Chapter Summaries

A marten demon tortured Qing Zhang to death and delivered the recording to the Demon Race steward, while the black tortoise arranged for Cuiwei to be devoured through ninety million reincarnations.

Fuxi reasoned that Kunpeng was preparing an array to help Di Jun and Tai Yi become Sages, but argued that their new status would limit their ability to fight. As the opposing forces believed victory was assured, Di Jun prepared his twenty-two young heirs to observe the battle and told them to stay behind him.

• Fuxi speculated that Kunpeng was hidden in the Primordial Wilderness setting up an array to make Di Jun and Tai Yi Sages during the battle.

As the battlefield worsened and Di Jun suspected Nuwa had intervened, he ordered the Grand Formation of the Stars to enter its ultimate transformation.

• Di Jun commanded the formation to kill, and the demons sent a river of starlight surging toward the Human Race Alliance.
