• Chang Quan confronted the Dragon Demon Ancestor, and their battle was about to begin.

Chang Quan and the Dragon Demon Ancestor fought as the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains’ formation empowered the demon, while Xu Wu continued pursuing the Heaven Treading Immortal Steed. After the Tiger Lord and the Demon Ape King left the Underground Cave, a concealed human tested whether their departure was genuine and drove the defenders from the city walls.

• Chang Quan defeated the Dragon Demon Ancestor’s first attack, and the Tiger Lord and Demon Ape King left to follow their plan as the demons prepared their defenses.

Gu Yuanqing fought Shadow, whose mysterious Black Qi let him evade ordinary attacks, and used Great Five Elements Divine Thunder to damage him. After examining the Black Qi, Gu Yuanqing entered the Underground Demon Realm, where he sensed North Spring Mountain somewhere in its depths.

• Shadow challenged Gu Yuanqing and claimed that Gu Yuanqing could not harm him, then repeatedly evaded Formless Calamity Finger and escaped its Grand Formation.
• Gu Yuanqing used Five Elements Divine Thunder to deduce that Shadow's Divine Soul could not fully control his power and lured him toward the Underground Cave entrance.

• Gu Yuanqing examined the Black Qi and found it far purer and heavier than ordinary True Essence, while his Avatar discovered that it passed through matter and resisted control.
• Gu Yuanqing's Avatar entered the Underground Demon Realm as the Devil Beasts retreated, then sensed North Spring Mountain in the distant depths of the realm.

Gu Yuanqing discovered that North Spring Mountain overlapped the Dragon Demon Realm and the Underground Demon Realm, then returned from the Underground Cave and continued refining Black Qi. Meanwhile, Xu Wu chased the Heaven Treading Immortal Steed across the Dragon Demon Realm, and the exhausted creature raced toward North Spring Mountain for refuge.

• Gu Yuanqing realized North Spring Mountain had fallen into the Underground Demon Realm and found that its space resonated almost identically with the Dragon Demon Realm.

• Xu Wu warned Gu Yuanqing that killing him would bring the God King’s wrath, then threatened to destroy the realm alongside himself.

Gu Yuanqing used North Spring Mountain’s full power to kill Xu Wu and the three cultivators who tried to flee, then struck at the tower ship. The ship survived after its barrier absorbed his attack, leaving Ao Jie’s forces battered and retreating.

• Xu Wu burned his essence blood, divine soul, and Dao principle imprint to power his great seal, while Chi Boyong and Wei Shangfeng warned Chang Quan that a Chaos Heaven Great Cultivator was nearby.
• The Dragon Demon Ancestor delayed Chi Boyong, Wei Shangfeng, and Chang Quan long enough to toss out a jade token as they withdrew.
• Gu Yuanqing manifested North Spring Mountain’s full form and killed Xu Wu with a spectral palm and the Demon Subduing Sword, then drew in Xu Wu’s collapsing Heavenly Human World.
• Gu Yuanqing used the jade token’s coordinates to reach the boundary domain and kill the three fleeing cultivators, destroying their Heavenly Human Worlds with Great Five Elements Divine Thunder.
• Gu Yuanqing struck the tower ship at Demonic Dragon Mountain, shattering its protective barrier before the jade token’s divine sense was exhausted and his attack dissipated.

Gu Yuanqing defeated Xu Wu and helped the Dragon Demon Ancestor capture Demon God Mountain’s forces, then turned his attention to the Heaven Treading Immortal Steed. After sending the boastful, underage beast into the Heaven and Earth Pool, he was approached by Li Chengyi, who asked why North Spring Mountain had shaken.

• Gu Yuanqing released the restriction, and Li Chengyi flew over to ask what had caused North Spring Mountain to shake.

At the North Suppressing Divine King's Mansion, the North Suppressing Divine King resurrected Xu Wu from his stored Essence Blood and Divine Soul and tried to trace the death of Xu Wu's original body. His search reached Gu Yuanqing on North Spring Mountain, where Gu Yuanqing recognized that the watcher came from Demon God Mountain.

• The North Suppressing Divine King ordered Xu Wu’s body buried and his memorial tablet placed in the Heroes’ Shrine.
• Gu Yuanqing’s attempt to search the surviving Yin-Yang realm cultivator’s soul failed when the man’s divine soul collapsed under Demon God Mountain’s imprint.

• Gu Yuanqing purified the Black Qi and resumed cultivation, wary of the power within the Underground Cave and the Heavenly Demon Sword Master’s avatar.
• Shadow retreated from the array platform and declared that he would never submit to the power addressing him as master.
