Gong Xiaoqiao, not wanting to implicate the demonic realm, was forced to hide the truth from Emperor Xiu and secretly returned to the celestial realm, agreeing to marry Zhou Shang.
On the wedding day, Emperor Xiu actually led the Demon Lords in an assault.
In the end, the celestial realm was defeated, they shamelessly forced him to destroy his own primordial spirit using Mo Xi as leverage.
Gong Xiaoqiao severed one of her arms and fled to the demonic army's camp, swearing to live or die with him.
After the bloody battle had ended.
Emperor Xiu, due to forcibly manipulating the demon ring, suffered demonic backlash, exhausting his last bit of essence to protect the severely injured Gong Xiaoqiao.
"Blackie... Blackie don't die... don't leave me alone, okay..."
Gong Xiaoqiao cradled his scar-riddled body in her arms, watching helplessly as he slowly became transparent.
