Chapter Summaries

Na Nali learned that a shipment of powerful Fixed Soul Cannon Shells was headed to the Three Grand Fleets and planned a surprise raid with Leng Yulai. At the Governor’s Mansion, Gu Yuena failed to learn more about Nahida and was introduced to the household after Nahida explained why Nan Fusheng had fainted.

• Na Nali heard that the Three Grand Fleets had suffered a bombing without retaliating, then received word from a Major General that twenty cartloads of ammunition, including three Level 9 Fixed Soul Cannon Shells, would arrive the next day.
• Na Nali ordered Leng Yulai to lead a raid using the Space-Time Shuttle, while the other Evil Soul Masters provided cover and could serve as cannon fodder.
• Na Nali privately imagined returning to the Governor’s Mansion after reaching Limit Douluo and making Fors regret having looked down on her.
• Gu Yuena told Qingque and Bai Xiuxiu that she had learned nothing useful from the Jade Demon Bird, then asked Nan Fusheng why he had fainted.
• Nahida said Gu Yuena had overestimated herself while trying to seduce Nan Fusheng, and explained that she had mistaken the scene for an attack before the misunderstanding was cleared up.
• Nan Fusheng introduced Gu Yuena to Nahida, Qingque, and Bai Xiuxiu, giving Gu Yuena a basic understanding of the household.

Na Nali and Leng Yulai led an attack on a Federation convoy carrying Fixed Soul Guidance Shells, but the ambush turned out to be a trap involving the Military and Tang Sect. Na Nali entered Zang Xin’s deadly domain to rescue Leng Yulai.

• A convoy of twenty vehicles carrying Fixed Soul Guidance Shells traveled toward a military base under heavy Mecha and fighter-jet escort.
• Explosives beneath the highway dropped the vehicles into a pit, where steel cables trapped them and jamming disabled their communications.

• Tang Wulin’s forces found that the more than one hundred surrounded Evil Soul Masters had killed themselves, leaving Allied Command to seal off the toxic area.

Zang Xin and Tang Wulin tried to learn about the Holy Spirit Cult from their prisoner, Leng Yulai, and discussed persuading Vast Sea Douluo Chen Xinjie through his supposedly dead lover, Long Yeyue. Leng Yulai revealed that she had been intimate with Yun Ming, provoking Ya Li into slapping her.

• Ya Li lost her temper and slapped Leng Yulai, who shouted at her and struggled against her restraints.

• Ya Li restrained Leng Yulai’s escape attempts and demanded to know what happened to Yun Ming after he lost his memories.

• Zang Xin told Tang Wulin to go to Heaven Dou City and invite someone over, and Tang Wulin set out.

• Gu Yuena went to the Spirit Pagoda to prevent Qiangu Zhangting from threatening Nan Fusheng, while deciding to postpone confronting Tang Wulin until she could wield God Level power.
• Gu Yuena considered giving Nan Fusheng an inverse scale for protection, but rejected using Di Tian's because it could expose Nan Fusheng to danger.

Aqua broke through to rank 99 with help from the Four-word Battle Armor while Long Yeyue arrived at the Eastern Fleet Legion base and demanded that Chen Xinjie meet her. After Shenwei and Duanmu Yan failed to stop her together, Shenwei prepared to challenge her alone.

• Aqua broke through to rank 99 and told Long Tianwu she was a Quasi-Demigod, while Long Tianwu said she and Ao Rui still lacked the opportunity to advance.

• Shenwei summoned Thunder Claw Zeus and unleashed his dragon might, suppressing Long Yeyue and raising his power to the level of a Super Douluo.
• Long Yeyue blocked Shenwei's spear attack with a Light and Darkness vortex and tore apart his Thunder Dragon, intending to damage his cultivation foundation.

At the Eastern Fleet base, Aqua blocked Chen Xinjie from intervening and clashed with him after activating her Mermaid True Body, leaving the fleet's generals stunned by their commanders’ battle.

• Long Yeyue unleashed her Limit Douluo power against Shenwei, who transformed his arm into Thunder Claw Zeus and shattered her illusory dragons.
• Shenwei summoned his Three-word Battle Armor, and Duanmu Yan called forth Huo Tian, who met Long Yeyue’s attack head-on as Shenwei joined the fight.
• Chen Xinjie tried to leave the base to reach Long Yeyue, but Aqua blocked his way and insisted she would handle the matter.
• Aqua attacked Chen Xinjie with her Mermaid martial soul, then activated Mermaid True Body and her Four-word Battle Armor to launch a near-Quasi-God strike.
• Chen Xinjie turned to counter Aqua, and the resulting clash shook the Eastern Fleet base and shocked its generals.

Aqua’s fight with Chen Xinjie nearly sparked a clash between the Eastern Fleet and Sea God Legions, while Long Tianwu stopped Ling Ying from joining in after explaining it was a family matter. Outside the base, Duanmu Yan and Shenwei combined their attacks to defeat Long Yeyue’s defense, leaving her wounded and bent on revenge.

• Long Yeyue rose wounded and furious, resolving to destroy Duanmu Yan and Shenwei.

Shenwei and Duanmu Yan fought Long Yeyue, using Shenwei to hold her in place while Huo Tian prepared another Quasi-God-level strike. As Huo Tian broke Long Yeyue’s shield, Chen Xinjie sensed her danger, ended his standoff with Aqua, and donned his Four-word Battle Armor.

• Chen Xinjie seized control of the Ocean, left Aqua behind, and flew to Long Yeyue’s battlefield; Aqua then headed for the Eastern Fleet Legion’s Mothership with Chen Zeyu and others following.
• Huo Tian struck Long Yeyue with a Quasi-God-level attack, but Chen Xinjie found her alive in the Energy Storm and embraced her.
• Long Yeyue and Chen Xinjie recognized each other after 106 years, and she regained her youthful appearance before slapping him for embracing her without permission.
• Chen Xinjie ordered Duanmu Yan and Shenwei away, and Duanmu Yan quietly left behind a small metal component before returning to the Base.
• Duanmu Yan boarded the Eastern Fleet Legion’s Mothership, where Aqua sat in the command center as Chen Zeyu urged her not to attack Chen Xinjie with it.

• Duanmu Yan reported that a Limit Douluo with Four-word Battle Armor had fought him and Shenwei, but Chen Xinjie had stopped them from capturing her.

• The Enterprise fired azure energy shells toward the outskirts of Skysea City, and Chen Xinjie spotted them flying toward him and Long Yeyue.

Aqua ordered the Eastern Fleet to bombard Chen Xinjie and Long Yeyue, whose barrier was disrupted by Penetration Cannons, leaving them battered but alive. As Chen Xinjie sensed an even greater threat, Aqua’s officers persuaded her not to fire Level 9 shells, and she agreed to stop the attack.

• The Enterprise fired more than a hundred Sea God-type Soul Cannons at Chen Xinjie and Long Yeyue, and Chen Xinjie shielded them with his Ocean Power.
• After Chen Xinjie detonated the first barrage, twenty Penetration Cannons disrupted his barrier, allowing the following shells to engulf him and Long Yeyue.

After Long Yeyue left Chen Xinjie, Zang Xin explained to Tang Wulin that he had secured a year to prevent war with the Holy Spirit Church and planned to use Dark Phoenix to exchange for Yun Ming. He said Yun Ming’s return could make rebuilding Shrek Academy possible, and Tang Wulin prepared for the voyage to Dou Ling Continent.

• Long Yeyue struck Chen Xinjie, told him she would not see him unless Shrek was rebuilt, and disappeared; Chen Xinjie vowed to spend his remaining years helping fulfill her wish.

• Zang Xin told Tang Wulin that they needed to contact Leng Yaozhu secretly and prepare for the two-month voyage from the Federation to Dou Ling Continent.

Nan Fusheng assessed how the Holy Spirit Cult’s attack had shifted public opinion and considered Gu Yuena’s plans for the other continents. Meanwhile, Dou Ling Emperor Xue Yuntian weighed his empire’s weakness and uncertain allies as he feared an impending war, leaving him wondering whether the Heavenly Enlightenment Church held the key to becoming Soul Masters.

• Nan Fusheng noted that the Holy Spirit Cult’s broadcast had strengthened the Doves’ case against war, while Chen Xinjie began purging the cult from Skysea City.
• Nan Fusheng suspected Gu Yuena would visit the other continents to oversee the spread of Artificial Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Spirits, and hoped Aponia’s affairs would conclude without conflict.
• Xue Yuntian reviewed the Dou Ling Empire’s small population and weak military, rejected plans for mutual destruction and territorial concessions, and awaited promised aid from the Tang Sect.
• Xue Yuntian recalled that the Spirit Pagoda had offered only vague promises while the Tang Sect’s support remained delayed, leaving the empire exposed to the Douluo Federation.
• Xue Yuntian considered seeking help from the Heavenly Enlightenment Church, whose Saintess Aponia had once offered an alliance in exchange for making the church the state religion, but the Tang Sect and Spirit Pagoda had opposed it.
• Xue Yuntian suspected the Tang Sect and Spirit Pagoda were suppressing the Heavenly Enlightenment Church because it could teach ordinary people to become Soul Masters.

Xue Zhonggao launched a coup against Xue Yuntian, using Ocasers and his Ice Cream Army to attack the Dou Ling Imperial Palace. He confronted his father and revealed that he had disabled the palace arrays and blocked the Imperial Tribute Group from helping.

• Xue Yuntian decided to contact Aponia to investigate whether the Heavenly Enlightenment Church could make ordinary people into Spirit Masters, but discovered an Isolation Barrier had trapped him.

• Xue Yuntian recognized the Ice Cream Army as Xue Zhonggao's private force and realized his eldest son was behind the attack.
• Xue Zhonggao entered Xue Yuntian's study and said he had rebelled because he believed Xue Yuntian favored Xue Rengui for the throne by arranging his marriage to the Nutrisco family's daughter.
• Xue Zhonggao told Xue Yuntian that the palace arrays would remain unusable for a time and that he had stopped the Imperial Tribute Group from coming to the emperor's aid.

Xue Zhonggao’s Ice Cream Assassins attacked Xue Yuntian in the palace, but Xue Yuntian’s defenses held until Xue Zhonggao used a Level 9 Fixed Soul Cannon Shell. Xue Yuntian was caught in the blast, while Xue Zhonggao survived and reaffirmed his resolve to claim the throne.

• Xue Zhonggao used his Martial Soul Avatar to distract Xue Yuntian while a concealed Ice Cream Assassin attacked from behind.
• Xue Yuntian summoned the Basalt Shield and trapped the first assassin, but a second eight-ring assassin shattered his Martial Soul Avatar by striking its weakness.
• The two Ice Cream Assassins merged and unleashed the spiritual Martial Soul Fusion Skill, Blade of Formlessness, forcing Xue Yuntian to rely on his spiritual defensive Soul Tools.
• Xue Zhonggao ran outside and sent a Level 9 Fixed Soul Cannon Shell into the palace, reducing the building to ash in a massive explosion.
• After the blast, Xue Zhonggao briefly questioned his plan, then resolved that his father’s favoritism had left him no choice but to take the throne.

Xue Zhonggao took the Dou Ling throne with Aponia’s help, while Bai Xiuxiu struggled to find a way to complete Augustus’s mission against Nan Fusheng. She gained another month to act and then met Xu Xiaoyan, who welcomed her into the household.

• Aponia revealed that she had used Precepts to influence Xue Zhonggao and that the Elder Council would soon awaken after she had put them to sleep.
• In Dou Ling Calendar year 9535, Xue Yuntian died, and Xue Zhonggao succeeded him as emperor despite the Tang Sect and Spirit Pagoda sending representatives.
