• Tang Dongfeng led Zi Yan and Queen Medusa into the void passage, where they were separated from Glacier Valley’s people and Elder Feng’s group.

• Tang Dongfeng carried Zi Yan and Queen Medusa east through the clearer sky, but the mist returned after about fifteen minutes.
• Tang Dongfeng gave Zi Yan a medicinal pill to calm her, and Queen Medusa questioned whether Zi Yan always became obedient after eating pills.

Tang Dongfeng, Queen Medusa, and Zi Yan crossed a strange grassland and discovered they had been walking around the surface of a sphere. After Tang Dongfeng explained how to escape, he carried both women upward to leave it.

• Queen Medusa wondered whether Zi Yan could safely consume so many pills, and Tang Dongfeng explained that her magical-beast body could withstand them.
• Tang Dongfeng noticed the terrain changing, and the group continued through the grassland until they reached a cliff.

• Tang Dongfeng took Queen Medusa and Zi Yan by the hands and flew upward on his azure flame wings to escape the sphere.

Tang Dongfeng, Queen Medusa, and Zi Yan escaped a world trapped inside a painting by destroying it, then found and took a scroll labeled “Mid-tier Heavenly Dou Technique, Ink Painting World.” Its removal released more than a thousand people from the paintings, and Tang Zhen suspected someone had broken the formation.

• Tang Dongfeng realized that he, Queen Medusa, and Zi Yan had been circling a sphere instead of flying upward, so he carried them at full speed toward the edge of the painted world.
• When the three reached the boundary and were thrown back, Tang Dongfeng sent three Water Element Clones crashing into the sphere while he and the women sheltered behind a Flame Shield.
• The clones destroyed the painted world, returning Tang Dongfeng, Queen Medusa, and Zi Yan to an ancient palace where hundreds of paintings hung.
• Tang Dongfeng took the scroll labeled “Mid-tier Heavenly Dou Technique, Ink Painting World” from a platform, triggering red light from the surrounding paintings.

• Elder Lei and Elder Jian realized that something had been taken from the formation's platform, while Elder Feng diverted attention from Tang Dongfeng by leading Starfall Pavilion disciples away to search for treasure.
• Tang Dongfeng, Zi Yan, and Queen Medusa flew through the ruins, where Zi Yan spotted more treasure and Queen Medusa asked what Tang Dongfeng had taken from the platform.
• Tang Dongfeng revealed that he had obtained a Heavenly Tier Dou Technique, and Zi Yan asked to be rewarded with a bottle of Sixth-grade Pills for finding another treasure.

• Tang Dongfeng summoned the Sea God Trident and Sea God Armor, entered the hall to face the puppets, and used Yellow Springs Corpse Body as his aura surged toward the eight-star Dou Zun realm.

Tang Dongfeng, Queen Medusa, and Zi Yan passed the Dou Zun puppets and found a pool of energy-rich white liquid in the inner hall. When Tang Dongfeng tried to collect it, a mysterious girl emerged from the pool, revealed her knowledge of Zi Yan, and confronted the three intruders.

• Tang Dongfeng used the Yellow Springs Corpse Body and his trident to weaken the ten Dou Zun puppets, allowing Queen Medusa and Zi Yan to pass through the hall.
• The three entered the inner hall and discovered a vast pool of white liquid that Zi Yan believed was the treasure she had sensed.

• After flying for about half an hour, Tang Dongfeng explained Bao'er's strength and led the others to search the ruins for Cloud Mist Demon Saint's remaining treasures while Bao'er watched them.

• Zi Yan pointed out a cauldron whose aura felt especially comfortable to her.

Tang Dongfeng and his companions left the Dou Sheng Ruins with the Dragon Soul Cauldron and other treasures, only to be intercepted by Huang Xuan of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan. Huang Xuan demanded the treasures and ordered Tang Dongfeng to come with him, and Tang Dongfeng prepared to fight after sending Zi Yan and Queen Medusa into his storage ring.

• Tang Dongfeng absorbed much of Huang Xuan's blood essence with the Sea God Trident, but Jiufeng suddenly appeared and blasted Tang and the trident away.

• Jiufeng transformed into his Demon Phoenix Sacred Body and unleashed a sky-filling rain of golden Ling Yu at Tang Dongfeng.
• Tang Dongfeng cursed as he saw that Jiufeng’s feathers were far stronger than those of the other Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan members.

Tang Dongfeng killed Jiufeng by drawing their souls into the Life-and-Death Arena and defeating him with a Nuclear Fission Ball, though the battle left Tang Dongfeng badly injured.
