• The Star Emperor explained the Mind-Bewildering Poison Fog’s effects, and Yang Tian began taking the pink energy Haoyue extracted from the Demon Flowers.
• Yang Tian demonstrated the fog on Lin Xin, then explained that the flowers were level-six plant Demon Beasts and their energy could make Mind-Bewitching Elixirs.

• In Demon Capital Heart City, Feng Xiu learned that A Bao and the ten Demon Extermination Squads sent to Great Yak City were missing, and threatened to make the Six Great Temples pay if A Bao had been killed.

• Long Haochen shouted and Haoyue roared as something happened ahead.

Haoyue and the others fought a swarm of sawfish, while Yang Tian intervened when the sawfish king ambushed the group. The king’s horn was severed, but it turned to fight Yang Tian to the death.

• Haoyue, Bai Xiaoxiao, Li Ang, and the Three-Legged Crow fought the sawfish until Yating and the recovered Long Haochen and his companions joined them.

• Yang Tian empowered his sword with Divine Descent and Divine Script and severed the sawfish king’s horn.
• The wounded sawfish king lost its standing as leader and charged at Yang Tian in a fight to the death.

• Yang Tian returned to the surface carrying Jiaoxin after finding nothing else of note in the nest.

After recovering from the battle with the sawfish, Yang Tian sent Long Haochen and Bai Xiaoxiao’s teams to hunt the Snake Demon God Andromalius. They followed a lead about treasure, ambushed his snake demon forces, and continued their advance.

• Yang Tian healed the fighters and said Bai Xiaoxiao’s team could handle the wounded Snake Demon God with Yating’s help.
• Long Haochen suggested investigating the treasure because Andromalius might be searching for it, and Bai Xiaoxiao agreed.
• The teams concealed themselves and spotted a squad of about twenty snake demons hunting an anaconda.
• Long Haochen and Bai Xiaoxiao divided their forces and silently attacked the snake demons before they could send a message.
• Hanyu and the other fighters quickly killed the demons, while Cai’er and Long Haochen wiped out the rest.
• Long Haochen and Bai Xiaoxiao split the teams into two groups to surround the remaining snake demons and push deeper toward Andromalius.

Bai Xiaoxiao and Long Haochen’s Demon Hunt Squads let the Snake Demon God Andromalius and the Anaconda King clash, then attacked Andromalius’s snake guards while the two powerful foes fought. The squads wiped out every snake guard, leaving Andromalius facing the battle’s aftermath.

• Andromalius brought his Demon God Pillar and over a thousand Snake Demons to the Dark Swamp, hoping to kill the Anaconda King and gain the strength to reach the ninth tier.
• Bai Xiaoxiao and Long Haochen decided to let Andromalius and the Anaconda King weaken each other, while Yang Tian and Jiaoxin watched from an Adamantine Base.
• After Andromalius ordered his Snake Demons away from the duel, the two Demon Hunt Squads followed them and prepared to attack.
• Lan Ruyu used Jade Water Firmament to enclose the Snake Demons and prevent them from calling for help or being detected.
• Li Ang, the bald Discipline Priest, Hanyu, and the rest of the squads attacked and slaughtered all the Snake Demons.

Long Haochen’s group sent Hanyu and Cai'er to assassinate the four Medusas while the Snake Demon God Andromalius fought the Anaconda King. Yang Tian stole the Anaconda King’s Inner Core and body, leaving Andromalius wounded and surrounded by two Demon Hunt Squads and their allies.

• Bai Xiaoxiao’s team collected the demons’ bodies and Magic Crystals before returning with Lin Qingqing to watch the battle.
• Long Haochen identified the four Medusas as a threat, and Hanyu and Cai'er agreed to attack them together.
• Hanyu and Cai'er used their Spirit Furnaces and Black Spirit Wings to kill all four Medusas while Andromalius fought the Anaconda King.

• Yang Tian stole the Inner Core and the Anaconda King’s body, and the Ninth Rank Three-Legged Crow, five-headed Haoyue, two Demon Hunt Squads, and Yating surrounded the wounded Andromalius.

The Demon Hunt Squads, aided by Yang Tian, severed Andromalius's connection to the Demon God Pillar and killed the Snake Demon God. After Yang Tian claimed the Demon God's Crown and the pillar fell dormant, he warned Long Haochen that the Divine Artifact might still be useful.

• Yang Tian cut off Andromalius's connection to the Demon God Pillar, and Long Haochen directed the squads' attack.
• Li Ang, Lan Ruyu, Bai Xiaoxiao, and the others pressured Andromalius while Hanyu stabbed him in the skull with her Life-Reaping Dagger.

• A young female assassin from Marshal Rank No. 64 pierced Andromalius's heart, killing him, and Yang Tian intercepted the Demon God's Crown.
• Yang Tian used the Star Armor to make the Demon God Pillar dim, then gave the crown and Andromalius's body to Bai Xiaoxiao to distribute.
• Yang Tian told Long Haochen that the Demon God Pillar might still be useful because ordinary Divine Artifacts could not destroy it.

Yang Tian and Long Haochen argued over whether to destroy the Demon God Pillars, with Yang Tian determined to reforge them into a powerful Divine Artifact. As Yang began taking the dimmed pillar, Haoyue offered to destroy it, but a mysterious purple force suddenly appeared.

• Yang Tian told Long Haochen that he wanted to reforge the Demon God Pillars rather than destroy them, while Long Haochen argued that they had to be destroyed to end the Demon Race’s threat.
• Yang Tian explained that the pillars’ origins were connected to Haoyue and another world, and he declared that only he would decide their fate.
• Long Haochen refused to give Yang Tian a pillar and warned that reforging one could unleash even greater demonic power, so Yang Tian said they would each rely on their own abilities.
• Haoyue told Long Haochen that he could destroy the pillar if Long Haochen helped lure Yang Tian away, but Yang Tian donned his Adamantine Base Battle Armor and began collecting it with the Star Emperor’s aid.
• A five-colored Chaos Stripping spell and a destructive purple force appeared, prompting the Star Emperor to shout that something was wrong.

Long Haochen and Haoyue disrupted Yang Tian’s attempt to take the Demon God Pillar, and Haoyue’s power cracked it until it shattered. Yang Tian learned its remaining energy could still help forge a divine artifact, while Long Haochen urged him to destroy other Demon God Pillars.

• Long Haochen and Haoyue used Chaos Element Stripping and destructive power to interfere with the Star Emperor, then Haoyue charged the Demon God Pillar.
• Long Haochen explained to Lin Xin that Yang Tian wanted to forge the pillar into a divine artifact, while Lin Xin warned that Yang Tian’s fixation could drive him to sacrifice lives or himself.
• The Star Emperor said Haoyue had dismantled the pillar from within, leaving it so cracked that the slightest touch would destroy it.
• Yang Tian roared, and the Demon God Pillar shattered; the Star Emperor gathered its energy and told Yang Tian it could still improve materials for forging a divine artifact.
• Yang Tian stored the pillar’s energy in the Three Thousand Star Armor, while Long Haochen urged him to seek other materials and leave Demon God Pillars destroyed.

Yang Tian warned Long Haochen that destroying a Demon God Pillar had provoked an all-out war with the Demon Race, then led the group into the Anaconda King's cave to find the Sun-Moon Divine Snail. The snail recognized Yang Tian as a representative of the Goddess of Light and Long Haochen as the true Child of Light, and Yang Tian asked whether it would leave with them.

• Yang Tian told Long Haochen that the Demon Race would pursue Haoyue and that a holy war would continue until Haoyue died.
• Long Haochen reassured Haoyue that he trusted him, and they agreed that Haoyue should return to his original space to recover.
• Yang Tian led Long Haochen and the two Demon Hunt Squads into the cave to seek the Sun-Moon Divine Snail.
• The group followed dense light elements to the cave's depths and found the Sun-Moon Divine Snail.
• The Sun-Moon Divine Snail said Yang Tian had met the Goddess of Light before his descent, and Yang Tian asked whether it would leave with him and Long Haochen.

Yang Tian, Long Haochen, and the Sun-Moon Divine Snail discussed Electrolux’s past and the snail’s choice to sacrifice itself. Yang Tian urged the Sun-Moon Divine Snail to live for itself in its next life, travel the world, and find a companion.

• The Sun-Moon Divine Snail asked Long Haochen whether Electrolux had chosen him as his successor, and Long Haochen said he wanted the inheritance removed.
• Yang Tian described Electrolux’s devastating role in humanity’s history, while the Sun-Moon Divine Snail suggested his past might reveal another side of the story.
• Yang Tian explained the Sun-Moon Divine Snail’s history and how a false promise of immortality had led a dragon to eat one of its kind.
• Jiaoxin said eating a Sun-Moon Divine Snail could greatly extend Yang Tian’s life, and the Sun-Moon Divine Snail reflected on its kind’s fate of being eaten.
• The Sun-Moon Divine Snail offered the group fifty extra years of life, and Yang Tian urged it to live for itself in its next life and find a companion.
