Shu Zimo joined Lin Fei’s city lord’s manor as a strategist and began assessing North-Subduing City’s forces as it prepared for war. Meanwhile, Han Qiling gathered hundreds of Golden Immortals to discuss the alliance’s overwhelming strength and the obstacle posed by Lin Fei’s defenses.

• Lin Fei accepted Shu Zimo as a strategist after learning how Shu had used cunning plans to preserve humans and guide them safely to North-Subduing City.
• Shu Zimo asked for a detailed account of the city’s combat strength, and Ye Wudi helped him gather information about the city and the ancient reserves of powerful races.
• The Immortal Ancestor used the Heavens Stars Diagram to convene a meeting attended by projections of more than five hundred Golden Immortals, alongside the Immortal Race’s nine Golden Immortals in person.
• Han Qiling told the assembled Golden Immortals that the united races had an overwhelming advantage, prompting the Three-Horned Bull Demon ancestor to demand that they simply attack Lin Fei.
• Han Qiling explained that the alliance could not bring its advantage to bear because Lin Fei held North-Subduing City, protected by the Sun and Moon Human Emperor Array, and the hall erupted in curses.

Han Qiling planned to use captured humans to pressure Lin Fei and undermine his blood-colored fortune. Shu Zimo recognized the danger and devised a preemptive strike, deciding the Heavenly Venerable must not be trapped by moral blackmail.

• Han Qiling told the Golden Immortals to gather humans and negotiate with Lin Fei, threatening mass deaths and possibly demanding Kunpeng in exchange for human lives.
• Han Qiling explained that forcing Lin Fei to refuse a trade could turn humans against him and diminish his blood-colored fortune, while strengthening the venerable one behind the First Race.
• Shu Zimo reasoned that the myriad races could demand Cai Beiyu for a hundred million humans, then slaughter and torment them to make Lin Fei appear responsible for their deaths.
• Shu Zimo concluded that the Heavenly Venerable could not be allowed to face the ultimatum and proposed a surprise attack on an ancestral land to force the myriad races to defend their rear.
• Shu Zimo resolved to reject moral blackmail, declaring that the enemy could not blackmail him if he had no morals.

Shu Zimo persuaded Lin Fei to leave North-Subduing City and strike behind enemy lines rather than face the ten thousand races’ demand to sacrifice human captives. Entrusted with the city’s authority, Shu Zimo prepared its defenses and revealed that Lin Fei had left the protection of the Sun and Moon Human Emperor Array to attack the enemy.

• Shu Zimo proposed that Lin Fei avoid the dilemma over the captives by launching a surprise attack on the territories of the ten thousand races.
• Lin Fei approved Shu Zimo’s plan, promised him a chance at nirvana rebirth after conquering the Phoenix Race’s ancestral land, and entrusted him with a jade token containing a strand of his primordial spirit.
• Lin Fei gave Shu Zimo full authority over North-Subduing City’s major policies before departing.
• Shu Zimo sealed the city, halted outside activities and spirit ore mining, redirected treasury resources to the Eight-Nine Mystic Armament Grounds, and assembled strategists to simulate battles.
• When the strategists concluded that the city could not defeat the ten thousand races, Shu Zimo pointed out that Lin Fei had left the city and its protective array to kill enough enemies to force their response.

Lin Fei attacked the Three-Horned Bull Demon Clan’s ancestral land to seize resources for his warship fleet. After breaking its defenses and killing fleeing Bull Demons, he faced the enraged Bull Demon Patriarch, who challenged him to fight on the mountain.

• Lin Fei used golden feathers and scales from Kunpeng Race Golden Immortals to accelerate his passage through space and time.
• Lin Fei traveled to the Three-Horned Bull Demon Clan’s ancestral land, near North-Subduing City.

• The five Golden Immortals chose to fight, while Lin Fei’s attack slaughtered fleeing creatures and destroyed the beams meant to rescue Bull Demons.
• The Bull Demon Patriarch challenged Lin Fei to come up the mountain and fight.

Lin Fei fought five Bull Devil Race Golden Immortals inside the Earth Fiend Bull Demon Formation and overwhelmed them despite their rapid regeneration. The Bull Demon Patriarch then revealed the Heavenly Court’s Five Elements Bells and launched a final attack.

• The Bull Demon Patriarch activated the Earth Fiend Bull Demon Formation, empowering the five Golden Immortals with earth-fiend qi.
• Lin Fei entered the formation, transformed into Late Golden Immortal, and smashed through their Innate Grand Void Gang Qi attack.
• Lin Fei wounded the Bull Devil Race Golden Immortals with his techniques, while the formation rapidly regenerated their bodies and the Chaos Eye and Chaos Lotus Pond countered their attacks.
• The Ancestor intervened with fiendish qi to save the Bull Demon Patriarch from the Chaos Eye.
• The Bull Demon Patriarch summoned the five ancient Five Elements Bells, and the five Golden Immortals activated them to attack Lin Fei.

Lin Fei withstood the Five Golden Immortals’ combined assault with the Five Elements Bells and unleashed Heavenly Annihilation. He destroyed one bell with a punch and killed its wielder, leaving the remaining Golden Immortals stunned.

• The Five Golden Immortals attacked Lin Fei with the Five Elements Bells, while the bells’ protective power shielded them.
• Lin Fei countered the bells’ elemental attacks with his Chaos Eye, Chaos Lotus Pond, and Six Extinctions Yin-Yang Diagram, shocking the Five Golden Immortals.
• Lin Fei unleashed Heavenly Annihilation, killing every cultivator below Golden Immortal on the mountain.
• Lin Fei struck the fire-attribute ancient bell, caving it in and scattering fragments through its wielder’s defenses.
• Lin Fei’s punch killed the Golden Immortal wielding the damaged bell, and silence fell over the battlefield.

Lin Fei endured the backlash of his techniques as he fought the Bull Demon Golden Immortals, killing the Bull Demon Forefather and turning the enemy’s attacks against them. He destroyed another Golden Immortal’s body, leaving its tiny golden primordial-spirit remnant exposed as he prepared to finish it.

• Lin Fei mocked the Bull Demon Golden Immortals and seized control of the ancient fire bell before abandoning the struggle to attack the Bull Demon Forefather.
• Lin Fei’s Six Extinctions Taiji Diagram crushed the Bull Demon Forefather and annihilated his blood mist.
• The three surviving Golden Immortals shattered Lin Fei’s Chaos Lotus Pond and grievously wounded him, but failed to kill him.
• Lin Fei used the Seven Steps of the Heavenly Demon and the Wuming Sword Art to exchange positions with the Bull Demon Patriarch, turning the enemies’ attacks back on them.
• The combined assault destroyed the body of a Golden Immortal beside the Bull Demon Patriarch, leaving only a tiny golden remnant of its primordial spirit.
• Lin Fei immediately launched a Six Extinctions Taiji Diagram at the exposed remnant.

Lin Fei annihilated the Bull Devil Race’s five Golden Immortals, claimed their treasures and resources, and stayed behind to heal. Meanwhile, Han Qiling gathered an alliance army at the Kunpeng Sea and ordered it to march on North-Subduing City before Lin Fei could react.

• Lin Fei killed the fleeing Golden Immortal and absorbed the Earth Fiend formation’s baleful energy into the mountain.
• Lin Fei took the Five Elements Bells and emptied the earth fiend yin vein, then remained at the ancestral land to heal his injuries.
• More than two hundred Golden Immortals and their armies gathered at the Kunpeng Sea using their races’ transport methods.
• Han Qiling judged the assembled force of 231 Golden Immortals sufficient to defeat North-Subduing City and called for an immediate advance.
• The first wave of the allied army departed for North-Subduing City.

North-Subduing City prospered under Lin Fei’s rule until the allied army of the myriad races arrived and surrounded it. The enemy demanded Cai Beiyu in exchange for more than seventy-six million human captives, while Lin Fei remained absent.

• North-Subduing City flourished as its residents worked, traded, and enjoyed themselves, and the Eight-Nine Mystic Armament Grounds completed its eighth Heavenly Immortal Dao Rhythm Warship.
• The allied army of the myriad races approached, triggering the Sun and Moon Human Emperor Array and frightening the city’s residents.
• Cai Beiyu and the Kunpeng Alliance’s eight other Golden Immortals took the city wall and faced more than two hundred enemy Golden Immortals, including Xian Taixuan, Mo Taixu, Long Ao Tian, and Fenghe Chu.
• Fenghe Chu and the Mystic Tiger Ancestor taunted Cai Beiyu, while Han Qiling noticed that Lin Fei was absent and a weak Human Race cultivator stood beside her.
• Xian Taixuan demanded that Cai Beiyu be exchanged for the human captives and released nearly a million prisoners, who fell toward the ground as the allied army displayed its hostages.

Shu Zimo exposed Han Qiling’s failed plan, but refused to exchange a Kunpeng captive for ten million human captives. As the captives and North-Subduing City’s residents reacted with fury and fear, Han Qiling watched Shu Zimo closely.

• Shu Zimo admitted he had uncovered Han Qiling’s plan, and Han Qiling conceded that he had lost by arriving half a day too late.
• Han Qiling proposed exchanging ten million human captives for one Heavenly Immortal of the Kunpeng Race, prompting mockery from both sides.
• Shu Zimo declared that North-Subduing City would not barter its allies’ lives, and Yin Chenglin angrily demanded that he save the captives.
• Shu Zimo ordered Cai Beiyu to stop Yin Chenglin, and she made him collapse unconscious.
• The human captives screamed and cursed Shu Zimo for refusing the exchange while Han Qiling watched his reaction and smiled.

Han Qiling forced ten million human captives to slaughter one another, while Shu Zimo watched helplessly from North-Subduing City. As the massacre continued, Uncle Luo rescued Lanlan and told her that Shu Zimo was responsible for her mother’s death.

• Shu Zimo refused to sacrifice the nonhuman captive, and Han Qiling announced that ten million humans would have to fight until only one million survived.
• Han Qiling began the countdown, and the human captives attacked one another with their cultivation.
• A man killed a young girl, prompting her father to detonate his Nascent Soul and kill the attacker and nearby captives.
• A cold-faced man killed Lanlan’s mother, but a careworn middle-aged man named Uncle Luo rescued Lanlan and killed the attacker.
• Uncle Luo promised to get Lanlan through the massacre alive and blamed Shu Zimo for her mother’s death.

Shu Zimo refused the Immortal Ancestor’s offer to trade the Heavenly Immortals for the surviving human captives, even after discovering his father among them. As his father was killed and the city condemned him, Shu Zimo realized Han Qiling had maneuvered him into another trap and suspected a third move was coming.

• Shu Zimo recognized his wounded father among the human captives, and the Immortal Ancestor offered to exchange a Heavenly Immortal Kunpeng for every surviving captive.
• Despite pleas and accusations from North-Subduing City, Shu Zimo refused the exchange, and Han Qiling praised him as ruthless.
• The Immortal Ancestor resumed the captives’ fight, and Shu Zimo’s father cursed him before the humans brutally killed him.
• Shu Zimo wept while reasoning that yielding would invite further demands and rebellion within the Kunpeng Alliance, and he concluded that Han Qiling had another scheme.

Shu Zimo refused Han Qiling’s demand to trade for the human captives, even as the slaughter and unrest in North-Subduing City intensified. Cai Beiyu then offered herself in exchange for a hundred million human captives, leaving both sides in uproar.

• Fewer than a million captives survived the first slaughter, and Han Qiling ordered the arena cleared before sending in another ten million.
• Cai Beipeng warned Shu Zimo that the Kunpeng Alliance would not become a bargaining chip, while Shu Zimo remained grief-stricken and silent.
• Han Qiling asked Shu Zimo whether he would trade, and Shu Zimo answered, “No trade!”
• Residents of North-Subduing City turned on Shu Zimo and his allies, and a Kunpeng Heavenly Immortal defended the sacrifices his people had made.
• Han Qiling changed the rules and demanded that the captives slaughter one another until only a hundred thousand remained.
• Cai Beiyu removed her crown, placed it on Cai Beipeng’s head, and offered herself in exchange for a hundred million human captives.

Cai Beiyu defended Shu Zimo’s refusal to trade people, while Shu Zimo rejected Han Qiling’s offers to exchange prisoners for the Eight-Nine Mystic Armament Grounds or Heavenly Immortal Dao Rhythm Warships. Han Qiling conceded the bargaining failed and suggested Lin Fei’s attack on the Bull Demon ancestral grounds had begun the real war.

• Cai Beiyu explained to North-Subduing City’s residents why Shu Zimo could not agree to repeated prisoner exchanges, warning that concessions would divide the Kunpeng Alliance.
• Han Qiling offered nearly sixty-seven million prisoners for the Eight-Nine Mystic Armament Grounds, but Shu Zimo refused to hand it over.
• Han Qiling then offered two million lives for each Heavenly Immortal Dao Rhythm Warship, and Shu Zimo refused to trade any of them, arguing that the Zhou Heavenly Dao Rhythm Warship Array was essential to the Primordial Wilderness Human Race’s survival.
• Shu Zimo declared that protecting the greater cause required him to sacrifice even his kin and the lives of tens of millions, leaving the city silent.
• Han Qiling admitted the Alliance of Ten Thousand Races had lost the confrontation and said Lin Fei had likely attacked the Bull Demon ancestral grounds, beginning the real war.

Lin Fei encountered a projection of Ye Zhenbei, who had fused with a Spirit Race woman from the Other Shore Heavenly Capital and blamed Lin Fei for disrupting his bid to become Human Emperor. Lin Fei prepared to destroy the projection and planned to learn how the woman had escaped the Heavenly Capital.

• After avoiding the ambushes Han Qiling had likely prepared at nearby ancestral lands, Lin Fei gathered corpses by the river and sat down to cultivate.
• Lin Fei sensed a blood-colored mist overhead and recognized the figure within it as Ye Zhenbei, the traitor who had helped bring down North-Subduing City.
• Ye Zhenbei revealed that he was fused with a woman, and Lin Fei identified her as a Spirit Race member who had escaped the Other Shore Heavenly Capital.
• Lin Fei realized Ye Zhenbei's fusion had prevented him from fully claiming the Human Emperor status, and Ye Zhenbei vowed to kill him for ruining his plan.
• Lin Fei dismissed Ye Zhenbei's taunts, said he wanted to question the woman after destroying the projection, and summoned his Immortal-Demon Twin Wings and Chaos Lotus Pond to attack.

Lin Fei fought the mysterious figure, who drew on the Human Emperor’s might, and revealed that his name was Ye Lingyu. The chapter ended with Lin Fei resisting Ye Lingyu’s imperial pressure as Ye declared himself the Human Emperor of the Primordial Wilderness.

• The mysterious figure summoned the Human Emperor’s phantom and used its power to clash with Lin Fei’s Chaos Golden Lotus sword strike.
• Lin Fei evaded the mysterious figure’s attack, but was caught by his time-stopping technique and struck by nine streams of imperial True Dragon energy.
• Lin Fei appeared unharmed and hit the mysterious figure from behind with a demonic palm, then revealed that he had only been fighting with a Sword Qi Form Retention.
• The mysterious figure unleashed the Human Emperor’s pressure and demanded that Lin Fei kneel, forcing countless beings nearby to prostrate themselves.
• Lin Fei resisted the pressure as the Great Dao’s heavenly sounds spoke the name Ye Lingyu, and Ye Lingyu declared himself the Human Emperor of the Primordial Wilderness.

Ye Lingyu used the Human Emperor’s heavenly might to try to force Lin Fei to kneel, but Lin Fei resisted with chaos aura and attacked him. The two prepared to clash using the Human Emperor Seal, which Lin Fei claimed he knew as well.

• Ye Lingyu’s name was recognized by Heaven and earth, and his heavenly might made cultivators across ten million li collapse or crawl toward the battlefield.
• Ye Lingyu commanded Lin Fei to kneel, but Lin Fei summoned black and white flames and the phantoms of Jidu Luohou, dispelling the pressure.
• Lin Fei sensed that the Multiversal Heavenly Dao rejected Jidu Luohou’s manifestation, then unleashed killing intent that blanketed the region in snow and ice.
• Ye Lingyu renewed his command, but Lin Fei remained unaffected, advanced along a golden avenue, and drove Ye Lingyu back in a palm clash.
• Ye Lingyu formed the Human Emperor Seal to attack Lin Fei, who formed the same seal and said he knew it too.

Lin Fei overwhelmed Ye Lingyu in their battle, countering his copied techniques and then breaking his Myriad Transformation Spirit Art with the same art. Ye Lingyu was left horrified as he realized how vast the difference between them was.

• Lin Fei manifested a Human Emperor phantom and shattered Ye Lingyu's mist-condensed attack, then demanded to know how he had escaped the Other Shore Heavenly Capital.
• Ye Lingyu attacked with the Mountain-Embracing Seal, but Lin Fei used the same move and shattered Ye Lingyu's immortal mountain, injuring him.
• Ye Lingyu unleashed the Heaven-Overturning Seal, but Lin Fei struck back with the same technique and sent him flying.
• Lin Fei told Ye Lingyu that he had taught him all three techniques and questioned why he was trying to fight him with them.
• Ye Lingyu used the Myriad Transformation Spirit Art to dissolve Lin Fei's protective gang qi, but Lin Fei used the same art to undo the attack and drive Ye Lingyu back.

Lin Fei overwhelmed Ye Lingyu’s projection, but the Heavenly Dao prevented Ye Lingyu from revealing the secrets of the Other Shore Heavenly Capital. After consuming the projection and sparing two Heavenly Immortals, Lin Fei headed for the Bifang Ancestral Land to launch a surprise attack.

• Lin Fei seized Ye Lingyu and repeatedly slapped him, reducing the Human Emperor’s projection to a faint wisp of mist.
• Ye Lingyu begged for death, then tried to explain how someone had escaped the Other Shore Heavenly Capital, but the Heavenly Dao blocked his words with lightning.
• Lin Fei used the Heavenly Demon Bone-Stripping Qi-Absorbing Art to drain Ye Lingyu’s immortal power and devour his projection.
• Lin Fei destroyed three Heavenly Immortals and spared the two who begged for mercy.
• Lin Fei tore through the void and set out for the Bifang Ancestral Land to settle the matter in a surprise raid.

Lin Fei rejected the idea of seizing Cloud-Soaring Eight Trigrams Mountain and instead continued pursuing nearer opportunities. As Han Qiling set the Alliance of Ten Thousand Races on a ruthless plan to build blood-colored fortune and track Lin Fei, Lin Fei attacked the Bifang Mountain Range and began draining its immortal fire spirit veins.

• Lin Fei decided not to seize Cloud-Soaring Eight Trigrams Mountain, judging that it was too well protected and choosing to advance step by step.
• At the Mystic Tiger Ancestral Ground, Han Qiling named four likely targets for Lin Fei and proposed that the ten thousand races slaughter their own people to gather blood-colored fortune and locate him.
• The Golden Immortals debated Han Qiling's plan, then voted to accept it, and Han Qiling ordered them to kill.
• Lin Fei reached the Bifang Mountain Range and killed countless Bifang with a single gesture.
• Lin Fei formed a furnace from the mountain's earth veins and began refining seventy-two great Dao immortal spirit stones while draining the Bifang race's immortal fire spirit veins.

Donghuang Taiyi and Di Jun failed in their ninth attempt to reach the Primordial Continent, while Lin Fei drained the Bifang ancestral land and escaped before Han Qiling’s forces arrived. The Bifang Ancestor and the other Golden Immortals decided to slaughter one another to build blood-colored fortune and prepare to confront Lin Fei.

• Donghuang Taiyi and Di Jun’s avatars failed to pass through the Boundless Void, and Di Jun concluded that the Primordial Continent rejected them because of humanity’s blood-colored fortune.
• Lin Fei drained the Bifang ancestral land, pushing his cultivation close to the middle stage of the Golden Immortal realm, and predicted that Han Qiling would urge the myriad races to amass blood-colored fortune.
• Han Qiling and nine boats carrying Golden Immortals approached the Bifang ancestral land, so Lin Fei tore open the void and escaped.
• Han Qiling found the Bifang ancestral land desolate and warned the furious Bifang Ancestor against pursuing Lin Fei without knowing where he had gone.
• The Bifang Ancestor and the other Golden Immortals agreed to slaughter one another to accumulate blood-colored fortune and fight Lin Fei together.

The Human Race rose to eleventh in the Ranking of the Ten Thousand Races as massacres spread across the Primordial Continent. Lin Fei attacked Night Tide Lake, shattered the Qilin Race’s formation, and faced a vast Water Qilin legion.

• The Ranking of the Ten Thousand Races dropped the Three-Horned Bull Demon Clan to 983rd and raised the Human Race to eleventh.
• Golden Immortals of rival races led retaliatory massacres, leaving countless beings displaced and deepening their hatred.
• Lin Fei left as the Alliance of Ten Thousand Races began its slaughter and headed for Night Tide Lake, a major Qilin gathering place.
• The lord ordered Ke Lisi to seal Night Tide Lake’s formation, but Lin Fei broke through it with a single strike and killed hundreds of Qilin.
• The Qilin Race summoned a legion of Water Qilin that charged at Lin Fei while some Qilin fled and others watched in hope.

Lin Fei wiped out Night Tide Lake, harvested its treasures, and suppressed the tribulation that would advance him to the middle Golden Immortal stage. He then moved on to Ancient Wasteland City in search of the Alliance of Ten Thousand Races, but arrived Golden Immortals found he had already slaughtered its inhabitants and left.

• Lin Fei's Heavenly Demon Raging Flame Dance destroyed the Water Qilin formation, while the Chaos Lotus Pond trapped and drained nine Golden Immortal avatars; he then extinguished every living creature at Night Tide Lake.
• Lin Fei's cultivation nearly triggered the Great Purity, Jade Purity, and Supreme Purity Lightning Tribulation, but he suppressed it to remain in the early Golden Immortal stage.
• Lin Fei plundered Night Tide Lake's Spirit Stones, Immortal Spirit Ice Essence, treasures, and corpses, then decided he needed more resources for his 365 Heavenly Immortal Dao Rhythm Warships.
• Lin Fei chose Ancient Wasteland City as his next destination, slaughtered its ferocious beasts, and thoroughly looted the city without finding any Alliance of Ten Thousand Races Golden Immortals.
• The Immortal Ancestor and more than a hundred Golden Immortals arrived at Ancient Wasteland City after Lin Fei had left, and the Immortal Ancestor demanded to know who had stolen their target.

The Immortal Ancestor and 120 Golden Immortals caught up with Lin Fei in Moon-Gazing City after he raided several cities, and the Immortal Ancestor challenged him using the Ten Thousand Immortals Tribulation Killing Formation.

• Lin Fei mocked the 120 Golden Immortals as too few and said he had intended to catch them all in one net.
• The Immortal Ancestor deployed the Ten Thousand Immortals Tribulation Killing Formation and asked the Golden Immortals to help him fight Lin Fei.
• Xian Taixuan and the formation's immortal phantoms attacked Lin Fei, but Lin Fei answered with the Three Pure Ones Lightning.

Lin Fei’s breakthrough to the middle Golden Immortal stage triggered a Three Pure Ones Lightning Tribulation that shattered the formation and threatened every Golden Immortal nearby. As the tribulation manifested the Three Pure Ones and the Four Immortal-Slaying Swords, Lin Fei expanded its range to engulf 121 Golden Immortals, and the Jade Purity phantom struck with a lightning-forged Three Treasures Jade Ruyi.

• The Golden Immortals tried to flee or kill Lin Fei as his Three Pure Ones Lightning Tribulation engulfed the formation, while he absorbed the lightning and looted treasures from those it gravely wounded.
• Xian Taixuan rallied the remaining Golden Immortals and charged Lin Fei, but Great Purity and upper divine lightning killed several fighters and battered the formation apart.
• Lin Fei exchanged a palm strike with Immortal Ancestor as the tribulation revealed phantoms of the Three Pure Ones and the Four Immortal-Slaying Swords.

• The Golden Immortals charged toward Lin Fei, but many died under the lightning before the Jade Purity phantom attacked with a Three Treasures Jade Ruyi.
