Jiang Mu spent the night using the Heaven-and-Earth Embryo to create an incarnation, with Tang Wutong watching through their Shared Vision. After the body took shape, he studied how to control it and prepared to split off part of his divine soul.

• Jiang Mu’s concealment pill wore off, revealing his human aura to the nearby Titan Snow Demons and scouting Soul Beasts.
• Jiang Mu used Title Douluo Essence Blood to blast apart an eighty-thousand-year Titan Snow Demon and several nearby beasts, then shouted for the Ice Empress and Snow Empress to come.
