Li Xiaoyu and Dawn Squad reached the Wilderness Sacred Hall too late to stop Wan Renwang from completing the Pseudo Four Spirits Blood Array and opening the Asura Gate. As a gigantic hand descended and devastated the land, a blue-robed figure rose from the ruins and urged everyone not to give up.

• Dawn Squad wiped out the encircling monsters, then entered the Wilderness Sacred Hall and found Wan Renwang sustaining the nearly complete Pseudo Four Spirits Blood Array.
• Li Xiaoyu attacked the altar, but its black chains absorbed his sword qi while Wan Renwang declared the righteous cultivators would become sacrifices.
