Chapter Summaries

Yan Shaozhe departed, and a four-hundred-thousand-year tribulation descended on Heaven Dou City, striking a Shrek Academy dormitory and revealing Kraken in the ruins. Kraken admitted that he had killed Xuan Zi and absorbed their power to reach his current cultivation, leaving Qian Duoduo, Xian Lin'er, and Cai Mei'er confronting him as another bolt approached.

• Yan Shaozhe left early, while Qian Duoduo, Xian Lin'er, and Cai Mei'er watched him go and resumed their duties.
• Black clouds gathered over Heaven Dou City, and Xian Lin'er and Cai Mei'er recognized the aura of a four-hundred-thousand-year soul beast tribulation.

• Qian Duoduo, Xian Lin'er, and Cai Mei'er surrounded Kraken and demanded to know what had happened to Xuan Zi.
• Kraken admitted that he had killed Xuan Zi and absorbed their power to reach four hundred thousand years, leaving Qian Duoduo and Xian Lin'er stricken with grief and rage.

After Kraken admitted killing Xuan Zi and the others, Qian Duoduo tried to stop the second lightning tribulation from striking Heaven Dou City. He survived the blast but nearly lost his Martial Soul, and Xian Lin'er and Cai Mei'er began attacking Kraken before the next tribulation arrived.

• Qian Duoduo vowed that Blue King would not leave Heaven Dou City alive after Kraken confessed to killing Xuan Zi and the others.

• Xian Lin'er charged Kraken with her flaming spears and called for Cai Mei'er to attack before the next tribulation arrived.

Kraken forced Xian Lin'er and Cai Mei'er to choose between fighting him and protecting Shrek's evacuating students from the lightning tribulation. Thirty Soul Douluo teachers sacrificed themselves to block the third, fourth, and fifth bolts, leaving Kraken wounded and the sixth bolt about to descend.

• Kraken threatened the evacuating students to make Xian Lin'er and Cai Mei'er stop attacking him and block the third bolt.
• An elderly Soul Douluo teacher led Shrek Academy's twenty-nine other Soul Douluo teachers in intercepting the third bolt, and eight of them died.

• The final ten teachers met the fifth bolt and died, while its lingering force severed one of Kraken's tentacles.
• Kraken looked toward the brewing sixth bolt and challenged Xian Lin'er and Cai Mei'er to take it.

Cai Mei'er tried to sacrifice herself to kill Kraken, but it killed her before she could reach it. Kraken stopped Xian Lin'er from retaliating by threatening the students, leaving her unable to fight back.

• Kraken restrained Xian Lin'er and warned that it could direct the lightning tribulation at the students if she fought back.
• Xian Lin'er lowered her spear and yielded to Kraken's threat.

Qian Duoduo reached Rank 96 and joined Xian Lin'er in resisting the lightning tribulation, but the final tribulation left New Shrek Academy in ruins. As the surviving students huddled among the wreckage, Kraken made a gray rain fall over the area, and the rain began corroding them.

• Qian Duoduo broke through to Rank 96 and offered to block the sixth lightning tribulation so Xian Lin'er could leave.

• The ninth lightning tribulation dissipated, leaving New Shrek Academy devastated and Kraken wounded but recovering.
• Kraken noticed students sheltering among the ruins and sent a gray sphere into the clouds, causing rain to fall across the academy.
• The rain corroded a student's skin, and the same symptoms began appearing in her companions.

Tianyang Douluo advised the Heavenly Soul Emperor to flee Heaven Dou City as a soul beast’s lightning tribulation threatened it, then warned him that the Body Sect’s destruction left the empire in danger. The emperor considered the empire’s history with the soul beasts as Tianyang urged him to seek refuge in the Star Luo or Sun-Moon Empire.

• Tianyang Douluo sensed a four-hundred-thousand-year soul beast tribulation over Heaven Dou City and advised the Heavenly Soul Emperor to move the capital.
• The Heavenly Soul Emperor ordered the royal family, officials, and Imperial Guards to relocate to Heaven Spirit City.
• The Heavenly Soul Emperor received news that the Body Sect had been devastated, Du Bisi was missing, and its Title Douluo had suffered confirmed deaths.
• Tianyang Douluo suspected the soul beast behind the tribulation was connected to the attack and warned that no place in the Heaven Dou Empire might be safe.
• The Heavenly Soul Emperor recounted how the empire’s once-protective soul beasts had become prey for the Body Sect.
• Tianyang Douluo urged the emperor to leave the Heaven Dou Empire and seek refuge in the Star Luo or Sun-Moon Empire.

After two mysterious, seemingly nonhuman attackers destroyed the Body Sect, Wang Yan and Du Busi sheltered with the unconscious Huo Yuhao and two surviving disciples in a hidden cave. Wang Yan proposed fleeing to the Sun-Moon Empire, leaving Du Busi to confront the likelihood that Heaven Soul was also in danger.

• Wang Yan bandaged his wounded arm while Du Busi recovered from severe injuries, and Huo Yuhao remained unconscious alongside Long Aotian and Wei Na.
• Wang Yan and Du Busi argued over how few people Wang Yan had managed to rescue from the Body Sect.
• Du Busi asked who had attacked the sect, and Wang Yan suspected the two attackers were powerful, transformed Soul Beasts.
• Wang Yan checked Huo Yuhao, confirmed he was not in mortal danger, and urged Du Busi to recover so they could seek revenge.
• Wang Yan suggested going to the Sun-Moon Empire, and Du Busi questioned why they could not return to Heaven Soul.
• Wang Yan asked Du Busi how long Heaven Soul could withstand the creatures that had destroyed the Body Sect.

After the Body Sect’s destruction, Wang Yan persuaded Du Busi to seek refuge in the Sun-Moon Empire and recover while investigating the attackers. The group left their cave the next morning and began traveling toward the empire by secluded routes.

• Wang Yan explained that the Sun-Moon Empire’s warning systems and Soul Tool defenses made it safer than the Heaven Dou Empire.
• Wang Yan offered to arrange identities and Soul Tool studies for Long Aotian and Wei Na at the Radiant City Soul Engineer Academy, and a place for Du Busi to recover.
• Du Busi agreed to go to the Sun-Moon Empire so he could survive, uncover the soul beasts’ origins, and protect the Body Sect’s remaining disciples.
• Du Busi asked whether Long Aotian and Wei Na could adapt, and Wang Yan said they would have to make a life there.
• Wang Yan promised to lead the group along secluded paths, and the next morning he, Du Busi, Long Aotian, Wei Na, and Huo Yuhao set out for the Sun-Moon Empire.

Wang Yan brought Huo Yuhao, Long Aotian, and Wei Na into Radiant City Soul Engineering Academy under disguised identities and arranged their enrollment. After Xuan Ziwen tested them and assigned their dormitories and classes, Huo Yuhao and Long Aotian were stunned to learn Wei Na was a Level Four Soul Engineer.

• Wang Yan gave the group disguise masks and forged papers, then led them through Radiant City’s gates to its Soul Engineering Academy.
• Xuan Ziwen tested Huo Yuhao, finding him to be a Level Four Soul Engineer with Soul Power Level thirty-three.
• Xuan Ziwen found that Long Aotian had Soul Power Level fifty-three but was not a Soul Engineer, and Wang Yan claimed he had grown up in the Spirit Hall Empire.
• Xuan Ziwen tested Wei Na and discovered she was a Level Four Soul Engineer with Soul Power Level thirty-seven and three ten-thousand-year soul rings.
• Wang Yan left after Xuan Ziwen arranged for the three youths to join existing classes and gave them their dormitory assignments.
• Huo Yuhao and Long Aotian asked Wei Na when she had learned Soul Tool engineering.

Wei Na revealed that her brain Spirit Empire let her perfectly remember Huo Yuhao’s Soul Tool crafting, then she, Huo Yuhao, and Long Aotian encountered Ji Juechen, who demanded a spar. When they tried to walk past him, Ji Juechen charged at them.

• Wei Na explained that she had memorized Huo Yuhao’s Class 4 Soul Tool crafting process after watching it once and had used it to pass her test.
• Long Aotian led Huo Yuhao and Wei Na toward the dorms, where Ji Juechen blocked their path and introduced himself as a Level 46 assault-type Soul Master seeking a spar.
• Huo Yuhao and Long Aotian chose to ignore Ji Juechen and walked around him with Wei Na.
• After Ji Juechen watched them leave for three breaths, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm warned Huo Yuhao that Ji Juechen was charging, and Huo Yuhao moved to evade and pull Wei Na aside.
• Long Aotian reacted even faster.

Xie Xie summoned Ji Juechen to the back mountain and used an unknown power to turn him back into a boy of about fourteen or fifteen. He then caught Jing Ziyan, who had followed them, and recognized her.

• Long Aotian left after Ji Juechen kept trying to make him spar, and Ji Juechen felt a force drawing him toward the back mountain.
• Ji Juechen met Xie Xie in a clearing and demanded to know why he had summoned him.
• A phantom restrained Ji Juechen, and Xie Xie altered his body to the age he considered most suitable for cultivation.
• Xie Xie noticed someone hiding in the shrubs, and the phantom dragged Jing Ziyan into the clearing.
• Xie Xie asked the frightened girl if she was Jing Ziyan.

Xie Xie altered Ji Juechen and Jing Ziyan’s ages and memories before arranging for them to enroll at the Radiant City Soul Engineering Academy. As the five transfer students joined Xuan Ziwen’s class, the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm realized that Huo Yuhao’s memories had been changed, leaving him wary of the power behind it.

• Xie Xie told Jing Ziyan to withdraw from the academy with Ji Juechen and promised to arrange their re-enrollment after changing their ages.
• Xuan Ziwen introduced Huo Yuhao, Long Aotian, Wei Na, Ji Juechen, and Jing Ziyan as transfer students to the advanced class.
• The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm remembered Ji Juechen confronting Huo Yuhao the previous day, but Huo Yuhao denied that the encounter had happened.
• The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm suspected that someone had altered the academy’s memories and decided to stay alert.
• Xuan Ziwen assigned seats to the five transfer students, and Huo Yuhao looked toward Ji Juechen across the classroom.

Huo Yuhao learned that Tian Meng had sacrificed most of his life force to restore his altered memory, leaving him asleep for an unknown time. Meanwhile, Xie Xie and the dark-blue phantom prepared to travel further into the past, while Tai Dan and Niu Tian reached the ruined Shrek City and discovered a corpse.

• Electrolux told Huo Yuhao that Tian Meng had traded most of his life force for help restoring Huo Yuhao's memory and might sleep for months or years.
• Huo Yuhao promised the sleeping Tian Meng that he would grow stronger before withdrawing from his Spiritual Sea.
• Xie Xie questioned the dark-blue phantom about why it had not erased all of Tian Meng's memories, and the phantom said that doing so required God Level power.
• The phantom told Xie Xie they were leaving for a more distant past.
• Unable to find Huo Yuhao or contact Tang San, Tai Dan and Niu Tian traveled to Shrek and found the city reduced to ruins by Lightning Tribulation.
• Niu Tian examined a decayed corpse in the ruins, and Tai Dan asked how it could have happened.

After Wang Dong's death, Niu Tian returned to the Clear Sky Sect while Tai Tan searched for the soul beast that had undergone a devastating tribulation. Tai Tan's search led him to Sea God Island, where the High Priest avoided giving him clear information.

• Niu Tian carried Wang Dong's corpse to the Clear Sky Sect and told Tai Tan to investigate the soul beast and find a way to contact Tang San.
• Tai Tan searched the Extreme North for two days but found no soul beast with at least four hundred thousand years of cultivation.
• Tai Tan searched the Star Dou Forest, found no beast showing signs of a recent tribulation, and glimpsed Di Tian speaking respectfully with a mysterious red-haired girl.
• Tai Tan ruled out the Evil Spirit Forest and traveled to Sea God Island to question the High Priest about powerful deep-sea soul beasts.
• The High Priest gave Tai Tan vague answers, and Tai Tan left after asking her to send any useful information to the Clear Sky Sect.

Tai Tan left Sea God Island to return to the Clear Sky Sect, unaware that Kraken was preparing to use Leng Shuang as a host for the Ice Dragon King's remnant soul. After receiving the High Priest's warning that Tai Tan was searching the deep sea for a soul beast over four hundred thousand years old, Kraken realized the Clear Sky Sect was growing anxious.

• Tai Tan left Sea God Island and flew toward the Clear Sky Sect, deciding not to investigate Sunset Forest.
• The Ice Dragon King told Kraken that Bing Lan's chaotic mental power prevented him from possessing her.
• Kraken identified Leng Shuang, Tianling Academy's ice-attribute vice-captain, as a suitable host and brought her to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
• Kraken drained Bing Lan's life force and soul power and used it to restore the Ice Dragon King's remnant soul.
• The High Priest warned Kraken through the Deep Wave Sound-Transmission Conch that Tai Tan was tracking a soul beast over four hundred thousand years old and had focused his search on the deep sea.
• Kraken concluded that the Clear Sky Sect was getting anxious and vanished, leaving Leng Shuang unconscious with the Ice Dragon King's remnant soul.

Kraken arranged for the Ice Dragon King to be taken back and fed the High Priest a false lead about a tribulation survivor to divert Tai Tan. Tai Tan traveled to the East Sea Trench to search for the supposed Ancient Giant Octopus.

• Kraken contacted Di Tian and reported that the Ice Dragon King had taken over a Five-Ring Soul King's body but needed time to recover.
• Kraken contacted the High Priest and instructed her to tell Tai Tan that a four-hundred-thousand-year Ancient Giant Octopus had disappeared after a lightning tribulation in the East Sea Trench.
• The High Priest summoned Tai Tan back to Sea God Island and passed along Kraken's account as information from her investigation.
• Tai Tan thanked the High Priest, flew to the East Sea Trench, and began searching its surroundings without descending into the depths.

Tai Tan tracked a faint aura to an island and slaughtered the Hundred-Thousand-Year Giant Claw Crabs that attacked him. He challenged whatever remained in the island’s jungle to emerge and face him at once.

• Tai Tan sensed a faint aura near a small island and flew there to investigate.
• A Giant Claw Crab erupted from beneath the beach and attacked Tai Tan, who killed it with one punch.
• Ten more Giant Claw Crabs burst from the sand and attacked Tai Tan together.
• Tai Tan countered their assault and destroyed all ten with successive punches.
• Tai Tan landed on a reef and called for any remaining enemies in the jungle to come out.

Tai Tan faced an island ringed by more than a hundred hundred-thousand-year Giant Claw Crabs and revealed a portion of his sealed power to stop their mass self-destruction. As over a thousand more Giant Claw Crabs advanced from the sea, he remained alone on the island, facing the next wave.

• More than a hundred hundred-thousand-year Giant Claw Crabs emerged and surrounded Tai Tan, who trapped them in his Gravity Domain.
• The Giant Claw Crabs began to self-destruct, so Tai Tan released part of his sealed power and forcibly stopped and reversed the process.
• The Giant Claw Crabs collapsed, unable to fight, and Tai Tan called on their unseen leader to appear.
• Over a thousand Giant Claw Crabs approached from the sea, removed their fallen companions, and took attacking positions against Tai Tan.

Titan wiped out thousands of Giant Claw Crabs with his fourth soul skill, Titan Meteor Fall, but an even larger force gathered offshore. He realized the crabs were waiting in formation and spotted unfamiliar Diamond Crayfish on their backs.

• Titan recognized that someone had arranged the attacks and charged into the Giant Claw Crabs despite the danger of revealing his power.
• Titan killed more than a thousand hundred-thousand-year Giant Claw Crabs on the beach as Kraken watched from an undersea cave.
• Titan unleashed Titan Meteor Fall and destroyed five thousand Giant Claw Crabs gathered at sea.
• Kraken questioned why Titan had used a skill instead of smashing the crabs one by one, then watched him prepare to leave.
• Titan saw at least forty thousand Giant Claw Crabs waiting offshore in formation and noticed Diamond Crayfish riding on their backs.

Titan endured the Giant Claw Crab army’s explosive catapult barrage, then destroyed most of the catapults and fought off the crabs. Kraken watched from an underwater cave and anticipated Titan’s next soul skills.

• The Diamond Crayfish launched Giant Claw Crabs from catapults, and the crabs exploded around Titan as he shielded himself with Soul Power.
• Titan survived the bombardment and charged toward the catapults before stopping to use his fifth soul skill, Titan's Grip, to seize and destroy dozens of them.
• When the Giant Claw Crabs charged him, Titan used his sixth soul skill, Indestructible Vajra, and smashed through their attack without being harmed.
• Titan crushed eighty or ninety percent of the catapults, leaving the Giant Claw Crabs and Diamond Crayfish hesitant to approach.
• Kraken watched Titan through a curtain of water and remarked that Titan had already used his fifth and sixth soul skills.
