Gu Chenfeng held off two Blood Nether Race fighters until reinforcements turned the battle against his side, forcing the rival groups to unite and defend themselves. As they struggled against ten enemies, a damaged wall collapsed and revealed a treasure-filled ancient space.

• Gu Chenfeng revealed that he had anticipated the black-robed woman's ambush and fought her to a standstill while trapping the injured black-robed man in the Thousand Illusions Treasure Mirror.
• Gu Chenfeng wounded the black-robed woman with Earth-Slaying Sky-Splitting, but three Blood Nether Race reinforcements led by Tu Ling arrived before he could press his advantage.
• Yuan Liekong, Bai Miaoyin, Gu Chenfeng, and Yichan joined forces against the ten Blood Nether Race powerhouses, whose superior numbers and three late-stage fighters forced them into a defensive formation.
• Tu Ling said Lord Mingluo had ordered Gu Chenfeng captured alive if possible, deepening the danger to Gu Chenfeng and his allies.
• A powerful attack struck the cracked stone wall, causing it to collapse and reveal an ancient space filled with ruined palaces, lingering law turbulence, and signs of hidden treasures.

After Yuan Liekong abandoned Bai Miaoyin, Yichan, and Gu Chenfeng to escape, Bai Miaoyin used the Jade Ruyi to shield the group from the Soul Devouring Beasts. Gu Chenfeng drew the pursuers away so the others could flee, leaving Bai Miaoyin to lament that inviting him had doomed him.

• A newly revealed, ancient battlefield space astonished the assembled powerhouses, and Yuan Liekong used his pagoda to escape with two companions, leaving Bai Miaoyin, Yichan, and Gu Chenfeng surrounded.
• Bai Miaoyin used the Jade Ruyi to shield herself, Yichan, and Gu Chenfeng as they tried to break through the Soul Devouring Beasts’ encirclement.
• The black-robed old man attacked their protective glow with a blood-rune ring, slowing their escape and weakening the shield.
• Bai Miaoyin offered to hold back the enemy’s strongest fighters, but Gu Chenfeng told her and Yichan to focus on escaping and flew deeper into the Ancient Battlefield to draw the pursuers away.
• The black-robed young man pursued Gu Chenfeng, while Bai Miaoyin and Yichan fled toward the battlefield’s exit and lamented that Gu Chenfeng had risked his life for them.

Gu Chenfeng lured the black-robed young man through a series of natural formations while fleeing across the ancient battlefield. As Gu Chenfeng entered another cave abode and began collecting its treasures, his pursuer wondered whether he was a formation Great Grandmaster.

• Gu Chenfeng reached the ancient battlefield and led the black-robed young man toward a cave abode protected by a natural formation.
• The young man struck Gu Chenfeng and sent him crashing into the ground, but Gu Chenfeng entered the formation and reached the cave abode without triggering it.
• The young man entered the storm formation and struggled against its power while Gu Chenfeng escaped from the cave abode through a heap of rocks.

• Gu Chenfeng broke into the second cave abode and began gathering treasures, leaving the young man to wonder if he was a formation Great Grandmaster.

Gu Chenfeng used his past knowledge of the ancient battlefield’s formations and cave abodes to evade Tu Ling while plundering treasures and materials for the Nirvana Heaven-Connecting Pill. After Tu Ling destroyed several of his defensive treasures and injured him, Gu Chenfeng rushed into a cave abode hidden deep in a mountain ravine.

• Tu Ling pursued Gu Chenfeng through the ancient space, frustrated by how easily Gu Chenfeng navigated its natural formations and plundered its cave abodes.

• Gu Chenfeng ignored Tu Ling’s threats and smashed through the stone doors of a cave abode hidden in a mountain ravine.

Gu Chenfeng used ancient treasure armor found in the cave abodes to survive Tu Ling’s pursuit and obtained Ten-Thousand-Year Purple Gold Grass for the Nirvana Heaven-Connecting Pill. Just as he prepared to escape the Ancient Battlefield Space, Xuehun and two Soul Devouring Beast powerhouses arrived, leaving him surrounded by enemies.

• Tu Ling struck Gu Chenfeng with black sword qi, but an ancient treasure backplate blocked the blow and let Gu Chenfeng escape.

• Gu Chenfeng entered the deepest cave abode and found Ten-Thousand-Year Purple Gold Grass, one of the main ingredients for the Nirvana Heaven-Connecting Pill.
• Gu Chenfeng planned to flee toward the exit, hoping to reach the territory of the Human and Demon Races and meet reinforcements.
• Xuehun and two middle Source Venerable Realm Soul Devouring Beast powerhouses arrived, and Tu Ling taunted Gu Chenfeng as the enemies closed in.

With Tu Ling, Xuehun, and two other powerhouses closing in, Gu Chenfeng fled to a cave in the Primordial Battlefield, hoping to reach a sealed Core Region. He found a black stone wall instead of the bronze door he remembered, then discovered the Barbarian God’s marks on it and began striking one until it reacted faintly as his pursuers approached.

• Gu Chenfeng fled through the natural formations toward a cave at the far end of the Primordial Battlefield, while Tu Ling and his three companions pursued him.
• Gu Chenfeng reached the cave’s end and found a smooth black stone wall where he had expected to find a bronze door.
• Gu Chenfeng discovered fine scratches on the wall bearing the Barbarian God’s Heaven’s Mandate Nine Strikes aura and sensed a hidden energy fluctuation in the deepest mark.
• Gu Chenfeng struck the mark with his Mystic Ice Giant Axe, the Earth-Slaying Chapter, and Azure Dragon Power, making the wall tremble and its energy grow clearer.
• Tu Ling heard the impacts from the low mountain, grew wary, and intensified his assault on the natural formations to reach Gu Chenfeng.

Gu Chenfeng used his Primordial Spirit to break through the Barbarian God's mark and vanished into the stone wall as Tu Ling and Xuehun reached the cave. He awoke in a vast starry space, where a mysterious marquis chose him for a trial despite his insufficient strength.

• Gu Chenfeng unleashed his strongest axe strike and sent his Primordial Spirit into the Profound Ice Battle Axe, finally triggering the mark on the stone wall.

Gu Chenfeng entered a mysterious starfield trial and was tasked with killing nine powerful true spirits. The spirits overwhelmed and destroyed his starlight body, but he chose to continue the challenge.

• Gu Chenfeng regained control of a starlight body on a vast black crystal platform and learned that he had to kill nine true spirits matching his cultivation realm.
• Qiongqi and White Tiger attacked first, and Gu Chenfeng discovered that their bloodline strength gave them Source Venerable-level combat power.
• Gu Chenfeng used his strongest secret arts to suppress the first three true spirits, but Vermilion Bird and additional spirits joined the battle and turned the tide against him.
• Six true spirits overwhelmed Gu Chenfeng, tore apart his starlight body, and caused the first challenge to fail.
• Back in the starry sky, Gu Chenfeng wondered whether the Barbarian God had passed the trials, then declared that he wanted to continue the challenge.

Gu Chenfeng repeatedly challenged the nine true spirits, dying each time but using meditation and the Phantom Martial Divine Ruins to strengthen his Secret Arts and refine his tactics. After two years of steady improvement, he entered the arena again and declared that this would be his final challenge.

• Gu Chenfeng killed Qiongqi with a powerful axe strike and an Azure Dragon claw, but the other eight true spirits attacked together and tore him apart.
• After several more failed attempts, Gu Chenfeng stopped to calm himself and concluded that he needed to improve his strength, strategy, and understanding of the trial.
• Gu Chenfeng fought the true spirits without rushing to kill them, honing his Secret Arts and studying their abilities before being overwhelmed and killed again.
• Gu Chenfeng used the Enlightenment Platform in the Phantom Martial Divine Ruins to review each battle and improve, repeating the cycle of combat and meditation.
• Over two years, Gu Chenfeng lasted longer and grew stronger in each attempt, then entered the arena again and called it his last challenge.

Gu Chenfeng used his hard-won mastery of his secret arts to defeat five of the nine true spirits and then battled Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise. As the fight reached a stalemate, he unleashed Five Elements Sealing Heaven against the four remaining opponents.

• Gu Chenfeng lured Qiongqi, Kui Niu, Xiangliu, and Lu Wu to the edge of the arena, then killed them with Earth-Slaying Sky-Splitting and Dragon Soul Suppresses the World.

• Gu Chenfeng met Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise in battle, and the five fought for hundreds of exchanges without either side gaining an advantage.
• Gu Chenfeng circulated five kinds of law power and unleashed Five Elements Sealing Heaven against the four divine beasts.

• Gu Chenfeng destroyed the four remaining true spirits with his attacks and Sealing Heaven Hand Seal, passing the first trial and regaining his body and possessions.

• After ten years without progress, Gu Chenfeng gave up hope of understanding the art, stopped caring about the outside world, and emptied his mind.
• After an unknown length of time spent in silence, the Five Elements law power in Gu Chenfeng's dantian stirred and woke him.

Gu Chenfeng spent decades mastering the basics of the Starry Sky Divine Sense Art in an illusion, transforming his Primordial Spirit before meeting the legacy’s owner, Marquis Yu.

• The man identified himself as Marquis Yu and explained that the Eternal Heaven Realm had been destroyed tens of thousands of years earlier, forcing him to flee to the Lower Realm while the Four Races pursued him.

• Marquis Yu recounted how three marquisates and the Four Clans had overthrown his dynasty, forcing him to flee to the Seven Star Continent, where he later died fighting his pursuers.

• Gu Chenfeng hesitated to accept the decree, and Marquis Yu confirmed that the gifts came with conditions and that Gu Chenfeng would have to do certain things for him.

Gu Chenfeng accepted Marquis Yu’s legacy and swore a Blood Pact to fulfill three demanding conditions, after learning the inheritance marked him as a target of the Three Marquisates and the Four Races. Marquis Yu revealed that a secret treasure had destroyed his dynasty before his remnant soul vanished, leaving Gu Chenfeng to return to the Seven Star Continent and eventually seek the hidden treasure and the Path to Immortality.

• Marquis Yu demanded that Gu Chenfeng destroy the Four Great Clans, aid the Feathered Ascension Divine Dynasty’s descendants, and avenge the dynasty against three enfeoffed marquis experts.

• Marquis Yu’s remnant soul vanished after directing Gu Chenfeng to break through the bronze door and asking him to seek the legendary Path to Immortality.

Gu Chenfeng failed to break the bronze doors and realized he needed to reach the Immortal Realm to escape. While searching Marquis Yu’s ruined hall for the missing ingredient needed to refine a Nirvana Heaven-Connecting Pill, he discovered myriad mother origin crystal fragments in the Emperor’s Throne.

• Gu Chenfeng promised to fulfill Marquis Yu’s request if he reached the Eternal Heaven Realm, then tried and failed to break the bronze doors.

• Gu Chenfeng searched Marquis Yu’s hall and discovered myriad mother origin crystal fragments embedded in the Emperor’s Throne.

• Gu Chenfeng used the Guixu Cauldron to extract the Myriad Mother Origin Crystal from Marquis Yu's Emperor's Throne and refine the pill's other ingredients.

• As Panyue began to voice doubts that Gu Chenfeng would return, a young, icy voice declared that Big Brother was not dead and that the speaker could sense him.

Gu Chenfeng completed the ninth-grade Nirvana Heaven-Connecting Pill and began his breakthrough to the Immortal Realm while the war between the Four Races and the Human-Demon alliance intensified. Meanwhile, Tu Ling and Xuehun received a secret mission to use the Blood Abyss Void-Escaping Shuttle to strike a vulnerable force in the Seven Star Alliance, targeting the sect Gu Chenfeng left behind.
