• Luo Hong formed hand seals as the two sword attacks clashed.

A Spatial Rift opened during Han Li and the demonic soul’s clash, pulling Han Li and his Green Bamboo Bee Cloud Swords inside while the demonic soul escaped. Luo Hong severed the massive Ancient Demon’s arm, countered its Wave-Shaking Demonic Art with the Golden Moon Curved Saber, and prepared a hidden attack as the battle split in two.

• Han Li recognized the giant Spatial Rift, but Five-Colored auspicious clouds prevented him from gathering magic power and dragged him into the rift along with his swords.

• The Blood Flame Ancient Demon's soul fled, while Wei Wuya sent Sound Transmission Talismans to have other Nascent Soul cultivators hunt it down.
• Wei Wuya thanked Luo Hong and Han Li for defeating the demons, and Elder Cheng urged Luo Hong to rescue Han Li from the Spatial Rift.
• Luo Hong told Wei Wuya and Elder Cheng that Han Li had likely been drawn into an Ancient Cultivator's Space Fragment and would need to find its Spatial Node to escape.
• Luo Hong explained that the unstable Spatial Node could have moved far from its former location, so they would have to wait for Han Li to find the other end himself.
• Wei Wuya asked about Luo Hong's Nine Revolutions Soul Annihilation Great Formation, and Luo Hong described its restrictions and how he had adapted the Myriad Demon Heart Annihilation Curse into it.

• Ancestor Linghu explained that a small valley north of Blazing Fire Peak housed a Medicine Garden for low-grade fire-element Spiritual Herbs, and Luo Hong asked about using it.

Luo Hong secured the Ancient Demon Body in a forbidden valley at Yellow Maple Valley and explained his theory that Demon Particles formed when Spirit Particles split. He left to resume cultivation and prepare several projects, including refining the demon body as an External Incarnation.

• Luo Hong showed Ancestor Linghu the Ancient Demon Body, and Linghu arranged for a valley to be sealed as a forbidden land.
