Long Tianyin explained the power of the strongest Demon Gods and revealed how far their Cultivation Levels surpassed those of the Alliance.

• Long Tianyin questioned Long Haochen’s belief that the Sun Moon Divine Snail Shield lost power when the sun and moon alternated, and Han Yu proposed that this might instead be when it was strongest.

Long Haochen led the knights in a swift retreat, while the attack revealed the Knight Temple’s new weapon and left the camp in chaos.

• Samikina and the other six Demon Gods used their Demon God Pillars to contain the first forbidden spell, but Devil Race tents and Divine Emperor Legion soldiers within its range turned to ash.

• The chapter explained that the attack targeted the Divine Emperor Legions and Hell Demons, and that the Light Blast Bomb was a secret Knight Temple weapon created during research on Magic Cannon shells.

• The Knight Temple had developed Light Blast Bombs that could stack their explosive power, but their cost and difficulty of use had left only a few hundred in storage.
• Long Tianyin’s command planned a three-pronged surprise attack, using the bombs and forbidden spells while arranging the knights’ waves to protect their retreat.

• Samikina's attack erupted in dark and death energy around Long Haochen.

• Long Tianyin realized Samikina had identified Long Haochen by his four spiritual wings and Star King, and rushed from Dragon Guard Pass to save his grandson.

The Eternal Melody suddenly unleashed golden light that began destroying Samikina’s undead domain, leaving Long Tianyin and Long Haochen stunned and Samikina facing an unexpected reversal.

• Samikina expected Death Reincarnation to kill Long Haochen and give him the divine artifact, but golden light erupted from Long Haochen’s chest and began devouring his domain.
• Long Haochen emerged inside the golden Tower of Eternity, whose power frightened Samikina and consumed the resentful spirits throughout his domain.

• The Tower of Eternity devoured the Resentful Spirit Kings’ fragments, broke through Samikina’s domain, and absorbed the souls of fallen soldiers.
• The Tower’s autonomy drove it to seize the death power and resentful spirits, while Long Haochen still needed to pass Eleiks’s trials to control it fully.

The Tower of Eternity destroyed the twelve Wraith Kings and devoured much of Samikina’s Necromantic Domain before escaping the combined attack of seven Demon Gods. It brought Long Haochen back to its first floor, where he was forced to absorb a surge of pure light spiritual energy and filter out traces of Death Aura.
