Chapter Summaries

Shiyu helped Bibi Dong recover while she extracted the Rakshasa God Scythe, then they escaped Death Canyon together. Afterward, Shiyu received the rewards for passing his first three trials and reached Soul Power Level 56.

• As Bibi Dong weakened while pulling out the Rakshasa God Scythe, Shiyu cut his hand and let her drink his blood to restore her strength.
• Bibi Dong recovered enough to pull the Rakshasa God Scythe free just as the barrier shattered and the Spirit Beasts attacked.
• Bibi Dong struck the charging creatures with the Rakshasa God Scythe, then told Shiyu to Teleport them away.
• Shiyu Teleported himself and Bibi Dong out of Death Canyon and received a ten-thousand-year increase to all his Soul Rings and three Soul Power levels.
• Shiyu reached Level 56 and glanced at Bibi Dong as she repaired her damaged clothing.

Shiyu and Bibi Dong discussed compensation for the treasures he lost while helping her, and he suggested a way for her to obtain God-Bestowed Soul Rings through Rakshasa trials. Bibi Dong then questioned Shiyu about his healing blood and time-related abilities, ending by asking whether he also had a Time Martial Soul.

• Bibi Dong changed into a clean dress and acknowledged that Shiyu had fulfilled one of her promises, with two favors still remaining.
• Shiyu asked Bibi Dong to compensate him for his lost shield, requesting a Space Attribute Soul Bone or a Time Attribute Soul Bone, but she had neither.
• Shiyu suggested that Bibi Dong send other Spirit Masters through Rakshasa trials to earn God-Bestowed Soul Rings, and Bibi Dong considered using the idea to obtain rings for him and herself.
• Bibi Dong asked why Shiyu's blood had healed her so quickly, and he attributed its medicinal properties to consuming a Nine-Heart Begonia flower.
• Bibi Dong asked whether Shiyu had stretched time earlier, and he claimed he carried a life-saving Time Attribute treasure from his father.
• Bibi Dong offered to obtain two God-Bestowed Soul Rings if Shiyu explained his time ability, then asked whether he had a Time Martial Soul.

Shiyu learned the details of Bibi Dong’s Eighth Trial, rejected her offer to join Spirit Hall, and accepted her Pope’s Token before leaving Death Canyon. He hurried to Heaven Dou City to find Dugu Bo and Yuan Lang, discovering that Yuan Lang was home but Dugu Bo was not.

• Bibi Dong explained that her Eighth Trial required completing her Soul Rings and Soul Bones before defeating the Rakshasa God, and she revealed that she had Twin Martial Souls.
• Shiyu offered to help Bibi Dong challenge the Rakshasa God but refused to join Spirit Hall, then reminded her that she owed him two God-Bestowed Soul Rings.
• Bibi Dong gave Shiyu a high-grade Pope’s Token, and he left after promising to return for the Soul Rings within two years.
• Shiyu returned to ask Bibi Dong which direction Heaven Dou City was in, then crossed the distance from Death Canyon in about ten minutes.
• Shiyu reached Dugu Bo’s house in Heaven Dou City and sensed that Yuan Lang was there while Dugu Bo was away.

Shiyu returned to find Yuan Lang stronger and praised his rapid cultivation. After giving Yuan Lang a Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum, Shiyu considered having him compete with Dai Mubai for the God of War's inheritance.

• Shiyu secretly watched Yuan Lang train, tested his strength with a spatial finger, and saw Yuan Lang break it before fleeing.
• Yuan Lang recognized Shiyu, joyfully welcomed him, and described how Dugu Bo helped him obtain a five-hundred-year First Soul Ring and a thousand-year Second Soul Ring, reaching level twenty-two.
• Shiyu praised Yuan Lang's progress and gave him a Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum to refine, standing guard as its golden glow appeared on Yuan Lang's body.
• While Yuan Lang refined the flower, Shiyu considered steering him toward the God of War's inheritance, reasoning that his talent could surpass Dai Mubai's.

Shiyu reunited with Dugu Bo and explained that Yuan Lang was refining a Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum. After learning where Zhao Wujin was, Shiyu prepared to seek revenge, leaving Dugu Bo astonished by his level 56 cultivation.

• Dugu Bo arrived with Dugu Yan and found Shiyu watching over Yuan Lang, who was refining the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum.
• Shiyu persuaded Dugu Bo that he had not stolen the flower from his Medicine Garden, and Dugu Bo apologized for suspecting him.
• Dugu Bo told Shiyu that he had cut off Zhao Wujin's arms and that Zhao Wujin was at Shrek Academy.
• Shiyu said he intended to kill Zhao Wujin, and Dugu Bo warned that powerful Spirit Masters were with him.
• Dugu Bo sensed that Shiyu had reached level 56 and reacted with disbelief at his rapid progress.

Shiyu learned from Dugu Bo that the forest he was searching for was likely in the Star Cloud Mountain Range of the Star Luo Empire, where Dugu Bo had once obtained a Medusa Skull Bone. The unusual beasts there strengthened Shiyu’s suspicion that the War God Inheritance was nearby, but he decided not to involve Dugu Yan.

• Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan were astonished that Shiyu was a fourteen- or fifteen-year-old Soul King, and Shiyu let Dugu Bo attribute his rapid cultivation to Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.
• Shiyu used the Power of Space to draw the mountain scenery he remembered, and Dugu Bo identified it as likely being in the Star Cloud Mountain Range.
• Dugu Bo revealed that he had obtained his poison-storing Skull Bone there after killing a wounded Medusa, though he regretted being unable to absorb its Soul Ring.
• Dugu Bo recalled encountering powerful Spirit Beasts there, including Medusa, Earth Dragon, and Golden-Eyed Ape, making Shiyu suspect the War God’s residual energy had affected the area.
• Shiyu considered taking Dugu Yan to the site for a chance at a God-Bestowed Soul Ring, but rejected the idea to avoid alerting the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.

Shiyu used his Precognition Ability to locate Zhao Wujin at Shrek Academy and attacked him during a faculty meeting. He trapped himself and Zhao Wujin inside a Domain Space, leaving Flender, Liu Erlong, and the others unable to break through as they tried to save him.

• Shiyu left Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan to watch Yuan Lang and used his Spatial ability to travel to Shrek Academy.
• Shiyu’s Precognition Ability showed him killing Zhao Wujin before escaping a counterattack from Yu Xiaogang, Flender, and Liu Erlong.
• Shiyu arrived at a Shrek Academy faculty meeting, where the injured Zhao Wujin sat planning revenge against Dugu Bo and Shiyu.
• Shiyu pierced Zhao Wujin’s abdomen with his Dark Gold Claw, while Flender, Liu Erlong, and the teachers rushed to attack him.
• Shiyu formed a Domain Space around himself and Zhao Wujin, and the faculty’s repeated attacks failed to break through it.

Shiyu killed Zhao Wujin and escaped Heaven Dou City while a powerful pursuer gave chase. He suspected the pursuer was Tang Hao and continued drawing him away to avoid a direct fight.

• Shiyu tortured Zhao Wujin with Ice and Fire Energy, then killed him to settle their grudge.
• Flender, Liu Erlong, and the others narrowly survived when the Domain Space exploded, as an unknown powerful figure contained the blast.
• Shiyu teleported away from Heaven Dou City and deliberately led the hooded pursuer farther from Dugu Bo's residence.
• Shiyu suspected his pursuer was Tang Hao, who wanted to learn about him and kill him because of his hostility toward Shrek Academy.
• Shiyu avoided confronting Tang Hao, judging that Tang Hao's Ring Detonation could make a fight risky for his God-tier Mecha.

Shiyu escaped Tang Hao by drawing him far from Heaven Dou City, then returned to Dugu Bo’s residence, where Yuan Lang finished absorbing the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum and reached level thirty. After agreeing to take Yuan Lang to obtain a Soul Ring, Shiyu presented Dugu Bo with a rare Torso Soul Bone, leaving him stunned.

• Shiyu lured Tang Hao fifty or sixty li away from Heaven Dou City, revealed his true speed, and escaped before Tang Hao could catch him.
• Shiyu returned to Dugu Bo’s residence, reported his success, and declined Dugu Bo’s attempt to match him with Dugu Yan.
• Yuan Lang completed his absorption of the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum, stabilized his energy, and discovered that his Soul Power had risen from level twenty-two to level thirty while his physique had greatly improved.
• Shiyu agreed to take Yuan Lang to obtain a Soul Ring the next day, and Dugu Bo marveled at the boy’s achievement at just over seven years old.
• At dinner, Shiyu gave Dugu Bo a high-aged Torso Soul Bone, which Dugu Bo recognized as an exceptionally valuable gift.

Shiyu gave Dugu Bo a Soul Bone, then secretly entered the Tiandou Imperial Treasury to steal the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud. He found the box containing it but had not yet taken it.

• Shiyu gave Dugu Bo a Soul Bone to make up for taking the medicine from his garden, and Dugu Bo accepted it gratefully.
• Late at night, Shiyu used teleportation and precognition to locate the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud inside the imperial palace.
• Shiyu found the Imperial Treasury difficult to enter because its materials reinforced space, so he created and detonated a Domain Space to distract the guards.
• Shiyu slipped into the treasury during the brief distraction and used precognition to find the box holding the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud.
• Shiyu hesitated before taking the box because the artifact could not be moved casually.

Shiyu searched the Heaven Dou Imperial Treasury, found a token he suspected was the Soul-Seizing Token, and stole the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud. He escaped the guards and returned to Dugu Bo’s manor, while the Tiandou Imperial Palace began investigating the intrusion.

• Shiyu searched the treasury for valuable items and discovered a token marked “Soul Capture” that he suspected was the Soul-Seizing Token connected to Medusa.
• Shiyu stored the token, used his Substitution Skill to take the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud without opening its box, and teleported out of the treasury.
• Several Soul Douluo spotted Shiyu, but he escaped their pursuit by teleporting away from the imperial palace and returning to Dugu Bo’s manor.
• Shiyu washed and went to bed while guards and Imperial Shrine Guardians gathered to discuss the intruder and consider inspecting the treasury.

After Xue Qinghe discovered that the Imperial Treasury was intact, he connected the intruder’s teleportation ability to records about Shiyu. Shiyu left Dugu Bo and took Yuan Lang to search for the War God inheritance, where they found a spatial entrance beginning to open.

• Xue Qinghe inspected the Imperial Treasury, found no signs of a break-in, and later read an ancestor’s records about Shiyu’s continuous teleportation.
• Xue Qinghe wondered whether the intruder was related to Shiyu and resolved to ask him if they met.
• Shiyu left Dugu Bo a letter and advice to retire, then took Yuan Lang toward the Star Luo Empire to seek the War God inheritance.
• Shiyu and Yuan Lang traveled thousands of kilometers to a mountain forest, where Shiyu sensed an abnormality in space.
• Shiyu used his Precognition Ability to find how to enter the hidden space and waited with Yuan Lang until space twisted around them.

Shiyu and Yuan Lang entered the God of War’s inheritance ground, where its guardian King Kong invited them to attempt the inheritance. Yuan Lang was chosen for the Nine Trials of the God of War, and King Kong promised to guide him within the rules.

• Shiyu recognized the golden hall as a Place of Godly Inheritance and introduced himself and Yuan Lang to King Kong, its guardian.
• Shiyu sent Yuan Lang to pray before the statue, and King Kong was astonished by the young boy’s cultivation and talent.
• Golden light enveloped Yuan Lang, and the War God chose him, granting him a War Blade mark and the Nine Trials of the God of War.
• Shiyu encouraged Yuan Lang to complete the trials, and King Kong offered to answer his questions within the rules.

Shiyu received a simple Red Tier First Trial from the God of War: defeat Vajra, with a God-Bestowed Soul Ring as the reward. After learning that Vajra was an extraordinarily powerful Spirit Beast and hearing how he became the inheritance guardian, Shiyu asked him about suitable Spirit Beasts for Yuan Lang’s Third Soul Ring.

• Vajra gave Yuan Lang a God-Bestowed Soul Ring, and Shiyu persuaded him to save it until he could use its full potential.
• Shiyu reassured Yuan Lang that he did not resent him for inheriting the God of War’s trials and urged him to complete them and become a deity.
• Shiyu received a Red Tier First Trial requiring him to defeat Vajra, and Vajra confirmed that Shiyu could earn another God-Bestowed Soul Ring upon reaching a cultivation bottleneck.
• Vajra revealed that his cultivation exceeded six hundred thousand years and explained that the God of War had made him guardian more than thirty thousand years earlier.
• Shiyu asked Vajra whether any Spirit Beasts outside the inheritance ground would make a suitable Third Soul Ring for Yuan Lang.

Shiyu exchanged two precious Soul Bones for Yuan Lang’s God-Bestowed Soul Ring and prepared to leave him in King Kong’s care. Before departing, he learned that King Kong knew of a rare Time Attribute Soul Beast that might be the oldest on the continent.

• Shiyu assessed Yuan Lang’s strength-focused Martial Soul and said he could withstand a Soul Ring exceeding five thousand years with help.
• Shiyu gave Yuan Lang two high-level Soul Bones in exchange for his God-Bestowed Soul Ring, and Yuan Lang accepted them after Shiyu insisted.
• Shiyu asked King Kong to watch over Yuan Lang while he absorbed the Soul Bones and then help him find a suitable Soul Ring.
• Yuan Lang reluctantly let Shiyu leave after Shiyu promised to visit again, and King Kong invited Shiyu to challenge him whenever he felt ready.
• Shiyu asked King Kong about Space and Time Attribute Soul Beasts, and King Kong revealed that he knew of six Space Attribute Soul Beasts and one exceptionally old Time Attribute Soul Beast.

Shiyu learned that a rare Time Spirit lived in the mountains and decided he wanted it as a Soul Ring, though King Kong warned that its Time Power made it too dangerous to challenge. Shiyu then asked King Kong to care for his sleeping Bimon Beast while he went somewhere unsuitable for bringing it, and King Kong agreed on the condition that Shiyu explain the arrangement to it.

• King Kong told Shiyu that the Time Spirit was roughly over a Hundred-Thousand-Year and that his instincts warned him he would lose if he fought it.
• Shiyu considered how the Time Spirit’s control over time could drain lifespan and resolved to obtain it as a Soul Ring.
• Shiyu released his sleeping Bimon Beast from the Antique Coin and asked King Kong to look after it while he was away.
• King Kong recognized the Bimon Beast as an apparently extinct Exotic Beast with a powerful bloodline and was shocked to see one alive.
• King Kong agreed to care for the Bimon Beast but warned Shiyu to explain things clearly because the creature had a poor temper.

Shiyu left the Behemoth Beast and Yuan Lang in King Kong’s care before departing the God of War Inheritance Ground. He headed northwest toward the City of Slaughter, intending to explore it during the few days he had left.

• Shiyu woke the Behemoth Beast, fed him Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, and persuaded him to stay with King Kong while Shiyu was away.
• Shiyu asked King Kong to care for the Behemoth Beast and Yuan Lang if he did not return, and King Kong agreed.
• Shiyu asked King Kong what would happen to the Inheritance Land if Yuan Lang became a God, and King Kong said the land might vanish while he would likely remain.
• Shiyu gave Yuan Lang books to study and encouraged him to prepare for the trials before leaving the God of War Inheritance Ground.
• Shiyu decided not to search for a Time Spirit yet and set off northwest for the City of Slaughter.

Shiyu reached the City of Slaughter, killed the tavern patrons and its owner, and entered the underground passage after drinking Bloody Mary. At the city gates, he used his Spatial Power to stop a knight’s spear, and the knight offered him a token instead of fighting.

• Shiyu found the tavern entrance and learned he had to kill the patrons or drink Bloody Mary to enter the City of Slaughter.
• Shiyu killed the tavern’s patrons with his Eight Spider Lances and Teleportation ability.
• Shiyu drank Bloody Mary, then killed the tavern owner when she tried to stab him.
• Shiyu discovered the passage beneath the tavern and followed it into the City of Slaughter.
• A group of riders approached Shiyu, and he used his Spatial Power to stop the knight’s spear.
• The knight gave Shiyu a token to enter the city rather than challenge him.

Shiyu entered the City of Slaughter and won his first Hell Slaughter Arena match by defeating all nine opponents with his physical strength and Teleportation. After explaining that Teleportation was a basic ability of his space Martial Soul, he asked the arena official to arrange more matches for him.

• Shiyu accepted a token from the knight, entered the City of Slaughter, and asked his guide to take him to the Hell Slaughter Arena.
• Shiyu learned that challengers could fight without a daily match limit and that entering the arena ended the protection period for newcomers.
• After watching several bloody matches, Shiyu registered and waited more than three hours for his turn.
• When the ten-person match began, Shiyu killed a Soul Emperor with one punch and used Teleportation to defeat the other eight opponents who joined forces against him.
• The arena official questioned whether Shiyu had used a Soul Skill, and Shiyu explained that Teleportation was a basic ability of his space Martial Soul.
• Shiyu asked the official to make an exception and arrange more matches for him.

Shiyu entered the Slaughter Arena and deliberately made himself appear exhausted so more opponents would keep challenging him. After winning twenty-six consecutive matches, he revealed his Eight Spider Lances Soul Bone to survive another coordinated attack, drawing shock and greed from the spectators.

• Shiyu persuaded the Slaughter Arena's manager to arrange continuous matches and fought successive groups of nine opponents while making his Teleportation appear increasingly weak.
• After winning fifteen matches, Shiyu continued fighting under pressure from the manager and reached twenty-six consecutive victories.
• Shiyu concealed his strength by suppressing his healing and drawing his blood back into his body with the Power of Space, encouraging challengers to believe he was near defeat.
• The Slaughter Arena's manager doubled the reward and sent another nine opponents after Shiyu, while ordering reinforcements to be gathered from the city.
• Shiyu struggled against the attackers, revealed his Eight Spider Lances Soul Bone, and killed the nine opponents as spectators reacted with shock and greed.
