Xiao Tian and the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths’ cultivators fought the Foreign Realm’s Heavenly Prodigies, but the Foreign Realm sacrificed billions of captives to summon Luomo’s remnant soul and learn what happened in the ancient battle. Luomo revealed a sealed battlefield in Great Red Heaven, and Xiao Tian was left consumed by grief and hatred as the Foreign Realm turned its attention to the ancient realm’s treasures.
After Kundi, An Lan, and Yu Tuo retreated, Xiao Tian led his allies into the ancient realm they had sought. They restored the Ironblood War Banner with immortal battle blood and uncovered the tragic history of the realm, including the fall and transformation of Immortal King Taisu.
Xiao Tian and his companions crossed a ruined ancient realm and met the Ghost Immortal King, who had once been Immortal King Taisu. After his music-driven Dao insight revealed his extraordinary potential, Xiao Tian asked to discuss a private request with her, hoping to restore her with Three Lights Divine Water and form an alliance.
Xiao Tian used Three Lights Divine Water to restore the Blood Phoenix’s pure origin and began rebuilding Immortal King Taisu’s body. Taisu’s transformation was underway when the chapter ended.
Xiao Tian helped Immortal King Taisu complete her revival and received her protection and a life-saving token in return. After Taisu began restoring the Phoenix Maiden’s mother, she sent Xiao Tian and the others away, and Xiao Tian set off to reunite with the Grand Elder and his companions.
Four months after returning to the Lower Realm, Xiao Tian prepared for the Border Wasteland while helping his family and allies grow stronger. Meng Tianzheng revealed that he had entered the half-step immortal domain, and Xiao Tian began secluded cultivation of the Indestructible Scripture.
Five months after refining his cultivation and strengthening his primordial spirit, Xiao Tian brought Shi Hao and their companions from Great Red Heaven to the Imperial Pass. The chapter ended with the Imperial Pass guards recognizing Xiao Tian and his formidable reputation.
Xiao Tian entered the Imperial City and met several powerful residents who tested his strength and welcomed him. The garrison commander Meng Tian claimed Xiao Tian’s master called him teacher, leaving Xiao Tian and Shi Hao worried that Meng Tian had trapped him into disrespecting his master and forebears.
Xiao Tian led a strike beyond Imperial Pass and slaughtered more than a thousand Foreign Realm cultivators exploring the Border Wasteland. The chapter ended with a blood banner warning the Foreign Realm that trespassers would be killed without mercy.
Xiao Tian absorbed the Foreign Realm Immortal King's leftover thunder and moved Willow Deity's ancestral stump into his Nine Heavens Breathing Soil, where it merged with the Willow Deity Clone. He set out to find black-and-white life-and-death light to help her recover, while Willow Deity sensed an unseen presence watching her in the Boundary Sea.
Ten years after Willow Deity and Little Tower entered the Boundary Sea, Xiao Tian traveled with his companions to the Life-and-Death Forbidden Ground to collect its black-and-white life-and-death light. He left the Ancient Female Double-Pupil to comprehend the formations while preparing to enter the deathtrap himself.
Xiao Tian gathered Black-and-White Life-and-Death Light in the forbidden ground, then returned to the Border Wasteland and exposed Ning Bo and the Ning Clan’s ties to a Foreign Realm Royal Clan. He condemned the campaign against the Descendants of the Seven Kings and left the Imperial City under his warning not to call them Sin Blood.
Xiao Tian punished those who persecuted the Descendants of the Seven Kings and confronted the Ancient Ape Supreme after a Feng Clan cultivator tried to turn the elder against him. The Ancient Ape Supreme accepted Xiao Tian’s explanation and ordered the Imperial Pass to stop targeting the descendants.
Xiao Tian explored the Death Desert with Zhen Mi, harvested an Other Shore Flower, and used its immortal essence to strengthen himself and develop a new Chaos Killing Array. He planned to enter the Ancient Burial Domain next, while the Foreign Realm hesitated to attack amid the threat of powerful allies and the mysterious Ten Realms Diagram.
After giving the Ancient Female Double-Pupil a powerful magical hairpin, Xiao Tian entered the Cosmic Embryo seed and triggered a hidden check-in in the Female Immortal Embryo's universe. His Dao enlightenment caused a vast manifestation of primordial laws, leaving the Female Immortal Embryo astonished.
Xiao Tian emerged from more than a year of cultivation in the Cosmic Embryo, having perfected his Dao laws and greatly strengthened his Primordial Spirit and physique after an unexpected encounter with the Female Immortal Embryo. He learned that Shi Hao and his confidantes had made names for themselves in a battle between the two realms’ young prodigies.
While Xiao Tian secretly gathered blood essence and watched his allies train in the Divine Medicine Mountain Range, he learned that Foreign Realm Supremes could already cross over. The chapter left him realizing that the Foreign Realm had likely sent them to ambush his confidantes and Shi Hao.
Xiao Tian emerged to save his confidantes from five Foreign Realm Supremes and began overwhelming the ambushers with his fists. He sent the women to the Ancient Burial Domain, where they reunited with Shi Hao, while his battle against the remaining Supremes continued.
Xiao Tian killed five Foreign Realm Supremes and helped Meng Tianzheng take credit, but ten more Supremes arrived to avenge them. Xiao Tian and Meng Tianzheng slaughtered most of the attackers, leaving Xuanming Supreme and one other Supreme fleeing.
Xiao Tian and Meng Tianzheng defeated the Foreign Realm Supremes, while Shi Hao glimpsed a future in which Cao Yusheng mourned him beside a fat black dog. The chapter ended with Xiao Tian planning to arrange matches for Meng Tianzheng and Cao Yusheng.
Xiao Tian and Shi Hao learned that Foreign Realm Heavenly Prodigies had entered the Ancient Burial Domain and sent their allies to confront them. As Yu Tuo reached into the domain to seize the Rotten Wooden Box, Xiao Tian waited for the Kunpeng King to intervene.
The Kunpeng King stopped Yu Tuo and An Lan from taking the Rotten Wooden Box, severed their arms, and claimed An Lan’s weapon. He then rewarded Xiao Tian with An Lan’s blood essence, while He Wushuang withdrew from Great Red Heaven after being wounded and concluded that powerful Immortal Kings still remained in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.
After An Lan withdrew from the Heavenly Abyss, Shi Hao claimed and buried the Rotten Wooden Box while Xiao Tian and the others explored the Ancient Burial Domain. At the Burial Abyss, Ying Xiyan joined Three Treasures’s group and met Hou Shen Ming, while Xiao Tian learned more about the burial warriors’ origins and treasures.
Xiao Tian and Shi Hao traded for rare treasures near the Burial Abyss, and Xiao Tian revived and planted a Bodhi immortal medicine and a Quasi-Immortal Medicine. When the abyss opened, an escaped Immortal King primordial spirit was destroyed, while Shi Hao’s own treasures drew the burial warriors’ hostility before he diverted their attention with a damaged cauldron.
Xiao Tian led Shi Hao, Ying Xiyan, Chen Three Treasures, and Hou Shen Ming into the Burial Abyss to investigate the legendary Origin Land. After a perilous entrance ordeal, the group reached a golden vortex, where Shi Hao barely survived the passage while Xiao Tian hid in his hair.
