During the competition, Hun Cang sensed Nihility Devouring Flame moving in secret and allowed it to proceed so he could test his strength against it.

• Hun Xuzi arrived at the Yao Clan Medicine Canon without an invitation, and Yao Dan ordered the elders to guard the Medicine Realm passage and stay in contact with the Lei Clan and the Ancient Clan.

• Hun Xuzi joined the alchemy competition and provoked Hun Cang, but Hun Cang declined to demonstrate his skills.
• As the alchemy competition proceeded, Hun Cang sensed Nihility Devouring Flame concealed in the surrounding void and allowed it to continue so he could test whether he could face it.

Hun Xuzi used Nihility Devouring Flame to overpower his rivals and draw enough Heaven and Earth Power to complete a Ninth-grade Profound Pill. As the Profound Pill emerged, Hun Cang continued to wait despite noticing the flame spreading around the Medicine Realm.

• Hun Xuzi, Elder Wanhuo, and Shennong the Elder began refining Profound Pills by gathering Heaven and Earth Power.
• Hun Cang noticed Nihility Devouring Flame silently spreading around the Medicine Realm but decided to wait before warning anyone.

• Hun Xuzi siphoned power from the other two cauldrons, and Nihility Devouring Flame swallowed their attacks and Heavenly Flames.
• Hun Xuzi gathered the remaining power into his pill, and Pill Rain announced the emergence of a Profound Pill.

Hun Cang seized Hun Xuzi’s newly refined Ninth-grade Profound Pill, and their confrontation escalated when Hun Xuzi demanded the Yao Clan’s Tou She Ancient God Jade. Hun Xuzi revealed the Hun Clan’s plan to destroy the Yao Clan with Nihility Devouring Flame, while Yao Dan’s attempt to summon help was blocked.

As the Hun Clan’s attack trapped the Yao Clan inside the Heaven Transformation Medicine Array, Hun Cang used the chaos to steal the Heavenly Flames of Elder Wanhuo and Shennong the Elder. The battle in the sky was nearing its end as Hun Cang looked up.

• Yao Dan revealed that the Nihility Devouring Flame had sealed the Medicine Realm and ordered the Yao Clan to activate the Heaven Transformation Medicine Array.

As Nihility Devouring Flame overwhelmed the ancestor and used the captured Yan Clan members to strengthen his assault, the array cracked under the strain.

• Nihility Devouring Flame appeared outside the Heaven Transformation Medicine Array and began draining its energy while Hun Cang watched with a desire to devour him.
• Yao Dan poured countless pills into the array and summoned the Medicine Emperor’s remnant soul, prompting the Yao Clan members to kneel and hail their ancestor.
• Nihility Devouring Flame attacked the Medicine Emperor with a finger of Black Flame, and repeated blows weakened both the remnant soul and the array.

Outside the formation, the Yao and Hun clans watched in disbelief as Hun Cang pursued Nihility Devouring Flame, who remained wary of the formation and Hun Cang’s techniques.

• The Yao and Hun clans stopped fighting and watched in astonishment as Nihility Devouring Flame avoided Hun Cang’s attacks inside the formation.

Hun Cang used the Heaven Refining Ancient Formation and his seals to split apart Nihility Devouring Flame’s power, forcing him to retreat from the formation after losing more than half his strength. Nihility Devouring Flame then seized the Ancient Jade from Yao Dan and ordered the Hun Clan to retreat.

• Nihility Devouring Flame taunted Hun Cang as the Heaven Refining Ancient Formation continued to shrink, while Hun Cang endured his attacks and finished preparing his seals.
• Hun Cang used the Fifth Seal, Merge, to draw the flames Nihility Devouring Flame had devoured into his body, making Nihility Devouring Flame’s power surge and then destabilize.

• Nihility Devouring Flame escaped through the closing passage, and Hun Cang absorbed the flames left inside the Heaven Refining Ancient Formation.
• Nihility Devouring Flame attacked Yao Dan and took the Ancient Jade, then opened passages beside the Hun Clan members and ordered them to retreat.
