• Hun Potian revealed that the Myriad Forms Divine Mansion could not protect the Dragon Flame Heavenly Gate and demanded that He Qingtian submit and disclose Jiang Bei’s whereabouts.

• Li Hongtian awarded Jiang Bei the Nirvana Furyfire seed, and Lin Jing learned that the Divine Mansion’s factions had temporarily eased their infighting amid the threat from the Mu Clan and the Profound Fire Demon God.
• Jiang Bei swallowed the flame seed and endured its violent power for more than two hours as he used the Nine Karmas Divine Flame to protect himself.
• Jiang Bei merged the Nirvana Furyfire with his flame power, broke through to the Saint Emperor Realm Major Refinement, and tested the two flames together.
• Li Hongtian announced that the Mu Clan and the Profound Fire Demon God were searching for the Flame Lord’s Heavenly Tomb and called for an immediate attack.

• Li Hongtian introduced Jiang Bei to the gathered officials, citing his victories against the Demon King, Hun Potian, and the Profound Fire Demon God.

• Jiang Bei sensed an ambush, and hundreds of armed figures burst from the surrounding space and encircled the Divine Mansion force.

• Su Wen mocked Mu Ting over the Profound Fire Demon God's defeat and renewed his attack, but neither fighter gained the advantage.

• Su Wen and Zhong Ming recognized the Ancient Demon Sect as a powerful force from the Violet Profound Realm, while its leader declared that the Divine Mansion had no further role in the matter.
• Su Wen identified the leader as Feng Ye, who confirmed his identity.

Jiang Bei refused to let the Myriad Forms Divine Mansion retreat and confronted Feng Ye and another Ancient Demon Sect expert while Su Wen held Mu Ting back. He fought the two God-Annihilation Realm experts to a draw, leaving both sides stunned.

• Feng Ye revealed that the Ancient Demon Sect intervened to protect Xuanfire because he knew about the Flame Lord's Heavenly Tomb, and Mu Ting explained that he had recruited the sect as an ally.
• Su Wen and Zhong Ming decided through spiritual transmission that the Divine Mansion should retreat, but Jiang Bei insisted he could handle the Ancient Demon Sect's two God-Annihilation Realm experts.

• Mu Ting was shocked that Jiang Bei could fight both experts to a draw, and Su Wen laughed with renewed confidence as their battle continued.

• Feng Ye and Black Robe attacked Jiang Bei together, but he countered with both flames and battered them into a crater.

• Jiang Bei struck Feng Ye and Black Robe with the Heavenfire Ruler, killing them in an eruption of two-colored flames.

Jiang Bei killed Xuanfire and destroyed his body, apparently cutting off the secret of the Flame Lord's Heavenly Tomb, but the Ancient Demon Sect used the Soul-Transference Art to seize his soul and escape. The Divine Mansion was left fearing that the sect could resurrect Xuanfire and regain access to the tomb.

• Jiang Bei killed Feng Ye and Black Robe, then struck down Xuanfire despite the Fifth Elder and Mu Ting trying to stop him.
• Mu Ting realized Xuanfire's death had seemingly closed the Flame Lord's Heavenly Tomb, while Su Wen, Zhong Ming, and the Divine Mansion celebrated Jiang Bei's victory.
• The Fifth Elder used the Ancient Demon Sect's Soul-Transference Art to draw the souls of Xuanfire, Feng Ye, and Black Robe into a black vortex.
• Jiang Bei tried to destroy the vortex, but the Fifth Elder delayed him and escaped with the Ancient Demon Sect disciples and Mu Ting.
• Su Wen and Zhong Ming reassured Jiang Bei, recognizing his role in defeating the Ancient Demon Sect's forces and destroying Xuanfire's body.

After the Ancient Demon Sect captured Xuanfire’s soul, Su Wen revealed that he had secretly marked Mu Ting so the Divine Mansion could track the sect to the Flame Lord’s Heavenly Tomb. As Su Wen’s force rushed back, they learned Wei He and Xiahou Yuan had rebelled, while Li Hongtian faced Wei He in battle at the Divine Mansion.

• Su Wen told Jiang Bei and Zhong Ming that he had planted a hidden tracker on Mu Ting and warned that the Ancient Demon Sect’s greater strength required urgent reinforcements.

• Su Wen ordered his force to race back to the Myriad Forms Divine Mansion as fighting raged across its plaza.
• Li Hongtian confronted Wei He, who declared his intention to kill the ailing old Mansion Lord and claim leadership of the Divine Mansion.

Wei He revealed that he had betrayed the Divine Mansion and arranged for Su Wen and Jiang Bei to be ambushed, then summoned Treading Spirit Sect fighters to help seize control. Li Hongtian fought off Wei He’s first attack but faced overwhelming odds after the Upper Star Realm sect demanded the Divine Mansion’s resources.

• Wei He told Li Hongtian that he had informed Mu Ting of Su Wen and Jiang Bei’s expedition, leaving them to face the Mu Clan, the Profound Fire Demon God, and the Ancient Demon Sect.

• Li Hongtian killed several of Wei He’s followers and held his ground against Wei He and Xiahou Yuan.
• Wei He summoned five members of the Treading Spirit Sect, including God-Annihilation Realm Major Refinement experts Hua Xuan and Hua You.
• Li Hongtian pleaded with Hua Xuan and Hua You not to interfere, but they refused and demanded all the Divine Mansion’s resources.
• Hua Xuan said the Treading Spirit Sect would withdraw only if Li Hongtian could offer twice the resources Wei He had promised, prompting Li Hongtian to condemn Wei He.

Li Hongtian fought Hua Xuan, Hua You, and three other Treading Spirit Sect members to defend the Myriad Forms Divine Mansion, but they overwhelmed and gravely wounded him. Jiang Bei, Su Wen, Zhong Ming, and thousands of Divine Mansion soldiers arrived just as Hua You was about to kill Li Hongtian, leaving the confrontation poised to resume.

• Li Hongtian stood against the five Treading Spirit Sect attackers and fought them alone to keep them from crossing the threshold.

• Jiang Bei, Su Wen, Zhong Ming, and thousands of Divine Mansion soldiers arrived at the plaza.
• Su Wen rushed to Li Hongtian, who recognized the arriving allies and expressed relief that they were safe.
