Eunuch Gao, disguised as the Death God Messenger, captured Bei Bei near the Third Prince's Mansion and escaped into Mingdu's sewers before the Holy Spirit Cult offering could stop him.

• The Third Prince went to the palace and met the Sun Moon Emperor, whose seizure of the throne had inspired his own princes to pursue power, leaving the empire unsettled.

Huo Yuhao met the seriously ill Sun Moon Emperor, who ordered him to help Xu Tianran manage Mingde Hall, then visited his ambitious mother consort and sensed unusual Fortune in the harem. Meanwhile, Huo Yuhao’s main body arrived in Dragon City with Zhang Lexuan, Ma Xiaotao, and two other girls, intending to explore the major powers and visit Earth Dragon Gate’s ice cave.

• Huo Yuhao’s main body entered Dragon City with Zhang Lexuan, Ma Xiaotao, and two other girls, aiming to visit Earth Dragon Gate’s ice cave.

Huo Yuhao and his companions arrived in Dragon City and chose between rival hotels run by the Sky Dragon Gate and Earth Dragon Gate. Nan Qiuqiu reunited with Huo Yuhao and, after meeting the women traveling with him, decided she still had a chance with him.

• Huo Yuhao's group entered Dragon City and learned that its two best hotels were the Sky Dragon Hotel and Earth Dragon Hotel, owned by rival sects.

• Nan Qiuqiu saw the women as rivals but relaxed when she understood they were companions and thought she still had a chance with Huo Yuhao.

Huo Yuhao and his companions stayed at the Earth Dragon Gate after meeting its sect master, Nan Shuishui. Nan Qiuqiu privately hoped to pursue Huo Yuhao, unaware that her mother had arranged their meeting under his orders and that he controlled her.

• Nan Qiuqiu invited Huo Yuhao and the Shrek group to stay at the Earth Dragon Gate, and Zhang Lexuan agreed.
• Nan Shuishui welcomed the group and left Nan Qiuqiu to arrange their lodging and show them around Dragon City.
• Nan Qiuqiu placed Huo Yuhao in the guest room closest to hers and spent the day guiding the group through the city.
• That night, Nan Qiuqiu privately encouraged herself to pursue Huo Yuhao, remembering how he had saved her during the Beast Tide.
• Nan Shuishui visited Huo Yuhao in private, revealing that she had arranged the encounter and that he intended to cultivate in the sect's Forbidden Ground.

Nan Shuishui arranged for Huo Yuhao to cultivate in Earth Dragon Gate’s Forbidden Ground, a frigid place that could benefit him because he possessed Ultimate Ice. After learning he had already entered, Zhang Lexuan and the others waited by the entrance for him to return.

• Nan Shuishui privately told Zhang Lexuan and the others that she had opened Earth Dragon Gate’s Forbidden Ground to repay Huo Yuhao and strengthen ties with Shrek Academy.
• Nan Qiuqiu warned that the Forbidden Ground’s cold could endanger even a Titled Douluo, but Nan Shuishui explained that Huo Yuhao’s Ultimate Ice made him immune to it.

• Nan Shuishui led the women to the Cold Spring well that concealed the entrance and explained that they could not safely go down to see Huo Yuhao.
• Zhang Lexuan and the others chose to wait in the garden for Huo Yuhao, and Nan Qiuqiu joined them.

Huo Yuhao absorbed the Ice Pole Divine Crystals in the Cave Abode, strengthening his body and awakening the Ghost Banner Martial Soul’s Ice Pole Domain. He then left the cave and descended farther into the spring to seek the Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Marrows.

• Huo Yuhao harvested the Ice Pole Divine Crystals and fused those containing ice spirits into his ribs and skull.
• Huo Yuhao fed most of the remaining crystals to the Ghost Banner Martial Soul, which awakened the Ice Pole Domain alongside its Life Devouring Domain.
• Huo Yuhao kept a few crystals to refine the Evil God Spear later and finished absorbing the crystals in two hours.
• Huo Yuhao left the Cave Abode and dove deeper into the spring, where the cold became difficult even for his Ultimate Ice to withstand.
• Huo Yuhao wondered how the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm had endured the cold when it reached the Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Marrow.

Huo Yuhao discovered a small Ten Thousand Year Mysterious Ice Cave filled with Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Marrow and considered using it to conceal the Heavenly Tribulation from fusing Soul Bones. He decided to proceed despite the risk to the city above, while Electrolux reluctantly accepted his choice.

• Huo Yuhao endured the pressure of the ice spring and reached a hidden cavern more than fifty meters below the surface.
• Huo Yuhao explored the cavern with Sky Dream Ice Silkworm and found a dozen pillars of Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Marrow.
• Huo Yuhao and the soul beasts struggled with the cavern’s near-absolute-zero cold, which even the Ice Attribute companions could barely withstand.
• Huo Yuhao suspected the cave could conceal Heavenly Tribulations and proposed fusing Soul Bones there.
• Huo Yuhao said he would accept a hundred-thousand-year Heavenly Tribulation and the possible loss of the city above for the sake of becoming stronger; Electrolux reluctantly fell silent.

Huo Yuhao fused his head soul bone with two spiritual-attribute soul bones, using a demonized Ghostface Centipede as the Bone Spirit. The fusion produced a 240,000-year spiritual soul bone and the Mental Whisper trait, while the sheltered location kept Heavenly Tribulation from appearing.

• Huo Yuhao chose the 100,000-year Colorful Scale Butterfly King antennae and a loyal demonized Ghostface Centipede soul to fuse with his skull bone.
• Huo Yuhao endured two hours of pain as the Ghostface Centipede became a 170,000-year Ghostface Centipede King and the fused skull bone took the form of demon horns.
• Huo Yuhao waited for Heavenly Tribulation after the fusion, but none appeared, confirming the location shielded it.
• Huo Yuhao asked Mu En to help him fuse Mu En's spiritual-attribute head soul bone with the new skull soul bone.
• Huo Yuhao gained a 240,000-year spiritual-attribute head soul bone with the Ghostface Centipede King as its Bone Spirit, new soul skills, and the stealthy Mental Whisper trait.

Huo Yuhao tested the Heavenly Tribulation’s limits, then spent two days fusing Soul Bones and strengthening his physique. With his full set of Soul Bones improved, he prepared to absorb the Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Marrow before attempting to take in the Ice Empress’s and Snow Empress’s soul rings.

• Huo Yuhao left the Ten Thousand Year Mysterious Ice Cave and confirmed that the Heavenly Tribulation could not detect the Ghostface Centipede King as long as it remained inside its Soul Bone.
• Huo Yuhao fused Mu En’s remaining Soul Bones, strengthening his Right Leg Bone and Left Arm Bone while feeding incompatible Fire Attribute and lightning-attribute Soul Bones to the Ghost Banner Martial Soul.
• Huo Yuhao fused Soul Bones gathered from three mountain ranges and the Titan Snow Demon Clan, raising the Right Arm Bone to five-hundred-fifty-thousand years and the Right Leg Bone to three-hundred-twenty-thousand years.
• Huo Yuhao fused the Evil Thorn Centipede’s soul into his Left Leg Bone, gaining the Thorn Forest characteristic and the Thorn Manipulation and Thorn Holy Sword Soul Skills.
• Huo Yuhao decided to leave his Torso Bone unchanged, finished feeding the remaining Soul Bones to the Ghost Banner Martial Soul, and judged himself ready for the Ice Empress’s soul ring but in need of more preparation for the Snow Empress’s.
• Huo Yuhao began absorbing the Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Marrow.

As Huo Yuhao remained inside Earth Dragon Gate’s Forbidden Ground, a surge of Heaven and Earth Origin Power gathered into the well, convincing Nan Shuishui that he was gaining tremendous benefits. The disturbance drew Dragon City’s soul masters to Earth Dragon Gate, where Sky Dragon Douluo arrived to investigate while Huo Yuhao remained unseen.

• Zhang Lexuan and the other women waited in the garden and drank tea made with Cold Spring water while Huo Yuhao had been inside the Forbidden Ground for six days.
• Zhang Lexuan and Nan Shuishui sensed Heaven and Earth Origin Power gathering into the well, and Ma Xiaotao explained the phenomenon to the others.
• A huge vortex formed above the well as Origin Power poured into the Forbidden Ground, drawing soul masters from across Dragon City.
• Nan Shuishui ordered Earth Dragon Gate’s soul masters to stabilize the situation and keep everyone on alert while they blocked outsiders from entering.
• Sky Dragon Douluo entered the garden despite Nan Shuishui’s rebuke, and Nan Shuishui introduced him to Zhang Lexuan, Ma Xiaotao, Ling Luochen, Wei Na, and Nan Qiuqiu.

After absorbing the Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Marrow, Huo Yuhao returned with greatly strengthened Ultimate Ice and reached Soul Saint at level 70. After recovering in Dragon City, he set out for the Far North with Nan Shuishui to obtain a Hundred Thousand Year Seventh Soul Ring.

• Sky Dragon Douluo arrived at Earth Dragon Gate and waited with Nan Shuishui as the well absorbed Heaven and Earth Origin Power.
• Huo Yuhao burst from the well, freezing the garden with his Ultimate Ice, and greeted the women after reassuring them he was safe.
• Sky Dragon Douluo sensed Huo Yuhao had reached level 70 and was astonished that he was not yet fifteen.
• Huo Yuhao spent three days recovering, and Ling Luochen and Wei Na each gained a Soul Power level from the cold around him.
• Huo Yuhao persuaded Zhang Lexuan, Ma Xiaotao, and the other women to stay behind, then departed for the Far North with Nan Shuishui.

Huo Yuhao returned to the Far North for the fourth time, intending to gain the Ice and Snow Two Emperors’ Soul Rings and claim the region’s Fortune. He postponed confronting them to make preparations, while a deadly clash in the Ice and Snow Mountain Range exposed a cache of golden Ice Bamboo Shoots.

• Huo Yuhao reflected on his previous visits to the Far North and sent Nan Shuishui away from the coming battle.
• Huo Yuhao’s Soul Beasts discussed the danger posed by the Ice and Snow Two Emperors, and Electrolux advised that only he, Huo Yuhao, Mu En, and the Healing Angel Puppet should take part.
• Huo Yuhao rejected a direct assault and said they would make preparations first.
• Two ninety-thousand-year Soul Beasts, an Ancient Mammoth and an Ice River Barbarian Dragon, fought over a treasure in the Ice and Snow Mountain Range.
• The Ancient Mammoth and Ice River Barbarian Dragon struck each other’s vital spots and died, revealing golden Ice Bamboo Shoots inside the shattered mountain.

Huo Yuhao waited for the Ice and Snow Two Emperors to investigate the fake Ultimate Ice treasure he had planted, while discussing Sky Dream Ice Silkworm’s feelings for the Ice Empress. The arrival of Ice Bear King Xiao Bai signaled that the two Emperors were near.

• Huo Yuhao watched powerful soul beasts gather around his counterfeit Ice Bamboo Shoot and waited for the Ice and Snow Two Emperors to take the bait.
• Huo Yuhao kept the soul beasts from fighting while secretly preparing to collect their Beast Souls and memorizing their auras for a later hunt.
• Huo Yuhao asked Sky Dream Ice Silkworm about his feelings for the Ice Empress, and Sky Dream admitted he had been influenced by Huo Yuhao and prioritized loyalty over love.
• Huo Yuhao offered to let Sky Dream Ice Silkworm use his body, leaving Sky Dream speechless.
• Ice Bear King Xiao Bai arrived as the vanguard of the Ice and Snow Two Emperors, and Huo Yuhao recognized that they were coming.

Xiao Bai led the Ice Bear Clan to claim an Ice Bamboo Shoot for the Snow Empress, but its potent sap provoked the surrounding soul beasts into attacking him. The Snow Empress and Ice Empress arrived and silenced the battlefield as Xiao Bai presented the treasure to his mother.

• Xiao Bai and the Ice Bear Clan arrived at the mountain and intimidated most of the surrounding soul beasts.
• Xiao Bai cut the Ice Bamboo Shoot free and discovered golden sap pooled at its base.
• The sap's fragrance drove the soul beasts to attack Xiao Bai and the Ice Bear Clan, forcing Xiao Bai to defend the treasure while protecting it from three Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts.
• Huo Yuhao sensed two powerful auras approaching and hid as the Snow Empress and Ice Empress descended, cowing the battlefield.
• Xiao Bai ran to the Snow Empress and raised the Ice Bamboo Shoot to show her what he had found.

The Snow Empress discovered that the Ice Bamboo Shoot was actually a hundred-thousand-year Ice Pole Divine Crystal spirit and decided to use it to transform. As the Ice Empress prepared to protect her and Xiao Bai consumed the remaining Life Force, Huo Yuhao and the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm moved to follow them.

• The Snow Empress and Ice Empress arrived after Xiao Bai encountered the soul beasts and cleared the area around the Ice Bamboo Shoot.
• Xiao Bai offered the treasure to the Snow Empress, who found liquefied Life Force and a hundred-thousand-year spirit inside it.
• The Snow Empress identified the treasure as an Ice Pole Divine Crystal that had become a soul beast and recognized its potential for her transformation.
• The Snow Empress told Xiao Bai to consume the remaining golden liquid to strengthen himself, then prepared to transform while the Ice Empress guarded her.
• Huo Yuhao watched the two Empresses depart and told the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm they needed to follow.

The Snow Empress began sealing her origin and rebuilding herself with the Ice Bamboo Shoot while the Ice Empress guarded the Ice and Snow Palace. As her power waned, Huo Yuhao waited for the moment she fully transformed, but a stranger discovered her vulnerable state.

• The Snow Empress inspected the Ice Bamboo Shoot, then began merging with it inside the Ice and Snow Palace as the Ice Empress stood guard.
• The Snow Empress explained through her actions that she was using the Ice Bamboo Shoot to seal her origin, transform, and gain the potential for twin martial souls.
• Huo Yuhao sensed the fusion beginning and told Sky Dream Ice Silkworm to wait until the Snow Empress had sealed her cultivation and started transforming.
• The Snow Empress's aura weakened from the level of a five-hundred-thousand-year soul beast to three hundred thousand years while the Ice Empress deterred nearby soul beasts.
• A strange voice laughed and announced that it had found the Snow Empress transforming and rebuilding herself.

Huo Yuhao confronted the Ice Emperor outside the Ice and Snow Palace while the Snow Empress underwent a dangerous transformation inside. He merged with and controlled the Mutated Frost Centipede Martial Soul to overcome its inexperience, but the Ice Emperor countered his attacks and prepared to strike back.

• The Ice Emperor mistook Huo Yuhao for a human intruder, and he attacked first with Frost Centipede Poison.
• The Ice Emperor unleashed Eternal Frozen Domain, but the Mutated Frost Centipede Martial Soul answered with Frost Centipede Domain, revealing its Ultimate Ice attribute.
• Huo Yuhao merged with the Mutated Frost Centipede Martial Soul and took control of its body to compensate for its lack of battle experience.
• Huo Yuhao expanded the martial soul with Frost Centipede True Body and Frost Centipede Tyrant Transformation, then used Tyrant's Roar to batter the Ice Emperor.
• The Ice Emperor protected herself with Ice Emperor Bodyguard, leapt into the air, and attacked the Mutated Frost Centipede Martial Soul with Ice Emperor's Claw.

Huo Yuhao fought the Ice Empress outside the Ice and Snow Palace, revealing that his Mutated Frost Centipede Martial Soul could match her in combat. Reinforcements arrived and surrounded him, leaving him to face the assembled soul beasts as he opened his eyes and acknowledged that everyone was there.

• Huo Yuhao and the Ice Empress clashed with powerful attacks, and neither gained the advantage.
• Huo Yuhao reminded the Ice Empress that he had visited the Far North with Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, then said he had come to kill her and the Snow Empress.
• The Ice Empress attacked Huo Yuhao, but his Mutated Frost Centipede Martial Soul used Darkgold Defense and Darkgold Centipede Foot to fight her off.
• Xiao Bai led the Ice Bear Clan to the Ice and Snow Palace, and the Ice Jade Scorpion Clan also arrived to support the Ice Empress.
• The Ice Empress ordered the soul beasts to capture Huo Yuhao alive, and the assembled clans surrounded him.
• Huo Yuhao withdrew his consciousness from the Mutated Frost Centipede Martial Soul, opened his eyes, and said that everyone was there.
