Qian Daoliu told Qian Renxue he would help her seize the Papal Seat once she reached level eighty, while she insisted she wanted a fair chance to defeat Bibi Dong. At the Ruined Divine Temple, Su He and Yan opened the flame-sealed stone door and entered, but a stone guardian awakened as they approached a glowing treasure.

• Su He and Yan approached a glowing treasure behind a stone platform, and the stone figure opened its eyes.

Su He and Yan defeated the Flame Stone Golem long enough to claim three fire crystals, but Su He realized the guardian’s repeated regeneration came from a hidden core. He began attacking the core with Yan’s help, leaving its secret close to being revealed.

• The Fire God and the God King of Destruction discussed Yan and Su He, while Su He followed an unseen pull to a barren swamp and cautiously assessed it.

Su He entered the Realm of Destruction through a teleportation gate hidden in a barren swamp and faced the challenge of crossing the Lake of Eyelessness. As Su He began studying the lake’s destructive power, Yan cultivated in Sky-Propping Volcano with the Heart of Burning.

• Yan cultivated in the crater of Sky-Propping Volcano, where the Heart of Burning boosted his perception and protected him as his Flame Lord underwent subtle changes.

Xie Yue and Hu Liena’s group found the Ruined Divine Temple already stripped of its treasures, while Su He struggled to survive the destructive power inside the Realm of Destruction.

• Xie Yue and Hu Liena found rare treasures and lifeless Flame Stone Golems in the Ruined Divine Temple, while Dai Weisi and Ning Yuan urged the others to demand a share from Yan and Su He.
• Su He continued studying the bizarre power in the Realm of Destruction, but after a week he still could not endure the lake long enough to cross it.
• Yan returned to the temple with Xie Yue and Hu Liena after refining a Flame Crystal, evolving his Flame Lord into the Blazing Fire Saint Lord and raising his flames to Ultimate Fire.

• After three months trapped in the Realm of Destruction, Su He understood that its power was the pure intent of destruction and suspected it was connected to the God King of Destruction.

Su He tried to fuse Destruction Divine Power with his other abilities, but found that Darkness Power and Evil Power were both overwhelmed by it. As the world shifted around Spirit Hall and Qian Renxue, Su He prepared to test a new approach using three powers together.

• Xie Yue set out to travel with Subduing Demon Douluo, while Yan postponed his own journey until Su He returned and Mighty Lion Douluo completed his seclusion.
• Su He sat in the Realm of Destruction with Adamant Qi, Evil Power, and Darkness Power in one hand and violet Destruction Divine Power in the other.

Su He fused darkness, evil, Adamant Qi, and Destruction Divine Power into a new force called the Power of Heaven Annihilation. Using it to cross Lake of Eyelessness unharmed, he completed the Realm of Destruction trial and entered the cave beyond.

• After more than a hundred failed attempts, Su He found a stable ratio for fusing the four powers.
• Su He spent three days and nights completing the fusion and named the resulting purple-black power the Power of Heaven Annihilation.
• Su He covered himself with the new power and crossed Lake of Eyelessness without injury.
• The Realm of Destruction Spirit announced that Su He had completed the trial in 124 days and could leave or continue cultivating.
• Su He chose to enter the enormous cave beyond the lake.

Su He claimed the gifts for the Angel Clan and himself, including a Mountain Dragon King soul bone and the Realm of Destruction’s World Core.

• Su He left the Realm of Destruction and was surrounded by Star Luo soldiers, who said Dai Weisi had ordered him to meet the First Prince.

• Su He awoke with a physique able to withstand ordinary attacks from a level 96 Super Douluo and gained the Mountain Mist Sacred Body skill, which boosted his defense and made his attacks carry the force of mountains.

After testing Su He's defenses against Golden Crocodile Douluo's attacks, the two traveled north toward Slaughter City. They reached an eerie town near their destination and stopped at a gloomy tavern.
