Lu Changsheng planned to separate Xu Baorui, Ding Wanshan, and Tang Huai so he could kill them without revealing himself, while keeping his main body beside Jiang Yiyu as an alibi. At the Divine Source Core, their attack on the Soul-Devouring Spider Mother triggered an ancient sword formation, and the group was surrounded by Sword Qi.

• Lu Changsheng decided to use the dangers of the Land of Divine Rupture to split up Xu Baorui, Ding Wanshan, and Tang Huai before killing them one by one.
• Jiang Yiyu warned Lu Changsheng to stay beside her as the group found a Divine Source Core guarded by four Half-Step Domain Divine Realm Soul-Devouring Spiders and an Early Stage Domain Divine Realm spider mother.
• Xu Baorui, Ding Wanshan, and Tang Huai explained the spiders' deadly attacks, then joined Jiang Yiyu in preparing to strike the spider mother.
• Jiang Yiyu, Xu Baorui, Ding Wanshan, and Tang Huai launched a full-power attack, while Lu Changsheng pretended to attack and secretly sent part of his power toward an ancient sword formation.
• The spider mother blocked the group's attacks, and Lu Changsheng's diverted power activated the ancient sword formation, filling the area with Sword Qi.

Lu Changsheng used the ancient sword array’s activation and the Soul-Devouring Spider Mother’s attack to scatter Xu Baorui, Ding Wanshan, and Tang Huai. As he fled with Jiang Yiyu and secretly sent External Avatars after the three men, he spotted a powerful exotic beast near Tang Huai’s escape route.

• The ancient sword array manifested nine blood moons and a vast rain of blood swords, while Lu Changsheng privately assessed how useful its powers could be.
• The Soul-Devouring Spider Mother unleashed a space-sealing web, and Jiang Yiyu grabbed Lu Changsheng as the group retreated amid approaching exotic beasts.
• Xu Baorui, Ding Wanshan, and Tang Huai split up to escape the array, while Jiang Yiyu urged Lu Changsheng to stay close to her.
• Lu Changsheng sent three hidden External Avatars after the fleeing men and confirmed that the concealed watcher had not noticed them.
• Lu Changsheng spotted an exotic beast, apparently close in cultivation to the Soul-Devouring Spider Mother, charging toward it along Tang Huai’s route.

Lu Changsheng manipulated the Ancient Sword Formation and Bone-Eroding Dragon Vultures to make Tang Huai's death look like an accident. Tang Huai realized Zhongsheng had orchestrated his death before the Soul-Devouring Spider Mother consumed his soul, while Jiang Yiyu and the hidden observer witnessed the scene.

• Lu Changsheng accelerated the Ancient Sword Formation's blood swords toward Tang Huai, exposing him to the Bone-Eroding Dragon Vultures.
• Tang Huai's jade pendant released a powerful suppressive presence that briefly stopped the beasts and formations, but Lu Changsheng's Holy Qi made the Bone-Eroding Dragon Vultures attack anyway.
• The Bone-Eroding Dragon Vultures destroyed Tang Huai's body, and Lu Changsheng trapped his escaping soul and sent it into the spiderwebs.
• As the Soul-Devouring Spider Mother drained his soul, Tang Huai recognized Zhongsheng as the one behind the attack and died with hatred and regret.
• Jiang Yiyu and the hidden observer witnessed Tang Huai's soul being consumed by the Soul-Devouring Spider Mother.

As Jiang Yiyu and Lu Changsheng fled the Land of Divine Rupture, Tang Huai and Ding Wanshan died, while Lu Changsheng secretly trapped Xu Baorui in a spatial formation. He killed Xu Baorui inside the sealed cage and erased his body, leaving Jiang Yiyu unaware of his actions.

• Tang Huai died after the Bone-Eroding Dragon Vulture, ancient sword formation, and Soul-Devouring Spider Mother attacked him, and Jiang Yiyu warned Zhongsheng to follow her path carefully.
• Jiang Yiyu spotted Ding Wanshan in the Soul-Devouring Spider Mother's compound eyes and hurried onward with Lu Changsheng.
• The Chief God of Inspection sent a dagger after Xu Baorui, but Lu Changsheng guided Xu Baorui into a hidden spatial formation and trapped him in a Space Cage.
• Lu Changsheng entered the Space Cage and stabbed Xu Baorui through the heart and Dantian with swords formed from sword intent.
• Xu Baorui recognized Zhongsheng and questioned his strength before Lu Changsheng killed him, destroyed his body, and erased the traces.

The Chief God of Inspection launched a deadly attack on Zhongsheng to test his strength, while Lu Changsheng carefully played the part of a frightened disciple. Just before the spear could kill him, Xuan Heavenly God intervened and stopped it.

• After Tang Huai, Ding Wanshan, and Xu Baorui died without a trace, the Chief God of Inspection decided to create a crisis for Zhongsheng.
• Lu Changsheng realized Xuan Heavenly God had arranged the mission to test him and resolved to hide his true strength while preparing for the worst.
• The Chief God of Inspection sent a devastating spear at Zhongsheng, and Jiang Yiyu tried to stop it with Xuan Heavenly God's red silk.
• The red silk failed and Jiang Yiyu was pushed aside, leaving Lu Changsheng to face the spear alone.
• Lu Changsheng defended himself with Zhongsheng's fifth-level lightning tribulation cultivation and Law Treasures, then Xuan Heavenly God stopped the spear before it struck him.

Xuan Heavenly God’s deadly trial failed to reveal whether Zhongsheng was hiding his strength, so he ordered the Chief God of Inspection to investigate the deaths of Ding Wanshan, Tang Huai, and Xu Baorui. After karmic evidence appeared to clear Zhongsheng, Xuan Heavenly God demanded a more powerful inquiry, and the chapter ended as the Heavenly Dao Edict began receiving Heavenly Dao power.

• Xuan Heavenly God revealed that he had designed the mission to test Zhongsheng and had expected Jiang Yiyu and the others to face mortal danger.
• Jiang Yiyu challenged Xuan Heavenly God over the three deaths, but he dismissed them as a normal cost of cultivation trials and ordered her to report to the Heavenly Palace with Zhongsheng coming to his residence.

• Xuan Heavenly God distrusted the results and ordered the Chief God of Inspection to use the Heavenly Dao Edict.
• The Chief God of Inspection consumed nine Dao Heaven Pills and burned ten thousand years of lifespan to summon the edict, which opened as Heavenly Dao power poured into it.

The Chief God of Inspection used the Heavenly Dao Edict to investigate the deaths of Tang Huai, Ding Wanshan, and Xu Baorui, leaving Xuan Heavenly God and Azure Heavenly God uncertain about their suspicions. Xuan Heavenly God then revealed that Lu Changsheng would help perfect a giant sword for the Divine Realm’s operation against the Lower Five Realms.

• The Chief God of Inspection used the Heavenly Dao Edict and learned that Tang Huai, Ding Wanshan, and Xu Baorui had died during karmic tribulations.

• Xuan Heavenly God told Lu Changsheng that the Divine Realm was preparing major action against the Lower Five Realms and praised his creativity as an artifact refiner.
• Xuan Heavenly God showed Lu Changsheng a giant sword surrounded by nine dragons and asked him to help perfect it.

Lu Changsheng watched Xuan Heavenly God forge the Realm-Slaying Sword, a weapon intended to break through the spatial restrictions separating the Divine Realm from the Lower Five Realms. He suggested adding two channels to help concentrate its powers, secretly directing Xuan Heavenly God to build in a flaw that could shatter the sword and harm the Divine Realm when it was wielded at full strength.

• Xuan Heavenly God explained that the Realm-Slaying Sword needed its final edge before it could become a weapon close to Perfect Creation Grade.
• Xuan Heavenly God began forging the sword with heaven and earth as his furnace while Lu Changsheng considered how to sabotage it without being detected.
• After half a day, Lu Changsheng saw that the sword’s slaughter Qi could not flow fully into its edge and suggested installing a mechanism to improve its concentration.
• Lu Changsheng proposed opening separate channels for the slaughtering power and the Power of Rules of space at the sword’s Great Void position.
• Xuan Heavenly God praised Lu Changsheng’s idea and asked him to explain the method, unaware that the channels would make the sword shatter and backlash when used at full strength.

After completing the Realm-Slaying Sword, Lu Changsheng gained Xuan Heavenly God's trust and received several powerful gifts before being sent to see Jiang Yiyu. When Jiang Yiyu tried to seduce him, Lu Changsheng knocked her unconscious with an illusion technique and resolved to keep his distance.

• Xuan Heavenly God praised Lu Changsheng's artifact-refining skill, declared his suspicions dispelled, and gave him pills, talismans, a forging platform, and a jade pendant.
• Xuan Heavenly God sent Lu Changsheng to Jiang Yiyu and warned him not to let her down.
• Lu Changsheng addressed Jiang Yiyu as Divine Maiden, prompting her to accuse him of distancing himself and remind him they were dao companions.

At the Heaven-Worshipping Ceremony, the Divine Realm gathered to pray for its coming campaign against the Lower Five Realms, while Zhongsheng was inexplicably honored above the assembled disciples. The ceremony boosted the Divine Realm’s providence, and Xuan Heavenly God summoned a colossal nine-dragon sword before him.

• A golden lotus lifted Zhongsheng above the Divine Realm’s disciples, puzzling the crowd and leaving Lu Changsheng confused.
• Azure Heavenly God, Xuan Heavenly God, and Pill Heavenly God appeared with the twelve Chief Gods, and Azure Heavenly God announced that preparations for the operation were complete.

• The pillars formed the Myriad Heavens' Pilgrimage Diagram, whose golden rain increased the providence of those in the Divine Realm.
• Xuan Heavenly God rose and summoned a colossal sword encircled by nine dragons.

Xuan Heavenly God revealed that Zhongsheng had helped complete the Realm-Slaying Sword and Azure Heavenly God honored him for his contributions. Azure Heavenly God proposed that Zhongsheng marry Jiang Yiyu before the operation, but Jiang Yiyu refused, and Zhongsheng was summoned to the Heavenly Palace with the three Heavenly Gods.

• Xuan Heavenly God unveiled the Realm-Slaying Sword and announced that it would let the Divine Realm enter and leave the Lower Five Realms at will.
• Xuan Heavenly God revealed that Zhongsheng had provided the method that completed the sword, and Azure Heavenly God awarded him the foremost credit for the operation’s preparations.
• Azure Heavenly God proposed that Zhongsheng and Jiang Yiyu make their relationship official by marrying before the operation.
• Zhongsheng objected that the marriage was hasty, and Jiang Yiyu declared that she did not wish to marry and that their dual cultivation had only addressed their cultivation problems.
• Pill Heavenly God postponed further discussion, and he told Zhongsheng to accompany the three Heavenly Gods to the Heavenly Palace.

Lu Changsheng faced the three Heavenly Gods, endured Pill Heavenly God's pressure, and learned that Jiang Yiyu had gone to Ice Soul Heart-Sealing Valley. The Heavenly Gods had planned to postpone his marriage to Jiang Yiyu until after the operation, but her sudden departure left them alarmed.

• Lu Changsheng met Xuan Heavenly God, Azure Heavenly God, and Pill Heavenly God in the Heavenly Palace, where Pill Heavenly God tested him with overwhelming pressure.
• Pill Heavenly God turned the test into punishment and demanded to know what Lu Changsheng had done to Jiang Yiyu; Lu Changsheng pretended to be gravely injured and said he and Jiang Yiyu were unsuited.
• Azure Heavenly God decided Lu Changsheng and Jiang Yiyu's marriage would go ahead after the operation, while Pill Heavenly God gave Lu Changsheng a pill and warned him not to hurt her.
• A Divine Envoy reported that Jiang Yiyu had gone to Ice Soul Heart-Sealing Valley, and all three Heavenly Gods reacted with alarm.

Pill Heavenly God sent Lu Changsheng into Ice Soul Heart-Sealing Valley to stop Jiang Yiyu from sealing away her emotions as she pursued the ninth glacier. Lu Changsheng reached the seventh glacier and found her facing a pack of powerful Ice Soul Snow Wolves and their Wolf King.

• Pill Heavenly God warned Lu Changsheng to bring Jiang Yiyu out of the valley before heart-sealing destroyed her emotions, then brought him to its entrance.
• Lu Changsheng entered the valley and secretly surveyed all nine glaciers, discovering that Jiang Yiyu had reached the seventh after absorbing the first six glaciers' frost Yin Qi and Divine Soldiers.
• Lu Changsheng tore through space and traveled directly to the seventh glacier, despite the valley's restrictions.
• Lu Changsheng found Jiang Yiyu unable to reach the seventh Divine Soldier because dozens of Late Stage Domain Divine Realm Ice Soul Snow Wolves and their Peak Domain Divine Realm Wolf King blocked her way.

Lu Changsheng revealed his overwhelming strength to save Jiang Yiyu from the Ice Soul Snow Wolves, then placed a Divine Soul Restriction on her to keep his power secret. Jiang Yiyu was left hurt and frightened, while the Ice Soul Snow Wolf King cowered behind the ice.

• Jiang Yiyu struggled against thirty-two Ice Soul Snow Wolves and their Domain Divine Realm king, and Lu Changsheng debated whether to intervene.
• As Jiang Yiyu charged at the wolves and resigned herself to death, Lu Changsheng stepped in and shattered all thirty-two with a single gesture.
• Jiang Yiyu realized Zhongsheng had hidden his strength and asked how he had entered the valley despite its cultivation limit.
• Lu Changsheng placed a Divine Soul Restriction on Jiang Yiyu, ordered her to keep his secret, and dissolved the sealing that had spread through her body.
• Lu Changsheng spotted the Ice Soul Snow Wolf King trembling behind a block of ice.

Lu Changsheng spared the Ice Soul Snow Wolf King after binding it with a Divine Soul Restriction, then helped Jiang Yiyu claim the ice crystal crown. As they reached the eighth glacier, Jiang Yiyu inferred Lu Changsheng’s role in the conflict between the Divine Realm and the Lower Five Realms, but he warned her not to reveal what she knew.

• Lu Changsheng killed the Ice Soul Snow Wolf King’s thirty-two subordinates, then accepted the wolf’s offer to guide him through Ice Soul Heart-Sealing Valley and placed a Divine Soul Restriction on it.
• Lu Changsheng sent Jiang Yiyu to subdue the ice crystal crown and protected her from its frost yin Qi as she absorbed it, reaching the late stage of the Domain Divine Realm.
• The ice wall blocking the way disappeared after Jiang Yiyu claimed the crown, and the Ice Soul Snow Wolf King led Lu Changsheng and Jiang Yiyu toward the eighth glacier.
• Jiang Yiyu questioned Lu Changsheng about his identity and inferred that he had come from the Lower Five Realms to interfere with the Divine Realm’s plans, including the Realm-Slaying Sword.
• Lu Changsheng warned Jiang Yiyu that her Divine Soul Restriction would destroy her divine soul if she revealed his secrets, just as the Ice Soul Snow Wolf King announced their arrival at the eighth glacier.

Lu Changsheng, Jiang Yiyu, and the Ice Soul Snow Wolf King crossed the eighth glacier and investigated a hidden cave leading into the Ice Rift Canyon. After a mysterious presence drew Lu Changsheng toward the canyon, he sent his External Avatar ahead while the others waited.

• Jiang Yiyu struggled against the eighth glacier’s intense Yin Qi, while Lu Changsheng asked the Ice Soul Snow Wolf King to explain the glacier’s traps.
• The Ice Soul Snow Wolf King told them about a hidden cave leading to the Ice Rift Canyon, where its previous explorers had never returned.
• Lu Changsheng avoided the glacier’s traps and initially refused to enter the cave, but a mysterious presence emerging from it changed his mind.
• Jiang Yiyu and the Ice Soul Snow Wolf King watched Lu Changsheng split into two figures and learned he had formed an External Avatar.
• The group reached the ice field and Lu Changsheng told Jiang Yiyu and the Ice Soul Snow Wolf King to wait while his External Avatar descended into the canyon.

Lu Changsheng sent his External Avatar into Ice Rift Canyon, where it faced spatial distortions and swarms of tiny beetles. After destroying them with the God-Slaying Sword Array, it reached the canyon floor and found a black coffin that held the presence watching him.

• Lu Changsheng sent his External Avatar down Ice Rift Canyon while his original body rested above, and Jiang Yiyu and the Ice Soul Snow Wolf King waited outside.
• As the avatar descended through airless darkness, spatial distortions twisted its clothes, and Lu Changsheng sensed dustlike beetles feeding on the remains below.
• The beetles swarmed the avatar, and Lu Changsheng unleashed the God-Slaying Sword Array, killing them and sending Sword Intent bursting out of the canyon.
• Lu Changsheng reassured Jiang Yiyu and the Ice Soul Snow Wolf King that a barrier hid the attack from the Divine Realm.
• At the canyon bottom, the avatar found a black coffin that was the source of the presence and gaze.

Lu Changsheng confronted Qin Han, the leader of Nüwa’s Heaven-Mending Generals, who explained that the Star Essence was a key that could let the Divine Realm descend upon the Lower Five Realms. Qin Han offered the Heaven-Mending Generals’ aid as the coffin opened, leaving Lu Changsheng poised to learn more about the karma he had stirred.

• Lu Changsheng surrounded the black iron coffin with killing arrays, God-Slaying Swords, a miniature Nine Nether Yellow Springs Grand Array, and his hand cannon before Qin Han spoke from within.
• Qin Han revealed that he had once sent the eighth strand of divine sense into the Changsheng Realm, prompting Lu Changsheng to strengthen its arrays.
• Qin Han identified himself as Qin Zhan’s leader and one of Nüwa’s four Heaven-Mending Generals, explaining that he had been monitoring the Six Realms and waiting for Lu Changsheng.
• Qin Han explained that the Star Essence was a key that the Divine Realm sought to use to open the world and send its people into the Lower Five Realms.
• Lu Changsheng regretted seeking the Star Essence for Shi Sheng, and Qin Han said the cause could not be changed but its effect could be altered.
• Qin Han offered the Heaven-Mending Generals’ service, and the black iron coffin began to open.

Lu Changsheng returned from Ice Rift Canyon and continued toward the ninth glacier with Jiang Yiyu and the Ice Soul Snow Wolf King. At the eighth glacier, the Mystic Ice Luan Phoenix gave up its divine weapon after learning Lu Changsheng had survived the canyon unharmed.

• Lu Changsheng refused to explain what happened in Ice Rift Canyon and led Jiang Yiyu and the Ice Soul Snow Wolf King away after his External Avatar returned alone.
• Azure Heavenly God, Pill Heavenly God, and Xuan Heavenly God discussed sending Zhongsheng to reach Jiang Yiyu and help her escape Ice Soul Heart-Sealing Valley.
• The group encountered the Mystic Ice Luan Phoenix at the eighth glacier, where the Ice Soul Snow Wolf King warned him not to attack and to hand over his divine weapon.
• The Mystic Ice Luan Phoenix realized Lu Changsheng had entered Ice Rift Canyon and emerged unharmed, then offered him the eighth glacier's divine weapon.

Lu Changsheng gained the Mystic Ice Luan Phoenix’s loyalty and helped Jiang Yiyu absorb the Divine Sword before leading the group to the summit of the ninth glacier. There, they found the Eternal Frozen Star Core guarded by a Flood Dragon.

• The Ice Soul Snow Wolf King apologized to Lu Changsheng and offered him the Divine Soldier, then received an ice-attribute pill from Lu Changsheng.
• The Mystic Ice Luan Phoenix praised his own strength and knowledge of the ninth glacier, then asked to stay by Lu Changsheng’s side; Lu Changsheng agreed.
• Lu Changsheng told Jiang Yiyu to absorb the Divine Sword, and he helped her eliminate its side effects as she absorbed it.
• Lu Changsheng, Jiang Yiyu, the Ice Soul Snow Wolf King, and the Mystic Ice Luan Phoenix crossed the ninth glacier and reached its summit.
• They found a Flood Dragon coiled around the Eternal Frozen Star Core, the key to fusing the other eight Divine Soldiers.

Lu Changsheng confronted the Cold Marrow Flood Dragon to claim the Eternal Frozen Star Core, which he intended to use for his companions. After the dragon summoned tens of thousands of High Antiquity Battle Souls, Lu Changsheng destroyed them all with his God-Slaying Swords.

• Lu Changsheng saw the Eternal Frozen Star Core and considered taking it for Shi Sheng, while keeping his plans for Jiang Yiyu's Divine Soldiers in mind.
• The Cold Marrow Flood Dragon attacked the Ice Soul Snow Wolf King and the Mystic Ice Luan Phoenix, but Lu Changsheng erased its breath with a finger.
• Lu Changsheng offered the dragon an ice-attribute pill in exchange for the Eternal Frozen Star Core, but it refused.
• Lu Changsheng suppressed the Cold Marrow Flood Dragon and reached for the core, prompting it to summon tens of thousands of High Antiquity Battle Souls.
• Lu Changsheng unleashed the nine God-Slaying Swords and reduced the High Antiquity Battle Souls to dust.

Lu Changsheng obtained the Eternal Frozen Star Core from the Ice Soul Divine Maiden after agreeing to introduce her to the person who had left Ice Rift Canyon when the time was right. In a secluded ice cave, he told Jiang Yiyu he would keep the core and began preparing materials to find another way to fuse her Divine Soldiers.

• Lu Changsheng annihilated the tens of thousands of ancient battle souls with the nine God-Slaying Swords and reached for the Eternal Frozen Star Core.
• The Ice Soul Divine Maiden appeared with the core, told Lu Changsheng her true body could not defeat him, and asked him to introduce her to the person who had emerged from Ice Rift Canyon.
• Lu Changsheng agreed to ask that person when the time was right, and the Ice Soul Divine Maiden handed him the Eternal Frozen Star Core and opened a hidden ice cave for him and his companions.
• The Cold Marrow Flood Dragon asked why the Ice Soul Divine Maiden had yielded, and she explained that she could not protect the core and preferred not to make an enemy of Lu Changsheng.
• Lu Changsheng sealed and inspected the ice cave, then told Jiang Yiyu he would keep the core and began laying out materials to find another way to fuse her Divine Soldiers.

Lu Changsheng forged a core that fused Jiang Yiyu’s eight Divine Soldiers into a Creation Grade armor set, helping her reach Half-Step Realm God. After Jiang Yiyu asked him to join the Divine Realm, he refused, reminded her of the restriction in her divine soul, and left Ice Soul Heart-Sealing Valley with her.

• Lu Changsheng used the Principles of heaven and earth to forge a core modeled on the Eternal Frozen Star Core in about an incense stick.
• With Lu Changsheng’s help, Jiang Yiyu fused her eight half-step Creation Grade Divine Soldiers and broke through to Half-Step Realm God.
• Jiang Yiyu asked Lu Changsheng why he would not join the Divine Realm, and he rejected the suggestion.
• Lu Changsheng warned Jiang Yiyu that trying to alert the Heavenly Gods would trigger the restriction in her divine soul, then asked the Ice Soul Divine Maiden to open a passage.
• Lu Changsheng and Jiang Yiyu left the valley and were escorted by a Divine Envoy into the Heavenly Palace.

Liu Ziru learned that Lu Changsheng had gone undercover in the Divine Realm to prepare the way for his disciples, so Willow Tree investigated the Chaos Realm’s hidden experts from afar and gave Liu Ziru a detailed report. In the Divine Realm, Lu Changsheng and Jiang Yiyu returned to the Heavenly Palace, where the three Heavenly Gods questioned them about the Divine Soldiers.

• Liu Ziru discovered that Lu Changsheng had gone to the Divine Realm undercover, and Willow Tree explained that he had gone to pave the way for his disciples.
• Liu Ziru told Willow Tree that powerful presences had appeared across the Chaos Realm and that the Dark Domain could not gather intelligence on them.
• Willow Tree sensed the Chaos Realm from Changsheng Realm, recorded the situation and the experts’ strengths in a willow-branch scroll, and gave it to Liu Ziru.
• Lu Changsheng and Jiang Yiyu returned to the Heavenly Palace and were brought before the three Heavenly Gods.
• The Azure Heavenly God checked that Jiang Yiyu’s seven emotions and six desires remained unsealed, while the Xuan Heavenly God praised Lu Changsheng as Zhongsheng.

Lu Changsheng convinced the three Heavenly Gods that Jiang Yiyu had survived Ice Soul Heart-Sealing Valley through her awakened Ice Phoenix Bloodline and his Chaos Dao Fire. They accepted the explanation, postponed the couple’s marriage until after the war, and rewarded Lu Changsheng, while Jiang Yiyu privately saw through his act.

• Lu Changsheng told the Heavenly Gods that Jiang Yiyu had reached the ninth level of the Nine Revolutions Ice Heart Instruction and awakened her Ice Phoenix Bloodline.
• Jiang Yiyu revealed the Ice Phoenix marking on her neck, confirming Lu Changsheng’s explanation.
