Background / History
Qiankun Ancestor survived the destruction of the Western Ancestral Vein at Mount Sumeru, though the explosion left his Qiankun dual qi unstable and his condition severely weakened 53.
After Luohou's Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation was broken, Qiankun Ancestor turned against both Luohou and Hongjun. Working with Yin-Yang Ancestor and Yang Mei, he attempted to eliminate the two injured survivors rather than allow either to remain a future threat 53.
He used the Qiankun Cauldron to envelop Luohou and Hongjun simultaneously, stating that either man's survival would be too troublesome 53. Hongjun's Three Corpses intervened before Qiankun Ancestor could finish the attack. Already weakened by the sword formation and the Western Ancestral Vein's explosion, he failed to withstand successive purple lightning strikes. His Dao body cracked apart and vanished, while the Qiankun Cauldron fell into the ruins 54.
