Yun Che and Xiao Hua discussed the Devil Race’s reason for besieging the Void and considered whether it sought the souls of the dead or pursued another goal. Yun Che then revealed that the Divine Blade Sect’s lost founding purpose might match the Devil Race’s, and asked Xiao Hua to ally with the sect.

• Yun Che showed Xiao Hua images of twenty-one Devil Emperors, and Xiao Hua identified the one he had encountered as a different, twenty-second devil body.
• Xiao Hua proposed that the Devil Race was gathering wandering souls, and Yun Che recalled that Liu Wuxie had long suspected the same.

• The Misty Sect staged a grand welcome for Xiao Hua, and Liu Wuxie greeted him from a ribbon of light.

Xiao Hua visited Misty Sect, where Sect Leader Liu Wuxie and her cultivators questioned him about his origins and his hundred thousand Creation Sect disciples. Their reaction to his Kunlun Mirror raised doubts about whether his treasure was genuine, and Xiao Hua left the question unresolved.

• Liu Wuxie welcomed Xiao Hua to Misty Sect with its elders and hall masters, then led him into a flower-filled palace.

• Xiao Hua showed them his Kunlun Mirror, prompting the cultivators to mistake it for either the Haotian Mirror or Kunlun Mirror and Liu Wuxie to shield the hall.
• Liu Wuxie explained that the Wenchang Sacred Realm and Qitian Dao Realm each possessed an identical supreme treasure, leaving Xiao Hua wondering whether his own mirror was an imitation.

• Xiao Hua recounted the battles at White Cloud Temple and Yongan Mountain, including how the Jianhuo Clan had turned Yongan Mountain's disciples into zombies.

• Xiao Hua asked where the Misty Sect's powerful predecessors were, and Liu Wuxie explained that the Moon God Palace's rules and the Ruins' limited resources compelled them to leave.

Xiao Hua watched the Misty Sect activate its enormous protective formations as the Devil Race’s invasion began. The Demon Emperor appeared, killed Misty Sect disciples with its demonic illusions, and then unleashed torrents of blood and flames at the fortresses.

• Liu Wuxie showed Xiao Hua how the Shi Tu Condensing Soul Formation and Ji Shui Washing Heart Formation united across the Misty Sect, lifting its cities into fortified structures.
• Xiao Hua offered to teach the Misty Sect both formations, and Liu Wuxie promised the sect would pay him after the Devils were defeated.
• One hundred and eight bone Devils struck demonic drums, shaking the formations and killing some disciples before the formations’ powers of earth, plants, and water recovered.
• The Demon Emperor appeared above the blood sea and used seductive demonic patterns to drive some Misty Sect disciples to kill themselves.
• Xiao Hua destroyed the demonic patterns with lightning, but the Demon Emperor avoided fighting him and sent flames and rivers of blood raining toward the Misty Sect’s fortresses.

Their attacks damaged and briefly overwhelmed the Demon Emperor, but he countered their strongest spells and weapons until Xiao Hua's Soaring Flood Dragon Scissors severed his left calf.

• Xiao Hua and Liu Wuxie agreed to lure the Demon Emperor into the Ji Shui Washing Heart Formation and attacked him as the Misty Sect disciples fought the Devil Race.
• Xiao Hua used thunder to expose the Demon Emperor and struck with sword light, but the Demon Emperor's spatial distortion shredded the attack and sent a spatial fissure at him.

• The Demon Emperor countered their attacks with a giant bone and a devil head that swallowed the Kunlun Mirror's light.
• Xiao Hua launched the Soaring Flood Dragon Scissors, which severed the Demon Emperor's left calf.

Xiao Hua and Liu Wuxie fought a Demon Emperor inside the blood formation, and Xiao Hua appeared to kill him with a lightning spear. He discovered too late that the battle had been an illusion and that a second Demon Emperor of the Jianhuo Clan had ambushed him.

• Xiao Hua wounded the Demon Emperor, then expanded into a thousand-zhang Dharma body and clashed with the devil’s spatial attacks.
• Liu Wuxie drew a wooden sword from the colossal tree and broke the Demon Emperor’s bone weapon, but its fragments turned into devil kings that attacked her.
• Xiao Hua struck the Demon Emperor with a fist of true qi and Vast Righteous Qi, then pierced his body with a lightning spear.
• As the blood formation collapsed, Xiao Hua realized the Demon Emperor had seemed weaker than expected and opened the Eye of Delusion Breaking.
• A hidden attacker burned Xiao Hua’s back and shattered his vision of the battle, revealing that a second Jianhuo Clan Demon Emperor had used an illusion to conceal his assassination attempt.

Xiao Hua and Liu Wuxie fought two Devil Emperors amid the Misty Sect’s battle, while powerful Celestial Zombie shells turned the tide against them. Xiao Hua confronted the Jianhuo Clan Devil Emperor in a headless puppet and ended the chapter trading blows with it.

• Xiao Hua escaped an illusion and found Liu Wuxie fighting devils as he struggled to resist the devilish patterns on his back.
• A blood cocoon formed from the Jianhuo Clan Devil Emperor’s bloody filth, while another Devil Emperor attacked Liu Wuxie and she countered with a seed, vines, and a wooden sword.
• Zombie Cultivators appeared and broke the Misty Sect disciples’ stalemate, prompting Xiao Hua to hurry toward the Jianhuo Clan Devil Emperor.

• Xiao Hua charged the Celestial Zombie with his As-You-Wish Staff, and the Devil Emperor met his assault with its spear, hammer, and shield.

Xiao Hua faced two Demon Emperors while Liu Wuxie fought the other, and he used Demon Blade Shi to wound one and drive the other away. The Demon Emperor escaped after injuring Liu Wuxie, and Xiao Hua vanished inside the demonic formation.

• The headless Celestial Zombie unleashed a bloodline attack, but Xiao Hua countered it with green seal characters and made the Celestial Zombie recognize Blood Devouring Essence Control.
• A spatially skilled Demon Emperor attacked Xiao Hua from behind while the headless Celestial Zombie joined in, but Xiao Hua transformed into a demon and struck them with Demon Blade Shi.

• The remaining Demon Emperor shattered Xiao Hua’s pursuing attack, then escaped after launching a surprise strike that injured Liu Wuxie.
• Liu Wuxie searched the demonic formation for Xiao Hua but could not find him.

After Xiao Hua’s demonic blade forced the Devil Race to retreat from Misty Sect, Liu Wuxie and her disciples debated his origins and feared a hidden conspiracy. Xiao Hua had disappeared, and the chapter revealed that the blade’s backlash was overwhelming his temperament as he fell into a demonic transformation.

• Liu Wuxie watched the Devil Race withdraw after Xiao Hua’s blade injured two Devil Emperors and saved Misty Sect.
• Liu Wuxie’s disciples argued over whether Xiao Hua was a human ally or a Devil Race agent, while she ordered Vice Sect Leader Lian to manage the sect and told everyone not to spread rumors.
• Vice Sect Leader Lian and the disciples realized they did not know where Xiao Hua had gone, and the Misty Sect began restoring its defenses and order.
• Xiao Hua’s repeated use of Demon Blade Shi had carved demonic nature into his temperament, despite his efforts to direct the backlash into Demon Spirit Xiao Hua.
• After fighting the two Devil Emperors, Xiao Hua’s golden body contracted as demonic armor and a helmet formed around him, and he unconsciously drew two demonic hammers.

After being wounded by Huang Gong and swept along with the retreating Devil Race, Xiao Hua awakened inside a Demonic Qi passageway and discovered that he had followed it beyond the Void’s Earth Fire Wind Thunder into a vast Demon Formation. He recognized that the formation trapped the Void and crippled its defenses, then entered a bloodstream with his squad as he searched for a way forward.

• Huang Gong and Huang Qiong withdrew their Demon Formation from Pingjiang, and Xiao Hua’s demon body was carried away with the retreating Devil Race.
• Starlight and moonlight weakened the demonic control over Xiao Hua, and he concealed his aura rather than risk breaking out while gravely injured.
• Xiao Hua followed the Devil Race through Earth Fire Wind Thunder and emerged into a vast blood-sphere Demon Formation beyond the Void.
• Xiao Hua observed that the Demon Formation sealed the Void’s space, disabled Teleportation Arrays, and let the Devil Race move freely throughout the realm.
• A Demonic Beast carried Xiao Hua’s squad into a bloodstream, where the Demonic Qi diluted the demonic blood and flame contending with his innate True Qi.

Xiao Hua was swept through a demonic array that used rivers of blood to restore Devil Race warriors and train them through successive battles. After the array returned him to a vast formation, he recognized a Demon General from his past and sensed that the blood sphere below might be a primordial magnetic array, just as its banners marked him with a blood thread.

• Xiao Hua entered the blood river and was carried through a layered space where Devil Race members recovered their strength.
• A vortex pulled Xiao Hua into successive levels, where he fought increasingly powerful Demon Generals and realized the array was tempering Devil Race warriors.
• Xiao Hua collected a crystal thread containing the essence blood of slain Devil Race members and later drew demonic blood into his space.
• The array carried Xiao Hua back into the main formation, where he recognized a Demon General he had encountered during a past rescue mission.
• Xiao Hua suspected the blood sphere resembled Metal-Wood Primordial Magnetism as thousands of Devil Race members gathered around it.
• Several Demon Generals waved their banners and sent blood threads to the gathered warriors, including Xiao Hua.

Xiao Hua watched a Void Refinement cultivator get captured by the devil formation, then confronted the Demon General who had lured him into the trap. The general revealed that he was named Di Shitian and identified his Devil Race and Emperor, but knew little about the invasion or how to break the formation.

• A Void Refinement cultivator emerged from a teleportation passage and fought the Demon Generals, but Yuanmagnetic force dragged him into the blood sphere.
• The Demon General familiar to Xiao Hua ordered the others to attack the cultivator, then targeted Xiao Hua with blood pillars infused with Yuanmagnetic extreme force.
• Xiao Hua broke through the attack, seized the Demon General, and asked whether he knew Zhang Qingxiao and recognized Xiao Hua.
• The Demon General said his awkward original name was Ya and that he had given himself the name Di Shitian; he admitted he had recognized Xiao Hua and plotted to kill him.
• Di Shitian told Xiao Hua that he belonged to the Mayfly Race, whose Devil Emperor was Emperor Gong, and that he knew of the Jianhuo Clan and Qiujia Race.
• Di Shitian claimed he did not know how to break the devil formation, and Xiao Hua threatened him for trying to limit the number of questions.

Xiao Hua entered the primordial magnetism blood sphere, discovered it contained Wood-Water Primordial Magnetism, and rescued a trapped cultivator before escaping the formation. As he headed toward Xu disguised as a Devil Race member, a strange devil sense detected him and he vanished in a flash of radiance.

• Xiao Hua spared Di Shitian, then entered the primordial magnetism blood sphere while she warned him about the devil banner.
• Xiao Hua fought through the blood devil heads and reached the Wood-Water Primordial Magnetism space, where he found the young cultivator trapped by its force.
• Xiao Hua used the Kunlun Mirror to take the helpless cultivator inside, collected Wood Marrow Li Crystal and Water Yuan Ice Marrow, and escaped the blood sphere.
• Xiao Hua disguised himself as a Devil Race member and headed toward Xu, but a strange devil sense detected him.
• Xiao Hua shed his disguise in a burst of radiance and vanished amid the Devil Race.

Xiao Hua escaped the demon formation through a passage opened by the Kunlun Mirror, with Huang Gong and a Devil Emperor pursuing him. Outside, he and Yang Chong sought entry into Xu’s World Protecting Great Formation, but the cultivator guarding it reacted strangely when he saw Xiao Hua.

• Xiao Hua discovered that the demon formation’s spirit was blocking his teleportation while the Devil Emperor pursued him.
• Xiao Hua used the Kunlun Mirror to open a passage through the blood formation and escape the demon formation; Huang Gong followed after him.
• Xiao Hua emerged beyond the demon formation, released Yang Chong, and learned that they stood before Xu’s World Protecting Great Formation.
• Yang Chong sent a communication talisman into the formation and assured Xiao Hua that they would be safe inside.
• A white-haired cultivator appeared to answer Yang Chong’s request but looked directly at Xiao Hua without opening the formation, making Xiao Hua wary.

Xiao Hua and Yang Chong were denied entry to the Void’s World Protecting Great Formation, so Xiao Hua found a hidden breach in the devil formation and escaped through it. After emerging near Pingjiang, he released Yang Chong and asked him to explain the Primordial Starburst threatening the Void.

• The cultivator guarding the World Protecting Great Formation refused to admit Xiao Hua, while Yang Chong chose to trust him and revealed that the Moon God Realm might have suffered a Primordial Starburst.
• Yang Chong urged the guard to pass the warning to the Void’s sects, and the guard promised to report it to the Council Hall before withdrawing.
• Xiao Hua took Yang Chong into the Kunlun Mirror and escaped the pursuing Devil Emperor through an Earth Fire Wind Thunder where the devil formation had once breached the Void.
• The Devil Emperor discovered Xiao Hua had used the hidden passage and complained that the humans would find the flaw as the World Protecting Great Formation sealed it.
• Xiao Hua emerged from the Earth Fire Wind Thunder near Pingjiang, released Yang Chong, and asked him about the Primordial Starburst.

Xiao Hua returned to the Misty Sect after rescuing Yang Chong and demanded to know why Liu Wuxie had doubted him. Yang Chong’s warning about a coming Primordial Starburst persuaded Xiao Hua to enter the sect’s hall and hear the grave news.

• Yang Chong told Xiao Hua that a Primordial Starburst could reach Xu within ten thousand years, and Xiao Hua set out with him for Pingjiang.
• Xiao Hua lost his way, met Yang Haoya, and learned from him how to reach the Misty Sect.
• Xiao Hua and Yang Chong returned to Pingjiang, where the Misty Sect disciples greeted Xiao Hua with gratitude and reverence.
• Xiao Hua confronted Vice Sect Leader Lian about Liu Wuxie’s absence and learned that she was healing from injuries sustained in battle with a Devil Emperor.
• Yang Chong revealed that he had brought news more serious than the Devil Race, and Xiao Hua agreed to join the Misty Sect cultivators in Yuxiang Hall.
