As the War Divine Court’s main city approached Autumn Emperor Divine City, Wang An prepared to defend the city by forging weapons and planning a powerful formation. The chapter ended with Lei Nü organizing the work to place formation plates across the surrounding volcanoes.

• The War Divine Court announced that its main city was approaching Autumn Emperor Divine City, and experts gathered in the Star-Picking Tower discussed whether the city should be protected.

Sword Emperor Jiuli and Sophia discussed the Law Pre-Proof Bewilderment Tribulation and the challenge of choosing a high position to prove after perfecting three laws. They went with Gaoyang Yunfei to see Wang An, where a cold-iron divine spear was being nourished and Wang An summoned the Azure Cloud Heavenly Sword.

• Sword Emperor Jiuli told Sophia that he intended to prove his own Sword Dao, built around three perfected law profundities, rather than inherit the Path of War Sacrifice.
• Sophia explained that Jiuli lacked the bearing needed to prove a high position and admitted that she, too, was uncertain what Dao to pursue after perfecting three laws.
• The Wind Spirit Dragon Master identified their predicament as the Law Pre-Proof Bewilderment Tribulation and explained how it tested an expert's original purpose and resolve.
• A Bronze Human Race expert asked how Great Perfected Heavenly River's four-law cultivation related to the tribulation, but Sophia said the Gold Human Race had few records and suggested asking him directly.
• Gaoyang Yunfei said the divine weapon Wang An was forging for him should be nearly finished, so the group went to see him.
• Lei Nü led them to the Eight Fires Weapon-Forging Platform, where a cold-iron divine spear was undergoing Warm Nourishment and Wang An summoned the Azure Cloud Heavenly Sword.

Wang An completed the sixth transformation of the Clear Edge Celestial Sword of Profound Insight, demonstrated its power, and delivered Gaoyang Yunfei’s spear. The gathering then turned to the tribulation of bewilderment, and Wang An said he did not expect to face it even after completing five laws.

• Wang An spent three days refining the flying sword’s laws until the Clear Edge Celestial Sword of Profound Insight completed its sixth transformation.
• Wang An demonstrated the sword, prompting Sword Emperor Jiuli, Wind Spirit Dragon Master, Grand Mage Sophia, and other experts to activate their innate magic treasures for protection.

• Sword Emperor Jiuli asked when the tribulation of bewilderment would appear for someone condensing five law profundities, and Wang An replied that he had never encountered it and did not expect it upon completing five laws.

Wang An discussed why he had preserved his original purpose, reassured his companions that Autumn Emperor Divine City could withstand attacks, and learned more about the divine courts of the Sole True Realm. The group then discussed their different Daos, with Wang An explaining how his five elements generated and overcame one another.

• Wang An explained that his youth and the Tribulation of Lostness had helped him retain a clear purpose in cultivation, prompting the others to debate whether the tribulation should occur earlier.
• Sophia asked whether Wang An could withstand the True God of Battle and Victory, and Wang An assured her that his formation would protect Autumn Emperor Divine City.

• Wang An explained his Dao of the five elements generating and overcoming one another, describing the roles of Heavenly River Water, Great Forest Wood, Heavenly Fire, Rooftop Earth, and Sword Edge Metal.

After earning the honorific Great Perfected Heavenly River of the Five Elements and Vast Dharma, Wang An expanded his weapon-forging work and prepared Autumn Emperor Divine City for an impending battle. As powerful factions gathered, he began closing the volcanoes that powered the city’s great formation.

• After three months of discussion, the experts honored Wang An as Great Perfected Heavenly River of the Five Elements and Vast Dharma, and their Qi Destiny flowed into his realm.

• Over the next two years, representatives of powerful factions gathered near the Sea of Fire Disaster Domain to witness the approaching battle.

• Wang An rose to preside over the closure of the seventy-two surrounding volcanoes and inspected the formation network linked to the city’s thirty-six primary volcanoes.

Wang An completed a hundred-thousand-li formation that transformed the region around Autumn Emperor Divine City into a Supreme Yin Cold Autumn spiritual atmosphere and revealed three Formation Domain Laws. Observers recognized him as a quasi-supreme grandmaster and realized the city’s grand formation could be far more powerful than they had expected.

• Wang An linked the 72 formation plates and activated a grand formation that changed the weather and silenced the volcanoes across a hundred thousand li.
• Divine City subordinates planted spirit medicines across the newly cooled land, while Supreme Yin spirit objects began to condense within the formation.
• An exotic beast that left the city to gather cold dew froze to death when the formation’s fluctuations caught it.
• Wind Spirit Dragon Master judged Wang An to be a quasi-supreme grandmaster in Formation Domains, prompting other powerful figures to discuss the rank’s significance.
• Wind Spirit Dragon Master suspected that Autumn Emperor Divine City had already completed a core killing formation and that its full formation possessed at least three Formation Domain Laws.

The War Divine Court proposed a pact to Great Perfected Heavenly River, who ignored its envoys as both forces prepared for battle. Vicious Tyrant Golden Dragon urged an attack, while the True God of Battle and Victory's alliance with the Beast Clan Alliance revealed a plot to obstruct or kill Heavenly River.

• The War Divine Court's envoy offered to destroy Autumn Land Divine City if it won or withdraw from the eastern Myriad Mountains Fire Sea if it lost.
• Wang An ignored the proposal, and the envoys left after waiting half an hour.
• The War Divine Court's fortress stopped five hundred thousand li from the city as its armies and allies gathered for battle.
• Vicious Tyrant Golden Dragon urged the True God of Battle and Victory to attack the city immediately.
• The True God of Battle and Victory recalled that the Beast Clan Alliance had offered a way to kill Heavenly River or derail his cultivation, and he had agreed after seeing its quasi-spirit treasure.

The War Divine Court and the Beast Clan Alliance attacked Autumn Emperor Divine City, forcing its defenders and the other human factions to unite against them. As battles began across the field, Wang An and the True God of Battle and Victory faced off, and Wang An’s four-law divine restriction broke through the Forbidden Law Domain.

• The True God of Battle and Victory abandoned his proposed agreement after Wang An refused it, then ordered the armies to attack Autumn Emperor Divine City.
• The Vicious Tyrant Golden Dragon mocked the True God of Battle and Victory, but fell silent when battle marshals rebuked him for questioning the authority of a Great One’s ascension ritual.
• The War Divine Court’s eight legions advanced on the city while Sword Emperor Jiuli, Sophia, the Wind Spirit Dragon Master, and other human powerhouses joined Wang An against the enemy.
• The Vicious Tyrant Golden Dragon charged Sword Emperor Jiuli, and the Wind Spirit Dragon Master and Sophia sent formation masters and mages to reinforce the city’s three legions.
• The True God of Battle and Victory attacked Wang An with a bonded divine weapon and spread his Forbidden Law Domain, but Wang An’s four-law divine restriction forced it open and suppressed those present.

Wang An fought the True God of Battle and Victory, whose laws let him recover from fatal wounds, unleash destructive attacks, and adapt to repeated attacks. As the battle below remained stalled, Wang An realized he could use space to separate the divine power sustaining his opponent’s Body of Battle.

• Wang An’s laws suppressed the Savage Golden Dragon, and the True God of Battle and Victory attacked him with his divine weapon.
• Wang An’s flying sword pierced the True God of Battle and Victory, but the foe dispersed and reassembled his body without injury.

• Wang An repeatedly shredded the True God’s body but could not destroy its divinity or divine fire, while his opponent grew resistant to the attacks.
• Wang An assessed the stalled fighting below and realized he could use space to isolate the masses of divine power that reassembled the True God’s body.

Wang An trapped the True God of Battle and Victory inside the Six Laws Heavenly River, where the Clear Edge Celestial Sword of Profound Insight steadily weakened him and prevented his escape. As the battle turned against the Divine Court's lord, the Vicious Tyrant Golden Dragon ordered the distant main war city to fire its cannon at Wang An.

• Wang An expanded the Six Laws Heavenly River and declared that he knew more than how to use flying swords.
• The Six Laws Heavenly River engulfed the True God of Battle and Victory, hiding him from the watching powerhouses.
• Wang An used the Heavenly Gleam divine artifact to suppress the angel divine artifact inside the True God of Battle and Victory, while the Clear Edge Celestial Sword of Profound Insight repeatedly killed and divided him.
• The True God of Battle and Victory tried to break out of the twelve star worlds but found their dense material too durable to destroy.
• The Vicious Tyrant Golden Dragon ordered the main war city to activate its main war cannon, and Wang An's Ten Thousand Trees Heavenly Canopy sensed the incoming attack.

Wang An was targeted by the Myriad Phenomena Illusory God Scale, which trapped his Avatar in the Thousand Tribulations Ten Thousand Generations Rebirth Realm and tried to reach his main body. He severed the connection, returned to the battlefield, and automated the grand array, leaving the enemy factions stunned and afraid to flee.

• The Vicious Tyrant Golden Dragon unleashed the Myriad Phenomena Illusory God Scale, whose illusion law reached for Wang An and entered his mind as the Thousand Tribulations Ten Thousand Generations Rebirth Realm.
• Wang An's Avatar was placed in a reincarnation world, but his main body cut off their memory connection and withdrew his consciousness and twelve super-material star worlds.
• Wang An's battlefield figure vanished, then reappeared and took the silver-white crescent mark separated from the Myriad Phenomena Illusory God Scale.
• Wang An set more than a hundred strands of divine sense to control the Supreme Yin Autumn Harvest Celestial Trap and Kill Grand Array, then created an automated procedure while the scale pulled his Avatar's will back into the reincarnation realm.
• The grand array absorbed the War Main City's cannon fire, locked onto the enemies, and unleashed the Autumn Emperor Sword Edge Formation Domain laws.
• The watching factions debated what had happened, and no one dared leave Autumn Land Divine City.

Wang An realized the enemy was restricting his Avatar to delay his cultivation, so he worked to suppress the True God of Battle and Victory while continuing to operate the Autumn Emperor Divine City. Twenty years later, the dreamlike realm around Heavenly Illusion Divine City began to shrink, and Wang An used the Command Banner to suppress the Myriad Phenomena Illusory God Scale and break the realm.

• The grand formation's automated attacks devastated the Vicious Tyrant Golden Dragon and the War Divine Court's other powerhouses, leaving their side with no chance of victory.
• Wang An recognized that his Avatar's limited activity was meant to delay his cultivation, then stored the True God of Battle and Victory's scattered divine-body light particles in a tributary of the Six Laws Heavenly River.
• Over the next twenty years, Heavenly Illusion Divine City grew into a busy hub, while Lei Nü and the city's residents continued to await Wang An's return.
• The dreamlike realm began shrinking, prompting Gaoyang Yunfei, Lei Nü, and other powerful residents to wonder whether Wang An had escaped.
• Wang An reappeared and wielded the Command Banner to bind the Myriad Phenomena Illusory God Scale's spirituality and break the million-kilometer dreamlike realm.

Wang An used the [Command Banner] to suppress the [Myriad Phenomena Illusory God Scale], drawing the attention of its angelic master, a six-winged Valkyrie. After he argued that the banner was a spoil of war and warned that reclaiming it could make the Lord of Hosts an enemy of powerful factions, she agreed to negotiate; Wang An offered to return it if she helped forge his sword materials into a stronger flying sword.

• The six-winged Valkyrie awakened when the [Command Banner] stirred and used it to observe Wang An suppressing the [Myriad Phenomena Illusory God Scale].
• Wang An sealed the scale in a void dimension opened by the banner, causing the illusory divine realms outside Autumn Emperor Divine City to collapse.
• The Valkyrie manifested beside Wang An and recognized the silver-white mark of a great being on his hand.
• Wang An showed her records of the War Divine Court's attack and argued that the banner was a spoil of war, warning that reclaiming it could make the Lord of Hosts an enemy of the Human Alliance's allies.
• The Valkyrie asked what would persuade him to return the banner, and Wang An offered sword materials and the scale in exchange for her help forging his flying sword.

Wang An arranged for the Six-Winged Valkyrie to gather powerful angels to forge his divine sword from materials tied to great existences. After leaving Autumn Emperor Divine City in his subordinates’ hands, he reached the Firmament Metal Divine Court and secured the help of the Firmament Splendor Angel, though finding an archangel to melt the materials remained a challenge.

• The Six-Winged Valkyrie agreed to recruit angels from the metal, fire, and spiritual domains to forge Wang An’s sword.
• Wang An instructed his subordinates to rebuild Autumn Emperor Divine City, secure key passes, and manage their territory while he left with the Valkyrie.
• Wang An and the Valkyrie traveled to the Firmament Metal Divine Court, where the Platinum True God provided the Nine Metals Firmament Splendor Sword to contact its sleeping guardian.
• The Firmament Splendor Angel agreed to send an Avatar after being contacted through the divine artifact.
• The Valkyrie proposed seeking the Melting Fire Archangel of the Li Fire Divine Court to melt the materials, despite having no personal ties to him.

Wang An and the angels sought a mental-domain angel to help suppress and sort out the laws of the [Myriad Phenomena Illusory God Scale]. Angel Spirituality agreed to assist and named the Sea of Fire Disaster Domain as a forging site, then began explaining its ancient history.

• Melting Fire Archangel joined Wang An and the angels, and suggested they contact the angel behind the Eternal Spirit Mind Tower for help with the scale.
• The group traveled to the tower, where Archangel Ronghuo used the [Spirit Fire] law to draw the attention of its guardian.
• A spiritual angel appeared from the Spirit Realm, identified himself as Angel Spirituality, and confirmed that a quasi-symbol divine artifact of the mental domain was within his lord's domain.
• Angel Spirituality agreed to help them and told them that the Sea of Fire would serve as a forging site.
• Angel Martial Combat recognized the site as the Sea of Fire Disaster Domain, and Angel Spirituality began recounting its history from ten million years earlier.

Wang An and the angels traveled through the Fire Disaster Kingdom to reach the second layer, where they found Primordial Fire Embryos that could help forge his flying sword. The Melting Fire Archangel explained how to use their heat, and the group began planning how to fuse Wang An’s rare materials.

• Angel Spirituality explained that the Primordial Fire Embryos lay beyond the calamity-filled Fire Disaster Kingdom, and Wang An used the [Command Banner] to protect the group as they traveled through it.
• After nearly half a month, Wang An and the four angels reached the second layer, where Angel Spirituality identified every flame as a Primordial Fire Embryo.
• Angel Martial Combat explained that newer Great Ones held symbolisms spanning multiple paths, clarifying why different fire-connected beings could have distinct authorities.
• The Melting Fire Archangel found that the group could use the Primordial Fire Embryos’ heat to reshape laws in materials, but could not take or use the flames themselves.
• Wang An presented the [Clear Edge Celestial Sword of Profound Insight], a fragment of a spirit treasure’s sword tip, and the [Myriad Phenomena Illusory God Scale] for forging.
• The Melting Fire Archangel proposed returning the flying sword to metal qi and sword qi, then gradually fusing the melted materials and removing impurities and conflicting laws.

Wang An and the angels forged an eleven-turn flying sword and a baleful qi weapon-nurturing gourd from rare materials and laws. They then prepared to use the primordial fire embryo to remove a hidden danger from the Myriad Phenomena Illusory God Scale before adding it to the sword.

• The Melting Fire Archangel and Firmament Splendor Angel merged the incomplete Weapon Baleful Qi law into Wang An’s flying sword and refined it over three years.
• Wang An provided nine law divine weapons and branches from the Fire-Space Jujube Tree, and the Melting Fire Archangel forged them into a spatial gourd that generated weapon baleful qi.
• After another half year, the eleven-turn flying sword and baleful qi weapon-nurturing gourd were completed, giving the angels valuable insight into forging symbolic divine artifacts.
• Wang An cautioned the angels that the final step was dangerous and sent the sword into the furnace in the form of golden qi and sword qi.
• The Angel Spirituality and Melting Fire Archangel proposed using the primordial fire embryo to restore the Myriad Phenomena Illusory God Scale and remove the hidden danger within it before dismantling its laws.

Wang An and the angels retrieved fragments of the Mental Illusion law from the primordial fire embryo, then completed the flying sword’s twelfth refinement and named it the Clear Edge Heavenly Sword of Profound Insight, Slaughter and God Destruction. He returned to Autumn Land Divine City, where its formation stirred at his arrival and the people welcomed him back.

• Wang An agreed to the ancient angels’ plan, and Angel Martial Combat used the divine chain of law to draw the Mental Illusion law away from the primordial fire embryo.
• The primordial fire embryo burned the Myriad Phenomena Illusory God Scale and the illusory dreamscapes to nothing, while the group pulled back an incomplete mental law with only twenty percent remaining.
• After three years of harmonizing the flying sword’s laws, Wang An completed its twelfth refinement, named it the Clear Edge Heavenly Sword of Profound Insight, Slaughter and God Destruction, and placed it in the sword-nurturing gourd.
• Wang An sensed a familiar call from Autumn Land Divine City and traveled there through the void on his newly forged flying sword.
• The formation around Autumn Land Divine City activated as Wang An arrived, and Lei Nü and the city’s people welcomed him back.

Wang An completed the Sword Edge Metal Golden Nature, strengthening his Five Elements cycle and setting his sights on creating a Dao Fruit rank. News of his possible rise to high-tier status spread across the Milky Way, and Yu Tianqing sent the reports to him.

• Wang An condensed the Golden Nature [Primordial Qi Autumn Metal: The Nature of Refining, Killing, Storing and Illuminating], completing the cycle of his five Golden Natures.
• Wang An sensed that the new Golden Nature had influenced eleven star systems and ordered Autumn Emperor Divine City to expand, build strength, and wage fewer wars.
• Wang An considered his Divine True Realm cultivation nearly complete and prepared to create a Dao Fruit rank using laws woven with Profound Gas.
• Reports that Great Perfected Heavenly River might become the Milky Way's first new-era high-tier existence spread across the defensive-line star systems and online forums.
• Yu Tianqing saw the reports while handling documents on Blue Star and sent them to Wang An.

Wang An learned that Lu Tianxin had been ambushed and sent his Avatar to help while ordering Autumn Emperor Divine City to consolidate its strength. Lu Tianxin fought off the first attackers, but six more disguised pirate ships arrived and surrounded her warship.

• Wang An told his disciples to return to the Solar System after suspecting enemies were stirring up conflict, and later detected tribulation qi around Lu Tianxin.
• Wang An ordered Autumn Emperor Divine City to focus on strengthening its defenses, then set off toward the Storm Sea boundary.
• A shaman priest and three savage orcs used a concealed fate scheme and spatial oscillation to ambush Lu Tianxin aboard the Tianxin.
• Lu Tianxin shielded the Tianxin with Wang An's eighteen-story exquisite pagoda and used the Thousand-Heart Dripping Water Cave-Truth Sword Intent to break the ambush array and kill one savage orc.
• The shaman priest called in reinforcements, and six more disguised pirate ships arrived to surround Lu Tianxin's warship.

Trapped aboard the Tianxin, Lu Tianxin reinforced her defenses against the pirate fleet and activated a powerful divine talisman that strengthened the Exquisite Pagoda. When the pirates summoned three stronger warships, they launched a fresh attack, leaving the Tianxin under even greater pressure.

• Lu Tianxin realized two of the pirate leaders wielded one Law Profundity each, prepared an all-around defense, and resolved to wait for her Master rather than risk triggering a trap.
• The vampire and werewolf leaders joined Hatusa in bombarding the Exquisite Pagoda, but its defense held, and the three agreed to attack together.
• As the pagoda neared its limit, Lu Tianxin activated the [Divine Talisman of Heaven's Severance, Disaster Avoidance, and Scenery Absorption] through her Formation Domain, stabilizing the Tianxin's defenses.
• The pirate leaders called in powerful allies, and three more warships arrived, each carrying at least one Law Profundity.
• The new arrivals launched a joint assault with law macro-cannons and three two-law magical treasures, sending six Law Profundities toward the Exquisite Pagoda.

Lu Tianxin was about to be overcome by a winged dragon when Wang An intervened, tracing the threat to the Brahman Kingdom Pure Land and killing a temporal dragon to rescue her. The Bright Pure Dragon Buddha confronted him, but the Light-Riding Ritual Master blocked the Buddha and helped Wang An escape with the dragon corpse and shattered star grotto-heaven.

• A tail-biting winged dragon controlled Lu Tianxin and urged her to return to the Brahman Saint Samsara Dragon Kingdom, but Wang An assured her he had found the enemy.
• Wang An opened a dimensional rift and sent his flying sword and lightning into the Brahman Kingdom Pure Land, shattering the Hidden Life Quiet Obscurity Dragon Star and killing its lesser dragon.
• The Bright Pure Dragon Dragon Buddha invoked the Law of Samsara, but the Taiyin Order-Overturning Moon Law Light-Riding Ritual Master manifested to challenge him.
• Wang An's flying sword carried the dragon corpse and shattered star grotto-heaven back to real space while the Light-Riding Ritual Master blocked the Bright Pure Dragon Buddha.
• The Light-Riding Ritual Master accused the dragon clan of breaking their agreement and warned the Bright Pure Dragon Buddha against retaliation; she refused his request to reclaim the grotto-heaven.

Wang An destroyed the forces and homeworlds of those who had attacked Lu Tianxin, then accepted the Light-Riding Ritual Master's help and set off with Tianxin and the temporal-sequence grotto-heaven fragment for the Solar System. News of the destruction spread across the Sparse Star Domain, and observers identified Great Perfected Heavenly River as the force behind the retaliation.

• The Light-Riding Ritual Master blocked the dragon Buddha's probing, while it enclosed the Brahman Kingdom Pure Land and fled with it into the Great Void.
• Wang An killed the attackers and the beings linked to them by karma, and destroyed their civilization homeworlds before reuniting with Lu Tianxin.
• The Light-Riding Ritual Master took the law of [Life Concealment and Silent Obscurity] from the grotto-heaven fragment, then returned to Wang An's hand as a mark with only one use left.
• Wang An told Lu Tianxin about the alliance between human races and the Beast Clan Alliance, then used Heavenly Gleam to carry their warship and the grotto-heaven fragment toward the Solar System.
• Three days later, news that six mid-level Beast Clan Alliance civilizations had been destroyed spread through the Heart System Defensive Line, where observers connected the retaliation to Great Perfected Heavenly River.
