrough split Golden Ao Island apart despite Tongtian’s attempts to repair it.
• Lu Feng called on his Saint disciples to send their primordial spirits into the Primordial Chaos Bead, and Houtu also offered her primordial spirit to help him.
• Lu Feng declared that the bead would also be the Dao throughout primordial chaos, and his aura surged as he began his breakthrough.
• Hongjun and Luohu arrived, and Luohu offered to protect Lu Feng while Hongjun prepared to interfere.
• Lu Feng’s rising aura struck Hongjun’s Dao and caused Hongjun’s cultivation realm to show signs of falling.
