After returning from a five-year disappearance, Wang Sheng met Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan and Ghost Douluo Gui Mei and used a meal to warn them against Spirit Hall acting against the two empires.

• Wang Sheng raced toward the outskirts of the city, and Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan and Ghost Douluo Gui Mei pursued him but could not close the distance.
• Onlookers in the city recognized the three as powerful soul masters, while the city lord and Spirit Branch Hall bishop reacted to Wang Sheng’s pursuit by Spirit Hall’s experts.
• Wang Sheng stopped ten miles outside the city, challenged Yue Guan and Gui Mei to use their Martial Soul Fusion Skill, and asked to see Yue Guan’s Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum.
• Yue Guan sent ten petals at Wang Sheng, but Wang Sheng knocked them aside with ten leaves using a hidden-weapon technique.
• Wang Sheng drew the falling leaves into a spinning mass between his hands and told Yue Guan and Gui Mei that the real shock was still to come.

Wang Sheng overwhelmed Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan and Ghost Douluo Gui Mei without releasing his martial soul or soul rings, using swift attacks and his Flame Domain to force them onto the defensive. After they escaped the flames, Wang Sheng attacked from the air with Venomous Firefly, and his Three-Colored Flame burned through their combined defenses as the sparks converged on them.

• Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan used Strange Flower, but Wang Sheng dodged and hurled over a hundred leaves at him and Ghost Douluo Gui Mei.

• Wang Sheng commanded the sparks to gather around Yue Guan and Gui Mei.

• Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan and Ghost Douluo Gui Mei headed to Spirit Hall's Holy City to report Wang Sheng's strength to Bibi Dong.
• Half a month later, people in Heaven Dou Royal City discussed Wang Sheng's return and his victory over the two Title Douluo.

After Wang Sheng returned to the Heaven Dou Empire and defeated Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan and Ghost Douluo Gui Mei, his allies celebrated while Spirit Hall feared his strength. Bibi Dong and Qian Daoliu heard the injured Title Douluos’ report and learned that Wang Sheng had barely shown his abilities.

• At the Royal Academy, Wu Xiao'ai teased Nangong Feiyan, and Dugu Yan’s banter sparked a scuffle that Zhang Xuan and Wu Xiaodong avoided breaking up.
• Xiao Tian brought the group back to discussing Wang Sheng’s return, and they wondered whether Dongfang Jinghan had come back with him before worrying that they might have separated.
• Emperor Xue Ye celebrated Wang Sheng’s victory over Yue Guan and Gui Mei, while the Star Luo Emperor welcomed the news and Spirit Hall’s branch halls feared Wang Sheng might attack them.
• Bibi Dong and Qian Daoliu questioned Yue Guan and Gui Mei about their defeat, and the two reported that Wang Sheng had overcome their attacks while using at most one Third Soul Ring Skill.
• Gui Mei said he had not actually seen Wang Sheng use a soul skill, leaving Bibi Dong to look to Qian Daoliu for his judgment.

After Wang Sheng’s power unsettled Spirit Hall, Bibi Dong suspended the war and ordered an investigation while Qian Daoliu set out to verify Sea God Island’s strength. Wang Sheng then reached the Star Dou Forest, where he joined a group led by Elder Chen after recognizing that Xiesi was a transformed Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast.

• Bibi Dong suspended the war and ordered Yue Guan and Gui Mei to investigate Wang Sheng’s strength and movements.
• Qian Daoliu told Bibi Dong he would personally visit Sea God Island to verify what had happened.
• Wang Sheng arrived at the Star Dou Forest, determined to bring Meier back and reunite with her and Dongfang Jinghan.
• Wang Sheng noticed that Xiesi, one of the thirty-four people approaching the forest, was a transformed Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast with an evil aura.
• Xiesi persuaded Elder Chen to let Wang Sheng join their group, then stopped the others from demanding that Wang Sheng thank him.
• Wang Sheng silently studied Xiesi, leaving him uneasy that his identity might have been seen through.

Wang Sheng joined a group heading into the Star Dou Forest and discovered that Ning Haifeng was from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. He sensed a Title Douluo following them and wondered whether the stranger had come for Xiesi, a hundred-thousand-year spirit ring, or a Spirit Bone.

• Xiesi reacted with fear to Wang Sheng, but the old man and the others noticed nothing unusual and let Wang Sheng accompany them.
• Wang Sheng realized the group was protecting Ning Haifeng, who kindly offered to have his guards protect Wang Sheng in the forest.
• Ning Haifeng told Wang Sheng that he and the others had met on the way to the Star Dou Great Forest and that Xiesi had gathered them together.
• Wang Sheng guessed Ning Haifeng belonged to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect from his surname and four Spirit Saint guards, startling the child and his guards.
• Wang Sheng sensed a Title Douluo following the group and considered whether the pursuer was targeting Xiesi for a hundred-thousand-year spirit ring or a Spirit Bone.

Wang Sheng traveled with Ning Haifeng, his guards, and Xiesi into the Star Dou Great Forest, where he realized Xiesi had inexplicably influenced the group. After a night watch began, two people were killed in seemingly impossible attacks, and Wang Sheng was left unsure how Xiesi had managed the second murder while under his constant watch.

• Wang Sheng questioned why Ning Haifeng had brought the young Xiesi into the forest to hunt a soul ring, and Ning Haifeng and his guards realized they had been inexplicably persuaded to come.
• Wang Sheng suspected Xiesi was a human-form spirit-type soul beast and told the guards to take turns watching over Ning Haifeng.
• During the night, an evil aura spread through the camp, and a scream led everyone to find a corpse with its heart missing.
• Xiesi claimed a soul beast was responsible, and Wang Sheng noticed a faint scent of blood on him but kept his suspicion to himself.
• A second person was killed in front of the alerted group, despite Wang Sheng keeping his eyes on Xiesi.

Wang Sheng investigated the mysterious chest wounds and realized the victims may have killed themselves, while Xiesi saw blood-red eyes that froze everyone but Wang Sheng. The chapter left Wang Sheng facing an unexplained power that could stop others’ bodies and thoughts.

• A young woman was killed by another sudden wound to the chest, and the old man ordered everyone to form a back-to-back circle.
• Another person died inside the circle, and the man standing beside him denied attacking him; Old Li and Xiao Zhang confirmed he had not moved.
• Wang Sheng pointed Ning Haifeng to the victim’s right hand, whose blood suggested he had pressed it against his own wound, and Wang Sheng found the same sign on the earlier victims.
• Xiesi watched Wang Sheng and saw his eyes flash red as he puzzled over how the killer could strike unseen.
• Blood-red eyes appeared before Xiesi, and he found that everyone except him was motionless as his right hand rose without his control.
• Wang Sheng recognized the effect as a kind of relative stillness and wondered why the power was killing people one by one instead of all at once.

Wang Sheng used his Five Senses illusion to defeat Xiesi, whose soul skill had been forcing Wang Sheng’s hand toward his chest. He revealed that Xiesi was a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast in human form and proved that he was a Title Douluo, leaving the team terrified and stunned.

• Wang Sheng trapped Xiesi in an illusion of suffocating, burning flames until Xiesi lost consciousness.
• Xiesi woke among the team, and Wang Sheng admitted that he had hurt him while warning Xiesi’s companion not to threaten him.
• Wang Sheng revealed that he had seen through Xiesi’s identity as a soul beast in human form and accused him of leaving the Star Dou Great Forest before reaching Title Douluo rank.
• Wang Sheng released his Blazing Blade Martial Soul and displayed nine soul rings, including one red ring, revealing himself as a Title Douluo.
• The team recognized Wang Sheng, and the woman who had pointed at him turned pale.

Wang Sheng defeated Xiesi, took the map to the Beast God Temple, and set off to save Meier. Before he could leave, Xiesi forcibly sacrificed himself to Wang Sheng, occupying the Ninth Soul Ring slot he had reserved for Bo Saixi’s second God-Bestowed Soul Ring.

• Wang Sheng destroyed Xiesi’s eyes and took his External Spirit Bones, then demanded the location of the Beast God Temple.
• Xiesi revealed that a map in his bundle marked the temple’s exact location, and Wang Sheng took it and promised to spare him.
• Wang Sheng headed deeper into the Star Dou Great Forest to save Meier, ignoring the crowd’s greed for Xiesi’s Spirit Bone.
• Xiesi revealed that the eyes were the Evil God Eyes and forcibly sacrificed himself and the eyes to Wang Sheng.
• Wang Sheng realized Xiesi’s soul ring had taken the Ninth Soul Ring slot he had reserved for Bo Saixi’s second God-Bestowed Soul Ring.

After Xiesi sacrificed himself, Wang Sheng gained an Evil God Eye martial soul with four orange-gold soul rings and a Soul Spirit that called him “Papa.” He continued into the Star Dou Great Forest, where he encountered two poisonous foxes.

• Wang Sheng realized Xiesi’s sacrifice had granted him an Evil God Eye martial soul with four soul rings, and a childlike Soul Spirit emerged and called him “Papa.”
• Wang Sheng tested the new soul rings’ four skills, but the Soul Spirit could only keep calling him “Daddy.”
• Ning Haifeng and the other witnesses debated Wang Sheng’s new martial soul and marveled at the unknown Soul Spirit.
• Wang Sheng followed the map across a river and recognized the area as a fox den because fox-shaped soul beasts were unusually common there.
• Two enormous, poison-clawed foxes attacked Wang Sheng, and he blasted them backward with Air-Splitting Palm.

Wang Sheng entered the fox clan’s territory while searching for the Beast God Temple and reunited with Hu Xiang, a fox he had saved before. When Black Fox threatened him, Wang Sheng revealed his overwhelming power, killed Black Fox, and left Silver Fox and the other foxes terrified.

• Hu Xiang recognized Wang Sheng as the human who had saved it before and asked whether he had found the Beast God Temple.
• Silver Fox arrived with the foxes, sensed both Mei Hu’s aura and an evil aura on Wang Sheng, and ordered him to leave the territory.
• Black Fox demanded Wang Sheng’s death, but Wang Sheng released his martial soul and eight soul rings, frightening the foxes.
• Wang Sheng stepped on Black Fox and crushed it to death, then deduced that it had belonged to the Beast God Temple.

After Black Fox’s death, Wang Sheng absorbed its soul aura and learned that his Evil Eye Soul-Devouring Beast martial soul could grow stronger by consuming souls, though doing so risked stirring bloodlust. Silver Fox secretly maneuvered Wang Sheng toward the Beast God Temple’s enemies, while Wang Sheng planned to use the response to weaken the temple.

• Black Fox’s remains became blood-red aura that pursued Wang Sheng, and Silver Fox explained that it would strengthen Wang Sheng through the Evil Eye Soul-Devouring Beast’s soul-consuming ability.
• Wang Sheng let the aura enter his eyes, gained spiritual power, and suppressed a sudden urge to slaughter those around him.
• Silver Fox revealed that the Evil Eye Soul-Devouring Beast had once been the Star Dou Great Forest’s third emperor before Divine Wind killed it and kept its son captive.
• Silver Fox warned Wang Sheng that consuming souls could affect his mind, then said he would report Black Fox’s death to the Beast God Temple; Wang Sheng welcomed the report and planned to kill whoever came.
• After Wang Sheng left, Silver Fox sent a bird to Tiger King Yinyue and plotted to use Wang Sheng to punish those who had oppressed the fox clan.

Wang Sheng was ambushed by three powerful soul beasts, but he revealed his Title Douluo strength and defeated them with overwhelming force. He killed the fleeing Eagle Lion and faced the remaining attackers.

• Wang Sheng left the fox clan's territory as Eagle Lion, the Three-Headed Scarlet Demon Dog, and the Dragon Scale Sky-Supporting Bull tracked him.
• Wang Sheng activated his Fire God Armor and Flame Wings, drying and scorching the forest around him as he confronted the Dragon Scale Sky-Supporting Bull.
• Wang Sheng revealed his nine soul rings and used Ape King Roar together with Buddhist Lion's Roar to overwhelm the bull's sound attack and knock it to the ground.
• Eagle Lion fled after seeing Wang Sheng's strength, but Wang Sheng struck it down with his Ninth Soul Ring Skill, Fire God Slash.
