Di Tian led a million soul beasts in an assault on Shrek City, confronting Xuan Zi and Du Busi while ordering the Titan Snow Demon King and Xiao Bai to return to the Far North. After they refused, the Beast Tide attacked, and Di Tian’s dark clouds swallowed Xuan Zi as Shrek’s defenders faced his overwhelming power.

• Di Tian confronted Xuan Zi and Du Busi, accused humans of hunting soul beasts, and vowed to destroy Shrek Academy and the Body Sect over an old grudge.

Di Tian overwhelmed Xuan Zi and Du Busi as the Beast Tide advanced on Shrek City, leaving its defenders facing the possible loss of their strongest protectors. Shi Xing rallied Shrek Academy and the Body Sect to prepare the city’s defenses, then ordered the first volley when the Soul Beasts entered firing range.

• Di Tian fought Xuan Zi and Du Busi at once and kept them at a disadvantage, while Huo Yuhao feared no one in Shrek City could stop him.
• Shi Xing broke the defenders’ despair by ordering them to prepare the city walls and charge their Soul Guidance weapons.
• Shrek’s Inner Court students and the Body Sect experts took positions as more than a hundred Level Six Soul Guidance Cannons were readied.
• The Beast Tide surged within five kilometers of Shrek City, and Shi Xing waited until the thousand-year Soul Beasts entered the Zhuge Divine Crossbow Cannons’ range.
• Shi Xing shouted “Fire,” and nearly two thousand red streaks blasted toward the Beast Tide.

Shrek City’s Zhuge Divine Crossbow Cannons devastated the Beast Tide with two volleys, killing and injuring vast numbers of low-level Soul Beasts. The second bombardment reached beyond five kilometers, and the attack was still ravaging the battlefield.

• The Zhuge Divine Crossbow Cannons fired adhesive fire-oil and fragmentation shells into the packed vanguard, igniting Soul Beasts and scattering the Beast Tide.
• Shi Xing ordered the cannons reloaded for a second round as Shrek’s soldiers regained confidence while watching Soul Rings rise over the battlefield.

• The second bombardment killed most Ten-Year and Hundred-Year Soul Beasts it struck and wounded many Thousand-Year Soul Beasts.

Huo Yuhao’s plan to expend Shrek Academy’s stockpiled low-level shells helped repel the Beast Tide’s vanguard and gave Shrek’s defenders a brief reprieve. The soul beasts remained dangerous because Di Tian and the other Beasts could turn the tide, while the Zhuge Divine Crossbow Cannons cooled before firing again.

• Shi Xing halted further firing so the Zhuge Divine Crossbow Cannons could cool and avoid overheating.

Emerald Swan Bi Ji healed the injured Soul Beasts and confronted Old Song, explaining that human weapons threatened their survival. Though Old Song tried to negotiate, Bi Ji launched a renewed assault and declared that Shrek’s defenders and a particular human benefactor had to die.

• Shi Xing ordered the Zhuge Divine Crossbow Cannons to fire, while Bi Ji spread her wings to shield the advancing vanguard.
• Bi Ji told Old Song that the Star Dou Forest was in the wrong but that Shrek’s defenders and the human benefactor must die.

• Old Song attacked Bi Ji again, but Di Tian’s Purple Light intercepted his azure blade while Bi Ji’s injuries rapidly healed.
• Di Tian’s distraction let Du Busi and Xuan Zi land attacks and gain a few seconds to recover, though both knew they could not hold him for much longer.

• Bi Ji ignored Old Song’s harassment and cast a large-scale healing ability over the horde, while Old Song wounded her shoulder and nearly struck her throat.

Shrek City’s artillery and Rotary Cannons slaughtered wave after wave of the Beast Tide, while the Beasts and Shrek’s strongest fighters held back from committing fully. The chapter left the city’s defenders encouraged by their weapons’ effectiveness as Xuan Ziwen watched the battle and approved of the defenses.

• Old Song evaded the four Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts guarding Bi Ji and returned to Shrek City’s walls, where Bi Ji healed the Beast Tide’s wounded.
• Xuan Zi and Du Busi continued conserving their strength as Di Tian held them at bay, while the other Beasts and Shrek’s Super Douluos waited to act.

As the beast tide retreated, Old Song and the defenders unleashed a drone array and anti-air guns against the flying Soul Beasts, then sprayed deadly Jade Scale Nine Absolutes Flower venom beneath Shrek City’s walls. The poisonous cloud devastated the beasts and left Bi Ji horrified by the return of a venomous plant Soul Beast thought to have been exterminated.

• Old Song contacted Xuan Ziwen, who announced that the drone array was taking off and ordered the Tight-Backed Flower Piercing Cannons to prepare.
• Tens of thousands of Soul Guidance Rotorcraft rose over Shrek City and moved beyond the walls as the Soul Beasts tried to attack them.
• Shi Xing ordered the Tight-Backed Flower Piercing Cannons to fire, and the guns and rotary cannons killed nearly half of the flying Soul Beasts.
• Ma Xiao Tao appeared on the walls and ordered the drones to spray dark green liquid onto the battlefield below.
• Du Busi and Xuan Zi saw the liquid form a poisonous cloud that corroded Soul Beast corpses and rare metal, while Bi Ji recognized it as Jade Scale Nine Absolutes Flower venom.

Bi Ji tried to drive the Jade Scale Nine Senses Poison cloud into Shrek City, but Xian Lin Er and Ma Xiao Tao stopped it with wind, fire, and the Qiluo Heart. The poison devastated the Soul Beast army, forcing Bi Ji to withdraw ten kilometers while Shrek’s defenders rested.

• Bi Ji used her wings to send the poison cloud toward Shrek City, but Xian Lin Er met her gusts with Azure Flame Dragon flames.

• At dusk, the Star Dou Great Forest launched a second assault under cover of darkness, and Old Song weakened Bi Ji’s support abilities.
• The Soul Beasts coordinated ranged and close-combat attacks, forcing Shrek’s defenders to spend more Soul Power and leaving soldiers wounded or dead.
• Shrek’s Inner Court students and Titled Douluos took turns attacking until the Beast Tide withdrew at dawn, after more than three hundred defenders were killed or wounded and at least twenty thousand Soul Beasts had died.
• The Drone Array cleared the Soul Beast remains, while Bi Ji watched helplessly as the Bilin Nine Absolute Poisons and Silk Velvet Gold Heart corroded them.

Shrek City’s defenders struggled with exhaustion and dwindling supplies after fighting off the first Beast Tide assault, while the city’s civilians and merchants helped replenish them. Meanwhile, autogyros embedded crystal plates into the Spirit Pagoda, which began gathering light toward its tip.

• Bi Ji surveyed the devastated battlefield outside Shrek City and feared how powerful the humans had become.
• Shi Xing reviewed the battle’s heavy resource consumption as exhausted defenders rested and replenished their Soul Power.
• Shrek’s leaders assessed the remaining Beasts and the limited help arriving from the Three Great Empires.
• Civilians, merchants, and trading companies supplied food, water, and help recharging Milk Bottles while the Spirit Pagoda ceased production.
• Autogyros embedded crystal plates across the Spirit Pagoda, and dawn light refracted through them and converged at the tower’s tip.

Shi Xing prepared for another Beast Tide assault as exhausted Shrek defenders struggled to recover. The Soul Hall took over the defense, deploying All-Terrain Self-Propelled Turrets and dragging the Spirit Pagoda toward the city while the approaching Soul Beasts watched without sensing danger.

• Shi Xing judged that Shrek could defeat the Beast Tide if it kept up the same pace, but feared Di Tian and a coordinated assault by powerful Soul Beasts.
• The Beast Tide returned barely two hours after its previous attack, leaving Shrek's Soul Masters and soldiers badly depleted.
• Na Na offered to have the Soul Hall defend the next wave, and Xian Lin Er backed her request so the exhausted defenders could rest.
• Xuan Ziwen ordered the All-Terrain Self-Propelled Turrets to charge their main cannons and revealed that the Spirit Pagoda was being hauled through the air by thousands of autogyros and metal cables.
• The Six-Winged Magic Tiger saw the strange weapons and airborne tower but felt no danger from them.

As the Soul Beast army and its air force approached Shrek City, Xuan Ziwen prepared a linked cannon attack while Wang Dong'er emerged to absorb its gathered energy. The chapter left the city’s defense poised for the first clash.

• Shi Xing urged Xian Lin Er to request reinforcements as the Soul Beast army and Six-Winged Magic Tiger neared Shrek City, but Xian Lin Er told him to wait.
• Xuan Ziwen ordered the sixty main cannons to link their fire through the Spirit Pagoda’s six functional corners, gathering a massive red sphere of energy.
• Wang Dong'er appeared above the city wall with her Light Goddess Butterfly wings and remarked that she wished Yu Hao were there.
• Wang Dong'er rose to the Spirit Pagoda’s height, and the red sphere shot into her wings and was absorbed.

Wang Dong'er unleashed Xuan Ziwen’s enhanced Condensed Light, destroying the airborne soul beast force and killing the Exploding Fire Dragon. Exhausted, she was caught by Ma Xiao Tao as the Beast Tide faltered in fear.

• Wang Dong'er fired two red beams that pierced the Six-Winged Magic Tiger and swept through the airborne force, killing more than two-thirds of its soul beasts.
• Wang Dong'er redirected the lasers downward and pierced the Exploding Fire Dragon’s head, killing the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast.
• The Beast Tide’s prepared long-range attackers froze instead of attacking, while Shi Xing watched in shock.
• Wang Dong'er lost consciousness as her Martial Soul Avatar dispersed, and Ma Xiao Tao caught her in midair.
• Inside the Spirit Pagoda, Qian Daoliu reflected on the power of Xuan Ziwen’s Artificial Sun and human Soul Guidance lasers.

Soul Hall’s All-Terrain Self-Propelled Turrets devastated the Beast Tide and forced Scarlet King to retreat. Xuan Ziwen and the turrets then collected the fallen soul beasts’ Soul Rings and Soul Bones.

• Scarlet King stopped his charge when the turrets aimed their cannons again, then ordered the soul beast army to retreat.
• Xuan Ziwen ordered the turrets to collect Soul Rings from the battlefield as they descended from Shrek City's walls.
• The turrets absorbed purple and black Soul Rings, while Xuan Ziwen collected the One Hundred Thousand Year Soul Rings and Soul Bones left by the Six-Winged Magic Tiger and the Exploding Fire Dragon.

After the Soul Hall returned from the Beast Tide with Soul Rings and demonstrated its All-Terrain Self-Propelled Turrets, Xuan Ziwen explained how the rings could be made ownerless and sold to fund Shrek's Rare Metal needs. Shi Xing and Xian Lin Er arranged to claim rings for the academy and city defense army, while the Soul Hall prepared to sell the rest at the Spirit Transfer Pagoda's opening ceremony.

• Shi Xing watched the All-Terrain Self-Propelled Turrets scale the city walls and asked what the collected Soul Rings were for.
• Xuan Ziwen explained that the Soul Hall could erase imprints from Soul Rings, turn them into ownerless rings, and sell them to obtain Rare Metals.
• Xian Lin Er confirmed that Shrek's Rare Metal reserves were nearly depleted and said the Soul Hall would provide the academy with one hundred turrets.
• Xuan Ziwen said the two One Hundred Thousand Year Soul Rings belonged to the academy after basic research, while the Soul Bones were reserved for Yuhao.
• Xuan Ziwen invited Shi Xing and Xian Lin Er to choose Soul Rings for the academy and city defense army before the remaining rings were sold to attending factions.
• Shi Xing immediately claimed that the academy and city defense army needed the Thousand Year and Ten Thousand Year Soul Rings.
