• The mysterious cultivator’s fog contracted and expanded, and a clear voice demanded to know who was spying.

Lin Yi encountered the mysterious Extreme Poison Soul Master Du Luoyan, then continued his travels and drove Evil Soul Masters into hiding, helping curb their crimes across the continent. Meanwhile, the Holy Cult's leaders discussed shifting their stalled plans to Sun Moon territory, and a month later Lin Yi secretly followed a familiar figure who was stopped by several people.

• A month later, Lin Yi followed a familiar figure in secret, remembered who they were, and saw several people block their path just as he was about to greet them.

Lin Yi intervened when he saw Du Luoyan cornered, but discovered that the Sun Moon Empire Soul Engineers had been targeting him all along. Their sealing Soul Tool trapped him and Du Luoyan together, and Du Luoyan began to act after Lin Yi promised to protect her.

• Lin Yi recognized Du Luoyan and killed the Evil Soul Master leading the group with a lightning-and-light attack.
• Lin Yi realized the four remaining enemies were Sun Moon Empire Soul Engineers: one Soul Douluo and three Soul Saints, all equipped with Rank 7 Soul Tools.
• The Soul Engineers identified Lin Yi as their mission target and attacked while Lin Yi urged Du Luoyan to escape.
• Lin Yi evaded their attacks with Lightning Charge, but the Soul Douluo activated a sealing Soul Tool that trapped Lin Yi and Du Luoyan inside a one-kilometer barrier.
• Lin Yi refused to abandon Du Luoyan and promised to protect her, but she replied that she did not need his protection and called, “Jade Poison Dragon, possess me.”

Du Luoyan trapped Lin Yi and four Sun Moon Soul Engineers in a sealed area, where her Poison Dragon Pool wounded them before their cannon shells blasted her unconscious and badly injured Lin Yi. Lin Yi rescued Du Luoyan with Earth Escape and sent Wood Clones to hold off the Soul Engineers, leaving them bewildered as a pitch-black door appeared from the ground.

• Du Luoyan revealed her six-ring Soul Emperor strength and unleashed Extreme Poison, turning the sealed area into Poison Dragon Pool and forming several poison dragons.
• The four Sun Moon Soul Engineers used three Level 6 Fixed Soul Cannon Shells, blasting away the poison and leaving Du Luoyan unconscious and Lin Yi severely injured.

• The Soul Engineers destroyed Lin Yi's clones one by one, only to discover that none of them was Lin Yi's true body.
• A pitch-black door silently emerged from the ground as the four Soul Engineers searched for Lin Yi and Du Luoyan.

Lin Yi used the Undead Demi-Plane inherited from Electrolux to summon light-based Undead Creatures against the four Sun Moon attackers and tested their strength. He activated his Golden Domain to enhance them, and their auras surged.

• Lin Yi opened a portal to the Undead Demi-Plane and summoned hordes of Undead Creatures to confront the Soul Douluo and three Soul Saints from Sun Moon.
• The Soul Douluo accused Lin Yi of being an Evil Soul Master and threatened to expose him, but Lin Yi pointed out that no one would believe the charge.
• Lin Yi revealed that Electrolux had left him an incomplete plane filled with Undead Creatures whose soul fires could return and recover after being destroyed.
• The Sun Moon attackers overwhelmed the summoned Undead Creatures, letting Lin Yi assess their strength before he considered summoning a different race.
• Lin Yi activated his Golden Domain across the battlefield, and the Undead Creatures' auras surged.

Lin Yi overwhelmed four assassins from the Sun Moon Empire with Extreme Light Undead Creatures and a Bone Dragon, then stopped Du Luoyan’s Extreme Poison from immediately killing her. He left the battle victorious but realized Du Luoyan’s life force was nearly exhausted and took her somewhere safe for treatment.

• Lin Yi amplified his Undead Creatures into Extreme Light and reinforced them with more summons, turning the fight against the four Sun Moon Empire attackers.
• The attackers planned to capture an Undead Creature as evidence and blame Shrek Academy, but Lin Yi overheard them and moved the weaker skeletons out of reach.
• Lin Yi discovered Du Luoyan suffering a fatal backlash from her own Extreme Poison and used Extreme Light and Extreme Life to suppress it, though her origin had already dissipated.
• Lin Yi summoned a Bone Dragon, causing the Soul Douluo and three Soul Saints to flee; the Bone Dragon killed all four as they escaped.
• Lin Yi recalled the Undead Creatures, collected the spoils, and brought the temporarily stabilized Du Luoyan to a safe place for further treatment.

Lin Yi treated Du Luoyan after she collapsed, and she woke to find that his Extreme Light and Extreme Life had eased her suffering. Over a meal, she revealed the Jade Scale Snake lineage’s history and explained that she was its last survivor, leaving Lin Yi to face the depth of her despair.

• Lin Yi spent more than a day using Extreme Light, Extreme Life, and Spirit Gold to treat Du Luoyan, then waited for her to wake.
• Du Luoyan woke after three days, thanked Lin Yi for saving her, and ate the meal he had prepared.
• When Lin Yi asked about her failing health, Du Luoyan told him she was descended from Poison Douluo, Dugu Bo.
• Du Luoyan explained how the Jade Scale Snake lineage’s poison backlash, dwindling numbers, and loss of protection had brought it to the brink of extinction.
• Du Luoyan said her Martial Soul had awakened as the Jade Poison Dragon with Extreme Poison, her parents had died drawing the poison from her, and she was now the lineage’s sole survivor who no longer thought she could endure.

Lin Yi learned that Du Luoyan had survived her Extreme Poison by devouring human souls through a method supplied by the Holy Spirit Cult. After Du Luoyan refused his offer of another life, Lin Yi ended her suffering, buried her, and set out to make the Holy Spirit Cult pay.

• Lin Yi and Du Luoyan spent a month living together in the forest as her Extreme Poison consumed the last of her Origin Life Force.
• Du Luoyan revealed that she had joined the Holy Spirit Cult and used its Soul Devouring Method, which required a hundred human souls each time, to survive the poison's backlash.

• Du Luoyan refused Lin Yi's chance to live again, and Lin Yi killed her painlessly at her request.
• Lin Yi buried Du Luoyan beneath their cottage, took the storage ring, and left to hunt down the Holy Spirit Cult.

After slaughtering nearly a thousand Evil Soul Masters, Lin Yi remained troubled by Du Luoyan’s death and searched her belongings for answers. Her letter revealed a possible way to investigate the Jade Scale Snake lineage’s poison backlash, so Lin Yi headed for Sunset Forest.

• Lin Yi hunted Evil Soul Masters across the Three Kingdoms of Douluo for one hundred days, killing nearly a thousand and driving the rest into hiding.
• Lin Yi asked the God of Light and Electrolux to resolve his doubts about Du Luoyan, but they told him to find his own answer.
• Lin Yi read Du Luoyan’s intelligence on the powerful Holy Spirit Cult and discovered its leaders and organization posed a serious threat.
• Lin Yi opened Du Luoyan’s box and found her poisonous natal bead, then read her letter explaining how she had first revealed his whereabouts to the cult.
• Du Luoyan’s letter said Sunset Forest might hold clues to the Jade Scale Snake lineage’s poison backlash and mentioned the warning, “Do not approach the sea.”
• Lin Yi stored the poison bead and letter in a new Storage Soul Tool and set off for Sunset Forest.

Lin Yi entered Sunset Forest to investigate its ruin and the reaction of Du Luoyan’s poison pearl. He encountered two powerful Fierce Spirits, who introduced themselves as Yu Tianheng and Dugu Yan and asked where the pearl came from.

• Lin Yi spent seven days harmonizing his Life, Radiance, and Thunder attributes while traveling to Sunset Forest.
• Lin Yi sensed that the forest’s poisoned, dying ecosystem and countless vengeful Soul Beast spirits had resulted from a man-made disaster.
• Lin Yi entered Sunset Forest with Du Luoyan’s poison pearl and used its reactions to guide him deeper into the poisonous barrier.
• Lin Yi followed the pearl’s strongest reaction even after the poisonous barrier’s density suggested he was moving away from the forest’s core.
• Two Fierce Spirits confronted Lin Yi and asked where he had obtained the poison pearl.
• The male Fierce Spirit introduced himself as Yu Tianheng and identified the female Fierce Spirit beside him as his wife, Dugu Yan.

Lin Yi learned how Tang San killed Yu Tianheng and Dugu Yan, exploited the Jade Scale Snake lineage, and left the couple as Fierce Spirits guarding the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. After they agreed to help him oppose Tang San, they opened a path through the poisonous barrier, and Lin Yi entered the valley.

• Lin Yi explained that his deceased friend had been the Jade Scale Snake lineage’s last descendant, prompting Yu Tianheng and Dugu Yan to reveal their grief over the lineage’s extinction.
• Dugu Yan recounted how Tang San used her grandfather’s remains to cultivate Jade Scale Seven Absolute Flowers, then killed her when she confronted him.
• Yu Tianheng explained that Tang San killed him too and that, over ten thousand years, the couple watched Jade Scale Snake descendants be brought to the valley until the lineage died out.
• Lin Yi vowed to make Tang San pay, and Yu Tianheng and Dugu Yan agreed to help him reach the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and its matured Immortal Herbs.
• Dugu Yan and Yu Tianheng split the poisonous barrier, allowing Lin Yi to enter the valley as a faint glimmer flashed over him and the God of Light noticed it.

Lin Yi entered the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, where the Plane Will concealed him from Tang San at the cost of shortening its own remaining time. After suppressing the valley’s plant Soul Beasts with the Golden Tree, Lin Yi met the intelligent Aromatic Silk Beauty Youyou, learned Tang San had left a book in her care, and declared that he would take the Immortal Herbs he wanted by force.

• The God of Light told Lin Yi that Tang San’s Divine Sense might descend, but the Plane Will hid Lin Yi’s presence and weakened itself in doing so.
• Lin Yi purified his way through the poisonous miasma, used the Golden Tree to subdue attacking vines, and reached the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
• Lin Yi recognized the Aromatic Silk Beauty and spoke with Youyou, who revealed that she had guarded Tang San’s book for ten thousand years for one of his descendants.
• Lin Yi asked Youyou to introduce the Immortal Herbs so he could eat them, but Youyou objected to sacrificing the plants.
• Lin Yi unleashed his killing intent and the Golden Tree’s full pressure, forcing the valley’s plants to submit as he stood like a sovereign.

Lin Yi negotiated with the immortal herbs at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and passed their trials, gaining a breakthrough in his Phantom Eye and spiritual power. While he cultivated Extreme Snow in the Extreme Cold Ice Spring, he sensed an unusual force of attraction from the lakebed.

• Lin Yi's pressure alarmed the immortal herbs, and Aromatic Silk Beauty and Qiluo decided to offer him a trial rather than risk fighting him.
• Lin Yi pushed for better terms, then accepted the trial after the immortal herbs agreed to let him choose herbs if he passed.
• Lin Yi drank the dew from an unknown immortal herb, passed the character trial, and awakened Phantom Dream as his first Hundred-Thousand-Year External Soul Bone while his spiritual power improved.
• Aromatic Silk Beauty set Lin Yi's strength trial as enduring half an hour in the Extreme Cold Ice Spring, and Lin Yi entered the water to cultivate Extreme Snow.
• Lin Yi sensed a strange force of attraction coming from the lakebed.

Lin Yi descended into the Extreme Cold Ice Spring in search of an opportunity but nearly froze before Snow Empress arrived and taught him to better control Extreme Snow. A mysterious Spirit Body then transported them to a blue realm, where they encountered a gigantic blue dragon and a woman in blue robes.

• Lin Yi plunged deeper into the Extreme Cold Ice Spring, while Youyou and Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass worried about him and Infernal Delicate Apricot mocked his recklessness.
• As the cold overwhelmed him, Lin Yi decided to retreat, but Snow Empress sensed his danger and sent her power and consciousness to protect him.
• Snow Empress manifested a doppelganger, shielded Lin Yi from the cold, and taught him that Extreme Snow, Extreme Ice, and frozen water all depended on controlling temperature.
• A Spirit Body tens of thousands of meters below noticed Lin Yi and Snow Empress and used an invisible ripple to transport them to a blue world.
• Lin Yi and Snow Empress found a gigantic blue dragon and a beautiful woman in blue robes watching them.

Lin Yi and Snow Empress encountered the Water Dragon King, who accepted Snow Empress as her disciple and gave her the Water Inheritance.

• Lin Yi and Snow Empress met the Water Dragon King, and the God of Light recognized her as one of the Nine Dragon Kings of old.
• The Water Dragon King offered Snow Empress her Water Inheritance, and Snow Empress accepted her as Master.
• The Water Dragon King sent the inheritance to Snow Empress's true body and told her to focus on understanding it.
• The God of Light explained that the God Realm Iron Rule forbade Soul Beasts from becoming gods, enraging the Water Dragon King, who froze Lin Yi and the surrounding time.
• Lin Yi recovered and learned that the Water Dragon King planned to become his Soul Ring, then agreed after the God of Light confirmed their arrangement.

Lin Yi absorbed a God-Tier Soul Ring formed by the Water Dragon King and Fire Dragon King, reaching Soul King and gaining purple dragon wings and a God-tier External Soul Bone. He left the seven-day absorption at Level 56, with the Immortal Herbs of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well awaiting him.

• The Fire Dragon King arrived as the Water Dragon King prepared to become Lin Yi's Soul Ring and chose to join her, despite the risk their Fire Attribute posed to Lin Yi.
• The two Dragon Kings fused their water and fire powers into a purple-gold God-Tier Soul Ring, while the Immortal Herbs bowed to their Dragon Might.
• The Dragon Kings gathered two streams of light from their corpses, fused them into purple light, and sent it into Lin Yi.
• After seven days, Lin Yi completed the absorption, summoned his Golden Tree Spirit, and reached Soul King at age fifteen with five Soul Rings.
• Lin Yi discovered purple dragon wings on his back, a God-tier External Soul Bone, and Soul Power Level 56.
• Lin Yi considered the Immortal Herbs in the valley and concluded he could consume some of them to reach Level 60.
