• Gu Xian severed the black-robed man's arm and forced him to reveal that the Blood Lotus Ghost Market served a master from beyond the Great Thousand World, but a soul restriction made the man explode before he could finish.
• Gu Xian trapped the explosion, captured the remaining black wisp, and learned that its coordinates pointed to the Blood Lotus Ghost Market deep in the Black Abyss Continent.
• Gu Xian refused to escort the injured Leng Shuang and her surviving junior sisters, then followed the coordinates to the market's abyssal entrance.
• Gu Xian killed a captured demon-mutated prisoner, took his place in a chained procession, and entered the underground city hidden inside the rift.

• The Heavenly Demon Emperor, revealed to have escaped Su Changqing by detonating most of his origin and using the Heavenly Demon Disintegration Art, fed on a dead demonic beast in a remote Lower Plane.

The Heavenly Demon Emperor rebuilt his body in Tang San’s likeness and began feeding on people in the lower plane to recover his strength. After reaching Greenstone City, he targeted the ailing patriarch of the Zhao Family as a chance to gain access to powerful blood and resources, but the family’s guards mocked him when he offered to treat the patriarch.

• The Heavenly Demon Emperor recreated a weak human body resembling Tang San and decided to rebuild his power by devouring the lower plane’s inhabitants.
• Tang San killed four bandits on the mountain road, absorbed their bloodline power, and took a Greenstone token toward Greenstone City.
• Tang San entered Greenstone City and overheard that the Zhao Family was offering a reward to cure its dying patriarch, a late-stage Divine Soul Realm expert.
• Tang San decided to use the Zhao Family’s illness and resources to restore his cultivation, then went to the family residence to claim the reward.
• A Zhao Family guard barred Tang San from entering and ridiculed him when he calmly said he had come to take up the reward notice.

Tang San found that Zhao Family's old master was afflicted by pure royal Demonic Energy and demanded the old man as payment for curing him.

The Heavenly Evil God's incarnation entered the Lower Plane to retrieve his hidden Evil Bone, while Tang San devoured the Zhao Family's old master and took his identity. After sensing the Heavenly Evil God in Greenstone City, Tang San rushed out to meet his god, as the Sky Screen showed the Douluo Continent that the original Tang San was truly gone.

• The Heavenly Evil God created a white-clothed incarnation and sent it to explore the Great Thousand World while the Saint Heavenly Demon Emperor accepted that he had only three years to live.

• The White-Clothed Youth froze Huo Chen, Wu Tong, and Gu Xuan in space, crushed them into blood mist, and devoured them while Tang San bowed in awe.

Su Changqing, Xiao Yan, and Lin Dong exposed the Heavenly Evil God's clone as bait and forced his true body to emerge from the Demon Domain. As the Heavenly Evil God tore through the Great Thousand World's barrier and threatened to destroy it, the three Half-Step Rulers met his power head-on while the realms watched and prepared to support them.

• Su Changqing called on the Heavenly Evil God to leave the Demon Domain, and Xiao Yan and Lin Dong revealed that they had been waiting for his true body rather than fighting his clone.

• The Grand Elder ordered the Endless Fire Domain to activate every Spirit Array and support its Domain Lord, Xiao Yan, as the Martial Realm's disciples stood firm under the pressure.

• The Heavenly Evil God pressed down harder on Xiao Yan, Lin Dong, and Su Changqing while aiming his other hand's demonic saber at the Great Thousand World's barrier.

As the Great Thousand World prepared for the coming invasion, the Heavenly Evil God’s forces began plans to harvest Lower Planes and activate a hidden pawn, while the chapter ended as something stirred in Ancestor Futu’s chamber.

• Su Changqing vanished from the battlefield and stabbed the Heavenly Evil God’s middle eye, but his sword barely penetrated before the demon god struck him away and regenerated the eye.
• The Heavenly Evil God judged that fighting the three Half-Step Rulers could damage his weakened body, so he withdrew and promised not to enter the Great Thousand World for five years.
• Xiao Yan, Lin Dong, and Su Changqing agreed that one of them needed to become a Ruler within five years, then returned to the Great Thousand World to prepare.

The Heaven-Slaying Alliance imposed harsh military rule across the lower planes while Su Changqing pursued a way to sever the Heavenly Evil God's cause and effect. Qing Yanjing obtained the World Heart Wood for the World-Protecting Great Formation, unaware that Ancestor Futu was possessed by the Heavenly Evil God and had corrupted the wood.

• The Heaven-Slaying Alliance occupied Douluo Continent, conscripted powerful soul masters, seized resources, and killed the Red-Clothed Cardinal for hiding supplies.
• Su Changqing explained to Lin Dong that he was learning to sever the cause rather than merely cut down its effects, and Lin Dong saw the wood's growth rings burn away when Su Changqing split it.
• Qing Yanjing struggled to find an array core that could bear the Great Thousand World's fortune and went to Ancestor Futu for help.
