Chapter Summaries

A Hu absorbed a Purple Fire Spirit Ring and revealed power far beyond its two-thousand-year limit, prompting Yu Changkong to consider securing a similar ring for their Young Master. As the team continued collecting Purple Fire rings, A Hu’s body and mind were being consumed by the flames, and his killing intent grew.

• Purple Flame streaks vanished into the Far North after A Hu absorbed the ring, and his fourth Spirit Skill melted a small iceberg.
• Yu Changkong speculated that a Purple Fire ring on a dragon-type Spirit Beast could give their Young Master’s third Spirit Skill the power of a fifty- or sixty-thousand-year ring, then sent the sect his report.
• A Hu concealed his worsening condition as the Purple Fire burned away his organs, sustained him with temporary replacements, and intensified his urge to kill his companions.
• Yu Changkong and Man Shi’s team intercepted more purple-robed people and obtained additional Purple Fire Spirit Rings, which several young Soul Masters absorbed.
• Yu Changkong remained focused on finding a powerful Purple Fire ring for their Young Master and dismissed the failure to find Skywater Academy’s team.

Yu Xiaoheng discovered that killing enemies let his Heart Protecting Dragon Ribs and Golden Sacred Dragon Martial Soul gain resistance to their attributes, while he continued working with Lei Ming’s guard squad. After learning that the Clear Sky Sect and Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had allied with both empires to destroy Blue Lightning’s forces outside the clan, he used Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew to sharpen his vision and prepared to grow stronger before striking back.

• Yu Xiaoheng found that killing enemies granted him a small amount of resistance to their Martial Soul attributes.
• Yu Xiaoheng grew closer to Lei Ming, Yu Shan, and Yu Hai during missions, and recognized the clan’s hopes invested in him.
• Lei Ming told two Soul Elders that the Clear Sky Sect and Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had allied with Heaven Dou and Star Luo to devastate Blue Lightning’s forces outside the clan.
• Yu Xiaoheng judged that he could not safely defeat an enemy Soul Ancestor boosted by a Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Soul Master, so he resolved to endure until he grew stronger.
• Yu Xiaoheng used Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew on his eyes to improve his vision and prepare to spot enemy squads early.
• Yu Xiaoheng suddenly sensed that something was wrong after using the immortal dew.

Yu Xiaoheng spotted a vast group of Purple Fire Evil Soul Masters and led Lei Ming’s squad in an attempt to escape. The group was trapped between the cultists’ forces, leaving them facing four Soul Ancestors and a horde of enemies.

• Yu Xiaoheng recognized the forest’s flickering Purple Flames as the sign of Evil Soul Masters and decided his squad should flee rather than fight.

Yu Xiaoheng activated his Thunder Armor and slaughtered the Evil Soul Masters who had charged him, overcoming their Purple Fire and thwarting their attempts to self-destruct. He continued to face the remaining enemies cautiously, leaving the battle still underway.

• Four Evil Soul Master Soul Ancestors charged Yu Xiaoheng, but he summoned his Golden Sacred Dragon and activated Dragon God Incarnation to form his Thunder Armor.

• Several Soul Elders began to self-destruct, but Yu Xiaoheng struck them down before they could complete the attempt.
• Yu Xiaoheng continued countering the Evil Soul Masters' attacks, ensuring their Purple Fire could not reach him.

While Lei Ming and the others inspected the battlefield, energized Purple Crystal Balls broke free and shot toward Yu Xiaoheng.

• Yu Xiaoheng killed the Evil Soul Masters in twelve seconds, leaving Lei Ming and the others unable to keep up.
• The remaining power of Yu Xiaoheng’s two Immortal Herbs fused with his Golden Sacred Dragon’s adaptive nature to create a trace of resistance to the Evil Soul Masters’ inferior Purple Fire.

• Yu Shan found several purple Crystal Balls among the Soul Elders’ charred clothes, and the balls absorbed lingering Core Flame from the corpses.
• The Crystal Balls escaped Lei Ming and the others’ hands and flew toward Yu Xiaoheng, who activated the Thunder Pattern to prepare to dodge.

Yu Xiaoheng escaped an Evil Soul Master teleportation trap by breaking through its passage and landed in the Far North, where he decided to flee south rather than seek the Shui Family Sisters.

• When a guard raised his whip at the girl, Hai Lan shielded her and took the blow.
• Yu Xiaoheng silently followed the Evil Soul Masters, intending to study their hierarchy and methods without drawing attention.

Yu Xiaoheng followed the Evil Soul Masters through the Far North and discovered that their apparent encounter with an Icefield Tribe was a planned ambush. The tribe’s Soul Douluo fell to his Purple Fire-infected traitorous warriors, leaving Yu Xiaoheng wary of the mysterious power and its source.

• Yu Xiaoheng chose to stay with the Evil Soul Masters because their route back to the continent was blocked and he suspected their movements had a purpose.
• An Icefield Tribe led by a Soul Douluo confronted the Evil Soul Masters, and Yu Xiaoheng stepped in front of Hai Lan as the tribe leader unleashed his power.
• The tribe leader’s trusted Soul King stabbed him, then used Purple Fire to empower his Soul Ring and turn nearly half the tribal warriors against him.
• Yu Xiaoheng realized the Purple Fire Soul Rings came from Spirit Beasts kept captive by the Evil Soul Masters and killed in the battle’s aftermath.
• The traitorous warriors and Evil Soul Masters killed the wounded Soul Douluo, and their leader ordered them to collect the Power of Our Lord.

Yu Xiaoheng was forced to collect Purple Flame and endure its painful corrosion while traveling with the Evil Soul Masters. After they sealed the Far North beneath a vast purple barrier, he realized he might use the Purple Fire tempering and his awakening Immortal Herb power to find a way to escape.

• Yu Xiaoheng collected a small cluster of Purple Flame, endured its burning, and considered—but rejected—absorbing a powerful Purple Fire Soul Ring.
• Yu Xiaoheng's group met dozens of Soul King-level Evil Soul Masters, who formed a giant purple barrier that trapped everyone inside.
• Yu Xiaoheng pretended to praise the Evil Soul Masters' lord while concluding that the barrier's core was likely the only way to escape.
• Yu Xiaoheng realized the Purple Fire was tempering the remaining medicinal energy of his Immortal Herbs, and the Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew awakened within him.
• Yu Xiaoheng used his enhanced sight to locate the barrier's distant core and glimpsed its exceptionally pure Purple Fire.

Yu Xiaoheng followed the Evil Soul Masters while seeking stronger Purple Fire to continue building his resistance. Elsewhere, Shui Yun'er and Shui Lingxi hid in an ice cave, fearing they would die before they could return to their family or see Yu Xiaoheng again.

• Yu Xiaoheng watched Hai Lan and the captured women being taken away, then followed another group of Evil Soul Masters through an ice crevice.

• Yu Xiaoheng watched the Purple Flames, focused on their purity, and made no move to save the sisters.
• The exhausted sisters heard the Evil Soul Masters discuss abusing them before sacrificing them, then sensed the black lightning they remembered from the tournament.

• Shui Yun'er and Shui Lingxi recognized Yu Xiaoheng and tried to warn him about the Purple Fire and the Soul Ancestor-level enemies.

• Yu Xiaoheng slaughtered the Evil Soul Masters and absorbed a wisp of Purple Fire from one of their corpses.

• Yu Xiaoheng suddenly opened his eyes while sitting cross-legged.

Elsewhere, Yu Changkong endured torture while protecting the captives, and he noticed an Evil Soul Master leading a Purple Fire Spirit Beast toward a hidden passage.

• Yu Xiaoheng gave the Narcissus Jade Muscle Bone to the Golden Sacred Dragon and swallowed the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum, beginning their transformation as the Shui Family Sisters watched.

• Yu Changkong told Ah Yin that he had surrendered to the Evil Soul Masters to send word of their growth back to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, then silently endured another whipping.
• Ah Yin cared for Yu Changkong and reconsidered her prejudice toward Yu Xiaoheng after learning how much the old man risked to protect the captives.
• Yu Changkong sensed a Soul King leading a Purple Fire Spirit Beast toward a hidden passage and wondered how the Evil Soul Masters survived absorbing its flames.

Yu Changkong secretly observed Evil Soul Masters using white-flame-producing fragments to survive the dangerous fusion of Purple Fire Soul Rings, then returned to Ah Yin with what he had learned. Outside the mountain hollow, Shui Yun'er and Shui Lingxi waited beside the calm, meditating Yu Xiaoheng.

• Yu Changkong left Ah Yin and secretly followed the Soul King-level Evil Soul Master into another ice cave.
• Yu Changkong watched Evil Soul Masters use black fragments to counter Purple Fire as they fused with Purple Fire Soul Rings, and saw one die when the white flame failed.
