Chapter Summaries

Dragon Phoenix Hall priced its Hundred Year Longevity Pills beyond what buyers would pay, while the Federation’s investigation into the God-Slaying Weapon theft and the murders of more than twenty officials stalled. Di Tian defeated Chen Xinjie on land and drew with him at sea, winning their match overall, but his application to replace Chen as War God Hall Master remained pending.

• Dragon Phoenix Hall set the price of each Hundred Year Longevity Pill at thirty billion, and no one bought one.
• The Federation Police Department failed to find leads in the God-Slaying Weapon theft or the murders of more than twenty officials, whom Qian Gu Dong Feng had killed with Yu Guan Zhi’s assistance.
• After the parliamentary session, Chen Xinjie accepted Di Tian’s challenge, and Di Tian defeated him in their land battle.
• Two months later, Di Tian fought Chen Xinjie in the West Sea, where their battle ended in a draw after both were severely injured.
• Di Tian applied to replace Chen Xinjie as Hall Master of War God Hall, but the Federation Speaker said approval might take another half month.

Bai Fei discovered that the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well had vanished, leaving the Tang Sect without its treasured cultivation ground. In the Dragon God Space, Yun Ze absorbed the Titan Giant Ape Soul Spirit, gained a million-year sixth soul ring, and reached level sixty-three.

• Bai Fei took Wu Lin to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, found the mountain's treasure pit empty, and returned to consult the Tang Sect's higher-ups after failing to understand how it had disappeared.
• Yun Ze absorbed the intelligence-less Titan Giant Ape Soul Spirit in the Dragon God Space, refining its vast energy with ease.
• Gu Yue Na, Di Tian, and Lin Yi watched Yun Ze complete the absorption after more than thirty hours and form a golden million-year sixth soul ring.
• Yun Ze revealed that his soul power had reached level sixty-three, and Gu Yue Na eagerly asked him about the changes in his strength.

Yun Ze revealed that he could fight a Quasi-God with battle armor, then traveled with Gu Yue Na to Devil Island to investigate its divine energies and search for rare materials. They secretly crossed the Northern Sea Legion’s defenses and flew into the darkness, following the stronger traces of Life Energy and Destruction Energy.

• Yun Ze told Gu Yue Na, Di Tian, and the others that his strength was comparable to a Demi-God without battle armor and could reach the Quasi-God level with it.
• Yun Ze and Gu Yue Na left Mingdu for Devil Island, hoping to study its Life Energy and Destruction Energy and find meteorites or Cosmic Metal for Yun Ze’s planned Four-Word Battle Armor.
• After reaching Northern Sea City, Yun Ze and Gu Yue Na bypassed the Northern Sea Legion’s defenses by flying high above the coastline on the Emerald Dragon King.
• Yun Ze concealed himself, Gu Yue Na, and the Emerald Dragon King with his spiritual power, then guided their flight toward the stronger energy traces in the dark sea.

Yun Ze and Gu Yue Na reached Devil Island and discovered that its field erased Origin Power and prevented flight. They made their way to the island’s center, where Yun Ze stopped before a small space surrounding a purple-black pillar of light.

• Yun Ze and Gu Yue Na identified the black islands as Devil Island after sensing Destruction Aura mixed with faint life energy.
• Yun Ze explained that the island’s field erased Origin Power, and he reassured Gu Yue Na that their Ninth Level Milk Bottles could restore their Soul Power.
• Yun Ze and Gu Yue Na landed, observed the Flight Restriction Field, and flew toward the island’s center below its fifty-meter limit.
• Yun Ze and Gu Yue Na crossed the silent black forest and found a purple-black pillar of light amid violent energy.
• Yun Ze stopped more than a hundred meters from the pillar and warned Gu Yue Na that a few more steps would take them into a Small Space.

Yun Ze and Gu Yue Na entered Devil Island’s hidden, life-filled space and encountered an old man guarding the energy crystals. After Yun Ze revealed their intention to take the Life and Destruction Shards, he exposed himself as an enemy of Shrek and swiftly subdued the old man.

• Yun Ze and Gu Yue Na crossed into a lush hidden space within Devil Island, where a purple-black pillar of light rose in the distance.
• An elderly man appeared and mistook Yun Ze and Gu Yue Na for Shrek Academy students on military training.
• Yun Ze told the old man they had come for the Destruction and Life Shards, revealing that the crystals sustained the island’s energy beings.
• The old man grew hostile and attacked Yun Ze and Gu Yue Na with Destruction Energy.
• Yun Ze released his martial soul, overwhelmed the old man with flames, and seized him by the neck.

Yun Ze captured Ruin Old Demon and defeated Nightmare Old Demon after countering their reliance on Devil Island’s energy. He burned away both demons’ souls, leaving them unable to reform.

• Yun Ze severed Ruin Old Demon’s connection to Devil Island and restrained him.
• Gu Yue Na warned Yun Ze of an attack, but Yun Ze blocked it and confronted Nightmare Old Demon.
• Yun Ze overwhelmed Nightmare Old Demon and seized him by the throat.
• Yun Ze used Phoenix Flames to burn away Ruin Old Demon and Nightmare Old Demon’s souls until both vanished.

Yun Ze and Gu Yue Na waited for the remaining Devil Island old demons after killing Destruction and Nightmare. Yun Ze fought Greedy Old Demon and gained the upper hand, while the other old demons’ arrival remained imminent.

• Gu Yue Na admired Yun Ze after he defeated his opponent, and Yun Ze warned her that the other five old demons would soon arrive.
• The five old demons sensed Destruction and Nightmare’s deaths and rushed toward Yun Ze and Gu Yue Na’s island in a murderous rage.
• Yun Ze donned his Three-Word Battle Armor and fired Phoenix Flame arrows at Greedy Old Demon, who countered with Destruction Energy.
• Greedy Old Demon was shocked to discover that his opponent was a child, then clashed with Yun Ze as their blows cracked the island ground.
• Yun Ze proved stronger than Greedy Old Demon, whose Demi-God power and limited combat experience could not match Yun Ze’s strength and skill.

Yun Ze and Gu Yue Na fought the Seven Old Demons of Devil Island, with Yun Ze suppressing Greedy Old Demon while ten True Dragon Mechas overwhelmed the others. Yun Ze defeated and captured Greedy Old Demon, then began refining his soul as the remaining Old Demons struggled to reach him.

• Yun Ze seized the initiative against Greedy Old Demon, using a relentless assault to keep him on the defensive.
• Gu Yue Na summoned ten True Dragon Mechas, which attacked Abomination, Devouring, Desire, Sloth, and Greedy Old Demon.
• Gu Yue Na amplified the mechas with her Quasi-Dragon God Bloodline, strengthening their attacks and putting the Old Demons under heavier pressure.
• Yun Ze defeated Greedy Old Demon in less than ten minutes and captured him.
• Yun Ze began refining Greedy Old Demon's soul, while Devouring, Desire, Sloth, and Abomination Old Demon cried out and fought desperately but could not reach him.

Yun Ze killed the remaining Old Demons and, with Gu Yue Na, investigated the purple beam of Destruction Energy. He revealed that he could absorb and refine the energy without harm, and the two continued toward its source.

• Yun Ze refined and killed Devouring Old Demon, Desire Old Demon, Abomination Old Demon, and Sloth Old Demon, preventing them from reviving through Devil Island's power.
• Gu Yue Na recalled the ten True Dragon Mechas and accompanied Yun Ze toward the purple beam after warning him about the danger.
• Yun Ze told Gu Yue Na to use Dragon God's Heart to shield herself from the Destruction Power, and she found that it weakened the energy's effect on her.
• Yun Ze approached the beam without protection and explained that he absorbed and refined its Destruction Energy into pure energy to restore and improve his Soul Power.

Yun Ze took the Destruction Shard, which Gu Yue Na identified as containing the origin energy of the God of Destruction and the God of Life. Yun Ze concluded that both Divine Kings had perished, and the pair left the collapsing island to investigate another one.

• Yun Ze touched the Destruction Shard without triggering its destructive energy, then covered it in flames to suppress its aura and lifted it from the ground.
• Gu Yue Na identified the crystal’s energy as belonging to the God of Destruction and the God of Life, and wondered whether they had died.
• Yun Ze said the origin energy was ownerless and therefore its owners had perished, and Gu Yue Na rejoiced that the God Realm had lost two Divine Kings.
• Yun Ze and Gu Yue Na left the Small Space, which began collapsing after the shards were removed, and the island’s flight-restriction domain started to fade.
• Yun Ze and Gu Yue Na flew to another island that had a similar gloomy forest, flight restriction, and lack of Origin Power.

Yun Ze and Gu Yue Na collected fifty-nine Destruction Shards from the thirty-five Devil Islands and found that the Cosmic Materials there had already been taken. They devised a way to locate more shards beneath the sea, leaving Gu Yue Na ready to use detection Soul Tools to search for them.

• Yun Ze and Gu Yue Na flew across all thirty-five islands and collected fifty-nine Destruction Shards, which Yun Ze stored in the Dragon God Space.
• Yun Ze investigated traces of Cosmic Energy on the islands but found only empty craters, with the Cosmic Materials apparently already taken by the Seven Old Demons.
• Gu Yue Na proposed asking Sea Soul Beasts to search the sea, but Yun Ze explained that the Destruction Shards' fields drove soul beasts away and could reveal where shards lay.
• Gu Yue Na offered to send their people underwater, but Yun Ze reminded her that land soul beasts were unfamiliar with the sea.
• Yun Ze proposed making underwater detection Soul Tools to locate areas without Sea Soul Beasts and metal-detection Soul Tools to find Cosmic Metal.

Yun Ze and Gu Yue Na planned to create underwater detection Soul Tools to search for Cosmic Metal near the Devil Islands, then discussed how to use Destruction Shards. Yun Ze assigned the rare material to Battle Armor for five leaders and reaffirmed that his help was part of fulfilling his promise to Gu Yue Na.

• Yun Ze and Gu Yue Na agreed to buy and build underwater detection Soul Tools for their search around the Devil Islands, with Yun Ze designing devices to locate Cosmic Metal.
• Gu Yue Na asked whether she could command Sea Soul Beasts, and Yun Ze agreed to accompany her to test it.
• Yun Ze told Gu Yue Na that fused Destruction Shards would strengthen equipment and that five sets of Battle Armor would go to him, Gu Yue Na, Di Tian, Bear Lord, and Lin Yi.
• Gu Yue Na offered to explain the allocation to the others, but Yun Ze said the decision was final and they would have to obey.
• Yun Ze told Gu Yue Na that his help was simply part of fulfilling his original promise to her.

Yun Ze told Gu Yue Na that he did not return her feelings and that their relationship had no certain future. Gu Yue Na confessed her love and insisted on waiting for him, then asked to leave the world with him, and Yun Ze challenged her to consider the danger and her responsibilities to the soul beasts.

• Yun Ze explained that his help for Gu Yue Na and the soul beasts came from a promise and that he regarded Gu Yue Na as little more than an acquaintance.
• Yun Ze told Gu Yue Na he had no romantic feelings for her and expected to leave the world soon, leaving them with no future together.
• Gu Yue Na confessed that she loved Yun Ze, hugged him, and asked him to try to return her feelings.
• Yun Ze said his feelings could change naturally over time, and Gu Yue Na resolved to wait for that possibility.
• Gu Yue Na asked to leave the world with Yun Ze, and he warned her that abandoning the soul beasts and following his deadly path could cost her life.

Gu Yue Na decided to leave the Douluo World with Yun Ze, and he agreed to take her when he departed. They later reached a deep-sea area where Gu Yue Na summoned hundreds of Sea Soul Beasts with her Quasi-Dragon God Bloodline.

• Gu Yue Na explained that she had no lasting concerns about leaving because Di Tian could lead the soul beasts and Yun Ze would help protect their future.
• Yun Ze warned Gu Yue Na that his destination was vastly more dangerous than their world, but she insisted she would follow him; he agreed to take her along.
• Gu Yue Na celebrated Yun Ze’s acceptance and promised she would make him like her, while Yun Ze returned their conversation to the uses of the Destruction Shards.
• Yun Ze and Gu Yue Na traveled more than eight hundred li from the Devil Islands to a sea area where the Destruction Shards no longer affected the Sea Soul Beasts.
• Gu Yue Na released her martial soul and Quasi-Dragon God Bloodline, drawing hundreds and thousands of Sea Soul Beasts to the surface.

Gu Yue Na failed to win the sea soul beasts’ obedience because their faith in the Sea God remained strong, so she and Yun Ze planned to replace him with a new sea ruler. Five days later, they searched the waters near the Devil Islands for Destruction Shards using hundreds of underwater detectors.

• A Tiger Shark attacked Gu Yue Na, and she killed it with a nine-element sphere as the other sea soul beasts fled.
• Gu Yue Na discovered that the sea soul beasts revered her bloodline but resisted her commands because of their loyalty to the Sea God.
• Yun Ze proposed defeating the current Sea God and helping a powerful sea soul beast ascend to replace him, and Gu Yue Na agreed.
• Yun Ze cultivated while Gu Yue Na slept on the Emerald Dragon King as they traveled for five days toward the Devil Islands.
• Yun Ze and Gu Yue Na reviewed footage from three hundred underwater detection Soul Tools, and Yun Ze said he could track every image at once.

Yun Ze searched the waters around the Devil Islands and collected Destruction Shards and Cosmic Metals. On the way back to Mingdu, he explained Star Moon Iron to Gu Yue Na and agreed to teach her about Cosmic Metals.

• Yun Ze and Gu Yue Na used probes and detectors to search the waters around the Devil Islands for ten hours.
• Yun Ze retrieved a Destruction Shard buried deep beneath the seafloor and followed his planned route to collect more.
• Yun Ze collected forty-four Destruction Shards and seventy-six pieces of Cosmic Metal.
• Gu Yue Na examined a piece of Star Moon Iron, and Yun Ze explained its origins and properties.
• Gu Yue Na asked Yun Ze to tell her about Cosmic Metals, and he agreed.

Yun Ze explained the collected Cosmic Metals to Gu Yue Na and chose Void Mysterious Metal for her battle armor, while planning to forge his own armor from all nine types. Two days later, he began attempting Heaven Forging, and a nine-colored halo appeared as Bear Lord watched.

• Yun Ze explained that Void Mysterious Metal would suit Gu Yue Na’s battle armor because it could accommodate elements and grow with her.
• Yun Ze said he would fuse all nine Cosmic Metals for his own armor, but explained that his Phoenix Flames and the metals’ scarcity made such armor unsuitable and impossible to duplicate for Gu Yue Na.
• Two days later, Yun Ze began forging in a remote mountain wilderness north of Mingdu while Gu Yue Na and Bear Lord watched.
• Yun Ze advanced the metal toward Heaven Forging, and his hammer strikes produced a nine-colored halo that spread through the valley.

Yun Ze advanced his first Heaven Forging attempt by drawing all nine elements into the metal, but Tang Hao, the Plane Master, tried to stop him with Law Power. Yun Ze’s formation countered the suppression, and as he continued forging, nine-colored thunderclouds gathered and struck toward him.

• Yun Ze infused the metal with all nine elements, surpassing the feats of recorded Divine Craftsmen.
• Tang Hao dispersed the elemental energy, alarming Gu Yue Na and Bear Lord as Yun Ze neared the critical stage of Heaven Forging.
• Yun Ze activated his prepared formation, which gathered the nine elements and resisted Tang Hao’s Law Power.
• Yun Ze continued forging as the formation and Law Power struggled over control of the elemental energies.
• Nine-colored thunderclouds formed above the valley, and several bolts of lightning crashed toward Yun Ze.

Yun Ze completed Nine-Colored Heaven Forging despite the Plane Master's attempt to stop him, becoming the continent's youngest Divine Craftsman. At the same moment, Zhen Hua lost his ability to perform Heaven Forging and realized that someone else had become a Divine Craftsman.

• The Plane Master raised the Elemental Tribulation Lightning to its strongest level below godhood, but Yun Ze's Thunder Resistance Array absorbed it without breaking.
• Yun Ze landed his final hammer blow as the lightning peaked, and the storm weakened after devastating the surrounding mountain.
• Yun Ze confirmed that the earth-yellow metal was Heaven-Forged Metal, and Gu Yue Na congratulated him on becoming the continent's youngest Divine Craftsman.
• Zhen Hua suddenly lost his connection with heaven and earth while forging, suffered elemental backlash, and spat out blood.
• Zhen Hua tried more than a hundred hammer strikes but could not enter the Heaven Forging state, and he realized someone else had become a Divine Craftsman.

Zhao Yi learned that Zhen Hua could no longer perform Heaven Forging and feared Bear Lord had become a Divine Blacksmith, so he moved to accelerate a plan against Dragon Phoenix Hall. Meanwhile, Yun Ze recovered his Soul Power after Heaven Forging and prepared to forge alongside Bear Lord.

• Zhen Hua told Zhao Yi that he could no longer perform Heaven Forging, and they suspected Bear Lord had become a Divine Blacksmith.
• Zhao Yi convened a Sea God Pavilion meeting with Tang Sect higher-ups and ordered them to speed up their plan against Dragon Phoenix Hall.
• Bai Fei reported that Tang Sect had prepared thirty-six Ninth Level Shadow Shells, twelve Annihilation Bombs, and one God-Slaying Shell for the operation.
• Zhao Yi instructed the group to conceal the shells at twenty carefully selected locations around Dragon Phoenix Hall and warned them not to make mistakes.
• Yun Ze restored his Soul Power with a Ninth Level Milk Bottle and asked Bear Lord to forge alongside him.
