Chapter Summaries

Liu Feng was nearly overwhelmed by Qian Daoliu’s Angel God power until Ah Yin intervened with the Sea God’s Trident, helping him force the light sword back and protect the armies below. Qian Daoliu then secretly ordered the sword’s divine power to detonate, while Liu Feng sensed the danger and prepared to meet it.

• The Heaven Dou Allied Army and Spirit Hall raised layered defensive barriers as Qian Daoliu’s light sword and Liu Feng’s Azure-gold Dragon Ball collided and became locked in a stalemate.
• Qian Daoliu unleashed Spirit Hall’s accumulated Power of Faith, overpowering Liu Feng and driving him and the Dragon Ball toward the battlefield.
• Chen Xin, Yu Yuanzhen, Dugu Bo, Dugu Xin, Gu Rong, and Ning Fengzhi tried to support Liu Feng, but Spirit Hall’s Titled Douluo obstructed them.
• Ah Yin summoned the Sea God’s Trident and used Sea God’s Divine Power to block the descending light sword, then helped Liu Feng push it high above the armies.
• Qian Daoliu realized Ah Yin was the Sea God and chose to detonate the divine power in the light sword, while Liu Feng sensed the sword’s abnormal energy fluctuations.

Liu Feng and Qian Daoliu detonated their divine attacks together and ended their duel in a draw, with both concealing how badly the clash had drained them. After both armies withdrew, Qian Daoliu recovered from his injuries while Liu Feng began secluded cultivation, believing he could reach godhood within one to three years and end the war.

• Liu Feng and Qian Daoliu detonated the Dragon Ball and Angel Light Sword simultaneously, and the resulting blast left both men depleted while their armies remained unharmed.
• Qian Daoliu called the duel a draw, and Liu Feng returned to the Heaven Dou Allied Army as both fighters concealed their weakness from their followers.
• Liu Feng ordered the Heaven Dou Allied Army back inside Jialing Pass, while Qian Daoliu ordered Spirit Hall's army to retreat thirty li and make camp.
• Qian Daoliu coughed up blood in his tent, began healing, and told Golden Crocodile Douluo that his bluff had made Liu Feng believe he still had ample strength.
• Ah Yin healed Liu Feng with the Sea God Domain, and Liu Feng said the duel had brought him closer to godhood and that he expected to reach Level 100 within one to three years.
• Liu Feng began secluded cultivation as Ah Yin guarded him, and the two armies settled into a stalemate.

Bibi Dong struggled to find a way for Spirit Hall to breach Gengxin City as the prolonged war against the Clear Sky Sect caused heavy casualties. She summoned Huyan Zhen and Tuoba Xi and prepared to discuss a plan that could reduce losses while capturing the city.

• Spirit Hall’s army and the Clear Sky Sect’s allies fought a month of bloody battles near Gengxin City, leaving Spirit Hall with heavy casualties.
• Bibi Dong learned that Tang Xiao had stopped the Holy Dragon Legion’s assault and was fighting Ghost Leopard Douluo near the city walls.
• Bibi Dong rejected proposals to wait for reinforcements, ambush the Clear Sky Sect’s supplies, or cut off the city’s water, and the Red Archbishops failed to devise another plan.
• Bibi Dong dismissed the Red Archbishops, then summoned Huyan Zhen and Tuoba Xi to discuss the condition and casualties of their legions.
• After hearing that the Elephant Armor Legion’s losses were manageable but the Holy Dragon Legion was badly depleted, Bibi Dong said she had devised a way to reduce casualties and breach Gengxin City.

Bibi Dong sent Huyan Zhen and Tuoba Xi to recruit Fallen Soul Masters from the City of Slaughter as cannon fodder for the assault on Gengxin City, promising to eliminate them afterward and giving them a Gray Sickle to control them. After traveling in secret for nine days, the two reached the town concealing the City of Slaughter and confronted the Knight Captain over his lax conduct.

• Bibi Dong persuaded Tuoba Xi and Huyan Zhen to accept the recruitment mission by promising to pardon the Fallen Soul Masters temporarily and dispose of them after the battle.
• Bibi Dong explained that the survivors in the City of Slaughter were relatively weak and handed Huyan Zhen a Gray Sickle that she claimed would bind their Essence Blood and force their obedience.
• Huyan Zhen and Tuoba Xi arranged temporary command of their legions, got a route and warnings from Spirit Kite Douluo, and traveled overland for nine days to avoid detection by the Clear Sky Sect's forces.
• At the town entrance, Huyan Zhen and Tuoba Xi showed their Spirit Hall credentials and learned that the City of Slaughter's entrance lay inside a tavern guarded by a Knight Captain.
• Huyan Zhen and Tuoba Xi entered the tavern, where they found Spirit Hall knights drinking beside a group of oddly dressed patrons, and Tuoba Xi challenged the Knight Captain for being careless while on duty.

Huyan Zhen and Tuoba Xi entered the City of Slaughter to recruit Fallen Soul Masters, killing a drunken man and several others when they refused to obey. They confronted the leaders of the city’s three gangs during their final wager match, and Shadow Ghost began to invoke the city’s rules before Tuoba Xi appeared behind him.

• Huyan Zhen reprimanded the Knight Captain for neglecting his post, then ordered the Fallen Soul Masters at the tavern to accompany him and Tuoba Xi.
• When a drunken Fallen Soul Master refused, Huyan Zhen used Ancient Roar to kill him and several others, then followed the Knight Captain to the passage into the City of Slaughter.
• Huyan Zhen and Tuoba Xi found the city gate in ruins, entered the intact city, and learned that Blood Axe, Shadow Ghost, and red rose were competing to rule it.
• The two Titled Douluo arrived at the Great Soul Arena and unleashed their power, halting the match and overwhelming the three gang leaders and the rest of the city.
• Blood Axe recognized the newcomers as Spirit Hall elders, while Shadow Ghost tried to invoke the City of Slaughter’s rules and Tuoba Xi appeared behind him.

Tuoba Xi and Huyan Zhen recruited the City of Slaughter’s Fallen Soul Masters for Spirit Hall’s campaign at Gengxin City, offering them a chance to earn a pardon. After binding the gang leaders to their promise with Bibi Dong’s Gray Sickle, the two waited in the Great Soul Arena for the recruitment to finish.

• Tuoba Xi and Huyan Zhen told Shadow Ghost, Blood Axe, and red rose that Spirit Hall would recruit them to fight at Gengxin City in exchange for a chance to reform and receive a pardon.
• Red rose and Shadow Ghost agreed immediately, and Blood Axe joined them after hearing their decision.
• Blood Axe estimated that around two thousand battle-capable Soul Masters lived in the City of Slaughter and said they could persuade them all to join.
• Tuoba Xi made the three gang leaders place their Essence Blood on Bibi Dong’s Gray Sickle, which bound them to their agreement with a mental curse.
• Blood Axe, Shadow Ghost, and red rose split up to recruit the City of Slaughter’s Soul Masters while Huyan Zhen and Tuoba Xi waited in the Great Soul Arena.

Huyan Zhen and Tuoba Xi recruited 1,800 Fallen Soul Masters from the City of Slaughter and bound them to the Gray Sickle before leading them toward the Gengxin City Battlefield. To avoid the Clear Sky Sect’s alert zone while moving quickly, Huyan Zhen accepted Blood Axe’s proposal to kill anyone who witnessed their passage.

• Blood Axe, Shadow Ghost, and red rose returned with 1,800 Fallen Soul Masters, and Tuoba Xi bound them to the Gray Sickle with their essence blood.
• Huyan Zhen and Tuoba Xi led the group out of the City of Slaughter, where Huyan Zhen silenced the freed Fallen Soul Masters’ celebration with his pressure and ordered them to behave.
• Tuoba Xi warned that a direct route to Gengxin City would expose the group to the Clear Sky Sect, while Huyan Zhen rejected hiding them near the battlefield or taking a slow detour.
• Red rose proposed traveling quickly through populated areas, and Blood Axe suggested killing every witness so their movements could not be reported.
• Tuoba Xi objected to killing innocents, but Huyan Zhen accepted Blood Axe’s proposal and ordered the group to prioritize reaching the battlefield.

Tuoba Xi and Huyan Zhen led 1,800 Fallen Soul Masters toward Martial Soul Hall’s camp near Gengxin City, slaughtering villages along the way. At the Allied Forces’ council, Bai He connected the two missing legions to their absent commanders, Huyan Zhen and Tuoba Xi.

• Tuoba Xi agreed to let the Fallen Soul Masters kill villagers, trusting Bibi Dong’s promise that they would later be killed.
• Huyan Zhen warned the Fallen Soul Masters that the Gray Sickle would punish anyone who fled, and all 1,800 followed him and Tuoba Xi toward Gengxin City.
• The group exterminated every village and town on their route, then camped east of Gengxin City and planned to reach Martial Soul Hall’s barracks after resting.
• Bai He told the Allied Forces’ leaders that Martial Soul Hall’s attacks had weakened in the north and that the Elephant Armor Legion and Holy Dragon Legion had appeared less often.
• Tang Xiao argued that the defensive Elephant Armor Legion should not have suffered enough casualties to explain its withdrawal, and he warned that Martial Soul Hall was concealing a scheme.
• Bai He pointed out that the two legions’ commanders, Huyan Zhen and Tuoba Xi, had also disappeared from the battlefield over the past month.

Bai He discovered that Huyan Zhen and Tuoba Xi were leading nearly 2,000 Fallen Soul Masters through the eastern forest, apparently to help Spirit Hall attack Gengxin City. He reported the danger to Tang Xiao, but the two could not find a safe way to stop them before they reached the battlefield.

• Bai He reasoned that Huyan Zhen and Tuoba Xi had been sent away from the battlefield while their legions remained in camp, so Tang Xiao ordered the Speed Clan to scout all routes around Gengxin City.
• Bai He split his clan into scouting squads and traveled east alone while Tang Xiao waited near the western wall to support them.
• Bai He found Huyan Zhen, Tuoba Xi, and nearly 2,000 Fallen Soul Masters resting in the forest, then escaped after Tuoba Xi briefly sensed a faint disturbance.
• Bai He returned to Tang Xiao and reported that Spirit Hall appeared to be preparing the Fallen Soul Masters for battle.
• Tang Xiao proposed eliminating the Fallen Soul Masters before they reached the battlefield, but Bai He warned that a large attack could expose them to Spirit Hall and that Bibi Dong might intercept Tang Hao if he left the city.

Tang Xiao entered the Eastern Forest to investigate the Fallen Soul Masters while Bai He returned to Gengxin City and Tang Hao sent Yang Wudi and Huo Yun to support him. Tang Hao’s attempt to track Bibi Dong with his Asura Divine Power prompted her to challenge him, and their battle began above the battlefield.

• Tang Xiao split from Bai He and cautiously traveled to the Eastern Forest, where he confirmed the Fallen Soul Masters were nearby.
• Bai He returned to Gengxin City and told Tang Hao that Tang Xiao had gone to investigate alone.
• Tang Hao ordered Yang Wudi and Huo Yun to support Tang Xiao while he used Asura Divine Power to monitor Bibi Dong.
• Bibi Dong sensed Tang Hao’s power, mistook it for a challenge, and answered by releasing her Rakshasa Divine Power.
• Tang Hao and Bibi Dong flew into the sky to fight, and Tang Hao opened with an Asura: Slash that Bibi Dong prepared to counter.

Tang Xiao ambushed the Fallen Soul Masters while Tang Hao and Bibi Dong continued fighting above the battlefield. After surviving Tuoba Xi’s counterattack, Tang Xiao began slaughtering the fleeing Fallen Soul Masters, leaving the fight still underway.

• Bibi Dong blocked Tang Hao’s Blood-red Crescent Slash with the Rakshasa Demon Scythe, and their attacks exploded in the sky.
• Tang Xiao surprised the resting Fallen Soul Masters with the Great Sumeru Hammer, killing many and shattering Huyan Zhen’s right arm while Tuoba Xi escaped.
• Tuoba Xi and the Fallen Soul Masters trapped Tang Xiao in a blood sphere, but Tang Xiao protected himself with Hammer Shield Guard and emerged unharmed.
• Tang Xiao attacked the panicked Fallen Soul Masters with Thousand Mountains Shattering Destruction, killing many as he searched for the next group.

Bibi Dong’s blood-colored sickle killed Tang Xiao after absorbing the lives and power of the Fallen Soul Masters, while Tang Xiao’s final attack killed Tuoba Xi and Huyan Zhen. Grieving and enraged, Tang Hao carried his brother’s body to Gengxin City, struck at the Spirit Hall army, and forced its troops to retreat.

• Tuoba Xi activated Bibi Dong’s gray sickle, causing the remaining Fallen Soul Masters to explode and their power to gather in the weapon.
• Tang Xiao used Ring Explosion and the Great Sumeru Hammer against the sickle, but it pierced through space and fatally wounded him; his hammer then smashed Tuoba Xi and Huyan Zhen.
• Tang Hao sensed Tang Xiao’s death, confronted Bibi Dong, and returned to the forest, where he found his brother’s body and told Yang Wudi and Huo Yun they could not have stopped the killing blow.
• Tang Hao carried Tang Xiao’s body toward Gengxin City and unleashed three sword energies at the Spirit Hall troops attacking its walls.
• Yue Guan, Gui Mei, Snake Lance Douluo, and Porcupinefish Douluo intercepted Tang Hao’s attacks, after which the Spirit Hall army sounded a retreat and ended the fighting around Gengxin City.

After Tang Xiao died defending Gengxin City, Tang Hao ordered the allied sects to send every remaining disciple, including their young generations, to the battlefield. Bai He returned to the Clear Sky Sect with Tang Xiao’s body, revealed his death to Tang Xiao’s sons, and helped them carry him to the ancestral shrine before preparing to explain Tang Hao’s orders.

• Tang Hao suppressed his grief over Tang Xiao’s death and ordered Bai He to take the body to the Clear Sky Sect for burial.
• Tang Hao told the allied leaders to mobilize every remaining disciple, including Tang San and other young disciples, to defend Gengxin City; the leaders reluctantly agreed.
• Bai He flew back to the Clear Sky Sect, where he arrived as Tang San defeated Dai Mubai in a training match.
• Bai He told Tang Da and Tang Er that their father, Tang Xiao, had died on the battlefield, then brought out his body.
• Tang Da and Tang Er carried Tang Xiao toward the Clear Sky Sect’s ancestral shrine, while Bai He said he had another important matter to discuss concerning the sect’s safety.

After Tang Xiao was buried, Bai He mobilized the Clear Sky Sect and its affiliated clans to reinforce Gengxin City. Tang San revealed his Zhuge Crossbow to strengthen the Allied Forces, then arrived at the war-torn city with the young disciples and reunited with Tang Hao.

• Bai He buried Tang Xiao with Tang Da, Tang Er, Tang San, and Bai Chenxiang, then ordered every Soul Master in the Clear Sky Sect and nearby affiliated clans to reinforce Gengxin City.
• Tang San demonstrated the Zhuge Crossbow to Bai He and the departing disciples, showing that it could pierce stone and fire multiple bolts in succession.
• Bai He led nearly five hundred young disciples on a journey of more than twenty days to Gengxin City, where Yang Wudi arranged for them to rest and take lighter duties.
• Bai He brought Tang San to the Allied Forces' command post, where Tang San reunited with an exhausted Tang Hao.
• Tang San demonstrated the Zhuge Crossbow for Tang Hao, who praised its combat value and learned that Tang San could provide blueprints and train blacksmiths to produce it in quantity.

Tang San and Lou Gao organized mass production of Zhuge Crossbows, which strengthened Gengxin City's defenses and helped the Allied Forces blunt Martial Soul Hall's attacks. After suffering mounting losses, Martial Soul Hall withdrew to its northern barracks, leaving the battle at a temporary standstill.

• Tang San showed Lou Gao the Zhuge Crossbow, and Lou Gao quickly examined its design and praised Tang San's forging skill.
• Lou Gao organized hundreds of blacksmiths into an assembly line, and the first batch of one hundred Zhuge Crossbows and three thousand bolts was completed that day.
• Tang Hao ordered production increased after the crossbows proved effective, and Tang San and Lou Gao expanded output to three hundred crossbows and ten thousand bolts per day.
• Soul Masters defending the northern City Wall used Zhuge Crossbows to rout an attacking force, while Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing joined forces to defeat three ambushing Soul Kings.
• The Allied Forces used Zhuge Crossbows to improve their battlefield position, and after another half month of losses, Martial Soul Hall withdrew its legions and paused its attacks.

Spirit Hall and the Clear Sky Sect Allied Forces adapted to the Zhuge Crossbow by forming seven-person Soul Master Squads and fighting over the supply routes around Gengxin City. As both sides settled into mutual attrition, Bibi Dong and Tang Hao entered seclusion to pursue Level 100 and the power to decide the war.

• Bibi Dong approved Chrysanthemum Douluo’s plan to form squads of mid-level Soul Masters and raid the Allied Forces’ supply routes, then entered seclusion with Ghost Douluo as her protector.
• Chrysanthemum Douluo deployed hundreds of seven-person squads, and they intercepted three logistics convoys in the Forge God Mountain Range.
• Tang Hao and the Allied Forces’ leaders agreed to form their own squads, while Lou Gao sought Tang San’s help developing weapons suited to squad combat.
• Tang Hao announced that he would enter seclusion to pursue Level 100, leaving the defense and command of Gengxin City to the other leaders.
• Both sides deployed squads around Gengxin City and began frequent encounters, leaving the battlefield in a stalemate that depended on whether Bibi Dong or Tang Hao reached godhood first.

Tang San and Lou Gao tested two new hidden weapons and organized their mass production for the frontline squads. Meanwhile, Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing left Gengxin City with Huo Yun to fight Spirit Hall and strengthen themselves for revenge.

• Lou Gao forged components for the Flying God Claw and Silent Sleeve Arrow, and Tang San assembled and demonstrated both weapons.
• Lou Gao approved the weapons for mass production, and Tang San and Tai Long organized blacksmiths into teams to forge their parts.
• Tang San began cultivating by the forge while Tai Long arranged for the new weapons to be assembled from blueprints.
• Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing asked Huo Yun to help them join the fighting outside Gengxin City.
• Huo Yun agreed to accompany them as a safeguard but said he would intervene only if they faced a true life-or-death crisis.
• Huo Yun led Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing over the western city wall into the mountains to fight Spirit Hall's soul master squads.

Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing continued hunting Spirit Hall squads in the Forge God Mountain Range while Tang Hao and Bibi Dong pursued rival paths to godhood in Gengxin City. At Jialing Pass, Oscar and Ma Hongjun met Yu Tianxin, Yu Tianheng, and Yu Tianyang at a tavern.

• Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing used their Hell White Tiger fusion skill to kill two Spirit Hall Soul Masters who had been fleeing through the fog.
• Huo Yun praised Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing, who vowed to continue their revenge and rested after reaching Soul Power levels 45 and 41, respectively.
• Followers of the Asura God Cult worshipped Tang Hao’s Asura Divine Sword, and their faith nourished his Asura Divine Power.
• Bibi Dong drew power from the slaughter and negative energy of the battlefield as she and Tang Hao raced toward godhood.
• Flender escorted provisions into Jialing Pass with Oscar and Ma Hongjun, then went to visit Yu Xiaogang and Erlong Mei.
• Oscar and Ma Hongjun wandered through Jialing Pass and joined Yu Tianxin, Yu Tianheng, and Yu Tianyang at a tavern.

Oscar and Ma Hongjun learned that Heaven Dou and Martial Soul Hall had called a truce while Liu Feng and Qian Daoliu pursued godhood. Half a year later, Xiao Wu and her companions trained hard in the Far North, hoping to grow strong enough to support their parents on the front lines.

• Yu Tianheng and Yu Tianyang explained to Oscar and Ma Hongjun that the truce allowed Liu Feng and Qian Daoliu to pursue godhood without interruption.
• Oscar and Ma Hongjun saw Liu Feng’s Blue Silver Ancient Tree release a healing rain of light over Jialing Pass and learned that its energy also gathered the people’s Power of Faith.

• After another half year, Xiao Wu, Dugu Yan, Liu Yun, and Liu Xue sparred at the Divine Wood Sect before heading to cultivate.
• Xiao Wu urged Ning Rongrong to train with her, while Liu Yun, Liu Xue, and Dugu Yan resolved to strengthen themselves to support their parents at Jialing Pass.

Two and a half years after the armies settled into a tense peace at Jialing Pass, Flender, Liu Erlong, and their young companions returned from a successful Soul Ring hunt. As Yu Xiaogang questioned them about their progress, a godlike pressure suddenly swept across the city, leaving everyone stunned and struggling to breathe.

• Flender, Liu Erlong, Yu Tianyang, Yu Tianheng, Yu Tianxin, Oscar, and Ma Hongjun entered prosperous Jialing Pass after hunting their Fifth Soul Rings.
• Oscar and Yu Tianheng explained that the Soul Ring hunt had succeeded, and Yu Tianxin reported that the Yu Brothers had reached Level 52.
• Oscar described his attack-and-speed-boosting Excited Sausage, while Ma Hongjun said Brilliant Dew Fire helped suppress and purify his Evil Fire.
• Yu Xiaogang praised the young Soul Masters' progress and discussed Ma Hongjun's plan to purify his Martial Soul.
• An immense, nonviolent pressure swept over Jialing Pass, making its residents feel as if they faced a god and leaving Flender alarmed.
