Qin Lu’s Qin Clan needed an ever-growing supply of living souls to strengthen its Soul Dao, while Qin Lu and Jinxuan Kui quietly agreed to let Great Qin strip the Seven Beauties Star Domain without fighting. True Lord Xueyun’s hopes of an alliance collapsed, leaving the Nether Cold Domain exposed to the Myriad Spirits Holy Land.

• Qin Minghan explained that the Qin Clan’s growing Soul Dao ranks and Devil Dao treasures demanded more living souls, making widespread chaos useful to Qin Lu’s long-term ambitions.
• True Lord Xueyun complained that Demon Qin had rapidly plundered the Seven Beauties Star Domain and left the Blood Ghost Sect facing the Myriad Spirits Holy Land’s expansion.

Great Qin withdrew from the devastated Seven Beauties Star Domain after slaughtering most of its population and taking its Spirit Veins, leaving a vast ghost domain behind. In the Moon Void Domain, Qin Mingyue and the other executors of the Daughter of the Nether Moon plan prepared to seize the moment of Yueji’s birth to advance their cultivation.

Qin Lu completed the transformation of Silver Moon True Lord’s Nascent Soul into Yueji, the Nether Moon Ghost Emperor, using a hundred billion souls to create a new consciousness and reverse her Dao Law. As the Nether Moon Dao rose in the Moon Void Domain, the Shadow Demon race advanced and its first Demon King emerged.

• Yueji devoured a hundred billion souls, transformed into a Nether Moon ghost cultivator, and inherited Silver Moon True Lord’s memories while reaching Nascent Soul Early Stage Perfection.
• Qin Lu accepted Yueji’s advances and took her away, while Haiyue wondered where he was and felt unhappy about his reluctance to cultivate with her.
• Yueji’s breakthrough established the Nether Moon Dao as the Moon Void Domain’s third major Dao, and the Mystic Yin, Nether Moon, and Stars Daos gave rise to Shadow Demons.
• Qin Lu’s Shadow Demon reached Fourth Tier, formed a Demon Core and a solid body, and became the race’s first king, taking the name Shadow.

• Qin Lu and Jinxuan Kui clashed with their Divine Senses, and Qin Lu gained the upper hand.

Qin Lu and Jinxuan Kui assessed each other’s strengths, then agreed to divide their targets: Qin Lu would attack the Blood Ghost Sect while Jinxuan Kui’s forces struck the Purple Firmament Sect. Qin Lu’s group reached the Blood Ghost Sect, where Lin Xuan shattered its protective formation, beginning their assault.

• Qin Lu ordered Lin Xuan to break the Blood Ghost Sect’s protective formation, and Lin Xuan used Time Sealing to freeze it before shattering one of its nodes.

After Qin Lu’s forces crushed the Blood Ghost Sect’s Nascent Soul cultivators, the Qin Clan used its growing prominence to confuse rival powers and conceal its true strength. By the 220th year of the Great Qin calendar, the clan had withdrawn to consolidate its gains as Qin Zheng neared the chance to form a Nascent Soul.

• Qin Lu and his companions defeated the Blood Ghost Sect’s three Nascent Soul cultivators, leaving the Myriad Spirits Holy Land poised to control three domains.

• True Lord Tianfeng’s followers reported that they could not locate Venerable Tianyan and suspected the Fortune Heaven Sect was divided.
• True Lord Tianfeng reasoned that Shenji stayed hidden because the Fortune Heaven Sect’s own members might turn against him while he remained vulnerable.

• Qin Zheng summoned a gate pass from the Ten Thousand Li Great Wall to face the growing Lightning Tribulation.

• Qin Zheng's new honored title became True Lord Imperial Grace.

Qin Zheng’s Nascent Soul formation strengthened the Water Cloud Realm, while the Qin Clan’s Fifth-Tier flagship, the North Mountain, completed testing and gained combat capability.

Together, the two could challenge Nascent Soul Cultivators, showcasing Great Qin’s unmatched system of warship and artifact crafting.

• The North Mountain was revealed to carry a Soul-Severing Cannon, craft workshops, puppet legions, escort warships, spatial teleportation, and a toxin-dispersal Law Artifact.
• The Qin Clan’s strategy relied on the North Mountain either tying down an enemy Nascent Soul Cultivator or devastating forces and cutting off their future talent.
• Great Qin had secretly transformed True Lord Profound Yin’s body into the Profound Yin Puppet, which consumed vast amounts of Spiritual Power to fight.

• The chapter credited Great Qin’s dominance to its combined crafts, strict governance, Qin Coin system, and academy network across the Northern Continent.

Qin Xiao prepared the North Mountain to move toward the Northern Nether Capital as the Central Lands’ war spread and rival powers revealed their plans. The Southern Demon Alliance expanded its control, the White Dragon Emperor prepared to draw Great Qin into a northern conflict, and Heavenly Fate True Lord continued undermining Great Qin from within.

• Qin Xiao received readiness reports and ordered the North Mountain to hide off the Northern Continent, then open a spatial passage to the Northern Nether Capital once war began.
• The Southern Demon Alliance seized the Southern Marsh and enslaved its human kingdoms, while True Lord Huangyang allied with it, took the name Demon Emperor Huangyang, and reached the Nascent Soul Middle Stage.

• The White Dragon Emperor ordered the White Dragon Race to unleash a cold wave and prepare to fight the Qin Clan, while the Fortune Heaven Sect aimed to keep Great Qin from intervening in the Central Lands.
• Heavenly Fate True Lord, living in Zhao Gao’s place, formed cliques, expanded his hidden influence, and continued disrupting Great Qin’s institutions.

• On the northern battlefield, the ice-and-snow forces swept into the Northern Continent, beginning the battle at the Ten Thousand Li Great Wall.

Great Qin prepared Imperial Pass and its forces for the Demon Race’s invasion from the Northern Nether Sea. The chapter detailed Great Qin’s military strength and left its armies ready to defend the northern frontier.

• Qin Lu learned that the Nine Dragons Sea had urged the White Dragon Emperor to side with the Fortune Heaven Sect and realized the sect might be assembling a huge force.

Qin Lu discovered the agents’ plan and ordered the White Dragon Emperor to escalate the battle, hoping the Fortune Heaven Sect would take the bait when the Central Lands entered the conflict.

• Qin Qiling led his squad in killing a Second-Tier Upper Grade Mystic Crystal Giant Python and continued searching the battlefield for prey and battle merits.

• Qin Lu told his subordinate to inform the White Dragon Emperor to let the Nascent Souls clash and escalate the war, aiming to draw the Fortune Heaven Sect into the conflict.

Lin Xuan and the Whale Emperor fought a brutal battle in the Nine Heavens, while their spilled blood and flesh empowered combatants below. Yueji also clashed with the Penguin Emperor as the larger battles continued.

• Lin Xuan revealed his enormous true form and fought the Whale Emperor, whose three Dao Laws let him contend with Lin Xuan’s superior bloodline.
