As his second lifetime neared its end, Xiao Ping'an was ambushed by eight Dark Supremes who sought to divide up his body, treasures, and loved ones. He faced them beneath the Cosmic Frontier as the Desolate Pagoda and Lingbao Heavenly Venerable's Killing Formation Diagram appeared among their weapons.

• Xiao Ping'an merged his nine Divine Forms into the Tyrant Body Battle Immortal, which tore through space and knocked the formation diagram askew, shocking the Dark Supremes.

They defeated the reborn being at the Cosmic Frontier with their immortal weapons, destroying its soul.

• Chuan Ying and Xiao Ping'an crushed the Saint-level God-Devouring Insects, revealing that the golden mountain beneath them was a True Immortal-level insect corpse.
• The corpse absorbed the Arctic Sea Eye’s mist, Lunar Power, and surrounding essence, awakened, and formed a sentient soul that transformed into a gaunt old man.

• Emperor Venerable’s Power of Faith burned the God-Slaying Insect’s soul, and Xiao Ping'an extracted and ground away its primordial spirit before the saber absorbed its essence.

Xiao Ping'an stopped the God-Slaying Insect’s corpse from undergoing Dao transformation, extracted its essence, and studied its immortal Dao runes with Emperor Venerable.

• Emperor Venerable agreed to let Xiao Ping'an visit the Ninety-Nine Dragon Mountains when he grew old, and Xiao Ping'an set out for the Underworld with Chuan Ying.

• The Heaven-Penetrating Nether Treasure emerged from the cave and challenged Xiao Ping'an, who declared himself the boss of the Underworld.

Xiao Ping'an subdued the Heaven-Penetrating Nether Treasure in the Underworld and studied its immortal dao runes while preparing to live a fourth lifetime.

He then visited the Heavenly Soldier Ancient Star, took much of its Immortal Platform divine liquid, and faced the Great Perfection Saint Spirit guarding it.

• The Great Perfection Saint Spirit attacked Xiao Ping'an with his Dragon Marked Black Gold token, confident that Emperor Venerable's Nine Secrets: Jie would let him kill the intruder.

Xiao Ping'an took Lingbao Heavenly Venerable’s Immortal Platform and divine liquid, then discovered they could form a sarira-like bead that might preserve Lingbao Heavenly Venerable’s chance of revival. He later began developing the Big Dipper by moving humans there and establishing two protected holy lands, leaving their future prosperity supported by Extreme Dao Weapons and powerful scriptures.
