• Xuan Zi joined Heavenly Sun Douluo and recognized the stronghold's forces as a potential bridgehead for the Sun Moon Empire's invasion of the Dou Ling Empire.

The Heavenly Sun Douluo killed a Holy Spirit Cult Level 9 Soul Master, while the battle’s real priority became clear: the cult’s reinforcements had come to save Zhongli Wu’s disciple, Xu Han.

• Xu Han introduced Death of Xuanming, a shield forged from the five elders of the Xuanming Sect, and survived a powerful attack from Xuan Zi and the Heavenly Sun Douluo.

• Qin Yue glanced toward a hidden location as he tried to determine where the Holy Spirit Cult’s lair was concealed.

After Zhongli Wu and the others escaped, Heavenly Sun Douluo and Xuan Zi considered the Dou Ling Empire’s weakness, while Qin Yue learned more about Xu Han’s hostility toward the Xuanming Sect. Qian Duoduo then revealed that the battlefield yielded valuable Level 9 Soul Tool blueprints, leaving the allied forces with a chance to advance their Soul Tool research.
