• Mu Chen departed for the depths of the Great Thousand World, while Xiao Yan and Lin Dong asked Su Changqing how he would break through without that fortune; Su Changqing looked toward the Lower Planes without answering.

Su Changqing stopped the Heavenly Evil God's attack with his karmic swordsmanship but lacked the power to kill him, so the Great Thousand World's forces withdrew to prepare for a prolonged war. Meanwhile, Mu Chen began searching for the remaining Primordial Dharma Bodies and arrived at the Tai Ling Ancient Clan to claim the Tai Ling Sacred Body's origin manifestation.

Xiao Lin, Lin Jing, and Xiao Xiao were nearly killed by the Shadow Devil Emperor inside his formation before Su Changqing struck him down from the distant Starry Sky Defense Line with a sword guided by karma. The three survivors realized that Su Changqing’s Karmic Sword Intent had crossed the planes and ignored the formation’s barriers.

• Xiao Lin, Lin Jing, and Xiao Xiao refused to abandon each other and fought the Shadow Devil Emperor while searching for a way out of the Spirit-Severing Heaven-Locking Formation.
• The Shadow Devil Emperor used the darkness to ambush and kill most of the death warriors, leaving Xiao Lin, Lin Jing, and Xiao Xiao badly wounded and nearly out of Spiritual Energy.
• Lin Jing prepared to detonate the Ancestor Stone, but Xiao Lin refused to let her sacrifice herself, and the Shadow Devil Emperor appeared with a killing blow.
