• The Blood Moon Demon God discovered he had killed Ling Xiao's clone and pursued the real Ling Xiao through countless worlds.
• Ling Xiao fled across an invisible sea and a mist-shrouded abyss before reaching a desolate land where the twin suns had dimmed.

• Ling Xiao chose to enter the Mythic Battlefield and received the Spirit-Summoning Demon-Calling Heaven-Defying Art.
• Ling Xiao learned the art could perfect his Dao heart by awakening his inner demon, but it risked the demon seizing his body.

Ling Xiao cultivated the Spirit-Summoning Demon-Calling Heaven-Defying Art, which awakened a growing heart demon that he could not stop. After releasing the Snow Heaven Clan and the others from his dantian universe, he told them to follow him to the Mythic Battlefield instead of returning home, since the Blood Moon Demon God was still searching for him.

• Ling Xiao sensed the city’s formation as he landed on the wall, where guards mocked him and the Snow Heaven Clan members accompanying him.

• Ling Xiao demanded that the palanquin’s occupant come out and reached to drag them free, prompting the golden-armored woman to roar at him for disrespecting her lord.

Ling Xiao entered the Mythic Battlefield’s ancient city and learned how its heavenly stele recorded merit for killing evil spirits. Seeing the enormous score needed just to reach the top hundred thousand, he decided to pursue a high ranking to draw the attention of Di Jun, Tai Yi, and the Origin-Devouring Beast.

• True Lord Ruyi prepared to strike Ling Xiao, but the figure in the golden sedan chair stopped her and ordered the procession to enter the city.
• Ling Xiao entered the city with Tianxue Yaoyue and followed her directions to the City Lord's Manor, where they found a heavenly stele recording merit rankings.
• Tianxue Yaoyue explained that merit came from killing evil spirits, that stronger enemies yielded more points, and that accumulated evil aura could attract stronger foes.
• Ling Xiao learned that merit could earn recognition from the True Realm's higher-ups and could be exchanged for benefits, then considered using a high ranking to attract his friends and enemies.
• Ling Xiao found the Master of Ten Thousand Swords ranked ninety-nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-eighth with more than five million merit points, and wondered how much the top ten required.

• Ling Xiao blew back the evil spirit’s soul, seized its spear form, refined it into soul energy, and absorbed it.
• Ling Xiao sensed his demonic nature strengthening and decided to nourish it further.

Ling Xiao defeated a second-turn Half-Step Great Dao evil spirit, gained merit points, and pressed Uncle Boya to prove his worth by finding a hidden treasure. Uncle Boya opened a passage to vast ruins beneath the swamp, and the two entered as the disturbance drew attention from afar.

• Ling Xiao refined the evil spirit's soul power, strengthening his divine soul and the inner demon he was deliberately nurturing.
