• Ye Han recovered the Purple Cauldron and saw that it had absorbed the Purple Metal Runes from the dragon’s head.

Ye Han stole the Purple Metal Runes from the blood-red Giant Dragon, then killed him from within and claimed his soul, corpse, and Dragon-Locking Chain. After finding nothing else in the Golden Spirit Hall, Ye Han left, and the Dragon-Shaped Token suddenly flew away on its own.

• Ye Han used the Purple Cauldron to absorb the Purple Metal Runes from the blood-red Giant Dragon, strengthening the cauldron with restriction-breaking power.

• A vast spiritual-energy hand descended on Ye Han as a domineering voice declared that he could not leave the divine palace.

• Ye Han fled deeper into the Golden Spirit Hall, whose golden barrier repelled the ring and devoured the surrounding ghostly figures.
• The Divine Emperor cursed Xue Chan and General Lu, spat out poisonous essence blood, threatened Ye Han, and flew back toward the Water Spirit Coffin.
