Qian Renxue found more about the valley’s love trial, and Di Tian watched the Heavenly Screen unaware of what awaited the Emperor Beast he cherished.

Yin Hongye endured a lightning tribulation that Tang Hao had directed at him, then emerged from hiding and split the thunderclouds with a sword. He turned his killing intent toward the source of Tang Hao’s origin as onlookers watched in stunned silence.

• Chen Xinjie recognized the thunder as Yin Hongye’s tribulation and ordered a car to the northern outskirts.
• Qian Renxue and the ancient ferocious beasts sensed the lightning, and Di Tian wondered which soul beast was undergoing a tribulation.
