• Zhu Zhuqing told Zhu Zhuyun she had no regrets about Dai Mubai or the Shrek members, and the sisters acknowledged how their old rivalry had been futile.

• The transformation summoned four overlapping heavenly tribulations, but the Golden Evil Demon King swallowed the first lightning bolt and flew into the tribulation clouds.

The Golden Evil Demon King became a five-hundred-thousand-year beast, called himself the Devil Emperor, and claimed dominion over the Star Dou Forest. Di Tian and the other powerful soul beasts debated how to respond and sought Gu Yuena’s instructions, leaving the decision to her.

• The Golden Evil Demon King transformed into a five-hundred-thousand-year dragon and killed the Dark-Gold Dreadclaw Bear with a single attack.
• The Devil Emperor declared that all beings in the Star Dou Forest must submit to him or die.
• Di Tian, Zi Ji, Xiong Jun, and Myriad Demon King sensed the Devil Emperor’s power from the pocket dimension and questioned how he had appeared.
• Di Tian identified the Devil Emperor as an evolved Sub-Dragon whose power carried an unusual divine aura, and warned against acting rashly while Gu Yuena was healing.
• Di Tian and the others knelt before Gu Yuena, and Di Tian asked whether he should suppress or eliminate the Devil Emperor.

Gu Yuena identified the divine power behind Devil Emperor’s transformation as a reward from Han Yu’s God of Evil trial and ordered Di Tian, Zi Ji, and Xiong Jun to investigate him rather than kill him immediately. As Devil Emperor boasted above the Star Dou Forest, a crushing pressure suddenly descended on him.

• Gu Yuena awakened and recognized the faint divine power in Devil Emperor as belonging to the God of Evil.
• Gu Yuena connected Devil Emperor’s evolution to Han Yu’s God Trial and called the transformed dragon a possible reserve Soul Ring.

• Di Tian took Zi Ji and Xiong Jun toward the Star Dou Forest’s Core Zone.
• Devil Emperor boasted that he was the continent’s perfect dragon and future god of Soul Beasts, then a powerful dragon pressure crushed down on him.

Di Tian, Zi Ji, and Xiong Jun confronted Devil Emperor after he boasted that divine power had made him the Star Dou Forest’s equal. Di Tian crushed him with a single Dragon God Claw, while Zi Ji warned that the lingering Evil Divine Power and Han Yu’s possible inheritance of it posed a greater threat.

• Di Tian, Zi Ji, and Xiong Jun emerged before Devil Emperor, whose bloodline buckled under Di Tian’s pressure.
• Devil Emperor declared that his five hundred thousand years of cultivation and Evil Divine Power made him Di Tian’s equal and perhaps his superior.
• Di Tian dismissed Devil Emperor’s power as an insult to the Dragon Clan bloodline, and Devil Emperor attacked with Evil Demon Destruction Beam.
• Di Tian used Dragon God Claw to erase the attack and smash Devil Emperor into a crater, leaving him gravely wounded and terrified.
• Di Tian explained that Devil Emperor’s borrowed divine power could not overcome his superior bloodline and foundation.
• Zi Ji warned that the persistent Evil Divine Power could make Han Yu dangerous if he had inherited it, while Xiong Jun offered to kill Devil Emperor and take his Soul Bone.

Di Tian spared the Devil Emperor but sealed half his cultivation, while Han Yu learned that the five-hundred-thousand-year Evil Dragon had appeared in the Star Dou Forest. Han Yu hesitated to hunt it because Di Tian and the other ferocious beasts might intervene, and Gu Rong revealed that Han Yu’s parents had gone to Sea God Island.

• Di Tian sealed half the Devil Emperor’s cultivation and warned him to stay out of the Core Zone.
• Di Tian returned to the Lake of Life with Zi Ji and Xiong Jun, saying he would wait for Han Yu in the Star Dou Forest.

Han Yu learned that his mother had reached level ninety-seven and was preparing to return from Sea God Island, strengthening the group’s plans to hunt Evil Dragon. While waiting, he refined Tang San’s Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record and summoned four women to pass on its cultivation techniques.

• Han Yu told Gu Rong that his mother had passed the Sea God’s sixth trial, reached sixty-percent Sea God affinity, and broken through to level ninety-seven.
• Han Yu said his parents planned to return to Douluo Continent soon, and Gu Rong grew confident that their combined strength could defeat Evil Dragon in the Star Dou Forest.
• Han Yu removed Tang Sect rules from the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record and dismissed its Hidden Weapon designs, focusing instead on the Mysterious Heaven Skill and its auxiliary techniques.
• Han Yu summoned Dugu Yan, Ye Lingling, Bai Chenxiang, and Meng Yiran to Listening Bamboo Pavilion to teach them the techniques.
• Han Yu placed a copied booklet on the table, and Ye Lingling asked what it was.

Han Yu revealed the Mysterious Heaven Skill and four Tang Sect techniques to help the women improve their cultivation and prepare for the Ling Tian Sect’s future. He began guiding Dugu Yan through the skill’s first circulation, with the other women waiting to follow.

• Han Yu said Tang San’s version contained a flaw he had removed, then described the Mysterious Jade Hand, Purple Demon Eye, Controlling Crane Capturing Dragon, and Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track.
• Han Yu told the women he hoped to help them reach the God Realm with him and intended to keep the techniques as the Ling Tian Sect’s secret arts, renamed the Ling Tian Treasure Record.
• Dugu Yan volunteered to go first, and Han Yu began guiding Soul Power through her meridians while reciting the circulation route.

Han Yu helped Dugu Yan, Ye Lingling, Bai Chenxiang, and Meng Yiran cultivate the Mysterious Heaven Skill and other techniques, improving their abilities and considering Bai Chenxiang’s potential to inherit the God of Speed.

Han Yu told Gu Yu, Han Feng, and Gu Rong that his second Evil God Trial required him to hunt the Golden Evil Demon King beneath the Lake of Life, where Beast God Di Tian and other powerful soul beasts guarded it. Gu Yu proposed a spatial ambush backed by Sea God pressure, and Han Yu prepared to carry it out with confidence.

• Gu Yu and Han Feng praised Han Yu for taking control of the Heaven Dou Empire and destroying the Clear Sky Sect.
• Han Yu explained that his second Evil God Trial required him to kill the five-hundred-thousand-year Golden Evil Demon King to gain a Soul Bone and divine Spirit Ring.
• Han Yu revealed that the Golden Evil Demon King was beneath the Lake of Life, alongside Di Tian, Zi Ji, Xiong Jun, and the Myriad Demon King.
• Gu Yu reasoned that the soul beasts would avoid provoking a god's inheritor and said her Sea God pressure and Spatial Shuttle ability could help them escape.
• Gu Yu proposed teleporting the group to the Devil Emperor, having Han Feng and Gu Rong suppress him while Han Yu delivered the killing strike, then retreating with Spatial Grand Shift.
• Han Yu agreed to the plan and declared confidence in hunting the Golden Evil Demon King with his Evil Divine Power and other abilities.

Han Yu and his allies launched a surprise attack on the wounded Golden Evil Demon King in the Star Dou Forest Core Zone, intending to claim its blood essence and Spirit Ring. Di Tian intervened just as Han Yu struck, and Han Yu transformed into the Dark Sacred Dragon and charged to meet his Dragon God Claw.

• Han Yu ordered the group to march into the Star Dou Forest Core Zone, and Gu Yu used Spatial Fold: Great Shift to teleport them there.
• Gu Rong sealed off the battlefield while Han Feng knocked down the wounded Golden Evil Demon King and Gu Yu used the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud to suppress its resistance.
• Han Yu prepared to kill the Golden Evil Demon King, but Di Tian shattered the formation and attacked Han Yu and the three Titled Douluo with his Dragon God Claw.
• Han Yu invoked Dark Sacred Dragon possession, reached combat power comparable to a Rank 99 Ultimate Douluo, and clashed with Di Tian’s Dragon God Claw using his dragon claws.

Han Yu blocked Di Tian’s Dragon God Claw and revealed the power of the Evil God, while Gu Yu and the others arrived to support her. Di Tian withdrew his killing intent and accused them of trespassing, but Han Feng and Gu Rong challenged his claim that he had only meant to protect the Golden Evil Demon King.
