• The Golden Body Douluo summoned his nine Soul Rings and prepared to strike, but Wang Nan grabbed his wrist and stopped him.

Wang Nan confronted Golden Body Douluo Jin Peng over the Body Sect’s attempt to claim the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. After Youxiang Qiluo revealed the powerful Soul Beasts guarding the grounds, Wang Nan offered a limited compromise while refusing to let anyone take control of the place.

• Youxiang Qiluo revealed its power and the presence of other Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts after overhearing Jin Peng discuss dividing the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
• Wang Nan explained that Youxiang Qiluo suppressed the poisonous flowers outside, so removing it would make the treasure ground inaccessible or destroy it.
• Wang Nan told Jin Peng that visitors could pick immortal herbs but that he would not help anyone monopolize the treasure ground.

Jin Peng agreed to stop hunting the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts and was allowed to pick up to seven immortal herbs, while Wang Nan explored the bottom of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

• Wang Nan found the intertwined Soul Bones of the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings, left them untouched, and returned to tell Youxiang Qiluo that he had confirmed a few suspicions.

Wang Nan learned that Youxiang Qiluo's Soul Bone could dispel negative effects and fully restore his condition, then urged her and the other plant Soul Beasts to prepare their minds for future tribulations. The humans left the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well without making an agreement, and Youxiang Qiluo began reviving the surrounding flowers as she embraced her strength.

• Youxiang Qiluo released the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well's power, causing Azure Scale Nine Absolutes Flowers beyond the valley to bloom.

After Wang Nan and Xian Lin'er learned that the Sun Moon Empire had invaded Heaven Dou Empire territory, the chapter shifted to the war on the Star Luo front, where Juzi chose not to engage Shrek Academy so the campaign could continue.

After returning from Sunset Forest, Wang Nan learned that the Sun Moon Empire possessed a Soul Tool powerful enough to threaten even Xuan Zi, then struggled to find a path toward forming a second Soul Core. He left for the Soul Tool Department with Gongyang Mo, who had reached the limit of his cultivation, and heard that Ye Xiaosheng had postponed his trip to the Sun Moon Empire because war had erupted.

• Xian Lin'er and Wang Nan returned to Sea God Island and reported that the Poison Barrier had been removed and the escaped Soul Beasts had been driven back into Sunset Forest.
• Wang Nan explained the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well's significance, and Xuan Zi said he had seen a Sun Moon Empire Soul Tool that could severely injure him.

• Yan Shaozhe approved Wang Nan's graduation application and assured him that Shrek Academy and Sea God Island would welcome him back.
• Wang Nan visited the Lake of Life and asked Three-Eyed Golden Lion about Di Tian, who was still in Dragon Valley with Xiong Jun.

• Near the coast, Wang Nan saw a Soul Tool crew unload a dying Sea Soul Beast and learned that people had been hunting the increased Sea Soul Beast population.
• Wang Nan suspected that the Sea Soul Beasts had lost the deities' control after the God Realm's connection to Douluo Continent was severed, and wondered whether the hunt protected humans or soul beasts.

Wang Nan crossed the sea toward the Dragon Tomb, fighting off a Sea Soul Beast and helping a group of Soul Masters along the way. At Dragon Valley, the Silver-clad Girl and Di Tian discussed the sealed route to the God Realm before sensing a guest's arrival.

• Di Tian said Wang Nan’s body was exceptionally strong but still not strong enough for the second Soul Core.

Di Tian explained the physical and spiritual challenges of forming a Yin-Yang Complementary Soul Core, but Wang Nan chose to try after studying how Di Tian’s cores worked. The Silver Dragon King offered him a Dragon King torso bone and asked him to help her reach the God Realm once he became a god, suggesting godhood could be attained even while the God Realm remained cut off.

• Di Tian explained that forming a Yin-Yang Complementary Soul Core required separating Soul Power from Spiritual Power and a body strong enough to withstand the process.

The Silver Dragon King explained how Wang Nan could create a god position and helped him prepare to condense his Second Soul Core by absorbing Soul Bones and tempering his bones in the Dragon Tomb. As the Mountain Dragon King Torso Bone fused with him, the Silver Dragon King shattered his bones, and a burst of pitch-black light shot from Di Tian toward Wang Nan.

• The Silver Dragon King told Wang Nan that he could create a god position with her help and explained that his Yin-Yang Complementary Soul Core was close to a Divine Core.

• Wang Nan absorbed the Soul Bone from Youxiang Qiluo, completing the set of bones he needed before taking the torso bone.
• The Silver Dragon King summoned the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings' lingering souls from the Dragon God's Tear, then Wang Nan began absorbing the Mountain Dragon King Torso Bone.
• The Silver Dragon King poured force into Wang Nan's bones as he absorbed the torso bone, and Di Tian sent a streak of pitch-black light toward him.
• The Silver Dragon King raised her hand, the light around Wang Nan vanished, and his bones shattered.

Wang Nan absorbed the Mountain Dragon King Torso Bone, merging his seven Soul Bones and gaining an initial idea for condensing his Second Soul Core. Meanwhile, Sea Soul Beasts and an attack by black-robed figures overwhelmed Dongyang City, leaving it flooded and its defenders devastated.

• Wang Nan's seven Soul Bones merged under the influence of the Silver Dragon King and multiple Dragon Souls, and his shattered body healed as golden blood circulated through him.

• Two black-robed figures watched the destruction, and one gathered wronged souls into a black banner bearing a mermaid silhouette.

After completing Bone Tempering in the Dragon Tomb, Wang Nan attempted to condense a Second Soul Core using his bloodline power and the Gold of Life. He brought it to the same strength as his First Soul Core, and the two cores finally faced each other head-on.

• Wang Nan emerged from Bone Tempering with every bone able to absorb Soul Power and Spiritual Power, and the Silver Dragon King explained that a Yin-Yang Complementary Soul Core would make forming a Divine Core easier.
• Wang Nan used the Gold of Life and his bloodline power to draw Soul Power from the First Soul Core and begin condensing a Second Soul Core in his chest.
• His Soul Power ran wild and tore open his meridians, so Wang Nan relied on his strong body and the Gold of Life to endure and heal his injuries.
• Wang Nan strengthened the Second Soul Core until it matched the First Soul Core, then the Heavenly Forging Floating Life Dragon emerged and the two Soul Cores met head-on.

Wang Nan condensed his Second Soul Core, merged Spiritual Power, Soul Power, and Bloodline Power, and broke through to Titled Douluo. Gu Yue summoned the Dragon Tomb’s Dragon Souls to provide him with a Soul Ring, leaving Wang Nan surrounded by a starry vision as the ring appeared.
