As challengers continued to lose in King's Canyon, Ye Lingling was summoned by Lin Jiang, giving the Nine Heart Begonia Ye Clan a possible chance to rise.

The King of Slaughter revealed to Clear Sky Sect Fifth Elder Tang Zhen that Tang Chen no longer controlled his body, then let a Spider Shadow devour Tang Zhen as nourishment for the Rakshasa God.

Tang Xiao briefly reached Rank 99 through the sect’s formation, but Lu Bu unleashed Demon God's Descent and evaded his Heaven-Shattering Strike with an invincible leap.

• Lu Bu used Greedy Wolf's Grasp to drain Soul Power from the Clear Sky Sect formation and form a shield that blocked Tang Xiao's hammer strike.
