• Three months later, vast Spiritual Qi vortices and three Core Formation phenomena formed above the peaks, while Shi Jian watched in silence.
• Lei Zhen, Lei Bao, and Lei Kuang faced the surging Spiritual Qi and lightning, declaring that they willingly went to their deaths for the Lightning Bear Line.

Fifty years after the Hunter Decree, the Myriad Demon Domain had grown stronger as its resources and brutal clan rules reshaped the land. White Crane and Shi Jian oversaw the breakthroughs of two new Golden Core generals, leaving the Feather Crane and Lightning Bear lines with new leaders.

• Lei Qiong emerged from Kuang Lightning Peak after refining Azure Lightning Fierce Profound Qi and reaching Golden Core.
• Shi Jian appointed Lei Qiong head of the Lightning Bear Line and stabilized his foundation with Purple Pivot Lightning.

Over fifty years, two Heaven and Earth Qi Dynamics produced new Demon Generals: the Six-Winged Golden Cicada claimed Heavenly One True Water Qi, and Old Gray swallowed Fire Cloud Earth Core Qi and became a Golden Core bear. Shi Jian named him Flame Brown Bear and established the sixth bear branch, while the Myriad Demon Domain’s power grew; Shi Jian then turned his attention toward the human nations and the missing Purple Yang.

• The Six-Winged Golden Cicada fought through rival aquatic demons, claimed Heavenly One True Water Qi, and emerged three months later as an Early Golden Core Demon General.
• Old Gray fought through the fire-element demons, swallowed Fire Cloud Earth Core Qi, and survived a year of burning flames to break through to Early Golden Core.
• Shi Jian named Old Gray Flame Brown Bear and allowed him to establish the sixth branch of the bear tribes.

• Shi Jian wondered whether the four human nations had recovered and whether Purple Yang of the Supreme Purity Sect had truly died, and decided to investigate further.

Shi Jian warned White Crane that the Human Race would outgrow the demons if left in peace, so he visited the human clans living in the Myriad Demon Domain and gave their leaders a method that bound them to demonic control.

• Shi Jian explained that the method placed practitioners’ lives, deaths, and souls under demon control, and the clan leaders agreed to practice it.

After Shi Jian departed, Sun Chengzu and the five great clans embraced the Heavenly Demon Sainthood Transformation Instruction, turning deathsworn into powerful half-demons and forming the Heavenly Demon Guard. Acting on orders from Purple Firmament Peak, the guards infiltrated human territory and raided a Supreme Purity Sect iron mine, where one killed the Foundation Establishment cultivator Chen Yan.

• Sun Xingtian sent his Divine Sense into the fragment and sensed an ancient giant beast’s immense Yao Qi, suspecting the fragment held an inheritance from a High Antiquity Demon Cultivator.

Sun Xingtian discovered a High Antiquity half-demon cultivation method and overcame the temptation to keep it for himself, then presented it to Shi Jian. Shi Jian rewarded him and planned to use the Heavenly Demon Guard to weaken the Human Race further.

• Sun Xingtian learned that the Greater Yin Star Refining Instruction could lead to the Nascent Soul realm and increase the chance of forming a core without Qi by ten percent.

The One Qi Dao Gate learned that the Myriad Demon Domain had overrun Yellow Sand Pass and Demon-Suppressing Pass, and it called on the other major sects for aid. The Supreme Purity Sect, Grand Purity Sect, and Righteous Qi Gate each refused, leaving the One Qi Dao Gate to face the invasion alone.

• True Person Minghe reported to True Lord Wenxuan that Yellow Sand Pass and Demon-Suppressing Pass had fallen, Qingding and other cultivators were dead, and six Golden Core Demon Generals led a massive beast tide.
• True Lord Wenxuan ordered mobilization across Huang Province, rang the Great Void Bell, and sent urgent requests for help to the Grand Purity Sect, the Supreme Purity Sect, and the Righteous Qi Gate.

True Lord Wenxuan mobilized the Profound Truth Kingdom’s forces to defend six strongholds in central Huang Province, while the Demon Race transformed eastern Huang Province into demon land. The chapter left the humans facing a growing threat as the demons prepared to advance cautiously toward their defenses.

• True Lord Wenxuan ordered twelve Golden Core True Persons and the sect elders to defend six central Huang Province strongholds with the Six Harmonies Heaven-Locking Grand Array.

Shi Jian and White Crane decided to halt the advance in Huang Province and hold a standoff with the One Qi Dao Gate while weakening the Human Race over time. Shu Changfeng broke through to the Golden Core realm and was elevated to a superior race, while Shi Jian and White Crane looked toward the dangers beyond their current world.

As the city flourished and the defensive array weakened, twelve Golden Core True Persons in Red Rock City faced a war they could neither contain nor control.

• Li Cangwu urged three elderly Foundation Establishment cultivators to betray the One Qi Dao Gate and join Heavenly Demon City in exchange for Holy Blood and a second life.
• Over the next year, cultivators vanished from the defensive line, array nodes were sabotaged, and rumors of turning into a Demon spread across central Huang Province.

• True Person Iron Stone and True Person Chihuo discussed escalating defections, stolen array diagrams, and the black-market trade sustaining Heavenly Demon City.
• The twelve Golden Core True Persons concluded that the One Qi Dao Gate had lost the initiative, with the defensive line compromised and the Demon Generals blocking any advance.
