• The Devil Emperor possessed Modona and summoned Yanmo, an Undead Monarch, to cross into Xinghong Ancient City and kill Su Yu, while Xingyue fought to stop him.
• Su Yu learned Yanmo had come from Cloudsky Ancient City and persuaded its stone sculpture and Qinghu to draw Yanmo away by having Qinghu kill a Sun Moon resident and leave the city.

• The Devil Emperor split his Three Lives Bodies and detonated his future self, but Big Fur Ball swallowed his past self, causing it to fall and setting off a blood rain across the heavens.

The Devil Emperor lost two of his Three Lives Bodies to Big Fur Ball and Mother Fur Ball, forcing the great battle to halt as the races withdrew and the human race celebrated several new Invincibles. Su Yu then defied both human and myriad-race pressure, declared his debts repaid, and remained in the ancient city as Great Xia withdrew from the Battlefields of the Heavens.

• Big Fur Ball and Mother Fur Ball returned to the God Devouring Ancient Realm after warning the other races not to harm their little one, while the emperors gathered outside the Demon Realm.

The King of Great Qin sent Niu Baidao to negotiate with Su Yu for the human race, carrying two carriers and seeking access to the ancient cities and Star Mansion.

• Su Yu asked whether the Guardians would support his plan to unite the ancient cities, and Xinghong promised his own help while warning that other Guardians might not cooperate and that Su Yu could bear death qi for only a few cities.
• Star Moon overheard Su Yu joking about absorbing her to death, while Xinghong revealed that Star Mansion had nine levels, supplied Hunter Pavilion with treasures such as Carriers, and was connected to the origins of the holy cities and the Battlefields of the Heavens.
