An Abyssal army of eight million demons invaded the Main World, surrounding Blackwater City and dividing its forces to attack the Upper City, Lower City, and War King City. Huo Yi led the assault on War King City, where its defenders held behind a protective barrier and Wolf King drove back Huo Yi long enough to retreat inside.

• The Minotaur Demon ordered the demons to seal off the area while their sacrifice proceeded, and the Horned Demon divided the army into forces to surround the city and attack its districts.
