Hun Tianchen used the Soul Devouring Death Array to ravage Central Plains while the Tianfu Alliance gathered its forces to stop him. As the alliance prepared to confront him, Xiao Yan and the Alchemy Tower Old Ancestor concluded that Hun Tianchen was sacrificing all living beings to break through to Dou Saint.

• Hun Miesheng reported that the Tianfu Alliance had launched an all-out assault, but Hun Tianchen ordered the Hall of Souls to withdraw and surround the mountain while he waited for the alliance.
• The Soul Devouring Death Array’s bloody rays slaughtered countless people across Central Plains, forcing sects and factions to seek refuge near the Tianfu Alliance headquarters.

Hun Tianchen waited for the Soul Devouring Death Array to gather enough energy while Hun Yang and Saint Hun Qingsheng reported on the fighting around it. Inside a mysterious formation, Hun Tianchen appeared as Hun Tiandi faced him and launched an attack.

• Hun Yang returned wounded and reported that many Hun Clan Dou Saints had gathered nearby, while he and Saint Hun Qingsheng had driven back repeated attacks.
• Hun Tianchen said the array still needed energy from the remaining third of the Central Plains, ordered the Hall of Souls forces to withdraw, and declared that he would guard the mountain himself.

Hun Tiandi unleashed increasingly powerful attacks against the Luck Force-powered grand formation, forcing its defenders to prepare for a decisive clash. He then invoked the Hun Clan’s Myriad Souls Blood Sacrifice and formed the Emperor-Slaying Ghost Blood Blade, intent on breaking the formation and advancing to Dou Di.

Hun Tiandi unleashed the Emperor-Slaying Ghost Blood Blade and shattered the great formation, gravely wounding the Hun Clan experts and apparently slashing down Hun Tianchen. Hun Tiandi then realized the white-robed man was only Hun Tianchen’s avatar, and froze as he recognized the method he had used to locate him.

• The white-robed man raised the great formation to its limit with the Hun Clan’s Luck Force as Hun Tiandi revealed the genuine Emperor-Slaying Ghost Blood Blade.

• The real Hun Tianchen contemplated the events as the demonic heart inside him slowly turned crimson.
