Fang Chen learned that the Ground-Prostrating Flower had appeared in the Green Gold Mountain Range, where Ground-Prostrating Demons erupted from the fissures. As rival Great Emperors fought their way toward the demons’ lair, Fang Chen set out with Great Emperor Youhan, who could locate the flower.

• Fang Chen used the Soul Devouring Storm to kill at least three hundred demons, while Little Crane collected their bodies and the Spiritual Martial Great Emperor and Great Emperor Youhan watched in astonishment.

Fang Chen slaughtered hundreds of Chen Family and Tang Family Great Emperors with his Soul Devouring Wind Origin Storm, then faced Chen Xuan. Chen Xuan survived the attack because the Eternal Wall blocked Fang Chen’s soul-devouring Sword Lights.

Finding the demons too slow to emerge, he flew toward the Pit and considered using the Myriad Buddhas War Scripture to overcome the resistance around it.

• Ye Qingci saw Fang Chen climbing the rankings and expressed confidence in him, but Great Emperors of the Lu Family surrounded her.

Ye Qingci used her Nether Talisman to kill the Lu Family’s Great Emperors, while Fang Chen finished the Ground-Prostrating Demon hunt and claimed most of the Ground-Prostrating Flower. The Ground-Prostrating Demon King escaped after apparently answering a summons, and the Green Gold Mountain Range began shaking again as Fang Chen found green metallic grains in a falling stone.

• Ye Qingci trapped the Lu Family’s Great Emperors in Netherworld Hell with her Nether Talisman and killed them.

Fang Chen gained the mining rights to the Green Gold Mountain Range after defeating the Chen and Tang Families, then offered other Great Emperors a tenth of the ore they mined. He joined the Spiritual Martial Great Emperor and Great Emperor Youhan in descending into the fissures to mine.

• The Spiritual Martial Great Emperor and Great Emperor Youhan also contracted their Personal Puppets and agreed to mine.
• Fang Chen released Floating Immortal Transformation and the Floating Immortal Battle Array, recalled the Chaos Giant Manifestation, and flew with the two Great Emperors into a fissure.

Fang Chen used his Twilight Power and Heaven Mending Goddess Manifestation to mine Green Gold Ore, eventually smashing the Green Gold Mountain Range with the Black Stone. He began cutting loose the richest ore chunks for Little Crane to collect while the other Great Emperors gathered the scattered pieces.

• Fang Chen demonstrated that his own Twilight Power could pierce and shatter Green Gold Ore, stunning Spiritual Martial Great Emperor and Great Emperor Youhan.
• Fang Chen raised the Black Stone high above the Green Gold Mountain Range and sent it crashing down, creating a vast crater and scattering high-grade ore.
• Fang Chen told the Great Emperors to leave the scattered ore for them to gather and instructed Little Crane to collect the large chunks inside the crater.
• Little Crane found that the large chunks were still attached to the ore vein, so Fang Chen enlarged himself and cut them free with the Profound Yin Sword for Little Crane to collect.
