After Bibi Dong confided in him and fell asleep in his arms, Dai Yao spent the night holding still, then returned to reality determined to avoid revealing his identity; a suitable spirit beast for his fifth soul ring had arrived.

• Hu Liena defeated Terror Knight Scott at Slaughter City’s entrance, then learned that the Asura Emperor was competing in his sixty-sixth killing-arena match and decided to watch him.

Dai Yao, disguised as the Asura Emperor, protected Hu Liena in Slaughter City and helped her prepare for Hell Road while concealing his identity. After a year, they had grown to trust each other and were nearing their trials when Terror Knight Scott reported that another powerful Divine Slaughter had arrived with a young man.

Dai Yao and Hu Liena crossed the first stretch of Hell Road, where Dai Yao killed the Dark Gold Three-Headed Bat King and Hu Liena saved him from falling into the abyss.

• Dai Yao urged Bibi Dong to hunt in the five less crowded districts before risking the civilian residential district, but their first day yielded only twenty zombies.
• Bibi Dong agreed that they had to enter the residential district, and the two began silently hunting small groups of zombies together.
