• Huang Xiao's aura suddenly weakened, making Pang Yi suspect he had run out of moves, but Huang Xiao used the pause to recover and prepare.
• Huang Xiao evaded Pang Yi's attack, then turned and met him with a palm strike powered by Supreme Demonic Qi and Heavenly Demon Assembly.

• Shi Hen and Liu Tengfan defended Huang Xiao, and the experts turned to Mo Pozheng to decide the dispute.

Pang Yi shattered the Supreme Demon Pill for one final surge of power, but as their abilities waned, Huang Xiao regained enough control to keep dodging his attacks.

• Mo Pozheng ruled that Huang Xiao had not violated the rules because he had used the Supreme Ghost Stele's ghost qi rather than wielding the stele itself.

• Huang Xiao fell lifeless onto the arena floor, and the spectators sensed no trace of life.

Huang Xiao survived Pang Yi’s supposedly fatal blow, overturning the arena result and securing the Hall Master’s Seat. He revealed that he had used the Demon Spirit Sect’s Flesh and Blood Regeneration Method, leaving Mo Pozheng astonished by his knowledge of multiple sect techniques.

• Pang Yi believed his hidden-force punch had shattered Huang Xiao’s heart and claimed victory, while Pang Ji asked Mo Pozheng to announce the result.
• Demon Hall experts recalled that the Ghost Spirit Sect had a method for returning from death, but Pang Ji argued that Huang Xiao’s destroyed heart was too badly damaged to recover.
• As Mo Pozheng prepared to inspect Huang Xiao, Huang Xiao spoke and slowly sat up, proving he was alive; Shi Hen and Liu Tengfan celebrated while Pang Ji reacted with fury.
• Pang Ji accused Huang Xiao of using underhanded methods, but Shi Hen insisted the fight had taken place in full view of everyone.
• Huang Xiao stood and showed that his injuries had healed, explaining that the Ghost Spirit Sect’s Rebirth Method had not saved him; he had used the Demon Spirit Sect’s Flesh and Blood Regeneration Method instead.
• Mo Pozheng questioned how Huang Xiao had managed to use the method in such dire condition and expressed surprise at his knowledge of multiple sect techniques.

Huang Xiao defended his revival in the Hall Master Contest by claiming the fading aura of the Longevity Pill had helped him regenerate his heart. After he regrew a severed finger, Mo Pozheng declared him the winner and the new Hall Master, while Pang Ji rejected the result.

• Pang Ji accused Huang Xiao of using the Supreme Ghost Stele to cheat and demanded that he be disqualified.
• Huang Xiao said the aura of the Longevity Pill, preserved by Huo Lian, had helped him regenerate his heart, and Mo Pozheng accepted the explanation as plausible.

• Huang Xiao cut off his index finger and quickly grew a new one, demonstrating that he could regenerate flesh and blood.
• Mo Pozheng declared Huang Xiao the winner and new Hall Master, but Pang Ji raged that he would not accept the result.

Pang Ji challenged Mo Pozheng’s ruling that Huang Xiao had won the Hall Master’s Seat, and the dispute escalated into a fight. Mo Pozheng revealed that he had used Pang Ji’s force to activate the Arena’s formation, apparently to teleport Huang Xiao to the place where the new Hall Master could increase his strength.

• Pang Ji demanded that Huang Xiao be disqualified or fight Pang Yi again, but Mo Pozheng refused to change the announced result.

• Pang Ji blasted Shi Hen and Liu Tengfan aside and rushed for the arena.
• Mo Pozheng threw a black token toward Pang Ji, and its strange aura made Pang Ji and the surrounding Demon Hall experts struggle to move.
• Mo Pozheng identified the relic as the Supreme Demon Token bestowed by the First Hall Master and said Huang Xiao’s succession could no longer be stopped.
• Pang Ji roared that he would defy heaven and rewrite fate as his aura surged against the token’s influence.

Pang Ji resisted the Supreme Demon Token and tried to stop Huang Xiao from entering the Mysterious Land, but the arena formation halted him and Huang Xiao was teleported away. Pang Yi collapsed, and Mo Pozheng announced that Huang Xiao would become the new Hall Master when he returned.

• Pang Ji broke through much of the Supreme Demon Token's suppression and moved toward the arena while Huang Xiao struggled against the token's effects.
