After the pagodas fell and strengthened the restrictions around Broken Pagoda Mountain, Ye Han and his companions encountered seventeen Ancient Tower Guards. Ye Han destroyed the first guard with a single punch, leaving the others charging toward the group.

• Ye Han used the Vajra Fire God Art to punch through the first guard's saber attack and cave in its armor.
• The first Ancient Tower Guard exploded into pieces, and its flying armor fragments struck the other guards.

Ye Han and his companions discovered that Ping Liangzi’s golden skulls weakened the Ancient Tower Guards, allowing them to destroy the creatures despite their formidable armor. As more guards poured from a fallen tower, Bafang Cailai revealed that the object she sensed was inside it, and the group decided to fight their way in.

• Ye Han overwhelmed the Ancient Tower Guards while Yuwen Hong and Bafang Cailai struggled to harm them, so Ping Liangzi used her golden skulls to weaken the guards with blood-colored runes.

• Ye Han captured the scorpion with the Gods-and-Devils Hand and sealed it inside the Ghost Skull Mirror.
• Two observers wondered whether the Ghost Skull Mirror resembled a legendary treasure.

Ye Han and his companions defeated an Ancient Tower Divine Scorpion inside a fallen tower, then continued toward the next level while debating whether to seek the New Tower instead. Meanwhile, Old Ancestor Yuwen reported that hundreds of dilapidated towers and Ancient Tower Guards had appeared at Broken Pagoda Mountain, leaving his master to decide how to respond.

• Old Ancestor Yuwen arrived at the Yuwen Lineage hall and reported that hundreds of dilapidated towers had fallen at Broken Pagoda Mountain and Ancient Tower Guards were roaming the area.

Old Ancestor Yuwen’s master suspected the Heaven-Breaking Tower’s strange appearance signaled a crisis tied to the Outer Heaven Realm, but chose to let Ye Han continue without sending support. Meanwhile, Ye Han and his companions crossed Broken Pagoda Abyss after finding peerless-grade spirit stones, searching for the tower indicated by Ping Liangzi’s Divine Thunder Tower.

• Old Ancestor Yuwen asked whether they should recall Ye Han, but his master decided Ye Han must face the danger alone and ordered them to prepare to receive him if he returned.

• Ye Han brought out captured Ancient Tower Guard armor, and the group disguised themselves in it before following the guards toward the phenomenon.

As the Five Elements Heaven-Shaking Formation collapsed, Ye Han urged Ping Liangzi to open the New Tower’s gate, and its lightning began flowing into her Divine Thunder Tower.

• Ping Liangzi summoned her Divine Thunder Tower, and lightning from the New Tower’s barrier surged into it.
