Chapter Summaries

Yan left Extreme Ice Town to find a Soul Ring for his seventh breakthrough and secretly searched the Far North for the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm. He followed its trace into the deep sea, where he found it inside a cocoon after the Evil Orca King and its pod retreated.

• Yan told Zhao Leshan, Zhao Leshui, and Sun Nian that he would leave to seek his seventh Soul Ring and put them in charge of the Sub-Hall.
• Yan departed Extreme Ice Town, then changed course and searched the Far North for the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm.
• After finding no trace inland, Yan followed a faint ice-attributed aura from the Far North's estuary into the sea.
• Yan discovered the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's cocoon surrounded by the Evil Spirit Orca Pod and its hundred-thousand-year leader, the Evil Orca King.
• The Evil Orca King led its pod away, and the cocoon revealed the giant ice silkworm encircled by nine golden rings.

Yan confronted the nine-hundred-thousand-year-old Sky Dream Ice Silkworm in the sea, overpowered it, and frightened it into surrender. The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm remained helpless and shaken as Yan explained that land might be even more dangerous for it.

• Yan burned the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm with Dark Gold Flame until it begged for mercy, then recalled the flame.
• Yan warned the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm that powerful soul beasts on land might imprison it and drain its energy, leaving it trembling with fear.

Yan forced Sky Dream Ice Silkworm to choose between becoming his Wisdom Soul Ring and being killed, and the silkworm willingly sacrificed itself.

• Sky Dream Ice Silkworm’s nine-halo Soul Bone entered Yan’s glabella, expanding his spiritual perception and sharpening his thinking and control.

Yan’s Flame Emperor origin awakened and fused with his Sky Dream Ice Silkworm Soul Ring, Soul Bone, and Martial Soul, transforming them into transcendent fire powers and elevating his life level. The upheaval spread across the Far North, where the Snow Empress awoke and demanded to know who had disturbed her domain.

• The Flame Emperor’s will transformed Yan’s Soul Bone and Soul Ring from spiritual and ice attributes into spiritual and Ultimate Fire, raising the ring to God-Level.

• Crimson-gold clouds and overwhelming heat spread across the Far North, melting glaciers and driving away the region’s ancient cold.
• The Snow Empress awoke in the Far North’s Core Forbidden Zone and demanded to know who had acted so recklessly in her territory.

The Snow Empress attacked Yan, believing he had hunted a powerful soul beast in the Far North.

• Yan severed the Snow Empress’s first nine ice swords with a Flame God Halberd strike.
• The Snow Empress unleashed thousands of Emperor Sword rays, but Yan’s Prairie Fire technique formed flame wyrms that destroyed the icy sword net.

• The Snow Empress attacked Yan from behind with her sword, ice chains, and spikes, but Yan blocked her blade and destroyed the ice projectiles with flames.
• Yan used Returning Tide to strike at the Snow Empress, who raised a crystalline ice shield that cracked but withstood his blow.

• Yan and the Snow Empress traded halberd and sword strikes across the Snow Dance Shining Sun domain, neither gaining the upper hand.
• The Snow Empress realized Yan’s armor and growing power made a prolonged battle dangerous, so she retreated and gathered the domain’s ice and snow into the Emperor Sword.
• The Snow Empress fired her ultimate strike, a deep-blue ray that froze everything in its path.
• Yan silenced his aura, activated his Martial Soul Avatar, and became a hundred-meter Flame Emperor wielding the Law Halberd.
• The Flame Emperor Avatar thrust the Law Halberd toward the Snow Empress’s incoming ray.

Yan defeated Snow Empress with his Flame Emperor Avatar, but she burned her origin to unleash the Eternal Frozen Domain and escape into the Far North. After the battle, Yan recognized that the Flame Emperor Origin had transformed his Martial Soul and raised his power to the continent's peak.

• Snow Empress's ultimate ice attack vanished against Yan's blazing white halberd tip, which continued toward her.
• Facing death, Snow Empress burned her origin and invoked the Eternal Frozen Domain, then merged with the Far North's chill and fled toward its deepest core.
• The Far North's soul beasts sensed their ruler's distress, and the Ice Jade Empress Scorpion rushed to Snow Empress's dwelling to help her.
• Yan withdrew the Flame Emperor Avatar and chose not to pursue Snow Empress.
• Yan assessed how absorbing Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's Soul Ring and Soul Bone had fused the Flame Emperor Origin into him, evolved his Martial Soul to the Flame Emperor form, and greatly strengthened his Law of Fire.

After assessing his new strength, Yan returned to the Martial Soul Sub-Hall and learned that its customary summer Martial Soul awakenings for village children were approaching. He began considering whether the Sub-Hall should change its usual fee, which had been ten silver soul coins per child.

• Yan judged that he could surpass Qian Daoliu and most soul beasts, while Bo Saixi remained a threat because she could draw on the Sea God's power.
• Yan dismissed his Martial Soul Possession and returned to the Martial Soul Sub-Hall after completing his journey in less than a month.
• Sun Nian welcomed Yan and brought him food while reporting that the Sub-Hall's affairs had gone smoothly during his absence.
• Sun Nian asked Yan how the Sub-Hall should handle its annual Martial Soul awakenings for village children.
• Yan asked whether the Sub-Hall had charged for awakenings before, and Sun Nian explained that it had charged ten silver soul coins each time.

Yan made Martial Soul awakenings and cultivation free for promising children, confident that the resources of a Ten Thousand Year Cold Jade vein could support the Far North Sub-Hall. After learning the route to the vein from Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, he prepared to travel there by sea.

• Yan ordered the Sub-Hall to provide free Martial Soul awakenings and nurture promising children at no charge.
• Yan questioned Sky Dream Ice Silkworm about the cavern where it had consumed the Ten Thousand Year Cold Marrow.
• Sky Dream Ice Silkworm explained that the cavern lay deep in the Far North and could only be reached by returning to the sea route where it had entered.
• Yan learned that the cavern was largely hollowed out of a vast Ten Thousand Year Cold Jade vein and considered how its resources could strengthen his faction.
• Yan gave instructions to the Zhao brothers and Sun Nian, then set off toward the sea entrance at the Far North's outskirts.

Yan followed Sky Dream Ice Silkworm’s guidance to a vast Ten Thousand Year Cold Jade cave beneath the sea, collected its remaining Ten Thousand Year Jade Marrow, and filled his storage device with Cold Jade. He emerged near the Ice Empress’s territory and remembered that Sky Dream Ice Silkworm had once fallen in love with the Ice Empress.

• Yan left Extreme Ice Town and dove into the frozen sea, following Sky Dream Ice Silkworm’s directions to a hidden underwater crevice.
• Yan entered a vast, waterless cavern lined with Ten Thousand Year Cold Jade and investigated its connected caves.
• Yan found scattered remnants of Ten Thousand Year Jade Marrow, fashioned a jade box, and stored about fifty or sixty pounds of it.
• Yan filled the remaining space in his Ten Directions Soul Guidance Device with Ten Thousand Year Cold Jade and left through a land exit.
• Yan recognized that he had emerged near the Ice Empress’s territory and recalled Sky Dream Ice Silkworm’s love for the Ice Empress.

After returning from the Far North, Yan offered Mo Cheng a steady supply of Ten Thousand Year Cold Jade from a mineral vein. Mo Cheng accepted Yan’s price, securing a profitable trade for the North Wind Chamber of Commerce.

• Yan returned to the Spirit Hall Sub-Hall in Extreme Ice Town and ordered Sun Nian to summon Mo Cheng for a major deal.
• Mo Cheng traveled to Extreme Ice Town and recognized the palm-sized jade Yan displayed as Ten Thousand Year Cold Jade.
• Yan claimed he had found a Cold Jade mineral vein that produced up to twenty jin of Ten Thousand Year Cold Jade each month.
• Yan offered the jade to Mo Cheng at eight thousand Gold Soul Coins per jin.
• Mo Cheng accepted Yan’s price without bargaining.

Yan agreed to let the North Wind Chamber of Commerce monopolize monthly purchases of Ten Thousand Year Cold Jade, giving him funds to expand his plans in Extreme Ice Town. Meanwhile, Bibi Dong approved Hu Liena’s journey to Slaughter City, Tang Hao sent Tang San there to temper himself, and Ning Rongrong gazed at the moon as Oscar waited behind her.

• Yan agreed to sell Mo Cheng twenty catties of Ten Thousand Year Cold Jade each month and refuse other merchant associations, and Mo Cheng paid 160,000 Gold Soul Coins before leaving with the jade.
• Yan planned to use the money to train newly awakened soul masters and bring previously recorded soul masters to Extreme Ice Town.
• Ghost Douluo reported that Nana wanted to enter Slaughter City, and Bibi Dong ordered Salas to arrange a secret escort and provide intelligence about the city.
• Tang San awakened his Blue Silver Emperor Martial Soul for a second time, and Tang Hao told him to go to Slaughter City to temper his Clear Sky Hammer and seek a Divine Slaughter's Domain.
• Ning Rongrong gazed at the moon from her window while Oscar stood behind her holding her dinner.

Ning Rongrong confessed that she loved Oscar but could not defy the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect’s marriage rule, so Oscar left to seek combat strength and promised to return in ten years. Meanwhile, Yan’s growing influence transformed Extreme Ice Town into Extreme Ice City, where he established a Soul Master Academy and recruited more than a hundred students.

• Oscar brought Ning Rongrong dinner and asked why she had been keeping her distance from him.
• Ning Rongrong told Oscar that she loved him but believed the sect’s rule required her to marry a powerful battle Soul Master.
• Oscar promised to spend ten years gaining formidable combat strength, then left after saying he would not return if he failed.
• Ning Fengzhi, Sword Douluo Chen Xin, and Bone Douluo Gu Rong appeared and comforted Ning Rongrong, with Ning Fengzhi believing Oscar would succeed.
• Yan used his wealth and influence to expand Extreme Ice Town into Extreme Ice City and rebuild its Martial Soul Sub-Hall.
• Yan established Extreme Ice Soul Master Academy, which recruited more than a hundred Soul Masters from the Far North.

Yan expanded the Extreme Ice City Spirit Hall Sub-Hall by recruiting Snow Bandits who had not committed grave crimes and forming them into a force under his personal command. Two years passed, and Yan reached age twenty with his cultivation at level seventy-nine.

• Yan ordered Sun Nian to gather intelligence on Snow Bandits and followed a report to two villages recently raided by a band.
• Yan tracked down a small band of Snow Bandits, confirmed they were not Fallen Soul Masters, and persuaded them to join the Extreme Ice City Spirit Hall Sub-Hall.
• Yan assigned the first recruits to the Zhao Brothers and continued subduing Snow Bandit groups, executing Fallen Soul Masters and other notorious offenders.
• Yan personally trained the recruited Snow Bandits, forming hundreds of them into a disciplined force loyal to him.
• Two years passed, and Yan turned twenty and reached level seventy-nine.

After two years of cultivation and consolidating his authority over the Snow Bandits, Yan learned that Tang San and Hu Liena had emerged from Slaughter City. Sun Nian then reported that Oscar had been found in the Frozen Forest, working as a support-type Soul Master in a Soul Beast Hunting Squad.

• Yan reflected on his growth, including his Flame Domain surpassing its ninth level and his progress toward level eighty.
• Yan noted that Tang San and Hu Liena had become Slaughter Gods after leaving Slaughter City.
• Sun Nian told Yan that Oscar had been located in the Frozen Forest on the edge of the Far North.
• Sun Nian explained that Oscar had joined Haote's Soul Beast Hunting Squad after saving Haote, despite the other members objecting to a support-type Soul Master joining them.

Yan left the Martial Soul Sub-Hall in others’ hands and searched the Frozen Forest for Haote’s Squad, intending to kill Oscar before his talent could threaten Yan’s plans. He found the squad after Oscar had become a Soul King, but Oscar was disappointed that his new soul skill had only strengthened his support abilities.

• Yan ordered the Zhao brothers to manage the Sub-Hall’s daily affairs and told Kuteng to control the soul master regiment while he was away.
• Yan left for the Frozen Forest to search for Haote’s Squad, planning to kill Oscar rather than recruit him.
• Yan spent two days tracking the squad through the forest before finding their camp.
• Oscar had absorbed his Fifth Soul Ring and advanced to Soul King, but the skill he gained did not improve his combat strength.
• Haote comforted the disappointed Oscar by patting his shoulder.

After the Soul Hunting Squad failed to complete its mission, Haote comforted Oscar and offered to buy the team drinks before they returned to the city. As they prepared to leave, a terrifying presence approached through the forest, leaving Haote and the others braced for an enemy whose identity remained unknown.

• Haote reassured Oscar that he still had time to become a Soul Emperor and promised to help him hunt soul beasts.
• Haote cheered up the Soul Hunting Squad by offering to treat everyone at a tavern, and Oscar tried to pay instead.
• Haote insisted on paying because Oscar had once saved his life with a Flying Mushroom Sausage.
• A set of footsteps approached through the snowy forest, unleashing a crushing aura that made the campfire flicker and the squad fear for their lives.
• Haote and the other squad members activated their Martial Souls and Soul Rings, but their combined power could not push back the approaching aura.
• Oscar prepared his sausages as Haote readied himself to strike at the figure emerging from the darkness.

Haote unleashed his Martial Soul Avatar and charged the figure in the shadows, but a single flame blade aura destroyed him and his bear form. Oscar and the surviving Soul Hunting Squad members fled in terror.

• Haote transformed into his Snow Soul Demon Bear Martial Soul Avatar and charged at the figure in the shadows.
• The figure casually slashed with a Red-Gold Flame Blade Aura, which turned Haote and his avatar to ash.
• The Soul Hunting Squad froze in terror after witnessing Haote's death.
• Oscar ate his Flying Mushroom Sausage and Limit-Breaking Dark Green Sausage, then decided to flee so he could live and see Rongrong again.
• Oscar and the other surviving soul masters scattered in different directions as the figure in the shadows watched them.

Yan used Mental Ripple to incapacitate the Soul Hunting Squad and knock Oscar from the air. After Oscar recognized him as a former Spirit Hall Golden Generation fighter, Yan addressed him, and the squad realized Oscar had led Yan to them.

• Yan unleashed Mental Ripple, disrupting the Soul Hunting Squad’s minds, Soul Power, Soul Rings, and Martial Soul Possessions.
• Oscar’s flight skill collapsed under the attack, and he crashed into the snow with severe pain and injuries.
• Yan emerged from the forest, and the surviving squad members stared at him in fear and confusion.
• Oscar recognized Yan from the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament and recalled hearing he had been sent to the Far North.
• Yan calmly addressed Oscar, prompting the Soul Hunting Squad to turn on Oscar for bringing Yan to them.
