Dragon Daoist cleared the Nine Heavens trial, while Fu Henghua studied the Resurrection Method and created a Star Seal Relocation Art. He used it to rescue and revive Zhao Guzhen’s victims, then faced the Black Flood Dragon Grand Devil Lord, whose Divine Sense had entered Zhao Guzhen.

As the battle continued, Fu Henghua revealed that he was stripping away the dragon’s Creation Origin Energy to study whether he could use its spiritual body to create a True Dragon.

• Fu Henghua explained to Hengshou that the first six halls had stripped Creation Origin Energy from the Grand Devil Lord, and considered using his spiritual body to create a True Dragon.

Fu Henghua defeated the Great Devil Lord’s Divine Sense by trapping it in the ninth hall and using Creation to turn it toward the True Dragon Dao. He extracted a Dragon Nature Divine Sense, joined it with Dragon King True Blood, and began hatching a new dragon, leaving Xiaoyu and Hengshou to manage matters outside while he secluded himself for three days.

• Fu Henghua used the five spirit Flood Dragons and the shifting halls to wear down the Great Devil Lord’s Divine Sense and block its escape.
• Fu Henghua revealed that the Seven Northern Dipper Stars transferred the guards’ accumulated pain to the trial-taker, weakening the Flood Dragon Devil.

• Xiaoyu and Hengshou doubted Fu Henghua could create a True Dragon and worried that he might use the new dragon soul to seize the Great Devil Lord’s body.

Fu Henghua turned the failed dragon-creation experiment into a Dragon Soul Stone and devised a plan to capture the Black Flood Dragon Grand Devil Lord, weaken him, and let Dragon Daoist possess his body. Dragon Daoist accepted the dangerous task to gain the Creation essence he needed to restore Jade Sage Pavilion’s Heavenly Book, while Fu Henghua offered Zhongli Zihan a new route to improve her combat strength.

• Fu Henghua revealed an artificial Dragon Soul Stone created from the Thunder Dragon King's blood and divine sense, then explained that it could help form a Dragon Soul Incarnation.

Dongyang Plain’s battle spiraled beyond Fu Henghua’s control, leaving many Donglai elites missing even as Helian Jin advanced to Devil Lord. The story then rewound to the battle’s start, where an explosion of the earth veins engulfed both armies and the fighting masters.

• Dong Pingyi, Li Dongrong, and Murong Xianzong wondered why the battle had become far more destructive than they remembered, while Helian Jin ordered them to leave Dongyang Plain.

• When Helian Jin advanced, Dongyang Plain’s earth veins exploded, engulfing the armies and blasting the Devil Lords and Tribulation Immortals from the sky.

Fu Henghua’s preparations turned the battle at Dongyang Plain in the Immortal Dao’s favor, but Wang Ziming triggered an ancient Crimson Thunder Civilization relic that created a domain forbidding Dao arts. Henghua summoned reinforcements against the new threat and realized someone in the Immortal Dao had also returned from the future.

• The earth-vein explosion wounded Hong Changyi and Yuwen Chunqiu, but Fu Henghua’s Resurrection Art and healing melodies restored the Immortal Dao fighters and raised their morale.
• Fu Yaozhen harmonized the battlefield’s sound disks, helping Fu Henghua project a Creation domain that revived the wounded and made the demonic side believe defeat was certain.

• Fu Henghua fired a signal flare, and a meteor descended toward the Black Flood Dragon Grand Devil Lord as Henghua revealed he had gathered reinforcements for the battle.

Fu Henghua helped the immortal path gain the upper hand in the battle on Dongyang Plain by using the Pure White Domain’s power and his Great Dao of Creation. The seal beneath the battlefield then ruptured, trapping the armies in a violent spatial upheaval and leaving Heng Hua to face an unknown world breaking through.

• Ouyang Ziming and Yin Yanqing identified the Pure White Domain as the power of a Heaven-Severing Spear Tower, while Fu Henghua and the Fu family wielded sword qi within it and fought the demons.
• Fu Henghua transformed captured demon cultivators into trees to reverse the domain’s suppression, then joined Dongfang Yunqi and Ouyang Ziming in striking the Divine Consort, who fled after her life force was drained and her appearance aged.
• The immortals gained the advantage over three days of fighting as Fu Henghua used the Creation Demon Forest to heal allies, but Ghost God emerged from underground and grew into a Great Devil Lord by devouring blood qi and souls.
• Yuanshan Grand Devil Lord destroyed the swirling qi mass beneath the plain, causing Ghost God to erupt and the sealed space to begin breaking apart.
• An invisible barrier trapped both armies on Dongyang Plain as spatial fissures opened and a hurricane dragged everyone into a bizarre world; when the white glare faded, few immortals or demons remained.

After the spatial disaster scattered the immortals and devils across distant lands, Fu Henghua negotiated a nine-day truce with the demonic forces so both sides could search for survivors. The chapter ends with Fu Yongbao and his relatives bringing Wang Ziming’s corpse to the Crimson Abyss Daoist Sect, threatening Song Yuan’s attempt to blame Fu Henghua for the crisis.

• Fu Henghua learned that more than half of the Donglai cultivators were missing, while Dragon Daoist and Zhongli Zihan helped suppress the captured Black Flood Dragon Grand Devil Lord.

• At the Crimson Abyss Daoist Sect, Song Yuan’s plan to undermine Fu Henghua faltered when Fu Yongbao and his relatives arrived with Wang Ziming’s corpse as evidence of the Heaven-Severing Spear Tower’s role in the disaster.

Fu Yongbao used the Fu Family’s supposed guilt over the Dongyang Plain calamity to pressure the Crimson Abyss Daoist Sect into investigating the Wang Family and allowing a search beneath Red Peak. Meanwhile, Fu Xuanhe recovered underground in the Nine Netherworlds and resolved to find other missing people and a route back to the surface.

• Bu Xuan assessed the Fu Family members’ cultivation and learned that Fu Yongbao had come to plead guilty over the Dongyang Plain calamity.
• Fu Yongbao blamed the Fu Family for provoking the Wang Family and causing the disaster, prompting Bu Xuan to promise an investigation and compensation for the family’s past losses.

• Fu Xuanhe decided to search for other missing people and a safe route back to the surface rather than risk fighting the underground creatures.

Fu Henghua used the Creation Art to restore Zhang Qing’s group and help them defeat an earth-vein serpent, then brought them and the Nine Yin Serpent Vine back to the Creation Heavenly Palace. He next discovered that Yu Xiaolei was undergoing a Red Luan Tribulation and asked Hengshou to consult Senior Yu about whether immortals and demons could conceive a Spirit Embryo.

• Fu Henghua performed a blessing rite from Profound Origin City, sending Creation vitality to Zhang Qing’s group and dispelling their snake venom.
• Zhang Qing froze the serpent’s seven heads while Liu Mo, Sima Xin, and Nangong Lie attacked with their Dharma Forms, but the serpent survived because its true body stretched beneath the land.
• Fu Henghua explained that the serpent had fused the seven heads with poison miasma and directed the group to attack its buried body and search the cave dwelling for Spirit Wood.

Yu Xiaolei and Sword Demon Lord were trapped in the Demonic-Source Fluid beneath Earthspirit Marsh, where Devil Emperor Jianyuan’s scheme began merging their bodies into a Primordial Sword Embryo. Fu Henghua’s intervention gave way to the fluid’s process, and the chapter ended as Yu Xiaolei and Sword Demon Lord prepared to strike the descending Divine Sense of Devil Emperor Jianyuan.

• Yu Xiaolei and Sword Demon Lord fled the Demonic-Source Fluid through Earthspirit Marsh’s underground caverns, but the black liquid cornered them and swallowed them.
• Fu Henghua dispelled his protective spell on Yu Xiaolei, allowing the Demonic-Source Fluid to strengthen Yu Xiaolei and drain Sword Demon Lord’s power to forge a Sixth-Turn Sword Embryo.

• Yu Xiaolei and Sword Demon Lord shared their memories, learning about each other’s harsh lives and past burdens.
• Devil Emperor Jianyuan’s Divine Sense descended into their fused body, and Yu Xiaolei and Sword Demon Lord simultaneously struck at it.

Yu Xiaolei and the Sword Demon Lord resisted the accumulated resentments within the Demonic-Source Fluid while Fu Henghua and the Yellow Matron Spirit Deity helped them purify the black water and rebuild their bodies. The awakened Demon Emperor Jianyuan revealed that his fading consciousness depended on the demonic imprint and challenged Fu Henghua to settle their conflict in battle.

• Yu Xiaolei and the Sword Demon Lord shattered the dark-gold sphere, then fought the projections of beings consumed by the Demonic-Source Fluid as their Divine Senses weakened.

• Jianyuan offered to let Fu Henghua leave peacefully, but Fu Henghua chose to settle the matter through battle.

Fu Henghua blocked the Demon Emperor’s attempt to seize the reshaped body and guided the Sword Demon Lord toward a new path beyond demonic obsession. After Yu Xiaolei and the Sword Demon Lord escaped, Fu Henghua faced the Demon Emperor’s remaining Divine Sense and drew on power from afar to complete his Five Elements and Taiji arrangement, leaving the Demon Emperor suppressed beneath Five-Finger Mountain.

• The Demon Emperor unleashed hidden demonic qi to accelerate the body’s reconstruction and force Fu Henghua to abandon their duel, but the Yellow Matron Spirit Deity blocked his Divine Sense.
• Fu Henghua’s Dao imprint guided the Sword Demon Lord through a vision in which she shed her demonic nature and recognized that the sword’s true path required cultivating the heart.

• Fu Henghua arrived and restored the damaged cavern before challenging the Demon Emperor’s remaining Divine Sense with the Heavenly Evil Sword.
• Power and a Bodhi Tree arrived from afar, completing Fu Henghua’s Five Elements and Taiji formation; he manifested the Law of Heaven and Earth and suppressed the Demon Emperor beneath Five-Finger Mountain.

Fu Henghua overwhelmed the Demon Emperor with his Spirit Souls and Five-Finger Mountain, then faced the Demon Emperor’s three final swords. After the third sword opened a passage into the Nine Netherworlds, Heng Hua sensed his clan members below and descended, while the others waited above and learned where he had gone.

• Fu Henghua and his Spirit Souls attacked the Demon Emperor with Dao Arts, while Heng Hua transformed Five-Finger Mountain into a fortified Creation Heavenly Palace.
• The Demon Emperor admitted he could not defeat Heng Hua and offered three full-power swords to reveal the arts of Jin Xia, Li Tian, and himself.
• The Demon Emperor’s first sword imitated Jin Xia’s myriad curses, and Heng Hua’s formations countered it; his second unleashed Li Tian’s purifying fire, which burned through the Heavenly Palace.

• Heng Hua sensed Tongjun and Big Brother below, prepared his defenses, and descended into the Nine Underworlds World.

Fu Tongjun stole three treasures from the Sea of Stellar Lodges, descended into the Earth Abyss, and uncovered a hidden world beneath the continents. After she fought the forces of Demon Emperor Puhe, Fu Henghua arrived to save her and left her facing questions about her actions.

• Fu Tongjun sent Fu Xuanxing and his companions a map and instructions for setting Dragon Horn Gate on fire while she continued her mission alone.
• Fu Tongjun examined the treasures she had stolen, used an iron plate to discover the underground layout of the continents, and traveled through the First Earth Abyss toward the Right Continent.

• Fu Henghua trapped the Grandmaster in the form of a peach tree, then confronted Fu Tongjun about the destruction and warned her that Fu Xuanhe was with him.

Fu Henghua and Fu Tongjun reunited with Fu Xuanhe in the Nine Underworlds, where they uncovered the Mingxi Devilfolk’s alliance with the Puhe Devil Palace. As Fu Henghua began devising a Core Formation method for Tongjun, a tale in Strange Records of the Divine Land II recounted the destruction of an evil peach grove.

• Fu Tongjun accused Fu Henghua of using an evil tree-transformation art, but he insisted his method followed the Wood Immortal Dao and could reform the Sword Devil.
• Fu Xuanhe arrived and burned the transformed Sword Devil, then reprimanded Tongjun for cultivating gu arts while praising Henghua’s benevolence.
• Fu Henghua extracted intelligence from the Mingxi Devilfolk’s remains, and he and his siblings learned that the clan had multiple Tribulation Immortals and might support the demonic path.
• Fu Henghua studied the Nine Underworlds model and theorized that the Dragon Kings had sunk Donglai by cutting away its underground support.
• Fu Tongjun offered Henghua treasures from the Sea of Stellar Lodges to enlist his help, but he recognized her plan and began calculating a Core Formation method for her.
• Strange Records of the Divine Land II told how Shan Lingzi exposed an immortal who turned people into longevity-giving peach trees, only for the grove’s founder to restore it and eventually be destroyed during the war to exterminate evil.

Fu Henghua devised a supreme Core Formation method for Fu Tongjun that united her seven Gu into a Gu God while letting her retain a First-Rank Golden Core in her own right. After warning her about her killing karma and urging her to act with restraint, he brought her to the Third Earth Abyss to begin the dangerous fire trials required by the method.

• Fu Henghua demonstrated a Five-Poison formation and explained why Fu Tongjun's accumulated killing karma and lack of virtuous merit made a Supreme Grade Golden Core and Heavenly Tribulation perilous.
• Fu Henghua agreed to teach Fu Tongjun a supreme Core Formation method after she promised to act more prudently, and he revealed a Gu God Dharma Form that united her seven Gu.

• Fu Henghua contacted Hengshou and Xiaoyu, who arranged for Hengshou to borrow the sword sheath and coordinate the search for missing people with Yu Xiaolei and the Crimson Abyss Daoist Sect.
• Fu Henghua, Fu Xuanhe, and Fu Tongjun reached the Third Earth Abyss, where Fu Xuanhe raised a Profound Fire Altar to support Fu Tongjun's trial at the cavern's edge.

Fu Tongjun endured a starfire and resentful-spirit tribulation, using her Gu and a demon formation while Fu Henghua explained the principles behind her Gu path. Meanwhile, Hengshou negotiated with demons besieging Fu Xuanxing’s group, and Fu Xuanxing agreed to travel with him to aid Fu Tongjun.

• Fu Tongjun faced a heavenly tribulation of meteors and resentful spirits, and used her Five-Poison Gu Kings and five Demon Kings to defend herself while refining her Frost Gu and Fire Butterfly Gu.

• Hengshou found Fu Xuanxing, Qiu Danyu, Fang Dongyuan, Sun Yan, and Yin Yulong surrounded by demons after the Sea of Stellar Lodges burned.
• Hengshou invoked the Nine-Day Truce Agreement, threatened retaliation against captured devil disciples, and promised to return Her Divine Consort if Profound Origin City found her.
• The demons withdrew, and Fu Xuanxing agreed to accompany Hengshou and help add fuel to Fu Tongjun’s tribulation.

Fu Tongjun underwent the threefold Fire Tribulation and rejected Fu Henghua’s method, forging her own painful path to the Gu God. She emerged from the Eight Trigrams Furnace as a goddess who had glimpsed the secret of the Dao-Unification Realm.

• Fu Henghua and Fu Xuanhe drove away fire spirits and monsters drawn to Fu Tongjun’s tribulation, while Fu Hengshou arrived with news that Fu Beidou had been rescued but was severely poisoned.

• The Fire Spirit recognized Fu Tongjun’s emergence as a glimpse of the Dao-Unification Realm.

Fu Tongjun survived the three Fire Tribulations by splitting her shattered Golden Core into twelve Gu, then used her new powers to defeat an Earthfire Dragon and challenge Fu Henghua. Fu Henghua easily overcame her Gu God Domain, and Fu Xuanhe teleported the group away after arranging future dealings with Rong Yan.

• Fu Tongjun seized the Great Dao’s opportunities to form a Golden Core, endured Heavenly Retribution, and divided her shattered core and Spirit Soul into twelve Gu to attain a First-Rank Golden Core.

• Fu Tongjun challenged Fu Henghua with her Gu God Domain, but Fu Henghua suppressed it with the Five Elements Mountain Method and defeated her.
• Fu Xuanhe ended the fight, exchanged contact with Rong Yan about future trade, and used spirit talismans to teleport the group away.
