After killing the Yuhua Divine Son, Li Qingyue fled as experts pursued her over rumors that she possessed an Ancient Great Emperor’s inheritance. She headed toward the Southern Ridge, deciding to visit the Fire Domain first to forge a weapon from her immortal gold.

• Li Qingyue reflected on the lives she had taken and resolved to kill anyone who threatened her, then escaped with her Flying Immortal Step.

When she refused and demanded to know what had happened to Yang Wuzheng and Yan Wushuang, the Kaiyang Holy Son revealed a powerful Vision and prepared to fight.

• The Kaiyang Holy Son told Li Qingyue to stop resisting and declared that she was no match for him.

Li Qingyue resisted the Kaiyang Holy Son’s Open Yang King Body by manifesting a vast vision that combined numerous Dao principles into a world of its own. The Kaiyang Holy Son answered by expanding his vision from three scorching suns to five and ordered them to suppress her.

• Li Qingyue realized the Seven Great Holy Lands concealed formidable powers and that the Feathered Great Emperor’s lingering Great Dao had suppressed the emergence of powerful cultivators.

• The Kaiyang Holy Son rejected the idea that a Mortal Body could challenge his King Body and strengthened his vision until five scorching suns formed.
• The Kaiyang Holy Son ordered the five scorching suns to suppress Li Qingyue.

Li Qingyue’s devouring Dao absorbed the Kaiyang Holy Son’s five-sun vision, leading her to understand how swallowed physique origins could strengthen her inner world. She realized that developing her bitter sea into a self-sustaining world could prepare her to ascend to the Dao Palace.

• The Kaiyang Holy Son’s five blazing suns battered Li Qingyue’s phantom world, but her nine life springs anchored it while her devouring Dao consumed the vision’s power.

She withstood the Kaiyang Holy Son’s Ten Suns Across the Sky, and he left after she offered him a chance to withdraw.

• Li Qingyue understood that her bitter sea’s world was not yet complete enough to support opening her Dao Palace, and she rejected relying only on devouring special physiques.
• The Kaiyang Holy Son unleashed Ten Suns Across the Sky, sinking the land around Li Qingyue and overwhelming the two Four Extremes Realm elders.
• Li Qingyue’s vision stabilized as her Heaven-Swallowing Demon Art devoured the Kaiyang Holy Son’s power and dimmed his ten suns.
• Li Qingyue told the Kaiyang Holy Son she would let him leave unharmed, though she would show no mercy if he persisted.

The Kaiyang Holy Son departed after sensing both the watcher and his King Body origin being drained, while Li Qingyue gained a way to travel toward the Southern Ridge.

• The Kaiyang Holy Son confronted a figure concealed with Yaoguang’s Sacred Light Art, and the figure said he had been asked to help Li Qingyue.

She ventured through the layers of fire under the protection of the Sky-Supporting Seal, facing flames powerful enough to consume her divine power.

• Li Qingyue learned that cultivators from the Holy Lands, the Feathered Divine Dynasty, and other forces were searching the city for her, so she hurried toward the Fire Domain.
• After half a month, Li Qingyue reached the Fire Domain and entered its crimson flames to escape a group of pursuers from the Southern Region.
• Li Qingyue crossed the blue, white, black, and golden flames, where the heat increasingly threatened her holy light and divine power.
• At the edge of the purple flames, Li Qingyue found that they devoured her holy light, so she raised the Saint Weapon Sky-Supporting Seal to protect herself and considered venturing deeper to melt the Dragon-Patterned Black Gold.

Li Qingyue explored the Fire Domain and discovered that its deepest core held a Flame Saint Tree that gave rise to the sea of fire. Unable to approach it or melt Immortal Gold with the flames near the eighth layer, she used the Survival System to gain insight and learned the tree’s terrifying nature.

• Li Qingyue crossed the seventh layer beneath the Sky-Supporting Seal and found the five-colored flames of the eighth layer, where the remains of dead Mighty Ones were being refined.
• She tested dragon-patterned black Immortal Gold and the Sky-Supporting Seal, confirming that the eighth-layer flames could not melt the gold but could burn away the seal’s Dao resonance.
• Li Qingyue examined her system panel, saw that her secret arts were still rudimentary, and spent a thousand survival points to merge her consciousness with the Fire Domain.
• Li Qingyue perceived the nine-colored flames of the ninth layer and discovered that the sea of fire came from a walking Flame Saint Tree made entirely of interwoven flames, which she could not approach without being refined.
