Chapter Summaries

Yang Potian and his sons escaped into the Star Dou Great Forest while Tang Xiao ordered the ports watched for the Breaking Clan. Tian Hao then arranged an airlift to move Plant Academy and its Soul Beasts to the Banyan Tree Forest, where he noticed the unusual Mental Power of Bai Long'er.

• Yue Guan confirmed that Ling Yuan had killed Clear Sky Sect's Second Elder, then parted ways with Yang Potian and suggested they would meet again in Heaven Dou City.
• Yang Potian entered the Star Dou Great Forest with Yang Wudi and Yang Wushuang, telling his sons that their new clan head had surpassed their ancestors.
• After the Breaking Clan vanished into the forest, Tang Xiao ordered Bai Niao to watch the major ports for their arrival.
• Tian Hao returned to the valley and prepared a vine basket so Snow White Clothes and the Divine Wind Demon Wolves could carry Plant Academy to the Banyan Tree Forest.
• Lin Qianyue brought the academy's people and Plant Soul Beasts aboard, and A Lan's Blue Silver Domain revitalized them during the nighttime flight.
• Tian Hao sensed Bai Long'er's powerful Mental Power and suspected it came from her Martial Soul.

After returning to Banyan Tree Forest, Tian Hao discovered that the girl traveling with them was Tang Yuehua, whose Ruyi Ring Martial Soul had kept her from cultivating. He removed the obstruction in her Martial Soul, awakened its Innate Domain, and raised her Innate Soul Power to Level Ten, leaving her determined to take another risk.

• Tian Hao and the others reached Banyan Tree Forest after four nights of travel, and Zhao Wuji collapsed from exhaustion.
• Tian Hao asked Tang Yuehua about her Ruyi Ring Martial Soul and learned that its rejection of Soul Power had left her unable to cultivate beyond Level Nine.
• Tian Hao suppressed the Ruyi Ring's rejection with the Life Tree and sensed the Clear Sky Hammer source within it, confirming Tang Yuehua's identity.
• Tian Hao extracted the Clear Sky Hammer source, allowing the Ruyi Ring to complete its mutation and reveal its Innate mental Domain.
• Tang Yuehua's Innate Soul Power rose to Level Ten, and Tian Hao left while considering how to strengthen her Martial Soul and Domain.

Tian Hao captured a Clear Sky Sect bodyguard, confirmed the Second Elder had gained a second hundred-thousand-year soul ring, and discovered that his newly formed Demon Eye could become a soul bone. He gave the eye to Snow White Clothes to nurture as he prepared to reforge the Ancestor's Spear and study organ-based soul bones.

• Tian Hao questioned the Second Elder, who revealed he had captured Tang Yuehua's bodyguard and placed her in suspended death.
• Tian Hao read the woman's memories and confirmed she had been assigned by Tang Xiao to guard Tang Yuehua, then ordered the Second Elder to keep her isolated.
• The Second Elder reported that he had broken through to Titled Douluo and gained a second hundred-thousand-year soul ring, and Tian Hao told him to prepare for the Ancestor's Spear's reforging.
• Tian Hao gouged out the fully formed Demon Eye before it could merge its demonic energy into his brain, and he realized it could develop into a soul bone by absorbing blood energy.
• Tian Hao had the captured bodyguard refined by the Life Tree, then gave the Demon Eye to Snow White Clothes to nurture and study.

Tian Hao completed a plant-cell-wall-based Soul Bone Transformation for every bone in his body, opening a new path for the Breaking Clan’s Strength System. He then examined Yang Potian and began removing the medicinal toxins accumulated during his cultivation.

• Tian Hao used Pill Strength, Soul Power, blood essence, and vibration to transform his bones, aided by his Nine-leaf Foxtail Grass martial soul and the enlightenment state.
• Tian Hao completed the transformation of every bone in his body and explained that the resulting blank Soul Bones needed continued nurturing but lacked Soul Bone Skills.
• Yang Potian and the other eight celebrated their progress in cultivating Pill Strength Blood Essence, and Yang Potian explained how the Breaking Clan’s medicinal knowledge and physical training had helped them advance.
• Tian Hao examined Yang Potian, confirmed that he had developed Postnatal Blood Essence despite medicinal toxins, and used A Lan’s Devouring Golden Silk to extract the toxins and stimulate his liver and kidneys.

Tian Hao strengthened Yang Potian and the others by expanding their Soul Seas, then learned that a likely Dark Demon Evil God Tiger had been seen in the Star Dou Great Forest. He planned to seek its inheritance after dealing with Dream City and distributed spear and sword intents to his allies.

• Tian Hao cleansed Yang Potian of medicinal toxins and expanded the Soul Seas of the group to a safer three-meter diameter using spatial power from shattered Storage Soul Tools.
• Tian Hao warned Yang Potian that enlarged Soul Seas were fragile, must only store Soul Power, and could become fatal if their barriers were damaged or outside Soul Power entered.
• Tian Hao asked Yang Potian about the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, and Yang Potian reported a credible sighting of a black, bat-winged tiger fighting the Titan Giant Ape in the Star Dou Great Forest.
• Tian Hao confirmed the creature was likely the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger and planned to visit the forest after the group dealt with Dream City to pursue its Soul Blood and possible Evil God King's Inheritance.
• Tian Hao distributed thirteen prepared spear intents among the elders and others, then gave Yang Baiying a sword intent.

Tian Hao taught Yang Potian, Yang Baiying, and the others how to cultivate his newly formed Spear Intent and combine it with their martial souls. He then asked the Banyan Tree King to build an underground Forge Room, expanding the plan into an Underground City for Plant Academy.

• Tian Hao explained that Yang Potian could fuse and strengthen the Spear Intent with Mental Power before combining it with the Soul Breaking Spear, while Yang Baiying could try fusing it with Wind Attribute.
• The elders welcomed the new cultivation path but worried about their workload, and Meng Yuyan vowed to cultivate Pill Strength Blood Essence and transform a soul bone before the Soul Master Competition.
• Meng Yuyan asked Tian Hao what he thought of Bai Long'er, became upset at his dismissive answer, and ran away while Yang Potian and the others tactfully withdrew.
• Tian Hao asked the Banyan Tree King to make a stable underground Forge Room, and the two agreed that a larger Underground City could serve Plant Academy and provide refuge from attacks.
• Tian Hao instructed the Banyan Tree King to begin the Forge Room and its supporting foundation, then went to look for people with construction experience.

Tian Hao set out to refine Tungsten Steel and adapted the later Douluo forging stages, using the Yangquan Water, his strength, and his Mental Power to reach Thousand Forging Perfection. He ended the chapter with a mysterious connection to the metal.

• Tian Hao abandoned the idea of using only ordinary hammer-forging and planned to awaken the Tungsten Steel's properties through Mental Power and Soul Power.
• Tian Hao heated the Tungsten Steel in the Yangquan Water until it nearly melted, then began hammering it with the Double Chaotic Cape Style.
• Tian Hao used X-ray Vision to target impurities and repeatedly folded and forged the Tungsten Steel until it became uniform and pure.
• Tian Hao entered an enlightenment state and resonated with the Tungsten Steel's hardness and heaviness as he continued forging.
• Tian Hao achieved Thousand Forging Perfection, sprayed his blood onto the black-glowing Tungsten Steel, and formed a mysterious connection with it.

Tian Hao forged a Thousand-Forged Tungsten Steel hammer whose shockwave effect suited his techniques, then tried and failed to awaken Flame Iron’s potential while making a forge platform. He studied the metal’s properties and began tempering the hammer through its blood connection to him.

• Tian Hao forged Tungsten Steel into a hammer and discovered that his shockwave force had triggered its Shockwave Special Effect.
• Tian Hao shaped the hammer’s surface, then selected Flame Iron for a heat-insulating forge platform.
• Tian Hao used the Tungsten Steel hammer to refine Flame Iron, removing its impurities with repeated vibrational blows.
• Tian Hao entered an enlightenment state but failed to trigger Flame Iron’s material property before the state ended.
• Tian Hao studied the metals booklet for a suitable forging technique and used Dan Force to temper the hammer through his blood and qi.

Tian Hao watched the Golden Banyan Tree King break through to become the Golden Banyan Tree Emperor, helping Lin Changjun, Lin Qianyue, and himself evolve their Martial Souls. He gave Tang Yuehua his Marrow Cleansing Classic to develop her Calm Heart Domain, but her first attempt unexpectedly absorbed moonlight instead of dawn’s violet energy.

• After months of cultivation and forging, the Golden Banyan Tree King transformed into the Golden Banyan Tree Emperor and broke through the hundred-thousand-year threshold.
• Lin Changjun and Lin Qianyue’s Martial Souls evolved, while Tian Hao’s Nine-leaf Foxtail Grass also improved; the Emperor’s breakthrough raised Tian Hao’s Soul Power to level eight.
• Tian Hao taught Tang Yuehua the Marrow Cleansing Classic and invited her to join the Plant Team, hoping to use her as a volunteer for his research.
• Tang Yuehua began practicing the technique and prepared to absorb violet energy at dawn, but her Calm Heart Domain instead resonated with moonlight and drew it into her mind.

Tian Hao modified the Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew to absorb moonlight for Tang Yuehua, then began fusing other immortal grasses to create stronger medicinal plants. He left the chapter planning to pursue divine inheritances and use god-level power to cultivate knockoff immortal elixirs.

• Tang Yuehua told Tian Hao she could absorb moonlight but could not refine dawn's purple qi, and he took the Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew to modify it.
• Tian Hao grafted a Star Moon Spirit Pearl leaf onto the Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew, giving it the ability to absorb moonlight and incorporating its energy circulation into the Marrow Cleansing Classic.
• Tian Hao fused a leaf from the Infernal Delicate Apricot and a section of Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng root into the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower, balancing its stronger Phoenix Flame with vitality.
• Tian Hao planned to obtain godly power and inheritances to evolve the immortal grasses, considering Ma Hongjun, Bibi Dong, Qian Renxue, Tang San, Ah Yin, and others as part of his plans.

Tang Yuehua settled into Banyan Tree Forest and went to meet Iron-Faced Man to learn the Jade Maiden Skill, where she discovered Yang Wudi and Yang Wushuang working with Plant Academy. The chapter left her noticing that the Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew had grown an unusual leaf that was absorbing moonlight.

• Lin Changjun showed Tang Yuehua her treehouse and explained that Senior Golden Banyan Tree Emperor had created it with help from the captain.
• Lin Changjun told Tang Yuehua that the captain would teach her the Jade Maiden Skill, which made her curious about its effect on Lin Changjun's skin.
• After unpacking, Tang Yuehua saw the Golden Banyan Tree Emperor and wondered why Plant Academy had settled beside a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast.
• Tang Yuehua entered Iron-Faced Man's treehouse and recognized Yang Wudi and Yang Wushuang, who were reviewing Tian Hao's records of medicinal herbs.
• Tian Hao gave Yang Wudi and Yang Wushuang his herb records and ordered them to compare the information with their clan's records and collect missing herbs.
• Tang Yuehua noticed an extra leaf on the Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew absorbing the moonlight.

Tian Hao taught Tang Yuehua techniques to nurture the Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew and strengthen her cultivation, while insisting his interest in her was practical rather than romantic. His lecture about inner worth led Tang Yuehua to reconsider why her former lover had rejected her, and she concluded that their relationship had always been tainted by her initial calculations.

• Tian Hao told Tang Yuehua to cultivate in resonance with the Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew so it could develop intelligence.
• He transmitted an optimized Marrow Cleansing Classic and the Jade Maiden Skill to Tang Yuehua, then asked her to expose her lower abdomen so he could plant an inner-power seed.
• Tang Yuehua asked whether Tian Hao was courting her, and he replied that her martial soul and Innate Domain had potential worth cultivating.
• Tian Hao dismissed her looks as unimportant and lectured her about independence and inner value, leaving Tang Yuehua thinking about her past relationship.
• Tang Yuehua concluded that her former lover had treated their romance as a transaction because she had originally approached him with her sect's interests in mind.

Tian Hao gave Tang Yuehua the Jade Maiden Skill’s power seed and planned to bring her to the Soul Master Competition, using her presence to deter the Clear Sky Sect while concealing her identity. He also checked on the elders’ imperfectly controlled Soul Power, which had risen enough to stabilize their bodies.

• Tang Yuehua changed in Tian Hao’s room, tried his hard wooden bed, and left him a bedsheet in exchange for a Gold Soul Coin, of which he kept only the value of one Silver Soul Coin.
• Tian Hao sealed the Jade Maiden Skill’s power seed into Tang Yuehua’s Soul Sea, and she left angry after he refused to take back the bedsheet.
• The Second Elder asked whether Tang Yuehua would attend the Soul Master Competition, and Tian Hao explained that her presence would make the Clear Sky Sect hesitate to attack the Banyan Tree Forest.
• Tian Hao planned to conceal Tang Yuehua’s identity, keep her safe after the competition, and eventually persuade her to remain with the Banyan Tree Forest because her Innate Domain aided Mental Power cultivation.
• The Second Elder reported that the elders who had gained Soul Power through special soul rings had reached the Titled Douluo level and stabilized their bodies, though they still struggled to control their Soul Power perfectly.

Tian Hao and the Breaking Clan prepared to wipe out Dream City during its once-in-a-decade festival, using poison and the Golden Banyan Tree Emperor’s Wood Domain to overwhelm its residents. Lin Qianyue’s attack covered the city and incapacitated most of its people, clearing the way for Tian Hao to devour their souls, Martial Souls, and soul rings.

• Tian Hao met Lin Qianyue and the Breaking Clan’s elites in Dream City, where they confirmed that poison had spread through the city and sentries outside had been eliminated.
• Tian Hao revealed the corpse of a Soul Devouring Spider Emperor as preparation for absorbing the many souls he expected to devour.
• Yang Potian promised to stop Tian Hao if the strain became dangerous, while the elders and clansmen took positions around Dream City.
• Lin Qianyue merged his nine soul rings and, with Lin Changjun and Ye Shengyu’s Martial Soul Fusion Skill, transformed his Golden Banyan Tree King into the Golden Banyan Tree Emperor.
• Lin Qianyue released the fused soul ring’s power into the Wood Domain, causing planted seeds to cover Dream City in banyan trees that drained Soul Power.
• The Wood Domain triggered the poison, putting nearly everyone below Soul Sage rank to sleep and severely affecting stronger soul masters.

Tian Hao used the Dream Devouring Soul Space and a coordinated ambush to trap and slaughter everyone in Dream City. As a Titled Douluo tried to escape with his Molten Giant Beast Martial Soul Avatar, four spear-wielding attackers tore it apart and exposed him.

• Tian Hao expanded the Dream Devouring Soul Space over Dream City and used Dream Theft to incapacitate or kill its inhabitants.
• Tian Hao detected spatial-type soul masters and used the Soul Devouring Spider Emperor corpse and Life Tree to filter devoured souls and strengthen the Soul Space.
• Second Elder and his allies killed the trapped soul masters, while Tian Hao’s Soul Space prevented anyone from escaping.
• A Titled Douluo unleashed Molten Purgatory and charged through the banyan trees toward the city wall.
• The Titled Douluo used Molten Armor, but four black-aura attackers pierced and shattered his Molten Giant Beast Martial Soul Avatar with their spears.

Tian Hao and the Breaking Clan subdued an unknown Titled Douluo while plundering Dream City, and Tian Hao proposed transplanting the captive’s martial soul into Second Elder’s injured grandson-in-law. After the clan gathered much of the city’s wealth, the elders asked Tian Hao what to do with the remaining survivors.

• Second Elder and the other elders defeated and captured an unknown Titled Douluo whose martial soul was the Molten Giant Beast.
• Tian Hao learned that Second Elder’s grandson-in-law had a molten martial soul damaged by a Fallen Soul Master, and promised to attempt transplanting the captive’s martial soul into him.
• Tian Hao directed the Breaking Clan to search Dream City and collect hidden treasures revealed by people’s memories.
• Tian Hao finished scanning the city’s Memory Dreamscapes, while the Breaking Clan plundered more than half of Dream City’s wealth.
• Ninth Elder asked Tian Hao what to do with the survivors, including enslaved people, forced prostitutes, and kidnapped children, as the elders pressed for their deaths.

Tian Hao and the others escaped Dream City with a thousand talented captives after concealing their actions and sparing the amnesiac witnesses. Overloaded with spiritual power, Tian Hao returned to the Banyan Tree Forest ahead of the others so the Golden Banyan Tree Emperor could help him stabilize his Dream Devouring Soul Space.

• Tian Hao explained that he had erased the witnesses’ recent memories and that the poison would dissipate without leaving traces.
• Tian Hao signaled the group to leave, and they departed by air with a thousand selected captives while Lin Changjun gathered the remaining Soul Power.
• Tian Hao endured the pressure of the immense Dream Devouring Soul Space and said the Golden Banyan Tree Emperor could help him upon their return.
• Yang Potian sent Snow White Clothes ahead with Tian Hao, while the others used an Illusionary Soul Bone to conceal their escape.
• Snow White Clothes carried Tian Hao back to the Banyan Tree Forest before dawn and landed in the Golden Banyan Tree Emperor’s crown.

After the Golden Banyan Tree Emperor sorted Tian Hao’s enormous Dream Devouring Soul Space, Tian Hao woke and learned that the Mental Power had formed a network across the Banyan Tree Forest while his fused soul bone cracked. He accepted the changes and asked the Emperor to help him compress the Mental Power so he could attempt to form a Spirit Soul Core.

• Tian Hao gave the Nightmare Soul-Devouring Skull to the Golden Banyan Tree Emperor, who took control of the Dream Devouring Soul Space while Tian Hao fell asleep.
• Tian Hao woke after several days to find Meng Yuyan, Lin Changjun, and Ye Shengyu had kept watch over him, and he encouraged the three girls to shape their own futures.
• Meng Yuyan kissed Tian Hao before leaving, while Lin Changjun and Ye Shengyu also departed.
• The Golden Banyan Tree Emperor told Tian Hao that his clones had formed a mental network across the Banyan Tree Forest and that Tian Hao’s fused soul bone had cracked.
• Tian Hao reassured the Emperor that the distributed Mental Power could help protect their home and asked him to compress it for a Spirit Soul Core.
• The Golden Banyan Tree Emperor agreed to try, though he could not promise that Tian Hao’s envisioned Mental Power core would succeed.

Tian Hao worked with the Golden Banyan Tree Emperor to condense a tiny Spirit Soul Core from pure Mental Power. After the core entered his Sea of Consciousness and absorbed spiritual origin, Tian Hao discovered he could control that origin and began forming a spiritual soul ring.

• Tian Hao constructed a complex Mental Power structure for a Spirit Soul Core and merged with the Golden Banyan Tree Emperor to sustain it.
• The Golden Banyan Tree Emperor compressed the structure until it stabilized at the size of an ordinary cell, forming Tian Hao's Spirit Soul Core.
• Tian Hao wondered why the core did not distort space, and the Golden Banyan Tree Emperor suggested bringing it into his Sea of Consciousness.
• The Spirit Soul Core devoured spiritual origin in Tian Hao's Sea of Consciousness, allowing him to control the origin for the first time.
• Tian Hao guided out half of the absorbed spiritual origin and shaped it into a transparent ring using the structure of a soul ring.

Tian Hao formed a Spirit Soul Ring in his Sea of Consciousness and infused it with Seven Kill Sword Intent, drawing thousands of infant soul fragments to his Spirit Soul Core. With the Golden Banyan Tree Emperor’s guidance, he decided to nurture the fragments and agreed to seek help condensing other Soul Cores in the Star Dou Great Forest.

• Tian Hao’s Spirit Soul Core transformed his Mental Power into a white Spirit Soul Ring, which he planned to imbue with a Mental Attribute.
• Tian Hao infused the Spirit Soul Ring with Seven Kill Sword Intent, and thousands of infant soul fragments entered his Sea of Consciousness and resonated with the Spirit Soul Core.
• Tian Hao consulted the Golden Banyan Tree Emperor, who compared the fragments to his independent avatars and advised Tian Hao to nurture them.
• Tian Hao decided to help the soul fragments grow and discussed condensing Soul Power and Blood Essence Soul Cores with the Golden Banyan Tree Emperor.
• The Golden Banyan Tree Emperor offered to bring a seed to the Star Dou Great Forest and ask a Hundred-Thousand-Year animal Soul Beast to help Tian Hao condense a Blood Essence Soul Core.
