Chapter Summaries

Xiao Tianyang’s reinforcements arrived and turned the battle against the black Soul Beast and the Evil Soul Masters. After sending the Grand Commander to assist Yue Shen, he confronted Big White about his blood-soaked aura and learned he had led the fight against the Evil Demons.

• Xiao Long'e and Xiao Longshang arrived, and Xiao Tianyang ordered them to kill or capture the black Soul Beast while preserving its soul if it died.
• The Grand Commander recovered, learned that Long Yu and five of the Seven Great Heavenly Kings had arrived, and left to help Yue Shen.
• Xiao Tianyang noticed Yan Lingji and Tian Yan could fight more freely now that the black Soul Beast was occupied.
• Xiao Tianyang summoned Big White and Dragon Peng, then scolded Big White for his overwhelming bloody aura.
• Dragon Peng explained that Big White had recently left seclusion and had led the effort against the Evil Demons.

Big White reflected on how his violent actions had strengthened Xiao Tianyang’s standing and realized he would face both reward and punishment. As Big White and Dragon Peng headed toward the battle, Xiao Meng stopped Evil Emperor’s mental assault with her opening stance, though she could not sustain the technique.

• Dragon Peng warned Big White that Xiao Tianyang had not forgotten his past actions and that his victims had not all been villains.
• Big White understood that Xiao Tianyang would recognize his merits but also punish his faults, and Dragon Peng advised him to rein in his bloody aura and seek a chance to make amends.
• Big White set off toward the battle, and Dragon Peng followed him.
• Outside the Illusory Moon Formation, Evil Emperor pressed Xiao Meng with a surge of Mental Power.
• Xiao Meng used “Heaven and Earth Lose Their Color” to collapse Evil Emperor’s assault, but the strain limited her to the technique’s opening stance.

Xiao Tianyang appeared in time to save Xiao Meng from the Evil Emperor and discovered that its mental tentacles contained Soul Fragments. He decided to capture the Evil Emperor for its value, and the Evil Emperor launched another attack.

• The Evil Emperor overwhelmed Xiao Meng, but Xiao Tianyang intervened and severed its mental tentacle with a Mental Power guillotine.
• Xiao Tianyang used [Ancient Divine Eyes] to identify the tentacle as a Soul Fragment and seized it.
• The Evil Emperor recognized Xiao Tianyang but underestimated his strength, believing its earlier attack had not used its full power.
• Xiao Tianyang judged that the Evil Emperor might escape if he delayed, so he planned to capture it and deal with it afterward.
• The Evil Emperor became angry at Xiao Tianyang's silence and began another assault with countless mental tentacles.

Xiao Tianyang demonstrated how Heaven and Earth Rules could empower physical weapons with Mental Power, then trapped the Evil Emperor inside an incomplete Immortal Slaying Sword Formation. The Evil Emperor’s escape attempt failed, leaving him sealed within the formation as his monsters’ attacks proved ineffective.

• Xiao Tianyang used a seemingly simple Mental Shock to summon weapons and imbue them with Mental Power, piercing the Evil Emperor’s spiritual tentacles.
• Xiao Meng recognized that Heaven and Earth Rules could support others as well as attack, while the Evil Emperor summoned eyeball monsters to defend himself.
• Xiao Tianyang activated the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation with four divine swords and sealed the Evil Emperor inside it.
• The Evil Emperor tried to escape by tearing open space, but the formation blocked him, and the eyeball monsters’ Purple Rays failed to damage it.

Xiao Tianyang used the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation to capture the Evil Emperor, while Tian Yan ambushed Ye Xishui and Zongheng Douluo confronted Long Xiaoyao. Long Xiaoyao fought to hold Zongheng back as Ye Xishui remained injured and Tian Yan stayed determined to finish her off.

• Xiao Tianyang sealed the Evil Emperor inside the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation and sent the formation away.
• Tian Yan attacked Ye Xishui, shattered her scythe, and stabbed her shoulder before aiming for her heart.
• Long Xiaoyao's dragon roar interrupted Tian Yan's attack, and he faced Zongheng Douluo's Suppress and Break techniques.
• Long Xiaoyao countered Zongheng Douluo with Dark Roar and sent the remaining force toward him.
• Long Xiaoyao worried that Ye Xishui's injury left her vulnerable because Tian Yan would not abandon her mission.

Yue Shen and the Grand Commander assessed the battle and discussed Yue Shen’s visions of possible futures, which had helped them prepare for unexpected threats. Yue Shen ordered Han Ling to withdraw so the Spirit Beast Legion could take over, and Xiao Longyu urged that she be pulled out immediately.

• Yue Shen and the Grand Commander speculated that Xiao Tianyang had made a reversible transaction with the Plane Spirit to remove part of the space.

• Yue Shen ordered Han Ling to withdraw from the battlefield and let the Spirit Beast Legion take over.
• Xiao Longyu advised that Han Ling should be withdrawn immediately.

Xiao Longyu coordinated with Yue Shen and the Grand Commander to prepare the Spirit Beast Legion for battle. He sent Dragon Armor and the First and Third Combat Squads to pin down the enemies on the battlefield, with Dragon Armor charging toward Yan Lingji's opponent.

• Xiao Longyu ordered Dragon Armor to lead the First and Third Combat Squads into battle and tie down the enemies in their assigned area.
• Dragon Armor formed the Eight Treasures Tortoise Shell Formation and charged toward Yan Lingji's opponent.

Xiao Tianyang used an Ancient Buddha Martial Soul to overwhelm the Evil Emperor inside the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation. He halted just as the Evil Emperor’s defenses were about to fail, leaving the trapped enemy facing his excited, greedy gaze.

• Xiao Tianyang mocked the Evil Emperor for joining the Sea of Ten Thousand Evils and evaded its mental attacks.
• Xiao Tianyang summoned the Ancient Buddha Martial Soul and struck the Evil Emperor with Buddha's Palm.
• The Evil Emperor unleashed Mental Fury Vortex, but Xiao Tianyang destroyed it and followed with Heaven-Overturning Palm and Sea-Splitting Seal.
• The Evil Emperor sacrificed its Soul Fragments, mental tentacles, and nearby eyeball Soul Beasts to reinforce its defenses.
• Sea-Splitting Seal pierced the Evil Emperor’s barrier, and Xiao Tianyang’s combined attack began grinding down its remaining defenses.
• Xiao Tianyang suddenly stopped and retreated, while the trapped Evil Emperor saw greed and excitement in his eyes.

Xiao Tianyang extracted the Evil Emperor’s External Soul Bone and absorbed its eyeball into his Ancient Divine Eyes, gaining two new Soul Bone Skills. He stored the remaining rewards and prepared to return to the battle outside.

• Xiao Tianyang reflected on the difficult three-hour process of extracting the Evil Emperor’s External Soul Bone.
• Xiao Tianyang decided to keep the eyeball for himself, leave the Skull Bone for someone else, and postpone absorbing the Million Year Spirit Ring.
• Xiao Tianyang absorbed the Evil Energy Demonic Eye into his Ancient Divine Eyes, gaining Evil Energy Ray and Evil Energy Chaos.
• Xiao Tianyang checked his status, lamented that Emperor Flame remained sealed, and resolved to consider cultivating after things settled down.
• Xiao Tianyang stored the Million Year Spirit Ring and Skull Bone, returned the swords and other weapons to Divine Might’s armory, and prepared to head back.

Xiao Tianyang returned to find the Holy Spirit Cult defeated, while Brash’s damaged machine could keep the Demon Forest’s electrical grid running for only three more hours. He and Yue Shen planned to use the Evil Spirit Nobles’ likely response to set a second battlefield.

• Dragon Armor killed the Holy Spirit Cult’s Grand Elder and Second Elder, prompting the remaining elders to flee as the cult’s forces were routed.
• Xiao Tianyang learned that Brash’s damaged machine could sustain the electrical grid for at most three hours.
• Yue Shen told Xiao Tianyang that the enemy commander had contacted the Evil Spirit Nobles, who could either send reinforcements or withdraw and rebuild their defenses.
• Yue Shen predicted that the Evil Spirit Nobles would choose to send reinforcements because they were drawn by the prospect of conquering the Extreme North.
• Xiao Tianyang approved Yue Shen’s plan for a second battlefield and urged the group to choose future battlefields more carefully.

Xiao Tianyang fortified his camp in the Demon Forest while the enemy commander waited for reinforcements and planned an invasion of Douluo Continent. After Yue Shen accurately deduced the commander's message, Xiao Tianyang decided to share his mission with her.

• Xiao Tianyang led his forces from the battlefield, built perimeter walls, and established camp in the Demon Forest.
• Xiao Tianyang and Yue Shen assessed the enemy's passages and the Energy Pillars, concluding that the Demon Forest would become the First Battlefield and that destroying the pillars risked an enormous explosion.
• The Demonic Creature Commander organized his forces and requested reinforcements while planning to strike Xiao Tianyang before he could build a stronger defense.
• Xiao Tianyang watched the commander through a Bronze Mirror and intercepted his message to the Evil Spirit Nobles.
• Yue Shen correctly guessed the message's contents, and Xiao Tianyang decided to share his mission with her.

Xiao Tianyang chose to stay rather than return to Shenwu City, while the Grand Commander and Yue Shen worried about the powerful figures awaiting them in Divine Might. They especially feared Liu Ruyi, whose influence, abilities, and charm could draw Xiao Tianyang to her, but they believed it was not yet the right time for her to enter his life.

• The Grand Commander asked Xiao Tianyang whether he would stay or return to Shenwu City, and he chose to remain for what came next.
• The Grand Commander and Yue Shen worried that Esdeath might suddenly act after withdrawing the subordinates she had sent to find Xiao Tianyang.
• The Grand Commander explained that Liu Ruyi had built the Treasure Gathering Pavilion into a force controlling the Douluo Continent's economy and introduced Shenwu Coin.
• The Grand Commander recalled that Fei Yan had called Liu Ruyi dangerous and feared her strength, intelligence, and ability to charm Xiao Tianyang.
• The Grand Commander and Yue Shen accepted that Liu Ruyi might eventually win Xiao Tianyang over, but they hoped she would wait until Baihua Tower's honeymoon period with him had passed.

Xiao Tianyang enjoyed a feast and entertainment while Yue Shen and the Grand Commander avoided revealing what had worried them. Outside the city, an Evil Spirit commander learned that the Evil Energy Legion would arrive in seven hours, and he prepared to follow the mission rather than risk defying his superiors.

• Yue Shen told Xiao Tianyang that something unexpected had happened, and the Grand Commander asked him about Ye Xishui and Zhongli Wu.
• Xiao Tianyang showed little interest in the gossip and spent his time enjoying Yan Lingji's dance, Zi Nu's flute music, food, and wine.
• The Evil Spirit commander resented Xiao Tianyang's comfort but held back from attacking because the planar barrier and Big White's defenders guarded the city.
• A Nine-Eyed Fiend arrived as an inspector and told the commander that the Evil Energy Legion would arrive in about seven hours.
• The commander accepted the inspection and resolved to complete his assigned mission without acting against orders.

Xiao Tianyang absorbed five Million Year Spirit Rings and unleashed a powerful blast that struck Demon Forest. Xiao Longyu and Big White discussed why the Snow Empress and Ice Empress had not joined the Spirit Beast Legion, while the Evil Demons reeled from Xiao Tianyang’s attack.

• Xiao Tianyang absorbed the malicious intent from five Million Year Spirit Rings and channeled their Soul Power into his Tai Chi Vortices.
• Xiao Tianyang’s Ancient Divine Eyes appeared above the camp and fired a pale-blue beam into Demon Forest, devastating the Evil Demons’ gathering place.
• The Grand Commander sensed Xiao Tianyang’s power and remarked that they were fortunate it was not directed at them.
• Big White asked Xiao Longyu whether he regretted not bringing the Snow Empress and Ice Empress, and Xiao Longyu explained that they had their own plans and little connection to the Spirit Beast Legion.
• Xiao Longyu recalled that he had chosen not to bring the Snow Empress and Ice Empress because they were only friends of Xiao Tianyang and he had considered the situation carefully.

Xiao Longyu remembered how Snow Empress and Ice Empress punished the Spirit Beast Legion after Xiao Tianyang’s misfortune, then secured the Legion’s support for their relationship with Xiao Tianyang. Back in the present, Xiao Tianyang assessed the five Million Year Spirit Rings he had absorbed and found most of their Mental Power skills unsuited to him.

• Snow Empress and Ice Empress blamed the Spirit Beast Legion for failing to warn them and fought hundreds of battles against its members, unintentionally driving the Legion to grow stronger.
• After the sisters were driven back, Xiao Longyu stopped the fight, sent Dragon Peng to speak with them, and later announced his agreement to support them being with Xiao Tianyang.
• Three years later, Snow Empress and Ice Empress received Shenwu Spirit invitations, passed through Water Capital, and used the [Ascension Platform] to ascend to the God Realm.
• Xiao Longyu returned his attention to Demon Forest, while Yue Shen and the Grand Commander noticed his earlier reaction and the phantom Vertical Pupils vanished into Xiao Tianyang’s cultivation chamber.
• Xiao Tianyang considered the power and Soul Skills gained from five Million Year Spirit Rings and judged their Mental Power abilities ineffective for his fighting style.

Xiao Tianyang considered using the Evil Emperor’s sixfold attack-boosting Soul Skill and discussed how to provoke the cautious enemy commander into acting. He outlined a plan to strike at the Evil Spirit People’s vulnerabilities, and Yue Shen and Grand Commander helped refine it.

• Xiao Tianyang decided the Evil Emperor’s Evil Energy Eruption might let him badly wound multiple powerful enemies with a large-scale attack.
• Yue Shen, Grand Commander, and Yan Lingji reported that the enemy commander remained cautious, backed by the Evil Spirit Nobles, and that no New Creatures had passed through the Space Passage.

• Xiao Tianyang described the Evil Spirit People’s three levels of emotional control, portraying the Evil Spirit Nobles as patient and deadly.
• Xiao Tianyang explained his plan, and Yue Shen and Grand Commander helped refine it.

Xiao Tianyang launched a surprise attack on the Evil Energy Legion as it assembled inside the Space Passage. The Metal Sphere was destroyed, but its hidden power began stirring destructive urges in the Nine-Eyed Fiend, leaving the legion at risk of turning on itself.

• Brash's Space Detector revealed that the Evil Demons had built a node inside the Space Passage, and Xiao Tianyang inferred they planned to charge through a widened exit.
• Xiao Tianyang chose to press their gains with an aggressive plan, and Yue Shen and the Grand Commander agreed to help carry it out.
• The Nine-Eyed Fiend spotted a purple flash and recognized Xiao Tianyang's void power as a Metal Sphere flew toward the assembled Evil Energy Legion.
• An Evil Energy Legion member struck and crushed the Metal Sphere before it could explode.
• The Nine-Eyed Fiend felt a surge of destructive desire and feared that the same power might drive the emotionless legion members to attack one another.

At the Space Passage and Demon Forest connection, Ghost Cut and Evil Hound responded to Xiao Tianyang’s unexpected move by choosing to begin the decisive battle early. Ghost Cut prepared to unleash the Evil Energy Legion and reserved the option of awakening a powerful trump card if the battle turned against them.

• Ghost Cut presented two options: accept an early decisive battle or first bring the Evil Energy Legion under control.
• Evil Hound warned that Xiao Tianyang had united powerful forces across the Douluo Continent and argued against delaying the battle.
• Ghost Cut proposed waking “that one” as a last resort, and Evil Hound tacitly approved despite the risk.
• Ghost Cut issued orders for the Evil Energy Legion to attack the front while his other forces struck the flanks.
• Ghost Cut planned to overwhelm Xiao Tianyang’s forces and destroy the Energy Pillar core, abandoning complicated tactics for a direct assault.

As the Evil Energy Legion charged onto the battlefield, Xiao Tianyang asked Yue Shen for permission to fight, and she agreed under three rules. He prepared to face the enemy while wondering how the battle might connect to his system mission.

• Xiao Tianyang joked about the enemy’s movements while observing the battlefield with Grand Commander and Yue Shen.
• Xiao Tianyang asked Yue Shen whether he could fight the enemy, and she agreed after setting three rules: retreat if danger arose, fight outside the formation’s inner ring, and kill the enemy commander if possible.
• Xiao Tianyang accepted the rules, while Yue Shen reminded him that breaking their agreement would affect how the sisters saw him.
• The Evil Energy Legion entered the battlefield and charged directly at Xiao Tianyang’s side.
• Xiao Tianyang focused on the approaching enemy and realized his earlier actions had not fulfilled the requirements for the [Douluo Continent Counterattack War] mission.

Xiao Tianyang decided to draw out hidden information by threatening the enemy, then charged into the Evil Energy Legion with Big White. As the legion fell into chaos and their forces dwindled, Ghost Cut and Evil Hound moved to confront Xiao Tianyang while Black Skirt attacked Big White.

• Xiao Tianyang reasoned that the truth behind the Evil Demons might be revealed if he forced their side to expose its trump cards.
