Chapter Summaries

Gu Yuena recognized that the Starry Sky Auction House’s Soul Ring Age Enhancement Card involved divine rules and investigated the mysterious fifth-floor room, only to be struck down by the Willow God. After realizing the auction house held power beyond God King level, she urged the Fierce Beasts to gather its treasures and prepare the Soul Beast Clan for future danger.

• Gu Yuena told Di Tian that enhancing an absorbed Soul Ring’s age required the power of rules and suggested a God-tier expert stood behind the Starry Sky Auction House.
• Gu Yuena sensed an inscrutable presence on the fifth floor, and Di Tian confirmed that his Mental Power had failed to penetrate a room there.
• Gu Yuena sent a wisp of divine sense toward the room, but the Willow God’s power overwhelmed her and made her spit blood.
• Gu Yuena warned Di Tian and the other Fierce Beasts that the presence was above God King level, was not native to the Douluo Continent, and had spared her life.
• Gu Yuena concluded that the Starry Sky Auction House could be either an opportunity or a disaster and urged the Soul Beast Clan to obtain its treasures to prepare for future threats.

• Jiang Li duplicated Huo Yuhao’s Spirit Eye and two Soul Rings, astonishing the audience.

Jiang Li revealed the Martial Soul Duplication Mirror’s abilities and limitations before starting its auction, drawing fierce bids from the Soul Masters. In the audience, Huo Yuhao wondered whether his Martial Soul had been taken and transferred, while Tian Meng admitted he had never seen anything like it.

• Jiang Li explained that the mirror could copy a person’s Martial Soul and use their soul skills and Soul Power, then described its weakening side effect, one-hour duration, three-day cooldown, and inability to copy God-tier experts.
• A middle-aged Soul Master asked whether the mirror’s power could overwhelm a weaker user, and Jiang Li explained that the strength gap determined the risk of a prolonged weakened state.

• Huo Yuhao asked Tian Meng what had happened, suspecting that his Martial Soul had been stripped away and transferred to another person.
• Tian Meng told Huo Yuhao that he had never encountered anything like the mirror and shared his shock.

After Huo Yuhao and his companions struggled to understand how the Martial Soul Duplication Mirror copied his Martial Soul and Soul Ring, Zhongli Wu and Jing Hongchen entered the bidding war, each determined to obtain it for his own plans. Jing Hongchen raised the bid to 120 million Gold Soul Coins as the contest for the mirror intensified.

• Jiang Li removed the red cloth covering the fourth auction item and revealed a massive Humanoid Puppet.
• Jiang Li introduced the puppet as an Intermediate Puppet whose tough metal body could withstand attacks from most Titled Douluo Experts.

• The Soul Masters imagined how an army of such puppets could change warfare and decided their factions needed one.
• Jiang Li set the starting bid at 50 million Gold Soul Coins, and the bidding began.

Jing Hongchen fiercely competed with the Body Sect and the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School to buy a puppet with Titled Douluo-level combat strength. His 700-million-Gold-Soul-Coin bid drove most factions away, while the remaining rivals hesitated over whether to continue.

• Bidders drove the puppet's price upward as Jing Hongchen joined the contest, eager to acquire it for Mingde Hall's research.
• Di Tian worried that humans might eventually build puppets capable of threatening Fierce Beasts, but Gu Yuena reasoned that such puppets were likely beyond human technology for now and would not be sold in large numbers.
• After most factions withdrew, Jing Hongchen bid 600 million Gold Soul Coins, prompting Du Busi of the Body Sect and the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School to continue bidding.
• Jing Hongchen raised his bid to 700 million Gold Soul Coins, causing more factions to withdraw and leaving the Body Sect and the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School uncertain about continuing.

• Jiang Li explained how Tang San’s Mysterious Heaven Skill had aided his cultivation and revealed that the final auction item was a top-tier Meditation Mind Method.

Jiang Li presented the incomplete Spirit Devouring Art at auction, explaining that it could devour Soul Power and describing its potential to reshape Douluo Continent. As the major factions considered bidding, Mu En realized the art could threaten the entire continent if it fell into evil hands.

• Jiang Li introduced the Spirit Devouring Art as the auction’s final item and explained that its first level could devour Soul Power to strengthen its user.
• Jiang Li explained that he was auctioning the art to earn Gold Soul Coins and influence Douluo Continent’s future for the sake of gaining Auction Points.
• The representatives of Shrek Academy, the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School, and the Body Sect reacted with surprise and began weighing the art’s dangers.
• Mu En sensed that the Spirit Devouring Art repelled his Light Sacred Dragon Martial Soul and suspected it could devour Martial Souls, Soul Beasts, and Soul Rings.
• Mu En feared that an Evil Soul Master who obtained the art could grow powerful quickly and plunge Douluo Continent into disaster.

Mu En confirmed that the Spirit Devouring Art could consume Soul Power and potentially devour Martial Souls, Soul Rings, and lives, prompting Xuan Zi to condemn the Starry Sky Auction House for auctioning it. Jiang Li suppressed Xuan Zi, defended the auction, and warned that reckless use carried consequences; the auction continued with the crowd in awe of his power.

• Mu En told Xuan Zi that the Spirit Devouring Art could theoretically devour Soul Power from Soul Masters and Soul Beasts, including their Martial Souls and Soul Rings.
• Xuan Zi angrily challenged Jiang Li over the Starry Sky Auction House offering the technique, while Zhongli Wu secretly welcomed the prospect of obtaining it for the Holy Spirit Cult.
• Jiang Li activated the Invincible Domain and pinned Xuan Zi in his seat, then said critics could bid on the art and seal it away themselves.
• Jiang Li warned that the technique's power came with consequences if it was used without restraint, and the assembled experts sensed that his strength surpassed a Limit Douluo's.
• Xuan Zi backed down, and the crowd returned its attention to the Spirit Devouring Art as the auction pavilion remained tense.

The auction for the Spirit Devouring Art became a fierce contest as factions tried to keep it out of the Holy Spirit Cult's hands. After learning it was unsuitable for Soul Beasts, Gu Yuena watched calmly, while Zhongli Wu's bid of 800 million Gold Soul Coins left Shrek Academy unable to continue.

• Jiang Li opened bidding for the Spirit Devouring Art at 100 million Gold Soul Coins, and Zhongli Wu immediately bid that amount for the Holy Spirit Cult.

The copied power began to clash with Zhongli Wu’s evil Martial Soul, leaving the battle unresolved.

• Zhongli Wu activated the Martial Soul Duplication Mirror and targeted Mu En despite Xuan Zi’s attempt to shield him.
• The mirror copied Mu En’s Martial Soul, Soul Rings, and Soul Power Level, giving Zhongli Wu the appearance and aura of a Limit Douluo.

Zhongli Wu told Ye Xishui and Long Xiaoyao that the Spirit Devouring Art could consume objects containing Soul Power, and Ye Xishui ordered a secret trial by loyal Evil Soul Masters. At Shrek Academy, Elder Mu convened the Sea God Pavilion Meeting to decide who should receive their Soul Ring Age Enhancement Card, but the elders disagreed over whether to strengthen young disciples or current powerhouses.

At the Lake of Life, Di Tian and the other Soul Beasts tested a Human Transformation Pill on a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, then allowed the Three-Eyed Golden Lion to take one. She successfully transformed into a human and back again, leaving the group confident that she could conceal her identity from Human Soul Masters.

• Di Tian explained the Human Transformation Pills’ importance, while Bi Ji and Xiong Jun insisted that the group test one before letting the Three-Eyed Golden Lion take it.
