As an ancient presence began to awaken underground and drained the Soul Power of everyone in the hall, Han Yuchen prepared to face it.

• Han Yuchen struck Nightmare Douluo with his Unmissable Spear, but Nightmare survived and revealed that a higher-dimensional blessing protected him.

A burst of Shadow energy corrupted Qian Renxue’s Six-winged Archangel and sealed Heaven Dou City beneath a dark-purple canopy that suppressed its inhabitants’ Soul Power.

• As the Giant Mutant Commander shattered the Star Gazing Pavilion's defensive formation, Dugu Bo prepared to use his Eighth Soul Skill, but Han Yuchen told him to stand down.
• Han Yuchen activated his Fourth Soul Skill, Roaring Waves, and froze the Shadow Demons and their poisonous mist throughout a thousand-meter radius.
