The Clear Sky Sect’s Second Elder sought Xue Ye’s support to let the sect secretly relocate into the Heaven Dou Empire, offering Yang Wudi’s help to examine the emperor. The chapter left Xue Ye having consumed Yang Wudi’s medicine while Ge Long remained suspicious and tensions in the hall stayed high.

• The Second Elder decided to approach Xue Ye for support, hoping to secure a way for the Clear Sky Sect to leave its isolated mountain and settle within the Heaven Dou Empire.

• After a palace maid drank the medicine without ill effects, Ge Long remained unconvinced, and the Seventh Elder threatened him before Xue Ye stopped the argument.
• Xue Ye drank the medicine himself, while Ge Long remained wary and the tense gathering waited for its effects.

Xue Ye suddenly died in the palace, and Ge Long and Meng Shenji attacked the Second Elder, Seventh Elder, and Yang Wudi as assassins.

In Spirit City, the fourth tournament round began with Dugu Yan confronting Tang San and proposing an early settlement between rivals on their teams.

• Snake Lance and Pufferfish secretly witnessed the palace aftermath and disappeared as the fourth round of the tournament began in Spirit City.
• Dugu Yan proposed that the grudges between members of Imperial Dou and Shrek be settled before the fifth round, and the two rivals stepped forward beside their captains.

Dugu Yan arranged a one-on-one duel between Zhu Zhuqing and Dai Mubai, promising the Imperial Dou Team’s surrender if Dai Mubai won. Zhu Zhuqing wounded Dai Mubai with her clones but was struck in return, and the chapter ended as her appearance changed, shocking Dai Mubai and Dai Weisi.

• Dugu Yan offered Dai Mubai a fair duel with Zhu Zhuqing and promised to concede if he defeated her, and Tang San accepted the arrangement.
• Dugu Yan encouraged Zhu Zhuqing before both teams withdrew to the arena’s edges, leaving the former betrothed to settle their conflict.
• Zhu Zhuqing and Dai Mubai announced their Spirit ranks and Martial Souls, then the referee began their fight.

• Zhu Zhuqing declared she would fight Dai Mubai head-on, then her hair turned snow-white and her cat ears grew into tiger ears, startling Dai Mubai and Dai Weisi.

Zhu Zhuqing revealed that she had awakened the White Tiger as a second Martial Soul, then used a Self Martial Soul Fusion Skill to transform into the Hell White Tiger and overwhelm Dai Mubai. She continued attacking despite the strain of sustaining the transformation, leaving Dai Mubai injured and his defense shattered.

• Zhu Zhuyun, Dai Weisi, Dai Mubai, Shui Yue'er, Shui Bing'er, and Huo Wu reacted with shock to Zhu Zhuqing's White Tiger Martial Soul.

• Zhu Zhuqing charged Dai Mubai and switched rapidly between her White Tiger and Hell Spirit Cat Martial Souls before combining them into a Self Martial Soul Fusion Skill.
• Zhu Zhuqing's Hell White Tiger smashed Dai Mubai's Blood Tiger Fierce Light Wave, struck him across the arena, and left him coughing blood.
• Zhu Zhuqing pressed her attack as her Soul Power drained, while Dai Mubai's Blood Tiger Body Protection Barrier failed to stop the Hell White Tiger's paw.

Zhu Zhuqing defeated Dai Mubai with her Self Martial Soul Fusion Skill, forcing Shrek to surrender and securing the Imperial Dou Team a place in the top three. Afterward, Tang San failed to reproduce Zhu Zhuqing’s fusion with his own martial souls, while Bibi Dong took a keen interest in the skill.

• Yu Tianheng moved to intervene after Dai Mubai’s arms broke, but Dugu Yan’s dragon’s might stopped him, and Tang San surrendered the match for Shrek.

• Yu Xiaogang urged Tang San to attempt a Self Martial Soul Fusion Skill, but Tang San could not make the Clear Sky Hammer and Dark Blue Silver Grass resonate.
• Bibi Dong watched the arena and became interested in Zhu Zhuqing’s unprecedented Self Martial Soul Fusion Skill.

Bibi Dong explored the potential fusion of her two Martial Souls while Spirit Hall Team defeated Skywater Team in the semifinals, and Mu Ci led Plant Team to a crushing victory over Imperial Dou Team. The top three gathered before Pope Palace, where Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo concluded that the criminal Spirit Hall planned to execute was likely Tang Hao.

• Bibi Dong briefly formed and lost a phantom fusion of the Death Spider Emperor and Soul-Devouring Spider Emperor, then decided to study the combination further.

• Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo discussed Spirit Hall's formidable guards at Pope Palace and reasoned that the criminal due to be executed was Clear Sky Douluo Tang Hao.

Dai Weisi taunted Dai Mubai over his transformation and warned him that the Star Luo Emperor would pursue him, while Flender pulled Mubai away before the tension escalated. At Pope Palace, Bibi Dong arrived and sensed that the Snow Empress was a Demigod and a Deity’s High Priest, leaving her wary of confronting Mu Ci’s allies.

• Dai Weisi mocked Dai Mubai for fleeing to Heaven Dou and warned that the Star Luo Emperor would condemn him for using the Fallen Spirit Master Secret Art.
• Dai Mubai’s blood mist rose as he considered killing Dai Weisi and claiming the throne, but Flender urged him to return to his team.
• The Pope Palace doors opened, and Bibi Dong emerged before the gathered tournament teams with several Title Douluo behind her.
• Bibi Dong noticed Mu Ci, Xue Qinghe, Hu Liena, Yu Xiaogang, and the Snow Empress, then sensed the Snow Empress’s Demigod strength and divine aura.
• Bibi Dong concluded that the Snow Empress was a Deity’s High Priest and decided not to provoke her or Mu Ci.

Hu Liena and Dugu Yan both forfeited their opening individual match, sending the Plant Team directly into the championship match and themselves into the loser bracket. Hu Liena and Dugu Yan then began their elimination battle, with their teams and spirit forms ready as the chapter ended.

• Bibi Dong presented three Soul Bones and announced the fifth round’s individual elimination format, which would determine one direct finalist and two teams for the loser bracket.
• Hu Liena and Dugu Yan simultaneously forfeited their match, prompting Yan to question Hu Liena and Xie Yue to defend her authority as captain.
• Yu Xiaogang reasoned that the teams had forfeited to preserve their strength and avoid having Mu Ci fight either Hu Liena or Dugu Yan, while Tang San believed Hu Liena simply did not want to battle Mu Ci.
• Bibi Dong accepted both forfeits, advanced the Plant Team to the championship match, and called for the loser bracket match to begin shortly.
• Half an hour later, Hu Liena and Dugu Yan led their teams into the arena, and the match began as the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox and Abyssal Ancient Dragon possessed them.

Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling revealed their Martial Soul Fusion Skill, Black Abyss White Flower, against Hu Liena and Xie Yue’s Heavenly Fox Howls at the Moon. The two fusion skills reached Title Douluo-level power, and Hu Liena’s confidence faltered when a Death Black Dragon emerged from Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling’s rift.

• Zhu Zhuqing and Yan fought while the other teams’ Soul Masters clashed, and the two captains later called a halt so Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling could face Hu Liena and Xie Yue.
• Ye Lingling healed her teammates, then the four captains and partners prepared to unleash their Martial Soul Fusion Skills.
• Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling formed Black Abyss White Flower as Hu Liena and Xie Yue formed Heavenly Fox Howls at the Moon, prompting Bibi Dong to send Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo to contain the power.
• Tang San wondered how Hu Liena’s fusion skill had changed and how Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling could fuse, while Mu Ci’s knowledge explained their opposing life-and-death attributes and close bond.
• A Death Black Dragon emerged from the rift in Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling’s fusion skill, and Hu Liena’s confidence collapsed as she faced it.

Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling’s Death Dragon clashed with Hu Liena and Xie Yue’s Nine-Tailed Demon Fox, with both sides exhausting their spirit power before launching their ultimate attacks. Their collision shattered the arena barrier, leaving Bibi Dong and the Title Douluos scrambling to contain the aftermath.

• Hu Liena and Dugu Yan agreed to settle the match with one final attack as their spirit power ran low.
• Hu Liena unleashed Moon-Eclipsing Sky Fox, while Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling transformed their Death Dragon with the power of their flower field into Dragon Spirit Nirvana.
• The two attacks collided, melting the plaza and shattering the barrier maintained by Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo.
• Bibi Dong ordered everyone to strike together, and Chrysanthemum Douluo raised a temporary barrier before calling on Ghost Douluo to help.

The collision between the Imperial Dou Team’s and Spirit Hall Team’s Martial Soul Fusion Skills forced several Title Douluo to contain its aftermath, while Mu Ci’s hidden tree roots helped stabilize Pope Mountain. As the judges declared the Imperial Dou Team the winner, two Clear Sky Sect elders plotted to kill Mu Ci and Dugu Yan, and Mu Ci sensed their hostility.

Mu Ci and Bibi Dong presented a controlled corpse made from Tang Hao’s remains as the captured Clear Sky Douluo, intending to use it for a public execution ceremony.
