Chapter Summaries

Yu Xiaogang absorbed Gaius’s five hundred and ninety thousand year Soul Ring and Torso Bone, reaching level eighty-eight as Ers upgraded his Fourth Spirit Ring. With his new spirit configuration complete, Yu Xiaogang asked Ers whether Douluo Planet had a suitable Ninth Soul Ring for him.

• Yu Xiaogang’s Soul Power surged to level eighty-five while he considered the difficulty of finding a Ninth Soul Ring worthy of his strength.
• Gaius completed the sacrifice, giving Yu Xiaogang a five hundred and ninety thousand year Eighth Spirit Ring.
• Ers handed Yu Xiaogang Gaius’s modified five hundred and ninety thousand year Torso Bone, which Yu Xiaogang absorbed and reached level eighty-eight.
• Ers raised Yu Xiaogang’s Fourth Spirit Ring to a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring, completing his new spirit configuration.
• Yu Xiaogang thanked Ers and asked whether Douluo Planet had a suitable Ninth Soul Ring for him.

Yu Xiaogang asked Ers about a suitable Ninth Soul Ring, and Ers agreed to describe the planet’s strongest soul beasts while warning him not to rely on divine protection. Ers revealed that four soul beasts exceeded eight hundred thousand years old and began with a million-year ice silkworm, whose immense cultivation came from consuming profound ice marrow.

• Yu Xiaogang asked Ers whether any soul beast on the Douluo Planet could become his Ninth Soul Ring, and Ers agreed to explain the candidates.
• Ers warned Yu Xiaogang that the soul beasts were dangerous and that he would not protect him, while Yu Xiaogang said he would not rely on others.
• Ers told Yu Xiaogang and the others that four soul beasts on the planet were over eight hundred thousand years old.
• Ers described a million-year ice silkworm that had grown powerful by eating ten-thousand-year profound ice marrow in the Far North.
• Ers said the ice silkworm was too weak to defeat even a fierce ten-thousand-year soul beast and had been captured by a soul beast around two hundred thousand years old.
• Gaius asked how the ice silkworm had survived its heavenly tribulations.

Ers explained why the million-year ice silkworm had survived: it was too weak to attract heavenly tribulations. He then described three other ancient soul beasts, including a Golden-Eyed Black Dragon whose existence left Gaius unsure whether he should seek out his fellow clan member.

• Gaius asked how the weak ice silkworm had survived heavenly tribulations, and Ers explained that its strength was too low for any tribulation to descend.
• Ers said the ice silkworm had been captured and would likely become food, then described a formidable sea-dwelling demonic whale with nearly a million years of cultivation.
• Yu Xiaogang suspected the demonic whale was the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King and grew interested when Ers described another sea soul beast with close to nine hundred thousand years of cultivation and water and light attributes.
• Ers revealed that another Golden-Eyed Black Dragon with over eight hundred thousand years of cultivation lived on the Douluo Continent, and Gaius considered whether to meet it.
• Gaius worried that the unknown black dragon might seek revenge against the Divine Realm and urge him to join, so he thought avoiding a meeting might be better for them both.
