Fang Xing discovered the Myriad Manifestations Demon Child had trapped him in a formation with five Heaven-Turning Golden Corpses, but he disrupted it and crushed the demon child with his Immortal Martial Unified Great Handprint.

Fang Xing entered the cliff’s restrictions among the cultivators, where he spotted the rival leaders and predicted that Gu God Child would suffer a Blood Calamity.

Fang Xing watched the first Divine Infant Fruit fall and saw Carefree Marquis seize it before fleeing under pursuit. When the next fruit ripened, Fang Xing’s true body revealed his overwhelming strength, killed Mu Qinglan, took the Burnt Tail Zither, and escaped through a passage, leaving the cultivators afraid to stop him.

He settled into Mu Wanlong’s cave mansion and began refining the Spiritual Treasure, while the Mu Family accepted his staged retreat and appointed Mu Wanlu acting patriarch.

• Fang Xing ambushed Mu Wanlong, searched his soul for the Burnt Tail Zither’s refinement incantation, and left him barely alive in the Five Chaos Demons’ custody.

• Xu Sanyang described Evil God Mechas, which used Evil God bodies as materials and could regenerate, but risked contaminating and fusing with their pilots.
• Fang Xing considered the risks and realized that his own resistance to Evil God contamination might make an Evil God Mecha viable for him.
