At Level 99, Huo Yuhao supplied Bear Lord with enough power to reach the ultimate realm, and the two fought Ye Xishui and Long Xiaoyao. Bear Lord severely damaged Long Xiaoyao’s Martial Soul Avatar, while Ye Xishui withdrew, shaken by Huo Yuhao’s strength.

Huo Yuhao defeated Long Xiaoyao and exposed the scheme to save Ye Xishui, then restored both of them enough to face judgment for their crimes. The chapter ended with Huo Yuhao condemning Long Xiaoyao for helping Ye Xishui commit evil.

Huo Yuhao explained that Mu En had seen through Ye Xishui’s schemes and had let Long Xiaoyao believe a false story to spare him pain. Long Xiaoyao learned that Mu En had died but could return, then asked Huo Yuhao about a fragment containing powerful Light Power.

• Long Xiaoyao admitted that his suffering had been his own doing, and Huo Yuhao challenged his claim that he had had no choice.
• Huo Yuhao revealed that Mu En had long known the truth about Ye Xishui’s supposed suicide and her plan to control Long Xiaoyao and Mu En.

• Huo Yuhao told Long Xiaoyao that Mu En could speak with him in a few days, despite having died.
• Long Xiaoyao asked Huo Yuhao about a fragment Mu En had given him that contained powerful Light Power.

Huo Yuhao recognized Long Xiaoyao’s fragment as a divine weapon shard and connected it to a fragment Mu En had once given him. The shard’s history raised questions about the origins of Slaughter City and the conflict between the Angel and Rakshasa gods, leaving Huo Yuhao suspicious of Tang San’s account.

• Huo Yuhao recalled how the fragment from Shrek's Treasure Pavilion had triggered his martial soul’s evolution and identified it as an Angel Saint Sword Blade Fragment.
• Long Xiaoyao revealed a pitch-black Rakshasa Demon Scythe Blade Fragment, and Huo Yuhao read its history and destructive powers through the Eye of True Sight.

• Huo Yuhao questioned the accepted story that the Shura God created Slaughter City and wondered whether Tang San had concealed a darker history.

Huo Yuhao awakened the power within the Rakshasa Demon Scythe Fragment, evolving his Divine Slaughter's Domain and Second Martial Soul into Rakshasa's Eyes. After discovering the new eyes could perceive a person's vitality, soul, and weaknesses, he set aside the ancient mysteries and focused on the Sun Moon Empire and his planned Pacify Heaven Assembly.

• Huo Yuhao took the Rakshasa Demon Scythe Fragment, which drew out his Divine Slaughter's Domain and briefly formed a giant scythe.
• The fragment fused its power into Huo Yuhao, causing gray flames to engulf him and his Divine Slaughter's Domain to evolve into a blood-red Slaughter Domain.
• Long Xiaoyao found his Soul Power sealed by the evolved domain, so Huo Yuhao quickly withdrew it before it could harm him.
• Huo Yuhao's Second Martial Soul evolved, giving him dark-red vision that revealed Long Xiaoyao's body, vitality, soul, Mental Power, and weaknesses.
• Huo Yuhao recognized his evolved Second Martial Soul as Rakshasa's Eyes and turned his attention back to the Sun Moon Empire and the Pacify Heaven Assembly he planned to hold.

After the Demon Subjugation Assembly ended in a catastrophic battle, the Sun Moon Empire learned that its forces had been destroyed and the Holy Spirit Cult had gained the upper hand. The Evil Soul Masters celebrated their anticipated rise to power, while the empire’s officials concluded they had little choice but to submit.

• The High-Altitude Detection Soul Tools revealed that the assembly grounds were devastated, the Soul Engineer Legions were wiped out, and undead soldiers had scavenged the battlefield before vanishing underground.
• General Jiang learned from his adjutant that Zhao Yang had led the Undead Soldiers, Huo Yuhao might have been a fake, and the Holy Spirit Cult had likely taken Empress Ju Zi and eliminated Kong Deming.
• General Jiang and the adjutant concluded that the Sun Moon Empire had to submit to the Holy Spirit Cult or face destruction by both the cult and the other empires.
• Evil Soul Masters celebrated the Holy Spirit Cult’s victory and expected to take control of the Sun Moon Empire and receive cities where they could prey on citizens.
• The Evil Soul Masters recalled how the Shrek Inspection Group had hunted them down with improved Soul Tools and tactics, killing them as easily as stray dogs.

The Sun Moon Empire’s court and cities fell under the growing control of the Holy Spirit Cult, while news of Zhao Yang’s supposed victory over Huo Yuhao was used to celebrate the cult’s rise. Zhongli Wu announced a Pacify Heaven Assembly and an Undead Military Parade in the Ming Capital, drawing Evil Soul Masters from across the empire.

• Empress Ju Zi named Zhao Yang Duke of Liang and Crown Prince’s Grand Guardian, presenting his supposed redemption as a reward for helping defeat Huo Yuhao.
• The Holy Spirit Cult’s influence expanded as undead soldiers replaced the Ming Capital’s defense army and arrested residents and commanders who resisted or spread rumors.
• Zhongli Wu returned to court with a Frost Bone Dragon equipped with Ninth Level Soul Tools and announced the coming assembly and parade.
• The Holy Spirit Cult sent secret invitations to Evil Soul Masters across the empire, convincing them that its rise was real.
• Countless Evil Soul Masters began traveling to the Ming Capital to witness the Undead Military Parade.

The Holy Spirit Cult’s seizure and renaming of the Spirit Pagoda emboldened Evil Soul Masters, who interpreted Shrek Academy’s silence as weakness and flocked to Ming Capital for the Pacify Heaven Assembly. Inside the Demon Tower, Huo Yuhao reviewed his operation and checked its power supply and defenses as he prepared for what came next.

• The Holy Spirit Cult demolished the Hall of Supreme Harmony, placed the Spirit Pagoda on its ruins, and renamed it the Demon Tower, encouraging cautious Evil Soul Masters to believe Shrek would not retaliate.
• Shrek Academy remained silent, and Evil Soul Masters convinced themselves that it could not challenge the Holy Spirit Cult, so they rushed toward Ming Capital after receiving invitations to the Pacify Heaven Assembly.
• Huo Yuhao reviewed the Soul Hall’s intelligence with Na Na and learned that nearly all known unaffiliated Evil Soul Masters were converging on Ming Capital while High-Rank Undead Generals eliminated those who stayed away.
• Na Na reported that ten connected Soul Cores could supply Huo Yuhao with two to three units of Soul Power, and Huo Yuhao confirmed that they strengthened his domain.
• Huo Yuhao asked Na Na when the walls around Ming Capital’s Imperial City and Inner City would be completed.

Huo Yuhao ordered Na Na to strengthen the Imperial City's defenses and oversee public executions and compensation for victims of the Holy Spirit Cult. Na Na accepted the mission with fanatical devotion, while Huo Yuhao prepared to resolve the remaining political troubles.

• Na Na reported that the Undead Construction Team would soon finish rebuilding the city walls and that the captured Holy Spirit Cult leaders would be executed, except for Zhang Peng.
• Huo Yuhao ordered the walls reinforced to withstand a rank-89 Soul Douluo's strike empowered by a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone, with Anti-Air Magic Conches and defenses at least as strong as Shrek City's.
• Huo Yuhao assigned Xuan Zi to reinforce the ground and told Na Na to prepare live broadcasts and executions targeting Evil Soul Masters, pro-war Sun Moon Empire officials, and nobles tied to the Holy Spirit Cult.
• Huo Yuhao directed Na Na to use thirty percent of the proceeds for Soul Hall and the remainder to compensate families harmed by the Holy Spirit Cult, warning that executions alone would not solve the problem permanently.
• Na Na knelt and became Huo Yuhao's most devout believer, then vowed to carry out his orders perfectly.

Huo Yuhao’s forces isolated Ming Capital’s Inner City and Imperial City behind hundred-meter walls while Evil Soul Masters gathered in the city. The chapter ended as Undead Soldiers approached along Vermilion Bird Avenue, where the empire’s nobles and the cult’s followers awaited them.

• Outer City workers fled the Inner City, leaving its everyday operations paralyzed as Evil Soul Masters occupied its hotels.

• The empire’s families and thousands of Evil Soul Masters gathered along Vermilion Bird Avenue as the Soul Fires of approaching Undead Soldiers emerged through the mist.

The Holy Spirit Cult held an undead military parade along Vermilion Bird Avenue, where its Evil Soul Masters and Sun Moon nobles watched heavily armed Bone Dragons pass. The riders’ unexpected identities left the crowd guessing, and the chapter ended with Evil Soul Masters praising the Cult’s supposed support for its younger generation.

• Undead Guards lined Vermilion Bird Avenue and pushed the Evil Soul Masters and nobles to the roadside as the parade approached.
• The Frost Bone Dragon emerged from the fog carrying Zhao Yang, whose appearance puzzled the crowd until Evil Soul Masters decided his ride was a reward for merit.
• A Flame Bone Dragon followed, carrying an unfamiliar Black Veil Girl whose sharp gaze unsettled the spectators.
• Quick-witted Evil Soul Masters claimed the Black Veil Girl was Holy Maiden Xiao Tao and praised the Holy Spirit Cult for nurturing its youth.
• Evil Soul Masters who knew Ma Xiao Tao had been taken away stayed silent as the crowd continued praising the Cult.

Zhongli Wu led the Holy Spirit Cult’s parade into Ming Capital’s Imperial City atop a light-attributed undead Dragon, while the nobles outside waited in fear for their fate. At the Demon Tower, the Evil Soul Masters discovered that more than thirty notorious members of their own cult had been bound to Guillotines.

• A light-attributed undead Dragon appeared, shocking both the nobles and the Holy Spirit Cult’s followers, who had not known of such a creature.
• Zhongli Wu rode the Dragon through Vermilion Bird Avenue and ordered the Holy Spirit Cult’s members to follow him into the Imperial City to receive titles and rewards.
• After the undead parade ended, Undead Guards entered the Imperial City and blocked the nobles’ escape route.
• Evil Soul Masters followed the guards through the Imperial City toward the former Hall of Supreme Harmony, now called the Demon Tower.
• The Evil Soul Masters saw more than thirty notorious Holy Spirit Cult offerings and branch elders pinned to Guillotines and guarded by Abominations.

Na Na and Huo Yuhao exposed their staged takeover of the Sun Moon Empire and executed the Holy Spirit Cult’s leaders before the gathered Evil Soul Masters. Huo Yuhao trapped the cultists in the Imperial City, leaving them unable to use Soul Skills and their own Wraiths and Corpse Puppets beyond their control.

• Na Na ordered the Abominations to behead the thirty-seven Holy Spirit Cult Elders, then read their crimes aloud and burned their remains.
• Na Na said Xu Tianran and the royal family members, nobles, and officials who had promoted the war would be captured and judged, while she would deal with the Evil Soul Masters.
• Huo Yuhao revealed himself on the Light Bone Dragon and struck down an Evil Soul Master who had mistaken him for a boy.
• The Evil Soul Masters realized Huo Yuhao had staged the apparent conflict between the Holy Spirit Cult and the Sun Moon Empire, then panicked and tried to flee.
• Huo Yuhao unleashed rings of blood-red light that stopped the Evil Soul Masters from summoning their Soul Rings, and the Wraiths and Corpse Puppets they had refined began attacking them without obeying their former masters.

Huo Yuhao ended the undead creatures’ rampage, established Slaughter City as a brutal prison and gambling arena for Evil Soul Masters, and sent many of their victims’ spirits onward through purification. As Na Na explained the city’s rules and Soul Hall’s plans, Huo Yuhao discovered that two kinds of Power of Faith within him were beginning to react and be digested.

• Projector stalls across the continent revealed the crimes of the Evil Soul Master Elders and Imperial Venerables, and Huo Yuhao stopped the undead after they killed more than a thousand Evil Soul Masters.
• Huo Yuhao sent the satisfied undead creatures toward reincarnation and declared that the surviving Evil Soul Masters would face Slaughter City’s tortures, arena battles, and Battle Royale, with the proceeds compensating victims’ families.
• Huo Yuhao named the prison Slaughter City, purified many of the undead with Golden Flame, and received Power of Faith from across the Douluo Continent.
• Huo Yuhao sensed that the Power of Faith from his different deeds was reacting and beginning to be digested within him.
• Na Na told the Evil Soul Masters that they had three days to adapt, that Soul Skills were forbidden, and that Soul Hall and Shrek would capture and judge more Evil Soul Masters for the city.
• Na Na said verified Soul Masters who had not harmed anyone would be spared and could receive help through a dedicated Evil Soul Master Martial Soul Correction Fund.

Huo Yuhao used Soul Hall to take authority over defining Evil Soul Masters away from Shrek and planned a New Slaughter City and slaughterhouse system to redirect their cultivation and address the causes of evil. He left the project framed as a long-term solution that would change how the continent treated potential Evil Soul Masters.

• Huo Yuhao pardoned Zhang Peng and appointed him to manage slaughterhouses for Special Soul Masters, using his case to challenge Shrek’s standards for Evil Soul Masters.
• Huo Yuhao set Soul Hall’s criteria around whether a Soul Master deliberately killed people to cultivate, excluding those forced into violence by prejudice.
• Huo Yuhao planned to use Soul Hall’s refusal to recognize Shrek’s labels to force Shrek to surrender its authority over identifying Evil Soul Masters.
• Huo Yuhao proposed employing Special Soul Masters in slaughterhouses, providing them support and education, and sending them to Shrek at age twelve.
• Huo Yuhao argued that New Slaughter City could deter violence but that lasting change required reducing prejudice and guiding potential Evil Soul Masters toward other cultivation paths.

Huo Yuhao used the Ammonite-Sea God Workstation to establish a Slaughter Domain array suppressing magic in the imperial city and Inner City, then Zhao Yang confronted Xu Tianran in the palace. Xu Tianran tried to bargain for his life, but Zhao Yang explained that Huo Yuhao intended to separate Soul Masters from mortals across the Douluo Continent.

• Huo Yuhao carved a bat-shaped Core Array and installed it in the Ammonite-Sea God Workstation, creating a Slaughter Domain that suppressed magic in the imperial city and Inner City.
• Huo Yuhao arranged for undead creatures to guard the Demon Tower and considered restoring Long Xiaoyao so he could serve as its guardian.
