• Tang Hao unleashed his killing intent and summoned the Clear Sky Hammer as Ye Xinyu and Lingyuan braced for his attack.
• Ye Xinyu challenged Tang Hao to use Ring Detonation, but he began fusing his soul rings into the hammer and vowed to send her to meet her father.

Vladimir rescued Flender and Ma Hongjun from Tang Hao, then took them and the others to a primordial forest. Lingyuan Douluo confirmed that Tang Hao had killed Ye Xinyu’s father, leaving Ye Xinyu to reconsider her guilt over killing Tang San.

• Tang Hao attacked Ye Xinyu, Lingyuan Douluo, and Ning Rongrong with his Clear Sky Hammer, but the strike hit no one.

• In a primordial forest, Ye Xinyu pressed Lingyuan Douluo to confirm whether Tang Hao had killed her father.
• Lingyuan Douluo confirmed that Tang Hao had more or less killed Ye Xinyu’s father, and Ye Xinyu felt less guilty about killing Tang San.

Ye Xinyu weighed her lack of attachment to Tang Hao against her feelings for her mother, then assessed how Lingyuan and Ning Rongrong could fight a weakened Tang Hao. She planned to wait for the attack’s aftershocks to fade before helping Lingyuan launch a surprise strike.

• Ye Xinyu rejected Lingyuan’s suggestion to hide until Tang Hao left, reasoning that the Great Sumeru Hammer had left him badly weakened.
• Ye Xinyu asked Lingyuan whether she could defeat Tang Hao with Ning Rongrong’s support, and Lingyuan estimated their chances at thirty percent with Rongrong and seventy percent with Ye Xinyu.
• Ning Rongrong boasted about her Seven Treasure Glazed Pagoda, but Lingyuan explained why Ye Xinyu’s enhancements were more powerful.
• Ning Rongrong accused Ye Xinyu of hiding that she was a Support-type Soul Master, and Ye Xinyu explained that her Martial Soul had unusual support skills while still giving her strong attributes.

Ye Xinyu learned that a powerful Soul Beast had emerged in her martial-soul world, where time passed far faster than outside. The creature recognized her as the person who had abandoned it there thousands of years ago, and Ye Xinyu realized it was the hen she had once thrown into the space.

• The woman declared that she had become a phoenix and angrily told Ye Xinyu to get lost.

Ye Xinyu agreed to help a phoenix Soul Beast leave the forest in exchange for its help killing the injured Tang Hao. She promised Lingyuan the Soul Bones Tang Hao carried, while insisting their plan remain secret.

• Ye Xinyu learned that a black tiger at least three hundred thousand years old was devouring Soul Beasts and had marked the phoenix, who wanted to escape the forest.
• Ye Xinyu agreed to take the phoenix outside on the conditions that she refrain from killing people indiscriminately and help kill a seriously injured level-95 Titled Douluo.
• The phoenix explained that swallowing a blackish-brown stone had evolved her bloodline, and that Yuanfeng had taught her a Phoenix Clan Cultivation Technique.
• Lingyuan warned Ye Xinyu that the phoenix was a valuable Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, but Ye Xinyu said they needed to focus on Tang Hao.
• Ye Xinyu promised Lingyuan her choice of Tang Hao's Soul Bones after his death and told her to keep the plan secret.

Ning Rongrong realized the scale of Spirit Hall’s secret and agreed to pass its offer to her father, while Fire Phoenix chose the name Flame Spirit Empress. The group confronted Tang Hao, and Fire Phoenix revealed her fiery form as the fight began.

Fire Phoenix defeated Tang Hao but prepared to leave before Vladimir, a level 96 Titled Douluo from the City of Slaughter, threatened Ye Xinyu and the others. Ye Xinyu tried to recruit Fire Phoenix, but Dugu Bo appeared to confront Spirit Hall over its theft of his medicinal herbs, and Fire Phoenix flew away.

• Tang Hao tried to persuade Fire Phoenix to turn against Spirit Hall, but she rejected his argument and attacked him.
• Fire Phoenix and Tang Hao clashed, leaving Tang Hao badly burned and bleeding while she suffered only a minor injury.
• Vladimir appeared and announced that he intended to seize Ye Xinyu, Ning Rongrong, Lingyuan, and Fire Phoenix.
• Lingyuan warned Vladimir that attacking Ye Xinyu would make him an enemy of Spirit Hall, while Ye Xinyu offered Fire Phoenix protection in exchange for help.
• Dugu Bo appeared and challenged Spirit Hall over the herbs it had taken from his medicinal garden, and Fire Phoenix vanished into the distance.

Ye Xinyu faced Dugu Bo and Vladimir after Tang Hao was defeated, and Dugu Bo offered to help her in exchange for treating Dugu Yan. Just as Dugu Bo and Ye Xinyu prepared to confront Vladimir, Tang Hao rose and began healing with the power of a green soul bone.

• Dugu Bo accused Ye Xinyu's older sister of raiding his herb garden, leaving Ye Xinyu wondering whether she had a sister.
• Lingyuan Douluo prepared to fight, but Dugu Bo said he had no intention of attacking Ye Xinyu.
• Dugu Bo offered to help Ye Xinyu if she agreed to detoxify Dugu Yan and provide her with a suitable immortal herb.
• Ye Xinyu accepted, while warning that she could not guarantee Spirit Hall would provide a soul bone or that an immortal herb remained available.
• Dugu Bo warned Vladimir that their combined abilities gave them the advantage, but Vladimir called out to Tang Hao, who stood up and began healing with green radiance from his right leg.

Tang Hao and Vladimir clashed while Lingyuan revealed herself as a Titled Douluo protecting Ye Xinyu, but Ye Xinyu escaped with her and Ning Rongrong into a spatial realm. There, Lingyuan refused to reveal Ye Xinyu’s mother’s identity, leaving the truth for Ye Xinyu to ask about when they returned.

• Tang Hao recovered his strength as Vladimir urged him to attack, then Vladimir unleashed his eighth Soul Skill, Blood Imprisonment, trapping Ye Xinyu and Ning Rongrong.
• Lingyuan revealed her Titled Douluo strength, transformed with Scarlet Kite True Body, and used Sky-Soaring Fire Feathers to weaken Vladimir’s blood net.
• Ye Xinyu regained her senses, learned Lingyuan was a Titled Douluo, and used her spatial ability to take Lingyuan and Ning Rongrong away despite Vladimir’s seal.
• Tang Hao questioned whether to kill Dugu Bo, while Vladimir revealed that Tang San had survived and was living as Tang Chuan at Flender’s academy.
• Inside the spatial realm, Ye Xinyu demanded answers from Lingyuan about her identity and mother, but Lingyuan told her to ask her mother when they returned.

Ye Xinyu realized that her mother was Bibi Dong and feared that revealing her identity could put her in danger, but before she could learn more, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger appeared and pursued her group. Lingyuan fled with Ye Xinyu and Ning Rongrong, while the tiger sprouted wings and took to the air behind them.

• Lingyuan told Ye Xinyu that Bibi Dong was protecting her, leading Ye Xinyu to realize that her mother was the Pope.
• Ye Xinyu worried that Qian Daoliu might kill her if he learned her identity, and Lingyuan said Bibi Dong would soon give her a proper status.
• A gigantic Dark Demon Evil God Tiger appeared, and Ye Xinyu suspected it was the beast they had captured in the Star Dou Great Forest.
• Lingyuan grabbed Ye Xinyu and Ning Rongrong and flew away from the tiger, while Ning Rongrong boosted their speed with her Seven Treasure Glazed Pagoda.
• The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger grew purple-black wings and began flying after them.

Lingyuan led Ning Rongrong and Ye Xinyu into a cave while fleeing the flying Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, and Ye Xinyu healed Lingyuan’s wounds before collapsing from exhaustion. Trapped with the beast outside, they discussed the possibility that time in this place could force them to remain hidden for years.

• The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger sprouted wings and took to the air, so Lingyuan sent Ning Rongrong and Ye Xinyu toward a cave while she drew it away.
• Ning Rongrong learned that Ye Xinyu was afraid of heights and could not fly, but Ye Xinyu used a punch’s recoil to land them safely on a tree branch.
• Lingyuan, badly wounded by the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, returned and carried them into the cave.
• Ye Xinyu used purple energy to heal Lingyuan’s wounds, then fell asleep after exhausting her Soul Power and mental strength.
• Lingyuan explained that the cave was sturdy and that they might need to hide for years if the beast stayed outside, while Ning Rongrong protested at the prospect.

Lingyuan tried to reassure Ning Rongrong that reinforcements would arrive, but a Fire Kirin emerged from the cave and fought the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger. After the tiger dragged them both away with its Evil God Hook, Ye Xinyu urged Lingyuan to collect the Fire Kirin’s blood before it was too late.

• Lingyuan warned Ning Rongrong that Tang Hao and his companions would be killed if they stayed, and said reinforcements would arrive within a day.

• Lingyuan tried to lead Ye Xinyu away, but Ye Xinyu urged her to collect the Fire Kirin’s blood for its healing and cultivation benefits.

Lingyuan Douluo sacrificed herself to protect Ye Xinyu from Tang Hao and Vladimir, while the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger forced Ye Xinyu and her companions to flee. With Lingyuan preparing to self-destruct, Ye Xinyu accepted the Rakshasa God's offer of power to save her.

• Lingyuan Douluo collected solidified droplets of Kirin Blood as the Fire Kirin escaped the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's space and returned to its cave.
• The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's blinded eye reopened, and Ye Xinyu and her companions escaped its attack; outside, Dugu Bo left while Tang Hao waited for them to emerge.

• Lingyuan shoved Ye Xinyu away and prepared to self-destruct, telling her to run toward Heaven Dou City.
• The Rakshasa God offered Ye Xinyu the power to save Lingyuan if she stopped resisting, and Ye Xinyu agreed to acknowledge the god.

Ye Xinyu transformed after accepting the Rakshasa God's power and stopped Lingyuan’s self-destruction, then trapped and weakened Tang Hao and Vladimir so Lingyuan could attack them. She reset their soul-skill cooldowns as the battle continued.

• As Lingyuan began to self-destruct, Ye Xinyu appeared behind her and calmed the surging energy.
• Ye Xinyu revealed her transformed, dark appearance and enclosed everyone within a silver barrier.
• Tang Hao attacked Ye Xinyu, but her third soul skill made Lingyuan incorporeal and her curses weakened Tang Hao and Vladimir.
• Ye Xinyu urged Lingyuan to take advantage of their weakened strength, and Lingyuan struck Tang Hao hard enough to send him flying.
• When Tang Hao and Vladimir began readying their soul skills, Ye Xinyu used her fourth soul skill to reset their cooldowns.

Ye Xinyu decided to let the Rakshasa God take control so they could kill Tang Hao and Vladimir before they escaped. As Tang Hao detonated his soul rings, the Rakshasa God manifested through Ye Xinyu and formed a deadly scythe, leaving the battle poised for a decisive strike.

• Vladimir urged Tang Hao to use Ring Detonation, arguing that Ye Xinyu could not keep draining their Soul Power and that reinforcements would soon arrive.

• The Rakshasa God took control of Ye Xinyu, summoned a towering phantom, and formed a black scythe as Vladimir stared in terror.

Ye Xinyu and Lingyuan drove Tang Hao and Vladimir away, but Ye Xinyu fled before Bibi Dong arrived. Bibi Dong pursued her and caught up just outside Sunset Forest.

• Ye Xinyu struck at Tang Hao and Vladimir with the Rakshasa Scythe, and Tang Hao sacrificed his Soul Rings to repel the attack as both men escaped, leaving behind a Right Arm Soul Bone.
• Lingyuan urged Ye Xinyu to rest and return with her, but Ye Xinyu refused because she wanted to remove the Rakshasa Curse Mark before facing Bibi Dong.
• Bibi Dong arrived, gave Lingyuan the Soul Bone, and ordered her to take Ning Rongrong back while she pursued Ye Xinyu.
• Lingyuan told Ning Rongrong that Bibi Dong was the Pope and Ru Yan's mother, and Ning Rongrong wondered whether Spirit Hall could offer her sect an alliance.
• Ye Xinyu left Sunset Forest, but Bibi Dong appeared behind her and asked why she had stopped running.

Ye Xinyu reunited with Bibi Dong, who agreed to take her to the City of Slaughter. Several days later, Vladimir arrived near Suotuo City with Tang Hao and revealed his plans for Shrek Academy and the City of Slaughter.

• Ye Xinyu hesitated to embrace Bibi Dong, then refused to return home until she had visited the City of Slaughter to obtain the Rakshasa Scythe.
• Bibi Dong agreed to take Ye Xinyu to the City of Slaughter and advised her to choose an attack-type soul ring next.
• Several days later, Vladimir reached Suotuo City with Tang Hao, who refused to return to the City of Slaughter and wanted to see his son.
• Vladimir told Tang Hao that Tang San had awakened a third, ultimate-ice Martial Soul and explained that Flender helped him establish Shrek Academy to recruit geniuses for the City of Slaughter.

After Tang Hao brought Flender and the others a warning to leave Shrek Academy, Tang San revealed himself and proposed taking refuge in Heaven Dou City by turning Spirit Hall’s suspicions about Liu Ruyan against her. Vladimir agreed that the empire might use the dispute to trouble Spirit Hall, though he warned that it depended on Spirit Hall to keep the two great empires from war.

Tang Hao sent Tang San to the City of Slaughter to gain a domain, gave him Ah Yin’s soul bone, and urged him to obtain Xiao Wu’s soul ring, but left the decision about Xiao Wu to his son. Meanwhile, Bibi Dong and Ye Xinyu reached a desolate town, where Ye Xinyu resolved to face danger and grow stronger.

• Tang Hao told Tang San to leave for the City of Slaughter and explained that its hundred-win reward was a domain that could help counter powerful opponents.
• Tang Hao gave Tang San the soul bone Ah Yin had left behind and said it would help him reach level fifty and withstand a hundred-thousand-year soul ring.
