• Ning Chen overwhelmed the White Tiger with the Green Cauldron and threatened it with Immortal Slaying until it submitted; he gave it two hours to heal before ordering it to follow him.

• Ning Chen broke through the stone gate and let the White Tiger battle the King Realm green-furred corpse, stepping in with Inverted Water Moon and the Green Cauldron when the tiger could no longer hold on.

• White Tiger carried Ning Chen upward until the extreme height slowed him, while Ning Chen watched the chains and feared they might not reach their destination.

Ning Chen found the Qihuang Clan’s cloud realm, received its Arts of Qihuang inheritance, and mastered the Heaven Talisman. He returned to the Central Continent as the war in the Primeval Demonic Realm intensified, with the Devil Race’s princes driving back the opposing forces.

• Ning Chen climbed the heaven-reaching chains to the clouds, where the Qihuang Grand Elder revealed the Qihuang Clan’s human origins and taught him the Arts of Qihuang.

He arrived at camp and found Xuanmie unconscious, while the demons accompanying him claimed they could advance to the Fourth Realm by devouring Xuanmie’s power.

After the heavenly tribulation, Ning Chen was sent from the camp under Xuan Zhen’s plan to have Xuan Luo kill him, but Ning Chen revealed he had been feigning unconsciousness and fought back. Xuan Luo failed to kill him and proposed cooperation, leaving their enmity temporarily unresolved.

After meeting Xuan Jiuyou and returning to his manor, he learned the Witch Clan had brought its full force to the northern battlefield, led by the Twelve Witch Queens.

• On the northern battlefield, Xuan Kong saw the Witch Clan's army advancing with all Twelve Witch Queens and recognized the danger.

• Ning Chen summoned a Sky Dragon with the Qihuang Secret Art, but the inscriptions collapsed and the resulting shockwave sent the white tiger crashing into an artificial mountain as it shielded Little Gourd and Shi Qing.
• Ning Chen explained to Little Gourd that the Qihuang Secret Art borrowed power from heaven and earth and differed from immortal arts.
• Ning Chen asked Shi Qing whether she and Shi Yu had arranged their future, prompting Shi Qing to seek an explanation from her sister.
• Shi Yu concealed her distress from Shi Qing and wondered whether Ning Chen wanted them to leave so they would not be caught up in danger.
• After studying the Qihuang Secret Art for several days, Ning Chen concluded that its unstable power was too dangerous to use in battle until he mastered it.
• Shi Yu gave Ning Chen new clothes and told him she would take her family away from the Three Imperial Cities to live in seclusion; Ning Chen wished her and Shi Qing a peaceful future, and Shi Yu wept.

Ning Chen bid farewell to Shi Yu and Shi Qing, then pushed himself to master the Qihuang arts before proposing a strategy against the allied imperial clans to the Demonic Emperors. Granted permission to go north with an imperial decree and an assigned escort, he left Xuan Qing confined and told Xuan Que to take charge of the imperial city.

• Ning Chen watched Shi Yu and Shi Qing depart, then shut himself away from the world and trained until the Qihuang arts destroyed his great hall.

• Ning Chen reached the northern battlefield, where the Witch Clan army had driven the Heavenly Demons back, and volunteered to fight the Twelve Witch Queens.

• A White-robed Witch Queen rushed in and struck at Ning Chen, but Gandharva entered the battlefield and met her palm strike.

Ning Chen and the Heavenly Demon forces won their first battle against the Witch Clan after Gandharva’s poison helped him grievously wound Witch Queen Feiyu. Five days later, as Prince Xuanqi faced the Stone Clan’s foremost Saint Guardian, the Heavenly Demon Legion known as the Dragon appeared in the stormy sky.

• Ning Chen fought Witch Queen Feiyu while Gandharva and Prince Xuankong held back the Witch Queens who tried to intervene.

• Five days later, Prince Xuanqi faced the Stone Clan’s fourth Saint Guardian, and the Dragon appeared amid dark clouds and lightning.

The Heavenly Demon army attacked the Stone Clan in the southeast, where Xuanqi fought Yinxiao and the Dragon of the Eight Legions routed the Stone Clan’s defenders. In the north, Ning Chen waited for news, considering what the two Demon Emperors’ choice of battlefield would reveal about their plans and the Eight Legions.

• The Dragon of the Eight Legions appeared over the southeast battlefield, and Xuanqi challenged Yinxiao while the Dragon advanced on the Stone Clan army.

• Xuanqi found a flaw in Yinxiao’s stone defense and pierced his chest with the Heart-Burning Demonic Sword, while the Stone Clan army suffered devastating losses.
• In the north, Ning Chen waited with Gandharva and considered how the Demon Emperors’ decision to target the Stone Clan or Scale Clan would affect their position and confirm his suspicions.

• Seven Luminaries Demonic Emperor told Ning Chen that the Stone Clan had been routed and urged him to secure the outcome he wanted.
• Ning Chen dressed in his royal robe, took the Royal Staff, and approached the Witch Clan camp to request an audience with the Twelve Witch Queens.

• Ning Chen argued that the defeat freed Heavenly Demon forces to reinforce other battlefields and urged the Witch Queens to negotiate, invoking his gratitude to Gou Huang.

Ning Chen pressured the Witch Queens into considering peace as the Heavenly Demon Clan gained the upper hand, while Xuan Que sought Demonic Emperor Kunyi’s help to free Xuan Qing from confinement.
