Arc 5The Rise of the Nine Netherworlds
Su Xiuyi defeated the Blood Demon and Shadow Pavilion Invincibles, revived his allies, and took control of the Eighteen Halls of the Netherworld. After uncovering clues about the Undying Blood Clan and advancing to Peak Invincible, he confronted Shen Dong, who had come to threaten his allies.
- Su Xiuyi killed the Blood Tiger, Holy Python, and Shadow King’s avatar, while Zhou Yunlong and the Corpse Servant helped defeat the attackers and later returned from self-destruction.
- Su Xiuyi advanced his Character Dao to Invincible, then led the Nine Netherworlds Hall against the Nether Hall and the other forces of the Eighteen Halls.
- Su Xiuyi killed Ghost Scholar and won the submission of the surrounding Invincibles, establishing the Nine Netherworlds Hall’s control over the Land of Chaos.
- At a hidden underground palace, Su Xiuyi found the remains of the Literary Saint’s ninth disciple and learned that an Undying Blood Clan soul had been sealed in his Sea of Will.
- Su Xiuyi inferred that Su Tianlong had taken the disciple’s secret art, while Hu Qingyun reached Invincible in both literary and martial paths and prepared for revenge.
- Su Xiuyi obtained the Greater Celestial Circuit Divine Art and began cultivating it as Shen Dong arrived at Southern Heaven Academy and demanded Tie Ling’s service.
- Su Xiuyi recognized Shen Dong as a likely pawn of Su Tianlong who carried Undying Clan blood, and secretly promised Tie Ling he would protect her.
- Shen Dong went to Myriad Text Academy to threaten Hu Qingyun, but Su Xiuyi revealed himself, froze Shen Dong’s Great River Sword with a word, and disclosed that he had reached Peak Invincible.
