• Xiao Wu began condensing her sixth Spirit Ring, which turned black and exceeded fifty thousand years in age.

Zhu Zhuqing risked her life to refine the Dark Demon Evil God Bead in hopes of becoming stronger. Her Hell Spirit Cat absorbed its evil energy and evolved into the Dark Demon Evil God Miao, drawing the God of Evil’s interest.

• Lu Chen warned Zhu Zhuqing that refining the Dark Demon Evil God Bead could consume her will, but Zhu Zhuqing chose to try.
• Lu Chen instructed Zhu Zhuqing to awaken the bead with blood infused with her spiritual power, Soul Power, and desire for strength.
• After Zhu Zhuqing’s blood made the bead react, its energy entered her body and overwhelmed her Soul Power.

• The Hell Spirit Cat transformed, growing the Dark Demon Evil Tiger’s Evil God Hook and Evil God Wings and becoming the Dark Demon Evil God Miao.
• The God of Evil noticed Zhu Zhuqing’s transformation and remarked that it was interesting.

Lu Chen and Dugu Yan watched Zhu Zhuqing endure the Dark Demon Evil God Bead’s evil power while Xiao Wu completed her sixth Spirit Ring. The chapter ended with Zhu Zhuqing emerging transformed into a humanoid Dark Demon Evil God Tiger.

• Lu Chen told Dugu Yan that Zhu Zhuqing was absorbing the bead and insisted she could overcome its evil attribute, though he resisted intervening as the tiger’s phantom threatened her.
• Xiao Wu finished condensing a sixty-thousand-year sixth Spirit Ring, reached level sixty-three, and gained the skill Void, which let her evade fatal damage and resist physical and energy attacks.
• Lu Chen brought Xiao Wu to his side, reassured her about Zhu Zhuqing, and congratulated her on becoming a Spirit Emperor.
• An hour later, Zhu Zhuqing absorbed the remaining black mist and appeared with blood-red eyes, tiger-like markings, wings, a barbed tail, and five Spirit Rings.

After ten months of training on Sea God Island, Xiao Wu, Zhu Zhuqing, and Dugu Yan had grown powerful enough to pursue Lu Chen’s goal of winning the Continental Advanced Soul Master Elite Tournament. Their next trials all required them to defeat Xiao Bai and the Demon Soul Great White Shark Group, so Lu Chen brought them to meet Xiao Bai and begin a contest.

• Lu Chen celebrated the women’s progress and urged them to win the upcoming tournament for Longevity Academy.
• Dugu Yan, Xiao Wu, and Zhu Zhuqing explained that their next trials were all Demon Shark’s Terror and discussed ways to overcome Xiao Bai and her clan.
• Lu Chen reasoned that the trial required the women to earn Xiao Bai’s acceptance, not kill her, and suggested they test their strength against the sharks.
• After eating, Lu Chen took the three women to the shore and summoned Xiao Bai with his Divine Sense.
• Xiao Bai arrived, declared that she could now use her full strength and her clansmen’s help, and challenged the women to another contest.

Dugu Yan, Xiao Wu, and Zhu Zhuqing fought Xiao Bai and her Demon Soul Great White Shark clan but were overwhelmed by the sharks’ numbers and Xiao Bai’s control of the ocean. After rescuing them, Lu Chen devised a plan to use Dugu Yan’s Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud skill in a prepared ambush the next day.

• Lu Chen let Xiao Wu, Zhu Zhuqing, and Dugu Yan face Xiao Bai’s clan under the trial rules, and Xiao Bai summoned 300 Demon Soul Great White Sharks to fight them.
• The three women resisted the clan’s barrage from the air, but Xiao Bai used her Demon Shark Domain to control the seawater and block Dugu Yan’s reflected attacks.
• Forced into the ocean, Xiao Wu, Zhu Zhuqing, and Dugu Yan were pursued and suppressed until their Soul Power ran out, and Xiao Bai sent them back to shore.
• Lu Chen checked the women, took them to Sea Dragon City to recover, and listened as they worried that they had no way to overcome the sharks.
• Lu Chen proposed using Dugu Yan’s Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud area attack after luring the sharks into terrain where none could escape, and told them to challenge Xiao Bai again the next day while appearing weak.

After more than a month of defeats, Xiao Wu, Zhu Zhuqing, and Dugu Yan lured Xiao Bai and the Demon Soul Great White Shark Group into a narrow strait. Dugu Yan unleashed the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud’s Vast Sea Raging Waves, devastating the group and leaving Xiao Bai badly injured.

• Xiao Bai ordered the Demon Soul Great White Sharks to attack the three women with Demon Shark Teeth, while Xiao Wu protected them with Invincible Golden Body.
• Zhu Zhuqing carried Xiao Wu and Dugu Yan toward a narrow strait as Dugu Yan secretly charged the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud with her soul power.
• Xiao Bai led more than three hundred Demon Soul Great White Sharks into the strait, where the cramped passage left them with little room to maneuver.
• Dugu Yan unleashed Vast Sea Raging Waves, and the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud shattered Xiao Bai’s crystalline seawater wall and swept through the group.
• The attack hurled the sharks into the air, severely injured Xiao Bai, and left many Demon Soul Great White Sharks near death.

Dugu Yan completed the fourth Sea God trial and used Sea God's Light to heal the Demon Soul Great White Shark Group, earning Xiao Bai’s allegiance. Lu Chen then took Dugu Yan, Xiao Wu, and Zhu Zhuqing through a spatial rift back to the continent, leaving Bo Saixi stunned by his power.

• Dugu Yan, Xiao Wu, and Zhu Zhuqing completed their trials and received Soul Power and Spirit Ring rewards, while Sea God's Light healed Xiao Bai and the injured Demon Soul Great White Sharks.
• Bo Saixi explained Sea God's Light, and Xiao Bai acknowledged Dugu Yan as the Sea God Successor and pledged her group’s service.
• Lu Chen told Bo Saixi that he and the three women would return to the continent for a few months before resuming their trials, and Bo Saixi allowed them to leave under Dugu Yan’s authority.
• Lu Chen revealed his powerful purple-gold Spirit Rings, opened a spatial rift with Space Slash, and led the three women through it.
• Bo Saixi watched the rift close and gasped at Lu Chen’s Spirit Rings, which were each over a million years old.

After returning to the Longevity Sect, Lu Chen reunited Dugu Yan with Dugu Bo and learned that Bibi Dong had reclaimed the Pontiff’s seat and was pressuring the Lower Four Sects. Lu Chen left to visit the Elephant Armor Sect and learn more.

• Lu Chen decided to visit the Elephant Armor Sect and ask Huyan Zhen for details.

• Lu Chen concluded that Bibi Dong planned to attack the Upper Three Sects during the Continental Advanced Soul Master Elite Tournament and decided to let her destabilize the old order.
• Lu Chen ordered Huyan Zhen to relocate the Elephant Armor Sect and Elephant Armor Academy to the Longevity Sect, then accompanied him to bring the Wind Sword Sect, Black Tiger Sect, and Fire Leopard Sect there as well.
• Bibi Dong raged over Lu Chen's interference but held back from confronting him, acknowledging that she could not be sure of defeating him.
• Bibi Dong planned to use the Soul Hunting Plan and a war to plunge the continent into chaos, empowering her Rakshasa Divine Power so she could destroy Lu Chen and the Angel Lineage.

The Longevity Sect absorbed the Lower Four Sects and sent its team to compete in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Elite Tournament. Lu Chen arrived at the Heaven Dou Great Soul Arena with the four sect masters, where Xue Beng and the new Platinum Bishop Morton reacted uneasily to his presence.

• Lu Chen established the Longevity Sect at the former Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect headquarters and rewarded the Elephant Armor Sect, Wind Sword Sect, Black Tiger Sect, and Fire Leopard Sect with Soul Bones and Gold Soul Coins, making them subsidiary sects.
• As the Spirit Master Tournament approached, Lu Chen encouraged the Longevity Academy Team, led by Ah Yin and Ah Rou, to win the championship.
• The ten Longevity Team competitors departed for the Heaven Dou Great Soul Arena, while Lu Chen planned to watch Tang San encounter Ah Yin.
• Lu Chen met Huyan Zhen, Feng Bailong, Mo Yu, and Li Yuntian in the sky, and the five flew to the tournament as special guests.

• Lu Chen dismissed Xue Beng's hidden resentment and considered how he would replace the old order after the Spirit Hall Empire rose and the Heaven Dou Empire fell.

Shrek Academy arrived at the Heaven Dou Great Soul Arena for the Spirit Master Tournament and encountered the wealthy Longevity Academy team. Tang San and Ah Yin sensed a strange familiarity but failed to recognize their mother-son bond, while Tang San’s bloodlust made him want to devour her; the chapter left him focused on revenge and growing stronger.

• Liu Erlong complained that Flender had crammed ten people into one carriage, and Flender explained that Shrek Academy was losing students and money.
• Flender’s group headed into the arena, where Tang San had reached rank fifty-four, Dai Mubai rank forty-six, and Oscar and Ma Hongjun rank thirty-seven.
• Longevity Academy arrived in luxurious carriages, and Tang San felt his bloodline react to Ah Yin while she sensed his kindred bloodline but could not identify him as her son.

At the Spirit Master Tournament’s opening ceremony, Xue Beng and Lu Chen competed to attract young spirit masters, while Tang San revealed himself as a powerful Soul King. After Shrek crushed the Heaven Dou Royal Academy Second Team, Tang San pledged loyalty to Xue Beng and secured access to the palace, intending to pursue his grievance against Lu Chen.

• Xue Beng promised noble titles to successful teams that joined the Heaven Dou Imperial Family, and Lu Chen invited talented competitors to join his Longevity Sect regardless of their results.
• Morton drew Shrek Academy Team against the Heaven Dou Royal Academy Second Team for the exhibition match, and Tang San’s five spirit rings made rival academies wary.

• Tang San knelt before Xue Beng, offered Shrek’s loyalty, and received a waist token granting him access to the palace.

After the tournament opening ceremony, Lu Chen planned to expose Tang San as a bloodthirsty Fallen Spirit Master. In the palace, Tang San gained Xue Beng’s support by demonstrating the Godly Zhuge Crossbow, then killed Prince Xue Xing on Xue Beng’s orders, clearing the way for them to conspire against Lu Chen.

• Lu Chen told Xiao Wu, Zhu Zhuqing, and Dugu Yan to expose Tang San’s bloodthirsty nature in the tournament while concealing their full strength.

• Huyan Zhen transformed and pressured Tang San, but Yu Xiaogang, Flender, and Liu Erlong combined their powers to form a golden dragon and protect him.
