Ch. 701Prelude to the Final Battle, Devil Ancestor Appears
As the final battle approached, Zhou Ming deployed allies to gather forces and went to Spirit Mountain, where he reversed the demonic Qi pouring from the Demon Realm. At the Demon Realm entrance, he discovered the Heavenly Dao had deliberately let some demonic Qi escape, then confronted Devil Ancestor Luohu across the still-intact seal.
- Zhou Ming sent Taiyi and Di Jun to gather the Demon Race, Tongtian and East Prince Gong to assemble forces from the Heavenly Court and former Immortal Court, and Wu to summon Human Race experts.
- Zhou Ming and the assembled powers arrived at Spirit Mountain, where Buddhist forces struggled to contain the demonic Qi escaping from a shattered array.
- Zhou Ming waved away the demonic Qi, sending it back through the fissure and clearing the skies above Spirit Mountain.
- Zhou Ming inspected the Demon Realm entrance and realized the Heavenly Dao had deliberately allowed some demonic Qi to escape to draw his attention westward.
- Luohu appeared behind the intact Heavenly Dao Seal with a host of powerful subordinates and spoke with Zhou Ming across the barrier.
- Zhou Ming questioned why the Heavenly Dao had left the seal in place, suggesting it feared Luohu might escape or Zhou Ming might enter and kill them.
