Yang Jian

Biodata

Power Progression

Background

Yang Jian was originally an overworked corporate employee on Blue Star who died suddenly and reincarnated into the Break Clan as Yang Wudi's grandson. His parents had died during Spirit Hall's assault on the clan, which followed the Clear Sky Sect's seclusion and the abandonment of its affiliated clans. He grows up carrying both the Break Clan's grievance against the Clear Sky Sect and its blood feud with Spirit Hall. 1

At age six, he awakens the Three-Pointed Double-Edged Spear instead of the clan's inherited Soul-Breaker Spear. The weapon compels the surrounding Soul-Breaker Spears to submit, including Yang Wudi's martial soul. He then awakens the Heavenly Eye as a second martial soul, becoming a twin-martial-soul possessor. 1 2

Yang Wudi appoints him Young Clan Leader on the day of his awakening. Yang Jian vows to avenge his parents, erase the clan's humiliation, and restore the Break Clan's former glory. 2

After the Four Single-Attribute Clans unite around the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, Yang Jian supports the formation of the Extreme Alliance and recruits the Ye Clan into the emerging faction. 160 209

By his return from Slaughter City and the Star Dou Great Forest, he is recognized as the Extreme Alliance's Young Alliance Leader. He proposes a half-year preparation period for retaliation against the Clear Sky Sect and Spirit Hall, while also introducing Soul Tool technology from the Sun Moon Continent to strengthen the alliance. 325 353

Appearance

Yang Jian is described as a handsome youth with delicate features, black eyes, and a calm, unusually mature bearing. A divine vertical mark—the Heavenly Eye—rests between his brows. 1 2 19

• His eyes are black and deep, frequently noted for their steadiness. 1
• He has a straight posture and remains composed even under public scrutiny. 1
• As a youth, he wears long hair tied with a jade hairpin and favors refined robes such as moon-white or cloud-colored garments. 90 136
• In combat, golden Soul Power and dark or black Soul Rings often surround him. 114 143
• When activating Heavenly Law, Earthly Form, his hair turns blood-red and his body expands into a thousand-zhang giant form, while a platinum-white Soul Ring hangs behind him like a full moon. 305
• After receiving golden dragon blood, his skin regains an exceptionally fair appearance, and his blood becomes golden-red with seven-colored radiance. 322
• As a Titled Douluo, his primary martial soul displays six black rings, one blood-red ring, one black-gold ring, and one purple-gold ring. 365

Personality

Yang Jian is calm, deliberate, and difficult to provoke. Even as a child, he shows patience during the failed search for a compatible first ring, treating his martial soul's repeated rejection of spirit rings without impatience. 6

He is highly self-demanding. After Yang Wudi identifies that his spear style lacks killing intent born of life-and-death conflict, Yang Jian deliberately accepts the most dangerous available mission at the City Lord Hall to sharpen himself. 68 69

Despite his overwhelming strength, he distinguishes between hostility and murderous intent. He spares Flender because Flender had attempted to restrain him rather than kill him. 124 He is also protective and generous toward those he accepts, providing Zhu Zhuqing with the Ice Muscle Jade Immortal Herb and personally helping her acquire a soul ring. 173 174 175

Yang Jian remains composed even before beings far above his apparent realm. He refuses to worship the First-Class Deity known as the Beast God, negotiates for favorable terms instead, and later faces Di Tian without holding back his strongest techniques. 227 228 309

His generosity extends to faction-building: he distributes three valuable ten-thousand-year Soul Bones to Tai Tan, Bai He, and Niu Gao, treating their advancement as a shared benefit rather than a transaction. 210 211

He values controllable surroundings over comfort. In Slaughter City, he keeps a modest, defensible room meticulously clean and steadily refines his killing aura despite the violence outside. 260

Yang Jian repays kindness but also insists on settling grievances. His earlier mercy does not prevent him from ordering the Golden Iron Triangle's execution after their renewed opposition. When Gu Rong injures members of the Extreme Alliance, he refuses to wait for another attack and takes the confrontation directly to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. 323 352 361

He also demonstrates technological and strategic foresight. Rather than dismissing Soul Tools as inferior external objects, he recognizes their potential to transform warfare and seeks to develop them before the rest of Douluo Continent appreciates their importance. 353

Abilities & Skills

Twin Martial Souls

Yang Jian possesses two martial souls: the Three-Pointed Double-Edged Spear and the Heavenly Eye. His dual awakening is kept as the Break Clan's highest secret during his early years. 2 3

• The spear possesses its own will and rejects unsuitable spirit rings. 5 6
• At awakening, it forces the Break Clan's Soul-Breaker Spears to bow in submission. 1
• The Heavenly Eye is associated with perception, mental pressure, and devastating gaze-based attacks. 47 172 175
• Before receiving any Soul Ring, the Heavenly Eye alone grants spiritual power comparable to a quasi-Title Douluo. 293
• Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's million-year Soul Ring later manifests through the Heavenly Eye as a platinum-white ring. 305
• The Heavenly Eye gains a second ring from the 700,000-year Evil-Eyed Tyrant Ruler. 325 327
• By the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect confrontation, his spear has nine rings: six black, one red, one black-gold, and one purple-gold. 365

Heavenly Eye

The Heavenly Eye provides extraordinary sensory abilities that grow through absorbed treasures and spiritual herbs.

• Perceives targets within roughly 1,000 meters. 47
• Gains night vision after absorbing a treasure orb from the Bi-Wing Bird. 52
• Breaks through Ye Nishang's Phantom Begonia spiritual domain and can launch high-speed spiritual attacks through its golden gaze. 62
• After consuming the Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew, can see through solid objects and observe Soul Power circulation. 130 131
• Detects Yang Wudi's hidden injury and identifies a more efficient Soul Power route for him. 130 131
• Defeats the Ghost Shadow Mantis with a single glance. 175
• Interrupts the martial soul fusion skill of Yu Xiaogang, Flender, and Liu Erlong with a single gaze. 172
• Kills the Darkgold Three-Headed Bat King with the Heavenly Eye, though the attack consumes a substantial amount of Soul Power. 284
• Its feedback enhances his ordinary eyesight and mental perception even when the second martial soul is inactive, allowing him to follow Tang San's concealed movements clearly. 164
• Sky Dream Ice Silkworm identifies a higher-order power within the eye that is neither ordinary Soul Power nor simple spiritual power. 293
• Its augmentation gives Yang Jian exceptionally precise control over his Soul Power. 309
• When the million-year platinum ring and 700,000-year gray-gold ring are activated together, their combined spiritual power exceeds that of a Level 99 Peerless Douluo. 327

Spear Arts

Yang Jian continually refines self-created spear techniques through combat and insight.

• Primordial Spear Art, First Form — Follow the Waves — A decisive spear strike used to split the 20,000-year Bi-Wing Bird in half and shatter Liu Erlong's Martial Soul Avatar. 47 171
• Flying Star — His second spear form; can be used as a thrust or a thrown golden-meteor attack. Its destructive aftermath in the Star Dou Great Forest draws the attention of Xue Qinghe's group. 43 66
• Flying Star instantly kills the Ten-Headed Fierce Yang Serpent by piercing its main neck and detonating Soul Power inside its body. 285
• By infusing spiritual power into the spear, Yang Jian can increase the force of his spear arts approximately threefold. 309
• His spear art initially lacks killing intent; he seeks dangerous missions to develop the life-and-death resolve required to perfect it. 68
• Primordial Spear Art, Third Form — Blood Prison — Developed through the purification of killing intent in Slaughter City; fills the battlefield with intense killing pressure. 261 262 266
• During his fourth-ring hunt, he develops Flying Star after interpreting the Break Clan's understanding of “break” as a form of martial intent rather than merely the name of its inherited weapon. 42 43

Soul Skills

• Terrorclaw Sky-Rending — His second Soul Skill. It greatly increases his power and attack capability while granting complete armor penetration. 47 284
• Rapid Lightning Speed — His third Soul Skill. It dramatically enhances Yang Jian's movement and reaction speed. 284
• Golden Flame Soul Skill — Acquired from the Crimson Flame Gold Crystal Tiger. It doubles his destructive force and coats his body and spear in golden flames capable of annihilating a small mountain peak. 152 153
• Space Leap — A space-attribute technique derived from the Void-Mark Spirit Sable ring, allowing Yang Jian to cross short distances through spatial rifts. 225 232

Terrorclaw Sky-Rending specifically doubles strength and attack power and adds a one-hundred-percent armor-piercing effect. Rapid Lightning Speed doubles his overall speed and allows him to ignore collision volume. 47 144

Following his advancement to level 89 and the enhancement from Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's million-year ring, Space Leap can cross up to 10,000 meters at full power, provided his spiritual power can reach the destination. 324

Domains

• Domination Domain — His first Soul Skill; suppresses opponents' movement and can restrain a Soul Saint such as Zhao Wuji. 81 114
• No-Fly Domain — His fourth Soul Skill; grounds aerial opponents and removes Liu Erlong's advantage in dragon form. 81 171
• Beast God Domain — Obtained after his encounter with the Beast God and his return to the Extreme Alliance. 228 232
• Divine Slaughter's Domain — Suppresses and weakens opponents while enhancing Yang Jian's abilities. Its enhancement reaches twenty percent after his Slaughter City trials. 287

Domination Domain also increases all of Yang Jian's attributes by fifty percent, doubles his attack and defense, and completely suppresses his sensation of pain. 47 144

Self-Created Soul Skills

• Blood Prison — A killing-intent-based self-created Soul Skill developed in Slaughter City. Its power is sufficient that the Slaughter King permits Yang Jian to exploit the city's battle rules rather than confront it directly. 274
• Yang Jian can convert his killing intent into innumerable scarlet spears, creating a spear forest that spans a thousand li. 312
• Wing Chun and Eight Cutting Blades — Martial arts adapted for the Speed Clan and taught to Bai Chenxiang. Their integration with Soul Power is recognized as self-created Soul Skills, helping overcome the clan's lack of offensive capability. 27 28 30
• Baji Fist and Six Harmonies Great Spear — Powerful fist and spear methods that he provides to Yang Wudi for the Break Clan's use. 29 30

Heavenly Law, Earthly Form

Yang Jian's seventh-ring transformation is not a conventional Martial Soul Avatar. Triggered by the simultaneous resonance of his seventh blood-red Soul Ring and the Heavenly Eye's platinum-white million-year Soul Ring, it expands his true physical body to a thousand zhang and proportionally enlarges his Three-Pointed Double-Edged Spear. 305

• The form combines characteristics of a Martial Soul Avatar and a soul beast's true-form transformation while surpassing both conventional systems. 305
• Its immense physical scale alone can devastate the battlefield with a single step. 309
• During the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King battle, the transformation raises his aura to the level of a Level 99 Peerless Douluo despite his cultivation being around level 90. 326 327
• At level 96, the form grants Level 99 Limit Douluo-equivalent combat strength. A single palm strike shatters the transformed martial souls of Chen Xin and Gu Rong despite Ning Fengzhi's full enhancement. 365

Space-Attribute Power

After absorbing the 80,000-year Void-Mark Spirit Sable ring, Yang Jian acquires space-attribute power.

• Travels through space at high speed. 225
• The Void-Mark Spirit Sable was selected by the Three-Pointed Double-Edged Spear as a suitable sixth-ring target. 220 225
• Initially uses his spear to cut open spatial fissures and can move a hundred meters through them. 229
• At level 89, he no longer requires the spear to open a rift; his spiritual power alone can tear through spatial barriers. 324
• The million-year Heavenly Eye ring dramatically extends the range of his spatial movement, enabling leaps of up to 10,000 meters. 324
• He later demonstrates a roughly kilometer-long spatial leap before Bai He while traveling to confront the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. 362

Poison Resistance and Bodily Control

Yang Jian displays exceptional resistance to poison and control over his body.

• Survives a needle containing ten-thousand-year Golden Armored Scorpion Poison after it misses his heart by half an inch. 201
• Is described as immune to poisons. 157 201
• Uses the poisoned needle against Hu Xiaotian, killing him instantly through the combined effects of Golden Armored Scorpion Poison and Jade Phosphorous Serpent Poison. 201
• After absorbing the Infernal Delicate Apricot and Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass, his body becomes immune to water, fire, and poisons, allowing him to move safely among the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well's poisonous plants. 135
• Before completing his Soul Saint advancement, his physical strength is already sufficient to withstand the impact associated with a hundred-thousand-year Soul Beast, astonishing Sky Dream Ice Silkworm. 294
• Golden dragon blood visibly repairs his devastated body, strengthens his heartbeat, and makes his meridians broader and tougher. 322
• As a Titled Douluo, he can stand in midair through Sky Crossing without activating a Soul Ring. 347

Soul Consciousness and Restoration

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm retains its soul consciousness within Yang Jian and possesses the ability to awaken lingering consciousnesses preserved in Soul Rings. Through this ability, the souls of Xiaotian's parents are awakened from Yang Jian's first and seventh rings. Their appearances remain spiritual rather than restored physical lives, and Xiaotian's father's consciousness returns to the seventh ring after exhausting its spiritual power. 323 324

Yang Jian promises to rebuild Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's physical body if he becomes a god. 324

Strategic and Technological Knowledge

Yang Jian uses knowledge from his previous life to improve both martial training and the Extreme Alliance's long-term capabilities.

• Demonstrates how speed can produce offensive power by having Bai He use a Soul Power-coated withered leaf to cut a stone table. 29
• Recovers the Sun Moon Empire's Soul Tool design blueprints and brings them to the Extreme Alliance. 325 352
• Explains that Soul Tool forging has survived on the Sun Moon Continent, where Soul Engineers use technology unfamiliar to contemporary Douluo Continent. 353
• Warns against dismissing Soul Tools and seeks to begin their development before traditional Soul Masters recognize their military importance. 353
• Recruits skilled blacksmiths through access to the blueprints, using Lou Gao's interest in unprecedented forging methods rather than wealth or status as the principal inducement. 353 354 361

Equipment / Items

• Three-Pointed Double-Edged Spear — His primary martial soul and weapon; possesses spiritual awareness and selects compatible spirit beasts. 2 5 6
• Treasure orb from the Bi-Wing Bird — Integrates into his Heavenly Eye and grants night vision. 52
• Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew — Spiritual herb that enhances the Heavenly Eye's perception. 130
• Black Tiger Sect token — Recovered from the Black Wind Stronghold's hidden cave. 88
• Beast God's mark — Allows him to enter and leave the Beast God's secret realm at will. 228

• Storage Soul Tool — Worn at his waist and used to carry tokens, herbs, Soul Bones, equipment, and later Soul Tool blueprints. 64 87 135 205 352
• Lighting Soul Tool — A palm-sized metal disc with an embedded crystal, used while exploring Black Wind Stronghold's hidden treasury. 87
• Soul Tool design blueprints — Taken from the Sun Moon Empire's imperial palace and entrusted to the Extreme Alliance's craftsmen for research and production. Three selected designs are carried to Gengxin City to attract Lou Gao. 325 353 354
• Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's treasure offering — Roughly two-thirds of the sect's centuries-old Treasure Vault, surrendered after Yang Jian defeats its guardians. 366

Relationships

• Yang Wudi — Grandfather, patriarch, mentor, and the person who names Yang Jian heir to the Break Clan. Their relationship is marked by mutual trust and a shared commitment to the clan's revival. 1 2 31 137 Yang Jian provides the Ink Jade Divine Bamboo that evolves Yang Wudi's martial soul, and Yang Wudi later supports his revenge plans while reminding him not to neglect his personal relationships. 135 136 325 354
• Xiaotian — Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff companion bound to Yang Jian through an equal contract. They hunt, fight, and grow together; Xiaotian later enters the Ancient Tower to cultivate under the Beast God's guidance. 17 31 137 219 232 After Di Tian's death, Xiaotian remains in the secret realm to pursue the Beast God's inheritance and become strong enough to help Yang Jian against the Silver Dragon King. 323 324
• Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff — Xiaotian's mother; sacrifices herself to give Yang Jian his first ten-thousand-year Soul Ring. 13 21 Her lingering soul consciousness is later awakened through Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's special ability. 324
• Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff King — Xiaotian's father; assists Yang Jian and Xiaotian in the Star Dou Great Forest and saves Yang Jian from Tang Hao, severing Tang Hao's arm. 220 147 149 154 He later advances to a hundred-thousand-year Soul Beast, shields Yang Jian from Di Tian's attack, and becomes the source of Yang Jian's seventh blood-red ring. Yang Jian avenges him by killing Di Tian, and his soul consciousness is subsequently awakened within that ring. 289 302 323 324
• Bai Chenxiang — Initially becomes interested in Yang Jian after he rescues her from Xiaotian; later supports his mid-battle epiphany. Their relationship grows increasingly intimate, and Yang Jian visits her to bid farewell before undertaking his long journey of cultivation. 19 23 242 She is one of the four women who affectionately welcome him back and with whom he spends time before departing for Gengxin City. 325 354
• Tailong — Rival who challenges Yang Jian out of jealousy; later contributes pressure during Yang Jian's epiphany. 19 23
• Zhu Zhuqing — Receives protection, an immortal herb, and help obtaining her third Soul Ring from Yang Jian; develops strong trust and affection toward him. 173 174 175 She earlier expresses her feelings by kissing his cheek and later joins Bai Chenxiang, Dugu Yan, and Ye Lingling in his affectionate reunions. 42 325 354
• Ye Nishang and Ye Lingling — Yang Jian saves both women and reveals his twin martial souls to them under an oath of secrecy. He later recruits the Ye Clan and seeks to preserve the potential of the Nine-Heart Begonia martial soul. 63 160 185 Ye Lingling regards him as a very good person and becomes one of the four women closely attached to him. 217 325 354
• Dugu Bo — Initially a dangerous figure Yang Jian intends to subdue; later approaches Yang Jian respectfully and requests help for Dugu Yan. 157 201 232 He hopes to bring Yang Jian and Dugu Yan together, considering Yang Jian far superior to the other young men she knows. 216 217
• Dugu Yan — Dugu Bo's granddaughter. Yang Jian agrees to aid her spirit hunt, and she comes to trust him after her inherited poison ceases to endanger her. 232 234 Her initial anger following detoxification softens as she observes his diligent cultivation. She later takes the lead in the four women's affectionate farewell kisses after his return. 216 217 325
• Beast God — First-Class Deity who recognizes Yang Jian's equal contract with a Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff and grants him access to a secret realm. 227 228
• Sky Dream Ice Silkworm — Million-year spiritual and ice-attribute soul beast that recognizes the terrifying potential of Yang Jian's Heavenly Eye. Its million-year Soul Ring ultimately manifests through the Heavenly Eye. 293 305 Its soul consciousness remains within him, apologizes for its forced sacrifice, and helps awaken the souls of Xiaotian's parents. Yang Jian promises it a restored body if he attains godhood. 324
• Di Tian — The Beast God and leader of the ferocious soul beasts. He regards Yang Jian's growth as a threat to soul beasts, yet acknowledges that Yang Jian's talent and combat strength surpass those of historical human prodigies. 309 314 Yang Jian ultimately kills him in revenge for Xiaotian's father and absorbs his Soul Ring as his eighth primary ring. 322 323
• Gu Yuena / Silver Dragon King — Attempts to kill Yang Jian while he absorbs Di Tian's ring, seeking revenge for Di Tian. The Asura God's incarnation intervenes and wounds her, forcing her to retreat. She retains a grudge against Yang Jian, who considers her long recovery period insufficient to threaten his future advancement. 322 323
• Asura God — Protects Yang Jian through a blood-energy incarnation during Gu Yuena's attack. He values Yang Jian as a potential successor, although Yang Jian lacks affinity for his godhood, and leaves him with a substantial bodily enhancement through golden dragon blood. 322
• Tai Tan — Strength Clan patriarch, Divine Artisan, and trusted elder. Yang Jian gives him a Soul Bone, then involves him in Soul Tool production and Lou Gao's recruitment. Tai Tan remains in Gengxin City to research the designs when Yang Jian leaves to confront the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. 210 211 353 354 361
• Bai He — Speed Clan patriarch and Bai Chenxiang's grandfather. Yang Jian supplies martial arts that address his clan's offensive weakness. Bai He later brings urgent news of Gu Rong's attack and witnesses Yang Jian's spatial travel firsthand. 28 29 30 361 362
• Lou Gao — Divine Artisan whom Yang Jian recruits through revolutionary Soul Tool blueprints. He becomes deeply absorbed in their study and works with Tai Tan on the alliance's technological development. 353 354 361
• Bo Saixi — Sea God Island's High Priest, whose approaching Sea God-like aura Yang Jian recognizes after reaching level 96. 330
• Zhao Wuji — Repeated opponent associated with Shrek Academy. During their later confrontation, Yang Jian realizes Zhao Wuji had supplied Tang Hao with his whereabouts before Tang Hao's attack; the encounter ends with Zhao Wuji's death. 114 347
• Flender, Yu Xiaogang, and Liu Erlong — The Golden Iron Triangle, whom Yang Jian defeats and initially leaves alive. After their renewed opposition and another failed fusion attack, he orders them thrown into the Jade Phosphorus Seven-Absolute Flower Sea, where they are killed. 124 171 172 352
• Xiao Wu — Shrek-associated hundred-thousand-year Soul Beast in human form whom Yang Jian captures. He reveals her true identity to the clan chiefs and places her in the Extreme Alliance's custody. 352
• Ning Fengzhi, Chen Xin, and Gu Rong — Leaders and guardians of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. After Gu Rong injures alliance members and demands compensation, Yang Jian attacks the sect, defeats both enhanced guardians, and forces Ning Fengzhi to surrender most of its treasure reserves. 361 364 365 366

Story Role / Major Arcs

Break Clan Awakening

Yang Jian's twin-martial-soul awakening transforms him from a source of concern into the Break Clan's greatest hope. He is named Young Clan Leader and begins his cultivation with innate full soul power. 2 3

First Soul Ring Hunt

His spear rejects numerous rings before guiding Yang Jian and Yang Wudi to the Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff. The beast's sacrifice gives him a ten-thousand-year first ring and an unprecedented eight-level increase. 5 6 13

Black Wind Stronghold Mission

Seeking real killing intent, Yang Jian accepts the City Lord Hall's Grade A No. 1 mission against Black Wind Stronghold. He infiltrates the bandits' territory, reveals four ten-thousand-year rings, and eradicates the threat. 68 69 76 80 99

Shrek and Blue Tyrant Academy Conflict

Yang Jian defeats Tang San's group through Xiaotian, counters Zhao Wuji's assault, and later overwhelms Liu Erlong, Flender, and Yu Xiaogang. He shatters Liu Erlong's Martial Soul Avatar and stops the trio's fusion skill with the Heavenly Eye. 111 114 171 172

Fifth Ring Hunt

At level 50, Yang Jian hunts the approximately 50,000-year Crimson Flame Gold Crystal Tiger with Xiaotian and a Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff ally. Its ring raises him to level 55 and grants a golden-flame Soul Skill powerful enough to split a small mountain peak. 151 152

Void-Mark Spirit Sable and Beast God Realm

Yang Jian pursues the rare space-attribute Void-Mark Spirit Sable, absorbs its 80,000-year ring, and advances from level 60 to 65. His new spatial power leads him to an ancient tower and the Beast God's secret realm, where he secures the Beast God Domain. 220 225 227 228 232

Slaughter City Trials

Yang Jian enters Slaughter City and achieves one hundred victories. His self-created Blood Prison is so overwhelming that the Slaughter King tacitly permits him to exploit the city's rules, recognizing that Yang Jian is already qualified to become a Slaughter God. 274

During the subsequent trial, Yang Jian kills the Darkgold Three-Headed Bat King with the Heavenly Eye and instantly slays the Ten-Headed Fierce Yang Serpent with Flying Star. He further develops Divine Slaughter's Domain to a twenty-percent enhancement. 284 285 287

His time in the city also produces the third form of the Primordial Spear Art. After a year of increasingly difficult matches and seventy-two victories, he refines and fuses his killing intent with Soul Power, eventually unleashing Blood Prison. 261 262 266

Soul Saint Breakthrough and Di Tian Conflict

At level 70, Yang Jian encounters Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, whose observations reveal that the unringed Heavenly Eye already possesses quasi-Title-Douluo spiritual power. 293

After obtaining his seventh Soul Ring, Yang Jian manifests Heavenly Law, Earthly Form and confronts Di Tian in the Star Dou Great Forest. His spiritual-power-infused Follow the Waves makes Di Tian feel threatened, forcing the Beast God to answer with increasingly powerful techniques, including Myriad Dragon Flame and the complete Nine-Colored Dragon God's Claw. 305 309 312 314

Xiaotian's father protects Yang Jian during his absorption of Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's power and ultimately becomes the source of his seventh blood-red ring. Yang Jian kills Di Tian to avenge him and begins absorbing Di Tian's ring. Gu Yuena attacks during this vulnerable period, but an incarnation of the Asura God intervenes and forces her retreat. Golden dragon blood then repairs and strengthens Yang Jian's body. 302 322 323

Completing Di Tian's ring raises Yang Jian from level 80 to 89. He returns to the Beast God's secret realm and waits for Xiaotian to emerge. Sky Dream Ice Silkworm helps awaken the lingering souls of Xiaotian's parents, allowing a spiritual reunion. Xiaotian chooses to remain and pursue the Beast God's inheritance, while Yang Jian returns to the Extreme Alliance. 323 324

Half-Year Preparation and Sun Moon Continent

Yang Jian returns to the Extreme Alliance after a year and a half, startling its elders with his level-89 cultivation. He reunites with Bai Chenxiang, Zhu Zhuqing, Dugu Yan, and Ye Lingling, then proposes retaliation against the Clear Sky Sect and a confrontation with Spirit Hall during the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament in half a year. The alliance intensifies its cultivation and pill production in preparation. 324 325

During this period, Yang Jian crosses the ocean to the Sun Moon Continent. He kills the Evil-Eyed Tyrant Ruler in the Evil Demon Forest and adds its ring to the Heavenly Eye. Before departing, he takes the Soul Tool design blueprints stored in the Sun Moon Empire's imperial palace. 325

Deep Sea Demonic Whale King and Titled Douluo Breakthrough

While traveling over the ocean, Yang Jian encounters the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King. He avoids its initial attack, activates Heavenly Law, Earthly Form, and wounds its tail with his enlarged spear. He then brings the Heavenly Eye's million-year platinum ring and 700,000-year gray-gold ring to bear, combining spiritual power beyond that of a Level 99 Peerless Douluo. 326 327

After defeating the whale, he absorbs its purple-gold ring as the ninth ring of his primary martial soul. The resulting energy surge raises him six levels to level 96. He tests his strength with a breath capable of piercing the immense corpse and subsequently detects Bo Saixi approaching. 330

Golden Iron Triangle's Destruction and Xiao Wu's Capture

After his Titled Douluo breakthrough, Yang Jian again confronts Shrek's teachers. Zhao Wuji's words reveal his role in directing Tang Hao toward Yang Jian during the earlier hunt, and Zhao Wuji dies in the conflict. 347

Yang Jian captures Xiao Wu and reveals her hundred-thousand-year Soul Beast identity to the Four Single-Attribute Clan chiefs. With the Golden Iron Triangle unconscious after the destruction of its fusion skill, he withdraws his earlier mercy and orders Flender, Yu Xiaogang, and Liu Erlong thrown into the Jade Phosphorus Seven-Absolute Flower Sea. The poisonous flowers dissolve all three. Xiao Wu is taken into alliance custody, while Yang Jian proceeds to the council hall to unveil the blueprints from his journey. 352

Soul Tool Development and Gengxin City

Yang Jian presents several dozen Soul Tool blueprints to the clan chiefs and explains their origin on the Sun Moon Continent. Tai Tan confirms that he can forge them, although their precise arrays demand careful work. Yang Jian proposes attracting Lou Gao through the designs to accelerate research and production. 353

After spending time with Bai Chenxiang, Dugu Yan, Zhu Zhuqing, and Ye Lingling, Yang Jian travels with Tai Tan to Gengxin City. They carry three selected blueprints as an inducement. By the time Bai He arrives with news of an attack on the alliance, Lou Gao has become absorbed in the designs and is working with Tai Tan. 354 361

Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect Confrontation

Bai He reports that Gu Rong has injured alliance members while demanding the Golden Iron Triangle and has threatened to return in three days for compensation. Yang Jian identifies Ning Fengzhi's attempt to draw Shrek's survivors into the sect's camp. Leaving Tai Tan with Lou Gao, he returns toward Heaven Dou City but chooses to confront the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect directly rather than wait at the alliance. 361

At the sect's mountain entrance, he announces a “grand gift” and attacks the mountain beneath its gate with a vast golden-red spear strike. His initial exchange drives back and wounds Chen Xin and Gu Rong. Ning Fengzhi responds with Seven Treasures True Body and all six enhancement abilities, raising the guardians' effective strength before they deploy their ninth Soul Skills. 362 364

Yang Jian reveals his nine primary rings and activates Heavenly Law, Earthly Form. With one palm strike, he shatters both guardians' transformed martial souls and hurls them into the mountainside, also injuring Ning Fengzhi and destroying the sect's glazed tower. The battle concludes within seconds. 365

He then forces Ning Fengzhi to surrender roughly two-thirds of the sect's Treasure Vault as proof of sincerity. News of his solo victory spreads across the continent, and Chen Xin compares his pressure to Qian Daoliu's. The major powers recognize that the prodigy they remembered has become a Titled Douluo before the age of twenty. 366

Retaliation Against the Clear Sky Sect

The Extreme Alliance's planned revenge advances to an assault on the Clear Sky Sect. Tang Xiao and its elders initially dismiss the former affiliated clans as an inferior enemy and frame the confrontation as the first battle of the sect's return. Meanwhile, Xue Qinghe's repeated attempts to gain the alliance's support through personal visits and gifts are rejected, reflecting its increasingly independent political position. 325 372
