Chapter Summaries

Xu Yuan secured five tons of Change Silver from the Star Luo Continent's Forging Master Association in exchange for high-quality Jade Silver. Meanwhile, Yun Ming's three-month stay on the Star Luo Continent alarmed the Federation, which convened an urgent meeting.

• Lin Yu Han told Chang Gong Yan that Xu Yuan wanted five tons of Change Silver and offered Thousand Refined First Grade Fusion Forged Jade Silver at a premium.
• Chang Gong Yan approved the deal in principle, reasoning that the Jade Silver would benefit the association, and submitted an application to the Star Luo Imperial Family.
• Xu Yuan gave Lin Yu Han two Storage Rings filled with Jade Silver, including pieces with fusion rates near ninety percent, and exchanged forging ideas with her.
• Two and a half days later, Lin Yu Han delivered five tons of Change Silver to Xu Yuan after the application was approved.
• The Federation urgently convened a meeting in Mingdu after Yun Ming had spent three months on the Star Luo Continent.

The Federation Council debated Yun Ming’s conspicuous visit to Star Luo Continent and whether Shrek was challenging the Federation’s plans. Chen Xinjie ordered the Federation to wait for Shrek to explain its demands, leaving the Speakers uneasy about what had provoked Shrek.

• A Hawk Faction member condemned Yun Ming’s visit, while Dove Faction members questioned whether the Federation could restrict his freedom.
• A Parliament member called for Shrek to be reformed, prompting sharp looks from members with Shrek ties.
• Speaker Zhang Zhongli asked Dragon Old whether Shrek had betrayed the Federation, and Dragon Old said Yun Ming had accompanied academy students on an exchange.
• The Federation Council meeting ended without progress, and the remaining Speakers debated Yun Ming’s actions and Shrek’s silence.
• Chen Xinjie told the Speakers to wait for Shrek to provide a reason or make demands, and the Federation accepted that as its response.

Chen Xinjie warned the Federation Council that its actions against Shrek would be investigated, while Yun Ming used the crisis to pressure the Federation from the Star Luo Continent. Meanwhile, Shrek’s elders requested a closer investigation into Tang Wulin, and Xu Yuan continued collecting rare metals as Mu Ye prepared to cultivate in seclusion.

• Chen Xinjie urged the councilors to await Shrek’s response and warned five of them that they would face an investigation under Federation regulations.
• Dragon Old reported to the Sea God Pavilion that the Parliament had taken the matter seriously, and the elders discussed Yun Ming’s actions and his potential acquisition of Dragon Valley.
• Ya Li told the Pavilion Elders that Yun Ming had requested a deeper investigation into Tang Wulin’s background, and Zhuo Shi volunteered to handle it.
• Xu Yuan collected rare metals across the Star Luo Continent and returned to Five Elements Lake with Mu Ye after a month.
• Mu Ye told Xu Yuan that he would cultivate in seclusion at a place he had found, hoping to break through his limit.

Xu Yuan asked En Ci how he had nurtured Soul Forged Metal into Four-Word Dou Armor, hoping the method would help him understand Heavenly Forging. En Ci explained that Dragon Valley’s Dragon Souls had tempered his armor until he touched the small world’s laws, leaving Xu Yuan wondering where the Holy Spirit Cult’s Evil Soul Masters had gained similar recognition.

• Xu Yuan asked En Ci to explain how he had nurtured his Four-Word Dou Armor, and En Ci agreed in exchange for Xu Yuan forging Heaven Forged Metal for Long Yue in the future.
• En Ci recalled that his Radiant Saint Dragon Martial Soul had evolved after he received a True Dragon legacy in Dragon Valley.
• En Ci said that Dragon Cloud Dragon Souls had tempered him and his Dou Armor for more than two years until he merged with Dragon Valley, touched its laws, and underwent the Elemental Lightning Tribulation.
• Xu Yuan concluded that En Ci’s Heavenly Forging had been enabled by Dragon Valley’s laws and wondered where the Holy Spirit Cult’s Evil Soul Masters had gained the laws’ recognition.

En Ci explained how Super Douluos deepen their fusion with their Martial Souls and how developing a Martial Soul’s characteristics can open the path to Ultimate Douluo. Xu Yuan and Mu Ye realized that a breakthrough might also transform Battle Armor or Mechas, but En Ci warned that his method depended on his own path and would not suit everyone.

• Xu Yuan asked En Ci to explain his method of nurturing, and En Ci described Super Douluo cultivation as harvesting the fruits of Martial Soul fusion.
• En Ci explained that perfect fusion was theoretically impossible without developing new Martial Soul characteristics to bridge the remaining gaps.
• En Ci revealed that he synchronized his Martial Soul’s transformation with the transformation of his Battle Armor’s Soul Forged Metal.
• Xu Yuan and Mu Ye realized that a similar breakthrough might allow Mu Ye’s Mecha to become a true God-level Mecha made from Heavenly Forged metal.
• En Ci explained that his path involved becoming a Dragon King and warned that Long Yue, whose Martial Soul was already a Dragon King, might not be able to follow it.

Mu Ye and Xu Yuan considered how En Ci had linked Battle Armor cultivation with breaking through personal limits, and Mu Ye planned to have Grandmartial Uncle test a similar path. Later, Yun Ming told Xu Yuan that Tong Yu had killed Tang Wulin’s adoptive father’s family, and Xu Yuan accepted that the revelation could strain his relationship with Tang Wulin before asking Yun Ming for help with something else.

• Mu Ye realized En Ci’s Battle Armor breakthrough method could suit Body Martial Souls and decided Grandmartial Uncle should try it first.
• Xu Yuan and Mu Ye agreed to improve Little Red to the limit of Soul Forging, and Mu Ye planned to ask Zhen Hua for help.
• Mu Ye decided to give Hu Jie the place he had intended to use for seclusion.
• Yun Ming visited Xu Yuan at Five Elements Lake and recognized Tong Yu, whom he had fought years earlier.
• Yun Ming revealed that Tong Yu had killed Tang Ziran’s family, making Tang Ziran Tang Wulin’s adoptive father, and Xu Yuan said he would face the consequences when Tang Wulin learned the truth.
• Xu Yuan changed the subject and asked Yun Ming for help with another matter.

Xu Yuan asked Yun Ming to help resolve Yuanen Yehui’s Demon Plane problem, then proposed using the Demon Gate to establish a training foothold in the Demon Plane so he could advance his Forbidden Arts Seven Absolutes. As Xu Yuan prepared to return to the continent, Tong Yu gave him a portion of Five Elements Essence, and Tong Yu’s breakthrough to the Spirit Domain Realm remained imminent.

• Xu Yuan asked Yun Ming to open Yuanen Yehui’s Demon Gate early and deal with the Demon Plane before she reached Titled Douluo rank.
• Xu Yuan explained that he wanted Shrek to establish an anchor point in the Demon Plane for student training, since his Forbidden Arts Seven Absolutes had progressed faster in Dragon Valley.
• Yun Ming agreed to tell Sea God Pavilion to prepare a plan to conquer the Demon Plane, while leaving the Tang Sect’s involvement for later discussion.
• After two months at Five Elements Lake, Xu Yuan went to say goodbye to Tong Yu, whose Spiritual Power was nearing the Spirit Domain Realm.
• Tong Yu gave Xu Yuan a sphere of Five Elements Essence containing his Bloodline Power and the inheritance of Five Elements Power.

Xu Yuan received Five Elements Essence from Tong Yu before the Federation delegation returned to Shrek Academy. During the three-month voyage, Xu Yuan trained by enduring the ocean’s force, and the students returned with greatly improved Soul Power ranks.

• Tong Yu gave Xu Yuan a portion of Five Elements Essence, then prepared to enter seclusion and attempt a breakthrough into the Spirit Domain Realm.
• Xu Yuan, Yun Ming, and Mu Ye returned to the delegation, which boarded an ocean liner after the exchange event concluded.
• Xu Yuan reached Rank 59 and spent the return voyage training by letting the ocean batter his body while the liner pulled him forward.
• Tang Wulin joined Xu Yuan’s sea-surface training about a month into the voyage.
• The Shrek students returned to the academy, where Wu Siduo had reached Rank 49, Ye Xinglan Rank 47, Fang Yuan Rank 45, Xu Lizhi Rank 43, and Tang Wulin Rank 47.

After the Star Luo Continent competition, Cai Yue'er rewarded the nine students with a Sea God Pavilion cultivation session, where Xu Yuan warned several of them to seek direction for their future paths. Soon after they entered secluded chambers, a huge Energy Tide swept through the pavilion, and the Elders discovered Tang Wulin was draining the Golden Ancient Tree's power again.

• Cai Yue'er praised the students' performance and considered which of them might become Shrek Seven Devils before rewarding all nine with a Sea God Pavilion cultivation session.
• Xu Yuan told Wu Siduo, Yuanen Yehui, and Yue Zhengyu that the session could help them cross their bottlenecks, but urged them to focus on understanding their future paths rather than rushing to break through.
• Xu Yuan and the others entered secluded cultivation chambers, while Yun Ming and the Pavilion Elders waited in the meeting hall.
• A massive Energy Tide surged through the Sea God Pavilion less than a quarter of an hour later, recalling the previous time Xu Yuan had drawn heavily on the Golden Ancient Tree.
• The Pavilion Elders realized Xu Yuan was not causing the drain and found that Tang Wulin's chamber was the source.

Tang Wulin absorbed a vast amount of the Golden Ancient Tree’s power and broke through to Soul Power Level 50, while Yun Ming realized the God Realm had vanished long ago and time had been distorted. Xu Yuan sensed that Tang Wulin’s succession as Child of Nature would require the Golden Ancient Tree—and Shrek City—to be sacrificed, and the chapter ended with Tang Wulin waking to find the Pavilion Elders gathered around him.

• The Pavilion Elders watched the Golden Ancient Tree pour power into Tang Wulin’s chamber, and Yun Ming concluded that Tang Wulin’s arrival on Douluo Continent was tied to the God Realm’s disappearance and spacetime turbulence.
• Xu Yuan woke from his secluded cultivation and sensed that the Golden Ancient Tree had to die for Tang Wulin to become the new Child of Nature and free Ah Yin to be reborn as the Plane Core.
• Xu Yuan realized that destroying the Golden Ancient Tree would sacrifice Shrek City, enable the Holy Spirit Cult’s soul-harvesting formation, and help the Demon Empress become a vessel for the Abyss Lord.
• Xu Yuan worried that his teacher might not have located the God-Slaying Missile, then returned to meditation to clear his mind.
• After three days of absorbing the Golden Ancient Tree’s power, Tang Wulin broke through from Soul Power Level 47 to Level 50 and received a green-gold Fifth Soul Ring.
• Tang Wulin opened his eyes to find the Pavilion Elders gathered around him, and Zhuo Shi asked what had happened.

Tang Wulin tested the Fifth Soul Skill he gained from the Golden Ancient Tree, while Xu Yuan received Tree Elder’s demand to reach God Level within ten years. Xu Yuan began weighing how his breakthrough could drive the Douluo Plane’s evolution.

• Yun Ming questioned Tang Wulin about the Golden Ancient Tree’s power and asked him to demonstrate his Fifth Soul Skill.
• Tang Wulin’s Soul Skill released green light that entered the Pavilion Elders and extended Long Yeyue’s lifespan by at least ten years.
• Yun Ming supplied Tang Wulin with Soul Power and told him to activate the skill again so they could discover its true effect.
• Xu Yuan encountered Tree Elder in the Golden Ancient Tree’s space, where Tree Elder urged him to become a True God within ten years.
• Xu Yuan reasoned that Tree Elder wanted him to break the level ninety-nine limit and help the Douluo Plane evolve from within.

Xu Yuan realized the Abyss had drained the Douluo Plane’s power, preventing its strongest cultivators from safely ascending to God Level, and resolved to become the hope for its future. As he cultivated in the Golden Ancient Tree’s Willpower Space, he developed a new Seal Rune, and his Soul Rings began to transform as another ring formed.

• Xu Yuan concluded that the Douluo Plane’s depleted foundation, especially its losses to the Abyss, kept Yun Ming, Cao Dezhi, Chen Xinjie, and Zhang Huanyun from daring to break through to God Level.
• Xu Yuan recalled Tree Elder’s words, decided that he could offer the plane a different path forward, and sensed how the Golden Ancient Tree connected him to heaven and earth.
• Xu Yuan cultivated the Seal Technique of Forbidden Arts Seven Absolutes, prompting Tree Elder to notice that he was forming a Seal Array incorporating Will, Essence, Qi, Spirit, and the Power of Heaven and Earth.
• Tang Wulin lamented that his Child of Nature Soul Skill was difficult to control, while Yun Ming sensed Xu Yuan’s breakthrough and entered his secret chamber using Space Power.
• Xu Yuan summoned the Heaven Origin Brush and his scroll Soul Spirit, placed the evolving Seal Rune on the scroll, and watched three of his Purple Soul Rings turn black as a new Soul Ring began to condense.

Xu Yuan condensed his Seal Rune into a fifth Soul Ring for his Heaven Origin Brush Martial Soul, impressing Yun Ming with its unusual link to heaven and earth. He explained that the ring could grow alongside his insights and strengthen his Essence, Qi, and Spirit, and Yun Ming asked whether the method could be replicated.

• Yun Ming watched Xu Yuan's fifth Soul Ring form from the Seal Rune and realized it was not bestowed by the Paper Soul Spirit.
• Xu Yuan explained how he fused Essence, Qi, and Spirit through his will to create a Heaven and Earth Rune, using a Soul Ring as its foundation.
• Xu Yuan demonstrated the Seal Soul Ring and its sealing ability, which Yun Ming recognized as related to the Forbidden Arts Seven Absolutes.
• Xu Yuan said the Soul Ring made comprehending sealing laws more than twice as easy and could grow in age through feedback from heaven and earth.
• Yun Ming accepted Xu Yuan's explanation and asked whether the rune could be replicated.

Xu Yuan explained to Yun Ming that Heaven and Earth Runes could be condensed through Soul Rings and said his growing strength would soon surpass Tang Wulin's stalled progress. After Yun Ming gave him three months to finish his One-Word Dou Armor, Cai Yue'er gathered the nine students and noted their gains, though Wu Siduo, Yuanen Yehui, and Yue Zhengyu were troubled to learn Tang Wulin had also reached Level 50.

• Xu Yuan told Yun Ming that condensing Heaven and Earth Runes required willpower, an understanding of laws, and Soul Rings, but did not require an empty Soul Ring slot.
• Yun Ming urged Xu Yuan to focus on his own cultivation and warned that Tang Wulin had reached Level 50 and was close to catching up in Soul Power.
• Xu Yuan explained that Tang Wulin's strength would stagnate while he completed his Dou Armor, condensed a Soul Core, and gained more Heaven and Earth Runes.
• Xu Yuan said his One-Word Dou Armor lacked only three parts, including a helmet that required perfect-alloy Fusion Forging, and Yun Ming gave him three months to finish it.
• Cai Yue'er gathered nine students and reported that seven had gained an average of one Soul Power level, while Wu Siduo, Yuanen Yehui, and Yue Zhengyu had all reached Level 50.
• Wu Siduo, Yuanen Yehui, and Yue Zhengyu were displeased to learn Tang Wulin had also reached Level 50.

Cai Yue'er announced that Tang Wulin, Yuanen Yehui, Yue Zhengyu, Wu Siduo, Xu Lizhi, Xu Yuan, and two others would jointly hold the title of Shrek Seven Devils, with a three-month assessment to determine their rankings. After warning them to stay in the Inner Courtyard, she left Xu Yuan to suspect the academy knew the God-Slaying Missile had been stolen, and he began planning his breakthrough to Soul Emperor.

• Cai Yue'er explained how Shrek selected its Seven Devils and excluded Gu Yue from the candidates.
• Cai Yue'er announced that all eight remaining students would jointly become the Shrek Seven Devils, and Ya Li said a three-month assessment would determine their rankings.
• Cai Yue'er ordered the students to remain in the Inner Courtyard unless they received permission to leave.
• Xu Yuan suspected Shrek Academy knew the God-Slaying Missile had been stolen and wondered whether his father had uncovered Qian Gu Dongfeng's collusion with the Holy Spirit Cult.
• Xu Yuan entered seclusion and planned to use the Five Elements Pearl to repair his Martial Soul's Origin, condense a Soul Core, and reach Soul Emperor.

Yun Ming attacked Dong Zi'an at Demon Suppression Pass, demanding that Chen Xinjie explain why the investigation into Eternal Heaven Kingdom had dragged on. Chen Xinjie stopped the fight, but Yun Ming threatened war unless the Federation handed over Eternal Heaven Kingdom.

• Dong Zi'an flew into a rage after learning Chen Xinjie had requested an investigation into his actions.
• Yun Ming arrived at Western Legion headquarters, armed his Sky Piercing Spear and Four-Word Dou Armor, and attacked Dong Zi'an.
• Yun Ming sealed the surrounding space and drove Dong Zi'an toward the ground as Dong Zi'an accused Chen Xinjie of conspiring with Shrek to kill him.
• Chen Xinjie intervened and asked Yun Ming to stop, freeing Dong Zi'an from the spear's flight-restricting effect.
• Yun Ming confronted Chen Xinjie over his broken promise to produce results in three months and demanded that the Federation hand over Eternal Heaven Kingdom or face war.

Yun Ming demanded that the Federation hand Shrek the Eternal Heaven Kingdom after revealing that two God-Slaying Missiles had gone missing. He warned that one might strike Shrek or the Tang Sect, and Zang Xin learned that the danger could reach Tang Sect headquarters at any moment.

• Dong Zi'an realized the Federation suspected him of involvement in the missing God-Slaying Missiles, and Chen Xinjie took him away for investigation.
• Yun Ming blocked Chen Xinjie and demanded the Eternal Heaven Kingdom, giving the Federation three days to comply or face its explosion above Shrek.
• Yun Ming returned to Shrek Academy and told Dragon Old to attend the Parliament meeting to pressure the Federation.
• Ya Li told Yun Ming that Zang Xin had arrived at Tang Sect headquarters and would come to Shrek soon.
• Zang Xin noticed that the Golden Ancient Tree had lost nearly half its power, and Ya Li explained that two juniors had absorbed it.
• Yun Ming told Zang Xin that a God-Slaying Missile could appear above Tang Sect headquarters and Shrek Academy at any moment.

Yun Ming learned that a stolen God-Slaying Missile had been intended for Shrek and the Tang Sect, and discussed how to protect Shrek City with Zang Xin. The chapter left Zang Xin returning to investigate Tang Sect defenses while Yun Ming asked Ya Li and Sister Yue to advance Xiao Yuan's Linkage Technology toward Four-Word Dou Armor.

• Zang Xin realized the God-Slaying Missile was missing, and Yun Ming confirmed Shrek and the Tang Sect had been its original targets.
• Yun Ming explained that his recent appearances had warned the Federation and helped deter the Spirit Pagoda and Holy Spirit Cult from attacking while his whereabouts were uncertain.
• Zang Xin revealed that the Tang Sect's Ultra-Concentrated Soul Guidance Array Defense System was nearing completion but still needed at least five years of development.
• Yun Ming asked Zang Xin to ensure the defense system could protect all of Shrek City, and Zang Xin returned to investigate the Tang Sect's technology.
• Yun Ming told Ya Li and Sister Yue to perfect Xiao Yuan's Linkage Technology and develop it toward Four-Word Dou Armor.

Yun Ming left Shrek to draw the Holy Spirit Cult’s attention while the academy prepared defenses against the missing God-Slaying Missiles. At Parliament, Dragon Old demanded that the Federation transfer Eternal Heaven Kingdom to Shrek, leaving the parliamentarians to decide whether to agree or object.

• Yun Ming embraced Ya Li, announced that he would travel the continent for three months, and departed Shrek.
• Ya Li directed the academy’s Ninth Grade Mecha Designers to develop Xu Yuan’s Battle Armor linkage technology as quickly as possible.
• Dragon Old confronted the parliamentarians as Chen Xinjie revealed that two of the Federation’s three God-Slaying Missiles had gone missing.
• Chen Xinjie said Yun Ming had called for Parliament to hand Eternal Heaven Kingdom to Shrek.
• Dragon Old declared that Shrek wanted to take custody of Eternal Heaven Kingdom and demanded to know who agreed and who objected.

Dragon Old demanded that the Federation hand Shrek the remaining God-Slaying Missile, revealing that Shrek had confirmed the weapons were lost and that Chen Xinjie knew of it. The confrontation escalated when Dragon Old attacked a Spirit Pagoda councilor, leaving Li Yong badly injured before Chen Xinjie stopped the council chamber’s defenses.

• The councilors hesitated to oppose Dragon Old until Zhang Zhongli declared that the Federation could not hand its last God-Slaying Missile to Shrek.
• Dragon Old explained that Yun Ming had confirmed the missiles were lost and warned that Shrek would make those responsible pay.
• The councilors realized Chen Xinjie had learned of the loss before they did, and Chen Xinjie worried that Shrek’s disclosure would make him seem like its ally.
• A Spirit Pagoda councilor accused Shrek and Chen Xinjie of stealing the missiles and framing others, prompting Dragon Old to strike him with a dragon roar and Dragon Breath.
• The council chamber’s defenses attacked Dragon Old, but Chen Xinjie halted the next barrage, and Dragon Old addressed the injured councilor as Li Yong.
