Chapter Summaries

Xiao Tianyang demanded one-fifth of the little boy’s Plane Power and one-tenth of the Heaven and Earth Rules in exchange for continuing to help him. The little boy agreed on the condition that Xiao Tianyang keep his promise to give him the Void Stones, which could expand Douluo Continent.

• Xiao Tianyang told the little boy the price for helping him achieve his goals was one-fifth of his Plane Power and one-tenth of the Heaven and Earth Rules.
• Xiao Tianyang explained that Satan and the others needed to prepare Eternal Night for unexpected threats, but did not want to plunder Douluo Continent when they had Chaugnar Fagern’s lair to target.
• The little boy agreed to Xiao Tianyang’s conditions after he promised to hand over the Void Stones, except for those needed for research.
• The little boy explained that Void Stones from Void Creatures could expand Douluo Continent and increase the Plane Spirit’s strength.

Xiao Tianyang began refining the Void Stone in Rear Mountain Base, drawing out its Void Energy to improve his Left Leg Bone. Guoguo and Tuantuan watched and questioned whether the enhancement would be worthwhile.

• Xiao Tianyang cleared the display cases in Rear Mountain Base and released the Void Stone, whose energy began affecting the base's spatial structure.
• Guoguo and Tuantuan worried about the disturbance, and Xiao Tianyang reassured them before explaining that the energy had to be released to be fully eliminated.
• Xiao Tianyang teased and fussed over the two children, then told them not to interrupt as he began refining the Void Stone.
• Xiao Tianyang used his Left Leg Bone to draw the Void Energy into a sphere, and Guoguo and Tuantuan realized he was using it to improve his Soul Bone.
• Guoguo asked whether the technique would work, and Tuantuan said it would have an effect but not a significant one.

Xiao Tianyang opened a passage to the Eternal Night Plane and introduced Allen as the liaison between it and the Douluo Continent. He considered using Eternal Night’s influence to curb Evil Soul Masters’ rapid cultivation, leaving the liaison’s work poised to begin.

• Xiao Tianyang absorbed the last of the Void Energy and used Space Power to open a passage to the Eternal Night Plane.
• Tuantuan and Guoguo mistook the sheep-hoofed figure emerging from the passage for a monster or demon until Xiao Tianyang identified him as Allen of the Aries Tribe.
• Xiao Tianyang introduced Allen as Satan’s adjutant and the future liaison, assigning him to coordinate with the two little ones.
• Xiao Tianyang explained that a liaison would maintain the passage and guide dead souls into Eternal Night, improving the cultivation environment and limiting evil beings.
• Xiao Tianyang considered using Eternal Night to remove the cultivation advantage that drew people to become Evil Soul Masters.

Xiao Tianyang arranged Allen’s work in Douluo Continent and went to Shenwu Hall, where Tuantuan tried to assign him Lan as a guide. He sent Tuantuan off with homework and a task for Allen, then prepared to explore with Lan.

• Allen told Xiao Tianyang that clearing the Filth Qi would take about seven days and guiding the departed souls about ten days, with the work overlapping.
• Tuantuan chased after Xiao Tianyang and offered Lan, a Divine Might Legion logistics officer and one of Esdeath’s generals, as his guide around Shenwu Hall.
• Xiao Tianyang questioned Tuantuan’s choice but accepted Lan after she explained that he regularly traveled between the two places.
• Xiao Tianyang assigned Tuantuan homework and told her to organize Douluo Continent’s developmental history for Allen.
• Xiao Tianyang sent Tuantuan away and left Lan to guide him.

Xiao Tianyang toured Shenwu City with Lan before asking to visit the Frontline, where he was especially interested in seeing Esdeath. On the way, he considered the different energy sources used for Soul Tool transportation and the value of Elemental Cores.

• Xiao Tianyang decided to make up for Guoguo and Tuantuan's shortcomings, then asked Lan to guide him around Shenwu City.
• After touring the city for three or four hours, Xiao Tianyang told Lan to take him to the Frontline.
• Xiao Tianyang reflected that Shenwu City had changed little and was glad its foods and drinks still bore his personal mark.
• Lan agreed to escort Xiao Tianyang to the Frontline and stayed silent unless his lord asked him a question.
• Xiao Tianyang reviewed the three Soul Tool energy sources: Soul Power, Divine Might's Soul Power Batteries, and Elemental Cores.
• Xiao Tianyang noted that Elemental Cores were rarely used as vehicle fuel because a short journey could consume enough to raise a Soul Saint to a Titled Douluo.

Xiao Tianyang inspected Shenwu’s civilian Super Energy Hovercraft and learned how Shenwu Academy’s rising standards had kept Lan out of its Mechanical Engineering and Magic Alchemy programs. Lan reflected on how choosing the Combat System led him to Esdeath, whose leadership helped shape his life.

• Xiao Tianyang recognized Shenwu’s vehicle as a civilian prototype based on the Super Energy Hovercraft blueprints he had once provided.
• Lan activated the vehicle and explained that it lacked the weapons, protective shields, and speed of its military versions.
• Lan told Xiao Tianyang that he had missed admission to Mechanical Engineering and Magic Alchemy by two points as Shenwu Academy’s standards rose.
• Lan said that joining the Combat System instead had led him to Esdeath and helped him become who he was.
• Xiao Tianyang recalled that Esdeath had become a ruthless battlefield leader while keeping her friendliness toward subordinates and shyness toward the person she liked.

Xiao Tianyang realized that the system gave summoned characters new childhoods and lives while preserving their strengths and removing their flaws. As he and Lan continued toward the Frontline, he learned more about Esdeath’s long service and recognized how little he truly understood her.

• Xiao Tianyang learned from Lan that Esdeath and the others had grown up with different families, education, and experiences in this world.
• Xiao Tianyang concluded that the system preserved the characters’ talents and preferences while correcting their flaws through altered lives.
• Xiao Tianyang and Lan passed the transit station between Shenwu City and the Frontline without stopping to look around.
• Xiao Tianyang learned that Esdeath had fought on the Frontline for thirteen years without taking leave and had served there for nineteen years.
• Xiao Tianyang concluded that he knew almost nothing about Esdeath beyond her name and a vague recollection of her appearance.

Xiao Tianyang watched the Frontline battle and assessed the commanders and fighters in War Zones One and Two. He then teleported himself and Lan to the War Fortress, where he told Lan to handle the crisis while he stayed behind.

• Xiao Tianyang used his [Ancient Divine Eyes] to survey the Frontline and decided to judge Esdeath's command rather than rush in to help.
• Xiao Tianyang observed Dr. Stylish directing his Combat Puppets and Boros fighting Elemental Envoys in War Zone One.
• Xiao Tianyang watched Seryu command the defense of War Zone Two and noted that she had stayed behind out of duty to her colleagues.
• Lan saw mercenaries and Bounty Hunters heading toward the Frontline and began to alert Xiao Tianyang, but Xiao Tianyang teleported them to the War Fortress.
• Xiao Tianyang told Lan to address the trouble as a general, then destroyed a powerful Elemental Envoy with a casual gesture.

Xiao Tianyang sent Lan away as a precaution while investigating the unusual concentration of forces at Divine Might's Frontline. He then met Esdeath, the Divine Might Legion's commander, who greeted him with unexpected bashfulness and discussed the battle and his companions.

• Xiao Tianyang noted that nearly all of the Divine Might Legion's forces and many other factions had gathered at the city walls, suggesting something unusual was happening.
• Xiao Tianyang sent Lan away to guard against possible changes to the Elemental Kingdom's plans, then concealed himself nearby.
• Xiao Tianyang sensed someone hiding and called out Esdeath, who emerged from concealment looking bashful.
• Esdeath confirmed she commanded the Divine Might Legion, and Xiao Tianyang invited her to speak less formally as she introduced the battle situation.
• Esdeath asked about Yan Lingji, Chi Lian, and Zi Nu, and Xiao Tianyang said they had probably fallen asleep, leaving her puzzled.

Xiao Tianyang and Esdeath discussed the Elemental Kingdom’s latest offensive and the danger posed by the Void Creatures. They concluded that the Elemental Kingdom likely had Void support, and Esdeath began to grasp the reason for its piecemeal attack.

• Xiao Tianyang and Esdeath discussed the Elemental Kingdom’s past failed offensive and considered how the factions might be targeting Douluo Continent.
• Xiao Tianyang recalled that Void Creatures could consume a Plane’s resources and leave it ruined, making them a greater threat than conquest-minded enemies.
• Xiao Tianyang connected the Elemental Kingdom’s sudden offensive with the Void Creatures’ pressure on Douluo Continent’s spatial barrier.
• Xiao Tianyang reasoned that the Void Creatures were the Elemental Kingdom’s most likely outside support, since the Sea of Ten Thousand Evils was occupied and unlikely to risk its elites.
• Esdeath wondered why the Elemental Kingdom was attacking piecemeal, then appeared to realize the reason.

Xiao Tianyang agreed to let Esdeath fight in her own style, and she waited for the Elemental Kingdom to make its move before countering. A sudden attack revealed Seryu’s unusually powerful Martial Soul and left Xiao Tianyang wondering whether her canine companion was the key to the battle.

• Esdeath told Xiao Tianyang that her commander’s role kept her from fighting as freely as she wished, and he agreed to vouch for her trying a different style.
• Esdeath said she preferred to crush the enemy’s schemes after they acted, rather than eliminate every possibility in advance.
• A series of explosions erupted beside the battlefield, and Xiao Tianyang saw a six-meter-tall canine creature tear up a slab of earth and use it to smash Elemental Envoys.
• Xiao Tianyang noticed Seryu wielding a Thirty-Six-Barrel Gatling, and Esdeath explained that Seryu’s Martial Soul could materialize physically.
• Xiao Tianyang recognized that Seryu’s Martial Soul resembled the Imperial Armaments used by the Jaegers, but questioned whether the canine creature was the key.

Xiao Tianyang learned about Seryu’s strength and how Esdeath stopped the True Body Sect from taking her, then watched Black Pupil’s puppets use their Soul Skills in battle. The chapter ended with Xiao Tianyang recognizing that the Fleshball Bear’s attack resembled a character from his memories.

• Esdeath explained that Seryu was a formidable fighter who stayed with Divine Might, and that she had frozen Du Bisi and Du Busi for seven days after they tried to kidnap her.
• Xiao Tianyang asked about Black Pupil’s Martial Soul, and Esdeath explained that her summons were slain beings turned into puppets rather than Soul Tool warriors like Dr. Fashion’s.
• A giant black bear puppet struck at the Elementalists, killing one and injuring many others with its Soul Skill.
• Esdeath explained that Black Pupil could give a puppet one of her Soul Ring slots and use the slain Soul Beast’s own ability.
• Esdeath identified the bear as a Fleshball Bear, and Xiao Tianyang recognized its air-compressing palm strike as resembling a character from his memories.

Xiao Tianyang assessed Black Pupil’s diverse puppets and their strength on the battlefield, especially her hundred-thousand-year evil dragon. As Douluo reinforcements brought the First Battlefield under control, he considered the potential of Esdeath’s forces and the secrets Satan continued to withhold.

• Xiao Tianyang used his Ancient Divine Eyes to inspect Black Pupil’s four-element Elemental Creature and watched it destroy an element wielder with one punch.
• Esdeath explained that Black Pupil’s evil dragon was her first puppet, brought from the Demon Forest with sixty thousand years of cultivation and later raised to a hundred thousand.
• Xiao Tianyang watched the evil dragon’s claws and corrosive Dragon Breath devastate the element wielders, and judged that Esdeath’s forces still had considerable potential.
• Xiao Tianyang recalled learning about breakthrough methods from Satan but chose not to press him about the secrets he was concealing.
• Douluo reinforcements brought the First Battlefield under control, mercenaries and Bounty Hunters coordinated better, and Divine Might’s point system rewarded battlefield performance and special feats.

Esdeath joined the battle and unleashed her extreme ice powers against the Elementalists, changing the course of the fighting. She froze a powerful enemy with Absolute Zero while Xiao Tianyang watched from behind her.

• Esdeath transformed into wisps of ice and flew toward the battlefield, revealing her Extreme Ice Physique and rare External Soul Bone.
• Esdeath used Extreme Ice Spike to freeze the ground and impale Elementalists, targeting an enemy who had reduced his cultivation to Limit Douluo level.
• The Elementalists concentrated their attacks on Esdeath to stop her and prepare for a powerful resource to descend onto the battlefield.
• Esdeath drew Extreme Ice Soul and used Extreme Ice: Instant Severance to cut down several Elementalists.
• Esdeath's Po Jun Ice Spear struck the powerful Elementalist and froze him solid before he shattered, leading Xiao Tianyang to recognize the attack as Absolute Zero.

Xiao Tianyang watched Esdeath devastate the battlefield, then discovered that the Elemental Kingdom had deployed a vast force of spatial creatures as part of Plan X. He ordered Guoguo to mobilize Shenwu City’s strongest fighters and weapons, leaving its leaders to gather at Shenwu Hall.

• Esdeath joined the battle and swiftly killed more than ten Elemental Envoys and dozens of Elemental Creatures, though the rift continued to expand.
• Xiao Tianyang identified a translucent mutant Elemental creature carrying a hidden Void Gate and spotted four formations of spatial Elemental Creatures in the distance.
• Xiao Tianyang called Guoguo and ordered him to assemble Shenwu City’s combat-ready forces and bring out every weapon suitable for battle.
• Guoguo issued a hidden high-level assembly order, prompting Shenwu City’s top experts to head for Shenwu Hall.
• Su Ziming arrived at Shenwu Hall, where a tall woman in a white lab coat descended and addressed him with a cold sneer.

Guoguo summoned Divine Might’s senior leaders and relayed Xiao Tianyang’s urgent orders to reinforce the Frontline. As the leaders departed through a transfer station, Su Ziming, You Mingyue, and Li Cunxiao remained behind.

• Su Ziming and You Mingyue entered Shenwu Hall, where they joined other powerful figures summoned by Guoguo.
• Guoguo explained that Xiao Tianyang had returned to Divine Might before going to the Frontline and had issued two orders.
• Guoguo ordered the attendees to secretly rendezvous with Xiao Tianyang and send every available combatant and the Shenwu Research Institute’s lethal weapons to the Frontline.
• The summoned leaders entered a teleportation passage to a transfer station rather than traveling directly to the Frontline.
• Su Ziming, You Mingyue, and Li Cunxiao stayed behind while the others departed.

Su Ziming, You Mingyue, and Li Cunxiao began mobilizing Divine Might’s experts and troops for an upcoming battle, while Xiao Tianyang learned how the organization had become self-sufficient. The chapter left the preparations underway, with Li Cunxiao assembling the Flying Tiger Legion for combat.

• Su Ziming gathered Shenwu Academy’s teachers, You Mingyue set out to collect weapons, and Li Cunxiao assembled the Flying Tiger Legion for battle.
• Li Cunxiao’s demanding training had given the Flying Tiger Legion a fierce, valiant style, and Guoguo warned him to handle the mission well.
• Guoguo returned to Xiao Tianyang and explained that Divine Might now operated through its own management system, requiring only a gathering order and two assigned tasks.
• More than a dozen summoned figures arrived at the War Fortress, and Shi Guang told Xiao Tianyang that Li Cunxiao, Su Ziming, and You Mingyue were gathering experts under their command.

Guoguo explained Shenwu Academy’s combat strength and the strict authorization needed to retrieve weapons from its arsenal. As Su Ziming and You Mingyue arrived at the War Fortress with hundreds of people, Xiao Tianyang assessed the forces and realized they would need to include some Super Douluo to meet the numbers required.

• Guoguo explained that Shenwu Academy had more than a hundred Limit Douluo, including three whose reputations rivaled the headmaster’s.
• Guoguo said the Shenwu Research Institute’s director had to return and join two Vice Directors to authorize the retrieval of dangerous weapons.
• Xiao Tianyang waited at the War Fortress and decided to assess the gathered fighters’ abilities and combat habits.
• Su Ziming and You Mingyue arrived with roughly three hundred people, bringing the total gathered force to nearly six hundred.
• Xiao Tianyang calculated that even with Li Cunxiao’s group, they would be about three hundred short, so he considered adding Super Douluo to the force.

Xiao Tianyang assembled powerful fighters and three elite battalions to propose a voluntary counterattack against the Elemental Kingdom. After hearing his plan and the danger it involved, the assembled forces prepared to follow his arrangements and destroy selected targets inside the kingdom.

• Xiao Tianyang assessed the gathered experts and asked Guoguo to bring Li Cunxiao and the three strongest battalions.
• Li Cunxiao arrived with three battle-hardened battalions, and Xiao Tianyang announced his plan to counterattack the Elemental Kingdom.
• Xiao Tianyang told the fighters that joining was voluntary and directed those who chose to fight to rendezvous with the Flying Tiger Legion.
• The assembled fighters decided to stay and support Xiao Tianyang, then listened as he described the mission and scenes he had witnessed inside the Elemental Kingdom.
• The fighters grew grave as they realized the situation differed from the earlier battle at the Demon Forest.

Xiao Tianyang considered how to preserve the balance between Divine Might and Baihua Tower, then learned about the Shenwu Research Institute’s powerful God of Death Missiles. He left worried about the threat they posed but was reassured that their designs and materials were tightly controlled.

• Xiao Tianyang explained that Divine Might could govern itself and said he favored Liu Ruyi as a future leader.
• You Mingyue revealed that the Shenwu Research Institute had developed God of Death Missiles capable of severely injuring or killing powerful gods.
• You Mingyue described the missiles’ evolution and explained that the Annihilation Grade could target Second-level Gods.
• Xiao Tianyang worried that the missiles could threaten him or be stolen and asked who possessed their blueprints.
• You Mingyue assured Xiao Tianyang that the designs were divided among senior leaders, materials were monitored, and only Divine Might could manufacture the missiles.
