Chapter Summaries

Tang San won the Ancient Mysterious Fragment at the Heaven Dou Auction, then stole it amid a chaotic attempt by others to seize it. After escaping, he deciphered clues pointing to a trial ground deep in the Star Dou Great Forest, near the Lake of Life and possibly the Silver Dragon King’s territory.

• Tang San outbid the guest in Box Number One with a final offer of six million and won the Ancient Mysterious Fragment.
• A black shadow and two Soul Saints tried to steal the fragment, while the Spirit Hall elder and the guest in Box Number One attacked them.
• Tang San secretly retrieved the fragment with Blue Silver Emperor Vines and concealed the theft by distorting light and perception.
• Tang San, Tang Hao, and Xiao Wu escaped through a backup passage and disappeared into the East Market crowds of Heaven Dou City.
• Tang San studied the fragment in a concealed chamber and found a damaged star map, a vague direction, and part of an ancient oath.
• Tang San concluded that the fragment pointed toward a possible inheritance trial deep in the Star Dou Great Forest and decided they should go there soon.

Tang San learned that the fragment pointed toward the forbidden core of the Star Dou Great Forest and decided to prepare before venturing there. He and his companions began secluded cultivation in a remote mountain cave as the fragment revealed a clearer map.

• Tang San identified the fragment’s destination as the Star Dou Great Forest’s Core Zone and discussed the dangers, including a possible connection to the Silver Dragon King and the Gate of Eternity.
• Tang San decided to reach Level Eighty, obtain his Eighth Soul Ring, and deepen his Clear Sky Hammer training before entering the Core Zone; Xiao Wu agreed to strengthen herself and recall what she knew of the region.
• Tang Hao led Tang San and Xiao Wu away from their temporary hideout and established a secluded cultivation site in a remote mountain range near Sunset Forest.
• Tang San cultivated his Soul Power and used his Life Aura and Spiritual Power to nurture the fragment, which gradually revealed a clearer Star Map pointing toward the Star Dou Great Forest.
• Tang Hao taught Tang San deeper Clear Sky Hammer arts and sparred with him to instill the Hammer’s true intent.

After nearly half a year of training, Tang San, Xiao Wu, and Tang Hao followed the fragment’s directions into the Star Dou Great Forest in search of the Dragon Abyss. They reached the Core Zone, where Xiao Wu reunited with Er Ming and Da Ming.

• Tang San’s fragment and the World Tree Seed pointed toward a mysterious location in the Star Dou Great Forest, so he, Xiao Wu, and Tang Hao set out to investigate.
• The trio traveled through the forest, using Tang San’s domain and Xiao Wu’s knowledge to avoid powerful Soul Beasts.
• At the boundary of the Core Zone, Xiao Wu explained that the Silent Stream led into the area where Da Ming and Er Ming lived.
• Er Ming rushed through the forest and joyfully greeted Xiao Wu, and Da Ming appeared soon afterward.

Tang San sought permission from Da Ming and Er Ming to enter Dragon Abyss, using an ancient fragment and his unusual Life Aura to show that he had a deeper purpose. Da Ming recognized that Tang San might hold a key to the forest’s ancient secrets, but the group had not yet entered the forbidden region.

• Xiao Wu reunited with Da Ming and Er Ming and introduced Tang San as her important ally.
• Da Ming and Er Ming refused to let Tang San go to Dragon Abyss, warning that it was a forbidden place even they feared.
• Tang San showed them an ancient fragment that resonated with his inheritance and his pursuit of the Life Law.
• Tang San released a powerful Life Aura, and Sky Dream Ice Silkworm urged Da Ming and Er Ming to let him proceed.
• Da Ming explained the dangers and mysteries of Dragon Abyss, then suggested Tang San’s fragment and aura might be a key to the forest’s ancient secrets.

Da Ming and Er Ming escorted Tang San, Tang Hao, and Xiao Wu to the Misty Sea of Time, the outer barrier of Dragon Abyss, and warned them of its dangers. Tang San led the group into the fog, where his domain protected them as they followed a fragment’s guidance, but Tang Hao suddenly sensed danger.

• Da Ming refused to stop Tang San but agreed to guide him and Xiao Wu to the edge of Dragon Abyss.
• Da Ming and Er Ming led Tang San, Tang Hao, and Xiao Wu through the Star Dou Great Forest’s core region to the Misty Sea of Time.
• Da Ming warned that the fog sea distorted space and time and could contain Time-Gap Phantoms, then bid the group farewell.
• Tang San entered the fog first and used his Eternal Dream Heavenly Dream Realm domain to stabilize the space around the three travelers.
• Tang San followed the fragment’s pull through shifting illusions and disorienting sounds while telling Tang Hao and Xiao Wu to stay inside his domain.
• Tang Hao shouted a warning and punched toward the front-left.

Tang San, Tang Hao, and Xiao Wu fought through the Mist Sea and reached Dragon Abyss, where a powerful gatekeeper barred their way. Tang San showed the fragment and declared that he had come bearing an inheritance to seek the Source and fulfill the contract.

• Tang San, Xiao Wu, and Tang Hao defeated attacking Time-Gap Phantoms and pressed deeper into the Mist Sea, following the fragment’s guidance.
• Tang San used his domain and the World Tree Seed to protect the group from a Time Vortex as their strength dwindled.
• The trio broke through the Mist Sea and discovered Dragon Abyss, a vast landscape filled with immense Dragon Might and primal energy.
• A Dragon Horn Figure appeared and ordered the outsiders to leave or be annihilated.
• Tang San revealed the fragment and his life aura, telling the gatekeeper that he had come to seek the Source and fulfill the contract.

Tang San proved his inherited powers to the Dragon Horn Figure and earned permission to attempt the Dragon Abyss Trial. He entered the Time-Tracing Corridor with Tang Hao and Xiao Wu, where the first trial began amid violent temporal turbulence.

• The Dragon Horn Figure recognized Tang San’s Dragon Abyss Contract fragment and demanded proof of his inheritance.
• Tang San revealed the Sacred Dragon Mark, the World Tree Seed Phantom, and the Eternal Star Pupil, convincing the Dragon Horn Figure to verify his qualifications.
• The Dragon Horn Figure explained the three trials and said Tang Hao and Xiao Wu could accompany Tang San only through the first one.
• Tang San accepted the trial and followed the Dragon Horn Figure with Tang Hao and Xiao Wu into the Time-Tracing Corridor.
• Tang San entered the corridor, found himself at the edge of a surging River of Time, and called on his companions to resist the temporal turbulence.

Tang San, Tang Hao, and Xiao Wu searched the Time-Tracing Corridor for Hourglass of Time Shards, overcoming dangerous temporal obstacles and collecting five. A Time Resentment Aggregate then attacked them, and Tang San blocked its first assault before it struck at them again.

• Xiao Wu sensed a pale gold shard, and Tang Hao froze a ghost claw so Tang San could seize it with Grasp of the Void.
• Tang San used the Eternal Star Pupil and the Eternal Dream Heavenly Dream Realm to identify stable time bands and guide the group past temporal hazards.
• Tang San, Tang Hao, and Xiao Wu found and collected four more shards by combining spatial control, brute force, and Xiao Wu’s Charm.
• A Time Resentment Aggregate formed from remnant souls and turbulence appeared with three pale gold shards embedded in its chest.
• Tang San raised a Spiritual Barrier that blocked the monster’s gray-white ripple, but the creature’s next attack began draining his life force and slowing his thoughts.

Tang San, Tang Hao, and Xiao Wu defeated the Time Resentment Aggregate and recovered all ten fragments needed to complete the altar in the Time-Tracing Corridor. After passing the first trial, they returned to Dragon Abyss, where Tang San was given one day to rest before entering the Void Maze alone.

• Tang Hao shattered the Time Resentment Aggregate’s attack while Tang San identified its core and Xiao Wu disrupted its consciousness.
• Tang Hao struck the monster’s chest, allowing Tang San to seize five fragments and collapse the creature.
• Tang San synchronized with the sundial’s cycle, entered the Time Cycle Bubble, and took the final two fragments.
• Tang San placed all ten fragments into the altar, opening a stable passage out of the corridor.
• The Dragon Horn Figure confirmed that the first trial was passed and said the Void Maze would begin after one day of rest, with only Tang San allowed to enter.

Tang San entered the Void Maze, where he had to find the sole path through folded spatial structures without outside help. He began learning the maze’s patterns while fighting its traps and Void Blade Walkers.

• The Dragon Horn Figure explained that the Second Trial tested spatial comprehension and required Tang San to cross the maze alone.
• Tang San entered the maze and used Spiritual Power, Spatial Fluctuation, and Grasp of the Void to explore its layered structures.
• Tang San identified patterns in the Spatial Ripples and improved his control of Grasp of the Void as he probed the maze.
• A Space Trap squeezed the stone slabs around Tang San and pulled him toward a vortex, but he escaped with Grasp of the Void and Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track.
• A Void Blade Walker struck Tang San’s arm, and he began balancing his search for the passage with defense against the maze’s traps and attackers.

Tang San passed the Void Maze and received a Space Crystal that strengthened his understanding of spatial laws. He entered Heart Soul Purgatory, where illusions and doubts aimed at his deepest relationships began to shake his soul.

• Tang San used his spatial insights to cross the final maze, defeat the last Void Blade Walker, and reach the Space Crystal.
• The Space Crystal merged into Tang San, restoring his Spiritual Power and opening a stable passage deeper into Dragon Abyss.
• The Dragon Horn Figure declared the Second Trial passed, warned Tang San about Heart Soul Purgatory, and granted him a day to rest.
• Tang San entered the third trial and resisted illusions of Sacred Soul Village and temptations tied to his past life and ambitions.
• Heart Soul Purgatory drew out the World Tree Seed and unsettled Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, causing cracks in their soul resonance.
• Tang San recognized the trial was amplifying his uncertainty and shared his true beliefs and commitment with the seed and Sky Dream Ice Silkworm.

Tang San passed the third Heart Soul Purgatory trial, gained the Soul Jade Dew, and broke through to Level Eighty-One. The Dragon Horn Figure opened the way to the Dragon Abyss Ruins, where a three-hundred-and-fifty-thousand-year-old Myriad Ancient Evergreen Vine awaited.

• Tang San faced accusations and visions of future disasters in the trial, but his Guardian Mark, bloodline, and allies’ power helped him reaffirm his resolve to protect those he loved.
• Tang San dissolved the illusions, received the Soul Jade Dew, and strengthened his soul and Spiritual Power.
• Tang San’s cultivation surged from the peak of Level Seventy-Seven to Level Eighty-One, bringing him into the ranks of Soul Douluo.
• The Dragon Horn Figure declared Tang San had passed all three trials and warned him not to enter the heart of the Dragon Abyss or disturb the Esteemed Lord’s slumber.
• Tang San thanked the Dragon Horn Figure, reunited with Tang Hao and Xiao Wu, and headed toward the Dragon Abyss Ruins.
• Deep in the ruins, a three-hundred-and-fifty-thousand-year-old Myriad Ancient Evergreen Vine grew beside a life-giving spring.

Tang San accepted Myriad Ancient Evergreen Vine’s sacrifice and reached Rank 88 before returning with Tang Hao and Xiao Wu to Sacred Soul Village. There, he absorbed the Blue Silver Emperor right leg Soul Bone left by Ah Yin, broke through to Rank 90, and prepared to seek his ninth Soul Ring.

• Myriad Ancient Evergreen Vine willingly sacrificed itself to Tang San, granting him an eighth Soul Ring and a right arm Soul Bone while asking him to nourish the Life Spring and the Star Dou Great Forest’s core ley lines in the future.
• Tang San’s Soul Power surged from Rank 81 to Rank 88, and Tang Hao told him it was time to return to Sacred Soul Village for his mother’s final gift.
• Tang San, Tang Hao, and Xiao Wu left the Star Dou Great Forest and returned to the wooden house where Ah Yin had lived.
• Tang Hao unearthed the Hundred Thousand Year Blue Silver Emperor right leg Soul Bone that Ah Yin had left for Tang San.
• Tang San absorbed Ah Yin’s Soul Bone and broke through from Rank 88 to Rank 90, becoming a Quasi-Titled Douluo.
• Tang San knelt toward his mother’s resting place, while his next goal became finding a suitable ninth Soul Ring.

Tang San stabilized his level 90 cultivation and sensed a faint lead toward a sacred, immortal source of life for his Ninth Soul Ring. He returned with Tang Hao and Xiao Wu to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye to prepare the Blue Silver Grass that held Ah Yin’s revival.

• Tang San secluded himself in Sacred Soul Village to refine his Soul Power, integrate his domains and Soul Skills, and master the abilities of his mother's Soul Bone.
• Tang San used the World Tree Seed and Eternal Star Pupil to sense a distant, exalted Life Law signature that seemed to point toward Star Dou Great Forest or the eastern overseas regions.
• Tang San emerged from seclusion with his cultivation stable and told Tang Hao it was time to prepare for his mother.
• Tang San, Tang Hao, and Xiao Wu returned to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye, where Dugu Bo agreed to seal the valley and let them use its environment.
• Tang San placed the Jade Box containing the Blue Silver Grass transformed from Ah Yin’s Life Origin beside the converging springs and began digging a planting pit.

Tang San, Tang Hao, and Xiao Wu crossed the eastern sea to a primitive continent in search of the Sacred Immortal Life Source and Tang San’s final Blue Silver Emperor Soul Ring. They reached land and began cautiously heading toward a Seven-Colored Rosy Light-shrouded Mountain Range at the continent’s center.

• Tang San transplanted the Blue Silver Grass containing Ah Yin’s origin into the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye and promised Tang Hao he would revive her after reaching the Titled Douluo realm.
• Tang Hao and Xiao Wu joined Tang San on his journey east to find the source of the sacred, immortal Life Law and obtain his Ninth Soul Ring.
• The trio crossed the sea for nearly a month, battling Sea Soul Beasts before sighting a distant continent.
• Tang San, Tang Hao, and Xiao Wu found a primitive land with dense Life Aura, powerful Soul Beasts, and scattered native villages.
• Tang San sensed the World Tree Seed pointing toward a Seven-Colored Rosy Light-shrouded Mountain Range and led the group inland while avoiding dangerous territories and tribes.

Tang San discovered the seven-hundred-thousand-year-old Sacred Dome Ancient Tree and sensed that it held power connected to the World Tree Seed within him. After seven days of patiently communicating with it, he received a response as a pillar of white light enveloped him.

• Tang San and his companions reached the Sacred Dome Ancient Tree, whose immense life aura and sacred laws made it the source of the Sun Moon Continent’s life energy.
• Sky Dream Ice Silkworm recognized the tree’s ancient connection to the World Tree and explained that gaining its recognition might help complete the World Tree Seed.
• Tang San chose to seek the tree’s recognition through communication rather than attack it, releasing his Blue Silver Emperor and the World Tree Seed Phantom.
• Tang Hao and Xiao Wu guarded Tang San as he spent seven days sharing his understanding of life, his promise to protect it, and his wish to resurrect his mother.
• The Sacred Dome Ancient Tree trembled and sent down a pillar of soft white light that enveloped Tang San.

The Sacred Dome Ancient Tree willingly gave Tang San its remaining seven hundred thousand years of Cultivation Essence and merged its Laws with the World Tree Seed, transforming them both. Tang San reached Level 95 with a Million Year Ninth Soul Ring and Soul Bone, and set his sights on reviving Ah Yin at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye.

• The Sacred Dome Ancient Tree told Tang San it would sacrifice its remaining essence and divinity to help the World Tree Seed evolve and complete his transformation.
• The World Tree Seed awakened and evolved as the Ancient Tree's energy poured into Tang San, raising his cultivation to Level 92 and giving him sacred purification and immortal traits.
• Tang San's Blue Silver Emperor gained a Chaos-Colored Million Year Ninth Soul Ring and a million-year torso Soul Bone through Resonant Sublimation.
• After the fusion, Tang San's cultivation rose to Level 95, while the World Tree Seed's evolution and the Blue Silver Emperor's Titled path reached fulfillment.
• Tang San bowed to the vanished Sacred Dome Ancient Tree and vowed to return for Ah Yin, confident he could revive her at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye.

Tang San used his Ninth Soul Skill, the World Tree Seed, and the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye to restore Ah Yin’s soul and reshape her into a human body. As her Soul Power began condensing into Soul Rings, the ritual’s final stage remained underway.

• Tang San instructed Tang Hao and Xiao Wu to guard the Spirit Qi around Ah Yin’s Blue Silver Grass.
• Tang San used his Ninth Soul Skill and blood essence to awaken Ah Yin’s soul imprint.
• Tang San drew on the World Tree Seed and Sacred Dome Ancient Tree’s power to reshape Ah Yin’s life origin and form a human body.
• After three hours, Ah Yin’s soul returned to her new body, and her Soul Power began condensing into Soul Rings.

Ah Yin was reborn as a Level 92 Titled Douluo, and her family reunited in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye valley. The family settled there to recover and cultivate as Tang San, Tang Hao, Ah Yin, and Xiao Wu adjusted to their changed circumstances.

• Ah Yin formed nine Soul Rings, reached Level 92, and awakened the Life Blue Silver Emperor Martial Soul.
• Tang Hao's Ninth Soul Ring regained much of its power as Ah Yin's rebirth restored their connection.
• Ah Yin embraced Tang San, then reunited with Tang Hao while Xiao Wu watched; Dugu Bo acknowledged that Tang San had succeeded.
• The family chose to remain in the valley to rest and cultivate, and Dugu Bo gave them the best caves and his bamboo house.
• Ah Yin stabilized her cultivation, Tang San meditated on his new powers and the World Tree Seed, and Tang Hao began healing his old injuries.
• Xiao Wu cultivated until her Soul Power neared Level 60 and she approached the chance to form her Sixth Soul Ring.

Tang San planned to add high-level Soul Rings to his Clear Sky Hammer and chose the Star Dou Great Forest as the family's next destination, with the Sun Moon Continent as a later possibility. After more than half a month of reunion and preparation at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye, Xiao Wu reached Level Sixty and prepared to condense her Sixth Soul Ring under the forest kings’ protection.

• Tang San told Tang Hao and Ah Yin that he wanted Clear Sky Hammer Soul Rings focused on strength, gravity, defense-breaking, and other special abilities, with a minimum age of fifty thousand years and a preference for Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts.
• Tang San proposed returning to the Star Dou Great Forest to help Xiao Wu condense her Sixth Soul Ring and seek information from Da Ming and Er Ming about powerful Soul Beasts.
• Tang San named the Sun Moon Continent as another possible destination because it might hold ancient Soul Beasts beyond a hundred thousand years.
• During the following half-month, Ah Yin helped Dugu Bo tend the Immortal Herbs and used her Life Soul Power to help Tang Hao recover from his injuries.
• Tang San refined his control of Soul Power and deepened his understanding of his Ninth Soul Skill, while the World Tree Seed continued to develop slowly.
• Xiao Wu broke through to Level Sixty, then continued consolidating her foundation before returning to the Star Dou Great Forest.
