Chapter Summaries

Xiao Xuan and Bibi Dong were caught in a strange encounter in the Rakshasa God Domain, where the Rakshasa God appeared and was devoured by the Three Illusion Gods. Afterward, Bibi Dong ordered Xiao Xuan to keep what happened secret and leave her alone while she cultivated.

• The Three Illusion Gods revealed that Xiao Xuan and Bibi Dong were inside the Rakshasa God Domain, and the Rakshasa God appeared to taunt them.

After leaving Bibi Dong to sort out her feelings, Xiao Xuan met Qian Renxue in the outer city and rejected her proposal to bring Spirit Hall’s grudges into the Spirit Empire. Their lunch revealed her growing interest in him, and the chapter ended with her challenging him to guess why she had returned.

• Bibi Dong glared at Xiao Xuan, who left the secret chamber and decided to keep their encounter from affecting morale before the coming battle.
• A Soul Douluo from the Annihilation Squad told Xiao Xuan that an old acquaintance wanted to see him, so he brought Ghost Chrysanthemum Douluo to investigate the meeting.

• Qian Renxue invited Xiao Xuan to lunch, and they chatted while he avoided responding directly to her flirtation.
• Qian Renxue asked Xiao Xuan to guess why she had returned in her identity as a woman and offered to reward or punish him depending on his answer.

Xiao Xuan won a wager with Qian Renxue, who then began the Angel God Trial while unaware that his planted seeds had activated. Meanwhile, Bibi Dong’s Rakshasa God Trial advanced rapidly, leaving her conflicted about her relationship with Xiao Xuan.

• Xiao Xuan guessed that Qian Renxue had returned to undertake the Angel God Trial, won their wager, and left without claiming his reward.

• Qian Renliu promised not to harm Xiao Xuan while Qian Renxue was away and encouraged her to become strong enough to claim what she wanted.
• Bibi Dong sensed Qian Renxue beginning the trial and discovered that her own Rakshasa cultivation had broken through its bottleneck after becoming intimate with Xiao Xuan.

After two months of cultivation and political developments, Xiao Xuan discovered that Tang San and Yu Xiaogang were using a decoy deployment to target the Spirit Empire on two fronts. He set out to command the western front near his hometown of Nuoding City, determined to make them pay for the attack.

• Xiao Xuan cultivated while Bibi Dong remained in seclusion and Qian Renxue’s Angel God trial progressed slowly.
• Dai Mubai took the throne of the Star Luo Empire, which deployed two hundred thousand troops near Spirit City and provoked the Spirit Empire.
• Xiao Xuan ordered Xie Yue and Yan to lead forces against the Star Luo troops while he investigated their movements.
• Xiao Xuan learned that the large deployment was a decoy: Tang Sect forces gathered near Geng Xin City, while another attack targeted Nuoding City.
• Xiao Xuan assigned Nana to guard Spirit City, divided command of the eastern and western fronts, and headed to Nuoding City.

Yu Xiaogang arranged for Star Luo Empire’s forces to attack Nuoding City, but Xiao Xuan arrived first with reinforcements and took command of the city’s defenders. The attack began that night, and Zhao Wuji stormed the City Lord’s Manor before recognizing Xiao Xuan.

• Yu Xiaogang pressured the Nuoding Academy headmaster into helping Star Luo Empire’s attack and arranged for Zhao Wuji to kill the Soul Sage defending the city.
• Xiao Xuan arrived with Ghost Douluo, Chrysanthemum Douluo, and elite Soul Douluo, then secured command at the City Lord’s Manor.
• Ghost Douluo scouted the enemy force waiting outside, and Xiao Xuan chose to wait for the attack rather than act rashly.
• Star Luo Empire’s forces launched their surprise attack, and Zhao Wuji kicked open the City Lord’s Manor gates to challenge its defenders.
• Zhao Wuji began using his second soul skill, then stopped in surprise when he saw Xiao Xuan.

Xiao Xuan confronted Zhao Wuji at the City Lord's Manor, where Zhao Wuji attacked after seeing that Xiao Xuan was accompanied by powerful reinforcements. Xiao Xuan overwhelmed him with his domain and soul skills, leaving Zhao Wuji weakened and stripped of his Martial Soul Avatar.

• Zhao Wuji recognized Xiao Xuan and decided to kill him, believing Xiao Xuan was far weaker than himself.
• Xiao Xuan revealed ten Soul Douluo and Ghost Chrysanthemum Douluo, who then left the fight to him.
• Zhao Wuji activated his Martial Soul Avatar and attacked Xiao Xuan with a series of gravity and soul skills.
• Xiao Xuan's domain neutralized Zhao Wuji's gravity attacks, and the Giant Soldier struck Zhao Wuji aside.
• Xiao Xuan used Sky Dragon's First Soul Skill to overwhelm Zhao Wuji's eighth soul skill, then used his sixth soul ring to weaken him and dispel his Martial Soul Avatar.

Xiao Xuan weakened Zhao Wuji’s Martial Soul and stopped him from escaping, but Zhao Wuji chose suicide rather than be captured. After Ghost Douluo and Chrysanthemum Douluo returned from the battle, they showed Xiao Xuan Zhuge Crossbows, prompting him to plan how to distribute Spirit Power Cards.

• Xiao Xuan used Realm Weakening to seal Zhao Wuji’s sixth and seventh soul rings.
• Zhao Wuji tried to flee, but Xiao Xuan struck him with Sacred Hand and embedded him in a wall.
• Zhao Wuji destroyed his own internal organs rather than be captured, and Xiao Xuan respected his choice as he died.
• Ghost and Chrysanthemum Douluo returned after defeating the attackers, while the Annihilation Squad cleaned up the battlefield.
• Chrysanthemum Douluo showed Xiao Xuan the Zhuge Crossbows taken from the enemy, and Xiao Xuan decided it was time to distribute Spirit Power Cards.

Xiao Xuan prepared to distribute his Spirit Power Cards after helping defend Nuo City, where Yu Xiaogang’s covert plan failed. After returning to Spirit City, he received an urgent report that Xie Yue and Yan’s forces were in serious trouble at Geng Xin City.

• Xiao Xuan offered Ghost Chrysanthemum Douluo first choice of his stockpile of Spirit Power Cards and checked the battle report from Nuo City.
• The Annihilation Squad reported that Nuo City’s defenders had repelled the attack, killed 134 hostile soul masters and over 2,300 soldiers, and uncovered a Star Luo Empire insider at Notting Academy.
• Xiao Xuan ordered the captured academy dean interrogated and stayed in Nuo City, where he drew a Sealed Left Hand card and learned Yu Xiaogang had escaped before the battle.
• Xiao Xuan, Ghost Douluo, and Chrysanthemum Douluo returned to Spirit City after several days, intending to distribute the cards.
• Xiao Xuan received an urgent report that tens of thousands of enemy troops had attacked Geng Xin City with Hidden Weapons, severely wounding the Titled elder accompanying Xie Yue and putting the defenders in danger.

As Shrek’s move toward all-out war became clear, Bibi Dong ordered Xiao Xuan and the elders to prepare to support Geng Xin City. Alone with Xiao Xuan, she confronted him about their intimate encounter, questioned his divine martial souls, and revealed that she thought she was pregnant.

• Ghost Chrysanthemum Douluo concluded that Shrek was exploiting the Spirit Empire’s weakness to start an all-out war, and Ghost Douluo urged Xiao Xuan to be wary of the Angel Lineage.
• Bibi Dong summoned Xiao Xuan and Ghost Chrysanthemum Douluo, then ordered Xiao Xuan to join the elders supporting Geng Xin City after resting for half a day.
• After the elders left, Bibi Dong reminded Xiao Xuan of their encounter two months earlier, and Xiao Xuan said he would take responsibility.
• Bibi Dong asked Xiao Xuan to explain his martial souls and the divine auras she had sensed, suspecting he possessed the Three Illusion Gods Martial Soul.
• Bibi Dong told Xiao Xuan that she had felt something wrong with her body during cultivation and thought she was pregnant.

Xiao Xuan learned that Bibi Dong was pregnant with his child, then left to lead Spirit Hall’s reinforcements toward the border as she stayed behind. The force reached the city and found signs that something was wrong.

• Bibi Dong told Xiao Xuan she was pregnant to confirm his involvement, denied that she had feelings for him, and asked whether his martial souls were connected to gods.
• Xiao Xuan admitted that his martial souls were divine, and Bibi Dong explained that her pregnancy would force her to pause her God Trial and avoid the war.
• Bibi Dong ordered Xiao Xuan to handle affairs outside Pope’s Palace and leave her undisturbed unless necessary, so he departed with Ghost and Chrysanthemum Douluo.
• Xiao Xuan told Chrysanthemum Douluo that Bibi Dong had warned him about Star Luo’s schemes and the Tang Sect’s hidden weapons in Geng Xin City.
• Xiao Xuan and the others joined five hundred Spirit Hall reinforcements, including two Titled Douluo, and reached the border city, where they noticed something was wrong.

Xiao Xuan’s reinforcements arrived as the Star Luo army attacked the border city, and he led Spirit Masters into the streets despite the Eighth Elder’s objections. He activated Olihargon’s Barrier over the city, making Spirit Masters immune to attacks from ordinary people, then announced the new rules to the stunned armies.

• Xiao Xuan saw the city burning and ordered his troops to seal the escape routes while Spirit Masters charged into the city.
• The Eighth Elder warned that sending Spirit Masters ahead would expose them to arrows and Tang Sect Hidden Weapons, but Xiao Xuan insisted and Chrysanthemum Douluo backed him.
• More than five hundred Spirit King-rank experts and stronger fighters entered the city and counterattacked the Star Luo army of one hundred thousand.
• Xiao Xuan activated the Spirit Power Card for Environmental Magic, Olihargon's Barrier, which spread over the city and shielded Spirit Masters from attacks by ordinary people.
• Star Luo soldiers’ Hidden Weapons failed to harm Spirit Masters, and Xiao Xuan used a loudspeaker Soul Guiding Device to explain the barrier’s rules.

Xiao Xuan used Olyha-Gon's Barrier to help Spirit Hall crush the Star Luo Empire’s attack and drive its army from the city. As the defenders reviewed the battle, they suspected the assault was a costly diversion but could not determine what the Star Luo Empire was concealing.

• Xiao Xuan maintained Olyha-Gon's Barrier, preventing soldiers from attacking Soul Masters while Ghost Chrysanthemum Douluo and five elders defeated the Star Luo Soul Masters.
• The Star Luo forces fled the city after their Titled Douluo was gravely injured, leaving their hundred-thousand-strong army without leadership.
• Spirit Hall’s forces killed or captured more than fifty thousand soldiers over two hours, while the rest scattered and escaped.
• Xiao Xuan learned from Xie Yue and Yan that the Star Luo army had seemed to be probing rather than trying to occupy territory.
• A bespectacled Soul Douluo noted that Star Luo had mobilized only a small fraction of its forces and suggested the attack had been meant to draw Spirit Hall’s attention.

Dai Mubai reported that the plan to harass the Spirit Empire had failed, costing many troops and Zhao Wuji's life at Xiao Xuan's hands. Yu Xiaogang and Tang San revealed that the operation was meant to distract the enemy while Tang Hao pursued an Asura God trial, leaving Shrek confident that his power would grow.

• Dai Mubai told Yu Xiaogang, Tang San, and the others that the troops sent to Nuo City had been wiped out, Geng Xin City had suffered heavy casualties, and the plan had bought less than half a month.
• Dai Mubai reported that Zhao Wuji had died in Nuo City after Xiao Xuan killed him, devastating Flander and the Shrek group.
• Dai Mubai suspected that an insider had leaked their plans, since Xiao Xuan had appeared at both battlefields and Spirit Hall had responded so quickly.
• Yu Xiaogang explained that the failed operation had still distracted the Spirit Empire while Tang Hao pursued a god's power.
• Tang Hao appeared and revealed that he had become the Asura God's representative and qualified for a God Trial, though completing it would take time.
• Tang Hao said he would follow the plan and rely on the Asura God's guidance to grow stronger than Bibi Dong, and the Shrek group took this as a sign that victory was assured.

Tang Hao emerged from seclusion restored by the Asura God's divine power and planned to gather allies for Star Luo against Spirit Hall. Tang San agreed to investigate Sea God Island and watch for evidence that the Heaven Dou Emperor was Spirit Hall's puppet.

• The Asura God chose Tang Hao as a spokesperson to rebuild Slaughter City, investigate Xiao Xuan, and pursue revenge for the destroyed inheritance.
• Tang Hao emerged with abundant essence blood, overflowing Soul Power, and his regrown arm, while Tang San envied his recovery and blamed Xiao Xuan for his own troubles.
• Tang Hao decided to bring the Clear Sky Sect out of seclusion and recruit its Titled Douluo to help Star Luo, using force if its elders refused.
• Yu Xiaogang urged Tang San to visit Sea God Island and seek the Sea Soul Masters as allies against Spirit Hall.
• Tang San agreed to go to Sea God Island and asked Yu Xiaogang to watch the Heavenly Dou Imperial Family for evidence that Xue Qinghe was Spirit Hall's puppet.

Xiao Xuan prepared the Spirit Empire for war and went to the Worship Hall to seek Qian Daoliu’s cooperation. When Qian Renxue’s Angel God trial reached its final stage, Xiao Xuan used a divine seed to infiltrate the opening to the Douluo God Realm, then continued toward Qian Daoliu.

• Xiao Xuan ordered investigations into Tang San’s plans and preparations for a decisive battle, then decided to seek the Worship Hall’s support.
• Xiao Xuan sensed Qian Renxue undergoing the final stage of her Angel God trial and used the divine seed inside her to enter the opening behind the Angel God statue.
• Xiao Xuan tried to observe the Douluo God Realm through the seed, but the attempt nearly injured him, so he stopped and recovered.
• Xiao Xuan climbed the Sacred Mountain steps to face Qian Daoliu.

Xiao Xuan visited Worship Hall to ask its enshriners to help Spirit Empire defeat its enemies, then met Qian Daoliu, who assured him that the Angel Lineage would support the campaign. Xiao Xuan ignored Qian Daoliu’s explanations after noticing the dense Angel Divine Power around him and decided to absorb it.

• Xiao Xuan entered Worship Hall and received a warm welcome from Golden Crocodile Douluo and five other enshriners.
• Xiao Xuan asked the enshriners to support Spirit Empire against Star Luo Empire and the schemes involving Tang Hao.
• Golden Crocodile Douluo told Xiao Xuan to meet Qian Daoliu, who held the final authority in Worship Hall.
• Xiao Xuan entered the Angel inheritance area and released divine power, prompting Qian Daoliu to recognize that he was god-chosen.
• Qian Daoliu promised that the Angel Lineage would support Spirit Hall, while Xiao Xuan focused on absorbing the dense Angel Divine Power around him.

Xiao Xuan absorbed divine power from the Angel Domain to restore the Three Illusion Gods, while carefully ensuring Qian Renxue’s God Trial would not be disrupted. He left Qian Daoliu suspecting he had been tricked, with Qian Renxue’s progress deliberately slowed to protect Bibi Dong and Xiao Xuan.

• The Three Illusion Gods prepared to absorb the Angel Domain’s divine power, and Qian Daoliu praised Xiao Xuan’s Martial Souls before proposing that he join the Angel Lineage and marry Qian Renxue.
• Qian Daoliu admitted he had ordered the earlier assassination, but Xiao Xuan declined to discuss joining the lineage or marrying Qian Renxue until she emerged from seclusion.
• Xiao Xuan asked permission to cultivate, then absorbed divine power at a rate that weakened the domain without interrupting Qian Renxue’s God Trial.
• Xiao Xuan intentionally slowed Qian Renxue’s progress to protect Bibi Dong and himself, while the Three Illusion Gods recovered and grew more solid.
• Xiao Xuan left, and Qian Daoliu realized he might have been tricked into letting him absorb divine power.

Xiao Xuan persuaded Qian Renliu to prepare for war, then ordered Spirit Hall forces to attack the Clear Sky Sect after Tang Hao returned there. After advancing to level seventy-six through cultivation, Xiao Xuan learned the operation had failed and that Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo had been badly injured.

• Xiao Xuan convinced Qian Renliu to prepare the Heaven Dou Empire for war and urged the offerings to make their arrangements.
• Ghost Chrysanthemum Douluo reported that Tang Hao had returned to the Clear Sky Sect and caused destruction, so Xiao Xuan sent Spirit Hall forces to investigate and attack.
• Xiao Xuan stayed behind to cultivate while the women remained in seclusion, and he rose from level seventy-three to level seventy-six.
• Xiao Xuan met Chrysanthemum Douluo after the operation and learned that the Clear Sky Sect plan had failed, several offerings were injured, and Ghost Douluo and Chrysanthemum Douluo were badly hurt.

Chrysanthemum Douluo told Xiao Xuan that Tang Hao had returned with both arms, overwhelming strength, and a strange divine power, allowing the Clear Sky Sect to escape Spirit Hall’s attack. After learning that Heaven Dou was engulfed in rebellion, Xiao Xuan decided to strike the Star Luo Empire before suppressing the rebellion himself.

• Chrysanthemum Douluo reported that Tang Hao had subdued the Clear Sky Sect’s elders and fought Spirit Hall’s forces, overpowering Golden Crocodile Douluo and resisting the Two-Level Reversal Domain.
• Tang Hao and Tang Xiao held back Spirit Hall’s Titled Douluo while the Clear Sky Sect evacuated, leaving both sides injured and neither side’s Titled Douluo dead.
• Xiao Xuan concluded that Tang Hao’s strange power likely came from a deity’s God Trial and that the Star Luo Empire’s earlier maneuvers had helped conceal his strength.
• Chrysanthemum Douluo reported that Ge Long and Royal Academy officials had raised hundreds of thousands of rebels against Xue Qinghe in the Heaven Dou Empire.
• Xiao Xuan ordered Chrysanthemum Douluo to prepare for an attack on the Star Luo Empire and said he would take the Annihilation Squad to deal with the Heaven Dou rebellion.

Xiao Xuan infiltrated the Heaven Dou rebel headquarters but was discovered by Blazing Sun Douluo before he could reach the new emperor. As the two prepared to fight, Xiao Xuan revealed his three martial souls and twenty-one black soul rings, leaving Blazing Sun Douluo stunned.

• Marshal Gelong and the three principals discussed how to seize Heaven Dou Imperial City and asked whether their two new reinforcements could be trusted.
• An explosion outside alerted the rebel leaders that Blazing Sun Douluo had encountered an intruder, and Marshal Gelong led the principals to investigate.
• Xiao Xuan identified Blazing Sun Douluo as a Clear Sky Sect elder and ordered the Annihilation Squad to hold back the surrounding soldiers.
• Blazing Sun Douluo charged Xiao Xuan with his hammer, blaming Spirit Hall for his son's death and vowing to take revenge.
• Xiao Xuan summoned his three martial souls and revealed twenty-one black soul rings, shocking Blazing Sun Douluo into stopping in his tracks.
