Chapter Summaries

Aiven brought his companions and Xiao Guang to the Divine Hall, where they began trials that steadily increased their cultivation. News that Aiven might become a god terrified the Star Luo Empire, but Ning Fengzhi urged the emperor to avoid an early war and suggested asking Tang San to persuade the Clear Sky Sect to aid them.

• Aiven led everyone into the Divine Hall’s Soul Trial, where the pressure initially drove his companions out while Xiao Guang thrived and rapidly improved.
• After repeated attempts, Feng Xiaotian, Zhu Zhuqing, Shui Bing’er, and the others learned to cultivate in the trial and began making rapid progress.
• News of the Divine Hall and Aiven’s potential godhood spread, alarming the Star Luo Empire and prompting officials to urge an alliance with the Spirit Hall Empire against Aiven.

• When the emperor said the Clear Sky Sect refused to help, Ning Fengzhi proposed that Tang San might persuade it to emerge, though the emperor doubted the sect would listen to Tang Hao’s son.

After the Clear Sky Sect’s Seventh Elder beat Tang San, Tang San used fabricated claims about the Aiven Empire to persuade the sect to emerge and support the Star Luo Empire.

Meanwhile, Qian Renxue began Angel God's Trial and received the long-awaited Angel Nine Trials, leaving her convinced she could surpass Aiven.

• Aiven killed the Sky Azure Bull Python, absorbed its soul ring and soul bone, rose to Rank 74, and gained Emperor True Body and two hundred-thousand-year soul bone skills.

After gaining new soul powers, Aiven summoned nine Three Kingdoms Generals, including Guan Yu, and activated the Peach Garden Oath bond. He gathered his Titled Douluo generals to test his strength, but they hesitated to fight him at full power.

• The generals objected that they might injure Aiven and struggled to accept fighting their lord in earnest.

Aiven tested his strength by fighting Yu Jin, a level 91 Titled Douluo, and defeated him decisively after showcasing his abilities to the watching generals. Having confirmed that his combat power had reached the Titled Douluo level, Aiven recovered and chose to challenge level 95 Xiahou Dun next.
