• A figure standing atop a Taiji Bagua Diagram struck down another beast with Yang Thunder, and Molly recognized the familiar voice.
• A man wreathed in Malevolent Qi Flames sliced a third beast in half, and a wall of threads cut the last beast into pieces before ice froze its corpse.

Lin Qiye reunited with Hong Ying before Nightfall Squad joined the defense at Chennan Pass. He brought a floating mountain engraved with forbidden spells toward the Beast Tide, presenting it as a weapon for the battle.

• Lin Qiye revealed the Forbidden Spell Mountain and moved it toward the core of the Beast Tide.

Lin Qiye activated the Eye of Solomon from Forbidden Spell Mountain and burned away most of the Beast Tide at its densest point. The attack greatly eased the pressure on Chennan Pass, and Zuo Qing asked how many times Lin Qiye could use it again.

Lin Qiye drew the Beast Tide toward his floating mountain while An Qingyu, Cao Yuan, Baili Pangpang, and Jiang Er coordinated defense across the front. At the front line, Baili Pangpang’s distant yang lightning saved Molly and her companions from two Klein-class beasts, leaving Molly shaken.

• Lin Qiye agreed to pace his remaining forbidden spells to relieve pressure on Chennan Pass and stood alone on the floating mountain to draw beasts away from the pass.
• An Qingyu said Lin Qiye could escape by reverse summoning, and the others split up to fight while Baili Pangpang expanded his Bagua domain to support them.
• Wen Qimo and Hong Ying spotted a Klein-class beast approaching their wall section, and Molly moved to meet it head-on.
• The beast struck Molly back, but a bolt of yang lightning from Baili Pangpang blasted its head, and Molly’s broadsword cleaved its body in two.
• A second beast charged Molly, and another bolt of yang lightning shattered its skull before it could reach her.
• Hong Ying called Molly back to attention, but Molly remained shaken as she clenched her broadsword.

Lin Qiye held back the Beast Tide by controlling its Two-headed Birds and unleashing Storm Sacred Sound, then began casting the summoning forbidden spell Netherworld Whisper. The blood-red gate was taking shape above him as the battle continued.

• The Void White Bear and Green Orderly Uniforms fought off the Two-headed Birds, but the flock overwhelmed them and Lin Qiye ordered the orderlies back into the mountain.

Lin Qiye used Netherworld Whisper to erase a vast section of the Beast Tide, then learned that Great Xia’s national destiny had shifted as Huo Qubing’s forces shattered much of India’s fortune. The national destiny battle turned in Great Xia’s favor while Primordial Celestial Venerable and Brahma continued fighting.

• Lin Qiye redirected the shadowy meteor toward the Beast Tide, where it erased at least eighty behemoths, including two Indian Lesser Gods, before returning through the fading portal.
• Lin Qiye realized the entity behind Netherworld Whisper wanted to cross into the world and decided to seal the forbidden spell away.

• Primordial Celestial Venerable told Brahma that India had lost the national destiny battle, and Brahma roared in fury.

The Primordial Celestial Venerable shattered the Indian Pantheon’s origin, weakening its gods on the Chennan Pass battlefield. Zhou Ping killed two Mother Beasts with the Dragon Elephant Sword, and the Queen Mother of the West revealed that she had located the being behind the teleporting ripple.

• The Primordial Celestial Venerable used the Heavenly Court Origin to crack Brahma’s lotus divine throne and shatter the Indian Pantheon’s origin.
• The weakened Indian gods at Chennan Pass faltered as the Great Xia gods pressed their attack, and Guang Chengzi opened a path for Zhou Ping.
