Bibi Han reached Rank 80, while Tang Hao taught Tang San the Clear Sky Sect’s Great Sumeru Hammer technique. Tang San then destroyed the Soul Rings on his Blue Silver Grass and began cultivating the Clear Sky Hammer, blaming Bibi Han and swearing revenge.

• Rumors that Yu Xiaogang was not Yu Yuanzhen’s son spread across the continent, and Yu Yuanzhen smashed the Sect Master Hall in anger when he heard them.
• Seven days later, Bibi Han broke through to Rank 80 in the New Blue Silver Forest and planned to visit the Worship Hall before heading to the sea.

• Tang San exploded his Blue Silver Grass Soul Rings through intense pain and vowed to kill Bibi Han.

Bibi Han absorbed a Two Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring, triggering a Thunder Tribulation imposed by the God Realm. Tang San rebuilt his strength with the Clear Sky Hammer and agreed to spare Bibi Han for now after learning he knew how to revive Ah Yin.

• Tang San destroyed his Blue Silver Grass Soul Rings, then began cultivating the Clear Sky Hammer with powerful replacement Soul Rings.
• Bibi Han absorbed a Two Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring, and Qian Daoliu and the Seven Worship Enshrines gathered as its power surged.

Bibi Han faced the Thunder Tribulation triggered by his Two Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring while Bibi Dong and the Spirit Hall elders watched helplessly. After enduring a succession of increasingly dangerous strikes, he was caught in a blast as two tribulations hit at once, leaving his fate unclear.

• Bibi Han used the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer to shatter the first Thunder Tribulation, while Qian Daoliu warned Bibi Dong that intervening would multiply the tribulation's power and endanger everyone.
• Bibi Han blocked the second and third Thunder Tribulations with Ultimate Ice shields, then countered the fourth with the Clear Sky Nine Absolutes and Bloodthirsty Soul Hammer.
• The next Thunder Tribulation arrived faster, blasted Bibi Han into a mountainside, and forced him to use the Clear Sky Barrier and Blue Silver Blessing to defend himself and recover.
• Bibi Han saw two Thunder Tribulations approaching and activated Clear Sky Overlord Body before meeting them with Nine Nine Return One.
• The resulting explosion caught nearby Spirit Hall Title Douluo in its blast, and Bibi Dong attacked an elder who questioned whether Bibi Han had survived.

Bibi Han survived the Thunder Tribulation by fusing the Clear Sky Hammer’s two Scarlet Soul Rings and striking down the Thunder Giant Dragon with the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer. He collapsed into Bibi Dong’s arms afterward, but only because he had fallen asleep, leaving the storm ended and his mother relieved.

• Bibi Han crawled from the blast severely wounded as the final lightning strike gathered overhead.
• Bibi Han fused the Clear Sky Hammer’s two Scarlet Soul Rings, creating the self-made skill Ring Fusion.
• Bibi Han drew the fused ring’s energy into the hammer and met the Thunder Giant Dragon with the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer, eighty-one.

• Bibi Dong flew to Bibi Han, praised him when he asked if he had been awesome, and caught him as he fell asleep.

• After Gu Yuena left, Bibi Han resolved to continue the Thunder Tribulation after recovering and then carry out the Soul Hunting Operation.

• Tang Xiao approved Tang San's plan, while Tang Hao privately wondered where Tang San had obtained the Hidden Weapons before deciding not to question him.

• Tai Tan told Tang San that the patriarchs of the other three clans were on their way, and Tang San rejected Bibi Han as his brother because he had joined Spirit Hall.

• Tang San withstood Niu Gao's pressure, promised that the Tang Sect would not merge with the Clear Sky Sect, and challenged Niu Gao to a match.

Tang San challenged Niu Gao to force him back and fought the Defense Clan leader with the Clear Sky Hammer. After Niu Gao withstood his strongest direct strikes, Tang San completed the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer—but aimed its final blow at the arena instead of Niu Gao.

• Niu Gao wagered that he would lead the Defense Clan into the Tang Sect if Tang San could make him step back while defending with all his strength.
• Tang San revealed his Clear Sky Hammer and six black Soul Rings, then struck Niu Gao with the Collapse Character Formula, which barely affected him.

• Tang San's final hammer blow smashed into the arena rather than Niu Gao.

Tang San secured the Defense Clan’s agreement to join the Tang Sect, then tried to recruit Yang Wudi and the Breaking Clan. Yang Wudi rejected him, condemned the Tang Family and the Clear Sky Sect, and warned the other three clan leaders before leaving with his clan.

• Niu Gao admitted defeat after Tang San destroyed the Fighting Arena and agreed to bring the Defense Clan into the Tang Sect, while insisting they would leave if it had any ties to the Clear Sky Sect.
• Two days later, Yang Wudi arrived, and Tang San offered him the Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng and Aromatic Silk Beauty to persuade the Breaking Clan to join.
• Yang Wudi reminded Tai Tan, Niu Gao, and Bai He how the Clear Sky Sect had abandoned their clans, and accused Tang San and his family of greed and ingratitude.
• Yang Wudi cited Tang San’s ambush of Bibi Han after the Soul Master Tournament and condemned him for turning against Spirit Hall, while Tang San grew furious and prepared to attack.
• Yang Wudi warned the other clan leaders that following Tang San would bring their deaths, then ordered the Breaking Clan to leave.

Tang San abandoned his plan to kill Yang Wudi after Tang Yuan explained the risks, while Bibi Han decided the Single Attribute Three Clans should be targeted in the Soul Hunting Operation. In the Heaven Dou City prison, Yu Xiaogang endured further abuse and was mutilated by Scar.

• Tang San calmed the three clan patriarchs with persuasion and medicinal herbs, then asked Tang Yuan why he had stopped him from attacking Yang Wudi.
• Tang Yuan explained that Yang Wudi’s Soul Breaking Spear made him as strong as a Title Douluo and that killing him would turn the other clans against Tang San, so Tang San postponed the matter.
• Bibi Han read a report about Tang San and the Single Attribute Three Clans and ordered that they be wiped out in the Soul Hunting Operation.
• Yu Xiaogang accidentally splashed urine on Scar, who decided to cut off his genitals as punishment.
• Scar obtained a small saw from two Healing System Soul Masters and mutilated Yu Xiaogang while he screamed.

Yu Xiaogang was released from prison and reunited with Tang San, Flender, and Liu Erlong, who pitied his ruined reputation and weakened body. Tang San remained loyal to him, then set out with Ning Rongrong for the City of Metal as the Five-Year Promise approached.

• Liu Erlong brought Yu Xiaogang food, and his ravenous, tearful meal earned the sympathy of Tang San and the others.
• Ning Rongrong arrived to see Tang San, argued with Yu Xiaogang, and failed to persuade Tang San to abandon his teacher.
• Tang San and Ning Rongrong left for the City of Metal, discussing the approaching Five-Year Promise and hoping to return before Xiao Ao came back.
