Chapter Summaries

After defeating Huo Wu, Shui Bing'er, and their teammates in a challenge, Xiaofei left Elemental Academy with Yang Wudi and Niugao for the City of Slaughter. He used his status as a God of Slaughter to bring them inside and demanded a meeting with the King of Slaughter.

• Huo Wu, Shui Bing'er, and four others challenged Xiaofei, but he defeated all six and explained how they had failed to use their strengths and coordination.
• Xiaofei departed with Yang Wudi and Niugao, and the three reached the town outside the City of Slaughter after roughly ten days of travel.
• At the tavern, Xiaofei revealed Divine Slaughter's Domain and ordered the waiter to take all three into the City of Slaughter.
• Xiaofei explained that Soul Skills could not be used in the City of Slaughter except by those with Divine Slaughter's Domain and the King of Slaughter's subordinates.
• When the waitress objected to Xiaofei bringing Yang Wudi and Niugao, Xiaofei demanded to see the King of Slaughter, and she went to report to the guard captain.

Xiaofei brought Niugao and Yang Wudi to the City of Slaughter, explained its poisonous Underworld Dew and Hell Slaughter Arena, and negotiated with the King of Slaughter for the Asura Demonic Sword. After adapting to the sword’s Killing Intent, Xiaofei held it and praised its power.

• Xiaofei warned Yang Wudi not to enter the Spirit Combat Arena and explained that the Hell Slaughter Arena and Underworld Dew exposed the City of Slaughter’s people to toxins.
• Yang Wudi examined a cup of Underworld Dew but could not identify its toxin, and an attendant led Xiaofei, Niugao, and Yang Wudi to meet the King of Slaughter.
• Xiaofei demonstrated his strength to the King of Slaughter and asked to borrow the Asura Demonic Sword, promising not to attack the City of Slaughter.
• The King of Slaughter lent Xiaofei the sword after confirming that the City of Slaughter had no Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts.
• Xiaofei grasped the Asura Demonic Sword, endured its Killing Intent, and gradually adapted to it as his Divine Slaughter's Domain mark appeared on his Kirin Arm.

Wang Xiaofei arranged for Yang Wudi and Niugao to meet Tang Chen, who briefly regained consciousness in the City of Slaughter and entrusted them with messages for the Clear Sky Sect. After Tang Chen fell unconscious again, Xiaofei searched the city and the Road to Hell for the Asura God Hall but found no trace of it.

• Wang Xiaofei secured the King of Slaughter's permission for himself, Yang Wudi, and Niugao to meet Tang Chen for half an hour.
• Tang Chen recognized Yang Wudi and Niugao, heard their account of the Clear Sky Sect's seclusion, and sent them back with the Clear Sky Token and a letter for Xiao.
• Tang Chen gave Wang Xiaofei a letter for Bo Saixi and explained that the Clear Sky Sect's inherited treasure had enabled his rise to Rank 99.
• Tang Chen told Wang Xiaofei that entry to the Asura God Hall required Asura God's recognition through killing in the City of Slaughter, then fell unconscious after their meeting ended.
• Wang Xiaofei searched the City of Slaughter and the Road to Hell with Yang Wudi and Niugao, but found no Asura God Hall and encountered an unknown powerful beast.

After leaving the City of Slaughter without gaining the Asura God’s inheritance, Xiaofei headed for the Star Dou Great Forest to seek a fragmented God Position. Meanwhile, Bibi Dong learned that several powerful Soul Beasts had vanished, disrupting her planned hunt.

• Xiaofei learned from the King of Slaughter that the entire City of Slaughter was the Asura God Hall, then left with Yang Wudi and Niugao as the Asura God watched them depart.
• Xiaofei forged a sheath for the Asura God Sword and told Yang Wudi and Niugao that saving Tang Chen would require multiple Gods of Slaughter, a Titled Douluo Healing Soul Master, or a god.
• Xiaofei deduced that slaughtering more than half the City of Slaughter might earn the Asura God’s recognition, but decided to seek other inheritances instead and asked Yang Wudi and Niugao to deliver a thousand criminals to the King of Slaughter.
• Yang Wudi and Niugao agreed to find prisoners and parted ways with Xiaofei, who headed toward the Star Dou Great Forest to seek the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger for a fragmented God Position.
• Bibi Dong received reports that the Titan Giant Ape, Sky Azure Bull Python, and several other high-level Soul Beasts had vanished, and ordered an immediate investigation.

Xiaofei entered the Star Dou Great Forest and used powerful Soul Beast corpses as bait to lure the cautious Dark Demon Evil God Tiger. After killing a Jade Scale Snake Emperor and finding its Soul Bone, he watched the tiger cautiously approach the corpse.

• Xiaofei forged tools and entered the forest alone, disguising his strength while searching for the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger.
• A Human-Faced Demon Spider Emperor attacked Xiaofei, and he fought it while sensing the tiger watching from hiding.
• Xiaofei killed the Human-Faced Demon Spider Emperor, found a sixty-thousand-year Soul Bone, and left its corpse for the tiger to consume.
• Over the following half month, Xiaofei killed several more Soul Beasts while the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger ate their corpses and grew stronger.
• Xiaofei defeated a Jade Scale Snake Emperor, found its seventy-thousand-year Torso Bone, and secretly placed a Beast Soul Pill in its corpse.
• The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger cautiously approached and began consuming the Jade Scale Snake Emperor's corpse after its Soul Ring dispersed.

After devouring the Jade Scale Snake Emperor, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger broke through to become a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, but Xiaofei ambushed and fatally wounded it. The two were pulled into the Life and Death Arena, where Xiaofei killed the tiger and returned beside its corpse as its Soul Ring appeared.

• The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger devoured the Jade Scale Snake Emperor and broke through to a hundred thousand years, alarming the Titan Giant Ape and Sky Azure Bull Python.
• Xiaofei emerged from underground and ambushed the newly advanced Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, badly injuring it with Earth Ant Emperor Slash.
• Xiaofei fought the wounded tiger, countering its attacks and forcing it to unleash the Evil God Thorn, which pulled them both into the Life and Death Arena.
• Xiaofei scattered iron caltrops and animal traps across the arena, then shot the small tiger with crossbows until it died.
• Xiaofei returned to the forest beside the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's corpse as its red-and-gray Soul Ring appeared.

Xiaofei captured the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger’s Evil God Bead and absorbed its Soul Ring, breaking through to Level 99 and gaining two powerful Soul Skills. He returned to the Elemental Academy, where Yang Wudi and Niugao reported that they had delivered a thousand prisoners to the King of Slaughter and questioned Xiaofei about his transformation.

• Xiaofei found no Soul Bone in the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger’s corpse, but caught the Evil God Bead as it flew toward a crack in the sky and stored it in the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud.
• Xiaofei absorbed the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger’s Soul Ring; his Spiritual Power surged, and he broke through to Level 99.
• Xiaofei discovered that his seventh Soul Ring granted Martial Soul Avatar with Evil God Break and the Life and Death Arena Soul Skill.
• Xiaofei left the Star Dou Great Forest and returned to the Elemental Academy in less than ten days, where he found Yang Wudi and Niugao waiting for him.
• Yang Wudi and Niugao told Xiaofei they had delivered a thousand prisoners to the King of Slaughter and feared the Clear Sky Sect’s response.
• Yang Wudi sensed Xiaofei had reached Level 99, and Xiaofei revealed his seven red Soul Rings and explained that the seventh came from the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger.

Xiaofei discussed the Clear Sky Sect’s plans to rescue Tang Chen and investigated the mysterious Evil God Bead with Yang Wudi. After absorbing the bead into the center of his brow, Xiaofei noticed his Soul Power and Spiritual Power beginning to transform toward the peak of Rank 99.

• Xiaofei predicted that the Clear Sky Sect could lose many people if it tried to rescue Tang Chen, while Tang Xiao and the five elders argued over whether to enter the City of Slaughter.
• Tang Xiao agreed to summon Tang Hao to investigate the City of Slaughter after the elders opposed sending him there.
• Xiaofei showed the Evil God Bead to Yang Wudi, who suggested it might be an extraordinary energy-based object resembling a Soul Core.
• Xiaofei tried to bond with the Evil God Bead using his blood, then guided it into his body as if absorbing a Soul Bone.
• The Evil God Bead merged into the center of Xiaofei’s brow, leaving a tiger-shaped mark that later faded as his Soul Power and Spiritual Power began changing.

Xiaofei considered what he needed to become a god and decided to seek the Fire God Palace. Tang Hao visited the Elemental Academy to ask about saving Tang Chen, but Xiaofei warned that a rescue could kill him and refused to intervene.

• Xiaofei reflected on the divine tools and the requirements for godhood, concluding that he needed to find the Fire God Palace and obtain a Torso Bone.
• Xiaofei sensed Tang Hao’s arrival and welcomed him for tea at the Elemental Academy.
• Tang Hao asked how Xiaofei had identified the King of Slaughter as Tang Chen, and Xiaofei explained his reasoning.
• Tang Hao said he wanted to save Tang Chen, but Xiaofei refused to attack the City of Slaughter and warned that rescuing Tang Chen now could kill him.
• Xiaofei defended the Elemental Academy’s actions and said it owed the Clear Sky Sect nothing, after which Tang Hao calmed down and the two sat in silence.

Xiaofei refused Tang Hao’s request for help against the King of Slaughter and defended Elemental Academy’s neutrality. He then led his seven companions to the Frozen Forest in search of clues about the Fire God Palace, where they prepared to face the Far North’s dangerous soul beasts.

• Tang Hao asked Xiaofei to help him defeat the King of Slaughter or lend him the Asura Demonic Sword, but Xiaofei refused and warned him not to attack Elemental Academy.
• Huo Tianchen, Niugao, and Yang Wudi confronted Tang Hao and told him that Elemental Academy wanted no ties to him or the Clear Sky Sect, so Tang Hao left.
• Xiaofei reflected on the delayed war between the empires and Spirit Hall and on Tang San’s group still being absent.
• Two days later, Xiaofei and his seven companions set out for the Far North, suspecting that its Ultimate Ice might be connected to the Sea God’s clue about an ultimate attribute.
• After eight days of travel, the group reached the outskirts of the Frozen Forest, where Xiaofei explained the dangers and said he wanted to ask Ice Empress and Snow Empress about certain matters.

Xiaofei and his companions traveled into the Far North, where they encountered the Titan Snow Demon Ape and Ice Bear King guarding the way to the Ice Empress and Snow Empress. After defeating the two hundred-thousand-year Soul Beasts and giving them water from the Lake of Life, Xiaofei promised he meant no harm and asked to speak with the Far North’s rulers.

• The seven travelers entered the Frozen Forest in cold-weather gear and journeyed for eight days toward the Far North’s core.
• The group encountered a seventy-thousand-year-old ice dragon but quietly left because they did not need Soul Rings.
• Xiaofei led the group toward the roar of a battle and found the Titan Snow Demon Ape fighting the Ice Bear King.
• Xiaofei asked the two Soul Beasts to take him to the Ice Empress and Snow Empress, but the Ice Bear King demanded that he defeat them first.
• Xiaofei fought the two Soul Beasts and wounded them with his Lizard Emperor Claw Soul Skill.
• Xiaofei gave the wounded Soul Beasts water from the Lake of Life and assured them that he only wanted to ask the Ice Empress and Snow Empress some questions.

Xiaofei fought the Ice Empress and Snow Empress after asking about the Ice God and Fire God inheritance grounds. He learned that the Ice God's grounds were in the Far North and asked them to take his group there, while doubting that the Fire God's grounds had truly vanished.

• The Titan Blood Demon Ape and Ice Bear King demanded to know why Xiaofei had come, and he asked them about the Ice God and Fire God inheritance grounds for a companion with an Ice Phoenix Martial Soul.
• The Ice Empress and Snow Empress arrived, heard the Ice Bear King’s complaint, and attacked Xiaofei before he could question them.
• Xiaofei used Phoenix Transformation, Phoenix Flame, and his Asura Domain to fight the Ice Empress and Snow Empress, eventually countering their fusion skill with Light of Phoenix.
• After the three stopped fighting, the Ice Empress and Snow Empress said the Ice God's inheritance grounds were in the Far North and the Fire God's grounds had vanished into the void.
• Xiaofei doubted that the Fire God's inheritance grounds were truly gone and asked the Ice Empress and Snow Empress to take his group to the Ice God's grounds.

Xiaofei and the others persuaded the Ice Empress and Snow Empress to guide them to the Ice God's inheritance site. They discovered that the Ice God Palace lay beneath more than ten thousand zhang of ice, but Xiaofei resolved to dig their way in.

• Xiaofei explained that the group had come under the Sea God's guidance and promised they would not harm the Far North, persuading the Snow Empress to lead them to the inheritance site.
• The group traveled with the Snow Empress, Ice Empress, Titan Snow Demon Ape, and Ice Bear King, then rested together over roasted meat and wine.
• The next evening, the group reached a flat, empty area in the Far North's core region, where the cold was so severe that even Yang Pojun and Feng Xiaotian struggled to endure it.
• The Snow Empress revealed that the Ice God's inheritance site was buried beneath more than ten thousand zhang of ice, with Ultimate Ice at its deepest layer.
• Xiaofei insisted that the group could dig their own path to the Ice God Palace, and the others agreed to face the challenge.

Xiaofei and his companions dug toward Ice God Palace while Bibi Dong and Tang San made major moves across the continent. Tang San revived Xiao Wu but remained far weaker than in the original events, as Xiaofei finally sensed that Ice God Palace was near.

• Snow Empress and Ice Empress departed after warning Xiaofei and the others not to harm the Far North, and the group settled nearby to dig toward Ice God Palace.
• Bibi Dong led six Titled Douluo into the Star Dou Great Forest, failed to find the Titan Giant Ape and Sky Azure Bull Python, and reached Level 99 by absorbing high-age soul rings.
• After completing the seventh Sea God Trial, Tang San and his companions entered the Star Dou Great Forest and reunited with Daming, Erming, and Xiao Wu.
• Daming told Tang San that Wang Xiaofei had warned them of Bibi Dong's hunt, and Tang San's group gathered soul bones and hunted soul beasts to strengthen him.
• Tang San reached Level 91 and revived Xiao Wu, but he lacked the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Rings and arm bones he would have gained in the original events.
• Xiaofei continued chiseling through the ice and sensed the majestic aura of Ice God Palace.

Xiaofei and his companions opened the Ice God Palace with the power of Shui Bing'er and Xiaofei's Ice-Fire Phoenix fusion. Inside, Shui Bing'er met a wisp of the Ice God's soul and accepted the Ice God's inheritance, leaving her Sea God mark transformed into an Ice Phoenix mark.

• Shui Bing'er sensed a connection to the Ice God Palace, but her Ice Phoenix Martial Soul alone could not open its gates.
• Shui Bing'er and Xiaofei fused their Martial Souls into an Ice-Fire Phoenix, opening the gates so all seven could enter.
• The seven reached the grand hall, where Shui Bing'er's Ice Phoenix flew to the statue and awakened an illusory figure of the Ice God.
• Shui Bing'er explained how the Sea God's trial had led the group to the Far North, and the Ice God offered her the chance to inherit its legacy.
• Shui Bing'er accepted the inheritance, and white light transformed the Sea God Trident mark on her brow into an Ice Phoenix mark.

Shui Bing'er received the Ice God's trial, which required her to claim the entire Ice God Palace. Xiaofei explained the path to godhood and helped the group identify dangerous training grounds in the palace, while several gods took notice of their progress.

• The Ice God told Xiaofei that the Fire God Palace had vanished into the void and warned him that his many opportunities had cost him his original purity.
• The Sea God sensed that Shui Bing'er's trial had changed and told the Fire God that the group had likely found the Ice God Palace; the Fire God chose to let them gain more experience before beginning his trial.
• A black-clad god noticed that his tiger had become a hundred-thousand-year Soul Beast and that a boy had absorbed the Evil God Bead, while a blood-red figure sensed the Ice God's return and watched the boy's choices.
• Shui Bing'er revealed that the Ice God's trial had one requirement: gaining ownership of the entire Ice God Palace.
• Xiaofei explained how gods obtained God Positions and divine artifacts, and said the City of Slaughter was an Asura God inheritance site.
• Shui Bing'er sensed several dangerous places in the Ice God Palace that served as training grounds for the trial.

Xiaofei and his companions entered the Profound Ice Cave and discovered a pool of Ten Thousand Year Ice Marrow, which they absorbed to strengthen themselves. After a month, Shui Bing'er’s Ice Phoenix reached the realm of Ultimate Ice, and the group emerged with greatly increased Soul Power.

• Shui Bing'er opened the Profound Ice Cave with the Ice Phoenix mark, and Xiaofei reached its depths ahead of the others.
• Xiaofei identified the Profound Ice Pool’s contents as Ten Thousand Year Cold Marrow and told the others that Titled Douluo-level strength was needed to reach it.
• Shui Bing'er, Niu Meng, Feng Xiaotian, and Yang Pojun each passed through the cave’s trials and joined Xiaofei, Huo Wu, and Huo Wushuang at the pool.
• Xiaofei explained how to absorb the ice marrow, and the seven began cultivating with it inside the cave.
• After a month, the group had absorbed all the ice marrow; Xiaofei stopped after eight strands, while Shui Bing'er absorbed thirteen and reached Rank 90.
• Huo Wu and Huo Wushuang reached Rank 94, Feng Xiaotian and Shui Bing'er reached Rank 90, Yang Pojun and Niu Meng reached Rank 80, and Shui Bing'er's Ice Phoenix attained Ultimate Ice.

Xiaofei trained at the Profound Ice Cliff, overcame doubts about his state of mind, and reached god-level Spiritual Power while questioning the Ice God Palace and the Fire God Palace. After two months, Shui Bing'er and the others returned from the Ice Prison with powerful Soul Rings and Soul Bones, and Shui Bing'er’s remaining trials were set out.

• The Ice God sent Shui Bing'er and five others into the Ice Prison to obtain Soul Rings, while directing Xiaofei to the Profound Ice Cliff.
• Xiaofei examined the Ice God Palace, questioned whether it existed in the void, and pondered where the Fire God Palace might be hidden.
• Xiaofei overcame a crisis of doubt, resolved to press forward, and raised his Spiritual Power to the god level.
• The Ice God confirmed Xiaofei’s insight into the palaces but urged him to follow his resolve, and Xiaofei grew grim as he watched the sunrise.
• Shui Bing'er and the others returned badly injured after two months in the Ice Prison; Shui Bing'er, Feng Xiaotian, Niu Meng, and Yang Pojun had obtained Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Rings and Soul Bones.
• The Ice God’s remaining requirements for Shui Bing’er were to reach level 99, gain a full set of Soul Bones, obtain the Blade of Freezing Ice, and earn the Ice God Palace’s recognition.

Wang Xiaofei and the others found the Fire God Palace and sought the Fire God’s inheritance, but a black tiger mark swallowed the divine trial meant for Wang Xiaofei. The Fire God allowed Wang Xiaofei to take part in related trials despite being unable to inherit, and Wang Xiaofei asked whether his existing God Position could be completed.

• Wang Xiaofei used Shui Bing'er’s Ice-Fire Phoenix fusion to locate the Fire God Palace, which appeared in the sky at noon.
• The seven entered the palace and agreed to accept the Fire God’s inheritance trials.
• The Fire God’s trial marks appeared for Huo Wushuang and Huo Wu, while the trial energy vanished from the others and Wang Xiaofei’s black tiger mark devoured his share.
• The Fire God and Sea God discussed how Wang Xiaofei’s mark might be connected to the Evil God King and the Asura God.
• The Fire God told Wang Xiaofei he could not inherit the Fire God’s position but could participate in related trials, and Wang Xiaofei asked whether his existing God Position could be completed.

The Fire God offered Huo Wu and Huo Wushuang a chance to inherit his power by climbing the Fire God Tower and winning the Fire God Staff’s recognition. After three months of trials, Xiaofei reached the 999th step but could go no farther, while the group gained powerful changes to their abilities.

• The Fire God explained that completing a God Position required the Evil God King’s intervention or Origin Power, then revealed the Fire God Tower and set its summit as the inheritance trial for Huo Wu and Huo Wushuang.
• The Fire God allowed Xiaofei to cultivate in the Fire God Palace and warned the group that the tower’s flames could burn climbers to ashes.
• Xiaofei discovered that the tower’s flames resisted his non-Fire soul bones, so he kept climbing and used the trial to temper them.
• After three months, Xiaofei reached the 999th step but could not climb higher; the trial had converted all his soul bones to the Fire Attribute and raised two of them to the one-hundred-thousand-year level.
• Huo Wu’s flames evolved into Ultimate Fire and she advanced a rank, while Shui Bing’er strengthened her ice through the trial.
