Tang San completed the first phase of training beneath the waterfall, and Tang Hao announced they would leave to obtain a Spirit Ring before starting the next phase. Meanwhile, Hu Liena worried about Yu Xiaogang exposing their relationship, while Yu Xiaogang grew more comfortable remaining in the City of Slaughter.

• The Slaughter Maid judged Yu Xiaogang to be cowardly and domineering as he relied on her protection in the City of Slaughter.
• Yu Xiaogang heard that Xiao Yu and Hu Liena had each surpassed forty matches in the Hell Slaughter Arena, then returned his attention to gambling.
• Xiao Yu reassured Hu Liena that Yu Xiaogang was unlikely to leave the City of Slaughter or reveal their relationship to Bibi Dong.
• Tang San completed eighty-one rounds of the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer beneath the waterfall, forcing its current backward for several seconds.
• Tang Hao told Tang San they would obtain a new Spirit Ring the next day and then begin the second phase of training.
• Tang San excitedly asked whether Tang Hao would finally let him attach Spirit Rings to the Clear Sky Hammer.

Tang Hao brought Tang San to a hidden cave behind a waterfall near Holy Spirit Village and ordered him to kneel before a strange Blue Silver Grass. Tang San obeyed, and golden-veined vines began to wrap around him.

• Tang Hao told Tang San not to add soul rings to the Clear Sky Hammer and promised he would break through to Soul Emperor the next day.
• Tang San worried that his Soul Power was only around level fifty-six and questioned whether he could reach level sixty overnight.
• Tang Hao and Tang San traveled for a week by forest paths and returned to the area near Holy Spirit Village without entering the village.
• Tang Hao led Tang San through a waterfall into a hidden cave containing a large Blue Silver Grass with golden veins.
• Tang Hao ordered Tang San to kneel before the Blue Silver Grass, and Tang San obeyed.
• Golden-veined vines slowly wound around Tang San as the Blue Silver Grass responded to their shared bloodline.

Tang Hao gave Tang San his mother's hundred-thousand-year Blue Silver Emperor Leg Bone, which raised Tang San to level fifty-eight, but still refused to explain his mother's past. He then brought Tang San to a forest filled with Blue Silver Grass, where an ancient voice hailed Tang San as its king.

• Tang Hao told Tang San to bow to the Blue Silver Grass because it was connected to his mother, then showed him the soul bone she had left behind.
• Tang Hao identified the soul bone as a hundred-thousand-year Blue Silver Emperor Leg Bone and refused to answer Tang San's questions about his mother until he passed his test.
• Tang San absorbed the soul bone smoothly, gained two levels, and reached Soul Power Level fifty-eight.
• Tang Hao led Tang San away from the waterfall cave, where Tang San noticed the Blue Silver Grass retreat whenever it tried to approach him.
• Tang San and Tang Hao traveled to a forest thick with Blue Silver Grass, and Tang San felt at home there.
• An aged, gentle voice spoke in Tang San's spiritual world and asked whether he had finally returned as their king.

Tang San followed the Blue Silver King into the Blue Silver Forest to awaken his Blue Silver Emperor bloodline and gain a sixth Spirit Ring. After seven days, the awakening failed because his bloodline was too impure, and the Blue Silver King rejected him as their king.

• Tang Hao told Tang San to follow the voice calling him and seek his sixth Spirit Ring in the Blue Silver Forest.
• Tang San met the Blue Silver King, who explained that Tang San carried the Blue Silver Emperor bloodline and offered to sacrifice himself as Tang San’s sixth Spirit Ring.
• Tang San agreed to undergo the awakening, and the Blue Silver King used the forest’s life force to cleanse his bloodline for seven days.
• The Blue Silver King discovered that Tang San’s Blue Silver Emperor bloodline was too impure to awaken and said he could no longer help him.
• The Blue Silver King told Tang San to leave, declaring that he was not the king the Blue Silver Clan had awaited.

Tang San failed to awaken the Blue Silver Emperor bloodline because the Blue Silver King said his bloodline was too mixed, and he was expelled from the Blue Silver Forest after demanding more life force. Tang Hao learned of the failure and erupted in anger, then demanded to know what had corrupted Tang San’s bloodline.

• The Blue Silver King told Tang San that his mixed bloodline prevented him from awakening the Blue Silver Emperor and blamed him for contaminating it.
• Tang San demanded that the Blue Silver King use more life force, but the king revealed that over sixty percent of the Blue Silver Forest’s subjects had already died and drove him out.
• Tang Hao found Tang San unchanged and learned that he had failed to awaken the Blue Silver Emperor bloodline.
• Tang Hao unleashed his Titled Douluo aura and killing domain, then asked Tang San what had made his bloodline so mixed.
• Tang Hao recalled how Ah Yin’s life force had saved him and recognized the immense life force held within the Blue Silver Forest.

Tang Hao realized Tang San’s bloodline may have been corrupted by absorbing spirit beasts’ life force and Soul Power, preventing his Blue Silver Emperor awakening. He took Tang San back to their waterfall home to resume training and delayed the next stage of his plans.

• Tang San suggested that absorbing spirit beasts’ life force and Soul Power had made his bloodline impure, and Tang Hao agreed it was a likely cause of the failed awakening.
• Tang Hao blamed himself for approving Tang San’s rapid cultivation and decided to leave the Blue Silver Forest until its life force recovered and Tang San’s blood could be purified.
• Tang Hao ordered Tang San to stop using Evil Spirit Master cultivation methods and to cultivate normally until he reached Titled Douluo before attempting another awakening.
• Tang Hao delayed Tang San’s second phase of training until he reached level sixty and obtained his sixth soul ring, and forbade him from absorbing spirit beasts’ life force.
• Tang Hao brought Tang San back to the waterfall and assigned him phase 1.5 training: using the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer to fight the current and climb upward.

• Yu Xiaogang agreed to write the invitation, believing it was a trivial favor.

• Bibi Dong drank Yu Xiaogang’s beverage, felt her spirit recover, and agreed to visit him every month.

• The King of Slaughter congratulated Xiao Yu and Hu Liena as new killing gods, and the crowd celebrated.

Xiao Yu and Hu Liena refused the King of Slaughter’s offer to become Slaughter Gods without passing Hell Road and were sent to the trial’s starting platform.

Sleeping Dragon killed the Three-Headed Bat, and Xiao Yu and Hu Liena reached the apparent exit of the City of Slaughter. Xiao Yu turned back after realizing the Ten Headed Fierce Yang Serpent was still missing, while the serpent revealed that it had hidden from them in fear.

• Sleeping Dragon tore apart and killed the Three-Headed Bat, then roared as the Blood Bats fled under its Dragon Might.
• Xiao Yu and Hu Liena continued through the City of Slaughter and reached a cliff overlooking a vast blood pool and a space vortex that appeared to be the exit.
• Xiao Yu wondered where the Ten Headed Fierce Yang Serpent was and considered whether its Inner Core could upgrade Hu Liena's martial soul.
• Hu Liena spoke excitedly about bathing with Xiao Yu after they escaped, but Xiao Yu told her to turn back and headed away from the exit.
• The Ten Headed Fierce Yang Serpent explained that it had seen Sleeping Dragon kill the Dark Gold Three-Headed Bat King, feared the same fate, and hidden until Xiao Yu and Hu Liena passed.

Xiao Yu had Sleeping Dragon kill the Ten Headed Fierce Yang Serpent and claimed its Inner Core, which he believed could evolve Hu Liena’s incomplete Martial Soul. After returning through the vortex, he released Divine Slaughter's Domain and combined it with True Dragon Nine Crowns, transforming the domain’s killing intent into nine colossal dragons.

• Sleeping Dragon killed the Ten Headed Fierce Yang Serpent on Xiao Yu’s orders, and Xiao Yu retrieved its Inner Core.

• After Xiao Yu and Hu Liena departed, Ghost Douluo told Chrysanthemum Douluo that Hu Liena had been with Xiao Yu for some time and questioned whether the current Pope was still the same person as before.

After Bibi Dong left the City of Slaughter, the King of Slaughter revealed that he planned to use a specially prepared Scarlet Mary to make her succumb to him next month.
