After Ziyang and his companions escaped with the immortal herbs, the Tang Sect blamed the arriving Clear Sky Sect and the two sides fought at the Ice Fire Yin Yang Eyes.

• Ziyang summoned seven golden crosses and used spatial power to press all seven Shrek students against them before declaring the match over.

After defeating the Shrek students again, Ziyang decided to search for Devil Island in North Sea, accompanied by Gu Yue and Na'er. When the Black-Rank Mecha lacked the energy to reach the island, Ziyang summoned Austin Griffin and set off toward the strongest trace of Destruction.

• Ziyang defeated the seven Shrek students with Gu Yue and Na'er, then said he planned to search for Devil Island in North Sea.

• Ziyang, Gu Yue, and Na'er flew north in the Black-Rank Mecha and reached the North Sea coast, where Gu Yue found the mecha lacked enough Soul Power to reach Devil Island.
• Ziyang summoned Austin Griffin, whose central head sensed Destruction, and directed it to fly toward the strongest aura.

Ziyang, Gu Yue, Na'er, and Austin Griffin crossed Devil Island, where Destruction Energy left the two girls struggling but fed Austin Griffin. They reached a secluded valley watched by seven mysterious people, while Austin Griffin continued feasting as they approached.

• Ziyang, Gu Yue, and Na'er landed on Devil Island and discovered that the island had no natural elemental energy.
• Austin Griffin devoured the Destruction Energy-filled trees without harm, and Ziyang told it to lead them inland.
• The group crossed the black forest and found a lush valley where seven gray-robed people sensed their arrival.

• As the group approached, Gu Yue and Na'er felt the dense Destruction Energy weigh on them, while Ziyang absorbed it and Austin Griffin ate it.
• Ziyang warned Austin Griffin not to eat too much because a fight lay ahead, but Austin Griffin kept chewing.

Ziyang, Gu Yue, and Na'er reached Devil Island’s lush interior, where Austin Griffin greedily absorbed Destruction Energy from a purple pillar. They met Annihilation Old Demon, and Ziyang attacked him twice, but the old demon regenerated each time and remained intrigued by Ziyang’s spatial power.

• Ziyang shattered the space around Annihilation Old Demon into fragments, but the demon regenerated again and praised Ziyang’s technique.

• The Desire Demon attacked Ziyang, Gu Yue, and Na'er with pink mist, but Ziyang cut her apart and sealed her fragments in separate spatial cages.
• Annihilation Old Demon demanded that Ziyang return Lust and threatened Austin Griffin, but Austin Griffin swallowed him and his cane.
• Five more old demons appeared and confronted Ziyang, who shattered the space around them before they could attack.
• Austin Griffin continued absorbing Destruction Energy, and the Life Tide suddenly erupted.

During the Life Tide, Ziyang used spatial and temporal powers to force the remnant souls of the Life Goddess and the God King of Destruction to collide. Their powers fused into the Power of Creation, tearing open the clouds above Devil Island.

• The Life Tide flooded Devil Island, and Ziyang’s throne absorbed life energy and released stronger Soul Power as Gu Yue and Na'er absorbed the surge.

• The figures collided in one timeline, fused into pink Power of Creation, and tore a huge hole through the clouds as Ziyang was pushed back by the shockwave.

Ziyang fought a silver-violet-haired girl who wielded Creation Power and shared his powers in opposing form. He summoned Austin Griffin as armor and a sword for their second round, while their battle erased the consciousness of Tang Hao.

• Ziyang and the girl clashed with opposing Laws of Space, repeatedly creating and restoring the landscape as Gu Yue and Na'er watched from the valley's edge.

• The laws around Devil Island healed and the sea calmed, while Ziyang gained another Soul Ring and began seeing the world as threads of law.
• Na'er steadied Ziyang, and he told her and Gu Yue that he was stronger but still too weak to travel across all dimensions.

Ziyang destroyed the source of Destruction on Devil Island, helped Gu Yue and Na'er become Soul Emperors, and returned with them to Shrek City. Tang Hao was caught in the laws unleashed during the battle and fell into an endless slumber.

• Ziyang dismissed Gu Yue and Na'er's concerns about his strength as he left the valley with Austin Griffin.

At Spirit Pagoda Headquarters, Ziyang demonstrated how his powers overwhelmed Gu Yue’s spatial and elemental attacks, then showed her a domain where he could rewrite the laws of reality.

• Ziyang heard the Golden Tree Spirit call for help, then used his second Soul Ring to remove its origin, Life Core identity, and consciousness and send them to Life Lake.
