• Pufferfish attacked Yu Luomian with poisoned spines, and Yu Luomian fled toward the summit, unaware that Yu Yuanzhen was already dead.

• The annihilation spread from Blue Dragon City across both empires, leaving other major forces afraid they might be next.
• Flender told Yu Xiaogang and Liu Erlong that the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan had been slaughtered overnight.

Yu Xiaogang learned that the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan had been destroyed and collapsed in fury, while Ning Bei and Qian Renxue planned to track Tang San as he pursued control of his new domain. In Slaughter City, A'Dai faced overwhelming opponents and considered using an unfinished technique.

• Flender told Yu Xiaogang and Liu Erlong that the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan had been destroyed, and Yu Xiaogang fainted after blaming Bibi Dong.
• Ning Bei praised the operation against the clan and told Qian Renxue to keep watch for Tang San, who might seek out Tang Yuehua.
• Tang San, hiding in the mountains after escaping Slaughter City, considered how to control Divine Slaughter's Domain and decided to wait for Hu Liena and A'Dai.
• Hu Liena watched A'Dai struggle against three Soul Douluo-level Fallen Ones and several Soul Saints in the Hell Slaughter Arena.
• A'Dai, badly wounded and unable to overcome his opponents with his first five scythe forms, debated whether to use his unfinished sixth move.

A'Dai faced nine seasoned fighters who tried to exhaust his Soul Power, but he revealed his sixth Self-Created Soul Skill and killed them all. After his hundredth victory, the arena hailed him as the Nether King, and blood-red bats appeared above the arena.

• Bald Soul Douluo led eight others in a cautious plan to wear A'Dai down, believing they had prepared for his five known Self-Created Soul Skills.
• A'Dai unleashed Nether Word Art, wounding Bald Soul Douluo with invisible blade energy that grew stronger over time.

• The silent spectators erupted into cheers for the Nether King, while Hu Liena celebrated A'Dai's victory.
• Blood-red bats appeared above the arena after A'Dai secured his hundredth victory.

A'Dai and Hu Liena entered Hell Road together and faced the Dark Gold Bat King blocking their way. After discovering that the monster could regenerate its head and split into smaller bats, A'Dai lured it into an attack and prepared a counterstrike.

• A'Dai refused the Slaughter King's offer to stay in Slaughter City, and Hu Liena joined him in choosing Hell Road.
• The Slaughter King opened the passage, and A'Dai and Hu Liena leapt into it together.
• A'Dai and Hu Liena crossed the narrow path above a mixture of blood and magma, then found a skeleton and encountered the Dark Gold Bat King.
• A'Dai destroyed one of the Bat King's heads, but it regenerated, and the monster transformed into a swarm of small bats.
• A'Dai baited the Dark Gold Bat King into charging from behind and unleashed Nether King's Second Flash, Ghosts and Gods Frightened.

A'Dai and Hu Liena defeated the Dark Gold Three-Headed Bat King, then continued along the Hell Road and encountered a poisonous Giant Serpent. They discovered the serpent’s back protrusions held strong life force, but A'Dai’s attack could not pierce its defenses, and its charge shattered the stone path beneath them.

• A'Dai and Hu Liena coordinated their attacks to destroy all three of the Dark Gold Three-Headed Bat King’s heads at once, ending the swarm of small bats.
• The Bat King bit Hu Liena’s shoulder before A'Dai caught her, healed her with an Elixir, and endured her angry curses.
• A'Dai and Hu Liena continued along the increasingly hot road, where A'Dai warned that the quiet journey might hide another danger.
• A'Dai sensed strong life force in the Giant Serpent’s mushroom-like back protrusions, and Hu Liena planned to attack them while he drew its attention.
• A'Dai’s strike failed against the Giant Serpent’s defenses, and its charge broke the stone path open above the lava.

Hu Liena and A'Dai fought the Giant Serpent by breaking the Inner Cores on its back while avoiding its flames. After Hu Liena was struck toward the magma, A'Dai rescued her, and both survived on the stone bridge.

• Hu Liena cracked one of the Giant Serpent's protrusions, and she and A'Dai continued attacking the same spots until they shattered it.
• The Giant Serpent raised walls of fire around Hu Liena and A'Dai, so A'Dai drew its attention while Hu Liena attacked its Inner Cores from behind.
• A'Dai and Hu Liena shattered several more Inner Cores, but the Giant Serpent swept away the stone piers and knocked Hu Liena toward the magma.
• A'Dai shattered all the Giant Serpent's Inner Cores except the one at its heart, then leapt after Hu Liena and caught her before she fell into the magma.
• A'Dai used his intangible form to survive in the magma, and Hu Liena pulled him back onto the stone bridge.

A'Dai and Hu Liena escaped Slaughter City by outmaneuvering the Blood Red Nine-Headed Bat and reaching the cave exit. Outside, their accumulated killing intent overwhelmed Hu Liena, who turned on A'Dai as he tried to resist its influence.

• A'Dai and Hu Liena followed the path toward the exit after surviving the giant snake, but the Blood Red Nine-Headed Bat attacked them near the cave entrance.
• A'Dai carried Hu Liena onto the bat's neck with Nether King's Flash, then threw her toward the entrance so she could hook her tail around a stone pillar.
• Hu Liena pulled A'Dai into the cave just before the bat struck the cliff, and they rolled out into the sunlight.
• A'Dai and Hu Liena celebrated their escape and spoke of returning to their loved ones, but the killing intent from Slaughter City surged into their minds.
• A'Dai swallowed a Soul Cleansing Pill and regained control, while Hu Liena's domain emerged and she stabbed her fox tail toward him, snarling, "Kill."

After surviving Slaughter City, A'Dai and Hu Liena recovered from a burst of killing intent, discussed their plans, and set out together. Tang San intercepted them by a river valley and asked about their method for controlling killing intent, leaving A'Dai and Hu Liena wary and unwilling to share it.

• A'Dai used a Soul Cleansing Pill to restore Hu Liena's clarity after she lost control, then collapsed from exhaustion beside her.
• A'Dai and Hu Liena woke, discussed their plans to return to their respective destinations, and compared the effects of Divine Slaughter's Domain.
• A'Dai and Hu Liena traveled together and found Tang San waiting for them in a secluded valley after A'Dai detected blood by the river.
• Tang San asked whether they knew how to control killing intent, and A'Dai refused to share the method with someone who was neither friend nor family.

Tang San failed to learn the origin of the pills from Hu Liena and A'Dai, while A'Dai's God of Death Magic Scythe stirred toward Death Canyon and led him to travel there with Hu Liena. Meanwhile, Qian Renxue and Ning Bei prepared to absorb the Lower Four Sects and consider their next moves against the Four Single-Attribute Clans.

• Tang San asked A'Dai for a way to control his killing intent, but A'Dai refused to reveal the sect secret, and Tang San left without fighting.
• After several days of traveling, A'Dai's God of Death Magic Scythe trembled at a fork in the road, drawing him toward Death Canyon, so he chose to accompany Hu Liena east.
• Hu Liena told A'Dai that Death Canyon had been an ancient battlefield where powerful people died, and A'Dai decided to investigate what was attracting his Martial Soul.
• News that the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan had been wiped out spread across the continent and alarmed the other factions.
• Qian Renxue and Ning Bei discussed taking down the Lower Four Sects, then targeting the Four Single-Attribute Clans and possibly recruiting the Breaking Clan and Defense Clan.

Reunited with his teacher, Tang San comforted him and blamed Spirit Hall, leaving Yu Xiaogang with renewed hope.

• Yu Xiaogang suggested that controlling emotional fluctuations could help Tang San master the domain.

• Tang Yuehua warmly examined Tang San and asked where Tang Hao was, but Tang San said he had not seen his father in nearly ten years.
