Du Busi and Huo Yuhao followed a spreading toxic miasma into Sunset Forest and discovered a hidden valley centered on the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. Du Busi saw the valley as a prize for the Body Sect, while Huo Yuhao warned that its Immortal Herbs posed the true danger, and one of them spoke up as Du Busi approached.

• Du Busi and Huo Yuhao flew into the depths of Sunset Forest, where they found the toxic miasma unusually widespread and followed it toward its densest source.
• Du Busi discovered a vast field of Jade Phosphor Flowers, gathered their poisonous mist into a sealed pellet, and exposed the entrance to a hidden valley.

• Huo Yuhao activated his golden-grade Martial Soul awakening form and warned Du Busi that the valley was more dangerous than the poisonous flower field.
• Du Busi announced that the valley's herbs, Soul Rings, and Soul Bones could benefit the Body Sect, prompting an Immortal Herb to tell him to stop.

Du Busi and Huo Yuhao subdued the intelligent immortal herbs at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and collected their cultivated essence, including the Heart of Silk.

Huo Yuhao used the Ice Dragon King's remains, the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass, the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, and the Gold of Life to shape his formless ice into a Second Martial Soul. As it took form, ninety-nine-percent-pure Ultimate Ice began transforming his body, and Huo Yuhao fought to strengthen his flesh without making it Ice-attribute.

• Du Busi secured the Immortal Herbs, harvested the Snow-Colored Swan Neck, and gave Huo Yuhao the essence of the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass.

• Huo Yuhao encased himself in ice crystals and absorbed filtered Ice energy from the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass to nurture the new Martial Soul.
• Sky Dream Ice Silkworm warned Huo Yuhao that the Martial Soul could disappear without a Soul Ring, but Huo Yuhao relied on the Gold of Life, the well, and the Power of Fortune to improve his chances.
• As the Ultimate Ice Martial Soul took shape, Huo Yuhao used the Gold of Life to repair and strengthen his body while preventing it from becoming Ice-attribute.

Huo Yuhao completed the formation of his Ice Dragon King Martial Soul with help from the Ice Dragon King Remnant Soul, then offered the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass a chance to become his Second Martial Soul’s Soul Ring. The herb was persuaded by Xiao Bai and began considering the offer.

• Huo Yuhao used the Power of Fortune to sustain his incomplete Martial Soul, alerting the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, who left the Star Dou Great Forest alone to find him.
• The Ice Dragon King Remnant Soul emerged from the Ice Spring Eye and lent its power to Huo Yuhao, allowing his Ice Dragon Martial Soul to evolve into an Ice Dragon King Martial Soul.

• Huo Yuhao summoned Xiao Bai to explain the offer, and the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass became tempted but remained uncertain whether to trust him.

Huo Yuhao gained the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass’s voluntary sacrifice as a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring for his Ice Dragon King Martial Soul, while preserving its consciousness and sealing away most of its energy. After the successful fusion, he and Du Busi prepared to return to the Body Sect, where Huo Yuhao hoped they could welcome a Limit Douluo.

• After Xiao Bai persuaded it, the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass agreed to sacrifice itself for Huo Yuhao.
• Du Busi lifted the seal, and Huo Yuhao summoned his Ice Dragon King Martial Soul, whose Ultimate Ice domain and Absolute Zero ability made Du Busi wary.

As Douluo Star’s connection to the God Realm Core weakened and its thought-power contribution dwindled, the God of Destruction challenged Tang San’s control of the Core. Tang San stalled him while secretly activating a backup plan on Douluo Star, where the Divine Armor he had prepared required a powerful enough wielder.

• After the vote, the God Kings left the Committee and gave Tang San three days, while the God of Destruction kept close watch on him.
• Tang San failed to find an explanation for the God Realm Core’s breakdown and suspected the Gray Bead, but planned to restore the connection through Huo Yuhao’s eventual ascension and his contingency.
