Chapter Summaries

Chen Junting reunited with his disguised allies in Dongyang City, where Huo Yuhao’s reconnaissance revealed the city’s defenses. After discussing their plan over a meal, they prepared to seize control of the City Lord’s Mansion and keep the Sun Moon Army’s logistics running until the group could strike.

• Gu Tianchen and Wu Feng met Chen Junting and Ning Tian in disguise, and the rest of the group arrived, including Dugu Xin, Huo Yuhao, Ma Xiaotao, Zhang Lexuan, Long Aotian, and Xiao Bai.
• The group ate together after Chen Junting sealed the private room, while Snow Empress scolded Xiao Bai for his behavior.
• Huo Yuhao reported that Dongyang City held about 150 Soul Engineers and two Soul Tool positions, with no Level 9 Soul Engineer present.

• Chen Junting instructed Dugu Xin to keep the city lord providing logistical support to the Sun Moon Army while the group later traveled to Sea Princess for Huo Yuhao’s Eighth Soul Ring before heading to the Demon Forest.

Huo Yuhao visited the Mermaid Princess Clan to contract with Lila as his next Soul Spirit, where he and his companions met the Sea God Douluo Chen Juntao and told him about the Demon Queen. Huo Yuhao entered Lila’s cave to begin their meeting, stunned by her aged appearance.

• Chen Junting brought Huo Yuhao, Gu Tianchen, and Ning Tian to the Mermaid Princess Clan, where Liya welcomed them and led them to the palace.

• Liya led the group to Lila’s underwater cave, where the Sea Princess invited Huo Yuhao inside.
• Huo Yuhao entered the cave and found Lila waiting above a crystal platform, then reacted with surprise to her aged face.

Huo Yuhao gained Mermaid Lila as his seventh Soul Spirit, greatly expanding his spiritual power, while Rong Nianbing decided to seek a successor for his Godhood on Douluo Star. After noticing Huo Yuhao’s sharply increased fortune, Tang San planned to act through Little Qi.

• Mermaid Lila offered Huo Yuhao her blessing and merged her spiritual origin with him, expanding his Sea of Spirit by more than a third.
• Huo Yuhao gained an Orange Soul Ring in the eighth position, and Chen Junting and Ning Tian worried that his growing strength would provoke Tang San.
• Rong Nianbing discussed finding a successor with his Teacher and decided to seek a talented candidate on Douluo Star.
• Tang San noticed that Huo Yuhao’s fortune had risen greatly and concluded that he needed to act soon.
• Tang San chose to focus on Little Qi and formed a plan after seeing that she was at Shrek Academy and considering Clear Sky Fortress.

Sea Spear Douluo and Sea Gull Douluo sought the Clear Sky Sect’s help in tracking the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King’s remnants, but Niu Tian and Tai Tan refused them. Sea Shark Douluo and Sea Serpent Douluo then visited Shrek Academy, where Elder Song recognized the remnant they described but did not know where she had gone.

• Niu Tian sensed the Sea God Family’s visitors and sent Tai Tan to greet Sea Spear Douluo and Sea Gull Douluo at the Clear Sky Sect.
• Niu Tian and Tai Tan rejected the envoys’ request for help, and Sea Spear Douluo and Sea Gull Douluo left without persuading them.
• Sea Shark Douluo and Sea Serpent Douluo arrived in Shrek City, where Shi Xing alerted the academy and Elder Song went to meet them.
• Elder Song brought the two Sea God Family envoys into Shrek Academy, and they bowed reverently before Tang San’s statue.
• Sea Shark Douluo asked Elder Song about the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King’s remnant, and she recognized who they meant but said she did not know where she had gone.

Elder Song persuaded Sea Shark Douluo and Sea Serpent Douluo to cooperate against the Demon Queen and her allies, but their meeting with Wang Dong'er revealed that she had inherited the Sea God’s divine examination. Wang Dong'er refused to leave Shrek immediately, choosing to delay going to the Sea God Family while the academy promised its support.

• Elder Song learned that the Demon Queen was no longer at sea and convinced Sea Shark Douluo and Sea Serpent Douluo that she had powerful allies, prompting them to consider cooperating with the continent’s forces.
• Wang Dong'er encountered the two Sea God attendants in the Inner Academy, and her Trident mark resonated with their marks as Sea God Lake surged.
• Sea Shark Douluo and Sea Serpent Douluo knelt before Wang Dong'er and asked her to return to the Sea God Family as the Sea God’s successor.
• Wang Dong'er received the first Sea God trial, while Elder Song and the two attendants argued over where she could complete it.
• Elder Song urged Wang Dong'er to choose for herself, and Wang Dong'er decided to remain at Shrek for now; one attendant agreed to stay nearby while the Sea God Family awaited her.

After Wang Dong'er became the Sea God's Successor, Shrek Academy sealed the news and learned that the Clear Sky Sect already knew. Meanwhile, Chen Junting trained to withstand mental attacks and learned that Electrolux would preserve the Evil Emperor's mental power after Huo Yuhao killed him; Huo Yuhao then arrived at the Mermaid Palace.

• Elder Song dismissed the Inner Academy disciples, took Wang Dong'er and Yan Shaozhe to the Sea God Pavilion, and told Yan Shaozhe that Wang Dong'er had become the Sea God's Successor.
• Elder Song decided to keep the news secret and sent Yan Shaozhe to inform the Clear Sky Sect, which replied, "We know."
• Wang Dong'er asked Elder Song and Yan Shaozhe to notify Yuhao, but they had no way to reach him.
• At the Mermaid Palace, the Sea Princess used her song to train Chen Junting's mental defenses, and Ning Tian helped him recover.
• Electrolux told Chen Junting he would seal and refine the Evil Emperor's remaining mental power after Huo Yuhao killed him.
• Chen Junting sensed Huo Yuhao approaching, and Huo Yuhao entered the palace and greeted him and Ning Tian.

Chen Junting tested Huo Yuhao’s Seven Kills Sword Art and urged him to create emotion-based battle skills with his soul spirits. He explained that this was the first step toward attracting the God of Emotion, Rong Nianbing, and helping Huo Yuhao escape Tang San’s control; Huo Yuhao accepted the plan and resolved to begin.

• Huo Yuhao told Chen Junting that he had reached rank 86, and Chen Junting asked him to demonstrate his mastery of “Seven Emotions, Seven Injuries.”
• Huo Yuhao attacked Chen Junting with a series of emotion-laden sword strikes, but Chen Junting resisted them and broke the technique.
• Chen Junting advised Huo Yuhao to refine the seven emotions, combine them with his internal and external arts and soul spirits, and create battle skills of his own.
• Chen Junting revealed that developing emotion-based skills could help Huo Yuhao attract Rong Nianbing and gain protection against Tang San’s control.
• Huo Yuhao’s soul spirits supported the plan, and Huo Yuhao told Chen Junting that he understood and would proceed.
• Huo Yuhao noticed Chen Junting and Ning Tian’s affectionate exchange and thought that he was beginning to miss Dong’er.

Chen Junting returned to Dongyang City with news that Sea God Douluo had joined their side for now, then prepared to head south while Dugu Xin stayed to guard the city lord. In Ming Capital, Meng Hongchen secretly moved ahead with a plan to extract Xu Tianhe from the palace and make his death appear real.

• Chen Junting returned through a Void Gate with Huo Yuhao and told Dugu Xin and Zhang Lexuan that Sea God Douluo was a Limit Douluo allied with them for now.
• Zhang Lexuan wrote letters about Sea God Douluo and Long Aotian, and Chen Junting decided to travel to the Demon Forest and Ming Capital while Dugu Xin and Nan Qiuqiu stayed behind.
• A hidden figure warned Meng Hongchen that palace martial law would soon prevent him from helping, and she destroyed Jing Hongchen's letter before ordering her maids to dress her.
• Meng Hongchen visited the confined Xu Tianhe and acted as though she had come to seduce him, while he pretended to play along under imperial orders.
• Meng Hongchen incapacitated Xu Tianhe, activated Martial Soul Possession, and approached his unconscious body with an Ice Sword and a sharp cone-shaped object.

Xu Tianran arranged for Meng Hongchen to conceive using Prince Tianhe’s seed while secretly planning to dispose of her, but Meng Hongchen and Jing Hongchen began plotting against him. Meanwhile, Shangguan Weier’s attempt to retrieve a corpse yielded only an urn of ashes, and Jing Hongchen left the chapter resolved to wait for a chance to challenge Xu Tianran.

• Xue Chen confirmed that Meng Hongchen had killed Prince Tianhe, and Xu Tianran ordered the corpse hidden and the Empress examined before the transplant.
• After learning Meng Hongchen was still untouched, Xu Tianran ordered the imperial physician to proceed with the conception plan; Meng Hongchen handed over the seed while silently considering how to use the child as a chess piece.
• A masked group searched their meeting place, found no contact, and changed course toward the Imperial Mausoleum; Shangguan Weier later learned that the recovered remains were only ashes and decided to report back.
• Yang Yuan left Jing Hongchen a letter containing Meng Hongchen’s plan, and Jing Hongchen read it before deciding the Hongchen Family should pursue the throne when Xu Tianran made a mistake.

Chen Junting learned of Meng Hongchen’s planned rebellion and decided to exploit it while keeping his attack on the Ming Capital unchanged. In the Ming Capital, Yang Yuan discovered that the supposed corpse was gone and could not contact his master.

• Chen Junting told Ning Tian that Meng Hongchen planned to rebel, and he reasoned that the Hongchen Family stood to gain control over a young emperor.
• Chen Junting decided to use Meng Hongchen’s plan to weaken the Sun Moon Empire further and asked Gu Tianchen to carry a message to the Star Luo Main Camp.
• Yang Yuan visited Shangguan Weier, who told him the corpse was gone and showed him an urn recovered from the mausoleum.
• Yang Yuan took the urn and left to confront Meng Hongchen and inform his master, but he could not contact his master.

Chen Junting led the others to the Demon Forest to locate and destroy the Holy Spirit Cult’s headquarters, with Di Tian identifying its direction and the Myriad Monster King and Huo Yuhao sealing off escape routes. Xiong Jun’s opening attack overwhelmed the cult’s defenses, while Chen Junting later struggled under a blood-red soul ring as Di Tian watched over him.

• Chen Junting summoned Di Tian, the Myriad Monster King, and Xiong Jun after arriving at the Demon Forest with Ma Xiaotao, Huo Yuhao, Long Aotian, and the others.
• Di Tian sensed the Holy Spirit Cult’s location, then ordered the Myriad Monster King and Huo Yuhao to block every escape route through the forest.

• Half a day later, Chen Junting sat atop ruins beneath a blood-red soul ring with eight Gold Patterns as Di Tian warned that his body was close to collapsing.

Chen Junting and Di Tian led the Raid Squad in destroying the Holy Spirit Sect headquarters, while Ye Guyi purified its Wraiths and slaughtered the remaining Evil Soul Masters. The Holy Spirit Sect was wiped out, and the Saint Emperor’s hidden release of the Wraiths ended with Ye Guyi’s victory as Di Tian awaited a confrontation with the Evil Eye Tyrant Overlord.

• Xiong Jun tore apart the Holy Spirit Sect’s defenses, exposing its headquarters and driving the surviving elders and Evil Soul Masters to flee.
• Wu Feng, Ma Xiaotao, and the Raid Squad attacked the fleeing enemies, burning and cutting down the Holy Spirit Sect’s forces while Xiong Jun and the Myriad Monster King hunted survivors.

• Ye Guyi unleashed Angel’s Glory to kill the remaining Evil Soul Masters, completing the destruction of the Holy Spirit Sect headquarters.

Di Tian confronted the Evil Emperor over the Evil Eye Tyrant Overlord’s role in cultivating with Nine Treasures Disciples and challenged him to battle in the heavens. Chen Junting used Electrolux’s guidance and Huo Yuhao’s Ice Mirror to let the others watch as the two unleashed devastating attacks, leaving the fight unresolved.

• The Evil Emperor appeared above the Demon Forest, and Chen Junting accused him of using the Nine Treasures Disciples’ lives to cultivate.
• The Evil Emperor attacked Di Tian and Chen Junting, but Di Tian absorbed the beam’s force and carried the battle into the high sky.

• Di Tian and the Evil Emperor exchanged powerful attacks, culminating in a clash between Di Tian’s Black Dragon Sword and the Evil Emperor’s scarlet beam that tore open the sky.

Chen Junting explained how the realms beyond Limit Douluo progressed toward godhood, distinguishing Quasi-Demigods, Demigods, and Quasi-Gods by their bodily transformation and lifespan. His explanation suggested that ancient Peerless Douluo had reached the Demigod realm, while Poseidon had lived for a thousand years before becoming a god.

• Ma Xiaotao and Xiong Jun reacted to Di Tian and the Evil Emperor's overwhelming strength, and Chen Junting identified them as Quasi-Gods.
• Ning Tian asked Chen Junting what Quasi-God meant and whether it was a realm above the Limit, drawing the Raid Squad and Soul Beasts in to listen.
• Chen Junting described three stages beyond Limit Douluo: Quasi-Demigod, Demigod, and Quasi-God, with increasing bodily transformation and lifespan.
• Chen Junting theorized that ancient Peerless Douluo reached the Demigod realm because their cultivation method fused their Martial Souls with their bodies.
• Chen Junting concluded that Poseidon, who had waged war across the oceans for a thousand years before becoming a god, had likely reached an even higher realm.

Di Tian overwhelmed the Evil Emperor with his true form and unleashed the Dragon God Claw against the Evil Emperor’s ultimate techniques. The Light of Time and Space shattered, leaving the Evil Emperor facing Di Tian’s finishing strike.

Di Tian killed the Evil Emperor and gave Chen Junting the Evil Emperor’s core, which Electrolux purified into a soul and the Evil Emperor’s Soul Ring and eye-type External Soul Bone. Chen Junting absorbed the Soul Bone and began absorbing the nearly 800,000-year Soul Ring with Electrolux suppressing its will, and the process continued as the ring’s energy expanded his body and Sea of Spirit.

After the group searched the Holy Spirit Cult headquarters for treasure, Chen Junting urged Huo Yuhao to find the missing Holy Emperor Statue in the ruins.

• Chen Junting absorbed the Evil Emperor's Soul Ring, and Electrolux used the Soul Origin and runes to form a Soul Spirit Embryo.

The Demon Queen and “Zhongli Wu” planned to exploit the Holy Spirit Cult’s destruction by attacking the Sun Moon Empire’s Imperial City, then discussed stealing the Sea God Helmet to help the Demon Queen advance toward godhood. Meanwhile, Chen Junting’s group reached Mingdu and prepared to use Meng Hongchen to destabilize the empire, but Chen Junting discovered that Yang Yuan had contacted him three days earlier.
