Chapter Summaries

As Spirit Hall’s plans failed and the empires braced for conflict, Yan spent three years recovering and cultivating. He reached level ninety and prepared to seek his final Soul Ring.

• Bibi Dong sent Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo to hunt Xiao Wu and the two great soul beasts, but Xiao Wu sacrificed herself for Tang San and the mission failed.
• Qian Renxue’s attempt to seize the Heaven Dou Empire collapsed after Tang San intervened, and she realized Yan’s warnings had been right.
• Xue Ye named Xue Beng crown prince, appointed Tang San as his teacher, and gave him the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud.
• Tang San and the other Shrek Seven Devils set out for Sea God Island, while Spirit Hall gathered forces along the empires’ borders.
• Over three years, Yan recovered, advanced to the third stage of the Planetary Level, and reached level ninety.

Yan considered seeking a godly ninth Soul Ring from the remains of the Ice, Fire Dragon King and left Extreme Ice City for the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. After reviewing his forces and flying past the Poison Array into the valley, he reached the hidden site without confronting its defenses.

• Yan reasoned that the Ice, Fire Dragon King’s remnant souls might grant him a godly Soul Ring if he tempered them with the Origin Law of Fire.
• Yan reviewed the Soul Tool Hall’s progress, Yang Wudi’s strength, and the growth of the Extreme Ice and Blizzard Soul Master Regiments under his command.
• Yan arranged matters in Extreme Ice City and flew south toward the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
• Yan passed Heaven Dou City, where Xue Beng ruled and the continent’s factions had united against Spirit Hall, without entering the capital.
• Yan found the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well in Sunset Forest and flew over its Poison Array into the valley.

Yan arrived at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and killed Tang Hao with a single punch. Ah Yin, the Blue Silver Emperor, sensed Tang Hao’s death and turned her grief and rage toward Yan.

• Yan found Tang Hao beside Ah Yin’s Blue Silver Emperor form at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
• Tang Hao attacked Yan with his Clear Sky Hammer, and Yan struck him through the chest with a flaming fist.
• Tang Hao died embedded in the rock wall, his final gaze fixed on Ah Yin.
• Ah Yin’s Blue Silver Grass trembled as grief, despair, and rage surged from her toward Yan.
• Yan calmly wiped the blood from his fist and looked at the enraged Ah Yin.

Yan destroyed the Blue Silver Emperor Ah Yin, including the Inheritance Seed that could have allowed her to revive. On Sea God Island, Tang San sensed an irreversible loss during his Sea God inheritance but reassured his worried companions that he was only tired.

• Ah Yin unleashed a final assault on Yan with a vast net of Blue Silver Grass, but his flames annihilated the blades before they could reach him.
• Yan engulfed Ah Yin in blazing white flames and burned her body until she could no longer grow new blades.
• Ah Yin's Inheritance Seed emerged and burrowed underground, but Yan sensed it and incinerated it, ending her final chance at survival.
• During the Sea God inheritance on Sea God Island, Tang San suddenly felt a profound loss, and Dai Mubai, Zhu Zhuqing, Ning Rongrong, Ma Hongjun, and Xiao Wu gathered around him.
• Tang San told his companions he was fine and said he only needed to rest.

Tang San felt a disturbing premonition about his parents while his companions tried to comfort him. Meanwhile, Yan entered the depths beneath the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and extracted the Fire Dragon King's remaining power, leaving the dragon's Divine Level Soul Ring behind.

• Ma Hongjun and Ning Rongrong reassured Tang San, but Xiao Wu sensed his unease and held his hand as he tried to calm himself.
• Yan reached a cavern beneath the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, where the long-dead Fire Dragon King and Ice Dragon King lay.
• Yan passed through the fire barrier and placed his hand on the Fire Dragon King's corpse.
• Yan used his law flames to drain the Fire Dragon King's divine energy and extinguish its last trace of vitality.
• A crimson-gold Divine Level Soul Ring emerged from the corpse, retaining a trace of God King-level origin pressure.

Yan absorbed the Fire Dragon King's divine Soul Ring and Left Palm Soul Bone, becoming a level ninety-seven Super Douluo and advancing his Martial Artist cultivation to the sixth stage of the Planetary Level. He opened his eyes with a powerful dragonlike divine aura after his strength settled.

• Yan absorbed the Fire Dragon King's Soul Ring, endured its violent divine flame power, and raised his Soul Power to level ninety-five and his Martial Artist cultivation to the fifth stage of the Planetary Level.
• The absorbed Soul Ring produced a massive fire-attributed Left Palm Soul Bone, which Yan guided into his left hand and refined with white flames.
• The Soul Bone raised Yan's Soul Power from level ninety-five to ninety-seven and his Martial Artist cultivation to the sixth stage of the Planetary Level.
• Yan opened his eyes as his newly strengthened aura spread, carrying dragon might and divine pressure that slightly distorted the surrounding space.

Yan absorbed the remaining fire divine power from the Fire Dragon King's remains, reaching level ninety-nine in Soul Power and Planetary Level, eighth stage as a Martial Artist. Meanwhile, Spirit Hall consolidated its influence through the new Seven Great Sects, which petitioned it to become the supreme authority over the soul master world.

• Yan spent two days consolidating his cultivation, then began absorbing the residual fire divine power within the Fire Dragon King's remains.
• Over six months, Yan reached the peak of level ninety-nine and advanced from Planetary Level, sixth stage, to eighth stage, bringing his combat strength close to that of a First-Class God.
• Yan noted that Dugu Bo had not returned to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and continued cultivating because he still fell short of his goal.
• Spirit Hall held a new Seven Great Sects election that appeared fair but was arranged to favor sects closely tied to Spirit Hall.
• The Seven Great Sects jointly petitioned Spirit Hall to lead all soul masters and govern the soul master world amid the continent's growing chaos.

Spirit Hall founded an empire, seized territory from the Heaven Dou and Star Luo Empires, and prepared for a continent-wide war under Bibi Dong’s leadership. As the three empires approached open conflict, Yan reached First-Class God strength and Tang San prepared to return from Sea God Island.

• Spirit Hall established the Spirit Hall Empire after the Seven Great Sects’ petition and absorbed more than ten duchies and kingdoms, including the Balak Kingdom.
• The Spirit Hall Empire expanded into four provinces belonging to the Heaven Dou and Star Luo Empires, while its soul master forces and Title Douluo enabled it to overcome its weaker armies.
• Bibi Dong halted expansion to consolidate and train her forces as the two great empires secretly allied and prepared to resist her, bringing a continent-wide war close.
• Tang San completed the seventh trial of the Sea God’s Nine Trials, obtained the Sea God Trident, and prepared to return to the continent.
• Yan absorbed divine fire from the Fire Dragon King for two more months, broke through to Stellar Level, and reached First-Class God strength.

After reaching the Stellar Level by absorbing the Fire Dragon King's power, Yan used the Snowy Swan Kiss to amplify the remaining dragon power and his stored herbs. The resulting energy storm pushed him toward a dangerous breakthrough as he tried to refine and compress it.

• Yan realized that the Fire Dragon King's remaining power showed how far Stellar Level still was from God King Level.
• Yan decided to combine the corpse's residual power with his stored immortal herbs and the Snowy Swan Kiss to boost his cultivation.
• Yan crushed the herbs into medicinal essence and used a trace of the Snowy Swan Kiss to amplify it violently.
• Yan absorbed the amplified medicine and the Fire Dragon King's divine power, suffering severe injuries as the energies clashed inside him.
• Yan used the Yan God Body Refining Technique to control and compress the torrent, and his aura climbed through the Stellar Level stages while his body repeatedly neared collapse.

Yan consumed the remaining Snowy Swan Kiss and used the Fire Dragon King’s residual power and other immortal herbs to break through to Universe Level. After reforging the Fire Dragon King’s remains and tending to the damaged Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, he left the valley.

• Yan consumed the remaining Snowy Swan Kiss and broke through from peak Stellar Level 9 to Universe Level.
• Yan consolidated his new power and reforged the Fire Dragon King’s remains to attract fire elements and help preserve the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
• Yan left the cave and found that the well had turned almost entirely blue as the Ice Dragon King’s power overtook the weakened fire force.
• Yan transplanted the withering herbs farther from the well, whose surroundings would favor ice and water medicinal plants until the Fire Dragon King’s remains regained power.
• Yan left the valley after confirming that Tang Hao and the Blue Silver Emperor Ah Yin’s remains had turned to ash.

Tang San returned from Sea God Island to find that Spirit Hall had formed an empire, and he began attacking its Soul Masters while taking Xiao Wu to the Star Dou Great Forest. Back in the Far North, Mo Cheng asked Yan for help after Spirit Hall’s compulsory mobilization order disrupted the North Wind Chamber of Commerce’s businesses.

• After returning to the continent, Tang San learned that Spirit Hall had formed an empire and absorbed the Häagen-Dazs Kingdom.

• Tang San wiped out Soul Master Regiments in six cities, leaving Hu Liena and Xie Yue struggling to investigate the attacks.
• Yan returned to the Extreme Ice City Spirit Hall Sub-Hall, where Mo Cheng explained that Spirit Hall’s conscription of his Soul Masters had stalled the North Wind Chamber of Commerce’s branches and forced him to sell assets at low prices.

Yan arranged for Xie Yue to return the North Wind Chamber of Commerce’s conscripted soul masters to the Far North, prompting Mo Cheng to pledge allegiance to him. Meanwhile, Bibi Dong returned to Spirit City injured after Tang San disrupted her Soul Hunt Operation, killed Ghost Douluo Gui Mei, and helped the two hundred-thousand-year-old soul beasts escape.

• Mo Cheng gave Yan a list of the North Wind Chamber of Commerce soul masters stationed in several cities and asked him to bring them back to the Far North.
• Yan had Sun Nian send the list to Xie Yue, who selected the soul masters and sent them toward the Far North.
• After learning the soul masters were returning safely, Mo Cheng thanked Yan and offered to bring the North Wind Chamber of Commerce under his influence.
• Yan accepted Mo Cheng’s offer and focused on preparing his followers for the coming War of the Three Gods.
• Bibi Dong returned to Spirit City with Chrysanthemum Douluo and five elders after Tang San killed Ghost Douluo Gui Mei and thwarted the hunt for the Sky Azure Bull Python and Titan Giant Ape.
• Bibi Dong shut herself away to recover from her injuries and angrily recalled how Tang San had ruined both of her Soul Hunt Operations.

After escaping the Star Dou Great Forest with Xiao Wu and the power gained from the Sky Azure Bull Python and Titan Giant Ape, Tang San went to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well to find his parents. He found Tang Hao and Ah Yin dead, buried their remains, and swore to avenge them.

• Bibi Dong fled the Star Dou Great Forest after Tang San nearly killed her, while the Sky Azure Bull Python and Titan Giant Ape sacrificed themselves to Tang San and raised him to Title Douluo.
• Tang San absorbed the two beasts’ Soul Rings and Soul Bones, then flew with Xiao Wu to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well to find Tang Hao and Ah Yin.
• Tang San found the valley unnaturally cold and lifeless, and he stored Xiao Wu’s body in the Ruyi Hundred Treasure Pouch before pressing on under the Sea God’s Light.
• Tang San used his Blue Silver Domain to learn that Tang Hao and Ah Yin had struggled at the well, then found Tang Hao’s blood and their burned remains buried nearby.
• Tang San buried the ashes and broken remains, swore to find and punish whoever killed his parents, and Xiao Wu came out of the Ruyi Hundred Treasure Pouch to comfort him.

After reviving Xiao Wu, Tang San joined the war against the Spirit Hall Empire and persuaded the Clear Sky Sect to fight alongside the Heaven Dou Empire. As the battle stalled across both fronts, Bibi Dong considered seeking help from the Worship Hall, while Hu Liena offered to speak.

• Tang San revived Xiao Wu with the Sea God's Light, then hunted Soul Beasts in Sunset Forest to restore his Soul Rings and advance his divine trial.
• After learning that the Heaven Dou and Star Luo Empires had attacked Spirit Hall, Tang San left for the battlefield with Xiao Wu and met Grandmaster, Flender, and Liu Erlong.
• Tang San convinced Tang Xiao and the Clear Sky Sect to join the war by blaming Tang Hao's death on Spirit Hall and claiming the sect was also in danger.
• The Clear Sky Sect, Tang Sect, and Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect helped the Heaven Dou Empire hold its ground, while the Star Luo Empire struggled to withstand Spirit Hall's forces.
• Bibi Dong received reports that the war had reached a deadlock and considered asking Qian Daoliu's Worship Hall for support.
• Hu Liena addressed Bibi Dong after the reports, and Bibi Dong asked whether she had any ideas.

Hu Liena suggested that Bibi Dong summon Yan and his soul master corps from the Far North to help the empire in its stalled war. Bibi Dong agreed while secretly planning to kill Yan after inheriting the Rakshasa Godhood, and Yan received the summons from Resak in Extreme Ice City.

• Hu Liena told Bibi Dong that Yan had assembled several hundred soul masters in the Far North and proposed bringing them to the battlefield.
• Bibi Dong agreed to summon Yan, promising rewards and a possible position in the Elder Hall or Worship Hall while privately planning to dispose of him later.
• Hu Liena sent Resak to deliver the summons, and he reached Extreme Ice City after half a month.
• Yan welcomed Resak at a feast and learned that Hu Liena had brought him to Bibi Dong's attention and that the stalled war prompted the summons.

Yan led his soul master regiment to Spirit City, where Palace Guards barred his troops from entering and mocked him for claiming to represent a Far North Sub-Hall. After they threatened him, Yan killed them with a flaming punch, and Xie Yue took him to meet the Pope.

• Yan gathered eight hundred soul masters and the Breaking Clan's elite warriors, then traveled to Spirit City.
• Spirit Hall officials ordered Yan's troops to camp outside the city while allowing Yan to enter alone.
• Palace Guards mocked Yan's claim to represent a Far North Sub-Hall and demanded that he kneel and apologize.
• Yan attacked the Palace Guards with a flaming punch and killed them despite Xie Yue's attempt to stop him.
• Xie Yue rebuked Yan for offending the Pope, but Yan defended his actions and demanded to see the Pope, so Xie Yue led him onward.

Yan accepted Bibi Dong’s command to lead his soul master regiment against the Clear Sky Sect, while recognizing the deadly malice behind her lenient terms. The war later reached Jiayu Pass, where Tang San’s forces turned the battle against Spirit Hall and severely wounded Bibi Dong.

• Bibi Dong ordered Yan to lead his regiment against the Clear Sky Sect, promising him battlefield freedom and advancement if he earned enough merit.
• Yan left Spirit City after arranging battlefield matters with a Cardinal, then used the campaign to train his regiment without losing a member.
• Tang San’s Tang Sect, Ning Fengzhi’s Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, and Heaven Dou’s soul master regiments gathered at Jiayu Pass to fight Spirit Hall’s forces.
• Bibi Dong arrived at Jiayu Pass with the Elder Hall elders as Spirit Hall’s regiments, including those of the Elephant Armor Sect and Holy Dragon Sect, joined the battle.
• Tang San and his allies used his strength and powerful hidden weapons to devastate Spirit Hall’s regiments, kill the Holy Dragon Legion commander, and severely injure Bibi Dong.
• The Angel Legion’s intervention stabilized Spirit Hall’s position and prevented Heaven Dou from breaking through Jiayu Pass into Spirit Hall’s heartland.

Yan learned that Heaven Dou’s forces had nearly captured Jiayu Pass before Spirit Hall’s Worship Hall members turned the battle around. He refused to reinforce Bibi Dong and decided to lead his force somewhere secluded to watch the war develop.

• After Spirit Hall ordered its armies to contract toward Jiayu Pass, Yan refused Kuteng’s suggestion to reinforce Bibi Dong, saying Spirit Hall still had hidden strength.
• A scout reported that Heaven Dou’s army, aided by the Tang Sect, Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, and Clear Sky Sect, had routed Jiayu Pass’s defenders and nearly killed Bibi Dong and the Saintess before powerful Title Douluo arrived.
• Yan identified the rescuers as Worship Hall worshippers, explaining that they were Super Douluo with Soul Power beyond Rank 95.
• Another scout reported that Heaven Dou’s forces were withdrawing to fortified cities and that Tang Xiao and several Title Douluo were heading for Jiayu Pass.
• Yan decided his force would avoid the battlefield and move somewhere secluded to observe the conflict.

After detonating eight Soul Rings, Tang Xiao overwhelmed Golden Crocodile Douluo and fought to leave him severely injured.

• Tang Xiao arrived with the Clear Sky Sect Title Douluo and sent the exhausted Tang San away while he faced Golden Crocodile Douluo.
• Golden Crocodile Douluo attacked Tang Xiao, and the two began a brutal clash between their peak Power Attack Type Martial Souls.

• Tang Xiao detonated his fifth Soul Ring, then three more ten-thousand-year Soul Rings, pushing his body to its limit.
• Tang Xiao struck with overwhelming force, leaving Golden Crocodile Douluo on the defensive as he aimed to severely injure him.

Golden Crocodile Douluo forced Bibi Dong to return to Spirit City, while Tang San left to pursue the Sea God’s inheritance. As the war settled into a stalemate, a divine aura spread from the Angel Holy Temple, and both sides awaited their chosen heir’s ascent.

• Tang Xiao withdrew after exhausting himself with the Great Sumeru Hammer, and the wounded Golden Crocodile Douluo returned to Jiayu Pass.
• Golden Crocodile Douluo ordered Bibi Dong back to Spirit City; she yielded because she feared Qian Daoliu and left with Hu Liena.
• Golden Crocodile Douluo told the Fourth Elder he spared Bibi Dong because she was Qian Renxue’s mother and Qian Renxue was nearing the Angel God’s inheritance.

• A divine aura spread from the Angel Holy Temple, which Yan sensed as the Angel God’s aura.
• The Heaven Dou Empire and Spirit Hall Empire settled into a battlefield stalemate, each side pinning its hopes on Tang San or Qian Renxue.
