Li Han absorbed a 150,000-year Darkgold Dreadclaw Bear Soul Ring and its Head Soul Bone, reaching level seventy-five and gaining the Void Divine Light spatial attack. He left the formation with a stronger arsenal but still needed a right leg Soul Bone and more Ultimate Metal power for his Bamboo Cloudswarm Swords.

After warning Li Han that Xiong Jun would seek revenge, the Titan Giant Ape returned to Star Lake and discussed Li Han’s strength and gifted pills with the Sky Azure Bull Python.

• The Sky Azure Bull Python recognized the pills’ rich blood essence and Soul Power, and the two beasts realized they had been made from the Shadow Sabertooth Tiger.
