Chapter Summaries

Huo Yuhao revealed that rare fine wine could rapidly raise his cultivation, and the Sea Princess produced six jars of Ocean's Tears, a thousand-year-old wine made with Bangle Maiden Pearls. After confirming that it surpassed Top-Grade Fine Wine, Huo Yuhao prepared to use it to increase his strength and save Li Ya.

• Huo Yuhao showed the Sea Princess his Soul Core and explained that exceptionally high-quality wine could help him reach Rank 90 quickly.
• The Sea Princess rushed off to fetch wine, while Li Jing recalled that the Bangle Maiden Clan had gifted ten jars to the Sea Princess a thousand years earlier.
• Li Jing explained that Ocean's Tears was brewed with Bangle Maiden Pearls, leaving six jars after Li Ya accidentally broke four.
• The Sea Princess returned with six jars, and Huo Yuhao sniffed one and sensed his Soul Power stirring.
• Huo Yuhao confirmed Ocean's Tears met his requirements, and the Sea Princess urged him to drink it so he could gain enough strength to save Li Ya.

Huo Yuhao drank the Sea Princess's Ocean's Tears and used their extraordinary effect to raise his Soul Power to the Level Ninety Bottleneck. With the breakthrough needed to save Li Ya now within reach, the Sea Princess offered to help him rapidly improve his Spiritual Power.

• Huo Yuhao warned the Sea Princess that reaching Level Ninety and becoming a Titled Douluo might not be enough to use the secret technique without breaking through to the Tangible and Formed spiritual realm.
• The Sea Princess said she might have another way to improve Huo Yuhao's Spiritual Power, and Huo Yuhao agreed to try the Ocean's Tears.
• Huo Yuhao drank the first jug and received a huge Soul Power increase, rising from Level Eighty-Four to Level Eighty-Five.
• Huo Yuhao drank the five remaining jugs, astonishing the Sea Princess, Li Jing, and the awakened tenants as his Soul Power reached the Level Ninety Bottleneck.
• The Sea Princess offered to help Huo Yuhao improve his Spiritual Power and possibly reach the Tangible and Formed realm.

The Sea Princess sacrificed her golden Spiritual Origin pearls to strengthen Huo Yuhao’s Spiritual Power, hoping he would eventually break through and help Li Ya. After absorbing a hundred pearls, Huo Yuhao advanced to Tangible and Formed Spiritual Power, while the Sea Princess was left weakened but hopeful.

• The Sea Princess explained that her golden tears contained pure Spiritual Origin and could rapidly improve Huo Yuhao’s Spiritual Power.
• The Sea Princess chose to help Huo Yuhao despite the cost, and he promised to do everything he could to help Li Ya if he broke through to become a Titled Douluo.
• The Sea Princess guided a hundred golden pearls into Huo Yuhao, whose spiritual Soul Core absorbed their power and grew more stable.
• Huo Yuhao’s Spiritual Power transformed from Tangible but Formless to Tangible and Formed, astonishing the residents of his Spiritual Sea.
• The Sea Princess sensed Huo Yuhao’s breakthrough and looked at him intensely despite her pale face and diminished light.

After the Sea Princess helped Huo Yuhao raise his Spiritual Power to the Tangible and Formed level, he entered her underwater cultivation chamber to condense his Second Soul Core and reach Titled Douluo. Ilyas began explaining the risks and principles of the breakthrough, which would be far harder for Huo Yuhao because he had already formed his first Soul Core in his brain.

• The Sea Princess expended over a hundred golden pearls, helping Huo Yuhao's Spiritual Power reach the Tangible and Formed level and his Ice God Eyes reach Gold Grade Second Awakening.
• Huo Yuhao asked the Sea Princess for a Quiet Chamber so he could condense his Second Soul Core, break through to Titled Douluo, and help Li Ya.
• The Sea Princess brought Huo Yuhao to her enormous seashell cultivation chamber, explained how to enter and leave, and waited outside as he went in.
• Inside the chamber, Huo Yuhao's soul companions marveled at his Drunken Sword Immortal Martial Soul and its seemingly prophetic opportunities.
• Ilyas explained that Huo Yuhao needed a Second Soul Core to break through, and that his unusual first Soul Core made the process exceptionally difficult.

Ilyas explained the principles and dangers of forming a Second Soul Core to Huo Yuhao, describing Isotopic Resonance and Yin-Yang Complement as the two known methods. He warned Huo Yuhao that instability and disrupted circulation could cause a deadly cultivation deviation.

• Ilyas explained that forming a Second Soul Core required controlling Soul Power, Spiritual Power, and the First Soul Core, which would resist a second center encroaching on its domain.
• Ilyas warned Huo Yuhao not to rush the process, since an unstable Soul Core could explode and destroy both his body and soul.
• Ilyas described Isotopic Resonance, in which a Soul Master matched the First Soul Core's frequency before accelerating the circulation to establish a second center.
• Ilyas said Isotopic Resonance was comparatively safe, while Yin-Yang Complement brought greater danger and greater gains by making the Second Soul Core operate oppositely to the First.
• Huo Yuhao asked whether opposite circulation would cause a cultivation deviation, and Ilyas explained that the greatest danger came when chaos disrupted the original cycle during condensation.

Huo Yuhao learned that the risky Yin-Yang Complement method could create a more powerful Second Soul Core, though no human Soul Master had succeeded with it. Ilyas argued that Yuhao’s exceptional body, Spiritual Power, and Gold of Life made him uniquely suited to try, leaving Yuhao convinced his advantages surpassed even Huo Gua’s.

• Ilyas explained that the Yin-Yang Complement method required building a second Soul Core through reverse circulation and could kill its user if the cores failed to fuse.
• Ilyas revealed that Di Tian was the only recorded success, and that his powerful body and vast Spiritual Power had enabled him to succeed.
• Snow Empress recognized that Yuhao possessed the advantages needed for the method, and Ilyas recommended that he use it.
• Ilyas cited Yuhao’s Spirit Bones, Gold of Life, and Tangible and Formed Spiritual Power as reasons he had a chance to succeed.
• Huo Yuhao realized his own conditions were even better than Huo Gua’s and understood why he could accomplish what no human Soul Master had done before.

Ilyas explained why Huo Yuhao should form his Second Soul Core in his chest and outlined how it could complement his First Soul Core. After Snow Empress shared her own failed attempt and the dangers of the method, Huo Yuhao prepared to begin the breakthrough with all six Soul Spirits supporting him.

• Ilyas explained that placing Huo Yuhao's Second Soul Core in his chest would preserve room for a future Third Soul Core and allow Soul Power and Spiritual Power to complement each other.
• Ilyas said Huo Yuhao would need Ice Empress's help because her torso bone and Ultimate Ice power were centered in his chest.
• Snow Empress revealed that she had once failed to condense a Soul Core and explained how the method's physical strain and the soul beasts' bodies made it difficult.
• Huo Yuhao decided to proceed, adjusted himself to his peak condition, and summoned his six Soul Spirits.
• Ilyas urged Snow Empress, Ice Empress, Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass, Ice Bear King Xiao Bai, and Sky Dream Ice Silkworm to help Huo Yuhao overcome the breakthrough.

Huo Yuhao prepared to form a Yin-Yang Complement Soul Core with the Soul Spirits’ help. As the procedure began, he drained Soul Power from his Spiritual Soul Core, while his torso bone absorbed the overflow from his meridians.

• Snow Empress assigned the Soul Spirits their roles, with Ice Empress leading the Ultimate Ice support and Sky Dream Ice Silkworm stabilizing the Spiritual Soul Core.
• Snow Empress told Huo Yuhao to use the Life Spirit Watching Blade and its life energy if his body faltered, then secretly communicated with Ice Empress.
• Huo Yuhao took out the Life Spirit Watching Blade, circulated his Soul Power, and gathered the Soul Spirits around his body.
• Snow Empress instructed Huo Yuhao to draw Soul Power away from his Spiritual Soul Core while leaving Spiritual Power behind.
• Huo Yuhao’s meridians filled with the displaced Soul Power, and his Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion Torso Bone absorbed it to make room.
• Huo Yuhao continued draining Soul Power as his Spiritual Soul Core grew more active and his Spiritual Power spread outward.

Huo Yuhao drew Soul Power from his Spiritual Soul Core while Sky Dream Ice Silkworm and Ilyas stabilized and isolated it. Snow Empress and Ice Empress continued absorbing the Soul Power to help condense a second Soul Core, leaving Huo Yuhao drained and weak.

• Sky Dream Ice Silkworm isolated Huo Yuhao's Spiritual Soul Core from the outside and slowed its rotation while Huo Yuhao extracted its Soul Power.
• Ilyas used his Divine Sense to stabilize and suppress the Soul Core as Sky Dream Ice Silkworm continued supporting Huo Yuhao.
• Ice Empress controlled the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion Torso Bone as it absorbed nearly half of Huo Yuhao's Soul Power.
• Snow Empress formed a diamond-shaped ice crystal in Huo Yuhao's dantian and drew Soul Power toward it to compress it.
• Huo Yuhao let the Soul Power flow from his Spiritual Soul Core toward Snow Empress's ice crystal and Ice Empress's torso bone.
• Snow Empress and Ice Empress drained the remaining Soul Power from Huo Yuhao, leaving him feeling weak and empty.

Snow Empress began condensing Huo Yuhao’s Second Soul Core from Ultimate Ice Soul Power while Huo Yuhao struggled to keep his Spiritual Soul Core from attacking it. The process continued as Ice Empress defended the new core and Ilyas briefly steadied Huo Yuhao’s mind.

• Snow Empress warned Huo Yuhao that his Spiritual Soul Core would resist the Second Soul Core and asked him to keep it under control.
• Snow Empress drew Ultimate Ice Soul Power from her ice crystal and began condensing a counterclockwise-rotating core in Huo Yuhao’s chest.
• Huo Yuhao suppressed his Spiritual Soul Core as it trembled and resisted, while Ilyas briefly helped stabilize his mental state.
• Snow Empress told Huo Yuhao to loosen his control slightly so the cores could adapt, and his Spiritual Power surged toward the new core.
• Ice Empress blocked the Spiritual Power, and Huo Yuhao endured the pain as the Ultimate Ice Soul Power grew to the size of a soybean.

Huo Yuhao endured immense pain as he tried to control the opposing forces of his growing Spiritual Soul Core and Ultimate Ice Soul Power. Outside the cultivation chamber, the Sea Princess and Li Jing watched the perilous process and were awed by his determination.

• Xiao Bai's power protected Huo Yuhao's body as his Spiritual Soul Core and Ultimate Ice Soul Power grew and inflicted increasing pain.
• The Snow Empress Crystal rose toward the Ultimate Ice Soul Power, while the Ice Empress allowed a tiny trace of Spiritual Power to approach it.
• The reversed energies began twisting the Spiritual Power and destabilizing the Spiritual Soul Core, leaving Huo Yuhao struggling to keep control as blood froze on his skin.
• Li Jing feared Huo Yuhao had gone astray in his cultivation, but the Sea Princess sensed that some order remained and recognized that he was still trying to control the energies.
• The Sea Princess and Li Jing felt awe as Huo Yuhao endured the chaotic forces in the freezing cultivation chamber, determined to survive and move closer to a godly seat.

Huo Yuhao endured the violent clash between his Spiritual Soul Core and the forming Ultimate Ice Soul Core as the Snow Empress and Ice Empress continued the Yin-Yang Complement Method. Ilyas sacrificed more of his Divine Sense to distract the Spiritual Soul Core, and Huo Yuhao remained locked into a perilous process with success or death ahead.

• Huo Yuhao suppressed his Spiritual Soul Core while the Ice Empress and Snow Empress formed his Ultimate Ice Second Soul Core, and Ice Bear King Xiao Bai protected his body.
• As Huo Yuhao’s meridians and organs neared collapse, the Life Spirit Watching Blade released life force to repair him, while the Snow Empress’s skull bone soothed his Spiritual Power.
• The Spiritual Soul Core grew unstable as the two Soul Cores’ energies intensified, making Huo Yuhao’s control increasingly difficult.
• Ilyas used his Divine Sense as bait to draw the Spiritual Soul Core’s attention, easing Huo Yuhao’s pain and helping him regain control at the cost of weakening his Divine Sense.
• The Ultimate Ice Soul Core grew larger and sturdier, and Huo Yuhao continued the Yin-Yang Complement Method with no way to turn back.

Huo Yuhao endured the Spiritual Soul Core’s rampage as the Snow Empress sacrificed her crystal to help him form an Ultimate Ice Soul Core and begin their Ice Spirit Fusion. He regained awareness to find his Spiritual Soul Core cracked but rapidly healing, sustained by a strange power flowing from his body.

• Huo Yuhao maintained his effort as the Spiritual Soul Core’s power intensified and threatened to overwhelm him.
• The Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass absorbed Ultimate Ice energy and transferred it to the Snow Empress.
• The Snow Empress shattered her crystal and used its power to compress Huo Yuhao’s Ultimate Ice energy into a nascent Soul Core.
• The newly formed Ultimate Ice Soul Core froze the Spiritual Soul Core’s counterattack as Xiao Bai, the Ice Empress, and the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass reinforced it.
• The Snow Empress invoked Ice Spirit Fusion, plunging Huo Yuhao into unconsciousness as his Spiritual Soul Core developed cracks.
• Huo Yuhao gradually regained awareness as the cracked Spiritual Soul Core healed, supported by power flowing from his body.

After Huo Yuhao fused with Snow Empress and broke through to Rank Ninety-Nine, he awakened the Ice God’s inheritance. He learned that he must gather divine power to rebuild the Ice God’s shattered godhood, and resolved to keep the inheritance secret while seeking a safe way forward.

• Huo Yuhao discovered that he had formed a white Ultimate Ice Soul Core, while Snow Empress, Ice Empress, Xiao Bai, and Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass had fallen into a deep sleep.
• Ilyas told Huo Yuhao that he had succeeded, and the two harmonious Soul Cores began repairing and strengthening his body.
• Snow Empress’s complete fusion with Huo Yuhao triggered the Ice God’s hidden Soul Imprint, which revealed the Ice God Assessment and the task of stealing divine power to reassemble the shattered Ice God Godhood.
• Huo Yuhao considered potential sources of divine power, including Shrek Academy, Wang Dong’er, Qiu’er, the Clear Sky Sect, and Rong Nianbing, but feared alerting Tang Buddha.
• Huo Yuhao decided to conceal the Ice God inheritance and look for other ways to obtain divine power until he was strong enough to challenge Tang Buddha.

After completing his Second Soul Core, Huo Yuhao emerged with strength on the level of a Limit Douluo and hurried to help the fading Li Ya. With Ilyas controlling his body, he began a soul-repair technique that shifted from pure light to a sinister gray aura.

• Ilyas confirmed that Huo Yuhao's combat strength had reached the level of a Limit Douluo and said he would perform the Soul Fusion Technique for him.
• Huo Yuhao left the Quiet Chamber after seven days and showed the Sea Princess and Li Jing that he had successfully condensed his Second Soul Core.
• Huo Yuhao saw that Li Ya's aura had grown even weaker and warned the Sea Princess not to interrupt his soul-repair technique.
• Ilyas took control of Huo Yuhao's body and used a staff of Spiritual Power to cast pure light over Li Ya, easing her pain.
• Ilyas changed the spell's aura to gloomy gray, and Li Jing recognized it as the power of an Evil Soul Master.

Huo Yuhao used his own soul power and life force to restore the Mermaid Princess’s damaged soul, then tried to calm her with Spiritual Power. A mysterious wisp of soul origin emerged from him and settled on the Mermaid Princess, instantly calming her as the chapter ended.

• The Sea Princess and Li Jing watched as Huo Yuhao gathered the Mermaid Princess’s scattered soul power into an image of her face.
• Huo Yuhao separated part of his own soul and used his soul power and life force to strengthen the Mermaid Princess’s remnant soul.
• The Mermaid Princess awoke in terror and struggled against Huo Yuhao’s Spiritual Power, while the Sea Princess could not reach her.
• A white light emerged from Huo Yuhao and formed an image of the Mermaid Princess before settling on her soul.
• The Mermaid Princess’s terror vanished and her emotions calmed after the wisp of soul origin touched her.

Huo Yuhao and Ilyas restored Li Ya's soul, and Huo Yuhao formed a Soul Spirit Contract with her. Li Ya passed her Golden Bloodline to her sister before Huo Yuhao left the underwater palace to return to the continent.

• The Sea Princess recognized Mermaid's Blessing on Huo Yuhao as Ilyas used his soul and Huo Yuhao's life force to restore Li Ya's soul.
• Ilyas returned control of Huo Yuhao's body and left him to complete the Soul Spirit Contract with Li Ya.
• Huo Yuhao successfully formed the contract, and Li Ya became his first pure spiritual-type Soul Spirit as his Spiritual Power grew stronger.
• Li Ya passed her Golden Bloodline to her sister, Li Jing, making her the next Sea Princess.
• Huo Yuhao bade farewell to the Sea Princess and flew toward the continent to meet Ning Tian and return to the New Sect headquarters.

Huo Yuhao strengthened his abilities, learned the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation, and returned to the Sun Moon Royal Soul Tool Master Academy. He gave Xuan Ziwen blueprints to review during the holiday as he tried to persuade him to join his sect.

• Huo Yuhao examined the abilities granted by Li Ya and the transformed ninth Spirit Skill of his Drunken Sword Immortal Martial Soul.
• Huo Yuhao exchanged for and learned the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation, preparing it as a new trump card.
• Huo Yuhao returned to the Sun Moon Royal Soul Tool Master Academy and found Xuan Ziwen studying in his laboratory.
• Huo Yuhao reminded Xuan Ziwen of their wager and left him design blueprints to review before the holiday ended.

Huo Yuhao prepared to return to his newly founded sect, enticing Xuan Ziwen and Ji Juechen with technology and a display of sword intent. As he waited to leave with Ning Tian and He Caitou, Ji Juechen and Jing Ziyan asked to visit the sect, and Huo Yuhao agreed under strict conditions.

• Huo Yuhao left blueprints in Xuan Ziwen's laboratory, and Xuan Ziwen became captivated by their designs.
• Huo Yuhao challenged Ji Juechen, overwhelmed him with sharp sword intents, and told him to study what he had shown him.
• Huo Yuhao contacted He Caitou and Ning Tian, then secretly used his powerful Spiritual Power to take the academy's remaining Soul Tool technology overnight.
• The next morning, Huo Yuhao waited at the academy gates for Ning Tian and He Caitou to return to his sect with him.
• Ji Juechen and Jing Ziyan approached Huo Yuhao and asked to see his sect, and he agreed after warning them to follow his orders and keep its secrets.
