Meanwhile, Ao Changsheng persuaded Emperor Donghua to help draw the Heavenly Court into the Primordial World Great Tribulation, while they plotted against True Person Taiyi and True Person Taichu.

• Han Xiangzi and He Xiangu reached the depths of the valley and sensed a precious treasure, dense fire-attribute Spiritual Qi, and restrictions they could not overcome.

• Sun Wukong offered Taiyi a Heaven Grade spirit pill, but Taiyi discovered he could not move his right hand and had crippled his left.

• Dijun waited anxiously as Taiyi assured him that Nüwa had sent several Sages to suppress the Devil Race's remnants.
• A tremendous boom suddenly came from the sky.

Black fog spread across the Primordial World as the Devil Race invaded, prompting Nüwa and the Heavenly Court to gather forces for battle. At the South Sea, Taishi struck down the gathered immortals and gods with one palm, leaving Taiyi powerless to respond.

• Black fog covered the Primordial World, and Nüwa and Taichu prepared to face the Devil Race's invasion.

• Taishi struck the gathered fighters with one palm, killing and scattering many Daluo Golden Immortals, while Taiyi swallowed his anger.

Taishi overpowered Taiyi and prepared to attack Fuxi, but Pangu suddenly intervened and drove Taishi and the others away. Pangu then demanded their allegiance, only for a voice invoking Dao Ancestor Hongjun’s authority to arrive and Taichu to openly defy it.

• Taishi revealed his Quasi-Sage strength, struck Taiyi down, and moved to attack Fuxi.
• A huge hand emerged from a crack in Taishi’s body and left him powerless; Pangu appeared, struck Taishi and the others, and then vanished.

• Taichu dismissed the warning and said he would not fear even Dao Ancestor Hongjun.

• Taishi turned on Taiyuan and the others and declared that everyone remaining had to die.

The Sun God Temple’s Qi of the Sun appeared infused with Qi of the Lunar and Chaos, revealing a dangerous connection among the Great Daos of Yin, Yang, and Chaos. Taishi and his companions fled Lunar City as an unknown power spread, while Taiyi and the Lunar Temple disciples headed toward Lunar Mountain, where the Grand Lunar Formation remained intact.

• A massive cauldron-shaped Qi of the Sun arrived, carrying strands of Qi of the Lunar and Chaos, and Taichu and Taiyi realized their plans had failed.
• Taishi explained that the Great Dao of Yin could devour the Qi of the Sun, while the Great Dao of Yang could refine and absorb the Great Dao of Yin.
• An old man warned Taishi that a terrifying presence containing Qi of Chaos was approaching and that Lunar City might soon be covered by Qi of the Lunar.
• Taishi and his companions escaped Lunar City, and the Lunar Temple disciples withdrew after them.
• Taiyi sensed an unknown power enveloping Lunar City and led the Lunar Temple disciples toward Lunar Mountain, where the Grand Lunar Formation still protected the mountain.

The Great Dao of Yin nearly collapsed under the Grand Lunar Formation, but a newly advanced Lunar Temple elder escaped. Han Xiangzi and He Xiangu then faced a golden meteorite that resisted their attacks until they weakened its shell and destroyed it with their techniques.

• The Great Dao of Yang and the Great Dao of Yin battered the Great Dao of Yin, and a Half-Step Dao Ancestor elder of the Lunar Temple escaped through a crack.
• Han Xiangzi and He Xiangu discussed Lady Nüwa’s intervention with Dijun and wondered why she had chosen him.
• A golden meteorite descended near Han Xiangzi and He Xiangu, struck the ground, and knocked them aside with its shockwave.

• Han Xiangzi and He Xiangu struck the meteorite again with greater force, cracked its shell, and destroyed it with the Nine Yang Divine Art and Jiuyin Devil Cultivation Method.

Han Xiangzi and He Xiangu failed to destroy the meteorite, fled from the Heavenly Court’s forces, and were attacked by a warship bearing the Jade Emperor’s name. They faced the bombardment, then mistook the soldiers’ demand for them to come out as proof that the attackers feared them.

• Han Xiangzi and He Xiangu attacked the meteorite again, but its shell broke apart and it remained unharmed, so they decided to retreat.
• Han Xiangzi and He Xiangu reached a vast immortal island, then returned to their cave and heard heavenly soldiers demanding they come out.
• Han Xiangzi and He Xiangu hid deeper in the cave, lamenting their injuries and planning to recover before facing their pursuers.
• A warship bearing the golden characters “Jade Emperor” bombarded Han Xiangzi and He Xiangu, who flew out to confront it.
• Han Xiangzi and He Xiangu dodged the shells as the soldiers called for them to surrender, and the pair decided the attackers were afraid to kill them.

Han Xiangzi and He Xiangu fought the heavenly soldiers and generals aboard a warship while Ao Changsheng questioned Hongjun about the origin of heavenly destiny and the Heavenly Dao. The chapter left their battle unresolved and Hongjun challenging Ao Changsheng to reconsider who created the Heavenly Dao.

• Han Xiangzi boarded the warship and attacked a warrior after accusing the heavenly soldiers of slaughtering people indiscriminately.
• Han Xiangzi killed a heavenly soldier, took his Storage Ring, and used He Xiangu’s Jade Elixir Pills to recover before joining her in battle.
• He Xiangu was struck by Sword Qi and called to Han Xiangzi for help while the fighting continued.
• Ao Changsheng asked Hongjun to calculate the Primordial World’s heavenly destiny and suggested that humans, demons, and monsters did not belong to that world.
• Hongjun explained that heavenly destiny belonged to the Heavenly Dao Rules and challenged Ao Changsheng to say who had created the Heavenly Dao.

Hongjun explained to Ao Changsheng how the Three Thousand Great Dao and Chaos fragments related to the Primordial World and its Heavenly Dao. They concluded that integrating the three thousand paths could create Dao Law Heaven and Earth, which would evolve into a Primordial Universe capable of absorbing the Heavenly Dao and causing the Primordial World to vanish.

• Hongjun told Ao Changsheng that the Heavenly Dao comprised three thousand paths and described how Chaos was a system formed by combining their attributes.
• Hongjun explained that when Chaos was broken apart, it formed fragments whose colors reflected their power, and that the Three Thousand Great Dao underpinned the Primordial World and all its living beings.
• Ao Changsheng said the Three Purities' Heavenly Dao Rules troubled them because they could not rewrite the paths those rules had created.
• Hongjun proposed fusing the three thousand paths into the Primordial World to strengthen it and free its Heavenly Dao from constraints.
• Hongjun said the intertwined paths would form Dao Law Heaven and Earth, which would evolve into a Primordial Universe that could absorb the Heavenly Dao and make the Primordial World cease to exist.

Hongjun explained to Ao Changsheng how Dao Law Heaven and Earth could transform the Primordial World, but said the Heavenly Dao would limit its power. They discussed finding the three thousand Great Daos and the Three Purities’ three Innate Spirit Treasures, and Ao Changsheng resolved to pursue one even if they could not obtain it.

• Ao Changsheng was shocked by Hongjun’s plan to inscribe Great Dao patterns into Chaos fragments, and Hongjun warned that cultivating Dao Law Heaven and Earth could be deadly.
• Hongjun said the Heavenly Dao would restrict the transformation of the Primordial World, potentially delaying it for millions of years.
• Hongjun argued they could help the Primordial World survive by finding the three thousand Great Daos hidden in Chaos.
• Hongjun said reaching the depths of Chaos would draw the Three Purities’ attention, so they would need the three Innate Spirit Treasures they had left there.
• Hongjun revealed that he possessed Primordial purple qi, an Innate Supreme Treasure, and Ao Changsheng declared he was determined to obtain an Innate Spirit Treasure rather than let another mighty being claim it.
