• Hongjun visited Li Yi on Penglai Island, recognized his Demon God origins, and began asking him for a favor.

• Luohou called out Li Yi and declared that he would face his death tribulation.

Li Yi withstood Luohou’s Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation inside his defensive lotus platform, then trapped the Demon Ancestor in his own Twenty-Four Star Lodge Killing Formation. With Luohou occupied, Li Yi prepared to break the sword formation while its master could not guard it.

• Li Yi studied the Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation and realized all four demon swords had to be removed at once to break it.
• Luohou recognized Li Yi as the thief who had stolen a third of his Blood Fiend Qi and rushed toward him, while Hongjun set out for the four Array Eyes.

Li Yi took the Immortal-Slaying Sword from the formation, leaving Hongjun’s Kind Corpse baffled and Luohou desperate to escape the Twenty-Four Star Lodge Killing Formation. Luohou then attacked Yin-Yang Daoist, whose confidence in the Taiji Diagram led him to challenge the Demon Ancestor.

• Li Yi used the Cosmos Cauldron to suppress and take the Immortal-Slaying Sword, then left for the southern formation eye.
• Hongjun’s Kind Corpse arrived at the eastern eye and found the sword missing, while Luohou lost his connection to it inside the Twenty-Four Star Lodge Killing Formation.
• The formation dissolved when its Star Bead flew back to the Array Diagram, and Luohou headed west to attack Yin-Yang Daoist.
• Luohou shattered Yin-Yang Daoist’s Dao Seal and pierced the Plain-Colored Cloud-Realm Flag with the God-Slaying Spear, breaking the Innate Five Direction Formation.
• Luohou claimed Qiankun had fought him to a standstill, and Yin-Yang Daoist took heart and declared that he would eliminate the Demon Ancestor.

Luohou shattered the Yin-Yang Daoist’s World-Grinding Disc and pursued him through the formation. Hongjun’s Evil Corpse pretended to help the Yin-Yang Daoist, then struck him toward Luohou and fled for an Array Eye, leaving the two enemies face-to-face as another figure rushed toward the commotion.

• The Yin-Yang Daoist attacked Luohou with his World-Grinding Wheel, but Luohou broke the millstone with one strike and gravely wounded him.
• The Yin-Yang Daoist fled beneath the Taiji Diagram, and Luohou pursued him after realizing the Immortal-Exterminating Sword had also been taken.
• The Yin-Yang Daoist called to Hongjun’s Evil Corpse for help, while Luohou recognized it as one of Hongjun’s refined incarnations and accused Hongjun of using the Daoists as bait.
• Hongjun’s Evil Corpse pretended to defend the Yin-Yang Daoist, then struck him and sent him flying toward Luohou before fleeing toward an Array Eye.
• Luohou laughed at Hongjun’s trick, the Yin-Yang Daoist cried out in hatred, and a streak of green light flew toward them from the Immortal-Trapping Sword’s Array Eye.

Li Yi trapped Luohou in the Twenty-Four Star Lodge Killing Formation after Yin-Yang Daoist died and left him his treasures. As Hongjun took down the final sword, Luohou prepared to blow himself up, leaving Hongjun stunned as a cataclysmic wave of energy erupted.

• Luohou killed the dying Yin-Yang Daoist, who blamed Hongjun and entrusted his treasures and a request for revenge to Li Yi before dispersing his Primordial Spirit.

• Hongjun removed the Immortal-Ending Sword and lamented that he had not claimed credit for all four swords.
• Luohou said he would blow himself up rather than submit to Li Yi, and Hongjun heard him just before a cataclysmic wave of energy erupted.

After Luohou detonated the Western Spiritual Veins, Li Yi survived the blast, gathered his treasures, and claimed the greatest share of Heavenly Dao Merit. He returned to Penglai Island to cultivate, while Hongjun searched in vain for the Taiji Diagram and the National Destiny Trial rankings began to be tallied on Blue Star.

• Luohou detonated himself and the Western Spiritual Veins, but Li Yi protected himself with the Pure World White Lotus and collected Luohou’s treasures with the Cosmos Cauldron.
• Li Yi received far more Heavenly Dao Merit than the other survivors, then told Hongjun and Yang Mei that Yin-Yang Daoist’s body had fallen into a Void Rift.
