Chapter Summaries

Shui Bing'er withdrew the Skywater Team, and the tournament continued through several forfeits until the Body Sect's two teams were matched against each other. The chapter ended with both teams preparing to fight, leaving the Second Team under pressure to decide whether to forfeit.

• Shui Bing'er surrendered the match, and Yue Guan declared the Body Sect Second Team the winner.
• Ning Fengzhi questioned how Tang Wulin and Tang Xuanyu had advanced so quickly, while Tianben called them Evil Soul Masters and Golden Crocodile linked them to Xuantian Sect.
• Star Abyss Team and Fenghua Team forfeited their matches, leaving only one battle in the first round.
• Camelot's team received a bye in the second round, and the Body Sect First Team was paired against the Body Sect Second Team.
• Yue Guan asked each Body Sect team to choose its first defender, while the First Team remained confident and the Second Team faced pressure to forfeit.

Tang Xuanyu ignored Tang San’s order to surrender and was quickly defeated by Ning Sa, while Tang Wulin, Tang San, and Yu Tianheng forfeited their matches. The next match began between Spirit Hall’s Immortal Blades and Golden Team, as Qian Ningshuang faced Hu Liena.

• Tang Wulin taunted Tang San about his dependence on God King power, while Tang San urged Tang Xuanyu to surrender.
• Tang Xuanyu charged Ning Sa instead of forfeiting, but Ning Sa froze and blasted him out of the plaza with Ice Explosion, winning for the Body Sect First Team.
• Tang Wulin and Tang San surrendered, and Yu Tianheng forfeited for the Body Sect Second Team.
• Qian Ningshuang asked Qian Renxue how she should fight, then entered the plaza to face Hu Liena.
• Hu Liena greeted Qian Ningshuang as the Second Young Miss and glanced toward her on the Presidium.

Hu Liena confessed her feelings to Qian Ningshuang and asked why they could not be together, but Qian Ningshuang rejected her because she was not pretty enough. Hu Liena then called her six Golden Team teammates into the arena to fight Qian Ningshuang, and the match began as pink mist spread.

• Yue Guan delayed the match while Hu Liena gathered herself to speak to Qian Ningshuang.
• Qian Ningshuang told Hu Liena she knew what she wanted to say but that a relationship between them was impossible.
• Hu Liena asked for a reason, and Qian Ningshuang bluntly said Hu Liena was not pretty enough.
• Hu Liena asked Yue Guan to let all six of her teammates join her, and Qian Renxue and the High Priests approved the seven-versus-one match.
• The Golden Team entered the arena, pink mist spread, and Qian Ningshuang focused before charging into battle.

Rita Rosseweisse defeated the Body Sect First Team alone, setting up the final match between Camelot and Immortal Blades. As Blue Comet and Golden Streamer unleashed attacks that engulfed and damaged the arena, Tang San laughed and declared that Spirit Hall, Camelot, and the Body Sect were doomed.

• Rita Rosseweisse accepted a one-against-seven match against the Body Sect First Team, and the teams introduced their fighters.
• Rita summoned lightning beasts that overwhelmed the Body Sect fighters, leaving Dai Weisi and Zhu Zhuyun unconscious and securing Camelot's victory.
• Yue Guan announced the final round between Camelot and Immortal Blades.
• Blue Comet and Golden Streamer unleashed fiery and wind-based attacks that shook the reinforced arena, forcing the High Priests to stabilize it.
• Gu Yuena noticed Tang San's wild joy as he laughed and declared that Spirit Hall, Camelot, and the Body Sect would meet their end.

Spirit Hall’s Sacred Mountain erupted in golden light, and Qian Renxue absorbed the angel phantom as black mist emerged in its place. Spirit Hall’s defenses fired into the mist, but the attacks vanished without effect, leaving Qian Chongling unable to sense what was inside.

• Spirit Hall’s Sacred Mountain released a pillar of golden light, and an angel phantom appeared amid spreading black cracks and cries of sorrow.
• Qian Ningshuang nodded to Qian Renxue, who flew into the sky and drew the angel phantom into her hand.
• Qian Renxue explained that the lingering light motes held energy accumulated over ten thousand years, and Spirit Hall used them to attack the black mist.
• Qian Ningshuang recognized that Spirit Hall’s renovations had prepared Spirit City to attack the Mystic Heaven Palace, which Tang San had hidden openly at the Sacred Mountain.
• Qian Chongling ordered the city’s defenses to cease fire after their attacks vanished into the black mist and probing revealed nothing inside.

The black mist around Martial Soul Hall Sacred Mountain receded, revealing the mountain transformed and a grotesque spiritual reflection hidden within it. The reflection fused with the mountain into a towering, shapeless monster, leaving the onlookers to face what seemed to be a living creature rather than an underground palace.

• Qian Daoliu asked Qian Chongling whether he should investigate the black mist, but Qian Chongling chose to question the captured Tang San instead.
• Di Tian announced that the change had begun as the black mist shrank away from Martial Soul Hall Sacred Mountain, whose buildings had turned pitch-black.
• Ning Fengzhi watched the bound Tang San, whose arrogant expression angered him as the others focused on the mountain.
• A reflection of Sacred Mountain appeared upside down in the sky as a blood-dripping tower made of bones and human remains, and Gu Yuena realized the hidden Xuantian Sect had been concealed in a spiritual reflection.
• The tower fused with Sacred Mountain and became a towering, shapeless monster of flowing black liquid, prompting Gu Ningqiu to call it a living creature.

Qian Chongling and the others discovered that the mountain-sized Fluid Monster could absorb attacks and could not be killed, so they prepared to contain it. As the battle began, a giant hand emerged from the Void and abducted Ning Fengzhi and Ning Sa.

• Qian Chongling stopped the War Fortresses’ bombardment and confirmed that his attacks could not kill the advancing Fluid Monster.
• Qian Renxue recognized that the monster fed on whatever it destroyed, and its purple eyes and jade-like hands began attacking the defenders.
• Gu Yuena and Qian Ningshuang suggested resealing the monster, while Gu Ningqiu urged them to take the threat seriously.
• Ning Fengzhi empowered the Body Sect’s Title Douluo, then withdrew as the weaker fighters and War Fortresses retreated.
• Qian Daoliu formed a Birdcage with the remaining Title Douluo to restrict the monster’s movement.
• A jade-colored giant hand emerged from the Void and carried off Ning Fengzhi and Ning Sa.

A giant monster’s spatial attacks scattered the defenders and pulled Tang San and several others inside it. Qian Ningshuang, Gu Yuena, and Qian Renxue followed the vanished group into a dark mountain tunnel, leaving Gu Ningqiu to replace them at the Birdcage.

• Sword Douluo Chen Xin flew away after Ning Fengzhi was seized by a jade-colored hand, while the Title Douluo continued channeling Soul Power to restrain the monster.
• Tang San asked Asura to use the Mysterious Heaven Skill and release his soul aura, and Asura’s divine thought painfully broke through his seal.
• Tang San’s released aura triggered the monster’s roar and spatial attacks, which carried Tang San, Tian Yao, Li Sushang, Ji Hongyu, and others away.
• Qian Ningshuang let a jade hand seize her, and Gu Yuena and Qian Renxue joined her before the three vanished; Gu Ningqiu took Qian Renxue’s place at the Birdcage.
• Qian Ningshuang found herself in a pitch-black mountain tunnel with Gu Yuena and Qian Renxue.

Qian Ningshuang reasoned that the Xuantian Sect’s ten-thousand-year dominance could be explained by hidden god-level support and the likelihood that exceptional geniuses emerged over such a long span. The three remained trapped inside Mystic Heaven Palace, stripped of their powers, and had not yet discovered what awaited them.

• Qian Renxue woke after Gu Yuena used Xiao Hei’s tail to make her sneeze, then learned she had fainted upon entering Mystic Heaven Palace.
• Qian Ningshuang, Qian Renxue, and Gu Yuena found that they could not sense their energy or use their Martial Souls, and Qian Ningshuang concluded the palace was a special space like Xiao Hei’s innate ability.
• Gu Yuena questioned Qian Renxue about her knowledge of Mystic Heaven Palace, but Qian Renxue insisted she remembered nothing about it.
• Qian Ningshuang argued that a sect ruling for ten thousand years could naturally produce god-level figures and asked whether the God Realm would have tolerated the Xuantian Sect without divine backing.
• Qian Renxue and Gu Yuena admitted they knew of no gods connected to the Xuantian Sect, while Qian Ningshuang said the sect could have had a backer outside the God Realm.

Asura took control of Tang San’s body as it sank into black sludge and began to escape while reconsidering Xuantian Sect’s history. Seeing the Seven-Story Giant Tower, he suspected the Black Hand had helped Xuantian Sect conceal god-level powerhouses by exploiting a loophole that kept them from ascending to the God Realm.

• Asura found that he could not use soul power through Tang San’s body, so he used a practical trick to slowly rise out of the sludge.
• Asura recalled that Xuantian Sect had never produced a known god-level powerhouse, despite its strength, longevity, and access to the Mysterious Heaven Skill and Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
• Asura realized that he had neglected Xuantian Sect, assuming it had been destroyed after it stopped worshipping him and failing to arrange a god position for its members.
• Asura concluded that Xuantian Sect might have had gods who never ascended to the God Realm, possibly because the Black Hand had interfered.
• Asura reasoned that Douluo people could theoretically avoid ascending by reversing the Spirit Ring separation ritual and returning to the Spirit Beast designation, though doing so would damage their souls and foundations.
• Asura suspected Xuantian Sect might have known a Reversal Ritual because it had long practiced reckless experiments on souls and bodies.

Qian Ningshuang, Qian Renxue, and Gu Yuena regained some strength and weapons inside the Mystic Heaven Palace’s strange passages, then followed Xiao Hei to find Tian Yao and the others. After freeing Tian Yao from a Black Cocoon, they faced a swarm of worms dropping from the cavern ceiling.

• Qian Ningshuang, Qian Renxue, and Gu Yuena stirred their true bodies’ power until the space’s controller restored some strength and gave them weapons.
• The three women followed Xiao Hei away from Qian Renxue’s summons after Xiao Hei sensed Ice Empress’s aura in another direction.
• Qian Renxue found an old Angel Allied Forces badge and traces of a corpse in the passage.
• Xiao Hei led the group to a cavern where they spotted Tian Yao trapped in a Black Cocoon among many cocoons hanging from the ceiling.
• Gu Yuena exposed Cerberus’s tiger form, and Cerberus helped free and treat the poisoned Tian Yao.
• The Black Cocoons cracked open, and countless worms dropped toward the group as Qian Renxue fought back.

Qian Ningshuang and the others fought strange Worms in a cave while Xiao Hei was snatched into the air by a bizarre flying monster. Qian Ningshuang spotted the creature weaving a cocoon and wounded it with a flaming Lance, slowing its flight.

• Qian Renxue and Gu Yuena questioned what the Worms were as they fought them, noting that they looked like Ice Silkworms but had no Spirit Rings when they died.
• A foul gust swept through the cave, and a black flying monster grabbed Cerberus and carried him into the air.
• Xiao Hei broke free and fought back with light beams and Purple Lightning, while Qian Ningshuang leaped up to help him.
• Qian Ningshuang recognized the monster’s strange wolf-headed, bat-winged body and noticed it was weaving black threads into a cocoon.
• Qian Ningshuang told Xiao Hei to release wide-area lightning, then struck the briefly slowed monster with a flaming Lance and reduced its speed.

Qian Ningshuang and her companions escaped Mystic Heaven Palace’s monster-filled caves and mechanical realm, with Bibi Dong joining them and helping them uncover murals tied to Xuantian Sect and Spirit Hall. They reached the water-filled third floor, where Qian Renxue’s condition worsened and Tian Yao’s Martial Soul opened the next mechanism.

• Qian Ningshuang’s group rescued Tian Yao, Li Sushang, Ice Empress, and the others, then discovered the stitched monsters and learned the captured Beasts had entered in their true bodies.
• Li Sushang’s Soul-Entrancing Butterfly scouted the passages and found six more monster-filled caves, so Qian Renxue led everyone through a Spatial Vortex using Qingyu Flow.
• The group survived a room of Crossbow Bolts and Ground Spikes by jamming a firing hole, then escaped the collapsing mechanism into a world of gears and fled the Mechanical Saber-toothed Tigers.
• Bibi Dong appeared, protected the group, and guided them to a mural that connected Xuantian Sect’s origins to the mysterious entity, its threads, and the infant depicted in earlier carvings.
• Qian Renxue grew increasingly weak on the water-covered third floor, where the group fought sea creatures and found another mural depicting five figures and a resurrection.
• Tian Yao used her Martial Soul at the third floor’s mechanism, which matched the mural’s symbols and opened the way onward.

Qian Ningshuang and her companions crossed the fourth level of Mystic Heaven Palace, where Qian Renxue’s condition worsened as her energy was drained. After defeating Ning Ziying and reaching the Golden Tree, they left Qian Renxue to recover and continued toward the next level, while Qian Renxue discovered the being draining her was another version of herself from ten thousand years ago.

• Qian Ningshuang tried to force the Mystic Heaven Palace to yield, but the palace drained energy from her and Qian Renxue, leaving Qian Renxue too weak to continue.
• Bibi Dong used her Death Domain as the group fought back the forest’s vines and creatures, and Qian Ningshuang defeated Ning Ziying with Moment before collapsing.
• The Golden Tree healed Qian Ningshuang and cocooned Qian Renxue, who woke and asked Qian Ningshuang and Gu Yuena to continue without her.
• Qian Ningshuang, Gu Yuena, Bibi Dong, Ice Empress, and Zhan Fenghua set out for the next level after meeting the missing Pope Chang Yunchen and finding Ning Fengzhi and Ning Sa unconscious.
• Qian Renxue dismissed Tian Yao, then sent her Soul Power into her brain and entered the darkness, where she found her younger sister and another version of herself from ten thousand years ago.

Qian Renxue confronted her white-haired other half in the Mystic Heaven Palace, learning that she had endured more than ten thousand years of isolation while waiting for Qian Ningshuang. The other self planned to absorb Qian Renxue and claim Qian Ningshuang, but Qian Renxue warned that harming her heart would alert her sister.

• Qian Renxue recognized the white-haired woman as her other half and realized she had been draining Qian Renxue's life force and energy.
• The white-haired Qian Renxue wounded Qian Renxue and explained that she was the Angel God's other half, while Qian Renxue was a reincarnated remnant soul.
• The white-haired Qian Renxue revealed that she had stayed in the sealed space for more than ten thousand years because she believed Qian Ningshuang did not want her to leave.
• She showed Qian Renxue countless unfinished God Cores she had formed and abandoned, claiming her single-minded memories made her purer and better at cultivation.
• The white-haired Qian Renxue declared that she would absorb Qian Renxue and kill everyone else, but Qian Renxue warned that stopping her heart would alert Qian Ningshuang.

Qian Renxue confronted the White-Haired Person, who wanted to fuse with her, and learned how the other version had developed over ten thousand years. The White-Haired Person began absorbing Qian Renxue, while Qian Renxue’s true body reached the fifth floor and revealed that she had tested whether a projection’s death would return her to her true body.

• Qian Renxue told the White-Haired Person she could neither imprison Qian Ningshuang nor force her to belong to her alone, and urged her to accept sharing Qian Ningshuang with the others.
• The White-Haired Person refused to give up her other fusion method, but Qian Renxue agreed to be absorbed and asked to hear about her past.
• The White-Haired Person described being raised by Qian Ningshuang, their years together in Spirit City, and how she gained self-awareness as a Spirit Beast while cultivating for ten thousand years.
• Qian Renxue asked the White-Haired Person to help Qian Ningshuang and the others climb the remaining floors, and the White-Haired Person began absorbing her through darkness.
• Qian Renxue’s true body arrived on the fifth floor, where Qian Ningshuang and the others scolded her for testing whether a dead projection would return to its true body.
• Qian Renxue promised to take them directly to the final floor, where the true bodies were waiting.

Qian Ningshuang and her companions returned to their true bodies and learned how Chang Yunchen became trapped in the Mystic Heaven Palace, while Tang San reached the palace’s hidden core. Tang San revealed that the ancient corpse and its accumulated power were the foundation of his plan to challenge Spirit Hall and claim the Sea God position.

• Qian Renxue explained that she had reached a realm just below the Supreme God King by refining a stored divine position and a Soul Clone that had cultivated for ten thousand years.
• Qian Ningshuang and Gu Yuena returned to their true bodies, then joined Qian Renxue and the others in the dark space at the Mystic Heaven Palace’s core.
• Chang Yunchen stayed behind and asked Qian Ningshuang to find an orphan to inherit the Chang Yun Family’s Martial Soul and to look after a Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda Spirit Master in Spirit Hall.
• Chang Yunchen recounted how he discovered Sea God’s interest in the Mystic Heaven Palace, became trapped inside it, and entrusted Ning Zhiying with a warning sealed by a Martial Soul Oath.
• Qian Ningshuang gathered Chang Yunchen’s corpse and led the group toward the hidden space, while Tang San reached the Golden Palace and seized control of the Asura Divine Sense.
• Tang San identified the armored corpse as the legacy of his Tang Sect ancestors, containing the cultivation and God Cores of at least five First-Class Gods, and declared that it would help him contend with Spirit Hall and obtain the Sea God divine position.

Tang San learned that Sea God Island had been destroyed and that he could no longer become a God King through the Sea God inheritance, but he was encouraged by Asura God’s news that the gods would soon descend. In the Mystic Heaven Palace, Tang San extracted a sphere of divine power from an Ancient Corpse, then was struck by the corpse’s lingering resentment.

• Asura God told Tang San that Sea God Island had disappeared, leaving the Sea God divine position too weak to help him reach God King.
• Tang San blamed Spirit Hall for destroying Sea God Island, and Asura God said the gods would soon descend to the lower realm.
• Tang San approached the Ancient Corpse and was nearly overwhelmed by its heart-stirring resentment until Asura God warned him.
• Tang San removed a beating sphere of divine power from the Ancient Corpse and explained how the Mysterious Heaven Skill and Five Elements Bead would let him absorb it.
• Tang San drained the Ancient Corpse, then suffered a sudden assault of pain when its lingering resentment struck him again.

Qian Ningshuang recovered a cryptic clue from the Ancient Corpse as Tang San escaped with the Blood-Colored Small Sword, while the God Realm prepared an attack on Douluo Planet. As celestial weapons rained down and Gu Yuena fought in the sky, seven beams of light descended, and Qian Ningshuang raised the Abyss Flower to meet them.

• Qian Ningshuang restored the Ancient Corpse's eyes, retrieved a paper marked “FGO” from the light between its gaze and burned it.
• Tang San fled Mystic Heaven Palace with the Blood-Colored Small Sword and swallowed the Blood Bead, while Asura God ordered his forces to descend on Douluo Planet.
• Asura God and the other God Kings opened a passage by sacrificing Divine Beasts, and Rakshasa said she had arranged for Falian and others to target Bibi Dong.
• Meteors and weapons struck across Douluo Planet as Gu Yuena and the defenses launched attacks against the incoming forces.
• Mo Hongchen estimated the defenses could hold for about two days, but Qian Ningshuang said they only needed to hold briefly as Gu Yuena flew into the sky.
• Seven beams of light descended from the heavens, and Qian Ningshuang raised the true Abyss Flower.

Gong Changwei rescued Tang San and transferred his overflowing divine energy into Tang Wulin and Tang Xuanyu before leaving to confront a larger threat. Qian Ningshuang defeated the descending gods, but Bibi Dong and Hu Liena were struck during the ensuing Rakshasa possession, just as Gong Changwei’s pursuers arrived to condemn him.

• Tang San reflected on his past choices before Gong Changwei arrived, healed him, and moved his excess divine energy into Tang Wulin and Tang Xuanyu.
• Qian Ningshuang defeated the seven First-Class Gods, and Qian Chongling killed the Yin Yang King and collected his God Core.
• Qian Ningshuang left Qian Renxue with the dying Bibi Dong, who admitted her fault before Rakshasa’s influence intensified.
• Hu Liena arrived, but Bibi Dong pierced her chest while Qian Renxue pierced Bibi Dong; Qian Ningshuang began healing Hu Liena.
• Several God Kings, including Bow Chang Wei, Ye Yinzhu, Hai Long, and Tian Hen, appeared and accused Gong Changwei of being a scourge, while Qian Renxue and Qian Ningshuang prepared to face them.
