Chapter Summaries

Chen An sparred with Scarlet King, testing several abilities and transformations that pushed the fight in his favor. The battle continued with Ice Xuanwu repeatedly overpowering Scarlet King in close-range collisions.

• Chen An fought Scarlet King in human form with the Death God Dragon's power and Scythe of Death, gradually improving his technique while Scarlet King held his own.
• Chen An transformed into the Death God Dragon, and Scarlet King answered by taking his Three-Headed Scarlet Demon Mastiff form.
• The Death God Dragon trapped Scarlet King in Death Mist until Scarlet King unleashed an innate skill that dispersed the mist and forced Chen An back.
• Chen An switched into the Golden Armor War God Ape and struck Scarlet King with the Profound Gold Battle Hammer, sending him crashing across the ground.
• Chen An transformed into the Ice Xuanwu and suppressed Scarlet King's ranged attacks with Ice Storms before charging into repeated collisions that sent Scarlet King flying.

Chen An fought Scarlet King to a standstill, with his superior attacks and defense giving him the advantage. Gu Yue Na assessed him as being near the peak of Rank 98, while Zi Ji wondered how powerful he would become at Rank 81.

• Chen An and Scarlet King fought intensely for more than ten minutes, and Scarlet King realized he was at a disadvantage.
• Gu Yue Na stopped the spar, and Bi Ji treated Chen An while Scarlet King endured lingering cold energy and wished for healing.
• Gu Yue Na judged Chen An to be at the peak of Rank 98 and said he might have a chance against a weaker Limit Douluo.
• Chen An agreed that he remained weaker than a Limit Douluo, especially one with Four-Word Battle Armor.
• Gu Yue Na predicted Chen An could reach quasi-god strength at Rank 71, and Zi Ji wondered whether he might become a god by Rank 81.

Chen An and Gu Yue Na considered whether he could become a god despite the barriers that had stopped even Di Tian. Chen An chose to focus on his current cultivation while preparing to find his own way past those limits.

• Zi Ji asked whether Chen An could reach godhood, prompting Gu Yue Na and Chen An to consider how talent, luck, and opportunity affected a soul beast’s breakthrough.
• They discussed how Di Tian had remained a Peak Quasi-God for hundreds of thousands of years despite his immense strength and talent.
• Chen An concluded that he would need to confront the breakthrough barrier himself rather than depend on luck or the Creation Holy Tree.
• Chen An said he was only Level Sixty-One and would take things one step at a time, while Gu Yue Na encouraged him and trusted he could succeed.
• Gu Yue Na reflected that her Silver Dragon King Bloodline was recognized by the universe, whereas Chen An could not bypass the Douluo Plane’s rules to gain Godly Power.

Chen An nurtured his fourth Undead Puppet, the Ice Dragon King, to the peak of demigod level before stopping to keep the Death God Dragon's origin from losing control. He summoned the Ice Dragon King and Fire Dragon King together and planned to test whether their opposing ice and fire powers could fuse.

• Chen An absorbed dragon souls in the Burial Grounds to strengthen the Ice Dragon King Undead Puppet while monitoring the Death God Dragon's origin.
• Chen An stopped when the Ice Dragon King reached the peak of demigod level and disturbed the origin, deciding further growth was too risky.
• Chen An summoned the Ice Dragon King, whose arrival stirred the dragon souls in Dragon Valley to bow in reverence.
• Chen An released the Fire Dragon King, who greeted him and reacted to the Ice Dragon King with both joy and instinctive rejection.
• Chen An decided to have the two Dragon Kings experiment with combining their ice and fire powers in hopes of creating a fusion technique.

Chen An tried to help the Ice Dragon King and Fire Dragon King develop a Martial Soul Fusion Skill, using his Death God Dragon origin to bridge their hostility. Their ice and fire energies began to resonate, forming a dangerous mixed mass as the attempt continued.

• The Ice Dragon King descended, transformed into human form, and greeted Chen An while exchanging hostile looks with the Fire Dragon King.
• Gu Yue Na judged that an ice-and-fire Martial Soul Fusion Skill might be possible and warned that failure could cause a devastating explosion.
• Chen An ordered the Dragon Kings to press their palms together and attempt a fusion while Gu Yue Na guided their energy control.
• Chen An linked their soul origins with his Death God Dragon origin, easing their hostility and making their ice and fire energies resonate.
• The Dragon Kings formed an expanding, unstable mass of energy that held intense heat and cold simultaneously, and Chen An urged them to proceed carefully.

Chen An helped the Ice Dragon King and Fire Dragon King achieve a one-hundred-percent soul compatibility, creating an Ice-Fire Fusion Skill powerful enough to threaten Deities. After they safely dispersed it, Chen An and Gu Yue Na decided they should test it in actual combat rather than risk destroying the unstable Dragon Valley Space.

• Chen An connected the Ice Dragon King and Fire Dragon King's souls until their compatibility reached one hundred percent and their Ice-Fire Energy Sphere threatened the Dragon Valley Space.
• Chen An asked the Mountain Dragon King and the Time Dragon to assess the sphere, and both said it would almost certainly kill them; Chen An judged it could threaten Deities.
• Gu Yue Na warned the Ice Dragon King and Fire Dragon King not to release the attack, and Chen An helped them retract and dissipate its energy.
• The exhausted dragons told the group that their Fusion Skill had touched the god-level threshold, and Chen An said practice could reduce its Soul Power cost.
• Gu Yue Na and Chen An agreed the dragons should test the Fusion Skill in actual combat instead of practicing in the unstable Dragon Valley Space.

Chen An prepared to attack the Tang Sect’s underground headquarters in Heaven Dou City after discussing the risks of creating a Bloodline-fusion technique with Gu Yue Na. The chapter left him and Di Tian ready to begin the assault, with Chen An warning the attackers to follow his orders inside the heavily armed base.

• Chen An wondered whether he could fuse his ice and fire energies or combine his Bloodlines into a technique like the Tang Sect’s Avalokiteśvara Tear, and Gu Yue Na explained the risks of using heart’s blood essence.
• Chen An decided not to experiment with Bloodline fusion yet and rested in the Dragon Valley Space for nearly ten hours.
• After emerging, Chen An contacted Di Tian and confirmed the operation against the Tang Sect Underground Headquarters in Heaven Dou City.
• Chen An showed Di Tian a diagram identifying ten of the one hundred buried Grade 9 Fixed Soul Guidance Cannon Shells whose explosions would trigger the rest.
• Chen An warned Di Tian that the base’s powerful internal Soul Tools could endanger even an Ultimate Douluo and ordered the attackers to follow his arrangements.

Chen An prepared a dawn assault on the Tang Sect Underground Headquarters and planned for the Mountain Dragon King to protect Heaven Dou City from the blast of a hundred enhanced Grade 9 Fixed-Installation Soul Guidance Cannon Shells. As they waited for the attack, Chen An chose not to involve his teacher or senior uncle, intending to keep the operation and its spoils under his group’s control.

• Chen An marked key control rooms on a map of the Tang Sect Underground Headquarters and assigned tasks for a dawn assault.
• Chen An told Di Tian and the others to rest while he discussed the risks of detonating a hundred enhanced Grade 9 Fixed-Installation Soul Guidance Cannon Shells with the Mountain Dragon King.
• Chen An asked the Mountain Dragon King to stabilize the ground beneath Heaven Dou City and shield its residents from the explosion’s effects.
• Chen An waited for dawn without asking his teacher or senior uncle for help, so he could avoid extra casualties and keep the Tang Sect’s valuable items for his group.

Tang Sect’s underground headquarters came under attack when one hundred enhanced Grade 9 Fixed-Installation Soul Guidance Cannon Shells detonated beneath it in a chain reaction. The blasts destroyed the outer defenses and threatened to break into the base as the city above shook.

• Tang Sect’s monitoring instruments sounded an alarm during the morning shift change, and the underground base began shaking.
• Ten Grade 9 Fixed-Installation Soul Guidance Cannon Shells exploded beneath the base and set off the surrounding shells in a chain reaction.
• The explosions shattered the outer Energy Shield and rapidly blasted through the hundred-meter-thick metal barrier.
• Tang Sect’s personnel struggled to keep control of the base and activated emergency and defense systems as cameras failed.
• The defense system identified the attack as Super Ultimate Level and aimed weapons at the ground in anticipation of intruders.
• Heaven Dou City began trembling as the blasts continued beneath Tang Sect’s headquarters.

Chen An and his allies used one hundred Grade 9 Fixed Soul Guidance Cannon Shells to breach Tang Sect's underground headquarters, while the blast shook Heaven Dou City above. After breaking through the weakened defenses, Di Tian and the others entered and headed for the control rooms to disable the headquarters' weapons.

• The Mountain Dragon King stabilized Heaven Dou City's foundation after the explosion, but the blast and tremors sent residents fleeing in panic.
• Chen An and his allies waited for the explosive energy to fade before launching their assault, while Tang Sect's underground headquarters tilted as the shells devastated the ground beneath it.
• The headquarters' bottom barrier was reduced to a thin remnant, but it still resisted the full blast of the one hundred shells.
• Di Tian, Bear Monarch, the Fire Dragon King, the Ice Dragon King, and the others breached the barrier and entered the underground headquarters.
• The Time Dragon used the Suiyue Liuli Lamp to slow more than twenty incoming Grade 9 Soul Tool attacks, allowing the group to destroy them.
• Following Chen An's instructions, the invaders rushed toward assigned control rooms as Tang Sect personnel raised the alarm and entered combat status.

Di Tian and the other powerful attackers stormed the Tang Sect Underground Headquarters while its personnel fought back with Soul Tools, mechas, and soul masters. They focused on taking four control rooms, while eleven Titled Douluos targeted Chen An in hopes of forcing the attackers to retreat.

• Tang Sect personnel launched coordinated attacks, but Di Tian, Bear Monarch, Fire Dragon King, and Ice Dragon King pressed toward the control rooms while destroying the strongest incoming weapons.
• Di Tian shattered one layer of a control-room shield with a powerful strike, while Bear Monarch, Fire Dragon King, and Ice Dragon King each broke through one layer and endured heavy counterattacks.
• Chen An, Time Dragon, Ten Thousand Demon King, Scarlet King, Zi Ji, and Demon Spirit drew enemy fire and tied down Tang Sect personnel as more mechas and soul masters joined the battle.
• Eleven Titled Douluos from the Tang Sect's Douluo Hall charged at Chen An, intending to capture him and use him to make the attackers retreat.

Chen An fought eleven Tang Sect Titled Douluo alone, switching forms to counter their attacks while Ten Thousand Demon King, Time Dragon, Scarlet King, and the others kept outside forces from interfering. After making his opponents think his slow Golden Armor War God Ape could not reach them, he seized an opening and hurled the Profound Gold Battle Hammer.

• Chen An transformed into the Death God Dragon and attacked the eleven Titled Douluo with Death Mist, vengeful spirits, and the Scythe of Death.
• The Titled Douluo adapted and pressured Chen An, prompting him to transform into the Golden Armor War God Ape and wield the Profound Gold Battle Hammer.
• Chen An struck a rank-ninety-six Super Douluo with his hammer and sent him crashing to the ground severely injured.
• The Tang Sect fighters kept their distance and used ranged attacks, while Ten Thousand Demon King, Scarlet King, and the others intercepted Soul Tool fire.
• Chen An let the Titled Douluo believe his cumbersome form could not hit them, then hurled the Profound Gold Battle Hammer when they relaxed.

Chen An fought eleven Tang Sect Titled Douluo, killing two with his Profound Gold Battle Hammer before transforming into Xuanwu and freezing several more. He remained in control of the battle as the six surviving opponents vowed to fight him to the death.

• Chen An killed a level ninety-six Defense Type Super Douluo with a hammer strike that shattered his shield and armor.
• A Super Douluo with a hammer Martial Soul attacked Chen An with his ninth Soul Skill, but Chen An broke his arm and then killed him with the Profound Gold Battle Hammer.
• Chen An transformed into Xuanwu and repeatedly attacked a level ninety-seven Super Douluo with Ice Storms, eventually freezing him solid.
• Chen An froze two more Titled Douluo while the others failed to reach their companion or protect themselves.
• Six of the eleven Titled Douluo remained, and they chose to fight Chen An to the death as he continued attacking and enduring their blows.

Chen An and his allies seized the Tang Sect headquarters’ control rooms and shut down most of its Soul Tools, leaving the defenders reliant on their own strength. With the invaders now fighting the remaining soul masters, the battle shifted decisively in Chen An’s favor.

• Chen An froze the remaining six Titled Douluo, leaving nine of the eleven besiegers as ice sculptures after two had died.
• Di Tian, Bear Monarch, Fire Dragon King, and Ice Dragon King broke into their assigned control rooms and killed the personnel inside.
• Following Chen An’s instructions, Di Tian and the others found and pressed the main control buttons, disabling the Soul Tools controlled by all four rooms.
• Ten Thousand Demon King, Scarlet King, and the others redirected their attacks from the Soul Tools to the Tang Sect soul masters.
• Di Tian, Bear Monarch, Ice Dragon King, and Fire Dragon King held the control rooms against Tang Sect personnel trying to reclaim them, killing several with each move.

Chen An and his allies wiped out the Tang Sect Underground Headquarters after a grueling battle. He entered the sect’s most important vault and discovered a concealed storage chest in its wall.

• Chen An transformed into Zhu Long and used Time Power to age and kill Tang Sect defenders as the battle raged.
• Chen An and his allies spent nearly an hour and a half eliminating everyone in the underground headquarters, suffering exhaustion and serious injuries.
• Chen An brought Di Tian, Bear Monarch, and the others into the Dragon Valley Space so Bi Ji could treat them, while the Icefire Dragon Kings recovered by devouring Death Qi.
• Chen An used tokens taken from Cang Xin and Cao Dezhi to pass through the three gates leading to the core vault.
• Chen An searched the seemingly empty vault and pressed a hidden spot in the wall, revealing a concealed storage chest.

Chen An searched the Tang Sect Headquarters’ hidden storage cabinets and found rows of Soul Bones and rare metals, including valuable Starfall Iron. He left the Soul Bones behind and recognized the Starfall Iron as a useful material for his and Gu Yue Na’s future battle armor.

• Chen An opened the first cabinet and found a damaged hundred-thousand-year Soul Bone, which he considered of little use.
• He opened more than a dozen cabinets in a row and found a Soul Bone in each one.
• Chen An found rare metal in the fifteenth cabinet and recognized its value for forging Four-Word Battle Armor.
• He discovered more cabinets filled with rare metals, including Starfall Iron that the Tang Sect had acquired from a meteor.
• Chen An recalled that Starfall Iron could improve a Soul Master’s connection to cosmic energy and help with cultivation and recovery.

Chen An explored the Tang Sect’s treasure vault, examining rare metals and hundred-thousand-year treasures while considering whether his Soul Core might help him comprehend spatial laws. He discovered a lightning vine that appeared to have grown from a Thunder Hell Vine seed preserved by the Tang Sect, leaving its identity and potential significance to be investigated.

• Chen An reflected on his naturally formed Soul Core and hoped that Starfall Iron would strengthen his connection to space.
• Chen An examined the Tang Sect’s accumulated treasures and recognized a hundred-thousand-year Narcissus Jade Muscle Bone.
• Chen An opened a cabinet and blocked a surge of lightning from a vine growing inside it.
• Chen An searched Cang Xin’s memories and learned the seed had come from a Thunder Hell Vine removed from the Icefire Yin Yang Well several thousand years earlier.

Chen An discovered a nearly dying Thunder Hell Vine in the Tang Sect’s treasury and found numerous rare treasures that could support his cultivation plans. He wondered whether the Cosmos Creation Pill formula was still stored there, leaving him eager to combine the treasury’s ingredients into a powerful pill.

• Chen An found that a Thunder Hell Vine had sprouted inside a storage cabinet and concluded it would die without lightning, soil, or water.
• Chen An realized the genuine plant soul beast could eventually help Bear Monarch and Ten Thousand Demon King endure their heavenly tribulations, though it was still too weak to do so.
• Chen An left the Thunder Hell Vine alone and continued opening the treasury’s storage cabinets in search of other treasures.
• Chen An noted that the Tang Sect held sixteen hundred-thousand-year Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, enough to greatly strengthen soul masters’ cultivation talent.
• Chen An recalled Huo Yuhao’s Cosmos Creation Pill and Taotie Douluo’s breakthrough to the Limit, then wondered whether the pill formula remained in the treasury.

Chen An found the Tang Sect’s Cosmos Creation Pill formula and learned that it focused on extracting and fusing the core energy of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures. He also discovered eight existing pills and decided to test his Devouring Sky Cauldron before making his own.

• Chen An searched the Tang Sect’s storage and found divine artifacts, secret manuals, and more than a dozen pill formulas.
• Chen An read the Cosmos Creation Pill formula and learned that its method required extracting and merging ingredients’ core energy rather than matching their medicinal properties.
• Chen An concluded that his Devouring Sky Cauldron could refine the ingredients and planned to experiment with the formula before using more of his treasures.
• Chen An found eight Cosmos Creation Pills, examined one, and estimated that it could raise his Soul Power by more than four levels.
• Chen An resisted swallowing the pill and chose to refine his own Cosmos Creation Pills with the Devouring Sky Cauldron.

Chen An secured the Seven Day Fragrance toxin and other treasures from the Tang Sect Headquarters, then called Xu Lin and Xu Lang before entering Dragon Valley Space to recuperate. The Mountain Dragon King continued repairing Heaven Dou City's foundations as city officials learned that the tremors had come from the battle and explosion beneath the city.

• Chen An considered combining Seven Day Fragrance with the Blood Swan Kiss to create a poison powerful enough to threaten Deities, then safely stored the sealed toxin.
• Chen An collected the other treasures and decided to postpone exploring the remaining vaults while he recovered for the next six Tang Sect Underground Bases.
• Chen An called his teacher and told Xu Lin, Xu Lang, and the others that the Tang Sect Underground Headquarters had been captured; they promised to take control of the site and secure its treasures.
• Chen An and the other Undead Puppets entered Dragon Valley Space to recuperate, while the Mountain Dragon King reinforced Heaven Dou City's damaged foundations.
• Heaven Dou City's residents returned to their routines after the tremors stopped, but government officials learned from the Federation that a massive explosion and battle had occurred beneath the city.
