Chapter Summaries

Tian Hao and the Banyan Tree Emperor condensed a stable Soul Power Soul Core, with the Emperor sacrificing half its reserves to help. The new core resonated with Tian Hao’s Spirit Soul Core and improved his cultivation efficiency, while he planned to raise his Soul Power Level before trying to form a Soul Ring.

• Tian Hao discovered that his Spirit Soul Core greatly strengthened his state of enlightenment and began compressing a Soul Power core with the Banyan Tree Emperor.
• The Banyan Tree Emperor sacrificed half its Soul Power origin and reserves to generate enough pressure to stabilize the core, explaining that it trusted Tian Hao to give soul beasts hope.
• Tian Hao proposed turning the sacrificed Soul Power into an external Soul Ring, but the attempt to form a ring around his new core failed.
• Tian Hao brought the cell-sized Soul Power Soul Core into his Soul Sea, merged Innate Pure Yang Boy Qi into it, and decided to try forming a Soul Ring again after reaching Soul Power Level ten.
• The Spirit Soul Core and Soul Power Soul Core resonated, improving Tian Hao’s energy refinement and recovery as he converted recovered Soul Power into Mental Power to strengthen his core and nurture the remnant souls.

Tian Hao successfully created a summoning-type Martial Soul for Zhou Cheng, restoring his ability to advance. He then discussed the Breaking Clan’s covert actions and revealed that the Nightmare Soul Devouring Soul Bone had been ruined.

• The Golden Banyan Tree Emperor formed a blood-colored Soul Ring from its own Soul Power and origin, proving that soul beasts could bear their own Soul Rings.
• Tian Hao fused a Titled Douluo’s Martial Soul with the Molten Giant Beast Martial Soul, refined it through the Life Tree, and transferred its origin to Zhou Cheng’s Molten Martial Soul.
• Zhou Cheng’s Martial Soul became a small, living Molten Giant Beast that he could control, and Tian Hao instructed him to nurture its intelligence and teach it to cultivate.
• Zhou Cheng’s damaged Martial Soul recovered enough for his bottleneck to loosen, and he left with his wife as Second Elder tearfully thanked Tian Hao.
• Second Elder reported that the Breaking Clan’s covert operation had gone as planned and that suspicion had shifted toward spirit-type Soul Masters.
• Tian Hao showed the cracked Nightmare Soul Devouring Soul Bone and said its illusion-space Soul Skill could no longer be used.

Tian Hao fused the Nightmare Soul Devouring Soul Bone into the Soul Devouring Spider Emperor’s corpse, strengthening it into a weapon capable of threatening even Titled Douluo. He then prepared to erase the memories of the rescued children and clan members, but a little girl challenged him by asking what would happen if they refused.

• Tian Hao fused the Nightmare Soul Devouring Soul Bone into the Soul Devouring Spider Emperor’s corpse, stabilizing its Dream Devouring Soul Space and increasing its power.
• Tian Hao told the Breaking Clan to prepare for a trip to the Star Dou Great Forest and to separate their Soul Power soul rings to demonstrate sincerity to the soul beasts.
• Tian Hao assured Yang Potian and the others that he could erase memories safely, then followed them to the underground space where the children and clan members waited.
• Tian Hao told the children he had brought them to the Breaking Clan as family and needed to erase most of their memories to protect them.
• A little girl stepped forward and asked Tian Hao what they could do if they refused.

Tian Hao erased memories and soul rings from the Breaking Clan members and children involved in the Dream City operation to protect their secret and spare the children painful memories. As Spirit Hall resettled Dream City’s survivors, the factions suspected a powerful Fallen Soul Master, unaware that Tian Hao was concealing his involvement.

• The children agreed to have their memories altered after Tian Hao explained that their consciousness and thinking would remain intact, and the Breaking Clan members put them to sleep.
• Tian Hao used the Dream-Entering Secret Art and the Soul Devouring Spider Emperor’s Dream Devouring Soul Space to remove recent memories and extract soul rings from the participants and children.
• Yue Guan stopped a spiritual Soul Master from harming a survivor while Spirit Hall investigated Dream City and began arranging safe homes for the survivors.
• Yue Guan relayed the Grand Worshiper’s claim that the culprit was a Fallen Soul Master and told the factions to investigate among themselves.
• The faction representatives doubted Spirit Hall was responsible and eyed one another suspiciously as they debated who had attacked Dream City.

Faction leaders agreed to rebuild Dream City and investigate its destruction in secret while struggling to respond to the upheavals shaking the continent. Gu Rong and Ning Fengzhi discussed Chen Xin’s injuries, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect’s prospects, and their hopes for Yue at the upcoming Soul Master Competition.

• The faction representatives agreed to restore Dream City, secretly investigate the massacre, and suppress the spread of the Thousand Core Competencies of Martial Soul.
• Gu Rong coughed blood from his lingering injuries, and Ning Fengzhi used the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda to steady him.
• Ning Fengzhi vowed to help Chen Xin recover, while Gu Rong reassured him that Chen Xin would find another path despite losing an arm.
• Gu Rong asked about the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect’s possible Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda legacy, and Ning Fengzhi said he would ask his father.
• Ning Fengzhi worried that Spirit Hall was plotting by moving the Soul Master Competition finals to Spirit City, while Gu Rong expected Yue to impress them at the competition.

Tian Hao tracked Yu Xiaogang to a forest hideout and watched him fume over the backlash against the Thousand Core Competencies of Martial Soul. The chapter left Yu Xiaogang blaming his Martial Soul, Rumbling Sound Cannon, for his failures and beating it with firewood.

• Tian Hao left Yang Potian and the others near a town and slipped into its tavern area to identify the person whose distress he sensed.
• Tian Hao found Yu Xiaogang drinking while Soul Masters mocked him and blamed him for the dangerous Thousand Core Competencies of Martial Soul.
• Yu Xiaogang left the tavern and rode to his secluded forest hut, with Tian Hao following him.
• Yu Xiaogang checked his traps, summoned Rumbling Sound Cannon, and cursed and pelted it with firewood for failing to become the Radiant Holy Dragon.

Tian Hao found Yu Xiaogang beating Rumbling Sound Cannon and persuaded him to accept a chance to obtain a Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul in exchange for leaving Sanpao. He knocked Yu Xiaogang unconscious to begin the process.

• Yu Xiaogang blamed Tian Hao and Rumbling Sound Cannon for ruining his reputation and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
• Tian Hao argued that others were smearing Yu Xiaogang and urged him to keep believing in the Thousand Core Competencies of Martial Soul.
• After Yu Xiaogang expressed hatred for Sanpao, Tian Hao offered to help him obtain a Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul if Sanpao left him.
• Yu Xiaogang agreed, kicked away Sanpao when it pleaded with him, and asked what he needed to do.
• Tian Hao struck Yu Xiaogang on the head with firewood, knocking him unconscious as Sanpao rushed to check on him.

Tian Hao replaced Yu Xiaogang’s martial soul with a Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon origin and took Rumbling Sound Cannon with him. In Tian Hao’s Soul Sea, Rumbling Sound Cannon absorbed dragon powers from the Life Tree and began transforming.

• Tian Hao extracted Rumbling Sound Cannon’s martial soul origin and Yu Xiaogang’s Innate Soul Power, then fused a Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon origin into Yu Xiaogang and awakened it with lightning Soul Power.
• Yu Xiaogang’s body convulsed from rejecting the lightning, but Tian Hao judged that the martial soul could still let him cultivate to the Soul Douluo level.
• Tian Hao restored Rumbling Sound Cannon, removed its soul rings, and told it he would help it grow; it chose to follow him after seeing Yu Xiaogang’s new martial soul.
• Rumbling Sound Cannon entered Tian Hao’s Soul Sea, where the Life Tree’s suppressed dragon powers fused into it, giving it scales, horns, and dragon claws.
• Rumbling Sound Cannon approached the Golden Tree and Angel Holy Light Flower, and the three shared a resonance that hinted their auras might merge.

Tian Hao and his companions found the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger while witnessing a giant rabbit perish under a lightning tribulation. They restrained the tiger to seek its inheritance, while Tian Hao approached the rabbit’s grieving companions with the Golden Banyan Tree Emperor’s seed.

• After searching the Star Dou Great Forest for half a month, Tian Hao decided to rest and search for ten more days before seeking Xiao Wu’s family if they found nothing.
• The group spotted a strange thundercloud and rushed over, where they found a giant rabbit undergoing a lightning tribulation and the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger fighting a rabbit and a woman.
• A purple-tinged bolt destroyed the giant rabbit and its Soul Core, leaving the woman and the other rabbit grieving.
• The Titan Giant Ape and Sky Azure Bull Python arrived, while Yang Potian and the eight elders surrounded the retreating Dark Demon Evil God Tiger with their Soul Breaking Spears.
• Tian Hao told the tiger he wanted the inheritance it carried, then approached the Sky Azure Bull Python with the Golden Banyan Tree Emperor’s seed.

Tian Hao investigated Xiao Wu’s father’s death, discovered that the Life Tree could absorb the destructive power in soul beast tribulations, and secured the beasts’ help with his Soul Core research. He then persuaded the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger to open a spatial passage and entered it, seeking the Evil God King’s inheritance.

• Tian Hao arrived as Xiao Wu’s father had died in a Lightning Tribulation and asked the Golden Banyan Tree Emperor to enlist the beasts’ help with his research.
• The Life Tree absorbed the lightning and destructive power, astonishing the beasts and strengthening Tian Hao’s suspicion that the God Realm was limiting soul beast growth.
• Tian Hao decided to seek the Destruction God King’s favor as protection against the Asura God.
• Xiao Wu’s mother agreed that the beasts would help Tian Hao condense a blood-and-qi Soul Core, though she could not guarantee success.
• The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger agreed to send Tian Hao through a spatial passage, and Yang Potian shattered its protective barrier as the passage opened.
• The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger and Tian Hao were pulled into the vortex while Yang Potian and the others stayed behind.

Tian Hao fought the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger in the Arena of Life and Death after his body was reversed to the age of six, while his consciousness and combat skills remained intact. He defeated the tiger with a painful close-range attack, and the space’s black-clad master appeared to meet him.

• Tian Hao realized that time had reversed his body but not his consciousness, and the arena’s countdown began a fight to the death.
• Tian Hao used his flexible, light-attributed wooden spear to pressure the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, targeting its face and forcing it to flee.
• Tian Hao threw the spear to destroy the tiger’s Dark Demon Evil Thunder, then drew his wooden sword and repeated the tactic until both weapons were destroyed.
• The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger pounced, and Tian Hao slid beneath it and grabbed its vulnerable points, leaving it unable to resist.
• Tian Hao asked Lord Evil God if he had won, and a black figure appeared, praised his combat skills, and admitted the battle had left him speechless.

Tian Hao passed the Evil God King’s trial and impressed him with his views on desire, love, and self-control. The Evil God King denied him the inheritance but offered guidance and a clue about a coming opportunity, then told him to kill the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger.

• The Evil God King told Tian Hao that no one in his plane could bear his God Position, though the Life Tree might attract the attention of Life and Destruction as it grew.
• Tian Hao chose to continue the trial for a better reward, despite the risk of losing his previous reward.
• The Evil God King asked Tian Hao whether love was above desire, and Tian Hao argued that love was one form of desire whose value depended on personal choice and how desire was used.
• Tian Hao said the spiritually strong controlled their desires, and the Evil God King praised his answers and advised him to pursue other divine inheritances and seize an approaching opportunity.
• The Evil God King tossed Tian Hao a bead, told him to kill the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, and vanished; the recovering tiger roared in alarm.

Tian Hao escaped the Life-and-Death Arena, replaced his beast heart, and persuaded the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger to accept the Strength System and stop actively harming humans. Meanwhile, the Life God King sensed his Life Tree and warned that Asura’s schemes in the Dragon God Plane might bring disaster, prompting the Destruction God King to intervene.

• Tian Hao destroyed his own heart to trigger the arena’s exit, then removed the beast heart and let his body regenerate a new one.
• Tian Hao explained why he would not kill the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger and offered to help it cultivate through the Strength System.
• Tian Hao passed the Strength System to the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger on the condition that it would not actively harm humans, and it agreed.
• The Life God King sensed Tian Hao’s Life Tree sapling and told the Destruction God King that he was using it to subdue soul beasts’ Lightning Tribulation power.
• The Life God King warned that Asura’s plans in the Dragon God Plane might bring calamity, and the Destruction God King decided to pursue his own schemes there.

Tian Hao examined the Evil God King's Time Treasure Bead, then helped the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger awaken its suppressed Bright White Tiger bloodline so it could cultivate on its own. The tiger thanked him, and Tian Hao advised it to fuse light and darkness and develop its other attributes.

• Tian Hao confirmed the Time Treasure Bead contained no hidden divine consciousness, refined it, and gained a warning whenever danger approached.
• Tian Hao learned the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger could not cultivate because its Evil God Power suppressed its White Tiger bloodline and repelled other energies.
• Tian Hao proposed removing the tiger's Evil God Hook, and Yang Potian anesthetized it before cutting the hook off its tail.
• Tian Hao used the Golden Tree, Angel Holy Light Flower, and Rumbling Sound Cannon to awaken the tiger's Bright White Tiger bloodline.
• The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger began cultivating light power and thanked Tian Hao, who urged it to fuse light and darkness and incorporate more attributes into its bloodline.

Tian Hao followed the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger to its clan’s burial ground, where he took the first ancestor’s Evil God Hook and used the Life Tree to refine the ancestors’ remains into light and dark origins. After the tiger absorbed them and gained the ability to fly, it crashed during its first attempt.

• The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger led Tian Hao and his companions to a mist-shrouded valley and showed him its clan’s burial cave.
• The tiger offered Tian Hao the first ancestor’s Evil God Hook, and Tian Hao stored the relic in his Spider Necklace.
• Tian Hao used the Life Tree to extract Light Origin from the Bright White Tiger Soul Bones and gave it to the tiger to absorb.
• Tian Hao devoured the valley’s black mist with the Life Tree and gave the refined dark origin to the tiger.
• After absorbing both origins, the tiger grew a feathered wing and gained the ability to fly, but crashed during its first flight.

Tian Hao met Wu Qingcheng and learned that her sealed original blood essence could destroy her human body when she reached level ninety. He proposed using a fusion skill with Xiao Wu to help her safely condense a Blood Essence Soul Ring, and Wu Qingcheng agreed to work with him.

• Tian Hao returned to the Star Dou Great Forest and met Wu Qingcheng, Xiao Wu, Da Ming, and Er Ming to discuss condensing a Blood Essence Soul Core.
• Wu Qingcheng privately asked Tian Hao whether he was Ah Yin’s younger brother, and he confirmed that Ah Yin had mistaken him for dead.
• Wu Qingcheng agreed to help Tian Hao with his cultivation after learning that he had earned Ah Yin’s and the Banyan Tree Emperor’s trust.
• Tian Hao offered to help Wu Qingcheng draw out her original blood essence and form a Blood Essence Soul Ring.
• Wu Qingcheng explained that her human body could not withstand her original blood essence and that it would dissipate when she reached level ninety.
• Tian Hao proposed using a martial soul–Soul Beast Fusion Skill with Xiao Wu so she could temporarily bear Wu Qingcheng’s blood essence while Wu Qingcheng condensed her Soul Ring.

Tian Hao helped Wu Qingcheng and Xiao Wu merge their powers so Wu Qingcheng could awaken her hidden bloodline and condense powerful Blood Essence Soul Rings. He taught Wu Qingcheng Lingbo Weibu, while she recognized him as an unusual human and a possible hope for Soul Beasts.

• Tian Hao guided Wu Qingcheng and Xiao Wu through a Martial Soul Fusion Skill, then took control of their bodies to direct Wu Qingcheng's cultivation.
• Wu Qingcheng's suppressed Prenatal Blood Essence emerged and fused with her Postnatal Blood Essence, forming a crimson Blood Essence Soul Ring and raising her Soul Power to the level ninety bottleneck.
• Wu Qingcheng revealed that she and Xiao Wu were Jade Rabbits, and Tian Hao connected their strong mental abilities to their bloodline.
• Wu Qingcheng said she needed time to adapt before condensing her Blood Essence Soul Core, so Tian Hao taught her the body technique Lingbo Weibu.
• Wu Qingcheng recognized Lingbo Weibu's potential and judged Tian Hao to be an unusual human and a hope for Soul Beasts.

Wu Qingcheng trained in the dance-like Lingbo Weibu while Tian Hao tested her with increasingly dangerous attacks. She adapted to his assault but ultimately relied on Invincible Golden Body to survive his spear thrust, then hurried ashore to change clothes.

• Wu Qingcheng practiced Lingbo Weibu on the lake as the elders admired her dance and discussed finding Tian Hao a wife.
• Tian Hao attacked Wu Qingcheng with claw strikes, helping her improve her footwork as Xiao Wu watched.
• Tian Hao escalated to dual swords, and Wu Qingcheng adapted to the pressure despite several cuts in her clothes.
• Tian Hao attacked with the nine-colored Ancestor's Spear and the Nine Strikes of the Broken Army, forcing Wu Qingcheng to use Invincible Golden Body.
• Wu Qingcheng conceded defeat and changed clothes behind Xiao Wu, while Tian Hao marveled at the toughness of her soul skill.

Tian Hao forged Wu Qingcheng two enormous battle axes and began condensing his Blood Essence Soul Core with help from Wu Qingcheng, Xiao Wu, Da Ming, and Er Ming. The three Soul Cores stabilized through rhythmic resonance, leaving Tian Hao considering how to turn the process into a cultivation method others could learn.

• Tian Hao forged Wu Qingcheng two thousand-jin Tungsten Steel battle axes with the Shockwave Special Effect, and she reluctantly accepted them.
• Er Ming asked for a weapon, so Tian Hao offered to teach him the Shockwave Secret Method and Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer so he could forge his own.
• Tian Hao worried that the Asura God was manipulating events around Tang San and planned to treat his trip to the City of Slaughter as another test.
• Wu Qingcheng, Xiao Wu, Da Ming, and Er Ming fused with Tian Hao, letting him compress his Blood Essence Soul Core with their combined power.
• Tian Hao used resonance among his three Soul Cores to stabilize them, then realized the process might form the basis of a widely usable Soul Core Condensation Method.

Tian Hao tested a three-core resonance method with Wu Qingcheng, creating three embryonic Soul Cores and warning her that any imbalance could make them explode. He left the Star Dou Great Forest for the Soul Master Competition, while Wu Qingcheng warned Xiao Wu, Da Ming, and Er Ming that he was the only human they could trust.

• Tian Hao and Wu Qingcheng resonated embryonic Spirit, Soul Power, and blood-and-qi Soul Cores, then he explained that the method required immense energy and constant balance.
• The Second Elder reported that the three Qianjun Ant Emperors remained hidden underground, and Tian Hao decided their captured leg was enough for research.
• Tian Hao warned Wu Qingcheng to educate Xiao Wu, and Xiao Wu kicked him into the forest before he departed with Yang Potian and the others.
• Wu Qingcheng told Xiao Wu, Da Ming, and Er Ming to trust no human but Tian Hao, while Xiao Wu grew curious about the Soul Master Competition.
