Chapter Summaries

Rhine taunted Yu Xiaoheng for returning to save Shui Yun'er and Shui Lingxi, but Yu Xiaoheng stayed calm and released his Golden Sacred Dragon as its power built.

• Rhine grew increasingly uneasy, clutched his head, and shouted for Yu Xiaoheng to stop playing dead and come out.

Yu Xiaoheng survived the Heavenly Punishment Purple Fire by using Rhine’s stolen Nine Heavens and Ten Earths Array Fragment to begin absorbing its Soul Ring. As Rhine and the Evil Soul Masters charged, Yu Xiaoheng told Shui Yun'er and Shui Lingxi he did not regret saving them, then revealed the name of his Martial Soul.

As their life force flowed into him and healed his ruined body, he stood at the center of the storm, transformed by their power.

Yu Xiaoheng reassured the rescued Soul Masters and sailed home with the fleet, enduring the backlash from Heavenly Punishment Purple Fire. More than a month later, Lei Ming and the Blue Electric Guard were ambushed near Star Dou Great Forest by masked attackers from Clear Sky Sect, Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, and the empires, leaving Lei Xiaoyu gravely wounded and two guards dead.

• Yu Xiaoheng promised to bring the survivors home and provide for the families of those who had died.
• Ah Yin learned the fabricated story that Yu Xiaoheng had used a jade token to defeat the Evil Soul Masters and was moved by his apparent sacrifice.

Bibi Dong struggled through the Star Dou Great Forest to find and save Yu Xiaoheng, while Yu Xiaoheng’s group hurried toward a Lightning Attribute clash. The chapter left Bibi Dong fleeing a powerful Spirit Beast and Lei Ming’s surrounded group on the verge of defeat.

• Bibi Dong recalled finding a secret letter about an ambush on Yu Xiaoheng, leaving Spirit City, and sending a warning that apparently had not brought the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan to his aid.
• Exhausted and injured, Bibi Dong encountered a thousand-year Black Wind Tiger, attacked it with her Death Spider Emperor martial soul, and fled after it struck her down.

• Lei Ming, Yu Shan, and Yu Hai were badly wounded as fifteen or sixteen black-clad enemies surrounded them, including two Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda support Soul Masters.

Yu Xiaoheng arrived just as a Clear Sky Sect and Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect coalition was about to kill Lei Ming and the wounded Blue Electric Guard. The attackers recognized Yu Xiaoheng’s extraordinary Spirit Rings and launched a full assault, while Lei Ming begged him to run.

• Yu Shan, Yu Hai, and Lei Ming tried to shield Yu Xiaoheng, but the Soul Power pressure left them barely able to stand; Yu Xiaoheng remained still.

Yu Xiaoheng activated his Heavenly Punishment Form and faced a group of Clear Sky Sect and Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect fighters. His Thunder Echo attack failed to stop their charge, leaving his allies despairing as the enemies advanced.

• Yu Xiaoheng activated his Third Soul Skill, Heavenly Punishment Form, and released the Purple Gold Sacred Dragon as a Heavenly Punishment Sacred Dragon.

• Yu Xiaoheng unleashed a transformed Thunder Echo, sending purple-gold Thunder Fire raining down on the attackers.
• The Clear Sky Sect Soul Kings easily blocked the Thunder Fire and continued their advance as Yu Xiaoheng’s purple-gold light contracted.

Yu Xiaoheng used Heavenly Punishment Fire to block and repel the Clear Sky Sect Soul Kings, burning away the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect’s amplifications and damaging a Martial Soul and Spirit Ring. With the Coalition Army’s experts frightened and backing away, he prepared to attack them.

• Yu Xiaoheng’s Lightning Armor turned into Heavenly Punishment Black Armor as he formed a spear from Heavenly Punishment Fire.

• The Coalition Army experts retreated as Yu Xiaoheng pointed his spear at them and asked whether it was his turn to attack.

Yu Xiaoheng annihilated the Coalition Army’s elite force with Heavenly Punishment Fire, leaving no survivors or evidence behind. Afterward, he secretly ordered Shui Yun'er and Shui Lingxi to kill Lei Ming and the others if they showed signs of contacting the outside world.

• The Coalition Army regrouped and attacked Yu Xiaoheng, but he killed a Clear Sky Sect Soul King and shattered their formation by burning Soul Power through the Purple Fire.
• A Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect Soul Master suffered a backlash through his amplification, and the panicked Coalition Army scattered to flee.
• Yu Xiaoheng transformed Thunder Echo into Heavenly Punishment: Fire Rain and killed the fleeing Soul Masters across the forest’s edge.

• Yu Xiaoheng quietly told Shui Yun'er and Shui Lingxi to kill Lei Ming and the others if they tried to contact the outside world, then softened his expression.

Yu Xiaoheng treated the wounded guards, secured their silence about his powers, and prepared to return with the reinforcements. Then an Elder showed him a handmade purple flower that made him realize Bibi Dong had been nearby.

• Yu Xiaoheng healed Lei Ming and promised the injured guards a peaceful retirement at the clan’s Back Mountain spiritual field.

• Yu Xiaoheng displayed his Spirit Rings to confirm his identity, then ordered everyone to return to the clan.
• An Elder presented Yu Xiaoheng with a crooked cloth flower, and Yu Xiaoheng recognized it as the one he had sent to Bibi Dong.

Yu Xiaoheng found Bibi Dong’s fabric flower but withdrew his force to avoid retaliation from the Clear Sky and Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sects, sending two subordinates to search for and help her. Bibi Dong was trapped in the Star Dou Great Forest, exhausted and injured, with a nearly ten-thousand-year Bloodthirsty Demonic Spider before her.

• Yu Xiaoheng recognized the purple fabric flower as Bibi Dong’s and prepared to search for her.
• A Soul King guard warned Yu Xiaoheng that the deaths of more than thirty Clear Sky and Seven Treasure disciples would bring powerful pursuers to the Star Dou Great Forest.

• Yu Xiaoheng instructed the two subordinates to return the flower and escort Bibi Dong if she was alive, or bury her if she was dead.
• Bibi Dong faced a nearly ten-thousand-year Bloodthirsty Demonic Spider while wounded and out of Soul Power.

Bibi Dong survived the Bloodthirsty Demonic Spider’s attack and recovered the flower left for her, then set off to find Brother Xiaoheng. Meanwhile, Tang Meng, Ning Yuan, Dai Sha, and Xue Kuang intercepted Yu Xiaoheng’s battered Blue Lightning party, and their assault began to take an unexpected turn.

• A lightning strike and Thunderclap Dragon Claw destroyed the Bloodthirsty Demonic Spider, saving Bibi Dong before she lost consciousness.

• Bibi Dong discovered the repaired flower at the cave entrance, sensed Brother Xiaoheng nearby, and followed footprints westward to search for him.
• Tang Meng, Ning Yuan, Dai Sha, and Xue Kuang blocked Yu Xiaoheng and the surviving Blue Lightning Guards in the forest.
• Ning Yuan enhanced the three Soul Douluo, and Tang Meng activated Martial Soul Avatar, but the attackers’ confidence abruptly turned to confusion.

Tang Meng and the other pursuers discovered that the Blue Lightning party’s apparent Yu Xiaoheng was a decoy, while the clan’s guards revealed that Yu Xiaoheng had escaped among seven separated groups. The first pursuers withdrew rather than risk a fight, but another Clear Sky Sect force confronted a decoy and did not back down, leaving Yu Changkong and the Blue Lightning guards in danger.

• Tang Meng’s hammer exposed the supposed Yu Xiaoheng as an impostor, and the Blue Lightning Elder revealed that the party had split into seven routes without knowing which one carried the real Yu Xiaoheng.
• The Blue Lightning Elder and his guards burned their life force and threatened to self-destruct, forcing Tang Meng, Ning Yuan, Dai Sha, and Xue Kuang to reconsider attacking.
• Ning Yuan judged that killing the guards would cost too much, and Tang Meng and the other pursuers withdrew without finding Yu Xiaoheng.
• At another forest edge, a Clear Sky Sect Soul Sage exposed and injured a Blue Lightning decoy while Yu Changkong and the remaining guards prepared to defend themselves.
• The second Blue Lightning Elder challenged the Clear Sky Sect group, but the Soul Sage smirked cruelly instead of retreating.
