Chapter Summaries

Shui Wuchen and Shui Bing'er escaped the City of Slaughter by entering the Road to Hell while Tang Chen overpowered their Super Freezing Bird fusion. They emerged safely after Articuno defeated the Road’s monsters and Shui Wuchen’s Sky Dream Ice Silkworm Soul Bone repelled an evil spiritual attack, and Shui Wuchen prepared to return to Skywater City with a strange Inner Core.

• The collision between Tang Chen’s Asura Demon Sword and Super Freezing Bird’s attack opened the Road to Hell, and the spatial rift sucked away the Hell Slaughterhouse’s frozen corpses.
• Tang Chen increased his power by sacrificing another Soul Ring, so Shui Wuchen ordered Shui Bing’er and Articuno to flee through the Road to Hell before their fusion ran out of Soul Power.
• Super Freezing Bird flew through the passage, smashed a Dark Gold Three-Headed Bat, and killed the Ten Headed Fierce Yang Serpent, whose fiery red Inner Core Articuno collected.

• The fusion ended outside, Shui Bing’er fainted from exhaustion, and Shui Wuchen caught her before accepting the serpent’s Inner Core from Articuno and setting out for Skywater City.

There, he discovered an ancient chair bearing the Ice God’s aura, while Shui Bing’er was drawn toward something deeper in the treasury.

• Shui Wuchen killed the Supreme Second Elder after learning the Shuitian Sect had no Ten Thousand Year Soul Bones, and the Supreme Third Elder surrendered his own right arm Soul Bone to save his life.

• Shui Bing’er began walking toward the depths of the treasury, apparently drawn by something there.

Shui Wuchen identified the Ice Blue Bead as an Ice Phoenix Inner Core and subdued it so Shui Bing'er could absorb it later. He also claimed the Shuitian Sect's Frozen Throne, then arranged a secure place at Skywater Academy for himself and Shui Bing'er to enter secluded cultivation.

• Shui Wuchen guessed that the Ice Blue Bead was the Inner Core of an Ice Phoenix or a similar ice-attributed beast, and Shui Bing'er agreed to take it.
• Shui Wuchen suppressed the Inner Core's tiny Ice Phoenix manifestation and gave the bead to Shui Bing'er, telling her he would help her absorb it after they returned.
• The Supreme Grand Elder explained that the Frozen Throne was a powerful Divine Artifact, but its users needed an ice-attributed Martial Soul and at least Peak Soul Douluo strength.
• Shui Wuchen tested the Frozen Throne, learned how it worked, and took it for himself, while Shui Yueruo selected several treasures from the vault.
• Shui Wuchen asked Shui Yueruo for a secure secret chamber at Skywater Academy so he could fuse with the Ice God Fragment and Shui Bing'er could absorb the Ice Phoenix Inner Core.

Shui Wuchen helped Shui Bing'er refine the Ice Phoenix Inner Core and condense an Inner Core, causing her Martial Soul to evolve and granting her a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring. The chapter ended with Shui Bing'er discovering she had reached Level 75, while Shui Wuchen noted that the energy could have raised her much further if it had not been used for her transformation.

• Shui Wuchen taught Shui Bing'er the Soul Master Inner Core Condensation Method and began cultivating on the Frozen Throne.
• Shui Bing'er absorbed the Ice Phoenix Inner Core while Shui Wuchen guided its energy, then used Ice Soul Spirit Pills to stabilize her newly formed Inner Core.
