After Gu Yue Na confirmed his guess, Huo Yuhao set out to explore the burial ground, leaving Evil Emperor uneasy but reassured by Huo Yuhao’s confidence and Gu Yue Na’s presence.

• Huo Yuhao studied the royal archives and concluded that the forbidden zone in the Jingyang Mountain Range was a Dragon King’s burial ground, not a deity’s trial site.

After five hours of controlling the lightning with the Chaos Pearl, Huo Yuhao and Xiao Yan endured the ordeal, but an unprecedented roar abruptly silenced the surrounding violence.

• Tian Meng became wary of a hidden vine until Huo Yuhao identified it as Thunderclap Hellvine, and Xiao Yan explained that she was nearing a two-hundred-thousand-year tribulation.
• Xiao Yan asked Huo Yuhao to accept her as a Soul Ring, but he instead established a Soul Spirit Contract with her and gained her two-hundred-thousand-year right leg Spirit Bone.

Niu Tian and Titan decided to support Huo Yuhao as Wang Dong'er prepared to confront Tang San, trusting that their Soul Beast Lord could match a God King.
