Snow Eagle Lord Episode 40 (Ending) Recap
> Snow Eagle Lord Recap
Pu Yangbo and Kong Youyue received a message from Wu Cang requesting support for Pinghu City. Suspecting a major incident, they hurried back ahead, while Yu Jingqiu stayed behind to wait for Dongbo Xueying. Meanwhile, in the parallel world, Dongbo Xueying wrestled with his decision. Despite the warmth of the life around him, he knew he could not abandon his true companions and the people of the Dragon Mountain Empire.
He resolved that he had to return to his own world. The Yu Jingqiu of that parallel world did not want Dongbo Xueying to leave, offering him the Dragon Mountain Emperor’s God of War Armor to persuade him to stay. As Dongbo Xueying touched the armor, he experienced a vision of the Mo Xue couple, who had fought and died alongside the Xia Clan against the demons.
This experience led him to a realization: the quest for the armor was born of inner weakness, a desire for external help to overcome challenges. But true strength, he understood, comes from within, enabling one to face failure without fear. With this clarity, he successfully passed the test and walked out of the Red Stone Barrier. Yu Jingqiu was waiting for Dongbo Xueying when he emerged from the Gate of Time and Space.
He apologized for making her wait and promised not to disappear again. He then paid his respects to the Master of the Red Stone Mountain, who had been waiting for him. The Master expressed his pleasure at seeing someone voluntarily walk out of the barrier, noting that Dongbo Xueying had been reborn through the trial. He confirmed that the Witch Poison was gone and Dongbo Xueying's inner conflict was resolved.
The Master revealed that Dongbo Xueying had achieved the True Meaning of Star, and his abilities now far surpassed the Demigod level, reaching the Spiritual God level—the highest in the Dragon Mountain Empire. At that moment, the Six-pointed Star Fortress appeared. Nuo Nuo An announced the completion of the final crystal ball, giving her control over the city's populace and activating the fortress. The war had begun. The Xia Clan prepared for a desperate battle.
Wu Cang and Yu Feng had infiltrated the Demon Clan ranks, while Dongbo Qingshi arrived with reinforcements. Before leaving, Dongbo Xueying and his companions bid farewell to the Master and Ms. Xi Wei, and the Master entrusted the fate of the Dragon Mountain Empire to him. The battle commenced. The Great Demon God Da Er Hao, possessing the body of Chi Qiubai, taunted that the Xia Clan had no skilled fighters left.
Yu Jingqiu had already warned Dongbo Xueying that he would have to face his former master as an enemy. She urged him not to hesitate, reminding him that Chi Qiubai was no longer himself, just as her own parents' bodies had been desecrated and used by the Demon Clan. She stressed that her parents had sacrificed their lives for the Xia Clan and would not want him to show mercy to their common enemy, Da Er Hao.
Dongbo Xueying confronted Da Er Hao, who was surprised that he had broken through to the Spiritual God level despite being cursed. As they fought, Chi Qiubai's consciousness resisted from within, refusing to betray the Xia Clan. Da Er Hao mocked his struggle, gloating that he would make Dongbo Xueying witness the death of every Xia Clan warrior. Struggling for control, Chi Qiubai managed a final, decisive act.
He forced his body onto Dongbo Xueying's spear, allowing his student to strike the entity possessing him. In his final moments, Chi Qiubai’s spirit spoke to Dongbo Xueying, expressing pride at hearing him call him "Master" again. He revealed that he had pretended to join the demons to protect the Xia Clan, knowing his body would eventually be taken over. He chose to die as a member of the Xia Clan rather than become a demon.
He expressed relief at seeing Dongbo Xueying's growth, apologized for breaking their promise to fight together, and sent a final thought to his love, Xiaoxi. Empowered by his master's sacrifice, Dongbo Xueying fought on. Wu Cang and Yu Feng made their own heroic sacrifices in the battle. Yu Jingqiu was gravely wounded while protecting Dongbo Xueying.
A monstrous Ling Demonic Flower, a sacred plant of the Demon Clan that feeds on Dou Qi, appeared and trapped Dongbo Xueying, intending to absorb his power. Yu Jingqiu instructed Pu Yangbo and Kong Youyue to attack the flower while she held off Da Er Hao. Trapped and drained of energy, Dongbo Xueying fought the flower's corruption. During the struggle, Kong Youyue was fatally wounded.
Witnessing this, Dongbo Xueying, despite the immense pain, stimulated his Ancient Bloodline for a second time. He broke free, declaring that his power came from his will to protect their homeland. Harnessing his newfound strength, he unleashed a brilliant golden light and struck down Da Er Hao, utterly destroying the Demon God and preventing his revival. The oppressive demonic energy that had covered the Dragon Mountain Empire began to dissipate. The great war was over.
However, victory came at a great cost. Kong Youyue died in the battle, leaving Pu Yangbo heartbroken. Ten years passed, and the Dragon Mountain Empire prospered in peace. Pu Yangbo established a weapon workshop named after Kong Youyue and would often visit her memorial with her favorite peach-flavored pastries, sharing his thoughts and memories of her. Dongbo Xueying and Yu Jingqiu returned to Xueying Territory.
Dongbo Xueying became the new lord, and they had a son named Dongbo Nianbai, his name a tribute to the memory of his master, Chi Qiubai. Dongbo Xueying carried on his master's ideals. During the Lucky Reunion Festival, he stopped his young son from hunting a deer, teaching him that the Dragon Mountain Emperor’s vision was to create a peaceful home for the Xia Clan, not to conquer other species.
He explained that great love is born from the will to protect, and true strength is shown by protecting the weak. As Nianbai grew, he came to understand his father's words and treasured the story of his parents' heroism, recognizing that the duty and glory of every Xia Clan member was to protect their home. When he asked how to gain Transcendent power, Dongbo Xueying told him that the path lies at his feet, and the journey begins the moment he believes in himself.
