Chapter Summaries

Chen Ming swore before the laws of the universe not to threaten Douluo Star or reveal the Douluo Hall subspace for three hundred standard years, at a cost of one percent of the power stored in the Douluo Hall plane. The Angel God then offered to adjust his Second Martial Soul.

• Chen Ming agreed to the Angel God's terms and followed her to the Golden Ancient Tree.
• The Angel God used the Golden Ancient Tree's power to bring their consciousnesses before the Cosmic Origin.
• Chen Ming swore his three-hundred-year oath under the witness of the universe's laws.
• The Angel God told Chen Ming the oath had consumed one percent of the Douluo Hall plane's accumulated power.
• The Angel God transformed into the Three-Eyed Golden Lion and asked Chen Ming what Second Martial Soul he wanted.

Chen Ming asked the Angel God to create a Second Martial Soul by combining Golden Dragon and Silver Dragon bloodlines, but she explained that she could not truly fuse them. His collection of treasures included Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well spring water bearing fused Dragon King powers, which gave the Angel God a path toward recreating the Dragon God's power.

• Chen Ming asked whether his Second Martial Soul could be a Six-Winged Angel, and the Angel God explained that she could create a similar Martial Soul but not one capable of inheriting her Divine Throne.
• Chen Ming proposed combining Golden Dragon and Silver Dragon bloodlines, but the Angel God said she could only make one bloodline primary and the other supportive.
• Chen Ming brought out treasures from his collection, including spirit herbs, Soul Bones, Medusa-related artifacts, and materials from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
• The Angel God recognized that the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well spring water contained fused powers from the Water and Fire Dragon Kings, with a trace of Earth Dragon power.
• The Angel God concluded that the fused Dragon King powers could help her recreate the Dragon God's power within five thousand years.

Angel God prepared to experiment with combining dragon bloodlines while Chen Ming cultivated and received combat advice from ancient Titled Douluo. The seniors offered to teach him their signature Battle Skills and, finally, the Seven-Colored Lotus Martial Soul Master proposed teaching him an Elemental Domain.

• Chen Ming reminded Angel God of his three-day agreement with Qian Daoliu, so Angel God enchanted the Angel Sacred Sword to let Six-winged Angel Martial Soul users contact him and invited Chen Ming to stay.
• Angel God brought the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well's spring water and mud into the Golden Ancient Tree to test whether the fusion could work on golden and silver dragon bloodlines, while Chen Ming cultivated nearby.
• Five ancient Titled Douluo gathered around Chen Ming, assessed his combat weaknesses, and offered him their inherited or self-created Battle Skills.
• The Seven-Colored Lotus Martial Soul Master recounted how backlash from trying to create a Nine-Colored Lotus left him vulnerable to the Golden-eyed Black Dragon, which shattered his Martial Soul origin.
• The Seven-Colored Lotus Martial Soul Master offered to teach Chen Ming his Elemental Domain, which controlled nine elements, including space and time.

Chen Ming watched the Seven-Colored Lotus Soul Master demonstrate his Elemental Domain, which let him control and combine nine elements, before four fellow Soul Masters disrupted it by taking control of several elements. The group then showed Chen Ming their inherited Battle Skills, leaving him impressed but composed.

• The Seven-Colored Lotus Soul Master displayed his Elemental Domain and demonstrated how he manipulated, suppressed, and combined elemental powers.
• The ancestor of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, the Fire Phoenix Soul Master, the Blazing Lion King Soul Master, and the Mountain Splitting Axe Soul Master each seized control of elements, breaking the domain's balance.
• The Seven-Colored Lotus Soul Master explained that he could match most of the group one-on-one, though the ancestor of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan was stronger and Mighty Lion was weaker.
• The Soul Masters took turns demonstrating their Battle Skills and explained their value to Martial Soul legacies and future generations.
• Chen Ming admired the powerful techniques and their principles but stayed calm and did not let his interest overcome his judgment.

Chen Ming agreed to investigate what had happened to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and explained why phoenixes were scarce on Douluo Continent. The Fire Phoenix soul master then promised to teach him Phoenix Dance of Nine Heavens.

• The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon ancestor asked Chen Ming to find out why none of his clan's Titled Douluo had entered Douluo Hall, despite the clan flourishing.
• Chen Ming agreed to gather information about the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan for the ancestor.
• The Fire Phoenix soul master asked Chen Ming why phoenix bloodlines weakened and true phoenixes were absent from Douluo Continent.
• Chen Ming said the Dragon God had fought the Phoenix God and that the phoenix race might have been purged as a result.
• The Fire Phoenix soul master accepted that her lineage had been targeted and promised to teach Chen Ming Phoenix Dance of Nine Heavens.

Chen Ming heard the seniors’ requests to use their techniques against Bear Lord and the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King, and promised to try when he was strong enough. The seniors then advised him to learn from their skills without letting their paths limit his own.

• The Mountain Splitting Axe soul master told Chen Ming how he had failed to find Bear Lord and asked him to deliver an axe strike on his behalf.
• Chen Ming revealed that Bear Lord and a plant-type ferocious beast had once besieged him, and promised to settle the score someday.
• The Seven-Colored Lotus soul master asked Chen Ming to use his Elemental Domain against the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King, and Chen Ming said he would try after becoming stronger.
• The seniors warned Chen Ming to learn their techniques without treating their paths as his own.
• The Fire Phoenix soul master, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon ancestor, and the Mountain Splitting Axe soul master urged Chen Ming to forge a path that could surpass theirs.

Chen Ming learned and adapted several seniors’ Battle Skills, drawing on his elemental understanding and powers to create techniques suited to himself. After developing Sevenfold Judgment, he studied the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon ancestor’s technique and created Evil-Breaking Claw, leaving the seniors impressed by its effectiveness against Evil Soul Masters.

• Chen Ming grasped the basics of the Seven-Colored Lotus Soul Master's Elemental Domain in a little over two days and graduated from his tutelage by the third day.
• Chen Ming learned the Mountain Splitting Axe Soul Master's Heaven Splitting Strike and version of Exploding Ring, then stopped studying Phoenix Dance of Nine Heavens after learning only half because its phoenix-specific traits did not suit him.
• Chen Ming adapted the Blazing Lion King Soul Master's Hellfire Ninefold Strike with elements of Phoenix Dance of Nine Heavens and the Angel God's swordsmanship, creating the seven-move, triple-attribute Battle Skill Sevenfold Judgment.
• Chen Ming studied the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon ancestor's Dragon Roams the World and converted light into Sacred Lightning using the Golden Ancient Tree's power.
• Chen Ming combined Sacred Lightning with the Power of Judgment and evil-suppressing traits from his Head Soul Bone skill to create Evil-Breaking Claw, which impressed the seniors with its power against Evil Soul Masters.

The Angel God reported that she could create a hybrid dragon Second Martial Soul, but Chen Ming chose to use his bonded shortsword as its core instead. After confirming the sword could bear a Martial Soul, they named it the Dragon Ascending Sword, and the Angel God teased Chen Ming about becoming the God of Dragon Ascending.

• The Angel God explained that an Earth Dragon base mixed with Ice and Fire Dragon King blood could help Golden Dragon and Silver Dragon bloodlines fuse, though the resulting Martial Soul would be an uncertain seed.
• Chen Ming considered his Second Martial Soul and decided that a weapon would better complement his Scorpion Emperor First Martial Soul.
• Chen Ming asked the Angel God to use his bonded golden shortsword as the core of his Second Martial Soul and imbue it with dragon power.
• The Angel God examined the shortsword, judged it capable of bearing a Martial Soul, and returned it to Chen Ming.
• Chen Ming named the weapon the Dragon Ascending Sword, and the Angel God mocked him by suggesting he might become the God of Dragon Ascending.

Chen Ming underwent a transformation of his Dragon Ascending Sword with the Angel God’s help, using the Golden Ancient Tree’s origin, dragon powers, and his own life force. The sword became a divine artifact and an independent second body, leaving Chen Ming with an External Incarnation.

• Chen Ming agreed to raise the Dragon Ascending Sword while the Angel God performed a partial sacrifice using the Auspicious Beast’s origin and the Golden Ancient Tree’s Immortal Spirit Qi.
• The Golden Ancient Tree’s elemental energies and dragon powers entered the sword, transforming its shape and turning it into Chen Ming’s second Martial Soul.
• Chen Ming activated both skills of his Sixth Soul Ring and infused the sword with his own life force, while the Angel God supplied more than three percent of the tree’s accumulated energy.
• The Dragon Ascending Sword became a divine artifact, transformed into a golden four-clawed dragon, and then took the form of a young man resembling Chen Ming.
• Chen Ming and his new second body laughed together as the sword became an independent External Incarnation.

Chen Ming created an External Incarnation from his Second Martial Soul, fused with it to attain god-level strength, and controlled the elements with near-limitless Soul Power. He then condensed a growing Natal Soul Ring, whose potential the Angel God recognized as exceptional despite its costs.

• The Angel God realized Chen Ming’s Second Martial Soul could become a powerful weapon, dragon, or second body and envied the possibility it offered.
• Chen Ming merged with his External Incarnation, forming a divine body capable of confronting God Officials and resisting stronger gods.
• Chen Ming formed an Elemental Domain and controlled numerous elements, including time and space, while his Silver Dragon bloodline and Soul Cores let him recover nearly all the Soul Power he spent.
• Chen Ming used his bloodline and spirituality to create a Natal Soul Ring for his External Incarnation, which grew to crimson with a golden line.
• The Angel God explained that the Natal Soul Ring drew on Chen Ming’s own foundation and could weaken its creator at first, but would grow with him and potentially surpass a God-Bestowed Soul Ring in long-term value.

The Angel God studied Chen Ming’s Natal Soul Ring and condensed one of her own to investigate its potential for Soul Masters. She then asked Chen Ming to demonstrate his Second Martial Soul, and the chapter ended with her destroying his ice dragon attack in their spar.

• The Angel God examined Chen Ming’s Natal Soul Ring and explained how rare such rings were.
• The Angel God condensed a Natal Soul Ring of her own, raised it from white to red, and planned to absorb it back after studying it.
• The Angel God challenged Chen Ming to fight while limiting herself to one percent of her strength.
• Chen Ming used Elemental Domain and Mystic Ice Dragon Soars to attack the Three-Eyed Golden Lion with extreme ice.
• The Angel God’s divine claw strike melted and destroyed the ice dragon, and Chen Ming called out, “Ice Fire Fusion!”

Chen Ming used his Elemental Domain and bizarre tactics to turn the Angel God's elemental advantage against her, then forced her to crash into the Golden Ancient Tree. After healing and taking humanoid form, the Angel God began using her Divine Skills, and Chen Ming answered with a powerful dragon-form blast.

• Chen Ming twisted the Elemental Domain's rules so the Angel God's fire, light, and holiness amplified his ice, allowing his ice dragons to halt and briefly suppress her.
• The Angel God shattered the ice dragons and used the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's strength to charge Chen Ming, reaching the level of a Limit Douluo despite restricting her power.
• Chen Ming redirected space and gravity, causing the Angel God's charge to veer into the Golden Ancient Tree and injure her.
• The Angel God healed herself, transformed into a blonde, winged woman, and warned Chen Ming before swinging an Angel Sacred Sword that could cut through elements.
• Chen Ming transformed into a massive azure dragon and fired a destructive beam at the Angel God with his Destructive Blast Gale Bullet.

Chen Ming defeated the Angel God in a sparring match, and she explained how the burdens of godhood had changed her strength and will. She warned him that a Super Divine Artifact could still threaten him, though Douluo Continent was unlikely to produce one.

• The Angel God split Chen Ming's Destructive Blast Gale Bullet, charged him, and shattered her sword against his dragon form before being knocked into the Golden Ancient Tree.
• The Angel God admitted that Titled Douluo-level power could not seriously threaten Chen Ming and recovered using the Golden Ancient Tree's power.
• The Angel God described how her resolve had peaked when she fought the Auspicious Beast and how becoming a god brought responsibilities and lasting regrets.
• The Angel God urged Chen Ming not to let the path to godhood leave him with regrets and said that few threats on the continent could kill him.
• Chen Ming asked about Super Divine Artifacts, and the Angel God explained that one could fatally damage his fused form but was beyond Douluo Continent's ability to nurture.

Chen Ming questioned the Angel God about the Sea God and Rakshasa God, learning their histories and the Angel God's suspicions about Rakshasa's origins. Before leaving Douluo Hall, he asked her to review his cultivation method, and she provided a simpler version along with insights and techniques.

• The Angel God explained that the Sea God had contested her influence on the continent but that they were not mortal enemies.
• The Angel God described the Rakshasa God as the culmination of generations of hatred and suspected that her Divine Throne contained power the Angel God had stripped away.
• The Angel God warned Chen Ming that remaining in Douluo Hall risked exposing the God of Destruction's Divine Trial and advised him to develop his Second Martial Soul.
• Chen Ming asked the Angel God about God-Bestowed Soul Rings, Martial Soul modification, and his new Cultivation Method.
• The Angel God said Chen Ming's method could speed cultivation but demanded too much Spiritual Power, then gave him a simpler introductory version, cultivation insights, and techniques.

Chen Ming gave the Angel God his cultivation and Spiritual Power methods, and she refined them into more complete versions that could be widely shared. When he showed her two unfinished meditation methods with the potential to grant extraordinary abilities, she recognized that they could transform Soul Master cultivation beyond its existing foundations.

• The Angel God sent Chen Ming a detailed version 2.0 of his Basic Internal Cultivation Method, with guidance for different Martial Souls and cultivation stages.
• Chen Ming gave the Angel God his Crystal Ball Meditation Method, and she quickly developed an optimized version 2.0.
• Chen Ming shared his remaining ideas, and the Angel God expanded them into improved body-tempering, Soul Core, and elemental theories.
• Chen Ming presented the unfinished Star Refining God Method and Seven Treasures Contemplation Method, which used starlight and visualization to strengthen Spiritual Power.
• The Angel God recognized that the two methods could grant Soul Masters extraordinary abilities and carry implications beyond improving Martial Souls.

Chen Ming worked with the Angel God and awakened soul masters to turn his unfinished meditation concepts into practical cultivation methods. The month-long collaboration advanced several methods, while Chen Ming left with only limited knowledge of Soul Tools.

• The Angel God gathered star-type Titled Douluo, a Peerless Douluo, and a Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda soul master beneath the Golden Ancient Tree to help refine Chen Ming's meditation methods.
• Chen Ming studied the gathered soul masters' Martial Souls and experiences, completing the Star Meditation Method and developing the Four Spirits Meditation Method.
• After learning how the White Tiger Martial Soul could resonate with the stars, Chen Ming finalized the Azure Dragon Meditation with help from the Dragon Pill, his Second Martial Soul, and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan ancestor.
• Chen Ming found that studying the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda offered little help with his envisioned Seven Treasures Contemplation Method.
• Over a month, Chen Ming developed practical cultivation methods from his ideas and began forming the Twenty-Four Solar Terms Divine Art, but learned only third-level Soul Tool techniques.

After learning what he could about Soul Tool Technology, Chen Ming left the Angel God’s space and returned to Douluo Hall with a task for her successor. The Angel God’s guidance transformed Qian Daoliu’s spiritual power and strengthened his Angel Martial Soul, and Qian Daoliu brought Chen Ming to meet an anxious blond man.

• Chen Ming’s Soul Power rose from level sixty-three to level sixty-five as he learned a dozen Soul Tool arrays from a Titled Douluo.
• The Angel God sent Chen Ming out of Douluo Hall and asked him to give her successor a pendant containing her Divine Will.
• Qian Daoliu received the Angel God’s message, learned that she approved of free love, and thanked Chen Ming for helping him contact her.
• The Angel God guided Qian Daoliu into a new state of enlightenment, transforming his Spiritual Power into Divine Will and reshaping his Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul.
• Qian Daoliu led Chen Ming into a quiet room, where an anxious blond middle-aged man greeted them with delight.

Golden Crocodile Douluo broke through to Peerless Douluo after the Angel God's Divine Will restored his body and guided his Martial Soul's evolution. As Chen Ming, Qian Daoliu, and Golden Crocodile planned for the future, Spirit Hall's revealed strength drew powerful visitors and gifts from across the continent.

• Golden Crocodile Douluo thanked Chen Ming for the battle and miracle that helped him reach Peerless Douluo, with his Golden Crocodile King evolving into the Golden Crocodile Dragon.
• Qian Daoliu, Golden Crocodile Douluo, and Chen Ming met with the Angel God's Divine Will, which pretended to drink tea before joining their discussion through a mind-linked chat group.
• The Angel God's Divine Will told Qian Daoliu and Golden Crocodile Douluo that a God King had planted a pawn on Douluo Continent, and that the best time to act would be after it matured and left the continent but before it ascended.
• Qian Daoliu explained that Ning Fengzhi had brought generous gifts to Spirit Hall and that Yu Yuanzhen, Yu Luomian, the two empires' crown princes, and leaders of the Lower Four Sects had also come to Spirit City.
• Spirit Hall's revealed forces—including its Super Douluo, Titled Douluo, and Angel Legion—made former critics view it as benevolent and left the two empires unable to challenge its power.

Chen Ming, Qian Daoliu, Golden Crocodile Douluo, and Angel God's Divine Will discussed Spirit Hall's past and future plans, including countering the Rebellious Child of Destiny. Afterward, Chen Ming met Lou Gao in a secret chamber, where Golden Crocodile Douluo left them alone with a piece of resonant metal.

• Chen Ming told Qian Daoliu that Angel God had given him a pendant for Qian Renxue, and Qian Daoliu encouraged him to deliver it in person.
• Qian Daoliu recounted Qian Xunji's past, prompting Angel God's Divine Will to suspect Asura God had manipulated him and to order an account of his actions as Pope.
• Chen Ming and the others planned Spirit Hall's future, including using the Continental High-level Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament to slow the Rebellious Child of Destiny's rise.
• After a day and night of discussion, Qian Daoliu handled Spirit Hall's affairs while Golden Crocodile Douluo led the worshippers into cultivation under Angel God's guidance.
• Chen Ming and Golden Crocodile Douluo visited Lou Gao as he forged metal, and Golden Crocodile Douluo left with a piece that resonated with him, leaving Chen Ming and Lou Gao to talk.

Chen Ming reunited with Lou Gao and learned that his Soul Power had reached level 85 and his Martial Soul had evolved after gaining powerful Soul Bones and a Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear Soul Ring. Chen Ming encouraged Lou Gao to pursue the God of Forging’s succession while continuing to train, then left and found Golden Crocodile Douluo testing Spirit Forged metal against his arm.

• Lou Gao thanked Chen Ming for his many past favors and reported that he had reached level 85, gained an eighth Soul Ring, and evolved his Diamond Chisel into a top-tier Martial Soul.
• Chen Ming told Lou Gao that he had recommended him as a possible successor to the God of Forging, while warning that a Divine Trial might not come for years or decades.
• Lou Gao vowed to keep improving both his forging and Soul Power, estimating that he could become a Titled Douluo within five years and a divine craftsman within another ten.
• Chen Ming left the secret chamber to attend to other matters and saw Golden Crocodile Douluo testing a piece of Spirit Forged metal that seemed unable to merge with his right arm.
