The Blood Souls Sea Tide erupted from the Blood Souls Cave, killing the Immortal Race Cultivators and many of the Blood Soul King Beast’s subordinates while blasting the Blood Soul King Beast and the Right Protector away.

The remnant soul eagerly accepted the offer, leaving Ye Han with a possible way to gain an ally and protect himself in the Upper Realm.

• Ye Han told the Blood Demon's remnant soul that his treasured cauldron might bring it out of the Divine Spirit Fire Pool, and the remnant soul reacted with delighted surprise.

Ye Han decided to loosen some of the seals imprisoning the Blood Demon's remnant soul so he could enlist its help against the powerful cultivators pursuing him. As Ye Han attacked the Divine Spirit Fire Pool's restrictions, the Blood Demon watched with an uncanny glint in his eyes.

• The Blood Demon's remnant soul complained of a foreboding danger, and Ye Han suspected it might be deceiving him while agreeing to try loosening its seals.
