Chapter Summaries

Ye Wen explained the auction’s unusual bidding and bought several Soul Bones and a Rare Metal with Xu Jiujiu’s help. When a remarkable jade-green left arm Soul Bone appeared as one of the auction’s highlights, Ye Wen realized the item he had been waiting for was finally up for sale.

• Ye Wen explained that the twelve Fixed Soul Missiles were difficult to analyze and poorly suited to the auction, so Xu Jiujiu bid to protect the Star Luo Imperial Family’s reputation.

At the Starlight Auction, Vina asked Ye Wen to let her handle the bidding on an ice-attributed soul bone, but Ye Wen learned it might endanger anyone without Ultimate Ice and warned Shrek. The auction house’s Xu Jiujiu then asked Ye Wen to explain the danger onstage, leaving him aware that she was drawing him into the matter.

• Vina asked Ye Wen to handle the auction for him, and he agreed, recognizing that she and Xu Jiujiu hoped to secure his favor for their empires.

• Xu Jiujiu asked Ye Wen to go onstage and explain the soul bone's danger, and Ye Wen realized she was scheming to involve him.

The Soul Devouring Engraving Knife was revealed as a treasure whose life force could extend a Titled Douluo’s lifespan, and bidding quickly soared. Ye Wen recognized it from his memories and wondered who had purified it, while the auction’s leading bid exposed Tang Wulin’s involvement.

• The auctioneer unveiled the Soul Devouring Engraving Knife, and the life force emanating from it stunned the powerful Soul Masters present.
• Xu Jiujiu and Vina watched Ye Wen for a reaction, but he showed no interest in the knife.
• The auctioneer set the starting bid at fifty million Gold Soul Coins, and bidders rapidly raised the price.
• Ye Wen recalled that Huo Yuhao had bought the knife in the original plot and questioned who had cleansed its evil energy.
• The auctioneer announced that the bid had reached one hundred million Gold Soul Coins, with an important figure from Shrek Academy leading.
• Ye Wen concluded that Tang Wulin was likely behind the bid and suspected Tang San was providing his son with an advantage.

Ye Wen identified the Soul Devouring Engraving Knife as Gold of Life, a life-nurturing treasure that could enhance Soul Guiding Arrays but would kill anyone who tried to refine it. As bidding surged, Xu Jiujiu decided to pursue it for the Star Luo Empire, and Ye Wen advised her to share it with the Heaven Dou Empire and place it at Heavenly Path Academy.

• Ye Wen explained that the knife was Gold of Life, warned that refining it would drain the refiner to death, and told Xu Jiujiu to inform the auctioneer it could only be used as a tool.
• The auctioneer revealed Ye Wen's explanation, reigniting the bidding, while Tang Wulin grew resentful as the price climbed beyond 130 million.
• Xu Jiujiu asked Ye Wen if she could bid, and he encouraged her to buy the treasure to improve young Soul Masters' aptitudes rather than merely extend elders' lives.

• Xu Jiujiu agreed and proposed placing the Gold of Life at Ye Wen's Heavenly Path Academy as the academy's legacy treasure.

Ye Wen agreed to bid on the Life Engraving Knife, and Xu Jiujiu, Jing Hongchen, and Tang Wulin drove its price toward one billion Gold Soul Coins. Tang Wulin left the Shrek group after suspecting the Star Luo Empire was bidding with money it would never have to pay.

• Ye Wen agreed to let Xu Jiujiu and Vina raise the Life Engraving Knife bid to three hundred million Gold Soul Coins.

• Tang Wulin raised the bid to four hundred million despite Wang Yan’s advice that Shrek’s Golden Tree could provide life-force nourishment.
• As the price climbed to nine hundred million, Tang Wulin suspected the Star Luo Empire was using its own auction item to manipulate the bidding and left for the restroom.
• Jing Hongchen bid nine hundred and fifty million, and Xu Jiujiu immediately raised the price to one billion Gold Soul Coins.

• Ye Wen formed a transparent sphere, activated “Overclocking: Red,” and flicked the condensed red sphere toward the fleeing Er Ming.

Ye Wen struck Er Ming with a Space Shockwave, leaving him unable to control his Soul Power, and threatened to kill him despite Er Ming claiming to be a god's Great Priest.

• Ye Wen's Space Shockwave pierced Er Ming's True Body Armor and disrupted the Soul Power in his body.

• Da Ming told Ye Wen he had a way to help him become a god and gain immortality.

Ye Wen forced Da Ming to reveal how to condense a godhood, then warned him and Er Ming not to interfere with Douluo Continent again. After Ye Wen returned to Star Luo unharmed, Da Ming considered the importance of will and prepared to report the mission’s failure to Tang San.

• Da Ming offered to reveal a method for independently condensing a godhood if Ye Wen swore not to share it, and Ye Wen agreed.
• Da Ming explained the method, and Ye Wen withdrew his attack before warning Da Ming and Er Ming not to meddle in Douluo Continent again.

• Ye Wen decided the strength-type right arm bone suited Tang Ya and her hidden weapon techniques.

He gave the Soul Bones to his disciples to refine while wondering how the changes to Huo Yu’er’s world had affected the Sun Moon Empire’s key figures.
