Chapter Summaries

Xu Tiancheng attempted to break through level one hundred by using the fifth layer of the Nine Deaths Divine Skill, only to discover that the skill had five genuine layers and four useless ones. His breakthrough failed, but the Fire God selected him for a divine trial, leaving him with a flame mark.

• Xu Tiancheng prepared to break through level one hundred by drawing on Huo Yuhao's divine power and crippling his own cultivation to practice the fifth layer of the Nine Deaths Divine Skill.
• Xu Tiancheng reshaped his shattered dantian with divine power, but the fifth-layer cultivation method failed to break the level-one-hundred barrier.
• Xu Tiancheng discovered that the Nine Deaths Divine Skill's fifth layer removed the earlier layers' restrictions and side effects, while its sixth through ninth layers had no effect.
• The Fire God noticed Xu Tiancheng's talent and sent down a divine trial, marking his forehead with a flame and naming the Fire God Trial.

Huo Yuhao considered the risks of attracting more god inheritances and explained Xu Tiancheng’s Fire God Trial and plans to surpass the Fire God’s limits. At Shrek Academy, Jiang Nannan worried that she could not find a Martial Soul Fusion Skill partner, until Old Song suggested the Love God Seat might let her choose one.

• Huo Yuhao reasoned that Xu Tiancheng’s inheritance was an unusual chance and that pursuing more inheritances could alert Old Farts Tang and scatter the gods across the cosmos.
• Huo Yuhao explained that Xu Tiancheng’s Fire God Trial required retrieving the Heavenly Burning Divine Pestle, finding a talented water- or ice-attribute Soul Master, and defeating the Fire Divine Beast.
• Huo Yuhao noted that Xu Tiancheng intended to exceed the Fire God’s Level One limit and might use the Water God inheritor as nourishment, while enduring the secret realm’s flames slowly raised his affinity.
• Jiang Nannan lamented that she had found no Soul Master compatible enough to perform a Martial Soul Fusion Skill with her.
• Old Song suggested that Jiang Nannan’s affinity with the Love God Seat might mean she could choose her fusion partner rather than search for one.

Old Song explained that Jiang Nannan’s Love God trial required her to develop a Martial Soul Fusion Skill with a suitable partner, then urged her to choose Huo Yuhao so they might ascend together. Jiang Nannan agreed to seek him out, unaware that Huo Yuhao had overheard their conversation while refining the Golden Ancient Tree.

• Old Song told Jiang Nannan that godhood inheritances could depend on lovers and that Oscar and Ning Rongrong had wielded a god-tier Martial Soul Fusion Skill together.
• Jiang Nannan realized the Love God trial pointed toward choosing a lover, rejected Xu San Shi, and grew conflicted when Old Song suggested Huo Yuhao.
• Old Song argued that Huo Yuhao was Jiang Nannan’s best chance to become a god alongside someone, and Jiang Nannan agreed to try developing a Martial Soul Fusion Skill with him.
• Huo Yuhao revealed that he had overheard them through the Golden Ancient Tree and continued refining it as he waited for Jiang Nannan.

The Thunder Soul Emperor Zombie completed its transformation, gained intelligence and two God-level Martial Souls, and devoured the Death God Messenger. Huo Yuhao used the soul ring as a path into the zombie’s frail soul and took control of its body.

• The Death God Messenger found the Thunder Soul Emperor Zombie on the ruined palace throne and prepared to refine it.
• The Thunder Soul Emperor Zombie awakened, pierced the Death God Messenger, and revealed that it had inherited the Douling Emperor’s memories.
• The Thunder Soul Emperor Zombie announced its Emperor Zombie and World-Destroying Swan God-level Martial Souls, then devoured the Death God Messenger into a black-gold soul ring.
• Huo Yuhao used the soul ring to enter the Thunder Soul Emperor Zombie’s body and found its newly born soul weak.
• Huo Yuhao overcame the Thunder Soul Emperor Zombie’s resistance and took control as its eyes lit with Buddha light.

Huo Yuhao discovered that the Thunder Soul Emperor Zombie needed the Death God Messenger’s final breath of Life Qi to complete its transformation, then seized its body and explored its new powers. He named himself Corpse God and chose three zombies as soul rings, while his World-Destroying Swan martial soul remained too dangerous to investigate.

• Huo Yuhao learned that the Thunder Soul Emperor Zombie had been unable to move until it devoured the Death God Messenger and gained Life Qi.
• The Thunder Soul Emperor Zombie completed its transformation, sending a blood-red pillar over Lingdou City and drawing zombies to gather outside it.
• Zhang Lexuan led Han Ruoruo and other Supervision Group experts toward Lingdou City, where they saw the sky turn red beneath the Death Qi.
• Huo Yuhao examined the transformed zombie’s level-one-hundred strength, Zombie Emperor Domain, inherited Death God Messenger abilities, and dangerous World-Destroying Swan martial soul.
• Huo Yuhao called himself Corpse God, took the Death God Messenger’s equipment, and selected the Bronze Armor General Zombie, Star Crown Emperor Zombie, and Seven Treasure Zombie as soul rings.

The Corpse God ambushed the Supervision Group outside Lingdou City and overwhelmed Zhang Lexuan and two Sea God Pavilion elders with his Zombie Emperor Domain. Zhang Lexuan escaped to warn the academy, while the Corpse God captured the elders and turned them into zombies, gaining new powers from their martial souls.

• The Supervision Group learned that over one hundred thousand zombies had gathered outside Lingdou City and decided to retreat to seek reinforcements.
• The Corpse God appeared above the group, and Zhang Lexuan and two elder veterans stayed behind to cover Han Ruoruo and the others' escape.
• The Corpse God trapped the three fighters in his Zombie Emperor Domain, where their strength and vitality were steadily drained.
• Zhang Lexuan used Bright Moon Intent and Silver Moon's Pride to open a path through the domain, but the two elders pushed her out and stayed to face the Corpse God.
• The Corpse God seized the elders before they could sacrifice themselves and transformed them into zombies, gaining the powers of their Thunder Axe and Concentric Rings martial souls.

The Supervision Group remained trapped in the Dou Ling Empire while Huo Yuhao spent peaceful days at Shrek Academy, growing closer to Jiang Nannan as they repeatedly failed to fuse their Soul Power. That peace ended when Shrek learned that Wei Na was set to become the Heaven Dou Empress with the Body Sect's support, amid Cihang Demon's return.

• The Zombie Army kept the Supervision Group isolated in the Dou Ling Empire, and Huo Yuhao decided it should not return because its involvement would complicate what came next.
• Jiang Nannan began visiting Huo Yuhao daily to attempt Soul Power fusion, and their relationship warmed even though the attempts failed under the influence of her Love God's God Trial.
• Huo Yuhao enjoyed a quiet routine at Shrek Academy, cultivating the Golden Ancient Tree and spending time with Jiang Nannan, Bei Bei, Xian Lin'er, and Cai Meier.
• Old Lin announced that Cihang Demon had attacked the Heaven Dou Empire, killed princes, and driven the Tianhun Emperor to his death, after which the imperial clan and ministers chose Wei Na as the next empress.
• Yan Shaozhe explained that Du Busi and the Body Sect supported Wei Na, likely in exchange for the Body Sect's return to prominence in the Heaven Dou Empire.
• The Sea God Pavilion elders turned to discussing how Shrek Academy would deal with the Heaven Dou Empire, the Body Sect, and Cihang Demon.

After Wei Na secured the Heaven Dou throne, Huo Yuhao’s control over the Four Great Empires led his luck to form a golden incarnation with the power of Eternal Fortune. He examined the new Humanity Luck Golden Body and noticed several black regions still remained on the map of Douluo Continent.

• Huo Yuhao learned that Du Busi’s poison had passed through Long Aotian, Nan Shuishui, and Yu Mengdi before Xing Nianci used it to kill the Heavenly Soul Emperor.
• Wei Na, having awakened her Body Martial Soul and lost her memories of Huo Yuhao, became a ruthless Empress and prepared to remove those who challenged her authority.
• The Corpse God received the Heavenly Soul Emperor’s corpse as his Seventh Soul Ring, strengthening his Emperor True Body with the power of frost and Dragon Qi.
• After Wei Na secured the throne, Huo Yuhao’s Luck Golden Field split open and produced a golden incarnation, while projections of his subordinates’ martial souls appeared above it.
• Huo Yuhao discovered that the Luck Golden Body could act as an external incarnation and grant Eternal Fortune, then saw black regions remaining on its map of Douluo Continent.

The Four Great Empires allied and, under Huo Yuhao’s direction, planted his Golden Ancient Tree flags across soul beast forests and absorbed factions, expanding his control and luck. As Shrek Academy investigated the missing Supervision Group and searched for Xuan Zi, Huo Yuhao stayed behind to guard the academy.

• The Four Great Empires announced their alliance and sent troops into soul beast forests to plant Huo Yuhao’s formation flags.
• A hidden three-hundred-thousand-year Ferocious Beast killed a soul master squad, so Du Busi captured it and took it to the Body Sect as Long Aotian’s ninth soul ring.
• The empires discovered ruins, mineral deposits, inheritances, and factions, then divided or absorbed them under Huo Yuhao’s influence.
• Huo Yuhao’s luck map revealed more of the continent, and he gained a growing ability to sense disasters, unrest, and newly powerful experts.
• The Sea God Pavilion discovered the Supervision Group had gone missing and sent elders to investigate the Dou Ling Empire while others searched for Xuan Zi.
• Huo Yuhao promised to guard Shrek Academy while the elders were away.

Xu Tiancheng agreed to join Zhongli Wu, Ye Xishui, and Long Xiaoyao in an attack on Shrek Academy. After the three left, Long Xiaoyao set aside his reluctance over Mu En’s former home and agreed to support Ye Xishui.

• Huo Yuhao’s plan to arrange a war against Shrek was interrupted when Zhongli Wu sought out Xu Tiancheng with Ye Xishui and Long Xiaoyao.
• Xu Tiancheng noticed Zhongli Wu had reached rank 99 and saw a Dragon Shadow in his Fortune.
• Zhongli Wu urged Xu Tiancheng to attack Shrek while its strongest defenders were away, and Long Xiaoyao and Ye Xishui argued that the four Limit Douluo could destroy it.
• Xu Tiancheng agreed that the four of them would attack Shrek without bringing troops, and Zhongli Wu left to prepare.
• Ye Xishui reminded Long Xiaoyao that she needed his strength, and he agreed to act despite his concern for Mu En’s connection to Shrek.

Ye Xishui and Long Xiaoyao plotted to exploit the coming battle against Xu Tiancheng, while Xu Tiancheng planned to use five carefully cultivated women to draw the Elemental Gods into inheriting their divine positions. Huo Yuhao revised his script to make Shrek’s destruction more dramatic, then joined Jiang Nannan to practice their Martial Soul Fusion Skill.

• Ye Xishui told Long Xiaoyao that they could let Zhongli Wu fight Xu Tiancheng and then seize an opportunity to obtain their secrets and powers.
• Ye Xishui warned Long Xiaoyao that the emperor’s five women were Soul Douluos, and Long Xiaoyao promised to help her while she urged him not to take risks.
• Xu Tiancheng overheard their conversation with his Primordial Spirit and revealed that the five women were candidates he had cultivated to attract the Seven Elemental Gods and undermine Old Farts Tang.
• Huo Yuhao revised his script to add Cihang Demon and Corpse God to the attack on Shrek Academy and wondered whether Old Farts Tang would regret his past choices.
• Jiang Nannan came to practice their Martial Soul Fusion Skill with Huo Yuhao, and he agreed to cooperate.

Huo Yuhao prepared to leave Shrek as Xu Tiancheng arrived and warned that the Holy Spirit Cult planned to attack the city, offering to take him and Shrek's other experts into the Sun Moon Empire. Huo Yuhao refused, and the Holy Spirit Cult's three Limit Douluo appeared above Shrek as the chapter ended with Huo Yuhao recognizing Ye Xishui.

• Huo Yuhao reflected on Shrek's prosperity and his approaching departure and breakthrough.
• Xu Tiancheng descended on Shrek City and offered to protect Huo Yuhao and Shrek's talents by bringing them into the Sun Moon Empire.
• Huo Yuhao refused Xu Tiancheng's offer and declared that he would defend Shrek alongside the Sea God Pavilion.
• Xu Tiancheng withdrew into the dark clouds, where Zhongli Wu, Ye Xishui, and Long Xiaoyao appeared as the Holy Spirit Cult's forces.
• Xian Lin'er and Cai Meier identified Zhongli Wu, Old Lin recognized Long Xiaoyao, and Huo Yuhao focused on Ye Xishui.

Three Limit Douluo from the Holy Spirit Cult besieged Shrek, but Huo Yuhao refused to flee and set out to draw on the Golden Ancient Tree’s power. Zhongli Wu then summoned a transformed Bone Dragon King, prompting a mysterious divine command for the Ferocious Beasts to capture it and alarming Xu Tiancheng, who sensed the Purple Emperor Annihilation Heavenly Dragon’s power within it.

• Ye Xishui, Long Xiaoyao, and Zhongli Wu revealed their strength above Shrek City, while Shi Xing raised the citywide barrier and Shrek’s defenders prepared for battle.
• Yan Shaozhe and Old Lin urged Huo Yuhao to lead the Inner Court disciples through a secret passage, but Huo Yuhao refused to abandon Shrek and proposed using the Golden Ancient Tree to resist the Limit Douluo.
• Huo Yuhao flew toward Sea God Island to borrow the Golden Ancient Tree’s power as Zhongli Wu waited for Shrek to make its move.
• Zhongli Wu displayed an unusual soul-ring configuration and summoned a gigantic Bone Dragon King infused with Destruction power, startling Ye Xishui and Long Xiaoyao.
• A voice ordered the Ferocious Beasts to bring back the Bone Dragon King dead or alive, and Bear Lord led Scarlet King and other Beast Kings out from the Core Region.
• Xu Tiancheng sensed the Purple Emperor Annihilation Heavenly Dragon’s power in the Bone Dragon King and wondered where Zhongli Wu had obtained it.

Zhongli Wu led the Bone Dragon King in an assault on Shrek City, where Shi Xing used the city’s Soul Guidance Barrier to withstand its first attack. After the Bone Dragon King shattered that barrier and charged into the city, Huo Yuhao awakened the Golden Ancient Tree to protect Shrek and called its defenders to counterattack.

• Xu Tiancheng recognized that the Bone Dragon King had gained the Purple Emperor Annihilation Heavenly Dragon’s inheritance and a greater, purer share of its origin than he possessed.
• Zhongli Wu ordered the Bone Dragon King to attack Shrek City with its Wind Fire Destruction Tornado, and Shi Xing used Time-Space Rewind to keep the Soul Guidance Barrier from collapsing.
• The Bone Dragon King tore through the weakened barrier and entered Shrek City, despite the City Defense Army’s attacks.
• The Golden Ancient Tree created a golden barrier that drove the Bone Dragon King out of the city and resisted its Destruction Power.
• Huo Yuhao identified himself as the Sea God Pavilion Master, vowed to protect Shrek’s defenders with the Golden Ancient Tree, and called them to counterattack.

Huo Yuhao used the Golden Ancient Tree to protect Shrek City and strengthen its defenders, but Zhongli Wu, Ye Xishui, and Long Xiaoyao broke through the barrier. The chapter ended with Shrek’s Titled Douluo confronting the invaders in a battle supported by the Golden Ancient Tree.

• Huo Yuhao spread the Golden Ancient Tree’s power over Shrek City, restoring hope and strengthening the city’s defenses.
• Ye Xishui and Long Xiaoyao weakened and pierced the Golden Ancient Tree’s barrier, allowing Zhongli Wu and the Bone Dragon King to enter with them.
• The Golden Ancient Tree empowered the City Defense Army enough to injure the Bone Dragon King, while more than a dozen Titled Douluo surrounded the invaders.
• Shi Xing and the other Titled Douluo engaged Zhongli Wu, while Yan Shaozhe, Xian Lin'er, Cai Meier, and their allies confronted Long Xiaoyao and Ye Xishui.

Tang Ya and Feng Ling led Holy Spirit Cult forces in a surprise attack on Shrek Academy while Zhongli Wu fought elsewhere. Tang Ya killed Du Weilun with her transformed Dark Blue Silver Grass, and the attackers continued toward Sea God Pavilion to target Huo Yuhao.

• Tang Ya and Feng Ling led more than twenty Holy Spirit Cult members through Shrek Academy's main gate and headed for Sea God Island.
• Du Weilun rallied the Outer Academy's faculty and staff, but Feng Ling and Zhang Peng moved to block them while the other offerings pressed toward Sea God Pavilion.
• Tang Ya confronted Du Weilun, who recognized her and attacked her in anger.
• Tang Ya used her Dark Blue Silver Grass to ensnare and consume Du Weilun, leaving only his torn robes behind.

Tang Ya led the Holy Spirit Cult’s attack toward the Sea God Pavilion, but Huo Yuhao shielded Sea God Island and its surviving Shrek residents with the Golden Ancient Tree’s barrier. As the cult prepared to bombard the island, Jiang Nannan confronted Tang Ya and challenged her to a duel, which Tang Ya accepted while offering only to spare ten people if she lost.

• Tang Ya left Feng Ling and Zhang Peng to slaughter the Outer Academy’s defenders and continued toward the Sea God Pavilion after Du Weilun fell.
• Huo Yuhao summoned the Golden Ancient Tree’s power to protect the remaining Outer Academy faculty and staff, guiding them to safety on Sea God Island.
• Tang Ya and the Holy Spirit Cult’s forces gathered outside Sea God Island, where they could not breach Huo Yuhao’s golden barrier.
• Feng Ling ordered the cult to attack the barrier and surround the island with six-class Standard Soul Cannon Shells.
• Jiang Nannan confronted Tang Ya and refused to abandon Shrek or join the Holy Spirit Cult.
• Jiang Nannan challenged Tang Ya to a duel; Tang Ya accepted and promised to let ten people leave safely if she lost.

Jiang Nannan accepted a soul duel with Tang Ya to win a chance to save ten people, while Huo Yuhao secured the battlefield on the frozen Sea God Lake. Their fight began with Jiang Nannan striking at Tang Ya, but Tang Ya escaped using a Dark Blue Silver Grass substitute.

• Jiang Nannan accepted the wager despite Shrek’s students arguing over whether they could trust her, and she asked Huo Yuhao to plant power in her heart so he could kill her if she betrayed Shrek.
• Huo Yuhao trusted Jiang Nannan, left power in her heart, and challenged the Holy Spirit Cult to hold the duel on Sea God Lake.
• Huo Yuhao froze the entire lake with Ultimate Ice, alarming the Holy Spirit Cult’s experts, and Jiang Nannan and Tang Ya took their places for the duel.
• Tang Ya unleashed her Dark Blue Silver Grass while Jiang Nannan charged, completed Martial Soul Possession, and used Teleportation to attack from behind.
• Jiang Nannan’s kick shattered a Dark Blue Silver Grass substitute instead of Tang Ya, and she retreated as Tang Ya emerged unharmed and the battle continued.

Tang Ya and Jiang Nannan fought in the tournament, with Tang Ya gradually gaining the advantage through control and endurance. Jiang Nannan refused to surrender for Shrek and unleashed her Martial Soul Avatar, prompting Tang Ya to answer with her own.

• Tang Ya used the modified Heavenly Demon Codex and Dark Blue Silver Grass to restrain Jiang Nannan while conserving her strongest soul skills.
• Jiang Nannan relied on her speed, Soul Bones, and Soft Bone Avatar, but Tang Ya's greater martial soul quality and combat experience began to turn the battle in her favor.
• Jiang Nannan realized she was at a disadvantage, paused the fight, and told Tang Ya she would not lose for Shrek.
• Jiang Nannan activated her Seventh Soul Skill, Soft Bone Rabbit Avatar, and charged at Tang Ya.
• Tang Ya activated her Seventh Soul Skill, Dark Blue Silver True Body, raising a tree of Dark Blue Silver Grass from the ice.

Tang Ya and Jiang Nannan fought a fierce soul duel as Jiang Nannan weakened Tang Ya’s Dark Blue Silver Tree with seawater frozen by Huo Yuhao’s Ultimate Ice. When Jiang Nannan launched a decisive strike, Feng Ling intervened, but Huo Yuhao’s Mutated Frost Centipede blocked the attack and protected her.

• Tang Ya activated her Dark Blue Silver Domain, which slowed Jiang Nannan and began devouring her Soul Power.
• Jiang Nannan used Mermaid Bay and Mermaid Song of Speed to weaken the domain, boost her speed, and attack Tang Ya’s Dark Blue Silver Tree.
• Tang Ya gained the upper hand as their avatars traded blows, but Jiang Nannan secretly drove seawater into the tree, where Huo Yuhao’s Ultimate Ice froze it from within.
• Jiang Nannan revealed the frozen damage, distracted Tang Ya, removed the domain’s suppression with Mermaid’s Tears, and prepared a final strike.
• Feng Ling attacked Jiang Nannan as she struck, but Huo Yuhao’s Mutated Frost Centipede arrived and shielded her from Feng Ling’s blow.
