Lin Tian confronted Yuanshi after destroying the Jade Void Palace, and Yuanshi conceded that the destruction should settle their dispute. Lin Tian rejected the concession and began recounting how Yuanshi’s earlier visit to Golden Turtle Island had benefited him instead.

• Lin Tian rejected Yuanshi’s claim that the score was settled and began recounting how Yuanshi had given him two top-grade Innate Supreme Treasures and helped temper his true body.

Lin Tian rejected Yuanshi’s attempt to appease him and made clear he would use his advantage as he pleased. The standoff left the Chan Sect in fear after one disciple died from the pressure, and Yuanshi pleaded with Lin Tian not to attack them further.

• The Chan Sect disciples inside Yuanshi’s barrier fought with petty tricks as those on the outer edge tried to squeeze toward safety.

As Lin Tian’s growing aura forced Yuanshi to shrink his protective perimeter, the Chan Sect disciples turned on one another to avoid being abandoned, bringing Yuanshi’s reputation into question among the watching creatures. With only Randeng and Guang Chengzi left, they decided to leave Yuanshi’s protection together and hope their move gave him a chance to counterattack.
