Chapter Summaries

Xiao Tianyang used the Longevity Lamp ritual to restore Ah Yin and Xiao Wu's mother, sacrificing decades of his lifespan in the process. The two mothers woke and discovered his weakened condition, while Xiao Tianyang asked them to keep it from Tang San and the others and take them away until they woke in three days.

• Xiao Tianyang ignited the Longevity Lamps and sent Shi Lan's Soul Fragments into Ah Yin and Xiao Wu's mother so their souls could fuse with their new bodies.
• Xiao Tianyang spent nearly forty years of his lifespan completing the ritual, then coughed blood and became severely weakened.
• Bibi Dong and the others' souls returned with stronger auras, and Ah Yin and Xiao Wu's mother woke in good condition.
• Ah Yin and Xiao Wu's mother sensed Xiao Tianyang's lost life force and helped him as he struggled to breathe.
• Xiao Tianyang told the mothers that Tang San and the others would wake in three days and asked them to keep his condition secret.
• Ah Yin agreed to keep the secret and take the others away while Xiao Tianyang focused on recovering.

Xiao Tianyang used the Spring of Life and medicinal herbs to begin recovering in secret while Divine Might prepared for a tense gathering of powerful figures. Bo Saixi left Sea God Island and arrived in Shenwu City, where she joined Xiao Tianyang at the rear mountain.

• After Ah Yin and Xiao Wu's mother left, Xiao Tianyang opened the Crystal Altar and submerged himself in the hidden Spring of Life to heal.
• Xiao Tianyang added medicinal herbs to the Spring of Life, which absorbed them and began turning them into more of the healing water.
• Saber and Madam Mingzhu met Ah Yin and Xiao Wu's mother, then handled Divine Might's arrangements while Yuwen Chengdu remained unlikely to follow the plan.
• Invited leaders and Spirit Hall enshrined elders arrived in Divine Might as the city suspended trade, closed venues, and increased its patrols.
• Bo Saixi resigned as Great Enshrined of Sea God Island, passed the position to Sea Dragon Douluo, and came to Shenwu City.
• Bo Saixi joined Xiao Tianyang at the rear mountain pavilion, where he regarded her as his only family on Douluo Continent.

Xiao Tianyang’s unstable aura worried Bo Saixi, Saber, and Madam Mingzhu, but his emergence from seclusion caused a disturbance that drew their enemies toward Shenwu Hall. As the women prepared to use force, a sound behind them revealed that Xiao Tianyang had apparently set a trap.

• Madam Mingzhu urged Bo Saixi to check on Xiao Tianyang, but Bo Saixi said Big White blocked the way and she could not risk causing a commotion.
• Saber warned that the gathered descendants of powerful figures posed a threat, while Madam Mingzhu argued that Divine Might should kill their ringleaders.
• Xiao Tianyang released a vast aura of life and spiritual force that broke the formation around him.
• Saber noticed unfamiliar auras approaching Shenwu Hall, and Bo Saixi ordered her to follow Madam Mingzhu’s plan to punish the intruders.
• A dull thud sounded behind the women, and Saber and Madam Mingzhu realized Xiao Tianyang had prepared a nasty trick.

Bo Saixi learned that Xiao Tianyang had deliberately stirred up trouble to draw out hidden threats, a strategy he called fishing enforcement. As powerful enemies confronted Big White, one was killed by a surprise strike from the Congyun Blade.

• Madam Mingzhu explained to Bo Saixi that Xiao Tianyang had set a trap to expose and eliminate unstable elements, and Saber said they would wait for his next move.
• Big White faced a group of powerful invaders who sought the life-extending power stirred up by Xiao Tianyang’s disturbance.
• An elderly man with a Blood Blade urged the group to attack Big White, revealing that the intruders had no intention of retreating.
• As the Blood Blade wielder charged, an unseen attacker struck him from behind with the Congyun Blade and killed him.

Xiao Tianyang killed the Blood Blade old man and summoned Yuwen Chengdu and ten hidden armored warriors to crush the rebels. As onlookers realized he had staged the unrest to expose enemies and intimidate the city, they grew wary of the ruthless power he had revealed.

• Xiao Tianyang used a hexagram to kill the Blood Blade old man and trapped his soul in a blood-red Treasure Orb.

• Madam Mingzhu explained that Xiao Tianyang wanted the gathered people to fear him and understand that defying his orders meant death.

Xiao Tianyang used a ruthless massacre to make the gathered experts fear him and clarify his position before the coming invasion. He gave everyone the choice to leave or stay, and as many departed, Madam Mingzhu asked whether he should send someone after them.

• Xiao Tianyang ordered Yuwen Chengdu and the heavily armored warriors to slaughter the people who had acted against him, using the killings to establish his authority.
• Xiao Tianyang dismissed the armored warriors and told the spectators that the matter was over, then warned them about the coming war and offered them the choice to go or stay.
• More than half the gathered experts left within ten minutes, while many older experts chose to remain.
• Madam Mingzhu whispered to Xiao Tianyang that the situation seemed better than expected and asked whether they should send someone after those who had left.

Xiao Tianyang addressed the guests who remained at Divine Might, then told the gathered figures from Douluo Continent that war with the God Realm was unavoidable and offered them two ways to prepare for it. He left them to choose while privately confronting the worsening danger to the continent and his own responsibility for it.

• After fewer than a hundred guests stayed, Xiao Tianyang asked Madam Mingzhu to arrange a meeting while Saber restored order at Divine Might.
• Madam Mingzhu guided the guests to a meeting room, while Xiao Tianyang went to meet Tang San, Dai Mubai, Bo Saixi, Tang Chen, and the others.
• Xiao Tianyang declared that he and the God Realm were at war and offered the group divine-position trials or another route to the God Realm if they reached Level 99.
• Xiao Tianyang left without demanding an immediate answer, giving them until his return to decide.
• Xiao Tianyang privately concluded that the invasion from another plane was tied to him and feared that abandoning Douluo Continent would make him its sinner.

Xiao Tianyang assessed the threat posed by the God Realm’s former invaders and learned that Tang San and the others had chosen to stay and support him. He gathered seasoned powerhouses for a second meeting, where he offered rewards for their battlefield performance as war approached.

• Xiao Tianyang left the decision to stay or leave to the people around him, and Qian Renxue, Hu Liena, and Xie Yue chose to stay.
• Huo Wu, Shui Bing’er, Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, Oscar, and Bai Chenxiang also declared that they would remain, and Tang San urged everyone to follow Xiao Tianyang’s lead.

• Xiao Tianyang went to the main conference room to meet veteran powerhouses, including Bibi Dong and Sword Douluo.
• Xiao Tianyang introduced himself, laid out his rules and promised battlefield rewards, briefly displaying rare treasures, Immortal Herbs, and medicinal pills before putting them away.

Xiao Tianyang explained the point system, distributed Points Bracelets that tracked their wearers and kills, and promised to pass deceased warriors’ points to their descendants as Cultivation Material. He then began showing a battle documentary to prepare everyone for the coming enemies and battlefield dangers.

• Xiao Tianyang explained that warriors could earn points through kills, with rewards based on enemy strength and clear tiers.
• Xiao Tianyang distributed Points Bracelets, and a burly man panicked when his bracelet briefly drew blood.

• Xiao Tianyang dimmed the lights and began showing a battle recording to introduce the enemies and help the gathered Soul Masters prepare for the battlefield.

Xiao Tianyang showed the assembled leaders footage of the Barbarian Tribe’s overwhelming strength and offered them access to Divine Might martial arts to prepare for war. After the other factions left, he vented to his supporters about their self-interest and discussed why he had taken charge of the gathering.

• Xiao Tianyang asked Sword Douluo and Tang Chen to assess the footage, and they acknowledged that victory against the Barbarian Tribe seemed nearly impossible.
• Xiao Tianyang announced a training ground behind the Frontline and opened Divine Might Martial Arts information to the assembled leaders for the duration of the war.
• Xiao Tianyang warned that anyone who used or spread Divine Might martial arts outside the war would face severe punishment.
• The leaders asked mainly about their rewards, then left after getting answers, while Xiao Tianyang’s supporters remained in the conference room.
• Xiao Tianyang criticized the departing leaders for focusing on petty benefits, and Bibi Dong teased him about his polished act and defended his grip on the leadership position.

Xiao Tianyang proposed raising his allies to the ultimate realm and sending them on a trial to cultivate demigods before the war. He prepared to reveal that the God Realm was his enemy, leaving the choice of whether to stand with him to the elders.

• Xiao Tianyang warned that their enemies had more than six demigods and said they needed to create an opportunity to counter them.
• Xiao Tianyang proposed using his resources to push the elders to the ultimate realm, despite the risk of limiting their later progress, and they unanimously supported him.
• Xiao Tianyang explained that he would send them to undergo a trial after they reached the ultimate level, where failure would cause injuries but no devastating cost.
• Ning Fengzhi asked whether they had time to prepare before the war in less than two months, and Xiao Tianyang said there would be enough time, though the outcome was uncertain.
• Xiao Tianyang decided to tell the elders that he was enemies with the God Realm rather than hide the danger from those fighting for him.

Xiao Tianyang explained how he could redirect a divine advancement path and agreed to alter Bibi Dong’s, though it would shorten her time on Douluo Continent. He took her to his armory to choose a weapon, leaving Qian Renxue with Hu Liena and Xie Yue as she studied Immortal Herbs to improve their Martial Souls.

• Bibi Dong asked Xiao Tianyang how he would reverse Tang San’s Sea God trials, then requested that he alter her divine path as well.
• Xiao Tianyang warned that the change would shorten Bibi Dong’s time on Douluo Continent, and she accepted the cost.

• Xiao Tianyang and Bibi Dong found Qian Renxue studying Immortal Herbs with Hu Liena and Xie Yue, hoping to help their Martial Souls improve.
• Xiao Tianyang left Qian Renxue with Hu Liena and Xie Yue and led Bibi Dong to his personal armory.

Xiao Tianyang showed Bibi Dong his armory, where she chose the Xi Chu Overlord Spear and gained its recognition. The chapter left Bibi Dong looking for armor among his treasures.

• Xiao Tianyang led Bibi Dong into his armory and invited her to choose any weapon she liked.
• Bibi Dong picked the Xi Chu Overlord Spear, and Xiao Tianyang explained that it had belonged to Xiang Yu from the history of his world.
• Bibi Dong questioned Xiao Tianyang about his claim, but he offered to show her historical records and she dropped the subject.
• Bibi Dong grasped the spear, which shrank and changed color as it accepted her; Xiao Tianyang let her keep it.
• Bibi Dong asked for treasured armor, and Xiao Tianyang directed her to the armor and treasures while she asked whether he would come along.

Xiao Tianyang endured Bibi Dong’s shopping trip as she chose the Xi Chu Overlord Spear and several defensive treasures from his armory. He told Qian Renxue that Bibi Dong had also taken items he had prepared for the women around him.

• Xiao Tianyang accompanied Bibi Dong while she chose equipment, though the brief shopping trip left him exhausted.
• Qian Renxue met Xiao Tianyang at the back mountain entrance and asked what Bibi Dong had taken.
• Xiao Tianyang revealed that Bibi Dong chose the Xi Chu Overlord Spear, which could change its size and appearance to suit her.
• Xiao Tianyang told Qian Renxue that Bibi Dong had also taken the Five-Colored Phoenix Wing Robe, the Coiled Dragon Phoenix Soaring Belt, and the Purple Gold Jasper Pendant.
• Qian Renxue recognized the items as part of the same series as the Chasing Clouds and Lightning Boots.

Xiao Tianyang explained his plans for training Divine Might’s people and keeping the [Black Warrior] from being misused, while Xie Yue and Hu Liena awoke after their power upgrades. Qian Renxue noticed Hu Liena’s feelings for Xiao Tianyang and quietly decided that another woman in his life would not matter.

• Xiao Tianyang told Qian Renxue he would open up resources to Divine Might’s people and train them in hand-to-hand combat.
• Xiao Tianyang explained that the [Black Warrior] were bound by fixed commands to protect his interests and Divine Might, and would not be sent to the battlefield.

• Xiao Tianyang teased Hu Liena’s changed appearance, and Qian Renxue scolded him while he tried to explain himself.
• Qian Renxue noticed Hu Liena’s disappointment and decided she would accept her as another woman in Xiao Tianyang’s life, leaving Hu Liena feeling watched.

Qian Renxue accepted that Xiao Tianyang loved other women and decided to build her own circle by bringing Hu Liena closer. The next morning, Xiao Tianyang headed to the Frontline and planned to strengthen his allies rather than give valuable resources to untrustworthy fighters.

• Qian Renxue decided to recruit Hu Liena as an ally after recognizing that she could not join either of the groups around Xiao Tianyang.
• Qian Renxue took Hu Liena to choose a weapon, while Xiao Tianyang took Xie Yue to the training grounds and asked Qian Renxue to pick out armor for him.
• Xiao Tianyang set off for the Frontline the next morning to arrange the battlefield and oversee training.

Xiao Tianyang inspected the Divine Might Legion’s defenses on the Fragrant Grass Plains and explained how he would use a deceptive formation to turn the plains into a deadly obstacle for the Barbarian Tribe. He left the troops with instructions to guard the formation while it was being established.

• Xiao Tianyang arrived at the Great Wall and praised Yuwen Chengdu and the Divine Might Legion for their battlefield preparations.
• Yuwen Chengdu reported that the campaign had stockpiled enough energy but that one King of Fragrant Grass had escaped.
• Xiao Tianyang told the soldiers that he would establish a formation in front of the Bloody Wall and gave Yuwen Chengdu a map of the points to guard during its energy vacuum.
• Xiao Tianyang explained that the formation would absorb energy from dead barbarians and feed it into the ground, helping the fragrant grass consume corpses and spread faster.
• Xiao Tianyang revealed that the formation would draw on the Energy Crystals beneath the grass to sustain itself and trap the advancing Barbarian Tribe in a growing monster-filled region.

Xiao Tianyang activated his improved Giant Formation, using divine-beast souls and the souls of Titled Douluo to complete it. During its formation, he learned that the Demonic Cult was migrating south and planned to deal with them after finishing at the Fragrant Grass Plains.

• Xiao Tianyang ordered the Divine Might Legion to cut down two-thirds of the Fragrant Grass and kill two Kings of Fragrant Grass.
• Xiao Tianyang tore apart an Imperial Decree, raising hills and forming a pagoda-shaped Giant Formation across the plain.

• Madam Mingzhu told Xiao Tianyang that the Demonic Cult was migrating south, including Soul Grand Masters and Soul Ancestors, and that persistent fog had appeared northwest of their port.
• Xiao Tianyang ordered Fei Hu to suspend contact and told Madam Mingzhu to attack the Demonic Cult's ships, saying he would handle Port City and use the Titled Douluo as blood-sacrifice materials.

Xiao Tianyang confronted two Hundred-level experts who had attacked the Giant Formation and rejected their offer of access to their plane and a powerful divine position. He enveloped them in his [World Domain] and prepared to make them pay, leaving the confrontation poised to erupt.

• Madam Mingzhu spoke with Xiao Tianyang as an explosion sounded near the Giant Formation, and he told her to wait while he dealt with the disturbance.

• Xiao Tianyang rejected the offer, trapped both experts in his [World Domain], and summoned the [Emperor Flame] as he threatened them.

Xiao Tianyang fought the white-robed and yellow-robed Hundred-level experts outside the Giant Formation and overwhelmed them with his strength. The yellow-robed expert escaped underground, leaving the white-robed expert to face Xiao Tianyang’s flying Congyun Blade.

• Xiao Tianyang shattered the white-robed expert’s Ice Wall and Ice Dragon, then broke through the yellow-robed expert’s Earth Scroll attack.
