Blood Refining Venerable thought he had killed Gu Chenfeng, only to realize he had escaped through the restriction barrier at the Core Region passage.

Gu Chenfeng escaped the Blood Refining Venerable through a restricted passage, but the passage weakened as an enemy trap threatened Mu Chen and the others in the Core Region. The Bronze Coffin broke free of Gu Chenfeng’s restraints, pulled him inside, and raced toward the Core Region while the Blood Refining Venerable planned to seal the passage.

The Soul Devouring Beasts trapped Star Venerable Beichen, Cold Heaven Venerable, and Sword-Walking Venerable with the Ten Thousand Yin Banner and summoned Blood Refining Venerable to finish them.

Gu Chenfeng returned to Mu Chen after the battle at the Demon Cavern and learned that Star Luo Hall had won, though Blood Refining Venerable escaped. After recovering from his injuries, Gu Chenfeng noticed strange midnight tremors from the Bronze Coffin and later went to Dust-Cleansing Peak to collect his rewards and prepare to return to the Four Symbols Sect.

Gu Chenfeng received a Source Venerable Realm Soul Devouring Beast’s spirit crystal and learned that an Upper Realm expert imprisoned at the Human and Demon Races Borderlands was close to breaking free. As he began refining the crystal on his way home, the bronze coffin opened and a little girl emerged, calling him “Dada.”

• The bronze coffin appeared in the cabin and opened, releasing a little girl who floated out and threw herself into Gu Chenfeng’s arms, calling him “Dada.”

After returning to the Four Symbols Divine Sect with Tongtong, Gu Chenfeng ordered the sect to consolidate its territory and prepared to cultivate for the coming crisis. Meanwhile, the Blood Refining Venerable learned that his master’s seal was close to breaking and ordered Ling Qianxue to disrupt Gu Chenfeng’s sect.

• At Rosy Glow Peak, Gu Chenfeng introduced Tongtong as a child he had picked up, then asked the sect’s leaders about recent events.

• The Blood Refining Venerable revealed that his master’s escape would begin an Upper Realm Four Clans counterattack and ordered Ling Qianxue to sow trouble within Gu Chenfeng’s Four Symbols Divine Sect.

After two years in seclusion, Gu Chenfeng emerged to hear that super demon caverns were stirring and tensions were rising along the Human-Demon border. He sensed a hidden visitor southwest of the sect, and Tongtong pointed out the figure as it appeared.

• Gu Chenfeng sensed someone hidden southwest of the sect and appeared there, where Tongtong identified the visitor before a familiar figure emerged from the void.

Mu Chen warned Gu Chenfeng that the border seal was close to breaking and urged him to survive the coming war. Three months later, as tensions between human and demon cultivators rose in Two Realms City, Gu Chenfeng revealed himself at the Delicacies Hall after its guests nearly came to blows over his reputation.

• Mu Chen told Gu Chenfeng that the border seal might break within a year and that Soul Devouring Beasts would threaten the Four Symbols Divine Sect, urging him to protect himself.
• Mu Chen shared intelligence about the demon caverns and the growing suspicion that hidden Devouring Spirit Beasts were worsening tensions between the Human and Demon Races, then left for the border.
• Over the following months, conflicts and rumors of a collapsing alliance spread, while experts from both races gathered in Two Realms City.

• Gu Chenfeng, disguised in a bamboo hat and black cloak, asked the girl beside him whether the demons were so eager to challenge him.

After returning to the Four Symbols Divine Sect's encampment, he sensed the Guixu Cauldron Sealing weakening and heard a familiar voice warn that his world was in trouble.

• Gu Chenfeng seized and annihilated the blood shadow possessing the Qilin Race expert, revealing that an ancient evil demon had tried to sabotage cooperation between the Human and Demon Races.

• The border shook as Gu Chenfeng sensed the Guixu Cauldron Sealing weakening, and a familiar voice told him that his world seemed to be in trouble.

Gu Chenfeng rejected Leng Xingye’s offer to take him to the Eternal Heaven Realm, choosing to stay and face the threat to the Seven Star Continent rather than abandon the people he cared about. Enraged by his refusal, Leng Xingye destroyed stars above Eternal Night.

As the Demonic Tide erupted across the Human and Demon Races’ territories, Gu Chenfeng prepared the Four Symbols Divine Sect to withstand the attack while the two races’ strongest fighters joined forces to reinforce the Guixu Cauldron’s seal. The chapter left the great battle underway, with the sealed Blood Nether Race powerhouse struggling to break free.

• The ten powerhouses poured their Law Power into the Guixu Cauldron as the Blood Nether Race powerhouse battered the seal from within.

The demonic tide turned its assault on the Four Symbols Divine Sect, where Ling Qianxue revealed herself as its leader and lured Xie Guhong, Gongsun Yan, and Ming Ye into a trap. As Ling Qianxue and eight Half-Step Source Venerable Realm evil demons attacked them, a Star Seal suddenly descended from above.

Gu Chenfeng fought the Blood Refining Venerable, blocking his first attack and surviving a sustained assault despite being outmatched. When the Venerable strengthened his blood pythons into nine flood dragons and one caught Gu Chenfeng off guard, Gu Chenfeng activated several defensive treasures and arts as the attack closed in.

• Gu Chenfeng used the Power of the Human Strike, Azure Dragon Shatters the Void, and Purple-Gold Giant Peak to destroy the Blood Refining Venerable's demonic hand.
• Xie Guhong, Gongsun Yan, Ming Ye, and the other witnesses were shocked that Gu Chenfeng had blocked a Source Venerable Realm attack without injury.
• The Blood Refining Venerable sent blood pythons after Gu Chenfeng, who dodged and counterattacked with his axe, Azure Dragon Sky-Splitting Claw, and Purplecloud Divine Peak.
• The Blood Refining Venerable empowered the nine pythons with blood blades, transforming them into flood dragons that overwhelmed Gu Chenfeng's defenses and exposed an opening.
• As a flood dragon lunged to bite him, Gu Chenfeng formed Profound Yellow Qi Armor and activated the Heaven-Mixing Shield, Ancient Treasures Golden Bell, and Purplecloud Divine Peak for protection.
