• Mu Fusheng left Luo Ping’s punishment to Chu Xinghe, who stripped Luo Ping of his position and expelled him and the others involved from Star Hall.
• Mu Fusheng asked whether the expelled members might resent Chu Xinghe, who replied that their fate no longer concerned Star Hall.

Chu Xinghe brought Shi Sheng and the others to Star Hall’s supreme treasure, a massive star whose power sustained the city, only to discover it was Shi Sheng’s fourth Star Core. The star began merging with Shi Sheng’s cultivation, leaving him struggling to contain its surging power while Chu Xinghe watched in alarm.

• Chu Xinghe led the group up a star-filled staircase and explained that Mu Fusheng, Jiu Bailu, and especially Shi Sheng had strong affinities for stellar presence.
• Chu Xinghe showed them the enormous star that supplied much of Star Hall’s power and said absorbing its star power could benefit Shi Sheng’s cultivation.
• Shi Sheng revealed that the star was the fourth Star Core needed to advance his cultivation method, and his five Star Cores resonated with it.
• Chu Xinghe objected that he could not give away Star Hall’s supreme treasure, but a vortex appeared and pulled the enormous star toward Shi Sheng’s independent starry sky.
• As the tower trembled and stellar power surged into him, Shi Sheng sat down to circulate the Chaos Stars Record while Chu Xinghe realized his treasure was being taken.

Shi Sheng absorbed the fourth Star Core, flooding his body with more Power of the Stars than his meridians could safely contain and triggering a Fifth-Level Lightning Tribulation. As the tribulation tore through him, he kept focusing on absorption, leaving Chu Xinghe worried and unable to intervene.

• The enormous star vanished from beneath the tower's dome and appeared in Shi Sheng's Starry Sky Dantian, filling his body with immense Power of the Stars.
• Shi Sheng's presence surged as his body swelled under the strain, and a lightning tribulation gathered above Star Hall.
• Chu Xinghe realized that Shi Sheng's overflowing power and the coming tribulation left him in grave danger, while Mu Fusheng sent Lu Changsheng a warning.
• Jiu Bailu said Shi Sheng's karma would not be severed there, and lightning dragons struck him as he continued absorbing the Power of the Stars.
• The lightning split Shi Sheng's skin and charred his flesh, but he only grunted, spat blood, and kept absorbing without resisting.

Shi Sheng endured the fifth-level lightning tribulation and absorbed the fourth Star Core, draining the Star Hall of its stellar power. Chu Xinghe asked how they would resolve the loss, and Mu Fusheng revealed that their master was already there.

• Shi Sheng endured the increasingly destructive tribulation lightning as Chu Xinghe, Xiao Hei, and the others watched anxiously.
• After the sixth strike, the Star Cores restored Shi Sheng’s ruined body with the power of the stars, allowing him to withstand the remaining bolts more easily.
• Shi Sheng completed the fifth-level lightning tribulation and absorbed the fourth Star Core into his Starry Sky Dantian.
• Chu Xinghe confronted Shi Sheng about the Star Hall’s dwindling stellar power and offered him the position of his final disciple, but Shi Sheng said he already had a master.
• Mu Fusheng suggested letting their master resolve the problem, and a white-robed man appeared before them.

Lu Changsheng arrived at Star Hall after Mu Fusheng called him to deal with the damage to its star. He created a vast source of stellar power for the sect, then considered how to connect it to the real starry sky.

• Lu Changsheng scolded Shi Sheng, Xiao Hei, and Mu Fusheng for summoning him, then panicked when Chu Xinghe claimed to have heard his name.
• Chu Xinghe explained that Shi Sheng’s lightning tribulation had damaged Star Hall’s star and asked whether Lu Changsheng could find a replacement.
• Lu Changsheng said he could make a source of stellar power himself and filled the space above the tower with countless stars.
• The stars’ power poured through the tower, making the Power of the Stars in Star Hall hundreds of times denser than before.
• Lu Changsheng said the tower needed to connect to the real starry sky for its power supply to continue, and Chu Xinghe apologized for asking him to become his disciple.

Lu Changsheng used an ordinary flower vase to draw the Power of the Stars into the tower and distribute it throughout the Star Hall, vastly increasing its reserves. Chu Xinghe learned the vessel was only a flower vase and ended the chapter feeling as if he were having a breakdown.

• Lu Changsheng explained that he needed a vessel to absorb and store the Power of the Stars before sending it to the tower's hub.
• Lu Changsheng used a muddy flower vase to gather starlight from the sky and channel it through the tower.
• The Power of the Stars across the Star Hall recovered and became dozens of times denser and more abundant.
• Chu Xinghe praised the vase as a divine treasure and asked Lu Changsheng what it was.
• Lu Changsheng told Chu Xinghe that it was an ordinary flower vase, leaving Chu Xinghe stunned and feeling as if he were having a breakdown.

After Lu Changsheng restored Star Hall with a vase, Chu Xinghe told Mu Fusheng and the others about the approaching Chaos Divine Dynasty ruins. Shi Sheng discovered a baffling link between the ruins’ Star Core and the Chaos Stars Record, while the group learned the ruins would appear in six days.

• Chu Xinghe realized Lu Changsheng had restored Star Hall with a vase and suspected Lu Changsheng had reached the peak of the Realm God Realm.
• Chu Xinghe revealed that he had obtained the Star Core in the Chaos Divine Dynasty’s ruins, and Shi Sheng learned that a star expert there had cultivated it.
• Shi Sheng, the Star God Emperor, and the guardian spirit wondered how the Star Core could connect to the Chaos Stars Record despite the ten-million-year gap; Lu Changsheng asked the system, which confirmed the Star God Emperor alone had created the record.
• Chu Xinghe explained that the ruins would appear in six days, that entrants needed a Sun and Moon Token to have a chance at reaching the core, and that only those below the Domain Divine Realm could enter.
• Mu Fusheng and the others agreed that taking Lu Changsheng as their master was great fortune, and Lu Changsheng sarcastically agreed that he was blessed to have them.

As the Chaos Divine Dynasty's ruins prepared to open, Mu Fusheng and his companions divided up to visit different sites, while Chu Xinghe warned them about powerful prodigies Su Yuan and He Mengshen. Their departure set the Chaos Realm in motion, drawing hidden figures and rival forces toward the ruins; the chapter ends as the sun and moon rise together across the realm.

• Chu Xinghe explained that the ruins' first trial tested human nature and identified Su Yuan and He Mengshen as prodigies to watch.
• Mu Fusheng, Ye Qiubai, Xu Yeming, and their companions chose separate ruins to approach the Xu Clan and Xuanyuan Clan and improve their chances of obtaining Sun and Moon Tokens.
• Mu Fusheng, Mu Wan'er, and Fang Qiong handed out talismans, pills, and array scrolls, while Chu Xinghe provided maps and arranged protection for the travelers.
• The Star Hall's group and the two clans set out as cultivators across the Chaos Realm began heading toward the ruins.
• A bald wanderer, Listening Wind Pavilion Master Nan Tingfeng, and Cangxuan Academy's Ding Xuan each prepared to act amid the coming upheaval.
• The sun and a bright moon appeared together, throwing every corner of the Chaos Realm into turmoil.

The Chaos Divine Dynasty’s ruins emerged across the Chaos Realm, drawing powerful sects and clans to seek Sun and Moon Tokens. Xu Luo and Xuanyuan Che’s groups arrived at separate ruins, where their clans warned them about their supposed allies and ordered them to target one another; Ye Qiubai and Xuanyuan Che acknowledged their opposing sides before entering the ruins.

• The Chaos Divine Dynasty’s ruins surfaced throughout the four regions, and cultivators rushed to claim their legacies and Sun and Moon Tokens.
• The Golden Scale Sect encountered detachments led by Xuanyuan Zixi and Xu Luo at an ice palace ruin and realized it could not easily claim the site.
• Xu Cangyuan warned Xu Luo and Xu Chen that the Xuanyuan Clan would undermine them in the contest for a Sun and Moon Token.
• A Xuanyuan Clan elder told Xuanyuan Che’s group to distrust the Xu Clan and instructed them to kill Ye Qiubai and seize his Sword Bone legacy.
• Xuanyuan Che defended Ye Qiubai’s Sword Dao talent against his arrogant clanmates, then Ye Qiubai told him they would not hold back against each other’s clans.

Ye Qiubai and the Cottage disciples entered the Chaos Divine Dynasty ruins and faced separate trials shaped around their nature. Ye Qiubai passed his test by refusing to claim a divine sword dishonestly, then learned that the sword he had found was essential to obtaining the Sun and Moon Token.

• The Cottage disciples entered the ruins and used their voice transmission jade pendants to compare the blood-soaked spaces and objects each had encountered.
• Mu Fusheng reasoned that the disciples had been sent to separate spaces and advised them to split up and stay cautious.
• Ye Qiubai defeated the skeletons guarding the sword, picked it up, and was transported to a palace beside a bottomless fissure.
• An old man's remnant soul offered Ye Qiubai a Realm God-level divine sword, but Ye Qiubai refused to lie and claim it as his own.
• After seeing Ye Qiubai's swords, the old man returned the sword Ye Qiubai had found and told him it was indispensable for obtaining the Sun and Moon Token, then vanished.

Mu Fusheng and Xiao Hei faced the old man’s reward trials, each responding in a way that frustrated his expectations. Mu Fusheng took three treasures and entered Heaven-Scheming Hall, while Xiao Hei was challenged to defeat a skeleton to claim two weapons.

• The old man offered Mu Fusheng a lightning essence, a Realm God-grade talisman brush, and a peak Realm God-grade talisman crafting diagram, but Mu Fusheng suspected a trap and refused to choose.
• The old man lost his temper and threw all three treasures to Mu Fusheng, who inspected them, stored them separately, and entered Heaven-Scheming Hall after its plaque appeared.
• Mu Fusheng sent a voice transmission recounting what happened before stepping into the hall, and the archway closed behind him.
• The old man offered Xiao Hei a halberd he had supposedly dropped, but Xiao Hei also demanded the gauntlets and said Mu Fusheng had taken three items.
• The old man summoned a middle-stage Lord Divine Realm skeleton wielding the halberd and gauntlets, and challenged Xiao Hei to defeat it for both weapons.
• Xiao Hei welcomed the fight, eager for a chance to battle after not getting enough combat at the Seven Treasures Holy Sect.

Xiao Hei defeated the skeleton guarding Hegemonic Enterprise Hall and entered, while Mu Fusheng worked out how the three halls awarded their Law Treasures. Xu Yeming tricked the old man into giving up both treasures and entered Heaven-Scheming Hall, leaving the old man wondering who could lead such an extraordinary lineage.

• Xiao Hei destroyed the skeleton with the Nine Heavens Devil Halberd, reclaimed the halberd and gauntlets, and entered Hegemonic Enterprise Hall.
• Hong Ying and Xiao Shitou entered Hegemonic Enterprise Hall, Ning Chenxin, Shi Sheng, Fang Qiong, and Mo Yu entered Good Water Hall, and Mu Wan'er entered Heaven-Scheming Hall.
• Mu Fusheng deduced that Good Water Hall tested honesty, Hegemonic Enterprise Hall tested strength, and Heaven-Scheming Hall tested schemes.
• Xu Yeming told the old man that the other cultivators were his senior brothers and sisters, who had already revealed the test's answers.
• Xu Yeming made the old man drop both Law Treasures into a rift, then persuaded him to retrieve and hand them over.
• Xu Yeming entered Heaven-Scheming Hall, while the old man wondered whether the lineage's master came from outside.

Ye Qiubai was transported into a city-defense trial before he could fight the Xuanyuan Clan cultivators, and learned he had to defend the city for seven days or force the enemy to withdraw. Faced with the choice of surrendering a divine weapon or resisting overwhelming forces, he suspected the trial tested more than survival.

• The Xuanyuan Clan cultivators surrounded Ye Qiubai and demanded his Cloud Azure Sword and Sword Bone, but Xuanyuan Che stopped them from attacking before the trial began.
• After the last cultivator entered Good Water Hall, the space shifted, placing each cultivator in a separate battlefield where they could see but not aid one another.
• Ye Qiubai read the trial instructions: defend the city for seven days or make the enemy withdraw, with the earlier Law Treasure usable only three times.
• A general outside the city offered to withdraw if Ye Qiubai surrendered the divine weapon and the city's commanders, while the city's armored general warned that surrender would doom the kingdom's people.
• Ye Qiubai questioned why the armored general described consequences beyond the trial's stated conditions and wondered whether this challenge was another test of human nature.

Ye Qiubai rejected the chance to surrender the Rebirth Flag and chose to defend the city for seven days. As enemy forces besieged the walls with ten thousand swords, he used his Sword Domain and Geng Metal Sword Case to hold them back.

• Ye Qiubai took the Rebirth Flag from the armored man and realized surrendering it would expose the people to control.
• Ye Qiubai ordered the city’s Divine Realm and stronger cultivators to defend the walls, while Xuanyuan Che and four other Xuanyuan Clan members chose the same path.
• The enemy commander ordered his troops to storm the city and rain longswords down on its defenders.
• Ye Qiubai raised his Sword Domain, strengthening friendly sword cultivators and suppressing the enemy.
• Ye Qiubai sent nine swords from his Geng Metal Sword Case to stop the descending swords from reaching the city.

Ye Qiubai held the wall against a sword rain and faced six Lord Divine Realm enemies after the defenders split off to fight the others. He drew an ancient sheathed sword and killed two attackers with a single strike, leaving the enemy commander and remaining fighters horrified.

• Ye Qiubai used his Sword Domain to withstand the raining swords, astonishing the Xuanyuan Clan descendants who watched from nearby spaces.
• The enemy commander led twelve Lord Divine Realm experts to attack Ye Qiubai, while seven defenders intercepted seven of them.
• Ye Qiubai used the Geng Metal Sword Case and his Sword Domain to hold the commander and five other enemies at bay.
• Two Lord Divine Realm experts charged Ye Qiubai from either side, and the commander ordered them to retreat when he sensed danger from Ye Qiubai’s ancient sword.
• Ye Qiubai drew the sword and cut the two attackers in half with one strike, then told the horrified survivors that he had more swords.

Ye Qiubai fought off a late-stage Lord Divine Realm commander and three early-stage experts while wielding the Azure Cloud Sword, but their coordinated assault left him badly injured and trapped. As all four charged again, he recalled the Sword Immortal painting and began to imitate the sword dance depicted in it.

• Ye Qiubai used the Azure Cloud Sword to kill two early Lord Divine Realm opponents, startling the Xuanyuan Clan descendants watching the battle.
• The commander led three early Lord Divine Realm experts in a coordinated attack, and Ye Qiubai blocked their strikes but suffered severe injuries.
• Ye Qiubai realized he needed to kill the commander or escape the encirclement to break the deadlock, but neither option seemed possible.
• Ye Qiubai recalled the Sword Immortal painting and began dancing with his sword as the four opponents charged, filling the space with a profound Sword Dao presence.

Ye Qiubai comprehended the Sword Immortal’s sword dance in the painting and entered a special Celestial Person State, where he practiced it while fighting. As the enemy commander sealed him in with a mass of swords, Ye Qiubai’s sword winds formed around him, though his face grew pale.

• Ye Qiubai saw the Sword Immortal’s elaborate sword dance as a perfectly balanced technique that attacked and defended without wasting energy.
• Ye Qiubai entered the Celestial Person State, and the Azure Cloud Sword began tracing the movements from the painting.
• The enemy commander and three Early Lord Divine Realm experts prepared a combined attack while the Xuanyuan Clan members watched in shock.
• Xuanyuan Ling explained that Ye Qiubai had entered a rare Celestial Person State that allowed him to practice a technique subconsciously, and Xuanyuan Che urged the clan to take his Sword Dao talent seriously.
• The enemy commander sealed Ye Qiubai inside a dense net of illusory swords and ordered the others to attack.
• Ye Qiubai continued the sword dance as seamless sword winds whirled around him, though his face grew increasingly pale.

Ye Qiubai used the celestial person state and the Sword Immortal’s sword dance to withstand the enemy commander and three lord divine realm cultivators. He destroyed their attacks, gravely wounded the commander, and left the observers staring in terror at his sword technique.

• Ye Qiubai formed a spherical sword net that pierced through the three early lord divine realm cultivators’ attacks and resisted the commander’s ten thousand illusory swords.
• Xuanyuan Che marveled at Ye Qiubai’s ability to fight head-on, while Xuanyuan Ling put away his external aids and charged into battle with his sword.
• The enemy commander merged his illusory swords into an enormous blade and sent it crashing toward Ye Qiubai.
• Ye Qiubai’s sword net scattered into strands of Sword Qi that devoured the enormous blade and made it vanish.
• Ye Qiubai’s Sword Qi pierced the three early lord divine realm cultivators’ organs, souls, and dantians, while the commander escaped with both arms lost and severe injuries.

Ye Qiubai endured a ranged assault as his sixth lightning tribulation began, while the other cultivators faced battlefield trials across the ruins. The chapter left Xu Yeming infiltrating the enemy ranks and urging them to break through the city.

• Ye Qiubai’s strength and sixth lightning tribulation stunned the Xuanyuan Clan’s direct descendants, who still coveted his inheritance and planned to kill him.
• The enemy commander ordered ranged attacks on Ye Qiubai, but Ye Qiubai remained protected by his Sword Domain and the troops defending the walls.
• Shi Sheng, Fang Qiong, and Mo Yu passed their trials in the Good Water Hall, while Ning Chenxin faced a different kind of trial.
• Hong Ying and Xiao Hei chose to defend their imperial capitals for seven days, and Xiao Hei charged into the enemy ranks, using his bloodline and talismans to recover and return to battle.
• Mu Fusheng concealed himself among his troops and used talismans to attack the enemy, while Xu Yeming disguised himself as an enemy soldier and shouted for them to break through the city.

Xu Yeming infiltrated the enemy army during Heaven-Scheming Hall’s trial, seized command of a force, and distributed supposed enhancement scrolls while Mu Fusheng stayed concealed. Xu Yeming reached the supreme commander with another scroll, but the commander doubted his claim that it was a formation.

• Mu Fusheng concealed himself while Xu Yeming disguised himself as an enemy soldier and urged the defenders to fight.
• Xu Yeming infiltrated the Crystal Army, poisoned its commander, and took his identity and uniform.
• Xu Yeming ordered the Crystal Army to distribute painting scrolls, claiming they would enhance nearby troops, and persuaded the soldiers that he had bought them for the country.
• Xu Yeming rode to the supreme commander’s tent and presented another scroll as a group-enhancement formation, but the commander pointed out that it was a painting.

Xu Yeming exposed the examiner’s scheme, unleashed painted Taotie to devastate the enemy armies, and passed the trial early. Watching him, Xu Chen grew convinced that “Xu Luo” might actually be Xu Yeming and wondered how to respond.

• Xu Yeming baited the commander into revealing that he was the examiner from the previous trial, and the commander ordered the soldiers to kill him.
• Xu Yeming painted Taotie into existence, and the beasts erupted from the paintings to devour enemy soldiers and engage Lord Divine Realm experts.
• Xu Yeming used a Directional Heavenly Lightning Escape Talisman to return to the city wall, and the commander declared him to have passed the trial.
• Xu Chen noticed that “Xu Luo” acted unlike the person he knew and considered whether Xu Yeming had replaced him.
• Xu Chen wondered whether to kill “Xu Luo” inside the ruins or gather evidence and report the matter to the Lineage.

Ning Chenxin’s trial placed him in a peaceful village threatened by his nation’s soldiers, who planned to turn its people into living bombs against an invading army. He stood up to the soldiers and refused to let any villager be sent to die, leaving the confrontation unresolved.

• Ning Chenxin spent two days teaching the villagers and learned their village stood on a vital defensive route.
• Dark clouds gathered on the third day, and a villager asked Ning Chenxin to save the village.
• The village chief explained that soldiers demanded the villagers accept self-detonation talismans and attack the enemy, while refusing to let women and children leave.
• Ning Chenxin stepped forward and told the soldiers he would fight them rather than let anyone be sent to die.
