• Xie Yue threatened Li Yu with Spirit Hall’s retaliation, but Li Yu crushed him with spatial force and stopped Yan with a forceful strike.

• The hunched figure revealed his nine Soul Rings and threatened to kill Hu Liena, Xie Yue, and Yan because they belonged to Spirit Hall.
• Li Yu accepted the challenge and said he wanted to see the Titled Douluo’s strength.

Li Yu faced a Titled Douluo and defeated the hunched man's spiritual attack inside his sea of consciousness. Hu Liena, Xie Yue, and the unconscious Yan escaped while Li Yu remained behind.

• The Bone Blade Storm shattered the thunder hell thorn space, and Li Yu’s face turned pale.

Li Yu used a five-element fusion cube against the hunchbacked Holy Church leader, creating a vast explosion in the Star Dou Great Forest. When the blast cleared, the leader survived and revealed himself as a skeleton, then used a drop of blood to turn his entire frame red.

• Li Yu hurled a cube fused from water, fire, life, lightning, and space at the hunchbacked man and escaped the blast with repeated Instant Movement.
• The explosion sent experts including Pope Bibi Dong rushing toward the Star Dou Great Forest, while Hu Liena and Xie Yue fled to its outskirts and realized Li Yu's power was immense.
• Li Yu watched the blast site and sensed that the hunchbacked man was still alive despite the destruction of his Skull Head.
• The hunchbacked man's robe fell away, revealing a bare skeleton with flames in its eye sockets.
• A drop of blood appeared at the skeleton's chest and abdomen, expanded, and rapidly coated its entire frame red.

The Holy Sect Leader was reborn in a young body and tried to recruit Li Yu by offering him the Holy Son position, but Li Yu refused. Bibi Dong arrived before the confrontation could resume and asked Li Yu if she was beautiful.

• A powerful presence arrived from the west, and the Holy Sect Leader recognized Bibi Dong as the Pope of Spirit Hall.
• Bibi Dong assessed Li Yu's strength and asked him, "Am I beautiful?"

• Bibi Dong displayed her nine Soul Rings, including a red Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring, and invited Li Yu to join Spirit Hall.
• Li Yu suggested that Bibi Dong and the Holy Church Leader fight to decide his fate, but Bibi Dong demanded that he join or die and ordered the Holy Church Leader to surrender.

• Li Yu formed a Space Thorns Domain around himself to block the black mist and Bibi Dong's spider phantom.
• Bibi Dong's Soul Rings flashed, and she used Eternal Creation.

Bibi Dong and the Holy Sect Leader attacked Li Yu while fighting, but he escaped with Elemental Dissolution. Four Worship Hall Titled Douluo then appeared and trapped the weakened Holy Sect Leader, while Bibi Dong left after confronting them.

• Bibi Dong's Eternal Creation struck the Holy Sect Leader and broke his White Bone Shield, while Li Yu prepared to flee during their battle.
• Bibi Dong and the Holy Sect Leader both attacked Li Yu, judging that he would not be won over and could become a threat.
• Li Yu used Elemental Dissolution to slip past their attacks and vanish, leaving Bibi Dong and the Holy Sect Leader to accuse each other of killing him.
• Bibi Dong revealed that four Worship Hall elders were nearby, and they appeared to surround the Holy Sect Leader in a five-point formation.
• The elders claimed they had come to protect Bibi Dong, who dismissed their excuse and left without checking whether Li Yu survived.

Li Yu remained hidden underground after Bibi Dong fled and the Worship Hall elders captured the Holy Sect Leader. As Elemental Dissolution failed, he summoned Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu through the Life Gate for protection, then collapsed unconscious while they tried to care for him.

• Li Yu watched the Worship Hall elders capture the Holy Sect Leader, then searched underground after recalling that the Holy Sect Disciples' blood and vitality had flowed into the earth.
• Li Yu's willpower weakened, so he carved out an underground space and summoned Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu through the Life Gate.
• Li Yu emerged from Elemental Dissolution and fell unconscious, and Zhu Zhuqing supported him while using Soul Power to clean and warm the dirt around them.
• Zhu Zhuqing told Xiao Wu that Li Yu had fallen into this weakened state before after obtaining her Sixth Soul Ring and had recovered after about seven days.
• Xiao Wu sensed that they were beneath Star Dou and realized that the Life Gate had brought them there instantly; the two understood that Li Yu had summoned them as his last line of protection.

Worried that Li Yu had disappeared and might be in danger, Qian Renxue resolved to become stronger. She agreed to undergo the Angel God's trial after securing the Heaven Dou throne, while Qian Daoliu offered to help her take it by force.

• Qian Renxue grew anxious after Li Yu and Zhu Zhuqing vanished, suspecting Li Yu had used Zhu Zhuqing's Life Gate to escape danger.
• Qian Renxue decided she needed to become stronger so she could protect Li Yu.
• Qian Daoliu appeared before Qian Renxue, and she told him she wanted to become the strongest in the world.
• Qian Daoliu urged Qian Renxue to return with him and begin the Angel God's trial, but she asked to wait until after the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Tournament and her plan to claim the Heaven Dou throne.
• Qian Daoliu offered to bring the Worship Hall elders to secure the throne immediately, but Qian Renxue refused and asked him to send a few elders to secretly protect her instead.
• After Qian Daoliu departed, Qian Renxue wondered whether she could become the Angel God and worried about Li Yu.

After recovering, Li Yu discovered a hidden cavern and an altar connected to the Holy Sect Leader, then suspected the sect had been collecting blood through deaths in the Star Dou Great Forest. She found no answers about the altar's purpose and decided to destroy it.

• Li Yu awoke in the underground space, reassured Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu, and prepared to use Space Leap to escape.
• Li Yu sensed a gap in the Space Veins and leaped with Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu into a vast underground cavern.
• Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu were shocked to learn Li Yu had fought a Titled Douluo, while Li Yu examined an altar bearing a pattern stained with dried blood.
• Xiao Wu identified the stains as human and Soul Beast blood, and Li Yu realized the missing flesh and blood of the dead Holy Sect Disciples might have been absorbed by the altar.
• Li Yu suspected the Holy Sect Leader had arranged deaths to gather blood qi, but found no explanation for the altar and decided to tear it apart.

Li Yu destroyed the altar and tried to leave with Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu, but her Space Leap collided with a Dark Demon Evil God Tiger. She fought the beast with four domains and several defenses, then braced for its dangerous Evil God Hook as it attacked.

• Li Yu shattered the altar and used Space Leap to take Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu away.
• Li Yu's leap collided with a sixty-to-seventy-thousand-year-old Dark Demon Evil God Tiger in the Space Veins.

• The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger attacked with black-red blades and a charging strike, but Li Yu's domains and Pure Water Defense stopped them.
• Li Yu recognized the tiger's strength and guarded against its time-based skill before it lashed its Evil God Hook at her.

Li Yu defeated the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger after its Life and Death Arena failed to affect her, then absorbed its pearl and gained the Dark Demon Sprite's Guard. The chapter ended with the Dark Demon Sprite ready to be condensed and controlled by Li Yu.

• The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger trapped Li Yu in its Life and Death Arena, but the arena’s rules did not change her body or overpower her.
• Li Yu used Instant Movement and Finger Devour to break the tiger’s Evil God Guard and strike its brow.
• An inexplicable power restored Li Yu and nullified the arena’s effects, while the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger shrank to a juvenile form.
• Li Yu killed the juvenile tiger and took the Dark Devil Evil God Pearl as the arena dissipated.
• The pearl evolved into the Dark Devil Sprite's Guard, granting Li Yu the ability to condense a Dark Demon Sprite that commanded six elements.

Li Yu absorbed the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger’s Soul Ring and advanced to Soul Saint, gaining Time Element Control and an External Soul Bone. Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu witnessed her astonishing transformation, while Li Yu prepared to investigate her new powers.

• Li Yu sensed an unusual connection to the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger’s Natal Pearl, and System Bro transformed it into the External Soul Bone Dark Devil Sprite’s Guard.
• Li Yu spent 31,000 Free Allocation Years to raise the beast’s Soul Ring to 100,000 years, then began absorbing it as Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu stood guard.
• The Soul Ring quickly merged with Li Yu and changed from pitch-black to translucent white and crystalline as her seven Soul Rings appeared.
• Li Yu reached level 73 and gained Time Element Control, increasing her Time Element Affinity by 100%.
• Li Yu discovered an ancient pocket watch in her hand and injected time-element Soul Power into the Elemental Cube while Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu looked on in shock.

Li Yu tested the antique pocket watch’s time-reversal and time-freezing abilities after reaching Soul Saint, then discovered a powerful torso Soul Bone on the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger. He began absorbing it as its power remade his torso skeleton.

• Li Yu used Reversal Journey to rewind the surrounding area, then learned the pocket watch could also freeze time with Silence, though the reversal consumed thirty percent of his Soul Power in three breaths.
• Li Yu’s Seventh Soul Ring granted Elemental Sprite True Body, and his Elf Wings evolved into a hundred-thousand-year External Soul Bone while retaining Elemental Storm.
• Li Yu used Space Power to dissect the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger and found its seventy-thousand-year Dark Demonic Evil God Torso Bone.
• Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu guarded Li Yu as he absorbed the torso bone in the underground hollow.
• The torso bone’s power began breaking down and strengthening Li Yu’s torso skeleton, making the fusion far more painful than his previous Soul Bone absorptions.

After completing his absorption of the Dark Demonic Evil God Tiger's soul ring and torso bone, Li Yu returned to Heaven Dou City and reunited with Qian Renxue. As he recounted his journey, Qian Renxue grew alarmed when he mentioned Bibi Dong.
