• Bo Saixi praised Zhou Chen's cultivation and asked about his ninth soul skill, and he answered, “Supreme One Transforms into One Qi, One Qi Transforms into Three Purities!”

• After half a day, Xiao Bai reached coastal waters where pirate ships were chasing a Star Luo Empire merchant vessel.
• A pirate identifying his group as the Purple Pearl Battle Group ordered the merchant ship to stop.

Zhou Chen intervened when the Purple Pearl Pirate Group attacked a Star Luo merchant ship, then learned that the pirates were based on Purple Pearl Island and that Vast Sea City’s lord had failed to act against them. He reached the island with Xiao Bai and planned to bring the pirate fleet under the Heaven Dou Empire rather than destroy it.

• Heidel and the Purple Pearl pirates boarded a Star Luo merchant ship and slaughtered its crew and guards.
• Zhou Chen and Xiao Bai sank the pirate ships and killed most of the pirates, capturing one Sea Soul Master to question him.
• The captive explained that the Purple Pearl Pirate Group had thousands of members, hundreds of Soul Masters, and a base on Purple Pearl Island under Captain Purple Pearl.
• Zhou Chen decided the negligent lord of Vast Sea City should be punished and ordered the captive to guide him to Purple Pearl Island.
• Zhou Chen and Xiao Bai reached the island, where Zhou Chen said he intended to make the pirates serve Empress Xue Ke and join the Heaven Dou Empire’s fleet.

Zhou Chen and Xiao Bai confronted the Purple Pearl Pirate Group, and Xiao Bai swiftly defeated Captain Purple Pearl. Zhou Chen chose to spare Purple Pearl after learning that she had aided poor fishing villages, leaving him intent on dealing with the pirates through recruitment rather than destruction.

• Zhou Chen told Xiao Bai he planned to absorb the Purple Pearl Pirate Group into the Heaven Dou Empire's fleet and make them swear loyalty to Empress Xue Ke.
• A surviving pirate warned the scouts that Xiao Bai had killed Heidel and his squad, prompting their leader to run for Purple Pearl.
• Purple Pearl arrived with thousands of pirates, but Xiao Bai blocked her Nine-Headed Viper Devour and immobilized her with the Sea God's Light.
• Zhou Chen confronted Purple Pearl about attacking merchant ships, and she defended herself by saying her pirates had been driven from their fishing villages by cruel nobles.
• An elderly pirate begged Zhou Chen to spare Purple Pearl, so Zhou Chen released her and said he rather liked the Dragon Slayer who fought injustice.

Zhou Chen persuaded Purple Pearl to bring her pirate group into the Tiandou Empire by challenging her belief that they stood for justice. In the City of Slaughter, Ma Hongjun began facing the Ten-Headed Fiery Sun Serpent to obtain the Inner Core that would become his Seventh Soul Ring.

• Zhou Chen revealed his identity to Purple Pearl and offered to spare her pirate group if it joined the Tiandou Empire.
• Zhou Chen told Purple Pearl a fable about dragon slayers becoming dragons, leading her to question the pirate group's actions and accept his offer.
• Purple Pearl and her pirates pledged loyalty to the Heaven Dou Imperial Family after Zhou Chen promised to settle their families.
• The Black-Robed Man led Ma Hongjun through the Hell Road and explained how the Ten-Headed Fiery Sun Serpent's Inner Core could become his Seventh Soul Ring.
• Ma Hongjun confronted the serpent, and after it attacked with a poisonous fiery ray, he countered with his First Soul Skill, Phoenix Fire Line.

Ma Hongjun defeated the Ten-Headed Fiery Sun Serpent and absorbed its Inner Core, transforming into a Nine-Headed Fire Phoenix and awakening a Phoenix Domain. As he and the Black-Robed Man stood on Hell Road, the Phoenix God appeared to seek someone worthy of inheriting her divine position.

• Ma Hongjun used his spirit abilities to defeat the Ten-Headed Fiery Sun Serpent and claim its Inner Core.
• At the Black-Robed Man's instruction, Ma Hongjun swallowed the Inner Core and cultivated as his Phoenix Flames subdued its energy.
• Ma Hongjun's body grew leaner, and he transformed into a Nine-Headed Fire Phoenix, gaining a Seventh Soul Ring and awakening the Phoenix Domain.
• Ma Hongjun returned to human form and celebrated his transformation before the Black-Robed Man told him to calm down.
• The Phoenix God appeared above Ma Hongjun and the Black-Robed Man, announcing that she had come to find someone worthy of inheriting her divine position.

The Phoenix God chose Ma Hongjun as her inheritor and began the Phoenix Nine Trials, unsettling the Black-Robed Man, who feared Ma Hongjun would eventually escape the Holy Spirit Church’s control. In the Frozen Forest, Oscar became a Soul Emperor after absorbing a Mirror Shadow Beast’s ring, then noticed a glow suggesting the beast held a soul bone.

• The Phoenix God offered Ma Hongjun her divine position, and he accepted the Phoenix Nine Trials, whose tasks included killing Heaven Dou and Shrek figures, aiding Spirit Hall, and becoming a Celestial God Hunter.
• The Black-Robed Man suspected the gods were targeting the Heaven Dou Empire and worried Ma Hongjun might break free of the Holy Spirit Church’s brainwashing as he advanced toward godhood.
• The Phoenix God revealed she had chosen Ma Hongjun to pass on her duties and send him to contact the White Tiger God, then vanished in flames.
• In the Frozen Forest, Oscar killed a twenty-thousand-year Mirror Shadow Beast and absorbed its soul ring, reaching Soul Emperor while feeling jealous of Ning Rongrong’s progress.
• Oscar spotted a faint glow in the dead Mirror Shadow Beast’s head that indicated it contained a soul bone, but he did not immediately retrieve it.

Oscar concluded that he could not claim the soul bone alone and would need Hao Te’s help to eliminate anyone else who contested it. The squad waited while Hao Te remained alert, but Oscar had not yet acted.

• Oscar recognized that the soul bone could provoke conflict and killing within the squad.
• Oscar decided he needed to join forces with Hao Te to defeat those who might contest the soul bone.
• Oscar observed the others waiting quietly as Hao Te stayed vigilant nearby.

Oscar received the Food God's inheritance and absorbed the Mirror Shadow Beast's head soul bone while Hao Te stood guard. At the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Fort, Ning Rongrong completed her Nine-Treasure True Body breakthrough, then a beam of nine-colored light descended onto her pagoda.

• A divine phantom appeared above Oscar, and the Food God told him he could begin the next stage of his inheritance after reaching Soul Power level 99.
• Oscar told Hao Te about the inheritance, and the two reaffirmed their brotherly bond before Oscar urged Hao Te to take the Mirror Shadow Beast's soul bone.
• Hao Te offered the head soul bone to Oscar, who accepted it and began absorbing it as Hao Te kept watch.
• Ning Rongrong's Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda manifested its Nine-Treasure True Body, delighting Ning Fengzhi, Sword Douluo Chen Xin, Bone Douluo Gu Rong, and the sect's Soul Masters.
• A thunderclap sounded above the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Fort, and a beam of Nine-Colored Light struck Ning Rongrong's pagoda, which blazed into a pillar of light.

The Nine-Colored Goddess offered Ning Rongrong a god position, but Rongrong refused because inheriting it required her to marry Oscar instead of Zhou Chen. Above Heaven Dou City, Yu Tianmeng confronted the Nine-Colored Goddess and Food God, revealing her god-level Sacred Sky Silver Wing Dou Armor and power to challenge first-class gods.

• The Nine-Colored Goddess appeared before Ning Rongrong, offered her a god position, and raised her Soul Power from Level 72 to Level 80.
• Ning Rongrong rejected the inheritance after learning the Nine-Colored Goddess required her to marry Oscar, the Food God's inheritor, and Ning Fengzhi and the two Douluo comforted her.
• In the stratosphere, the Nine-Colored Goddess and Food God discussed the God Realm Committee's plan to turn Ning Rongrong and other allies against Zhou Chen.
• Yu Tianmeng appeared behind the two gods, questioned their presence over Heaven Dou City, and challenged them to fight.
• Yu Tianmeng summoned her Six-Word Dou Armor, Sacred Sky Silver Wing, and her strength surged to a level capable of contending with a first-class god.

Yu Tianmeng forced the Food God and the Nine-Colored Goddess to surrender, while the God of Speed retreated to the God Realm. In Star Luo City, the War God agreed to choose an heir from the Evil Eye Saint King’s descendants, and the Saint King named Dai Weisi.

• Yu Tianmeng donned her battle armor, revealed her strength as a first-class deity, and confronted the Food God and the Nine-Colored Goddess over their plan to recruit Ning Rongrong and Oscar.
• The Food God attacked Yu Tianmeng, but she stopped him with her spatial ability and nearly struck him with the Silver Dragon Spear before the Nine-Colored Goddess surrendered for them both.
• The God of Speed discovered that the Food God and the Nine-Colored Goddess had surrendered, decided against confronting Yu Tianmeng, and returned to the God Realm.
• The War God met the Evil Eye Saint King in Star Luo City and learned that Dai Mubai was dead, so he agreed to choose another descendant as his heir.
• The Evil Eye Saint King proposed Dai Weisi, the current Star Luo Emperor’s direct-line Imperial Son, as the War God’s candidate.

The War God chose Dai Weisi to inherit his divine position, while the God Realm Committee argued over how to handle the Food God and Nine-Colored Goddess’s defection and the Douluo Plane. The chapter ended with the sealed Qian Renxue waking in Swan Palace as its doors opened.

• The Evil Eye Saint King recommended Dai Weisi as the War God's inheritor, and the War God accepted him despite his low strength.
• The War God reported to the God Realm Committee that Dai Weisi had inherited the divine position and Dai Mubai was dead, prompting the gods to question the God of Prophecy's prediction.
• The God of Destruction proposed sending powerful gods to the Douluo Plane, but the other God Kings warned that their arrival could destroy it and blocked his plan.
• The God of Kindness proposed sending Celestial God Hunters to search other planes for potential inheritors, and the committee agreed to end the discussion.
• Qian Renxue woke in Swan Palace, where her divine power remained sealed, just as the doors suddenly opened.

Zhou Chen visited the sealed Qian Renxue, but their flirtation was interrupted by Xue Ke and Yu Tianmeng. Xue Ke then turned to imperial affairs, bringing in Purple Pearl to discuss using her pirate fleet to attack the Star Luo Empire by sea.

• Zhou Chen inspected Qian Renxue to make sure the sealed Angel God had not escaped, but she embraced and flirted with him as he prepared to leave.
• Xue Ke and Yu Tianmeng entered and found Qian Renxue and Zhou Chen embracing; Xue Ke angrily confronted them.
• Qian Renxue taunted Xue Ke, so Zhou Chen used his soul skill to silence her and tried to calm Xue Ke.
• Xue Ke shifted the conversation to absorbing Purple Pearl's pirate group into the Imperial Fleet for a future naval invasion of the Star Luo Empire.
• Yu Tianmeng summoned Purple Pearl, whose ships and sailors could help Tiandou Empire launch its planned sea assault without waiting years to build a fleet.

Xue Ke secured Purple Pearl’s loyalty and prepared to use Vast Sea City as a base for the Royal Fleet and Sea God Hall. Zhu Zhuqing then asked her to spare the Star Luo Empire, revealing that Zhu Youlan had urged her to intervene, and Xue Ke decided the former empress could still be useful.

• Xue Ke appointed Purple Pearl Vice Commander of the Royal Fleet, made her Countess of Vast Sea, and granted her Vast Sea City as a fief.
• Xue Ke explained that the Empire would establish Sea God Hall branches and use Vast Sea City as a pilot site while keeping the organization under imperial influence.
• Zhu Zhuqing asked Xue Ke not to attack the Star Luo Empire, but Xue Ke defended the planned conquest as necessary to unite the continent.
• Zhu Zhuqing explained how she had inferred the naval invasion plans from the Empire’s transport convoys, and Zhu Zhuyun revealed that Zhu Youlan had pressed her to intervene.
• Xue Ke and Yu Tianmeng concluded that Zhu Youlan had used Zhu Zhuqing without regard for her or her unborn child, and Xue Ke chose to exploit the former empress rather than kill her.

Xue Ke ordered Zhu Youlan sent to the Star Luo border to expose the empire’s situation, while Yu Tianmeng arranged a letter for the Zhu Family. At Dragon Rise City, Tiandou’s army used Zhu Youlan’s capture to demand the defenders withdraw, leaving the Star Luo commander in a dilemma.

• Xue Ke ordered Zhi Xin to send Zhu Youlan to the frontline army camp and probe the Star Luo Empire, while Yu Tianmeng asked Zhi Xin to deliver a letter to the Zhu Family of the Netherworld Spirit Cat.
• Tiandou’s army arrived outside Dragon Rise City, where the Star Luo commander ordered his troops to leave the city and attack despite an adviser’s warning.
• The Star Luo commander killed the adviser for questioning his orders, and the defenders marched out to face Tiandou’s army.
• Tiandou’s commander halted his troops and brought Zhu Youlan before the formation, revealing her identity as the Star Luo Empress Dowager and threatening to kill her unless the defenders withdrew.
• After advisers confirmed Zhu Youlan’s identity, the Star Luo commander realized either choice could cost him his life.

After the Tiandou Empire used Zhu Youlan to capture Dragon Rise City, Xue Ke ordered the army to keep advancing through the Star Luo Empire. As Dai Weisi failed to secure help from the Evil Eye Saint King, he turned to Bi Bi Dong, who agreed to rescue Zhu Youlan only if the Star Luo Empire submitted to Spirit Hall.

• The Tiandou army ambushed the retreating Star Luo defenders and captured Dragon Rise City with Zhu Youlan as a shield.
• Xue Ke ordered Zhi Xin to draft an edict sending the army deeper into Star Luo territory with Zhu Youlan in tow.
• Zhi Xin obtained Ge Long’s approval for the decree after explaining why Xue Ke intended to humiliate Zhu Youlan.
• The Tiandou army captured more fortresses, while Dai Weisi punished failing generals and city lords but could not make defenders risk Zhu Youlan’s life.
• Dai Weisi asked the Evil Eye Saint King to rescue Zhu Youlan, but the ancestor refused to expose his strength.
• Dai Weisi sent an envoy to Bi Bi Dong, who offered to rescue Zhu Youlan in exchange for the Star Luo Empire’s submission to Spirit Hall.
