Chapter Summaries

The Demon Empress and Ice Empress recognized that the Lightning-Guiding Array depended on rare lightning soul beasts unavailable in their regions. Unable to find the necessary beasts in the Far North, the Ice Empress agreed to meet Kraken and discuss an alternative approach to surviving her tribulation and protecting the Snow Empress.

• The Demon Empress concluded that the Lightning Guidance method could work in the deep sea but lacked the required soul beast populations in Star Dou, while Kraken noted that the Demon Eye Demon Tree King had accepted the environment-independent Enlightenment Technique to test.
• The Ice Empress studied the Lightning-Guiding Array and realized the Far North had no suitable lightning-attribute soul beasts to serve as its living anchors.
• The Ice Empress resolved to seek help from the deep sea, despite fearing the price and the risks of bargaining with Kraken.
• Kraken contacted the Ice Empress after three days and offered to discuss an alternative approach.
• The Ice Empress summoned Kraken to Ice Ridge Canyon and crushed the communication talisman.

Kraken met the Ice Empress in Ice Ridge Canyon with Left Guard and Right Guard, revealing Energy Orbs that had helped them survive five-hundred-thousand-year tribulations. The Ice Empress agreed to accept Kraken’s aid for her four-hundred-thousand-year tribulation, with the price left for discussion after she succeeded.

• The Ice Empress confronted Kraken when she saw Left Guard and Right Guard’s formidable auras beside him.
• Kraken introduced Left Guard and Right Guard as veteran deep-sea seniors and showed the Ice Empress three Energy Orbs.
• Kraken explained that Energy Orbs had helped Left Guard and Right Guard endure their tribulations and recover, leading the Ice Empress to hope they could help her too.
• The Ice Empress asked Kraken to name his price, and he offered five ice-sealed fifty-thousand-year Demon Soul Great White Sharks for her to absorb before her tribulation.
• Kraken promised to guard the Ice Empress and support her with Energy Orbs at the tribulation site in three months, and she agreed to discuss the price after she succeeded.

Ice Empress faced the sixth bolt of her four-hundred-thousand-year tribulation when Snow Empress arrived and mistakenly attacked Kraken, believing he was trying to kill her. Ice Empress revealed that Kraken was helping her, leaving Snow Empress shocked and regretful as the sixth bolt descended.

• Ice Empress endured the fifth tribulation bolt while Kraken and his guards watched from the edge of the ice field.
• Snow Empress sensed the tribulation, emerged from seclusion, and mistook Kraken's aid for an assassination attempt.
• Snow Empress froze the area and pierced Kraken's chest with Ice Soul Divine Light, but his nine Energy Orbs activated to protect him.
• Ice Empress raised an ice wall and urgently told Snow Empress that Kraken was replenishing and stabilizing her energy.
• Snow Empress realized her mistake and halted her attack as Ice Empress's sixth tribulation bolt gathered overhead and crashed down.

Snow Empress gave Ice Empress her nearly hundred-thousand-year-old ice heart snow lotus to help her survive the remaining lightning tribulation bolts. Ice Empress reached four hundred thousand years of cultivation, while Kraken departed after giving her his last Energy Orb.

• Kraken revealed that Snow Empress's attack had consumed nine Energy Orbs and that the one intended for Ice Empress had been lost.
• Snow Empress gave Ice Empress the ice heart snow lotus and ordered her to absorb it and break through.
• Ice Empress endured the sixth, seventh, eighth, and final tribulation bolts, survived the tribulation, and reached four hundred thousand years of cultivation.
• Ice Empress returned the unrefined portion of the snow lotus to Snow Empress and asked Kraken about his injuries.
• Kraken gave Ice Empress his last Energy Orb, then left Ice Ridge Canyon with Left Guard and Right Guard.
• Snow Empress took Ice Empress's hand as they watched the three visitors disappear.

After leaving the Far North, Kraken and his guards decided to replenish their losses on the continent by attacking the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and killing a promising young talent. The clan remained unaware that the deep-sea attackers were approaching.

• Left Guard condemned the Snow Empress for attacking Kraken, but Kraken told him to set aside his anger and explained the encounter had also secured the Ice Empress’s favor.
• Kraken said the deep sea would recover its spent resources on the continent and use the chaos to advance its plans.
• Kraken chose the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan as their target, intending to eliminate a gifted young member before he could become a threat.
• Kraken assured Left Guard and Right Guard that he could still fight at level ninety-six, and they agreed to follow his orders.
• Kraken and his guards raced toward the clan’s territory as the unsuspecting Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan remained unaware of the impending attack.

Kraken, Left Guard, and Right Guard infiltrated the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and incapacitated its outer and middle defenses. Kraken drained the captured clan members to restore his strength, then prepared to confront the awakened Clan Leader.

• Kraken sent Left Guard and Right Guard to quietly cripple the clan's patrols, guards, stewards, and combat-capable members while keeping them alive.
• Left Guard and Right Guard incapacitated more than two hundred clan members without alerting the central areas.
• Kraken transformed his left arm into a Scorpion Tail Arm and used it to drain the victims' Soul Power, vitality, and soul essence.
• The drained clan members died as Kraken replenished his power and Energy Orb reserves.
• Kraken sensed the Clan Leader's aura approaching and announced that he would visit the master of the clan.

Kraken and his two guards confronted Yu Yuanlong and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, revealing that their attack was meant to make the clan relive its near-destruction three thousand years earlier. As the guards engaged the clan’s two elders and the clan’s protective formation faltered, Kraken prepared to face Yu Yuanlong directly.

• Yu Yuanlong arrived with the Great Elder and Second Elder and recognized Kraken and his guards as powerful transformed Soul Beasts.
• Kraken said they had attacked to make the clan experience the near-extermination it had faced three thousand years earlier.
• The Great Elder and Second Elder activated their Martial Soul Avatars, while Yu Yuanlong ordered the surviving clan members to raise the Nine Heavens Thunder-Controlling True Dragon Formation.
• Kraken sent the Left Guard and Right Guard to fight the two elders, and they forced the elders into a desperate struggle as the formation weakened.
• Kraken faced Yu Yuanlong and challenged him to unleash his ninth Soul Skill.

Kraken killed Yu Yuanlong, the Great Elder, and the Second Elder, then ordered Left Guard and Right Guard to massacre the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. He entered the Dragon Raising Pavilion, where the clan’s young disciples were hiding.

• Kraken evaded Yu Yuanlong’s Thunder Dragon Annihilation Wave and stabbed him through the heart with his Scorpion Tail Arm, draining his Soul Power, bloodline, and soul origin.
• Yu Yuanlong’s death broke the clan’s formation and sent its disciples fleeing in terror.
• Left Guard killed the Great Elder, while Right Guard killed the Second Elder after they lost their will to fight.
• Kraken ordered Left Guard and Right Guard to kill everyone still alive, and they massacred the fleeing clan members.
• Kraken destroyed the Dragon Raising Pavilion’s lightning restrictions and opened its doors, revealing a group of frightened children inside.

Kraken left Soul Bones poisoned as bait for the surviving children of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, creating a way to threaten or control future survivors. He and his guards then moved on to search the clan’s remaining hidden locations.

• Kraken entered the Dragon Raising Pavilion with Left Guard and Right Guard and offered the terrified children Soul Bones as gifts.
• Kraken singled out a stubborn boy with a trace of lightning in his Soul Power and encouraged the children to grow stronger.
• Kraken told the children to keep the gifts secret and left the pavilion with his guards.
• Right Guard questioned Kraken about sparing the children, and Kraken revealed that he had poisoned the Soul Bones.
• Left Guard and Right Guard understood that the poisoned Soul Bones could be triggered against future threats, while Kraken looked back at the clan’s ruins.

After looting the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, Kraken and his guards returned to the Coral Family, having used the massacre to distract the continent from changes on Sea God Island. The major powers blamed the clan’s destruction on a powerful Evil Soul Master faction and mobilized amid growing fear and suspicion.

• Kraken, Left Guard, and Right Guard finished plundering the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan’s core area, leaving it in ruins.
• Kraken explained that the attack had replenished their resources, eliminated a potential threat, and stirred up the continent to divert attention from Sea God Island.
• Kraken and his guards flew back toward the ocean, leaving the devastated clan behind.
• Several days later, the Heaven Dou Empire and the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect learned of the clan’s destruction and investigated the scene.
• A Title Douluo from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect concluded that a powerful group of Evil Soul Masters had carried out the massacre.
• The major powers heightened security and began investigating as panic and suspicion spread across the continent, while Kraken and his guards returned safely to the Coral Family.

Three thousand years after capturing the Black Water Turtle, Kraken treated it as a yo-yo before naming it Yo-Yo and ordering it to accompany him to the continent. Kraken planned to witness the Sun-Moon Continent collide with the Douluo Continent, and they set out westward to watch the upheaval.

• Kraken swung the hundred-thousand-year Black Water Turtle into rocks and across the seabed until it begged him to stop.
• Kraken named the turtle Yo-Yo and told it they would go to the continent to watch the Sun-Moon Continent collide with the Douluo Continent.
• Yo-Yo feared the trip but agreed after Kraken threatened to spin it again.
• Kraken ordered Yo-Yo to conceal its aura and shrink, then spent two hours considering the collision and its possible consequences.
• Kraken and the house-sized Yo-Yo left the Deep Sea Rift and swam west toward the coming collision.

Kraken gave Yo-Yo a secret art that let him take on a smaller, humanlike form without abandoning his true body or cultivation. Yo-Yo transformed into a burly man and struggled to walk as Kraken ordered him to continue toward the continent.

• Kraken complained that Yo-Yo's house-sized turtle form was too conspicuous as they approached the continent.
• Kraken sent Yo-Yo a secret art for freely changing forms, and Yo-Yo feared it would force him to start cultivating again.
• Kraken explained that the art preserved Yo-Yo's true body, cultivation, and lifespan, then ordered him to try it.
• Yo-Yo used the art to transform into a two-meter-tall, bald, muscular man.
• Yo-Yo stumbled while learning to walk, and Kraken told him to keep the new form and continue traveling.

Kraken assessed the Douluo Continent’s strength and identified several major powers and unusual bloodlines as the continents’ collision drew near. He decided to wait for the collision to force hidden players into the open.

• Kraken and Yo-Yo continued toward the continent as signs of human activity grew clearer.
• Kraken estimated that about seventy Title Douluos were active on the Douluo Continent, most of them scattered among its factions.
• Kraken identified the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect’s two rank-ninety-five elders as likely descendants of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and possible bearers of Soul Bones he had once tampered with.
• Kraken noted Ye Shuhua’s exceptional healing ability and sensed a faint Angel Spirit Empire aura near a hidden Ye Family residence.
• Kraken reported that Shrek Academy had a rank-ninety-eight dean, Feng Yun, and at least twenty Title Douluo teachers and guest elders.
• Kraken told Yo-Yo they would wait for the continents to collide and for hidden players to emerge.

After Evil Soul Masters raided the newly collided Sun-Moon Continent, the Sun-Moon Empire retaliated against the Douluo Continent’s empires, igniting a war. Shrek Academy formed a peacekeeping force, while Kraken watched its assembly and foresaw disaster for the Nine Heart Begonia healers.

• Evil Soul Masters exploited the collision’s chaos to raid the Sun-Moon Continent, and the Sun-Moon Empire mistook their attacks for a coordinated assault by the Douluo Continent’s empires.
• The Sun-Moon Empire deployed Soul Engineer legions to the border and struck targets inside the Heaven Dou and Star Luo Empires, which suffered heavy losses and appealed to Shrek Academy for help.
• Feng Yun answered the empires’ pleas by summoning Title Douluos to Shrek City to form the Continental Peacekeeping and Arbitration Allied Forces.
• Kraken monitored the assembled force and noted that Ning Deyang and Ye Shuhua had brought their sects, including Ye Shuhua’s daughter, Ye Xuanxuan.
• Kraken foresaw that Ye Shuhua and Ye Xuanxuan might die in the war, leaving the Sacred Orphans without the Angel Descendants’ protection.

Kraken left Yo-Yo near Shrek City and secretly targeted isolated Title Douluo in the Star Luo Empire, disguising his killings and thefts as Evil Soul Master attacks. The resulting panic weakened the empire’s border support and led the Shrek allied forces to consider hunting the supposed Evil Soul Masters.

• Kraken told Yo-Yo to hide and secretly watch Ye Shuhua, helping her only if she faced fatal danger and he could avoid being exposed.
• Kraken traveled to the Red Ridge Mountains and killed a rank ninety-two Magma Earth Dragon Douluo, then staged the cave as an Evil Soul Master raid.
• Over several days, Kraken killed three more isolated Title Douluo and looted their forces, disguising each attack as the work of Evil Soul Masters.
• The Star Luo Empire panicked over the deaths, and Dai Sen diverted more forces to internal security, weakening support for the border against the Sun-Moon Empire.
• Dean Feng Yun and the Shrek allied forces received reports of the attacks, and Dean Feng Yun said they needed to hunt down the Evil Soul Masters.

Ye Shuhua and her daughter Ye Xuanxuan used the Nine Heart Begonia to save Star Luo General Wang from a fatal wound inflicted by a class-nine Soul Tool. General Wang survived with his cultivation intact, while Ye Shuhua was left exhausted.

• A Shrek medical Soul Douluo warned Ye Shuhua that General Wang’s heart meridians were being destroyed by lingering annihilation energy.
• Ye Shuhua guided Ye Xuanxuan in combining their Nine Heart Begonia powers to heal General Wang’s wound and purge the energy.
• General Wang coughed up corrupted blood as his wound shrank and his Soul Power and breathing stabilized.
• Ye Shuhua instructed the medical officer to give General Wang three months of quiet rest and gentle treatment.
• Star Luo generals praised Ye Shuhua after she saved General Wang and preserved his cultivation.

Three months after Ye Shuhua saved General Wang from the Annihilation Decomposition Ray, he returned to the battlefield, stunning the Sun-Moon Empire’s commanders. Li Jie struggled to understand how his weapon’s victim had survived, while Qin Yue told him to calm down.

• Ye Shuhua told Ye Xuanxuan that Nine Heart Begonia healers must keep fighting to save anyone who still had a chance to live.
• Kraken warned Yo-Yo that Ye Shuhua’s healing ability made her a target, and they continued watching her on the battlefield.
• Three months later, General Wang charged at the front of the Star Luo army and destroyed a Sun-Moon Empire mobile soul cannon platform.
• Li Jie saw General Wang alive on a battlefield screen and angrily questioned how he had survived the Annihilation Decomposition Ray.
• Qin Yue told Li Jie to calm down.

Qin Yue ordered the Sun-Moon Empire to build a Level 9 Fixed Soul Guidance Shell to kill Ye Shuhua, whose Nine Heart Begonia healing threatened to change the war. While the weapon was prepared and intelligence sought her location, Ye Shuhua continued treating the wounded, unaware that she and her daughter had been marked for death.

• Qin Yue concluded that Ye Shuhua and Ye Xuanxuan's Nine Heart Begonia could rapidly heal even injuries caused by the Annihilation Decomposition Ray.
• Qin Yue and Li Jie decided Ye Shuhua had to be eliminated with a Level 9 Fixed Soul Guidance Shell capable of destroying her guards and surrounding defenses.
• The logistics chief warned that producing the shell would worsen shortages of defensive Soul Tools, but Qin Yue accepted the risk to frontline Soul Engineers.
• Qin Yue ordered Workshops No. 3 and No. 7 to focus on producing a special shell within two months and directed intelligence agents to locate Ye Shuhua and map her defenses.
• Ye Shuhua continued healing the wounded in the Shrek Allied Forces' medical zone, unaware that the Sun-Moon Empire had begun preparing a strike against her and her daughter.

At Shrek Allied Forces headquarters, the losses inflicted by the Sun-Moon Empire and an urgent attack on Gale Douluo’s family sparked a fierce dispute over whether he could leave the front. The chapter ended with Gale Douluo furiously rejecting Ning Deyang’s appeal to prioritize the decisive battle.

• Dean Feng Yun reviewed the Allied Forces’ diminished ranks: six Title Douluo had returned to Star Luo, six had died, and the forty-eight remaining were wounded and exhausted.
• Gale Douluo received a distress message saying Evil Soul Masters had attacked his clan in Qinglan Valley, killed its rank ninety-one elder, and nearly broken its protective formation.
• Gale Douluo demanded to return to Heaven Dou immediately, while Ning Deyang urged him to stay until the Allied Forces had weathered the Sun-Moon Empire’s pressure.
• Gale Douluo accused Ning Deyang of ignoring the losses and dangers at the front, then angrily asked whether Ning’s support abilities could save his family or restore the fallen.

Gale Douluo left the Allied Forces to defend his clan from Evil Soul Masters, while Dean Feng Yun ordered a joint purge and shifted the front line to defense. The Sun-Moon Empire noticed the retreat, but Qin Yue questioned whether his own depleted forces could exploit it.

• Gale Douluo confronted Ning Deyang over the Allied Forces’ casualties and the attacks on clans in the rear.
• Dean Feng Yun permitted Gale Douluo to return to Heaven Dou, ordered him to mobilize forces against the Evil Soul Masters, and proposed a joint purge with Star Luo.
• Dean Feng Yun ordered the Allied Forces to contract their defensive line, treat the wounded, and investigate the Sun-Moon Empire’s deployments while waiting for an opportunity.
• Gale Douluo departed for Heaven Dou as the Allied Forces withdrew from forward positions and built stronger defenses.
• Sun-Moon Empire observers reported the retreat, and Qin Yue warned his staff that his own corps had suffered heavy losses and faced a difficult attack against the new terrain-backed defenses.
