Chapter Summaries

The Slaughtering Angel stripped the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger of its inner core, marked it, and made it Bi Zihan’s mount. As Bi Zihan traveled toward the Star Dou Great Forest’s core region, he learned of a Jiaolong whose rapid growth seemed impossible given how recently he had returned it to the forest.

• The Slaughtering Angel took the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger’s inner core, branded it with a Slaughter Mark, and sent it out of the Spiritual Sea as her mount.
• The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger submitted to Bi Zihan after the mark inflicted agonizing pain whenever it considered attacking him.
• Bi Zihan accepted the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger as his mount and headed with it toward the core region of the Star Dou Great Forest.
• Bi Zihan asked the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger whether it had seen a Jiaolong, and the tiger described one in the mixed region that was nearing ten thousand years of cultivation.
• Bi Zihan wondered whether the rapidly growing Jiaolong could be the one he had returned to the Star Dou Great Forest eight years earlier.

Bi Zihan summoned his Jiaolong and chose it as his mount over the stronger Dark Demon Evil God Tiger because it looked more impressive. He then asked the tiger to find formidable-looking soul beasts at roughly the Soul Sage to Soul Douluo level, avoiding Gu Yuena’s hundred-thousand-year subordinates as he prepared to ask her for help.

• Bi Zihan summoned the Jiaolong from a river in the Star Dou Great Forest, and it flew to him.
• The Jiaolong complained about being sent away and nearly becoming prey, and Bi Zihan promised to take it home after handling his affairs.
• The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger argued that it was the better mount because it was stronger and had useful abilities, but Bi Zihan chose the Jiaolong for its appearance.
• Bi Zihan climbed onto the Jiaolong, and the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger joined them as they headed toward the forest’s core region.
• Bi Zihan asked the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger to find intimidating soul beasts at the Soul Sage to Soul Douluo level, explaining that he did not want to take Gu Yuena’s hundred-thousand-year subordinates.

Bi Zihan recruited Di Tian to help guard the Divine Temple and set out to find two powerful soul beasts for its gate. He reached the Radiant Lion King’s territory, where the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger admitted its injuries might prevent it from capturing the beast.

• The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger told Bi Zihan about the Radiant Lion King and Nether Thunder Leopard, and Bi Zihan chose to seek them out as gatekeepers.

• Bi Zihan left the Lake of Life with the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger and the Jiaolong to find the two soul beasts.
• The Radiant Lion King appeared in its territory, and Bi Zihan ordered the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger to capture it.
• The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger said it was too injured to be sure it could capture the Radiant Lion King.

Bi Zihan subdued the Radiant Lion King with his Contract of Hell and then traveled to the Nether Thunder Leopard’s territory to bind that beast as well. The Nether Thunder Leopard remained unconscious while Bi Zihan waited for it to wake.

• Bi Zihan knocked the Radiant Lion King unconscious and used his left arm bone’s Contract of Hell to bind it.
• The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger fetched a Golden Armored Bear, and Bi Zihan roasted a paw while the Jiaolong ate the rest.
• After the Radiant Lion King woke and submitted to Bi Zihan, the group traveled to the Nether Thunder Leopard’s territory.
• Bi Zihan knocked the Nether Thunder Leopard unconscious, successfully used the Contract of Hell, and waited for it to awaken.

Bi Zihan returned to Heaven Dou City with four soul beasts and gathered Heavenly Treasures and Earthly Treasures from the Cold Snow Auction House.

• The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger absorbed Evil Energy outside Bi Zihan’s room and recovered while its cultivation began to rise.
• Bi Zihan absorbed energy from the Inner Core, Divine Blood, and Evil Energy as the Book of the Gods appeared before him.

He reunited with Qian Renxue and Boye, explained how he acquired the four soul beasts, and learned that the Divine Temple site had been chosen north of Heaven Dou City.

• Bi Zihan absorbed the remaining Evil Energy and inner-core energy, then learned from the Book of the Gods about the Ring Fusion ability and its requirements and side effects.

• Yin Qianqian arrived with a pale woman, found Yin Chen, then told a staff member that her brother was Jian Hen, causing the staff member to spit out his water in shock.

Yin Qianqian claimed to be Jian Hen’s younger sister and persuaded Cold Snow Auction House staff to summon him despite having no proof of her identity. Bi Zihan arrived to meet her, and she recognized him as the Tower Master.

Yin Qianqian identified her companion Lanlan as a former Holy Spirit Cult Saintess, and Boye went with her to bring the others in to meet Bi Zihan.

• Boye tested Yin Qianqian with a Soul Power attack, then agreed to take her to Bi Zihan after hearing about her knowledge and powerful companions.
