Chapter Summary

Key Plot Points and Events

• The Witch leaders confidently reveal that they have studied the Demon Race’s Star Dou Grand Formation and prepared counters after Chen Ku previously forced the Demon Court to expose it.
• Di Jun initially reacts with rage, blaming Chen Ku and the Nine Revolutions Profound Art for strengthening the Witch Race. Donghuang Taiyi restores his resolve, insisting that the Demon Race must fight rather than retreat.
• The Demon Race sacrifices the power, vitality, and souls of countless demons to activate the Star Dou Grand Formation at full strength. Their stars become tangible, world-destroying bodies infused with the True Sun Fire.
• Pangu uses the first two forms of the Heaven Splitting Three Forms:
  • First Form: “An Axe Cleaves Heaven and Earth”—obliterating countless stars and demonstrating overwhelming destructive power.
  • Second Form: “Two Axes, Chaos Splits”—erasing space, laws, and order itself while colliding with the Demon Race’s star-sea attack.
• The clash devastates the Primordial World. Falling star fragments destroy immortal mountains, kill countless beings, and even annihilate a Grand Luo Golden Immortal and his spiritual treasure.
• Both formations survive, but at enormous cost. Demon Saints and Demon Kings explode from the backlash, while countless Witch warriors perish beneath the destructive star fragments.

• Taiyi: His fighting spirit fully awakens. He embodies a warrior’s refusal to yield, using the Chaos Bell to shield the Demon Court and steady Di Jun’s emotions.

• Yuanshi and Tongtian: Both recognize the extraordinary significance of the condensed Heaven Splitting Divine Axe and react with shock and admiration.

• Pride versus survival: Taiyi’s warrior pride and Dijiang’s refusal to lose face both compel their factions to continue fighting despite catastrophic losses.

• Dijiang’s acknowledgment that the Demon Race possesses “some luck” functions as an indirect recognition of Di Jun and Taiyi’s formidable power.
• The battle forces both leaders to abandon earlier assumptions: the Witches must respect the Demon formation, while the Demons must treat the Pangu Phantom’s third form as a genuine existential threat.
• The surrounding cultivators and observers collectively reassess both factions and repeatedly compare them to the absent Chen Ku, whose past actions shape their understanding of the present conflict.
