Wang Ba mourned Wang Xu and studied the True Martial Dao, while Wang Yi'an defied his father’s counsel and began facing tribulation lightning to follow his own path.

• Abbott Tai'e attacked Han Yanzi to seize the sixth-tier Sea Pearl, but the Undying Divine Tree thwarted his law seal and forced him to retreat.
• Han Yanzi ordered the Demon Sect to clear the area, then entered his secret realm and used the Sea Pearl to reveal an ascension method he resolved to follow.
• Shen Fu received Han Yanzi’s orders for a massive gathering of people and cultivators, which filled him with anguish before he renewed his determination to find someone.
• Wang Ba found Wang Xu dead, named him his third disciple, vowed to avenge him, and memorized the sixth-tier True Martial Sutra method from his blood.
• Wang Ba told Wang Yi'an to return and let the Martial Nation take its natural course, but Wang Yi'an chose to follow his own Dao and joined his Sword Dao cultivation with True Martial blood Qi.
• Wang Yi'an rose into the sky to face the gathering tribulation lightning as Wang Ba paused briefly before walking away.

Wang Ba helped Wang Yi'an unite Sword Dao and True Martial during his Spirit Transformation Tribulation, after which Wang Yi'an left for Emperor Pole Continent. As the Primordial Demon Sect expanded its attacks and moved toward Emperor Pole Continent, Zhao Feng kept the Myriad Phenomena Sect from intervening, and Palace Master Qin of the Yuan Magnetic Palace arrived seeking an audience.

• Wang Yi'an endured his Spirit Transformation Tribulation while Zhao Feng and Bu Chan watched, and Wang Ba gave him a Yin Fruit that let him merge Sword Dao and True Martial.

• Palace Master Qin of the Yuan Magnetic Palace requested an audience with Zhao Feng and the elders.

Qin Lingxiao urged Wang Ba to help the Martial Nation against Han Yanzi, but Wang Ba refused to risk the Myriad Phenomena Sect and treated Wang Yi'an’s resistance as a necessary sacrifice. After Qin Lingxiao left to aid True Martial, Han Yanzi trapped Heavenly Capital City and attacked the Qin Clan before they could seek the Myriad Phenomena Sect’s protection.

• Qin Lingxiao warned Zhao Feng that Han Yanzi had gone to Emperor Pole Continent, but Zhao Feng refused to commit his sect to the conflict.
• Qin Lingxiao visited Wang Ba in the Secret Realm and urged him to reinforce Wang Yi'an, but Wang Ba defended his choice to wait and gather information at the Martial Nation’s expense.
• Qin Lingxiao asked whether Bu Chan knew Wang Ba’s choice; Wang Ba confirmed that she did, and Qin Lingxiao left after hearing the words “inescapable calamity, withered wood meets spring.”
• Qin Lingxiao told Qin Shengyong that she would join the Wandering Immortal Temple and the Martial Nation against Han Yanzi, then departed for the Eightfold Sea.
• Qin Shengyong decided to bring the Qin Clan under the Myriad Phenomena Sect’s protection, but Han Yanzi’s blood-colored formation sealed Heavenly Capital City before they could leave.
• Han Yanzi ordered his forces to seize the Qin Clan, and Qin Yunjian and the other cultivators charged as blood and fire engulfed Heavenly Capital City.

Qin Lingxiao learned that the Yuan Magnetism Rail Man was being absorbed by the boundary membrane, then found Heavenly Capital City in ruins and the Qin Clan gone. As Han Yanzi’s forces moved against the Martial Nation, the old man in blue headed to confront Wang Yi'an at a coastal fort.

• The Yuan Magnetism Rail Man told Qin Lingxiao he would disappear within twenty or thirty years and gave her a powerful streak of divine light before sending her back to the surface.
• Qin Lingxiao sensed disaster in Heavenly Capital City and arrived to find it devastated, while reports confirmed that the Qin Clan had been abducted.

• The old man in blue sent Shen Fu away to recover and flew Changyang Divine Mountain to Emperor Pole Continent, where he met Wang Yi'an and identified him as Wang Ba’s son.

Shen Fu searched the Primordial Demon Sect for Han Yanzi’s hidden captives while Wang Ba urged Zhao Feng to accept the coming calamity, and Zhao Feng broke through into Spirit Transformation. On Emperor Pole Continent, Han Yanzi defeated the defenders and began a blood sacrifice, but Wang Ba finally appeared before him.

• Shen Fu returned to the Primordial Demon Sect and used a Netherblack Treasure Cauldron to search for Han Yanzi’s hidden captives.
• Wang Ba told Zhao Feng that he had foreseen both a great crisis and an opportunity, and Zhao Feng left the Bead Secret Realm to unleash his Sword Cultivator breakthrough.
• Wang Yi'an led the Martial Nation’s defenders against Han Yanzi, who overwhelmed them and bound Wang Yi'an, Qin Lingxiao, Abbott Tai'e, and the True Martial Practitioners.
• Abbott Tai'e was killed, while Qin Lingxiao became a blood mist and sent her Primordial Spirit west in a streak of Yuan Magnetism Divine Light.
• Han Yanzi activated the Blood Sacrifice Grand Formation, sacrificing the mortals, rogue cultivators, and True Martial Practitioners before turning Wang Yi'an into blood mist.
• Wang Ba appeared behind Han Yanzi, who recognized him and welcomed his arrival.

Wang Ba defeated Han Yanzi and learned that the Blood Sacrifice Grand Formation had already made the Boundary Membrane rupture on a vast scale. As World Eaters appeared beyond the collapsing sky, Wang Ba prepared to face the disaster, invoking his master.

• Wang Ba recovered Wang Yi'an’s Primordial Spirit and promised to take him home before confronting Han Yanzi atop the Blood Sacrifice Grand Formation.
• Wang Ba fused his Dao Domains and used the Heavenfall Saber to shatter Han Yanzi’s Blood Prison Dao Domain, then killed him after learning Shen Fu had destroyed Han Yanzi’s hidden ghost children.
• Shen Fu detonated the Primordial Mother True Artifact Cauldron to prevent Han Yanzi from possessing him, but Wang Ba arrived and extracted Han Yanzi’s True Spirit.
• Shen Fu chose to absorb Han Yanzi’s Blood Sea Dao Domain, while Wang Ba sent the sixth-tier Sea Pearl away and rushed to the formation on Emperor Pole Continent’s western coast.
• The Blood Sacrifice Grand Formation split the Boundary Membrane, and Wang Ba saw World Eaters gathering beyond the enormous rupture.

The collapse of the Little Cang Realm’s sky unleashed World Eaters across the realm as Wang Ba and the cultivators fought to hold them back. Wang Ba faced nine sixth-tier World Eaters, while an even greater beast began battering at the frozen boundary membrane.

• A blood-red pillar of light from Emperor Pole Continent reached a distant realm’s corpse, and a horned, six-fingered figure extinguished it before summoning the creatures around it toward the Little Cang Realm.
• The Myriad Phenomena Sect’s Spirit Transformation cultivators joined the Longevity Sect to fight World Eaters breaking through the sky, while Guan Ao deployed the Pheasant Dao Soldiers to hold off a fifth-tier perfection Blue-Eyed Fire Lion.
• Yuan Magnetism Rail Man uncovered the sixth-tier Sea Pearl, which revealed a way to escape, but he hesitated to act on it despite the white-robed female cultivator’s urging.
• Kongchanzi persuaded the Evil Gods to fight the World Eaters, and several hundred of them charged toward the breach with the War God leading them.
• Wang Ba froze the World Eaters crowding the breach, then sent Er Ya, Sanjin, Ding Ershier, the White Tiger, the Ghost-Eyed Chi Dragon, and the Five-Colored Divine Deer to intercept those that got through.
• Nine sixth-tier World Eaters smashed into the realm, and Wang Ba raised the Heavenfall Saber to meet them as an even larger beast began battering the boundary membrane.

As the Boundary Membrane collapsed, cultivators across the Little Cang Realm fought invading World Eaters, while Qin Lingxiao’s farewell helped Yuan Magnetism Rail Man break free of his confines. Wang Ba held the Emperor Pole Continent until an intelligent Dragon-Headed, Human-Bodied Monster entered the realm and claimed it.

• Zhao Feng rescued Qu Zhongqiu from a fifth-tier World Eater, while the five patriarchs helped Xumi fight a fifth-tier perfection enemy; then a sixth-tier World Eater struck Xumi down.
• The Wu Ape King received the Battle-Victorious Dharma Master’s mantle and led the monks away from the Great Snow Mountain Wheel-Turning Temple as a giant turtle swallowed the invading World Eaters above the frozen sea.
• The Female Cultivator asked Yuan Magnetism Rail Man whether his heart had ever stirred for her, embraced herself across two worlds, and faded into a white dragon that entered his palm as he began to step out of the void.
• Wang Ba used his frost-white saber to slay World Eaters, then combined his Dao Domain with the primal chaos dragon-elephant Dao Soldiers to destroy two sixth-tier mid-stage enemies.
• A Dragon-Headed, Human-Bodied Monster carrying a Pitch-Black Copper Staff broke through the ice and Boundary Membrane, declared the realm its own, and shocked Wang Ba with its intelligence.

The World Eaters overwhelmed the cultivators on the Wind-Approaching Continent, forcing them to bring out the Tribulation-Crossing Treasure Raft as casualties mounted. On Emperor Pole Continent, Wang Ba faced a powerful Primordial God and Devil while signs of a strange change appeared in the Azure Nether Mirror and across the boundary membrane.

• Guan Ao killed the Blue-Eyed Fire Lion, but the flesh-ball World Eater attacked him, swallowed Wang Qingyang, Yinghe, Ji Yuan, and others, and left Qu Shentong’s primordial spirit exposed to another World Eater.
• Hui Yunzi arrived through a tear in the boundary membrane, destroyed the World Eater that had taken Qu Shentong’s primordial spirit, and recovered Qu Shentong’s true spirit, but his attacks could not seriously harm the flesh-ball World Eater.
• Guan Ao called for the Tribulation-Crossing Treasure Raft, and Zhao Feng had Ling Weizi bring it forth as World Eaters swarmed the ship and its defenders; Hui Yunzi suppressed the attackers, but Ding Chun and Shen Ying were swallowed.
• As Zhao Feng fought near the besieged ship, the Azure Nether Mirror inside his robes trembled and began to shine.
• On Emperor Pole Continent, Wang Ba confronted a dragon-headed Primordial God and Devil whose bronze staff had barely been marked by Wang Ba’s strongest attack; the creature sent the surrounding World Eaters to attack him.
• The Ghost-Eyed Chi Dragon and the Five-Colored Divine Deer sensed something at the same time, and patches of boundary membrane trembled across the sky.

Zhao Feng and Wang Ba faced overwhelming World Eaters until Du Wei, Shao Yangzi, and other returning elders arrived and turned the battle around. After the elders welcomed Wang Ba, the dragon-headed Primordial God and Devil revived in a new form, and Shao Yangzi told Wang Ba to rest while they handled it.

• The Azure Nether Mirror froze the World Eaters around Zhao Feng, while Du Wei and other elders arrived to aid the besieged treasure ship and destroy thousands of creatures.
• Wang Ba evaded the dragon-headed Primordial God and Devil as it attacked him and threatened to unleash the World Eaters across the Emperor Pole Continent.
• An azure wind and purple lightning swept through the World Eaters, and an arrow struck the Primordial God and Devil while multiple Dao Domains pinned it down.
• Shao Yangzi, Yan Wenzheng, Ren Xiao, Lü Zhuang Mei, and other elders reunited with Wang Ba, who welcomed their return and asked after his master.
• The Primordial God and Devil revived as an enormous four-clawed evil dragon, but Shao Yangzi stopped Wang Ba from attacking and told him to leave the fight to them.

Du Wei and the others returned, Wu Ape King rescued the cultivators swallowed by the Flesh Mountain World Eater, and Patriarch Hui Yunzi recovered the true spirits of fallen cultivators. As Shao Yangzi explained how the departed cultivators had returned and the group subdued the remaining World Eaters, a colossal seventh-tier bird broke through the Boundary Membrane and swallowed the Evil Dragon, leaving Wang Ba to fly toward it and call out, “Fanming!”

• Du Wei, Chi Liequan, Wei Rong, and the others reunited with Ling Weizi’s group, then joined the effort to free cultivators trapped inside the Flesh Mountain World Eater.
• Wu Ape King arrived in the Great Buddha form, released Yinghe, Qingyang, and the other swallowed cultivators, and destroyed the Flesh Mountain World Eater.
• Patriarch Hui Yunzi gathered the true spirits of fallen cultivators into the Octagonal Box and said he would help replenish the damaged Boundary Membrane.
• Shao Yangzi told Wang Ba that the departed cultivators had remained conscious beyond the Boundary Membrane and returned temporarily when Han Yanzi’s attack shook it.
• Yan Wenzheng and the others subdued the Evil Dragon as Shao Yangzi seized the remaining World Eaters, but a colossal seventh-tier bird shattered the Boundary Membrane and swallowed the Evil Dragon.
• Wang Ba flew toward the giant bird and shouted, “Fanming! Do you still recognize me?”

Wang Ba lured Fanming into a battle with Xuanyuanzi’s Dark Tortoise, where he discovered that Fanming contained Bing Yi and helped bind it as his spirit beast. As the Little Cang Realm began collapsing, Wang Ba freed Xuanyuanzi and used the tortoise’s severed legs to prop up the sky, then watched Ding Ershier join with the tortoise to form what seemed to be a Black Tortoise.

• Wang Ba baited Fanming into pursuing him while Shao Yangzi and the others tried to save the collapsing earth veins of the Emperor Pole Continent.
• Xuanyuanzi’s Dark Tortoise ambushed Fanming beneath the North Sea, and the two colossal creatures fought until Fanming transformed into a Blue Fish and called Wang Ba its master.
• Wang Ba recognized Bing Yi within Fanming, learned its history through its memories, and worked with Xuanyuanzi to place a binding seal on it.
• As the Boundary Membrane sank and the continents’ earth veins collapsed, Wang Ba used the wound on the Dark Tortoise’s neck to help Xuanyuanzi achieve Liberation by Violence and ascend beyond the boundary.
• Wang Ba severed the Dark Tortoise’s four legs and sent them to brace the sky, but Ding Ershier arrived and coiled around the tortoise, reviving it and forming what Wang Ba recognized as the Black Tortoise.

The four spirits propped up the heavens, but collapsing earth veins threatened to sink the Little Cang Realm. Wang Ba and Yuan Magnetism Rail Man remade its continents, and Song Dongyang used the Zhou Tian Stars Diagram to help the boundary membrane heal; Wang Ba then prepared to meet someone in the heavens.

• Ding Ershier became the Black Warrior, and the four spirits took their places at the realm's extremities to hold up the heavens.
• Wang Ba traveled across the continents and called on cultivators to reshape the collapsing earth veins while Zhao Feng and Kongchanzi helped rescue mortals.
• Yuan Magnetism Rail Man reshaped the earth veins into four continents and moved them to support the four Heavenly Pillars.
• Wang Ba summoned Song Dongyang and ordered him to invest the evil gods as Heaven-Protecting Orthodox Gods through the Zhou Tian Stars Diagram.
• Song Dongyang and the gods filled the star map, accelerating the boundary membrane's healing and stopping the falling fragments of sky.
• Wang Ba told Zhao Feng to send the Myriad Phenomena Sect into the Daoist Grounds, then said the external tribulation was over and he would meet the person in the heavens.

Wang Ba confronted Cang Fuzi, the Little Cang Realm’s spirit, and learned how it had shaped his lifespan-transfer ability and preserved the spirits of his allies. With the realm running out of Primal Chaos Source Substance and facing future threats, Wang Ba proposed taking it somewhere richer in that resource.

• Wang Ba met Cang Fuzi in the boundary membrane after Hui Yunzi asked him to find out whether his disciple was still there.
• Cang Fuzi threatened Hui Yunzi with tribulation lightning, but Wang Ba countered by revealing a giant bird poised to break through the realm’s boundary.
• Cang Fuzi explained that Wang Ba was a Primordial God or Devil from outside the realm and that it had turned his connection to the Dao of lifespan creation into his lifespan-transfer ability.
• Wang Ba learned that Cang Fuzi sought only the Little Cang Realm’s survival, had preserved the True Spirits of the Myriad Phenomena Sect’s elders, and could not let Wang Ba take them if he left.
• Wang Ba warned that the realm’s remaining Primal Chaos Source Substance and defenses would not withstand the threats ahead, then proposed moving the Little Cang Realm to a place rich in that substance.

Wang Ba secured a partial transfer of the Little Cang Realm’s authority from Cang Fuzi and learned that his master could not be freed from the realm. After Hui Yunzi’s ascension, Wang Ba stopped Ye Cangsheng’s escape and trapped him in a Stone Dragon Lizard, then shared a final drink with Shen Fu as he prepared to ascend.

• Wang Ba persuaded Cang Fuzi to grant him one-third of the Little Cang Realm’s authority, with the remaining authority promised if he safely moved the realm.
• Cang Fuzi showed Wang Ba his master, explaining that his master’s true spirit had merged with the Little Cang Realm and could not leave it.
• Hui Yunzi survived the restored Ascension Tribulation and ascended, while Du Wei, Wei Rong, and the others also disappeared.
• Sword-Obsessed exposed Ye Cangsheng, who seized the Tribulation-Crossing Treasure Raft and tried to escape through a breach in the Boundary Membrane.
• Wang Ba intercepted Ye Cangsheng and transferred his Primordial Spirit into a Stone Dragon Lizard, leaving him obsessed with ascension and unaware of his new form.
• Wang Ba met Shen Fu by the Blood Sea, shared a final night of drinking with him, and watched as Shen Fu ascended, leaving behind a Blood Qilin.

Wang Ba lowered the Little Cang Realm’s rank and gathered its Spiritual Qi into the Taiyi Daoist Grounds so Fanming could carry the realm away from its fixed position. He established a new order for the realm’s mortals and cultivators, then watched Kongchanzi ascend, leaving Elephant Forty-Nine behind to await his return.

• Shen Fu awoke in the Cloud-Heaven Realm with his Primordial Spirit and Dao Domain sealed, and a figure in holy white radiance claimed to be the Supreme True Buddha.
• Wang Ba summoned the Golden Crow to raise the Great Sun, then asked Zhao Feng whether he would support him in forbidding ascension; Zhao Feng affirmed that longevity had never been his ambition.
• Wang Ba drew the Little Cang Realm’s Spiritual Qi and damaged Dao Intent into the Taiyi Daoist Grounds, causing the realm to shrink and drop in rank until Fanming carried it away from its original location.
• Wang Ba planted new growth across the continents, resettled mortals and True Martial Practitioners, appointed the Heaven-Protecting Orthodox Gods to oversee them, opened paths to the Daoist Grounds, and had Yuan Magnetism Rail Man establish the Senluo Underworld.
• Kongchanzi fulfilled his Great Vow and ascended to late Void Refinement, while Elephant Forty-Nine chose to remain in the Little Cang Realm and wait for him.

Wang Ba and Zhao Feng united the Little Cang Realm’s cultivators behind its migration through the Boundary Sea, and Wang Ba chose the Cloud-Heaven Realm as their destination. As Fanming carried the realm into the void, a trail of starry specks slipped into a Boundary Sea Vortex.

• In the Senluo Underworld, Yuan Magnetism Rail Man searched among the True Spirits of Spirit Transformation cultivators but could not find Qin Lingxiao’s True Spirit.
• Wang Ba told the gathered cultivators that the Little Cang Realm was already moving, and Zhao Feng explained why it had to leave before another World Eater attack.
• Wang Ba proposed an oath forbidding ascension until the realm found a safe home, and he, Zhao Feng, Ling Weizi, Liang Wuji, Xiong Zhaojing, and the other Spirit Transformation cultivators signed it.
• Zhao Feng offered the Boundary Sea Stars Diagram for Dao comprehension, and Jiang Yi helped Wang Ba identify the Cloud-Heaven Realm on the map.
• Wang Ba chose the Cloud-Heaven Realm as their destination and directed Fanming to change course, while Jiang Yi warned them to avoid a Boundary Sea Vortex.
• As Fanming carried the Little Cang Realm deeper into the Boundary Sea, starry specks spilled from the realm and vanished into the vortex.

As the Little Cang Realm traveled through the Boundary Sea, Wang Ba planned how to keep it safe after Fanming’s strength failed and began refining the Blood Dao-polluted Undying Divine Tree into a True Martial Incarnation. The chapter ended when Zhao Feng and Jiang Yi warned that someone had arrived from beyond the boundary.

• Wang Ba told Zhao Feng to watch for World Eaters and warned that a Primordial God or Devil might have followed Han Yanzi’s message.
• Liang Wuji returned the polluted half of the Undying Divine Tree, and Wang Ba told him the Longevity Sect could send someone to enter the realm in three years, as long as they did not disturb mortals.
• Zhao Feng reported that making enough Floating Law Artifacts required millions of jin of scarce Sixth Tier materials, so Wang Ba called on cultivators throughout the Daoist Grounds to propose cheaper designs.
• Wang Ba took the polluted Undying Divine Tree into the Myriad Laws Peak Secret Realm and chose it over the Blood Qilin as material for his True Martial Incarnation.
• Wang Ba marked the Undying Divine Tree to begin forming an Origin Embryo, then received grave messages from Zhao Feng and Jiang Yi that someone had come from beyond the boundary.

Wang Ba and the others encountered a mysterious double-pupiled Daoist beyond the boundary, who vanished after inspecting the Little Cang Realm. Soon after, Fanming steered the realm around a river of World Eaters, but a powerful four-eyed being within the swarm noticed the realm and decided to pursue it after reaching its current target.

• Wang Ba, Zhao Feng, Jiang Yi, and Ling Weizi watched as a purple-robed Daoist with double pupils examined the Little Cang Realm from beyond its boundary, then disappeared without attacking.
• Jiang Yi speculated that the Daoist was a Tribulation Crossing cultivator traveling through the Boundary Sea, and Ling Weizi judged that he probably did not consider them enemies.
• Zhao Feng reviewed the sects’ dwindling populations, and Wang Ba decided to encourage population growth in the mortal world and select promising cultivators from among their children.
• Jiang Yi and Ling Weizi spotted a vast river of World Eaters approaching, and Fanming veered aside while carrying the Little Cang Realm to avoid it.
• A huge four-eyed being awoke among the World Eaters, sensed the passing realm, and decided to pursue it after finishing its current target.

As Fanming carried the Little Cang Realm away from the World Eaters, Wang Ba learned more about the realm’s dwindling origin and began refining a mysterious primordial Dao treasure. He turned Han Yanzi into a tool for his plans, while the pursuing horde encountered an unexpected Daoist.

• Wang Ba, Zhao Feng, Ling Weizi, and Jiang Yi concluded that the World Eaters had been heading toward the Little Cang Realm and continued fleeing east to escape their perception range.
• Cang Fuzi identified the black copper staff left by a Primordial God and Devil as a primordial Dao treasure, and Wang Ba began refining it after recognizing a trace of Wind Dao within its cloud restrictions.
• Cang Fuzi revealed that the Little Cang Realm’s Origin of the Dao Root was nearly exhausted, partly by Wang Ba’s lifespan breakthroughs, and explained that restoring it required primal chaos source substance or Dao Intent.
• Wang Ba enslaved the Thousand-Eyed Nether Lizard, transferred Han Yanzi into its body, renamed him A Da, and ordered him to create illusionary realms.
• After more than a month passed without the World Eaters appearing, the Six-Fingered Primordial God and Devil led its horde in pursuit of the displaced Little Cang Realm, but they stopped before a purple-robed, blue-bearded Daoist.
