After the cavern collapsed beneath Flowing Wave Island, Tu Nan and the Hao brothers found themselves trapped in rock too hard to dig through while the Hao Yue Ding battled the Sky Lizard Demon Venerable. Shen Lin appeared, killed a fleeing Demon Race expert with one saber strike, and sensed something intriguing deep in a dark passage as red lights appeared.

• The Sky Lizard Demon Venerable kicked the Bright Moon Cauldron upward and drove the surrounding underground cavern into a massive collapse.

• Shen Lin looked into the dark passage, sensed a peculiar aura, and watched countless red points of light appear as deep roars sounded.

• Shen Lin approached the monsters, and one attacked him; he cut it in two, but its halves transformed into two new monsters.
• Shen Lin carved the regenerated monsters into countless pieces, which dissipated and left two crystals behind.
• Someone behind Shen Lin recognized the crystals as Dao Crystals.

As Shen Lin prepared to follow, Tu Nan confronted him and asked whether the technique he had used was Tu Nan's cultivation technique.

• Shen Lin learned that the monsters were Soulless Shells and that their Dao Crystals were empty of Great Dao Power.
• Hao Yuan and Hao Shan killed monsters to claim their crystals, then realized the crystals were useless.

• Hao Yuan restrained Hao Shan and led Hao Shan and Hao Ming deeper into the tunnel to escape the battle above.
• Tu Nan confronted Shen Lin and asked whether Shen Lin had used Tu Nan's cultivation technique.

Shen Lin faced Tu Nan, whose demonic transformation had made him furious at finding someone practicing his former cultivation art. As the Demon Race and Sacred Land disciples fled through the tunnel, Shen Lin drew Slaying Hatred and met Tu Nan’s suppressive strike.

• Shen Lin revealed that the Golden Thunder Demon Extermination Art increased his attacks’ lethality against the monsters, and Tu Nan recognized the cultivation art he had once created.

• The monsters gathered around Shen Lin and Tu Nan, and Tu Nan’s demonic image brought its scarlet Monk's Knife down on Shen Lin.
• Shen Lin summoned Slaying Hatred, cutting Tu Nan and the falling rocks, then swept his saber toward the Monk's Knife despite its aura suppressing his power.

• Shen Lin put away the Hate-Slaying Saber and summoned Golden Lightning, whose Vajra Pestle smashed apart the fist-shadow.

• Shen Lin struck Tu Nan with a Golden Lightning Vajra Pestle, disrupting his vengeful-spirit attack and cracking his armor.
• Tu Nan realized Shen Lin had used the spirits’ hatred and the cultivation technique Tu Nan had created to break through his attack.
• Tu Nan changed tactics and attacked with the spirits’ power directly, but Shen Lin’s divine statue raised its Monk’s Knife.
• Shen Lin explained that the knife carried the killing intent of all the living beings Tu Nan had slaughtered, then brought it down and cleaved him in two.
• Tu Nan’s victims’ spirits devoured him as he screamed, then calmed and bowed to Shen Lin before fading away.

After killing Tu Nan, Shen Lin found a golden bone bead and continued onward.

• Shen Lin killed Tu Nan with the power of the vengeful spirits, absorbed his lifespan, and picked up a small golden bone bead from the rubble.
• Hao Shan and Hao Yuan found a vast, mirror-smooth chamber blocked by an enormous scale that they could not damage or move.

• Hao Shan threatened the Demon Race, and Blood Bat Demon Saint revealed that the Inverse Scale supposedly held a Heavenly Demon Lord treasure that could heal Sky Lizard Demon Venerable’s injuries.
• Hao Shan agreed to let the Demon Race go if they helped the Sacred Feather Clan, then looked toward Zhang Chong and the others.

The Sacred Feather Clan’s Hao family planned to kill the Immortal Race disciples to keep their discoveries on Flowing Wave Island secret, while using Dao Crystals to weaken the Black Scale.

• Hao Yuan and Hao Shan ignored the disciples’ pleas, revealing that Blood Bat had their permission to attack.
• Hao Ming asked the elders to spare Ling’er, but Hao Shan slapped him and ordered him to put the family’s interests first, so Hao Ming began gathering Dao Crystal Shards.

Shen Lin slaughtered the Soulless Shells for Demon Lifespan while Hao Yuan and Hao Shan nearly fought him over the Dao Crystal Shards. After realizing Shen Lin had left the shards untouched, they stood aside, and Ling'er urgently called for him to rescue them from the Blood Bat Demon Saint.

• Shen Lin struck the Soulless Shells with his golden Vajra Pestle, prompting Hao Yuan and Hao Shan to prepare to attack him.
• Hao Ming noticed Shen Lin was not collecting the Dao Crystal Shards, and Hao Yuan stopped Hao Shan from fighting.

• Shen Lin charged ahead to kill the remaining monsters, leaving Ling'er and the other Sacred Land Disciples behind.
• Blood Bat Demon Saint realized the Sacred Feather Clan planned to open Black Scale with Dao Crystal Shards and led the Demon Race Saints back through the tunnel to wait.
• Hao Ming used several hundred Dao Crystal Shards to open a hole in Black Scale, and Hao Yuan, Hao Shan, and Hao Ming entered after Shen Lin left to pursue the demons.
• Ling'er rejected the other disciples' warnings and entered Black Scale to follow Hao Ming.
• The remaining Sacred Land Disciples chose to follow the tunnel and search for Shen Lin.

The Demon Race Saints remained trapped underground after Shen Lin and Tu Nan’s battle, so Blood Bat Demon Saint led them in digging upward while hoping the others were inside Black Scale. Shen Lin appeared behind them as they worked, leaving Blood Bat Demon Saint’s escape plan exposed.

• The Demon Race Saints complained about being trapped underground after their earlier humiliation by Tu Nan and Sky Lizard Demon Venerable.

• Blood Bat Demon Saint insisted the others were inside Black Scale to seek the treasures left by Lord Heavenly Demon.
• Shen Lin appeared behind Blood Bat Demon Saint and greeted him, saying he had come to find them.

• Blood Bat Demon Saint discovered that the damaged talisman could be used only five more times and wondered if it could save him from Shen Lin.

• Blood Bat Demon Saint tried to activate the talisman again, but Shen Lin rushed in and severed his right hand.
• Shen Lin beheaded Blood Bat Demon Saint, took the Venerable Talisman, and absorbed his lifespan.

Shen Lin assessed the Venerable Talisman and his gains, especially the eight billion seven hundred million years of Demon Lifespan he had collected. He left the Sacred Land Disciples behind and entered the black scale, identifying himself as the Two Forms Holy Land’s Holy Son.

• Shen Lin recognized the Venerable Talisman’s many uses and stored it in his Summoning Ring.
