• The Transcendence Immortal Venerable used the Feathered Immortal Bone and the Transcendence Ascension Instruction to heal Li Yunjing and protect his divine soul.

• Li Yunjing ordered the Star God to divine the calamity’s arrival; the compass needle shattered, and the Star God warned that it might descend in less than three months.

After learning that Li Yunjing’s Wind Tribulation had brought the God-Slaying Tribulation forward to within three months, Luozhen Sect prepared for the calamity. The first disasters struck three sects in Central Divine Province, and the chapter ended with the badly injured Fairy Qingyuan arriving to seek Li Yunjing and Wangshu.

• The Star God told Li Yunjing and the others that his unprecedented Wind Tribulation had stirred the ten Ancestral Veins and advanced the God-Slaying Tribulation.
• Li Yunjing ordered the sect to enter full combat readiness, strengthen its defenses and fleets, gather supplies, and recruit Rogue Cultivator gods.

• Zhang Jianchen warned the Immortal Alliance’s member sects, and Li Yunjing summoned Wangshu to discuss the catastrophe.
• A disciple reported that the badly injured Fairy Qingyuan, an old friend of Wangshu, had arrived outside the city seeking an audience.

Fairy Qingyuan arrived at Luozhen Sect seeking shelter from the God-Slaying Tribulation, prompting Li Yunjing to open the sect to all gods willing to follow its rules. He built and upgraded the Gods' Hall to level ten, giving its residents protection and cultivation benefits, while its next upgrade promised a divine kingdom.

• Fairy Qingyuan told Wangshu and Li Yunjing that tribulation power had corrupted gods even in sealed secret realms and that nearly thirty percent of Rogue Cultivator gods had died.

• Li Yunjing read that the level-eleven upgrade would create a small divine kingdom, but it required a Heart of Ten Thousand Gods, ten billion power of faith, and a main earth vein eye.

Li Yunjing’s gods settled into the Luozhen Sect’s temple as Primordial Beginning Valley descended into chaos when War God Xuanjie succumbed to the Tribulation Power. Haoyang killed Xuanjie, but the Tribulation Power entered Haoyang’s body, forcing him into seclusion.

• Li Yunjing watched as the gods moved into the Divine Kingdom temple and took up their assigned duties.
• War God Xuanjie’s strange behavior worsened, and he killed Wine Old Man before consuming his divine body and soul.
• Xuanjie broke through to become a Higher God and rampaged through Primordial Beginning Valley, killing disciples and fighting off the gods who tried to stop him.
• Heavenly Lord Haoyang battled Xuanjie for nearly two hours, then pierced his chest and destroyed his body and soul.
• The Tribulation Power entered Haoyang’s body, so he ordered Primordial Lord Bi Shui to manage the sect and went into seclusion.

After Haoyang entered seclusion, Primordial Lord Bi Shui and ten other gods abandoned the Heavenly Hao Alliance and traveled to the Luozhen Sect to seek refuge. Li Yunjing agreed to receive them, and Wangshu went to meet Bi Shui at the border.

• Hundred Herbs Old Immortal persuaded seven other gods to flee Primordial Beginning Valley for the Luozhen Sect while Haoyang remained in seclusion.
• Primordial Lord Bi Shui arrived and revealed she would leave with them, citing Haoyang’s ruthless nature and uncertain survival of the tribulation.
• Eleven gods led by Bi Shui slipped out of Primordial Beginning Valley and headed for Luozhen Province, leaving nearly half the Heavenly Hao Alliance’s gods behind.
• Three days later, Bi Shui announced at the Luozhen Province border that she and ten fellow cultivators had come to seek refuge.
• Li Yunjing accepted their arrival and sent Wangshu to bring them in; Wangshu and Bi Shui greeted each other after meeting at the border.

• Primordial Lord Bi Shui and ten other gods left divine soul imprints, joined Luozhen Sect, and received duties suited to their abilities.
• As word spread, rogue gods flocked to Luozhen Province, bringing Luozhen Sect's number of gods above fifty; Li Yunjing ordered stricter entry requirements and assessments.
• The Gods' Hall weakened Tribulation Qi, helped gods recover, improved disciples' cultivation and craftwork, and strengthened Luozhen Province's defenses and stability.
• Mo Xuan reported the sect's increased resources, completed frigates, reinforced border lines, and ample pill reserves at a gathering of elders and gods.
• Li Yunjing announced that he intended to undergo the Fire Tribulation.

Li Yunjing prepared to undergo the Fire Tribulation with the Divine Seal of Creation’s Meridian-Stabilizing Rune, while the Immortal Alliance warned that the God-Slaying Tribulation was claiming gods across the provinces. Mo Xuan learned that the coming calamity would be devastating, though Luozhen Province’s protections had already weakened its Tribulation Power.

• Li Yunjing rejected a delay before the Fire Tribulation, and the Divine Seal of Creation gave him a Meridian-Stabilizing Rune to weaken Tribulation Power through the earth veins.

• Mo Xuan showed Su Yu the Gods' Hall, where Su Yu witnessed the reduced Tribulation Qi and left to report Luozhen Province's protections to the Alliance Leader.
• Mo Xuan asked the Divine Seal of Creation about the calamity, and its artifact spirit warned that Lower Gods could die within half a month and most Middle Gods within a month, while Luozhen Province's unity and earth-vein protections weakened Tribulation Power by thirty percent.

Li Yunjing completed the Fire Tribulation after refining some of its fire, then prepared for the Dao Realm Grand Assembly while ordering precautions against the growing danger in Primordial Beginning Valley. As Haoyang struggled with Tribulation Power, he chose to absorb it into his divinity, and golden flames surged through his chamber when the last wisp merged.

• Li Yunjing used the Nine-Turn Marrow-Cleansing Instruction to refine tribulation fire and temper his organs during his Fire Tribulation.
• While Li Yunjing was in seclusion, Mo Xuan organized the growing influx of cultivators and gods in Luozhen Province as Primordial Beginning Valley deteriorated and two Lower Gods fled.
• Li Yunjing emerged after seven days having completed the Fire Tribulation and integrated some tribulation fire into his organs.
• Li Yunjing ordered the Third Fleet prepared for the Dao Realm Grand Assembly, accelerated work on the earth-vein barrier, and raised the border alert after learning Haoyang remained silent.
• Haoyang stopped trying to refine the Tribulation Power afflicting him and deliberately absorbed it into his divinity.
• Haoyang merged the final wisp of Tribulation Power into his divinity, causing golden flames to surge throughout his chamber.

Haoyang emerged from seclusion thirty percent stronger after absorbing God-Slaying Tribulation power, only to find the Heavenly Hao Alliance and Primordial Beginning Dao Sect badly depleted by defections. He taught his remaining followers to absorb tribulation power and planned to retrieve Solar Adamantine from the Divine Court Ruins to upgrade his weapon before confronting Li Yunjing.

• Haoyang emerged from seclusion and learned that Primordial Lord Bi Shui and eleven gods had defected to the Luozhen Sect, while more than half the disciples had left.

At Luozhen Sect, Qingyuan and the Star God confirmed that Haoyang and others had absorbed Tribulation Power, and the Divine Seal of Creation revealed that this was a trap that would turn them into powerful puppets when the God-Slaying Tribulation erupted. Li Yunjing ordered the sect to prepare and left for the Immortal Alliance gathering, while Haoyang was expected to seek more Tribulation Qi at the Divine Court Ruins.

• Li Yunjing asked Primordial Lord Bi Shui to compare Haoyang's presence with his former peak strength, and she said he was far stronger.
• Fairy Qingyuan and the Star God divined that Haoyang and several others had fused with Tribulation Power, and that Haoyang had reached the threshold of the Divine Lord realm.
• The Divine Seal of Creation explained that absorbed Tribulation Power would eventually devour the gods' minds and turn them into slaughtering puppets, strengthening the God-Slaying Tribulation.
• Li Yunjing ordered Luozhen Sect to activate its defenses, forbid gods from absorbing Tribulation Power, and coordinate with other factions at the Immortal Alliance gathering.
• The Divine Seal warned that Haoyang would likely seek more Tribulation Qi at the Divine Court Ruins and could lose control early if he absorbed its Origin Tribulation Qi.
• Two days later, Li Yunjing set out for Central Divine Province with Wangshu, Primordial Lord Bi Shui, Hundred Herbs Old Immortal, and other gods.

Li Yunjing arrived in Heaven-Soaring City for the gathering and met the other two Sovereigns of the Immortal Alliance, Dao Lord Xuanyuan and Dao Lord Hanzun. He learned that an upper-realm Immortal Lord Qingxu was seeking a way to target him, and the chapter left him warned to stay cautious.

• Li Yunjing and his companions arrived in Heaven-Soaring City, where cultivators recognized him as a powerful figure of the Dao Realm.

He revealed that Heavenly Lord Haoyang was heading toward the High Antiquity Divine Court Ruins and proposed a coordinated response to the calamity.

• Li Yunjing, Dao Lord Hanzun, Dao Lord Xuanyuan, and Zhang Jianchen discussed the God-Slaying Tribulation before attending the assembly in the Hall of Ten Thousand Immortals.

• Li Yunjing revealed that Heavenly Lord Haoyang had absorbed Tribulation Power and warned that the apparent opportunity was a trap that would eventually turn those who absorbed it into puppets.
• Li Yunjing explained that Haoyang was heading for the High Antiquity Divine Court Ruins, where sealed Origin Tribulation Qi could make him lose control and cause widespread destruction.
• Li Yunjing proposed banning deliberate contact with Tribulation Power, monitoring Tribulation Qi, building earth vein barriers, and uniting mortals, cultivators, and gods.

Li Yunjing persuaded the Immortal Alliance to adopt Luozhen Province’s proven calamity-control system, but an urgent report revealed that Haoyang had invaded the Divine Court Ruins seeking Solar Adamantine. Li Yunjing assembled an expedition to stop him and prepared to depart, relying on the Five Aggregates Cauldron if the battle came down to it.

• Li Yunjing described Luozhen Province’s system for reducing Calamity Qi, and Zhang Jianchen led the factions in agreeing to implement it across the provinces.
• A wounded deacon reported that Haoyang and five calamity-empowered experts had breached the Divine Court Ruins and were heading for the Sun Hall to seize Solar Adamantine.
• Li Yunjing volunteered to lead a force to stop Haoyang before he could reach the ruins’ Origin Calamity Qi.

• Li Yunjing ordered Fang Hexuan, ten battle-formation gods, and Primordial Lord Bi Shui to meet the team at Luofeng Town, then said the Five Aggregates Cauldron would be crucial if needed.

Li Yunjing led an alliance force through the Great Wilderness to pursue Haoyang, who was seeking the Solar Adamantine in the Divine Court Ruins. After reaching the ruins and finding signs of a battle, Li Yunjing’s group entered and hurried after Haoyang, whose presence was already deep inside.

• Li Yunjing gathered nearly five hundred Immortal Alliance, Cold Abyss Battle Division, and formation-team elites at Luofeng Town.
• Primordial Lord Bi Shui explained the Divine Court Ruins’ three layers and described the dangers and route to the Sun Hall.
• Li Yunjing ordered the force to travel through the night, and its fighters repelled attacks by beasts and Tribulation Qi-corrupted Rogue Cultivators along the way.
• At the ruins’ entrance, the group found corpses and bloodstains, suggesting Haoyang and his companions had faced resistance.
• Li Yunjing ordered True Person Qingwei’s formation team to lead and Elder Du'e’s battle division to guard the force as they entered the ruins.

• True Person Qingwei inspected the inner district gate and found three damaged illusion formations and two damaged killing formations that her team could break.
• Fifteen Vicious Spirits attacked, and Elder Du'e led the Cold Abyss Battle Division in killing them.
• Jinyan ambushed Li Yunjing, but Wangshu blocked the golden fire before Jinyan revealed that Haoyang had sent him to delay the group.

• Li Yunjing used the Five Aggregates Cauldron to immobilize and kill Tuling, Fengsha, and the supreme elder, then killed the fleeing Jinyan with Sword Qi.

• Haoyang retreated and unleashed Blazing Sun: Burning Heaven, while Li Yunjing summoned the Five Aggregates Cauldron to protect himself.

Li Yunjing fought Haoyang over the Solar Adamantine while their allies defeated Haoyang’s followers. Haoyang absorbed the Tribulation Qi in the Divine Court Ruins and rose beyond the level of a Divine Lord, leaving the ruins shaking under his power.

• Haoyang shattered the Sun-Burning Grand Formation and rushed into the Sun Hall, where he and Li Yunjing fought over the Solar Adamantine.

• Li Yunjing warned the others that Haoyang was absorbing the Tribulation Qi, but Haoyang absorbed it and surpassed the level of a Divine Lord.

Haoyang lost control after absorbing too much tribulation power and exploded, leaving the Immortal Alliance to warn the Dao Realm against absorbing it. Li Yunjing helped expand the Gods' Hall and earth-vein barrier across the provinces, but disaster soon struck Northern Spirit Province.

• The Five Spirits Lord used the Five Aggregates Cauldron to shield Wangshu, Primordial Lord Bi Shui, and the others from Haoyang's oppressive force.
• Tribulation power overwhelmed Haoyang, shattering his divinity and body; the group believed he had died, though his corpse's finger twitched after they left.

• Li Yunjing and his companions established Gods' Hall branches and earth-vein barriers across the provinces, slowing the spread of tribulation Qi.
• Northern Spirit Province became the first province to suffer a disaster.

Black rain consumed Northern Spirit Province, leaving a deadly barrier that cut off all contact with Dao Lord Hanzun. Li Yunjing upgraded the teleportation array and worked to copy Hanzun’s coordinates as the wider Dao Realm grew more dangerous and refugees crowded into Luozhen Province.

• Black rain and black frost turned Northern Spirit Province’s living beings into stone, while a barrier trapped those who could not escape.
• Zhang Jianchen told Li Yunjing that Northern Spirit Province had fallen and that the Immortal Alliance could not contact Dao Lord Hanzun.
• Li Yunjing proposed using Hanzun’s soul imprint for targeted teleportation and returned to Luozhen Mountain to upgrade the array to lv10.
• Li Yunjing failed twice to copy Hanzun’s spatial imprint, then used the Five Aggregates Cauldron and the Five Spirits Lord’s help to stabilize space.
• As Tribulation Qi and other calamities spread, refugees poured into Luozhen Province, and Mo Xuan struggled to manage the growing population.
• Li Yunjing remained at the Heavenly Pivot Platform, continuing to adjust the teleportation array.
