The group finally breaks through the barrier and finds out that the demon lord has left them. They wonder what the point of searching for him is, after all, they represent calamity, disaster, and evil. They also wonder if jiuchen has lied to him about the great catastrophe that is about to occur in the land of taihuang. The demon lord asks the group to tell him what they have learned for the last few days. He wants to know everything about the flower demon, the mother of yeli, and the demon king's plan to destroy the land. There are no offerings for the sacrifice, and now there is none, except for one. He asks if they have let him down, and they say that they have. He tells them that the flame is the disastrous flame, and that he intends to destroy half the heavens with one hand. He says that he is the strongest of the three realms and that his bloodline is more ancient than ten thousand other gods. He explains that he has always wanted to see yeli and that the sun and the moon will be his witnesses for his destruction of the land
