Wang Ba and Buddha Lord Tianshang clashed inside the eight Dharma Realms, where Tianshang used the Buddha statues to capture the fleeing cultivators and overwhelm the chaos azure fox. Wang Ba was pulled into the Lotus Flower Buddha Kingdom, leaving the battle and the fate of his companions unresolved.

• The eight Buddha statues attacked the chaos azure fox from three directions, and its Chaos Divine Light failed to damage their hands.
• Buddha Lord Tianshang used the Lotus Flower Buddha Kingdom’s suction to pull Gai True Person, Madam Hua, the burly bald man surnamed Jiao, and other Hinayana cultivators inside.

• Wang Ba bowed to Gai True Person and the assembled cultivators and asked them to help him open Sea-Cutting Cliff.

Wang Ba agreed to pursue Gai’s alternative plan to defeat the Supreme True Buddha, and Bai Liaochan proposed disrupting the Three Great Dharma Realms’ convergence, prompting Wang Ba to think of a possible way.

• Wang Ba told the gathered cultivators that six supreme treasures could open Sea-Cutting Cliff if six Mahayana cultivators controlled them.

He then tried to combine the six Nether-Penetrating Staffs, provoking the Boundary Sea Origin before the staffs were forced apart, and vanished after considering what had happened.

• Wang Ba urged Bai Liaochan to prepare his secret method for striking Buddha Lord Tianshang, while Celestial Lord Chao proposed helping Wang Ba’s Eight-Tailed Celestial Fox advance to the ninth tier.

• Wang Ba returned to the ruins and learned from Cheng Lianzi that Laowen Sect’s patriarch had believed them to be an immortal’s remains.

• Wang Ba spoke with No Return, whose confused memories flared into turmoil until Wang Ba calmed him and suggested that the Ghost Immortal Dao had eroded his True Spirit.

• Wang Ba and the other cultivators tried to sever the conduits, but their attacks had no effect, and No Return warned that the accelerating merger meant they had to retreat.

Wang Ba and Kongchanzi disrupted the Three Great Dharma Realms’ supply lines, but Buddha Lord Tianshang sacrificed Buddhist subjects and the Nine Former Buddha Lords to force their unification. Xiahou Heavenly Demon then emerged from among the Buddha Seeds and escaped with Shen Fu and other monks, while Wang Ba and his allies kept attacking the opening in the realms’ defenses.

• Kongchanzi used the True Emptiness Staff to shatter the blood vessels nourishing the Three Great Dharma Realms, briefly weakening their Tibo Phantom.

• Wang Ba ordered the others to flee, but Tianshang sealed the void and disabled their Teleportation Arrays as Wang Ba tried to gather his allies.
• Chao Shi intercepted Tianshang’s attack to save Wang Ba, and Gai True Person struck with his sword to help Wang Ba, Celestial Lord Chao, Madam Hua, and the bald-headed man surnamed Jiao escape.
• Gai True Person revealed that his sword strike had exhausted his life and asked Wang Ba to take the group back; Wang Ba gathered them into his sleeve and raced for the passage with the Chaos Azure Fox.
• No Return of the Ruins of Zhangshi blocked Tianshang’s pursuing attack, giving Wang Ba and the others time to enter the passage, and then followed as it closed.

Wang Ba proposed moving the Great Realms away from the Sea-Cutting Cliff to escape Buddha Lord Tianshang, but his attempt to open the Immortal Pass failed. After the Sea-Cutting Cliff’s plague toxin attacked the man surnamed Jiao, Wang Ba realized how the Three Great Dharma Realms had dispelled it and declared he had found a way to deal with Buddha Lord Tianshang.

• Bai Liaochan said Buddha Lord Tianshang’s unified Dharma Realm made him nearly impossible to defeat, while allies from distant regions could not arrive in time.

• Wang Ba and five other Mahayana cultivators used the Six Staffs to open a tiny breach in Sea-Cutting Cliff, but overwhelming suction and exhaustion forced them to stop.
• Wang Ba sent a speck of spiritual light through the closing breach and concluded that they needed more cultivators to sustain an opening.
• Wang Ba assigned the others to summon reinforcements, help the Eight-Tailed Celestial Fox advance, and strengthen their defenses, and everyone accepted his leadership.

Wang Ba reunited with Shen Fu in the Void Demon Realm, but Shen Fu chose to remain there and pursue his own path. As the cultivators prepared to break Sea-Cutting Cliff before Buddha Lord Tianshang could attack, Gai True Person sacrificed his life, and Wang Ba called on everyone to join him in breaking through.

• Wang Ba met Shen Fu, who explained that he had found his own path in the Void Demon Realm and refused to return with him.

• Gai True Person relinquished his life, leaving a spark of True Spirit in Bai Liaochan's hand, while Madam Hua and the others resolved to face Tianshang.
• Wang Ba told Xiahou Heavenly Demon that they might be the tallest ones, summoned six staffs, and urged everyone to form the formation and break through Sea-Cutting Cliff.

• Ba True Person, True Person Nie, and hundreds of cultivators arrived to reinforce the formations, but the vortex continued growing and the suction increased.
• The Lord of the Still Cave arrived with Xuanyuanzi and an enormous host of World Eaters, and Wang Ba greeted them with relief.

Wang Ba and the assembled cultivators used the Six Staffs, Primordial Gods and Devils, and World Eaters to widen a breach in Sea-Cutting Cliff while Buddha Lord Tianshang attacked them. As the exhausted group struggled to hold the opening, a giant bird appeared from the other side, and Fanming’s voice asked whether they had arrived too late.

• The Primordial Gods and Devils sacrificed World Eaters to feed the Six Staffs, widening the opening in Sea-Cutting Cliff as the cultivators took elixirs and endured its growing suction.
• Buddha Lord Tianshang struck at Wang Ba’s group, but Wu Ape King blocked the attack with a memorial tablet, turning its power into nourishment for the Six Staffs.
• Buddha Lord Tianshang’s attack prompted No Return to fight him, while Wang Ba realized he could borrow strength from the Four Great Realms.
• Bai Liaochan was swept into the vortex, and the Lord of the Still Cave caught him as Wang Ba took control of the Wind-Driving Staff; Madam Hua pulled the bald-headed man surnamed Jiao to safety and took over the True Fire Staff.
• The vortex’s currents suddenly slowed, and a giant bird’s head emerged through the opening as Fanming asked whether they had arrived too late.

Wang Ba redirected the Four Great Realms’ power through the six great staffs to help open Sea-Cutting Cliff, while Fanming and the Zhou Tian One-Qi Formation struggled against the vortex. As the Four Great Realms supplied Primal Chaos Source Substance, Buddha Lord Tianshang attacked their formation, but the Ruins of Zhangshi and a Green-Robed Young Woman intervened, and she escaped through a cave filled with Death Qi.

• Fanming and the cultivators of the Sea of Boundary Turmoil emerged from the vortex’s Primal Chaos Source Substance, but their Zhou Tian One-Qi Formation could not free Fanming from Sea-Cutting Cliff.
• Wang Ba transferred control of the six great staffs to Zhao Feng and the other cultivators, then sent the Buddha Realm, Silkworm Dragon Realm, Void Demon Realm, and Cloud-Heaven Realm cultivators back to their realms.
• Wang Ba connected four staffs to pillars of light from the Four Great Realms, which supplied Primal Chaos Source Substance and caused the vortex to expand.
• Buddha Lord Tianshang attacked the formation protecting the Four Great Realms, but the Ruins of Zhangshi interrupted him and sent a black-haired monster toward him.
• A Green-Robed Young Woman appeared and struck Buddha Lord Tianshang with divine light from her right golden double pupil, then vanished through a cave leading into Death Qi.

Wang Ba and the cultivators of the Boundary Sea used the Four Great Realms and their own lives to destroy Sea-Cutting Cliff, while Buddha Lord Tianshang attacked the realms. As the vortex swallowed Wang Ba, Yao Wudi rescued him, and Chonghua emerged from the Buddhist light alive.

• Wang Ba linked the Four Great Realms to the four staffs, using their connection to Sea-Cutting Cliff to accelerate its collapse.
• Buddha Lord Tianshang broke the formation protecting the Four Great Realms, but their leaders and millions of cultivators joined forces to keep the pillars of light standing.
• Buddha Lord Tianshang attacked the Silkworm Dragon Realm as the Chaos Azure Fox, the Ruins of Zhangshi, and others tried to stop him.
