• Lin Yu changed the system's Fame Point notification threshold to 1,000, but the alerts continued arriving frequently.

Lin Yu used the Demon Race’s growing influence to expand the Primordial Hall’s fame, then created rankings for the demon domain. The rankings revealed that the Demon Race’s young fighters and leading races were far stronger than he had expected.

• Lin Yu decided to publish Demon Race rankings, including a ranking of its strongest races and a possible ranking of its territories.
• Lin Yu generated the Demon Race Heaven’s Chosen Ranking, which placed sealed Kongming Beast Clan member Nie Hanchi first and showed that its entrants were at least in the Spirit Light Realm.
• Lin Yu generated a ranking of the demon domain’s top hundred races and found that the True Dragon Race had thirteen Saint Venerables and hundreds of other Saint-level experts.
• Lin Yu read that the second-ranked Golden Peng Clan also had numerous Saint-level experts.

Lin Yu examined the Demon Race’s strength and learned that the Four Domains Alliance’s Emperor-level secret treasure helped keep the Demon Race at bay. After discovering that Nie Hanchi’s Kongming Beast Clan came from beyond the Xuanxuan Plane, he asked the system to rank Demon Race territories within the plane.

The Demon Race was shaken by the Primordial Hall’s rankings, which revealed extensive information about its races and cultivators. The Golden Peng Clan rallied ninety-eight races to attack the Primordial Hall, while the True Dragon Race refused to join; the Golden Peng Clan’s patriarch then led the alliance toward the nine heavens.

• Demon Race cultivators feared the Primordial Hall after learning it had published detailed rankings and resolved not to provoke it.
• The Golden Peng Clan’s leaders declared they would attack the Primordial Hall in three days and invited the other ranked races to join them.

• The Golden Peng Clan’s patriarch mocked the True Dragon Race, rallied the alliance, and led the forces toward the nine heavens.

The Demon Race gathered a million-strong force and advanced toward the Primordial Hall, drawing the Four Domains Alliance’s attention. The Alliance decided not to intervene but to observe, while Gu Yongchun met Elder Yexue and Yu Hanshuang prepared for the approaching army.

• The Golden Peng Clan patriarch led thousands of Saint-level demons toward Human Race territory, and millions eventually joined the march to the Primordial Hall.

• Yu Hanshuang sensed the Demon Race approaching and began revealing her concealed cultivation.
• The million-strong Demon Race army passed through Human Race territory without attacking, alarming cultivators who saw it heading toward the Vast God Domain.

The Golden Peng Clan led a massive Demon Race army to Primordial City, claiming the Primordial Hall was their target, while Human Race sects gathered to watch. Lin Yu finished upgrading Lin Baigu to the peak of the Late Saint Venerable Realm as the demons surrounded the city and threatened to destroy it, leaving the confrontation about to begin.

• The Golden Peng Clan patriarch announced that his clan was targeting the Primordial Hall and led the demons toward Primordial City.

Lin Yu waited as the Demon Race’s million-strong army advanced on Primordial City, expecting the battle to increase the Primordial Hall’s fame and bring him closer to an upgrade. The city’s formations destroyed the demons sent to scout Hongmeng Mountain, while Ancestor Yexue took interest in the Primordial Hall’s formation master.

• Lin Yu checked his Fame Points and considered what direction the Primordial Hall should take after its next upgrade.
• The Golden Peng patriarch ordered Saint Kings and a hundred Saints to scout Hongmeng Mountain.
• Primordial City activated ten peak Saint-level formations, which annihilated hundreds of Saint King demons with pillars of light.
• The demon patriarchs realized the formations could make further attacks costly, while Ancestor Yexue said the Primordial Hall’s formation master would suit the Valley of Devouring.
• Gu Yongchun doubted that Ancestor Yexue’s plans would go smoothly and sensed a pressure in him like the pressure he had felt from Lin Yu.

Jin Zhanchi called on Shen Luofeng to support the Demon Race assault on Primordial City, and Shen used Ancient Phoenix Feathers to attack the city’s formation. Lin Yu altered the formation with the Primordial Compass, turning it against the phoenix phantom and leaving Shen shocked as its power drained away.

• Jin Zhanchi asked Shen Luofeng to contribute to the attack, and Shen agreed before appearing outside Primordial City.
• Shen Luofeng sent an Ancient Phoenix Feather into the formation, summoning a phoenix phantom that broke through a hidden formation in the void.
• Lin Yu identified the feather with his system and used the Primordial Compass to make the formation fire-attribute, allowing it to absorb the phoenix’s flames.
• Shen Luofeng sent two more Ancient Phoenix Feathers into the formation, enlarging and strengthening the phoenix phantom.
• Ten formations suppressed the phantom as golden threads bound it and drained its power, leaving Shen Luofeng alarmed by the weakening phoenix.

• Elder Yexue and the other cultivators recognized the strengthened formation as Great Emperor level as it overwhelmed the Ancient Phoenix Clan.

Lin Yu's empowered formation annihilated the Phoenix Clan's attacking force, prompting Shen Luofeng to invoke a covenant compelling the allied Demon Race clans to help him. A system deduction revealed that their combined spiritual power could allow Shen Luofeng to attempt a breakthrough to the Great Emperor realm.

• The nine elders of Short Sky Island sensed Great Emperor Qi, and Xu Changhao rejoiced at the Demon Race's predicament.
• Lin Yu's formation summoned hundreds of flame Gods and Devils that reduced a hundred Saints and thirty Saint Kings of the Phoenix Clan to ashes.
• Shen Luofeng concluded that the formation was Emperor-level and that Lin Yu possessed Quasi-Emperor-level strength.
• Shen Luofeng demanded that Jin Zhanchi fulfill their covenant, and Jin Zhanchi ordered the allied Demon Race clans to act together to avoid backlash.
• The system revealed to Lin Yu that the covenant required the allied clans to preserve the Phoenix Clan and could enable Shen Luofeng to attempt a Great Emperor breakthrough through their combined spiritual power.
• Lin Yu learned that a successful breakthrough would require the Phoenix Clan to leave the Xuanxuan Plane within three days and never return.

Lin Yu realized that revealing the Demon Race’s clan rankings had driven its clans to bind themselves in a covenant to make Shen Luofeng an Emperor. As the clans poured their fortune toward Hongmeng Mountain, observers warned that the plan threatened to shift the balance between the Demon and Human Races.

• Lin Yu examined the covenant and regretted exposing the Demon Race’s strength, while noting that Shen Luofeng’s ambition might destroy the Phoenix Clan without solving the dangers beyond the Xuanxuan Plane.

• Lin Yu watched as Shen Luofeng merged the nine drops of Ancient Phoenix blood into his body and drew in the Demon Race’s dragons of providence to strengthen his bloodline.
• Starlight poured into Shen Luofeng, and his Ancient Phoenix phantom grew as the Xuanxuan Plane’s inhabitants felt the pressure of a Great Emperor.
• Shen Luofeng declared that he had become an emperor, while Lin Yu said he was showing off on the wrong person’s turf and used the System to project himself above Hongmeng Mountain.
• Lin Yu asked Shen Luofeng whether he had played enough, astonishing Shen Luofeng, the Four Domains Alliance patriarch, and Elder Yexue with his sudden appearance.
