On the northern battlefield, Marquis Yongye sensed Ye Ming’s death and abandoned his fight with Li Ba to send an incarnation toward Eternal Night City. A minute earlier, Lin Fei had killed Ye Ming with a sword strike that merged Sword Twenty-Three with images of the Six Paths of Reincarnation.

• Marquis Yongye’s avatar noticed Ye Wudi standing unaffected atop the statue, and Ye Wudi asked whether he remembered him.

Marquis Yongye confronted Ye Wudi, dismissing his former status as Heavenly Emperor and forcing Feihua to surrender the Primal Life Disk. As Marquis Yongye prepared to have Youyue and Ye Wudi killed, Youyue took control of the Heavenly Demon Body, drawing the attention of Demon Lord Wuming.

• Marquis Yongye recognized Ye Wudi as the former Primordial Wilderness Heavenly Emperor and mocked his rise to Extreme Dao Attainment as a result of the Celestial Venerable of Ten Thousand Sages’ favor.

• Marquis Yongye made Feihua surrender the Primal Life Disk, then merged eleven lamps into the nearly complete postnatal Taiyin Lamp.
• Ye Wudi urged Youyue to enter the Heavenly Demon Body, and Youyue’s primordial spirit left her body and took control of the body bearing Song Wei’s appearance.
• On the northern battlefield, Demon Lord Wuming sensed the change and cried out, “Song Wei!”

Youyue used the Heavenly Demon Body to reject Marquis Yongye’s offer of forgiveness and fought Feihua, destroying her body and the Acquired Taiyin Lamp with a single strike. Marquis Yongye restored Feihua and the lamp, leaving Youyue exhausted and Ye Wudi facing the power of a Heavenly Demon expert.

• Feihua urged Youyue to surrender the Heavenly Demon Body, and Marquis Yongye promised to forgive her if she submitted.
• Youyue refused, explaining that surrender would leave her at Marquis Yongye’s mercy, and vowed to fight to the death.
• Feihua attacked Youyue with the Acquired Taiyin Lamp, but Youyue’s strike shattered the lamp, destroyed Feihua’s body, and gravely wounded her primordial spirit.
• Youyue’s primordial spirit became severely weakened after the strike, while Marquis Yongye said she could not keep fighting.
• Marquis Yongye restored Feihua, her body, and the Acquired Taiyin Lamp with his power, and Ye Wudi’s heart sank.

• Ye Wudi realized the Heavenly Demon Body could serve as the formation's core and told Youyue to shed blood to activate it.
• Youyue destroyed Feihua and killed her in both body and soul with a palm strike.
• Youyue activated the Seventy-Two Earth Fiend Configurations Yin-Gathering Formation, burning away her primordial spirit as the formation spread across the continent.
• The formation froze most of the Eternal Night Continent, including Marquis Yongye, Lin Fei, and Ji Yaoguang.
• Ye Wudi urged Youyue to channel the formation's power into an attack that struck and sealed Marquis Yongye, leaving Youyue's primordial spirit near its end.

• Ji Yaoguang stored Lin Fei's physical body in her spatial ring, and Lin Fei explained that he could control the Heavenly Demon Body without burdening his primordial spirit too much.
• At Lin Fei's request, Ye Wudi hurled him into Eternal Night City's gates, where his body smashed through the restrictions and destroyed the entrance.

• Lin Fei asked Ji Yaoguang to throw him through the next layer of restrictions, and he smashed through attackers as the group pressed onward.
• Ji Yaoguang faltered when controlled children and elders attacked her, so Ye Wudi burned them to ashes and warned through his actions that the battle left no room for mercy.

Lin Fei and his companions fought their way into the Eternal Night Palace, where Marquis Yongye turned its formations and Devil Race troops into powerful energy constructs. Lin Fei reclaimed the Heavenly Demon Body and crushed the six Earth Demon dragons with a single strike, leaving the palace in ruins.

• Lin Fei, Ji Yaoguang, and Ye Wudi charged through the Devil Race troops toward the Eternal Night Palace, with Ye Wudi hurling Lin Fei through their formation.

• Ye Wudi smashed the energy-bodied devils while Lin Fei defended Ji Yaoguang with the Six Extinctions Sword Intent.
• Six metal dragons absorbed the energy-bodied devils and rose to the Earth Demon realm, so Ye Wudi threw the Heavenly Demon Body back to Lin Fei.
• Lin Fei returned to the Heavenly Demon Body and shattered the dragons' six beams of black light and their upper bodies with one palm strike, also wrecking the Eternal Night Hall.

• Marquis Yongye challenged Lin Fei’s endurance, but Lin Fei punched through his demonic defense, exploding his arm and blasting down the city wall behind him.

• Lin Fei and the others arrived in an eerie modern city filled with towering trees and vegetation-covered skyscrapers.

Lin Fei and the Lamp-Bearing Envoys discovered that the plane had dwindled to a single city surrounded by simulated Primordial Darkness, and their route out could not be used because the fragment was too fragile. Lin Fei sent everyone to search for why the plane had shattered, then found a frightened boy who begged him to save them from ghosts.

• Lin Fei explained that the city was the last remnant of a universe fragment being consumed by Primordial Darkness, and that the Heavenly Dao left its inhabitants a chance to escape or save the plane.
• Lin Fei revealed that the Heavenly Dao Spacetime Axis could not be used because the fragment was too weak to withstand it, so he ordered everyone to search the city for survivors and clues about the plane's destruction.

• Lin Fei gave the boy candy and created a Transformers figurine to convince him he was an immortal sent to help.
• The boy begged Lin Fei to save them.

Lin Fei learned from a boy that Water Blue Star had descended into chaos as bizarre phenomena spread and the plane slipped beyond the Heavenly Dao's jurisdiction. He explained the breakdown of order and asked the boy whether he wanted to stay or go with him, while resolving to find survivors who witnessed the first changes.

• Lin Fei decided to seek survivors who had witnessed the earliest changes and asked the boy whether he wanted to stay or go outside with him.

Lin Fei investigated the strange plants that sheltered ghosts during the day, then reunited with Ji Yaoguang and the others in the last surviving city. He found its remaining people desperate and starving, and Xiangling conjured food as the survivors fought over it.

• Lin Fei carried the little boy out of the hospital and learned that the world had been swallowed by darkness, leaving only a brief, unnatural daytime.
