• Lin Yun used thirty percent of his strength to shatter Zheng Zhan's Soul Tool shield and leave him unconscious, then sent the seven Dou Ling Team members out of the arena without seriously injuring them.
• The other teams and audience reacted to Lin Yun's overwhelming victory, and his appearance made the tournament's remaining matches feel dull and unsettled several competitors.
• Xu Tianran watched footage of Lin Yun's match in the Sun Moon Empire Palace and feared he might not survive facing Lin Yun, while Ju Zi watched silently.

Xu Tianran feared that Lin Yun and the Soul Hall could obstruct the Sun Moon Empire’s plans, so he launched his war for continental unification before the tournament ended. He killed the old emperor, locked down Radiant City, and sought to keep the Soul Hall neutral as the conflict began.

• Xu Tianran concluded that Lin Yun and the Soul Hall threatened the Sun Moon Empire’s ambitions and ordered the war plan activated immediately.
• Xu Tianran’s father, the old emperor, died silently on the night the plan began.
• Xu Tianran used the possibility of assassination to detain the tournament teams and seal Radiant City before the Round of Sixteen had finished.
• The Earth Dragon Gate group escaped detention because Nan Shuishui took a remote route with the Earth Dragon Golden Gourd, while the Body Sect tried to tunnel out of the city.
• Lin Yun read Xu Tianran’s letter, which declared the empire’s intent to unify the continent and urged the Soul Hall not to interfere.

Lin Yun left Radiant City after reassuring Xu Tianran that the Soul Hall would stay out of the coming war, while the Sun Moon Empire and its rivals prepared for conflict. Back in the Star Dou Great Forest, Lin Yun reached Rank 80 and asked Di Tian and the Snow Empress to help him hunt for his eighth Soul Ring.

• Lin Yun split from the Snow Empress, sent the girls back to the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Clan, and left Xu Tianran a note promising the Soul Hall would not interfere unless provoked.

• Lin Yun declared that he intended to hunt a specific target for his eighth Soul Ring, with Di Tian and the Snow Empress assisting him.

Lin Yun prepared to hunt a traitorous mermaid in the Extreme North for his eighth Soul Ring while considering how to forge a divine artifact from Extreme Ice Divine Crystal. The Ice Empress returned before the expedition, and Lin Yun invited her to join him and Di Tian.

• Lin Yun told Di Tian that he would wait for the Snow Empress before traveling to the Extreme North to hunt his eighth Soul Ring.
• Lin Yun discussed the Extreme Ice Divine Crystal with the Ice Dragon King, Fire Dragon King, and Electrolux, who said it could form a divine artifact if reinforced with precious materials.
• Lin Yun decided to gather more ice-attribute materials to strengthen the divine artifact’s potential for future growth.
• The Ice Empress returned after entrusting the Ice Jade Scorpion clan’s bloodline inheritance to Qing’er, whose cultivation had reached one hundred sixty thousand years.
• Lin Yun invited the Ice Empress to join him and Di Tian on the trip to obtain his eighth Soul Ring.

Lin Yun took Ice Empress, Snow Empress, and Di Tian toward the Ice Sea to hunt a six-hundred-thousand-year soul beast. Meanwhile, Tang San’s plan to impress Huo Yuhao failed when Shrek returned home without entering Dog Training Valley, and he discovered how badly Shrek Academy had declined.

• Lin Yun warned Ice Empress about the powerful soul beast, then set out with Ice Empress, Snow Empress, and Di Tian for the Ice Sea.
• Shrek withdrew from the tournament before the Ranking Tournament, so Xian Lin'er led the group back to the academy without passing through Dog Training Valley.
• Ning Rongrong waited in Defense Valley for Shrek to arrive, then returned to Tang San after realizing she had waited in vain.
• Tang San checked Shrek Academy and became enraged at its dwindling population, Mu En's death, and the two people operating sewing machines beneath the Golden Tree.
• Tang San decided Shrek could still serve his needs, and he turned his attention to the diligent Elder Song.

Tang San used the Golden Tree’s power to strengthen Song Yunzhi, Shrek’s new Sea God Pavilion Master, so she could help the academy endure the coming turmoil. Song Yunzhi broke through Rank 98 and regained her youth, while Tang San reserved most of the Golden Tree’s energy for his own plans.

• Tang San objected to Song Yunzhi succeeding Mu En but chose to support her because Shrek lacked a stronger candidate to lead it.
• Tang San sent a small amount of the Golden Tree’s power into Song Yunzhi and hoped Shrek would survive until the Child of Fortune grew up.
• Song Yunzhi absorbed the golden radiance while working on how to manage the fallout from Shrek’s early tournament withdrawal.
• The Golden Tree’s power broke Song Yunzhi’s Rank 98 bottleneck, restored much of her youthful appearance, and gave her a chance to reach Limit Douluo.
• Song Yunzhi wondered if the Sea God had blessed her, unaware Tang San had deliberately provided the power while saving most of it for Ah Yin’s plans.

Song Yunzhi mistook the Golden Tree’s energy for Tang San’s blessing and withdrew into seclusion, leaving Lin Huiqun to manage Shrek. Meanwhile, Lin Yun spent three fruitless days ice fishing before heading with Snow Empress and Di Tian to the Sea Princess’s territory to fish for mermaids.

• The Golden Tree infused Song Yunzhi with energy that restored her vitality and helped her break through, but Tang San severed his connection without answering her.
• Song Yunzhi convinced herself Tang San had recognized her and entered seclusion, handing the Sea God Pavilion’s affairs to Lin Huiqun.
• Lin Yun fished at the Ice Sea for three days without getting a bite while the Ice Empress caught and ate fish nearby.
• After failing to catch ordinary fish, Lin Yun decided to fish for mermaids and had Snow Empress guide Di Tian to the Sea Princess’s territory.
• Snow Empress identified the Sea Princess’s gathering place, and Lin Yun prepared to begin fishing there.

Lin Yun used Sky Dream Ice Silkworm’s Exuviae infused with Life Origin Liquid to lure powerful soul beasts out of the sea. The Sea Princess, a six-hundred-thousand-year ferocious beast, appeared before him after the bait sent the sea creatures into a frenzy.

• Lin Yun showed Ice Empress Sky Dream Ice Silkworm’s Exuviae and explained that he intended to use it as bait.
• Lin Yun infused the Exuviae with Life Origin Liquid, causing it to radiate energy that attracted the soul beasts.
• Sea soul beasts fought and killed one another in a frenzy, producing many Soul Rings.
• A piercing cry from the sea stopped the fighting, and the Sea Princess emerged from the water before Lin Yun and the others.

Lin Yun and his companions lured the Sea Princess out with Tian Meng’s Exuviae, then trapped her in an isolated space to prevent her from drawing power from the sea. The Sea Princess invoked the Sea God for protection as Lin Yun, Di Tian, Snow Empress, and Ice Empress prepared to kill her.

• The Sea Princess appeared after sensing Tian Meng’s Exuviae, hoping to claim the treasure despite detecting the group’s powerful auras.
• The Sea Princess questioned why Lin Yun’s group had entered her territory and demanded a share of the pearl, while Lin Yun accused her of hypocrisy and greed.
• The Sea Princess lost her temper and threatened the group for insulting the Sea God.
• Lin Yun, Di Tian, and Snow Empress used their Soul Cores to isolate the space around the Sea Princess, cutting her off from the sea’s power.
• The Sea Princess panicked and appealed to the Sea God for help as Di Tian, Snow Empress, Ice Empress, and Lin Yun readied their attacks.

Lin Yun and the beast kings confronted Sea Princess over her worship of the Sea God and her clan’s betrayal of the Beast Race. Lin Yun activated the Life-and-Death Arena, where he kept his full strength while Sea Princess was reduced to a child with only a hundred years of cultivation.

• Sea Princess recognized Di Tian, Snow Empress, and Ice Empress, then demanded to know Lin Yun’s identity.
• Di Tian identified Lin Yun as the incarnation of the Dragon God and the Beast Race’s supreme deity, while Lin Yun threatened to wipe out Sea Princess and her clan.
• Sea Princess begged for mercy and promised that her clan would stop worshipping the Sea God, but Lin Yun rejected her plea.
• Di Tian and Snow Empress restrained Sea Princess and sealed her Soul Core as Lin Yun prepared his execution method.
• Lin Yun used Spiritual Power Lock-On to activate the Life-and-Death Arena and was drawn inside with Sea Princess.
• The arena preserved Lin Yun’s full strength but reduced Sea Princess to a child with a hundred years of cultivation.

Lin Yun used the Sea Princess’s weakened state in the Life-and-Death Arena to modify her soul, then claimed her Soul Ring and Soul Bone. Absorbing them brought him to Soul Power Level eighty-four, while Snow Empress noticed that his Spiritual Power had become tangible.

• Lin Yun pinned the Sea Princess after her cultivation was reduced to a hundred years, then tore her soul from her body to modify it using techniques he had learned from Electrolux.
• After three hours, Lin Yun emerged with the Sea Princess’s corpse, her six-hundred-thousand-year Soul Ring, and the External Soul Bone Praise of the Sea.
• Lin Yun absorbed the Sea Princess’s Soul Ring as his eighth and put on Praise of the Sea, which fused with Yaoling’s brow Soul Bone and changed one of its skills.
• Lin Yun absorbed the Soul Power and Spiritual Power from the ring and bone, breaking through to Soul Douluo and reaching Level eighty-four.
• Lin Yun’s Spiritual Power spread in visible waves, and Snow Empress touched the ripples and identified the effect as Spiritual Power materialization.

Lin Yun absorbed the Sea Princess’s Soul Ring and Soul Bone, awakening a Spiritual Domain and four powerful soul skills that greatly expanded his offensive and defensive abilities. He left eager to refine his new techniques and eventually challenge the Divine Realm.

• Lin Yun formed a Spiritual Domain and resolved to use the Golden Dragon King’s power as an aid rather than his destination.
• After absorbing the Sea Princess’s Soul Ring, Lin Yun gained Twin Dragons Dance, which duplicated his abilities, and Death Knell, which delivered spiritual attacks strengthened by the Power of Annihilation.
• The Praise of the Sea granted Lin Yun Sound of the Sea Demon, a passive bewitching voice, and Golden Dragon Dirge, which could use different kinds of power to attack opposing defenses.
• Lin Yun combined several powers to create a ten-meter defensive field, which withstood Snow Empress’s Ice Extreme Peerless and resisted Di Tian’s Dragon God Claw.
• Lin Yun named Golden Dragon Dirge’s defensive form Golden Dragon Light of Salvation, and Di Tian and the Two Ice and Snow Empresses praised him.

After absorbing the Sea Princess’s Soul Ring and soul bone, Lin Yun left the collapsing void space and tested his new soul skill on the Sea Princess race. He unleashed Golden Dragon Dirge across their territory, exterminating the merfolk and leaving their Soul Rings and many soul bones behind.

• Lin Yun, Di Tian, the Snow Empress, and the Ice Empress emerged from the increasingly unstable void space.
• Lin Yun joked about the merit he would gain from killing the traitorous Sea Princess race, while Di Tian declared that the race should be grateful to die for Lin Yun.
• Lin Yun ordered Di Tian and the others to fly away, then spread his Spiritual Power domain over the Sea Princess territory.
• Lin Yun activated Praise of the Sea and unleashed Golden Dragon Dirge, whose golden shockwaves shattered the ice-covered sea and vaporized the water.
• Golden Dragon Dirge killed thousands of merfolk, and the Sea Princess race was completely exterminated.

Lin Yun annihilated the Sea Princess Clan with Golden Dragon Dirge and collected their Soul Rings and soul bones. He began using Dragon's Devour to absorb the vast haul, but the energy transfer pushed his body toward its limits.

• Lin Yun unleashed Golden Dragon Dirge at full range, vaporizing the Sea Princess Clan's territory and killing every Sea Princess there.
• Lin Yun gathered the Soul Rings and soul bones, including five Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bones, while Di Tian, the Snow Empress, and the Ice Empress helped sort them.
• Lin Yun summoned the Golden Dragon King's true form and used Dragon's Devour to refine the thousands of Soul Rings into energy for his first six Soul Rings.
• Lin Yun felt his body nearing its limit under the energy pressure and painfully made a decision.
