• Ye Xingchen asked the Demon Race and Ten Thousand Flowers Divine Palace to trust him, then tossed a green vine into the Yellow Springs Water, where it became an enormous warship.

Ye Xingchen used the Ancient Divine Vine to cross the Yellow Springs Water, reach the Undying Divine Tree, and collect its flowers for his companions. After he reached the opposite shore and prepared to continue onward, a member of the Su Lineage asked him to ferry them across in exchange for whatever conditions he named.

• Ye Xingchen carried the Demon Race and Ten Thousand Flowers Divine Palace across the Yellow Springs Water aboard a warship that resisted its corrosive effects.
• An Immortal Emperor from Ten Thousand Beasts Valley threw a Divine Desolation disciple into the river, where the disciple died, confirming that the danger remained.

• A voice from the Su Lineage asked Ye Xingchen to take them across and offered to meet his conditions, so he stopped to consider their request.

• A Golden Immortal Realm disciple of Spirit Void Hall let out an eerie laugh, alarming the gathered factions and leaving Qin Muzhi stunned.

• Ye Xingchen told the Demon Race and Ten Thousand Flowers Divine Palace disciples to use their Dragon Saliva Grass and Rainbow Night Flowers to cross the valley.

The factions discovered an enormous palace in Avici Hell and learned from an ancient stele that many powerful experts had died trying to reach it. Su Longxiao identified the palace as a false Ancient Divine Court, and after the gate resisted every attack, Ye Xingchen noticed something that made him smile.

• The factions read the stele’s warnings and the accounts of experts who had died in Avici Hell, including Huangfu Tatian, Yan Qingshan, Wuzhi, and Hou Guanjun.
• Ye Xingchen led Luo Qingshan, Hua Xueyan, and the other factions toward the golden palace, where Su Longxiao recognized its plaque as the Ancient Divine Court.
• Su Longxiao explained that the palace could not be the true Ancient Divine Court, and the factions guessed that an ancient deity had built the imitation to guard treasures.
• The factions found the palace gate covered in marks and discarded weapons, then attacked it without managing to break through.
• After Ye Xingchen alone refrained from attacking, purple-gold light flickered in his eyes and he smiled in disbelief.

Su Longxiao’s God-Slaying Spear failed to break the divine court’s doors, so Ye Xingchen led the exhausted factions to rest and claimed he already knew how to enter. He gave Yun Anling treasures for Xiao Yajun and Hua Xueyan divine stones, then started his daily system check-in as the others waited uneasily outside.

• Ye Xingchen checked in and received divine stones, divine wine, and the Primordial Devil-Suppressing Stone, a weapon that could suppress any devil.
• Ye Xingchen and Luo Qingshan awoke to factions bombarding the enormous gate, and Qin Haotian demanded that the Demon Race and Ten Thousand Flowers Divine Palace join them.
• Ye Xingchen mocked Qin Haotian and explained that the stone stele’s hint meant they should think beyond their assumptions and try opening the gate outward.
• Ye Xingchen gripped a groove and easily opened the gate outward, humiliating Qin Haotian and making him regard Ye Xingchen as his heart demon.
• The gate revealed a sight that astonished everyone, including Ye Xingchen.

Ye Xingchen and the major factions entered the Ancient Divine Court’s spacetime passage and found the true Avici Hell, where they killed a living ancient ferocious beast with a joint attack. As they prepared to move on, Huangfu Bubai’s sinister voice declared that he would keep them there as blood food.

• Ye Xingchen led Luo Qingshan, Hua Xueyan, and Yun Anling through the passage into a decaying small world filled with giant bones and ancient ferocious beast skeletons.
• Ye Xingchen identified the place as the true Avici Hell and sensed an ominous presence that the others did not feel.
• A mountain-sized ancient ferocious beast attacked the factions, killed several cultivators, and swallowed an Immortal Emperor from Ten Thousand Beasts Valley.
• Su Longxiao proposed that the factions unite against the beast, and Ye Xingchen agreed while worrying that Huangfu Bubai had disappeared.
• The factions’ Immortal Emperors and three Great Emperors combined their attacks and killed the beast.
• As Su Longxiao urged everyone toward a trace of divinity, the small world shook and Huangfu Bubai threatened to make them his blood food.

• Huangfu Bubai declared that the blood he had gathered would help break the barrier and bring the Devil Race into Divine Desolation, then vanished toward a burst of light.
• Ye Xingchen heard Huangfu Bubai call Divine Desolation a lower continent and wondered whether higher continents existed.

After blood from several experts dimmed the seal and shattered its chains, terrifying Devil Qi began pouring from the abyss.

• Su Longxiao led the factions toward the brilliant radiance, and Ye Xingchen followed with Luo Qingshan, Hua Xueyan, and Yun Anling, recognizing the place from the Ancient Treasure Map.
• Devil Emperor Youming revealed that he had seized Huangfu Bubai’s body and challenged Tian Lingzi, whose golden skeleton rested on the lotus dais above the sealed abyss.
• Youming’s attacks failed to break Tian Lingzi’s barrier, while the arriving factions coveted the golden divine remains and treasure.
• Youming seized several experts, sealed their cultivation, and hurled them into the dais, splattering their blood across it.
• As Tian Lingzi destroyed Youming’s next palm strike, the golden chains of order shattered, and Devil Qi surged from the abyss as Youming declared the Devil Race would emerge.

The Devil Race broke through the seal in the Endless Abyss, but Ye Xingchen effortlessly killed the Great Emperor devils who attacked him. As the factions fled through the exit, Ye Xingchen remained behind, with the Ancient Treasure Map pointing into the abyss.

• Youming summoned the Devil Race, but a female devil killed him for occupying Huangfu Bubai's body and sullying the Devil Race's bloodline.

• Tian Lingzi directed the factions toward the exit and said he would destroy the teleportation array, while Ye Xingchen stayed behind.

Ye Xingchen sealed the entrance to the Endless Abyss with the Primordial Devil-Suppressing Stone, preventing the Devil Race from entering Divine Desolation, then escaped the collapsing small world with his companions. Back in Divine Dragon City, Qin Haotian plotted revenge against Ye Xingchen and set his sights on Hua Xueyan.

Ye Xingchen examined Tian Lingzi’s jade talisman and learned the ancient history of the Devil Race, the God Realm, and the true hierarchy of cultivation. After discovering that a great era had arrived and the Ancient God Road might reappear, he resolved to check on the Demon Race before the system reminded him to use that day’s check-in.

• Ye Xingchen read the golden jade talisman and learned how the Devil Race’s Dark Epoch ended and how the Holy Ancestor sealed the passage to the Devil Realm.

After the others departed, the Hidden Qin Family prepared to retaliate against Ye Xingchen and the Ten Thousand Flowers Divine Palace.
