Lin Chen awakened the Blood Scripture, Ancestor Styx’s inheritance, while imprisoned by the Jialie brothers, who had abducted him and other children. After Jalie Lang killed Jalie Bei by draining his essence, Lin Chen prepared to use the Blood Scripture to turn the same devouring technique against him as Jalie Lang cut his wrist and brought their wounds together.

• Lin Chen awakened to the Blood Scripture’s legacy and recalled that Jalie Lang and Jalie Bei had abducted him after his parents, Lin Shan and Su Wan, were killed.

• Lin Chen’s Blood Scripture formed a devouring vortex in his wound as Jalie Lang moved his wrist toward it.

Lin Chen turned Jalie Lang’s attempt to drain him into a counterattack, absorbing his life essence and reaching the peak of Dou Qi Stage Nine. After melting his chains with a trace of the Karma Fire Red Lotus, Lin Chen faced approaching footsteps while trapped in the cellar with nine other children.

• Lin Chen began breaking through to Dou Zhe in the cave, intending to stabilize his new power before hunting Xiao Bao.

Lin Chen advanced to two-star Dou Zhe and secretly prepared to assassinate Xiao Bao, whom he discovered had kidnapped children for the Jia Lie Family.

• Lin Chen left the cellar and fixed his gaze on the Jialie Clan's estate, deciding it was time to make them repay their blood debts.
