• The Demon Sovereign’s son learned that the Phantom Eye Demon Country had failed to take Broken Mountain City, while the Lu Kingdom front remained deadlocked and the Great Qi army captured Cangzhou and Lanzhou.
• After realizing Song Changsheng had avoided his bait, the Demon Sovereign’s son ordered the Demon Kings to redirect their main attack toward the Great Qi Cultivation World and spread out to provoke Song into action.

Song Changsheng was trapped by Yin Jue, the seventh son of the Devouring Heaven Demon Sovereign, who used four Silver-Winged Dragon Sparrow Demon Kings and spatial magic tools to create a deadly spatial collapse. Song Changsheng survived the resulting void black hole with the Heavenly Dao Tree’s protection and escaped, but Yin Jue ordered the infiltrating Demon Kings to surround him.

• Song Changsheng, nearly exhausted and facing Yin Jue at full strength, suddenly howled, "Sword, come!"

Song Changsheng used the Human King Sword’s stored luck to unleash a devastating strike against Yin Jue’s demon forces, then activated the Third Killing Formation Under Heaven when pill toxin threatened to leave him helpless. His formation slaughtered the demon horde, while Yin Jue escaped through space using several life-saving treasures.

• Song Changsheng summoned the Chengyuan Sword and used the Great Qi Immortal Dynasty’s stored Power of Luck to unleash the [Nation's Prosperity] sword strike.

Dujiao Demon King found the battlefield strewn with dead Demon Kings and discovered the badly injured Song Changsheng, but spared him before Song Qingxing and the human cultivators arrived. Medicine King treated Song Changsheng with [Yellow Springs Water], driving out the pill toxin and stabilizing him; the chapter ended with Shi Potian questioning why Dujiao Demon King had been kept alive.

The pursuit became a vast battle at the Canglan River, where human cultivators reorganized into formations to crush the demons’ resistance.

As the Human Race withdrew to recover and await the Demon Race’s next move, Venerable Blood Gu and Venerable Blood Soul arrived to restore their Sacred Artifacts using the battlefield’s blood essence.

• The Human Race’s disciplined formations, arrow volleys, and coordinated close combat tore through the Demon Beasts, while Song Youfu hunted Great Demons with poison-coated arrows and noticed Song Xingyuan, Song Mingshuang, and Song Jingxuan fighting nearby.

• Song Xingyuan used five Spirit Swords while Song Mingshuang and Song Jingxuan fought beside him, and the three continued to grow through their battlefield experience.
