Xia Liang wounded Yu Xiaogang with Black Flame, escaped with the unconscious Dugu Bo, and left Shrek Academy facing the consequences of Tang Hao’s death. Ning Fengzhi and Gu Rong arrived among the ruins, where Tang San protected Xiao Wu and Flender considered seeking the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect’s support.

• Tang San attacked Xia Liang with Hidden Weapons, but Xia Liang’s Black-Purple Ribs blocked them, and Xia Liang blamed Tang San for setting off the chain of events that killed Tang Hao.
• Yu Xiaogang defended Tang San and threatened Xia Liang, who burned Yu Xiaogang with Black Flame before stopping the attack and leaving a lingering flame on his life root.
• Flender severed Yu Xiaogang’s life root to extinguish the Black Flame, while Liu Erlong wept over him.
• Xia Liang escaped through Spatial Teleportation with the unconscious Dugu Bo, and Flender realized Shrek Academy might need the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect’s protection.
• Ning Fengzhi and Gu Rong arrived through a black vortex, and Ning Fengzhi asked Flender whether a battle between Titled Douluo had taken place.

After Tang Hao’s death, Ning Fengzhi refused to help Tang San take revenge because Xia Liang was the Crown Prince’s sworn brother, and he offered Shrek Academy support to settle elsewhere. At Dugu Manor, Ye Lingling treated Dugu Bo while Xia Liang absorbed Tang Hao’s undead, reached level sixty, and began planning his next Soul Ring and how to explain his rapid cultivation to Qian Renxue.

• Flender revealed that Tang San was Tang Hao’s son and urged Ning Fengzhi to help avenge him by targeting Dugu Bo or Xia Liang.
• Ning Fengzhi refused to oppose Dugu Bo or Xia Liang because Xia Liang was the Crown Prince’s sworn brother, but offered to fund Shrek Academy’s relocation.
• Tang San accepted Ning Fengzhi’s offer of future guidance and followed Flender and Liu Erlong back to Shrek Academy with Xiao Wu.
• Ye Lingling healed part of Dugu Bo’s injuries with her Nine Heart Begonia Martial Soul, then Dugu Yan escorted her away to rest.
• Xia Liang spent three hours refining Tang Hao’s undead, raised his Soul Power from level fifty-eight to level sixty, and decided to pursue the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger as his Sixth Soul Ring.
• Xia Liang considered telling Qian Renxue that he was undergoing a dark deity’s nine trials to explain his unusually rapid cultivation.

Xia Liang helped Dugu Bo absorb Tang Hao’s Soul Bones to prepare for the Clear Sky Sect’s retaliation, then visited Qian Renxue to ask for help obtaining his Sixth Soul Ring. He admitted that he had already reached the rank 60 bottleneck, leaving Qian Renxue to consider his request and his unexpectedly rapid cultivation.

• Xia Liang woke Dugu Bo and told him Tang Hao was dead, then offered him Tang Hao’s Soul Bones to strengthen him against the Clear Sky Sect.
• Xia Liang reserved Tang Hao’s eighty-thousand-year Head Soul Bone for Dugu Yan and persuaded Dugu Bo to absorb the remaining five Soul Bones.

• Xia Liang went to the Imperial Palace to ask Qian Renxue to have a Worship Hall Titled Douluo hunt a Dark Demon Evil God Tiger for his Sixth Soul Ring.
• Qian Renxue asked Xia Liang about Tang Hao’s death and noticed his Soul Power resonance; Xia Liang revealed that he had reached rank 60 and needed his Sixth Soul Ring.

Xia Liang revealed to Qian Renxue that a deity protected him and explained how his mutated God-Tier Martial Soul could be restored with Dark Soul Beast Soul Rings. He persuaded her to help him hunt a powerful Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, and the two began preparing to test their Martial Soul Fusion Skill.

• Xia Liang showed Qian Renxue his five Soul Rings, including a Ten-Thousand-Year Fourth Soul Ring and a fifty-thousand-year Fifth Soul Ring, then claimed a deity protected him.
• Xia Liang demonstrated how his Necromancer Skeleton Martial Soul could grow from a rib into an armored form and said he needed Dark Soul Beast Soul Rings to restore it.
• Xia Liang proposed hunting a nearly sixty-thousand-year Dark Demon Evil God Tiger and asked Qian Renxue for help securing a Titled Douluo powerful enough to defeat it.
• Qian Renxue agreed to handle the hunt after Xia Liang implied she could not mobilize anyone stronger than Pufferfish and Snake Lance Douluo.
• Qian Renxue suggested that she and Xia Liang try a Martial Soul Fusion Skill, and Xia Liang moved close to her, saying physical contact was required.

Xia Liang and Qian Renxue attempted a Martial Soul Fusion Skill, discovering that her Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul concealed dark energy that prevented their fusion from succeeding. A month later, Tang San arrived with Tang Yuehua at the Clear Sky Sect, determined to learn why his father had been expelled and to avenge his death.

• Xia Liang persuaded Qian Renxue to hold hands with him and attempt a Martial Soul Fusion Skill.
• Xia Liang and Qian Renxue synchronized their thoughts and merged their auras, but their Martial Soul Fusion failed because Qian Renxue's Six-Winged Angel concealed dark energy.
• Xia Liang concluded that his Necromancer Skeleton Martial Soul would need to become a God-Tier Martial Soul to fuse with both sides of Qian Renxue's Martial Soul, then left to search for the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger.
• Tang Yuehua brought Tang San to the Clear Sky Sect so he could meet its Sect Master and learn about Tang Hao's expulsion and Tang San's mother's secrets.
• Tang San showed the Clear Sky Hammer as his sect token and followed Tang Yuehua to the Sect Master's door, where they were invited inside.

Tang San learned the truth about his parents from Tang Xiao and sought to return to the Clear Sky Sect, while Xia Liang nurtured a Blue Silver Emperor seedling as the basis for a future Second Martial Soul. The chapter ended with the seedling transforming into a cocoon after reaching a thousand years of cultivation.

• Tang Xiao learned that Tang San was Tang Hao's son and mourned Tang Hao's death, vowing to avenge him when the Clear Sky Sect left seclusion.
• Tang Xiao told Tang San that his mother, Ah Yin, had been a Hundred-Thousand-Year Blue Silver Emperor who took human form, and recounted his parents' story.
• Tang San pledged to cultivate for the Clear Sky Sect and avenge his father, while Tang Xiao warned that the Elders would have to approve his return.
• Xia Liang fed his blood to the Blue Silver Emperor Grass Pile at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, hoping to accelerate its growth and awaken a Dark-Attribute Devouring ability.
• After half a month, the Blue Silver Emperor Grass Pile reached a thousand years of cultivation and transformed into a blue-gold vine cocoon.

Xia Liang learned that Haunter had found a likely Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, while Qian Renxue returned to Spirit City to ask the Worship Hall for help hunting it. After hearing about Xia Liang and his connection to Qian Renxue, Qian Daoliu decided to lead the expedition himself.

• Xia Liang examined the Blue Silver Emperor Cocoon and found that it had developed an egg-like structure, but it showed no sign of gaining dark or devouring abilities.
• Haunter sent Xia Liang word that its scouts near the Star Dou Great Forest had found a winged black tiger likely to be the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger.
• Qian Renxue returned to Spirit City and asked the Worship Hall enshriners to help obtain soul rings for herself and Xia Liang.
• Qian Renxue told Qian Daoliu and the enshriners about Xia Liang's dark deity inheritance, their Martial Soul resonance, and their sworn-brother relationship.
• Qian Daoliu refused to send the enshriners to face the sixty-thousand-year Dark Demon Evil God Tiger and chose to lead the group himself.

Qian Daoliu agreed to help Xia Liang hunt the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger and tested his abilities, finding him capable of absorbing a powerful sixth soul ring. Meanwhile, Bibi Dong ordered Salas to investigate Xia Liang after learning he had helped kill Tang Hao, and the chapter ended with the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger asleep in a cave.

• Qian Daoliu left the Worship Hall with Qian Renxue to help her obtain a soul ring and assist Xia Liang in hunting the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger.
• Salas reported Tang Hao's death to Bibi Dong, who ordered him to investigate and capture the Poison Douluo's grandson-in-law, Xia Liang.
• Xia Liang met Qian Daoliu at the Star Dou Great Forest and demonstrated his Skeleton Martial Soul and Bone Transformation Susanoo.
• Qian Daoliu sparred with Xia Liang in his Spiritual World and judged that his physical condition and Spiritual Power could support a soul ring of up to ninety thousand years.
• Xia Liang and Qian Daoliu prepared to hunt the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, which slept in a mist-shrouded valley cave.

Xia Liang and Qian Renxue accompanied Qian Daoliu to hunt the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, which Qian Daoliu defeated with a single surprise attack. Xia Liang absorbed its Soul Ring and Life Bead through his Necromancer Skeleton Martial Soul, and the chapter ended as his new power transformed Susanoo into a towering winged giant.

• Xia Liang warned Qian Daoliu about the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger’s intelligence and time-space domain, while Qian Daoliu confirmed the danger from ancient records.
• Qian Daoliu ambushed the sleeping Dark Demon Evil God Tiger with Angel’s Judgment, devastating its cave and leaving the beast near death.
• Xia Liang used Soul Reaping to bypass Evil God’s Protection, beheaded the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, and watched its Soul Ring and Life Bead emerge.
• Xia Liang’s Bone Transformation Susanoo devoured the Soul Ring and Life Bead, giving him a sixth Soul Ring fused with the Evil God Bloodline.
• Xia Liang’s Susanoo grew into a fifty-meter Black-Purple Giant with Dark Demon Evil God Tiger wings, and Qian Renxue and Qian Daoliu watched in alarm.

Xia Liang gained the Evil God King's Nine Examinations and discovered that his sixth Soul Skill could restore sealed dead souls to powerful forms. He used it to bring Tang Hao back as a controllable living dead and prepared to test his new strength against him.

• Qian Daoliu and Qian Renxue saw Xia Liang inside his transformed Martial Soul and recognized the mark on his forehead as a God's Examination Mark.
• Xia Liang learned that he had received the Evil God King's Nine Examinations, whose first task required him to reach Rank Seventy and obtain a Martial Soul Avatar and a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring within one year.
• Xia Liang considered entering Slaughter City to gain strength and obtain Asura God's inheritance, using Tang Hao's memories to find its location.
• Xia Liang examined Reverse Life-Death Arena and used Tang Hao's sealed right-arm soul to restore him to his Rank Eighty-Nine form from before Ah Yin's sacrifice.
• Tang Hao realized Xia Liang had brought him back as a controllable living dead, and Xia Liang summoned his Full-Body Giant form to use Tang Hao as a sparring partner.

After absorbing his Sixth Soul Ring, Xia Liang learned that he had regained the Evil God's inheritance and faced a one-year trial to reach Level 70 and obtain a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring. He planned to train in Slaughter City, while Qian Daoliu covertly schemed to bind him to Qian Renxue and Xia Liang recommended a Soul Beast for her Sixth Soul Ring.

• Tang Hao detonated all eight of his Soul Rings and clashed with Xia Liang's Bone Transformation Susanoo, allowing Xia Liang to complete his Sixth Soul Ring absorption.
• Xia Liang's Necromancer Skeleton Martial Soul evolved into a flying giant form, but its slow cultivation left him needing to reach Level 70 within a year for the Evil God's first examination.
• Xia Liang told Qian Daoliu that he had inherited the Evil God's Nine Examinations, and Qian Daoliu recognized the inheritance as God King-level.
• Xia Liang decided to train in Slaughter City, and Qian Daoliu gave him a Golden Feather to deter the King of Slaughter while secretly plotting to make Xia Liang and Qian Renxue a couple.
• Qian Renxue asked Xia Liang to choose a Soul Beast for her Sixth Soul Ring, and he recommended a fifty-thousand-year Golden Fire Silver Wolf.

Xia Liang and Qian Renxue searched the Star Dou Great Forest for a Golden Fire Silver Wolf to become her Sixth Soul Ring, while Xia Liang evolved Haunter into Gengar. After locating the wolf, they discovered Scarlet King and a Three-Eyed Golden Lion nearby, leaving the hunt poised to become far more dangerous.

• Qian Renxue accepted the Golden Fire Silver Wolf as her prospective Sixth Soul Ring, and Xia Liang, Qian Renxue, and Qian Daoliu searched the Star Dou Great Forest's Core Area for one.
• Xia Liang evolved Haunter into Gengar, and the Gengars searching the forest discovered the Lake of Life and Xiao Wu with the Titan Giant Ape and Sky Azure Bull Python.
• A Gengar found a Golden Fire Silver Wolf with cultivation close to fifty thousand years, and Xia Liang told Qian Daoliu and Qian Renxue they had located it.
• Xia Liang stopped Qian Daoliu from approaching the Golden Fire Silver Wolf and used his X-ray Vision to spot Scarlet King watching it.
• A golden, lion-like Soul Beast appeared beside Scarlet King, and Xia Liang recognized it as the Three-Eyed Golden Lion.

Xia Liang, Qian Renxue, and Qian Daoliu encountered Scarlet King, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, and the Golden Fire Silver Wolf in the Star Dou Great Forest, then fled when the forest’s true ruler attacked. As Qian Renxue’s fear transformed her angelic power, her Martial Soul fused with Xia Liang’s and a third form to create a Twelve-Winged Chaos Angel.

• Xia Liang explained that Scarlet King was a powerful Three-Headed Crimson Demonic Mastiff and that the Three-Eyed Golden Lion possessed ultimate light and fire attributes.
• Qian Daoliu flew after Scarlet King and the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, knocked out the Golden Fire Silver Wolf, and stored it in his Soul Tool.
• The Star Dou Great Forest’s ruler attacked with a terrifying Ultimate Dark Aura and a massive dragon claw, forcing Qian Daoliu to flee with Xia Liang and Qian Renxue.
• Xia Liang carried Qian Renxue away from the attack, and her fear caused the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul’s light attribute to mutate into darkness.
• The Necromancer Skeleton, Six-Winged Angel, and Fallen Angel Martial Souls fused into a black-purple-armored, twelve-winged Chaos Angel.

After escaping the Star Dou Great Forest’s Core Area, Xia Liang discovered the nearly million-year-old Sky Dream Ice Silkworm and considered using it to strengthen the Blue Silver Emperor Cocoon. Ditian ordered Scarlet King to hunt the Ice Silkworm for its energy, while Xia Liang’s Gengar found it first.

• Qian Renxue absorbed the Golden Fire Silver Wolf’s Soul Ring while Xia Liang rested and recovered his Soul Power.
• Ditian explained that Qian Daoliu’s divine power had made pursuit too dangerous, then ordered Scarlet King to find the Ice Silkworm and bring it back for cultivation.
• Sky Dream Ice Silkworm hid invisibly in a cave, lamented the dangers of the Star Dou Great Forest, and fell asleep while longing for Ice Empress.
• A Gengar found the sleeping Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, and Xia Liang used its vision to identify the Soul Beast and recognize its potential as food for the Blue Silver Emperor Cocoon.
• Xia Liang considered how the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm could help create a million-year Blue Silver Emperor Soul Ring, Soul Bone, and Second Martial Soul, but worried about the cocoon surviving repeated heavenly tribulations.

Xia Liang captured the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm and watched Qian Renxue advance to Soul Emperor after absorbing the Golden Fire Silver Wolf's soul ring. He then fought Qian Renxue to determine their sworn-brother seniority, revealing the Bone Transformation Susanoo Giant and defeating her; the chapter ended with him catching her as she fell.

• Xia Liang used Gengar's spatial skill to capture the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm and trap it in the Undead Domain's Alien Space.
• Qian Renxue successfully absorbed the Golden Fire Silver Wolf's soul ring, reached level 63, and gained a sixth soul ring suited to her Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul.

• Qian Renxue fell after their energy blades collided, and Xia Liang caught her before she hit the ground.

After returning to Heaven Dou City, Xia Liang fed the Blue Silver Emperor Cocoon his Extreme Dark Energy and advanced his plans to capture the Blue Silver King before entering Slaughter City. A month later, the cocoon had become a devouring Dark Attribute plant that had absorbed the surrounding treasures and could reproduce their medicinal qualities through its vines.

• Qian Renxue accepted Xia Liang as her Big Brother after losing their soul battle, and Qian Daoliu told Xia Liang to visit the Worship Hall after leaving Slaughter City.
• Xia Liang returned to Heaven Dou City, found Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan absent, and went to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well; Salas's Spirit Hall squad arrived at Dugu Manor but retreated when Xia Liang was gone.
• Xia Liang fed the Blue Silver Emperor Cocoon blood infused with Extreme Dark Energy, raised his Soul Power to level sixty-seven with Ten-Thousand Year Icy Marrow, and summoned Tang Hao to capture the Blue Silver King in the Ancient Forest.
• Tang Hao led Shiny Gengar and the other nine Gengar toward the Ancient Forest, while the Blue Silver Emperor Cocoon accepted Xia Liang as its master.
• One month later, Xia Liang discovered that the cocoon had gained a Dark Attribute and the ability to devour, absorbing the nearby Immortal Herbs and treasures and growing to three thousand years of cultivation.
• Xia Liang found that the cocoon had over three hundred vines, each carrying the aura of a different Immortal Herb or treasure, including the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and Infernal Delicate Apricot.

Xia Liang captured the injured Blue Silver King and reunited with Dugu Yan, who learned he planned to leave the academy for a year. Later, he and Qian Renxue tried to restore their Martial Soul Fusion Skill, and their close embrace triggered a powerful resonance that drew her consciousness into his Spiritual World.

• Xia Liang transported the severely injured Blue Silver King into Alien Space, imprisoned it, and damaged its soul to keep it subdued.
• Dugu Yan met Xia Liang at Heaven Dou Royal Academy, learned he had become a Soul Emperor, and reluctantly accepted that he would leave for a year after the Elite Tournament.

• Xia Liang embraced Qian Renxue, allowing their dark, light, and evil Martial Soul auras to fuse and draw her consciousness into his Spiritual World.

Xia Liang completed the Trinity Martial Soul Fusion Skill with Qian Renxue, then set out for Slaughter City to raise his Soul Power by devouring undead. He reached the entrance with Tang Hao, destroyed the tavern rather than drink Bloody Mary, and discovered that his Space Attribute could open a rift into Slaughter City.

• Xia Liang witnessed the Necromancer Skeleton, Six-Winged Angel, and Fallen Angel fuse into the Armored Twelve-Winged Chaos Angel, completing the Trinity Martial Soul Fusion Skill with Qian Renxue.
• Qian Renxue woke in Xia Liang's arms after their fusion, rushed out to attend Morning Court as Xue Qinghe, and later agreed to his plan to enter Slaughter City.
• Xia Liang decided to go to Slaughter City because his Soul Power had stalled at level 68 and he needed to devour undead to reach the Level 70 Bottleneck.
• Ten days later, Tang Hao led Xia Liang to a tavern said to be Slaughter City's entrance, where the waiter demanded that they drink Bloody Mary to qualify for entry.
• Xia Liang refused the human blood and used his Bone Transformation Susanoo to smash the tavern and kill the waiter and other customers.
• Xia Liang used his Spiral Spear and Space Attribute to break open a spatial rift beneath the bar counter, revealing Slaughter City's gate and confirming he could potentially escape through an unstable space.

Xia Liang entered Slaughter City, where Tang Hao’s status as a God of Slaughter secured him protection from the city’s enforcers. He registered for his first Hell Slaughter Arena match and faced a brutal death match as the spectators demanded blood.

• Xia Liang emerged from the spatial rift and killed the Enforcement Team of Black Armor Soldiers that tried to stop him, then took the Identity Token marked 900.
• The Black Veil Woman welcomed Xia Liang into Slaughter City as Mr. Nine Zero Zero and explained the city’s rules, including the hundred-victory requirement to challenge the Road to Hell.
• Xia Liang rejected the Black Veil Woman’s invitations to indulge himself and insisted she take him to the Hell Slaughter Arena.
• Xia Liang registered for a ten-person death match and entered the arena with nine other fighters.
• The other fighters attacked one another as the spectators called for blood, and Xia Liang watched one Fallen One be decapitated and disemboweled.

Xia Liang slaughtered his way to a hundred victories in Slaughter City, growing stronger and earning the title Death God. When the King of Slaughter offered him power and status to stay, Xia Liang instead demanded that the Road to Hell be opened.

• Xia Liang killed nine Fallen Ones in the arena and used their undead to strengthen his cultivation.
• Over several months, Xia Liang won matches at an unprecedented pace, sealed thousands of undead in the Undead Domain, and reached the Level 70 Bottleneck.
• The Fallen Ones called Xia Liang the Death God, and he forced opponents out of hiding to complete the victories he needed to open the Road to Hell.
• Xia Liang won his hundredth match, and his accumulated killing intent formed a crimson vortex as a strange mark appeared in his eyes.
• The King of Slaughter arrived, named Xia Liang the Death God and offered him the title God of Slaughter and a place in Slaughter City.
• Xia Liang rejected the offer and asked the King of Slaughter to open the Road to Hell, prompting the King to reveal his killing intent.
