• Jiang Shengyu sent Huo Yuhao toward the Sun Moon Empire with a Flying Soul Tool and accepted Di Tian’s Reverse Scale.

• Jiang Shengyu’s black-and-white flames melted the Ice Wall and revealed Ultimate Fire, prompting the Body Sect elders to rush him together.
• Jiang Shengyu activated his fourth soul ring, forming a vast golden halo, and a gigantic golden hand began descending over the battlefield.

• The burning Titled Douluo fled while the other four called for retreat, and Dai Hao tried to steady the frightened soldiers.
• Di Tian warned Jiang Shengyu that his wide-ranging soul skills were straining his body, but Jiang Shengyu decided to test his Fifth Soul Skill against the fleeing enemy.

Jiang Shengyu revealed his Fifth Soul Skill, the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation, and used it with the Hand of Providence to defeat the five Body Sect Titled Douluo. After declaring his ambition to surpass the Gods, he returned from Rank Ninety-Four Titled Douluo-level power to being a Five Rings Soul King.

• Jiang Shengyu unleashed the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation, trapping the five fleeing Body Sect Titled Douluo in a deadly mist-filled domain.

• Di Tian inscribed a new sealing formation into the four surviving Titled Douluo and told Jiang Shengyu that his Rank Nine Soul Tools would protect him from Du Busi.
