Yang Xiong and Lin Gong hunted a powerful Crimson Blood Thunder Dragon in the Star Dou Great Forest so Yang Xiong could claim it as his Fifth Soul Ring.

Yang Xiong entered Slaughter City after killing everyone in its tavern and was welcomed by a black-clad guide.

• The Slaughter King learned that Hegemon of the World was likely from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and chose not to target him yet.
• Lin Gong told Ning Fengzhi that Yang Xiong had entered Slaughter City, and Sword Douluo said he had approved the decision and would go after him if necessary.

After a year in Slaughter City and seventy-one Hell Slaughter Arena matches, Yang Xiong’s body martial soul and Sword Qi changed under the influence of slaughter qi, while his growing reputation made him a target.

• Yang Xiong survived repeated attacks in Slaughter City and won his second Hell Slaughter Arena match, sensing that each kill intensified the killing intent within him.

After Sword Douluo helped him learn to control Divine Slaughter's Domain, Yang Xiong spent a year cultivating in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect’s rear mountains and reached the peak of Level 60. With only a year left before Spirit Hall’s Soul Hunting Operation, he returned to the Body Sect to check on its affairs and prepare for the coming conflict.

• Yang Xiong reminded Lin Gong of a powerful Fire Attribute Soul Beast they had sensed in an abyss in Sunset Forest and said he wanted it for his Sixth Soul Ring.
• Lin Gong warned that absorbing a hundred-thousand-year Soul Ring as a Sixth Soul Ring was too dangerous, but Yang Xiong insisted his Asura Body could withstand it.
• Lin Gong agreed to test Yang Xiong’s physique before deciding whether his plan was possible.

Lin Gong gave him an 85,000-Year Blue Silver Grass Head Soul Bone, and Yang Xiong left determined to find a suitable Fire Attribute Power Type Soul Beast in Sunset Forest.

• Yang Xiong realized the Blue Silver Grass may have been the Blue Silver King and wondered whether its death would prevent Tang San from undergoing his Second Awakening.
• At home, Yang Xiong reconsidered the difficulty of absorbing a 100,000-Year Soul Ring and questioned whether the Ten Headed Fierce Yang Serpent Inner Core would suit his Body Martial Soul.

Yang Xiong strengthened his body and spiritual power with the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum and an 85,000-Year Blue Silver King Head Soul Bone, then returned to find the Body Sect thriving. He prepared to travel to Sunset Forest for his Sixth Soul Ring, armed with the Ten Headed Fierce Yang Serpent’s Inner Core and a plan to use it to empower a powerful Fire Attribute Soul Beast.

• Yang Xiong consumed the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum, which opened his meridians, strengthened his body, and changed his Demonic Patterns into golden lines.
