Chapter Summaries

Bibi Dong suspected Liu Guanyi was Fang Yuan, but his released Soul Rings showed no Martial Soul resonance with her, and he claimed to be a Food-Type Soul Master. The Spirit Hall elders struggled to accept that Liu Guanyi had fought Fang Yuan using Soul Tools, leaving them reconsidering what Soul Tools could enable.

• Bibi Dong demanded that Liu Guanyi reveal his Martial Soul, and he released seven Soul Rings while Fang Yuan used Faith Power to conceal their Martial Soul resonance.
• Bibi Dong sensed no connection between Liu Guanyi's Martial Soul and either of her own, so she concluded he might not be Fang Yuan and returned to her throne.
• Bibi Dong asked why Liu Guanyi had shown no Martial Soul form, and he said he was a Food-Type Soul Master.
• Ghost Douluo, Ghost Leopard Douluo, and the other elders were shocked by Liu Guanyi's claim, while Bibi Dong questioned how he had fought Fang Yuan.
• Liu Guanyi explained that Soul Tools gave him formidable combat strength, prompting the hall to consider how Soul Tools could arm auxiliary Soul Masters.

Fang Yuan revealed Liu Guanyi’s Pill Martial Soul and claimed its first Soul Skill created a pill that raised innate talent by five levels until level seventy. Spirit Hall’s leaders were astonished by its value, while Fang Yuan privately knew the pill came from resources produced in his Immortal Aperture.

• Ghost Leopard Douluo asked Liu Guanyi to reveal his Martial Soul, and Fang Yuan spent a long time activating its first Soul Skill.

• Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Leopard Douluo questioned the pill’s shelf life and whether it could benefit someone who took it later in life, and Fang Yuan said it could.
• Spirit Hall’s elders and Bibi Dong reacted with astonishment to the pill’s potential, while Fang Yuan privately attributed its creation to his Immortal Aperture’s plentiful resources.

Bibi Dong appointed Liu Guanyi as a Spirit Hall elder and entrusted him with all Soul Tool work, while Fang Yuan remained wary of her intentions. Later, Fang Yuan and Tang San met Xue Qinghe in Heaven Dou City, where Xue Qinghe welcomed Fang Yuan back after his two-year absence.

• Bibi Dong weighed the value of Liu Guanyi’s soul skill and his Soul Tool expertise, then announced that he would become a Spirit Hall elder.

• Qian Renxue had supported Fang Yuan despite Spirit Hall’s role in driving him away, while pursuing her own plans to gain power within the Heaven Dou Empire.

Fang Yuan told Xue Qinghe that Spirit Hall had gained a powerful Soul Tool expert named Liu Guanyi and urged the Heaven Dou Empire to accelerate its military buildup. He sought the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud in exchange for Soul Tools, leaving Xue Qinghe to weigh the request against his limited authority as crown prince.

• Fang Yuan asked Xue Qinghe to give him the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud so he could study it.
• Fang Yuan told Xue Qinghe that he had encountered Liu Guanyi and four Titled Douluo from Spirit Hall in the Star Dou Great Forest.

• Xue Qinghe urged Fang Yuan to help accelerate the Heaven Dou Empire's Soul Tool armament, fearing Bibi Dong could use Spirit Hall's new strength to invade early.
• Fang Yuan renewed his request for the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud and offered to exchange Soul Tools for it.

Fang Yuan traded six Eighth-Level Fixed-Mounted Soul Cannon Shells to Xue Qinghe for the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud, intending to use it to help Tang San inherit the Sea God Godhood. After leaving Heaven Dou Palace, Fang Yuan announced that the Seven Monsters of Great Love would travel to Sea God Island for training and trials.

• Fang Yuan offered Xue Qinghe six Eighth-Level Fixed-Mounted Soul Cannon Shells in exchange for the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud, and Xue Qinghe arranged to obtain it from Xue Ye.

• Fang Yuan left Heaven Dou Palace and summoned the Seven Monsters of Great Love.
• Fang Yuan told the Seven Monsters of Great Love that they would go to Sea God Island to train and pass its trials.

Fang Yuan took Tang San and the Seven Monsters of Great Love to a small island near Sea God Island, intending to prepare them for training there while giving Tang San time to bond with the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud. The group settled in for the night, and Fang Yuan made sure Tang San stayed inside the Soul Tool House.

• Fang Yuan gave Tang San the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud, but it showed no reaction when Tang San poured spiritual power into it.
• Fang Yuan told the Seven Monsters of Great Love about Sea God Island and urged them to train before Spirit Hall could attack again.
• Fang Yuan declined to join their training and used Fixed Immortal Travel to bring everyone to a small island near Sea God Island.
• The group explored the island, swam, fished, and shared a feast in the Soul Tool House.
• Fang Yuan pulled Tang San away from the others and ordered him to rest inside the Soul Tool House.

Fang Yuan led the Seven Monsters of Great Love to Sea Island after Tang San and Fang Yuan both failed to gain recognition from the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud. They reached the island after Fang Yuan froze the Demon Soul Great White Shark King’s attack, where Sea Island soul masters blocked their way.

• Fang Yuan worried that Tang San’s failure to gain the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud’s recognition meant the Sea God would not choose him as an heir.
• Fang Yuan also failed to gain recognition from the shroud, but decided to visit Sea Island with his disciples rather than turn back.
• The Demon Soul Great White Shark King ambushed Fang Yuan’s group as they crossed the sea.
• Fang Yuan used Wrath of the Ice Emperor to freeze the sea and stop the Demon Soul Great White Shark King.
• Fang Yuan and the Seven Monsters of Great Love landed on Sea Island, where soul masters came out of the woods and challenged them.

Fang Yuan brought the Seven Monsters of Great Love to Sea God Island to undergo the Sea God trials, but the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud flew to Seahorse Douluo and was identified as the Heart of the Sea God. Suspecting the Sea God was interfering with them, Fang Yuan sent his companions into his Immortal Aperture, leaving the situation at the Sea Seahorse Sacred Pillar unresolved.

• Fang Yuan and the Seven Monsters of Great Love arrived at Sea God Island and were escorted to the Sea Seahorse Sacred Pillar.
• Seahorse Douluo told the newcomers to cross the Sea within a Sea before receiving their trials.
• Tang San entered the water's range, and the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud flew out of his Storage Soul Tool toward the sacred pillar.
• Fang Yuan tried to seize the artifact, but the pillar's azure barrier blocked both his movement and his Soul Power.
• The Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud landed in Seahorse Douluo's hands, and he recognized it as the Heart of the Sea God.
• Fang Yuan sensed something was wrong and sent the Seven Monsters of Great Love into his Immortal Aperture to be cared for by Ah Yin.

Fang Yuan tried to leave Sea God Island after the Sea God’s response to the Heart of the Sea God raised his suspicions, but the island’s power and Guardians stopped him. Bo Saixi relayed the Sea God’s offer to grant Fang Yuan’s disciple the Sea God’s Godhood if Fang Yuan stayed and let them remove his Forbidden Power.

• Fang Yuan attempted to leave Sea God Island with Fixed Immortal Travel, but the Sea Seahorse Sacred Pillar’s azure glow interrupted him.
• Seahorse Douluo tried to restrain Fang Yuan, but Fang Yuan easily brushed aside his attack and reached the Seashore.
• Bo Saixi arrived with the Heart of the Sea God, while the other Guardian Douluos surrounded Fang Yuan.
• Bo Saixi told Fang Yuan that the Sea God thought highly of his disciple and would pass on his Godhood if Fang Yuan stayed on the island and allowed them to remove his Forbidden Power.

Fang Yuan rejected the Sea God's offer to erase his Faith Power and fled Sea God Island, while Bo Saixi and the Guardian Douluo pursued him. He concluded that the Sea God wanted to monopolize the path to godhood through faith and continued racing across the ocean with Bo Saixi closing in.

• The Sea God offered to purify Fang Yuan's power in exchange for passing on his Godhood, and Bo Saixi expected him to accept.
• Fang Yuan used the moment of surprise to flee Sea God Island, prompting Bo Saixi to pursue him and call the Guardian Douluo after them.
• The Sea God's power flowed through the ocean into the Guardian Douluo, boosting their pursuit of Fang Yuan and Bo Saixi.
• Fang Yuan realized the Sea God wanted to erase his Faith Power because he regarded faith-based godhood as his own secret and did not want Fang Yuan to follow the same path.
• Fang Yuan refused to surrender his accumulated Faith Power and kept fleeing across the sea as Bo Saixi drew closer.

Fang Yuan fled across the sea with Bo Saixi in pursuit, using attacks from the Snow Empress and his own healing ability to keep ahead. Bo Saixi realized too late that he could recover from the damage he took, and Fang Yuan escaped her attempt to force him off course.

• Fang Yuan traded blows with Bo Saixi, using their collision to accelerate his flight while she pursued him across the sea.
• Bo Saixi realized Fang Yuan was nearing the mainland and increased her speed to catch him before he arrived.
• Fang Yuan used the Snow Empress's Ice Extreme Unrivaled to force Bo Saixi to slow down and defend herself.

• Fang Yuan rode the blast away, then used As Before! to erase his injuries and flee faster.
• Bo Saixi understood that Fang Yuan could heal himself and continued the chase after losing her chance to force him off course.

Fang Yuan lured Bo Saixi into the Demonic Whale Sea and provoked the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King, triggering a three-way battle. After the whale king froze Fang Yuan and Bo Saixi went to retrieve him, she found only a hollow block of ice.

• Fang Yuan froze the sea to draw out the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King, and Bo Saixi recognized the beast in the Demonic Whale Sea.
• Bo Saixi and the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King attacked Fang Yuan, and the three began fighting across the sea.
• Fang Yuan fought on the defensive, using Wrath of the Ice Emperor and Fallen Soul Seal before the whale king reflected his ice attack and froze him.
• Bo Saixi dealt with Fallen Soul Seal, then called on the arriving Guardian Douluo to hold off the whale king while she searched for Fang Yuan.
• Bo Saixi found the block of ice but discovered it was hollow, leaving Fang Yuan's escape unexplained.

After the Sea God blocked Fang Yuan’s path to godhood, Fang Yuan returned to Spirit Hall and focused on his plans to pursue the Asura inheritance and build support for faith-based godhood. He inspected the new Soul Tool Hall and asked Bibi Dong to provide experienced blacksmiths so Spirit Hall could speed up Soul Tool production.

• Fang Yuan escaped Bo Saixi and the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King, then concluded that the Sea God had shut down Tang San’s chance to inherit the Sea God’s position.
• Fang Yuan released the Seven Monsters of Great Love, canceled their Sea God Island summer camp, and returned to Spirit Hall, where he switched into Liu Guanyi’s identity.
• Fang Yuan planned to draw Tang Chen toward himself and Hu Liena, while using Spirit Hall’s coming war to advance his faith-based path to godhood.
• Fang Yuan visited Spirit Hall’s under-construction Soul Tool Hall, then went to Bibi Dong to request skilled blacksmiths for faster Soul Tool production.

Fang Yuan tried to lure Tang Chen out by visiting Gengxin City and later joining Hu Liena’s soul-ring hunt, but Tang Chen did not appear until the Spirit Hall party was leaving Star Dou Great Forest. The chapter ended as a blood-mist ambush struck the group and a black figure attacked its members.

• Fang Yuan persuaded Bibi Dong to accompany him to Gengxin City, where he recruited Lou Gao and other blacksmiths to build Spirit Hall’s Soul Tool Hall.
• Fang Yuan equipped Spirit Hall’s soul engineers with blueprints and training, and Hu Liena reached rank seventy after taking pills made from immortal herbs.
• Fang Yuan convinced Bibi Dong to let him join Hu Liena’s party as it traveled into Star Dou Great Forest to hunt a soul ring.
• Nine days into the search, Hu Liena killed a fox soul beast and absorbed its ten-thousand-year soul ring while Fang Yuan waited for Tang Chen to appear.
• As the party prepared to leave the forest, a blood mist engulfed them, incapacitating the leading Titled Douluo as a black figure attacked a Soul Douluo.

Tang Chen, the King of Slaughter, attacked Fang Yuan and Hu Liena after recognizing them as the ones who destroyed Slaughter City. Fang Yuan concealed his strength, stowed the unconscious Hu Liena in his immortal aperture, and faced Tang Chen alone as the fight began.

• Tang Chen slaughtered Spirit Hall's experts, leaving only Fang Yuan and Hu Liena alive.

• Tang Chen weakened Hu Liena and knocked her unconscious, and Fang Yuan placed her in his immortal aperture.
• Tang Chen confronted Fang Yuan about hiding his strength, then attacked him in a rage.

Fang Yuan defeated Tang Chen after the Fallen Soul Seal freed him from the Blood-Red Nine-Headed Bat King's control. The Asura God offered Fang Yuan the chance to inherit his godhood, but Fang Yuan hesitated when told to sever his arms and fuse the Asura Demon Sword and its scabbard into his body.

• Fang Yuan used his Incomplete Freedom Transformation and blood-red domain to fight the King of Slaughter at full strength.
• Fang Yuan struck the King of Slaughter with Fallen Soul Seal, which freed Tang Chen from the Blood-Red Nine-Headed Bat King's control.

• Fang Yuan pierced Tang Chen's chest and used his domain to drain his life force, killing him.
• The Asura God declared Fang Yuan qualified to inherit his godhood and told him to take up the Asura Demon Sword.
• Fang Yuan reached for the sword, then froze when the Asura God instructed him to sever his arms and fuse the sword and scabbard into his body.

Fang Yuan refused the Asura God's demand to cut off his arms, escaped with Hu Liena, and returned to Spirit Hall after losing another chance at Godhood Inheritance. He resolved to accelerate his Faith Power Collection by speeding up Spirit Hall's adoption of Soul Tools.

• Fang Yuan realized the Asura God wanted the Soul Bones in his arms and rejected the demand to fuse with the Asura Demon Sword and Scabbard.
• Fang Yuan tested the Asura God, confirmed his suspicion, and escaped using Fixed Immortal Travel as the god pursued him with Tang Chen's corpse and the Demon Sword.
• Fang Yuan concluded he would pursue the Faith Apotheosis Method instead of trusting either the Sea God or the Asura God to grant him godhood.
• Fang Yuan released Hu Liena, brought her back to Spirit Hall, and faced Bibi Dong's anger over the deaths of the others who had gone to the Star Dou Great Forest.
• Fang Yuan decided to accelerate his Faith Power Collection by advancing Spirit Hall's adoption of Soul Tools with help from the master smiths he recruited in Gengxin City.

Bibi Dong deployed Spirit Hall’s newly assembled soul engineer corps against the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, then founded the Spirit Hall Empire and began a war of expansion. As the Heaven Dou and Star Luo Empires struggled against Spirit Hall’s superior forces, Fang Yuan joined the battlefield to support Heaven Dou.

• Bibi Dong ordered Spirit Hall’s thousand-strong soul engineer corps to surprise-attack the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, which was forced to retreat to Heaven Dou City.

• Spirit Hall expanded its soul engineer corps to fifteen hundred troops, leaving both empires struggling to resist its strength.
• The Tang Sect declared support for Heaven Dou and Star Luo, and Fang Yuan went to reinforce the front lines.
• Heaven Dou fielded a nine-hundred-member soul engineer army equipped by the Tang Sect, but its troops were generally weaker than Spirit Hall’s.

Fang Yuan staged his death and return to win the two empires’ faith, then used that Faith Power to become a god. After defeating the Sea God and the Asura God, he entered a higher world to seek eternal life.

• Liu Guanyi fired a Soul Tool that appeared to kill Fang Yuan, forcing the Heaven Dou Empire’s army to retreat as the Spirit Hall Empire advanced.
