Du Yu warned Yinglong that the Dragon-Slaying Cult planned to kill it for its wings, prompting the Dragon Ancestor to attack the cult when its black-robed monks arrived. At Mount Buzhou, Houtu and the Flame Emperor's forces joined Sage and the others to confront another group of monks.

• Du Yu and the Seven Outstanding Disciples of the Sage reached Yinglong and warned it that the Dragon-Slaying Cult planned an operation called Feather Transcendence to seize its wings.

• Houtu asked the National Men Tribe whether the black monks were the culprits who had provoked her grandfather and Father Chief into fighting.

Sage warned Houtu and the Flame Emperor that the black-robed monks were powerful and intended to purge the world, and Houtu left to seek help from the Yellow Emperor. The Flame Emperor, Sage, Zhan Qisheng, and their allies prepared to hold off the monks, who descended to force them into the Extreme Darkness World.

Sage and Zhan Qisheng faced the black Dragon-Subduing Arhat and learned that the enemy force included hundreds of Arhats formed from the Western Paradise’s Arhats’ evil thoughts. As battle erupted at Mount Buzhou, Myriad Bone Workshop arrived and told Shiranui Asuka to summon several powerful Shikigami.

• Myriad Bone Workshop instructed Shiranui Asuka to summon Shuten, Tamamo-no-Mae, Flying Head, Ibaraki, Slit-Mouthed Woman, and Eight-Foot Tall Person.

Shiranui Asuka’s demon friends joined the battle at Mount Unreturning, where Shuten Doji rallied the fighters and Slit-Mouthed Woman confronted a monk. The fight continued as Slit-Mouthed Woman attacked the monk who had called her beautiful.

• Shiranui Asuka identified the seven yokai who arrived at Mount Unreturning as her friends.
• Myriad Bone Workshop sent the seven demons to fight the black-robed monks, and Shuten Doji and Ibaraki Doji charged into battle.
• Shuten Doji learned that the Flame Emperor was occupied dueling the enemy leader and took charge of rallying the warriors.
• Weaver Girl gave the demons Translation Talismans so the fighters could understand Shuten Doji’s orders.
• Slit-Mouthed Woman removed her scarf and mask, and a monk told her he thought she was beautiful.
• Slit-Mouthed Woman’s power tore open the monk’s mouth, and she laughed as she promised to make him beautiful like her.

Shiranui Asuka tried to stop her Shikigami from fighting among themselves while they battled the monks. When a monk seized her, all seven Shikigami appeared at her side and rescued her, leaving the attacker surrounded.

• Eight-Foot Tall Person stopped Black Monk from attacking Slit-Mouthed Woman, and Slit-Mouthed Woman killed him in midair.
• Slit-Mouthed Woman and Eight-Foot Woman began threatening to torture each other, but Shiranui Asuka blew her whistle and gave them both a red card and a smack.

• A black monk seized Shiranui Asuka by the throat, and all seven Shikigami appeared beside her to surround him as Flying Head and Tamamo-no-Mae caught her.

Shiranui Asuka survived an attack by an impostor Black Monk while the battle at Mount Buzhou intensified, and Sage discovered that A Can and A Kui’s forgotten origins might be tied to Du Yu’s experiences. After receiving Sage’s plea for help, Du Yu realized that confronting the Dragon Ancestor directly could put everyone’s lives at risk.

• Shuten assigned Flying Head and Tamamo-no-Mae to protect Shiranui Asuka, and the monsters joined the fight against the Black Monks.
• An impostor disguised as Xiao Nian attacked Shiranui Asuka, but an unseen intervention turned the venomous snakes into fire and ice before Tamamo-no-Mae struck the attacker.
• Gonggong and Zhurong entered the battle, while A Can, A Kui, and Sage recalled that their memories of traveling with Du Yu to find Yinglong had abruptly ended.
• Sage asked Dong Qianqiu to tell Du Yu to uncover A Can and A Kui’s origins because the Allied Army was struggling against the Black Monks.
• Du Yu learned that the Dragon Ancestor was weakening and decided that charging in to question him was too risky.

Du Yu struggled to find a way for both his group and Sage’s group to win, until Xiao Qi revealed she was the future timeline’s Voice Transmitter. She warned him that the Western Extreme Darkness World would attack in five days, with He Suoyi among its leaders.

• Du Yu failed to devise a plan that could ensure victory in both Legends as Yinglong’s battle with the monks worsened.
• Xiao Qi’s voice reached Du Yu, and she revealed she was speaking from another timeline as Sage’s Voice Transmitter.
• Xiao Qi explained that she was a Seven-Lives Cat and had kept her identity hidden after He Suoyi had already killed her once.

• Xiao Qi warned that the Extreme Darkness World would mobilize in five days, bringing Great Dark Heaven, the Black Arhat Venerables, and tens of thousands of devotees.

Du Yu realized Sage had regretted fighting He Suoyi after returning to find the Immortals slaughtered, and that Xiao Qi was trying to prevent him from repeating that tragedy. With the future surprise attack looming, Du Yu decided to gamble on a plan to deal with the Arhats and prepare for what came next.

• Xiao Qi asked Du Yu whether he would obey orders to stay out of a fight if He Suoyi tortured and killed the Immortals, and Du Yu vowed to make He Suoyi pay.
• Du Yu realized Sage had not returned to the Legend Management Bureau on the fifth day and had later found the Immortals dead, leading him to fight He Suoyi in a battle he regretted.
• Du Yu understood that his own rage would make him repeat Sage's actions and that returning on the fifth day gave him a chance to prepare for the Extreme Darkness World's surprise attack.
• Du Yu decided to handle the Five Hundred Arhats first and proposed that Sage and Old Zhan find a way to knock down Mount Buzhou.

Sage summoned Xingtian and struck Mount Buzhou with a stone axe, while Zhan Qisheng defended him from the Black Monks. As Sage prepared to unleash a stronger blow, Liu Ling arrived to help, but his attack barely hurt a monk.

• Du Yu proposed that Sage arrange for Nüwa to come to Dragon Ancestor Island on the seventh day after Gonggong brought down Mount Buzhou.
• After hearing the plan, Sage and the others agreed to carry it out, and Sage and Zhan Qisheng fought their way together through the monks.
• Sage summoned Xingtian and struck Mount Buzhou with a Stone Great Axe, but the blow only left a notch.
• Sage prepared to unleash a stronger strike despite warning that its backlash might kill him, while the Dragon-Subduing Arhat sent monks to stop him.
• Zhan Qisheng fought off the Black Monks attacking Sage and was nearly defeated before Liu Ling arrived and tried to attack one of them.

Dong Qianqiu discovered that Xie Yujiao had an eerie connection to the Black Monks, who called her their mother. Du Yu recognized the signs that Xie Yujiao was about to regain her memories as You Si, but the nature of her connection and mission remained unclear.

• Zhan Qisheng told the group that Sage was preparing to cleave the mountain, and they resolved to protect Yu from the Black Monks.
• Dong Qianqiu guided Xiao Nian to safety, then found Xie Yujiao among the Black Monks.
• A Black Monk knelt before Xie Yujiao and called her Mother, while more monks gathered and bowed to her.
• Xie Yujiao's eyes briefly turned pitch-black before she returned to herself, leaving Dong Qianqiu convinced something was wrong.
• Dong Qianqiu told Xiao Qi to warn Du Yu that Xie Yujiao might be a traitor.
• Du Yu explained that Xie Yujiao was close to remembering her old mission and becoming You Si, and told Xiao Qi that Sage's group had no reason to fear her as a traitor.

Sage and his allies fought to break through the Black Monks, while Yingning helped the wounded Zhan Qisheng withdraw and recover. As the monks inexplicably bowed to Xie Yujiao instead of attacking her, a long-sealed aura began to erupt from her.

• Zhan Qisheng refused to stop fighting despite his wounds, but Liu Ling urged him to survive and speak with Sage, and Yingning came to tend to his injury.
• Yingning led Zhan Qisheng away to rest, promising he still owed her and could repay her only by staying alive.
• The Black Monks manifested their Arhat forms and began overpowering the Weaver Girl, so Xie Yujiao arrived and raised a defensive Magic Array.
• The monks stopped attacking, bowed to Xie Yujiao, and moved elsewhere to fight, leaving the Weaver Girl puzzled.
• The Weaver Girl noticed Xie Yujiao had lowered her head as an oppressive aura erupted from her body.

You Si awakened inside Xie Yujiao and attacked Weaver Girl after she questioned her mission. Weaver Girl learned that You Si was searching for someone suitable to become the new “Time,” and Shiranui Asuka rescued her as Dong Qianqiu relayed the revelation to Du Yu.

• Shiranui Asuka broke the formation, and the Great Tengu rescued the badly injured Weaver Girl.
• Dong Qianqiu told Du Yu what You Si’s mission was.

You Si attacked Weaver Girl and the monsters at Mount Buzhou with powerful formations, while Xie Yujiao devised a way to rescue Weaver Girl without breaking the enemy’s gravity array. Tamamo-no-Mae carried the injured Weaver Girl away as You Si pursued them.

• You Si trapped the Great Tengu and Weaver Girl in a gravity formation, then attacked Shuten Doji and Ibaraki Doji with fire and lightning formations.
• Shiranui Asuka asked Dong Qianqiu to consult Xie Yujiao, while Du Yu ordered the Legend Management Bureau to begin recalling Weaver Girl and summon four renowned physicians.
• Xie Yujiao advised Shiranui Asuka to place a Flying Array outside the gravity formation to counter its effects.
• Shiranui Asuka used the Flying Array to help the Great Tengu carry Weaver Girl out of the gravity formation.
• Tamamo-no-Mae took Weaver Girl and ran as You Si flew after them.

Tamamo-no-Mae prepared to break the Killing Stone and unleash her Demon Beast form to stop You Si, but Yingning arrived before she could. You Si then revealed that she had combined the Five Elements Art with the Time Spell to recreate Zhan Qisheng’s techniques, leaving Yingning furious and stunned.

• Tamamo-no-Mae struck You Si, then resolved to break the Killing Stone and transform despite Shiranui Asuka’s pleas.
• Yingning stopped Tamamo-no-Mae and told Shiranui Asuka to move the wounded aside before confronting You Si.
• You Si offered Yingning eternity, but Yingning refused, saying she wanted to spend her life with the person she loved.
• Yingning froze and shattered You Si’s formation, then defended herself against You Si’s Reverse Wind and Reversed Flowing Fire.
• You Si said she had created the techniques by combining the Five Elements Art with the Time Spell, and Yingning angrily called her claim nonsense.

Yingning fought You Si and recognized her Time Five Elements Art, but the Black Monks interrupted and joined You Si against her. With Yingning and the others in danger, Du Yu considered Xie Yujiao’s hidden connection to the Legends and warned her that he would never forgive her if she harmed his friends.

• Yingning countered You Si’s Winter Flowers in Summer and named the other Time Five Elements Art techniques You Si had developed.
• Black Monks descended and called You Si their mother, then agreed to help her kill Yingning and the others.
• Dong Qianqiu asked Du Yu how they could stop You Si, and Du Yu considered whether Xie Yujiao could connect the Legends across spacetime.
• Du Yu warned Xie Yujiao that if she hurt his friends, he would hate her forever, leaving Shiranui Asuka startled by his grave words.

At the foot of Mount Buzhou, You Si stopped herself from killing Yingning after a mysterious influence stirred memories of her past as Xie Yujiao, then flew away from the battle. At the Legend Management Bureau, the Soul-Summoning Device returned the Weaver Girl’s soul as the battle on the screen erupted into catastrophe.

• Two black monks seized Yingning, but You Si’s attack vanished when an unknown voice compelled her not to kill Yingning.
• You Si ordered the monks to release Yingning and admitted that she was Xie Yujiao, whose memories were returning.

• Sage’s axe strike split Mount Buzhou and left him unconscious after Xingtian departed his body.
• The Dragon-Subduing Arhat realized Sage had targeted the mountain and ordered the monks to channel their power into repairing it.
• Du Yu saw the crack in the sky disappear and learned from Xiao Qi that the Legend had been interrupted because they lacked enough fighting power.
• Gonggong and Zhurong discussed Sage’s attack, while the Flame Emperor warned that Mount Buzhou’s fall would bring misery to all living creatures.

• The Yellow Emperor proposed that he and the Flame Emperor join forces to shatter Mount Buzhou and accept the consequences themselves.

The Yellow Emperor and Flame Emperor agreed to unite their tribes and assault Mount Buzhou, with Gonggong volunteering to bear responsibility for breaking the Pillar of Heaven. As the battle began, You Si tried to stop time and claim the dying “Sage” as the new “Time,” but Dragon-Subduing Arhat confronted her.

• The Flame Emperor told the Yellow Emperor he had never sought the world and offered to merge the Jiang Tribe with the Xuanyuan Clan after the battle.
• Gonggong volunteered to deliver the final blow against the Pillar of Heaven, despite Houtu pleading with him not to violate the Heavenly Laws again.

• Dragon-Subduing Arhat broke free from Houtu and Du Kang, flew to You Si, and called her “Mother” as he demanded to know what she was doing.

You Si tried to turn the Sage into time, but Subduing Dragon and Cangjie stood in her way. As they fought to stop her, You Si broke through and reached A Can, claiming she could save the Sage.

• Subduing Dragon confronted You Si and revealed that Great Dark Heaven had ordered his followers to kill both the Sage and anyone trying to turn the Sage into time.
• You Si remembered Black Shakyamuni and insisted that the young man below was important to her, but she ignored Subduing Dragon and began casting a black array over the Sage.
• Cangjie disrupted the array with powerful written characters and explained that the Yellow Emperor had sent him to protect the wounded.
• You Si and Cangjie argued over her past killings and her search for a candidate, while Subduing Dragon caught up and joined the fight.
• You Si slipped past Cangjie and Subduing Dragon, appeared before A Can, and shouted that she could save the Sage.

You Si failed to reach the Sage before the soul-summoning formation took him away, while Du Yu and his allies joined Yinglong to hold off the Black Monks. The monks targeted Du Yu and Xie Yujiao, leaving the group to face another battle on Dragon Ancestor Island.

• You Si tried to reach the dying Sage, but A Can, A Kui, and their allies stopped her and drove her away.
• A Can and A Kui pulled Houtu clear as the great soul-summoning formation activated and carried the Sage away.
• Du Yu and his allies saw Yinglong faltering and decided to help him buy time until Nüwa manifested.
• Du Yu attacked the Black Monks alongside Yinglong, while their leader ordered half the monks to target Xie Yujiao.
• Du Yu told his companions to split between protecting him and Xie Yujiao, then realized that Liu Ling, Shiranui Asuka, and Xiao Nian had followed him while Jin Jianglang, A Can, and A Kui guarded her.
