NanGong Sheng used the Thirty-Fifth Move of his Yi Tian Immortal Array to create a spatial copy of Ye Qingcheng that matched her strength and forced her into a fierce battle.

As Zhong Shan and his companions watched NanGong Sheng use the stars to decipher the Earth Book, Xianxian expanded her wolf forces. Wine Old Man sensed an unprecedented ill omen, prompting Zhong Shan to send the others back to court, but members of the Tian Household arrived and Xiao Wang appeared among them.

• Corpse Mister suggested NanGong Sheng had stayed to open the Earth Book, and Zhong Shan deduced that NanGong Sheng was using a formation to link the Floating Blood Sea with the stars.
• Xianxian recruited more than a dozen wolf generals, who swore Blood Oaths and recognized her as their supreme.
• After twenty days, Wine Old Man sensed a great ill omen more dangerous than the Brain-Eating Beast, so Zhong Shan ordered Gu Qian You to lead the others back to court while he stayed behind.
• Yin Luo Ri refused to leave because he wanted to witness the ill omen, and Zhong Shan told the departing group to obey Gu Qian You.
• Nearly fifty members of the Tian Household arrived, and Zhong Shan recognized Xiao Wang among them.

• A black-robed elder told his companions that a saint had fallen and Heaven and Earth were mourning.

Three powerful Witch Clan figures appeared, and their leader struck Tian Xiao unconscious, leaving Xiao Wang in command of the Tian family.

• Blood rain and mist spread across the worlds, and Ying, Divine Crow Dao Lord, Xuan Yuan, and others recognized the sign of a Saint’s fall.

• The Witch Clan leader struck Tian Xiao down with a single finger, and Tian Xiao ordered the Tian family to obey Xiao Wang before he fainted.

• Yin Luo Ri recognized the trap as a powerful Witch’s own world, while Zhong Shan urged him to find its weakness and promised they would take turns fighting.

Zhong Shan and his allies confronted a powerful Witch Clan member, while Zhong Shan learned how immortal ranks depended on the level reached before ascension. When ordinary attacks and his Reincarnation Eye failed to stop the Witch, Zhong Shan opened the Reincarnation Tunnel and prepared to unleash its full power.

• Zhong Shan exposed Tian Xiao’s feigned collapse, and Tian Xiao explained that he had played dead to evade Xing Tai Dou and the Witch Clan member.
• King Skeleton explained to Zhong Shan that mortals who reached higher levels of the Tian Ji Realm before ascending became higher-ranked immortals, from Yellow Immortal to Heavenly Immortal.

• Zhong Shan used his Reincarnation Eye to weaken the Witch Clan member, then opened the Reincarnation Tunnel and shattered his hat.
• The Witch Clan member recognized the Reincarnation Tunnel and asked whether Zhong Shan was the disciple of the Reincarnation Saint, as Zhong Shan invoked Reincarnation World Extinction.

Zhong Shan revealed six identical selves, overwhelmed the Witch Clan with six Reincarnation Tunnels, and left the battlefield exhausted as NanGong Sheng continued fighting nearby.

Zhong Shan escaped after exhausting himself, while the people he had rescued fled the battlefield. Nian Youyou recognized Gu Qian You among the Purple-haired Man’s intended captives but failed to persuade him to release her; Gu Qian You’s group then fortified a deserted city against the surrounding feng shui formation.

• Zhong Shan retrieved the Apricot Yellow Flag of the Five Direction Flags from his Shadow Clone and hurried after Gu Qian You’s group, while Yin Luo Ri and Tian Xiao awoke and the rescued experts fled.
• Nian Youyou saw Gu Qian You among the people the Purple-haired Man planned to capture and warned him not to provoke her, but he refused because she possessed the Xun Cauldron.
• Gu Qian You led her group to a deserted city after Corpse Mister found it, and explained that she could use feng shui formations to defend them until Zhong Shan arrived.
• Gu Qian You ordered the group to reshape the city and set eighteen formation flags, creating a formation that drove the surrounding mist out and secured them a place to hold out.

Gu Qian You and her allies defended a small city from the Purple-haired Man’s attacks while waiting for Zhong Shan, who entered the feng shui formation and arrived exhausted. As Zhong Shan recuperated, Gu Qian You used the Nine-Tier Entanglement Array to trap the enemy’s formation, while Ye Qingcheng and Master Shen Xiu began a separate plan to capture their opponents.

• Gu Qian You ordered Corpse Mister to summon skeletons and form a defensive array as the Purple-haired Man sent swarms of bats against the city.
