Chapter Summaries

Chen Ping ambushed Abomination Douluo with a devastating red beam, killing him instantly, then pursued Myriad Souls Douluo as he fled. Myriad Souls Douluo unleashed his Vengeful Spirits to stall Chen Ping, but Chen Ping purified them with Holy Light, leaving Myriad Souls Douluo screaming in agony.

• Chen Ping used Light of Purification to destroy the attacking Vengeful Spirits, causing Myriad Souls Douluo to cry out in agony.

Chen Ping advanced against the Myriad Souls Douluo, whose Ten Thousand Souls Banner lost power as Chen Ping purified its resentful spirits. After the Douluo transformed into his Myriad Souls Avatar and struck Chen Ping, Chen Ping revealed his seven-ring power and damaged the banner, leaving the Douluo weakened.

• The Myriad Souls Douluo’s avatar shrank and billowed smoke as he ordered the Beast Souls to kill Chen Ping.

Chen Ping defeated Myriad Souls Douluo and took Dongyang City's supplies. He purified the twelve Beast Soul vengeful spirits, and Liya began to sing as her soul faded.

• Lan Fuzi called out to Liya, who acknowledged them and sang mournfully as white light appeared and her body turned translucent.

Chen Ping preserved Mermaid Liya’s soul at Lan Fuzi’s request, then traveled with her across the Ice Sea toward the Sea Princess Clan. As they sailed north, he discussed his plans and his need to grow stronger while Lan Fuzi ate the shark fin noodles he had made.

• Lan Fuzi asked Chen Ping to preserve Mermaid Liya’s soul so she could visit the Sea Princess, and Chen Ping captured Liya’s fading soul and placed her in his Sea of Consciousness.

• Chen Ping and Lan Fuzi reached the icy waters, where he steered around ice floes and used Lan Fuzi’s aura to scare off Sea Soul Beasts.
• Lan Fuzi ate bowls of Chen Ping’s Spicy and Sour Shark Fin Noodles and asked him to add minced Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear rib meat.

Chen Ping and Lan Fuzi found a Sea Demon Elephant herd on the ice islands, where Chen Ping sought to buy a treasure from them. The elephants used golden conches to knock the pair from the sky, and Lan Fuzi prepared to attack them in anger.

• Chen Ping told Lan Fuzi he had come to the Ice Sea to find a treasure owned by the Sea Demon Elephant clan, not to hunt the herd.
• Chen Ping and Lan Fuzi approached the iceberg where hundreds of Sea Demon Elephants lived.
• Twelve leading Sea Demon Elephants blew golden conches that stripped away the airflow and sent Chen Ping and Lan Fuzi plunging toward the ice.
• Chen Ping and Lan Fuzi survived the fall without injury, while weaker Sea Demon Elephants fled and the twelve strongest surrounded them.
• Lan Fuzi drew her Eight-sided Plum Blossom Hammers and prepared to strike the Sea Demon Elephants.

Chen Ping stopped Lan Fuzi from attacking the Sea Demon Elephants and proved their good intentions by presenting the heads of two Holy Spirit Cult elders. After learning that their Sky Banning Conches came from the Sea Princess, he offered Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Marrow to buy one, leaving the Sea Demon Elephant leader transfixed.

• Lina asked Lan Fuzi whether she had found Lina’s younger sister, and Lan Fuzi’s silence made Lina realize her sister was dead.
• Lina recovered from the mermaids’ shared grief and used a blue bubble to carry Chen Ping and Lan Fuzi into the sea to entertain them.

Chen Ping and Lan Fuzi reached the Sea Princess Clan’s underwater palace, where Chen Ping told the Sea Princess and Lina about Liya’s fate. He revealed that Liya’s soul was still with him, and it began to stir when her mother called to her.

• Chen Ping and Lan Fuzi descended through the ocean and arrived at the Sea Princess Clan’s glowing underwater palace.

• Chen Ping revealed that he had gathered Liya’s soul and brought it back, though it could survive only a few days without a body.
• Chen Ping released Liya’s soul from his brow, and it trembled when the Sea Princess softly called to her.

Chen Ping visited the Sea Princess Clan’s treasury after the Sea Princess reunited with her daughter, Liya, and found hundreds of Sky Banning Conches. He reserved them for later, hoping to use them against the Sun Moon Empire, and asked whether he was the first human to enter the treasury.

• Liya regained enough clarity to speak with her mother and sister, while Chen Ping and Lan Fuzi left them alone to reunite.
• The Sea Princess sent A Qing and A Hong to show Chen Ping and Lan Fuzi around and told them to give Chen Ping whatever he wanted.
• Chen Ping asked A Qing about the Mermaid Clan’s supply of conches and followed him and A Hong to the treasury.
• Chen Ping found hundreds of Sky Banning Conches, reserved them, and imagined using them to ground the Sun Moon Empire’s flying Soul Engineers and surveillance devices.
• Chen Ping looked around the treasury and asked A Qing whether he was the first human to visit it.

Chen Ping discovered that the Sea Princess Clan used vast quantities of Deep Sea Dark Silver as treasury pillars and resolved to take it for his plans to create soul rings. He promised Liya would not return to the Sea God's embrace, and the Sea Princess offered him her spiritual tears in exchange for letting her and Lina see Liya each year.

• Chen Ping examined the treasury pillars and recognized that they were made of valuable Deep Sea Dark Silver.
• Chen Ping declared that Liya would not return to the Sea God's embrace, and A Qing and A Hong realized he intended to keep her alive.
• Chen Ping decided to take the Sea Princess Clan's Deep Sea Dark Silver to make Sea God Pillars and produce soul rings.
• The Sea Princess asked Chen Ping to keep nurturing Liya in his Sea of Consciousness and let her and Lina see Liya each year.
• The Sea Princess gave Chen Ping her golden tears, sharing part of her Spiritual Origin to nourish his Sea of Consciousness, and Chen Ping said he would have agreed even without them because he had a request of his own.

Chen Ping used the Life Carving Knife to treat Liya after learning that her body and missing soul fragment were still intact. He left the knife embedded in her brow and planned to return the next day, while the Sea Princess pledged the clan’s support to him.

• Lina told Chen Ping that Liya’s body and missing soul fragment had been recovered and were in the Sea Princess’s bedchamber.
• Chen Ping examined Liya’s weakened body on the Jade Cold Bed and judged that she could recover if her soul was restored.
• Chen Ping drew Liya’s soul back into her body and placed the Life Carving Knife in her brow to heal her.

• The Sea Princess swore that Chen Ping could retrieve his knife and promised the Sea Princess Clan would support him.
• The Sea Princess asked A Qing and A Hong to bring Chen Ping the items he had liked and arrange a banquet for him and Lan Fuzi.

Chen Ping learned that the Sea Princess Clan could provide him with vast quantities of Deep Sea Dark Silver and possibly Deep Sea Dark Silver Mother from the Oceanic Great Rift. After agreeing to visit the rift following the banquet, he began to ask the Sea Princess about another matter.

• A Hong reported that Chen Ping wanted the treasury’s Anti-Air Sea Conches and dark silver pillars, but she and A Qing could not move the pillars.
• The Sea Princess offered to clear the treasury, but Chen Ping explained that he only needed Deep Sea Dark Silver and could take some directly.

After returning to Shrek Academy from his journey to the Ice Sea, Chen Ping shared his spoils and recounted how he had dealt with Evil Soul Masters in Dongyang City. The chapter ended with the academy staff marveling at his haul and Huo Yuhao asking about his friendship with the Sea Princess Clan.

• Chen Ping bid farewell to the Sea Princess Clan after Liya awakened and returned to Shrek Academy through its teleportation array.
• Chen Ping gave Huo Yuhao a person-sized piece of Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Marrow and dropped a seven-hundred-ton block of Deep Sea Dark Silver for the Soul Guidance Department.
• Qian Duoduo and Xuan Ziwen inspected the Deep Sea Dark Silver as Chen Ping explained that he had found it in a seabed rift while befriending the Sea Princess Clan.
• Chen Ping told Huo Yuhao, Qian Duoduo, and Xuan Ziwen about his journey and the Evil Soul Masters in Dongyang City.
• Xuan Ziwen marveled that Chen Ping had killed two Titled Douluo-level Evil Soul Masters, and Chen Ping credited Xuan Ziwen’s Linked Light of Piercing with helping him defeat the Abomination Douluo.

Chen Ping returned to Shrek Academy, where Xuan Ziwen explained that the Academy had studied the Death God Tower and begun repairing it. The chapter left the Pavilion Elders facing the problem of replacing the tower’s human-soul fuel with a power source they could ethically use.

• Qian Duoduo scolded Chen Ping for provoking two Evil Soul Master Titled Douluos, then reflected on how far his disciple’s strength had surpassed ordinary Titled Douluos.
• Chen Ping recalled that he had not had time to deal with the Death God Tower after returning from the border war and helping Long Ao Tian.
• Xuan Ziwen told Chen Ping that the Academy and Mo Fang had studied the Death God Tower’s design and begun repairing it.
• Xuan Ziwen explained that the tower required enormous numbers of dead souls, which Shrek would not use, and that the Academy needed a weapon capable of threatening Titled Douluos.
• The Academy’s researchers struggled to find an alternative power source because the tower’s design relied on souls being compressed together without taking up physical space.

Chen Ping proposed using the God Realm’s Immortal Spirit Qi to restore the Death God Tower, though obtaining it would require him to become strong enough to face Da Ming and Er Ming. After two peaceful months at Shrek Academy, he learned that large numbers of soul beasts were gathering in the Star Dou Forest.

• Chen Ping explained that the Death God Tower needed an ultra-high-density energy source and identified the God Realm’s Immortal Spirit Qi as a possible substitute for human souls.
• Chen Ping revealed that some Immortal Spirit Qi had been stored in the Clear Sky Sect under Da Ming and Er Ming’s watch, but he would need to grow strong enough to confront them before trying to obtain it.
• Chen Ping discussed the teleportation array and Deep Sea Dark Silver with the Elders, then left the Sea God Pavilion with his new staff and Three Hundred Thousand Year Demon Soul Great White Shark Soul Ring.
• Chen Ping spent two months cultivating and showing affection with Ning Tian and Wu Feng around the academy as his cultivation rose to level seventy-three and then continued advancing.
• A Shrek graduate from the Star Dou Forest mining team reported to Chen Ping that large numbers of soul beasts had begun gathering on their own.

Chen Ping suspected the Holy Spirit Cult had provoked the unrest in Star Dou Forest and ordered Shrek Academy and the nearby city to prepare for a Beast Tide. In the forest, Di Tian and other powerful soul beasts discovered that more than five Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts had been hunted in half a month.

• A Senior told Chen Ping that soul beasts in Star Dou Forest had become restless and were attacking Soul Masters in coordinated groups.
• Chen Ping suspected the Holy Spirit Cult was behind the unrest and ordered preparations for a possible Beast Tide before rushing to convene a Sea God Pavilion Meeting.
• Powerful soul beasts gathered above the Core Area as Di Tian opened a vast rift in the sky, but nothing emerged from it.
• Bi Ji asked Di Tian what had happened, and he revealed that another Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast had died.
• A green-bodied man reported that more than five Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts had been hunted in barely half a month, while Bi Ji questioned why humans would provoke them during wartime.

Di Tian prepared a bloody retaliation after humans killed five Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts, while Chen Ping recognized that the Holy Spirit Cult had engineered the conflict to trap Shrek between the Soul Beast World and the Human World. As the Star Dou Forest’s sky turned crimson and a Beast Tide seemed imminent, Chen Ping resolved to resist any attempt by Di Tian to control humanity and asked Xuan Zi about their preparations.

• Bear Lord demanded retaliation for the deaths of the Soul Beasts, and Di Tian allowed the Fierce Beasts’ anger to rise despite suspecting the attack was unusual.
• Chen Ping concluded that the Holy Spirit Cult had provoked the Soul Beasts and forced Shrek into a conflict it could not dismiss as a misunderstanding.
• A blood-red glow spread across the horizon as torrential rain fell over the Star Dou Great Forest, signaling that the Beast Tide was likely unavoidable.
• Chen Ping told Xuan Zi and Shi Xing that humanity would fight the Soul Beast World if it tried to obstruct human progress.
• Chen Ping asked whether Xuan Zi and Du Busi had made progress on the plan they had discussed, and Xuan Zi said their research was ready to surprise Di Tian.

Shrek City’s walls had been transformed into four enormous War Fortresses by embedding Soul Tools and vast quantities of rare metals. Shrek’s leaders had used the fortifications to manage a seemingly endless surplus from the Star Dou Forest mines, leaving the city heavily defended against any future attack.

• Shrek City’s ordinary-looking walls were revealed to contain integrated Soul Tools and defenses that made them four super War Fortresses.
• Chen Ping’s discovery of super Mining Areas in the Star Dou Forest had provided Shrek with an enormous, continuing supply of rare metals.
• Shrek Academy’s warehouses and underground storage had filled as the mines and Undead produced more metal than the Academy could use or sell.
• Shrek’s Elders had decided to hollow out and reinforce the city walls, using the excess rare metals to strengthen the city’s defenses.

Shrek Academy prepared its defenses as the Star Dou Forest’s Beast Tide advanced on Shrek City beneath a spreading darkness caused by Di Tian. The Soul Beasts reached the city’s outskirts, and Xuan Zi and the Sea God Pavilion Elders arrived on the south wall to face the coming attack.

• The Sea God Pavilion Elders approved filling Shrek City’s interior with rare metal, while the supply depot became the academy’s headquarters for monitoring Star Dou Forest.
• Xuan Zi and Du Busi watched High-Altitude Detector images show unnatural darkness spreading across the forest, which Xuan Zi attributed to Di Tian’s Ultimate Darkness.
• Shrek City entered lockdown as its Soul Master defenders deployed Soul Tools and seven thousand ordinary soldiers took up defensive positions.
• The Beast Tide advanced toward Shrek City in formation, and Shi Xing eagerly anticipated testing the city’s defensive strength against it.
• As the vanguard came within ten kilometers of the south wall, Xuan Zi, Yan Shaozhe, Xian Liner, and the other Sea God Pavilion Elders arrived on the battlements.

Xuan Zi confronted Di Tian above Shrek City as the Star Dou Great Forest’s Beast Tide threatened the city. Di Tian accused humanity of breaking its pact by killing more than five Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts, while Xuan Zi blamed the Sun Moon Empire’s Evil Soul Masters.

• Xuan Zi worried that the Beast Tide would leave Shrek’s forces unable to stop the Sun Moon Empire from attacking Tian Hun.
• Old Song warned Xuan Zi that Di Tian surpassed Mu En in cultivation, but Xuan Zi went to confront him.
• Xuan Zi’s roar halted the advancing Soul Beasts, and he rose into the sky to face the black clouds above Shrek City.
• Di Tian appeared as a colossal black dragon and accused humans of killing more than five Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts.
• Xuan Zi claimed the Sun Moon Empire’s Evil Soul Masters were responsible and denied that humanity had broken its pact with the Soul Beasts.
