Chapter Summaries

Ye Guyi lured nobles and powerful Soul Masters into a confrontation, then wiped them out and resolved to keep purging the Dou Ling Empire. Ning Que traveled to Qian Duoduo’s academy to retrieve the Myriad Year Mysterious Ice Marrow and investigate Xian Lin’er, but Ye Guyi arrived there before him.

• Several Dou Ling Empire nobles and two Title Douluo encircled Ye Guyi, who had exposed her identity to draw out the forces backing them.
• After receiving Ning Que’s message, Ye Guyi killed the nobles’ forces, including a Rank 95 Super Douluo, and gathered the spoils.
• Ye Guyi decided to return periodically to purge the Dou Ling Empire and told the Auspicious Beast she would postpone visiting the Star Dou Great Forest.
• Ning Que set out for the Heaven Dou Empire to retrieve the Myriad Year Mysterious Ice Marrow and visit Qian Duoduo’s academy, where former Martial God Douluo Xian Lin’er was staying.
• Ning Que reached the academy and found that Ye Guyi had arrived ahead of him.

After a year and a half apart, Ye Guyi reunited with Ning Que and revealed her plan to help him create a second martial soul and inherit the Rakshasa God’s divine seat. Ning Que agreed they could prepare for the attempt, while recognizing its many obstacles and the need to wait for Huo Yuhao to become a god before acting.

• Ning Que greeted Ye Guyi, who kissed him and asked him to wait before absorbing his ninth soul ring.
• Ye Guyi explained that she had gathered faith and was planning to use the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King and Demon Empress to create Ning Que a devouring, death, and darkness martial soul.
• Ye Guyi revealed that she intended to help Ning Que inherit the Rakshasa God’s divine seat, despite abandoning her convictions about accepting her dark side.
• Ning Que warned Ye Guyi that they needed to face dangerous plans together, so she told him everything she had arranged.
• Ning Que judged the plan theoretically possible but noted the missing Rakshasa inheritance and artifacts, then considered entering the God Realm if Ye Guyi inherited a divine seat.
• Ning Que and Ye Guyi decided the plan could serve as an additional option, though they would have to wait until Huo Yuhao became a god before taking action.

Ning Que visited Qian Duoduo’s newly founded New Starting Point Soul Master Academy and learned how it was recruiting talented Soul Engineers, including students poached from Shrek. The visit ended with Qian Duoduo confronting the unexpected arrival of his former wife, Xian Lin'er.

• Ning Que encouraged Ye Guyi to pursue the Rakshasa God’s divine position and asked her to save fragments from Slaughter City for him.
• Ning Que and Ye Guyi inspected New Starting Point Soul Master Academy and found its facilities practical and equipped with Soul Tools.
• Qian Duoduo welcomed Ning Que and explained that the academy had attracted many students, including former Shrek students, while Fan Yu was working toward becoming a ninth-rank Soul Engineer.
• Xian Lin'er appeared at the academy, and Qian Duoduo told Ning Que that she had walked there from Shrek Academy after he had repeatedly tried to send her away.

Ning Que suggested that Qian Duoduo make his unborn child’s godmother Xian Lin'er, giving her a close place in his family without rekindling their relationship. After explaining the plan to Ye Guyi, Ning Que wondered whether Xian Lin'er genuinely wanted to return to Qian Duoduo or was pursuing another purpose, and thought of Yan Shaozhe.

• Qian Duoduo admitted that although he resented Xian Lin'er, he did not want to physically harm her and feared she might threaten his wife and unborn child.
• Ning Que suggested that Qian Duoduo’s child acknowledge Xian Lin'er as its godmother, and Qian Duoduo enthusiastically understood the emotional torment this could cause her.
• Ning Que left the academy with Ye Guyi, who asked him what was happening between Qian Duoduo and Xian Lin'er.
• Ning Que explained that Qian Duoduo and Xian Lin'er remained emotionally entangled, and Ye Guyi recognized that they were tormenting themselves and each other.
• Ning Que described how Xian Lin'er might bond with Qian Duoduo’s child while living with unfulfilled hope, then considered whether Yan Shaozhe was involved.

Ning Que warned Qian Duoduo that Xian Lin'er might use their child to pressure him, then left for Earth Dragon Gate with Ye Guyi. Meanwhile, Dai Yueheng strengthened his position in the White Tiger Duke Mansion while secretly plotting against Dai Huabin, and Zhu Lu considered stealing corpses for her brother.

• Ning Que warned Qian Duoduo that Xian Lin'er might threaten him through their child, and Qian Duoduo promised to be careful.
• Ning Que and Ye Guyi left for Earth Dragon Gate as the chapter shifted to Dai Yueheng and Zhu Lu in the White Tiger Duke Mansion.
• Dai Yueheng used Zhu Lu to help Dai Huabin obtain Evil Soul Master cultivation methods, while secretly planting hidden dangers in them.
• Dai Yueheng formed the Hell White Tiger Martial Soul Fusion Skill with Zhu Lu's aunt, Zhu Youling, and kept their relationship secret.
• Dai Yueheng entered Zhu Lu's tent and left marks on her before the camp received bandit corpses; Zhu Lu considered taking them to Dai Huabin to help him advance.

Zhu Lu secretly took corpses meant for burning to Dai Huabin, hoping to help him grow stronger, unaware that Dai Yueheng had arranged for her to be discovered. Dai Huabin revealed that he knew of her betrayal, then seized her power to break through his cultivation bottleneck.

• Zhu Lu took charge of the corpses as Dai Yueheng’s fiancée and secretly carried them to Dai Huabin.
• Dai Yueheng sent soldiers into the forest to discover Zhu Lu and Dai Huabin, while Zhu Youling arrived at the camp to visit Zhu Lu.
• Dai Huabin welcomed Zhu Lu and claimed he would always accept her, though he had long known she had been intimate with Dai Yueheng.
• Dai Huabin asked whether Zhu Lu would give up everything for him, then accused her of betraying him and grabbed her by the neck.
• Dai Huabin absorbed Zhu Lu’s power, felt his bottleneck break, and hoped to evolve his Martial Soul into a Dark Demon Tiger.

Dai Huabin devoured Zhu Lu, evolving his martial soul into the Nether Tiger King before losing himself to slaughter. Dai Yueheng arrived and pretended to condemn his younger brother, positioning himself as the one who would stop him.

• Zhu Lu realized Dai Huabin had become an Evil Soul Master but chose to give him her strength and support his revenge.
• Dai Huabin broke through Rank 80 and evolved his martial soul into the Nether Tiger King by devouring Zhu Lu.
• Two Soul Emperors witnessed Zhu Lu's death and tried to retreat to report what had happened to Dai Yueheng.
• Dai Huabin lost his mind and attacked the soldiers drilling in the mountain forest, killing many as the fighting spread.
• Dai Yueheng arrived, denounced Dai Huabin as an Evil Soul Master, and charged at him while presenting himself as his brother's executioner.

Dai Yueheng and Zhu Youling unleashed their Martial Soul Fusion Skill to kill the fallen Dai Huabin, but Yan Shaozhe intervened and revealed that he had become a powerful Evil Soul Master. Yan Shaozhe announced that he intended to take Dai Huabin to the Holy Spirit Cult and invited Dai Yueheng to join as well.

• Dai Yueheng fought the fallen Dai Huabin and realized his strength was far greater than expected, so he called for the others to retreat.
• Zhu Youling joined Dai Yueheng, and the two unleashed their Martial Soul Fusion Skill, Hell White Tiger, against Dai Huabin.
• A veiled figure blocked the Hell White Tiger and stopped Dai Yueheng from delivering a fatal strike to Dai Huabin.
• Dai Yueheng recognized the figure as Yan Shaozhe, who had been presumed dead and had become an Evil Soul Master.
• Yan Shaozhe said he would take Dai Huabin to the Holy Spirit Cult, rejected Dai Yueheng's appeal to return to Shrek Academy, and invited him to join the cult.

Yan Shaozhe revealed his transformation into a Rank 97 Evil Soul Master and took Dai Huabin, inviting Dai Yueheng to join him if he ever had nowhere else to turn. Dai Yueheng contacted Ning Que to report what had happened, and Ning Que concluded that Yan Shaozhe was a naturally gifted Evil Soul Master.

• Dai Yueheng saw that Yan Shaozhe's martial soul had become a Blood Phoenix and that his eighth and ninth soul rings were hundred-thousand-year soul rings.
• Yan Shaozhe told Dai Yueheng he was taking Dai Huabin where he belonged, gave him a coordinate Soul Tool, and invited him to seek him out in the future.
• Yan Shaozhe left with Dai Huabin, while Dai Yueheng decided to report the encounter and contacted Ning Que first.
• Dai Yueheng recounted Yan Shaozhe's transformation to Ning Que, who called him a naturally gifted Evil Soul Master Saint.

Ning Que learned that Yan Shaozhe had joined the Holy Spirit Cult and checked on the Nine Treasures Glazed Sect guest Dai Yueheng had imprisoned. Dai Yueheng offered Ning Que a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast’s soul bone to repair their relationship, but Ning Que declined and proposed cooperating in the Star Luo Empire instead.

• Ning Que considered how Yan Shaozhe’s blood ties to Zhongli Wu and Ye Xishui might cause conflict within the Holy Spirit Cult.
• Ning Que asked Dai Yueheng about the Nine Treasures Glazed Sect guest who had watched Dai Huabin, and Dai Yueheng confirmed the man was alive and imprisoned.
• Dai Yueheng feared Ning Que had been plotting against him over his past pursuit of Ye Guyi and decided he needed to make amends.
• Dai Yueheng offered Ning Que the soul bone from a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast he planned to hunt after becoming a Title Douluo.
• Ning Que refused to hunt the soul beast and invited Dai Yueheng to cooperate with him in the Star Luo Empire, easing Dai Yueheng’s anxiety.

Ning Que gave Ye Guyi Myriad Year Mysterious Ice Marrow and a Snow Empress torso bone, but she refused to give the bone to Su Tong. They then arrived in Star Luo City to fulfill their agreement with Xu Jiawei, who came in person to receive the payment.

• Ning Que ended his conversation with Dai Yueheng and explained that he planned to use Dai Yueheng's manpower to develop the Far North's outer regions.
• Ye Guyi asked Ning Que for Myriad Year Mysterious Ice Marrow, and he gave her two Soul Tools of it along with a seven-hundred-thousand-year Snow Empress torso bone.
• Ning Que asked Ye Guyi to bring Su Tong to meet him and offered her a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Spirit on the condition that she establish a force on one of the two continents.
• Ye Guyi agreed to discuss the Soul Spirit with Su Tong but refused to give her the Snow Empress torso bone.
• Ning Que and Ye Guyi reached Star Luo City to fulfill their agreement with Xu Jiawei, and Xu Jiawei came to meet them in person.

Ning Que gave Xu Jiawei the promised Starlight Grass and negotiated a plan to relocate one hundred thousand people, while Ye Guyi went to meet Medical Immortal Douluo. Xu Jiawei revealed his despair over the Sun Moon Empire’s strength and asked whether the Nine Treasures Glazed Sect wanted the throne; Ning Que denied the sect’s interest, though he privately had ambitions of his own.

• Ning Que sent Ye Guyi to visit Medical Immortal Douluo while he kept Xu Jiawei behind to discuss their agreement.
• Ning Que gave Xu Jiawei the promised Starlight Grass, which Xu Jiawei intended to save for his younger sister.
• Ning Que proposed the same relocation deal he had made with the Body Sect and the Heaven Dou Empire, and Xu Jiawei agreed to begin preparations for the first hundred thousand people.
• Xu Jiawei told Ning Que that he knew the Sun Moon Empire’s strength and felt despair about the future, and he criticized Dai Hao for bolstering his own standing.
• Xu Jiawei asked whether the Nine Treasures Glazed Sect wanted the imperial throne, and Ning Que denied the sect had any interest while privately harboring interest in the position.

Ning Que left Xu Jiawei after confirming their cooperation and declined to involve the Nine Treasures Glazed Sect in the next Soul Master Tournament. At the Body Sect, Huo Yuhao told Du Busi he would represent Shrek Academy to avoid drawing the sect into the tournament’s trap, then gave Du Busi a Blood Swan Kiss before leaving temporarily.

• Ye Guyi returned with Medical Immortal Douluo, whose breakthrough from Rank 95 to Rank 96 shocked Xu Jiawei.
• Xu Jiawei asked Ning Que whether the Nine Treasures Glazed Sect would enter the next Soul Master Tournament, but Ning Que said the sect had no interest and advised Xu Jiawei not to participate.
• Ning Que planned to visit the Sun Moon Empire during the tournament to try to contract a hundred-thousand-year Evil Eye as his summoned beast.
• Huo Yuhao told Du Busi that he would compete under Shrek Academy’s name because the tournament was a trap and he wanted to protect the Body Sect, advising its disciples not to enter.
• Huo Yuhao assured Du Busi he would secure a competition spot with Wang Dong and the Clear Sky Sect’s help, then gave Du Busi a Blood Swan Kiss and said he would return to the Body Sect.

Huo Yuhao left to prepare for a plan with Ning Que, while Ning Que secured cooperation with Dai Yueheng and rejected his request for help restoring the White Tiger Duke lineage to the throne. Ning Que then arranged for Ning Tian and the others to leave Shrek Academy before the Soul Master Tournament, leaving his plans underway and his sister safe from the Valley of Love Inquiry.

• Huo Yuhao gave the Blood Swan Kiss to the Body Sect’s master, then contacted Ning Que and agreed to go to the Clear Sky Sect after securing a place in the Soul Master Tournament.
• Ning Que finalized a profitable cooperation with Dai Yueheng, who asked whether the Nine Treasures Glazed Sect would support the White Tiger Duke lineage’s bid to restore the nation.
• Ning Que refused Dai Yueheng’s request, saying the Nine Treasures Glazed Sect would not involve itself in such matters.
• Ning Que ordered Ning Tian and the others to apply for early graduation so they would not be drawn into the Soul Master Tournament and the Valley of Love Inquiry.
• Ning Tian’s father, Ning Yunfan, backed Ning Que’s order, and Ning Tian reluctantly agreed to miss the tournament.
• After confirming Ning Tian and the others would leave the academy, Ning Que contacted Di Tian.

Ning Que and Di Tian prepared to act against the Titan Giant Ape while Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong headed to the Clear Sky Sect, with Huo Yuhao secretly reporting their movements. Di Tian brought the Auspicious Beast to help conceal the operation, but Ning Que questioned whether involving her would expose her to Tang San.

• Ning Que contacted Di Tian through the Black Dragon Scale, and Di Tian agreed to join the plan despite the risk of attracting the God Realm's attention.
• Huo Yuhao began carrying out Ning Que's instructions by reporting when he went with Wang Dong to the Clear Sky Sect, while the Titan Giant Ape and Daming puzzled over his return to Shrek Academy.
• Daming decided to go to Shrek Academy to receive Wang Dong and Huo Yuhao, unaware that Huo Yuhao would secretly relay information about him to Ning Que.
• Ning Que decided to wait until Huo Yuhao's return from the Clear Sky Sect to act, so Tang San would believe Huo Yuhao remained under his control.
• Di Tian arrived with the Auspicious Beast, whose reunion with Ye Guyi showed their growing closeness, and said her Fate Power could conceal the attack on the Titan Giant Ape.
• Ning Que warned that using the Auspicious Beast could bring her to Tang San's attention, but Di Tian had not known Tang San already had his eye on her.

Di Tian told Ning Que that a God Realm powerhouse had tried to seize the Auspicious Beast, while Tang San used a hidden contingency to boost Huo Yuhao’s cultivation at the Clear Sky Sect. Huo Yuhao controlled the sudden power with an unfamiliar version of the Mysterious Heaven Skill, leaving Tang San determined to uncover its origin.

• Di Tian blamed Tang San for the failed attempt to take the Auspicious Beast and warned that the soul beasts would protect her.
• Ning Que considered connecting the Auspicious Beast’s attributes with Ye Guyi but decided the timing was not right.
• Tang San sensed Electrolux in Huo Yuhao’s Sea of Consciousness and activated his contingency to raise Huo Yuhao toward Soul Douluo.
• Electrolux recognized the God Realm’s intervention, while Huo Yuhao suppressed any power he could not control.
• Tang San discovered that Huo Yuhao was using a complete Mysterious Heaven Skill and resolved to question him at the Valley of Love Inquiry.

Tang San decided to use a God-Bestowed Soul Ring to control Huo Yuhao, then ordered the Sky Azure Bull Python to deliver one to him. With Electrolux's reassurance, Huo Yuhao accepted and began absorbing it, as a strand of divine power entered his Sea of Consciousness.

• Tang San reconsidered his plans after Huo Yuhao reached Soul Douluo rank and showed he could control the power himself.
• Tang San decided to bestow a God-Bestowed Soul Ring on Huo Yuhao and devised a plan involving the Auspicious Beast.
• Tang San ordered the Sky Azure Bull Python to bring the soul ring to Huo Yuhao.
• Huo Yuhao suspected the soul ring concealed a trap and hesitated to accept it.
• Electrolux urged Huo Yuhao to accept the ring, and Huo Yuhao crushed it and began absorbing it.
• A strand of special divine power entered Huo Yuhao's Sea of Consciousness during the absorption.

Huo Yuhao endured Tang San’s divine power and raised his eighth soul ring to 420,000 years while Electrolux concealed his strength. Tang San then triggered his contingency in Wang Dong, unaware that it would consume Tang Wutong instead, and ordered the Sky Azure Bull Python to guide Huo Yuhao toward the Auspicious Beast.

• Electrolux recognized the purifying divine power in Huo Yuhao’s Sea of Consciousness as nourishment, pretended to be badly wounded, and hid within Huo Yuhao’s soul.
• Huo Yuhao continued raising his eighth soul ring despite the mounting pressure, ultimately reaching 420,000 years before knocking himself unconscious with a soul shock.
• Tang San approved of Huo Yuhao’s performance and activated the contingency within Wang Dong’s soul, intending for her to awaken as his daughter.
• Elder Yi’s method turned into frenzied devouring, causing Tang Wutong to disappear while Wang Dong remained herself, though Tang San did not realize the change.
• Tang San instructed the Sky Azure Bull Python to tell Huo Yuhao that he needed the Auspicious Beast’s power to awaken Xiao Qi and to help lure Di Tian out.

Huo Yuhao pretended to agree to help Wang Dong, while secretly warning Ning Que that Tang San planned to use the Auspicious Beast to save her. Ning Que and Di Tian prepared to counter the plot, and the chapter ended with them using a disguised Di Tian to lure the Sky Azure Bull Python away.

• The Sky Azure Bull Python told Huo Yuhao that Wang Dong could be saved by borrowing power from the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, and Huo Yuhao agreed while secretly alerting Ning Que.
• Ning Que informed Di Tian of Tang San's plan, and Di Tian vowed to stop the attack on the Auspicious Beast and target the Sky Azure Bull Python as well.
• Di Tian told Ning Que that only the Titan Giant Ape would be targeted in the immediate plan and asked him to bring the Angel God's successor to absorb a soul ring afterward.
• Seven days later, the Sky Azure Bull Python summoned Di Tian to discuss the Soul Beast Clan's future and led him toward a nearby town.
• Yao Ling and Bear Lord, using a disguise and Di Tian's Black Dragon Reverse Scale, impersonated Di Tian to draw the Sky Azure Bull Python away while the real Di Tian remained behind with Ning Que.

Di Tian’s group killed the Titan Giant Ape and extracted the Sea God’s power from his soul, while Ye Guyi prepared to absorb the god-level soul ring that appeared after his death. Outside the Undead Semi-Plane, the Sky Azure Bull Python realized he had been deceived and fought Bear Lord, who wounded him before escaping.

• Di Tian ambushed the Titan Giant Ape, and Electrolux extracted the Sea God’s power from his soul.
• Di Tian sent the dying Titan Giant Ape and the Auspicious Beast into the Undead Semi-Plane, where Ye Guyi killed the Titan Giant Ape.
• A god-level soul ring appeared, and Ye Guyi prepared to absorb it with help from the Golden Tree and Elder Yi.
• The Sky Azure Bull Python sensed Er Ming’s death, recognized that the Di Tian before him was an impostor, and attacked.
• Bear Lord threw Yao Ling clear and struck the Sky Azure Bull Python with Sky-Rending Claw, inflicting deep wounds before slipping away.
