• The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King had underestimated Yang Jian, believing him to be only a Quasi-Title Douluo, despite the danger of the incoming attack.

• Yang Jian said he was not interested in the Sea God, and Bo Saixi reacted with shock and anger.

• Yang Jian’s crimson slash struck Bo Saixi’s Sea God’s Protection, and the barrier began to fracture under its power.

• Yang Jian told Bo Saixi that the Sea God considered her his most favored priestess, and she bowed to him in gratitude as he departed.

• Xiao Wu sensed danger in Sunset Forest but suppressed her unease and continued after Tang San.

After three days searching Sunset Forest, the Shrek group found two powerful spider Soul Beasts that could provide Tang San with his fourth Soul Ring. Yu Xiaogang assessed their abilities, and Tang San decided to target the Crypt Demon Spider.

• The Shrek group traveled through Sunset Forest for three days, surviving Soul Beast attacks without injuries.
• Yu Xiaogang heard two spider Soul Beasts fighting and recognized them as suitable targets for Tang San's fourth Soul Ring.
• Liu Erlong carried Yu Xiaogang toward the cries, and Tang San and the others followed to a clearing where a Man Faced Demon Spider faced a Crypt Demon Spider.
• Yu Xiaogang estimated that the Man Faced Demon Spider was about six thousand years old and explained how the Crypt Demon Spider used terrain and silk traps to hunt.
• Tang San considered how each spider's abilities suited his fighting style and chose the Crypt Demon Spider for his fourth Soul Ring.

Yu Xiaogang warned Tang San that the Crypt Demon Spider was a Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast and that trying to absorb its Soul Ring would be fatal. Xiao Wu reinforced his warning by explaining Soul Shock, leaving Tang San to reconsider his urge to claim the spider.

• Tang San considered choosing the Crypt Demon Spider for his fourth Soul Ring, but Yu Xiaogang refused because it had surpassed ten thousand years of cultivation.
• Yu Xiaogang warned that absorbing its Soul Ring would expose Tang San to a five-thousand-year leap and likely cause his body to explode.
• Xiao Wu anxiously pleaded with Tang San not to take the risk, and his determination wavered when he saw her fear.
• Xiao Wu explained that Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts left behind Soul Shock after death, which made absorbing their Soul Rings dangerous even for Soul Masters at level fifty.

Xiao Wu warned Tang San that absorbing a Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring could cause Soul Shock and destroy his spiritual world, and Yu Xiaogang agreed that he was not ready. Tang San gave up on absorbing the Crypt Demon Spider for now, and Liu Erlong charged toward the Man Faced Demon Spider to secure its Soul Ring instead.

• Xiao Wu warned Tang San that his body and spiritual power were too immature to withstand a Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring and Soul Shock.
• Yu Xiaogang questioned Xiao Wu about her knowledge, but she claimed her dead mother had told her, and no one pressed her further.
• Yu Xiaogang told Tang San that his spiritual power was insufficient to absorb a Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring.
• Tang San accepted that he would have to wait until he became a Soul King to seek a Crypt Demon Spider's Soul Ring.
• Yu Xiaogang asked Liu Erlong to handle the Man Faced Demon Spider, and she launched herself toward it.

Liu Erlong defeated the six-thousand-year Man Faced Demon Spider, while the Ten-Thousand-Year Crypt Demon Spider escaped. As Tang San approached the dying spider, his Eight Spider Lances emerged on their own and revealed their desire to devour it.

• Liu Erlong seized the Man Faced Demon Spider and slammed it into the ground, shattering its legs and carapace.
• The Ten-Thousand-Year Crypt Demon Spider used the dust to flee into the forest.
• Liu Erlong called Tang San over to deliver the final blow, and he accepted that the Crypt Demon Spider was gone.
• Tang San's Eight Spider Lances burst through his clothes without warning, alarming Yu Xiaogang and Flender.
• The Eight Spider Lances trembled near the dying Man Faced Demon Spider, and Tang San realized they wanted to devour it.
