Xiao Tianyang and Big White reached the deepest level of Deep Sea Prison and encountered a formidable Abyssal Twin-Headed Shark. After calming Big White and provoking their enemy, Xiao Tianyang sent Big White charging forward with Wave Surfing.

• Xiao Tianyang sat on Big White's head and asked it to take him ashore, realizing Bo Saixi was still angry but intended to explain the Abyssal Twin-Headed Shark.

• Xiao Tianyang described how two conflicting consciousnesses would weaken a fighter, and Bo Saixi explained that the shark’s first form had two opposing consciousnesses and an innate stealth ability.
• Bo Saixi said the shark’s second form kept only one consciousness and was far more fierce, recalling her narrow victory against a four-hundred-thousand-year-old shark.

Xiao Tianyang and Big White confronted the Abyssal Twin-Headed Shark in the deep sea, and Xiao Tianyang severed its shark-headed arm before both entered Deathly Space.

• Xiao Tianyang used Divine Machine Card: Transfer Flowers, Graft Wood, and the Abyssal Twin-Headed Shark began losing its connection to the space.

• Xiao Tianyang and Big White found the beautiful Ten Thousand Year Coral and met Bixi, who denied being the divine beast Xiao Tianyang named.
• Bixi was shocked to learn Xiao Tianyang was twenty-two and had killed a seven-hundred-thousand-year Abyssal Twin-Headed Shark.
• Bixi explained that a stronger creature had defeated it and taken the coral, then warned Xiao Tianyang that the creature was approaching.
• Xiao Tianyang turned and struck at the approaching enemy, revealing it to be an eight-hundred-ten-thousand-year Blackwater Twin-headed Flood Dragon.
