Ah Yin used Blue Silver Grass to map the Evil Soul Masters’ ice cavern and joined Yu Xiaoheng on an infiltration mission, though she despised him for his apparent callousness. As they descended past the prisoners, Yu Xiaoheng suddenly stopped, and Ah Yin saw what had caught his attention.

• Ah Yin condemned Yu Xiaoheng for being willing to sacrifice Yu Changkong, then volunteered to accompany him using her ability to sense through Blue Silver Grass.

• The purple flame sent out a warning pulse that passed harmlessly through Yu Xiaoheng but marked Ah Yin with a Core Flame.
• The Evil Soul Masters spotted Yu Xiaoheng and Ah Yin, and Ah Yin apologized after realizing she had exposed them.

Ah Yin prepared to sacrifice herself when the Evil Soul Masters discovered their hiding place, but Yu Xiaoheng pulled her back, concealed her Purple Fire mark, and fled with her toward the Purple Fire core.

• Yu Xiaoheng stepped toward the stunned Evil Soul Masters and threw a punch.

• Ah Yin tried to shield Yu Xiaoheng with her Blue Silver Grass, but his Thunder Echo shattered it as he formed his Thunder Armor.
• The Evil Soul Masters engulfed Yu Xiaoheng in Purple Fire, and Ah Yin rushed toward the flames, intending to use Yu Yuanzhen’s jade token if Yu Xiaoheng could pass it to her.
• Yu Xiaoheng tore through the Purple Fire in his Thunder Armor, stunning the attackers.

Yu Xiaoheng fought through the Evil Soul Masters to reach the Holy Fire core, then used Yu Yuanzhen’s jade token to summon a devastating Lightning attack. He saved Ah Yin inside the token’s protective barrier, leaving her shaken by his sacrifice and newly grateful to him.

• Yu Xiaoheng struck two Soul Kings down, then charged toward the Holy Fire core instead of pursuing them.

• Yu Yuanzhen's Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon phantom unleashed a massive lightning strike at the Rainbow Dragon corpse, overpowering its purple flames.
• The lightning annihilated the corpse and the flesh-and-blood sacrifices, while tiny purple sparks converged into a single flame.
• The flame coalesced into a skull Spirit Bone, and Yu Xiaoheng recognized its pure destructive will as Heavenly Punishment Fire.
• Yu Xiaoheng reasoned that the flame had been degraded twice and that his Golden Sacred Dragon Martial Soul had only a trace of resistance to it.
• Yu Xiaoheng grabbed the dazed Ah Yin and retreated.

Yu Xiaoheng was struck by a pure Purple Flame Spirit Ring that burned the flesh from his right arm, but the Immortal Herbs in his body kept him alive as destruction and healing reached a fragile balance. As Spirit Emperor Rhine attacked to reclaim the ring, Yu Xiaoheng remained locked in the perilous struggle to survive its power.

• After the dragon corpse fell, a pure Purple Flame Spirit Ring formed from its remains and flew toward Yu Xiaoheng despite his discarding all his Purple Fire Soul Rings.

• Ah Yin reached toward Yu Xiaoheng, but he struck her across the face without looking, sending her crashing onto the ice.
• Yu Xiaoheng realized the ring's destructive energy and his Immortal Herbs' restorative power had reached a precarious balance that was rapidly consuming the herbs' medicinal effects.

• The Heavenly Punishment Skull Soul Bone exploded, and its Purple Fire burned through the charging Evil Soul Masters and weakened Yu Yuanzhen’s Lightning barrier.
• Yu Xiaoheng was hurled through the ice cavern’s ceiling, saw that the purple barrier over the ice plains remained, and fell unconscious onto the snowfield.
• The life force of the four Immortal Herbs slowly repaired Yu Xiaoheng as a pack of Ice Wolves encircled him, drawn by the medicinal aura in his body.
• The Purple Fire around Yu Xiaoheng’s skeletal right arm became a bracelet, consumed his life force and Immortal Herb power, and returned Purple Fire resistance to his body.
• The ten-thousand-year Wolf King howled and led the pack closer as Yu Xiaoheng sensed the bracelet’s power of Destruction and wanted to absorb it.

Yu Xiaoheng realized the Heavenly Punishment Soul Ring might be absorbable with a special metal fragment and immense life force, while Rhine ordered the captives protected and sent Evil Soul Masters searching for the lost power. Stranded and barely able to move, Yu Xiaoheng faced a pack of Ice Wolves and weighed the heavy costs of his remaining escape options.

• Yu Xiaoheng connected Rhine’s reaction, the metal fragments, and the captives’ preserved vitality to the possible requirements for absorbing the Heavenly Punishment Soul Ring, and considered the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan’s resources a potential advantage.
• Rhine ordered the captives gathered and protected, punished an Evil Soul Master for approaching them, and sent searchers across the ice plains to find his lord’s lost power.
• Yu Changkong inferred that Yu Xiaoheng had destroyed the Purple Fire Core and resolved to save him once the barrier broke.
• Yu Xiaoheng found that the Purple Fire had fused into a bracelet on his arm and that he was too injured to fight the approaching Ice Wolves.
• Yu Xiaoheng considered using his Distress Jade Token, Blood Swan Kiss, or Purple Fire and metal fragment against the Ten Thousand Year Wolf King, knowing each option would carry a steep cost.

Shui Yun'er and Shui Lingxi fought Lin Qinglan to protect the unconscious Yu Xiaoheng, and the group agreed to hide in an ice cave rather than risk drawing the Evil Soul Masters. As Yu Xiaoheng endured a dangerous transformation from the Purple Fire, resentment toward the sisters grew among the Skywater Academy students.
