• Li Lingyun used a talisman and ritual to bring the Underworld’s power against Qi Yichen, whose soul was seized after he struck down two yin spirits.
• Qi Yichen’s incapacitation weakened Wind God Valley’s defenses, allowing the devils to break through and attack the Primordial Divine Sect’s defensive lines from within and without.
• Ning Xuxuan refused Mu Tianheng’s demand to deploy his true body, while the Devil Race advanced to the seventh defensive line and the Heaven Monitoring Elder said he could not act.
• Mu Tianheng warned the others too late as the Boundary Abyss’s entire defensive line abruptly shattered.

• Gu Yuanqing worried that the war would reach the Qian Yuan Realm, then met Li Lingyun, who hinted that the Boundary Gate led to something beyond the Exquisite Worlds.

Gu Yuanqing rejected Li Lingyun’s proposal to pursue the Fa Yuan Realm, while Ning Xuxuan admitted he was tempted by the chance to advance and asked Gu to protect the Illusionary Spirit Sect if he died. After the Devil Race breached the Boundary Abyss, the Primordial Divine Sect organized defenses across the Exquisite Worlds, while its elders confronted the sect leadership over the leaked Boundary Gate secret and the Hidden Sun Alliance sought a path through it.

Gu Yuanqing repelled the Devil Race’s probes, but discovered that one devil had hidden an Avatar among the Blood Mosquitoes.
