Li Xian learned the Heaven-Severing Art, which could forcibly open the Immortal Realm Gate and force True Immortals across the world to ascend or flee. The Great Luo Immortal Sect prepared to use the Tianyuan Sect’s fortune to activate it, while the chapter ended as the immense gate began to open.

• Lingxu taught Li Xian the Heaven-Severing Art and explained that the Tianyuan Sect’s remaining fortune could power it for several decades to a century.

After Tianyuan Sect forced open the Immortal Realm Gate, Mo Yuanxing died resisting Liu Xianyi, who escaped into the Immortal Realm after ordering the Nine Heavens Sacred Ground to target Li Xian and Ziyuan. As Lu Linyuan and the other True Immortals departed, they left Li Xian in charge of the Great Luo Immortal Sect, while rival factions began mobilizing for the coming chaos.

• Lu Linyuan told Li Xian that the True Immortals would leave the world and advised him to watch for chances to seize other sects’ resources, especially the Nine-Realm Treasure Tree.
• Yue Jiuxiao and Mo Yuanxing celebrated opening the Immortal Realm Gate, then agreed to leave their successors decades of time to prepare.

Li Xian left Miro Heaven and learned that the Demon Race had invaded the Falling Star Sea, prompting the provisional Supreme Elders Council to debate retreating. He overruled the cautious plan and decided to lead the Great Luo Immortal Sect’s elite forces to drive the demons back.

• Li Xian finished cultivating in Miro Heaven, reflected on how to strengthen his true body, and went to seek Ziyuan before their thirty-year appointment.
• Li Xian discovered that Xuanling and the True Immortals had left, leaving the sect’s formations and institutions without their usual support.

• Li Xian announced that he would personally lead the sect’s elite to the Falling Star Sea and sweep the demons away.

Li Xian overruled the Great Luo Immortal Sect elders and headed for the Falling Star Sea, where he fought the demon invasion and rescued the Dragon Roar from a horde led by Heavenly Demons. Elder Tianfeng then warned him that Immortal Wandering Island was a trap targeting Flame Furnace Fortress’s reinforcements.

• Li Xian insisted on leading the response to the Falling Star Sea, splitting the sect’s forces and appointing Nangong Feixu as his representative on the Supreme Elders Council.
• Li Xian traveled ahead, protected Xuanming Island by killing Demon Kings and stronger demons, and realized that the invasion could only be stopped by defeating the demon main force.
• Li Xian spotted the Dragon Roar under attack, killed the Heavenly Demon threatening it, and slaughtered the three Heavenly Demon leaders with his sword techniques.
• Elder Tianfeng told Li Xian that Immortal Wandering Island was a trap designed to lure and ambush Flame Furnace Fortress’s reinforcements.

Li Xian slaughtered nearly all the Heavenly Demons who had attacked Immortal Wandering Island, then declared that the Great Luo Immortal Sect would take the fight to the Demon Race. He revealed that he had let the Kunpeng Heavenly Demon Fantian escape so he could track the demons to their hiding place, and the chapter left Tong Hu, Xie Cangyun, and the others ready to follow him into battle.

• After Ying Chi died, the fleeing Heavenly Demons lost their will to fight, but Li Xian pursued and killed them while ordering Xie Cangyun, Tong Hu, and the other Loose Immortals to intercept the escapees.
• Fantian threatened that the Demon Race would destroy the Great Luo Immortal Sect, then fled; Li Xian killed the Heavenly Demon delaying him but chose to slaughter the other fleeing demons rather than pursue Fantian immediately.
• Li Xian returned to Immortal Wandering Island and killed the six Heavenly Demons held by the four Loose Immortals, leaving nearly all the attackers dead and ordering the corpses gathered as spoils.

• Li Xian argued that the Great Luo Immortal Sect had to fight back and vowed to make the Falling Star Sea forbidden ground for demons; Tong Hu, Xie Cangyun, and the others rallied behind his plan.

Li Xian pursued the heavenly demons alone, killing a force of twenty-eight before the Great Luo Immortal Sect reinforcements learned how many demons he had already slain. He then established a detection formation at an abandoned island, preparing to ambush any reinforcements entering Falling Star Sea.

• Li Xian ordered Xie Cangyun and the Loose Immortals to guard Immortal Wandering Island and hunt nearby demons while he pursued the Heavenly Demon Kunpeng.

• Youxuan rejected Heavenly Demon Kunpeng’s advice to retreat and sought reinforcements, declaring that the Great Luo Immortal Sect had to be destroyed.
• Li Xian set up a formation at an abandoned island to detect powerful beings across more than a hundred thousand li, intending to ambush Demon Race reinforcements entering Falling Star Sea.

Li Xian intercepted fifty-four Heavenly Demons alone and used his mastery of several Dao to destroy their battle formation and slaughter them. As the survivors tried to flee, they discovered they could not escape him.

• Li Xian realized the Great Dao of Karma could link different Dao and help him unite the paths of Great Luo, Limitlessness, and primordial unity.
• Lingxu detected a cluster of Heavenly Demons, and Li Xian left it to monitor the formation while he went to intercept them.
• Li Xian appeared before fifty-four Heavenly Demons and unleashed Void Collapse before they could complete their battle formation.
• Li Xian warped space-time with his Cosmic Light Sword Intent, then pursued and killed Heavenly Demons who survived the Void Collapse.
• The remaining Heavenly Demons tried to retreat, but Li Xian's speed and escape arts left them unable to flee.

Li Xian slaughtered wave after wave of Heavenly Demons, prompting the Three Great Clans and two neighboring clans to assemble an army of over eight hundred and march on the Great Luo Immortal Sect. After Li Xian broke Youxuan’s battle formation and helped the sect destroy the remaining demons, he ordered the Loose Immortals to defend the Falling Star Sea while he set out to carry the war into the Demon Race’s heartland.

• Li Xian killed more than two hundred Heavenly Demons across successive attacks, and the Three Great Clans learned that their reinforcements had disappeared.
• The Three Great Clans rallied with the Fuzhu Clan and Huashe Clan, sending over eight hundred Heavenly Demons toward the Falling Star Sea.
• Li Xian arrived at the battlefield and learned that the demon army was approaching, then decided to break Youxuan’s formation himself.
• Li Xian used his Great Accomplishment Sword Domain to destroy Youxuan’s mental world, allowing the Great Luo Immortal Sect’s Loose Immortals to rout and kill the remaining fifty-eight Heavenly Demons.
• Li Xian ordered Huo Guang, Ning Sirong, Gu Xingye, and the others to hold the junction with the Flame Furnace Fortress while he vowed to invade the Demon Race’s heartland.

The Demon Race army attacked the Flame Furnace Fortress, where Ning Sirong and Huo Guang rallied the Great Luo Immortal Sect’s Loose Immortals to resist. Meanwhile, Li Xian raided the Demon clans’ heartlands, killing nearly two hundred Heavenly Demons in two months and forcing the rear clans to call for help from the front line.

• Li Xian returned to the Yingyu Clan and killed more demons, bringing his Heavenly Demon death toll close to two hundred in two months.
• The terrified clans in the rear appealed to the Demon Race army at the Flame Furnace Fortress for aid.

Li Xian’s attacks on the Demon Race’s heartlands forced the five clans to abandon their assault on the Flame Furnace Fortress and retreat to defend their strongholds. After returning, he revealed that he had killed over a hundred Xiangliu Clan Heavenly Demons, but his warning that the threat might not be over left the Great Luo Immortal Sect bracing for what came next.

• At the Demon Race encampment, Youhai’s commanders argued over their failures and questioned whether they could break the Flame Furnace Fortress.
• Messengers reported that Li Xian was ravaging the Kunpeng and Yingyu heartlands, and the Xiangliu Clan also learned that it had suffered heavy losses.
• Huo Guang delivered Li Xian’s decree demanding that the Demon Race withdraw from the Falling Star Sea, and the Huashe, Fuzhu, Yingyu, and Kunpeng forces left the fortress.
• Youhai led the remaining Xiangliu forces away as well, while the Great Luo Immortal Sect celebrated driving off the invasion.
• After staying in the Demon Race’s heartlands for two more months, Li Xian returned to the Flame Furnace Fortress and gave Huo Guang a Storage Ring containing about two hundred Heavenly Demon bodies.
• Li Xian warned that the Xiangliu Clan might return and said he would remember Youhai’s parting threat.

After the Great Luo Immortal Sect repelled the Demon Race, Li Xian assigned the valuable Demon God Skeleton to Zhan Jiehui and set out for the Limitless Star Palace. Lingxu sensed that Li Xian’s fortune had greatly increased, and Li Xian realized the Purple Heavens Dao Palace might now be ready to acknowledge a master.

• The Great Luo Immortal Sect’s victory eased other factions’ concerns, while the Demon clans described their retreat as a strategic withdrawal and concealed their losses.
• Huo Guang and Ning Sirong calculated that the battle spoils were worth about eighty-six trillion merit points, including a Four-Turn Demon God Skeleton worth at least sixty trillion.
• Li Xian chose Zhan Jiehui, whose Heavenly Dragon True Body suited the skeleton, to receive it and grow stronger.
• Li Xian declined to pursue the Radiant Sun Immortal Sect immediately and left for the Limitless Star Palace to discuss the Way of Limitlessness with Ziyuan.
• Lingxu told Li Xian that his fortune had increased greatly, and Li Xian suspected the Purple Heavens Dao Palace could now acknowledge him as its master.

Li Xian mastered the Purple Heavens Dao Palace and discovered that its Great Dao Sound could temper his mind and soul, so he returned to the Great Luo Immortal Sect to cultivate. Meanwhile, the Nine Heavens Sacred Ground and Radiant Sun Immortal Sect planned to lure him into a trap, and Ziyuan arrived seeking a trade for access to a site that could perfect her Great Dao of Nihility.

• Li Xian refined the Purple Heavens Dao Palace, gained stronger spatial suppression and access to its Great Dao resonances, and found that its ultimate legacy remained unavailable to him.
• Li Xian used the Dao Palace's Great Dao Sound to strengthen his mind, will, and soul, then abandoned his planned visit to the Limitless Star Palace and entered seclusion.
• Di Que told Ye Yaoguang that Li Xian had killed nearly two hundred Heavenly Demons and urged the Radiant Sun Immortal Sect to eliminate him.
• Ye Yaoguang agreed to use the Nine Heavens Sacred Ground's World Chessboard and send Ye Ranjin into Great Luo Immortal Sect territory to draw Li Xian into a fight.
• After two months of training, Li Xian met Ziyuan, who asked whether the Great Luo Immortal Sect had a site for cultivating the Great Dao of Nihility and offered to trade for access.

Li Xian agreed to give Ziyuan the coordinates of the Myriad Stars Great World so she could cultivate the Great Dao of Nihility, and she promised him treasures and access to the Limitlessness World-Subduing Book. At the Limitless Star Palace, Li Xian studied the supreme treasure and gained a complete understanding of the Way of Limitlessness.

• Ziyuan offered the Limitlessness World-Subduing Book's insights, a nihility Dao Artifact, and a Void Realm Seed in exchange for the Myriad Stars Great World's coordinates, and Li Xian gave her the information.
• Ziyuan and Li Xian traveled to the Limitless Star Palace, where Acting Sect Master Caiyun welcomed them discreetly.
• Ziyuan told Li Xian that his earlier arrival had prompted her master to protect her from a Divine Firmament Sect attack by a Pure Yang True Immortal.
• Ziyuan showed Li Xian the Limitlessness World-Subduing Book and explained that Si Tianwen had once become a Limitlessness Celestial Immortal.
• Li Xian resonated with the Limitlessness World-Subduing Book and comprehended the mysteries of the Limitless Dao, the Great Dao of Nihility, and the Soul Great Dao.

Li Xian studied the Limitlessness cultivation paths at the Limitless Star Palace, then followed Lingxu’s signal to acquire one of its components and learned it was connected to the Nine Heavens Sacred Ground’s World Chessboard. After returning to the Great Luo Immortal Sect, he learned the Radiant Sun Immortal Sect was attacking.

• Li Xian finished studying the Limitlessness World-Subduing Book, exchanged gifts with Ziyuan, and prepared to return to his sect.
• Lingxu sensed a component near Plain Maiden Peak, so Li Xian asked Ziyuan to accompany him there and found Ye Fuyun arguing with Xiao Yueting.
• Li Xian traded Ye Fuyun a Fifth-Realm Dharma Treasure for his family’s jade pendant and gave him Sword Intent to help him cultivate.
• Caiyun identified the pendant’s patterns as those of the World Chessboard, a Nine Heavens Sacred Ground treasure that could trap even a Pure Yang True Immortal.
• Li Xian returned to the Great Luo Immortal Sect, where Ning Sirong told him that the Radiant Sun Immortal Sect was attacking.

Li Xian learned that the Radiant Sun Immortal Sect was harassing Great Luo Immortal Sect territory under the threat of Ye Ranjin, and he rushed to the border despite Huo Guang and Ning Sirong’s warnings. He found six Loose Immortals besieging a protected city and its gold mine deep within the sect’s territory.

• Ning Sirong told Li Xian that the Radiant Sun Immortal Sect had Ye Ranjin, whose Destruction Divine Flame made him an overwhelming threat to Earth Immortals.
• Huo Guang warned Ning Sirong that Ye Ranjin’s harassment could be a trap designed to draw Li Xian into a fight, and both elders urged Li Xian to keep cultivating.
• Li Xian decided that defeating Ye Ranjin could provoke the Nine Heavens Sacred Ground into sending experts with the World Chessboard, so he declared he would defend the border and left immediately.
• Huo Guang ordered the others to gather and follow Li Xian, while Ning Sirong called after him but could not catch him.
• Li Xian sensed a battle in the 3,000 Vassal States, rushed to an Immortal City, and found six Loose Immortals besieging its formation while their followers plundered the city and gold mine.

Li Xian killed six Radiant Sun Immortal Sect Loose Immortals who were plundering the Great Luo Immortal Sect’s territory, then rushed to another resource site and killed the Earth Immortal Gu Xuangguang. Ye Ranjin arrived and attacked Li Xian with the Destruction Divine Flame, but Li Xian’s Eternal Blazing Sun endured as he challenged Ye Ranjin to intensify the flames.

• Lü Qing defended the Immortal City from six Radiant Sun Immortal Sect Loose Immortals until Li Xian arrived and killed them with Absolute Immortal Sword Qi.
• Li Xian ordered Lü Qing to deal with the invaders and demanded a map of hostile Loose Immortals from Lin Jiutian through the Message Transmission Formation.
• Li Xian reached a Gui Water river resource site, destroyed the plundering warship, and killed Gu Xuangguang before Ye Ranjin could stop him.
• Ye Ranjin struck Li Xian’s mental world with the Destruction Divine Flame, nearly overwhelming his Sword Domain and Eternal Blazing Sun.
• Li Xian resisted Ye Ranjin’s attack and urged him to make the Destruction Divine Flame burn brighter.

Ye Ranjin trapped Li Xian in the World Chessboard and unleashed the Destruction Divine Flame, but Li Xian used the attack to temper and transform his Sword Domain. The flames were purified by a newly formed Eternal Blazing Sun, leaving Ye Ranjin helpless.

• Ye Ranjin activated the World Chessboard to stop Li Xian from escaping and keep him trapped in its black-and-white world.
• Lingxu recognized the World Chessboard as a component of its main body and urged Li Xian to claim it.
• Ye Ranjin amplified his Destruction Divine Flame with Immortal Burning, but Li Xian's Eternal Blazing Sun endured the assault.
• Li Xian used the flames to expose flaws in his Sword Domain and temper it, while Ye Ranjin grew furious and burned himself as fuel for stronger attacks.
• Ye Ranjin detonated the Destruction Divine Flame and nearly destroyed Li Xian's Sword Domain, but Li Xian rebuilt it and his Eternal Blazing Sun grew brighter.
• Li Xian's new Eternal Blazing Sun purified the remaining flames, leaving Ye Ranjin pale and helpless.

Li Xian defeated Ye Ranjin after surviving his Destruction Origin strike, then hunted down the Radiant Sun Immortal Sect’s invading Loose Immortals. With the invasion force withdrawn and his allies gathered, Li Xian led them toward the Radiant Sun Immortal Sect to repay its attack in blood.

• Ye Ranjin invoked the Destruction Great Dao Origin in a final attack, but Li Xian used Cosmic Light Sword Intent to stretch the distance and escape its reach.
• The Destruction Origin consumed Ye Ranjin, who left Li Xian a regretful warning to kill someone he called “him.”
• Li Xian emerged from the World Chessboard alive, killed the remaining Loose Immortals around it, and pursued the Radiant Sun Immortal Sect’s invaders across the Great Luo Immortal Sect’s territory.
• Li Xian killed dozens of invading Loose Immortals before the Radiant Sun Immortal Sect ordered its forces to withdraw.
• Gu Xingye told Li Xian that the invaders had retreated, and Li Xian confirmed Ye Ranjin’s death to the gathered allies.
• Li Xian ordered his allies to follow him as he set out to storm the Radiant Sun Immortal Sect.

The Radiant Sun Immortal Sect learned that Ye Ranjin had died and Li Xian had survived their battle, then scrambled to prepare for his retaliation. Before their reinforcements could reach Golden Crow Fort, Li Xian infiltrated it and killed its defenders, leaving the sect’s forward stronghold fallen.

• Ye Yaoguang celebrated with Sacred Lord Di Que after hearing that Li Xian had been trapped in the World Chessboard.
• Fang Yang reported that Ye Ranjin and more than a dozen elders’ life lamps had gone out, and a hidden agent confirmed that the World Chessboard had dispersed with Li Xian unharmed.
• The Radiant Sun Immortal Sect received word that Li Xian was leading a large force into its territory, prompting Ye Yaoguang to organize a defense centered on Golden Crow Fort.
• The elders sent 108 Loose Immortals toward Golden Crow Fort while ordering their core members to withdraw to safety.
• Li Xian reached Golden Crow Fort ahead of the main force, entered with help from a hidden agent, killed its sixteen Loose Immortal defenders, and captured the fort.
