Qian Renxue and Tie Xiong discussed their next moves after her identity was exposed, including taking the Heaven Dou throne and securing the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect’s support. Tie Xiong revealed several divine inheritances and urged Qian Renxue to pursue godhood, then they returned to Heaven Dou; two months later, Tie Xiong’s plaza outside the Great Soul Arena had become a gathering place for Soul Masters seeking to benefit from his cultivation talent.

• Tie Xiong defended his advice about Qian Renxue’s disguise, and Qian Renxue thanked him for helping her succeed in the Heaven Dou Empire.
• Tie Xiong proposed a palace coup and a marriage alliance with Ning Fengzhi, with the Soul Hunting Operation as an alternative if Ning Fengzhi refused to support Qian Renxue.

• Tie Xiong revealed that the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud could lead to the Sea God’s Inheritance and asked Qian Renxue to give it to him after she took the throne.
• Qian Renxue and Tie Xiong left Pope Mountain for the Heaven Dou Empire, and two months later Soul Masters gathered to cultivate near Tie Xiong’s plaza in Heaven Dou City.

Tie Xiong’s fame continued to grow as tensions between Xue Ye and Crown Prince Xue Qinghe escalated over his ungranted title. As Qian Renxue prepared for the palace coup, Tie Xiong focused on cultivation and consumed the Earth Dragon Golden Melon.

• A Soul Master broke through a long-standing bottleneck beneath Tie Xiong’s statue, stirring public excitement and belief in Tie Xiong’s blessings.
• News spread that Xue Ye had rejected Xue Qinghe’s proposal to grant Tie Xiong a kingly title, prompting public anger and revealing a struggle between the emperor and crown prince.
• Tie Xiong told Liu Erlong that Xue Ye’s refusal showed his fear and unease after Snake Lance Douluo appeared, then denied arranging the breakthrough beneath his statue.
• Tie Xiong returned to the Gravity Chamber and chose the Earth Dragon Golden Melon over the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum for his current cultivation needs.
• Tie Xiong opened the Earth Dragon Golden Melon, drank its liquid essence, and began cultivating.

After absorbing the Earth Dragon Golden Melon, Tie Xiong strengthened his Heaven Breaking Hammer, expanded his Earth Domain across Heaven Dou City, and awakened an Earth-Escaping Divine Ability. He tested forming a Soul Core but found his Soul Power still needed to grow, then used his new ability to appear in Qian Renxue’s study and startle her.

• The Earth Dragon Golden Melon’s medicinal power flowed into Tie Xiong’s Spiritual Sea, lower dantian, Heaven Breaking Hammer, and External Soul Bone Legs, improving his hammer’s power and his body.
• Tie Xiong expanded his Earth Domain across Heaven Dou City, synchronized himself with the earth, and discovered he could travel underground faster than flying.
• Tie Xiong’s Soul Power surpassed level fifty-nine, and he found liquid Soul Power forming in his lower dantian as the first stage of a Soul Core.
• Tie Xiong tried compressing the liquid Soul Power with his spiritual power but concluded he needed greater Soul Power quality and quantity before he could form a Soul Core.
• Tie Xiong used his Earth-Escaping Divine Ability to appear in Qian Renxue’s study, startling her so badly that her teacup struck the table.

Qian Renxue and Tie Xiong finalized their plans to take the throne, while Ning Fengzhi and the elders of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect agreed to support Xue Qinghe and prepare Ning Rongrong for marriage and sect leadership. The next morning, Ning Fengzhi and Tie Xiong confronted Xue Ye and demanded that he abdicate.

• Qian Renxue told Tie Xiong that Ning Fengzhi had agreed to make Ning Rongrong the Crown Princess and force Xue Ye to abdicate, while Yu Yuanzhen had agreed not to interfere.
• Tie Xiong praised Qian Renxue’s preparations, and they anticipated that she would ascend the throne the following day.
• Ning Fengzhi, Chen Xin, and Gu Rong told Ning Rongrong about her marriage to Xue Qinghe and planned for her to become deputy sect master.
• Ning Fengzhi sent Gu Rong to the Crown Prince’s Residence to await Qian Renxue’s orders, then went with Chen Xin and Tie Xiong to Xue Ye’s bedchamber.
• Tie Xiong directly demanded that Xue Ye abdicate in favor of Xue Qinghe, and Ning Fengzhi supported the demand.

Qian Renxue completed her takeover of the Heaven Dou Empire and named Tie Xiong the Heaven Breaking King, granting him authority equal to the emperor’s. She then revealed that she had promoted him to help him gather Faith Power, while Tie Xiong prepared to visit Slaughter City.

• Ning Fengzhi persuaded Xue Ye to cooperate with Qian Renxue, and Tie Xiong restrained Ge Long.
• Qian Renxue took control of Heaven Dou’s armies and Soul Master Regiment, imprisoned Xue Ye and Ge Long after crippling their Martial Souls, and had Snake Lance Douluo kill Prince Xue Xing and Xue Beng.
• Xue Ye abdicated, and Xue Qinghe became Great Emperor Qinghe, whose first decree appointed Tie Xiong the Heaven Breaking King with authority equal to the emperor’s over Soul Masters and sects.
• Tie Xiong spoke with Dugu Bo about a treasure he intended to obtain for Sister Yan, then studied information about Slaughter City.
• Qian Renxue visited Tie Xiong and explained that she had ordered golden statues of him built across Heaven Dou to help him gather Faith Power.

Tie Xiong received the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud from Qian Renxue and prepared to leave for Slaughter City after spending another night with her. In the bedchamber, he gave Bai Chenxiang Ten-Thousand Year Whale Rubber to strengthen her body and guided its energy through her meridians.

• Qian Renxue handed Tie Xiong the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud, which he kept as a divine artifact without testing it for the Sea God’s inheritance.
• Tie Xiong and Qian Renxue discussed his planned trip to Slaughter City, and she warned him to be careful around the King of Slaughter.
• Tie Xiong followed Qian Renxue to the bedchamber, where he embraced Bai Chenxiang after extinguishing the lights.
• Tie Xiong gave Bai Chenxiang softened Ten-Thousand Year Whale Rubber, and she ate it.
• Tie Xiong restrained the Whale Rubber’s surging energy in Bai Chenxiang’s body and guided it through her meridians.

Tie Xiong helped Bai Chenxiang open all Eight Extraordinary Meridians and advised her on advancing to Rank 40 and absorbing a Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Ring. He then visited the Soul Master Regiment garrison and recruited the Shui sisters to help Meng Yiran cultivate in the West Sea, hoping she might earn the Sea God Heart’s recognition.

• Tie Xiong patiently used the Whale Dragon energy and Earth Power to open Bai Chenxiang’s Eight Extraordinary Meridians over three days.
• Tie Xiong told Bai Chenxiang to train her spiritual power with Meng Shenji and prepare to absorb a Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Ring when she obtained her fourth Soul Ring.
• Tie Xiong considered Dugu Yan and Meng Yiran as possible candidates for the Sea God Heart’s inheritance, then left the choice to the Sea God Divine Sense.
• Tie Xiong visited the Soul Master Regiment garrison and watched Shui Bing’er and Shui Yue’er cultivate with their Ice and Snow Fluttering Martial Soul fusion skill.
• Tie Xiong asked the Shui sisters to accompany Dragon Duke, Snake Granny, and Meng Yiran to the West Sea and help her become familiar with Ocean Power.

Tie Xiong offered Dugu Yan and Meng Yiran the chance to pursue the Sea God’s inheritance and demonstrated his Earth Power to them. After preparing them for training in the West Sea, he headed toward Blue Tyrant Academy before departing for Slaughter City and encountered Zhu Zhuqing.

• Tie Xiong encouraged Shui Bingren and Shui Yue'er to cultivate to Soul Emperor so they could take part in the Sea God’s trial.
• Tie Xiong told Dugu Yan and Meng Yiran about the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud and proposed that they compete for the Sea God’s inheritance, promising another divine inheritance for whoever did not obtain it.
• Tie Xiong took Dugu Yan and Meng Yiran deep underground so they could experience Earth Power, then explained that they should train in the West Sea with Dragon Duke and Senior Dugu before trying the artifact.
• Tie Xiong briefed Dragon Duke, Snake Granny, and Dugu Bo about the dangers of the West Sea, then decided to cultivate in Slaughter City and seek an opportunity there.
• Tie Xiong passed his statue in Heaven Dou City and went to Blue Tyrant Academy, where he found Zhu Zhuqing waiting outside.

Zhu Zhuqing sought Tie Xiong’s help to grow stronger, but he suddenly suffered extreme pain and collapsed after unleashing his Earth Domain across Heaven Dou City. His allies gathered around him, unsure whether an unseen attack or the strain of his powerful cultivation had caused his condition.

• Zhu Zhuqing told Tie Xiong she would accept a dangerous opportunity to escape her family’s control, and he agreed to take her to meet someone.
• Tie Xiong brought Zhu Zhuqing to his villa, where she reunited with Xiao Wu, who explained that Tie Xiong had saved her and that she had been following him.
• Tie Xiong was overcome by intense pain, unleashed his Earth Domain beneath Heaven Dou City, and lost consciousness.
• Xiao Wu and Liu Erlong tried to examine Tie Xiong but were repelled by the golden light protecting him, so Liu Erlong carried him to his villa.
• Dugu Bo, Ning Fengzhi, Sword Douluo, and Bone Douluo arrived, and Sword Douluo said an unseen attacker seemed unlikely while the others feared Tie Xiong’s cultivation had overwhelmed his body.

Tie Xiong remained unconscious after exhausting his Soul Power and spiritual power, while golden light around him absorbed healing and amplification energy. Qian Renxue mobilized Heaven Dou City to treat him and encourage prayers, leaving his condition unexplained as hundreds of Soul Masters gathered around him.

• Qian Renxue arrived at Blue Tyrant Academy with Dragon Duke, Snake Granny, Snake Lance Douluo, Ye Lingling, and Yu Yuanzhen, then ordered Ye Lingling to test a small amount of healing Soul Power on Tie Xiong.
• Ye Lingling found that Tie Xiong had no internal injuries but had depleted his Soul Power and spiritual power; Ning Fengzhi's amplification energy was also absorbed without restoring him.
• Qian Renxue ordered Snake Lance Douluo to summon every healing and amplification Soul Master in Heaven Dou City and promised a count's title to anyone who could heal Tie Xiong.
• People across Heaven Dou City gathered to pray, while hundreds of healing and amplification Soul Masters treated Tie Xiong at Blue Tyrant Academy.
• Ning Rongrong organized the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's healers, and Huo Wu prayed while resolving to train until she became a Title Douluo.

Tie Xiong discovered that his External Soul Bones had absorbed his accumulated Faith Power and the Earth Power around Heaven Dou City to form a trace of Divine Power, leaving him unconscious while they evolved. As he recovered, he used the Earth Domain to help the evolution continue, and by his fifteenth birthday his spiritual power had returned and his Soul Power was cultivating again.

• While Liu Erlong and the others guarded him, Tie Xiong regained weak consciousness and found his External Soul Bones had become solid gold.
• Tie Xiong realized his External Soul Bones had absorbed his Faith Power and Earth Power to evolve into a divine artifact and produce a trace of Divine Power.
• Tie Xiong found that his External Soul Bones were still absorbing all incoming energy, preventing him from restoring his spiritual power and Soul Power.
• After two more days, Tie Xiong used the Earth Domain and his Heaven Breaking Hammer to help the External Soul Bones absorb energy faster, reassuring Liu Erlong.
• Half a month later, Tie Xiong turned fifteen, recovered his spiritual power, and began cultivating Soul Power again after taking recovery herbs.

Tie Xiong recovered after his External Soul Bone legs evolved into a divine artifact, strengthening his Earth Domain and allowing him to raise his first Soul Ring to a thousand years. After thanking those who had helped him, he set off for Slaughter City, where he found a rumor about treasures drawing crowds to the nearby town.

• Tie Xiong's External Soul Bone legs completed their evolution, expanding his Earth Domain and making Earth Power active around Heaven Dou City.
• Tie Xiong condensed Divine Power to raise his first Soul Ring from eight hundred years to one thousand years, then reunited with Liu Erlong, Dugu Yan, and Meng Yiran.
• Tie Xiong thanked the healing Soul Masters and praying civilians, rewarding them with money, access to a Mimicry Environment, and guidance from powerful Soul Masters.
• Tie Xiong stayed in Heaven Dou City for three more days, exchanged insights with Ning Fengzhi and Yu Yuanzhen, then departed for Slaughter City.
• Tie Xiong and two young women reached a bustling town near Slaughter City, where he learned that a rumor about Soul Bones and Domains had recently attracted many newcomers.

Tie Xiong brought Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing to Slaughter City, where the two girls killed men who threatened them. At the city gate, Terror Knight Bodin recognized Tie Xiong’s Heaven Breaking Hammer and let all three enter without a fight.

• Tie Xiong ordered Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing to kill several men who had leered at them, and the two girls swiftly slaughtered them.
• Tie Xiong explained that he wanted Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing to obtain Divine Slaughter's Domain, while he avoided the Asura God's opportunity and considered having Xiao Wu take Tang San's opportunity later.
• Tie Xiong smashed a tavern counter with the Heaven Breaking Hammer, revealing the passage to Slaughter City, and the three jumped into the vortex.
• At Slaughter City's gate, Terror Knight Bodin recognized Tie Xiong's hammer and, frightened by its resemblance to the one wielded by Tang San, handed out three entry tokens.
• Tie Xiong, Xiao Wu, and Zhu Zhuqing received tokens numbered 8555, 8556, and 8557.

Tie Xiong sent Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing into Slaughter City to earn victories and pursue Divine Slaughter's Domain, then confronted the King of Slaughter. He learned Tang San and Dai Mubai had already escaped after earning the title of God of Slaughter, and ended by revealing that the Blood-Red Nine-Headed Bat King was another reason he had come.

• Tie Xiong told Zhu Zhuqing to earn fifty victories for an Immortal Herb and urged Xiao Wu to obtain Divine Slaughter's Domain through her own strength.
• Bodin told Tie Xiong that Tang San and Dai Mubai had won more than a hundred battles and left Slaughter City after passing Hell Road.
• Tie Xiong ordered Bodin to take him to the King of Slaughter, while Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing entered Slaughter City separately to begin their battles.
• The King of Slaughter explained that Tang Hao had paid a heavy price to arrange the youths' rapid training, and Tie Xiong asked him not to make the two women fight each other.
• Tie Xiong told the King of Slaughter that he had come partly for him, the Blood-Red Nine-Headed Bat King.

Tie Xiong confronted the King of Slaughter and offered to help him take full control of Tang Chen’s body in exchange for Tang Chen’s Clear Sky Hammer origin. Just as they agreed to cooperate, Tang Chen began fighting for control again, and Tie Xiong unleashed his Earth Power to intervene.

• Tie Xiong used his Earth Domain to resist the King of Slaughter’s Killing Domain and demonstrated that he could use Soul Skills within its protection.
• Tie Xiong revealed that he knew the King of Slaughter had parasitized Tang Chen and offered to help remove Tang Chen’s Clear Sky Hammer as an obstacle to control of the body.
• The King of Slaughter agreed to cooperate after Tie Xiong explained Tang Chen’s strength and his plan to draw out the hammer’s origin.
• The King of Slaughter’s wings emerged, but Tang Chen began fighting for control of his body again.
• Tie Xiong activated Golden Tyrant Body and Earth Power, enveloping the King of Slaughter to assist him.

Tie Xiong examined Tang Chen and discovered the Nine-Headed Bat King's corruption, a semi-divinized right-leg Soul Bone, and Tang Chen's formidable Clear Sky Hammer. He began extracting the hammer's origin while the King of Slaughter warned that Tang Chen's consciousness was resisting.

• Tie Xiong examined Tang Chen's body and realized the Nine-Headed Bat King had corrupted it to make it more suitable as a host.
• Tie Xiong discovered Tang Chen's Demigod Body and coveted the divine energy and semi-divinized Soul Bone in his right leg.
• Tie Xiong probed Tang Chen's Soul Power, angering the Blood-Red Nine-Headed Bat King, which ordered him to search for the Clear Sky Hammer origin.
• Tie Xiong focused on Tang Chen's right arm and sensed the Clear Sky Hammer within its independent space.
• Tie Xiong saw the hammer's nine Soul Rings and Asura Domain as he prepared to extract its origin.

Tie Xiong and the Blood-Red Nine-Headed Bat King joined forces to weaken Tang Chen’s Clear Sky Hammer and seize its power. Tie Xiong used Divine Essence Power from the hammer’s Soul Rings to greatly raise his own Soul Ring age limits and began evolving his head Soul Bone, while the struggle for the hammer continued.

• Tie Xiong studied Tang Chen’s Clear Sky Hammer and proposed that he and the Blood-Red Nine-Headed Bat King work together to seize its origins.
• The Blood-Red Nine-Headed Bat King spread evil aura over the hammer while Tie Xiong used his Earth Domain, but Tang Chen’s fierce resistance kept them from taking control.
• Tie Xiong combined Divine Power from his External Soul Bone with his Earth Power and began dismantling the Clear Sky Hammer’s Soul Rings.
• Tie Xiong absorbed Divine Essence Power from Tang Chen’s first seven Soul Rings, raising his first four Soul Rings to thirty thousand years.
• Tie Xiong directed power from Tang Chen’s Eighth Soul Ring into his Spirit Condensing Wisdom Skull and saw that his head Soul Bone could evolve.
• The Blood-Red Nine-Headed Bat King demanded that Tie Xiong stop, and Tie Xiong complied while secretly channeling some remaining Divine Essence Power into his lower dantian.

Tie Xiong absorbed the Clear Sky Hammer’s origin and fought the King of Slaughter, forcing him to accept that Slaughter City would become a prison under Tie Xiong’s control. After they settled their conflict, an unexplained sigh made them suspect that a powerful presence had noticed what happened to Tang Chen.

• Tie Xiong absorbed the Clear Sky Hammer’s origin, and the Blood-Red Nine-Headed Bat King began transforming its empty shell into a bat Martial Soul.
• Tie Xiong struck the King of Slaughter with his Heaven Breaking Hammer, took his right leg’s Soul Bone, and used Earth Power to counter the King’s attacks and domain.
• Tie Xiong warned that continued fighting could destroy Slaughter City, and the King of Slaughter agreed to let Tie Xiong make it a prison for criminals.
• Tie Xiong said he had absorbed most of the Divine Power in Tang Chen’s body and had advanced to rank sixty.
• An unexplained sigh startled Tie Xiong and the King of Slaughter, who discussed whether the Asura God had noticed Tang Chen’s Martial Soul and Divine Power being taken.

The Asura Remnant Thought used Tang Chen’s suffering to awaken Tang Hao’s Asura Domain and begin the Nine Trials of Asura. Tang Hao received Asura Divine Power that started healing his injuries, while Tang San and Dai Mubai saw new hope against Tie Xiong and the rising Heaven Dou Empire.

• In the Star Luo Empire, Tang San killed a Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast with his Blue Silver Grass and celebrated his rapid cultivation progress with Tang Hao and Dai Mubai.
• Tang Hao’s killing intent erupted, and the Asura Remnant Thought connected him to Tang Chen’s anguish, causing his Divine Slaughter’s Domain to evolve into the Asura Domain.
• The Asura Remnant Thought gave Tang Hao an Inheritance Mark, counted the first two trials as complete, and raised his Asura God Affinity to ten percent.
• Asura Divine Power entered Tang Hao, making him spit blood before he told Tang San and Dai Mubai that his injuries were healing.
• Tang Hao learned that he had begun the Nine Trials of Asura and was inheriting the Asura God’s Divine Position.

Tang Hao recovered under a surge of blood-red Divine Power as Tie Xiong absorbed Tang Chen’s powerful Thunderbolt Purple Lightning Bear right leg bone and continued cultivating. Tie Xiong gained two soul skills and deepened his understanding of hammer techniques while his head Soul Bone evolved.

• Tang Hao’s injuries began to heal, his Divine Slaughter’s Domain evolved into the Asura Domain, and he wondered whether his grief was connected to his grandfather, Tang Chen.
• Tie Xiong settled in the Slaughter City’s City Lord’s Mansion and absorbed the Thunderbolt Purple Lightning Bear’s Hundred Thousand Year right leg bone over seven days.

• Tie Xiong continued cultivating by compressing his Soul Power and evolving his Spirit Condensing Wisdom Skull after absorbing Tang Chen’s Clear Sky Hammer origin.
• Tie Xiong used his heightened mental state to deepen his understanding of the Heaven Breaking Nine Techniques and began comprehending the Great Sumeru Hammer.
