Chapter Summaries

Huo Yuhao followed Wang Dong into the Clear Sky Sect’s Sect Forbidden Ground, which the sect had turned into a vast storage cellar. They reached its central chamber, where eight mysterious platforms stood.

• Huo Yuhao judged the Clear Sky Sect strong and decided to explore the Sect Forbidden Ground with Wang Dong.
• Wang Dong led Huo Yuhao along a mountain path to the stone entrance and explained that the sect stored wine there because it lacked preservation Soul Tools.
• Huo Yuhao lit their way through the passage with a golden ball of light and promised to teach Wang Dong the skill.
• Wang Dong showed Huo Yuhao the cluttered entrance chamber and activated the ancient Lifting Device to descend into the cellar.
• Wang Dong led Huo Yuhao past stored food to the center of the Sect Forbidden Ground, where they found seven outer platforms surrounding a larger, tiered central platform.

Huo Yuhao examined the Sea God's Inheritance Pillar and discovered it contained the technology to create Soul Rings. With Electrolux's help, he transferred the Shura God’s trial imprint to his Undead Alchemy Puppet and prepared to test whether it could activate the pillar.

• Qian Daoliu explained that the cellar contained Sea God's Island's Inheritance Pillar, while Huo Yuhao realized the Titan Giant Ape and Sky Azure Bull Python had brought him there for a reason.
• Huo Yuhao studied the pillar with his abilities and Electrolux's guidance, learning its structure and recognizing its potential for artificial Soul Ring technology.
• Huo Yuhao tried using power bearing an angel imprint on the Sea God's pillar, but it could not connect to the pillar's energy system.
• Huo Yuhao released his Undead Alchemy Puppet and used Mimicry and the Gold of Life to make it resemble him, startling Wang Dong.
• Electrolux helped Huo Yuhao place the Shura God’s trial imprint on the puppet, then instructed him to have it touch the Sea God's Inheritance Pillar.

Huo Yuhao used the Shura imprint to activate the Sea God’s Inheritance Pillar and discovered the two inheritances belonged to Tang San. He and his companions extracted several beads of Immortal Spirit Qi before Sky Dream Ice Silkworm and Ice Empress began powering up the Little Skeleton to retaliate.

• Huo Yuhao had the Little Skeleton touch the Inheritance Pillar, and the Shura imprint activated it by functioning as a key for the Sea God inheritance.
• Huo Yuhao and Qian Daoliu realized Tang San’s Shura and Sea God inheritances were connected and that Immortal Spirit Qi supported inheritance rewards.
• Huo Yuhao controlled the Little Skeleton to retrieve several beads of Immortal Spirit Qi while Wang Dong held them.
• Sky Dream Ice Silkworm and Ice Empress poured their sealed power into the Little Skeleton, raising its strength until Sky Dream Ice Silkworm brought its Mental Power to the Limit Douluo level.

Huo Yuhao and his allies exploited the Shura God Trial’s level requirement by forcing the Undead Alchemic Puppet’s power fluctuations to level 99, allowing Huo Yuhao to receive the inheritance pillar’s power. In the God Realm, Tang San believed the Shura Imprint had finally marked Huo Yuhao and celebrated, unaware that the trial had been manipulated.

• Electrolux and Huo Yuhao’s Brain Trust planned to fool the first Shura God Trial by briefly raising the Undead Alchemic Puppet’s power fluctuations to level 99.
• The Ice Empress used the Ten Thousand Year Cold Jade Bed’s purification to push the puppet’s fluctuations to Limit Douluo level, despite the strain on herself and Sky Dream Ice Silkworm.
• The puppet exploded into bone dust, and Huo Yuhao guided the power descending from the Inheritance Pillar into himself.
• Tang San saw the Shura Imprint register and believed the Child of Destiny had been marked, celebrating that his scheme had succeeded.

Tang San lost the purified Shura Power he had prepared to suppress Mother of All Souls when the Shura inheritance automatically rewarded Huo Yuhao for passing its first trial. Huo Yuhao gained an overwhelming Slaughter Domain, while Tang San realized his supposed death was a trick and faced a much longer struggle.

• Tang San promised Xiao Wu they would spend time together, then discovered his purified Shura Power had vanished and learned the Shura trial inheritor had died.
• Mother of All Souls struck Tang San through their Divine Power link, and he found that the Azure Cloud Mist had grown stronger rather than weaker.
• Tang San realized Huo Yuhao was alive and accused him of joining forces with Mother of All Souls to trick him.
• The Shura inheritance mechanism sent Tang San's purified killing intent to Huo Yuhao as the reward for completing the first trial.
• Huo Yuhao absorbed the killing intent and formed a powerful Slaughter Domain around the Clear Sky Sect's forbidden ground.
• Huo Yuhao put the domain away and collapsed, realizing he could not use it until at least Soul Saint level and would need to reach Titled Douluo level to wield it freely.

Huo Yuhao severed the connection between Wang Dong’s Divine Power and the God Realm, then explained the Sea God’s Inheritance Pillar to her. The Sky Azure Bull Python and Titan Giant Ape chose to pretend nothing had happened, leaving Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong to keep the incident quiet.

• Wang Dong noticed that the restraint in her mind and the sense of disgust had vanished, while the Titan Giant Ape and Sky Azure Bull Python realized their connection to the God Realm had been severed.
• The Titan Giant Ape and Sky Azure Bull Python feared Tang San’s reaction and agreed to conceal the upheaval, advising that Huo Yuhao remove the Divine Power from Wang Dong’s Sea of Spirit.
• Huo Yuhao explained the Inheritance Pillar and the Sea God’s Divine Power to Wang Dong, who angrily cursed the Sea God for interfering with her.
• Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong arrived above the forbidden ground, where the Titan Giant Ape and Sky Azure Bull Python pretended not to have heard their conversation.
• The Titan Giant Ape claimed he and the Sky Azure Bull Python had only just arrived, and the Sky Azure Bull Python introduced himself to Huo Yuhao as Niu Tian.

After three peaceful weeks at the Clear Sky Sect, Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong left so she could return to the academy and he could continue his projects. As they flew down from the sect, Wang Dong recognized that she might not be able to return for a long time and vowed to help her fathers escape their difficulties.

• Huo Yuhao spent three weeks cooking for the Sky Azure Bull Python and extracting Divine Power from Wang Dong for Electrolux while cultivating with her at night.
• Huo Yuhao told the Titan Giant Ape and Sky Azure Bull Python that he and Wang Dong had to leave because her term was starting and he needed to travel to the Far North Land and Sun Moon.
• The Titan Giant Ape urged Huo Yuhao to visit again, and Huo Yuhao promised to take good care of Wang Dong.
• Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong glided down from the Clear Sky Sect, and Wang Dong wondered whether she would be unable to return for a long time.
• Wang Dong vowed to help her fathers escape their difficulties and threatened whoever had schemed against them.
• Wang Dong accused Huo Yuhao of sneaking a peek at her, and he denied it before urging them onward.

Huo Yuhao returned to the Far North Land, revisiting the cave where he had once found the Giant Three-Legged Ammonite. He stored the enormous remains in a Starlight Sapphire Storage Soul Guidance Device and prepared to leave with his prize.

• Huo Yuhao left Shrek City for the Far North Land, still pondering Sky Azure Bull Python's hint that Shrek Academy had more than one top-tier powerhouse.
• Huo Yuhao crossed the Frozen Forest and snowfields with ease, using Flowing Water Treading Moon to reach the familiar cave.
• Huo Yuhao found the cave unchanged and examined the Giant Three-Legged Ammonite's immense shell.
• Huo Yuhao used the Starlight Sapphire Storage Soul Guidance Device to store the Giant Three-Legged Ammonite's remains.

Huo Yuhao stored the Giant Three-Legged Ammonite remains and studied the God Conferring Platform while considering how to prepare for Tang San. He was startled when the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast imprisoned inside detected his Mental Detection and spoke to him.

• Huo Yuhao realized his giant Starlight Sapphire Storage Soul Guidance Device and Undead Demiplane could let him transport enormous quantities of Rare Metals.
• Huo Yuhao stored the Giant Three-Legged Ammonite remains, which he considered ideal material for condensing an Artificial Soul Core.
• Huo Yuhao began examining the God Conferring Platform's internal structure to develop countermeasures against Tang San.
• The imprisoned Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast sensed Huo Yuhao's Mental Detection and threatened him, leaving him puzzled about how it could detect his mental power.

Huo Yuhao studied the God Conferring Platform’s technology while its imprisoned Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast Embryo grew increasingly angry at being ignored. He suppressed her with his Mental Power and Shura Killing Intent, but her fury surged when he mentioned Ice Empress, leaving her demanding to know what he had done to Icey.

• Huo Yuhao used Mental Detection to see that a little girl-shaped Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast Embryo was trapped inside the God Conferring Platform.
• Huo Yuhao examined the platform’s internal components and concluded that the Embryo’s own power sealed it, then compared its technology with the Tang Sect’s mechanical Hidden Weapons.
• The Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast Embryo sensed Huo Yuhao’s excitement over the platform and became furious that he found the container more interesting than her.
• Huo Yuhao warned the Embryo to stay quiet and offered a possible trade involving top-grade Soul Bones, threatening to turn her into Origin Power if she interfered.
• Huo Yuhao’s Shura Killing Intent silenced the Embryo, but she then demanded to know what he had done to Icey.

Huo Yuhao discovered that the soul beast trapped in the God Conferring Platform was the Snow Empress, an old friend of the Ice Empress. As the Ice Empress reunited with her and explained her own path, Huo Yuhao went back to examining the platform and demanded four hundred-thousand-year soul bones for the Snow Empress’s release.

• Huo Yuhao summoned the Ice Empress and Sky Dream Ice Silkworm to speak with the soul beast inside the God Conferring Platform.
• The Ice Empress and the trapped soul beast recognized each other as old friends, and Huo Yuhao realized she was the Snow Empress.
• The Snow Empress and Ice Empress discussed how they had each encountered crises and how the Ice Empress had later joined Huo Yuhao.
• The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm greeted the Snow Empress and admitted that he had eaten Profound Ice Marrow beneath her nest.
• Huo Yuhao demanded four hundred-thousand-year soul bones in exchange for releasing the Snow Empress, then returned to studying the God Conferring Platform.
• The Ice Empress began explaining her history with Huo Yuhao and the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm to the Snow Empress, keeping some secrets to herself.

The Ice Empress explained the godhood crisis to the Snow Empress, who realized that neither remaining a soul beast nor cultivating anew as a human offered a hopeful future. After the Ice Empress pleaded with her to join Huo Yuhao, the Snow Empress agreed to assist him.

• The Ice Empress told the Snow Empress that she had joined Huo Yuhao to challenge the gods and explained that the path to godhood had been blocked for ten thousand years.
• The Snow Empress concluded that living on as a soul beast or a human offered only despair, and she had no way to buy back her freedom with soul bones.
• The Ice Empress urged the Snow Empress to join her and Huo Yuhao, then pleaded that they could live together again if they won.
• The Snow Empress agreed to join them, and the Ice Empress told Huo Yuhao that the seven-hundred-thousand-year Snow Empress would become his Wisdom Soul Ring.
• Huo Yuhao accepted, expecting the Ice and Snow Emperors together to strengthen his Ultimate Ice attribute.

After Snow Empress agreed to join Huo Yuhao, he released her from the God Conferring Platform and introduced her to Electrolux and Qian Daoliu. Huo Yuhao began explaining three plans for her, starting with rebuilding as a human in the Undead Demiplane, and the chapter left the other options unrevealed.

• Snow Empress agreed to cooperate with Huo Yuhao, and he warned her not to damage the God Conferring Platform while he released her.
• Huo Yuhao opened the platform’s pressure-release valve, freeing Snow Empress as Ice Empress clung to her in excitement.
• Snow Empress met Electrolux and Qian Daoliu, learned about their extraordinary identities and histories, and reacted with shock.
• Huo Yuhao explained that Snow Empress would need to sign a Soul Contract with him before choosing among three plans.
• Huo Yuhao presented the first plan: Snow Empress would rebuild as a human in the Undead Demiplane and remain there until she reached Level 70.

Huo Yuhao brought the Snow Empress to the Undead Demiplane, where Electrolux and Qian Daoliu explained their plan to help undead cultivate with Soul Cores. Their research revealed the potential to create a vast army of powerful undead, and Huo Yuhao seized on the idea of using unstable Soul Cores as bombs.

• The Ice Empress suggested the Snow Empress could become one of Yuhao's Wisdom Soul Rings, but the Snow Empress sealed her voice and asked about the third option.
• Huo Yuhao took the Snow Empress through the Gate of the Undead to the Undead Demiplane and led her to the Research Base.
• Electrolux and Qian Daoliu explained that they planned to inscribe more than three thousand Core Soul Guidance Arrays on the Giant Three-Legged Ammonite shell to help undead form Soul Cores.
• Huo Yuhao realized their method could mass-produce undead who could cultivate independently, potentially creating tens of thousands of powerful undead lifeforms.
• Electrolux clarified that Soul Cores required strong Mental Power or they would become bombs, and Huo Yuhao eagerly opened the Mission Log to record the idea.

Huo Yuhao presented the Snow Empress with a third option: becoming an undead pilot for a giant armored war machine, but she chose to form a Soul Contract with him instead. After sealing her power so she would occupy only one soul ring slot, Qian Daoliu and Electrolux considered whether Huo Yuhao’s martial souls and soul rings could eventually fuse.

• Qian Daoliu explained that the Giant Three-Legged Ammonite’s remains could become an undead war machine controlled by someone with Limit Douluo-level Mental Power.
• The Snow Empress rejected becoming an undead and chose the second option.
• Huo Yuhao drafted a Soul Contract, and the Snow Empress cooperated in forming their connection.
• The Snow Empress learned how to seal her power so that she would occupy only one of Huo Yuhao’s soul ring slots.
• Qian Daoliu raised the possibility that Huo Yuhao’s two martial souls might fuse, and Electrolux wondered whether two soul rings could be fused into one.

Huo Yuhao returned to the Sun Moon Royal Soul Tool Master Academy and resumed his training while Electrolux, the Snow Empress, and the Ice Empress considered researching Soul Ring fusion. Meanwhile, Jing Hongchen struggled under the Sun Moon Empire’s political turmoil, and Huo Yuhao sent Ji Juechen and Jing Ziyan to fight undead after they tormented him.

• Electrolux proposed studying Soul Ring fusion, and the Snow Empress and Ice Empress agreed to delay the Snow Empress’s Soul Ring absorption.
• Huo Yuhao returned to the academy, easing Lin Jiayi’s worry, while Jing Hongchen remained consumed by court politics, the Holy Spirit Cult, and the Old Emperor’s failing health.
• Jing Hongchen’s stress culminated in a rage in which he smashed everything breakable in his office.
• Huo Yuhao resumed cultivating and studying, and his improved combat ability let him fight Ji Juechen and Jing Ziyan together.
• After Jing Ziyan used Concussion Grenades on him, Huo Yuhao tricked her and Ji Juechen into signing contracts and sent them to the Undead Demiplane to battle its undead.

Huo Yuhao learned that Xuan Ziwen was researching Sealed Milk Bottle technology, which could let ordinary people use Soul Tools but still depended on Soul Masters to supply power. He devised a plan to combine Ammonite with the Sea God Pillar to create a self-sustaining charging and Soul Core condensation station, leaving the project as a way to bring Xuan Ziwen to his side.

• Ji Juechen and Jing Ziyan emerged injured from a night of fighting, and Huo Yuhao sent them to the school infirmary.
• Jing Ziyan recalled watching Bone Dragons work at the construction site before joining the Undead Knights in beating Ji Juechen.
• Huo Yuhao used tricks to learn that Xuan Ziwen was researching Sealed Milk Bottle manufacturing technology.
• Huo Yuhao considered how the technology could let ordinary people wield Soul Tools, though its charging needs would still limit its use in war.
• Huo Yuhao planned to connect Ammonite to the Sea God Pillar so Soul Cores could power the Pillar and enable a cycle of self-charging Sealed Milk Bottles.

Huo Yuhao completed the Energy Supply Station after a year of costly construction and prepared to begin the process of bringing Snow Empress into his Sea of Spirit. Electrolux established an isolation barrier as Snow Empress, Ice Empress, and Qian Daoliu gathered for the agreed-upon procedure.

• Huo Yuhao reflected on the Energy Supply Station’s purpose and the continent-wide speculation caused by his purchases of Deep Sea Sinking Silver.
• Huo Yuhao inspected the completed Sea God Pillar and the Ammonite Shell covered in Soul Guidance Core Arrays, noting that only Xuan Xinwen’s Sealed Milk Bottles remained.
• Huo Yuhao refused a ride from an undead creature on a bone horse decorated with Soul Guidance Lamp strips and hurried to another experimental area.
• Huo Yuhao joined Qian Daoliu, Snow Empress, Ice Empress, and Electrolux, while the Snow Empress and Ice Empress revealed their restored forms.
• Electrolux created an isolation barrier and announced that the procedure was beginning.

Electrolux used Huo Yuhao’s Mental Power to fuse the Snow Empress’s power with the Ice Empress Soul Ring. The fusion created a powerful new Soul Ring and began transforming Huo Yuhao’s torso bone as he absorbed the Snow Empress’s remaining Origin Power.

• Electrolux summoned an ornate golden Staff and began a ritual to stabilize the Snow Empress’s Origin Power.
• Electrolux compressed the Snow Empress into a Soul Sphere and linked her power to Huo Yuhao’s Ice Empress Soul Ring.
• The Snow Empress’s and Ice Empress’s powers merged, adding ten golden patterns and transforming Huo Yuhao’s Second Soul Ring into a Million Year Soul Ring.
• Huo Yuhao began absorbing the new Soul Ring while the Snow Empress’s excess Origin Power flowed into and upgraded his Ice Empress Torso Bone.
• Huo Yuhao’s torso bone and External Spinal Bone began turning gold and pale blue as sealed Origin Power steadily strengthened his body.

Huo Yuhao completed the fusion of the Ice and Snow Two Emperors’ Soul Ring and Soul Bone, reaching level fifty and gaining a second Million Year-level Soul Ring. Three days later, he brought Xuan Ziwen to a barren hilly region to demonstrate a Soul Tool that could compress Soul Power into a solid state, but distant thunder interrupted him.

• Huo Yuhao preserved Ice Empress’s Claw as a skill while the Ice and Snow Two Emperors’ Soul Ring and Soul Bone were inscribed with their abilities.
• The Ice and Snow Two Emperors merged into Huo Yuhao, whose aura rose to level fifty as he gained a fused Million Year Soul Ring.
• Huo Yuhao, Qian Daoliu, and Sky Dream Ice Silkworm joked about their plans and the revenge Sky Dream wanted against the Star Dou Forest.
• Three days later, Huo Yuhao took Xuan Ziwen north of Ming Capital to reveal a Soul Tool that compressed Soul Power into a solid state.
• Xuan Ziwen questioned Huo Yuhao’s claim, then both men heard distant thunder that made the ground tremble.
