Chapter Summaries

Chen An refined the true bodies of six Transformed Immortal Herbs while Gu Yue Na used the Dragon God's Heart to preserve their souls and move them into Dragon Valley Space. After revealing her identity as the Silver Dragon Queen, Gu Yue Na returned to find Chen An considering how to use the ice- and fire-attributed Essence Pearls.

• Chen An used the Devouring Sky Cauldron to refine the Lovesick Heartbreak Red into an Essence Pearl, bypassing its true-love restriction.
• Gu Yue Na agreed to use the Dragon God's Heart to preserve the souls of the Transformed Immortal Herbs while Chen An refined their true bodies.
• Chen An refined Aromatic Silk Beauty first, and Gu Yue Na successfully preserved his soul and consciousness.
• Chen An then refined Earth Dragon Golden Gourd, Ink Jade Divine Bamboo, Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew, Infernal Delicate Apricot, and Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass, while Gu Yue Na brought their souls into Dragon Valley Space with the Seven-Colored Crystal.
• Gu Yue Na revealed her identity as the Silver Dragon Queen to the herbs, then returned to the Icefire Yin Yang Well.
• Chen An debated whether to use both ice and fire Essence Pearls for an Icefire Golden Body Refinement or save one for later.

Chen An absorbed the Infernal Delicate Apricot and Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass at the Icefire Yin Yang Well, completing Icefire Golden Body Refinement and gaining a stronger physique and apparent immunity to ice and fire. After he emerged naked because the spring had ruined his clothes, Gu Yue Na blushed, and she asked him what benefits he had gained.

• Gu Yue Na advised Chen An to absorb fire first and try Icefire Golden Body Refinement, and he agreed.
• Chen An swallowed the Infernal Delicate Apricot's Essence Pearl, then the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass's Energy Pearl, and guided their conflicting energies into his sixth fruit.
• Chen An used the Icefire Yin Yang Well and his Devouring Power to harmonize the energies and temper his body, finishing the refinement in just over three hours.
• Chen An estimated that his physique had grown thirty to forty percent stronger and found he could no longer feel the spring's temperature.
• Chen An leaped out of the water without clothes, making Gu Yue Na turn away and blush before asking about his gains.

Chen An reported that the Icefire Yin Yang Well had strengthened his body and made him immune to ice and fire, then descended to absorb the Fire Dragon King's dragon soul and gather energy. Above, Di Tian warned Gu Yue Na that Chen An might become too powerful to control, but she defended Chen An and silenced him; Chen An began summoning the Creation Holy Tree below.

• Chen An told Gu Yue Na that his physique had improved and he had gained immunity to ice and fire, though his Soul Power had not yet broken through.
• Chen An descended alone into the Yang Spring to absorb the Fire Dragon King's dragon soul and gather energy with the Creation Holy Tree.
• Di Tian warned Gu Yue Na that Chen An's rapid growth could make him stronger than them and urged her to restrain him.
• Gu Yue Na rejected Di Tian's warning, declared that Chen An would not dominate them, and threatened him with dragon clan bloodline suppression if he repeated it.
• Chen An summoned the Creation Holy Tree in the scorching Yang Spring, where it remained unharmed by the heat.

Chen An absorbed the Fire Dragon King's soul and bones to fill the Creation Holy Tree's sixth fruit, then began forming his fire-attribute ability as a Phoenix. Gu Yue Na watched the Yang Spring boil, anxiously waiting to learn whether he had succeeded.

• Chen An absorbed the Fire Dragon King's dragon soul, filling the sixth fruit halfway and using its soul origin to nurture a third Undead Puppet.
• Chen An discovered that the Creation Holy Tree could directly absorb fire-attribute energy from the Fire Dragon King's bones, and he filled the fruit with the remaining energy.
• Chen An chose the Phoenix for his fire-attribute ability because of its powerful flames, immortality, and ability to be reborn through nirvana.
• Chen An began contemplating the Phoenix as Yang Spring energy gathered around its forming image.
• Gu Yue Na saw the Yang Spring boiling and bubbling, and anxiously wondered whether Chen An had succeeded.

Chen An emerged from the Yang Spring with a powerful Phoenix Bloodline, demonstrated its flames, and returned with Gu Yue Na to discuss its abilities. The Icefire Yin Yang Well was left stripped of nearly all its valuable treasures, and Chen An anticipated gaining traits of immortality from his new Bloodline.

• A flaming divine bird burst from the Yang Spring, and Chen An revealed himself as a Phoenix before flying above the valley.
• Chen An ended his flight, changed into fresh clothes, and told Gu Yue Na he called his new Bloodline the Phoenix.
• Gu Yue Na and Chen An left with Di Tian, while Chen An recalled the lingering Undying Flame to erase any traces.
• The Icefire Yin Yang Well was left without its most valuable treasures, including the six immortal herbs capable of taking human form.
• Back at Sun Moon Royal Academy, Chen An explained to Gu Yue Na that the Phoenix granted flames stronger than ultimate fire and an undying trait.

Chen An revealed the Eternal Divine Fire Clock to Gu Yue Na, then told Xu Lin he had reached Soul Power Level fifty-two. They arranged to travel to the Abyss Battlefield by Central Legion fighter jet the next day, partly to test whether the Tang Sect would attempt to kill Chen An.

• Chen An demonstrated the Eternal Divine Fire Clock, whose flames covered a five-hundred-meter radius and could threaten even Gu Yue Na.
• Gu Yue Na decided to focus on cultivating and absorbing her remaining Soul Bones so she could keep pace with Chen An.
• Chen An told Xu Lin that he had reached Soul Power Level fifty-two, and they planned to leave for the Abyss Battlefield the next day.
• Xu Lin and Chen An chose to travel aboard a Central Legion fighter jet rather than have Di Tian transport them, to test how far the Tang Sect would go to attack Chen An.
• Chen An told Gu Yue Na about the plan, and she agreed to accompany him, eager to see the Abyss Channel and confront anyone who attacked.

Chen An and Gu Yue Na discussed the Abyss threat and prepared for a possible ambush before entering the Dragon Valley Space, where Chen An used the Suiyue Liuli Lamp to raise the Fire Dragon King's soul. The Fire Dragon King emerged as a massive dragon wreathed in gray deathfire.

• Chen An and Gu Yue Na considered the Abyss Channel's threat and how Tang Sect and Shrek Academy might disguise an attack.
• Gu Yue Na explained that the Aromatic Silk Beauty's Essence Pearl could conceal the soul beast auras of their allies, making it easier for them to join a fight.
• Chen An and Gu Yue Na entered the Dragon Valley Space, where he activated the Suiyue Liuli Lamp and began devouring dragon souls while Gu Yue Na cultivated.
• Chen An judged that he could bear the birth of one more undead puppet, but creating a fourth would risk killing him through backlash.
• A death vortex opened above the Burial Grounds, and the Fire Dragon King emerged as a gigantic dragon surrounded by gray deathfire.

Chen An completed the Fire Dragon King Undead Puppet, then won a tense contest to keep the powerful dragon under his control. After Gu Yue Na absorbed a Soul Bone, Chen An and the academy’s directors set out for West Mountain, with Xu Lin newly advanced to Level 99.

• The Fire Dragon King Undead Puppet appeared with the power of a peak Level 99 demigod, and Gu Yue Na recognized his awakened will might make him resist Chen An.
• Chen An clashed wills with the Fire Dragon King for more than ten minutes until the dragon lowered his head and accepted Chen An’s control.
• Chen An and Gu Yue Na returned to their dormitory, rested under the Suiyue Liuli Lamp, and then reentered Dragon Valley Space to cultivate.
• Gu Yue Na absorbed a left arm Soul Bone, gained a Soul Power level, and continued consolidating her cultivation.
• Chen An, Gu Yue Na, Xu Lin, and seven academy directors rode a bus toward West Mountain, while Xu Lin’s recent breakthrough had made him a Level 99 Soul Master.

Chen An and Xu Lang traveled with a large escort to the Central Legion, where Yu Guanzhi lent them a stealthy Black Hawk Fighter for the trip to the Abyss Battlefield. Cang Xin learned of their departure and warned Cao Dezhi, as they feared Chen An could use his status as First War God to secure a senior colonel rank.

• Chen An and his companions reached the Central Legion after noticing a Tang Sect tail had followed their bus.
• Yu Guanzhi showed Xu Lang and Chen An the Black Hawk Fighter and lent it to them for the journey, while joking that damage would require compensation through military funding.
• Xu Lang, Chen An, and their party boarded the fighter with two experienced pilots, and it flew west toward the Abyss Battlefield.
• A Central Legion officer secretly reported the fighter's departure to an informant, who passed the news to Cang Xin.
• Cang Xin told Cao Dezhi that Chen An might be traveling by fighter and warned that Zhang Huanyun could let him exchange Merit Points for a senior colonel rank.

Cang Xin and Cao Dezhi planned to kill Chen An by using Abyss Creatures or ambushing him, and they gathered allies from Shrek Academy, the Tang Sect, and the Clear Sky Sect. As Chen An traveled to the Abyss Battlefield, he sensed an unexplained warning of danger from his Fate Power.

• Cang Xin proposed forcing Chen An into the Abyss Channel and, if that failed, intercepting him with Cao Dezhi and Yun Ming.
• Cao Dezhi agreed to the plan and set out to draw powerful Abyss Creatures while Cang Xin contacted Yun Ming and Tang Zhan.
• Yun Ming agreed to lead experts, and Tang Zhan promised to bring ten Titled Douluos from the Clear Sky Sect.
• Cang Xin decided to bring additional Tang Sect experts and anticipated that their combined forces could kill Chen An and his protector.
• Aboard the fighter jet, Chen An felt inexplicably uneasy and suspected his Fate Power was warning him of danger.

Chen An and the Central Legion delegation arrived at the Blood God Legion’s base above the Abyss Channel, where they were received by Legion Commander Zhang Huanyun. Cang Xin watched their arrival with hostile intent, leaving the delegation in a dangerous situation.

• Chen An sensed a coming battle and secretly used Fate Power and Time Power to watch for danger during the flight.
• The Black Hawk Fighter entered Blood God Legion territory, passed its security scans, and flew to the snow-covered mountaintop surrounding the Abyss Channel.
• The delegation saw the enormous dark opening and the black mist, which special Soul Tools absorbed before it could spread.
• Cang Xin watched the fighter arrive and coldly thought that its passengers would not return safely.
• Xu Lang led the fourteen members of the delegation off the fighter and greeted Zhang Huanyun, the Blood God Legion’s Legion Commander.

Chen An considered how to earn Zhang Huanyun’s support without giving the Blood God Legion reason to keep him there. After Xu Lang and Zhang Huanyun reunited, they headed to the command headquarters, where Chen An encountered Zang Xin.

• Zhang Huanyun admired Chen An’s extraordinary growth and hoped he could help resolve the Abyss threat.
• Chen An decided not to reveal that his Devouring Sky Cauldron could refine Abyss energy and permanently kill Abyss Creatures, fearing Zhang Huanyun might keep him in the legion.
• Xu Lang and Zhang Huanyun greeted each other after years apart, and Zhang Huanyun led the group toward his command headquarters.
• Chen An’s expression turned cold when he encountered Zang Xin outside the landing area.

Cang Xin tried to stop Chen An from joining the Blood God Legion and using his Merit Points without serving, arguing that it would harm the legion. Chen An and Xu Lang countered that Cang Xin had earned the points by killing Abyss Creatures because of their wager, but Cang Xin ended the argument by insisting on his demand.

• Cang Xin arrived and glared at Chen An, while Xu Lang and Xu Lin moved to shield him.
• Zhang Huanyun told Cang Xin that Chen An was completing the procedures to join the Blood God Legion.
• Cang Xin demanded that Chen An serve in the legion for at least one month before using his Merit Points and leaving.
• Xu Lang and Zhang Huanyun argued that Chen An’s points represented contributions made through Cang Xin’s Abyss Creature kills under their wager.
• Cang Xin dismissed their reasoning and insisted that Chen An must serve in the Blood God Legion.

Cang Xin threatened to withdraw Tang Sect and Shrek Academy personnel from the Blood God Legion if Chen An was allowed to use Merit Points he had not earned. Zhang Huanyun held firm on Chen An’s transfer, while Xu Lin challenged Cang Xin’s claim that those two organizations were the Legion’s greatest contributors.

• Xu Lang said Chen An’s transfer was authorized by military procedure, and Zhang Huanyun agreed that Chen An should temporarily serve in another legion.
• Cang Xin warned Zhang Huanyun that the Tang Sect and Shrek Academy might leave the Abyss Battlefield if Chen An received unearned Merit Points.
• Zhang Huanyun asked whether Cang Xin was threatening him, as officers around them reacted tensely to the possibility of a mass withdrawal.
• Cang Xin argued that allowing Chen An to benefit without effort insulted those who had died resisting the abyss, leaving Zhang Huanyun without an easy reply.
• Xu Lin countered that the Sun Moon Royal Academy, War God Hall, and Spirit Pagoda had also contributed greatly, pointing to the heavy death toll among Sun Moon Royal Academy graduates.

Xu Lin warned Cang Xin that Federation law forbade Tang Sect and Shrek Academy's powerful fighters from leaving the Blood God Legion without approval, but Cang Xin remained determined to withdraw them unless Chen An was denied the use of his Merit Points. Zhang Huanyun recognized that Cang Xin would risk weakening the Abyss Battlefield, leaving him with no clear way to avert the confrontation without endangering Chen An.

• Xu Lin argued that the Federation deserved most of the credit for resisting the Abyss and reminded Cang Xin that sending support was a legal duty.
• Xu Lin warned that Titled Douluo and sequence officers could not leave the Blood God Legion without authorization and might face execution if they deserted.
• Cang Xin acknowledged the rules but declared that Tang Sect and Shrek Academy would not be deterred from withdrawing their people.
• Zhang Huanyun warned that losing Titled Douluo would endanger the Abyss Battlefield, but Cang Xin insisted he would proceed unless Chen An's Merit Points were withheld.
• Zhang Huanyun realized that persuading Cang Xin seemed impossible unless he compromised, which could put Chen An's life at risk.

Chen An negotiated to remain in the Blood God Legion for three days under Zhang Huanyun’s protection, despite suspecting Cang Xin planned to endanger him. Cang Xin insisted Chen An enter the Abyss Channel and kill Abyss Creatures, leaving the threat hanging over his stay.

• Xu Lang threatened that anyone who tried to withdraw would face military desertion charges, while Cang Xin insisted that Zhang Huanyun decide the matter.
• Zhang Huanyun proposed letting Chen An stay for a few days as both sides compromised, and Cang Xin agreed on the condition that Chen An serve like any other soldier.
• Chen An agreed to stay for three days as Zhang Huanyun’s personal guard, with only Zhang Huanyun authorized to issue him orders.
• Zhang Huanyun promised to support Chen An if anyone broke the agreement, making Cang Xin wary of turning him against the Tang Sect and Shrek Academy.
• Cang Xin demanded that Chen An enter the Abyss Channel and kill Abyss Creatures to justify using his Merit Points.

Chen An agreed to enter the Abyss Channel and kill Abyss Creatures, while requiring Zhang Huanyun to control when he went and to exchange his Merit Points for military rank immediately. Cang Xin left after securing Chen An’s promise, and Zhang Huanyun assured Chen An he would protect him during his three days in the Blood God Legion.

• Chen An recognized Cang Xin’s plan to use Abyss Creatures against him and agreed to enter the Abyss Channel only when Zhang Huanyun ordered him to.
• Chen An insisted his Merit Points be exchanged for military rank as soon as he joined the Blood God Legion, then mocked Cang Xin for breaking promises.
• Zhang Huanyun accepted Chen An’s condition, while Cang Xin warned that Tang Sect and Shrek Academy might withdraw their personnel if Chen An failed to kill Abyss Creatures.
• Cang Xin left, and Zhang Huanyun promised to do everything he could to keep Chen An safe during his three days in the Blood God Legion.

Chen An used Cang Xin’s Merit Points to become a Federation senior colonel and settled into the Blood God Legion headquarters with Gu Yue Na. The two decided to visit the Abyss Channel, and Xu Lin offered to escort them with two councilors.

• Zhang Huanyun registered Chen An with the Blood God Legion and transferred Cang Xin’s Merit Points to him.
• Chen An spent all his Merit Points to rise from lieutenant to senior colonel, and Xu Lang presented him with his insignia.
• Zhang Huanyun arranged quarters near his own, while Chen An and Gu Yue Na planned to stay together and use Dragon Valley Space if necessary.
• Gu Yue Na insisted on accompanying Chen An into the Abyss Channel, and Chen An warned her not to use the Sea God Trident there.
• Chen An and Gu Yue Na decided to seek permission to enter the Abyss Channel, and Xu Lin offered to accompany them with two councilors.

Chen An and Gu Yue Na entered a minor branch of the Abyss Channel with Xu Lin and two council members to observe Abyss Creatures. They captured the first creature alive for study and examined it while Zhang Huanyun remained outside.

• Zhang Huanyun led Chen An, Gu Yue Na, Xu Lin, and the two council members to a weak branch passage, while Xu Lang and the others guarded outside.
• Soldiers recognized Chen An and Gu Yue Na and spread resentment toward Chen An over his senior colonel rank and Merit Points.
• Chen An and Gu Yue Na declined a guide and entered the Abyss Channel with Xu Lin and the two council members.
• The group walked several hundred meters through the dim passage before sensing an Abyss Creature approaching.
• Gu Yue Na stopped Xu Lin from killing the creature, and Xu Lin captured it with a hand formed from Soul Power.
• Chen An and the others gathered around the restrained Abyss Creature to examine it alive.

Chen An discovered that the Scythe of Death could absorb the death energy of Abyss Creatures and potentially prevent them from resurrecting. After the group reached the Abyss Channel’s black vortex, a swarm of Abyss Creatures pursued them, and they escaped without revealing Chen An’s discovery.

• Xu Lin killed an Abyss Creature, but its energy returned to the Abyss Plane before he could contain it.
• Chen An used the Scythe of Death on several Abyss Creatures and concluded that absorbing their death energy might stop them from resurrecting.
• Gu Yue Na questioned how the Abyss Plane could sustain such a stable channel despite the pressure of the Plane Master.
• Chen An urged the group to leave the black vortex, and Xu Lin agreed.
• A swarm of Abyss Creatures emerged from the vortex and pursued the group until Xu Lin incinerated them and they escaped the channel.
• Zhang Huanyun questioned why the Abyss Creatures had attacked, while Chen An kept his discovery secret.
