Chapter Summaries

Bibi Dong and Yan waited outside Slaughter City for Hu Liena to complete Hell Road and emerge as a God of Slaughter. Two figures appeared amid the blood-red and white light, and Yan recognized that Hu Liena was one of them while wondering if Slaughter City had changed.

• Bibi Dong recalled how she had escaped her past by surviving Slaughter City and earning Divine Slaughter's Domain and Rakshasa's favor.
• Yan explained that Hu Liena could contract a seventy-thousand-year Three-Eyed Magic Fox as a soul spirit, strengthening her path toward becoming a god.
• Bibi Dong sensed movement from the hill and hurried with Yan, Guimei, and Yueguan toward the place where Hu Liena had succeeded.
• Bibi Dong recognized that two people were emerging as Gods of Slaughter, and Yan concluded that Hu Liena and another person were inside.
• White light and overwhelming killing intent gathered around the two figures until they emerged clearly before Bibi Dong, Yan, Guimei, and Yueguan.

Yan and Hu Liena reunited after leaving Slaughter City, while Tang San disguised as Tang Yin pretended not to know them. After Yan tried to recruit him, Tang San attacked when he realized Yan had seen through his disguise, but the ambush failed and he was captured.

• Yan, Bibi Dong, and the others encountered Hu Liena and Tang San, who was disguised as Tang Yin and wielded a Clear Sky Hammer bearing the power of Divine Slaughter's Domain.
• Yan and Hu Liena reunited, then played along when Tang San claimed not to recognize them and introduced himself as Hu Liena's friend.
• Yan offered Tang San guidance and a place at a nearby Spirit Hall Branch, but Tang San hesitated before agreeing to consider the offer.
• Tang San used Blue Silver Grass and a black attack to ambush Yan, who countered with flames and kicked Tang San to the ground.
• Hu Liena lashed Tang San with her whip, and Bibi Dong pulled him back down when he tried to retreat.
• Tang San admitted that he attacked because he realized Yan had recognized him, then mocked Yan after failing to kill him.

Yan killed Tang San after he refused to surrender his techniques, then recovered a powerful inner core and ordered Spirit Hall to isolate and clear out Slaughter City. A blood-red face watched Yan’s departure and worried that he was targeting several of its inheritors, while wondering how to draw him into a divine trial.

• Yan took Tang San’s storage belt and found the Ten Headed Fierce Yang Serpent’s inner core inside it.
• Hu Liena confirmed that Tang San had thrown the Snow-Colored Swan Kiss into Slaughter City’s Blood Pool, and Yan ordered Spirit Hall to cut off the city’s supplies and clear its entrances.
• Bibi Dong, Yan, and Hu Liena headed toward a town below Slaughter City to begin the cleanup and make room for Hu Liena to contract a soul spirit.
• A blood-red face appeared after they left, sensed that Tang San’s soul had been taken, and wondered how to bring Yan into a divine trial.

Yan guided Hu Liena and the Three-Eyed Magic Fox through a contract soul spirit ritual, successfully linking them and granting Hu Liena a powerful companion and a growing Soul Bone. Hu Liena awakened from the ritual and embraced Bibi Dong as Yan reflected on his research.

• Yan cleansed the tavern and explained the contract process to Hu Liena and the willing Three-Eyed Magic Fox.
• Yan used his spiritual power to guide the fox in condensing its spiritual origin, soul imprint, Soul Power, and innate bloodline energy.
• Yan cast a six-pointed-star ritual that joined Hu Liena and the Three-Eyed Magic Fox, leaving matching imprints on their foreheads.
• Hu Liena gained a contract with the seventy-thousand-year Three-Eyed Magic Fox, and their seventh soul ring resonated with the fox’s aura.
• The Three-Eyed Magic Fox sent a Spirit Condensing Enchantment Skull through the contract to Hu Liena, while Yan noted that its Soul Bone and soul rings could grow with the fox.
• Hu Liena opened her eyes and threw herself into Bibi Dong’s embrace as Yan confirmed that the ritual had succeeded.

Yan led Qian Daoliu, Bibi Dong, Qian Renxue, and Hu Liena into Slaughter City to assess the destruction caused after its food supply was cut off. They found the city’s inhabitants dead and its order collapsed, and Yan declared that it would become a city of death.

• Qian Daoliu arrived outside Slaughter City and said studying magic in another plane had given him some insight.

• Yan concluded that the outer city’s population had died and Slaughter City’s order had completely collapsed.

Yan, Bibi Dong, Qian Daoliu, Qian Renxue, and Hu Liena investigated Slaughter City after finding its inner district soaked in blood and its residents dead or deranged. They learned the Slaughter King had been draining people to rebuild a corrupted Blood Pool, and reached the Hell Slaughter Arena as the pool began to destabilize again.

• Yan and his companions entered Slaughter City's crimson inner district and cautiously searched its deserted streets.
• Bibi Dong struck down Starving Wolf Joel after he attacked the group, and Hu Liena recognized him as a cannibal with fifty arena victories.
• Yan questioned Joel, who explained that strange blood had appeared beneath the city two months earlier and driven its residents mad with bloodlust.
• A crimson tentacle pierced Joel and drained his blood before he could explain what the Slaughter King had done.
• Yan cut the tentacle, and the group followed Joel's final words to the Hell Slaughter Arena, where blood bubbled through the arena floor.
• The Slaughter King raged over the unstable Blood Pool as captive residents were drained to supply it, while survivors cursed him and blamed the Asura King and Hell Envoy.

The Slaughter King discovered that poison had contaminated Slaughter City's Blood Pool and confronted Yan, Hu Liena, Bibi Dong, and Qian Daoliu. Yan revealed that the Slaughter King was the Blood-Red Nine-Headed Bat King controlling Tang Chen, and Qian Daoliu began fighting him as the others prepared for the battle.

The Slaughter King drew on Slaughter City’s power and summoned waves of blood bats to resist Qian Daoliu and the others. He transformed into the Blood-Red Nine-Headed Bat King and attacked, leaving everyone facing a far more dangerous enemy.

• Qian Daoliu overwhelmed the poisoned Slaughter King with holy flames until the Slaughter King unleashed a blood-red divine sword that knocked him back.
• The Slaughter King drove the sword into the ground and flooded the arena with blood mist and swarms of poisonous blood bats.

• The Slaughter King gathered the blood energy into a gigantic bat with nine heads and launched his attack.

Bibi Dong broke the Blood-Red Nine-Headed Bat King's attack, and Qian Daoliu and Qian Renxue purified Slaughter City and revived Tang Chen. Tang Chen regained his identity and power, then confronted Qian Daoliu after their weapons clashed in a devastating battle.

• Bibi Dong resisted the Blood-Red Nine-Headed Bat King's dark-red ripples and broke its technique, allowing Qian Daoliu and Qian Renxue to destroy it with sacred light.
• Qian Daoliu and Qian Renxue purified Slaughter City, forcing the Slaughter King to attack Qian Renxue before Bibi Dong drove him back.

• Tang Chen recognized Qian Daoliu as the person who had awakened him, and the two faced each other with grave wariness.

Tang Chen confronted Qian Daoliu and learned of the Clear Sky Sect’s collapse and the deaths of Tang Hao and his great-grandson. After Yan revealed his role in those losses and his plan to claim the Asura inheritance, Tang Chen launched a desperate attack on Spirit Hall; the fight left him badly weakened and still facing Qian Daoliu.

• Qian Daoliu told Tang Chen that the Clear Sky Sect had disbanded eighteen years earlier, Tang Hao had died, and Tang Chen’s great-grandson had also been killed.
• Yan claimed responsibility for attacking the Clear Sky Sect, killing Tang Hao, and destroying Tang Chen’s great-grandson, then revealed that he wanted the Asura Divine Sword and its inheritance.

• Tang Chen unleashed the Asura Divine Sword, injured Qian Renxue, and charged Yan, who sent Hu Liena away and let Tang Chen strike a clone.
• Qian Daoliu intercepted Tang Chen, and the two rivals exchanged blows until both were weakened; Tang Chen then vomited blood and faltered.

Yan tried to have Hu Liena inherit the Asura God's divine position, but the Asura Divine Sword rejected her and the Asura God appeared. After explaining why Hu Liena was unqualified, the Asura God offered Yan the inheritance instead.

• Yan asked Hu Liena to draw the Asura Divine Sword, but it rejected her and blasted her away.
• Bibi Dong tried the sword and summoned the Asura God's Divine Sense, who immobilized everyone except Yan.
• The Asura God pressured Yan until Yan broke through, then explained that his actions had violated the rules of divine inheritance.
• The Asura God said Hu Liena was not qualified to inherit his position, though she could earn a chance by reaching Tang Chen's level.
• The Asura God told Yan that he valued his potential and asked whether he would inherit the divine position.

Yan declined to inherit the Asura God's divine seat immediately and negotiated a chance to pursue his own path to godhood until the Sea God passed on his seat. After the Asura God departed, Yan gave the Asura Divine Sword to Hu Liena and planned to repopulate Slaughter City with Spirit Hall's opponents.

• Yan explained that he wanted to pursue his own path to godhood and asked the Asura God for twenty years before deciding whether to accept the Asura Trial of Nine.
• The Asura God agreed to wait until the Sea God passed on his divine seat, then vanished and left the Asura Divine Sword behind.
• Yan easily pulled out the Asura Divine Sword and gave it to Hu Liena, who accepted it after Bibi Dong urged her to follow Yan's wishes.
• Yan sensed that Slaughter City had been rebuilt but lacked people to restore Hell Road, which still required many deaths.
• Yan asked Bibi Dong how many soul masters remained dissatisfied with Spirit Hall, and they decided Slaughter City could receive those enemies, including opponents from the upcoming sect conference.

• Spirit Hall installed Xue Ke as ruler of Heaven Dou and prepared to redefine the Seven Great Sects, while Star Luo gathered opposing factions, including the Clear Sky Sect.

• Dugu Yan, Ye Lingling, Bai Chenxiang, Ning Rongrong, Xiao Wu, and Huo'er welcomed Yan, while Bai Xiuxiu and Zhu Zhuqing remained away.

Yan used the Ten Headed Fierce Yang Serpent’s inner core to hasten the Fire Dragon King’s birth in the Ice Fire Yin Yang Well. The newly emerged dragon revealed her overwhelming power, then bowed her head and affectionately rubbed against Yan.

• Yan explained that the Fire Dragon egg’s activity had strengthened the Extreme Heat Yang Spring and said he intended to prepare the dragon for his ninth soul ring.
• Yan infused the Ten Headed Fierce Yang Serpent’s inner core with Soul Power and threw it into the spring.
• The spring boiled as the golden-red Fire Dragon emerged amid flames, lightning, and a dragon’s roar that frightened the soul beasts throughout Sunset Forest.
• Yan called to the newly born Fire Dragon King, who lowered her head and gently rubbed against him.

Yan underwent a transformation after the Three-Eyed Golden Lion formed a soul contract with him, replacing his first soul ring and triggering a Celestial Transformation phenomenon across the Douluo Continent. In the Star Dou Great Forest, powerful soul beasts awakened, and a black-robed man tried to reach Yan before deciding to wait and recover.

• Yan endured the lightning and seven-colored radiance as the Three-Eyed Golden Lion’s origin of destiny transformed him and strengthened his Eye of Destiny.
• The newborn Fire Dragon King absorbed the radiance and grew stronger while guarding Yan and the Three-Eyed Golden Lion.
• Yan awoke, reflected on the power of destiny, and held the exhausted Three-Eyed Golden Lion after she shrank into a cat-sized form.
• The little Fire Dragon King told Yan her true name was Jia Lin, and he named her before she transformed into a hatchling.
• Yan carried Jia Lin and the Three-Eyed Golden Lion back to the girls, who eagerly petted both creatures.

Yan returned to the Far North riding Jia Lin, where his soul-contract companion Qiu'er revealed she could read his unguarded thoughts. Jia Lin's encounter with the Ice Bear King Xiao Bai escalated into a domain battle in the sky.

• Yan flew north on Jia Lin while petting Huo'er and Qiu'er, and Qiu'er attacked him after reading his inappropriate thoughts.
• Qiu'er explained that their soul contract let her peek into Yan's thoughts when he did not guard his mind, and Yan learned how to block the mental link.

• Xiao Bai attacked Yan, and Jia Lin evaded him before clashing with him in a battle of domains above the Far North.

Yan and Jia Lin fought the Ice Bear King, Xiao Bai, in the Far North until the Snow Empress arrived and stopped them. Yan reunited with the Snow Empress and explained that he had come to discuss contracting Far North Soul Beasts as soul spirits.

• Jia Lin overpowered Xiao Bai in their clash, but Yan first stopped her from attacking further.

• Yan introduced the newly hatched Jia Lin to the Snow Empress, who recognized her powerful and ancient dragon bloodline.
• Yan told the Snow Empress that Bai Xiuxiu was undergoing the Sea God’s trials and that he had come to discuss soul-spirit contracts with the Far North Soul Beasts.

Yan persuaded the Snow Empress to support the soul spirit system, and she agreed to help bring the Far North’s soul beasts on board and make contact with powerful beings in the Star Dou Great Forest. After assigning Xiao Bai and A'Tai to guard the Northern Icefield, the Snow Empress and Ice Empress departed south with Yan.

• After examining Jia Lin, the Snow Empress was convinced that the soul spirit system offered soul beasts a way to grow beyond their limits and agreed to cooperate with Yan.
• Yan asked the Snow Empress to help approach powerful soul beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest and prepare the Far North’s beasts to accept soul spirit contracts; she agreed.
• The Snow Empress told Xiao Bai and A'Tai to guard the Northern Icefield while she and the Ice Empress traveled south, and reassured Xiao Bai that she still regarded him as family.
• Yan, the Snow Empress, the Ice Empress, Huo'er, and Qiu'er boarded Jia Lin and flew southwest from the Northern Icefield.
