Chapter Summaries

Yang Jian defeated Gu Yuena and told her he would enter the God Realm to settle his conflict with the Asura God, though he still had to find a way past the plane’s restrictions. He broke through the combat domain’s boundary and returned to the shore of the Lake of Life in Star Dou Forest.

• Yang Jian asked Gu Yuena if she understood the gap between them, and she silently recognized that he had defeated her with ease.
• Gu Yuena wondered how Yang Jian possessed strength beyond the limits of a human without any divine aura or Godhood inheritance.
• Yang Jian told Gu Yuena to remain on Douluo Continent and recover, declaring that he would make his own decision when he fought his way into the God Realm.
• Yang Jian considered that neither inheriting a Godhood nor becoming a god through faith offered him a viable path to the God Realm.
• Yang Jian punched through the boundary of the combat domain and walked out onto the grassy shore beside the Lake of Life in Star Dou Forest.

After leaving Star Dou Forest, Yang Jian returned to Spirit Hall and devoted himself to cultivation while its policies reshaped the continent. A year later, he had reached level ninety-eight as a Titled Douluo.

• Yang Jian left Star Dou Forest without speaking to Di Tian, who remained bewildered by Gu Yuena’s decision to let him go.

Yang Jian traveled across the ocean for three months and reached the Sun-Moon Continent, where he learned the local language and explored a coastal town. The chapter left him at a food stall, realizing that his Gold Soul Coins were useless there.

• Yang Jian abandoned his stalled cultivation and flew east across the sea in search of the Sun-Moon Continent.
• After three months, Yang Jian reached the continent and startled local fishermen, who mistook him for a god.
• Yang Jian studied the fishermen's speech and learned enough of the local language to converse with them within days.
• Yang Jian entered a coastal town and observed its unfamiliar buildings, writing, and clothing.
• Yang Jian ordered food from a street vendor, then realized that Gold Soul Coins were not used on the Sun-Moon Continent.

Yang Jian paid for food at a roadside stall by using Soul Power to reshape a Gold Soul Coin into a gold ingot, then ate while observing the unfamiliar town. After wandering away from the busy streets, he spotted several beggars in a gloomy alley.

• Yang Jian flattened a Gold Soul Coin into a gold ingot and placed it on the stall counter.
• The stall owner verified that the ingot was genuine gold and treated Yang Jian with great respect.
• Yang Jian ate the local street food and watched the bustling town around him.
• Yang Jian finished his meal and wandered away from the main road into the town's older, dimmer streets.
• Yang Jian entered a gloomy alley and saw several beggars huddled against a wall in tattered clothes.

Yang Jian explored a Sun-Moon Continent city and observed the hardship and lawlessness of its poorer residents. He discovered that Soul Tools were far more widespread and sophisticated there than on Douluo Continent, watching a craftsman assemble and activate one.

• Yang Jian passed beggars in an alley and watched a shop owner chase a middle-aged man who had stolen goods.
• Yang Jian saw a young man leave a roadside snack stall without paying, while the owner accepted the loss without pursuing him.

• Yang Jian noticed Soul Tool shops and workshops lining the streets, filled with finely crafted devices unlike the crude tools he knew.
• Yang Jian examined a metal plate that lit up when people approached, then watched a craftsman assemble a Soul Tool and activate it with Soul Power.

Yang Jian explored the Sun-Moon Continent and concluded that its Soul Tool technology and practical culture were far ahead of those of the Douluo Continent, though its technology had not yet reached the era of mass-produced war Soul Tools. After more than a month of wandering through towns, cities, and villages, he had gained a broad understanding of the continent and continued traveling without a fixed destination.

• Yang Jian visited dozens of Soul Tool shops and workshops, judged their technology superior to that of the Douluo Continent, and noted its limitations.
• At night, Yang Jian studied the unfamiliar stars above the town and continued exploring its streets.
• Yang Jian left the town and wandered across the Sun-Moon Continent without a planned route or destination.
• As he traveled, Yang Jian observed the continent's practical architecture, widespread Soul Tool industry, direct-speaking residents, and plain clothing.
• After more than a month, Yang Jian had crossed the region, visited dozens of towns and cities and over a hundred villages, and grasped the continent's basic conditions.

Yang Jian reached a vast city in the Sun-Moon Empire after learning about the imperial family's hidden strength. At the gates, he saw a wealthy young man forcing a poor girl to go with him, but he continued into the city without intervening.

• Yang Jian concluded that the Sun-Moon imperial family had several powerful Titled Douluo guarding its foundations.
• After more than ten days of travel, Yang Jian arrived at the gates of a huge city.
• Yang Jian saw an extravagantly dressed young man threaten a poor girl and grab her wrist over her family's debt.
• The bystanders avoided helping the girl, and Yang Jian continued toward the city gates without getting involved.

Yang Jian intervened when a frightened girl begged him to save her from the third prince of the Sun-Moon Empire. After Yang Jian killed the prince and his two Titled Douluo guards with casual gestures, city guards arrived at the gate.

• The girl broke free from the third prince and clung to Yang Jian's leg, begging him to save her from being taken away.
• The third prince threatened Yang Jian and reached for the girl, but Yang Jian sent him flying with a wave of his hand.
• The third prince's two guards attacked Yang Jian, who killed them both with a casual flick of each hand.
• The girl stared in shock at the three dead men and slowly released Yang Jian's trouser leg.
• More than twenty city guards rushed out of the city gate after hearing the commotion.

Yang Jian broke through the capital’s gate after killing the Third Prince and demanded that the Sun-Moon Empire’s emperor meet him. Three Worship Hall elders confronted him, but his pressure revealed that he was a Rank 98 Titled Douluo.

• Yang Jian repelled the city guards and destroyed the capital’s gate with a single punch, then told the stunned girl she could leave.
• Yang Jian flew toward the capital’s center, deciding to confront the imperial family rather than evade its pursuers.
• Yang Jian hovered above the city and called for the emperor to come out and meet him.
• Three Titled Douluo from the Worship Hall arrived to confront Yang Jian, and the Second Elder said he was not from the Sun-Moon Continent.
• Yang Jian released a heavy pressure that made the elders recognize him as a Rank 98 Titled Douluo.

Yang Jian confronted Xu Langya at the Sun-Moon Empire’s imperial palace and revealed that he had killed the emperor’s third prince. Xu Langya stopped his three elders from attacking while he assessed Yang Jian and weighed his options.

• The First Elder cautiously questioned Yang Jian, who demanded that the emperor appear and warned that the city would be destroyed if they delayed.
• The Third Elder summoned Xu Langya, the Sun-Moon Empire’s Rank 95 emperor, to meet Yang Jian.

• Yang Jian told Xu Langya that he had killed the third prince and had come to warn him not to pursue the matter.
• The three imperial elders summoned their martial souls and prepared to attack Yang Jian, but Xu Langya raised a hand to stop them and scrutinized his opponent.

Xu Langya offered to spare Yang Jian for the third prince’s death if he served the Sun-Moon Empire, but Yang Jian refused. Xu Langya and the three imperial elders attacked him together, leaving Yang Jian calm and motionless as their strikes closed in.

• Xu Langya weighed Yang Jian’s strength against the third prince’s uselessness and decided to recruit him rather than avenge the prince.
• Xu Langya offered to spare Yang Jian and asked him to serve the Sun-Moon Empire.
• Yang Jian rejected Xu Langya’s offer, exhausting the emperor’s remaining patience.
• Xu Langya unleashed his Purple Radiant Heaven-Extinguishing Dragon and attacked Yang Jian alongside the three imperial elders.
• Yang Jian remained still and composed as the four attacks converged on him.

Yang Jian endured Xu Langya and the three imperial elders’ combined attacks without injury, stunning them. Xu Langya and the elders then unleashed their full-strength ninth Soul Skills against him, and the chapter ended after their attacks engulfed him and the sea below returned to calm.

• Yang Jian invited Xu Langya to attack and withstood the combined assault of Xu Langya and the three elders without moving or suffering injury.
• Xu Langya and the three elders were stunned by Yang Jian’s resilience, and the elders withdrew their Martial Soul powers.
• Xu Langya retreated and used his strongest ninth Soul Skill while the three elders also unleashed their ninth Soul Skills at full power.
• Xu Langya and the elders combined their four attacks and struck Yang Jian, compressing the air and forcing the nearby sea into a depression.
• The attacks dissipated and the sea returned to calm, while Yang Jian’s condition remained unrevealed.

Yang Jian effortlessly defeated Xu Langya and the three imperial elders, then left the Sun-Moon Imperial City. He traveled across the Sun-Moon Continent, observing its people and injustices without intervening.

• Yang Jian withstood the four experts’ combined attack without injury, then knocked Xu Langya down with a casual punch and wounded the three elders with its aftershock.
• Yang Jian warned Xu Langya and the elders not to trouble him again, then flew away from the imperial city.

• Yang Jian watched the injustices he encountered without stepping in, treating them as passing scenes.

Yang Jian broke through to Peerless Douluo after three months of secluded cultivation, returned to Douluo Continent to see Zhu Zhuqing, his siblings, and Qian Renxue, then resumed training at Spirit Hall. His peace ended when the Asura God arrived with four First-Level Gods and demanded that Yang Jian come out and die.

• Yang Jian meditated in a hidden valley for three months until he shattered his Rank Ninety-Eight cultivation barrier and became a Peerless Douluo.

• Yang Jian traveled to the Heaven Dou Empire to meet Qian Renxue before returning to Spirit Hall to cultivate the Eight-Nine Mysteries.
• The Asura God and four First-Level Gods appeared above Spirit Hall, sealed the skies, and called on Yang Jian to come out and die.

Yang Jian confronted Asura God and four First-Level Gods, then followed them from Spirit City to the open sea to avoid harming civilians. After Yang Jian and Asura God clashed, the four gods launched a coordinated attack that surrounded him.

• Spirit City panicked at the sight of five gods, and Yang Jian rose to face them without fear.
• Yang Jian taunted Asura God and suggested they move the battle away from the city; Asura God agreed and led the gods out over the sea.
• Yang Jian summoned his Three-Point Double-Edged Saber and charged Asura God, whose Asura Demon Sword met the strike.
• The clash sent Asura God sliding backward and flattened the waves below them.
• The four First-Level Gods attacked Yang Jian together from four directions, using a spear, curved blade, warhammer, and bow to close off his escape routes.

Yang Jian evaded and endured the relentless coordinated attacks of the Asura God and four First-Level Gods, healing from the few wounds he sustained. The Asura God believed Yang Jian would eventually be worn down, then trapped him in a triangular net of sword light.

• Yang Jian calmly dodged attacks from the Curved Saber, warhammer, golden spear, and Wind-Pattern Arrow, and quickly healed a grazing wound.
• The Asura God launched another attack, and Yang Jian parried his Asura Demon Sword while evading the four First-Level Gods' coordinated strikes.
• Yang Jian blocked an arrow with the back of his hand as the four First-Level Gods accelerated their rotation of suppressing and surprise attacks.
• Yang Jian continued to keep pace with the assault, though faint pressure marks and small wounds appeared and healed across his body.
• The Asura God assumed Yang Jian would eventually be exhausted and struck out with three sword flashes that formed a triangular killing net around him.

Yang Jian used the five gods’ attacks to temper his body with the Eight-Nine Mysteries, then unleashed his full strength and overwhelmed them. He left the Asura God facing him after Yang Jian’s counterattacks wounded the other gods and shattered their assault.

• Yang Jian evaded the five gods’ initial attacks, then deliberately endured their blows to absorb their divine power and strengthen his body.
• The five gods intensified their attacks, but Yang Jian’s divine power surged, healed his wounds, and swallowed the forces surrounding him.
• Yang Jian’s horizontal saber slash shattered the hammer and severely injured the burly god, sending him crashing into the sea.
• The Asura God ordered the remaining gods to attack with everything, and they launched a combined assault against Yang Jian.
• Yang Jian blocked and reflected the gods’ attacks with his saber, injuring the Scimitar God, the golden-spear god, and the archer god while the Asura God watched in shock.

Yang Jian faced the exhausted Asura God and his four battered subordinates after defeating them in a brutal battle. The Asura God admitted Yang Jian had grown stronger, then claimed he had come to the lower realm a hundred times better prepared than before.

• Yang Jian stood steady with his Three-Point Double-Edged Saber while the Asura God and his four First-Level God subordinates struggled to recover.
• The Asura God recognized that Yang Jian was far stronger than during their previous encounter.
• Yang Jian ignored the Asura God's assessment and waited calmly for his next move.
• The Asura God erupted in anger and declared that he had come to the lower realm a hundred times better prepared than on his previous two visits.

The Asura God ordered four defeated First-Level Gods to transfer all their remaining divine power to him, restoring and strengthening him beyond his previous limits. Yang Jian let the transfer happen so he could face the Asura God at full strength, and the Asura God then vowed to kill him.

• The Asura God ordered the Spear God, Scimitar God, Great Hammer God, and Archer God to give him all their remaining divine power.
• The four First-Level Gods drained their bodies and divine origins and sent their power into the Asura God while Yang Jian watched without intervening.
• The Asura God recovered from his injuries as his divine power surged and transformed the surrounding battlefield.
• After adapting to his new strength, the Asura God told Yang Jian that allowing the transfer was the greatest mistake of his life and promised to cut him down.

Yang Jian cut down the four depleted First-Level Gods as they tried to escape, provoking the enraged Asura God. The Asura God unleashed his ultimate attack, Asura Slash, against Yang Jian.

• After completing his power enhancement, the Asura God watched as the drained Scimitar God, Great Hammer God, Spear God, and Archer God tried to retreat from the battlefield.
• Yang Jian told the four gods, "Don't leave," then appeared in front of them and struck them with his Three-Point Double-Edged Saber.

• The Asura God saw his four subordinates perish, lost his confidence, and became consumed by fury and killing intent.
• The Asura God swung his Asura Demon Sword and unleashed his ultimate killing move, Asura Slash, in a massive dark crimson sword beam.
