Saint Xiao held on to Qu Wuliang as the Creation Sword Immortal confronted Ghost Bell Seed, leaving the struggle over the domain unresolved.

After Canluona wounded him, Yu Ci used his avatar’s accumulated analysis to strengthen his body and sent a rain of specialized sword radiances against the demon; Canluona then sensed another powerful force gathering around it.

After Yu Ci used the moonlight to reveal a path toward the Land of Eternal Damnation, he was nearly destroyed while saving Qu Wuliang from the Creation Sword Immortal, and a sword light entered his heart.

• As Yu Ci’s remaining spiritual light drifted through the void, a sword light entered his heart and cut through the abyss, the Heavenly Demon’s shackles, and his despair.

Qu Wujie's sword light settled the True World's upheaval, while Yu Ci and his allies brought Star Burial down and trapped Canluona's Primordial Power in the Dao Realm. The Rakshasa Ghost King remained cornered by Ye Bin as more powerful figures arrived, and the author then announced plans for follow-up stories about several characters.
