Xu Yi fought Pang Qingyun and Uncle Yin's group amid the Three Flowers Myriad Forms Formation, where golden monsters continually revived. Though Uncle Yin's talisman-enhanced team drove Xu Yi to the brink, Xu Yi killed Uncle Yin with a lightning-shaped treasure, and corpse qi began flowing toward his chest.

Xu Yi underwent the Sixth Tribulation of Lightning inside the Divine Tomb, but Heaven directed most of its power at the Devil King after both were dragged into the tribulation’s blue energy.

Xu Yi survived the Sixth Tribulation of Lightning by enduring the Demon King's attack and diverting the tribulation through the Door of No Reason. After recovering and reclaiming Zixiao, he used the clear heavenly intent to glimpse the final Seven Mansions of the South, which he still needed to comprehend.
