Xu Taiping and Lü Daoxuan fought through the Demon Mother's edict while Kang Cangzi and the others attacked her. As Xu Taiping discovered the Demon Mother was devouring the Shangqing Edict, Kang Cangzi struck her with a seemingly ordinary palm, splitting her true body into six.

• After the Demon Mother's protective edict shattered, her Nine Abysses power trapped Xu Taiping and Lü Daoxuan while Lü Daoxuan's sword intent held it back.
• Xu Taiping summoned the army's battle intent and led the Human Race Army through the edict, suffering heavy casualties as Lü Daoxuan broke free.

• Lady Jade Mother warned Xu Taiping that the Demon Mother was devouring the Shangqing Edict through her serpent tail, and told him to sever it.
• Before Xu Taiping could alert the others, Kang Cangzi struck the Demon Mother with a palm, and her true body split into six.

Xu Taiping and the human cultivators attacked the Demon Mother's six weakened clones, but learned that splitting her body had sped up her consumption of the Shangqing Edict. As the Demon Mother created an army of living beings to stall them, Xu Taiping proposed using the Thunder Sound Five-Direction Earth-Splitting Formation to destroy all six clones at once.

• Kang Cangzi used the Origin of the Great Dao Edict to divide the Demon Mother's combat power among six clones, and the cultivators attacked them in separate groups.
• Xu Taiping, Jade Dipper, and Qingzhou wounded one clone, but Xu Taiping noticed its serpent tail was still devouring the Shangqing Edict and warned Kang Cangzi.
• The Demon Mother revealed that the cultivators' actions had helped her devour the Shangqing Edict faster, then used it to create nearly ten thousand strange beings and ordered them to attack.
• Xu Taiping and his army killed more than a thousand strange beings, while Kang Cangzi explained that the six clones could not be recalled and had to be destroyed.
• The Lotus Eye showed Xu Taiping an image of a grinding disc, leading him to propose using the Thunder Sound Five-Direction Earth-Splitting Formation with the half-immortals to eliminate all six clones.
• Kang Cangzi agreed to Xu Taiping's plan and warned that he would need to draw on the formation's full battle intent, promising to sacrifice himself if the attempt failed.

Xu Taiping assembled the Human Race armies and powerful banner-bearing generals into a Great Thunder Sound Formation to surround the Demon Mother’s six clones. As the clones unleashed their Nine Abysses Origin Edicts, Xu Taiping rallied the soldiers and ordered all 108 banner bearers to use their full power; the thunder surges began to collide, leaving their convergence dependent on his ability to draw out the army’s full Battle Intent.

• Xu Taiping summoned Fairy Lingyue, Lin Buyu, Dugu Qingxiao, Blade Ghost, and the others to join the Yuheng Army and form the Great Thunder Sound Formation.
• Fairy Lingyue explained that the formation’s power had risen beyond its normal rank because more than ten Half-Immortal experts were among its banner bearers, putting Xu Taiping at risk of backlash.
• The Demon Mother’s six clones unleashed Nine Abysses Origin Edicts, and their blood rain killed soldiers and spread fear until the Thunder Sound Banners and Xu Taiping’s Battle Intent purged its Divine Soul Attack.
• Xu Taiping ordered all banner-bearing generals to drive their Thunder Sound Banners at full power, and Lin Buyu led the others in obeying him.
• The 108 banner bearers’ thunder pillars surrounded the six clones but collided instead of merging, and Xu Taiping’s Battle Intent and Divine Sense surged across the formation.

Xu Taiping and the armies used the Great Thunder Sound Formation to destroy four of the Demon Mother's six clones, but one escaped toward the Subdue Demons Formation and attacked its seal. With Yang Hong and Jiang Fu's forces burning under her assault, Xu Taiping ordered Yang Hong to hold the clone back, even at the cost of his life.

• Xu Taiping led the battle formation's charge, and its Thunder Sound Grinding Disc destroyed four of the Demon Mother's six clones.
• The Demon Mother made one clone explode to tear open a void rift and escape, then sent it to attack the Subdue Demons Formation guarded by Yang Hong and Jiang Fu.
• Kang Cangzi revealed that the Subdue Demons Formation sealed the Demon Mother's Nine Abysses Origin Undying Edict, which could restore her if the formation broke.
• The Demon Mother's clone overwhelmed Yang Hong and Jiang Fu's armies, burning nearly thirty percent of their troops and armor with her Nine Abysses Blood-Burning Edict.
• Xu Taiping ordered Yang Hong to stop the clone and hold on even if he died, and Yang Hong answered that he obeyed.

Yang Hong and the Crimson Blade Armor fought a Demon Mother Clone while Jiang Fu withdrew the Ziyang Army to protect the sealing formation. After the Demon Mother shattered Yang Hong’s formation and blade technique, Yang Hong began burning his Dao Essence and called upon the Crimson Blade Armor.

• Yang Hong blocked the Demon Mother’s edict power while Jiang Fu led the Ziyang Army down to guard the corroding grand sealing formation.
• The Demon Mother wielded blade techniques and cleaved through Yang Hong’s strike, destroying the Crimson Blade Armor’s formation and killing its cultivators.
• Duan Xiaoyu warned Yang Hong not to burn his Dao Essence, but he insisted that he would not lose again and gathered the army’s battle intent.
• Yang Hong burned more than half of his Dao Essence as the Demon Mother’s blade pressure killed and wounded soldiers, then called out to the Crimson Blade Armor.

Yang Hong sacrificed himself to gain the strength to fight the Demon Mother Clone while Xu Taiping and the others tried to wear her down. As Yang Hong’s power faded, he revealed his own burial blade method and pierced the clone, claiming he had slain her.

• Yang Hong united the Red Blade Army’s battle intent and used it to strike the Demon Mother’s Blood Blade aside, but she shattered his blade and fatally wounded him.
• Yang Hong declared his Blade Offering complete, summoned a bone blade, and used the power he had possessed at the moment of sacrifice to fight the Demon Mother Clone to a standstill.
• Kang Cangzi explained that the forbidden blade sacrifice method would scatter Yang Hong’s soul and spirit, and Xu Taiping urged everyone to help finish off the clone while he powered the Thunder Sound Banner.
• The Demon Mother Clone weakened Yang Hong’s bone blade and sent him flying, then rushed in to deliver a finishing strike.
• Yang Hong revealed his personal burial blade method, merged with the bone blade, and pierced the Demon Mother Clone as a five-colored halo and flames engulfed her.
• Yang Hong laughed and claimed that he had slain the Demon Mother, boasting that his burial blade method surpassed his grandfather’s blade sacrifice method.

Yang Hong died after his final slash failed to destroy the Demon Mother, whose clones revived and overwhelmed the Subdue Demons Formation. Xu Taiping rallied the armies behind him and struck back, vowing to kill the Demon Mother and her clones again.

• Yang Hong unleashed a life-consuming slash, but Xu Taiping destroyed the last clone in the Great Thunder Sound Formation and rushed to save him.
• A hidden Demon Mother clone attacked Yang Hong, and Lü Daoxuan intervened so Xu Taiping could try to sustain Yang Hong's life.
• The Demon Mother summoned a hundred thousand otherworlders, shattered the Subdue Demons Formation, and caused Yang Hong to die before Xu Taiping could save him.
• Kang Cangzi, Lü Daoxuan, and Fairy Lingyue destroyed a revived blood blade clone, but the Demon Mother revived her clones and revealed that she had benefited from Xu Taiping's Shadow-Splitting Edict.
• Chu Yinan and the armies gathered behind Xu Taiping, who joined their battle intent and punched the Demon Mother's blood blade clone away, declaring that he would kill them all again.

The Demon Mother sealed the battlefield off from the world’s edicts but summoned millions of Different People who could form Human Race battle formations and resist their edict power. The Human Race forces faced a ten-million-strong army led by the Demon Mother’s two remaining clones, who challenged Xu Taiping’s five-million-strong army to overcome them.

• Crow Heavenly Venerable used the Desperate Ground Heaven-Sealing Edict to cut off the battlefield from the surrounding sky and earth, while Xu Taiping replenished his army’s strength with Demon Seeds.
• Xu Taiping and the other cultivators fought the six Demon Mother Clones until the Demon Mother created a million Different People soldiers from dust, sand, and stones.
• The Different People formed Human Race-style battle formations, resisted the Shangqing Edict, and drove back Kang Cangzi and the other cultivators.
• Xu Taiping led the Demon-Slaying Army into battle, but more Different People armies appeared and forced the Human Race powerhouses to retreat into his formation.
• The six Demon Mother Clones summoned ten million Different People, and four clones burst apart from the effort.
• The two remaining Demon Mother Clones merged and challenged Xu Taiping’s five-million-strong army to defeat their ten-million-strong force with battle intent.

Xu Taiping and the Human Race Army confronted the Demon Mother's otherfolk army, whose battle intent repelled even powerful attacks from Kang Cangzi and Blade Ghost. As the Demon Mother offered wavering cultivators a place in the Nine Abysses, Xu Taiping warned that the Human Race could suffer the same fate as the Dragon Clan and said he would not force anyone to remain.

• Ping'an asked Xu Taiping how they could fight the densely packed otherfolk army, whose formation and battle intent matched the Human Race Army's.
• Kang Cangzi and Blade Ghost attacked the otherfolk army, but its battle intent blocked the Demon-Suppressing Stele and Kang Cangzi's strike, then tore apart Blade Ghost's Avīci Blade Domain.
• Fairy Lingyue concluded that the otherfolk were a lineage born from the Shangqing Edict, and Xu Taiping connected their rise to the Dragon Clan's replacement.
• The golden-armored otherfolk commander led hundreds of battle generals in a charge, forcing Kang Cangzi and Blade Ghost to retreat into the Human Race formation.
• Xu Taiping said the Demon Mother and her army had to be destroyed in Yeyuan City, or the Human Race would share the fate of the Divine Being Clan and the Dragon Clan.
• The Demon Mother threatened to raise humans as food, then offered wavering cultivators a place in the Nine Abysses; Xu Taiping said he would not force anyone to stay.

Xu Taiping and his allies refused the Demon Mother’s offer and prepared five million human soldiers to face the ten-million-strong Different People Army. With Lin Buyu’s help, Xu Taiping led the charge and disrupted the enemy formation, then called for the humans to break through it.

• Xu Taiping, Lin Buyu, Fairy Lingyue, Kang Cangzi, Lü Daoxuan, and the Azure Profound Sect rejected defection to the Nine Abysses, while Crow Heavenly Venerable and the other Half-Immortals stayed with the human army.
• Xu Taiping gave the soldiers a chance to leave, but none retreated, and he ordered the five-million-strong army to form ranks.
• The Demon Mother ordered the ten-million-strong Different People Army to sweep away the humans, and both sides summoned battle-intent manifestations.
• Lin Buyu joined her battle intent with Xu Taiping’s through the Listening Wind Bracelet, enabling him to mobilize ninety percent of the human army’s battle intent.
• Xu Taiping and Lin Buyu led the human army into the enemy formation, and their attacks sent the Different People’s battle-intent generals flying back.
• Xu Taiping called on the human officers to break the faltering enemy formation.

Xu Taiping led the five-million-strong Human Race Army against the ten-million-strong Different People Army, using his Lotus Eye to coordinate their attacks and gain the upper hand. After deducing that a breakthrough would leave them surrounded, he stopped the charge and discovered the Demon Mother could replenish her army to ten million, leaving the human forces facing an apparently inexhaustible enemy.

• Xu Taiping coordinated the Human Race Army's assault, breaking through the enemy formation and isolating contingents for his troops to destroy.
• Zhang Tianze told Xu Taiping that his army could pierce the formation, but Xu Taiping paused to deduce the outcome and saw the Human Race Army being surrounded and slaughtered.
• Lin Buyu suggested another Different People Army might appear, so Xu Taiping ordered Zhang Tianze to halt the breakthrough and join the other armies.
• A newly formed Different People Army appeared outside the formation, while slain soldiers were replaced, restoring the enemy force to exactly ten million.
• Xu Taiping realized the Demon Mother could replenish the army and heard her taunt that ten million was the world's Ultimate Realm, not her own, as he suspected she was trying to break the human army's Battle Intent.

Xu Taiping steadied the Human Race Army after the Demon Mother claimed the Different People could endlessly return from death, then opened the Fifth Great Dao Golden Lotus to seek a solution. Its divination showed him leading the army in a final stand that would buy Shangqing time and broadcast vital intelligence, leaving Xu Taiping to accept that he and the army might die.

• The Demon Mother claimed the Different People Army could never be fully killed, shaking the Human Race Army's battle intent.
• Xu Taiping rallied the soldiers and battle generals, and the army's formations held despite losing more than a hundred thousand soldiers.
• Xu Taiping asked Lin Buyu to take over the Lotus Eye and admitted he had lied to sustain the army's morale; he revealed his plan to make their deaths meaningful if necessary.
• Lin Buyu refused to let Xu Taiping face that fate alone, and he opened the Fifth Great Dao Golden Lotus while she directed the battle formations.
• The Golden Lotus showed Xu Taiping ordering the army to die fighting while he projected their battle and intelligence about the Different People into every realm of Shangqing.
• Xu Taiping accepted that the divination offered hope for Shangqing's future at the cost of his life and the Human Race Army.

Xu Taiping revealed that the Different People could be resurrected, then rallied the five-million-strong Human Race Army by explaining that their sacrifices would provide Shangqing with time and intelligence. The army charged the endless Different People, and the projected battlefield showed the start of a hopeless battle.

• Xu Taiping told Lin Buyu that they might all perish, and she reassured him that she would stand with him.
• The Demon Mother resurrected the slain Different People and urged the Human Race Army to join her, while Xu Taiping let her expose the truth.
• Xu Taiping admitted that the Different People could not be permanently killed and announced that the Six-Nostril Mirror would project the battle across Shangqing's realms.
• Xu Taiping explained that every moment they held out and every Different Person they killed would help those who came after them prepare.
• Xu Taiping asked the army to follow him to the Yellow Springs, and five million soldiers answered that they would.
• Xu Taiping ordered the army to charge, and the Human Race forces attacked the seemingly endless Different People Army.

Ninth Madam realized that the Demon Mother had merged with the Shangqing Edict and that the Human Race Army was buying time against endlessly reborn enemies, so she called for reinforcements and a search for their weakness. As the battle was projected across the Five Heavens, even a mortal cowherd wanted to fight, while his father feared the coming calamity.

• Ninth Madam recognized that Xu Taiping and the Human Race Army were sacrificing themselves to reveal the Demon Mother's power, and ordered Black Prison to recruit cultivators and gather Qi-Reading Practitioners.
• The Abyssal Pavilion joined the battle and killed over a hundred thousand Nine Abysses Different People, but Ninth Madam saw them immediately rise again and feared that more reinforcements would only die.
• The battle images appeared throughout the Five Heavens and in the mortal world of True Martial Heaven.
• A farmer watched the Human Race Army being overwhelmed and hurried home with his son and ox, fearing fiends and demons would soon wreak havoc in the Mortal Realm.
• The young cowherd insisted that mortals should fight alongside the immortals, but his father told him that ordinary people were powerless.

Cui Tiegu and Liu Zijin debated whether ordinary people would dare help fight the Nine Abysses Demon Mother, while Buddhism opened paths to the Heaven-Demon Battlefield and called on mortals to join the Human Race soldiers. The chapter ended with commoners across the realms volunteering to fight, challenging Cui Tiegu’s belief that they could do nothing.

• Cui Tiegu told Liu Zijin he had abandoned the throne of Great Qi to fight on the Heaven-Demon Battlefield, and Liu Zijin explained her faith in human nature.
• Dipankara Buddha and Venerable Jiaye agreed to open paths to the battlefield despite the cost to Buddhism, trusting their Buddha to protect those who chose to go.
• Buddhist lights appeared across the realms as Venerable Jiaye and Dipankara Buddha invited people to join the Human Race soldiers.
• Cui Tiegu doubted that ordinary mortals would answer the call, but a young butcher and a blacksmith urged the crowd to take up weapons.
• People on the street began volunteering together, and Cui Tiegu’s warning that they were mere mortal bones was drowned out.

As the Human Race Army struggled against the Nine Abysses Different People Army, Ninth Madam ordered Siyou and Li Shu to focus on finding a way to counter the Demon Mother rather than send more reinforcements. In Mysterious Wasteland Heaven, Gongshu Chi prepared to aid Xu Taiping, and Emperor Yang arrived with the Mysterious Wasteland Tower to discuss the forces they could muster.

• Ninth Madam learned that the allied forces could send only ten thousand troops, while the Human Race Army fell below four million against the Demon Mother’s ten million Demon Seeds.
• Xu Taiping ordered the Human Race Army to form the Jueming Town-Demon Battle Formation and urged those watching to preserve hope for humanity rather than send futile reinforcements.

• Gongshu Chi learned that people across Mysterious Wasteland Heaven were petitioning to join the fight, though his son Gongshu Bai had already taken away all cultivators at the Spirit Refining Realm or above.
• Emperor Yang arrived at Gongshu Chi’s residence with the Mysterious Wasteland Tower and asked how many troops Mysterious Wasteland Heaven could muster.

Gongshu Chi agreed to let ordinary people join Thousand Mechanisms City's army after they showed their courage and desire to repay Xu Taiping. Ten days later, Ninth Madam learned that commoners from across the Five Heavens were heading to the Heaven-Demon Battlefield.

• Commoners crowded into Gongshu Chi's residence and insisted on joining the effort to rescue the Taiping Sword Champion, citing their gratitude to him and their willingness to die.

Ninth Madam watched intelligence from the Lower Realm and learned that ordinary people were heading to the Heaven-Demon Battlefield despite the danger. A scene from Old Dragon City showed volunteers rushing toward the battlefield, and a young horseman asked the flatbread shopkeeper if he was bound there too.

• Ninth Madam asked why the Lower Realm's sects were not stopping ordinary people from going to the Heaven-Demon Battlefield, and Li Shu said they were overwhelmed.
• Li Shu explained that the Immortal Burial Ruins had been integrated into Chenglong Heaven and that its people had grown into powerful martial artists and cultivators.
• Ninth Madam watched a Divine Soul Mark showing a crooked-mouthed man heading from Hongling Town to Old Dragon's Mouth, determined to reach the Heaven-Demon Battlefield.

• A young man on horseback rode up to the exhausted shopkeeper and asked whether he was bound for the Heaven-Demon Battlefield.

A flatbread seller brought food to three martial artists heading for the Heaven-Demon Battlefield, then was inspired by Xu Taiping’s stand to join the fight himself. After watching the images, Ninth Madam realized the treasure that could counter the Nine Abysses had been there from the beginning.

• A young man took the flatbread seller to Old Dragon's Mouth, where the Grand Teleportation Array was activating.

• Ninth Madam watched the images and concluded that the treasure capable of countering the Nine Abysses had been there from the beginning.

Xu Taiping led the battered Human Race Army against the overwhelming Different People Army of the Nine Abysses, ordering a shift from defending against its charges to hunting its battle generals. After killing several enemy generals, the Human Race forces retreated, leaving the battle unresolved.

• Xu Taiping and Buyu helped the Black Tortoise Army, Ziyang Army, and Yuheng Army escape encirclement, but the Human Race Army lost another two hundred thousand battle generals.

Xu Taiping’s Human Race Army faced another assault from the Different People Army as the Abyssal Pavilion and the Heaven-Hunting Great Sage intervened. The Demon Mother then raised the enemy’s battle intent to its ultimate realm, leaving Xu Taiping unsure whether the Human Race could survive.

• Xu Taiping reformed the Human Race Army’s Defensive Battle Formation and learned that Lei Huo, Jiang Yu, Lei Xiao, Li Shi, Ling Feng, Zhai Mo, and Gongshu Nanxing had died.

• The Demon Mother ordered the Different People Army to raise its battle intent to the ultimate realm, overwhelming Xu Taiping with doubts about whether the battle was lost.

Xu Taiping and the Human Race Army repeatedly held off the ten-million-strong Nine Abysses Different People Army, using Heroic Spirits and dangerous charges to kill enemy generals. As their own generals and Heroic Spirits fell, Xu Taiping promised the dead that the survivors would soon join them.

• Xu Taiping summoned eight hundred thousand Demon-Slaying Army Heroic Spirits to reinforce the Human Race Army's battle intent, then led the generals into the enemy formation to kill its officers.

• Human fighters called out to Xu Taiping and gathered toward him as faint, warm specks of light.
