The Demon Clan attacked the Witch Race with the Cosmic Stellar Formation, expecting the missing Houtu to leave the Twelve Capital Divine Fiend Formation unusable.

• The formation transformed into the Nine Netherworld Passage Formation, allowing tribe members to replace Ancestral Witches and connect its power to the netherworld.

The Nine Netherworld Passage Formation succeeded, and the Witch Race adapted it into formations that kept the Demon Clan’s second battlefield at a stalemate. Hongjun and Di Jun both turned toward Mount Buzhou’s collapse as a way to weaken the Witch Race and devastate the Human Race.

• Zhou Qingqing celebrated the Nine Netherworld Passage Formation’s success, while Jade Pure Primordial Heavenly Venerate boasted and Supreme Pure Laozi chided him for dragging in their absent Third Brother.

• Heavenly Emperor Di Jun sent more Demon Clan fighters against the Witch Race, but the Witch Race used formations modeled on the Nine Netherworld Passage Formation to fill vacant positions and hold the battle at a stalemate.
• Hongjun concluded that Heavenly Dao still allowed Earth Dao and Human Dao to coexist, then planned for Mount Buzhou to collapse when Nuwa sought to attain the Dao.

• Nuwa and Fuxi went to Lotus Heart Hall, where Laozi said Tongtian would arrive without being summoned.

• Tongtian and the others went to Mount Fengqi, where Nuwa manifested her primordial spirit and promised not to resist.
• Tongtian summoned the Four Immortal-Slaying Swords, and Zhou Qingqing urged him on as he gathered his strength to strike.

Master Tongtian found the Human Dao's sliver of life within Nuwa's primordial spirit and prepared to cut down her Saint position. Hongjun then overpowered the Heavenly Dao's attempt to aid Tongtian, leaving him unable to identify the right target for his sword.

• Master Tongtian sent the Four Immortal-Slaying Swords into Nuwa's primordial spirit, where they suppressed its defenses as she endured their destructive force.

Supreme Pure Laozi and Jade Pure Yuanshi decided Zhou Qingqing could convey their plan for Tongtian to use the Demon Path’s power against the Heavenly Dao.

• Master Tongtian stopped his sword at the final moment and did not respond when Fuxi asked what had happened.
• Fuxi suggested reconsidering, but Supreme Pure Laozi and Jade Pure Yuanshi insisted they had only one chance and that Nuwa would not give up.
• Supreme Pure Laozi reasoned that Tongtian was entangled with the Heavenly Dao, and Jade Pure Yuanshi said they could convey a solution through Zhou Qingqing.
• Supreme Pure Laozi and Jade Pure Yuanshi decided Tongtian should imitate Zhou Qingqing’s demonization and draw on the Demon Path to contend with the Heavenly Dao.

• Tongtian drew on the Heavenly Demon Method and Darkened, transforming into Black Tongtian as Zhou Qingqing, Laozi, Yuanshi, and Fuxi watched.
• Tongtian unleashed the Four Immortal-Slaying Swords and cut the Primordial Purple Qi away from Nuwa’s primordial spirit.
• Nuwa’s realm fell, and Fuxi supported her as she transformed into the Twelve-Petaled Creation Azure Lotus to heal herself.
• Zhou Qingqing supported Tongtian, who told Laozi and Yuanshi that he had fulfilled his mission.
• Hongjun realized that Tongtian had severed Nuwa’s Saint position before he could react.

After Tongtian helped Nuwa sever her Heavenly Dao Saint position, the Heavenly Dao ordered its saints to become tribulations and stop her from attaining the Human Dao. Eastern Emperor Taiyi and the Two Sages of the West arrived at Mount Fengqi, where Tongtian defended his choice and left Zhunti unable to argue.

• Laozi told Nuwa that the Heavenly Dao Saints would soon arrive as tribulations to block her path to the Dao.
• Eastern Emperor Taiyi and the Two Sages of the West arrived and saw the Three Pure Ones guarding Nuwa.

• Tongtian challenged Zhunti to address him as Third Senior Brother and warned that he could sever Zhunti's saint position too, prompting Zhunti to apologize.

The Three Pure Ones and the Two Sages of the West argued over whether to stop Nuwa from becoming the first Saint of the Human Dao. As Nuwa’s aura began to rise, Eastern Emperor Taiyi prepared to attack her, while Lady Houtu stood ready to oppose the Western Sages.

• Zhou Qingqing questioned whether Zhunti truly understood his mistake, while Tongtian defended their duty to protect Nuwa as a fellow disciple.
• Jieyin appealed to Yuanshi’s duty to follow Heaven, and Laozi advised Yuanshi to withdraw and keep watch over Gonggong and Zhurong.

Eastern Emperor Taiyi launched an attack with the Two Sages of the West, expecting them to hold back Supreme Pure Laozi and Houtu while he dealt with the others. Supreme Pure Laozi calmly used the Taiji Gourd and the Heaven-and-Earth Mystic Yellow Exquisite Treasure Pagoda to block Jieyin and Taiyi, while Houtu moved against Zhunti, leaving Taiyi alarmed by her familiar aggressiveness.

• Eastern Emperor Taiyi attacked, and Daoist Jieyin and Daoist Zhunti joined the fight under the Heavenly Dao's impetus.
• Daoist Jieyin used the Jieyin Treasure Banner and his Receiving the West divine ability to summon the Heavenly Dao's power against Supreme Pure Laozi.
• Supreme Pure Laozi used the Taiji Gourd and the Supreme Ultimate to counter Jieyin, then sent the Heaven-and-Earth Mystic Yellow Exquisite Treasure Pagoda against Eastern Emperor Taiyi.
• Eastern Emperor Taiyi realized Supreme Pure Laozi had not used his full strength and wondered whether Zhunti's Karma Great Dao had improved.
• Houtu suddenly sent a streak of yellow light toward Daoist Zhunti before he could act, making Eastern Emperor Taiyi fear the situation was repeating his Mount Sumeru encounter.

Daoist Zhunti tried to restrain Houtu with the Karma Great Dao, but Houtu used reincarnation to break his technique and counterattacked. She wounded Zhunti and redirected his weapon at Eastern Emperor Taiyi, leaving the battle between the Saints in disarray.

• Daoist Zhunti used the Seven Treasures Wondrous Tree to attach karma to Houtu’s fist, intending to make it impossible for her to hit him.
• Houtu’s Six Paths of Reincarnation shredded the Bodhi Sacred Qi and nullified Zhunti’s karmic technique.

• Houtu caught the Empowerment Divine Pestle, redirected it toward Eastern Emperor Taiyi, and punched through Zhunti’s Bodhi Golden Body, making him spit blood.
• Eastern Emperor Taiyi sensed the incoming weapon and used the Eastern Emperor Bell to seal space-time and stop it from striking his back.

Daoist Jieyin merged his severed past and future bodies, revealing a power that made the Three Pure Ones reassess him. Supreme Pure Laozi tested Jieyin and then used One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones, sending one of his manifestations to aid the fight against Eastern Emperor Taiyi.

• Houtu kept beating Daoist Zhunti, whose karmic tricks failed to overcome her control of Reincarnation.
• Daoist Jieyin summoned his past and future bodies and merged them into his Divine Body, strengthening his aura.
• Supreme Pure Laozi blasted Jieyin with Great Purity Divine Lightning, but Jieyin crushed it and told him to stop holding back.
• Supreme Pure Laozi realized Jieyin had not severed his present body and used One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones.
• Supreme Pure Laozi sent one manifestation to take the Heaven-and-Earth Mystic Yellow Exquisite Treasure Pagoda and join the battle against Eastern Emperor Taiyi.

Zhou Qingqing protected Mount Fengqi while Supreme Pure Laozi and Houtu fought three Heavenly Dao Saints for thirty yuanhui, giving Nuwa time to comprehend the Human Dao. As Nuwa began her breakthrough, Hongjun secretly sent Heavenly Dao power into the Nine Nether Realm to create a false Reincarnation within the Earth Dao.
