Demon Venerable Slayer emerged from the Blood Fiend Spiritual Pearl and devoured the forty-nine devil cultivators and the gathered bloodline, soul, and yin astral power. After several years, Xiao Hua and Slayer collected the remaining pearls and prepared to head to the Wumeng Mountain Range, leaving Demon Venerable Ju’s remains for Zhang Qingxiao.

Demon Venerable Slayer recovered the missing tip of Demon Blade Shi, revealing a fragment of its Heaven and Earth Law in Xiao Hua’s arm and prompting Xiao Hua to speculate that all things were formed from Laws. Sacred light then emerged from beneath Demon Venerable Ju’s remains and attacked his devil body, and Demon Venerable Slayer prepared to destroy the holy artifact producing it.

• Demon Blade Shi’s missing tip emerged from the demonic qi and joined the broken blade fused with Demon Venerable Slayer.
