With Tang San’s injuries still untreated, they planned to trade Shi Nian’s Soul Bone to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect for healing treasures and to build an alliance against Spirit Hall.

After Tang Hao’s death, Xiao Yu recruited the Defense and Speed Clans, received two Red Grade Summoning Cards, and summoned Fudō and Kanon. He absorbed a 100,000-year Nether Dragon King torso Soul Bone, reaching the peak of Level 69, and prepared to stabilize his power before attempting Level 70.

• Saga rescued Bai He and Niu Gao, and the Defense and Speed Clans joined the Nine Stars Hall; Titan left Dragon Arising City after the clan leaders pleaded for him.
• The system rewarded Xiao Yu for recruiting the clans and detecting Tang Hao’s death, granting him two Red Grade Summoning Cards and 18,000 Diamonds.
• Xiao Yu used the cards to summon Virgo Gold Saint Fudō and Gemini Gold Saint Kanon, then wondered whether Kanon and Saga could perform a powerful Martial Soul Fusion Skill.
• Xiao Yu exchanged his Diamonds for a 100,000-year Nether Dragon King torso Soul Bone and absorbed it successfully.
• The Soul Bone raised Xiao Yu’s Soul Power to the peak of Level 69, and he chose to stabilize his cultivation before attempting the Level 70 breakthrough and his Martial Soul’s first evolution.

Xiao Yu broke through level seventy, evolved his Martial Soul into the Underworld Monarch Martial Soul, and awakened the Underworld God Domain. The domain transported him to the system's Netherworld, where he fought a powerful skeleton.

• The system explained that Xiao Yu's evolved Martial Soul and Underworld King Power had connected his domain to the Netherworld.
• A giant skeleton attacked Xiao Yu, who blocked its strike with Underworld Emperor Protection and split it in two with his fifth spirit ring.

Xiao Yu learned that the Netherworld was an independent plane and that defeating its guardians could make him its Lord, allowing him to change its rules. He planned to use the Netherworld as a training ground, but learned that once he crossed the Gates of Hell, he would be unable to return to Douluo Star until he cleared the entire realm.

• After Xiao Yu defeated the giant skeleton, the shadows bowed to him, and the system explained that the skeleton had attacked because it sensed his Underworld King Power and feared losing control of Yomotsu Hirasaka.
• Xiao Yu learned that the Netherworld was independent of Douluo Star’s rules, but that summoned Saint Seiya such as Saga would be assimilated by its rules if they entered.
• The system told Xiao Yu he could change the Netherworld’s rules by becoming its Lord, which required defeating the guardians of its strongholds.
• The system showed Xiao Yu a map of the Netherworld, from Yomotsu Hirasaka and the Gates of Hell through the Eight Prisons and the Fourth Circle, where the guardians grew increasingly powerful.
• Xiao Yu learned that Douluo Star Soul Masters within his Underworld God Domain could enter and return freely while they remained in Yomotsu Hirasaka, but crossing the Gates of Hell would prevent their return until the Netherworld was cleared.

Xiao Yu trapped Xiao Wu in an illusion of Tang San and Tang Hao rescuing her, then killed Tang San before her eyes. Xiao Wu began sacrificing herself, leaving the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast’s sacrifice underway.

• Xiao Yu decided he had to enter the Netherworld alone and considered whom to bring, while preparing to absorb his seventh spirit ring.

• Xue Qinghe visited Nine Stars Hall on behalf of Xue Ye and Ning Fengzhi, and Qian Renxue congratulated Xiao Yu while envying his progress.

Qian Renxue told Xiao Yu that Heaven Dou’s leaders wanted to know about the rabbit’s sacrifice, and he agreed she could reveal the truth. She gave him the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud, while Xiao Yu proposed a substitute to free her from palace duties and invited her to join his Netherworld trial plan.

• Qian Renxue asked whether she should tell Xue Ye and Ning Fengzhi about the sacrifice, and Xiao Yu said the news could strengthen Nine Stars Hall’s reputation.
• Xiao Yu revealed that absorbing the rabbit’s sacrifice had raised his Soul Power to rank seventy-four, then urged Qian Renxue to reduce her duties as Xue Qinghe.
• Qian Renxue explained that a substitute could not convincingly replace her for long, so Xiao Yu offered Nine Stars Hall’s disguise Soul Tools and Titled Douluo protection.
• Xiao Yu invited Qian Renxue to enter a secret trial realm with him, but she said she needed time to decide.
