Li Xian entered the Taiyuan Universe disguised as Mo Lin, adapting his power to its laws before heading to the Heavenly Dragon Race’s territory. When an Azure-Scaled Lineage Overlord berated him over the deaths of Qing Chi and Dao Master Qing Yu, Li Xian rejected Mo Lin’s submissive role, seized the Overlord, and demanded to be taken to the Reincarnation Dao Ancestor.

Li Xian, posing as Mo Lin, killed Qingke and several others while demanding to see the Reincarnation Supreme, then pressed on toward the Azure-Scaled Lineage’s ancestral grounds. He was confronted there by the Heavenly Dragon Race’s clan leader, Qingcang, as Li Xian reflected on how thoroughly the black-scaled lineage had been oppressed.

• Li Xian stripped Qingke of his scales, learned that the Reincarnation Supreme had left an era ago, and crushed Qingke to death when he could not provide the Supreme’s location.
• Nearby immortals condemned Li Xian for killing Qingke and discussed turning his Great Dao into materials, while Li Xian continued toward the Azure-Scaled Lineage’s ancestral grounds.
• An enforcement elder challenged Li Xian and blamed his rise to Overlord on the Reincarnation Supreme’s help, so Li Xian bound and killed him with the Spear of Myriad Things and Beings.

As Tianguang and Xuanmo confronted him near the Chaos Void, the Reincarnation Supreme arrived and demanded that he admit his guilt.

• Li Xian unleashed his Fission State Sword of All Beings and Myriad Things against the Reincarnation Supreme’s Azure Profound Wheel, which absorbed the sword’s power and grew stronger.
• Qingcang ordered the Heavenly Dragon Race to evacuate its ancestral land as the battle threatened to destroy it, while Dao Ancestors watched and considered exploiting the conflict.

• The Reincarnation Supreme drew on the Great Dao of Reincarnation to halt Li Xian’s attack, creating a stalemate that revealed the Dao’s mysteries to him.
• Li Xian studied the Azure Profound Wheel at close range and realized that creation and destruction were both forms of a world whose essence persisted as eternal energy.

Dizun Overlord learned that Li Xian had become a powerful Overlord in only two eras and set out to investigate a way to deal with him. Meanwhile, Li Xian fought Reincarnation Supreme above the Heavenly Dragon Race, revealed himself as an otherworldly Overlord, and faced a united attack from Taiyuan’s Dao Ancestors.

• Li Xian confirmed that he was an otherworldly Overlord, then broke free of Reincarnation Supreme’s attack and charged at Karma Supreme.

• Li Xian gathered the endlessly cycling power of the Heaven-Opening Art and slashed into the phantom formed by the Taiyuan Universe’s Great Daos.

Li Xian forced the Taiyuan Universe’s Dao Ancestors to negotiate, then accepted a Taiyuan Treasure Boat in exchange for leaving after the Karma Supreme demonstrated the Dao of Karma. Unable to focus on comprehending karma, Li Xian ended the demonstration and prepared to take his companions back to the Heaven’s Mandate Universe.

• Li Xian’s Heaven-Opening Arts clashed with the phantom Taiyuan Universe, and the resulting destruction collapsed the battlefield universe before the Soul Supreme called for a halt.
