• He used the Skeleton Magic Staff to cast Bone Spears, Fear Barrier, and Weakening Barrier, slowing and injuring the advancing demons.
• Han Shuo tried twice to summon Undead and contact Little Skeleton but failed because the Space-Time Turbulence Domain disrupted planar connections.
• He released the Bloodlust Banner, which altered the demons’ blood flow until the creatures caught in its mist swelled and burst apart.

Han Shuo fought off endless Abyss demons while the planar gateway began to close, only to be struck down by the Ancient Giant Dragon and trapped in the Abyss. He realized the Church of Light had turned the dragon against him, and vowed that every betrayer would pay if he ever returned to the Qio Continent.

• Han Shuo used the Bloodlust Banner to slaughter Abyss demons, but fifteen falcon-like demons tore a small hole in it with coordinated attacks.

• Han Shuo burst into a new landscape as the chaotic force of the spatial rupture surged behind him.

After arriving in a savage new plane, Han Shuo escaped a collapsing mountain and searched for a safe place to heal. He discovered he could communicate directly with Little Skeleton, then hid beneath a poisonous swamp to recover.

Han Shuo cut through Poison Fang Fort’s forces to help Haimanna, Xierfu, and the Xieluo Squad retreat. After reaching them, he studied Nanzhaluo’s cultivation and began to suspect that combining the Abyss’s body-focused method with the Qio Continent’s soul-focused method could reveal the secret of godhood, then startled Nanzhaluo with his intense stare.

• Nanzhaluo ordered the group to return to Battle Demon Valley at top speed and report the danger to Keluoxius.

Han Shuo arrived at Battle Demon Valley and learned that the Abyss’s strongest beings included five Demon Kings who had reached their power through their own cultivation. As Haimanna and Xierfu competed to show him around, a Demigod arrived and threatened them for defying his claim over them.

• Nanzhaluo brought Han Shuo and the Xieluo Squad into Battle Demon Valley, then left to report to Lord Keluoxius.
• Han Shuo sensed six Demigods and Keluoxius, whose strength had reached the True God realm.
