Chapter Summaries

Xu Lin authorized Mingdu’s defenses as the Central Legion joined the effort to intercept the Tang Sect’s shells. The Super Defense System’s shield shattered, but the Federation Base’s layered defenses contained the two shells that got through, leaving civilians unharmed.

• Xu Lin remotely authorized the Sun Moon Royal Academy to deploy its Soul Guidance weapons, while Yu Guanzhi put the Central Legion on combat readiness and activated its interception system.
• Mingdu’s city defenses, the Sun Moon Royal Academy, and the Central Legion intercepted twenty of the twenty-five Tang Sect shells, but five broke through.
• Three Super High-Explosive Shells struck the weakened Super Defense System, shattered its shield, and let two delayed shells pass toward the Federation Base.
• The Federation Base activated its Level One defenses, whose energy net wrapped around the two shells and reduced their explosive force by half.
• The remaining blast rippled against the Federation Base’s shield and strained the flexible defensive shields over nearby buildings, but they held and prevented civilian casualties.

Mingdu’s defenses stopped the Tang Sect’s second shelling, but the attack breached the city’s super defense barrier and left its defenses weakened. After clearing a Tang Sect underground shelter, Chen An learned from Xu Lang that Mingdu faced a serious threat if another attack came before repairs were complete.

• Xu Lang and the command center ordered heightened security after Mingdu’s super defense barrier was breached and the city’s defenses were weakened.
• The Tang Sect abandoned plans to use weaker weapons after its thirty-five Grade 9 shells failed to cause significant damage and further attacks risked exposing its underground base.
• Bear Monarch defeated the rank ninety-seven Super Douluo in the Underground Shelter, leaving him alive for Chen An to question with the Soul-Seizing Bell.
• Di Tian brought Chen An and the others to the surface, where Chen An ordered Xu Lang’s people to clean up the battlefield.
• Chen An called Xu Lang, who explained that the shelling had caused no casualties but had left Mingdu vulnerable until its outer defenses could be repaired.

After the Tang Sect fired thirty-five powerful shells at Mingdu, Chen An and Xu Lang debated how to respond while continuing their assault on Tang Sect shelters. Chen An ordered the Federation to strike Tang Sect launch bases, aiming to destroy their shells and prevent further attacks.

• Xu Lang concluded that only the Tang Sect or Shrek Academy could have fired the thirty-five Grade 9 shells, and he was shaken by their power.
• Chen An recognized the shells as a counterattack from the Tang Sect's Mingdu launch base and considered whether to change targets.
• Xu Lang suggested suspending the operation to destroy the Tang Sect outpost that had attacked Mingdu, but Chen An refused to halt the assaults on the shelters.
• Chen An asked Xu Lang to use the Federation's long-range firepower against six Tang Sect launch bases and specified that each strike needed at least five Grade 9 shells.
• Chen An explained that destroying the launch bases and detonating their stored shells would cripple the Tang Sect's ability to launch attacks across the Federation.

Chen An informed Xu Lang of six Tang Sect launch sites and ordered strikes to destroy them while surrounding the other Underground Bases to force their occupants to evacuate. After Chen An and his companions left for their next target, Federation guards entered the ruined Mingdu shelter to recover its valuables.

• Chen An gave Xu Lang the locations of six launch sites and rejected his plan to seize their shells, insisting they be destroyed before the Tang Sect could use them.
• Chen An told Xu Lang to surround every Tang Sect Underground Base except the one in Heaven Dou City, making the Tang Sect believe its bases had been exposed and encouraging evacuation.
• Chen An explained that he planned to keep targeting Tang Sect Underground Shelters rather than assault the fortified bases directly, and Xu Lang agreed to make the arrangements.
• Chen An and his companions entered a Space Channel opened by Di Tian and headed for the next shelter, bringing their unconscious captive with them.
• After Chen An left, the guards entered the Mingdu shelter to retrieve its valuables and found wreckage, corpses, and blood mist throughout the ruins.

Xu Lang secured authorization for a Federation bombardment of Tang Sect missile launch bases despite Chief of General Staff Shen's attempts to stop it. The military prepared to fire thirty-six Grade 9 shells at the bases, while Yu Guanzhi was assigned to seize the southern base near Mingdu.

• The Mountain Dragon King and the others slaughtered Tang Sect personnel at an underground shelter, while Xu Family members supervised the collection of transferred wealth and resources.
• Xu Lang sought approval from Federation leaders to bombard several Tang Sect missile launch bases with more than thirty Grade 9 shells, and Chief of General Staff Shen opposed the plan.
• Xu Lang threatened to summon Chen An if Shen used force, and Xu Lin warned Shen that the Federation would no longer protect their superficial relationship if he defied its procedures.
• Shen left in anger, and Xu Lang authorized six shells per target launch base, for thirty-six shells in total.
• Xu Lang had already told Yu Guanzhi to seize the launch base south of Mingdu, so it would not be bombarded.

The Federation destroyed all six Tang Sect launch bases, triggering the detonation of more than a hundred Grade 9 Fixed-Installation Soul Guidance Cannon Shells, while one Tang Sect shell struck a city government building. Yun Ming was left reeling and demanded to know how the Federation had discovered the bases’ secret coordinates.

• With Xu Lang's authorization, the Federation fired shells at all six Tang Sect launch bases and destroyed them, setting off the shells stored there.
• One Tang Sect shell escaped before the bombardment and struck a city government building, killing many citizens.
• Tang Sect Headquarters watched the destruction on satellite footage, and its higher-ups realized the loss had gravely weakened the sect.
• Yun Ming nearly lost control from anger and demanded that the Tang Sect Headquarters officials explain how the Federation had learned the launch bases’ locations.
• Ya Li steadied Yun Ming as the officials fell silent, unable to answer his question.

After the Tang Sect's launch base was bombed and its Underground Shelters came under attack, Yun Ming ordered the shelters evacuated but insisted the seven major Underground Bases must be defended. The Tang Sect prepared to hold those bases against the Federation as its remaining foundation.

• After learning the launch base had been destroyed and another Underground Shelter was under attack, Yun Ming struggled to control his panic and anger.
• Ya Li warned Yun Ming and the other Tang Sect leaders that the Federation had likely discovered the locations of their shelters and bases.
• Yun Ming ordered the people in the Underground Shelters to evacuate quickly, taking supplies and destroying anything they had to leave behind.
• Tang Sect personnel in the shelters hurried to gather weapons, rare metals, and other valuables before withdrawing.
• When Headquarters officials asked whether the Underground Bases should also be evacuated, Ya Li favored leaving to protect lives.
• Yun Ming insisted the seven major Underground Bases must be held to the death, and the others agreed to defend them.

Chen An and his allies destroyed Tang Sect Underground Shelters, pausing in the Dragon Valley Space to recover before resuming their assault. They left with dozens of Energy Pearls refined from their victims, while the Tang Sect struggled to evacuate its remaining shelters.

• Chen An and his allies wiped out ten Tang Sect Underground Shelters, slowing as their Soul Power ran low.
• Chen An took Gu Yue Na, Di Tian, the others, and ten captured shelter leaders into the Dragon Valley Space to recover and prepare for interrogation.
• They replenished their Soul Power under the Suiyue Liuli Lamp, while the three Undead Puppets restored themselves by devouring dragon souls.
• Di Tian brought them to another Underground Shelter, where they attacked Tang Sect personnel delayed by their attempt to evacuate valuable property.
• Chen An used the Devouring Sky Cauldron to refine the victims' Life Essence and Martial Soul Source, accumulating dozens of Energy Pearls comparable to a Titled Douluo's lifelong cultivation.

The Tang Sect evacuated its Underground Shelters and scattered toward Shrek City, but Chen An and his allies pursued the fleeing survivors with help from Federation tracking and Di Tian’s spatial movement. By dawn, the pursuit continued as the Tang Sect and Shrek Academy struggled to find a way to stop the losses.

• The Tang Sect abandoned its Underground Shelters, planted timed bombs, and split its personnel between hiding in the city and fleeing toward Shrek City.
• Chen An and Xu Lang’s forces pursued the escaping Tang Sect personnel while Federation satellites tracked their routes.
• Di Tian repeatedly transported Chen An’s group to fleeing Tang Sect vehicles, allowing them to kill survivors and destroy more than forty Underground Shelters.
• After learning that bombs had been planted in the shelters, Chen An had Di Tian move them to remote locations before they exploded.
• By dawn, the Tang Sect personnel were still fleeing under pursuit, while their attempts to attack their pursuers failed to stop them.

The Tang Sect worried as Chen An's group pursued its fleeing members toward Shrek City, while deciding they could not risk sending fighters to intervene. Federation news reported that Mingdu's defenses had stopped the bombardment without direct casualties, but a separate Grade 9 shell had devastated a city and killed nearly half its population.

• The Tang Sect concluded that Yun Ming and its other fighters could not safely leave Shrek City to rescue the fleeing members, so they prepared to retaliate with bombings and hoped the fugitives would reach the city.
• Federation broadcasts reported that Mingdu's Super Defense System had intercepted the Tang Sect's thirty-five Grade 9 Fixed Soul Guidance Cannon Shells without direct casualties.
• Rescue workers searched the crater left by the one shell fired before the Tang Sect launch base was bombarded, while the devastated city mourned its dead and treated its injured.

After Tang Sect attacks devastated cities, Chen An and his allies destroyed its underground shelters and hunted fleeing members, earning public praise while the Federation announced its support for the retaliation. They continued pursuing targets across the continent, avoiding Shrek City’s powerful weapons as they tried to kill as many Tang Sect members as possible.

• The public condemned the Tang Sect for its indiscriminate attacks on civilians and grew increasingly disappointed in Shrek Academy and the Tang Sect.
• By nine in the morning, Chen An and his allies had destroyed nearly fifty Tang Sect Underground Shelters and killed nearly thirty thousand Tang Sect members.
• Chen An’s group pursued fleeing Tang Sect members across the continent, destroying their vehicles and using the Devouring Sky Cauldron to refine their Life Essence and energy.
• Chen An avoided waiting near Shrek City because he knew its powerful Soul Tools could threaten even the strongest fighters.
• The Federation apologized for failing to protect civilians and announced that it would cooperate with Chen An in killing Tang Sect members.

Guan Yue told Yun Ming that he was preparing to secretly transfer the War God Hall’s weapons to Shrek Academy and the Tang Sect. He had arranged for an expert to crack the vault system, but opening Eternal Heaven’s vault would take about half a month.

• Xu Lang’s people seized valuables from the Tang Sect’s Underground Shelter while Chen An and others pursued fleeing Tang Sect personnel.
• Xu Lang and Chen An refused to share the shelter’s spoils with other factions, directing them instead toward other Tang Sect resources they could seize themselves.
• Qiangu Dongfeng abandoned his attempt to claim the shelter’s valuables rather than risk a conflict with Chen An and the Xu Family.
• Guan Yue met with five Shrek Academy and Tang Sect members and connected by video with Yun Ming to report his preparations.
• Guan Yue explained that he had brought the Tang Sect’s program-cracking expert into the War God Hall to open Eternal Heaven’s vault unnoticed, a process expected to take another half month.

Yun Ming persuaded Guan Yue to steal the God-Slaying Weapons and destroy the War God Hall, while Chen An continued his slaughter of Tang Sect members. The chapter ended with the Federation celebrating as the death toll surpassed forty thousand and Shrek Academy and the Tang Sect faced collapsing morale.

• Yun Ming told Guan Yue to steal the two God-Slaying Weapons in the Federation Base and prepare to destroy the War God Hall.
• Guan Yue hesitated to destroy the place that had nurtured him, but agreed after Yun Ming reminded him of the Federation's attacks on Shrek Academy and the Tang Sect.
• Yun Ming concluded that detonating the weapons inside the Federation Base was too difficult, so stealing them was the more practical plan.
• Chen An planned to learn the weapons' locations by obtaining the memories of Chief of General Staff Shen and the Federation Speaker, but focused instead on hunting Tang Sect members.
• Chen An and his allies killed nearly ten thousand people in a day, bringing the Tang Sect death toll above forty thousand and leaving Shrek Academy and the Tang Sect in despair.

Chen An and his allies killed nearly sixty thousand Tang Sect Soul Masters before abandoning the increasingly scattered pursuit. After resting, they returned to Mingdu, preparing to target the Tang Sect personnel sheltered in the three major legions.

• Tang Sect personnel scattered across the continent, with many fleeing to Shrek City or seeking protection inside the Northern Sea Legion, Eastern Sea Legion, and Southern Legion.
• Chen An delayed attacking the three legions, but prepared the highest-level search warrants so he could use Federation law against officers who obstructed him.
• By noon on the second day of the hunt, Chen An and his allies had killed nearly sixty thousand Tang Sect personnel, more than half of those held in the Tang Sect's 268 shelters.
• When the Tang Sect personnel scattered into separate routes, Chen An abandoned the pursuit and decided to target the nearly five thousand hiding in the three major legions.
• Chen An and his allies restored their Soul Power and slept in the Dragon Valley Space, then returned to Mingdu.

Chen An received the Federation’s authorization to confront the three major legions and force them to surrender Tang Sect personnel who had fled there. He arrived at the Northern Sea Legion base, leaving his interest in the nearby Life and Destruction Energy for later.

• The Federation Speaker praised Chen An for the defeat of more than sixty thousand Tang Sect soul masters and approved a publicity campaign about the victory.
• The Federation Speaker gave Chen An a search warrant and broad special authorization, warning him not to push the three major legions into rebellion.
• Xu Lang signaled his support, and Xu Lin gave Chen An a portable recorder to document his confrontations with the legions’ senior officers.
• Chen An used Di Tian’s spatial movement to reach the Northern Sea Legion base on the northeastern coast.
• Chen An sensed the Life and Destruction Energy in the nearby sea but decided to postpone investigating it until he had dealt with the three major legions and other pending matters.

Chen An and nine powerful companions arrived at the Northern Sea Legion base to capture the Tang Sect personnel who had fled there. The legion went to first-level combat readiness, and its officers approached under mecha escort as Chen An demanded their cooperation.

• Chen An summoned three Undead Puppets and flew with his group toward the Northern Sea Legion base, making their arrival conspicuous.
• The Northern Sea Legion’s detection equipment identified multiple Limit Douluo-level intruders, and its officers ordered first-level combat readiness.
• Chen An and his companions prepared their weapons and powers as the legion’s ships and Soul Tools aimed at them.
• Chen An announced that he had come to capture the Tang Sect personnel and asked the Northern Sea Legion to cooperate.
• Northern Sea Legion soldiers recognized Chen An and recalled reports of his recent slaughter of sixty thousand Tang Sect members, while mechas escorted several officers toward him.

Chen An confronted Shen Hongtao at the Northern Sea Legion and insisted on searching for Tang Sect personnel despite the Legion Commander’s denial. He produced Federation authorization for the search, leaving the officers facing the threat of severe punishment if they obstructed him.

• Chen An recognized Shen Hongtao as the Northern Sea Legion’s Two-Star General and learned that Shen Yue was being groomed to succeed him.
• Shen Hongtao told Chen An that the Northern Sea Legion held no Tang Sect personnel and ordered him to leave.
• The Northern Sea Legion’s officers feared Chen An and his group after reports said they had killed more than sixty thousand Tang Sect personnel.
• Chen An refused to accept Shen Hongtao’s denial, citing intelligence that over a thousand Tang Sect personnel were hiding at the base.
• Chen An presented a Federation search warrant and special authorization, warning that anyone who obstructed the search would be treated as a Tang Sect collaborator and executed.

Chen An confronted Shen Hongtao at the Northern Sea Legion and insisted on searching for Tang Sect personnel despite the legion commander's refusal. He threatened to kill anyone who obstructed him and left Shen Hongtao facing the possibility that Chen An would attack.

• A Sun Moon Royal Academy officer urged Shen Hongtao to follow Chen An's warrants, but Shen Hongtao dismissed his advice and refused to allow a search of the military base.
• Shen Hongtao told Chen An that the Northern Sea Legion held no Tang Sect personnel and barred him from searching confidential areas.
• Chen An declared that he would conduct the search regardless and threatened to execute anyone who resisted, citing the six Limit Douluos and three Top Super Douluos with him.
• The Northern Sea Legion soldiers grew tense and hesitated to act, while Shen Hongtao warned Chen An that an attack would make him an enemy of the Federation.
• Chen An accused Shen Hongtao of aiding Shrek Academy and the Tang Sect, declared him guilty of collusion, and threatened to execute him.

Chen An threatened Shen Hongtao and warned the Northern Sea Legion soldiers that defying his Federation-authorized search could endanger their families, causing many to hesitate. An officer then asked Chen An to prove his authorization, offering the soldiers a lawful basis to cooperate with him.

• Chen An explained that he had chosen to confront Shen Hongtao before the Federation's campaign against Shrek City and intended to capture him rather than kill him.
• Chen An told the Northern Sea Legion soldiers that his search was legal and warned that opposing him could bring treason charges and severe consequences for their families.
• The soldiers began to waver as they considered the impact their deaths and alleged treason could have on their families.
• Shen Family officers urged the soldiers to obey their superiors and dismissed Chen An's warnings.
• An officer asked Chen An whether his warrant and special authorization were genuine, arguing that the soldiers should obey Federation law and cooperate if Chen An represented the Federation.

Chen An verified that the Federation’s warrants were genuine, then moved to arrest Shen Hongtao and the Shen Family officers. The Northern Sea Legion split into resistance and loyalist factions, while the base’s full array of weapons trapped Chen An’s group under a relentless barrage.

• Chen An confirmed the warrants with Xu Lang and the Federation Speaker, prompting former Sun Moon Royal Academy students to support his operation.
• Chen An ordered Bear Monarch and the others to attack Shen Hongtao, whose orders to open fire divided the legion’s soldiers.
• Shen Family officers shot soldiers who refused to fight, and nearly half the legion resisted them, encouraged by the academy graduates.
• Shen Hongtao’s forces activated the base’s Soul Tools, mechas, and warship cannons, trapping Chen An and his companions beneath attacks from every direction.
