Chapter Summaries

Wu Qi became a Titled Douluo, chose the title Destruction Douluo, and joined Qian Gu Changkong on the journey to obtain the God of Destruction’s divine artifact. In the God Realm, the Sea God was punished for intervening in the lower realm, while the Rakshasa God warned Bibi Dong that she should cooperate with the four rival successors.

• Hunter told Wu Qi to return to Spirit City and promised to teach him to use the Scepter, then vanished through a spatial rift.
• Qian Gu Changkong and Bawei surfaced after hiding underwater, and Wu Qi reunited with them after obtaining his Ninth Spirit Ring and becoming a Titled Douluo.
• Wu Qi chose Destruction Douluo as his title, and Qian Gu Changkong set off with him and Bawei to seek the God of Destruction’s divine artifact.
• The God of Destruction accused the Asura God of permitting the Sea God to attack his successor, and the God Realm Committee confined Poseidon and confiscated some of his assets.
• The Rakshasa God told Bibi Dong that Wu Qi and the other successors would soon receive divine artifacts and urged her to cooperate with them rather than oppose them.

Wu Qi returned to Spirit City as a Titled Douluo, but declined a coronation ceremony so he could keep his strength hidden and draw out hidden threats. He left to visit his master, while Azure Luan Douluo watched him with pride.

• After Wu Qi and Qian Gu Changkong returned to land, Chai Rong learned of Wu Qi's golden Spirit Ring and new Titled Douluo strength from Bawei.
• A month later, Wu Qi returned to Spirit City, where Qian Daoliu proposed holding a coronation ceremony for him.
• Wu Qi refused the ceremony because he wanted to conceal his strength and prevent hidden enemies from fleeing.
• Azure Luan Douluo and several enshriners supported Wu Qi's decision, and Qian Daoliu urged him to consider Spirit Hall's future carefully.
• Wu Qi told Qian Gu Changkong he would visit his master, then went to the manor where Azure Luan Douluo admired his achievements.

Wu Qi reflected on Azure Luan Douluo’s role in his life, then trained through the night with Hunter to master the Scepter of Destruction. The next morning, Wu Qi and Qian Gu Changkong entered the Papal Hall to challenge Bibi Dong for the Pope Position, where a Bishop confronted them.

• Azure Luan Douluo wondered whether he and Wu Qi would have met if the Wu Family had not been infiltrated, and Wu Qi assured him that his help had changed his life.
• Azure Luan Douluo shared wine and advice with Wu Qi, telling him that becoming Pope would not be easy and urging him to heed the Great Enshriner.

• After training through the night, Wu Qi and Qian Gu Changkong went to the Papal Hall to seize the Pope Position from Bibi Dong.
• Wu Qi and Qian Gu Changkong entered during the morning assembly, and a Bishop rebuked them for interrupting.

Wu Qi and Qian Gu Changkong confronted the bishops in the Papal Hall, then told Bibi Dong they had come to learn its operations as a step toward taking over. Bibi Dong allowed their internship, and Wu Qi moved to understand the hall’s factions while avoiding a premature purge of its bishops.

• The bishops accused Wu Qi and Qian Gu Changkong, but Nether Leopard Douluo knocked them down, and Bibi Dong dismissed the meeting after acknowledging the two Elders’ authority.
• Wu Qi told Bibi Dong that he and Qian Gu Changkong wanted to serve Spirit Hall, and Bibi Dong suggested they join the Worship Hall instead.
• Wu Qi said they had come to familiarize themselves with the Papal Hall’s operations, and Bibi Dong allowed them to intern under Hu Liena’s guidance.
• Qian Gu Changkong warned Wu Qi that Bibi Dong might be scheming, and Wu Qi said they should use the time to learn the Papal Hall while Bibi Dong pursued her divine power.
• Wu Qi sent Hu Liena to handle the bishops who came to apologize, choosing not to punish them while the Papal Hall’s loyalties remained unclear.

Wu Qi and Qian Gu Changkong uncovered Bibi Dong’s plan to provoke war by starving Wennan City, but arrived too late to stop it. Bibi Dong sent Wu Qi to the frontier with Hu Liena and the Golden Generation, while privately encouraging Hu Liena to stay near him; outside Spirit City, Yan confronted Wu Qi over Hu Liena.

• Hu Liena asked Wu Qi about his Divine Slaughter's Domain, and he told her it was gone; Qian Gu Changkong dismissed her questions and sent her away.
• Qian Gu Changkong found documents showing Bibi Dong had requisitioned Wennan City's grain, and Wu Qi realized the resulting famine could inflame public anger and trigger war between the Two Great Empires.
• Wu Qi and Qian Gu Changkong concluded they lacked the people and grain needed to intervene, and Wu Qi saw that war could later help him win public support by advocating peace.
• Bibi Dong assigned Wu Qi a frontier mission and sent the Golden Generation to monitor the operation; she privately told Hu Liena to remain with Wu Qi until the appointed time.
• The Rakshasa God teased Bibi Dong about sending Hu Liena to Wu Qi, and Bibi Dong complained that Wu Qi was integrating divine power faster than she was.
• Outside Spirit City, Yan threatened Wu Qi over Hu Liena, and Xie Yue pulled Yan back and demanded that he apologize.

Wu Qi led Hu Liena, Xie Yue, Yan, and Qian Gu Changkong to the Far North, where he reached Soul Power Level 98 and began preparing for the journey into the Great Ice Plains. After arriving in Spirit Beast Town, Wu Qi noticed the Iron Bull Hunting Team was watching them from across the street.

• Wu Qi accepted the assignment to travel to the Far North, intending to train and learn about the Papal Hall through Hu Liena.
• During the journey, Wu Qi cultivated by day and secretly practiced with Hunter and the Scepter of Destruction at night, while Yan struggled with his possessiveness toward Hu Liena.

• Xie Yue and Yan visited the Tie Niu Niu Squad's encampment to ask about supplies.

• Wu Qi left hidden spiritual markers as the five traveled quickly through the forest toward the Great Ice Plains.

Wu Qi’s group crossed the Frozen Forest and reached the ice plains while Mo Han’s pursuing squad turned back and was killed by a Soul Beast. Meanwhile, the Clear Sky Sect’s failures left Yu Xiaogang isolated, and Tang Xiao sought his advice as war between the two empires escalated.

• Wu Qi’s Bloodline Suppression kept Soul Beasts away from his group, while most pursuing squads gave up; the Tie Niu Niu Squad followed them out of the forest, then wandered into a high-level Soul Beast’s territory and became its meal.
• Wu Qi gave Hu Liena, Xie Yue, and Yan snow-traveling supplies and drew information from Xie Yue about the Papal Hall.

• Tang Xiao explained to Yu Xiaogang that the two empires had entered full-scale conflict and that hungry young people in the Heaven Dou Empire were joining the military, while Star Luo civilians opposed the war and blamed the Clear Sky Sect.

Tang Xiao sought Yu Xiaogang’s advice about the Star Luo Empire’s failing war effort, while the Clear Sky Sect’s intervention escalated the conflict. After crossing the Great Ice Plains, Wu Qi’s group reached an Ice Lake to find food, but Wu Qi sensed a hidden danger nearby.

• Tang Xiao showed Yu Xiaogang the border reports, and Yu Xiaogang warned that Star Luo’s weak morale could lead to defeat.
• Yu Xiaogang cautioned that sending Clear Sky Sect Experts to the front could stabilize Star Luo’s army but provoke Heaven Dou and Spirit Hall.

• Wu Qi sensed something wrong in the unusually quiet surroundings and warned Qian Gu Changkong of a possible hidden danger.

Wu Qi and his companions encountered a Hundred-Thousand-Year Crimson Ice Toad at Ice Lake, which warned them not to disturb the Snow Woman. Wu Qi chose to continue toward the Snow Woman, and Yan asked him to protect Hu Liena if danger arose.

• Hu Liena sensed danger near Ice Lake, so Xie Yue and Wu Qi pulled Yan out of the water.
• Wu Qi detected something beneath the lake, and a giant Crimson Ice Toad emerged through the ice.
• Wu Qi warned the group about the toad’s deadly cold poison, and the Crimson Ice Toad explained that it had spared Yan and cautioned them against disturbing the Snow Woman.
• The Crimson Ice Toad let them catch fish and then left, while Hu Liena urged Wu Qi to reconsider their journey.
• Wu Qi argued that their respectful conduct had earned them the Snow Woman’s tacit approval, and Yan knelt to ask him to protect Hu Liena if danger came.

• In an Ice Plains Canyon, Qian Gu Changkong smashed open frozen Soul Beast corpses, and the group found four Soul Bones.

• The Titan Snow Demon King appeared, and Qian Gu Changkong volunteered to test his strength against it.

Qian Gu Changkong and Wu Qi fought powerful spirit beasts on the Great Ice Plains, while Wu Qi tried to negotiate with the Ice Empress for an introduction to the Snow Woman.

Wu Qi and Qian Gu Changkong met the Snow Empress, who brought them to the Ice God's palace and explained the possibility of soul beasts becoming Divine Beasts through willing sacrifice to Deity successors.

• The Snow Empress told the Ice Empress about Deities and Divine Beasts, and the Ice Empress resolved not to act impulsively and to cherish the opportunity.

Tang San chose to delay pursuing greater strength until his trials resumed, and the group began considering how to improve the Tang Sect's prospects through Hidden Weapons.

• Tang San and the Shrek Five Monsters reached the Fifth Trial, then returned to the continent to seek the Sea God's Heart and traveled to the Clear Sky Sect.

Tang San instructed Tai Tan to shift the Tang Sect’s production and traveled with Tailong to Barak City to recruit the Dragon Serpent Family.
