• A giant magma hand shot from Hellfire Mountain toward Lu Zhenbei, and Jiang Bei shouted a warning.

The Profound Fire Demon God’s magma hand overwhelmed Lu Zhenbei and dragged Jiang Bei into the Hellfire Divine Pool, leaving the Myriad Forms Bureau believing he had died. The Demon God emerged from the volcano and turned his attention to the Bureau, while Lu Zhenbei and his allies prepared to fight.

• The Profound Fire Demon God rose from the magma in blazing armor, and the Demon Kings and Mu Chiyu welcomed his return.
• Liao Yunfan urged the Bureau to fight, and the Profound Fire Demon God declared that he would destroy the entire Myriad Forms Bureau.

Lu Zhenbei and four Myriad Forms Bureau fighters attacked the newly revived Profound Fire Demon God, but his fire dragon overwhelmed them. Lu Zhenbei then used the Skyspace Pagoda to envelop the Bureau soldiers and civilians in golden light, and they began to disappear as the Demon God admitted he could not stop them.

• The Profound Fire Demon God attacked the Skyspace Pagoda with another fire dragon, and both forces shattered in a burst of light.
• Golden light enveloped Lu Zhenbei, the Myriad Forms Bureau soldiers, and hundreds of thousands of civilians, making them turn transparent as Mu Chiyu cried that they were leaving.

Lu Zhenbei used the Skyspace Pagoda to evacuate the Myriad Forms Bureau and hundreds of thousands of civilians from Hellfire Mountain, leaving the Profound Fire Demon God alive. Back in Zen Cicada City, Lu Zhenbei vowed to avenge Jiang Bei and revealed that Xu Jing of the Myriad Forms Divine Mansion had given him the pagoda.

• Lu Zhenbei and the Myriad Forms Bureau escaped Hellfire Mountain with the Skyspace Pagoda after Xuanfire killed Jiang Bei.
• The Profound Fire Demon God refused to pursue them, explaining that he had recovered only fifty to sixty percent of his strength and suspected the Myriad Forms Divine Mansion supported the Bureau.

After the Profound Fire Demon God revived, Lu Zhenbei and the Myriad Forms Bureau waited for reinforcements from the Myriad Forms Divine Mansion. Meanwhile, Jiang Bei awoke alive in the Hellfire Divine Pool, broke through to Sacred King Realm Major Refinement, and realized he still needed far more strength to face the Demon God.

• Lu Zhenbei explained that the Myriad Forms Divine Mansion had delayed responding to the Demon God's revival and that Xu Jing had secretly given him the Skyspace Pagoda as an escape option.

• Jiang Bei worried about the fate of Lu Zhenbei and the others, then used his merit points to upgrade the Limitless Canon.
• Jiang Bei broke through to Sacred King Realm Major Refinement but concluded that his strength was still insufficient to defeat the Profound Fire Demon God.

Jiang Bei discovered that the Hellfire Divine Pool’s power could fuse with his Eight Karmas Divine Flame, so he began cultivating there to grow stronger before facing the Profound Fire Demon God. Three days later, the Myriad Forms Bureau remained anxious as it awaited reinforcements from the Myriad Forms Divine Mansion.

• Jiang Bei realized he had no Merit Points or time for ordinary cultivation and feared leaving the Hellfire Divine Pool while enemies might be waiting outside.
• Jiang Bei noticed that walking through the lava caused its Fire Attribute power to fuse with and strengthen his Eight Karmas Divine Flame.
• Jiang Bei began drawing the pool’s power into a fiery vortex, deciding to cultivate in seclusion for several days before making further plans.
• Three days later, Liao Yunfan and Qin Lie urged Lu Zhenbei to explain whether the Myriad Forms Divine Mansion would send aid against the Profound Fire Demon God.
• Lu Zhenbei told them that Lord Xu Jing had confirmed reinforcements would be dispatched soon, though the Bureau’s leaders remained worried.

The Myriad Forms Divine Mansion sent Chen Hongyu, a Saint Emperor Realm expert, to help the Myriad Forms Bureau hunt down the Profound Fire Demon God before he recovered his full strength. As Lu Zhenbei began organizing a search, an explosion struck outside the hall and a familiar enemy announced his arrival.

• Chen Hongyu warned that the Profound Fire Demon God was likely recovering in hiding and ordered a search across the Myriad Forms Star Realm.
• Lu Zhenbei began assigning search teams when an explosion shook the hall and a familiar voice declared that it was time to settle a centuries-old debt.

Jiang Bei completed the Nine Karmas Divine Flame and flew toward the Myriad Forms Bureau, where the Profound Fire Demon God, Mu Chiyu, the Demon Kings, and more than a thousand demons confronted the Bureau. The Profound Fire Demon God threatened to kill the Bureau’s leaders, and Mu Chiyu declared the Mu Clan would help destroy it.

• Chen Hongyu led the Bureau’s leaders outside to face the Profound Fire Demon God, while Jiang Bei emerged from Hellfire Mountain with the newly fused Nine Karmas Divine Flame and headed for the Bureau.

Mu Chiyu, the Profound Fire Demon God, and their forces attacked the Myriad Forms Bureau, where Chen Hongyu learned that the demon had fully recovered to Saint Emperor Peak and overwhelmed him. As the Bureau’s forces lost hope, Jiang Bei raced toward the battlefield with a growing sense of danger.

• Mu Chiyu rejected Xu Jing’s warning and said the Mu Clan would help destroy the Myriad Forms Bureau.
• Chen Hongyu, Xu Jing, Peng He, Lu Zhenbei, and the Bureau’s soldiers launched an attack against the Profound Fire Demon God’s demons and the Mu Clan members.
• Chen Hongyu struck at the Profound Fire Demon God, who met his fist with a magma-covered palm and sent him flying, revealing his Saint Emperor Peak strength.
• The Profound Fire Demon God said he had restored his strength over six days and had lured the Bureau into believing it could defeat him.
• Xu Jing, Peng He, and Lu Zhenbei realized they could not contend with the demon, and the Bureau’s soldiers’ morale faltered.
• Jiang Bei hurried toward the Myriad Forms Bureau, pushing his speed to the limit as he felt an ominous premonition.

The Profound Fire Demon God overwhelmed the Myriad Forms Bureau’s strongest fighters and left its remaining members helpless under his pressure. As the three demon kings prepared to execute the fallen defenders, the Crimson Flame Tiger King singled out Lu Zhenbei, leaving Liao Yunfan and Qin Lie unable to save him.

• The Profound Fire Demon God dismissed Chen Hongyu’s warning about the Myriad Forms Divine Mansion and struck him down with a blast of Demonic Power.

• The Profound Fire Demon God ordered the demons to surround Jiang Bei and asked how he had survived the Hellfire Divine Pool.

After emerging from the Hellfire Divine Pool, Jiang Bei revealed that he had advanced from Sacred King Realm Minor Refinement to Saint Emperor Realm Major Refinement in six days, shocking everyone and enraging the Profound Fire Demon God.

• Xuanfire declared that his Saint Emperor Realm Peak strength still made him superior, but Jiang Bei challenged him and stepped forward to fight.

• Xuanfire acknowledged Jiang Bei's strength, declared that his subordinates had been expendable, and vowed that Jiang Bei would die.

Jiang Bei fought the Profound Fire Demon God, Xuanfire, to a standstill as the Nine Karmas Divine Flame repeatedly weakened Xuanfire’s Demonic Power. After refusing Xuanfire’s offer to join forces, Jiang Bei faced him again as both prepared to fight until only one survived.

• The Profound Fire Demon God turned to face Jiang Bei and roared that Jiang Bei was forcing him to fight.

Jiang Bei battered the Profound Fire Demon God and drove him into a deep pit, refusing to accept the demon’s offer of a secret in exchange for his life. As Jiang Bei moved to stop the fleeing Mu Chiyu, an avatar of Mu Ting appeared and blocked his attack.

• Mu Ting berated Mu Chiyu for the Mu Clan's defeat and prepared to leave with him, saying his clone could only take one person through the spatial rift.
• Mu Ting refused to rescue Xuanfire until Xuanfire offered to reveal the location and entrance to the Flame Lord's Heavenly Tomb.

• Jiang Bei judged that his new strength would let him handle the Profound Fire Demon God more easily, but he worried Mu Ting was stronger and began resting before further cultivation.
