Chapter Summaries

Chen Junting, Ning Tian, Wu Feng, and Gu Tianchen reunited for dinner, where they discussed their Titled Douluo titles and the prospect of ascending to the God Realm together. Chen Junting promised to help find suitable Godhoods for their friends and began planning inheritances, while Wu Feng learned that a God of Fire existed.

• Chen Junting and Ning Tian visited Wu Feng and found Gu Tianchen cooking dinner; the two couples teased each other about their relationships.
• Wu Feng declared that she would take the title Dragon Emperor Douluo, while Ning Tian explained that she had chosen Nine Colors Douluo to honor her family legacy.
• Wu Feng worried that her friends would leave her behind when they ascended to the God Realm, and Chen Junting assured her he would find suitable Godhoods for her and their companions.
• Chen Junting said Gu Tianchen was suited to the God of Space and began discussing possible inheritances for the others.
• Wu Feng asked whether a God of Fire existed, and Ning Tian told her that Ma Hongjun had inherited that Godhood but failed its final trial.

Chen Junting gathered the Sea God Divine Examination participants and promised to help them find paths to godhood, then asked the God of Destruction to identify suitable inheritances for his companions. The God of Destruction agreed and matched each of them with a potential godhood, while considering how they might strengthen the God Realm.

• Ning Tian told Wu Feng that Ma Hongjun had changed godhoods after Sea God Tang San intervened, and suggested the God of Fire might recognize Wu Feng’s Ultimate Fire.
• Chen Junting arranged a meeting for the seven people who had taken part in the Sea God Divine Examination and explained that he would help them overcome the luck involved in being noticed by a Deity.
• Chen Junting declared that he hoped to share eternal life with his companions and later contacted the God of Destruction to ask for suitable godhoods for them.
• Chen Junting described his companions, and the God of Destruction matched Wu Feng with the God of Fire, Dugu Xin with the God of Poison, Xiao Xiao with the God of Rhythm, and Gu Tianchen with the God of Space.
• The God of Destruction suggested the God of Light for Ye Guyi and either a self-created Sword God or the God of Attack for Ji Juechen, then ended the connection and considered the possibilities.

Rong Nianbing visited the Seven Great Element Master Gods and offered to recommend successors for the Fire God, God of Light, and God of Space. The God of Space eagerly accepted Gu Tianchen as a candidate, while the God of Light hesitated over Ye Guyi because choosing her could cause conflict with the Sea God.

• The God of Destruction asked Rong Nianbing to approach the Seven Great Element Master Gods about the Sea God's influence.
• Rong Nianbing joined the Seven Great Element Master Gods at the Earth God Temple and told them he had found a successor and planned to leave the God Realm.
• Rong Nianbing promised to recommend suitable successors for three of the Seven Elemental Gods, prompting them to demand details.
• Rong Nianbing described Gu Tianchen's talent in space, and the God of Space decided to use a Divine Examination to help him grow into a successor.
• Rong Nianbing revealed that Ye Guyi's Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul suited the God of Light, but the God of Light worried that choosing her would conflict with the Sea God.

The Seven Great Element Master Gods agreed to choose suitable successors without seeking the Sea God’s permission, and the God of Light and God of Fire accepted Rong Nianbing’s candidates. Meanwhile, the God of Rhythm began Xiao Xiao’s Divine Examination, while the God of Poison regretted becoming a double agent.

• The God of Darkness rejected the Water God’s suggestion to consult the Sea God, and the God of Fire argued that the elemental gods should prioritize their own succession and shared interests.
• The God of Earth helped the Water God save face, and she and the God of Fire soon resumed their usual quarrel before agreeing to hear Rong Nianbing’s proposal.
• The God of Light confirmed that she wanted Rong Nianbing’s candidate to inherit her godhood, and the God of Fire chose a hot-tempered girl with a True Dragon Martial Soul and Ultimate Fire.
• The Element Gods agreed to check their candidates and search the Douluo Plane for more successors, while the God of Fire said they would inform the Sea God after confirming the inheritances.
• The God of Rhythm gave Xiao Xiao a Divine Examination after the God of Destruction recommended her, while the God of Poison learned of new developments and regretted his deal.

Chen Junting planned to boost his companions’ cultivation by using rare materials from the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect to refine pills, and he collected the Level 9 Alchemy Furnace Jing Ziyan had built. At the Soul Guidance Research Institute, he proposed Soul Bone Fusion Skill as a reference for developing Battle Armor, leaving Xuan Ziwen asking whether fused soul bones could form armor outside the body.

• Chen Junting told Ning Tian he could obtain suitable Soul Bone materials through the sect and refine pills from the Heaven and Earth Treasures he had collected to raise everyone’s cultivation.
• Chen Junting visited the Soul Guidance Research Institute and collected the Level 9 Alchemy Furnace Jing Ziyan had built with help from Xuan Ziwen and another Level 9 Soul Engineer.
• Xuan Ziwen told Chen Junting and Jing Ziyan that Battle Armor research was progressing slowly and would likely take until around the fourth generation.
• Chen Junting asked whether a reference could help them realize Battle Armor in the current generation, then named Soul Bone Fusion Skill as that reference.
• Xuan Ziwen asked whether fused soul bones could form a set of armor outside the body.

Chen Junting gave Xuan Ziwen knowledge of Divine Armor Forging, prompting him to rush off to advance Battle Armor research. He then took Gu Tianchen and Wu Feng to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well to help them condense Soul Cores, where Wu Feng broke through and received a fiery-red Divine Sense.

• Xuan Ziwen examined Chen Junting’s Soul Bone Armor, and Chen Junting gave him Array Patterns and knowledge of Divine Armor Forging that left him convinced Battle Armor could soon make a breakthrough.
• Chen Junting took Gu Tianchen and Wu Feng through a Void Gate to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well so they could condense their Soul Cores.
• Gu Tianchen swallowed the Void Immortal Mushroom and began condensing his Soul Core while Chen Junting guarded him.
• Wu Feng cultivated at the Fire Spring, absorbed the Fire Dragon King Remnant Soul’s Dragon Qi, and broke through to rank ninety while condensing a red soul ring with four Gold Patterns.
• A fiery-red Divine Sense descended into Wu Feng and left a Flame Mark on her brow; she opened her eyes with golden dragon eyes and powerful Dragon Might.

Wu Feng received the Fire God’s inheritance, and Gu Tianchen condensed his Space Soul Core, reached Level 96, and received an inheritance from the God of Space. Chen Junting then practiced pill refinement and successfully formed pills from the Heaven and Earth Treasures, leaving the finished pills surrounded by powerful energy and treasure light.

• Wu Feng told Chen Junting that the Fire God had chosen her, and she only needed to reach Level 99 to inherit his god position.
• Gu Tianchen completed his breakthrough, condensed his Space Soul Core, reached Level 96, and received the God of Space’s inheritance.
• Wu Feng and Gu Tianchen celebrated their inheritances before Chen Junting brought out a Level 9 Alchemy Furnace and explained that he would refine pills to help them advance.
• Chen Junting practiced pill refinement with ordinary herbs, gradually improving until he could produce pills with a slight effect.
• Chen Junting used Wu Feng’s Ultimate Fire and the Heaven and Earth Treasures from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and the Valley of Life to refine a batch of pills.
• Chen Junting formed the pill liquid outside the furnace with Soul Power, completing the pills as energy and treasure light rippled through the sealed area.

Chen Junting returned to the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect with twelve newly refined Heaven and Earth Creation Pills and learned that several sect members had obtained Divine Inheritances. The Sect Master pledged the sect’s resources to support their path to godhood, and Chen Junting gathered the group to prepare to distribute the pills.

• Chen Junting refined twelve Heaven and Earth Creation Pills, then returned to the sect with Gu Tianchen and Wu Feng.
• Chen Junting found Ning Bo Wen, the Grand Elders, and the sect’s prodigies waiting; he confirmed that Gu Tianchen and Wu Feng had also obtained Divine Inheritances.
• Ning Bo Wen pledged the sect’s full support for the inheritors and agreed to find suitable soul bones or materials for Chen Junting to make Artificial Soul Bones.
• Chen Junting explained that Ji Juechen had chosen to pursue the sword path himself rather than accept the God of Attack’s inheritance, then had Gu Tianchen bring Ji Juechen, Jing Ziyan, and Nan Qiuqiu to the estate.
• Chen Junting introduced the Heaven and Earth Creation Pills and prepared to distribute them to the gathered group.

Chen Junting gave the Heaven and Earth Creation Pills to the group, and their overwhelming medicinal power greatly improved their cultivation while forcing impurities from their bodies. After stopping Dugu Xin from condensing a soul ring, Chen Junting explained his plans for Dugu Xin’s Ninth Soul Ring and asked whether he knew Dugu Bo’s “Time Stasis” Soul Skill.

• Chen Junting distributed the pills and warned Xiao Xiao, Nan Qiuqiu, and Jing Ziyan to take theirs in portions because their cultivation was lower.
• The group absorbed the pills, and Chen Junting and Ning Tian helped Nan Qiuqiu and Jing Ziyan withstand the medicine’s violent effects.
• After a day of absorption, Gu Tianchen reached Level 98, Huo Yuhao reached Level 97, Ye Guyi and Wu Feng reached Level 96, and Ji Juechen and Dugu Xin advanced toward becoming Titled Douluo.
• Nan Qiuqiu, Jing Ziyan, and Xiao Xiao woke after the medicine expelled impurities from their bodies; Xiao Xiao planned to condense her Soul Core.
• Chen Junting discussed Dugu Xin’s Ninth Soul Ring, gave him patterns intended to grant poison immunity, and suggested condensing the ring through his bloodline.
• Chen Junting asked Dugu Xin whether he knew Dugu Bo had possessed a Soul Skill called “Time Stasis.”

Dugu Xin condensed his Second Soul Core through the dangerous Yin-Yang Complementary Method, then created his Ninth Soul Ring by combining bloodline traces with an inverted Aromatic Silk Beauty pattern. His new Soul Skill froze time across the courtyard, but the effect shattered just as he stood up.

• Dugu Xin chose to pursue the bloodline-derived Time Stasis Soul Skill and began condensing his Second Soul Core with Chen Junting and Ning Tian guarding him.
• Chen Junting explained that Dugu Xin should use the Mental Attribute for his Second Soul Core, and Ning Tian left to arrange a nourishing meal.
• Dugu Xin endured severe internal damage as he drew the soul core into his body, while Chen Junting repaired him and Ning Tian briefly protected him from harm.
• Dugu Xin completed his Second Soul Core, ate the food Ning Tian had prepared, and began condensing his Ninth Soul Ring.
• Dugu Xin combined an inverted Aromatic Silk Beauty pattern with bloodline traces leading to Medusa, forming a crimson Soul Ring with three golden lines.
• Dugu Xin used his new Soul Skill to freeze time throughout the courtyard, but a cracking sound came as he rose to his feet.

Chen Junting and Dugu Xin tested Xin’s new poison Soul Skill, which proved devastating, before Chen Junting defeated him in a spar. Chen Junting then settled the sect’s remaining business and entered secluded cultivation, aiming to break through toward Level 99 while Ning Tian also began cultivating.

• Dugu Xin used his Ninth Soul Skill, Where Poison Reaches, All Things Wither, and his poison destroyed the protective Sachet and shattered Chen Junting’s Soul Guidance Shield.
• Chen Junting froze the spreading poison with Ultimate Ice, then accepted Dugu Xin’s challenge and returned from their spar carrying the battered Xin.
• Wu Feng and Dugu Xin removed the toxins from the courtyard and sparring site, and Wu Feng destroyed the damaged Sachet.
• Chen Junting and Ning Tian took Heaven and Earth Creation Pills, while the sect’s leaders sealed away the two remaining pills for future disciples.
• Chen Junting explained Spirit Forging, Heaven Forging, and his Artificial Soul Bone Method to Xuan Ziwen, who requested top-tier blacksmiths and the Heavenly Tribulation Formation Array.
• Chen Junting entered secluded cultivation beneath the Golden Ancient Tree to pursue breakthroughs in his Martial Soul and Soul Core methods, while Ning Tian also cultivated.

Five years into seclusion, Chen Junting found that the fusion of his Martial Soul and Soul Cores had blocked his planned three-Soul-Core cultivation method. He traveled to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well to reshape his cultivation by storing spirit and essence in his Upper and Lower Dantians, then descended to face the residual souls of the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings.

• Chen Junting materialized the Seven Kills Sword after fusing completely with his Martial Soul, but remained stuck at peak Level 98 with a single Soul Core in his middle dantian.
• Chen Junting teleported to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and explained that he planned to cultivate spirit and essence in his Upper and Lower Dantians instead of storing Soul Power there.
• Electrolux warned Chen Junting that his plan could kill him, but Chen Junting insisted he would survive, and the Soul Spirits agreed to guard him.
• Chen Junting entered the spring and descended to the sealed formation at its bottom, where Electrolux dispelled the seal.
• The residual souls of the two Dragon Kings surged from the depths and attacked Chen Junting and Electrolux as the Snow Empress and the other Soul Spirits sensed their power from the shore.

Chen Junting used the two Dragon King remnant souls and the power of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well to forge his Essence Core and merge his shattered Sea of Spirit with his Upper Dantian. His essence, qi, and spirit united, breaking through from Level 98 to Level 99.

• Electrolux restrained the two Dragon King remnant souls and linked Chen Junting to the energy of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
• Chen Junting drew death energy into his Lower Dantian, then combined his Life Energy and Bloodline Power to create the golden Essence Core.
• Chen Junting drew the Dragon King remnants' divine soul power into his Sea of Spirit and let their ice and fire powers shatter it while protecting its fragments and his True Spirit.
• Chen Junting pulled the fragments of his Sea of Spirit into his Upper Dantian and fused them using the Power of Destiny, forming a Divine Core.
• Chen Junting's three cores linked his essence, qi, and spirit, raising his cultivation from Level 98 to Level 99 and prompting the Snow Empress and the others to celebrate.

Chen Junting fused his martial soul with the Three Treasures of Man, reaching the Divine Origin Realm and awakening god-level spiritual power. He then extracted a right arm bone from the Fire Dragon King and a torso bone from the Water Dragon King, intending to strengthen his body enough to reach godhood.

• Chen Junting fused the Seven Kills Sword’s three aspects with his essence, qi, and spirit, though his blood only partly transformed into golden blood.
• Chen Junting fused his Divine Core with the Seven Kills Sword Spirit, creating a golden primordial spirit and advancing his spiritual power into the Divine Origin Realm.
• Chen Junting told Electrolux he had succeeded, then asked to act on the Dragon King remnant souls; Electrolux restrained them.
• Chen Junting used the Fire Spring’s Primordial Qi to form a god-level Fire Dragon King Right Arm Bone, disrupting the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well’s balance.
• Chen Junting formed a Water Dragon King Torso Bone, restoring the balance between the two springs.

Chen Junting absorbed the Water Dragon King Torso Bone and Fire Dragon King Right Arm Bone, breaking through to the Divine Body Realm before returning to the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect. There, he learned that Wang Dong'er’s trial was being forced forward and told her to invite Niu Tian to come fetch her in person.

• The Dragon Kings’ remnant souls fell silent as Chen Junting absorbed their Soul Bones, reaching the Divine Body Realm and completing his set of Soul Rings and Soul Bones.
• Chen Junting emerged from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and returned to the shore, where Snow Emperor and the others welcomed him.
• At the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, Huo Yuhao and the others explained that Niu Tian’s increasingly urgent letters demanded Wang Dong’er return to Clear Sky Fortress with Soul Bones prepared for her.
• Chen Junting learned that Wang Dong’er’s return would advance her Eighth Trial and bring her closer to Tang San’s planned move during the Ninth Gate.
• Chen Junting told Wang Dong’er to write Niu Tian that she was staying at the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect and invite him to come fetch her himself.

Niu Tian obtained Tang San’s approval to descend the mountain under the pretext of bringing Wang Dong’er home, while the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect celebrated the completion of Huo Yuhao’s Three-Word Battle Armor. Chen Junting then commissioned Battle Armor designs for himself and other talented sect members.

• Tai Tan and Niu Tian received a letter from Chen Junting inviting Niu Tian to the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, and Niu Tian decided to use it as an excuse to leave Clear Sky Fortress.
• Niu Tian told Tang San his plan through the Sea God Brand and received permission, along with a warning to maintain his disguise.
• Chen Junting arrived at the Soul Guidance Research Institute and saw Huo Yuhao wearing the Three-Word Battle Armor developed over five years by Xuan Ziwen, Tai Yu, Huo Yuhao, and the researchers.
• Huo Yuhao said the armor made him strong enough to challenge an ordinary Limit Douluo under normal conditions.
• Chen Junting asked Xuan Ziwen to design Battle Armor for him, Ning Bo Wen, the Grand Elders, and talented sect members, and Tai Yu agreed to handle the metal.

Chen Junting received a Three-Word Battle Armor designed around his fighting style and soul bones, then used his spiritual power to trigger elemental resonance and draw down a Thunder Tribulation. He endured the tribulation and fused his Soul Bone Fusion Skill with the armor, advancing it into Four-Word Battle Armor as Niu Tian hurried toward the sect.

• Xuan Ziwen measured Chen Junting, and Tai Yu forged enough Soul Forging metal for his battle armor after seeing the demanding specifications.
• Xuan Ziwen and Huo Yuhao designed Chen Junting a silver-white Three-Word Battle Armor with gold patterns, which Tai Yu completed in three days.
• Chen Junting activated his Soul Bone Fusion Skill while wearing the armor, but found that the two only overlapped because the armor was not powerful enough to fuse with his soul bones.
• Chen Junting used his Divine Origin Realm spiritual power to gather the elements and trigger resonance between his Soul Bone Fusion Skill and battle armor.
• Chen Junting endured seven bolts of elemental Thunder Tribulation, then struck the final bolt with his fist as the armor advanced and fused with his Soul Bone Fusion Skill.
• Niu Tian sensed the Heavenly Tribulation and rushed toward the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect while Chen Junting’s newly advanced armor revealed the words “Seven Kills Peerless Annihilation.”

Chen Junting welcomed Niu Tian to the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, where Niu Tian was stunned by the sect’s many divine successors and Wang Dong’er’s changed demeanor. Wang Dong’er confronted him in the Necromancer Demigod Plane about altering her memories, and Huo Yuhao challenged his actions before someone intervened to break Niu Tian’s attack.

• Chen Junting sensed Niu Tian’s arrival and received the Clear Sky Sect Grand Sect Master as a guest at the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect.
• Niu Tian was shocked to see Wang Dong’er’s warmth and the powerful divine successors among the sect’s members.
• Chen Junting and Ning Tian let Wang Dong’er enter the Necromancer Demigod Plane with Niu Tian, where she questioned him about what he had done to her memories.
• Niu Tian admitted that he had altered Wang Dong’er’s memories, and she angrily demanded to know why he had betrayed her.
• Huo Yuhao condemned Niu Tian for treating Wang Dong’er’s memories as something he could freely change, prompting Niu Tian to unleash his pressure on him.
• An unknown voice praised Huo Yuhao and split Niu Tian’s pressure before it could harm him.

Chen Junting fought Niu Tian, proved his strength, and explained why he had brought him to the Necromancer Demigod Plane. Niu Tian agreed not to take Wang Dong'er back and signed Chen Junting’s unexpectedly onerous contract before leaving with her and Huo Yuhao.

• Niu Tian transformed into the Azure Sky Divine Dragon and attacked Chen Junting, who countered with the Seven Kills Sword and the Exterminate the Immortals Domain.
• Chen Junting broke through Niu Tian’s defenses with a sword attack that demonstrated his command of the Power of Time and Space.
• After Chen Junting donned his Battle Armor, Niu Tian conceded the fight and agreed to hear his proposal, though he refused to target Xiao Wu and Tang San.
• Chen Junting explained the Power of Destiny, and Niu Tian decided not to take Wang Dong'er back, warning that they had little time left.
• Chen Junting presented a contract, which Niu Tian signed before leaving the Necromancer Demigod Plane with Wang Dong'er and Huo Yuhao.
• Several figures appeared after Niu Tian had left, and he had not noticed them.

Chen Junting learned that Shui Xiye, whom he identified as Ye Xishui, was operating in the Douling Empire and suspected its emperor had been infiltrated by Evil Soul Masters. He left alone to investigate and confront the threat, while Ning Bo Wen prepared to warn Shrek Academy.

• Ning Tian teased Chen Junting for arranging Niu Tian’s defeat and contract, while the God of Destruction decided to wait for Chen Junting to challenge Tang San’s influence.
• Niu Tian told Tang San he had failed to bring Little Qi back because Chen Junting defeated him, and refused to try again with Tai Tan because the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect was too powerful.
• Tang San investigated the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect and worried about its growing strength and its many God Successors, then resolved to make Little Qi act sooner.
• Chen Junting identified Shui Xiye as Ye Xishui after Ning Bo Wen described her Radiant Phoenix Martial Soul, and suspected Ye Xishui and other Evil Soul Masters were hiding in the Douling Empire.
• Chen Junting decided to go to the Douling Empire alone, leaving Ning Bo Wen to arrange a warning for Shrek Academy.
