Servant Chancellor Niu Langchedan ordered a major reinforcement of the Sea of Oblivion campaign, while the Limitless Immortal Sect also sent troops to support its embattled forces. The Divine Cult reinforcements arrived first, turning the battle against the sect and leaving its disciples fighting for survival.

• Ouyang Feng sent severely wounded and exhausted disciples to recover while his remaining fighters held the line, and Wang Taiming led the reinforcements into battle.

Ye Xingchen secured the Longwind Sect and Flame Sun Sect’s support, formed a three-sect Allied Army, and led it toward the Outland Sea Island conflict. After the force assembled, he chose to attack the Divine Cult’s outlying islands while fighting and formation-breaking continued at the Ancient Cave Abode.

• After the army assembled, Ye Xingchen decided to attack the Divine Cult on the outlying islands rather than wait for it to strike the main islands.
• Ouyang Feng directed the fighting outside the Ancient Cave Abode while Xiang Zhongxiang and Li Dalong worked to break its formations; Cloud Glow Sect disciples suffered casualties inside.

As the Divine Cult’s assault devastated the Limitless Immortal Sect’s forces on Outland Sea Island, Niu Langchedan sent two hundred thousand troops to attack the three-sect allied army at Xujiang Town.

• Ye Xingchen ordered the allied troops to attack from the flanks, while Longwind Sect and Limitless Immortal Sect disciples fought fiercely and used self-detonations to break the Divine Cult’s momentum.
• Niu Langchedan sent Divine Envoys and suicide squads to the front, but his forces suffered heavy losses as the allied army overwhelmed them.

• Tianzhong Cizilang and Mochuan Neiku arrived with a hundred thousand Divine Cult reinforcements, and Zhao Qingxi and Hong Yu’s troops failed to stop them without heavy casualties.
• Ye Xingchen ordered Zhao Qingxi and Hong Yu to delay the reinforcements while his main force attacked Niu Langchedan’s encircled army.

• Ye Xingchen, Long Zongyuan, and Lei Zhenxiao returned to Xujiang Town with a little over one hundred and thirty thousand surviving disciples and mourned the Allied Army’s enormous losses.

Ye Xingchen prepared the Limitless Immortal Sect’s forces near the Ancient Cave Abode, then convened an Immortal Realm Alliance meeting to rally the continent’s sects against the Divine Cult. The meeting ended with small-faction leaders voicing suspicion that the three major sects were using the threat for their own advantage.

• Ye Xingchen placed Ouyang Feng in charge of gathering intelligence on the Divine Cult and arranged the Limitless Immortal Sect’s forces around the Ancient Cave Abode.
• Ye Xingchen handed command of the camp to Elder Li Shuxin and traveled to Xujiang Town to preside over the Alliance meeting.
• Ye Xingchen welcomed the assembled sect leaders and explained that the Divine Cult had massacred island residents, enslaved survivors, and still had at least seven hundred thousand powerful followers.

• The Three-Sect Allied Army withdrew to Lingxi Mountain after three costly battles, while the Divine Cult massacred over ten million cultivators on Outland Sea Island.

• The Allied Army launched its counterattack, with Lei Zhenxiao leading the first-front assault on Chichang City and receiving one hundred thousand reserve troops as support.

Lei Zhenxiao’s Allied Army besieged Chichang City, where Gouyao Tianhuang commanded the Divine Cult’s defense. After the Allied Army countered the Cult’s suicide attacks and committed fresh waves of troops, Gouyao Tianhuang sent another sixty thousand reserves to the walls as his confidence in holding the city waned.

• Lei Zhenxiao divided four hundred thousand allied troops and attacked Chichang City from the south, north, and west.
• Gouyao Tianhuang sent Fly-Crazy Death Squad disciples on suicide charges, but Lei Zhenxiao ordered ranged attacks that destroyed them before they reached the Allied Army.

• The Allied Army’s second-echelon troops joined the assault, overwhelming the Divine Cult reinforcements and inflicting heavy losses.
• Gouyao Tianhuang ordered a second wave of sixty thousand reserves to reinforce the walls, fearing that losing Chichang City would bring his own downfall.

Gouyao Tianhuang and Goushi Tianhuang struggled to hold their fronts as the Allied Army inflicted heavy losses, while Niu Langchedan prepared a major counterattack against the mainland. Goushi Tianhuang finally halted Long Zongyuan’s advance with a costly charge and formed a defensive line on the third small island.

• Gouyao Tianhuang summoned 150,000 troops to Chichang City, where the Divine Cult and Allied Army suffered enormous casualties in their struggle for the city.
• Long Zongyuan’s forces, strengthened by 80,000 elite Three Sects disciples, routed Goushi Tianhuang’s troops and captured islands.
• Niu Langchedan received an Insider’s plan to attack the Lingxi Mountain recruit base and mobilized 2.1 million troops, including forces to reinforce both Tianhuang brothers.
• Long Zongyuan’s army retook two more islands, while Goushi Tianhuang lost another 100,000 troops and repeatedly requested reinforcements.
• Goushi Tianhuang sacrificed 10,000 death squad members to halt the Allied Army, then formed a defensive line along the edge of the third small island.

Niu Langchedan led a concealed force of five hundred thousand Cult Disciples toward the Lingxi Mountain base, but his divine sense alerted Nangong Chaoyang and exposed the surprise attack. Nangong organized the base’s defenders and recruits, and the chapter ended with the Divine Cult launching a second wave against the still-standing defensive barrier.

• Gouyao Tianhuang worried that he could not hold Chichang City after his younger brother Goushi Tianhuang’s defeat and the Vice Minister’s planned attack on the mainland heartland.
• Niu Langchedan set out with five hundred thousand troops, ordered Mochuan Neiku to march on the base three days later with two hundred thousand reserves, and assigned the Main Island’s defense to Divine Envoy Jingbian Jiro.
• Niu Langchedan’s vanguard killed cultivators and high-level Demon Beasts along the route, allowing the army to approach within fifty li of the Lingxi Mountain base undetected.
• Niu Langchedan’s divine sense triggered an alert, so Nangong Chaoyang activated the base’s defensive formations and warned its personnel before ordering the recruits into combat.
• Nangong Chaoyang divided three hundred thousand recruits into six echelons and ordered Jiang Tian Long to lead the first against the attacking Divine Cult forces.
• The Divine Cult’s first wave struck the barrier but failed to break through, and Niu Langchedan sent a second wave toward the Lingxi Mountain base.

Ye Xingchen organized a relief force after the Divine Cult attacked the Lingxi Mountain base, while Gouyao Tianhuang and Goushi Tianhuang prepared to escape the Allied Army’s encirclement at Chichang City. The breakout began when Sugimoto Ichirō led a charge through the southern gate.

• Nangong Chaoyang reported the Lingxi Mountain base’s attack to Ye Xingchen and advised him to reinforce it while guarding against an ambush.
