• The figure struck Tang Yin, causing his body to explode, then restored him with blue-gold light as Tang San watched from above.

• Tang San told Ning Rongrong that another group of guests might arrive at the Valley of Asking Love and asked her to receive them.
• Tang Yin collapsed unconscious, then woke to learn that the True Heart Adventure had been suspended and that he had passed the special trial of unyielding will, activating the Sea God's Nine Trials.

• Tang Yin used his God-Bestowed Soul Ring at his soul power bottleneck and tried to endure a hundred-thousand-year soul ring as his seventh.
• Tang San judged Tang Yin’s chances grim, while Ning Rongrong watched anxiously as Tang Yin bled but continued resisting the soul ring’s pressure.
• The God of Destruction discovered that Tang San had used the Valley of Asking Love’s healing mechanism to aid Tang Yin, then chose to wait rather than confront Tang San.

The Life Goddess and the God of Destruction discussed Huo Yuhao’s talent and considered how to draw him into their side, while Huo Yuhao stayed wary of divine attention. In Ming Capital, the extermination of the Holy Spirit Cult advanced smoothly, and Mu En defeated Long Xiaoyao after their prolonged battle.

• The God of Destruction told the Life Goddess about Tang Yin and Tang San’s interference, and she explained that Huo Yuhao had once resonated with her divine position through Spirit Forging.
• The God of Destruction suggested that the Life Goddess consider Huo Yuhao as a potential inheritor or recruit, and she considered discussing inheritance with Rong Nianbing.

• Mu En overwhelmed Long Xiaoyao in their duel, and Huo Yuhao stopped the live broadcast after Long Xiaoyao crashed into a crater.
• Mu En urged Long Xiaoyao to abandon the Holy Spirit Sect and argued that Evil Soul Masters could be given a place in a future order led by the Spirit Pagoda.
• Long Xiaoyao defended Evil Soul Masters, but Mu En challenged his excuses and confronted him about Ye Xishui's manipulation and her refusal to leave the sect.
• Long Xiaoyao reconsidered whether Ye Xishui truly loved him and resolved to ask her directly once he recovered.
• Mu En told Long Xiaoyao that Ye Xishui was under siege in the west, where Kong Mingde had mobilized Sun Moon Empire Soul Tool Masters against her.

Ye Xishui was surrounded by the Sun Moon Empire’s Soul Tool Master Corps while Huo Yuhao’s plan dismantled the Holy Spirit Cult in Ming Capital. The Corps’ bombardment failed to threaten Ye Xishui, and she prepared to face the reinforcements as Huo Yuhao awaited the next stage of his plan.

• Ye Xishui confronted Xu Tianyuan outside Ming Capital and agreed to wait briefly while he relayed her warning to Xu Tianran.
• After receiving Elder Kong’s order to hold Ye Xishui back, Xu Tianyuan led the Imperial Dragon Soul Tool Master Corps in an attack.
• Ye Xishui’s blood mist swallowed the Corps’ bombardment, leaving Xu Tianyuan and the gathered Soul Tool Masters facing a Limit Douluo they could not easily harm.

• Xiong Jun brought the grievously injured Xuan Zi to the Red Dust Hotel, where Mu En stabilized him and Jing Hongchen joined the assembled experts.
• The Judgment meeting began, and Di Tian pressured Xuan Zi to answer for his attack on the Sun Moon Armory and the near-disaster it caused.
• Jing Hongchen suggested that a Holy Spirit Cult member might have influenced Xuan Zi, and Xuan Zi seized the chance to blame Ye Xishui and claim she had threatened his disciple Tang Yin.
• Long Xiaoyao challenged Xuan Zi's story, while Xuan Zi insisted that he alone should bear responsibility and Tang Yin was innocent.
• Mu En said that Xuan Zi had repeatedly committed grave mistakes and that his own failure to restrain him had been a dereliction of duty.

Mu En sentenced Xuan Zi to fifty years of labor reform, and Huo Yuhao exposed his suspicions about Tang Yin before using Spiritual Power to make Xuan Zi recount what happened after they left Ming Capital. Xuan Zi revealed that he and Tang Yin had entered the Valley of Asking Love, leaving the assembled powers questioning the nature of Tang Yin’s divine examination.

• Mu En condemned Xuan Zi’s repeated negligence and sentenced him to fifty years of labor reform with all his personal property confiscated.
• Xuan Zi blamed his martial soul’s flaw and secretly decided that he would eventually prove himself right and return to Shrek’s favor.
• Huo Yuhao suspected Tang Yin was involved in the armory incident and deduced that he had gone to the Valley of Asking Love.
• Huo Yuhao objected to ending the judgment meeting and asked where Tang Yin had gone, pointing out that Tang Yin’s injuries had healed unusually quickly.
• Huo Yuhao used his Spiritual Power to control Xuan Zi, who recounted how he and Tang Yin entered the Valley of Asking Love and revealed details of Tang Yin’s adventure.

Huo Yuhao exposed the Valley of Asking Love as a dangerous domain controlled by Ning Rongrong and planned to use the God Realm’s response to challenge Tang San’s influence. Elsewhere, Ye Xishui turned the Sun Moon Empire’s assault into a one-sided slaughter, leaving its Soul Tool Masters to hold out for Elder Kong.

• Huo Yuhao explained that the Valley of Asking Love was a perilous small world where Ning Rongrong controlled the trials and could decide entrants’ fates.
• Huo Yuhao warned the Titled Douluo not to enter the valley and considered using his connection to the God Realm Core to seek a divine inheritance and provoke conflict between Tang San and Destruction.
• Ye Xishui ambushed Xu Tianyuan, shattered his ninth-level defensive Soul Tool, and killed him with her blood claw.
• Ye Xishui refined Xu Tianyuan’s corpse into blood mist and slaughtered the Imperial Dragon Soul Tool Master Corps, using their attacks to strengthen the mist.
• The remaining Ninth-level Soul Tool Masters formed a defensive formation and tried to hold out until Elder Kong arrived.

Kong Deming and the Sun Moon Empire’s Soul Tool Masters tried to kill Ye Xishui with an overwhelming encirclement, but her blood arts and substitute blood souls let her survive their strongest attacks. As she continued slaughtering the Ninth-level Soul Tool Masters, Kong Deming called out to Yuhao for help.

• Ye Xishui unleashed her Blood Soul Demonic Puppet as Kong Deming arrived with the Sun Moon Royal Soul Tool Master Corps, the Imperial Worship Hall, and four High-Energy Compression Array Soul Tools to trap her.
• Kong Deming accused the Holy Spirit Cult of plotting against the Empire and vowed to destroy it, while Ye Xishui threatened to destroy one city each month if she escaped.
• Ye Xishui released twelve blood souls and transformed with her Martial Soul Avatar, then used Boundless Blood Sea to melt the inner Soul Tool Master Corps.
• Kong Deming and the Soul Tool Masters bombarded Ye Xishui with the array and their coordinated attacks, but she used a blood soul to survive the black beam and drained a Ninth-level Soul Tool Master.
• As Ye Xishui continued killing the Empire’s Ninth-level Soul Tool Masters and resisted another array attack, Kong Deming shouted, “Yuhao, save me!!”

Kong Deming’s forces struggled against Ye Xishui’s Blood Soul Art until Ye Guyi arrived and overwhelmed the evil soul master with her angel powers. As Ye Xishui tried to escape, Ye Guyi used Angel Domain to seal the space and trap her.

• Kong Deming ordered his soul tool masters to form linked defenses and called for reinforcements after Ye Xishui’s Blood Souls made their attacks ineffective.
• Ye Xishui prepared to leave the battlefield, but Ye Guyi descended with the Angel Sacred Sword and revealed her powerful Six-Winged Angel martial soul and four Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Rings.
• Ye Guyi activated Angel True Body and Angel God's Descent, revealing twelve golden wings, then clashed with Ye Xishui’s enlarged Blood Soul Demonic Puppet.
• Kong Deming evacuated his soul tool masters from the clash’s shockwaves while Ye Guyi pressed her attack, forcing Ye Xishui to consume Blood Souls and seek escape.
• Ye Xishui attempted to flee through space, but Ye Guyi used Angel Domain to flood the battlefield with sacred light and seal spatial movement.

Ye Guyi defeated Ye Xishui after Ye Xishui unleashed the power of tens of thousands of vengeful souls, but Huo Yuhao arrived in time to capture Ye Xishui’s surviving soul as it tried to escape. He planned to bring her back to answer for her crimes and find a way to make her repay them.

• Ye Guyi advanced to Titled Douluo and drove Ye Xishui back, stunning Kong Deming and the watching Soul Tool Masters.
• Ye Xishui absorbed her blood souls, exceeded the Limit Douluo realm, and attacked Ye Guyi with the Blood Sea Vengeful Spirit Spear.
• Ye Guyi survived the spear with Angel’s Protection, activated the divine-level Angel Domain, and killed Ye Xishui with Death Angel.
• Ye Xishui’s body was destroyed, but she tried to escape as a Light Phoenix soul, and Huo Yuhao appeared and imprisoned her.
• Huo Yuhao decided to take Ye Xishui back to face Mu En and the others, then make her and Long Xiaoyao answer for their crimes.

After Ye Xishui’s defeat, Huo Yuhao left her fate to the Spirit Pagoda while Mu En tried to persuade Long Xiaoyao to abandon his obsession with her. Ye Xishui arrived to face judgment and hinted that she and Long Xiaoyao could still spend their final days together, but then admitted that she had manipulated him and Mu En for years.

• Huo Yuhao returned home with Ye Guyi after telling Kong Deming to restore order in Ming Capital, and he chose to delay unifying the continent while guarding against Tang San.

• Huo Yuhao brought the captured Ye Xishui to Mu En and Long Xiaoyao, where she accepted that the Spirit Pagoda would judge her and said she was glad to face the end of life with Long Xiaoyao.
• Ye Xishui called Long Xiaoyao and Mu En fools who had been in the palm of her hand, while Huo Yuhao doubted Long Xiaoyao’s version of the truth about Old Ghost Zhong Li.

Ye Xishui tried to win Long Xiaoyao and Mu En’s sympathy by explaining her past, but Huo Yuhao and Mu En saw through her self-serving story. Mu En exposed that she had chosen to remain an evil soul master, leaving Ye Xishui furious as her facade collapsed.

• Ye Xishui claimed she had always loved Long Xiaoyao and had arranged the conflict between him and Mu En to protect them from the Holy Spirit Cult.
• Long Xiaoyao believed Ye Xishui’s account and urged her to turn from evil, while Mu En and Huo Yuhao noticed inconsistencies in her explanation.

• Mu En accused Ye Xishui of choosing evil and exploiting Long Xiaoyao, shattering her facade and driving her into a rage.

• Ye Xishui admitted that she had deceived Long Xiaoyao and blamed him for failing to stop her descent into evil, leaving him devastated.
• Mu En sealed Long Xiaoyao's Soul Power and left, while Huo Yuhao bound Ye Xishui and took both of them through the Undead Gate to separate cells.

• Huo Yuhao entered the Evil Demon Forest with Tian Meng, who gathered her courage and called on the Evil Emperor to come out and fight.

Huo Yuhao and Tian Meng confronted the Evil Emperor in Evil Demon Forest, where Tian Meng showed off her million-year strength and fought off his attacks with Huo Yuhao’s support.

• The Evil Emperor tried to absorb Tian Meng, so Huo Yuhao supported her as she struck him with a time-space Soul Shockwave.
• The Evil Emperor became eager to seize Tian Meng’s time-space power and began preparing a blue-aura technique he had used to wound Di Tian.

Tian Meng survived the Evil Emperor’s Light of Space-Time by reflecting it back with her Life Reflection Shield, while Huo Yuhao restored her with Fleeting Life Like a Dream. The defeated Evil Emperor learned about the Soul Spirit Contract and submitted to Huo Yuhao, fearing resistance would turn him into a Spirit Ring.

• The Evil Emperor used Light of Space-Time to trap Tian Meng and launch a devastating attack, while Huo Yuhao reassured her that he could restore her if she fell.

• Tian Meng called Huo Yuhao forward, and he dispelled his Simulation Soul Skill and subdued the Evil Emperor with his Time-Space Domain.
• Huo Yuhao and Tian Meng told the Evil Emperor about the Soul Spirit Contract, and he chose to listen rather than risk becoming a Spirit Ring.
