Arc 169The Fourth Demon Well
Qin Hao and Eugene tried to stop Great Demon King Kuang Yue and the other Great Demon Kings from completing a fourth demon well in Deathtrap Valley. With the altar nearing completion and the defenders spending their own essence to speed its construction, Qin Hao prepared a new plan while Yun Chen and Hengyuan fought to carry the warning to the Heavenly Palace.
- Qin Hao killed Bloodflame Demon King, Tie'ao, and Hanli, then joined Profound Venerable Yun Chen and Divine Lord Hengyuan as they investigated Deathtrap Valley and discovered the demons' fourth well.
- Qin Hao sent Yun Chen and Hengyuan to seek reinforcements while he and Eugene attacked the demons, killing Han Ming and Shadow Fox and disrupting the workers, but they escaped the other Great Demon Kings through Mirror Lake Grotto-Heaven.
- Kuang Yue sent Thunder Rhino and other Demon Kings after Yun Chen and Hengyuan, who split up to try to deliver their warning to the Heavenly Palace.
- Qin Hao and Eugene made repeated attacks on the sacrificial altar, but Kuang Yue's defenses stopped Qin Hao from damaging it, so Qin Hao killed the remaining True God and Ancestral God demon workers instead.
- Qin Hao resolved to reconstruct the Origin World and stop the fourth demon well, while Kuang Yue used his origin demonic essence to create demon shadows and urged the other Great Demon Kings to do the same.
- As the altar neared completion, Qin Hao refused Blood Crow Captain's advice to abandon the cosmic plane and began planning an attack that would exploit Huyan's weakened state and the abyss.
