Episode 33 recap: Xiao Yan went to the Peak of Falling Meteor to meet with the eight clans of Zhongzhou, joining forces to battle against the Soul Palace.
Yao Chen insisted on accompanying Xiao Yan to confront Hun Mie Sheng at the Peak of Falling Meteor. Feng Xian instructed the Starfall Pavilion to give their full support, ensuring that Yao Chen and Xiao Yan would have a strong backing. Tomorrow they would go to the Peak of Falling Meteor to fight against Hun Mie Sheng. In the evening, Xiao Yan had a heartfelt conversation with Xun Er. Xun Er wished that the time they spent together tonight would never end.
Xiao Yan asked Xun Er what she would do if he wasn't the hero capable of defeating Hun Mie Sheng. Xun Er told him that in her eyes, he would always be her brother. Xiao Yan said that after this battle, he wanted Xun Er to accompany him back to the Wu Tan City because he had already informed the clan leader that he intended to marry Xun Er.
Blushing, Xun Er leaned on Xiao Yan's shoulder after hearing his words. They decided to give the name "Xiao Yi" to their new Flame, which meant the beginning of all things. Three days had passed, and Xiao Yan arrived at the agreed meeting place, the Peak of Falling Meteor. Hun Mie Sheng tried to persuade Xiao Yan to join him, stating that they were both powerful individuals and didn't need to sacrifice themselves to protect ordinary people.
Xiao Yan sternly rebuked him, stating that they couldn't cooperate because their goals were different. He made it clear that he was not alone in coming today, as he saw that the fighters from Zhongzhou had also arrived. Hun Mie Sheng smirked and said it was better this way, as he didn't have to search for them one by one. After speaking, Hun Mie Sheng activated the Void Swallowing Flame. The strong fighters of the eight clans immediately formed a defensive formation, but they soon realized that Hun Mie Sheng's strength far exceeded their expectations.
In order to protect Xiao Yan and find the eye of the formation, Yao Chen told Xiao Yan that he would take a step ahead. With these words, he fearlessly charged forward, enduring unbearable pain and coughing up blood. Meanwhile, Xiao Yan fell into an illusion where he saw the deceased Bai Shan and the dean of Jia Ma Academy. He even heard the guidance of his father, Xiao Zhan.
Xiao Yan knew that once the intentional flashes of light ceased, he would never see his father again. Xiao Yan told Hun Mie Sheng that today he would discuss his doctrine of tyranny and was willing to die rather than yield. Xiao Yan used his new Flame to defeat Hun Mie Sheng's Void Swallowing Flame in one strike. Suddenly, Hun Mie Sheng fell to the ground in despair. Everyone believed that he had been defeated, but he suddenly disappeared into the abyss.
In the midst of everyone's astonishment, Xiao Yan suddenly realized that it was Hun Mie Sheng's scheme. The flame within the formation was not the Void Swallowing Flame; it was just a subsidiary fire. The real Void Swallowing Flame was Hun Mie Sheng himself. He had lured Xiao Yan to use his strongest Flame against him, intending to trade his own life for the awakening of the Void Swallowing Flame.
As a massive pillar of light shot out from the ground, Gu Yuan also discovered that the eye of the formation was actually in the sky. Following his gaze, everyone saw the seal that Xiao Xuan had placed on Hun Tian Di years ago. Gu Yuan quickly led everyone away from the scene, but the immense power unleashed by the Void Swallowing Flame once again devastated the land of Zhongzhou.
Hun Tian Di broke free from the seal and emerged. His first action was to seek out Gu Yuan. Gu Yao stepped forward to confront Hun Tian Di but was knocked down. After obtaining Gu Yuan, Hun Tian Di grinned and declared that the heavens and earth would ultimately belong to him. Xiao Yan arrived just in time to save Xun Er, but Gu Yao fell to Hun Tian Di's hands and died.
With Hun Tian Di's reappearance, the Four Pavilions and Dan Tower in Zhongzhou were repeatedly attacked and occupied by the Soul Palace. The ancient eight clans swore to fight against the Soul Palace until the end. Xiao Yan stated that it wasn't the final moment yet. Gu Yuan expressed concern, saying that if Hun Tian Di found the Emperor's Tomb and used Gu Yuan to open it, he would be able to cultivate the Emperor Grade Pupil Pill and ascend to the rank of the Emperor.
To devise a plan, they needed to find the Emperor's Tomb before him. Xiao Yan decided to go to the Tian Tomb again to search for clues. However, when Xiao Yan arrived at the Tian Tomb, he couldn't find the ancestral elder of the Xiao clan. He fell into contemplation, unsure if he should lead everyone to their deaths. Suddenly, the clan marks of the eight clans appeared before Xiao Yan, and the voice of an elder sounded, saying that unity brings benefits while division leads to destruction.
Xiao Yan emerged and informed everyone that as long as the eight clans united, they could establish a connection with Gu Yuan, giving them a chance. As Hun Tian Di prepared to open the Emperor's Tomb with Gu Yuan, Tuo She Gu Di appeared before them. Xiao Yan saw the Primordial Void Dragon and assured everyone that they would win this time.
Upon witnessing the abnormal celestial phenomenon, Jia Ma Academy knew that the Dou Qi continent was facing a calamity. They immediately informed the elder in charge of defense. Queen She Cai Lin also arrived in time to fight the revered elders of the Soul Palace. Xiao Yan and the others went to Jia Ma Academy and urged the dean to evacuate the students. According to Gu Yuan's guidance, the Emperor's Tomb was located beneath the Tian Fen Qi Refining Tower.
Xiao Yan led everyone to the underground magma world beneath the Tian Fen Qi Refining Tower, but the Primordial Void Dragon guarding the ancient tomb refused to let them in without Gu Yuan. Zi Yan desperately called for her father, but the Primordial Dragon Emperor, corrupted by the Soul Palace over the years, no longer recognized her. He emphasized that those without Gu Yuan would be mercilessly killed and prohibited from entering. Helplessly, everyone watched as he allowed Hun Tian Di to enter, ultimately obtaining the Emperor Grade Pupil Pill.
