• The lake and tree stirred, and radiant guardians appeared, warning the group to leave or return to Guixu.

Bibi Dong responded to Lin Xi’s destruction of the Papal Edict by making Shrek Academy the target of Spirit Hall’s Golden Generation at the upcoming Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament. Meanwhile, Lin Xi prepared her students to fight the ancient lifeforms at Life Lake and use them to advance.

• At Life Lake, Lin Xi called the ancient lifeforms world “Immune Cells” and told her seven students to use them as nourishment for breakthroughs.

Lin Xi urged the group to treat the ancient law creatures as nourishment, teaching them to absorb their attacks instead of meeting them with Soul Skills. After Ma Hongjun absorbed the fire and began breaking through his Soul Power bottleneck, Tang San realized the others could do the same, and they charged into the creatures’ attacks.

• A Kirin-shaped law creature attacked Lin Xi with a beam of destruction, which erased Dai Mubai’s defenses and Tang San’s vines before Lin Xi pushed Dai Mubai aside.

• Ning Rongrong amplified the traits of her teammates' Martial Souls, and Oscar supplied sausages to replenish their strength and soul power.
• Tang San used his Eight Spider Lances to devour a Man Faced Demon Spider's laws of binding and deadly poison, then realized Lin Xi had anticipated how they could absorb the attacks.
• After the Shrek Seven Devils devoured the phantoms, the Golden Ancient Tree formed a hundred-meter golden giant that declared them blasphemers and attacked.
• The golden giant's punch locked onto the space and time beneath the Shrek Seven Devils, freezing them in place as its fist descended.

Lin Xi urged the Shrek Seven Devils to overcome their fear and destroy the Golden Giant by striking its law core. Tang San shattered it with the Clear Sky Hammer, and the group began devouring its law fragments as Tang San’s Soul Power surged past level fifty.

• Lin Xi explained that the Golden Giant was a mindless construct of basic laws and told the Shrek Seven Devils to find its weakness and slay it.

• Lin Xi commanded the lake to open, splitting its waters and revealing a staircase of light descending into an abyss.

Lin Xi led the Shrek Seven Devils down the Stairway of Light to a Crystal Coffin containing Source, the ancient being whose body, soul, and heart became the foundation of the continent. After opening the coffin and claiming Source’s Heart Blood as payment, she watched it suddenly fly toward Tang San’s Clear Sky Hammer.

• Lin Xi led the Shrek Seven Devils down the Stairway of Light to a vast platform deep beneath the Life Lake.

• Source’s Heart Blood broke free from Lin Xi’s grasp and shot toward Tang San’s Clear Sky Hammer.

• The Heart Blood of Source abandoned Lin Xi and struck Tang San’s Clear Sky Hammer, flooding it and Tang San with primordial energy.

• Lin Xi explained that the Clear Sky Hammer had become Tang San’s second heart and that he would remain unconscious for several days as their powers assimilated.
• Lin Xi told the others that their training would continue in the Crystal Coffin, where they could absorb its life essence and comprehend Source’s law imprints.
• Ning Rongrong, Ma Hongjun, and Oscar objected to lying in the coffin, but Lin Xi warned she would leave them on the surface if they refused.
• Dai Mubai entered the Crystal Coffin and felt its life energy stabilize his Soul Power, prompting Zhu Zhuqing, Xiao Wu, Ma Hongjun, Ning Rongrong, and Oscar to join him.
• Lin Xi ordered the six to meditate with their eyes closed while she sat beside the sleeping Tang San.

Inside the Crystal Coffin, Dai Mubai, Zhu Zhuqing, Xiao Wu, and the others underwent individual transformations as they seized different opportunities. Outside, Lin Xi shattered Tang San’s four soul rings and rebuilt them as God-tier Chaos Soul Rings, leaving him on the verge of waking.

• Dai Mubai perceived the laws of strength, protection, and order, then absorbed insights that deepened his understanding of strength.

Lin Xi stepped toward the crowd waiting to see them, ready to answer Spirit Hall’s public challenge.

• The Shrek Seven Devils left Life Lake with greatly increased strength, including Tang San at level fifty-seven with four Chaos Soul Rings and the Realm Suppressor.
• The group traveled quickly out of the Star Dou Great Forest, and several Soul Beasts avoided them while Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun ate a few Ten Thousand Year Soul Beasts.

Lin Xi led the Shrek Seven Devils past a crowd of Soul Masters after Tang San frightened the Violent Bear Sect’s sect master into collapsing with a trace of his hammer’s aura. On the road ahead, they encountered Spirit Hall’s Golden Generation, who had been waiting for them.

Hu Liena, Xie Yue, and Yan confronted the Shrek Seven Devils, but Tang San resisted Hu Liena’s Charm and sent Yan flying with one punch. Lin Xi dismissed the Golden Generation and led the Shrek team onward, leaving Hu Liena and Xie Yue humiliated and shaken.

• Hu Liena confronted the Shrek Seven Devils and tried to ensnare them with her Peerless Beauty, but Tang San’s spiritual power broke the technique and caused her to suffer backlash.

Lin Xi accepted the challenge and ordered a brutal final training regimen, leaving the seven Devils facing a choice between fighting her or becoming Yu Xiaogang’s test subjects.

Lin Xi made the Shrek Seven Devils fight one another, then trapped them in an arena where perfectly coordinated copies defeated them. After the illusion ended, she told them their strength was wasted by their selfish, fragmented teamwork and ordered them to defeat themselves.

• At dawn, the Shrek Seven Devils began fighting each other under Lin Xi’s rules, each targeting opponents while protecting themselves.
