Chapter Summaries

Snow Empress’s breakthrough to seven hundred thousand years triggered a heavenly tribulation in the Undead Semi-Plane, and she fought through its increasingly powerful bolts. After clashing with the final golden bolt, she vanished from Xiao Hongchen’s senses, leaving her fate unknown.

• Snow Empress absorbed the Myriad-Year Profound Ice Marrow and broke through to seven hundred thousand years, causing the Heavenly Dao to lock onto her and summon a tribulation.
• Xiao Hongchen opened the Undead Gate, fled to safety, and worried that the tribulation would also strike Dragon City and endanger his grandfather.
• Snow Empress used her Ultimate Ice and restored origin to withstand the first five bolts, while Xiao Hongchen used Verdict of Destiny: Luck to aid her.
• Snow Empress combined Emperor’s Cold Heaven, Emperor Palm, and her domains to freeze and block the sixth blood-red bolt, but she was badly injured.
• Snow Empress wielded Emperor Sword against the final golden bolt as Xiao Hongchen protected himself from the shock wave and lost the ability to sense her condition.

Snow Empress survived her seven-hundred-thousand-year tribulation but fell gravely injured, and Xiao Hongchen caught her and used the Gold of Life to begin healing her. As she absorbed its vitality, their closeness left Snow Empress flustered.

• Snow Empress took the Blade of Life's Watch into her mouth and absorbed its vitality, rapidly recovering from her injuries.
• Snow Empress noticed Xiao Hongchen was pressed close against her and demanded that he move away, but he said moving farther would make her lose the Gold of Life's vitality.

Xiao Hongchen helped Snow Empress recover with the Gold of Life, and she thanked him before accepting the codename Saber. They collected the remaining Myriad-Year Profound Ice Marrow and left the Cold Well to return to Grandpa.

After Snow Empress emerged from the Cold Well with greatly increased strength, Xiao Hongchen led her and Jing Hongchen to the Sunset Forest in search of an Immortal Herb treasure trove. They reached a hidden valley centered on a lake of ice and fire, where the astonishing life energy left even Snow Empress stunned.

• Snow Empress emerged from the Cold Well with Xiao Hongchen, and Jing Hongchen agreed to leave before the Earth Dragon Sect noticed what had happened.
• Xiao Hongchen told Jing Hongchen about the Immortal Herbs in the Sunset Forest, and the three flew there together.
• The group found the forest covered in poisonous miasma, which Snow Empress froze and dispersed with Snow Dance Shining Sun.
• Jing Hongchen recognized thousands of Jade Phosphorus Seven-Absolute Flowers and ten-thousand-year-old Jade Phosphorus Nine-Absolute Flowers growing along a steep valley.
• Xiao Hongchen led the others into the valley, where they found a lake divided between icy blue and fiery red, surrounded by plants and tremendous life energy.

Xiao Hongchen forced the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well’s plant Soul Beasts to surrender their treasures and essences, then used the Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew to awaken his Brain Martial Soul to the silver level. He broke through to the Formless and Intangible realm of spiritual power, leaving with his Sea of Consciousness transformed and his Spiritual Power surging.

• Snow Empress used her aura to make Youyou emerge, and Xiao Hongchen demanded the ancient book and Aromatic Silk Beauty Elixir.

After Xiao Hongchen’s Second Awakening, Elder Yi awakened in his Sea of Consciousness and agreed to study whether Soul Beasts could become intelligent Soul Rings. Xiao Hongchen then began absorbing the Silver Dragon Head Soul Bone, confronting its remnant soul in his Sea of Consciousness and attacking it with an imagined meteor protected by Susanoo.

• Elder Yi awakened after Xiao Hongchen channeled Spiritual Power into the black air in his Sea of Consciousness.
• Xiao Hongchen asked whether a Soul Beast could become an intelligent Soul Ring that existed outside a Soul Master, and Electrolux agreed to observe his next absorption.
• Xiao Hongchen took out the hundred-thousand-year-old Silver Dragon Head Soul Bone and began absorbing it.
• The Silver Dragon’s remnant soul attacked Xiao Hongchen in his Sea of Consciousness, but he shattered its waves and sent its elemental tornado into a spatial rift.
• Xiao Hongchen summoned Susanoo and brought down an imagined meteor as the Silver Dragon raised a seven-element barrier.

After defeating the Silver Dragon's remnant soul in his Sea of Consciousness, Xiao Hongchen absorbed the Silver Dragon Skull and gained command of all seven elements, spatial control, and a new Soul Skill called Psychic Power. He demonstrated its ability to manipulate objects and living beings, leaving Jing Hongchen astonished, before Jing asked what the skull's other Soul Skill was.

• Xiao Hongchen defeated the Silver Dragon's remnant soul, which merged into his mind and expanded his Spiritual Power.
• Xiao Hongchen absorbed the Silver Dragon Skull and gained control of water, fire, earth, wind, light, darkness, and space.
• Xiao Hongchen used spatial power to hide fireballs and ice spikes before releasing them near Jing Hongchen, who barely sensed the attacks in time.
• Xiao Hongchen revealed that the skull's First Soul Skill, Psychic Power, let him control nonmetallic objects and living beings, then manipulated an ancient tree with precision.

Xiao Hongchen absorbed the Singular Velvet Sky Mallow and Aromatic Silk Beauty, strengthening his body and triggering a higher evolution of his Three-Legged Golden Toad. Electrolux urged him to fuse the Gold of Life with the Martial Soul so it could become Ultimate Gold.

• Xiao Hongchen chose the Singular Velvet Sky Mallow and Aromatic Silk Beauty to absorb, then Snow Empress uprooted the two Immortal Herbs.

• The Three-Legged Golden Toad swallowed the sun and moon, beginning a higher evolution, and Electrolux told Xiao Hongchen to fuse the Gold of Life into it to create Ultimate Gold.

Xiao Hongchen fused the Gold of Life into his Three-Legged Golden Toad, evolving it into a Super Martial Soul with Ultimate Gold and awakening the Ultimate Talent he named Degradation. After Jing Hongchen praised his achievement, Xiao Hongchen prepared to move the Immortal Herbs from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well into the Undead Semi-Plane.

• Xiao Hongchen completed his Martial Soul's evolution, gaining the Three-Legged Three-Eyed Golden Toad and Ultimate Gold.

• Xiao Hongchen opened a gate to the Undead Semi-Plane and told Snow Empress to transplant the Immortal Herbs, executing any that resisted.
• Snow Empress considered that Xiao Hongchen might become a god and that staying by his side might let her become a divine beast.

Xiao Hongchen secured the immortal herbs inside his Undead Semi-Plane and gave Snow Empress the resources to condense her second Soul Core at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. As Snow Empress began drawing in Ultimate Ice energy, Xiao Hongchen explained how it would help her first Soul Core stop resisting the new one.

• Jing Hongchen recognized that Xiao Hongchen's Undead Gate could let a Soul Engineer legion strike the capitals of the Three Douluo Kingdoms, though opening it wide enough would take several minutes.
• Xiao Hongchen confined the immortal herbs in the Undead Semi-Plane, using undead creatures to keep them from escaping or damaging the relocated profound ice mineral vein.
• Xiao Hongchen gave Snow Empress ten Myriad-Year Profound Ice Marrows and urged her to condense Yin-Yang Complementary Dual Soul Cores in the Cold Extreme Ice Spring.
• Snow Empress entered the spring, and the Ice Element gathered into a growing vortex as the temperature at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well fell.
• Xiao Hongchen explained to Jing Hongchen that the Ultimate Ice energy would distract Snow Empress's first Soul Core, weakening its resistance to the second Soul Core.

The Snow Empress succeeded in forming her Yin-Yang Complementary Dual Soul Cores and gained power she hoped would let her challenge Di Tian. She and Xiao Hongchen traded teasing remarks until Jing Hongchen interrupted them and urged everyone to leave.

• The Snow Empress completed her Spiritual Soul Core and rose from the spring with overwhelming power.
• The Snow Empress thanked Xiao Hongchen, who teased her about her soaked clothes and their coming century together.

Xiao Hongchen chose a Golden Hawksbill Turtle as the target for his Sixth Soul Ring and traveled with Jing Hongchen and Snow Empress to the Star Dou Great Forest. They found a turtle whose life force was draining away, and Snow Empress prepared to handle it.

• Xiao Hongchen told Jing Hongchen he wanted a Hundred Thousand Year Golden Hawksbill Turtle, explaining that his transformed Ultimate Gold Martial Soul and powerful body and Spiritual Power made him confident he could absorb its ring.
• Jing Hongchen agreed to follow Xiao Hongchen's plan, and the three flew toward the Star Dou Great Forest with Snow Empress leading the way.
• In the forest's mixed zone, Xiao Hongchen claimed the Eye of Fate had pointed him toward a thirty-thousand-year turtle, and Snow Empress used her Spiritual Power to search the area.
• Snow Empress found a Golden Hawksbill Turtle beside a lake, where it lounged among several female Soul Beasts.
• Snow Empress sent the thousand-year Soul Beasts flying and sensed that the turtle's life force was slowly draining; Xiao Hongchen left the encounter to her, and she bristled at his comparison to ordinary Ferocious Beasts.

Xiao Hongchen killed the Golden Hawksbill Turtle and absorbed its Soul Ring, External Soul Bone, and Gold of Life, strengthening his Martial Soul and Power of Destiny. The resulting surge made Di Tian believe a new Auspicious Beast had appeared, while the Three-Eyed Golden Lion realized the power came from Xiao Hongchen using what he had taken from her.

• Snow Empress froze the Golden Hawksbill Turtle, and Xiao Hongchen smashed its head before finding a turtle-shell-shaped External Soul Bone inside its shell.
• Xiao Hongchen absorbed the turtle's blood-red Soul Ring, while the Three-Legged Three-Eyed Golden Toad consumed its Golden Bloodline and auspicious energy.
• Xiao Hongchen claimed the Gold of Life, causing the Three-Legged Golden Toad's third eye to open and reflect his Power of Destiny.
• A wave of auspicious energy spread across the land, refreshing humans and Soul Beasts within hundreds of kilometers.
• Di Tian sensed the ripple and asked Bi Ji to help locate the apparent new Auspicious Beast, but neither could find its source.
• The Three-Eyed Golden Lion hid that the power came from Xiao Hongchen and decided to cultivate in seclusion.

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion disguised her escape from the Star Dou Great Forest as a period of seclusion and set out to find Xiao Hongchen. Meanwhile, Xiao absorbed a Soul Bone and gained new defensive abilities before he, Jing Hongchen, and Snow Empress sensed a distant battle and went to investigate.

• The Three-Eyed Golden Lion suspected Tang Wutong's Divine Sense had influenced her, then used a doppelganger to fake seclusion and secretly left in the appearance of Wang Qiu'er to find Xiao Hongchen.
• Xiao Hongchen absorbed the Golden Hawksbill Turtle's back Soul Bone, toughening his physique without increasing his Soul Power.
• Xiao explained the Soul Skills from his sixth Soul Ring and back Soul Bone, including Invincible Barrier, Golden Toad Roar, Golden Repel, and Golden Toad Sloughing.
• Jing Hongchen teased Xiao about his defensive abilities, then agreed to leave the forest with him and Snow Empress.
• Snow Empress sensed a battle nearby and three auras that made her uncomfortable, so the group decided to investigate.

Ling Luochеn’s Supervision Team was slaughtered by three powerful Evil Soul Masters, leaving her alone and out of Invincible Barriers. Just as Zhongli Ren moved to kill her, a silver-haired stranger appeared and held her, leaving her wondering if he was her Prince Charming.

• Ling Luochеn recalled how the Death God Envoy incident led to her being assigned extra Supervision Team missions and how she had underestimated the danger of the mission in the Star Dou Great Forest.
• Zhongli Tian, Zhongli Di, and Zhongli Ren’s forces overwhelmed the Supervision Team, killing the Diamond Mammoth Soul Saint, the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Soul Emperor, Dai Yaoheng, and the Azure Vine Soul Emperor.
• Ling Luochеn used her Invincible Barriers to survive the slaughter, but she had kept them for herself and now had none left.
• Zhongli Ren mocked Ling Luochеn before launching an attack, and her Ice Radiance Ring barely slowed the approaching Beast Souls.
• A silver-haired man appeared before Ling Luochеn, shielded her from the danger, and held her safely in his arms.

Xiao Hongchen rescued the exhausted Ling Luochеn from the Zhongli Three Brothers and shielded her from their beast spirits. As he prepared to face them, Zhongli Tian offered to let him leave with Ling Luochеn if they called their injuries even.

• Xiao Hongchen asked Jing Hongchen and Snow Empress to let him fight the Zhongli Three Brothers alone, then flew to Ling Luochеn and protected her from their beast spirits with his barrier.
• The counterattack wounded the Nether Ghost Tiger and Ghost Shadow Leopard Emperor, causing Zhongli Di and Zhongli Ren to suffer backlash and spit blood.
• Ling Luochеn realized Xiao Hongchen had saved her, clung to him, and then withdrew in embarrassment when he pointed it out.
• Xiao Hongchen sealed Ling Luochеn inside a Metal Fortress because she had run out of Soul Power, while she watched him through its air hole.
• Zhongli Tian offered to let Xiao Hongchen take Ling Luochеn and leave if they called the fight even.

Xiao Hongchen fought Zhongli Tian and used Purification Light to destroy the beast souls sustaining his power. With Zhongli Tian badly weakened, Xiao Hongchen charged at him, but Zhongli Tian raised his hand with a strange smile.

• Zhongli Tian transformed into mist and empowered his Red Gold Lion, while his brothers watched for Jing Hongchen.
• Xiao Hongchen wounded the Red Gold Lion with Golden Toad Roar, then restrained it with a Metal Torrent.
• Xiao Hongchen used Psychic Power to pull Zhongli Tian toward him, prompting Zhongli Tian to summon an army of beast souls with his staff.
• Xiao Hongchen’s Purification Light erased the summoned souls and freed the Red Gold Lion, causing Zhongli Tian’s Martial Soul Avatar to collapse and leaving him gravely injured.
• Zhongli Tian mistook Xiao Hongchen for the Holy Son and pleaded for him to return to the Holy Cult; Xiao Hongchen rejected the claim and charged at him.
• Zhongli Tian raised his hand with a strange smile as Xiao Hongchen’s punch closed in.

Ling Luochеn watched in horror as Xiao Hongchen appeared to be stabbed by the Ghost Shadow Leopard Emperor, but Xiao Hongchen’s illusion had instead led Zhongli Ren to kill Zhongli Tian. After Xiao Hongchen injured the beast spirit, Zhongli Di fled while redirecting his strongest attack toward Ling Luochеn, leaving Xiao Hongchen to choose between rescuing her and pursuing him.

• Ling Luochеn relived the memory of her younger brother’s death when she saw the Ghost Shadow Leopard Emperor seemingly pierce Xiao Hongchen’s chest.
• Zhongli Ren realized the Ghost Shadow Leopard Emperor had stabbed Zhongli Tian instead of Xiao Hongchen, and Xiao Hongchen struck the beast spirit with Black Flash.
• Xiao Hongchen taunted Zhongli Ren about the illusion, while Zhongli Di transformed and attacked him with the Nether Domain Snake and Nether Ghost Tiger Break.
• Zhongli Di turned his attacks toward Ling Luochеn’s Golden Fortress and fled, forcing Xiao Hongchen to decide whether to protect her or pursue him.

Xiao Hongchen cut down Zhongli Di’s Nether Ghost Tiger and survived Zhongli Ren’s ambush with help from the pink-and-blue-haired girl. Afterward, she bargained with Xiao Hongchen to travel with him and asked him to give her a new name.

• Xiao Hongchen pierced the Nether Ghost Tiger with Gold Piercing, then sliced its body in half and forced Zhongli Di out of his mist form.
• Zhongli Ren feigned death and attacked Xiao Hongchen from behind with Nether Domain Snake Hand.
• The pink-and-blue-haired girl arrived with the Golden Dragon Spear, overcame Zhongli Ren’s bloodline advantage, and pinned him to the ground.
• The girl teased Xiao Hongchen about saving him and threatened to reveal that he was a transmigrator, so he agreed to her demands.
• The girl asked Xiao Hongchen to take her wherever he went and give her a new name, rejecting the name Qiu'er.

Xiao Hongchen named the girl Di Qiuer, then stepped in when she confronted Ling Luochеn with her Golden Dragon Martial Soul's pressure. Di Qiuer explained her Soul Ring Configuration and ended the chapter fuming after Xiao Hongchen teased her into keeping quiet.

• Xiao Hongchen told the girl that a person's soul mattered more than her name or appearance, and she accepted the name Di Qiuer.
• Ling Luochеn interrupted their conversation, and Xiao Hongchen reclaimed the Metal Fortress that had enclosed her.
• Di Qiuer challenged Ling Luochеn and released her five Soul Rings and dragon might, but Xiao Hongchen shielded Ling Luochеn from most of the pressure.
• Di Qiuer teased Xiao Hongchen about saving a beauty and having a girlfriend, while he denied there was anything between him and Ling Luochеn.
• Di Qiuer said her Soul Ring Configuration reflected her fifteen thousand years of cultivation and Golden Dragon Martial Soul, and Xiao Hongchen teased her until she fell silent.
