Chen Zheng and Yannü arrived at Supreme Emperor Great Mountain after the Wings of Heaven appeared on the Divine Wonders Ranking, triggering a scramble among the orthodoxies. As the wings emerged above Hongguang Great Domain, Zhuxiaozi weighed his desire to seize them against his fear of being defeated.

• Across the realms, Chen Zheng's allies and disciples sensed their cultivation suddenly rise by a major realm, while Chen Zheng sealed a spacetime rift and said the Wings of Heaven were only a prelude to greater conflict.

• Chen Zheng shattered the Dharma Idol with a glance and stepped onto the stone platform before the Immortal Gate without using the ropes.

• Ji Kuang, the Wrath Divine Sect’s sect master, arrived on the ancient stone platform and neutralized the nine immortal cords’ attacks.
• Ji Kuang declared that he would claim the Wings of Heaven, but his body and primordial spirit crumbled to ashes.
• A voice from inside the Immortal Gate called Ji Kuang a fake who had dared to act insolent, and the gathered lineages recognized it as Chen Zheng’s voice.

After Ji Kuang's death, the Mad Immortal entered the Immortal Gate to claim the Wings of Heaven and confront the young man inside. He was thrown back without his primordial spirit, and his death left the gathered cultivators terrified of whatever waited within the gate.

• Kuang Tianshen warned the newly arrived long-robed Supreme that an indestructible ninth-realm Dao Ancestor inside the Immortal Gate had killed Ji Kuang, hoping to turn him against the young man.

• A cultivator checked the Supreme Ranking and found the Mad Immortal's name gone, while a voice proclaimed his death throughout the Great Void.
• The gathered Dao lineages stared at the Immortal Gate in terror, uncertain whether the young man or another being inside had killed the Mad Immortal.

Myriad Spirits Immortal Mountain suspected Chen Zheng had killed Mad Immortal, while Chu Jiuxiang rushed to the Gai Shi Divine Sect to see for himself. As Chen Zheng attacked the sect, Yu Haoran was defeated and his memories exposed the Gai Shi Divine Sect’s crimes, leaving its reputation in ruins.

• Myriad Spirits Ancient Immortal showed Chu Jiuxiang an image of Chen Zheng and said he might be the Supreme Ranking’s top figure and Mad Immortal’s killer.

• Yu Haoran’s memories appeared across the sky, revealing that the Gai Shi Divine Sect had fabricated excuses to destroy rival groups, seize bloodlines, and abduct a consort.
• The watching beings realized the supposedly righteous Gai Shi Divine Sect had followed an evil path.

The Gai Shi Divine Sect's sect master summoned the Epoch Divine Tree's Dharma Idol to defend himself, while the Supreme Ranking exposed the Dharma Idol as ninth in the Great Void. Chen Zheng then destroyed it and dragged the Epoch Divine Tree itself down from beyond the Great Void.

• The Gai Shi Divine Sect's sect master's remnant soul accidentally revealed his schemes, and Zhuxiaozi and the others condemned his hypocrisy.

• Chen Zheng's gigantic hand reached beyond the Great Void and dragged the Epoch Divine Tree itself into the Hongguang Great Domain.

Chen Zheng dragged the Epoch Divine Tree into the Gai Shi Divine Sect’s underground ruins and stripped away its power, shocking the witnesses who saw it ranked sixth on the Supreme Ranking. He revealed that no Epoch Divine Tree truly existed, and the tree and the sect’s cultivators vanished.
