• Xiao Wu suggested that the group leave the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well to obtain Soul Rings, and Xiao Lin agreed to travel to Thunder Canyon.

Dugu Bo’s Soul Core took shape, lifting his Soul Power to level 93 and freeing him from the poison in his body. After Dugu Bo offered to take the others out of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, Xiao Lin explained that Dugu Bo’s Soul Core was too large and that he might still improve through other means.

• Dugu Bo arrived laughing and announced that his Soul Core had succeeded, raising his Soul Power to level 93.
• Dugu Bo demonstrated his spinning Soul Core and said he could now contend with a level 94 Titled Douluo and hoped to become a Super Douluo.
• Dugu Bo offered to take Tang San and the others out of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, while Xiao Lin chose to remain and cultivate.
• Xiao Lin told Dugu Bo that his Soul Core was too large and insufficiently condensed, then explained that his lack of Soul Power—not Mental Power—prevented further compression.
• Dugu Bo asked whether absorbing Soul Bones was the only way to grow stronger, and Xiao Lin replied that it was not necessarily so.

Xiao Lin assured Dugu Bo that Dugu Yan could become a god and accepted Dugu Bo’s Soul Ring research notes. Meanwhile, Qian Daoliu and Bibi Dong both moved to secure their own plans for godhood, leaving Qian Renxue at risk of being caught between them.

• Dugu Bo asked Xiao Lin to help Dugu Yan become a god, and Xiao Lin agreed before accepting Dugu Bo’s notes on condensing Soul Rings.

• Bibi Dong found records of the Saint Soul King, a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, and planned to hunt it for its Soul Ring and Soul Bone.
• Bibi Dong decided to disrupt Qian Renxue’s bid for the Heaven Dou Empire so she could become a god before her daughter.

Qian Renxue abandoned her bloodless coup plan after learning she had only two years, and planned to use Xue Ke and the Royal Fight Team as contingencies. Near the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, Xiao Lin and Tang San tested a Spirit Gathering Array and began imagining how it could benefit the entire continent, leaving Xiao Lin determined to pursue the idea.

• Qian Renxue decided to stop impersonating Xue Qinghe, make Xue Ke a puppet emperor, and recruit Xiao Lin and the Royal Fight Team as supporters.
• Qian Renxue told She Long to tell her grandfather that she would stop Bibi Dong and needed two more years.
• Xiao Lin and Tang San examined their Soul Convergence Tool, which used two soul bones to channel and process spiritual energy.
• Tang San questioned whether the Spirit Gathering Array would be useful because its benefits were limited by the users' ability to absorb energy, and Xiao Lin recognized that his own body had hidden that limitation.

• Xiao Lin listed several other lightning Soul Beasts as possible targets and assured Tang San they could win.

Xiao Lin and the others crossed the Shuo Feng Plains by carriage while discussing its Soul Beasts and how spiritual energy could reveal powerful creatures and treasures. When the Spirit Gathering Array registered an even greater surge of spiritual energy from Thunder Canyon, Xiao Lin and Tang San concluded that the canyon held a God Inheritance.

• Xiao Lin warned Tang San, Xiao Wu, and Tang Ni about the dangers of herd-dwelling Soul Beasts on the Shuo Feng Plains and said they should abandon the caravan if necessary.
• Tang San noticed the Spirit Gathering Array growing denser as winds from the Extremely North Land blew across the plains, and Xiao Lin explained that spiritual energy could point toward powerful Soul Beasts and treasures.
• Xiao Lin discussed Million-Year Soul Beasts, while Tang Ni wondered whether they could become gods and Tang San considered what Soul Rings he might pursue.
• The Spirit Gathering Array surged again when winds from Thunder Canyon arrived, and Xiao Lin and Tang San realized together that Thunder Canyon had a God Inheritance.

Xiao Lin and his companions arrived in Dragon City after learning that Thunder Canyon held dangerous Soul Beasts and possibly a supreme treasure. At the Rose Hotel, Xiao Lin incapacitated a young master who harassed the women, and the group went inside to rest.

• Xiao Lin and Tang San sensed Thunder Canyon’s surging spiritual energy and suspected it contained a supreme treasure, while Tang Ni silently recognized the danger posed by Lei Huang.
• Xiao Lin decided to avoid the Hundred-Thousand-Year Thunder Emperor Dragon and warned the others, who agreed not to venture deep into Thunder Canyon.
• After traveling for more than half a month without incident, Xiao Lin, Tang San, Xiao Wu, and Tang Ni arrived in Dragon City and sought a hotel room.
• A debauched young master insulted Tang San and refused to let Xiao Wu and Tang Ni leave, so Xiao Lin struck him unconscious and left him with a strand of Ultimate Ice Soul Power that would immobilize him whenever he used Soul Power.

Xiao Lin's group entered Thunder Canyon despite warnings from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan guards, and Xiao Lin planned for Xiao Wu to condense her Soul Ring in a secluded spot. Inside, they encountered an ecosystem adapted to the canyon's dangerous lightning.

• Xiao Wu reached Soul Power Level 50 but held off on condensing her Soul Ring until they found a safe, unfamiliar place.
• Two Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan guards warned Xiao Lin's group that Thunder Canyon was too dangerous, so Xiao Lin and Tang Ni knocked them out and hid them with Blue Silver Grass.
• Xiao Lin's group entered the canyon, where he used his Chaos Domain to keep electrical charge from building up around them.
• Tang San examined the unusual plants, and Xiao Lin explained how Lightning Grass and other Soul Beasts adapted to the canyon's lightning.
• Xiao Lin suggested finding a secluded place so Xiao Wu could condense her Soul Ring, and she agreed.

Xiao Wu condensed her own Fifth Soul Ring in a cave while Xiao Lin watched, successfully creating a powerful Clone Soul Skill. The chapter ended with Tang San learning what the Clone could do as Xiao Lin considered its extraordinary potential.

• Tang San and Tang Ni guarded the cave while Xiao Lin watched Xiao Wu begin condensing her Soul Ring.
• Xiao Lin saw Xiao Wu's pink aura form a Soft Bone Rabbit and realized that the process exposed a faint trace of her true form.

• Tang San rushed into the cave, and Xiao Wu explained that her Clone could use her Soul Skills, share some damage, and switch places with her once.

Yu Tianxin arrived at Thunder Canyon with Lei Dong and Lei Tian to find Soul Rings, then learned that Xiao Lin's group had already entered. After considering capturing them for the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, he chose to seek their friendship and keep the encounter from reaching the clan.

• Xiao Wu reached level 53 after condensing her Soul Ring, while Tang San welcomed her increased strength and Tang Ni resolved to train harder.
• Xiao Lin continued recording Xiao Wu's Self-Condensed Soul Ring, correcting its light-point arrangements with help from the Two Great Dragon Kings.
• Yu Tianxin brought Lei Dong and Lei Tian to Thunder Canyon, where they found two Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan guards unconscious in Blue Silver Grass.
• Yu Tianxin revived the guards and learned that Xiao Lin's group had passed through the canyon after knocking them out.
• Yu Tianxin considered capturing Xiao Lin's group but decided the clan's ties and Yu Tianheng's advice made befriending them safer and more beneficial.
• Yu Tianxin stopped the guards from reporting the incident to the clan and planned to seek an exchange of benefits with Xiao Lin's group.

Yu Tianxin led Lei Zhan and Lei Tian to find Xiao Lin’s group and proposed trading clan resources and guidance to obtain the same transformation Yu Tianheng had undergone. Xiao Lin agreed to the deal and asked Yu Tianxin about his future path, which he said was pursuing lightning in its ultimate form.

• Yu Tianxin told Lei Zhan and Lei Tian that he intended to meet Xiao Lin and trade for benefits, encouraging them with the examples of Yu Feng and Osler.
• After roughly half a day, Yu Tianxin’s group encountered Xiao Lin, Tang San, and their companions while they were fighting Soul Beasts in the Mixed Region of Thunder Canyon.
• Yu Tianxin offered to help find suitable Soul Beasts and provide the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan’s Ten Thousand Year Living Magnet in exchange for undergoing Yu Tianheng’s transformation.
• Xiao Lin agreed to trade, then asked Yu Tianxin what path he intended to pursue.
• Yu Tianxin answered that he wanted to pursue lightning in its ultimate form.

Xiao Lin persuaded Yu Tianxin and two other Lightning Attribute Soul Masters to accept Spiritual Herbs suited to their Spirits, while Tang San secured their loyalty for the future Tang Sect. The three began absorbing the herbs, and Xiao Lin turned his attention to learning about dragon-type Soul Beasts and the Thunder Emperor Dragon.

• Xiao Lin explained that Yu Tianxin could not safely pursue Ultimate Thunder through sheer lightning power, then recommended a path involving Heaven Awakening Grass and specific Soul Beast soul rings.
• Xiao Lin agreed to let Lei Dong and Lei Tian follow Tang San, and the two made Spirit Oaths before naming their Thunder Spider and Thunder Eagle Spirits.
• Xiao Lin selected Thunder Pattern Vine for Lei Dong and Thunder Light Algae for Lei Tian, while Tang San supplied the three Spiritual Herbs and explained how to use them.
• Yu Tianxin, Lei Dong, and Lei Tian consumed their Spiritual Herbs and sat down to absorb their effects.
• Tang San felt guilty that he had gained more from the exchange, while Xiao Lin planned to ask Yu Tianxin about local dragon-type Soul Beasts and seek clues about the Thunder Emperor Dragon.
• Tang Ni considered asking Xiao Lin for Heaven Awakening Grass to awaken her Ultimate Fire attribute, but she felt too indebted to ask.

After absorbing the spiritual herbs, Yu Tianxin and the others heard Xiao Lin wanted a Hundred-Thousand-Year Thunder Emperor Dragon as his Fifth Soul Ring. Yu Tianxin led the group toward it after Xiao Lin reasoned that its strange behavior meant its Heavenly Tribulation was near, but he questioned how Xiao Lin would control it.

• Yu Tianxin reached Soul Power Level 48 after absorbing the spiritual herb, while Lei Dong and Lei Tian prepared to gain levels from their future Soul Rings.
• Xiao Lin asked for a Hundred-Thousand-Year Thunder Emperor Dragon, and Yu Tianxin warned that it was violently dangerous and could not be defeated even by his granduncle.
• Xiao Lin insisted on targeting the Thunder Emperor Dragon, and Tang San, Xiao Wu, and Tang Ni suspected he intended to make it sacrifice itself as its Heavenly Tribulation approached.
• Xiao Lin cited records of the Thunder Emperor Dragon's past and reasoned that its recent behavior meant it was trying to produce offspring before its impending Heavenly Tribulation.
• Yu Tianxin agreed to lead the group to the Thunder Emperor Dragon, then asked how Xiao Lin planned to calm it and make it listen; Xiao Lin claimed his age, cultivation, and future as a god would be enough.

Xiao Lin and his companions reached Thunder Canyon’s Core Area, where a vast Heavenly Tribulation frightened everyone except Xiao Lin. After identifying the lightning as a tribulation of at least Three-Hundred-Thousand-Year scale, Xiao Lin urged the others to leave before he approached the Thunder Emperor Dragon’s territory, but they insisted on going with him.

• Yu Tianxin led Xiao Lin and the others through the Mixed Region to the edge of the Core Area, where overwhelming lightning forced the group to retreat in fear while Xiao Lin advanced.
• Xiao Lin used his Faraday Cage and Imprisoning Dragon Staff to prepare for the lightning, then realized another soul beast was undergoing a Three-Hundred-Thousand-Year-or-greater Heavenly Tribulation that might also have strengthened the Thunder Emperor Dragon’s tribulation.
• Tang San was relieved that Xiao Lin’s discovery could help him persuade the Thunder Emperor Dragon to sacrifice itself, while Tang Ni recognized the danger of approaching Lei Huang’s likely son.
• Yu Tianxin pointed out the Thunder Emperor Dragon’s territory and refused to go farther, so Xiao Lin told Tang San, Xiao Wu, and Tang Ni to leave for their safety.
• Tang San, Xiao Wu, and Tang Ni each refused to abandon Xiao Lin, and Xiao Lin questioned Xiao Wu about the cost of using her Invincible Golden Body.

Xiao Lin sent Xiao Wu away with Tang Ni and entered Thunder Canyon with Tang San, using a Faraday Cage to cross the lightning nets. They found the Thunder Emperor Dragon, and Xiao Lin tried to persuade it to sacrifice itself by claiming he could survive its tribulation and eventually revive it as a god.

• Xiao Lin knocked Xiao Wu unconscious and asked Tang Ni to take her to safety while he and Tang San continued into the lightning-filled area.
• Tang Ni realized Xiao Lin had recognized her true identity as Jinni, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, but saw that he had not told Tang San.
• Xiao Lin and Tang San crossed the Heavenly Thunder unharmed inside Xiao Lin's Faraday Cage, while Yu Tianxin mistook it for a powerful defensive Soul Tool.
• Xiao Lin and Tang San traveled to the lake, where they found the enormous Thunder Emperor Dragon circling above the water.
• Xiao Lin told the Thunder Emperor Dragon that he wanted it to sacrifice itself, then claimed it could survive its tribulation and become a god after he ascended.

Xiao Lin tried to persuade the Thunder Emperor Dragon to sacrifice himself by promising a path to godhood and demonstrating that the Horned Dragon Staff could preserve the consciousness of soul beasts. When the dragon demanded equal status and Xiao Lin could not agree, they began a contest of strength that ended with Xiao Lin shattering the dragon’s Dragon Might.

• Xiao Lin told the Thunder Emperor Dragon that he and Tang San were Sea God Heir candidates and showed how the Horned Dragon Staff restored the consciousnesses of four soul beasts.
• The Thunder Emperor Dragon demanded equal status, but Xiao Lin could not swear to grant it, so the dragon accused him of deception and unleashed his Dragon Might.
• Xiao Lin spread his Chaos Domain to protect Tang San, and the Thunder Emperor Dragon decided to test whether Xiao Lin was strong enough to become a god without his help.
• The Thunder Emperor Dragon released his full Soul Power Pressure, forcing Xiao Lin to activate his abilities and support Tang San as they struggled to stand.
• Xiao Lin summoned the Dragon King Horn’s superior Dragon Might, shattered the Thunder Emperor Dragon’s Dragon Might, and prepared to use a Blood-Boiling combination skill with Tang San.

Xiao Lin and Tang San impressed the Thunder Emperor Dragon with their fused powers, and the Fire Dragon King’s presence convinced the Thunder Emperor Dragon to sacrifice himself to Xiao Lin. During the sacrifice, Xiao Lin discovered he was unaffected by the Thunder Emperor Dragon’s time-related magnetic field, while the Ice Fire Dragon King identified the source of the Thunder Emperor Dragon’s bloodline.

• Xiao Lin and Tang San used their Soul Ring Fusion Skill to resist the Thunder Emperor Dragon’s pressure, earning his recognition.
• The Thunder Emperor Dragon asked Xiao Lin why he had refused equal terms, and the Fire Dragon King took partial control of Xiao Lin to reveal himself to the Thunder Emperor Dragon.
• After recovering from the Fire Dragon King’s display, the Thunder Emperor Dragon decided to sacrifice himself to Xiao Lin.
• The Thunder Emperor Dragon began his sacrifice, and Xiao Lin found that he could move within the dragon’s special magnetic field.
• The Ice Fire Dragon King identified the Thunder Emperor Dragon as connected to the Time Dragon King’s bloodline and speculated that his bloodline lacked purity.

Xiao Lin completed the Thunder Emperor Dragon’s sacrifice, gained a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring and two Soul Skills, then escaped Thunder Canyon with his companions. As they traveled toward Dragon City, he described his first skill and began to reveal the second.

• Xiao Lin received the Thunder Emperor Dragon’s sacrifice, stored its left leg bone, and used Comet Star Scar Slash to flee the Core Area with Tang San.
• Xiao Lin’s group met Tang Ni and raced out of Thunder Canyon, shaken by a Soul Beast exceeding three hundred thousand years old.
• Yu Tianxin stopped Lei Dong, Lei Tian, and the clan uncles from pursuing Xiao Lin, then swore with them not to reveal Xiao Lin’s Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring and resolved to follow him.
• While heading toward Dragon City, Xiao Lin told Tang San, Tang Ni, and Xiao Wu that his Soul Power had reached about level fifty-six.
• Xiao Lin explained that his first Soul Skill created a lightning net filled with powerful strikes and let the Imprisoning Dragon Staff multiply into countless lightning weapons.
• Tang San asked about Xiao Lin’s other Soul Skill, and Xiao Lin named it Thunder Emperor Shocking Might Break.

Xiao Lin learned the Thunder Emperor Dragon’s powerful soul skill and realized he should channel his other enhancements through the Imprisoning Dragon Staff. He left eager to test his skills and absorb the Dragon’s left leg bone, while the Thunder Emperor Dragon revealed his Soul Bone skill, Thunder Rending Flash.

• Xiao Lin and the others discussed Thunder Emperor Shocking Might Break, whose destructive power could eventually shatter space.
• Xiao Lin reconsidered his fighting style and realized that Flowing Shadow Lightning Flash and Blazing Heart would be more effective when used to enhance the Imprisoning Dragon Staff.
• In Xiao Lin’s Consciousness Space, the Thunder Emperor Dragon learned that the Two Great Dragon Kings were Dragon God’s sons and fantasized about surpassing his father and Di Tian.
• Xiao Lin called the Thunder Emperor Dragon Lei Lei and promised to make him his First Divine Official after becoming a god.
• The Thunder Emperor Dragon described Thunder Rending Flash, a fast lightning attack that pierced through the air and carried destructive power.

Xiao Lin learned more about Lei Huang’s bloodline and Di Tian’s Dragon God Claw before the Two Great Dragon Kings tasked him with protecting the Silver Dragon King. Back in the real world, he resolved to strengthen his foundation and seek combat experience before advancing further.

• Lei Lei told Xiao Lin that his father, Lei Huang, possessed the Time Attribute and Yinglong bloodline, and had once been defeated by Di Tian’s Dragon God Claw.
• The Ice Dragon King and Fire Dragon King discussed Di Tian’s connection to the Dragon God and concluded that Xiao Lin should protect the Silver Dragon King.
