• Hong Chidao threatened the gathered crowd into silence, then a five-colored beam appeared in the distance and startled everyone.

• Xiao Chen warned the Tai Xu Sect that the Divine Treasure was not a blessing but the start of a monstrous calamity.

• Zhang Zhengchun blamed Wu Heisha, who revealed that Huang Yelang had absorbed the stolen elixir.

Huang Yelang’s theft left Xiao Chen with only half the holy elixir needed to counter his Evil Curse, so he gambled on absorbing the curse with Sigh of the Gods after suppressing it. As Xiao Chen entered the Yang Pool, the elixir unexpectedly soothed him and began fading the curse, though he feared the process was too smooth to be safe.

• Zhao Changhe and the elders learned that Huang Yelang had arranged for Wu Heisha and his companions to steal the Ancient Holy Hall Key and half the Yang Elixir, then killed the thieves in fury.

• Xiao Chen activated Sigh of the Gods and saw its shrine manifestation, which contained the paths he had already mastered.
• Xiao Chen connected his mind to the curse and entered a freezing world of despair, where his vitality rapidly drained and death qi gathered around him.

Xiao Chen’s attempt to comprehend the Path of Calamity plunged him into a darkness that dredged up every misery of his past and brought his Soul Fire close to extinction. As Xue Shan taunted him and those outside the holy hall feared for his life, Xiao Chen struggled to hold on.

• After Xiao Chen began comprehending the Path of Calamity, Qiongqi realized the danger and asked Hong Chidao for advice; Hong Chidao warned that Xiao Chen had to preserve his last spark of hope.

• Xue Shan recognized Qiongqi as the ancient Progenitor Demon God before Qiongqi destroyed his remnant soul.
• Zhao Changhe and the elders realized Xiao Chen’s life aura had vanished, and the Green-Armored Elder brought his corpse out of the Holy Pool.
• Wu Qinglong and the Tai Xu Sect mourned Xiao Chen, but Qiongqi refused to leave his successor’s body with the sect and carried it away.

• Wen Haishan, Wen Wanrong, Xiao Zhentian, and Xiao Lingtian waited in a great hall for news of Xiao Chen.
