• Huo Xuan warned that even Commander-in-Chief Taiping might not defeat the Nine Abysses Demonic Army with too few troops, while Wei Ming urged the commanders to rely on Yanyuntai’s defenses until Taiping returned.
• Demonic General Chongming led eight hundred thousand soldiers into Yanyuntai’s barrier, where a divine general phantom from the restrictions stopped their advance.
• Chongming formed the Immortal-Slaying Battle Formation, summoning a giant Zhu Yan phantom that shattered the first barrier’s divine general and breached the barrier in less than half an incense stick.
• At the second barrier, three divine general phantoms destroyed the first Zhu Yan, but Chongming unleashed the soldiers’ full battle intent and sent ten Zhu Yan phantoms to defeat the defenders.

• Demonic General Chongming led eight hundred thousand demonic troops in a fierce assault, breaching Yanyuntai’s third barrier while Chu Yinan kept the city gates closed.
