• Zhurong, Gong Gong, and Qiang Liang continued attacking Taiyi, but the Chaos Bell protected him from their water, fire, and lightning.

Di Jun used the Myriad Stars Great Formation to declare war on the Witch Clan and helped Taiyi gather the Demon Race into the Chaos Bell. Hong Yun rallied the Ancestral Shamans to stop the land itself from being taken, and Dijiang struck the bell, sending it crashing into Jieyin’s golden lotus.

• Taiyi fought Zhurong, Gong Gong, and Qiang Liang with the Chaos Bell until Di Jun completed the Myriad Stars Great Formation and announced the Demon Race’s war against the Witch Clan.
• Di Jun’s attack sent the three Ancestral Shamans flying toward Mount Sumeru, where Jieyin’s golden lotus caught them.

• Dijiang activated the Great Heavenly God-Demon Array and punched the Chaos Bell, sending it into Jieyin’s Twelve-grade Merit Golden Lotus.

Taiyi escaped the three Ancestral Shamans by using the Chaos Bell to break into Mount Sumeru, where Jieyin stopped the attack and protected the Western Boundary. Hong Yun, Di Jun, and the Ancestral Shamans became convinced that Zhun Ti had instigated the Witch-Demon War and began looking for a way to expose him.

• Jieyin used the Golden Lotus of Merit and the Jieyin Treasure Banner to stop Taiyi’s Chaos Bell from damaging Mount Sumeru.
• Taiyi fled through a spatial rift, and the three Ancestral Shamans chased after him while Zhun Ti stayed hidden in the Eastern Boundary.
• Jieyin remained at Mount Sumeru to guard the Western Boundary and repair the damage to its leylines.
• Gong Gong, Zhurong, and Qiang Liang returned to the East, where Hong Yun and the others took Zhun Ti’s continued absence as evidence that he had instigated the conflict.
• Hong Yun searched the Primordial Wilderness for Zhun Ti but wondered whether he might be hiding on Kunlun Mountain.

As the Witch-Demon battle raged, Hong Yun and Nu Wa searched for Zhun Ti but found that the Three Pure Ones’ use of the Pangu Banner was disrupting the Heavenly secrets. Hong Yun gathered the Five Directions Banners to form a vast net over the Eastern World, while Tong Tian’s Immortal Slaying Sword Formation shielded Kunlun Mountain, leaving Zhun Ti stunned by Hong Yun’s move.

• Hong Yun decided to find Zhun Ti and asked Nu Wa to help, but she could not locate him amid the disrupted Heavenly secrets and detected traces of the Pangu Banner.
• Hong Yun summoned the Five Directions Banners from San Xiao, and Tong Tian sensed their movement before concealing the traces and telling San Xiao to focus on cultivation.
• Hong Yun positioned the five banners across the world and formed the Five Directions Five Elements Great Formation, enclosing the Eastern World and Kunlun Mountain in a net of Five Elements energy.
• Yuan Shi prepared to use the Pangu Banner against the formation, but Tong Tian raised the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation around Kunlun Mountain and forced Hong Yun’s banners away.
• Zhun Ti watched the Witch-Demon conflict and was stunned by Hong Yun’s move.

Hong Yun and Nu Wa used formations, the Mountain River Society Map, and the Red Embroidered Ball to search for Zhun Ti as he tried to escape. Nu Wa then struck the void with the Qiankun Cauldron, shaking the formations and leaving the balance between the Witch and Demon forces unstable.

• Zhun Ti tried to reassure himself that Yuan Shi's concealment of heavenly secrets would keep Hong Yun from finding him.
• Nu Wa spread the Mountain River Society Map over the Eastern Boundary and sealed it with the Innate Five Directions Five Elements Great Formation.

• Nu Wa arrived beside Hong Yun carrying the Creation Qiankun Cauldron, and Hong Yun said they would trap Zhun Ti inside the formation.
• Nu Wa repeatedly struck the void with the Qiankun Cauldron, shaking the formations and destabilizing the balance between the Witch and Demon formations.

Hong Yun’s search across the Primordial Wilderness exposed Zhun Ti when he brushed aside the causal threads hiding him. Nu Wa attacked with the Qiankun Cauldron, leaving Zhun Ti trapped in a stalemate as he protested that he was merely visiting the East.

• Di Jun and Taiyi strengthened the star formation to contain the collision with the Twelve Capital Celestial Evil Formation while searching for someone.
• Kua Fu and Hou Yi struggled to hold their positions in the formation, and Xing Tian mocked them for being chosen over him.

• Zhun Ti crept toward the Western Boundary, but sweeping away a causal thread drew countless others toward him and alerted Hong Yun.
• Nu Wa sent the Qiankun Cauldron after Zhun Ti, who revealed his full power and used the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree to hold it back.
• Zhun Ti called out to Nu Wa and claimed that his visit to the East did not justify her attack.

Hong Yun and Nu Wa confronted Zhun Ti, but when he tried to escape, Hong Yun used the unstable Witch and Demon formations to force him to face their combined attacks. Zhun Ti survived the strike but was badly injured, and Hong Yun’s Five Elements Great Formation kept the Primordial Wilderness from collapsing.

• Nu Wa hesitated when Zhun Ti denied responsibility, and Zhun Ti tried to break through the Five Elements Great Formation with the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree.
• Hong Yun distracted Zhun Ti by warning him about a hidden instigator as the Twelve Capital Celestial Evil Formation and Myriad Stars Great Formation surged toward him.
• Zhun Ti realized the formations were being directed at him and halted near the Western Boundary after Hong Yun warned that their attacks could damage its leyline.
• Zhun Ti used his Golden Body Dharma Appearance and the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree to meet the combined attacks, but several branches of the tree snapped and his Golden Body shattered.
• Hong Yun propped up the nearly destroyed land with the innate Five Elements Great Formation, while Zhun Ti spat out Saint’s blood and was left listless.

The Witch and Demon Races wounded Zhunti with their combined formations, but the Heavenly Dao rapidly restored his strength. Zhunti then attacked Hong Yun, who blocked him and accused him of provoking the conflict.

• The Twelve Ancestral Witches, Di Jun, and Taiyi severely wounded Zhunti with their combined formations, while Jieyin watched helplessly from the Western Boundary.

• Zhunti drew on the Heavenly Dao and recovered most of his strength as its power gathered around him.
• Zhunti declared that a Saint could not be humiliated and swung his damaged Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree at Hong Yun.
• Hong Yun blocked Zhunti's attack with the Primordial Sky Measuring Ruler and accused him of causing the earlier trouble, but Zhunti demanded proof.

Hong Yun and Zhun Ti fought while Tong Tian watched and Yuan Shi considered intervening before Taiqing Laozi stopped him. Zhun Ti then redirected an attack at the Witch Clan, breaking through Hong Yun’s formation as the Ancestral Shamans reacted.

• Zhun Ti’s attack broke through the Innate Five Directions Five Elements Great Formation, prompting Dijiang, Zhu Jiuyin, and Xuanming to denounce his sneak attack.

Hong Yun and the Witch and Demon Races fought back against Zhun Ti’s attacks, while Dao Ancestor Hongjun resolved to kill Hong Yun. The Twelve Capital Celestial Evil Formation summoned Pan Gu, who caught Hong Yun’s Primordial Sky Measuring Ruler and began stabilizing his body with its merit.

• Dijiang, Zhu Jiuyin, Xuanming, and the other Ancestral Shamans counterattacked Zhun Ti, shattering his seven-colored strike with the Twelve Capital Celestial Evil Formation.
• Dao Ancestor Hongjun sensed Hong Yun’s growing power and decided that Hong Yun must die.

• Hong Yun and the Ancestral Shamans launched a joint counterattack, with Hong Yun sending the Primordial Sky Measuring Ruler at Zhun Ti.
• The Twelve Capital Celestial Evil Formation gathered baleful energy into Pan Gu, who caught the ruler and used its Great Dao of Creation merit to stabilize his body.

Hong Yun merged with the fading Pangu True Body phantom and struck Zhun Ti with the Primordial Sky Measuring Ruler, even after Hongjun intervened to disrupt the formation. Hongjun then ordered the Heavenly Dao Saints to stabilize the trembling Primordial World, leaving Zhun Ti’s fate unclear.

• Hong Yun swung the Primordial Sky Measuring Ruler at Zhun Ti, who called for Hongjun to save him.
• Hongjun appeared and disrupted the Twelve Capital Celestial Evil Formation, weakening the Pangu True Body phantom.

• Hongjun steadied the Primordial World and ordered the Heavenly Dao Saints to protect it.
• The Three Pure Ones left Kunlun Mountain and joined Nu Wa in the four directions to suppress the world.

Hong Jun declared that Hong Yun must be executed for trying to kill Zhun Ti, then attacked him with a palm empowered by the Heavenly Dao. Hong Yun was trapped under the pressure as Hong Jun struck quickly, hoping to kill him before Pingxin could intervene.

• Hong Yun stood over the badly wounded Zhun Ti, whose injuries were hampering his ability to heal.

• Hong Jun attacked before Pingxin could gather the power of the Six Paths of Reincarnation, aiming to kill Hong Yun by surprise.

Pingxin intervened when Dao Ancestor Hong Jun tried to punish Hong Yun, forcing Hong Jun to settle for ten thousand years of Purple Heaven Divine Lightning. Hong Yun began enduring the punishment while Pingxin watched over him, and he secretly told Zhen Yuan Zi to begin their plan.

• The Twenty-four-grade Reincarnation Purple Lotus blocked Hong Jun’s attack on Hong Yun, and Pingxin appeared beside Hong Yun to challenge Hong Jun’s judgment.
• Pingxin demanded that Zhun Ti swear he had played no part in the battle, but Zhun Ti stayed silent.
• Hong Jun sentenced Hong Yun to endure the Purple Heaven Divine Lightning for ten thousand years, and Pingxin agreed while remaining beside him.
