The Sky Azure Bull Python and Titan Giant Ape sensed the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger nearing a breakthrough, but held back after detecting a powerful human pursuing it. Azure Luan Douluo, Qian Renxue, and Lin Nuo found the tiger in the Star Dou Forest’s core region and launched an attack.

• The Sky Azure Bull Python and Titan Giant Ape privately planned to sacrifice themselves for Xiao Wu someday, each believing the honor belonged to him.

The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger pulled Lin Nuo and Qian Renxue into its Life and Death Arena, where its shattered barrier caused it to regress into a small tiger and Qian Renxue to become a six-year-old girl. Lin Nuo instead became his adult self, and after the arena’s fight to the death began, he evaded the tiger’s attack and slashed its flank with his wings.

Lin Nuo returned from the spatial rift with Qian Renxue and the dead Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, claiming the Evil God Bead before the rift could reclaim it. As he began absorbing the tiger’s Soul Ring, Azure Luan Douluo recognized the mysterious mark on Lin Nuo’s forehead as a possible sign that a Deity had noticed him.

• Lin Nuo, Qian Renxue, and the dead Dark Demon Evil God Tiger emerged in the clearing as its black Soul Ring and Evil God Bead appeared.

In the God Realm, the God of Evil persuaded the God of Goodness to let Lin Nuo inherit her divine position alongside his own, despite the risks of competing inheritances. In the Star Dou Forest, Lin Nuo’s Death Spider Emperor Martial Soul transformed into a phantom resembling Bibi Dong, leaving Qian Renxue and Azure Luan Douluo stunned as they waited for him to wake.

• The God of Evil told the God of Goodness about Lin Nuo’s talent and his unusual connection to Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue.
