• Yang Wudi erupted in fury over the Clear Sky Sect’s attack on the Breaking Clan, then calmed down and listened to Taichu.

Taichu returned to the Star Dou Forest to obtain his Seventh Soul Ring, and learned that Xiong Jun had chosen to sacrifice himself to him. Taichu accepted the beasts’ condition that he resurrect Xiong Jun and help him become a god, and Xiong Jun began the sacrifice.

• Di Tian explained that Xiong Jun’s sacrifice depended on Taichu resurrecting him and helping him become a god in the future.
• Taichu agreed to the condition and promised to keep his word.
• Xiong Jun told Taichu not to disappoint him, then began his sacrifice.

• The ferocious beasts turned to Taichu as he faced Di Tian's conditions.

Taichu absorbed Xiong Jun’s four-hundred-thousand-year Dark Gold Terrorclaw Torso Bone, and his mutated Soul Core gained golden patterns as his strength increased. He reached Rank 80, though his martial soul still did not evolve into the Rinnegan, and he looked ahead to absorbing the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm as his Ninth Soul Ring.

• Di Tian questioned why Taichu had only reached Level 76 after absorbing Xiong Jun’s Soul Ring, and Taichu declined to explain the Soul Core’s mutation.
• Di Tian gave Taichu Xiong Jun’s four-hundred-thousand-year Dark Gold Terrorclaw Torso Bone, which Taichu began absorbing.
• As Taichu refined the Soul Bone’s energy, his Soul Core developed three golden patterns.
• Taichu’s Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan briefly appeared to change into the Rinnegan, but the transformation failed to last.
• Taichu finished absorbing the Soul Bone, considered the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm for his Ninth Soul Ring, and reached Rank 80.

Taichu began absorbing the four-hundred-thousand-year Dark Gold Terrorclaw Torso Bone, expecting its power to help him reach level 80 and strengthen him for his trip to the Clear Sky Sect. As he refined its energy, his soul core began to change again.

• Taichu assessed the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Torso Bone and felt confident after gaining his Seventh Soul Ring.
• Taichu sat down and began absorbing the soul bone.
• The soul bone melted into Taichu's body, releasing immense energy that strained his meridians.
• Taichu refined the energy into soul power, and his soul core underwent another tiny change.

Taichu pushed his eighth God-Bestowed Soul Ring past his physical limits, reaching an age of over eight hundred thousand years before the ring stopped advancing. He rose to level 86 and discovered that his Soul Core had changed, leaving him stronger but still four levels short of Titled Douluo.

• Taichu continued absorbing the God-Bestowed Soul Ring as its golden patterns formed, raising its age toward seven hundred thousand years.
• As the strain pushed his body to its limit, Taichu began bleeding but refused to stop, knowing Gu Yue Na had spent considerable power creating the ring.
• A force surged through Taichu after something seemed to shatter inside him, rapidly restoring his body as the Soul Ring advanced past eight hundred thousand years.
• Taichu failed to push the Soul Ring to nine hundred thousand years, and it settled at over eight hundred thousand years, the limit he could endure.
• The Soul Ring raised Taichu's Soul Power to level 86, while his Soul Core absorbed some of its energy and gained seven golden patterns.

Taichu wondered whether his evolving Soul Core might eventually become a God Core and realized its Soul Power might already rival that of a Super Douluo. When he opened his eyes, Di Tian and the other Ferocious Beasts recoiled in horror, leaving Taichu to discover what had changed.

• Taichu considered whether his Soul Core's seven golden markings could eventually lead it toward divinity.
• Taichu sensed that his Soul Core's evolution had greatly improved the quality of his Soul Power, possibly raising it to the level of a Super Douluo.
• Taichu stood and opened his eyes, prompting Di Tian and the other Ferocious Beasts to retreat in alarm.
• Taichu asked Di Tian what was wrong with his eyes, and Di Tian told him to look for himself.
• Taichu took a mirror from his Soul Tool.

Taichu returned from the Star Dou Forest after absorbing his eighth Soul Ring and reaching level 86. He told Dugu Bo and Yang Wudi about his extraordinary harvest, leaving them stunned by the age of his Soul Rings and Soul Bone.

• Di Tian gave Taichu a Dragon Scale for protection and swiftly took him back to Dugu Bo and Yang Wudi.
• Dugu Bo and Yang Wudi saw Taichu's level 86 Soul Power and were shocked that he had already absorbed an eighth Soul Ring.
• Dugu Bo thanked Di Tian for helping Taichu, and Di Tian replied that they were merely cooperating before leaving.
• Taichu explained Di Tian's cold demeanor to Dugu Bo, who remarked that Taichu had been given many opportunities.
• Taichu revealed that he had gained a Soul Bone over four hundred thousand years old, a Soul Ring over four hundred thousand years old, and a Soul Ring over eight hundred thousand years old, stunning Dugu Bo and Yang Wudi.

Taichu showed Dugu Bo and Yang Wudi his Soul Rings and explained how their golden markings revealed the ages of the soul beasts that produced them. The two experts were left stunned by what they had learned.

• Dugu Bo questioned whether Taichu was telling the truth about soul beasts older than four hundred thousand years.
• Taichu released his eight Soul Rings, shocking Dugu Bo and Yang Wudi with their configuration.
• Dugu Bo and Yang Wudi noticed the prominent golden bands on Taichu’s two final Soul Rings.
• Taichu explained that Hundred Thousand Year Soul Rings gained solidified golden bands after their soul beasts passed heavenly tribulations, with another band for each additional hundred thousand years.
• Dugu Bo and Yang Wudi realized they had never heard of this way to determine a Soul Ring’s age.

Taichu, Qian Renxue, and Ning Fengzhi assembled their forces to surround the Clear Sky Sect and prepare to destroy it. With the sect encircled, Taichu ordered the attack to begin.

• Qian Renxue brought nearly three thousand Heaven Dou soldiers and Soul Masters, while Ning Fengzhi arrived with Chen Xin and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's forces.
