Chapter Summaries

Tang San used the World Tree Seed’s Life Origin Qi to attack the Blood Sacrifice Formation’s Stone Pillar while Tang Hao suppressed the Skeleton Elder and the altar. Tang San blocked the altar’s destructive energy, but the Seven-Colored Light Ball cracked and began releasing life energy mixed with death qi as the World Tree Seed urged him to act.

• Tang Hao used Momentum Suppression to restrain the Skeleton Elder and slow the altar’s collapse.
• Tang San approached the pitch-black Stone Pillar and combined his Blue Silver Emperor Origin with Life Origin Qi from the World Tree Seed.
• Tang San pressed his power against a rune node, purifying the Stone Pillar while enduring a violent backlash.
• Tang Hao concentrated his suppression on the Skeleton Elder and altar as Tang San fought to keep the energy contained.
• The Stone Pillar’s collapse spread and blocked the destructive energy from detonating the entire altar.
• The Seven-Colored Light Ball cracked, releasing life energy mixed with death qi, and the World Tree Seed sent Tang San an urgent command.

Tang San used the World Tree Seed to purify the contaminated energy destabilizing the Seven-Colored Light Ball, defeating the crisis in the Cave Hall. He left with Tang Hao and Xiao Wu, carrying the sealed light ball as the journey toward the Valley of Fallen Gods continued.

• Tang San guided the leaking energy toward himself, and the World Tree Seed stripped away the Death Qi and absorbed the purified Life Energy.
• As the Seed absorbed energy, the Seven-Colored Light Ball stabilized, the Stone Pillar weakened and collapsed, and the Skeleton Elder crumbled to ash.
• Tang Hao supported the injured Tang San, while Xiao Wu held his hand; Tang San sensed that the World Tree Seed's awakening had reached about 0.1%.
• The Netherworld Cult survivors and other Soul Masters left the Cave Hall, and Tang San decided to take the still-contaminated Seven-Colored Light Ball with them.
• Tang San sealed the light ball in a box of Blue Silver Emperor Vines and stored it separately from the dormant World Tree Seed in the Twenty-Four Bridges Bright Moon Night.
• Tang San, Tang Hao, and Xiao Wu left the Cave Hall and returned to the White Bone Wasteland, where Tang San looked toward the Valley of Fallen Gods.

After the World Tree Seed absorbed Life Energy, it began forming a third energy core in Tang San’s Dantian alongside his Internal Force and Soul Power cores. Tang San tested its nourishing effects and kept the discovery from Xiao Wu, planning to investigate further before telling Tang Hao.

• The World Tree Seed pulsed within Tang San, sending Life Energy through his body and drawing it toward his Dantian.
• A small emerald vortex formed beside Tang San’s Internal Force and Soul Power vortices, and he learned that it was an embryonic Life Origin Core connected to the World Tree Seed.
• Tang San returned to Burial God Town with Xiao Wu and decided not to tell her about the new core, intending to investigate it before speaking privately with Tang Hao.
• Tang San examined the three energy vortices and found that the Life Origin Energy strengthened his injured meridians, Soul Power, and Internal Force without causing conflict.

Tang San stabilized his new Life Origin Core and, with Tang Hao and Xiao Wu, set out for the Valley of Fallen Gods despite rumors of a powerful Undead Monarch. On the perilous mountain route, he used the core to recover and strengthen his abilities as battles helped it grow.

• Tang San discovered that he could charge the Life Origin Core, use it to purify Death Qi, and nourish the World Tree Seed in return.
• Tang Hao warned Tang San to cultivate carefully and keep the Third Core's abilities secret after confirming it was stable and compatible.
• After seven days of cultivation, Tang San stabilized at the peak of Level 42, and the group left Burial God Town for the Valley of Fallen Gods.
• The group faced steep terrain, oppressive Death Qi, and stronger Undead Creatures, including Wailing Banshees, Shadow Walkers, and Abominations.
• Tang San found that intense battles strengthened the Life Origin Core and experimented with using its energy to improve his vines, Judgment Spear, and Heart of Nature Domain.

• The World Tree Seed released Life Origin during Tang San's cultivation, helping him break through to the middle of level 43 and strengthening his other abilities.
• After resting overnight, Tang San, Xiao Wu, and Tang Hao entered the Valley of Fallen Gods at dawn.

Tang San, Tang Hao, and Xiao Wu braved the Gray Mist and fought the valley’s soul-attacking Undead as they pressed toward the World Tree Seed’s call. They reached a point where the seed’s destination lay several miles ahead, beneath a field of death, resentment, and mad divinity.

• Tang Hao led Tang San and Xiao Wu into the Gray Mist with an Exotic Treasure oil lamp, while Tang San used his Heart of Nature Domain to shield them.
• Wailing Banshees attacked with Soul Shriek, but Tang Hao’s lamp and Earth Splitting Slash weakened them and drove off the survivors.
• The group fended off Shadow Walkers and other valley hazards as Tang San used the Purple Demon Eye, Life Perception, and Blue Silver Emperor Vines to protect them.
• Tang Hao fought a Thousand Bone Skeleton Worm while Tang San and Xiao Wu controlled its movements and cleared the Skeleton Soldiers, and Tang Hao destroyed the monster with Raging Earth Tide.
• After recovering briefly, the three continued deeper into the valley, where Tang San sensed the World Tree Seed calling from several miles ahead amid a terrifying field of death, resentment, and mad divinity.

Tang San, Tang Hao, and Xiao Wu found a hidden cave containing a seven-colored crystal sought by the World Tree Seed, guarded by eight Titled Douluo-level skeletons and a mysterious occupant in a crystal coffin. Tang San identified the guards’ connection to an ancient formation and considered a half-buried side door as a possible way forward.

• Tang San spotted an unusual flow of mist near the cliff and led the group through a hidden fissure in the ruins.
• The fissure opened into a vast cave where the group saw a crystal coffin, a pure seven-colored crystal, and eight White Jade Skeleton Guards.
• The World Tree Seed pulsed with a strong desire for the crystal, while the coffin’s occupant exerted a powerful, ominous pressure.
• Tang San observed that the skeletons were positioned in an ancient formation and drew energy from the cave and altar.
• Tang San warned Tang Hao and Xiao Wu that confronting the guards could awaken the coffin’s occupant, and Tang Hao asked how they should proceed.

Tang San, Xiao Wu, and Tang Hao coordinated a plan to distract the White Jade Skeleton Guards and disrupt their energy supply so Tang San could seize the Seven-Colored Water Droplet Crystal. He reached the crystal, but the Crystal Coffin awakened, empowering the guards and leaving Tang San trapped beneath their combined attack as the coffin began to open.

• Tang Hao drew the guards' attention by striking a cavern stalactite, while Tang San raced toward the Side Door and Xiao Wu distracted the guards from another corner.
• Tang San fired Soul Power Interference Bombs into the cavern's Undead Energy seepage points, briefly weakening the guards and destabilizing their energy links.
• Tang Hao charged the guards to hold them back as Tang San turned from the Side Door and rushed to the altar.
• Tang San touched the Seven-Colored Water Droplet Crystal, which began merging into him, but the Crystal Coffin suddenly lit up and released a powerful pressure.
• The guards regained their strength and attacked Tang San with eight full-force strikes as the Crystal Coffin slowly opened and emitted profound Death Qi.

Tang Hao saved Tang San from the eight White Jade Skeleton Guards by revealing the overwhelming force of his Clear Sky Hammer True Intent. After Tang San stored the Seven-Colored Water Droplet Crystal beside the World Tree Seed, the coffin opened and a powerful, godlike being emerged, fixing its attention on the treasures within Tang San.

• The eight White Jade Skeleton Guards unleashed a combined attack, and Tang San tried to defend himself with his domain, Mysterious Jade Hand, and Blue Silver Emperor vines.
• Tang Hao abandoned his restraint and erased the guards' combined attack with his Clear Sky Hammer True Intent.
• Tang San stored the Seven-Colored Water Droplet Crystal beside the World Tree Seed in Twenty-Four Bridges Bright Moon Night.
• The Crystal Coffin's lid flew away, and a dark, powerful figure rose from the coffin as the eight guards knelt before him.
• Tang Hao shielded Tang San while the being turned its attention toward the World Tree Seed and the Seven-Colored Water Droplet Crystal.

Tang Hao and Tang San fought the Jade Coffin Entity after it tried to seize the World Tree Seed. As they fled through a Side Door, the seed awakened a symbol on a broken stele, and an ancient Dragon's Roar briefly halted their pursuers before they escaped downstairs.

• The Jade Coffin Entity tried to pull the World Tree Seed and Seven-Colored Crystal from Tang San's storage tool, and Tang Hao revealed his nine Soul Rings and used Clear Sky Nine Absolutes—Shock to disrupt its suction.
• The Jade Coffin Entity summoned Death Qi and the eight White Jade Skeleton Guards to attack Tang Hao and Tang San.
• Tang San provoked the Jade Coffin Entity with the World Tree Seed and told Tang Hao to lure it toward the half-open Side Door.
• Tang Hao shielded Tang San as they charged for the Side Door, but the Jade Coffin Entity teleported behind them and aimed a fatal palm at Tang San.
• The World Tree Seed emitted Emerald Green Light that illuminated a matching symbol on a broken stele, and an ancient Dragon's Roar from the stairs disrupted the attacks and startled the Jade Coffin Entity.
• Tang Hao seized the opening and carried Tang San through the Side Door.

Tang Hao and Tang San took refuge inside the Dragon Slumber Passage, where the stele’s light held the Jade Coffin Entity and his undead at bay. The Netherworld Cult Elder and two followers barged in, provoking the undead and leaving Tang Hao to decide how to proceed with the unwanted burden.

• Tang Hao and Tang San faced the Jade Coffin Entity from behind the stele’s boundary, and Tang San explained that the World Tree Seed had reacted to the stele and Dragon’s Roar.
• The Jade Coffin Entity offered to let Tang Hao and Tang San leave with the girl if they surrendered the seed and Origin Crystal, but Tang Hao refused.
• The Netherworld Cult Elder and three remaining cultists fled to the Side Door, and the elder rang a black bell that enraged the undead.
• The Jade Coffin Entity shot a Death Ray at the Netherworld Cult Elder, who used a cultist as a shield before the beam wounded his shoulder.
• The elder and two wounded cultists reached the stele’s protection, where the Death Ray faded, leaving Tang Hao and Tang San to confront the dangers of exploring with the intruders inside.

Tang Hao and Tang San were forced deeper into the Dragon Slumbering Place as the Jade Coffin Entity prepared to destroy their shelter. They found the Soul Suppressing Sacred Dragon’s remains and Dragon Pearl, but dark patterns were slowly corrupting the chamber.

• Yin Jiuyou begged Tang Hao for mercy and offered to guide the group deeper into the passage.
• The Jade Coffin Entity gathered a powerful Death Qi attack and threatened to destroy the shelter unless Tang San surrendered the World Tree Seed and Origin Crystal.
• Yin Jiuyou burned his origin and used the Soul Purifying Ancient Lamp to temporarily block the entrance, claiming the passage might hold a way to resist the Undead.
• Tang San questioned Yin Jiuyou’s account, and Yin Jiuyou said the passage might contain the Soul Suppressing Dragon Pearl or Sacred Dragon Flame.
• Tang Hao led the group into a circular Stone Chamber, where they found the Soul Suppressing Sacred Dragon’s remains and its Dragon Pearl.
• The group saw dark red patterns around the Sacred Dragon Skeleton that were slowly eroding the bones and reaching toward the Dragon Pearl’s light.

Tang San learned that the masked Old Man had used an undead array to corrupt the Sacred Dragon Remains and seize the Dragon Pearl, and that a Blood Contract Trial might offer a way to survive. With the Jade Coffin Entity breaking through the entrance seal, Tang San chose to attempt the trial while Tang Hao watched the others for interference.

• A wounded researcher from the Archaeological Team emerged and revealed that the masked Old Man had sacrificed team members to weaken the Dragon Pearl’s seal and claim the Sacred Dragon’s power.
• The researcher explained that a successor with a pure soul and compatible life essence might establish a Blood Contract with the Dragon Pearl and gain control of the Land of Dragon Sleep.
• The Jade Coffin Entity battered the sealing barrier as Tang San considered the trial’s risks and sensed no warning from the World Tree Seed.
• Tang San decided to attempt the Blood Contract, and Tang Hao readied himself to protect him while Yin Jiuyou eyed the Dragon Pearl with concealed greed.

Tang San awakened the Sacred Dragon’s lingering mark and was offered power and authority in exchange for an oath to defend the Land of Dragon Sleep and purge evil. With the Jade Coffin Entity attacking outside, he swore to uphold the Sacred Dragon’s will.

• Tang San cut his palm and let his blood awaken the dragon patterns on the stele, summoning the Sacred Dragon’s Dragon Shadow.
• The Dragon Shadow explained that Tang San’s blood and the World Tree Seed’s aura resonated with its legacy, then offered power and a route out in exchange for a binding oath.
• Tang San considered the responsibility, received the support of Tang Hao and Xiao Wu, and weighed the danger as the Jade Coffin Entity battered the entrance.
• Tang San swore to protect the Land of Dragon Sleep from corruption and, if able, eradicate the evil spirits in the Valley of Fallen Gods.

Tang San completed a blood contract with Dragon Shadow and began receiving the Sacred Dragon inheritance, but Yin Jiuyou and the researcher launched a coordinated attack. Tang Hao killed Yin Jiuyou while Xiao Wu countered the Netherworld Cultists, and the clash remained underway.

• Dragon Shadow merged with Tang San, and the Soul Suppressing Dragon Pearl linked to his Life Origin Core as the inheritance began.
• Yin Jiuyou attacked Tang San with a Death Qi blood arrow and hurled the broken Soul Purifying Ancient Lamp at the dragon pearl while the researcher activated the Blood Corrosive Foul Array.
• Two Netherworld Cultists lunged at Xiao Wu with poisoned daggers as Tang San warned her to watch out.
• Tang Hao destroyed Yin Jiuyou's blood arrow with Clear Sky Hammer Intent and killed him with a blow that crushed his chest.
• Xiao Wu used Charm and Teleportation to evade the cultists, then struck one with her Waist Bow.

Tang San completed the Sacred Dragon inheritance as Tang Hao and Xiao Wu killed the traitors and the Dragon Pearl purified the Blood Corrosive Foul Array. The three entered the Dragon Vein Rift to escape the Valley of Fallen Gods, but the journey through its unstable currents remained perilous.

• Xiao Wu killed the two cultists while Tang Hao killed Yin Jiuyou.

• Tang Hao protected Tang San and Xiao Wu from the turbulent Earth Vein Energy while Tang San guided them through the rift.

Tang San, Tang Hao, and Xiao Wu were attacked by an evil creature in a polluted Dragon Vein Rift, and Tang Hao struggled to protect them as the exit was sealed. Tang San discovered that the World Tree Seed could absorb the remaining pure earth vein essence, but the seed warned that trying it in their dangerous situation carried great risks.

• Tang San and Tang Hao sensed that the Dragon Vein Rift had been corrupted by death qi and hurried toward an exit.
• An evil dragon remnant or polluted Earth Vein Spirit attacked them with death-qi snakes, and Tang Hao struck it with his Clear Sky Hammer Intent.
• The wounded creature blocked the exit and unleashed a flood of attacks, forcing Tang Hao to shield Tang San and Xiao Wu with a Dark Light Domain.
• Tang San found that the World Tree Seed felt sorrow, anger, longing, and greed toward the polluted earth vein energy.
• The World Tree Seed revealed it could absorb the remaining pure earth vein origin to repair itself, but warned that the attempt was extremely dangerous in their current surroundings.

Tang San used the World Tree Seed to extract a trace of Earth Vein Origin from the evil creature, disrupting its attack and giving Tang Hao a chance to lead them out of the Dragon Vein Rift. The three escaped into a safe valley, where they rested and began recovering.

• Tang San guided the World Tree Seed to strike the evil creature and draw in a small amount of Earth Vein Origin.
• The wounded creature's attacks faltered, and Tang Hao led Tang San and Xiao Wu toward the Rift's exit.

• Tang San chose Heaven Dou City as their next destination, and Tang Hao resumed his disguise as the silent guard Tang Tie.
• Tang San, Tang Hao, and Xiao Wu used the Map and their connections to the Sacred Dragon Mark and World Tree Seed to set their direction and leave the valley.

After nearly a year of secluded cultivation in Heaven Dou City, Tang San reached the level 50 Soul King threshold and prepared to search Sunset Forest for his Fifth Soul Ring and clues to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye. He left with Tang Hao and Xiao Wu, and they began exploring the forest’s depths.

• Tang San advanced from level 43 to the level 50 threshold over nearly a year, while Xiao Wu reached level 43 with a fourth Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring.
• Tang San told Tang Hao and Xiao Wu he planned to seek a powerful Plant Spirit Beast for his Fifth Soul Ring and investigate the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye, which he believed Dugu Bo occupied.
• Tang Hao agreed to accompany Tang San, and Xiao Wu joined them; they planned to avoid confronting Dugu Bo unless necessary.
