Chapter Summaries

Shiyu fought continuously in the Slaughter Arena, using his exhaustion as bait while the Slaughter King watched and raised the stakes. After reaching ninety-nine victories in about thirty-five hours, Shiyu faced nine powerful opponents for his hundredth win and stopped pretending to be weak.

• Shiyu fought for more than ten hours, reached sixty consecutive victories, and drew the Slaughter King's attention.
• Shiyu taunted the hesitant crowd, prompting more criminals to challenge him until he reached ninety victories.
• Shiyu defeated nine more opponents, including a Soul Douluo, bringing his record to ninety-nine wins.
• The Slaughter King offered permanent protection and unlimited Bloody Agate to whoever won the next match, drawing nine powerful opponents into the arena.
• Shiyu straightened up and revealed he had been acting weak as the nine opponents launched their attack.

After winning one hundred matches in the Slaughter Arena, Shiyu met the Slaughter King, Tang Chen, and secured permission to attempt the Hell Road. The next day, Tang Chen opened the road for him, beginning Shiyu’s trial.

• Shiyu used Teleportation, poison, and the Eight Spider Lances to kill seven Soul Douluo and two Spirit Saints after a half-hour battle.
• Shiyu achieved one hundred victories in less than two days, stunning the crowd and the Slaughter King.
• Tang Chen invited Shiyu to remain in the City of Slaughter, but Shiyu asked about receiving the Asura God's trial and revealed his War God's Red Tier Trial mark.
• Tang Chen accepted Shiyu's explanation and told him to pass the Hell Road first, and Shiyu arranged to attempt it the next morning.
• Shiyu rested, woke with four hours left on his seven-day limit, and hurried to Tang Chen, who opened the Hell Road for him.

Shiyu fought his way along the Hell Road, defeating the Ten Headed Fierce Yang Serpent as he sought its valuable inner core. A Blood Red Nine-Headed Bat King then arrived, and Shiyu decided to fight it rather than retreat, while the Slaughter King anticipated that its descendant would possess Shiyu.

• Shiyu entered the Hell Road and used Teleportation to evade its monsters as the blood-tainted energy began to affect his mood.
• Shiyu spotted the Ten Headed Fierce Yang Serpent and attacked it, repeatedly stabbing it with his Eight Spider Lances to inject venom and drain its life essence.
• A swarm of bats arrived alongside a Blood Red Nine-Headed Bat King, which Shiyu recognized as a formidable threat.
• The Slaughter King watched from his palace and revealed that he had been possessed by a Blood-Red Nine-Headed Bat more than a hundred years earlier and expected its descendant to take over Shiyu.
• Shiyu considered retreating but chose to kill the Blood Red Nine-Headed Bat King, hoping to claim whatever valuable remains it left behind.

Shiyu used the God-tier Mecha to hold off the Blood Red Nine-Headed Bat King while he killed the Ten Headed Fierce Yang Serpent and searched for its inner core. The Slaughter King tried to enter Hell Road to help, but the God’s rule prevented him from crossing it again.

• Shiyu released the God-tier Mecha, which wounded the Blood Red Nine-Headed Bat King and resisted its bats, poison, and sonic attacks.
• Shiyu attacked the Ten Headed Fierce Yang Serpent with his Eight Spider Lances and Dark Gold Dreadclaw, killing it as it tried to flee.
• Shiyu dug into the Ten Headed Fierce Yang Serpent and searched its gallbladder for the inner core while Dark Gold Bats swarmed his Domain Space.
• The God-tier Mecha severed several of the Blood Red Nine-Headed Bat King's heads and prevented it from reaching Shiyu or escaping.
• The Slaughter King heard the Blood Red Nine-Headed Bat King's cries and rushed to Hell Road, but the God’s rule kept him from entering again.

Shiyu escaped Hell Road with the inner cores of the Ten Headed Fierce Yang Serpent and the Blood Red Nine-Headed Bat King, then obtained the Divine Slaughter's Domain. The Slaughter King pursued him into the outside world, and Shiyu kept fleeing, hoping to survive until his return time.

• Shiyu found an inner core in the Ten Headed Fierce Yang Serpent and took it, then used his Precognition Ability to avoid touching the Blood Red Nine-Headed Bat King's possibly parasitized inner core and took its corpse as well.
• The Slaughter King failed to enter Hell Road and decided to wait at its exit while Shiyu hurried toward it.
• Shiyu teleported through the remaining dangers, left Hell Road, and underwent the process of obtaining the Divine Slaughter's Domain.
• Shiyu fled through the daylight, and the Slaughter King arrived shortly after, detected his lingering aura, and chased after him.
• Shiyu sensed the Slaughter King's pursuit and continued running, hoping to get far enough away before his return time arrived.

Shiyu returned from the past to the ocean near Douluo Continent, but a mysterious backlash for changing history trapped him beneath a deadly lightning assault. Severely injured and unable to escape, he used Life Evergreen and stabbed the Gold of Life into his abdomen to keep himself alive.

• The Slaughter King abandoned his pursuit of Shiyu, who continued running to the continent's western edge and returned through the Space-Time Tunnel.
• Shiyu used his bloodline connection with the Bimon Beast to locate Douluo Continent and concluded that he was in the sea southeast of it.
• A storm formed around Shiyu, and the area's space rejected his attempts to teleport away as lightning struck him.
• Shiyu suspected the lightning was backlash for changing history and endured repeated strikes with his Domain Space, Eight Spider Lances, and Dragon Scale.
• Shiyu swallowed Life Evergreen and stabbed the Gold of Life into his abdomen when his injuries overwhelmed his body's vitality.

Shiyu survived a brutal lightning backlash by fusing his time and space powers into a Time-Space Rift, then recovered with the help of Life Evergreen and the Gold of Life. After waking a week later, he discovered that his body, recovery ability, and soul bones had grown stronger.

• Shiyu absorbed the Gold of Life to endure the pain and lightning while regaining control of his time and space powers.
• Shiyu fused his time and space abilities into a Time-Space Rift that absorbed the lightning and sent it into Outer Space, but it eventually vanished.
• Shiyu endured the final lightning strikes, collapsed, and was caught by his God-tier Mecha before he fell into the sea.
• Shiyu woke after a week and found that Life Evergreen and the Gold of Life had healed his injuries and greatly increased his strength and recovery.
• Shiyu discovered that his Dark Gold Dreadclaw could crumble metal into particles and that Divine Slaughter's Domain had raised the age of his Eight Spider Lances Soul Bone to over eighty thousand years.

Shiyu tested Divine Slaughter's Domain and used history books to learn how his changes had affected the future. The records showed Yuan Lang became the War God, while Bibi Dong ascended earlier but still met the same final outcome.

• Shiyu released Divine Slaughter's Domain, sensed its power to strengthen him and suppress enemies, and suspected that altering history had triggered the Heavenly Punishment.
• Shiyu read the history books and found that Yuan Lang had become the War God while Dai Mubai had never received the inheritance.
• Shiyu learned that the Body Sect had flourished under Yuan Lang but remained in conflict with Shrek Academy and the Tang Sect, and that Dugu Bo had still fallen victim to Tang San's revenge.
• Shiyu discovered that Dai Mubai had died of old age, and found a historical account of a masked attacker who killed Zhao Wujin without naming him.
• Shiyu confirmed that Bibi Dong became a God two or three years earlier than in the original history, though her final outcome remained unchanged.

Shiyu reflected on how changing the past had affected the future and decided to postpone using the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud. He traveled to the Star Luo Empire to find the Bimon Beast, where he arrived as it fought another powerful Spirit Beast.

• Shiyu concluded that changing events tied to Deities, especially those involving Tang San, could bring severe consequences.
• Shiyu decided to wait until ten thousand years in the future to fuse with the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud and postponed absorbing two Spirit Beast inner cores.
• Shiyu flew across the ocean in his God-tier Mecha, then used Teleportation to follow his bloodline resonance toward the Bimon Beast.
• Shiyu sensed a battle between Top-Tier Spirit Beasts and hurried toward it, recognizing the Bimon Beast's power.
• The Bimon Beast's ape-like opponent gained the upper hand, but both fighters turned toward Shiyu's direction when they sensed someone approaching.

Shiyu reunited with Little Gold and Worshipper King Kong after nearly ten thousand years and explained that he had spent the time frozen in the Mysterious Ice Coffin. Little Gold learned why Shiyu had been gone and revealed that he had grown strong enough to rival a Limit Douluo-level Spirit Beast.

• Shiyu appeared before Little Gold and Worshipper King Kong, and Little Gold rushed over before shrinking down to embrace him.
• Little Gold angrily pounded Shiyu for breaking his promise to return, then demanded an explanation.
• Shiyu told Little Gold and Worshipper King Kong how his clan had been attacked, how he had been sealed in the Mysterious Ice Coffin, and how his family and friends had died during the ten thousand years he slept.
• Little Gold comforted Shiyu and offered to kill his enemies, but Shiyu explained they had already died; Worshipper King Kong urged him to look ahead.
• Shiyu asked about Little Gold's strength, and Little Gold proudly claimed that few Spirit Beasts could surpass him, showing that he could likely defeat Worshipper King Kong.

Shiyu learned that Little Gold was still unable to enter his Maturity Period and heard how Yuan Lang inherited the War God position despite Tang San nearly killing him. King Kong contacted the War God, and Yuan Lang’s voice answered from the God Realm.

• Shiyu asked Little Gold about his strength, and Little Gold explained that his Bimon Beast growth could not be measured in Spirit Beast cultivation years.
• King Kong said Little Gold should have entered his Maturity Period long ago but was being held back by a restriction he could not overcome.
• King Kong told Shiyu that Yuan Lang had inherited the War God position, searched for him for fifty years, and later ascended to the God Realm.

• The War God Statue shone, and Yuan Lang answered King Kong through it.

Shiyu reunited with Yuan Lang through the War God Statue and discussed Yuan Lang’s life in the God Realm, Tang San, and the First Generation Angel God. Yuan Lang offered to pass on his Godhood and later said he could obtain stored God-Bestowed Soul Rings for Shiyu.

• King Kong told Yuan Lang that Shiyu had arrived, and Yuan Lang formed a phantom through the War God Statue to greet his Big Brother.
• Shiyu told Yuan Lang how he had survived after leaving the War God Heritage Site, and Yuan Lang expressed anger at those who had nearly killed him.

• Yuan Lang explained that he could not create God-Bestowed Soul Rings himself but could seek stored rings in the God Realm and send them to Shiyu.

Shiyu arranged to receive two more God-Bestowed Soul Rings from Yuan Lang, who left King Kong to protect him. Shiyu and King Kong departed together, while Shiyu considered how to manage his ties to Shrek Academy and the Body Sect.

• Shiyu asked Yuan Lang for two God-Bestowed Soul Rings, and Yuan Lang promised to find a way to get them.

• Shiyu and King Kong left the God of War Inheritance Ground, and Shiyu told King Kong about his place at Shrek Academy and warned him not to mention the War God.
• Little Gold questioned how Shiyu would handle the factions' tangled relationships, and Shiyu reflected on his conflicts with Shrek Academy and the Body Sect.
• Shiyu decided to repay Shrek Academy by stealing things for it in the Sun Moon Empire before graduating, while keeping his ties to the academy limited.

• Shiyu used his teleportation ability to take King Kong and Little Gold to Shrek Academy, where he registered King Kong as an elder.

• Shiyu reassured them that King Kong meant no harm and introduced him as his uncle to Mu En and the academy’s leaders.
• Mu En welcomed King Kong and asked Shiyu to push his wheelchair while they toured the academy together.
• After the three walked away, Yan Shaozhe said Shiyu seemed to have reached the mid-fifties in Soul Power, astonishing Xuan Zi and the others.

Shiyu returned to Shrek Academy with King Kong, whose identity as a Great Vajra Ape Mu En recognized. Mu En welcomed King Kong and tried to persuade Shiyu to inherit the Sea God Pavilion Master position, but Shiyu declined and explained his sudden cultivation growth with a prepared story about ruins and a rare treasure.

• Elder Song suspected Shiyu might have become an Evil Soul Master, but Xuan Zi said Mu En would have noticed if that were true.
• Mu En asked whether King Kong was human, and King Kong admitted he was a Great Vajra Ape; Mu En welcomed him as an honored guest so long as he followed human rules.
• King Kong said he would likely leave with Shiyu after graduation, and Mu En proposed that Shiyu eventually succeed him as Sea God Pavilion Master.
• Shiyu refused the position, saying he wanted a free life rather than managing the academy, despite Mu En suggesting Lexuan, Ma Xiaotao, and Jiang Nannan could help.
• Shiyu claimed a rare plant from ruins had raised his cultivation and that he later obtained his Fifth Soul Ring; King Kong said a Deity might have created the ruins' barrier but refused to reveal their location.

After returning to Shrek Academy, Shiyu reunited with Jiang Nannan, Zhang Lexuan, and Ma Xiaotao, who learned that he had become a Soul King. A month later, Sun Moon Royal Academy requested that their student exchange happen within a month, leaving Shiyu to wonder whether the Soul Guiding Shield he had used in Death Canyon had caused the change.

• Jiang Nannan reunited with Shiyu and went to his room to hear about his travels; Zhang Lexuan and Ma Xiaotao joined them and were astonished to learn he had become a Soul King.
• Shiyu resumed his studies at Shrek Academy and focused on improving his theoretical knowledge.
• A month later, Mu En and Yan Shaozhe told Shiyu that Sun Moon Royal Academy's dean had asked to move the student exchange forward and complete it within a month.
• Shiyu suspected that the Soul Guiding Shield he had used in Death Canyon might have prompted the Sun Moon Empire's sudden request.

Shiyu and the Shrek Academy leaders agreed to move up the exchange with the Sun Moon Empire, and Shiyu prepared to travel to Mingde Hall to obtain Soul Tool Technology. The chapter ended as Shiyu and nine others gathered at the academy gates to leave for the exchange.

• Jing Hochen arrived and apologized to Xuan Zi for the academy's unprepared reception, while Xuan Zi assessed the strength of his entourage.
