Chapter Summaries

Xu Yu commissioned Golden Goose to build a more comfortable vehicle, then discovered that A Lan had evolved into a human-form Blue Silver King and become his Life Guardian Battle Beast. He settled in to review the Treasure Codex and asked Moss Head about the fruits and equipment connected to his Sea Island avatar.

• Golden Goose promised to build Xu Yu a vehicle within three days and said Tang Yuehua would overlook the previous night if he helped Tang Hao escape Spirit Hall's pursuit.
• Tang Yuehua watched the caravan leave Heaven Dou City, mourned Tang Hao, and blamed Salas for her humiliation.
• Xu Yu checked the Treasure Codex and found that A Lan had become a fifty-thousand-year Blue Silver King with the Blue Silver Domain and the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud.

• A Lan hugged Xu Yu and fell asleep beside him while Moss Head admitted he had used Dugu Bo's fruit on the Sea Island avatar.
• Xu Yu asked Moss Head about the nearly mature fruits in Spirit City and whether to bring back the Coiled Dragon Staff and another staff.

Xu Yu learned that the Chaos Ancient Tree’s ripened fruits could become martial souls or powerful weapons, while the convoy continued toward the Extreme North. On Sea Island, the fruits became a Coiled Dragon Staff and a Golden Crocodile King, and another fruit gave an ordinary fisherman Soul Master abilities, sparking a craze for the fruits later named Devil Fruits.

• Xu Yu learned that fruit ripening depended on how complete its absorbed rules were and that the Golden Crocodile King was roughly fifteen thousand years old.

• A fruit on the Chaos Ancient Tree’s Sea Island clone ripened into a Coiled Dragon Staff, and two days later another became a Golden Crocodile King that nearly killed the Soul Ancestor Scar.
• Sea Soul Masters spread rumors about the tree’s fruits, and Zhu Zhuyun heard of the staff and Golden Crocodile King and set out for Sea Island.
• An ordinary fisherman ate a Devil Tree fruit and gained Soul Master abilities but could not absorb Soul Rings and became unable to live at sea, prompting commoners to call the fruits Devil Fruits.
• Moss Head learned that a fruit had been eaten before its rules were perfected, and Xu Yu judged the resulting power nearly worthless.

Tang San and Tang Hao planned to escape Spirit Hall’s blockade and reach the Star Luo Empire, while Xu Yu captured an Ice Jade Scorpion in the Extreme North and forced it to sign a contract. Xu Yu reassured the frightened scorpion that it could grow stronger and might eventually earn its freedom, then opened the Summoning Tome to inspect it.

• Tang San told Tang Hao he wanted to serve the Star Luo Empire’s crown prince and help fight Spirit Hall and recover Xiao Wu, and Tang Hao urged him to stay alive.

• Xu Yu opened the Summoning Tome to check the Ice Jade Scorpion’s information.

Xu Yu claimed the Ice Jade Scorpion, named it Old Bi, and considered possible soul beasts for his sixth soul ring before the Treasure Codex detected a powerful beast nearby. After Xu Yu headed toward the new target, the Sky Water Dean and Shui Bing'er arrived too late to contact Tang Hao and considered infiltrating Spirit Hall instead.

• Xu Yu learned that the Ice Jade Scorpion had the Ice Burst Technique and named it Old Bi.
• Old Bi recommended the Mermaid Princesses for their spiritual power, but Xu Yu also learned about the terrifying Heavenly Snow Woman and abandoned the idea of approaching her.
• Moss Head reported that the Treasure Codex had detected a powerful soul beast defying fate, so Xu Yu traveled toward it with A Lan, Moss Head, and Old Bi.
• The Sky Water Dean and Shui Bing'er arrived where Xu Yu had been and realized they could no longer earn his trust or warn Tang Hao directly.
• The Sky Water Dean explained that Spirit Hall had found Tang Hao's trail first, and the group considered infiltrating Spirit Hall to wait for an opportunity.

Xu Yu pursued the Soul Beast that had stirred the Summoning Tome, but an avalanche and a pursuing Hundred-Thousand-Year Titan Snow Demon Ape forced him into a desperate fight in the Extreme North. As Xu Yu launched a powerful attack to buy time, the Skywater Academy group spotted the battle from afar.

• The Sky Water Dean and Shui Bing'er decided to wait for Xu Yu and join his team when he returned.
• Xu Yu crossed the frozen wilderness on Old Bi while Moss Head and A Lan remained in the Tome, and he prepared to encounter the Soul Beast that had triggered it.
• An avalanche swept down the mountain, so Xu Yu flew upward with Old Bi hanging from his shoulder; Old Bi then warned him that a Titan Snow Demon Ape was pursuing them.
• Xu Yu ordered Old Bi to scatter Ice Burst Techniques and summoned A Lan and Moss Head to help restrain the Titan Snow Demon Ape.
• A Lan's Vast Sea Raging Waves and Universe Demon Breaking struck the Titan Snow Demon Ape, but the beam pierced only its arm, so Xu Yu ordered a second Universe Demon Breaking attack.
• The Skywater Academy group saw the distant clash, while Xu Yu prepared to blast apart the snowy summit to escape.

Xu Yu lured the enraged Titan Snow Demon Ape into an ambush, but the explosion left him gravely injured and unconscious. A Lan rescued him and called Ah Yin to treat him, leaving Xu Yu alive but still recovering in a cave.

• Xu Yu used the Chaos Ancient Tree to wound the Titan Snow Demon Ape and lured it up a snowy peak while the Ice Jade Scorpion prepared an Ice Burst ambush.

• Ah Yin confirmed that Xu Yu was no longer in immediate danger and returned control of the body to A Lan, who worried about being left alone with him.

After recovering from the explosion, Xu Yu found an icy pool filled with ice marrow and used it to heal the Ice Jade Scorpion. At the bottom, he encountered Snow Empress as she was withdrawing from her Form Transformation, and the Treasure Codex automatically sent a contract into her brow, prompting her to threaten self-destruction.

• The Treasure Codex sent a contract into Snow Empress's brow, and she raged against being enslaved and threatened to destroy herself.

Xu Yu accepted the sacrifices of a hundred-thousand-year Snow Lotus and the Heavenly Snow Woman, breaking through to Soul Saint and gaining a powerful soul ring and soul bone. As he tested his Martial Soul Avatar, he declared himself a battle mage, while the spectacle drew the attention of Spirit Hall’s Titled Douluo and left Tang Hao grieving over Ah Yin.

• The Snow Empress agreed to the contract after Xu Yu let her test it on a hundred-thousand-year Snow Lotus, which sacrificed itself and pushed him to Level Sixty-Four.
• The Snow Empress chose to sacrifice herself as well, and Xu Yu absorbed her ice-and-snow insights as the Treasure Codex recorded their contract.

• Xu Yu activated his Martial Soul Avatar, flew high above the cold pool, and proclaimed himself a battle mage.

After gaining powerful ice-based soul skills from the Snow Lotus sacrifice, Xu Yu reunited with the Spirit Hall convoy and openly displayed his strength. He gathered the Pope’s Palace forces and began reorganizing them into groups, while the Skywater Academy team followed from a distance.

• Xu Yu examined his new Snow Lotus soul skills, including his Snow Empress Possession, ice attacks, and freezing domain.
• Xu Yu flew toward the convoy, and Shui Bing'er and the Sky Water Dean recognized that his power had become formidable before leading their group south.

After learning that the Treasure Codex had chosen him through the arrangement of a powerful being, Xu Yu resolved to focus on strengthening himself and sent Xue Nu to retrieve the Ice Jade Scorpion and plant a seed at the cold pool. Spirit Hall confirmed Tang Hao’s location and prepared to involve Xu Yu in an operation aimed at claiming a 100,000-year Spirit Bone.

• Qian Renxue returned in anger, while Xu Yu felt uneasy and wondered whether the Heavenly Snow Woman’s sacrifice had caused an unsuppressed phenomenon.

Xu Yu stayed close to Golden Goose because he feared Thousand Jun Douluo and Demon Subduing Douluo, while Snow Woman returned to the Extreme North and planted the Seed. It grew into the Ice Snow Great Tree, which Snow Empress absorbed into the Treasure Codex, awakening Moss Head and linking the new tree to the Chaos Ancient Tree.
