Chapter Summaries

Shrek's elders began hunting Tang San while Huo Yuhao abandoned his fruitless stakeout, brought a Blue Silver Emperor back for Tang Ya, and used Cosmos Creation Pills to strengthen his companions. Zhang Lexuan prepared to break through to Ultimate Douluo, while Xu San Shi's gratitude toward Huo Yuhao turned into awkward matchmaking hints.

• Mu En joined the hunt for Tang San, and Shrek restricted the search to powerful Sea God Pavilion Elders.
• After waiting a week for Tang San at the Blue Silver Emperor's location, Huo Yuhao brought the Soul Beast to the Undead Demiplane for Tang Ya.
• Huo Yuhao gave Zhang Lexuan the remaining Cosmos Creation Pill medicine, and she playfully insisted that he feed it to her mouth-to-mouth.
• Cosmos Creation Pills raised the cultivation of Huo Yuhao's companions, with Qiu'er, Wang Dong'er, and Zhang Lexuan reaching Level Ninety-Eight and Zhang Lexuan preparing to condense her second Soul Core.
• Tang Ya advanced to Level Seventy-Nine, while Ma Xiaotao, Ling Luochen, Ye Guyi, and others also gained cultivation breakthroughs from the pills.
• Xu San Shi reached Level Seventy-Seven with a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Spirit and hinted that Huo Yuhao should pursue his mother, but Huo Yuhao politely declined.

Huo Yuhao and Zhang Lexuan tested whether dual cultivation could help her absorb medicinal power, and she condensed her Second Soul Core before they returned home. Ye Guyi then told Huo Yuhao that Jialing Pass might hold something suitable for her Ninth Soul Ring.

• Ye Guyi said that Jialing Pass might contain something suitable for her.

Ye Guyi asked Huo Yuhao to accompany her to Jialing Pass in search of Angel God Qian Renxue’s legacy, and he agreed after teasing her about her feelings. Huo Yuhao planned to travel with Gu Yue Na to the Sun Moon Empire for his Eighth Soul Ring, then face a powerful Dragon King in the Jingyang Mountain Range, while Gu Yue Na reflected that her gamble on him had succeeded and claimed him as her return on investment.

• Ye Guyi told Huo Yuhao she wanted to visit Jialing Pass to seek something that could strengthen her Sacred Angel Martial Soul, and he agreed to go with her after she consolidated her cultivation.

• Gu Yue Na said Huo Yuhao was the return on her investment and claimed that he should belong entirely to her.

Huo Yuhao tested his upgraded Wind Coat against Wang Dong'er and Qiu'er, whose improved teamwork and divine skills briefly overcame his defenses. Their combined attack damaged the coat but failed to injure him, and he ended the spar nearly unscathed.

• Wang Dong'er and Qiu'er challenged Huo Yuhao to test their strength after advancing to Level Ninety-Nine and Ultimate Douluo, with Qiu'er becoming the first three-Soul-Core Ultimate Douluo of this lifetime.
• Huo Yuhao activated his Spirit Eye Martial Soul and Wind Coat, then caught Wang Dong'er's Golden Trident strike without being hurt.
• Qiu'er used her Gravity Domain to strengthen their assault, and she and Wang Dong'er coordinated their weapons to force Huo Yuhao back and numb one of his arms.
• Wang Dong'er bound Huo Yuhao with Azure Silver Dragon Entanglement of Tenacity while Qiu'er used Sorrow of the Golden Dragon to weaken his defenses.
• Wang Dong'er and Qiu'er struck Huo Yuhao together, punching a fist-sized hole in his Wind Coat, but Dragon Scales beneath it protected him from injury.

Huo Yuhao explained why he avoided using the Sin Karma Scythe, whose ability to extract desire could leave victims without the will to live. After discussing his upcoming journey with his family, he learned Zhu Lu had reached the requirement for the Cosmos Creation Pill, and she asked him to help her absorb it that night.

• After their sparring match, Huo Yuhao told Wang Dong'er and Qiu'er that the Sin Karma Scythe could permanently grow stronger by harvesting desire and might leave victims unable to eat or survive.
• Huo Yuhao said he could not yet control the scythe's ability, and explained that Gu Yue Na had recovered from its effects in less than half a day.
• Two days later, Huo Yuhao told Huo Yun'er that he planned a long trip and that Gu Yue Na and Ye Guyi would accompany him.
• Huo Yuhao recalled how Xu Jiujiu bonded with the Star Luo Spirit Pearl and how Jiang Nannan chose the Aromatic Silk Beauty and Eight-Petaled Immortal Orchid combination.
• In the kitchen, Huo Yuhao filled Zhu Lu's bowl with rice, and she told him her cultivation had reached the Cosmos Creation Pill requirement and asked him to help her absorb it that night.

Huo Yuhao visited Zhu Lu to help her absorb the Cosmos Creation Pill, and their treatment turned intimate after she welcomed his advances. Outside the room, Xiao Xiao, Wang Dong'er, Nan Qiuqiu, Jiang Nannan, and Tang Ya eavesdropped and discovered that several of them had received similar help; Huo Yuhao then blocked the sounds as Zhu Lu agreed to continue.

• Huo Yuhao left his room and went to Zhu Lu's room while Xiao Xiao, Wang Dong'er, and Nan Qiuqiu gathered outside to listen.
• Zhu Lu finished bathing, dressed in lingerie, and invited Huo Yuhao to sit beside her as she prepared to absorb the pill.
• Huo Yuhao kissed Zhu Lu, and she asked him to help her absorb the medicine as he had helped Nan Nannan-jie.
• The eavesdroppers overheard Zhu Lu mention Nan Nannan-jie, prompting Jiang Nannan and Tang Ya to admit Huo Yuhao had helped them absorb pills in the same way.
• Mother Jiang found the group outside Zhu Lu's room, and Jiang Nannan told her they had come to speak with Zhu Lu before everyone dispersed.
• Huo Yuhao sealed the room against sound, and Zhu Lu drank the medicinal liquid and invited him to proceed.

Huo Yuhao, Ye Guyi, and Gu Yue Na explored Jialing Pass and reached a protected patch of life surrounding Qian Renxue’s damaged Angel Holy Sword. Huo Yuhao identified the Rakshasa God’s lingering presence and addressed her, prompting her to order the outsiders to leave.

• Huo Yuhao used his Spirit Eye to survey Jialing Pass, then protected himself and his companions from its poisonous miasma and life-eroding energy with his Eternal Frozen Domain.
• As they searched the ruins, Ye Guyi recovered a partially eroded Left Leg Bone, and the group found two more Soul Bones that Huo Yuhao planned to use as rewards for the Holy Spirit Church.
• Huo Yuhao led Ye Guyi and Gu Yue Na to a golden barrier surrounding thriving grass and flowers, where they found a cracked white longsword identified as Qian Renxue’s divine artifact.
• Gu Yue Na and Huo Yuhao reasoned that the Rakshasa God’s power was protecting the Angel Holy Sword, and Huo Yuhao explained that a Deity’s Divine Soul could linger after death.
• Huo Yuhao addressed the Rakshasa God, and a cold voice ordered the outsiders to leave.

Huo Yuhao negotiated with Bibidong for the Angel Holy Sword and its shattered Godhood, offering her a chance to join his struggle against Tang San. Bibidong agreed to consider the deal and offered her Rakshasa inheritance too, while Huo Yuhao planned to pass that Godhood to another companion.

• Huo Yuhao exposed Bibidong's weakened state and explained that she had bound her Divine Soul to the Rakshasa Demon Scythe to protect Qian Renxue's Angel Holy Sword.
• Huo Yuhao revealed Ye Guyi's Sacred Angel Martial Soul and demanded the Angel Holy Sword, but Bibidong threatened to destroy it rather than let him take it by force.
• Huo Yuhao demonstrated that his Plane Seed could preserve the Angel Godhood even if the sword were destroyed, then argued that Bibidong could choose to aid him instead of fading away as a remnant of history.
• Bibidong asked Huo Yuhao to state his terms, and he proposed joining forces against Tang San.
• Huo Yuhao showed Bibidong the transformed Sin Karma Scythe, which had once been Tang San's Trident, and she agreed to pass on her Rakshasa Godhood inheritance as well.
• Bibidong warned that Tang San's Asura Godhood would suppress anyone who inherited her inferior Rakshasa Authority of Slaughter, and Huo Yuhao said he could reserve the inheritance for another companion.

Huo Yuhao arranged for Ye Xishui to inherit Bibidong’s Rakshasa Godhood while he pursued the Angel Godhood fragments in the Angel Holy Sword for Ye Guyi. The chapter ended with Bibidong beginning Ye Xishui’s inheritance ritual.

• Bibidong changed her mind about passing down the Rakshasa Godhood until Huo Yuhao proved he could defeat Tang San, then explained that an inheritor could carry her while she remained inside the Rakshasa Demon Scythe.
• Huo Yuhao decided Ye Xishui qualified as an evil and talented inheritor, and brought her to meet Bibidong.
• Bibidong confirmed Ye Xishui barely met the requirements, and Huo Yuhao explained that godhood would restore Ye Xishui’s lost body and make her a Deity.
• Bibidong allowed Huo Yuhao to take Ye Guyi and Gu Yue Na through the barrier to the Angel Holy Sword, which he hoped to use to restore the Angel Godhood for Ye Guyi.
• Bibidong handed the Rakshasa Demon Scythe to Ye Xishui and began the godhood inheritance ritual.

Huo Yuhao helped Orange absorb the Cosmos Creation Pill, then met with Ke Ke, Jing Ziyan, Ji Juechen, Meng Hongchen, and Xiao Hongchen to give them cultivation medicine and Ji Juechen a new sword. The group began preparing to take the medicine while Ji Juechen accepted the weapon.

• Huo Yuhao carried Orange from the study to the bedroom, teasing her on the stairs before helping her absorb the Cosmos Creation Pill and leaving her to sleep.
• Huo Yuhao arrived at the Reception Hall, where Ke Ke, Jing Ziyan, Ji Juechen, Meng Hongchen, and Xiao Hongchen were waiting.
• Meng Hongchen scolded Huo Yuhao for not visiting Mingdu sooner, and Xiao Hongchen teased her about how excited she had been when she heard Huo Yuhao was there.
• Huo Yuhao gave the group Crystal Vials of medicine that could boost cultivation and cleanse their meridians and marrow.
• Huo Yuhao presented Ji Juechen with a massive sword that became exceptionally sharp when infused with Soul Power, and Ji Juechen accepted it gratefully.

After preparing to leave Mingdu, Huo Yuhao and Gu Yue Na headed for the Fiend Forest to seek the Evil Emperor. Huo Yuhao challenged him directly, recalling their earlier encounter in the Star Dou Great Forest.

• Huo Yuhao returned to the Branch Altar, where Gu Yue Na teased him about spending the night with Meng Hongchen before eagerly eating the food he brought.
• Huo Yuhao explained that the others had benefited from the Cosmos Creation Pill, with Meng Hongchen nearing Soul Douluo and Ke Ke gaining the potential to advance much further.
• Huo Yuhao had left a strand of Spiritual Power in Bibidong before departing Jialing Pass with Gu Yue Na, so he could locate or harm her if needed.
• Huo Yuhao and Gu Yue Na arrived at the Fiend Forest, where the Evil Emperor had been terrorizing the Soul Beasts after his human worshippers abandoned their sacrifices.
• Huo Yuhao called out to the Evil Emperor and challenged him to come out and fight.

Skydream Iceworm confronted Evil Emperor and revealed that he had reached Divine Official level, defeating him with Soul Impact and Life Reflection Shield. As Huo Yuhao and Gu Yue Na arrived, Evil Emperor was injured but intrigued by the offer of a chance to become a Deity.

• Skydream Iceworm provoked Evil Emperor into emerging from beneath the Fiend Forest and challenging him.
• Skydream Iceworm split Evil Emperor's Light of Destruction with Soul Impact and used his strength to convince Evil Emperor he had grown through years of hardship.
• Evil Emperor unleashed the Light of Time and Space, but Skydream Iceworm's Life Reflection Shield reflected the attack and restored his life force while severely weakening Evil Emperor.
• Skydream Iceworm revealed his Divine Official aura and offered Evil Emperor an opportunity to become nearly as strong as him.
• Huo Yuhao and Gu Yue Na arrived, and Evil Emperor reacted with suspicion when he saw the two humans.

Huo Yuhao persuaded the Evil Emperor to become his Soul Spirit by showing him that Skydream and the Snow Empress had become Divine Officials through the same method. As Huo Yuhao began preparing the ritual, the Evil Emperor revealed that a terrifying force in the Jingyang Mountain Range amplified soul beasts’ Thunder Tribulations, and Huo Yuhao and Gu Yue Na identified its source as the Ancestor of the Sub-dragons.

• Huo Yuhao showed the Evil Emperor that the Snow Empress had also become a Divine Official as his Soul Spirit, then explained why he wanted to test the method on a powerful soul beast.
• The Evil Emperor agreed to become Huo Yuhao’s Soul Spirit, and Huo Yuhao began forming a ritual around him.
• The Evil Emperor said he lived in Fiend Forest because something at the center of the Jingyang Mountain Range greatly increased the power of Thunder Tribulations.
• The Evil Emperor explained that he had kept the danger secret from other soul beasts to protect his position and had sent a clansman to investigate the purple, thunder-filled region.
• Huo Yuhao connected the purple energy and thunder to Destruction Power, and Gu Yue Na identified the being as the Ancestor of the Sub-dragons, whom the Dragon God had slain.

Huo Yuhao prepared to absorb the Evil Emperor’s power and pursue the Dragon King’s remnant in the Jingyang Mountain Range, while Tang San’s companions secretly descended to the Douluo Plane to investigate Ning Rongrong’s murder. The God of Destruction chose to let them cause more trouble before intervening and ordered the Emotion God to descend as a witness.

• The Evil Emperor explained that the Purple Emperor Heaven Destruction Dragons were nearly wiped out after many died to enhanced heavenly tribulations and the survivors were hunted by other soul beasts; Huo Yuhao still decided to investigate the Jingyang Mountain Range.
• Huo Yuhao began a ritual to obtain the Evil Eye Soul Bone, planning to use it to strengthen A'lu's soul bone and advance the Eye of Destiny.
• Ma Hongjun, Dai Mubai, Oscar, Zhu Zhuqing, Tang Hao, Tang Chen, and Posey discussed how to find Ning Rongrong’s murderer and split up to gather information across the Douluo Plane.
• The God of Destruction learned that Tang San’s companions had secretly descended and decided to wait until they committed more serious violations before arresting them.
• The God of Destruction ordered the God of Arrogance to hurry the Emotion God into descending so he could witness Tang San’s companions’ actions.

Huo Yuhao used the newly evolved Eye of Destiny to stabilize his dual Soul Cores and complete the fusion with Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass. At Shrek, Wang Dong'er met a mysterious woman who recognized her as Xiao Qi, but Wang Dong'er did not know who she was.

• Gu Yue Na watched Huo Yuhao struggle to form his Ultimate Ice Second Soul Core as Ice Empress and Xiao Bai's powers merged into it.
• Huo Yuhao's Eye of Destiny evolved into a Super Divine Artifact, allowing him to stabilize both Soul Cores and continue fusing with Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass.
• Wang Dong'er congratulated Qiu Qiu on reaching rank sixty and reassured Xiao Xiao that she might replace her low-quality Soul Ring after reaching Soul Saint.
• Wang Dong'er and Xiao Xiao joked about Huo Yuhao before Zhu Lu told Wang Dong'er that an unfamiliar woman who resembled her was waiting at the academy gates.
• Wang Dong'er met the woman in the Reception Hall, where the stranger tearfully called her Xiao Qi, leaving Wang Dong'er confused and wary.

Wang Dong'er rejected Xiao Wu’s attempt to bring her back to the Divine Realm, confronting her about the erased memories and the harm caused by Tang San, Da Ming, and Er Ming. When Ma Hongjun discovered Shrek Academy had defaced the First Generation Shrek Seven Devils’ statues and branded Tang San an Evil Soul Master, he erupted in anger, drawing Wang Dong'er outside.

• Wang Dong'er told Xiao Wu that her memory seal had already been erased and refused to return to the Divine Realm or recover her lost memories.
• Xiao Wu apologized and embraced Wang Dong'er, but Wang Dong'er pulled away and held her Trident to Xiao Wu’s throat after hearing Ma Hongjun angrily denounce Shrek Academy outside.
• Ma Hongjun arrived at Shrek Academy, revealed his overwhelming Soul Ring configuration, and asked to meet whoever held the academy’s highest authority.
• A teacher told Ma Hongjun that the academy considered Tang San an Evil Soul Master and had made damaging the First Generation Shrek Seven Devils’ statues a student assessment.
• Ma Hongjun condemned the treatment of the statues, and Wang Dong'er left Xiao Wu to investigate the commotion.

Wang Dong'er joined Zhang Lexuan, Qiu'er, and Di Tian as they confronted Ma Hongjun, who had come to Shrek Academy over the damaged statues and demanded answers about Qiankun Valley of Questioning Love. After Ma Hongjun threatened Shrek and realized the group knew something about Tang San's alleged crimes, Qiu'er led the others into battle, hoping to exploit his suppressed strength.

• Wang Dong'er arrived above Shrek Academy and learned that Ma Hongjun had flown into a rage after seeing the damaged statues.
• Ma Hongjun recognized Wang Dong'er as Xiao Qi and decided he might forcibly take her back to the Divine Realm, but she insisted her name was Wang Dong'er.
• Ma Hongjun demanded that Zhang Lexuan explain Qiankun Valley of Questioning Love and restore the statues, threatening to punish Shrek if she refused.
• Ma Hongjun suspected the group's reaction was connected to the claim that Tang San was an Evil Soul Master, and Qiu'er pressured him before ordering her companions to attack.
• Qiu'er and Di Tian charged Ma Hongjun, and Qiu'er struck with her Golden Dragon Spear, but Ma Hongjun caught it in his flaming palm.

Qiu'er, Di Tian, Zhang Lexuan, and Wang Dong'er combined their powers and the Spirit Pagoda's immense energy to freeze and destroy Ma Hongjun. Ma Hongjun revived through Nirvana, unharmed, and faced them again with overwhelming pressure.

• Qiu'er and Di Tian attacked Ma Hongjun, while Wang Dong'er shielded them with Sea God's Light and Zhang Lexuan struck him with a deathly blade.
• Di Tian transformed into his true form and used space-rending power to halt Ma Hongjun's Phoenix Flame, while Zhang Lexuan revealed that Ma Xiaotao and Ling Luochen were preparing support from the Spirit Pagoda.
• Ma Xiaotao and Ling Luochen activated the Spirit Pagoda, drawing energy from its foundation and the surrounding area to unleash a massive icy pillar at Ma Hongjun.
• Wang Dong'er restrained Ma Hongjun long enough for the Spirit Pagoda's attack to freeze him, and Qiu'er, Di Tian, Zhang Lexuan, and Wang Dong'er shattered his frozen body with their strongest attacks.
• Ma Hongjun reappeared from the flames unharmed and revealed that he had used Nirvana.

Ma Hongjun threatened to destroy Shrek City unless Zhang Lexuan revealed what she knew about Qiankun Valley of Questioning Love, but Xiao Wu intervened to protect Wang Dong'er. Huo Yuhao arrived, overpowered Ma Hongjun, and crushed his head, while Xiao Wu was left stunned after Huo Yuhao called her his mother-in-law.

• Ma Hongjun suppressed Qiu'er, Zhang Lexuan, Wang Dong'er, and their companions, then threatened to bury Shrek City unless they told him about Qiankun Valley of Questioning Love.
• Ma Hongjun attacked Wang Dong'er, but Xiao Wu appeared with the Asura Demon Sword and stopped him, insisting that she would not let him harm her daughter.
• Xiao Wu refused Ma Hongjun's demand to stand aside, and Huo Yuhao appeared, extinguished the descending sea of flames with his Ultimate Ice, and revealed that he was the one who had killed Ning Rongrong.
• Huo Yuhao seized Ma Hongjun and overwhelmed him with his divine Ice Emperor's Arm, declaring that he would make him suffer through repeated deaths.
• Huo Yuhao refused Xiao Wu's plea to release Ma Hongjun, called her his mother-in-law, and crushed Ma Hongjun's head.

Huo Yuhao tortured the reborn Ma Hongjun for information about the Deities who had descended, then left to pursue Dai Mubai. Xiao Wu said goodbye to Wang Dong'er and returned to face punishment, while their relationship showed signs of softening.

• Huo Yuhao killed Ma Hongjun, who revived through Nirvana, and Xiao Wu asked about his relationship with Wang Dong'er and his reasons for attacking Ning Rongrong.
• Xiao Wu inferred that Da Ming had sacrificed himself calmly and told Huo Yuhao she would support her daughter's choice, while he revealed that Ning Rongrong was alive but useful to him.
• Huo Yuhao repeatedly froze and shattered Ma Hongjun's limbs and head, but Ma Hongjun refused to reveal where his companions were.
• Huo Yuhao reasoned that Dai Mubai and the other Seven Monsters had likely descended separately, then used Snow Lotus to torture Ma Hongjun while announcing he would seek Dai Mubai.
• Huo Yuhao left with Ma Hongjun through a Space Rift and warned Xiao Wu not to become his enemy.
• Xiao Wu told Wang Dong'er she would return to accept punishment, and Wang Dong'er invited her to stay; Xiao Wu then departed in a golden pillar of light after saying goodbye to her daughter.
