• Xiao Yu rescued the prisoners as Nie Li faced the Necromancer God, who attacked him with enormous skeletal palms.

• Nie Li stopped refining the Soul Essence Fruit before reaching Legendary Rank, and Xiao Ning'er spilled hot soup on herself while bringing him a bowl.
• The gate to the Seventh Layer opened, and Nie Li’s group passed through the first six layers, though Wei Nan, Zhang Ming, and Zhu Xiangjun were absent.

• As the crowd approached the tower, some experts entered while others fled howling from its intense heat.

Nie Li and his companions endured the Black Flame Tower’s trials, grew stronger, and reached its Third Layer, where they discovered a chained Heavenly Kirin Beast. Nie Li recognized it as a perfect Demon Spirit for Du Ze and tried to persuade the furious beast to cooperate.

• Nie Li realized Black Flame strengthened Duan Jian because of his Black Dragon Bloodline, and the group climbed to the second floor to cultivate.
• The Demon Lord passed Nie Li’s group on his way to the Third Layer, followed by Cang Ming, Huahuo, and Muye.
• Nie Li’s cultivation reacted to the Black Flame, and the energy shared through the Soul Magic Array helped everyone advance to Legendary rank.
• On the Third Layer, Lu Piao startled a chained beast awake, and Nie Li recognized it as a Heavenly Kirin Beast suited to Du Ze.
• Nie Li explained the beast’s immense potential and told him that his forming inner core would lead to his death, provoking the chained Heavenly Kirin Beast into roaring at him.
