• Both sides agree to enter the Heaven-Sealing Great Formation and fight freely until the Ancient Battlefield manifests.

• The ancient Tree King of Qinghai Forest warns both sides not to cause trouble in his territory, and the major factions agree.

• Mysterious Yin Corpse King: Continues to serve as Xu Chuan’s powerful frontline fighter. He feels envious when Blood Fiend may receive the Three-Life Nether Scripture, but remains obedient and fights despite facing a stronger enemy formation.

Chapter Summary: “Ten Thousand Ghosts Devour Spirit, Netherworld Unceasing!”

Key Plot Points and Events

• Xu Chuan’s Thousand Soul Banner devours Lu Jin completely after Lu Jin begs for mercy, leaving behind only his black flying sword and Storage Bag. Xu Chuan calmly claims the spoils, provoking Yin Feng Old Demon.
• Yin Feng attempts to turn the group against Xu Chuan by suggesting Qi Feng Demon Lord might eventually possess one of them. Xu Chuan sarcastically pretends to be hurt that no one trusts his “honesty,” embarrassing Xu Dewen.
• As the protective Bronze Ancient Shield begins to crack under the combined attacks of the War Demon and Qi Feng Demon Lord, Zhang Daoran orders everyone to focus on defeating their common enemies.
• Yin Feng summons a massive Yin Qi Flood Dragon from the Thousand Soul Banner to hold back the War Demon, while Zhang Daoran and Cang He jointly attack Qi Feng Demon Lord.
• Qi Feng effortlessly neutralizes Zhang Daoran’s Sword Qi and Cang He’s lightning-infused whisk strands. He manifests his True Demon Body and withstands Cang He’s powerful thunder strike with almost no injury, then suppresses both Nascent Soul cultivators in close combat.
• Yin Feng’s battle is also unfavorable. His existing injuries and the strange Baleful Intent constantly drain his strength and concentration. The War Demon eventually destroys the Yin Qi Flood Dragon, though Yin Feng manages to pierce the War Demon and increase the burden on the formation’s maintainers.
• After three hours of battle, Yin Feng detonates the Yin Qi Flood Dragon. The explosion destroys the War Demon’s body and severely damages Lu Chang, Xie Xun, and the others, but it also greatly weakens the Thousand Soul Banner and injures Yin Feng further.
• Yin Feng tries to escape during the chaos. Xu Chuan secretly releases the Mysterious Yin Corpse King from the Corpse Bag, revealing a powerful hidden trump card.
• The Fourth-tier Corpse King intercepts Yin Feng. With Yin Feng’s treasures weakened and his body badly injured, he cannot resist. The Corpse King and the reconstituted War Demon surround and destroy him.
• Yin Feng’s escaping Nascent Soul is briefly halted by Xu Chuan’s spiritual attack, captured by the Corpse King, and devoured. His body, Storage Ring, Thousand Soul Banner, and other Magic Treasures are taken by Xu Chuan.
• The Corpse King then attacks Lu Chang, Xie Xun, and the remaining formation members. It kills several of them and breaks their formation before returning to Xu Chuan’s barrier.
• Zhang Daoran and Cang He abandon Yin Feng and retreat into Xu Chuan’s Crimson Light Barrier, recognizing that cooperation with Xu Chuan is now their best chance of surviving Qi Feng Demon Lord.
• Qi Feng orders Zhang Daoran and Cang He’s associates to target Xu Chuan when the next attack begins, while he intends to keep the Corpse King occupied. He also warns them not to steal Xu Chuan’s treasures.
• Inside the barrier, Xu Chuan refines the Soul Gathering Banner and absorbs the ghosts from the Black-robed Youth’s Hundred Ghosts Banner into it. He distributes newly acquired treasures: Yin Feng’s shield and another high-grade war blade go to Xu Dewen, while the Bone Nail is given to the Blood Fiend Ghost King.
• After several days, Zhang Daoran and Cang He recover fully. They negotiate a plan: they will stall Qi Feng Demon Lord, while Xu Chuan and the Corpse King handle the Golden Core experts. Xu Chuan may keep the spoils from those he kills.
• Xu Chuan warns that Qi Feng has not yet shown his full strength and may be a remnant soul of a powerful True Demon above the Spirit Transformation realm. He also deduces that Zhang Daoran likely possesses a hidden trump card supplied by the Mysterious Moon Old Ancestor.

Character Developments

• Xu Chuan: Becomes increasingly calculating, ruthless, and openly opportunistic. He allows enemies to weaken one another before striking, secretly deploys the Corpse King, claims the spoils of battle, and turns Yin Feng’s death into a major power gain. His mastery of the Soul Gathering Banner further expands his combat strength.
• Xu Dewen: Continues to act obediently and trust Xu Chuan’s judgment. He gains several valuable Magic Treasures and True Demon Qi, which will strengthen his demonic cultivation, but he also understands the importance of concealing Xu Chuan’s true gains.
• Yin Feng Old Demon: Changes from an aggressive, manipulative Nascent Soul demon into a desperate fugitive. His injuries, damaged Thousand Soul Banner, and failed escape leave him helpless before Xu Chuan’s Corpse King. He is ultimately destroyed body and soul.
• Qi Feng Demon Lord: Demonstrates overwhelming strength by suppressing Zhang Daoran and Cang He together and resisting their strongest techniques. He remains calm and confident, but Xu Chuan’s Corpse King and hidden abilities force him to treat Xu Chuan as a serious threat.
• Zhang Daoran and Cang He: Their initial distrust of Xu Chuan shifts toward reluctant cooperation. They recognize that neither can survive Qi Feng alone and accept Xu Chuan’s protection and battle plan.
• Mysterious Yin Corpse King: Establishes itself as a terrifying close-combat trump card. It kills Yin Feng, devours his Nascent Soul, collects his remains and treasures, and devastates the enemy formation. Its strength is poised to increase after digesting the Nascent Soul.
• Lu Chang, Xie Xun, and the other possessed cultivators: Suffer severe backlash when the War Demon is destroyed, then lose their formation to the Corpse King. Several are killed outright.

Significant Themes

• Betrayal and distrust: Every faction expects the others to betray them, making cooperation temporary and self-serving. Xu Chuan mocks the disappearance of trust while exploiting that distrust himself.
• Predator versus prey: Xu Chuan allows stronger opponents to exhaust one another, then attacks at the decisive moment. The chapter repeatedly emphasizes surviving by identifying and exploiting weakness.
• Hidden strength and deception: Xu Chuan conceals the Corpse King, his refined Soul Gathering Banner, and other resources. Zhang Daoran is also suspected of possessing an undisclosed trump card.
• Power through consumption: Ghosts devour Lu Jin, the Corpse King consumes Yin Feng’s Nascent Soul, and magical foundations are treated as resources to be annexed. Strength is gained through plunder and refinement.
• Pragmatic alliance: Former enemies cooperate only because Qi Feng is too powerful to face individually. The alliance rests on necessity rather than loyalty.
• The danger of overconfidence: Qi Feng dominates the battlefield, but his certainty that Xu Chuan is merely a resource-bearing Golden Core cultivator may become a liability.
