After meditating for three days, Ye Lin returned with Li Xiaoyao and Bao Xiaotou to the Profound Origin Scorpion Clan's Ancestral Land, where the Heaven-Devouring Demon Jar warned him that the Golden Immortal who had tried to recruit him wanted to use him as expendable cannon fodder.

• Brother Wang said the crisis was difficult to resolve because Ye Lin had already destroyed the Profound Origin Scorpion Clan.

• A young man proposed assassinating Ye Lin, but the clan leader's son mocked the idea because Ye Lin had powerful protectors and the Asura Clan's subordinate factions had defected to him.

• After he left, Brother Wang cursed the clan leader's son for planning to flee without telling them, and the others acknowledged they had known the news but had not spoken up.

Yu Lixin doubted the Asura Clan’s secret escape plans and decided to leave rather than remain with a clan willing to sacrifice its own members. As armies gathered for war against Ye Lin, the Asura Clan’s leaders secretly began to flee, leaving their defenders behind as a public show of resistance.

• Ye Lin watched from his warship without intervening as fighters fell and the Heavenly Demons fought with desperate intensity.
• The Heavenly Demons treated the battle as their final slaughter, since Forbidden Void would have to remain within the Northern Demon Domain afterward.
• The chapter laid out two possible paths for Forbidden Void to expand further: the old man's recovery to full strength, or Ye Lin and Dugu Feng becoming renowned contenders on the Emperor Road.

Ye Lin searched the battlefield and a black mountain for someone suppressing the Asura Clan's fortune, but found no powerful guardian or target. With his vengeance complete and the Asura Clan's valuables already gone, he began planning whom to take when he ventured beyond the domain.

• Ye Lin crossed the battlefield looking for someone carrying immense fortune, then spotted a vast black mountain crowned by a blood-red building.
• Mo Ruyu and the others appeared ahead of Ye Lin, wary that an ancient monster might be guarding the mountain after their encounter with the Profound Origin Scorpion Clan.

• Ye Lin spread his divine sense across the mountain and found no one suppressing fortune.
• Ye Lin decided there was no reason to remain after avenging himself and began considering whom to bring beyond the domain.

Ye Lin finalized seven people to bring with him and reflected on how his long life and relentless progress had left him free of ties but lonely. He remained unable to locate his old companions or even determine where the Xuanhuang Great World lay in the vast Demon Domain.

• Ye Lin selected Dugu Feng, Poison Venerable, Li Xiaoyao, Bao Xiaotou, Wang Tian, Shangguan Wanyu, and Luo Yao as his candidates.

• Ye Lin admitted that he did not know where the Xuanhuang Great World was in the Demon Domain and believed his parents might have reincarnated many times.
