Chapter Summaries

Kraken discovered that the Auspicious Beast had left the Spirit Hall Empire and created two clones to pursue his plans. One clone lured Tai Tan toward the Ancient Giant Octopus, while Kraken watched and the sea beasts secretly followed.

• Kraken sensed that the Auspicious Beast had left the Spirit Hall Empire and blamed Scarlet King for failing to watch her.

• Tai Tan followed the clone southwest, while some Giant Claw Crabs and Diamond Crayfish secretly tailed them and the others scattered.

Titan followed the Blue-Ringed Octopus into an undersea gorge, where it revealed itself as Blue King and challenged him to fight. Titan easily sent Blue King flying, then demanded to know how he had learned Titan’s identity, while warning that he had already noticed the forces following them.

• Titan dodged Dan-Devour’s attack and confronted the Blue-Ringed Octopus, which transformed into Blue King.

• Titan revealed that he had known about the three thousand Giant Claw Crabs and three hundred Diamond Crayfish following them since they left the island.

Blue King revealed a hidden army of 150,000 soul beasts and used their energy to heal himself while Tai Tan fought their leaders. Tai Tan realized Blue King was sustaining the two 200,000-year-old beasts and decided to target him first.

• Blue King revealed 100,000 Diamond Crayfish and 50,000 Giant Claw Crabs, surprising Tai Tan, who had not sensed their presence.

• Tai Tan realized Blue King was feeding energy to the two leaders and decided to take Blue King out first.

Tai Tan used Titan's Firmament Shatter to destroy Blue King's body, but Blue King reappeared by transferring his consciousness and revealed that the surrounding Soul Beasts could sustain him. Tai Tan faced the prospect of exhausting his Soul Power before Blue King ran out of Origin power.

• Tai Tan trapped Blue King in a stone sphere with Titan's Grip and hurled it down from the sky with Titan's Firmament Shatter.
• The impact pulverized Blue King's body and killed nearby Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts, but the auras of the Diamond Crayfish and Giant Claw Crab remained unchanged.
• Blue King appeared behind Tai Tan and explained that he had transferred his consciousness before his body was destroyed.
• Tai Tan challenged Blue King's ability to keep transferring his consciousness, and Blue King pointed to the hundred thousand remaining Soul Beasts as a source of Origin power.

Blue King’s waterspout formation blocked Titan’s meteor attack, but Titan escaped the ensuing assault by the soul-beast army and fled toward Sea God Island. He arrived battered and exhausted, seeking an explanation from the High Priest.

• Titan landed in Sea God Island’s plaza, where a guard barely recognized him and asked what had happened.

• The High Priest introduced her nine trusted Title Douluo: Sea Wolf, Begonia Douluo, Sea Cucumber Douluo, Ye Yang, Halberd Douluo, Crayfish Douluo, Sea Spear, Sea Star, and Giant Claw.

Titan recovered from his injuries with Sea God Dew, then joined the High Priest and the nine Title Douluo in a night raid on the Demon Empress. The group reached the underground secret chamber where she was said to be cultivating.

A clone followed the Auspicious Beast’s aura to the Extreme North and discovered Di Tian negotiating with the Ice Empress to keep the Auspicious Beast there for three hundred years in exchange for four hundred-thousand-year ice-type soul beasts.

• Tian Kai led thirty thousand elite troops south toward Heaven Dou City, claiming he was going to maintain order.
• Weini proclaimed that he would temporarily administer Heaven Soul and sent secret letters to Ye Xishui.

Weini seized Heaven Dou City before Tian Kai could reach it, leaving Tian Kai to wait while the capital’s power struggle stalled. In the eastern empire, Tieshan and Moyuan considered Tian Kai’s request for an alliance but deferred a decision until their boss arrived.

• Ye Xishui told Weini she could not involve herself in internal affairs but would not interfere with him.
• Weini entered Heaven Dou City with five thousand guards and took control of the capital’s defenses and palace.
• Tian Kai halted his advance after Weini rejected his proposal for joint governance.
• Moyuan advised Tieshan not to ally with Tian Kai because involvement could expose their identities as soul beasts and was not their mission.
• Tieshan contacted their boss, who said his avatar would arrive in a few days, and Tieshan and Moyuan agreed to hold their position meanwhile.

• Weini’s death enraged the southern legion, and its generals urged Wei Si to take the throne and march north for revenge.
• Wei Si warned the generals that Tian Kai and Tieshan outnumbered them and that Ye Xishui’s position was uncertain, so he postponed revenge and ordered the southern legion to prepare for a long-term standoff.

After taking Heaven Dou City, Tian Kai prepared for possible opposition from the southern and western legions and invited Tieshan to meet him. Kraken agreed to accompany Tieshan, and the two reached an inn near the meeting place, where Tian Kai’s subordinate arrived to escort them to dinner.

• Tian Kai learned that Wei Si was holding back the southern legion and that Ye Xishui had made no move, so he strengthened Heaven Dou City’s defenses and arranged to invite Tieshan.
• Kraken read Tian Kai’s letter and told Tieshan the invitation was likely a trap, but agreed to go with him and kill Tian Kai if necessary.
• Kraken and Tieshan traveled toward Heaven Dou City in disguise and reached a town near the estate on the ninth evening.
• A subordinate of Tian Kai knocked on their inn-room door and invited Tieshan to dinner at the estate.

Tieshan met Tian Kai in Heaven Dou City, where Tian Kai offered him the title of Southeastern King and urged him to stay overnight. After reaching Verdant Bamboo Court, Tieshan called for his Boss, who suddenly appeared behind him.

• Tieshan checked the courtyard for listeners, called for his Boss, and heard the familiar voice answer from behind him.

Kraken explained Tian Kai’s plan to make Tieshan and Wei Si destroy each other, and arranged for Tieshan and Wei Si to feign conflict before turning against Tian Kai. Ice Empress warned Wei Si about the scheme and revealed that she had gone south partly because Kraken promised the Deep Sea would solve the Auspicious Beast’s food problem.

• Kraken told Tieshan that accepting the title of King of the Southeast would provoke Wei Si and let Tian Kai benefit from their war.

• Ice Empress urged Wei Si not to provoke Tieshan and said someone would explain the scheme to him.
• Ice Empress recalled that the Auspicious Beast needed powerful soul beasts for food, which the Extreme North could not provide, and that Kraken promised the Deep Sea would solve the problem.

Tian Kai led the Northeast Allied Army south to crush Wei Si’s Southern Legion, while Kraken and Ice Empress watched the campaign unfold. The Southern Legion collapsed after three Soul Douluo betrayed it, but Wei Si escaped using a spatial teleportation Soul Tool as Tian Kai ordered a search for him.

• Tian Kai announced that his three-hundred-thousand-strong army would march south to suppress Wei Si, and Tieshan publicly supported the plan.
• Kraken told Ice Empress that he was wearing down the Heavenly Soul people, and the two later watched the Northeast Allied Army advance.
• Wei Si ordered the Southern Legion to form up for battle despite facing Tian Kai and Tieshan, two Title Douluo.
• The Southern Legion’s defenses broke as Tian Kai and Tieshan overwhelmed its Soul Douluo, and three Southern Soul Douluo betrayed their comrades.

• Wei Si sent two letters requesting an audience with Xu Jiawei, then went to the palace himself, but the guards turned him away.
• Wei Si heard that Tian Kai and Tieshan had declared themselves the Northwest King and Southeast King and divided the Heaven Dou Empire.
• Xu Jiawei revealed that he knew Wei Si was in the city but had chosen not to meet him so he could wait for a chance to invade Heaven Dou.
• Xu Jiawei ordered the northern border troops to enter first-level combat readiness and directed intelligence officials to monitor Heaven Dou.

Ye Chen publicly supported Tian Kai as the legitimate ruler of the Heaven Dou Empire, triggering a massive rebellion led by Yan Shaozhe. As the insurgents threatened Tian Kai’s rule, Xu Jiawei decided to send Star Luo troops to help suppress them and avenge the Star Luo delegation.

• Tian Kai asked Ye Chen to publicly support his claim to the Northwest King position, and Ye Chen agreed to consider it after challenging him over the Blue King's killing of Tian Kai.
