Arc 21The Imperial Evil Realm Returns
Xie Feng claimed the Sword Skeleton, rose through the realms, and helped Su Jin confront threats within the Illusory Void Feilian Race. As the Heavenly Ranking shifted toward the Imperial Evil Realm, Lu Yinjian returned with his army and sought the Devil Emperor, whom Gu Yuan said was now a three-year-old in intelligence.
- Xie Feng formed a blood pact with the Sword Skeleton, met Mu Bingxing in its mist-filled space, and received the Chaos Cultivation Technique before returning to the Emperor Corpse Tomb.
- Xie Feng's group found the Mystic Jade Pagoda and Heavenly Decree Sword, and Yue Heng broke through to the ninth stage of the Indestructible Realm before they returned to Eastern Dawn Valley.
- The Heavenly Ranking named Xie Feng first, and he gained the Emperor Beginning Sword, advanced to the Indestructible Realm, and received the Emperor Beginning Robe.
- Jiang Fei brought the injured Ge Ya to Xie Feng, who took him to the Xuanji Sect, where Ge Ya awoke with his cultivation sealed and his memories impaired.
- Xie Feng killed Jiang Ke and, with Sushang, stopped Chi Xuan from attacking Su Jin, then agreed to help Su Jin face his rivals in the Illusory Void Feilian Race.
- Xie Feng, Su Jin, and Ge Ya entered Nan Mingli's forbidden zone, where Xie Feng harvested the eternal grass before returning to Eastern Dawn Valley.
- The reshuffled Heavenly Ranking placed Imperial Evil Realm figures in its top four, while Cheng Hao prepared to face Lu Yinjian and Guiqiu Tianqi weighed his clan's options.
- Lu Yinjian declared the Imperial Evil Realm's return, and Gu Yuan regained his cultivation and advanced to the first tier of Indestructible Saint before telling Lu that the Devil Emperor had become childlike.
