• Demon Douluo retreated toward the main altar, while Wraith Douluo feared that his supposed companion had an ulterior motive.

Mo Lin reversed the subsidiary formation, draining much of Demon Douluo’s blood sphere and forcing him to sacrifice his followers, Wraith Douluo, and finally himself to gather enough blood energy. Qian Renxue’s group reached the main altar just as the sphere began transforming into an evil creature, and they rushed to stop it.

Their battle began as a clash of brute strength, and Mo Lin gained the advantage, leaving the Abyssal Sage King defiant but shaken.

• Mo Lin learned that the Abyssal Sage King had come to Douluo Continent through a connection with its native evil soul masters and questioned whether the God Realm would notice him.
• The Abyssal Sage King acknowledged Mo Lin’s knowledge of the God Realm but refused to take him as a subordinate, and the two prepared to fight.
