Yue Chenyuan defeated Wu Guang with her Shadow Wheel Dance before Zhang Taixu, Kun Ye, Zhao Zhao, and Liu Qingyan could reach her. Their combined attack left her Dark Golden Body badly cracked and sent the dark cyan scroll floating at the center of the battlefield, where a nearby peak Grandmaster Prodigy eyed it greedily.

• Qin Yan commanded the array to descend, and thousands of bolts of silver lightning poured down from the vortices above.

The baptism ended with the golden body absorbing the last of the seven-colored light and unleashing a surge of Darkness Force.

• Qin Yan learned that the Five Elements Yin-Yang Spear Array and Blood-Red Dark Storm gave him two potent offensive skills, though their use consumed substantial energy.

• A seven-colored light descended upon the Dark Emperor Golden Body, beginning a Heaven and Earth Baptism that Qin Yan watched but could not see through.
• The Dark Emperor Golden Body absorbed the final seven-colored light, and its Darkness Force erupted outward.

After completing the Heaven and Earth Baptism, Qin Yan met Yue Chenyuan, who recognized him as the rival who had taken the scroll, and they prepared to test their ninety-nine-yard Dark Golden Bodies against each other.
