Chapter Summaries

Ji Lin discovered that the Sun Moon Empire's high-altitude Soul Tool was monitoring the Star Luo Empire and captured it for Xu Jiuju to study. After scouting the enemy camp, he concluded that the Sun Moon Empire had used its apparent campaign against Star Luo as a smoke bomb and was actually targeting the Heaven Dou Empire.

• Ji Lin told Xu Jiuju that a Sun Moon Empire Ultra-High-Altitude Detection Soul Tool was watching the city, and Chi Yuan retrieved it for them.
• Ji Lin gave the Level 8 detection Soul Tool to Xu Jiuju, then flew west with Chi Yuan to investigate the Sun Moon Empire's military camp.
• After scouting from ten kilometers away, Ji Lin returned and told Xu Jiuju that the Sun Moon Empire had built a defensive fortress in the Ming Dou Mountain Range rather than stationing an army there.

After the Sun Moon Empire’s devastating Super Soul Tool repelled the Star Luo Empire’s attempt to break its blockade, Dai Hao and Xu Jiujiu struggled to find a way to aid the Heaven Dou Empire while blind to enemy movements. Ji Lin reassured Xu Jiujiu that his preparations could still turn the situation around.

• Ji Lin killed a Rank 6 Soul Engineer with one sword strike and evaded the group’s return fire.
• Ji Lin detonated concealed flame marks to kill a Rank 7 Soul Engineer, then beheaded a third enemy as the remaining two fled.
• Ji Lin recognized the approaching ten members of the Evil Lord Soul Engineer Corps as the Vanguard Squad sent by Wang Yiheng.

• Ji Lin pierced the Blazing Sky Net Fire Bull's skull with the Heavenly Fire Holy Judgment, and another Titled Douluo drove a sword through its skull as Wang Yiheng could not break free.

Ji Lin and the Star Luo Empire’s Titled Douluo killed Wang Yiheng and infiltrated the Sun Moon Empire’s main peak to destroy the Death God Soul Tool. As they fought through the mountain’s defenses, Great Hammer Douluo demolished its installations while Shattered Star Douluo’s expanding vortex shielded their advance.

• Wang Yiheng unleashed a final counterattack but succumbed to his wounds, and Ji Lin stored his corpse in a Soul Tool.

The group realized an unseen, immensely powerful Soul Master was guarding the weapon.

• Shattered Star Douluo led Ji Lin and the others through the mountain while his spatial vortex delayed the Sun Moon Empire’s pursuers.
• Ji Lin warned Shattered Star Douluo that at least one Rank 9 Soul Master controlled the Death God Soul Tool, and Great Hammer Douluo broke through the mountain wall toward it.
• A dark red beam struck at Great Hammer Douluo, but Ji Lin pulled him clear while Shattered Star Douluo and others destroyed the resentful spirits and fought their way onto the summit.
• Ji Lin and the Titled Douluos reached the summit and found the Death God Soul Tool surrounded by bloody light, with no visible defenders.
• Great Hammer Douluo’s hammer blow rebounded from the bloody field, and the unseen attacker’s power suppressed Shattered Star Douluo’s Shattered Star Light.

Ji Lin recognized the woman who emerged from the blood-red light as Ye Xishui, the Holy Spirit Cult’s level 99 Limit Douluo, whose strength dwarfed the gathered Titled Douluo. As Ye Xishui confronted them, Ji Lin reflected on the paths to godhood and the obstacles facing those without divine positions.

• Ye Xishui emerged from the blood-red light and threatened to take the gathered Titled Douluo as guardian souls for her Death God Tower.
• Ji Lin used his Mental Power to protect his companions from Ye Xishui’s spiritual Charm.
• Ye Xishui revealed six Ten Thousand Year Soul Rings and three Hundred Thousand Year Soul Rings, overwhelming Shattered Star Douluo with her aura.
• Ji Lin identified Ye Xishui as the Holy Spirit Cult’s Supreme Pontiff and a level 99 Limit Douluo, then considered how divine positions and the Divine Realm shaped the path to godhood.

Ji Lin weighed the risks of unifying Douluo Continent and resolved to grow strong enough to face God King Tang, while Shattered Star Douluo confronted Ye Xishui. The chapter ended with Shattered Star Douluo questioning why Ye Xishui was helping the Sun Moon Empire invade her homeland.

• Ji Lin reasoned that the Holy Spirit Cult and Xu Tianran were pursuing a doomed attempt to gain godhood through faith, since God King Tang would defend his power and influence.

• Ji Lin committed himself to becoming the strongest in the Divine Realm and beyond so he could face any threat and feel secure.
• Shattered Star Douluo and the others realized that Ye Xishui was another Limit Douluo, giving the Sun Moon Empire two Limit Douluo alongside Long Xiaoyao.
• Ye Xishui refused to identify herself, and Shattered Star Douluo asked why she was aiding the Sun Moon Empire despite apparently coming from the original Three Douluo Kingdoms.

Ye Xishui gathered the Star Luo Empire’s Titled Douluo and easily deflected their attack, nearly capturing Ji Lin. Chi Yuan arrived through Ji Lin’s spiritual mark and confronted Ye Xishui, leaving the two Limit Douluo facing off atop the Ming Dou Mountain Range.

• Ye Xishui summoned the Star Luo Empire’s Titled Douluo to the summit and dismissed their hope of destroying the Death God Tower.

• Shattered Star Douluo led Ji Lin and the other Titled Douluo away from the clash between Chi Yuan and Ye Xishui.

• Ye Xishui fired the Death God Tower’s Death’s Light at Chi Yuan’s flames and escaped as the mountaintop was destroyed; the tower’s collected Vengeful Souls had made it a Level 10 Soul Tool.
• The Star Luo Empire’s Titled Douluo destroyed the Sun Moon Empire’s Soul Tool positions and signaled for the army while Ye Xishui’s forces withdrew.
• Ji Lin explained to Chi Yuan that their objective had been achieved and that killing Ye Xishui would have required a full fight to the death; Chi Yuan said she would soon condense divine sense.
• The Star Luo Empire’s Titled Douluo withdrew without losses, and the Sun Moon Empire’s retreat left the Ming Dou Mountain Range reclaimed.

After Ji Lin and Chi Yuan helped the Star Luo Empire retake the Ming Dou Mountain Range, Duke White Tiger launched raids into the Sun Moon Empire while Ji Lin refused to let Chi Yuan risk her breakthrough. The raids brought the Sun Moon Empire’s eastern border under pressure, but Ye Xishui remained a threat as Ji Lin continued growing stronger.

• Ji Lin and the Titled Douluo returned to camp after retaking the Ming Dou Mountain Range and killing Mad Bull Douluo Wang Yiheng, and Xu Jiujiu embraced Ji Lin when he arrived safely.

• Ji Lin urged Wang Qiuer and the others to cultivate at Freedom Gate, while his own cultivation reached rank seventy-six.

As the Sun Moon Empire conquered most of the Heaven Dou Empire, Xuan Zi weighed Shrek Academy’s options and prepared its defenses. Shrek began forming three Soul Engineer legions, including an elite first legion equipped with captured Soul Tools and led by Xian Lin'er.

• Xuan Zi told the Sea God Pavilion that the Sun Moon Empire had taken more than two-thirds of the Heaven Dou Empire and that Shrek had to decide how much aid to provide.
• Xuan Zi assessed the threat posed by Ye Xishui and Long Xiaoyao, while concluding that Shrek could not rely on Beast God Di Tian or the secluded Chi Yuan Douluo for help.
• Zhang Lexuan asked whether Shrek could recruit reclusive sects and seek Di Tian’s support, and Xuan Zi said the academy was already contacting sects but could not count on Di Tian.
• Shrek’s Soul Tool Department began manufacturing weapons at full capacity under Qian Duoduo, while Bei Bei’s Tang Sect joined the effort.
• Shrek decided to establish three Soul Engineer legions, and its first legion formed with two hundred elite members, Xian Lin'er as commander, Qian Duoduo as deputy, and eight Titled Douluo.

Shrek Academy established three soul engineer corps while Gu Yuena weighed whether the soul beasts should intervene in the human civil war. As the war stabilized, Duke White Tiger took command of Star Luo’s forces, and Ji Lin learned that the Sun Moon Empire had captured Dragon City and destroyed most of the Heaven Dragon Sect.

• Xuan Zi established the Shrek Soul Engineer Corps with elite equipment, while Shrek also formed Heavy Cannon and Artillery Soul Engineer Corps.
• Gu Yuena told Di Tian that the soul beasts would wait for both human sides to suffer severe losses before acting, and said they would destroy the Sun Moon Empire if it defeated the three great empires.

• Nan Shui Shui told Ji Lin that Heaven Dragon Douluo had died defending Dragon City, while Yu Tianlong had escaped to preserve the Heaven Dragon Sect’s legacy.
• Ji Lin learned that the Sun Moon Empire had occupied two-thirds of the Heaven Dou Empire and was expanding northward.

Ji Lin explained how the Sun Moon Empire used advanced Soul Tools to win over civilians and nobles in the Heaven Dou territory it occupied, making its rule difficult to challenge without a swift military victory. Xu Jiujiu and the others recognized the danger, while Ji Lin reflected on how rapidly Soul Tool technology could change the balance of power.

• The Sun Moon Empire continued its advance south from the north while its forces avoided a decisive battle and worked to consolidate their hold on occupied Heaven Dou territory.
• Spies reported that the empire had spared Dragon City's civilians, expelled its Soul Master sects, and distributed civilian Soul Tools, including heating devices, to residents and nobles.
• Ji Lin called the policy an open scheme and explained how improved living conditions and selective concessions could shift civilians' and nobles' loyalty toward the Sun Moon Empire.
• Xu Jiujiu, Wang Dong'er, and the others were stunned by the strategy, and Xu Jiujiu admitted that it was difficult to counter.
• Ji Lin warned that Soul Tool advances, including Level 10 weapons, could eventually threaten even Limit Douluo and perhaps Quasi-Gods.

Ji Lin assessed how the Sun Moon Empire was strengthening itself through conquest as Ju Zi reviewed the war against Heaven Dou and the Star Luo Empire. Ju Zi had stabilized the front but remained constrained by Star Luo's sabotage, Shrek Academy's strength, and her dependence on Spirit Hall.

• Ji Lin argued that the Sun Moon Empire's conquest would sweep away nobles who resisted soul tools and make future rule easier.
• The Sun Moon Empire incorporated defeated Heaven Dou Soul Engineer Corps members into its own forces, expanding its strength during the invasion.
• Ju Zi reviewed battle reports in the Fire Phoenix Soul Engineer Corps camp and remained dissatisfied with Ye Xishui's explanation for losing the Ming Dou Mountain Range.

• The White Tiger Duke reclaimed the Ming Dou Mountain Range and fortified it, while Ju Zi and Xu Tianran chose to stabilize the front and consolidate control over occupied Heaven Dou territory.
