As the Witch Clan army surrounded the Heavenly Demon Imperial City, the Seven Luminaries and Eight Desolations Demonic Emperors chose Xuan Que to inherit the Imperial Dao, channeling the royal Power of Fortune into him.

The emperors attacked the Heavenly Demon Clan as Seven Luminaries and Eight Desolations tried to guide the royal clan’s destiny into Xuan Que, while Xuan Jiuyou shielded the imperial city. The Scaly Emperor betrayed the Stone Emperor, and Xuan Que exploded before he could become the clan’s new emperor.

• Xuan Que’s body exploded amid the battle, ending the Heavenly Demon Royal Clan’s attempt to give him the throne.

Ning Chen infiltrated the Heavenly Demon Ancestral Land and used Immortal Trapper to break a seal while searching for the Phoenix Race’s secret arts.

Yin'er, Xia Ziyi, and the Moonlit Tower Master fought the Scale King while the Queen Mother's Hairpin gathered power, but Yin'er's old wounds forced Mu Chengxue to take her place. As Mu Chengxue prepared a final strike, Ning Chen freed the Phoenix Race's fortune in the Primeval Demonic Realm and began bringing it home.

• The Phoenix, Yin'er, Xia Ziyi, and the Moonlit Tower Master joined forces against the Scale King, who unleashed his ancestral scale-dragon form as the great sacrificial formation neared completion.

• Mu Chengxue rescued the unconscious Yin'er, took the Vermilion Sword, and joined Xia Ziyi and the Moonlit Tower Master in battle against the Scale King.
