• Heavenly Envy Demon Lord oversaw the construction of a fourth-grade spirit vein and formation on Dragon Fish Island using reparations from Nascent Soul cultivators.

He completed the Nine Nether Profound Wood Great Array and began launching Star Pagodas, preparing to face the Demon Race’s Spirit Transformation cultivator.

Fang Xi used the Nine Nether Profound Wood Great Array and its Demon Domain to ambush the Yao army, killing or trapping its elite attackers. After the Heavenly Phoenix Clan’s Spirit Transmutation expert appeared, Fang Xi challenged him to end the battle, but the Yao forces moved to the formation’s edge.

• Elder Luan ordered low-grade Yao Beasts to attack the formation for ten days, sacrificing more than a million without destroying it.

A Spirit Transmutation Heavenly Phoenix ambushed Fang Xi, then destroyed Elder Qing and Elder Peng, leaving the battle unresolved.

• Fang Xi used the repaired Positive-Negative Nine Nether Darkwood Formation, the Grand Formation of the Myriad Stars, and Taiyi's Chaos Annihilation Star Cannon to badly wound the Spirit Transmutation Heavenly Phoenix.

He headed for Shaoyang City to investigate an Ancient Teleportation Array, where he spotted Jueyanzi escorting Madam Snake and other bound cultivators, possibly over a Treasure Map.
