• The revelation devastates Haitian City. The immortals and Little Demons lose hope, believing that no one can save them.
• The Snake Demon, however, interprets the situation completely differently. Rather than fearing Kunpeng’s demonic transformation, he celebrates it as the rise of a powerful champion for the Demon Tribe.
• He orders his forces to beat drums, raise banners, and cheer for the Great Sage. His faction publicly claims part of Haitian City and proclaims Kunpeng as their protector.
• The chapter ends with the Demon Tribe celebrating and banners displaying the title “Heaven-Shattering Firmament, Heaven-Turning Great Sage.”

Character Developments

• Guanyin and the other powerful immortals are shown to be genuinely alarmed and nearly helpless. Their inability to confront the Primordial Heavenly Demon establishes the extreme scale of the threat.

• The Demon Tribe’s marginalization: The chapter emphasizes that the Demon Tribe lacks a Saint-level protector and has long been overshadowed by humanity, Buddhism, and Daoism. Kunpeng’s rise may provide the banner and authority the tribe desperately needs.
• Perception and perspective: The same figure is viewed as an apocalyptic threat by Haitian’s defenders but as a savior and patron by the Snake Demon’s faction.

• Xi and Sui realized Kunpeng’s strength came from the Primordial Heavenly Demon and considered devouring him to increase their own power.
• The sea split as Xi rose to challenge Kunpeng, declaring that Kunpeng was barely better than an ant and ordering him to die.

• The Heavenly Dao denied sending the message and blamed Qin Fen for the confusion.
