Chapter Summaries

Han Li developed the Blood Fiend Art to turn Slaughter City's killing energy into a controlled means of strengthening his group, then began considering how the city's rules might be used to create soul masters. After three months of harvesting Bloody Mary and suppressing the city's violence, his group left Slaughter City on the verge of a storm while the God Realm's gods watched them.

• Han Li and Dugu Bo survived nightly attacks in Slaughter City, killing their assailants as the Black Armor Guards removed the bodies each morning.
• Han Li gave the group the Blood Fiend Art, explaining how to channel killing energy through their External Soul Bones while protecting their Soul Power.
• Han Li concluded that Slaughter City's rules could potentially create soul masters, but decided to study and improve the bloody process rather than pursue it immediately.
• Over the next three months, Han Li's group cultivated, fought in the arena, and collected Bloody Mary, while using their threatening presence to make Slaughter City's residents fight less often.
• The gods of the God Realm Committee watched Han Li's group, and Asura's growing calm and contemplation made Destruction uncomfortable.

After resting for five days, Han Li prepared to crush the Slaughter City ambush and confront the Slaughter King’s interference. He left his companions behind and charged into the attackers, whose fear gave way to renewed violence and greed as they realized he could use soul skills.

• Han Li told Dugu Yan, Dugu Bo, and the others to rest, warning that a major battle might break out when they next went outside.
• After monitoring the inner city, Han Li asked Good Son to block energy from flowing into Slaughter City, knowing the effort would put it to sleep for up to a year and a half.
• On the sixth day, Han Li refused Dugu Bo’s offer to accompany him and went out alone, unleashing his full killing intent as he challenged the ambushers.
• When the attackers stepped forward, Han Li struck them with fireballs and raced through their ranks in an azure streak, killing many and driving others to flee.
• A surviving agitator urged the crowd to fight Han Li and seize the secret behind his soul skills, stirring many people to join the attack.

Han Li and his companions slaughtered their attackers in Slaughter City, then Han Li confronted the Slaughter King over the city’s broken agreement. He threatened to have Spirit Hall cut off Slaughter City’s supplies and access if he was not allowed to leave within a year and a half.

• Han Li fought through the attackers, then combined his Dualistic Domain with Dugu Yan and Shui Bing’er’s power to unleash Ice-Flame Demon Calamity Break and destroy the street’s assailants.
• Destruction, Evil, and Asura discussed Han Li’s attack at the God Realm Central Hub, and Destruction sent a God Officer to summon Rong Nianbing.
• The Slaughter King watched Han Li’s group leave, fed on the Woman in Black Veil, and wondered how Han Li had stolen the city’s energy.
• Han Li and his companions cultivated at their residence, and the Woman in Black Veil came the next morning to lead him to the Slaughter King.
• Han Li told the Slaughter King that Spirit Hall would bar entry to Slaughter City and cut off its supplies if he was not allowed to leave within a year and a half.

Han Li confronted the Slaughter King, used faint divine auras to make it believe he had multiple divine inheritances, and secured an agreement to complete his training without interference. In the God Realm, Rong Nianbing considered offering Han Li an inheritance, while Asura and Destruction debated whether that would violate the rules.

• The Slaughter King tested Han Li with killing intent, but Han Li stood his ground and challenged it to attack him.
• Han Li displayed four faint divine auras and convinced the Slaughter King that killing him could provoke several gods.
• The Slaughter King agreed not to interfere with Han Li as long as he used only killing intent and promised not to return after earning the domain.
• After Han Li left, he mocked the Slaughter King, while the God Realm Committee watched their exchange.
• Rong Nianbing asked Asura whether he could offer Han Li an inheritance, and Asura said he could do so if Han Li failed its trial.
• Destruction questioned Rong Nianbing for invoking the God Realm's rules after the events that had brought them together.

Han Li and his four companions completed their hundredth matches in Slaughter City and chose to enter the Hell Road. As the Slaughter King opened it, Han Li watched the arena’s spectators become sacrifices before the group was drawn down to the road’s starting platform.

• Han Li returned to the residential district and let Dugu Bo handle capturing opponents for their upcoming matches.
• After ten months, Han Li’s group reached their hundredth victories, while Slaughter City’s residents celebrated and competed to avoid being sent to fight them.
• Han Li killed his final opponent in the Hell Slaughter Arena, and the Slaughter King congratulated the group and offered Han Li’s companions honored status if they declined the Hell Road.
• Han Li’s companions chose to attempt the Hell Road, and the Slaughter King opened it as the arena’s spectators watched.
• A red barrier trapped the spectators, who mutilated themselves as their blood gathered beneath the group; the Slaughter King then sent Han Li and his companions down to the Hell Road.
• Han Li’s group landed on a circular platform, and Han Li told them to circulate the Blood Fiend Art to steady themselves.

Han Li led Dugu Bo and the three women along Hell Road, testing that flight was possible and clearing the path of blood-red bats. He killed the Darkgold Three-Headed Bat King with a concealed, oversized arrow and continued toward the end of the road, where he prepared the three women for the next battle.

• Han Li saw the crimson Blood Pool below the platform, then tested Hell Road by flying ahead with a Soul Power thread tied to Dugu Bo.
• Han Li led the group along the narrow path and used his Dualistic Domain to kill the approaching swarm of blood-red bats.
• Han Li sensed the Darkgold Three-Headed Bat King below, concealed his arrow's energy, and struck all three heads with a spiritual attack before killing it with an enormous elemental blast.
• Han Li carried Xiu'er across the broken path and guided the group through the growing heat, explaining that the harsh journey would help them adapt and earn their domains.
• Han Li told the three women to handle the next battle while he and Dugu Bo backed them up.

Dugu Yan, Shui Bing'er, and Xiu'er fought a clever fire-and-poison serpent on the narrow path through Hell Road. Xiu'er killed it, and Dugu Yan was left holding its golden-red Inner Core with an urge to swallow it.

• Dugu Yan took command and had Shui Bing'er test the serpent with Ice Spears while Xiu'er prepared to attack.
• Shui Bing'er trapped the serpent in ice as Dugu Yan absorbed its poisonous flames and advanced with Xiu'er.
• The serpent tried to flee, then launched itself toward the narrow path to attack Xiu'er and destroy her footing.
• Xiu'er used Burst Step to leap into the air, and Shui Bing'er created an icy passage and an ice spike to support her.
• Xiu'er deflected the serpent's Inner Core toward Dugu Yan, then struck its head and impaled its body on the ice spike, killing it.
• Dugu Yan caught the golden-red Inner Core and felt an urge to swallow it.

Han Li led Dugu Bo, Dugu Yan, Shui Bing'er, and Xiu'er through the final stretch of Hell Road, helping them resist its heat and killing intent before they reached the exit. After crossing the white screen, Han Li mastered a unique version of Divine Slaughter's Domain, and he signaled Broad Hill and Azure Luan that the group had emerged.

• Han Li took the Ten Headed Fierce Yang Serpent's Inner Core from Dugu Yan to study, explaining that it could transform her martial soul and possibly become her Origin Soul Ring.
• Han Li gave the women Dragon Mushroom Leaves and instructed everyone to keep circulating the Blood Fiend Art as they crossed Hell Road's increasingly oppressive final stretch.
• The group reached the sea of blood, where Han Li and Dugu Bo carried the exhausted women across the chasm and through the white light screen.
• Inside the white void, Han Li clashed with its killing aura, devoured it, and mastered a blood-red domain bearing a mark that changed to resemble each of his companions.
• Han Li raised a two-colored lotus to signal their arrival, and Broad Hill flew toward the signal as Azure Luan followed.

Han Li reunited with Broad Hill and Azure Luan after leaving Slaughter City, then discussed traveling and his next Soul Ring. He revealed that he planned to hunt a Dark Demon Evil God Tiger in the Star Dou Great Forest after a week, while studying the Inner Core first.

• Broad Hill and Azure Luan welcomed Han Li, Shui Bing'er, and Dugu Bo back, then led them to camp to rest.
• Han Li said he planned to travel rather than return to Spirit City, and he refused Broad Hill and Dugu Bo's offers to accompany him.
• Broad Hill revealed that he and Azure Luan had completed a silent, invisible Martial Soul Fusion Skill suited to sneak attacks.
• Han Li explained that his sixth Soul Ring would come from a fifty- or sixty-thousand-year-old Dark Demon Evil God Tiger in the Star Dou Great Forest.
• Han Li said they would leave in a week because he wanted to study the Inner Core before hunting the tiger.

After leaving Slaughter City, Han Li learned that the Seven Profound Sect Commerce had prospered and set its leaders straight about competition with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. He then revealed a new Soul Core method that could accelerate cultivation and lead to the highest ranks, while noting that helping the three girls use it depended on dealing with the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger.

• Han Li and Dugu Bo rested with Broad Hill and Azure Luan, then discussed the Commerce's growth and its restrained rivalry with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
• Han Li ordered the Commerce to keep expanding according to its original plans and said he would address its leaders after reaching town.
• After Han Li met with the Commerce's leaders, he spent several days researching with the awakened Plane Consciousness and gave the Inner Core to Dugu Yan.
• Han Li explained that his Soul Core method could combine essence, qi, and spirit, improve recovery and endurance, and absorb spatial power to accelerate cultivation.
• Han Li said the method's high threshold made it unsuitable for the three girls for now, and that their prospects depended on defeating the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger.

Han Li began preparing Azure Luan to condense a Soul Core using a risky method modeled on an Inner Core, then helped Dugu Yan consume an Inner Core to evolve her Martial Soul. After hours of cultivation, Dugu Yan’s transformation neared its end as a familiar croak sounded and a new Martial Soul phantom appeared.

• Han Li chose Azure Luan to attempt the Soul Core method first because he had the best self-control, and gave him instructions to study and follow.
• Broad Hill and Dugu Bo questioned the risks, while Han Li explained that his assistance would make the process reliable and that the method unified energy from the start.
• Han Li asked Dugu Yan to swallow the Inner Core, liquefied it with his powers, and helped suppress its serpentine aura.
• Dugu Yan drank the Inner Core and began refining it while Broad Hill and Dugu Bo left to catch snakes and the others watched over her.
• Dugu Yan’s Soul Power grew turbulent, her flames and hair turned golden-red, and she continued cultivating for nearly two hours.
• Han Li announced that Dugu Yan was about to wake; a familiar croak sounded, and a new Martial Soul phantom appeared above her.

Dugu Yan evolved her Martial Soul, gained an Origin Soul Ring and the Fiery Sun Domain, then the group traveled to the Star Dou Great Forest to obtain Soul Rings for Shui Bing'er and Xiu'er. After both girls absorbed their new rings, Han Li pointed out the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger as his next target.

• Dugu Yan's Martial Soul evolved, and she gained a growing Origin Soul Ring, the Nine Suns Shine Soul Skill, and the Fiery Sun Domain.
• The group spent a day resting and shopping before setting out for the Star Dou Great Forest.
• Han Li led the group to a Snow Kite, where it chased a Dark Gold Bear carrying an egg, and the three Super Douluo knocked both beasts unconscious.
• Shui Bing'er and Xiu'er absorbed their new Soul Rings, gained Soul Bones, and reached levels sixty-six and sixty-two respectively.
• Han Li pointed northwest toward fleeing flying Soul Beasts and identified the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger as his target.

Han Li and his senior uncle and master prepared an ambush for the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, while Dugu Bo and the women stayed behind. Han Li lured the tiger into attacking him, but the chapter ended with it pouncing after him in midair.

• Azure Luan stopped Broad Hill from rushing toward the dangerous Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, and Han Li told the others to wait at a safe distance.
• Han Li took poison from Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan, then agreed with Azure Luan and Broad Hill on an ambush plan and a signal for when they should attack.
• Han Li drove a wounded Flame Tiger into the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's territory, where the creature killed and devoured it before facing him.
• Han Li fired an arrow and flew upward, drawing the tiger's attacks while Azure Luan and Broad Hill stayed concealed and waited for his signal.
• The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger roared and pounced toward Han Li in the air.

Han Li defeated the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger with a carefully prepared combination of soul skills, then sealed the bead left behind with his Dualistic Domain. Broad Hill and Azure Luan arrived, and Broad Hill went to fetch the others while Han Li examined the remaining spoils.

• Han Li used his Ricochet Levitation Arrow to repeatedly knock the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger back, then fled when it countered the barrage with its tail.
• The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger dashed after Han Li, but Han Li stopped its attack with a mental strike and trapped it in place with red and white light.
• Han Li shot the tiger through the mouth and used follow-up attacks to fatally wound it before making its body explode inside ice and seven-colored venom.
• A gray soul ring, a black bead, and a strange Soul Bone remained; Han Li froze and sealed them with his Dualistic Domain.
• At the God Realm Central Hub, Evil denied interfering and said he would not meddle in the inheritance.
• Broad Hill and Azure Luan arrived, and Broad Hill went to call Dugu Bo and the others while Han Li gave Azure Luan a Dragon Mushroom Leaf and examined the remains.

Han Li absorbed the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger’s Soul Ring and Soul Bone, gaining powerful new abilities and reaching level 69. After revealing his gains to his companions, he confirmed that his Divine Slaughter’s Domain had evolved.

• Qingluan Shibo warned Han Li that the Pope had become strange and that he could become a target if conflict broke out, while Han Li asked him to keep Master in check.
• Han Li showed the group the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger’s Inner Core and Soul Bone, identifying its tail hook and wondering whether it carried the Life and Death Arena.
• Dugu Bo, Dugu Yan, and Shui Bing’er dealt with the poison while the others guarded Han Li as he absorbed the Soul Ring and Soul Bone.

• Han Li told the group that he had inherited nearly all the tiger’s abilities, then confirmed that his Divine Slaughter’s Domain had evolved.

Han Li tested his new Great Dark Heaven domain, revealing its strengths and weaknesses to his companions before setting out for Heaven Dou City to condense his Soul Core. After the group left the Star Dou Great Forest, Di Tian investigated the traces at their battlefield, then abandoned his pursuit of the escaping Sky Dream Ice Silkworm to avoid drawing trouble to his lord.

• Han Li used Great Dark Heaven against Broad Hill, demonstrating how it concealed him, suppressed enemies, and let him launch surprise attacks.
• Dugu Bo and Shui Bing'er assessed the domain's effects, and Han Li explained its limits, including its short range and Angel Domain as a counter.
• Han Li revealed that he was a level sixty-nine Battle Soul Emperor and said he planned to obtain his Seventh Soul Ring without a fight before heading to Heaven Dou City to condense his Soul Core.
• Han Li said the Ice Mang Frost Vine had likely matured and promised immortal herbs that could help Broad Hill, Azure Luan, and Dugu Bo strengthen their foundations.
• After Han Li and his companions left the forest, Di Tian found traces of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger and suspected that humans had inherited a divine legacy.
• Di Tian chose not to pursue the escaping Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, while the silkworm tunneled underground in the direction the others had traveled.

Han Li discussed the All-Continent Soul Master Competition with Broad Hill and agreed that Shui Bing'er and Dugu Yan could participate under Skywater Academy. He then used the Little Light Orb to survey Heaven Dou City and manipulate events around Tang San and Xiao Wu, before learning how the Shrek group had settled into Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

• Broad Hill asked Han Li whether he would form a team for the All-Continent Soul Master Competition, but Han Li declined and invited Shui Bing'er and Dugu Yan to compete under Skywater Academy instead.
• Han Li said he would address Ye Lingling's situation in Heaven Dou and that Qian Renxue's Soul Core plans required approval from Qian Daoliu.
• The Little Light Orb told Han Li it had seized more than half the control authority and showed him Tang San and Xiao Wu cultivating at Royal Heaven Dou Academy.
• Han Li ordered the Little Light Orb to conceal Xiao Wu's identity and use Tang San's luck, causing some of Tang San's mist-like aura to flow toward a neighboring room.
• The Little Light Orb reported that Shrek had joined Heaven Dou Royal Academy's second team, Qian Renxue had offered support to Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing, and Liu Erlong's relationship with Flender and Yu Xiaogang had made no progress.

Han Li and Broad Hill arrived in Heaven Dou Imperial City and met with Qian Renxue, who had gained greater freedom and influence at the Crown Prince’s Residence. Han Li discussed the competition, Zhu Zhuqing, and recruiting the Ye Family, then stayed to share a royal feast with Qian Renxue.

• Han Li settled into a grand residence with Broad Hill and the others, then agreed to visit Qian Renxue and begin preparations for the Soul Core.

• Qian Renxue offered to help Han Li and invited him to a royal feast, which he gladly accepted.

After dinner with Qian Renxue, Han Li revealed that Tang San was Tang Hao’s son, and Broad Hill chose to exploit the secret rather than kill him immediately. Broad Hill then ordered Han Li to eliminate the talented members of Heaven Dou Second Team, and Han Li agreed.

• On their way back, Broad Hill questioned Han Li’s interest in the Shrek Seven Devils and learned that Tang San and Xiao Wu had concealed their abilities from Spirit Hall.
• Broad Hill connected Tang San’s surname and Blue Silver Grass martial soul to Bibi Dong, then learned from Han Li that Tang San was Tang Hao’s son.
• Han Li urged Broad Hill to leave Tang Hao’s fate to Qian Renxue, while Broad Hill vowed to reach rank ninety-nine within a year.
• Broad Hill speculated that Tang San had Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast blood and decided to let Tang Hao raise him before using him against the Clear Sky Sect.
• After recalling the powerful figures associated with Heaven Dou Second Team, Broad Hill ordered Han Li to kill them, and Han Li agreed.

Han Li helped Azure Luan condense a Soul Core by exploiting the rules of sacrifice, and the process succeeded at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. As Azure Luan recovered, Han Li began considering using the same method to help Ning Fengzhi break through rank eighty.
