Chapter Summaries

Ye Xunfeng questioned Tang Yuhao and Tang Wutong about their past lives, then ordered that they be kept safely in a side courtyard. Meanwhile, Bibi Dong submerged Tang San in a dark-red pool, and the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud briefly shielded him as its light began to fade.

• Ye Xunfeng recognized Tang Yuhao and Tang Wutong as the God of Emotions and Butterfly God, and asked how it felt to become siblings after being lovers.
• Ye Xunfeng ordered the guard to take Tang Yuhao and Tang Wutong to a side courtyard, keep them safe, and prevent them from running away.
• Bibi Dong held Tang San beneath the dark-red liquid while Yu Xiaogang watched helplessly from beside the pool.
• The dark-red liquid awakened Tang San's Blue Silver Grass and disrupted his Mysterious Heaven Skill as it swallowed him.
• The Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud wrapped Tang San in a blue protective film, but its light quickly began to dim.

Tang San endured the dark-red pool’s assault as the Asura God’s power kept his consciousness from being consumed, while Ye Xunfeng prepared to enter seclusion in Spirit City. The chapter left Ye Xunfeng opening a mysterious door inside the secret chamber.

• The Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud protected Tang San for three breaths before the dark-red liquid overwhelmed it and ravaged his body and mind.

• Ye Xunfeng entrusted Spirit Hall’s affairs to Yue Guan and Ghost Douluo before withdrawing into the secret chamber.
• Ye Xunfeng traced purple and green arcs in the chamber, causing a door to appear in the floor’s empty space.

Ye Xunfeng entered the purple door and encountered the Goddess of Life and the God of Destruction, who explained that he would undergo both of their divine trials together. They revealed that the next trial concerned the seven emotions and six desires, and the altar’s shifting colors quickened as the trial approached.

• Ye Xunfeng chose the purple door and entered a realm divided between withering and flourishing, where he touched an enormous tree.
• Ye Xunfeng was transported to an altar as the Goddess of Life and the God of Destruction descended before him.
• The Goddess of Life confirmed that Ye Xunfeng had decided to inherit the divine positions and explained that he must undergo both Godly Trials at once.
• The God of Destruction said the next trial involved the seven emotions and six desires, rather than combat or hunting soul beasts.
• The altar’s purple and green halo began shifting faster, signaling that it was time for Ye Xunfeng to proceed.

Ye Xunfeng resisted an illusion of his mother during the assessment and obtained a head soul bone. Elsewhere, Tang San emerged from the dark red pool as Bibi Dong touched the helpless Yu Xiaogang.

• Ye Xunfeng felt the assessment stripping away his head soul bone and saw an illusion of his mother asking him to come to her.
• Ye Xunfeng recognized the illusion as fake, remembered that his mother was waiting for him to revive her, and refused to follow it.
• Ye Xunfeng waited for the illusion to vanish, then found a warm-white head soul bone floating before him.
• Tang San rose from the dark red pool and came to rest on the stone bank.
• Bibi Dong touched Yu Xiaogang's collarbone while he lay helpless at her feet.

Ye Xunfeng endured the second soul-bone stripping in the Godly Trial grounds and destroyed the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King’s phantom. In Spirit City, Ye Qingxue continued reviewing reports on the expanding empire, while the chapter ended with the night deepening and the work still underway.

• Rakshasa God Bibi Dong noticed Yu Xiaogang’s practiced obedience, withdrew her hand, and then frantically tugged at his clothes as he trembled.

• Ye Qingxue continued reviewing documents in Spirit City as Chrysanthemum Douluo watched the city wall and Ghost Douluo rested in the shadows.

Ye Qingxue received word that Tang San was alive but unstable and told the Grand Pontiff to wait before acting. Meanwhile, Ye Lingchuan, Ye Lingyuan, Ning Rongrong, and Oscar traveled east, and the brothers encountered Evil Spirit Masters along the way.

• A Messenger Deacon told Ye Qingxue that the Grand Pontiff had found Tang San, who was alive but in poor condition, and that Bibi Dong seemed to have done something to him.
• Ye Qingxue told the Grand Pontiff not to act hastily and said her father could deal with the situation after becoming a god.
• Ye Lingchuan, Ye Lingyuan, Ning Rongrong, and Oscar continued their journey east from Spirit City toward the border between the Heaven Dou Empire and the Star Luo Empire.
• Near Qingshi Town, Ye Lingyuan ambushed three Evil Spirit Masters while Ye Lingchuan restrained them with Blue Silver Grass and reinforced a healing Soul Master's shield.
• The brothers later found five Evil Spirit Masters in an abandoned hunter's cabin, and Ye Lingchuan's grass vines bound three of them.

Ye Lingyuan encountered a middle-aged spear wielder at a roadside camp and agreed to exchange moves with him. The man’s increasingly forceful attacks reached their eighteenth strike, which Ye Lingyuan calmly redirected past his ribs.

• Ye Lingchuan and Ye Lingyuan passed a roadside camp marked with a spear flag.
• A middle-aged man noticed Ye Lingyuan’s spear intent and challenged him to exchange moves.
• Ye Lingyuan accepted and faced the man, who summoned his Soul-Breaking Spear.
• The middle-aged man attacked with a series of increasingly fast and tricky strikes, while Ye Lingyuan blocked and redirected them without changing his steady pace.
• The middle-aged man’s eighteenth strike swept toward Ye Lingyuan’s ribs, but Ye Lingyuan pulled it aside with the Atlas Spear.

Ye Lingyuan defeated the middle-aged spearman, and Ye Lingchuan healed his wrist. Ning Rongrong warned Ye Lingchuan that the group belonged to a Clear Sky Sect subordinate clan, so he encircled their camp with vines and confronted them, leaving the middle-aged man admitting their former affiliation.

• Ye Lingyuan disarmed the middle-aged man with a precise strike, and a grass vine caught the falling spear before it hit the ground.
• Ye Lingchuan soothed the man's injured wrist with Soul Power, then followed Ye Lingyuan away from the camp.
• Ning Rongrong stopped Ye Lingchuan and identified the group as Yang Wudi's Soul-Breaking Spear Clan, a Clear Sky Sect subordinate clan, urging him to make them submit or deal with them.
• Ye Lingchuan spread Blue Silver Emperor vines around the camp and told the group he knew they were from the Clear Sky Sect.
• The middle-aged man said they had once belonged to the Clear Sky Sect but now made their living escorting merchant caravans, and challenged Ye Lingchuan to act quickly.

Ye Xunfeng witnessed a memory of Qian Xunji forcing medicine on his pregnant mother as his right leg bone separated. He blocked out the next platform’s scene and reached the fourth platform with his left leg bone recovered.

• Ye Xunfeng arrived on the second platform as the forces began pulling his right leg bone from his body.
• A scene showed Qian Xunji ordering Ye Xunfeng’s pregnant mother to drink medicine and leave Spirit Hall, then forcing the medicine into her mouth.

• Ye Xunfeng passed through the third platform and moved toward the fourth with a pale golden left leg bone floating before him.

Ye Lingchuan received Ye Qingxue’s warning about suspicious new rulers in several border kingdoms and detoured with his companions, taking a spear-wielding man toward the nearest Spirit Hall. In Spirit City, Ye Qingxue inspected the Tang Sect Research Department’s tested Mother-and-Child Soul-Chasing Cannons and ordered enough produced to equip two standard formations within two months.

• Ye Qingchuan read Ye Qingxue’s note warning that unfamiliar people had taken power in several border kingdoms and telling the group to investigate on their return.
• Ye Lingchuan opened a passage through the Blue Silver Emperor vines and told the middle-aged man to accompany them to the nearest Spirit Hall, where he would choose submission or death.
• Ye Lingchuan, Ye Lingyuan, Ning Rongrong, and Oscar traveled east along the road before turning south at a fork.
• Ye Qingxue visited the Tang Sect Research Department, where Snake Lance Douluo reported that testing of the Mother-and-Child Soul-Chasing Cannons had succeeded.

• Ye Qingxue left the Research Department and headed for the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect’s residence in Spirit City.

Ye Qingxue found Ning Fengzhi and Ye Renxin discussing Ye Renxin’s granddaughter’s progress, while Qian Ming received the Angel Nine Trials in the Angel Sanctuary. Far away, Tang San woke in a blood-stained cavern and sensed a voice inside his perception.

• Ye Qingxue arrived at the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and overheard Ning Fengzhi reassure Ye Renxin that his granddaughter’s training with Qian Ming was progressing well.
• Ye Lingchuan slowed on a southern road and glanced toward Ye Lingyuan before continuing.
• Qian Ming stood before the Angel Statue until it activated and revealed the Angel Nine Trials through nine rings of light.
• Tang San awoke on a stone platform in a dark red cavern, felt his meridians painfully scoured, and sensed a voice within his perception.

Tang San received the first trials of both the Sea God and Rakshasa God, then emerged from a sealed chamber to find Bibi Dong waiting beside the dark-red pool. A pillar of golden light struck the pool as the Ninth Soul Skill, Angel's Breath, was invoked.

• Tang San learned that the Sea God's first trial required climbing the steps through the Sea God's Light, while the Rakshasa God's first trial required hunting the tainted and washing evil energy from his meridians.
• Tang San inspected his sealed chamber, found his belongings and the broken Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud still intact, and waited until a crack opened in the exit wall.
• Tang San left the chamber and met Rakshasa God Bibi Dong beside the dark-red pool.
• Bibi Dong told Tang San that both gods' trials would proceed at once and that he could choose which to complete first.
• A shrill whistle sounded, and a pillar of golden light pierced the ceiling and struck the pool as someone called out, "Ninth Soul Skill, Angel's Breath!"

Qian Daoliu purified the underground space and removed Yu Xiaogang, then left Tang San to face his trial alone. Bibi Dong warned Tang San that the pool would refill and told him to return when he was ready.

• Tang San watched Bibi Dong disappear into the passage and silently examined the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud fragment at his waist.

Ye Xunfeng’s six soul bones fused together and returned to his body as a seamless silver-white divine armor. The armor awakened a new power that entered the long-standing clash between his Life Force and the Power of Destruction, separating and reconnecting them.

• Ye Xunfeng watched the dark-red pool churn before leaving the chamber.
• His six soul bones linked together with strands of light, which spread into a silver-white membrane covering them.
• The fused soul bones returned to Ye Xunfeng’s head, torso, arms, and legs, forming armor that fitted his body like a second skin.
• The divine armor released a new power that flowed into Ye Xunfeng and reached his Life Force and the Power of Destruction.
• The silver power passed between the two forces, separating their opposing edges and reconnecting them.

Ye Xunfeng’s divine armor turned silver-white as the Thirty-Six-Winged Angel’s light spread from Spirit City across the Haagen-Dazs Kingdom, renewing people and strengthening their martial souls and tools. The light receded after reaching the whole kingdom, while Spirit City’s people celebrated the miracle and praised the Pope.

• Ye Xunfeng felt his Soul Power circulate freely as silver-white light covered his divine armor.
• The Thirty-Six-Winged Angel’s radiance spread across Spirit City, awakening and improving people’s martial souls, bodies, and belongings.

• The silver-white light covered the entire kingdom, then gradually withdrew after nourishing its people.
• Spirit City’s residents cried out, “Long live the Pope!” as the angel projection shattered into motes and faded away.

Ye Xunfeng watched the holy light fade after his newly fused power stabilized, then returned to the Pope Palace. Meanwhile, Heaven Dou and Star Luo exchanged secret letters and considered how to resist Spirit Hall, and Ghost Douluo brought Ye Xunfeng a copied document.

• Ye Xunfeng sensed that his newly fused power had fully stabilized and returned to the main hall of Pope Palace.
• Emperor Xue Ye discussed a secret letter with a shadowed adviser and began drafting a reply to Star Luo.
• The Star Luo Emperor assessed Heaven Dou’s forces and Spirit Hall’s growing reach, then ordered a reply with supplementary terms and a rough troop-deployment map.
• Ye Xunfeng idly read an atlas in the rear hall of Pope Palace as Ghost Douluo silently placed a copied document on the table.

Ye Xunfeng monitored secret negotiations between Heaven Dou and Star Luo, convinced their preparations would ultimately fail. After Qian Daoliu returned with Yu Xiaogang, Ye Xunfeng sent him to the lowest dungeon level to face Scar.

• Ghost Douluo reported that Heaven Dou and Star Luo exchanged secret letters at an abandoned border station, including a sketch of military forces.
• Ye Xunfeng learned that the nations had settled preliminary intentions and begun preparing border troop movements, but let them continue negotiating.

• Ye Xunfeng ordered the guards to take Yu Xiaogang to the lowest dungeon level and hand him over to Scar.
• Qian Daoliu told Ye Xunfeng that bringing Yu Xiaogang back to Spirit City would prevent trouble and save them a later trip.
• That night, Ye Xunfeng sat by the window as a faint howl of agony came from the dungeon.

Ye Xunfeng transformed the silver-white kitten into a nine-tailed creature by giving it a wisp of silver-white power. Meanwhile, Shrek Academy in Heaven Dou City grew more imposing and attracted wealthy nobles, while commoner children had little reason to pay its high fees.

• Ye Xunfeng pressed silver-white light into the kitten's brow, triggering its transformation and revealing nine silver tails.
• The transformed kitten calmly showed gratitude to Ye Xunfeng before returning to the windowsill.
• Shrek Academy renovated its gates, grounds, training equipment, classrooms, and dormitories.
• Nobles in Heaven Dou City sent their children to Shrek Academy after hearing of Tang San's talent and arena performances.
• Commoner children rarely sought admission because Shrek charged high fees while Spirit Hall provided free schooling across the provinces.

Ye Xunfeng’s Spirit Hall school system spread across the continent, educating common-born children and preparing them for Soul Tool work and study. He then discussed with Ye Qingxue whether Ye Lingyuan or Xiao Chuan could become Pope, while hoping his child would ascend through laws instead of faith.

• Ye Xunfeng defended free education for ordinary children, and Spirit Hall distributed the finalized school plans across the realm.

• Ye Xunfeng watched the changes in the courtyard before Ye Qingxue proposed making Ye Lingyuan Pope to gather the Power of Faith.
• Ye Xunfeng and Ye Qingxue agreed that Ye Lingyuan might not sit still as Pope, and Ye Xunfeng said he hoped his child would become a god through laws of slaughter and elements.

Ye Xunfeng purified Slaughter City and the surrounding cursed wasteland with his ninth soul skill, then found and killed Rakshasa God Bibi Dong in a hidden chamber. He left after her body dissolved into silver-white motes.

• Ye Xunfeng entered Slaughter City and followed the foul aura through Hell Road to a chamber containing a dark red pool and a concealed passage.
