Xiao Yan was attacked by a mysterious middle-aged man who mistook him for the one responsible for his child’s bloodline, while Hun Tiandi stepped in to protect him. As the Emperor Grade Pill Embryo unleashed its power, Xiao Yan realized the attacker was likely Zhu Kun, and Hun Tiandi trapped the pill in the World of Death, only for it to absorb the array’s Death Qi.

He offered to free the Pill Embryo in exchange for an answer about its reactions to Nihility Devouring Flame, leaving the reason for its shock unresolved.

• Hun Tiandi activated the Slaying Emperor Formation using his clansmen's bloodlines, while Void Swallowing Flame failed to control the elders through his Void Seeds.

• Xiao Yan revealed that Tou She Ancient God's statue contained a legacy and deduced that Nihility Devouring Flame and the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame were keys to opening it, not inheritors.
• Zhu Kun confirmed that he had been unable to open the statue, and the Emperor Grade Pill Embryo clarified that the Tou She Ancient God Jade was not the key.
• Xiao Yan offered to transfer the Pill Embryo's spirit into another pill so it could leave the cave mansion, then asked why it had been shocked by Nihility Devouring Flame's lost memories and use of the Pill Transformation Divine Skill.
