Chapter Summaries

Di Tian and the other kings discussed the Crimson Blood Amber’s divine origins and decided not to investigate the Ice and Fire Spring for fear of being seen. Yu Xiaogang chose an icy-blue piece of amber, but Little Dragon desperately wanted it, leaving Yu Xiaogang weighing whether to risk the precious treasure on him.

• Di Tian said the amber likely held divine blood from fallen Soul Beasts and rejected reclaiming the Ice and Fire Spring because it might expose them.
• Yu Xiaogang and the First Elder resolved to flee if they encountered anything strange while hunting in the Star Dou Great Forest.
• Yu Xiaogang imagined increasingly powerful future Spirit Rings and concluded that finding suitable high-year Soul Beasts would be his main obstacle.
• Yu Xiaogang chose the icy-blue Crimson Blood Amber and reasoned that its dragon-derived energy would not alter his attributes.
• Little Dragon begged for the amber, and Yu Xiaogang wondered whether using the treasure on him would strengthen him or waste a potential resource for creating a Titled Douluo.

Yu Xiaogang gave Little Dragon the Crimson Blood Amber, then joined the others in discovering that Yu Yuanzhen’s Martial Soul had evolved. The chapter ended with Yu Yuanzhen revealing that his Soul Power had surged to level ninety-seven.

The Dark World factions reacted to the parallel-world Yu Yuanzhen reaching level 97, while Qian Daoliu explained that the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul could become a single attribute ultimate martial soul. Golden Crocodile Douluo and the other Consecrated Elders grew eager to join the contest in the Sunset Forest, and Qian Daoliu gave them permission to go.

• Yu Yuanzhen and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan elders lamented how far the parallel-world Yu Yuanzhen had surpassed them, as other factions mocked the difference.
• Golden Crocodile Douluo asked Qian Daoliu whether the parallel-world Yu Yuanzhen could reach level 99, and Qian Daoliu said he would be formidable even if he fell short.
• Qian Daoliu explained that Spirit Hall's records described single attribute ultimate martial souls, which excelled extraordinarily in one aspect and could rival god-level martial souls.
• Golden Crocodile Douluo reconsidered Spirit Hall's decision to send only Azure Luan Douluo to the Sunset Forest and voiced his desire to obtain an immortal grade herb.
• Qian Daoliu allowed Golden Crocodile Douluo and the other Consecrated Elders to join the expedition, and they eagerly agreed.

Yu Yuanzhen tested his evolved Martial Soul and discovered that Thunder Attribute attacks replenished his Soul Power instead of harming him. When he merged blue and golden lightning into black lightning, it unleashed devastating power, and a voice sounded in his mind.

• Yu Yuanzhen showed his blue-and-gold lightning to the First Elder and Lin Lang, who felt compelled to bow before its pressure, while Dugu Bo and Yu Xiaogang felt nothing unusual.
• Yu Yuanzhen asked the First Elder to attack him and discovered that Thunder Attribute attacks restored his Soul Power.
• Yu Yuanzhen endured increasingly powerful lightning attacks and concluded that Thunder Attribute Soul Masters could no longer harm him.
• Yu Yuanzhen explained that his Thunder Attribute had transformed and declared himself the strongest Soul Master on Douluo Continent in that domain.
• Yu Yuanzhen merged blue and golden lightning into black lightning, threw it into the sky, and watched it destroy everything it struck as a voice sounded in his mind.

Yu Yuanzhen’s evolved Martial Soul unleashed Thunder of Destruction, attracting the attention of the God of Destruction, who offered him the chance to become a god. As the parallel-world revelation stirred the continent, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan raced toward the Mysterious Thunder Vajra Grass, while Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo reconsidered their priorities.

• Yu Yuanzhen unleashed Thunder of Destruction, and the God of Destruction spoke to him privately, identifying himself and asking whether Yu Yuanzhen wanted to become a god.
• The Heavenly Screen showed the conversation, shocking people across the Douluo Continent with the news that gods existed and Yu Yuanzhen might ascend.
• Yu Yuanzhen’s counterpart traveling toward Sunset Forest was stunned by the revelation until the First Elder snapped him out of it and urged him to focus on reaching the Mysterious Thunder Vajra Grass.
• The First Elder carried Yu Yuanzhen at full speed while the Second Elder and Third Elder followed, determined to secure the herb for their clan’s chance at godhood.
• Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo decided that Immortal Grade Herbs were more valuable than Soul Bones and resolved to seek herbs that might offer them a chance to become gods.

Qian Daoliu and Bibi Dong reacted to Yu Yuanzhen of a Parallel World being chosen by the God of Destruction, while the Divine Realm gods debated the Heavenly Screen and their inability to descend. In the White World, Yu Xiaogang revealed that his father had not become a god and that he had been offered two choices, leaving everyone waiting to learn what they were.

• Qian Daoliu considered stopping Yu Yuanzhen but decided against intervening without a Divine Oracle, fearing conflict between the gods.
• The Divine Realm gods discussed the God of Destruction's potential successor, their inability to descend to Douluo Planet, and the possibility that Parallel Worlds were real.
• Bibi Dong blamed the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan for her separation from Xiaogang and decided to go to the Sunset Forest to prevent the clan from producing a god.
• Hu Liena asked whether Thunder Douluo had become a god, and Yu Xiaogang clarified that his father had not.
• Yu Xiaogang said the God of Destruction had offered his father two choices, but he had wasted too much time pursuing the first, so everyone watched the Heavenly Screen for details.

Yu Yuanzhen met the God of Destruction, who offered him a chance to pursue the Divine Position of the God of Ruin while reserving the God of Thunder as a fallback. He learned that he would qualify for the God of Ruin by dissolving the Power of Destruction placed inside him or mastering a god-level Thunder Attribute.

• The God of Destruction examined Yu Yuanzhen's Thunder of Destruction and explained how his Thunder of Spirit and Thunder of Matter combined to form it.
• The God of Destruction offered Yu Yuanzhen the God of Thunder's God Trial immediately or the chance to improve his Thunder of Destruction and pursue the God of Ruin.
• Yu Yuanzhen asked whether he could fall back on the God of Thunder if he failed to qualify for the God of Ruin, and the God of Destruction agreed to reserve that Divine Position.
• The God of Destruction placed a strand of the Power of Destruction inside Yu Yuanzhen and told him to dissolve it to meet the standard for the God of Ruin.
• The God of Destruction explained that Yu Yuanzhen's Ultimate Thunder was Demigod Level and that mastering a god-level Thunder Attribute would qualify him for the God of Ruin.

Yu Yuanzhen accepted the God of Destruction’s challenge to pursue the Divine Position of the God of Ruin, risking failure for the chance at a stronger divine inheritance. He told Yu Xiaogang, the First Elder, and the others that the God of Destruction had chosen him, while Yu Xiaogang worried that his father would become the god’s subordinate.

• Yu Yuanzhen decided to attempt the God of Ruin’s inheritance after the God of Destruction promised he could still inherit the Divine Position of the God of Thunder if he failed.
• The God of Destruction accepted Yu Yuanzhen’s decision and fell silent within his mind.
• Yu Yuanzhen opened his eyes and told Yu Xiaogang, the First Elder, and the others that a god had spoken to him.
• Yu Yuanzhen explained that the God of Destruction had called his black lightning Thunder of Destruction and wanted him to inherit the Divine Position of the God of Thunder as a subordinate.
• Yu Xiaogang focused on the implications of his father becoming the God of Destruction’s subordinate.

Yu Yuanzhen explained that he had been offered the God of Thunder’s Divine Position or a chance to cultivate Ultimate Thunder and pursue the stronger God of Ruin’s Divine Position. Yu Xiaogang compared his father’s Thunder Attribute advancement with his own Light Attribute and wondered whether the Angel Martial Soul could reach Ultimate Light.

• Yu Yuanzhen told Yu Xiaogang and the First Elder that the God of Destruction had offered him two paths: inherit the God of Thunder’s Divine Position or cultivate toward the God of Ruin’s Divine Position, with the God of Thunder’s position reserved if he failed.
• Yu Yuanzhen explained that his Thunder Attribute had advanced from a top-tier level to Ultimate Thunder, and that Divine Thunder would let him inherit the God of Ruin’s Divine Position.
• Yu Xiaogang concluded that his own Light Attribute needed to advance through similar stages, but Little Dragon had not yet reached the level of a top-tier Beast Martial Soul.
• Yu Xiaogang questioned whether he should keep choosing Light-Attribute Spirit Beasts or focus on Dragon-Attribute Spirit Beasts, and decided to search Spirit Hall’s records after returning to Spirit City.
• Yu Xiaogang recalled the Qian Family’s Angel Martial Soul and wondered whether it had failed to reach Ultimate Light or whether Pope Qian Xunji himself had not reached that level.

Yu Yuanzhen recounted the God of Destruction’s promise, and the First Elder, Lin Lang, and Dugu Bo resolved to help him inherit the divine position while keeping the news secret. Yu Xiaogang then asked about Yu Yuanzhen’s Thunder of Destruction and experienced his blue lightning firsthand.

• The First Elder, Lin Lang, and Dugu Bo became determined to support Yu Yuanzhen’s godhood inheritance.
• The First Elder warned Lin Lang, Dugu Bo, and Yu Xiaogang to keep Yu Yuanzhen’s divine opportunity secret, and they agreed.
• The First Elder began calculating what resources the clan could provide to Yu Yuanzhen.
• Yu Xiaogang asked Yu Yuanzhen about Thunder of Destruction, and Yu Yuanzhen summoned blue and golden lightning to demonstrate it.
• Yu Xiaogang touched the weakened blue lightning, convulsed from the shock, and praised its kick.

Yu Xiaogang studied the two components of Yu Yuanzhen’s Thunder of Destruction and decided to research how to combine his own Light of Spirit and Light of Matter. His first attempt showed him that he needed to learn how to separate a Soul Skill’s components from its fixed method of use.

• Yu Xiaogang tested Yu Yuanzhen’s blue and golden lightning and identified them as mental and physical attacks, respectively.
• Yu Yuanzhen explained how the two aspects of his Thunder Attribute had merged into Thunder of Destruction and earned him the chance to inherit the God of Ruin’s Divine Position.
• Yu Xiaogang realized that combining mental and physical powers could produce a qualitative transformation and decided to research Self-Created Soul Skills.
• Yu Xiaogang began experimenting with his Second Soul Skill, but found that the power it gathered in his throat would not move elsewhere.
• Yu Xiaogang concluded that he first needed to learn how to separate the parts of a Soul Skill from its complete structure and control them independently.

Parallel World Yu Xiaogang studied how to extract Mental Power from a Soul Skill to create a light-attribute technique, and considered seeking the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect’s Distraction Control Secret Method. He planned to keep the Aromatic Silk Beauty as leverage, while Ning Fengzhi recognized the herb’s value and hoped his Parallel World sect would negotiate well.

• Yu Xiaogang found that Soul Skills were too rigid to dismantle easily and concluded that he needed to maintain and analyze his Second Soul Skill at the same time.
• Yu Xiaogang decided that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect’s Distraction Control Secret Method could help him, and considered trading for it using his sect’s resources.
• Yu Xiaogang identified the Aromatic Silk Beauty as a potential way to evolve the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, but kept it as a trump card rather than offering it immediately.
• Ning Fengzhi inferred that Yu Xiaogang intended to demand an exorbitant price for the herb and prayed that his Parallel World sect would secure a favorable deal.

Yu Xiaogang used the Distraction Control Secret Method to separate the Mental Power in Little Dragon's Second Soul Skill and combine it with his First Spirit Skill, creating a ranged attack. His experiments gave Yu Yuanzhen and the others a template for making Self-Created Soul Skills, though they struggled to reproduce his results.

• Yu Xiaogang guided Mental Power out of Little Dragon's Second Soul Skill and discovered it exploded when it left Little Dragon's body.
• Yu Xiaogang contained the Mental Power in a light ball made with his First Spirit Skill, then released it to create a ranged mental attack he called Light Ball Bomb.
• Yu Xiaogang broke down and recombined parts of his spirit skills to develop other Self-Created Soul Skills, including a mouth cannon and a pure Soul Power release.
• Yu Yuanzhen and the others came to see Yu Xiaogang's experiments and recognized that his method could provide a template for creating Self-Created Soul Skills.
• Yu Yuanzhen and the others tried separating and combining their own spirit-skill traits but failed to complete a new skill, while remaining optimistic about learning with practice.

Yu Xiaogang’s research revealed how Spirit Skills could be combined to create Self-Created Soul Skills, inspiring Soul Masters to develop new techniques. Zhao Wuji and Feng Xiaotian found promising applications, while Tang San grew hostile when Oscar asked about his secret techniques.

• Zhao Wuji realized he could combine Position Tracking with Gravity Increase to create a skill that tracked and continuously suppressed distant opponents.
• Zhao Wuji praised the Parallel World’s Yu Xiaogang and compared his discoveries unfavorably with Yu Xiaogang’s research in their world.
• Ma Hongjun and Oscar discussed possible Self-Created Soul Skills, and Xiao Wu explained that Spirit Skills could be combined with personal techniques.
• Oscar asked Tang San to share or teach his Self-Created Soul Skills, and Tang San nearly attacked him before deciding that Oscar was coveting the Tang Sect’s secret techniques.
• Feng Xiaotian repeatedly practiced his Self-Created Soul Skill, growing stronger with each attempt as his teacher celebrated his progress.

After the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan celebrated Yu Xiaogang’s progress and the First Elder’s breakthrough, they discussed how to use the Ice and Fire Spring and protect its medicinal herbs. They decided to keep the treasure land hidden and guarded, while Yu Xiaogang sensed that someone was scheming against him.

• Yu Yuanzhen promised a grand celebration for the First Elder’s breakthrough once the clan returned home.
• Yu Xiaogang explained that he needed a Fire Attribute Soul Master to help him use his two Crimson Blood Ambers.
• Yu Xiaogang recommended leaving the remaining Immortal Grade Herbs growing and treating the Ice and Fire Spring as the clan’s medicinal herb cultivation base.
• Yu Xiaogang argued that the clan could protect the treasure land by preserving its poisonous fog and having a powerful guardian watch over it.
• Dugu Bo vowed to maintain the poisonous fog, and the First Elder volunteered to guard the area after obtaining his Ninth Soul Ring.
• Yu Yuanzhen wished Yu Xiaogang would grow strong enough to take over as clan leader, while Yu Xiaogang felt that someone was plotting against him.

Yu Yuanzhen summoned Yang Lie to help Yu Xiaogang refine the Crimson Blood Amber, while the clan members’ admiration for Yu Xiaogang’s achievements shaped their expectations of him. Yang Lie’s eager attempts to ingratiate himself left Yu Xiaogang determined to avoid becoming clan master, and Yu Xiaogang escaped into the secret chamber to begin the refining.

• Yu Yuanzhen asked the Fire Attribute Soul Emperor Yang Lie to assist Yu Xiaogang in refining a medicinal ingredient.
• Yang Lie admired Yu Xiaogang for daring to absorb a Thousand-Year First Spirit Ring and enthusiastically offered his help.
• Yu Yuanzhen hoped that exposing Yu Xiaogang to clan affairs would prepare him to become clan master, but Yu Xiaogang decided he never wanted the position.
• Yang Lie kept chatting with Yu Xiaogang as they headed to the secret chamber, making Yu Xiaogang increasingly uncomfortable.
• Yu Xiaogang gave Yang Lie the Crimson Blood Amber and explained how to burn it, then hurried into the secret chamber.
• Yu Yuanzhen and the First Elder laughed at Yu Xiaogang’s hasty retreat, leaving Yang Lie confused.

Yu Xiaogang absorbed the medicinal power of the Crimson Blood Amber in a secret chamber, while Yang Lie burned it with his Crimson Fire Fan. He emerged at Level Forty, having advanced five levels, and left everyone astonished.

• Yang Lie used his Crimson Fire Fan to melt the Crimson Blood Amber and send its smoke into the secret chamber, where Yu Xiaogang absorbed its medicinal power.
• Yang Lie finished burning the amber and, encouraged by Yu Yuanzhen's praise, prepared to burn the second piece after Yu Xiaogang was done.
• After waiting until evening, Yu Yuanzhen and the others saw Yu Xiaogang emerge from the secret chamber.
• Yu Xiaogang told Yu Yuanzhen that he had reached Level Forty, rising five levels from Level Thirty-Five.
• Yu Yuanzhen and the First Elder marveled at Yu Xiaogang's breakthrough and considered how much time the five levels would save him.

Shrek Academy's members marveled that Yu Xiaogang had reached Soul Ancestor at twelve despite having only Level One innate Soul Power, and guessed he would become a Titled Douluo before forty. In the video, Yu Yuanzhen examined his newly strengthened son and eagerly insisted on sparring with him, determined to enjoy beating him while he still could.

• Shrek Academy's members compared Yu Xiaogang's achievements with their own and were stunned that he had reached Level Forty at twelve despite his low innate Soul Power.
• Zhu Zhuqing asked how old Yu Xiaogang might be when he became a Titled Douluo, and the group guessed he would surpass Tang Hao's record by becoming one before forty.
• Yu Yuanzhen examined Yu Xiaogang after his breakthrough and found his meridians, strength, Soul Power, and vitality greatly improved.
• Yu Xiaogang said the Crimson Blood Amber had made him stronger and wanted to test himself in combat, but he resisted Yu Yuanzhen's offer to spar.
• Yu Yuanzhen insisted on sparring with Yu Xiaogang, reasoning that he should make more memories with his son before Yu Xiaogang grew strong enough to surpass him.

Yu Xiaogang planned to prioritize light-attribute Spirit Rings while helping Little Dragon refine Crimson Blood Amber. As Little Dragon evolved in the secret chamber, its pressure astonished the elders, and Yu Xiaogang realized it might be undergoing the Martial Soul Awakening it should have had from the start.

• Yu Xiaogang agreed to spar with Yu Yuanzhen and discussed seeking a light-attribute Spirit Ring for his Fourth Spirit Ring.
• Yu Xiaogang summoned Little Dragon, and Yang Lie refined Crimson Blood Amber to help it recover its potential.
• Yang Lie secretly longed for the treasure but carefully tended the refinement without trying to claim it.
• At dawn, the First Elder sensed immense pressure coming from the secret chamber and wondered at Little Dragon's Martial Soul quality.
• Yu Yuanzhen teased Yu Xiaogang about having held Little Dragon back, and Yu Xiaogang concluded that Little Dragon's evolution might be its true Martial Soul Awakening.

Little Dragon completed her Martial Soul Awakening and gained an extraordinary aura, while Yu Xiaogang discovered that his bond with her had been missing a crucial step. The chapter ended with him about to explain what he alone had been unable to do.

• Little Dragon emerged from the secret chamber after using the Crimson Blood Amber, and Yu Yuanzhen and the others sensed a new air of holiness and magnificence around her.
• Yu Yuanzhen and the First Elder compared Little Dragon’s trait to those of the Angel, Nine Heart Begonia, and evolved Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Souls, but could not identify its nature.
• Yu Yuanzhen agreed to ask Yu Xiaogang to research the trait and sent Yang Lie away to keep his son’s information confidential.
• Yu Xiaogang and Little Dragon froze when they touched, and he realized their connection had become closer.
• Yu Xiaogang told Yu Yuanzhen and the First Elder that he had discovered a crucial step in the bond between a soul master and a Beast Martial Soul that he alone had been unable to perform.
