• Hu Yan Ba asked about the power of will, and Tian Hao advised that pain could temper it before admitting he did not know whether it was like Sword Intent.

Tian Hao and the Elephant Armor Sect ignited Bloodline Power in more elders, but he admitted he still could not safely do it for Soul Saints. The group planned to bring in members of the Saint Dragon Sect for him to practice on, and Tian Hao prepared to visit Phantom Sound Academy to study its Sword Intent.

• The remaining Elephant Armor elders, three Soul Douluos, and Tuoba Si Nan successfully ignited their Bloodline Power despite the agony.
• Tian Hao said his current method had an over-eighty-percent failure rate for Soul Saints, so he needed more Soul Douluos and Titled Douluos to practice on.

After returning to the Saint Dragon Sect, Tuoba Si Nan challenged its Five Great Elders and overwhelmed them with the powers Tian Hao had bestowed upon him. He declared that he would relocate his branch near the Elephant Armor Sect in three days, leaving the elders and clansmen intrigued by his new strength.

• Tuoba Si Nan returned to the Saint Dragon Sect and used his Soul Pressure to summon its Five Great Elders.

• Tuoba Si Nan announced that he would relocate his branch near the Elephant Armor Sect in three days, while the elders and clansmen considered his new powers.

The Saint Dragon Sect’s Five Great Elders plotted to exploit the Adamantine Sect’s emergence and seize the assets of rival sects, unaware that Ghost Douluo had overheard them. After seeing the recording, Tuoba Si Nan realized Spirit Hall had set a trap and decided he could not let the elders drag his sect into disaster.

• The Five Great Elders agreed that the Adamantine Sect might have survived and resolved to seize its foundation, the Elephant Armor Sect’s holdings, and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan’s territory.
• The Saint Dragon First Elder ordered the Second Elder to leak news of the Adamantine Sect and its Peak Douluo to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, while the other elders prepared to sell their sect’s property and relocate.
• After the elders left, Ghost Douluo emerged from hiding and brought Tuoba Si Nan a recording of their scheme.
• Tuoba Si Nan watched the recording and accepted that he needed to make a harsh decision to protect his sect clansmen from the elders’ plans.

The Saint Dragon Sect completed its migration to the Elephant Armor Sect, where Tuoba Si Nan and Hu Yan Ba welcomed its elders. The elders went to observe Tian Hao’s lightning body-tempering method as Tian Hao, Tuo Ba Xi, and Hu Yan Zhen began practicing it together.

• The Five Great Elders sold the Saint Dragon Sect’s holdings and led nearly a thousand people on a month-long migration to the Elephant Armor Sect.

• Tuo Ba Xi joined Tian Hao and Hu Yan Zhen, combining their Soul Power to form a golden bell that received and stored lightning.

The chapter ended with the elders preparing their younger generation to face Yu Yuanzhen and expressing hope in Spirit Hall’s plans.

• Tian Hao fused White Armored Earth Dragon and Bear Lord’s powers into Adamantine Soul Power and recorded data as he, Tuo Ba Xi, and Hu Yan Zhen practiced lightning tempering.

Yu Yuanzhen ordered the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan to prepare for a strike against Elephant Armor Sect and Saint Dragon Sect after learning that remnants of the Adamantine Sect might have a Peak Douluo. Yu Luomian warned him that the intelligence was suspicious, but Yu Yuanzhen decided the rival alliance still had to be confronted, and he left his brother behind to guard the sect.

• Yu Yuanzhen told the elders that the Adamantine Sect's remnants might have survived for over a thousand years and produced a Level 99 Peak Douluo.
• The First Elder called for destroying the threat, while the Third Elder questioned whether the report of a Peak Douluo was true.
• Yu Yuanzhen ordered the clan to gather Soul Saints and Soul Douluos and prepare to test Elephant Armor Sect and Saint Dragon Sect in one month.
• After the elders left, Yu Luomian told Yu Yuanzhen that the intelligence seemed designed to provoke a clash, but Yu Yuanzhen said the rival alliance threatened the clan regardless.
• Yu Yuanzhen ordered Yu Luomian to stay behind and guard the sect, recalling how a lightning strike had contaminated his brother's soul power and crippled his cultivation.

The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan launched a surprise attack on the Elephant Armor Sect and Saint Dragon Sect, but Tian Hao and his allies countered with a powerful Martial Soul Fusion Skill. Yu Yuanzhen ordered a retreat after losing an elder and discovering that the Adamantine Dragon Elephant Martial Soul had reappeared.

• Yu Yuanzhen and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan elders secretly gathered near the Elephant Armor Sect and attacked during a thunderstorm.
• Tian Hao detected the unusual lightning and helped the Saint Dragon Sect form an Adamantine Giant Bell to withstand the clan’s bombardment.
• Tian Hao guided Tuoba Si Nan and Hu Yan Yue in creating a colossal Adamantine Dragon Elephant that broke through the bell and seized Yu Yuanzhen’s dragon tail.
• The Adamantine Dragon Elephant battered Yu Yuanzhen and knocked the First Elder of the Blue Lightning Clan into the other defenders’ attacks, killing him.
• Yu Yuanzhen recognized the Adamantine Dragon Elephant Martial Soul and ordered the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan to retreat.

After the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon clan’s failed attack, Yu Yuanzhen retreated with his surviving elders and resolved to seek the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect’s help.

• Tian Hao explained his clan’s Sacrifice Method and asked Tuoba Si Nan and the other Saint Dragon Sect elders if one of them would try fusing the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul.

Tian Hao fused the Blue Lightning Clan First Elder’s Martial Soul origin into Tuoba Si Nan’s, evolving Tuoba’s Martial Soul and awakening his dragon might and Lightning Domain. The fusion expelled Tuoba’s nine soul rings, and Tian Hao warned that the new fusion still needed to acclimate before it became completely stable.

• Tian Hao brought the dying Blue Lightning Clan First Elder to the Elephant Armor Sect’s discussion hall and began the Martial Soul sacrifice fusion with Tuoba Si Nan.
• Tian Hao guided Tuoba Si Nan in absorbing the First Elder’s Martial Soul origin, and their compatible dragon-type Martial Souls fused successfully at first.
• The fusion expelled Tuoba Si Nan’s nine soul rings, but his Martial Soul evolved into a golden dragon and he awakened dragon might and the Lightning Domain.
• Tian Hao reassured Tuoba Si Nan and offered him three of the First Elder’s soul bones, which Tuoba promptly took.
• Tian Hao warned Tuoba Si Nan that the different Martial Souls still needed to acclimate fully before their fusion could stabilize.

Tuoba Si Nan gave Tuoba Xi a ninety-thousand-year Head Soul Bone to refine, while Tian Hao merged two Soul Rings into compatible Soul Bones for Tuoba Si Nan. Hu Yan Yue brought the Sacrifice Method to the Elephant Armor Sect, where Hu Yan Ba and the elders saw a way to push four Level 89 Soul Douluos toward becoming Titled Douluos.

• Tuoba Si Nan gave Tuoba Xi the First Elder of the Blue Lightning Clan's Head Soul Bone and guarded him as he began refining it.
• Tian Hao examined Tuoba Si Nan and fused the origins of two Soul Rings into matching Arm and Torso Soul Bones, preserving their soul skills.
• Hu Yan Yue asked Tian Hao for the Sacrifice Method so he could leave his grandson a gift, and Tian Hao handed him a crystal containing it.
• Hu Yan Yue gave the crystal to Hu Yan Ba, who passed the Sacrifice Method among the elders of the Elephant Armor Sect.
• Hu Yan Ba and the First Elder discussed using the method's lifespan-consuming technique to help the clan's four Level 89 Soul Douluos break through to Titled Douluo.

Tian Hao’s secret method drove Elephant Armor Sect and Saint Dragon Sect to gamble their lifespans for rapid breakthroughs as they prepared for conflict with the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. Meanwhile, he advanced his bloodline experiments and cultivation, then prepared to end the missions of two completed items.

• Tian Hao explained that his refined secret method could push Soul Douluos toward rank 95 or higher by trading away their lifespans, and hoped the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan would pressure the two sects into using it.
• Hu Yan Ba passed the method to Elephant Armor Sect’s Soul Douluos, while Saint Dragon Sect requested it from Tian Hao and began cultivating it under pressure from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
• Tian Hao perfected his bloodline-ignition method through Soul Emperors but failed to ignite the Bloodline Power of any Soul Ancestors.
• Tian Hao condensed his Lower Dantian’s Fake Sea of Wheels Secret Realm into a shallow sea of blood, but postponed further body cultivation because he lacked a Body Martial Soul and a suitable soul bone.
• Tian Hao decided that the Ten Headed Fierce Yang Serpent’s remaining Inner Core and the Phoenix Wheel had completed their missions and were ready to be brought to an end.

Tian Hao transformed the Phoenix Flame into a Little Phoenix and condensed a wheel-shaped Qi-Blood Soul Core to stabilize his Sea of Wheels Secret Realm. He then arrived at Phantom Sound Academy, where Sword Intent could be comprehended from statues of renowned sword cultivators.

• Tian Hao refined the Phoenix Flame with the Ten Headed Fierce Yang Serpent's Inner Core remnant and the Phoenix Wheel, forming it into a Little Phoenix.
• Tian Hao fused the Little Phoenix with a Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower in his Sea of Spirit and planned to cultivate it into a means of preserving his life.
• Tian Hao compressed his blood essence and Soul Power into a wheel-shaped Qi-Blood Soul Core and installed it as the core of his Sea of Wheels Secret Realm.
• The Qi-Blood Soul Core began gathering and purifying Tian Hao's Bloodline Power, nourishing his body without requiring him to guide it himself.
• Hu Yan Yue brought Tian Hao to Phantom Sound Academy and explained that visitors could spend one day at each rank title comprehending Sword Intent from statues of Sword Douluo, Phantom Sound Douluo, and the Holy Spirit Sword Saint.

Tian Hao met Bibi Dong’s Divine Will while comprehending sword intent, advised her to develop Death Power as a fundamental attribute, and received a drop of her god blood. Back at the Elephant Armor Sect, he diluted it and used his Head Soul Bone Skill to replicate a weakened form of Bibi Dong’s Ultimate Death Soul Power.

• Tian Hao and Tuoba Si Nan visited the plaza at Phantom Sound Academy to comprehend the sword intent, while Hu Yan Yue waited outside.
• Bibi Dong’s Divine Will asked Tian Hao about making Death Power the primary attribute of her God Position, and he argued that death could encompass the ending of all things.
• Tian Hao asked Bibi Dong for god blood, and she sent him a drop before her Divine Will departed.
• Spies from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan observed Tian Hao return from Phantom Sound Academy to the Elephant Armor Sect.
• Tian Hao diluted Bibi Dong’s god blood into poisonous blood and used his Head Soul Bone Skill to replicate weakened Ultimate Death Soul Power.

Tian Hao used Ultimate Death Soul Power to temper his Bloodline Power and stimulate the Phoenix Flame, while the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect weighed the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan’s invitation to attack the Elephant Armor Sect and Saint Dragon Sect. Ning Fengzhi linked the two sects’ relocation and survival to a mysterious young man who had joined the Elephant Armor Sect.

• Tian Hao fused weakened Ultimate Death Soul Power with Bloodline Power in the Sea of Wheels Secret Realm, where it tempered the Bloodline Power and reached a stalemate with the Little Phoenix’s Blood Qi Flames.
• Tian Hao considered studying the transformation between life and death through Phoenix Flame and planned to strengthen Ma Hongjun so he could awaken a Phoenix Domain.
• Ning Fengzhi explained that the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan had invited the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect to join its attack after an apparent failed assassination against the Elephant Armor Sect.
• The Old Clan Master and elders accepted the invitation in principle because the promised industries and Soul Bones came with little risk to their sect.
• Ning Fengzhi revealed that Hu Yan Zhen had brought a mysterious, sheltered young man back from Sunset Forest shortly before the Saint Dragon Sect began relocating, and the Old Clan Master asked him to explain his theory.

Ning Fengzhi and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect decided to support the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan against the Adamantine Sect, but only if Yu Zhenlong reached Peak Douluo. Ning Fengzhi then revealed that the Wind Sword Sect had joined Sword Douluo’s new Sword Sect, strengthening a rival that could replace the Clear Sky Sect among the Upper Three Sects.

• Ning Fengzhi identified the young man from Sunset Forest as possibly connected to the Adamantine Sect, and the elders debated whether the sect had newly emerged or secretly survived for generations.
• Ning Fengzhi argued that supporting the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan was safer and would prevent the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect from facing greater pressure if the Adamantine Sect replaced the clan.
• The Old Seven Treasure Sect Master agreed to help the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan only after Yu Zhenlong achieved Peak Douluo, and Ning Fengzhi said Uncle Bone would deliver the message.
• Ning Fengzhi reported that the Wind Sword Sect had moved to the Holy Spirit Empire, joined Sword Douluo’s Sword Sect, and relocated the War Soul Hall’s ancestral Sword Cemetery.
• The Seven Treasure Old Sect Master cursed Tang Zhen, recognizing that the Sword Sect’s rise left the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect more isolated and threatened its position among the Upper Three Sects.

Chen Xin prepared to establish the Sword Sect as a powerful force under Spirit Hall, while Jian Wuhen relayed an invitation from Prince Xue Zhou to Snow Peak City. Chen Xin accepted the need for a public stage and urged the sect to focus on cultivation as Spirit Hall prepared for its final battle.

• Chen Xin reflected before his father's memorial tablet on how his junior brother had begun the Age of Swords.
• Jian Wuhen told Chen Xin that Prince Xue Zhou had invited him to the Soul Master Competition at Snow Peak City, a rebuilt city centered on the Xue Zhan Grand Spirit Arena.
• Chen Xin agreed to attend, seeing the competition as a chance to announce the Sword Sect and replace the Clear Sky Sect among the Upper Three Sects.
• Chen Xin warned Jian Wuhen that the Sword Sect was a facade for Spirit Hall and that clans and sects would eventually be abolished; Jian Wuhen agreed to follow Spirit Hall.
• Chen Xin ordered the Sword Sect to avoid disputes and focus on cultivation, and he and Jian Wuhen discussed bringing families of the Snowfang Legion into the empire to help replenish its population.

Tian Hao traveled with Dragon Elephant Academy's team to Snow Peak City for the Soul Master Competition, reflecting on the limits of human Bloodline Power cultivation. As Hu Yan Kai praised the Holy Spirit Sword Saint of the previous tournament as a legend, Tian Hao realized that the stories were about him.

• Tian Hao concluded that Bloodline Power quality limited body tempering and that his own Bloodline Power had reached the level needed to condense a Soul Bone.
• Hu Yan Zhen escorted Tian Hao onto an Elephant Carriage bound for Snow Peak City, where Dragon Elephant Academy would compete.
• Hu Yan Meng excitedly discussed the prize of a ducal title and territory, while Hu Yan Kai explained that their team would let academy students compete in the early rounds to showcase its strength.
• Tian Hao warned the team not to underestimate their opponents and threatened Hu Yan Meng with another training fight after hearing him boast.
• Ma Tao asked Hu Yan Kai about the Holy Spirit Sword Saint, and Hu Yan Kai called him a legend whose era had belonged to him.
• Tian Hao realized Hu Yan Kai was describing him and privately joked about singing a song about being a legend.
