Arc 9The Abyssal Tide
Yin Hongye renovated the War God Temple’s trials, maneuvered against political rivals, and led the Blood God Legion through a devastating Abyssal invasion. The Abyss withdrew after Yin Hongye repeatedly survived its rulers’ attacks, while he and Qian Renxue returned to a meeting with Dong Zi'an.
- Yin Hongye renovated the Eighteen Layers of Hell, displayed his forging skill, and challenged the Federation’s leaders over their plans for Dou Ling.
- Jing Hongchen deposed Xu Tianran after learning how the emperor would have ruined his family, while Yin Hongye sealed away the disappointing Ice God's Heart and planned a disguised prison route.
- Yin Hongye brought Di Qiuer, Na'er, Yuanen Yehui, and Qian Renxue to the Blood God Legion, where he and the others entered the Abyss Passage and faced the opening of an abyss tide.
- Yin Hongye used his Blood Sea to devastate the Abyssal assault, killed the Scythe Emperor, and helped force the Abyssal army to retreat after the fifth layer collapsed.
- The Abyssal Sage King dragged Yin Hongye into the Abyss and killed him with the Heavenly Saint Rift-Abyss Halberd, but Yin Hongye reassembled and returned to fight.
- Yin Hongye detonated his Soul Rings and body in the Abyss, then returned to stop nine Evil Soul Masters from destroying the Blood God Formation before charging back into the passage.
- Yin Hongye fought the Abyssal Sage King as the Abyssal war spread across the world, while Di Tian killed the Charm Emperor and Di Qiuer and Na'er consumed its escaping abyss seed.
- The Abyssal forces withdrew, and Zhang Huanyun ordered the legion to count casualties and reinforce the seal as Yin Hongye and Qian Renxue returned to a meeting with Dong Zi'an.
