Chapter Summaries

Huo Yuhao entered the Angel God Temple with help from the Mother of All Souls and left a Spatial Link Anchor there before his Mental Power ran out. Meanwhile, Shrek exploited the Evil Emperor’s reprisals against Ming Capital to support the Star Luo Empire’s counteroffensive and began searching for Tang Ya.

Huo Yuhao weighed the strengths and limitations of Yin-Yang Complementary and Isotopic Resonance Dual Soul Cores before choosing Yin-Yang Complementary Dual Soul Cores to prioritize survival and immediate power. Xuan Zi agreed to guard him, and Huo Yuhao prepared to consult the people in his Sea of Spirit before condensing his Soul Core.

• Xuan Zi explained that Yin-Yang Complementary Dual Soul Cores could provide greater power than Isotopic Resonance but would likely prevent Huo Yuhao from forming a third Soul Core.

• The Snow Empress and Ice Empress drained the mental power from Huo Yuhao, leaving him weak as the soul power core trembled.

• The Sea God Douluo, secretly positioned behind the enemy formations, recalled his mission to capture Huo Yuhao and waited for the battle to create an opportunity.
