Yuanyi carries the Great Vehicle-grade Great Sun Golden Ceremonial Mace, while Yuzhen wields a powerful net woven from Geng Metal threads and silkworm silk.
• The demon unleashes a vast black-red demonic domain, covering the heavens in mist, killing intent, and demonic flames. He angrily accuses the Eastern Heaven Daoist Sect of targeting him, but Yuzhen reveals that their true target has always been the Azurewave Dragon King—the demon was only an incidental obstacle.
