Yuanshi then brought out the Heaven-Suppressing Coffin to try to hold Tongtian back and save Zhunti’s true spirit from the Investiture of the Gods List.

• Hongjun appeared and forbade Tongtian from using the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation, then watched the battle from the void.

Luohu, still alive and secretly ruling a world steeped in Demonic Qi, was discovered by Hongjun and began preparing for their coming battle. Hongjun’s probing presence was destroyed when the God-Slaying Spear exploded, and his furious declaration that he would kill Luohu alerted the Primordial World that the Demon Ancestor had returned.
