Chapter Summaries

Tang San exposed Qian Renxue’s disguise and forced her to flee the Heaven Dou Empire, whereupon she completed the Angel God Trial and became a god. Fixated on killing Tang San, Qian Renxue tracked him down, and he prepared to use the Tang Sect’s greatest hidden weapon against her.

• Tang San exposed Qian Renxue as the Spirit Hall Holy Maiden in Xue Ye’s bedchamber, and she attacked him with the Angel Holy Sword.

• After becoming the Angel God, Qian Renxue focused on Tang San and used her divine sense to find and pursue him.
• Tang San stopped fleeing and concentrated his remaining Soul Power to unleash the Tang Sect’s strongest hidden weapon.

Di Tian entered the Simulated God Realm after Tang San defeated Qian Renxue and Bibi Dong, hoping to claim a shattered divine position. He appeared before the powerless Qian Renxue and demanded her divinity, leaving their confrontation unresolved.

• Di Tian appeared before Qian Renxue and introduced himself as Xiong Jun, claiming he had come to take her divine position.
• Di Tian demanded that Qian Renxue hand over her divine position.

Di Tian revealed that he had been manipulating Qian Renxue and demanded the shattered Angel God Position, but she refused and tried to destroy them both by detonating it. Di Tian stopped her at the last moment, while Qian Renxue remained resolute and strangely relieved.

• Di Tian used Dragon King Claw and Teleportation to reach Qian Renxue and stop her from detonating the God Position.

Qian Renxue used her remaining life force to bind Di Tian with a shattered Angel Domain, but he broke free and took her Angel God Position. Di Tian’s use of his full Darkness Origin Power drew the attention of the First Generation Asura, whose Divine Sense descended to the valley as Di Tian sensed mortal danger.

• Qian Renxue unleashed a failing Angel Domain and sacred runes that bound and burned Di Tian, exposing his Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King nature.

• Di Tian’s full release of Darkness Origin Power alerted the First Generation Asura in the God Realm, who descended to Douluo Continent as a strand of Divine Thought.
• Di Tian sensed the Asura Divine Sense and realized he was in mortal danger.

Di Tian escaped the Asura God’s attack by withdrawing from the Simulation World, but the divine punishment devastated the valley and killed Qian Renxue. The Asura God then descended upon the Star Dou Great Forest, where the real Di Tian awoke to face him, unaware of the simulation’s role in the crisis.

• The Asura God ordered Di Tian to face him, awakening the real Di Tian beside Life Lake.
• The real Di Tian mistook the Asura God’s arrival for a threat to the soul beasts, while the simulated Di Tian remained unaware that another Di Tian had been blamed.

Asura God descended on the Star Dou Great Forest and accused Di Tian of stealing the Angel God Remains. After searching the forest and finding no trace of the Godhood on Di Tian, Asura God began to suspect Xiong Jun instead.

• Asura God appeared above Life Lake and demanded that Di Tian hand over the stolen Angel God Remains and submit to execution.
• Di Tian denied taking the Angel God Position and protested that Qian Renxue’s death had nothing to do with him.

• Asura God reconsidered Di Tian’s guilt after finding no proof and recalling the Dragon God’s final request to spare the Dragon Clan.
• Asura God remembered the claim that the culprit was Beast God Xiong Jun and turned his gaze toward Xiong Jun’s territory.

• The Asura God warned Di Tian to control Xiong Jun and then left the Star Dou Great Forest.
• Di Tian condemned the God Realm and swore to remember Xiong Jun's death and seek vengeance.

Di Tian escaped the simulation after the First Generation Asura killed Xiong Jun, then sent Wan Yao Wang away after hearing his report. At Clear Sky Sect, Xiong Jun discovered that forging metal gave him an unfamiliar sense of smoothness, leaving him intrigued by the craft.

• Di Tian saw that the simulation had ended with Xiong Jun's death and recorded the name in his notebook.
• Wan Yao Wang reported on the day's work and the Immortal Herbs, and Di Tian dismissed him.
• Xiong Jun hammered metal in Clear Sky Sect's workshop, alarming the human blacksmiths with his immense strength.
• Xiong Jun recalled how Di Tian had sent him to learn human forging and how he had initially resented the order.
• After hammering Star Pattern Steel with all his strength, Xiong Jun felt an unprecedented smoothness in his path.

Xiong Jun discovered that forging accelerated his Soul Power and helped loosen his cultivation bottleneck, so he threw himself into the craft. He left the chapter determined to become the Beast God and make Di Tian forge for him.

• While forging, Xiong Jun felt his Soul Power surge and his cultivation bottleneck loosen.
• Xiong Jun realized forging stimulated his cultivation and began studying the craft, quickly improving his skills.
• Xiong Jun decided forging was a shortcut to becoming stronger and imagined surpassing Di Tian to become the new Beast God.
• Xiong Jun laughed aloud at the thought of ordering Di Tian to forge, startling a Clear Sky Sect disciple.
• Xiong Jun resumed hammering metal with renewed ambition and precision.

Tang San lost his ability to perceive Douluo Continent and sensed Da Ming and Er Ming’s divine origins collapsing, prompting him to force his will toward the Clear Sky Sect. There, Xiong Jun’s forging was interrupted by the arrival of a God King’s overwhelming pressure.

• Tang San failed to pierce the force repelling his Divine Thought from Douluo Continent and worried about the God of Destruction’s scrutiny.
• The Faith Crystals linked to Da Ming and Er Ming cracked and dimmed, leading Tang San to suspect something had happened at the Clear Sky Sect.
• Tang San sent his Divine Sense toward the Clear Sky Sect and declared that no one could stop him.
• Xiong Jun enthusiastically forged a metal door bolt at the Clear Sky Sect, impressing the Elders with his power and instinctive control.
• A God King’s pressure struck the Clear Sky Sect’s main peak, and the Elders recognized that a god had descended into the Real World.

Tang San’s attempt to send his divine sense into the Douluo Continent was blocked by a force that devoured his power and shook his godhood, leaving him frightened by the unknown threat. At Shrek Academy, Xiao Hongchen’s victories provoked a Sea God Pavilion debate over Soul Tools and the academy’s response.

• Xiong Jun sensed a god’s presence at the Clear Sky Sect and hid among the kneeling elders to avoid being noticed.
• Tang San’s divine sense struck a mysterious, devouring barrier around the Douluo Plane, so he severed the connection and wondered whether another God Realm was involved.
• Xiao Hongchen continued defeating Shrek students, while news of Huo Yuhao and the others’ confinement had not yet spread.
• Zhuang Lao argued that Xiao Hongchen relied on Soul Tools and that Shrek’s martial soul cultivators could defeat him without them.
• The dean of the Soul Engineering Branch challenged Zhuang Lao’s view, warning that Soul Tools were the future and Shrek could not afford to stop developing them.

Shrek’s leaders discussed how to counter Xiao Hongchen’s overwhelming Soul Tools after recognizing that Shrek’s old approach could not match Sun Moon’s new combat style. Qian Duoduo proposed immediate countermeasures and a long-term overhaul of Shrek’s attitude toward Soul Tools.

• Yan Shaozhe admitted that Shrek’s students could not reliably defeat Xiao Hongchen and that Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong’s Martial Soul Fusion Skill might be their only answer to him.
• Xuan Zi urged the elders to devise an immediate plan to suppress Xiao Hongchen and restore Shrek’s dignity.
• An intelligence elder outlined how Xiao Hongchen’s Martial Soul, comprehensive Soul Tools, and combat awareness made him so difficult to defeat.
• Some elders suggested restricting Xiao Hongchen’s Soul Tools, but Qian Duoduo rejected the idea as humiliating and ineffective.
• Qian Duoduo proposed building custom Soul Tools to counter Xiao Hongchen and creating a long-term Soul Tool research and combat system at Shrek.

The Sea God Pavilion debated Shrek’s response to Xiao Hongchen and approved targeted Soul Tool research and training. When the elders considered recalling Huo Yuhao from Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineer Academy, Xuan Zi refused to act rashly because communications had stopped and unusual movements were reported in the Sun Moon Empire.

• Qian Duoduo argued for developing Soul Tools, and Xuan Zi ordered the Spirit Department to select promising disciples while the Soul Engineering Department formed a team to study Xiao Hongchen’s Soul Tools.
• Xuan Zi decided Shrek should focus on countering Xiao Hongchen rather than fully developing Soul Tools, and said the academy should recall Huo Yuhao from Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineer Academy.
• An elder and Yan Shaozhe proposed using Huo Yuhao’s Spirit Eyes and Soul Tool knowledge to help defeat Xiao Hongchen, but Qian Duoduo objected to recalling him after Shrek had undervalued him.
• Xuan Zi questioned whether Huo Yuhao could defeat Xiao Hongchen and warned that Shrek had received no recent reports from its exchange students amid unusual Sun Moon activity.
• Yan Shaozhe urged Shrek to send help, but Xuan Zi refused to act through official or secret channels and ordered the academy to continue its preparations while waiting for news.

The Sea God Pavilion debated recalling Huo Yuhao to defend Shrek Academy’s honor, but Qian Duoduo argued that doing so would endanger Huo Yuhao and disrupt his crucial Soul Tool studies. The elders remained divided as concerns about his safety in the Sun Moon Empire unsettled the room.

• Yan Shaozhe explained that Wang Dong was away and that her abilities made her an uncertain counter to Xiao Hongchen.
• Elder Xuan proposed recalling Huo Yuhao to protect Shrek Academy’s honor, and most elders agreed.
• Qian Duoduo strongly opposed the recall and accused Shrek of having treated Huo Yuhao unfairly while relying on him when convenient.
• Yan Shaozhe defended the Exchange Student program and said Huo Yuhao would be compensated for returning early.
• Qian Duoduo warned that recalling Huo Yuhao could disrupt his studies, damage Shrek’s reputation, and put him at risk in the Sun Moon Empire.
• Elder Lin accused Qian Duoduo of putting the Soul Engineering Branch above Shrek’s foundation, while the elders grew uneasy about Huo Yuhao’s safety.

Qian Duoduo opposed Shrek's plan to recall Huo Yuhao, while Xiao Hongchen's dominance over the academy drove its students to seek a way to defeat him. Jiang Nannan proposed using herself as bait to create an opening, though the plan was secretly intended to awaken Xu Sanshi's dormant Black Tortoise bloodline.

• Qian Duoduo denounced Shrek's elders for treating Huo Yuhao as expendable, and the Sea God Pavilion meeting ended without a decision.
• Bei Bei, Xu Sanshi, and the others trained with new Soul Tools but could not find a way past Xiao Hongchen's defenses and firepower.
• Xu Sanshi asked whether his Mysterious Turtle Displacement could close the distance, and Bei Bei and Xiao Xiao explained why Xiao Hongchen could keep him away.
• Jiang Nannan offered to use her speed, Teleportation, Waist Bow, and Invincible Golden Body to reach Xiao Hongchen and create an opening.
• Xu Sanshi reluctantly agreed to the plan, unaware that Jiang Nannan, Bei Bei, and Xiao Xiao meant to use his distress to awaken his Black Tortoise bloodline.

Jiang Nannan challenged Xiao Hongchen as part of a plan to provoke Xu Sanshi into shattering Xiao’s Invincible Barrier and defend Shrek Academy’s honor. She fought desperately against Xiao’s Soul Tools, but his barrage injured her and left her in grave danger.

• Jiang Nannan’s plan began, while Xiao Hongchen prepared to show off at Shrek Academy and complained that it had taught him little.
• Meng Hongchen worried about provoking Shrek, but Xiao assured her the academy would protect its reputation.
• Jiang Nannan challenged Xiao Hongchen, who mocked her and blocked her opening kick with a Soul Tool shield.
• Xiao unleashed a barrage of Soul Tools, and Jiang used Teleportation and Gravity Control to dodge and deflect the attacks.
• Xu Sanshi watched in anguish as Jiang was battered by the explosions and a scarlet beam burned her arm.
• Xiao declared the fight over as Jiang’s pain stiffened her movements.

Jiang Nannan was knocked out by Xiao Hongchen, triggering Xu Sanshi’s dormant Black Tortoise bloodline to awaken as he charged at Xiao Hongchen. Xiao Hongchen unleashed a barrage of Soul Cannons, and Xu Sanshi braced behind his Black Tortoise Shield as the bombardment forced him backward.

• Xiao Hongchen struck Jiang Nannan with Frost Chains, leaving her badly wounded and unable to continue.
• Xu Sanshi rushed to Jiang Nannan’s side, and his Mysterious Turtle Shell Shield transformed as his Black Tortoise bloodline awakened.
• Xu Sanshi’s Soul Power broke through to the peak of Soul King, and he charged at Xiao Hongchen with renewed speed and strength.
• Xiao Hongchen activated Red Dust Protection’s Full Firepower Coverage Mode and fired more than fifty Soul Cannons at Xu Sanshi.
• Xu Sanshi used Black Tortoise Shield Formation to withstand the barrage, but the blasts drove him backward as he vowed to fight to the death.

Xu Sanshi used his awakened Black Tortoise powers to overcome Xiao Hongchen’s Soul Tool barrage and land a heavy blow, rallying Shrek’s students. Xiao Hongchen recovered and hinted that he had a plan beneath Xu Sanshi’s feet, leaving the fight unresolved.

• Xu Sanshi endured Xiao Hongchen’s cannon fire with his Black Tortoise Shield and used Black Tortoise Displacement to swap places with him.
• Xu Sanshi struck Xiao Hongchen’s Golden Toad Guard, cracked the shield, and sent him flying after Xiao Hongchen used Gold’s Affection to reduce the impact.

• Xu Sanshi advanced on Xiao Hongchen and declared that their spar was only beginning.
• Xiao Hongchen wiped away his blood, insisted he had not lost, and told Xu Sanshi to look beneath his feet.

Xiao Hongchen assembled a pseudo-Level 9 Red Dust Annihilation Cannon and fired it at Xu Sanshi, who awakened his Black Tortoise bloodline and combined three Spirit Rings to defend himself. Their clash shattered the arena’s protective barrier, sending a devastating shockwave toward the spectators and leaving Shrek Academy’s students in danger.

• Xiao Hongchen combined his soul tools into a giant cannon and named it the Red Dust Annihilation Cannon: Pseudo.
• Xiao Hongchen fired a dark gold torrent at Xu Sanshi, risking severe harm to himself to unleash the attack.
• Xu Sanshi awakened his Black Tortoise bloodline and combined his first three Spirit Rings to strengthen his shield.
• Xu Sanshi braced his giant Black Tortoise Shield against Xiao Hongchen’s attack, and their collision shattered the protective barrier.
• Bei Bei and the other Shrek students tried to shield themselves as the shockwave and debris swept toward the spectator stands.
