Xiao Yan left for the Thunder Realm as the Xiao Tribe elders fought Lei Ying, then awakened the Spirit Worms within them and turned the tide of battle. The Thunder Clan’s formations began to collapse under Third Elder’s attacks, while Lei Ying remained occupied by the other two elders.

• Xiao Yan gave the Nine Nether Golden Ancestor Flame and Volcanic Stone Flame to Xiao Qing, then traveled to the Thunder Realm with Xiao Ning, Xiao Ke, and Xiao Mei.

• Xiao Ning explained that Spirit Invocation let Amon Spirit Worms take over their hosts and could eventually erase the hosts’ consciousness.

Xiao Yan defeated Lei Ying, who honored their wager by sacrificing himself and leaving the Thunder Clan a Thunder Tribulation Bead before the clan agreed to seal the Thunder Realm for three hundred years. Meanwhile, Hun Tiandi, Xiao Zhan, and Void Devouring Flame ambushed Gu Yuan; after he broke into the besieged Ancient Realm, he concluded the Ancient Clan could not win and ordered its people to flee and preserve their bloodline.

• Xiao Yan defeated Lei Ying, and Lei Ying silenced his clan's calls to fight by accepting his loss and taking his own life.

Xiao Yan arrived as the Soul Clan and Xiao Tribe reunited the Ancient Jade, revealed the location of Tuoshe Ancient God’s Abode beneath Jianan Academy, and began preparing to search for it.

• Gu Yuan confronted Hun Tiandi and the Soul Clan army, but their Seal of Destruction shattered his Ancient God Mirror and left him gravely wounded.
• Gu Yuan fled to draw the Soul Clan away from his clansmen, while Hun Tiandi chose not to pursue him because his injuries would keep him from interfering.
• Xiao Yan arrived beside Xiao Zhan as Hun Tiandi proposed gathering the Ancient Jade under an agreement between the two clans.
• Hun Tiandi joined the eight Ancient Jade fragments, summoning Tuoshe Ancient God’s phantom, and Void Devouring Flame used its eyes to reveal the Ancient God’s Abode beneath Jianan Academy.
• Hun Tiandi ordered the Soul Clan and Xiao Tribe to search for the Abode, while both sides agreed to guard the Ancient Jade together and prepared for the final battle.

Xiao Yan reunited with Xiao Zhan and introduced him to his four daughters, while explaining his ties to the other Amon and revealing that he knew the location of Tuoshe Ancient God's Abode. Xiao Zhan also introduced Xiao Yan to Hun Mi, his new wife and Hun Xiao's mother, as Xiao Yan prepared to leave through the Gate of the Heavenly Tomb.

• Xiao Zhan met Xiao Yan's Dragon Phoenix daughters, Xiao Huo, Xiao Yan, and Xiao Yi, who told him their eldest sister Xiao Xiao had run away.
• Xiao Zhan learned that another Amon had become a patriarch of the Amon Clan, and Xiao Yan reassured him that he regarded Amon as a teacher.
• Xiao Yan told Xiao Zhan he knew the location of Tuoshe Ancient God's Abode and asked him to limit the search to a show for the Soul Clan while he refined the flames from the Flame Clan.
• Xiao Zhan introduced Hun Mi as his wife, and she explained that she had left the Soul Clan but would accept Xiao Yan killing Hun Xiao or Hun Zhang if they opposed him.
• Xiao Yan left the main hall and opened the Gate of the Heavenly Tomb in a nearby open space.

• Xiao Qing brought Xiao Yan three more Heavenly Flames and a Ninth Grade Profound Pill, then left the Heavenly Tomb at his urging.
• Xiao Yan absorbed the eight Heavenly Flames, the pill, and a vast amount of energy with Qing Meng's help, breaking through to Nine-Star Dou Sheng.
• After spending two days adjusting to his new strength, Xiao Yan traveled to Jianan Academy and asked Su Qian to evacuate its students and warn Xiao Men.
• Su Qian told Xiao Yan that a monocled young man in a Pointed Soft Hat had previously warned the academy to leave, and Xiao Yan recognized him as Amon.
• Xiao Yan refined a pill for Su Qian to help him reach Dou Zun, then passed through the seal beneath the Heavenly Burning Qi Refining Tower and plunged into the lava.

Xiao Yan and the Xiao Tribe gathered above Jianan Academy as Hun Tiandi led the Soul Clan to open Tuoshe Ancient God's Abode. Both factions entered the Ancient God Space, where their strongest members secretly split away from their groups, and Xiao Yan followed Qing Meng’s guidance.

• Xiao Yan met with the gathered Xiao Tribe, confirmed that noncombatants and Starfall Pavilion disciples had been moved into the Heavenly Tomb, and reunited with his daughter Xiao Xiao, who insisted she had come to fight.
• Hun Tiandi arrived with the Soul Clan, and the two factions confronted each other above Jianan Academy while wary observers watched from afar.
• Void Devouring Flame destroyed the academy grounds and used the Tuoshe Ancient God Jade to reveal and open the enormous stone gate to the Ancient God's Abode.
• Hun Tiandi and Xiao Yan sent scouts through the gate, while Void Devouring Flame and Qing Meng each guided their side’s leading experts toward separate routes inside.
• After entering the Ancient God Space, the top experts of both factions quietly left their main groups and sped away through the gray mist.

Xiao Yan's group and the Soul Clan reached Heavenly Flame Plaza, where they discovered an altered inheritance and an Emperor Grade Embryonic Pill resembling Amon. As Hun Tiandi and Xiao Yan's forces fought to reach the pill, it unleashed a powerful palm technique against them.

• Xiao Yan's group and the Soul Clan found all twenty-two ranked Heavenly Flames displayed around the plaza, including a second Void Devouring Flame and Purifying Lotus Demon Flame.
• The groups saw a statue resembling Amon, then met an Emperor Grade Embryonic Pill with Amon's appearance, who said its creator had ordered it to fight them or become nourishment for one of them.
• Hun Tiandi ordered an attack on the pill, and Xiao Yan and Xiao Zhan led the Xiao Tribe into battle against the Soul Clan.
• The Xiao Tribe and Soul Clan members clashed across the plaza as Xiao Yan, Xiao Zhan, Hun Tiandi, and Void Devouring Flame fought their way toward the pill.
• The Emperor Grade Embryonic Pill raised its palm and sent an expanding phantom energy palm toward the four approaching fighters.

Hun Tiandi seized the Emperor Grade Embryonic Pill and used its power to overpower Xiao Yan and Xiao Zhan, then retreated before the pill’s energy could destroy him. Xiao Yan summoned Amon, who revealed that he had already become a Dou Emperor and took over the Amon Clan’s patriarchal authority while preserving its alliance with the Xiao Tribe.

• The Emperor Grade Embryonic Pill defeated Hun Tiandi, Void Devouring Flame, Xiao Yan, and Xiao Zhan, but their combined attacks weakened it enough for Void Devouring Flame to trap it with the Ancient Jade.
• Hun Tiandi stole the trapped pill, swallowed it, and gained overwhelming strength, forcing Xiao Yan and Xiao Zhan back before he retreated with Void Devouring Flame and the Soul Clan.
• Xiao Yu tried to self-destruct, but Xiao Zhan severed her control over the Spirit Worms, and the Xiao Tribe abandoned the plan to rely on Hun Tiandi failing to break through.
• Xiao Yan reasoned that Amon had controlled the Ancient God Cave Mansion and summoned him by reciting his titles.
• Amon appeared and confirmed that he had broken through to Dou Emperor; White Amon transferred the patriarch’s authority to him on the condition that he maintain the alliance with the Xiao Tribe.
• White Amon merged with Amon, while Amon teased Xiao Yan for failing his test.

Amon revealed that Tuoshe Ancient God’s statue held an inheritance for Xiao Yan, who entered it to pursue the Dou Emperor realm and prepare to fight Hun Tiandi. Meanwhile, Hun Tiandi activated the Spirit-Devouring Life-Extinguishing Array across the Central Plains, sacrificing its people and even Soul Clan members to reach Dou Emperor.

• Amon explained that Tuoshe Ancient God was the Emperor Flame, formed from twenty-two Heavenly Flames, and that Xiao Yan’s Burning Mantra made him suited to inherit its power.
• Amon used his Monocle to activate the statue, and Xiao Yan moved Heavenly Flame Plaza into the Heavenly Tomb before returning there with the Xiao Tribe.
• Hun Tiandi spread the Spirit-Devouring Life-Extinguishing Array across the Central Plains and began turning its inhabitants into blood offerings.
• Void Devouring Flame ordered the Soul Clan to sacrifice its own ordinary descendants, while Hun Zhang told Hun Xiao that the clan’s elites would be among the last to die.
• Xiao Yan bowed to Tuoshe Ancient God’s statue and stepped into the hollow in its chest.

Xiao Yan received Tuoshe Ancient God's inheritance, survived repeated bodily destruction, and emerged as a Dou Emperor while the Central Plains suffered under Hun Tiandi's blood-sacrifice array. Amon stopped Xiao Yan from confronting Hun Tiandi and challenged him to a fight, which ended with Xiao Yan detonating a Fire Lotus and engulfing them both in flames.

• Tuoshe Ancient God passed his inheritance to Xiao Yan, whose body repeatedly shattered and re-formed as Qing Meng's Heavenly Flame origin fused with him.
• As Hun Tiandi's Spirit-Devouring Life-Extinguishing Array devastated the Central Plains, Xiao Yan's return to the Heavenly Tomb empowered the Xiao Tribe, and Xiao Zhan named him clan leader.
• Xiao Huo, Xiao Yan, and Xiao Yi accepted the Xiao Tribe's returning bloodline power and rose to eight-star Dou Shengs, while Xiao Xiao rejected it.
• Xiao Yan emerged from the Heavenly Tomb and told the Xiao Tribe he would handle what remained, then met Amon, who forbade him from attacking Hun Tiandi before passing his final test.
• Xiao Yan attacked Amon with a Fire Lotus; Amon used starlit Gates to try to seal it, so Xiao Yan detonated it and unleashed a fiery storm that swallowed them both.

Xiao Yan defeated Amon’s four incarnations, and Amon let him go just as Hun Tiandi ascended to Dou Emperor after slaughtering most of the Central Plains. Xiao Yan confronted Hun Tiandi, and their first punches collided as their battle began.

• Amon sent four incarnations to test Xiao Yan’s Flame Emperor Dharma Body, and Xiao Yan destroyed three before the last withdrew.
• Amon told Xiao Yan he had tested him to forge a powerful ally and said the timing was right to let him proceed.
• Hun Tiandi became a Dou Emperor, announced his ascension, and learned from Void Devouring Flame that Xiao Yan had also reached the Emperor realm.
• Hun Tiandi discovered that Xiao Yan had become an Emperor and challenged him to fight for dominion over the Dou Qi Continent.
• Xiao Yan confronted Hun Tiandi over the slaughter across the Central Plains, and the two exchanged punches that carved a vast ravine between them.

Xiao Yan and Hun Tiandi fought across the Central Plains as Hun Tiandi activated the Emperor-Slaying Array and forged a Blood Blade from his clan’s sacrifices. Xiao Yan summoned the Heavenly Flames into the Eternal Heavenly Flame Ruler, while Hun Zhang and the others stayed clear of the battle and prepared an excuse for their absence.

• Xiao Yan scattered Hun Tiandi’s blood clouds with the Buddha Fury Fire Lotus, and the two transformed into enormous bodies and fought hand to hand.
• Hun Tiandi linked the Spirit-Devouring Life-Extinguishing Arrays into the Emperor-Slaying Array, and Xiao Yan recognized the danger posed by the formation.
• Xiao Yan summoned the Heavenly Flames, including the resisting Void Devouring Flame, and formed the Eternal Heavenly Flame Ruler.
• Hun Tiandi sacrificed over a thousand Soul Clan experts to his Blood Blade, then killed most of the remaining Soul Clan army when they hesitated to offer themselves.
• Hun Zhang led Hun Xiao, Hun Qiu, and Hun Dan away from the battlefield and revealed captured sacrifices, including Hun Feng and the unconscious Hun Yu.

Xiao Yan defeated Hun Tiandi and sealed him with Heavenly Flame Plaza, while Amon appeared, offered guidance about the Great Thousand World, and took Hun Tiandi away. Left to consider Amon’s motives, Xiao Yan watched the Soul Clan accept defeat as Hun Zhang and Hun Xiao pleaded to serve him.

• Hun Zhang explained to Hun Xiao that Hun Yuantian was dead and joked that he might offer her to Xiao Yan to secure their safety.
• Hun Tiandi sacrificed Soul Clan members and his own blood to empower the Ghost Blood Blade, but Xiao Yan defeated him in their final clash.
• Xiao Yan burned his Dou Emperor Dharma Body and used Heavenly Flame Plaza to seal Hun Tiandi in a fire cocoon, then collapsed from exhaustion.
• Amon gave Xiao Yan an Emperor Flame, explained the Great Thousand World’s power levels and dangers, and departed with Hun Tiandi.
• Xiao Yan worried that Amon might be connected to the Outer Evil Clan, while the defeated Soul Clan grieved and accepted Hun Tiandi’s loss.
• Hun Zhang, Hun Xiao, and two other Soul Clan members knelt before Xiao Yan, apologized, and offered to serve him.

After defeating Hun Tiandi, Xiao Yan killed Hun Feng and Hun Yu, spared the Soul Clan, and watched Hun Zhang take over as its clan leader. Sealed away, Hun Tiandi learned Amon had empowered the Xiao Tribe and was offered one last chance to become his follower.

• Xiao Yan gave Hun Xiao a Child Flame of the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame and told Hun Zhang he would not pursue the Soul Clan, but demanded Hun Feng and Hun Yu be handed over.
• Hun Zhang brought out Hun Feng and Hun Yu, and Xiao Yan killed them after his Dou Emperor pressure revealed his power.
• Xiao Yan opened the Gate of the Heavenly Tomb, and Xiao Zhan and the Xiao Tribe emerged to find the Central Plains devastated.
• Hun Zhang gained the Soul Clan's support to become its next clan leader, then declared Hun Tiandi a sinner and expelled him from the clan.
• Hun Tiandi heard Hun Zhang's declaration inside Xiao Yan's seal, where Amon revealed he had lent the Xiao Tribe its power and offered Hun Tiandi a chance to become his follower.
