As Demonic Qi consumed her, Xiao Yan entered the Array Diagram and used the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame to help her, leaving them together in the darkness.

• The Medicine Emperor Phantom marveled that Yao Wan would risk becoming a demon to transform her body, and Xiao Yan entered the darkened Array Diagram.
• Xiao Yan took Yao Wan’s hands and used the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame to draw filthy corruption from the technique while its black essence grew purer.

Xiao Yan and Zi Yan discovered that her growing Dragon Phoenix bloodline was making her increasingly powerful, then found a Nine Profound Golden Lightning undergoing Gathering Spirit in the lightning pool. Xiao Yan planned to weaken it so Zi Yan could seize it.

• Xiao Yan questioned why Zi Yan's strength and aura seemed far greater than her Five Star cultivation, and she explained that she was entering the Dragon Phoenix youth period.

• Xiao Yan raised his strength to Seven Star Dou Sheng and called for Zi Yan, whose cry made the Four Demon Saints recognize a Dragon Phoenix.

Xiao Yan and Zi Yan joined forces against the Four Demon Saints, overpowering all four with Heavenly Flames and Zi Yan’s Dragon Phoenix strength.

The Medicine Emperor confronted Void Swallowing Flame to protect the Yao Clan, revealing the power she retained as a remnant soul. After borrowing Xiao Yan’s Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame and Zi Yan’s Nine Profound Golden Lightning, she began overpowering Void Swallowing Flame and prepared to test her remaining strength.

• The Medicine Emperor revealed that she had spared Void Swallowing Flame long ago, and he attacked her and the Yao Clan’s formation with Black Flame.
