• Bibi Dong arrived at Death Canyon with Hu Liena, Yan, and Xie Yue, and the guards opened the gate for them.

• Dai Chengfeng observed that Yan and Xie Yue also doubted him and invited both of them to join the bet, offering to let all three deal with him however they liked if he lost.

• Dai Chengfeng and the others entered Death Canyon through its opened gate.

Bibi Dong wagered her treasured soul bone against Qian Daoliu’s confidence that Qian Renxue would win, offering to put aside her prejudice against Qian Renxue if she lost. After entering Death Canyon, Hu Liena, Xie Yue, and Yan split off, while Qian Renxue stopped Dai Chengfeng from leaving with her to ask him something first.

• Bibi Dong challenged Qian Daoliu to bet on the Death Canyon competition, with her treasured soul bone at stake and a promise to put aside her prejudice against Qian Renxue if she lost.

• Hu Liena set off alone into the forest, and Xie Yue and Yan followed her despite their concern.
• Dai Chengfeng asked Qian Renxue whether they should split up, but she said she first wanted to ask him some things.

• Dai Chengfeng activated his Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear Arm Armor’s “Total Concentration” ability as the wolf attacked.

• Qian Renxue admired Dai Chengfeng’s power and asked whether Full Concentration was his strongest move.
• Qian Renxue abandoned her plan to split up from Dai Chengfeng and decided to follow him, intending to defeat him later as Xue Qinghe.

Dai Chengfeng discovered that the Fangtian Huaji needed a Soul Beast's soul to awaken its third core, and he absorbed the Shadow Night Nether Wolf's slaughter aura to strengthen himself. The halberd fully repaired itself and revealed its third core ability, Unrestrained Gallop, as Dai Chengfeng prepared for the trials ahead.

• Dai Chengfeng drove the Fangtian Huaji into the Shadow Night Nether Wolf's corpse, and the halberd began absorbing its flesh, blood, and soul.
• Dai Chengfeng refined the wolf's slaughter aura while Qian Renxue stood guard, and Qian Daoliu watched from the shadows as a rudimentary Divine Slaughter's Domain formed around him.
• Dai Chengfeng's Soul Power reached level 33, and he realized that absorbing more slaughter aura could help complete his domain.
• Dai Chengfeng saw that the Fangtian Huaji had drained the wolf's vital spirit and concluded that the weapon needed souls, not just blood, to evolve.
• Dai Chengfeng picked up the fully repaired Fangtian Huaji and discovered that its third core ability was Unrestrained Gallop.

• Tang San and Dai Mubai excitedly planned to make Shrek famous in Spirit City, and Yu Xiaogang praised them from outside the room.

• Qian Renxue demanded to know what Dai Chengfeng meant by saying she was six.

Dai Chengfeng used his domain to reduce himself, Qian Renxue, and the Human-Faced Demon Spider Emperor to six years old, while his own strength remained intact.
