Chapter Summaries

Tianlin revived Hu Liena after killing her and used his abilities to alter her memories and make her eternally loyal to him. He planned to use her position in Spirit Hall to gather information and eventually help Qian Renxue claim the papacy, then continued through Hell Road with her and the controlled Bat King.

• Tianlin decided Hu Liena's death would provoke Bibi Dong, so he used the Holy Spirit Pearl to revive her at the cost of one Soul Power level.
• Before Hu Liena awakened, Tianlin altered her memories so she believed the Bat King had killed her and used Eternal Mind Control to make her loyal to him.

• Tianlin told Hu Liena to hide her loyalty and led her onward through Hell Road while his control over the Bat King lasted.

Tianlin and Hu Liena defeated the Ten Headed Fierce Yang Serpent and cleared Hell Road’s final trial. They reached the exit, carrying the serpent’s inner core and the end of their two-year ordeal.

After Hu Liena left Slaughter City with the Divine Slaughter's Domain, Tianlin entered the domain's baptism and awakened the Asura God's attention. The Asura God recognized Tianlin as a native soul reborn on the continent and noted that he had inherited the domain.

• Tianlin learned from Hu Liena that Spirit Hall had moved up the Soul Hunting Operation and that the Worship Hall would take part, then ordered her to report its confirmed date.

• Xue Qinghe confronted Tianlin about vanishing for two years and told him to return to the East Palace afterward to explain everything.

Tianlin learned that Heaven Dou City’s court had split between Xue Qinghe and Xue Beng, who had risen to nearly Soul Emperor level and gained the backing of a mysterious Titled Douluo and Tang San. After Xue Qinghe warned him not to investigate recklessly, Tianlin left, as an uninvited guest arrived at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

• Tianlin reassured Xue Qinghe that he would keep his distance from Hu Liena.

• Tianlin left Xue Qinghe, while an uninvited guest arrived at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

• Tianlin returned to the sect, where Ning Rongrong escorted him to meet a mysterious visitor in the Main Hall.
• Tang Hao revealed himself and presented three soul bones, fulfilling his promise to Tianlin and settling his past grievances with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

• Tianlin vowed to find those responsible and punish them for killing civilians.
• Ning Fengzhi ordered Yin Yang to alert Marshal Ge Long and investigate the Heaven Dou border to prevent further deaths.

After Tang Hao delivered the soul bone, Tianlin wanted to investigate deaths near the border, but Ning Fengzhi ordered him to focus on cultivation and the coming Soul Hunting Operation. Chen Xin later helped Tianlin reconsider his seventh Soul Ring, leaving him to suspect the Asura God Test was meant to lead him to the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear’s metal attribute.

• Tianlin tried to fly to the villages Tang Hao had mentioned, but Ning Fengzhi stopped him and arranged for Gu Rong to investigate instead.

• Tianlin told Chen Xin he was worried about completing the second Asura God Test, and Chen Xin advised him to choose a seventh Soul Ring that strengthened his sword’s sharpness.
• Tianlin concluded that the test might require him to avenge Brother Sky Dream by absorbing the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear’s metal-attribute Soul Ring.

Tianlin worked out a plan to defeat the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear and withstand its Soul Ring, then began preparing for the hunt. After Osler returned from following a suspect, he reported that he had found the Clear Sky Sect.

• Chen Xin urged Tianlin to use both strength and wisdom to face the Asura God's trial, and Tianlin realized his resources could form a plan against the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear.

• Osler returned with Yu Feng and Huan Yin and told Tianlin that the person he had followed had led him to the Clear Sky Sect.

Osler told Tianlin how he had discovered the Clear Sky Sect’s hidden village, and Tianlin decided not to provoke the sect for now. Yu Feng revealed that his mother came from the Speed Clan and began explaining his family’s ties to its struggles.

• Osler explained that his Leopard Shadow Clone had entered the village and been dispersed by a Clear Sky Hammer guard, revealing the Clear Sky Sect’s location.
• Tianlin warned Osler that the Clear Sky Sect had more Titled Douluo than the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect appeared to have, and Osler agreed to stay out of the conflict.
• Tianlin suspected Qian Renxue had also learned the Clear Sky Sect’s location and hoped Spirit Hall would focus on it while the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect developed.
• Yu Feng condemned the Clear Sky Sect, and Tianlin guessed that Yu Feng was connected to the Speed Clan.
• Yu Feng confirmed that his mother was a collateral disciple of the Speed Clan and explained that his father had been unable to support the clan financially.

Yu Feng explained that the Speed Clan was struggling financially after Spirit Hall's recruitment attempt drove away its supporters, so Tianlin and Ning Rongrong gave him two million Gold Soul Coins to help his family. Tianlin expected Spirit Hall to pressure the clan again and hoped the crisis would eventually give him a chance to recruit the Breaking Clan.

• Yu Feng told Tianlin that Spirit Hall's recruitment offer and the Speed Clan's rejection had cost the clan much of its outside support, while the Breaking Clan had long helped it survive.
• Tianlin reasoned that Spirit Hall's recruitment efforts were part of its broader plan to bring sects under its control after the Soul Hunting Operation.
• Tianlin asked Ning Rongrong to lend Yu Feng money, and she gave Huan Yin a card containing two million Gold Soul Coins.
• Osler asked whether the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was recruiting, but Tianlin told him his family ties to the Heaven Dou Empire would prevent him from joining.
• Yu Feng promised to repay the money and hurried off with Huan Yin to tell Bai He about the aid.
• Tianlin told Ning Rongrong that he had helped Yu Feng as a friend and hoped the Speed Clan's future difficulties would let him approach the Breaking Clan.

Tianlin visited Xue Qinghe amid the worsening struggle for Heaven Dou’s throne and borrowed the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud in exchange for the Lovesick Heartbreak Red. Xue Qinghe could not earn the flower’s full recognition, and Tianlin left knowing their friendship might not survive what was coming.

• Tianlin reached level sixty-nine and went to Heaven Dou City to seek the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud from Xue Qinghe.

• Xue Qinghe secretly planned to use the turmoil to advance Spirit Hall’s Soul Hunting Plan and destroy the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
• Tianlin asked to borrow the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud and promised an item of equal value in return.
• Xue Qinghe brought Tianlin the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud, and he offered her the Lovesick Heartbreak Red.
• Xue Qinghe’s blood made the flower glow, but it dimmed because her love was conflicted; Tianlin let her keep it as repayment for their friendship.

Tianlin gained the Sea God's recognition for the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud and used it to enter the Star Dou Great Forest undetected as he prepared to obtain a seventh Spirit Ring. The gods also discussed a mysterious evil presence, and the Asura God planned for Tianlin to investigate it during his trials.

• Tianlin guided his Mental Power into the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud, but the Asura Sword Mark blocked the Sea God's probe before the Sea God granted him temporary recognition of the artifact.
• The Asura God confronted the Sea God, then agreed to the Sea God's condition in exchange for help using Seagod's Heart during Tianlin's second trial.
• The Asura God and Sea God discussed a powerful, unexplained evil aura that had appeared more than ten years earlier, and the Asura God resolved to have Tianlin investigate it.
• Tianlin reached the Star Dou Great Forest and activated the Vast Sea Bodyguard Barrier to conceal himself and his aura from the Soul Beasts.
• Tianlin headed for the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's Golden Cave and found the area devastated by the bear's rampage.

Tianlin and Sky Dream Ice Silkworm lured the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear back to the golden cave by imitating the Earth Behemoth’s aura. Tianlin survived the bear’s Sky-Rending Claw, but the clash showed how far he was from matching its strength.

• Tianlin noticed the different depths of the claw marks and concluded that the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear had returned to the cave repeatedly, hoping to find its sworn younger brother.
• Sky Dream Ice Silkworm used Imitation to spread the Earth Behemoth’s aura, drawing the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear away from the Lake of Life alone.
• Tianlin concealed himself with the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud until he confirmed that no other Ferocious Beasts followed the bear.
• The Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear recognized Tianlin and attacked him with Sky-Rending Claw after sensing the Earth Behemoth’s aura from his sixth spirit ring.
• Tianlin used three domains, Blue Silver Aura, and Teleportation to evade the attack, then healed the gash across his chest with his Blue Silver Emperor Soul Bone.
