The next episode (Пятый сезон · 181 серия) will be released on 12 January 2026.
A long-form fantasy season focused on endurance, growth, and persistence.

Season 5 of Battle Through the Heavens has firmly established the series as a long-running, continuous story rather than a traditional seasonal project. At this point, it is no longer just a continuation of a popular title, but a full-scale marathon designed for viewers willing to follow the narrative week after week.
The story remains centered on Xiao Yan, a protagonist whose journey is defined not by sudden breakthroughs, but by constant struggle. Loss of power, pressure from powerful clans, and the need to prove his right to exist in a ruthless world of cultivators shape a path that is slow, demanding, and deliberate. In season five, this becomes especially apparent: every step carries consequences, and victories are earned at an increasing cost.
The creators intentionally avoid abrupt narrative jumps. Instead, the series develops its world gradually, expanding the power system, introducing new opponents, and deepening existing conflicts. This approach may not appeal to everyone, but it has allowed the project to maintain a stable audience over the years without burning out.
Animation is handled by Motion Magic, and the visual side of season five feels the most consistent the series has ever been. Battles are clearer, pacing is calmer, and direction feels more confident, without relying on chaotic spectacle to impress.
As of early 2026, season five continues to air with no announced conclusion. This is not a story rushing toward an ending, but one focused on the journey itself — demanding patience from both its hero and its audience.
