Chapter Summaries

Tianlin and his companions found the eighty-five-thousand-year-old Blue Silver King in a forest and prepared to hunt it. Tianlin stopped Chen Xin and negotiated a deal for the Blue Silver King to reach one hundred thousand years and later sacrifice itself to Ning Fengzhi, leaving the agreement accepted.

• Tianlin and Ning Fengzhi’s group learned from a village chief’s son that a plant-rich Soul Beast forest lay to the east, then flew there with Yin Yang.

• The Blue Silver King accepted Tianlin’s proposal and said the Supreme Goodness Power within him made his word trustworthy.

Tianlin arranged for the Blue Silver King to sacrifice itself to Ning Fengzhi, who gained a Hundred-Thousand-Year spirit ring and became Nine Treasure Douluo. The Blue Silver King survived as a seed in Tianlin’s care, and Ning Fengzhi revealed his new ninth spirit skill, Undying Body.

• Ning Fengzhi reached the peak of rank ninety-two, took the title Nine Treasure Douluo, and revealed his ninth spirit skill, Undying Body.

Ning Fengzhi revealed that his ninth soul skill granted one person an indefinite Undying Body, while Yin Yang gave Tianlin the Hundred Thousand Year Blue Silver Emperor soul bone. After absorbing it and gaining new powers, Tianlin joined the others as they set out to confront Tang Hao.

• Ning Fengzhi explained that his ninth soul skill made one recipient impossible to kill as long as his Soul Power lasted, though it could not stop god-level attacks.
• Ning Fengzhi and Tianlin offered Yin Yang the Blue Silver Emperor Left Arm Bone in recognition of his years of service to the sect.
• Yin Yang accepted the soul bone, then gave it to Tianlin, who absorbed it and advanced to level sixty-five.
• Tianlin gained the self-healing skill Wildfire Burns Endlessly, Spring Breeze Blows Life Again and the group-control skill Blue Silver Aura.
• Chen Xin and Ning Fengzhi resolved to make Tang Hao pay for threatening Chen Xin's brother, and the four flew out of the Blue Silver Forest.

Tang Hao trained Tang San by the waterfall when Tianlin and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect arrived to demand compensation for Tang Hao threatening Yin Yang. Tang Hao refused to surrender Ah Yin’s soul bone, and the two sides stood on the brink of a fight.

• Tang Hao taught Tang San to practice hammer techniques and worried that his progress and access to Clear Sky Sect techniques were insufficient.
• Tianlin, Ning Fengzhi, Chen Xin, and Yin Yang confronted Tang Hao and Tang San, with Chen Xin openly locking his sword intent onto Tang Hao.
• Ning Fengzhi said they had come to seek justice for Tang Hao threatening Yin Yang and forcing him to swear a Spirit Oath.
• Yin Yang said Tianlin had deduced what happened, and Tianlin demanded compensation for his grandfather’s oath.
• Tianlin asked Tang Hao to hand over Ah Yin’s Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone, but Tang Hao refused.
• Tang San urged both sides to let the matter go, and Tianlin warned that blood would be spilled unless Tang Hao gave them an explanation.

Tang Hao refused to surrender the soul bones demanded by Ning Fengzhi and fought the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, whose strength surprised him. As Tianlin and Chen Xin overwhelmed him, Tang Hao detonated four spirit rings and unleashed the Great Sumeru Hammer.

• Tang Hao shielded Tang San and threatened Ning Fengzhi, Chen Xin, Yin Yang, and Tianlin with his Divine Slaughter's Domain and Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Ring.
• Ning Fengzhi revealed that he had become a Titled Douluo with a Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, while Chen Xin used his domains and Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone to suppress Tang Hao.
• After Tang Hao refused Ning Fengzhi's demand for the Clear Sky School Inheritance Spirit Bones, Tianlin knocked Tang San unconscious and attacked alongside Chen Xin.
• Tianlin and Chen Xin's sword formations shattered Tang Hao's Clear Sky Body Protection, but Tang Hao escaped by detonating four spirit rings.
• Tang Hao unleashed the Great Sumeru Hammer without detonating his Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Ring.

Tianlin nullified Tang Hao’s Ring Detonation, and Ning Fengzhi negotiated compensation for Yin Yang while forbidding Tang Hao from harming innocents to obtain soul bones. Tang Hao accepted the conditions and agreed to return to the Clear Sky Sect, while Tang San woke unaware of the agreement and secretly vowed revenge on the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

• Tianlin’s Feng Shui Circulation formation suppressed Tang Hao’s Ring Detonation, allowing Chen Xin to repel him with ordinary swordplay.
• Tang Hao refused to surrender Ah Yin’s or the Clear Sky Sect’s inherited soul bones but agreed to compensate Yin Yang with soul bones totaling more than seventy thousand years within three years.
• Ning Fengzhi forbade Tang Hao from slaughtering soul beasts indiscriminately or harming innocent soul masters, and Tang Hao accepted the terms without taking a Spirit Oath.
• Ning Fengzhi urged Tang Hao to return to the Clear Sky Sect and help it emerge from hiding, and Tang Hao agreed before the group departed.
• Tang Hao searched Tang San for signs that someone had tampered with him but found nothing, then concealed the agreement when Tang San woke.
• Tang San inferred that Tang Hao had compromised with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and secretly vowed to settle the debt, while envying their Hundred-Thousand-Year Spirit Rings.

Ning Fengzhi explained how he planned to make Tang Hao deliver seventy thousand years’ worth of Soul Bones, while hinting that he intended to demand more later. After Tianlin fled toward Sunset Forest, Ning Fengzhi told Chen Xin that Tianlin’s lack of strategic foresight and reluctance to kill could endanger his goal of unifying the continent.

• Ning Fengzhi explained that Tang Hao would be more likely to deliver a practical demand of seventy thousand years’ worth of Soul Bones than risk gathering a hundred thousand and receiving nothing in return.
• Ning Fengzhi revealed that Tai Long possessed a thirty-five-thousand-year Thousand Jun Ant Emperor Right Arm Bone and that a future blacksmith competition in Gengxin City could provide another Soul Bone for Tang Hao to obtain.
• Ning Fengzhi told Tianlin he would later make Tang Hao pay another sixty thousand years as interest, and Tianlin worried that Ning Fengzhi remembered his earlier deception.
• Tianlin hurried toward the Ice Fire Yin Yang Well to fulfill his promise to the Blue Silver King, while Chen Xin observed that Ning Fengzhi had frightened him.
• Ning Fengzhi told Chen Xin that Tianlin needed to learn to scheme and become more ruthless because his mercy toward enemies could undermine his ambition to unite the continent.

Tianlin planted the Blue Silver King at the Ice Fire Yin Yang Well and discovered that his cultivation had slowed as he approached level seventy. Back at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, he found Qin Ming pushing Ning Rongrong, Ma Hongjun, Oscar, and Meng Yiran through demanding combat training.

• Tianlin used Holy Breath Healing to help the Blue Silver King recover and grow at the Ice Fire Yin Yang Well.
• Tianlin found that his ultimate attributes had slowed his Soul Power growth, making it unlikely he would reach level seventy before the Soul Hunting Operation.
• Tianlin returned to the sect and found Qin Ming training Ma Hongjun, Ning Rongrong, Oscar, and Meng Yiran with tailored exercises.
• Ma Hongjun begged Tianlin to remove his Flame Right Arm Spirit Bone to escape Qin Ming's training, but Tianlin told him he would have to wait until level ninety.
• Tianlin praised Qin Ming's training and urged Ning Rongrong to work hard as the future sect master.

Tianlin realized that a divine inheritance could help him grow stronger quickly and decided to seek the trials in Slaughter City, despite Ning Rongrong’s fears. When they reached the Seven Treasure Great Hall, Ning Fengzhi said that he and the four Titled Douluo had been debating a matter concerning Tianlin and left the decision to him.

• Tianlin worried that his Soul Power and swordsmanship had reached a bottleneck, and Ma Hongjun and Gu Ran offered to help.
• Tianlin realized that pursuing a Divine Throne Inheritance was the quickest way to gain strength and hurried to the Seven Treasure Great Hall with Ning Rongrong.
• Tianlin told Ning Rongrong that he wanted to go to Slaughter City, but she refused to support the dangerous plan.
• Tianlin cited Bibi Dong and Tang Hao as proof that people could emerge from Slaughter City stronger, then continued with Ning Rongrong to the hall.
• Ning Fengzhi told Tianlin that he and the four Titled Douluo had disagreed over a matter concerning him and asked him to decide for himself.

Tianlin asked the elders to let him train in Slaughter City, seeking the Asura God's inheritance and a way to become stronger. They approved his two-year journey, while the Descendant of Nüwa revealed that inheriting the Asura God's throne would help him unlock the Holy Spirit Pearl's greater inheritance.

• Gu Rong and Dugu Bo objected to sending Tianlin to Slaughter City, but Tianlin said he already planned to go and needed to grow stronger quickly.
• Ning Fengzhi, Gu Rong, Yin Yang, and Dugu Bo accepted Tianlin's decision, and Chen Xin gave him two years to return with the Divine Slaughter's Domain.
• Tianlin spent the night with Ning Rongrong before leaving for Slaughter City.
• Tianlin explained to Sky Dream Ice Silkworm that the Asura God was the only available divine successor he could pursue.
• The Descendant of Nüwa told Sky Dream Ice Silkworm that the Asura inheritance would help Tianlin unlock the Holy Spirit Pearl's Divine Throne, and promised Sky Dream a companion divine beast position equal to a Level One God.

Tianlin secretly left the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect for Slaughter City, accepting Dugu Bo’s Dan Pearl before setting out. At a tavern near the city, he killed an attacker and forced the patrons to tear apart the waiter, then demanded passage to Slaughter City.

• Tianlin left Ning Rongrong sleeping and departed without telling his family, Qian Renxue, or his other companions.
• Dugu Bo gave Tianlin his Dan Pearl to protect him from poison, despite Tianlin realizing that using it in an emergency could cost Dugu Bo half his strength.

• When the waiter refused to open the way without a cup of Bloody Mary, Tianlin threw him among the blood-drinking patrons, who tore him apart.

Tianlin used the Holy Spirit Pearl and Demon Sword together to control his killing intent and grow stronger in Slaughter City, where he adapted to the arena and faced Hu Liena. During his fifteenth match, he began cutting through nine Soul Saints with his superior swordsmanship and movement techniques.

• After killing nearly a hundred Soul Masters, Tianlin used the Holy Spirit Pearl and Holy Spirit Domain to restrain his killing intent and protect his mind from Slaughter City's poison and evil thoughts.
• Sky Dream Ice Silkworm explained that the Demon Sword could absorb the fighting spirit, resentment, and hatred of the dead, while the Holy Spirit Pearl could cleanse the resulting corruption; Tianlin expanded his Demon Suppression Domain and confirmed he could use Soul Skills within it.
• Over two months, Tianlin adapted to Slaughter City and won fourteen consecutive Hell Slaughter Arena matches while keeping his killing intent under control.
• Hu Liena arrived in Slaughter City, recognized Tianlin, and treated him as an enemy; she earned the nickname Hellbringer through her dagger attacks and consecutive victories.
• During Tianlin's fifteenth match, nine Soul Saints attacked him from different directions, but he used Drunken Immortal Gazing at the Moon Step and the Seven Kill Swordplay to evade them and strike one opponent down.

Tianlin broke a trap set by nine Soul Saints, awakened the beginner stage of his Seven Kill Sword Dao, and claimed a soul bone for Gu Ran. A year and a half later, he had won eighty-two consecutive matches and become known as Sword Dao Asura, while Hu Liena reached seventy-seven victories and plotted to use him on the Hell Road.

• Nine Soul Saints lured Tianlin toward the arena’s magma, and one used a Soul Locking Chain to restrain him.

• After a year and a half, Tianlin had eighty-two consecutive victories and the nickname Sword Dao Asura, while Hu Liena had seventy-seven.
• Tianlin concluded that Tang San would not arrive for at least another two years because his cultivation and Blue Silver Grass awakening had been delayed.

Tianlin and Hu Liena reached ninety-nine victories in Slaughter City as the Slaughter King schemed to make them attempt the Hell Road together and kill each other. Hu Liena proposed an alliance, but Tianlin saw through her hidden plan and accepted while preparing to counter her.

• The Veiled Woman warned the Slaughter King that Sword Dao Asura’s swordsmanship had become deadly, and he arranged the contestants’ schedules so Tianlin and Hu Liena would reach one hundred victories together.

• After Hu Liena left, Tianlin concluded she had no intention of helping him escape and resolved to outscheme her.

Tianlin and Hu Liena each achieved a hundred victories in the Hell Slaughter Arena, forcing the Slaughter King to let them challenge Hell Road together. After he sacrificed the arena’s spectators to open the path, they awoke on its starting platform.

• A powerful suction force swallowed Tianlin and Hu Liena, and they regained consciousness on a small circular platform at the start of Hell Road.

Tianlin and Hu Liena began crossing Hell Road, where they fought through a swarm of blood bats and confronted a mutated Dark Gold Three-Headed Bat King. As the monster tried to destroy their path, Hu Liena struck at it with Enchanting Shadow Divine Light.

• Hu Liena used Enchanting Shadow Divine Light to interrupt the Bat King’s attack.

Tianlin and Hu Liena turned against each other on Hell Road after Hu Liena seized control of the Three-Headed Bat King and tried to abandon Tianlin. Tianlin took control of the Bat King in turn, and his final strike pierced both it and Hu Liena, while Bibi Dong grew uneasy at her absence.

• Hu Liena weakened the Three-Headed Bat King's soul with repeated mental attacks, then charmed it and ordered it to attack Tianlin.
