Mu Bai consolidated the Origin Realm’s forces while Qingtian emerged from Heavenly Demon Hall as the Luo Tian Supreme and helped defeat Hai Chen’s forces. Hai Chen released his followers and prepared for a final, fair battle with Mu Bai, his brother.
Hai Chen and Mu Bai prepared for their final battle, each joined by the woman he loved as two vast armies arrived at the Dao Sea. Mu Bai reunited with his allies and embraced Xing Yun and Ye Wan, while the gathering awaited the showdown.
Mu Bai's allies gathered to bid him farewell, and he mourned as several old companions reached the ends of their lives. The chapter ended with Red Dance and Golden Roc dying together in a final dance of flames.
As Mu Bai prepared to face Hai Chen, he granted Hong Luo Perfection and entrusted Chen Shichong with his Reincarnation Sword. The Immortal Realm's Emperor's Son arrived with five divine beasts and eighteen Golden Immortals, bringing Mu Bai's final battle close.
Hai Chen confronted Mu Bai and demanded that he overcome the eighteen Golden Immortals and five divine beasts before they could fight. As the Origin Realm’s cultivators gathered to face the Golden Immortals, Hai Chen singled out Chen Shichong for a duel and offered Emperor Ye Hua’s White Dragon Water Sword as the prize.
Chen Shichong challenged Hai Chen’s Golden Immortal slave to win back the White Dragon Water Sword, while Mu Bai and Hai Chen faced off as brothers. Chen Shichong used his mastery of the five elements to ambush the Golden Immortal, but was exposed and left battered as golden swords closed in on him.
Chen Shichong killed a Golden Immortal and won back the White Dragon Water Sword, but his mortal wounds left him dead after he gave a wisp of his soul to the Reincarnation Sword. As Mu Bai grieved, Qingtian challenged Hai Chen and faced the White Tiger divine beast.
Mu Bai fought and killed Hai Chen’s divine White Tiger, then consumed its Primordial Spirit and advanced his metal-element Origin Power to Mahayana. As Qi Zhenzi, Madam Seven Emotions, and Yuyusheng attacked Hai Chen’s remaining divine beasts, the battle widened.
The Origin Realm's Supremes launched a sudden assault on Hai Chen's divine beasts so Mu Bai could refine their Primordial Spirits and reach Mahayana in the Five Elements. By dawn, Mu Bai had refined three Primordial Spirits, Hai Chen had also revealed a Five Elements mark, and Qingtian was still battling Kirin for the final one.
Qingtian defeated and killed the divine beast Kirin, then Hai Chen attacked him before Mu Bai intervened. Mu Bai refined Kirin’s Primordial Spirit to complete the Five Elements and attain Mahayana, and the final battle between him and Hai Chen began.
Mu Bai and Hai Chen fought a prolonged battle, revealing that both had perfected the five elements and comprehended the samsara great dao. As Hai Chen gained the upper hand with his Transmigration Spear and golden gauntlet, Mu Bai summoned the Three-Legged Crow Cauldron to strike back.
Mu Bai fought Hai Chen with the Three-Legged Crow Cauldron but was driven toward defeat by Hai Chen’s treasures and Golden Dragon. He summoned the Origin Realm’s World Tree and drew on the realm’s vitality to escape Hai Chen’s strongest attack, but the attack severely wounded the will of heaven and earth.
Lu Ming sacrificed himself to restore the Origin Realm’s soul, allowing its destruction to stop as Mu Bai resumed his battle with Hai Chen. After their strongest attacks left them both badly wounded, Li Muxue seized control of Mu Bai’s World Tree, and Mu Bai died.
Li Muxue revealed that she had used Mu Bai and Hai Chen to claim their destinies, then absorbed Rao Lin and Tao Hang and began merging the Origin Realm with her Inner World. She left Qi Zhenzi, Yuyusheng, and the other Supremes under her control as they turned on one another.
Mu Bai defeated Li Muxue and spared the Origin Realm, then entrusted its future to Qingtian before leaving with the auras of his old companions. He lived peacefully with them through recurring lifetimes, while a baby boy was born in the Wang Household in the Immortal Realm.
