• Xiao Lin searched the volcano's depths but found no Corona Demon, then followed the Fire Dragon King's advice to examine the lava with his Fiery Eyes of Truth.

• Xiao Lin flew toward the tree, but eruptions of lava struck him when he tried to approach its fruit.
• Xiao Lin decided the tree was likely a Soul Beast and used his dragon wings to snatch a Fire Lotus Fruit.
• The fruit exploded into spiritual energy and vanished, and the Fire Dragon King explained that the tree was at least a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast whose fruits had become immortal.

Xiao Lin tried to persuade the Fire Lotus Fruit Tree to sacrifice itself, but learned that it was responsible for suppressing the volcano. After he impressed it with his strength and promises of revival, the tree agreed on the condition that Xiao Lin find a way to suppress the volcano.

• The Fire Dragon King explained that the Fire Lotus Fruit Tree voluntarily gave its fruits to native Soul Beasts and would erupt magma to repel outsiders.

• After Xiao Lin found a Hundred-Thousand-Year Triangular Fire Explosion Dragon, the tree agreed to sacrifice itself, provided Xiao Lin could suppress the volcano.
• Xiao Lin agreed to work out a solution and began estimating the volcano’s size and the power needed to suppress it.

Xiao Lin discovered that the Fire Lotus Fruit Tree had been absorbing volcanic energy to keep the volcano from erupting, but it had become too weak to manage the growing pressure. He decided to use the tree's branches and roots as materials for a Soul Power Array that would release the energy, leaving the tree to help him try the plan.

• Xiao Lin estimated the volcano's size and concluded that suppressing its eruption would require power beyond his current abilities.

• Xiao Lin declined the tree's Sacrifice and proposed using its branches and roots to build a Soul Power Array that would release the volcano's energy.
• Xiao Lin explained the array to the Fire Lotus Fruit Tree and assured it that he would become a god before the volcano erupted.

Xiao Lin reinforced the Fire Lotus Fruit Tree and helped it release the Volcanic Energy beneath Central Volcano. The eruption shook the Volcanic Archipelago and revealed a spectacular pillar of Ultimate Fire beside Xiao Lin’s giant golden image, leaving the Blazing Fire Team and the other witnesses stunned.

• Central Volcano erupted in a massive pillar of Ultimate Fire, and a giant golden image appeared beside it as the firelight spread across the archipelago.

Xiao Lin eased the strain of reinforcing the Fire Lotus Fruit Tree by multiplying his Imprisoning Dragon Staffs and using them to withstand the volcanic pressure.

• Xiao Lin considered whether to fight for the Core Flame, while remaining unsure if he could seize it from the gathered soul beasts.

• Xiao Lin analyzed the Soul Beasts' attacks and realized he could snatch the Core Flame.

• Xiao Lin convinced the soul beasts that they could become gods by merging with him through Sacrifice and revival.
• When the Triangular Fire Explosion Dragon asked which soul beast should Sacrifice first, Xiao Lin pointed to the Corona Demon.

Xiao Lin persuaded the Corona Demon to sacrifice itself by promising mutual benefits and earning the trust of the surrounding Soul Beasts. As the Corona Demon began its sacrifice, Xiao Lin requested an ability suited to his Imprisoning Dragon Staff and felt its radiance strengthen his Chaos Soul Bone.

• The Corona Demon questioned whether Xiao Lin would revive it after its sacrifice, and Xiao Lin explained that helping him benefited them both and reminded it of his aid to the Soul Beasts.
• Xiao Lin used a fist bump to let Old Fire's consciousness reassure the Corona Demon, which agreed to sacrifice itself without giving up its soul.
• The Triangular Fire Explosion Dragon and the other Soul Beasts left to give Xiao Lin a safe place for the sacrifice.

• Xiao Lin used his Imprisoning Dragon Staff to escape the sacrifice’s time freeze and told the Corona Demon he would accept only its sacrifice, while recommending the other beasts to his companion.
• The Corona Demon completed its sacrifice, granting Xiao Lin the Golden Fire Left Arm Bone and the soul skills Rainbow Transformation and Spark Flash.
• Xiao Lin assessed Rainbow Transformation’s Light Path movement and Spark Flash’s powerful but demanding attack, noting that Spark Flash required his Seventh Soul Ring or an enchanted weapon.
• The Corona Demon entered Xiao Lin’s Consciousness Space, where Xiao Lin introduced the Fire Dragon King and Ice Dragon King as his ancestors and named the demon Firelight.
• Xiao Lin told Firelight to learn from the Fire Dragon King and Lei Lei, then left the Consciousness Space and took out the Core Flame again.

• Xiao Lin pulled out the Core Flame and called out to the Fire God, who learned that Xiao Lin had gained the Corona Demon's Sacrifice instead of completing the intended trial.

She ordered Spirit Luan Douluo to help Wu Ning obtain a Mental Power-enhancing Seventh Soul Ring so he could develop the method sooner.

• Bibi Dong studied Xiao Yan’s Rasengan thesis and became wary of his strength, wisdom, and motives.
• Wu Ning told Bibi Dong that he had learned the listed Self-Created Soul Skills and that a basic Rasengan could destroy a one-centimeter-thick steel plate.

• Wu Ning said he needed three years to develop an initial cultivation plan, but could work faster with a Mental Power-enhancing Seventh Soul Ring.
• Bibi Dong promised to have Spirit Luan Douluo help Wu Ning obtain the Seventh Soul Ring.

Xiao Yan’s new thesis on Self-Created Soul Skills spread across the continent, prompting powerful Soul Masters to consider how its Rasengan method could help them cultivate Soul Cores. The chapter leaves Ning Fengzhi confident that Xiao Lin and his companions, rather than Spirit Hall, will shape the future.
