Chapter Summaries

Long Zhanye and Tang San faced the Dark Gold Three-Headed Bat King on the Narrow Path, where their fight destroyed part of the route. After Long Zhanye blasted off the king’s central head, the creature regenerated it by devouring Blood Bats as they leaped across the gap.

• The Dark Gold Three-Headed Bat King emerged and attacked Long Zhanye and Tang San on the Narrow Path.
• Long Zhanye used his Heavenly Eye to slow the Bat King, then fired his Scorch Ray Cannon while Tang San attacked with Flame Dragon Breath.
• The Bat King’s dark-red energy ripple shattered a five-meter stretch of the Narrow Path, while Long Zhanye’s blast destroyed its central head.
• Long Zhanye and Tang San rushed to leap across the gap before the road’s destruction trapped them.
• The Bat King devoured two Blood Bats and regrew its central head as Long Zhanye and Tang San jumped.

Long Zhanye used his Flight Soul Guidance Device to cross a shattered section of Hell Road, then counterattacked the Dark Gold Three-Headed Bat King. After seeing the beast regenerate and its Blood Bats destroy the path behind him, he prepared to strike all three heads at once with Tang San.

• The Dark Gold Three-Headed Bat King blasted apart Long Zhanye and Tang San’s landing point, but Long Zhanye stored Tang San away and flew across the gap to safety.
• Long Zhanye charged back at the Bat King, which split into hundreds of small golden bats and scattered to avoid his attack.
• The Blood Bats gnawed away at the Narrow Path behind Long Zhanye while the golden bats re-formed into the Dark Gold Three-Headed Bat King.
• Long Zhanye realized the Bat King could regenerate by devouring its own kind and identified its three heads as vital points.
• Long Zhanye called for Tang San to attack with him and poured his Mental Power and Soul Power into his Heavenly Eye and Double Pupil.

Long Zhanye and Tang San killed the Dark Gold Three-Headed Bat King and cleared the remaining Blood Bats, then rested before continuing along the Hell Road. They encountered an unfamiliar, bloated creature with four wings and six legs, and Long Zhanye wondered whether it was unique to Slaughter City's Hell Road.

• Long Zhanye destroyed the Dark Gold Three-Headed Bat King's central and right heads, and Tang San burned away its left head, killing it.
• With their leader dead, the Blood Bats lost coordination, and Long Zhanye and Tang San killed the survivors.
• Long Zhanye and Tang San rested in meditation for over two hours, then ate and resumed their journey.
• Long Zhanye judged that the Hell Road spiraled upward rather than running straight.
• Long Zhanye and Tang San heard something crawling ahead and spotted a strange, pupil-less creature with a round red body, four wings, and six legs.
• Long Zhanye searched his knowledge of Soul Beasts but could not identify the creature and considered whether it came from the Hell Road.

Long Zhanye and Tang San encountered a huge, unknown monster on Hell Road’s Narrow Path, and Long Zhanye discovered that its corrosive mist shared the Chaos Attribute of his Heavenly Eye. The monster attacked again as Long Zhanye confirmed it was the Chaos-type creature he had been searching for.

• Long Zhanye recognized that the six-legged, swollen monster was more dangerous than the Dark Gold Three-Headed Bat King and prepared his Scorch Ray Cannon.
• The monster shrieked and released grayish-white mist that corroded the Narrow Path, forcing Long Zhanye and Tang San to leap over it.
• Long Zhanye broke the crystals forming on his shoes, then realized the mist could destroy their only route across Hell Road.
• Long Zhanye activated his Heavenly Eye and identified the mist as Chaos Qi, matching his own attribute.
• Long Zhanye used the Chaos Attribute Detector and confirmed the monster was the source of the signal he had been seeking.
• The monster released a denser wave of Chaos mist across the Narrow Path.

Long Zhanye and Tang San fought a monster whose Chaos Attribute devoured their attacks and suppressed Tang San’s fire and Destruction powers. As the creature drove Tang San back, Tang San unleashed a powerful Destruction domain that halted its charge.

• Long Zhanye’s Scorch Ray split the gray mist, but the monster dodged by dropping over the Narrow Path and hooking itself back onto the edge.
• Long Zhanye’s Chaos Qi was absorbed by the monster, so he reversed its flow and drew the monster’s mist into his Heavenly Eye, replenishing some Soul Power.
• The monster swallowed Long Zhanye’s rays and Tang San’s Chain Fireballs, then lunged at them with increased strength.
• Long Zhanye took to the air, while Tang San stayed to fight the monster, whose tough body and Chaos Attribute overwhelmed Tang San’s attacks.
• Tang San ignored Long Zhanye’s order to retreat, unleashed blazing flames and black Destruction patterns, and formed a domain that briefly stopped the monster.

Tang San's newly awakened domain wounded the monster, but the monster absorbed Long Zhanye's attacks and began pulling them toward its mouth. Long Zhanye entered Unity of Heaven and Man, awakened his Bronze Level Body Martial Soul, and began spinning into a vortex of fused power.

• Tang San formed twelve azure-green Fire Lotuses with its domain and blasted the monster, then bit into one of its wounds.
• The monster swallowed Long Zhanye's mental attack, healed rapidly, and knocked Tang San back.
• The monster unleashed a powerful suction that dragged Long Zhanye and Tang San toward its mouth.
• Long Zhanye entered Unity of Heaven and Man and awakened his Bronze Level Body Martial Soul.
• Long Zhanye began spinning faster and faster, condensing and fusing his Soul Power, mental power, and Chaos Qi into a growing vortex.

Long Zhanye fought the monster with a devastating Chaos Storm, but the exhausted warrior faced its blooming Chaos Lotus with no apparent way to survive. He threatened to destroy his Sea of Consciousness and Medusa’s Divine Sense unless she helped him, prompting her to laugh and answer his challenge.

• Long Zhanye’s vortex dragged the monster back onto the Narrow Path, shattered its four wings, and hurled it farther down the path.
• The wounded monster gathered Chaos energy into a massive lotus-shaped attack capable of destroying the Narrow Path as Long Zhanye’s strength ran out.
• Tang San tried to stand beside Long Zhanye but repeatedly fell, while the Chaos Lotus reached its limit.
• Long Zhanye confronted Medusa in his Sea of Consciousness and threatened to destroy them both by detonating it if she refused to help.
• Medusa’s phantom laughed at Long Zhanye’s threat, saying no human had dared threaten her in thousands of years.

Long Zhanye accepted Medusa’s inheritance and began the God Trial of the God of Sin, allowing her Divine Sense to take over his body. Medusa used the Soul-Absorbing Tablet to petrify the monster’s attack and its decoy, while the Black Iron Staff trapped the fleeing creature.

• Long Zhanye accepted Medusa’s inheritance after she threatened to perish alongside him if he refused.
• Black mist flooded Long Zhanye’s body, awakening a terrifying power and letting Medusa’s Divine Sense take control.
• Medusa summoned the Soul-Absorbing Tablet and petrified the monster’s Chaos energy before it could strike Long Zhanye.
• Medusa fired the tablet’s beam again, destroying a phantom double the monster created to shield its main body.
• The monster tried to escape, but the Black Iron Staff’s power trapped it in place.

Medusa destroyed the ancient exotic beast Chaos and told Long Zhanye to refine its Inner Core into his sixth Soul Ring. Long Zhanye then discovered that the mysterious Black Iron Staff was impossibly heavy and could not be stored, leaving him to drag it along the Narrow Path.

• Chaos unleashed a final Chaos energy sphere, but Medusa used Blood Sin Abyss to turn the beast to stone and destroy it.
• Medusa identified the surviving grayish-white orb as Chaos’s Inner Core and said Long Zhanye could refine it into his sixth Soul Ring.
• Long Zhanye stored the Inner Core and regained control of his exhausted body as Medusa’s will withdrew.
• Long Zhanye found that the Black Iron Staff was extraordinarily heavy and could not be lifted normally.
• The Black Iron Staff bounced out of Long Zhanye’s Storage Belt, so he dragged it along the Narrow Path despite his exhaustion.

Long Zhanye continued along the Hell Road with Tang San, carrying the mysterious Black Iron Staff after Medusa warned him not to abandon it. As the path grew hotter and the evil aura intensified, both travelers struggled to keep their minds under control.

• Medusa told Long Zhanye that the Black Iron Staff was extraordinary and urged him to keep it, so he continued dragging it along the Narrow Path.
• Tang San caught up, lifted the thousand-pound staff in its mouth, and carried it ahead with ease.
• Long Zhanye and Tang San continued deeper along the Hell Road as the heat and blood-filled Abyss grew more intense.
• The oppressive evil aura stirred their Killing Intent, and Tang San began showing signs of losing control.
• Long Zhanye realized they had to cross the Hell Road quickly before the aura overwhelmed their minds.

Long Zhanye and Tang San reached the end of Hell Road, where a thousand-meter-wide Blood Lake blocked the way to the exit. After crossing it by different routes, Long Zhanye entered the White Light Curtain as the Killing Intent accumulated within him began to merge with him.

• Long Zhanye and Tang San sprinted along the Narrow Path as the heat and Killing Intent grew more intense.
• Long Zhanye found the Narrow Path ended at a vast Blood Lake, with the exit floating on the far shore.
• Long Zhanye used his Flight Soul Guidance Device to cross the lake along the cavern ceiling.
• Tang San bounced along the cavern wall and joined Long Zhanye at the exit.
• Long Zhanye felt his accumulated Killing Intent being drawn from him, then entered the White Light Curtain.

Long Zhanye survived the Divine Slaughter's Domain and emerged from Slaughter City with a new Colorless Domain. After learning its effects, he began refining the ancient Chaos Qi he had absorbed in the Hell Road.

• Long Zhanye endured the white domain's crushing Killing Intent until he lost consciousness and realized it was the Divine Slaughter's Domain.
• Long Zhanye awoke in the desert and discovered white patterns on his Qilin Arm that unfolded into a Colorless Domain.
• Medusa explained that the domain weakened opponents by ten percent and let Long Zhanye exert ten percent more power at its current level.
• Long Zhanye reunited with Tang San and smiled with relief after escaping Slaughter City.
• Long Zhanye meditated to refine the primal Chaos Qi he had absorbed from a Chaos Beast in the Hell Road.

Long Zhanye refined the Chaos Beast’s inner core, gaining a platinum sixth Soul Ring with two soul skills and transforming his appearance and power. Medusa then began his God of Sin inheritance with the first trial, False Speech, and revealed that passing the sixth trial would let him wield the Soul-Absorbing Tablet.

• Long Zhanye absorbed a wisp of chaos energy and raised his Soul Power Level from sixty-one to sixty-three.
• Long Zhanye swallowed the Chaos Inner Core and spent ten days refining it while Tang San guarded him.

• Medusa’s first trial, False Speech, appeared as a black mark on Long Zhanye’s forehead, and she said passing the sixth trial would let him wield the Soul-Absorbing Tablet.

After nearly six months away, Long Zhanye realized he had missed the enrollment deadline for Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineer Academy and rushed back to seek an exception. Lin Jiayi told him the rules barred his enrollment, and an arrogant staff member recognized him as the chapter ended.

• Long Zhanye discovered that Tang San could swallow the Black Iron rod and successfully stored both of them in his Storage Soul Tool.
• Long Zhanye realized his three-month vacation had stretched to nearly six months and that he had missed the academy's registration deadline.

• Long Zhanye brought his recommendation letter to the teaching affairs office, where Lin Jiayi confirmed the letter was valid but said the academy could not accept him under the rules.
• A thin, tall man in a Guidance Office uniform approached Lin Jiayi's desk, recognized Long Zhanye, and drew Long Zhanye's startled attention.

After Lin Qiao rejected Long Zhanye’s late registration at Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineer Academy, Long Zhanye discovered a soul tool sparring event with Shrek Academy that offered a chance to enter Mingde Hall. He headed to the arena, intrigued by the opportunity to face Huo Yuhao.

• Lin Qiao refused Long Zhanye’s recommendation letter because the registration period had passed and told him to leave.
• Lin Jiayi offered Long Zhanye priority consideration the following year, but Long Zhanye took the letter and walked out of the academic affairs office.
• Long Zhanye blamed Lin Qiao for blocking his enrollment and wondered where he could go next.
• Long Zhanye read a notice announcing a three-day soul tool exchange and sparring event against Shrek Academy, with Huo Yuhao as the representative and entry to Mingde Hall among the rewards.
• Long Zhanye decided to go to the Soul Tool Trial Arena to watch the event, considering that he might have a chance to participate.

Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineer Academy’s sparring match with Huo Yuhao drew hundreds of applicants, prompting Hall Master Hongchen to restrict entry to Spirit Kings and above. Huo Yuhao accepted the challenge, and Long Zhanye joined the packed arena as the event was about to begin.

• Lin Jiayi reported that more than three hundred students had signed up to fight Huo Yuhao, and Hall Master Hongchen raised the registration requirement to Spirit King and above.
• Huo Yuhao dismissed He Caitou’s concern about the unfair rules and said he wanted to test the Sun Moon soul engineers’ strength.
• Long Zhanye entered the Soul Tool Trial Arena and observed its huge crowd, testing field, and linked defensive Soul Tool system.
• An amplified voice called for silence across the arena.

At Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineer Academy’s sparring exchange, Huo Yuhao entered the arena with the Shrek students as the crowd doubted his ability. The students unfurled provocative banners around him, enraging the spectators just as the event was about to begin.

• Lin Jiayi announced that Huo Yuhao would represent Shrek Academy in a sparring match judged by Xuan Ziwen.

• The Shrek students unfurled banners proclaiming Shrek and the Tang Sect’s supremacy and challenging anyone who disagreed to fight.
• The Sun Moon crowd erupted in anger, and Lin Jiayi shouted for everyone to calm down.

Huo Yuhao provoked the Sun Moon Academy crowd before facing Class 5 soul engineer Xia Xuanchen in the first match. When the duel began, Huo Yuhao charged across the arena, and Xia Xuanchen deployed twin arm-mounted cannons to meet him.

• Lin Jiayi ordered the teachers to control their students as the stands erupted in anger at the Shrek group.
• Huo Yuhao calmly taunted the Sun Moon Academy crowd while Long Zhanye watched from the passageway.
• Xuan Ziwen started the match between Huo Yuhao and Xia Xuanchen, a Class 5 soul engineer.
• Huo Yuhao rushed forward as Xia Xuanchen turned toward him, quickly closing the distance between them.
• Xia Xuanchen raised his arms and revealed two black Soul Tool cannons mounted over his forearms.

Huo Yuhao used Spirit Detection and a precise series of maneuvers to evade Xia Xuanchen’s Soul Cannons, then overwhelmed him with a Dark Gold Terrorclaw. Long Zhanye recognized the claw as an External Soul Bone and watched with growing interest.

• Huo Yuhao used Spirit Detection to anticipate Xia Xuanchen’s Soul Oscillation Cannon and dodged its blast.
• Xia Xuanchen’s tracking high-explosive shell pursued Huo Yuhao, who evaded it at the last moment and used Ice Emperor Body Protection to ride the blast wave toward his opponent.

• Huo Yuhao held the claw at Xia Xuanchen’s shoulder, leaving him unable to move as the crowd erupted.
