Arc 157Mortals Reinforce the Human Army
Xu Taiping led the Human Race Army against the Demon Mother, but her endlessly replenished Different People Army drove them toward destruction. Ordinary mortals arrived across the realms to rescue him, and Xu Taiping and Lin Buyu extended their battle intent over the newcomers to bring them into the formation.
- Xu Taiping used the Great Thunder Sound Formation to destroy the Demon Mother's clones, while Yang Hong sacrificed himself trying to stop her from breaking the Subdue Demons Formation.
- The Demon Mother broke the seal, revived her clones, and created a ten-million-strong Different People Army that replaced its fallen soldiers.
- Xu Taiping and Lin Buyu led the Human Race Army against the Different People, but Xu Taiping's divination showed that their resistance would end in their deaths.
- Xu Taiping broadcast the battle across Shangqing through the Six-Nostril Mirror and rallied his soldiers to keep fighting so others could learn how to face the enemy.
- Dipankara Buddha and Venerable Jiaye opened paths to the battlefield, while Emperor Yang and other leaders gathered ordinary mortals who volunteered to reinforce Xu Taiping.
- Xu Taiping summoned eight hundred thousand Demon-Slaying Army Heroic Spirits and repeatedly attacked enemy generals, but mounting losses left fewer than a million human soldiers for his final charge.
- Xu Taiping fell beneath the Different People Army's attacks, but the combined battle intent of ordinary mortals broke through the enemy formation and lifted him to safety.
- Xu Taiping restored his body with Life Without End, then joined Lin Buyu in spreading their battle intent over twenty million newcomers and called them forward to fight.
