Chapter Summaries

Ao Zhan and his companions reached the Sun Moon Continent and traveled to Radiant City, where they intended to visit the Sun Moon Emperor and investigate the continent’s Soul Tool technology and lack of Divine Residences.

Ao Zhan recognized the azure bead as a creation of his own Alien Energy and realized that his future self may have traveled back in time to save the ancestors of the Sun Moon Empire.

Ao Zhan learned that the Destruction God King and the Seven Elemental Gods had destroyed the ancient Soul Tool civilization, and that his cyan bead had protected Xu Tianyu’s ancestors. Xu Tianyu agreed to submit the Sun Moon Empire, while Ao Zhan revealed that he had traveled into the past to give the bead to Xu Tianyu’s ancestors.

Ao Zhan and Gu Yuena explained why they had missed the Soul Tool civilization’s destruction before the group reached the Evil Forest. There, the Evil Emperor confronted the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King and used his spiritual power to trap the group, though Ao Zhan and Gu Yuena remained unaffected.

Ao Zhan, Gu Yuena, and their allies confronted the Evil Emperor in the heart of the Evil Forest, where the Evil Emperor's mental attack failed to affect Ao Zhan and Gu Yuena. The Evil Emperor was overwhelmed and brought down by their combined assault, though he remained furious and defiant.

• Ao Zhan summoned the Azure Dragon to dispel the Evil Emperor's mental attack and restore the others, then told Qian Renxue that the attack had tested her mental strength.
• The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King, the Demon Empress, Golden Crocodile, and Guang Ling attacked the Evil Emperor together, and he used Light of Destruction to block them at great cost.

• The Evil Emperor escaped the imprisonment but was struck by azure lightning and another combined attack, causing him to fall with a weakened aura and furious resolve.

Gu Yuena and Ao Zhan persuaded Evil Emperor to submit in exchange for escaping the Soul Beast Heavenly Tribulation, then tasked him with spreading Alien Energy among the Soul Beasts of Sun Moon Continent. Meanwhile, Xu Tianyu enforced Ao Zhan’s demands on the Sun Moon Empire’s ministers by killing those who opposed him.

• Xu Tianyu killed the ministers who opposed him, leaving no one capable of stopping his will except Long Daozong.

Ao Zhan and his companions traveled with the Evil Emperor to the Black Dragon Mountain Range to confront Long Daozong, the strongest human on the Sun Moon Continent. Long Daozong intercepted them and revealed a shocking array of soul rings, leaving the visitors stunned as the confrontation began.

• The Evil Emperor led Ao Zhan, Golden Crocodile, Guang Ling, and their group to the Long Clan’s ancestral home in the Black Dragon Mountain Range.
• The Evil Emperor explained that Long Daozong’s son, Long Junxin, also possessed the Dark Holy Dragon martial soul but had stayed out of public view until reaching Level 98.
• The Evil Emperor guided the group through the Long Clan’s defenses, but Long Daozong detected and intercepted them before they reached the settlement.
• Long Daozong recognized the Evil Emperor, demanded to know why he had brought people into the mountain range, and summoned his Dark Holy Dragon martial soul.
• Guang Ling and the others were shocked to see Long Daozong’s nine soul rings, including three hundred-thousand-year rings.

Ao Zhan challenged Long Daozong to submit to Spirit Hall, and the two began a battle in the sky above the Black Dragon Mountain Range. As the others watched, the Evil Emperor explained that the Long Clan’s extraordinary strength came from generations of accumulated resources and a complete set of Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bones; the duel’s outcome remained unknown.

• Ao Zhan told Long Daozong that the Sun Moon Emperor and the Evil Emperor had submitted, then challenged him to a fight to decide whether the Long Clan would submit as well.

• Golden Crocodile remarked on Long Daozong’s remarkable Soul Ring Configuration, and the Evil Emperor explained that the Long Clan had passed down a complete set of Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bones across generations.
• The Evil Emperor revealed that the Long Clan raised promising Soul Beasts in the Black Dragon Mountain Range, while Qian Renxue and Guang Ling learned how that practice helped produce Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts.

Ao Zhan fought Long Daozong, whose Dark Holy Dragon and powerful soul skills could not easily affect Ao Zhan because he used Alien Energy instead of Soul Power. Long Daozong unleashed Dark Vortex, and Ao Zhan began gathering spatial power for Dragon Emperor's Alternate Dimension.

• Long Daozong attacked Ao Zhan with his Dark Holy Dragon, but Ao Zhan met the blows with his armored body and overwhelmed him with physical strength.
• Long Daozong lost focus and was kicked in the chest, coughing up blood as Ao Zhan warned him against carelessness.
• Long Daozong trapped Ao Zhan in his eighth soul skill, Eternal Dark Realm, but its Soul Power restrictions and dark corrosion had little effect on him.
• Long Daozong activated the second ability of his hundred-thousand-year soul ring, Dark Vortex, to absorb and redirect energy attacks.
• Ao Zhan gathered spatial power in his palms and announced Dragon Emperor's Alternate Dimension.

Ao Zhan defeated Long Daozong, won the Long Clan’s submission, and brought the Sun Moon Empire under Spirit Hall’s control. Back on Douluo Continent, Qin Ming’s decision to side with Shrek Academy sparked a near-conflict between the World-Destroying Thunder Dragon Sect and the Clear Sky Sect.

• Ao Zhan’s Dragon Emperor’s Alternate Dimension overwhelmed Long Daozong, who survived by using his hundred-thousand-year torso bone skill and then chose to submit.
• Ao Zhan healed Long Daozong, met his son Long Junxin, revealed his Azure Dragon Martial Soul, and gave the Long Clan father and son Immortal Herbs and Alien Energy.
• The Sun Moon Empire submitted to Spirit Hall, and Ao Zhan’s group concluded its journey to the Sun Moon Continent, where Spirit Hall planned to establish branch halls and Commoner Academies.
• Yu Tianheng and the Imperial Heaven Team told Yu Yuanzhen and the Heaven Dou Royal Academy board members that Qin Ming had chosen to stand with Shrek Academy during the Star Dou Forest incident.
• Yu Yuanzhen and the board members prepared to punish Qin Ming, but Shrek Academy backed him, bringing the World-Destroying Thunder Dragon Sect and the Clear Sky Sect close to a confrontation.

After Shrek Academy and the Clear Sky Sect intervened to protect Qin Ming, Tang Chen challenged Spirit Hall to recover his lost honor and was defeated by Di Tian. Tang Chen then spread word of an alliance between Spirit Hall and the Star Dou Forest, but the commoners remained unmoved and the great powers feared confronting Spirit Hall.

• Shrek Academy, the Clear Sky Sect, and Bo Saixi backed Qin Ming, prompting Heaven Dou Royal Academy to expel and blacklist him; he returned to Shrek as a teacher, and the incident strained relations between the Clear Sky Sect and the World-Destroying Thunder Dragon Sect.
• Tang San asked Tang Chen and Bo Saixi to help him retaliate against Yu Tiankuo, but they refused, following orders to avoid conflict with the World-Destroying Thunder Dragon Sect.
• After scouts reported that Ao Zhan was away from Spirit City, Tang Chen challenged Qian Daoliu to a fight to the death, and Di Tian accepted on Qian Daoliu’s behalf.
• Di Tian defeated Tang Chen and Qian Daoliu told him that Tang Hao and Tang Xiao had both died; when Tang Chen tried to attack him, Di Tian and Qian Daoliu beat him together.
• Tang Chen publicized the alliance between Spirit Hall and the Star Dou Forest, but commoners remained indifferent and the other factions were too intimidated by Spirit City to act.

After returning from the Sun Moon Continent, Ao Zhan’s presence kept Spirit Hall’s impoverished enemies from daring to retaliate, while Tang San urged Tang Chen to seize Immortal Herbs in the Sunset Forest. The chapter ended with Tang Chen considering Tang San’s claim and proposed expedition.

• Tang San and his allies failed to turn the continent against Spirit Hall and returned in humiliation.
• Ao Zhan’s group returned to Spirit City with Xu Tianyu, Long Daozong, his son, and the Evil Emperor; Spirit Hall arranged their stays and sent elders to establish branches in the Sun Moon Continent.
• Spirit Hall’s defeated rivals struggled with depleted finances, and its elders punished nobles and merchants who tried to exploit commoners.
• After Ao Zhan returned, the hostile powers abandoned plans to provoke Spirit Hall and focused on helping Yu Tiankuo, Tang San, and Ma Hongjun become gods.
• After completing his second Sea God Trial and becoming a Soul Ancestor, Tang San told Tang Chen that Immortal Herbs lay in the Sunset Forest and urged him to seize them.

Tang San brought Tang Chen and Bo Saixi to Sunset Forest to claim the immortal herbs at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, convinced that no powerful Mystic Beasts had discovered it. He found only a vast pit where the well had been and blamed Spirit Hall for taking it.

• Tang Chen agreed to accompany Tang San and Bo Saixi to Sunset Forest in search of immortal herbs.
• The narration recounted how Zi Ji and Bear Lord defeated Yu Yuanzhen and drove Mystic Beasts’ attackers away from Sunset Forest.
• Tang San led Tang Chen and Bo Saixi through the forest without disturbing any Mystic Beasts, certain that the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well remained undiscovered.
• Tang San reached the valley and found a deep, bare pit where the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and its immortal herbs had been.
• Tang San told Tang Chen that the well had been moved and angrily accused Spirit Hall of taking it.

Tang San realized Gu Yuena had moved the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and its Immortal Herbs, likely to Star Dou Forest. He persuaded Tang Chen and Bo Saixi to seek the well there, leaving them to search the forest’s core region.

• Tang San concluded that Gu Yuena had moved the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, and told Tang Chen and Bo Saixi that Spirit Hall had likely obtained its Immortal Herbs.
• Tang Chen and Bo Saixi questioned whether they should give up on the Immortal Herbs, but Tang San insisted they could not abandon them.
• Tang San proposed secretly infiltrating Spirit Hall’s site to steal the herbs rather than confronting Spirit Hall directly.
• Tang San reasoned that Spirit Hall had most likely placed the well in Star Dou Forest, where it could be guarded and kept secret.
• Tang Chen warned that Star Dou Forest was dangerous, but Tang San urged them to search its core region for the well.

Tang San proposed recruiting Rakshasa God High Priestess Danielle to help Tang Chen and Bo Saixi search the Star Dou Forest for the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings' remains. Meanwhile, Yu Yuanzhen prayed for the Destruction God King to strengthen his sect, and the God King and Goddess of Life discussed supporting him through an alliance.

• Tang San guessed that Gu Yuena had hidden the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings' remains near the Lake of Life and proposed that Danielle draw the Fierce Beasts' attention while he, Tang Chen, and Bo Saixi searched.
• Tang Chen and Bo Saixi agreed and returned to the Clear Sky Sect to seek Ma Hongjun's help contacting Danielle.
• Yu Yuanzhen prayed to the Destruction God King for more Limit Douluo to support the World-Destroying Thunder Dragon Sect.
• The Destruction God King told the Goddess of Life that Yu Yuanzhen was struggling against the other High Priests and their allies.
• The Goddess of Life proposed choosing a force in the Douluo Continent, granting it a God Trial, and having it ally with the World-Destroying Thunder Dragon Sect.

The Destruction God King sought allies to support his lone High Priestess on the Douluo Continent, since the Goddess of Life had no suitable successor to appoint. He went to the Evil God King and asked him to have the Seven Elemental Gods pass down their Divine Positions and back the World-Destroying Thunder Dragon Sect.

• The Destruction God King rejected the Goddess of Life’s suggestion to choose a pawn from the Ye Family because its members possessed Alien Energy and could not reach sufficient Divine Power affinity.
• The Destruction God King dismissed creating Sacred Pillar guardians and proposed asking the Seven Elemental Gods to help instead of the Seven Original Sin Gods.
• The Destruction God King decided to involve the Evil God King, who owed him a favor from the exchange of their former subordinates.

• The Destruction God King demanded that the Evil God King send the Seven Elemental Gods to appoint High Priestesses on the Douluo Continent and support the World-Destroying Thunder Dragon Sect.

Destruction God King recalled why Evil God King had exchanged the Seven Original Sin Gods for the Seven Elemental Gods: absorbing too many evil thoughts had nearly driven them mad. Evil God King explained that the thoughts would keep gathering around him unless he died, but Kindness God King proposed sending them to a place of inheritance on Douluo Plane.

• Destruction God King explained that Evil God King had once nearly gone mad from absorbing evil thoughts, and that the Seven Original Sin Gods had also needed saving.
• Destruction God King and Evil God King had exchanged their subordinates to prevent the evil thoughts from overwhelming them again.
• Evil God King agreed to let the Seven Elemental Gods and Seven Original Sin Gods establish pawns and pass on their Divine Positions on Douluo Continent.
• Evil God King told Destruction God King that he could not leave Evil God Temple because its damaged formations could no longer contain and transform the evil thoughts.
• Evil God King explained to Kindness God King that the evil thoughts would keep gathering around him unless he died and erased his presence from the God Realm Hub.
• Kindness God King proposed creating a place of inheritance on Douluo Plane, like Slaughter City, and transferring the evil thoughts there.

The God Kings arranged to shift the Evil God King's evil thoughts and began plans to place new God Trials in the lower realm. Meanwhile, Ao Zhan prepared to exploit Tang San's mistaken belief that the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was in the Star Dou Forest, where Tang San's group launched their search.

• The Evil God King agreed to the Kindness God King's plan and decided to inform Destruction and Asura.
• The Destruction God King summoned the Seven Elemental Gods and arranged for the Fire God and Wind God to grant God Trials in the lower realm.
• After Ah Yin reported Tang San's plans, Ao Zhan took Gu Ningqiu and Shui Bing'er to the Star Dou Forest and waited for Tang San's group.
• Tang Chen, Bo Saixi, and Tang San entered the Star Dou Forest while Danielle stayed outside to draw the Mystic Beasts away from the core region.
• Danielle released her Limit Douluo aura, powerful Mystic Beasts surged out of the core region, and Tang Chen, Bo Saixi, and Tang San took the chance to head deeper into the forest.

Tang Chen, Bo Saixi, and Tang San confronted Ao Zhan in the Star Dou Forest, where Tang San revealed Gu Ningqiu was the Auspicious Beast. Tang Chen and Tang San grew intent on capturing her, while Ao Zhan prepared to face their threat.

• Ao Zhan called Tang Chen, Bo Saixi, and Tang San out of hiding while Gu Ningqiu and Shui Bing'er got up beside him.
• Tang San recognized Gu Ningqiu as the Three-Eyed Golden Lion and eyed her greedily, hoping to exploit her blood and other treasures.
• Tang Chen accused Ao Zhan and Spirit Hall of betraying humanity, and Ao Zhan challenged him to provide evidence that Spirit Hall had forced his grandsons to kill each other.
• Tang San claimed Gu Ningqiu’s presence beside Ao Zhan proved Spirit Hall had allied with the Soul Beast Clan, and Tang Chen realized she might be the Auspicious Beast.
• Tang Chen and Tang San began plotting to capture Gu Ningqiu, and Tang Chen demanded that Ao Zhan hand her over.
