• A six-winged woman appeared in Bi Zihan’s Spiritual Sea, confronted the seven Fallen Angels behind a great door, and then vanished.

Bi Zihan and Qian Renxue’s match ended after Bibi Dong and Qian Daoliu intervened, and Qian Renxue left still furious with him. On the way back to the Worship Hall, Qian Daoliu revealed that Bi Zihan bore a god’s aura and that the God of Angels had forbidden him from acting against the boy.

• Bi Zihan and Qian Renxue turned to face the approaching spiders, each insisting the other should not hold them back.

Bi Zihan and Qian Renxue fell into a fog-shrouded abyss after fighting giant spiders, then recovered and searched for a way out. They decided climbing the sheer stone wall was their best option, but had no clear way to do it without their martial souls or footholds.

• Bi Zihan and Qian Renxue fought off giant spiders until one pinned their chain and the ground split beneath them.

• Qian Renxue pointed out that climbing the steep wall seemed impossible without footholds, tools, or their martial souls.

Bi Zihan and Qian Renxue raced to escape rising magma by climbing a towering stone wall. After Bi Zihan saved Qian Renxue from falling, they both reached the top, exhausted, and looked over their surroundings.

• Qian Renxue blocked a spider’s attack and helped Bi Zihan, who shoved her toward the bridge and told her to leave.

• Bi Zihan and Qian Renxue chose to fight together despite the near-impossible odds and charged the two creatures again.
• As the snake's tail and the spider's legs struck toward them, Bi Zihan and Qian Renxue fused into a twelve-winged angel with black and white wings.

Qian Daoliu learned what happened and received the Angel God’s command to protect Bi Zihan, leaving Qian Renxue to consider the trials’ meaning.
