Chapter Summaries

Han Yuchen stopped the Asura God Shadow’s devastating attack and destroyed the polluted divine projection. As the Origin Slaughter Qi tried to return to Tang San, Han Yuchen reached out to seize it.

• The Asura God Shadow crushed Dai Mubai and Oscar beneath its divine pressure, while Han Yuchen recognized that Solonsen’s shadow tentacles had parasitized the god.
• Han Yuchen mocked the Asura God Shadow, provoking it to raise its Blood-Colored Greatsword and prepare a strike powerful enough to split Heaven Dou City.
• Leng Yuebai stepped in front of Han Yuchen and prepared to attack, but he stopped her and ordered her to stand behind him.
• Han Yuchen used his Restraint soul skill to halt the greatsword and rebound twice its force, shattering the blade and destroying the Asura God Shadow.
• The collapse freed Dai Mubai and sent the unconscious Tang San crashing into the ruins, while Han Yuchen spotted the escaping Origin Slaughter Qi and reached to capture it.

Han Yuchen captured the Asura God’s Origin Slaughter Qi in a star-sealed bottle and forced the injured Tang San to act as bait for Prince Xue Xing’s army. Just as Tang San agreed to obey, Leng Yuebai collapsed after coughing silver blood, leaving Han Yuchen alarmed.

• Han Yuchen seized the fleeing Origin Slaughter Qi with the Power of Stars and sealed it inside a glass bottle.
• Tang San woke and discovered that his Divine Slaughter’s Domain had lost its core source, which Han Yuchen now held in the bottle.
• Han Yuchen mocked Tang San, claimed he had saved him, and ordered him to lure Prince Xue Xing and the Royal Knights to Vermilion Bird Street.
• Han Yuchen threatened to destroy the bottled killing intent, and Tang San reluctantly agreed to go as bait.
• Leng Yuebai staggered and collapsed after silver blood spilled from her mouth, and Han Yuchen caught her before she hit the ground.

After the plane’s laws struck Leng Yuebai through her connection to Han Yuchen, he stowed her in the Star Atlas’s Dimensional Space to recover. Furious, Han Yuchen turned his attention to the Blood Sacrifice Array beneath Heaven Dou City and prepared to destroy the forces behind the backlash.

• Tang San withdrew his Clear Sky Hammer and continued toward the Royal Knights as Han Yuchen’s coerced bait.
• Leng Yuebai collapsed and coughed silver blood as the Star Radiance Heavenly Silk lost its light.
• Han Yuchen realized the Douluo Plane’s laws had redirected their backlash onto Leng Yuebai and placed her in the Star Atlas’s Dimensional Space.
• Han Yuchen unleashed a crushing killing intent that forced Tang San to his knees and knocked Dai Mubai unconscious.
• Han Yuchen sensed the source of the shadow in the Blood Sacrifice Array beneath Heaven Dou City and vowed to smash the array and its hidden forces.

Nightmare Douluo realized Han Yuchen could threaten Lord Solonsen’s descent ritual and redirected the Shadow Demon forces and stolen energy to create three powerful Shadow Emissaries. He sent the monsters toward Han Yuchen in Heaven Dou City’s western district, setting up their confrontation.

• Nightmare Douluo watched a crystal ball replay Han Yuchen destroying the Asura God Shadow and the High-Dimensional Shadow tentacle, then sensed Han Yuchen’s killing intent targeting the underground altar.
• Nightmare Douluo ordered the Shadow Demons to stop their massacre and return the array’s energy, causing them to abandon their attacks and retreat underground.
• The Shadow Spore energy and blood sacrifice flowed back into the altar’s Blood Pool, where Nightmare Douluo raised three Shadow Emissaries made from Titled Douluo-level corpses.
• Nightmare Douluo destroyed the crystal ball and implanted Han Yuchen’s coordinates and soul aura into the Shadow Emissaries’ killing commands.
• The three Shadow Emissaries broke through the earth and buildings and flew toward Han Yuchen in the western district.

Han Yuchen arranged to draw Tang San, three Shadow Emissaries, and Prince Xue Xing’s Royal Knights into a deadly trap on Vermilion Bird Street, seeking vengeance for Leng Yuebai’s injury. As the monsters pursued Tang San toward the street, the battle royale began with Prince Xue Xing still unaware of the danger.

• Han Yuchen used the Star Atlas to locate three Shadow Emissaries approaching through Heaven Dou City’s underground waterways.
• Han Yuchen ordered the wounded Tang San to lure Prince Xue Xing and the Royal Knights to Vermilion Bird Street, threatening him with the bottled Asura God's Origin Slaughter Qi until Tang San obeyed.
• Han Yuchen told Dugu Bo to seal the street’s exits with poison formations and kill anyone who approached.
• Han Yuchen concealed himself after vowing that the rebels and underground monsters would pay for Leng Yuebai’s injury.
• The first Shadow Emissary followed Tang San’s trail toward Vermilion Bird Street, and the other two soon pursued it while Prince Xue Xing remained unaware.

Prince Xue Xing’s Royal Knights ravaged Vermilion Bird Street until a Shadow Emissary descended and slaughtered them, while the wounded Tang San tried to escape. From the Star Gazing Pavilion, Han Yuchen tracked Tang San and forced him toward a burning dead end, leaving him under Han Yuchen’s control.

• Prince Xue Xing ordered the Royal Knights to loot and burn Vermilion Bird Street, and the battered Tang San crashed into the street after Han Yuchen drove him there.
• A Shadow Emissary landed among the knights, ignored Tang San, and began slaughtering the Royal Knights as Prince Xue Xing was thrown from his horse and broke his leg.
• Han Yuchen watched the massacre through the [Star Atlas] and soothed the uneasy Leng Yuebai inside the [Dimensional Space].
• Han Yuchen spotted Tang San trying to flee and used the Power of Stars to warn him that he would destroy the bottle holding Tang San’s Asura God killing intent.
• Tang San obeyed Han Yuchen’s command and dragged his Clear Sky Hammer toward the flame-blocked dead end.

Tang San was forced by Han Yuchen to lure the Shadow Emissary into an alley, where the monster nearly killed him. Han Yuchen struck it down from Star Gazing Pavilion, but its remains seeped underground, leading him to suspect a hidden power beneath Heaven Dou City.

• Han Yuchen forced Tang San to enter a dead-end alley while threatening to destroy his Killing Intent Bottle.
• Tang San used King Yama's Post to poison the Shadow Emissary's left eye, but the monster suppressed the toxin and shattered his arms with a crushing blow.
• Han Yuchen used the Star Atlas to combine Unmissable Spear and Sacred Qilin Flash Strike, infusing the attack with Leng Yuebai's silver starlight.
• Han Yuchen's spear pierced the Shadow Emissary's skull from across Heaven Dou City and killed it just as it was about to strike Tang San.
• The Emissary's body melted into black water that burrowed underground, and Han Yuchen suspected a powerful presence was hiding beneath Heaven Dou City.

A second Shadow Emissary attacked Star Gazing Pavilion, overwhelming Dugu Bo until Han Yuchen empowered his martial soul with Star Law. As Dugu Bo gained the upper hand, Han Yuchen sensed a far stronger surge of Shadow Origin at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

• The second Shadow Emissary smashed into the plaza outside Star Gazing Pavilion, and Dugu Bo attacked it with his martial soul avatar and poison.
• The Emissary absorbed Dugu Bo’s poison and struck him through the pavilion roof, leaving him badly injured beside Han Yuchen.
• Han Yuchen infused Dugu Bo with Star Law, transforming his martial soul into the Star-Glitter Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor.
• Dugu Bo struck the Emissary with his starlit serpent tail, shattering its armor and sending it flying.
• Han Yuchen sensed a blood-red pillar of Shadow Origin rising from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and turned his attention toward the greater threat.

Han Yuchen saved Chen Xin and Ning Fengzhi from a Shadow Emissary attacking the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, then guided Chen Xin to kill it. The Emissary’s death triggered a formation beneath the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace, and Han Yuchen recognized that the enemy had activated the Sky Curtain Core.

• The third Shadow Emissary overwhelmed Chen Xin and trapped him and Ning Fengzhi inside the shadow-sealed ruins of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
• Han Yuchen used Water and Sky Unite from the Star Gazing Pavilion to rebound the Emissary’s scythe and destroy its right arm.
• Han Yuchen identified the Emissary’s weakness, and Chen Xin struck the spot three inches below its throat and killed it.
• The Emissary’s corpse melted into black liquid and announced that the formation was complete.
• Han Yuchen saw Shadow Origin gathering around the three dead emissaries and a crimson point flickering beneath the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace, then realized the Sky Curtain Core had been activated.

Han Yuchen absorbed the Shadow Origin and transformed his Fifth Soul Ring into a two-hundred-thousand-year ring, gaining the soul skill Star Abyss Wrath. After using the remaining energy to heal Leng Yuebai, he set out for the palace to confront the source of the Shadow Canopy.

• The Star Atlas pulled the Shadow Origin left by the three fallen Shadow Emissaries into Star Gazing Pavilion and converted it into Power of Stars for Han Yuchen.
• Han Yuchen tempered his body and Fifth Soul Ring until it reached two hundred thousand years, while his Soul Power rose to level fifty-four.
• Han Yuchen sent some of the purified Power of Stars into Dimensional Space, where it restored Leng Yuebai as she slept.
• The Star Atlas revealed Han Yuchen's new Fifth Soul Skill, Star Abyss Wrath, which suppressed energy and laws within its domain.
• Han Yuchen detected the Shadow Canopy's anchor above Heaven Dou Imperial Palace and traveled there to confront Solonsen's scheme.

Han Yuchen bypassed the Shadow Barrier and entered the corrupted palace hall, where Qian Renxue was being drained to power the Sky Curtain Array. He ignored her suffering to tend to Leng Yuebai, then sat down to watch Qian Renxue’s torment, leaving his intentions toward her unclear.

• Han Yuchen ignored Qian Renxue’s pleas and took out a chair, then told her to continue struggling while he watched the array drain her.

• Han Yuchen told Qian Renxue that the Angel God had not saved her because the god had tacitly allowed the Shadow Array to drain her.

Han Yuchen used the Star Atlas to show Qian Renxue that the Shadow Canopy resembled Spirit Hall’s Angel Descent formation and claimed her faith and life had been sacrificed to Solonsen’s shadow. With Qian Renxue broken and her Angel God aura fading, Han Yuchen prepared to offer her a choice.

• Qian Renxue struggled against the Shadow Chains and rejected Han Yuchen’s claim that the Angel God had abandoned her.
• Han Yuchen used the Star Atlas to reveal the Shadow Canopy’s formation and a projection of Spirit Hall’s Angel Descent secret technique.

• Han Yuchen claimed the God Realm had been infiltrated by Solonsen and that Qian Daoliu and the Angel God had made Qian Renxue a vessel for the Shadow Array.
• Qian Renxue collapsed into despair as her Angel God aura faded, and Han Yuchen offered her two choices, beginning with dying in the chains.

• Han Yuchen offered Qian Renxue revenge against the Gods in exchange for her submission and the Angel God Armor Core Fragment.

• Han Yuchen froze and shattered the Shadow Vines with his Fourth Soul Skill, freeing Qian Renxue, who tried to kneel before him.
• Han Yuchen noticed a dark-purple pulse beneath a corroded floor tile as the Star Atlas heated and its pages flickered with scarlet light.

After discovering that Solonsen’s shadow power converged beneath the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace, Han Yuchen took the restored Qian Renxue into the underground passage. They reached the source of the Shadow Origin, where an unseen voice addressed Han Yuchen as “Starlight vermin” and said he had come too late.

• Han Yuchen and Qian Renxue reached an underground cavern and found a pulsing Shadow Origin tumor on a bone altar.
• A hidden voice called Han Yuchen a “Starlight vermin” and told him he had come too late.

Han Yuchen entered the Underground Waterway with Qian Renxue and destroyed a swarm of Shadow Monsters with his transformed Sword Dance, absorbing their Shadow Origin through the Star Atlas. After Leng Yuebai briefly emerged from the Dimensional Space and returned to it, Han Yuchen faced the awakening of a powerful gatekeeper deeper in the waterway.

• Han Yuchen and Qian Renxue entered the Underground Waterway after the altar collapsed and released a surge of Shadow Miasma.
• A horde of Mutated Water Ghosts and Shadow Crawlers attacked, but Han Yuchen used a hundred-layer Sword Dance to erase them and let the Star Atlas absorb their Shadow Origin.
• Leng Yuebai emerged from the Dimensional Space, clung to Han Yuchen's coat, and returned to the space after he soothed her.
• Han Yuchen turned toward the waterway's depths as a heavy heartbeat and immense pressure announced the true gatekeeper's awakening.

Han Yuchen and Qian Renxue entered a cavern where they discovered that the black-robed ritualist was Qian Chongjue, a Spirit Hall elder thought to have died a century ago. Qian Chongjue revealed his allegiance to the Lord of Shadows and unleashed his corrupted power, leaving Han Yuchen and Qian Renxue facing his attack.

• Han Yuchen led Qian Renxue into a vast cavern, where a black-robed man stood atop a bone altar surrounded by a shadow-powered ritual.
• The black-robed man revealed his face, and Qian Renxue recognized him as Qian Chongjue, Spirit Hall's former Judgment Elder, believed to have died alongside Tang Chen a hundred years earlier.
• Qian Chongjue claimed the Lord of Shadows had saved him and granted him power beyond angels and the Sea God, provoking Qian Renxue's anger.

• Qian Chongjue pulled a black, beating heart from his chest and revealed himself as a corrupted rank 99 Limit Douluo with a blood-red Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring.
• Qian Chongjue unleashed his oppressive shadow power and threatened to make Han Yuchen and Qian Renxue nourishment for his sacrifice.

Han Yuchen used Dragon Strike to strip Qian Chongjue of his defenses, then pierced and pinned him with a causality-guided water dragon. Absorbing Qian Chongjue’s Shadow Origin raised Han Yuchen’s First Spirit Ring to a hundred thousand years and his Soul Power to rank fifty-six, but Qian Chongjue revealed that Lord Solonsen had noticed them just as a heartbeat plunged the cavern into darkness.

• Qian Chongjue unleashed his Limit Douluo pressure and attacked Han Yuchen with five Space Rifts, while Qian Renxue struggled to withstand the force.

• Qian Chongjue declared that Lord Solonsen had noticed Han Yuchen, and an immense heartbeat plunged the cavern into darkness.

Qian Chongjue sacrificed himself to open an Abyss Gate beneath Heaven Dou City, unleashing a wave of Shadow Energy and summoning a monstrous tentacle. Han Yuchen shielded Leng Yuebai and faced the creature as it emerged from the rift.

• Han Yuchen tried to kill Qian Chongjue, but Qian Chongjue tore himself free and crushed the shadow divine blood heart he had hidden in his chest.
• Qian Chongjue’s sacrifice destroyed the altar and sent a dark-purple pillar of light through Heaven Dou City, tearing open a rift to an Abyss dimension.
• The rift’s Shadow Energy overwhelmed Qian Renxue, but the Starlight Contract protected her from being killed.
• Han Yuchen stepped in front of Leng Yuebai, warned her not to use her martial soul, and challenged the force beyond the rift.
• A vast tentacle covered in thousands of eyes emerged from the rift and fixed its gaze on Han Yuchen.

A tentacled will-descent of the Cosmic Shadow Overlord Solonsen emerged through a rift and overwhelmed the cavern with demigod pressure, leaving Qian Renxue unconscious. Han Yuchen shielded Leng Yuebai and challenged Solonsen, but the creature charged an Annihilation Death Ray at him as the chapter ended.
