As the Heavenly Net prepared to raid the Dark Cult's base, Wang Jixuan formed a plan to capture Pillar-Class Blade Beasts and use their strength to fight back.

• Wang Jixuan released the strange soul and began using its soul power to control the Pillar-Class Blade Beast's flesh and blood, realizing he needed to start with its Sea of Grievances.
