• Divine Calculator, Dan Chengzi, and the others arrived and reunited with Qi Zixiao’s apparent clone while watching the Holy Son and Zou Hu fight.

Lin Fan used the Five Colors Divine Light and the Power Bank to remove the Giant Coffin from the Burial Ground, then fled as tens of thousands of cultivators chased him for their stolen treasures. Meanwhile, Dan Chengzi and the others confronted the Ink Blood Toad, which mistakenly believed they had come for its Demon Core.
