Chapter Summaries

Bi Ji and Xiong Jun concluded they could not locate the Gelel Stone vein without Di Tian, while Di Tian learned from the Sky Screen that Du Bisi might claim it and become a godlike threat. Di Tian weighed confronting Du Busi against securing the Dragon Vein, then sensed his presence near Heaven Dou City and considered approaching the Body Sect.

• Bi Ji told Xiong Jun that she could not sense the Gelel Stone vein, and Xiong Jun decided to wait for Di Tian to return.
• King of Ten Thousand Demons and Scarlet King reacted to the Sky Screen, with Scarlet King threatening Du Bisi.
• Di Tian watched the Sky Screen in Sunset Forest and realized the Gelel Stone vein might help him survive future heavenly tribulations.
• Di Tian recalled Du Bisi’s strength and secret techniques, and resolved that he could not let him claim the Star Dou Great Forest’s treasures.
• Di Tian considered exchanging Xiao Xiao for Huo Yuhao because Huo Yuhao might awaken a Sharingan, but decided to focus on obtaining the Dragon Vein.
• Di Tian sensed Du Busi near Heaven Dou City and wondered whether to confront the Body Sect.

Di Tian restrained himself rather than risk disrupting his plan to seize the Dragon Vein. In the Sun Moon Empire, Xu Tianran secured Kong Deming’s support to reclaim control of the realm by giving him the Scientific Soul Tool and its blueprints.

• Di Tian decided not to provoke Du Bisi and vowed to deal with those coveting the Gelel Stone vein after obtaining the Dragon Vein.
• Kong Deming recalled leaving his seclusion to rescue Xu Tianran, then discovering that the man before him had Xu Tianyou’s appearance and a Limit Douluo’s aura.
• Xu Tianran convinced Kong Deming of his identity by revealing details of their shared plans and asked him to help prove who he was to the Sun Moon Empire’s factions.
• Kong Deming hinted that he needed help breaking through to become a tenth-level Soul Engineer, and Xu Tianran recognized he wanted the Scientific Soul Tool’s designs.
• Xu Tianran gave Kong Deming the Scientific Soul Tool and its blueprints, and Kong Deming promised to study them as soon as possible.

Xu Tianran planned to exploit the conflict over the Gelel Stone vein while Kong Deming worked to mass-produce the Scientific Soul Tool. In Ming Capital, Jing Hongchen ended his tests of Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen’s Cursed Seals and revealed that they raised their combat power to near that of low-level Soul Sages.

• Xu Tianran told Kong Deming that Du Bisi’s actions would divide the Alliance and provoke the Star Dou Great Forest’s Soul Beasts, giving the Sun Moon Empire time to seize territory and later take the Gelel Stone vein.
• Xu Tianran urged Kong Deming to crack the Scientific Soul Tool and mass-produce it, and Kong Deming asked to bring his disciples to help with the research.
• Jing Hongchen sparred with Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen in the Virtue Hall testing room, then ended their tests of Orochimaru’s Cursed Seal.
• Jing Hongchen told Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen that their Cursed Seals raised them from around Level 50 to high-level Soul Emperor strength, near that of some low-level Soul Sages without their Martial Soul Avatars.
• Jing Hongchen judged that the Cursed Seal boosted them by changing the intensity of their Soul Power and compared it to the Eight Gates and Seven Heavenly Protectors revealed by the Sky Screen.

Jing Hongchen explained that Orochimaru’s Cursed Seal had greatly increased Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen’s Soul Power intensity, then tested how the enhancement affected their use of Soul Tools. The siblings managed to wield the Banana Leaf Fan together and unleash an ultimate-fire attack, leaving Jing Hongchen astonished by the Cursed Seal’s ability to break the usual limits.

• Jing Hongchen explained that the Cursed Seal had raised Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen’s Soul Power quality by two major ranks.
• Jing Hongchen brought out the Banana Leaf Fan and suggested that the siblings try using it together.
• Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen activated their Cursed Seals and poured their Soul Power into the fan until it responded.
• The siblings swung the Banana Leaf Fan together and destroyed the target with a powerful ultimate-fire attack.
• Xiao Hongchen marveled at the fan’s power while Jing Hongchen realized the siblings had used a Soul Tool far beyond their usual rank.

Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen successfully used the Cursed Seal, prompting Jing Hongchen to plan further Soul Tool tests. On the Sky Screen, Du Bisi searched the Ice Sea for powerful Life Energy and encountered Tobi and two Dawn Organization members, who introduced themselves before negotiations began.

• Jing Hongchen confirmed that Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen had suffered no hidden injuries after using the Cursed Seal.
• Jing Hongchen said he would choose Soul Tools for further tests and secretly put away the Banana Leaf Fan.
• Du Bisi arrived at the Ice Sea with a captured Heaven Soul imperial youth and searched for the Gelel Stone Vein’s immense Life Energy.
• The captive questioned Du Bisi, who said he would sacrifice the Heaven Soul Empire’s friendship to become Immortal and Undying.
• Tobi appeared with two Black Cloaks with Red Clouds and identified himself as an intern of the Dawn Organization, in charge of the matter.

Tobi, Itachi, and Kisame confronted Du Bisi over his plan to reach the Gelel Stone mineral vein and warned him that a guardian protected it. Tobi revealed that the Dawn Organization wanted the guardian, Gyuki, and left Du Bisi to weigh the proposed cooperation.

• Tobi introduced Itachi and Kisame to Du Bisi, who demanded to know what they wanted.
• Tobi said Du Bisi’s recent battle with Mu En had drawn attention and revealed that he knew Du Bisi had met Shennong.
• Du Bisi attacked Tobi, but the punch passed through him and struck the snowfield behind.
• Tobi explained that undoing the Space-Time Hole would alert a powerful guardian protecting the Gelel Stone mineral vein.
• Du Bisi asked about the group’s target and the guardian, and Tobi identified it as the Tailed Beast, Gyuki.

Tobi offered Du Bisi help entering the Space-Time Hole in exchange for access to the Gelel Stone vein, but Du Bisi demanded proof of their strength. Kisame began fighting him on the Ice Sea and forced him into the air with a series of water attacks.

• Tobi said his group would help defeat the guardian and take it away without claiming any of the Gelel Stone vein.
• Du Bisi doubted their claims, then decided to test their strength and sent the Soul Sage youth away from the battlefield.
• Tobi assigned Kisame to fight Du Bisi while he and Itachi withdrew to watch from the snowy peaks.
• Kisame rapidly closed in and swung Samehada, but Du Bisi evaded the strike onto a floating ice floe.
• Kisame used Five Feeding Sharks to shatter the floe and attack Du Bisi, then sent a wall of water toward him with Waterfall Technique.
• Du Bisi rose into the air to escape the approaching wall of water.

Du Bisi trapped Kisame inside his Poison Sea of Suffering domain and attacked with poisonous water and gas. Kisame’s Samehada absorbed the poison and its Soul Power, forcing Du Bisi to reconsider his approach before he vanished from the air.

• Du Bisi unleashed his Poison Sea of Suffering domain, enclosing the battlefield in toxic gas and water.
• Du Bisi sent a towering wave of poisonous water at Kisame, but Kisame split it with a blade aura from Samehada.
• Du Bisi turned the wave into poison gas and drew it in to surround Kisame.
• Kisame held Samehada overhead as it absorbed the poison gas and the Soul Power within it.
• Du Bisi realized Samehada could neutralize Soul Power-based techniques, formed a new plan, and vanished from midair.

Du Bisi and Kisame fought across the snowy coast, with Kisame using a torrent of water and a swarm of sharks to wear Du Bisi down. Du Bisi opened the Sixth Gate of View and unleashed Morning Peacock, destroying the sharks and leaving the battlefield scorched and thawed.

• Du Bisi ambushed Kisame with his Venom-Tongue Long Whip, but Kisame turned to meet the attack with Samehada, and their clash sent both fighters flying apart.
• Du Bisi realized his Soul Power attacks could be absorbed by Samehada, while Kisame formed a Water Formation Wall and unleashed a swarm of water sharks.
• Du Bisi dodged and struck at the sharks with his weakened whip, but the relentless attacks drained his stamina and kept him from reaching Kisame.
• Du Bisi opened the Sixth Gate of View, blasting away nearby sharks and greatly increasing his power.
• Du Bisi used Morning Peacock to send flaming fists into the shark swarm, vaporizing the water sharks and melting the surrounding snow and ice.

Du Bisi used the Eight Gates to overpower Kisame’s water attacks, then awakened his Martial Soul Avatar to fight Kisame’s water dragons. Tobi and Uchiha Itachi watched from a nearby snow mountain as the battle continued.

• Du Bisi blasted Kisame’s Water Formation Wall with a flaming fist, filling the battlefield with mist.
• Kisame unleashed the Great Waterfall Technique, and Du Bisi countered the torrent with flaming strikes from his Venom-Tongue Long Whip.
• Kisame formed dozens of water dragons that charged at Du Bisi through the mist.
• Du Bisi activated his Body Martial Soul Second Awakening and Seventh Soul Skill, summoning an emerald-green giant that fought the water dragons.
• The Snow Empress and the Sea Princess sensed the battle but chose not to intervene, while Tobi watched with Uchiha Itachi and commented on Du Bisi’s Eight Gates.

Du Bisi and Kisame fought fiercely across the Ice Sea while Itachi and Tobi watched, and Du Bisi finally landed a heavy blow on Kisame. Kisame declared the flooded battlefield his home field and unleashed another swarm of Water Sharks, leaving Du Bisi surrounded as he prepared to respond.

• Itachi used his Sharingan to study Du Bisi and questioned Tobi about provoking him, while Tobi explained why Du Bisi would likely avoid opening the eighth gate.
• Du Bisi’s Martial Soul Avatar battled Kisame’s water dragons as Du Bisi and Kisame exchanged attacks with fire and water.
• Du Bisi spotted a gap in Kisame’s waves, reached Kisame’s hidden position, and struck him with a powerful punch that Samehada partly absorbed.
• The force of their collision sent both fighters into the water, where Kisame announced that the flooded battlefield favored him and formed thousands of Water Sharks.
• Du Bisi dodged the shark swarm, reached the seabed, and looked up at the sharks as he formed a decision.

Du Bisi opened the Seventh Gate and unleashed Daytime Tiger against Kisame, whose Great Shark Bullet failed to absorb the attack. The clash devastated the Ice Sea’s boundary with the Far North, and Du Bisi was left realizing how greatly the Eight Gates amplified his physical power.

• Du Bisi opened the Seventh Gate and blasted away Kisame’s Water Sharks, creating a hollow in the surrounding water.
• Du Bisi fired Daytime Tiger, which formed a massive White Tiger from compressed air and charged at Kisame.
• Kisame countered with Great Shark Bullet, but the Water Shark could not absorb the White Tiger’s power because it contained no Soul Power.
• Kisame’s Water Shark swallowed the White Tiger, but the White Tiger expanded and tore it apart from within.
• The White Tiger struck with devastating force, vaporizing seawater and creating a vast crater near the Far North.
• Du Bisi surveyed the ruined battlefield and recognized the immense physical amplification granted by the Eight Gates.

Du Bisi’s Morning Peacock was stopped by Itachi’s Susanoo and consumed by Amaterasu, leaving Du Bisi wary of fighting the Sharingan users with little Soul Power remaining. Tobi offered cooperation over the Gelel Stone vein, and Du Bisi agreed to hear the terms.

• Du Bisi discovered Itachi and Kisame unharmed inside Itachi’s orange Susanoo after it blocked his Daytime Tiger.
• Du Bisi attacked with the Seventh Gate’s Morning Peacock, but Itachi used Amaterasu to consume the flames and force Du Bisi to retreat.
• Du Bisi recalled Shennong’s information about the Sharingan martial soul and reconsidered fighting while his Soul Power was low.
• Tobi emerged from a spiraling vortex and proposed that Du Bisi break the Space-Time Hole seal at the Gelel Stone vein while the Dawn Organization dealt with its guardian, Gyuki.
• Tobi promised the Dawn Organization would take Gyuki but leave the Gelel Stone vein to Du Bisi, who agreed to discuss cooperation.

Mu En and Niu Tian assessed the strength of the Dawn Organization after Tobi and Du Bisi agreed to cooperate. They concluded that Kisame and Uchiha Itachi were formidable Demigod-level threats, while Itachi’s Susanoo shield suggested he might have the potential to reach God Level.

• Tobi declared that the Dawn Organization sought world peace, and Du Bisi agreed to cooperate with him.
• Mu En reviewed the nine powerful Dawn Organization members shown on the Sky Screen and worried about how few people at Shrek could face them.
• Mu En considered Kisame’s vast Soul Power reserves and Uchiha Itachi’s Mangekyō Sharingan, Susanoo, and Amaterasu especially dangerous.
• Mu En asked Niu Tian whether he could handle Tobi, Kisame, Du Bisi, and Uchiha Itachi, and Niu Tian judged the four to be exceptionally powerful.
• Niu Tian assessed Du Bisi and Uchiha Itachi as Demigod-level fighters and privately suspected that Itachi’s Susanoo shield was a divine artifact.

Mu En considered refining the Dragon Core within him to grow stronger, and Niu Tian offered to ask the Clear Sky Sect about a method. Meanwhile, Yan Shaozhe brought Ma Xiaotao to find Huo Yuhao after explaining that the black Amaterasu flames might surpass Ultimate Fire and that Huo Yuhao’s Ultimate Ice could help suppress her Evil Fire.

• Mu En reflected on the threat posed by Du Bisi and the Dawn Organization, then considered whether refining his Dragon Core could strengthen him further.
• Niu Tian said he had never studied Dragon Core refinement but offered to consult the Clear Sky Sect once matters were settled.
• Ma Xiaotao asked Yan Shaozhe whether Amaterasu was Ultimate Fire, and he judged the black flames might be comparable to or stronger than it.
• Yan Shaozhe reassured Ma Xiaotao that she should focus on resolving her Evil Fire and pursuing her own path toward Ultimate Fire.
• Yan Shaozhe and Ma Xiaotao headed to find Huo Yuhao, hoping his Ultimate Ice martial soul could suppress her Evil Fire and ease its restrictions on her cultivation.

By the Sea God Lake, Huo Yuhao learned that the Sharingan’s Susanoo and Amaterasu might be powerful techniques inherent to the martial soul. Yan Shaozhe asked him to use his Ultimate Ice to suppress Ma Xiaotao’s evil fire, and Huo Yuhao agreed before asking about Xu Sanshi’s whereabouts.

• Wang Dong said the orange giant’s shield felt familiar, prompting Huo Yuhao to wonder what had happened to Xu Sanshi and Jiang Nannan after Beibei was captured.
• Sky Dream Ice Silkworm and the Ice Empress explained that Susanoo and Amaterasu were likely powerful soul skills inherent to the Sharingan, and the Ice Empress urged Huo Yuhao to consider its evolutionary path.
• Yan Shaozhe and Ma Xiaotao approached Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong, and Yan Shaozhe explained that Ma Xiaotao’s evil fire was damaging her body and mind.
• Yan Shaozhe asked Huo Yuhao to use his Ultimate Ice to suppress Ma Xiaotao’s evil fire, and Huo Yuhao agreed because she was his senior sister.
• Huo Yuhao asked Yan Shaozhe whether Xu Sanshi had returned safely from the soul beast hunt with Beibei.

Huo Yuhao learned that Xu Sanshi had gone to Ryūchi Cave to cultivate senjutsu, while the Sky Screen’s footage of Du Bisi capturing an imperial descendant reignited tensions between Du Busi and the Heaven Dou Empire. Du Busi began plotting to obtain Huo Yuhao’s Sharingan Martial Soul, and the Evil Emperor paused its search beneath the Ice Sea to watch the Sky Screen.

• Yan Shaozhe told Huo Yuhao that Xu Sanshi had willingly gone to Ryūchi Cave, one of the Three Sacred Grounds, to learn senjutsu.
• The Sky Screen showed Du Bisi capturing and abusing a young Soul Sage of the Heaven Dou Empire’s imperial bloodline, renewing the emperor’s suspicions of Du Busi.
• Du Busi marveled at the Eight Gates and Uchiha Itachi’s Sharingan, then considered ways to seize Huo Yuhao and obtain his eyes.
• The Evil Emperor stopped searching beneath the Ice Sea for the Gelel Stone mineral vein and turned its attention to the Sky Screen.

The Evil Emperor reassessed Du Bisi’s Demigod-level strength and decided to wait for the Sky Screen to reveal more about the Gelel Stone Vein before acting. In Sunset Forest, Di Tian realized the Dawn Organization’s support for Du Bisi threatened the Star Dou Great Forest’s interests and wondered how its forces could withstand them.

• The Evil Emperor recognized that Du Bisi had reached Demigod-level combat strength and considered how his physical attacks might resist spiritual suppression.
• The Evil Emperor decided to learn more about the Gelel Stone Vein through the Sky Screen before making a move.
• Di Tian became enraged when he saw the Dawn Organization helping Du Bisi obtain the Gelel Stone Vein, which sustained the Star Dou Great Forest.
• Di Tian assessed Du Bisi, Kisame, Uchiha Itachi, and the Dawn Organization’s mysterious leader as formidable threats.
• Di Tian concluded that his allies were too few and weak to reliably defend the Star Dou Great Forest and its Gelel Stone Vein.

Di Tian devised a plan to use the Gelel Stone vein to heal Gu Yuena and strengthen the Star Dou Great Forest if his attempt to obtain the Dragon Vein failed. Meanwhile, Xu Tianran flew to the Mingdou Mountain Range to advance the Sun Moon Empire’s military plans, while considering the powerful enemies revealed by the Sky Screen.

• Di Tian reasoned that the Gelel Stone vein’s Life Energy might heal Gu Yuena and ordered the location sent to the Star Dou Great Forest.
• Di Tian planned to seek the Dragon Vein first, then seize Gelel Stone to heal Gu Yuena and empower the soul beasts if that failed.
• Xu Tianran, in Xu Tianyou’s body, flew toward the Mingdou Mountain Range to reinforce the front and capture the strategic pass with four Beast King-class Soul Engineer Regiments.
• Xu Tianran planned for Kong Deming to use blueprints and samples to develop Level 10 Scientific Soul Tools and build the God-Slaying Army.
• Xu Tianran watched the Sky Screen and judged Uchiha Itachi and Du Bisi to be threats beyond Limit Douluo level, with Du Bisi especially unlikely to cooperate with the Sun Moon Empire.

Jing Hongchen studied the Cursed Seals’ effects on Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen and considered using their principles to protect them from Orochimaru. As he approved Xuan Ziwen’s transfer to work with Kong Deming, he began forming a plan to gain powerful support against Orochimaru.

• Xu Tianran set aside thoughts of Di Tian and focused on seizing the Mingdou Mountain Range, forming the God-Slaying Army, and unifying the Douluo Continent.
• Jing Hongchen read a report showing that Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen could use Level 7 Soul Tools despite having Soul Power Levels of forty-eight and forty-nine.
• Jing Hongchen worried that opposing Orochimaru could make him an enemy of both the Dawn Organization and the Sun Moon Empire.
• Jing Hongchen considered researching the Cursed Seal to protect Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen without confronting Orochimaru directly.
• Jing Hongchen approved Xuan Ziwen’s transfer to work with Kong Deming and suspected they were studying a Level 10 Soul Tool obtained through Xu Tianran’s contact with the Dawn Organization.
• Jing Hongchen considered using the Cursed Seal to help equip the army with Level 10 Soul Tools and secure powerful allies against Orochimaru.
