• Bei Bei and Dai Huabin attacked Di Yueqiu, but she shattered Bei Bei's Lightning Dragon Claw and sent Dai Huabin flying with a punch.

Bai Chen revealed the Holy Spirit Cult’s strength to Emperor Xu Jiawei and introduced himself as a member of Mandate Pavilion, while Mu En and Du Busi joined the meeting. Du Busi hinted that Bai Chen had a way to counter the cult, leaving Xu Jiawei and Xu Jiujiu focused on him.

• Ye Xishui refused Zhongli Wu’s offer of escorts and departed alone for Star Luo City, while Zhongli Wu hoped the coming war would help him reach the Limit Douluo realm.

• Bai Chen told Xu Jiawei that Mu En was a Limit Douluo and revealed that his organization was called Mandate Pavilion, which researched soul tools and Soul Spirit technology.
• Du Busi recognized Bai Chen by his distinctive blood and qi fluctuations and brought Long Aotian, whom Bai Chen identified as the Body Sect’s gifted young disciple beginning to explore Unity of Heaven and Man.
• After Xu Jiawei explained the Holy Spirit Cult’s threat, Du Busi suggested that Bai Chen had a solution, prompting Xu Jiawei and Xu Jiujiu to turn their attention to him.

• Bai Chen told Xu Jiawei that his family had developed Battle Armor and described Level Seven, Level Eight, and Level Nine models that could greatly boost their wearers’ strength.
• Bai Chen quoted prices of five million, twenty million, and one hundred million Gold Soul Coins, and Xu Jiawei agreed to test sample models before deciding whether to buy them.
• Bai Chen placed one mass-produced model of each grade before Xu Jiawei and offered three days of testing, while Du Busi urged Xu Jiawei not to begrudge the cost of high-level combat power.
• Xu Jiawei ordered Xu Jiujiu to have at least ten people test each model and compile their experiences before morning.
• Du Busi challenged Bai Chen to spar without using his Battle Armor, and the two left for an uninhabited wilderness outside Star Luo City.

• Bai Chen activated his customized Battle Armor and Blood-Soul Fusion, combining his Bloodline Power and Soul Power to contend with Du Busi.

• Du Busi rose injured, praised Bai Chen's strength, and judged him a potential future ally against the Holy Spirit Cult.
• Despite severe exhaustion and backlash, Bai Chen charged at Du Busi again, and Du Busi threw a punch that made Bai Chen's hair stand on end.

Bai Chen used Du Busi’s attack to gain insight into Unity of Heaven and Man, then recovered his strength and continued fighting with new tactics. After Du Busi unleashed his Martial Soul Avatar and defeated him, he asked Bai Chen to become his disciple, but Bai Chen refused and remained Du Busi’s prospective student only in name.

• Bai Chen refused because he did not want to join the Body Sect or take on the obligations of a master-disciple relationship.
• Du Busi accepted Bai Chen’s refusal but told him he would remain willing to accept him as a disciple.

Bai Chen left Xuan Zi to investigate the situation with Du Busi, then negotiated with Xu Jiawei over the Star Luo Empire’s purchase of Humanoid Soul Guide Devices. He planned to secure the Snow Empress Embryo, while Xu Jiawei acknowledged that his empire had little choice but to buy the costly devices.

• Xuan Zi questioned Bai Chen’s authority over the Shrek Reserve Team, but Bai Chen reminded him that Shrek’s losses had left the team dependent on outside help.
• Bai Chen told Xuan Zi that Du Busi was in Star Luo City and suggested he ask him about the situation before leaving for the imperial palace.
• Bai Chen met Xu Jiawei to discuss the Humanoid Soul Guide Devices, which could greatly enhance Soul Masters but were prohibitively expensive.
• Xu Jiawei offered to place a larger order than the other two Douluo nations combined if Bai Chen lowered the price.
• Bai Chen pointed out that the Star Luo Empire could not afford to forgo the devices, and Xu Jiawei admitted he was right.

• Bai Chen told Ice Empress that Snow Empress had been captured during her transformation and that her unstable power still threatened her, then offered a way to help if Ice Empress mediated between them.

He offered Sect Leader Nan Shuishui two hundred million Gold Soul Coins for the sect’s land, and revealed a token that identified his connection to the Body Sect.

• Bai Chen reassured Snow Empress that they could escape or possibly defeat Du Busi if he attacked.
• Bai Chen spotted Ye Xishui entering Star Luo City and passed her without drawing her attention; Electrolux warned him that she was exceptionally dangerous.
• Bai Chen flew to Dragon City, where he planned to use the Ten-Thousand-Year Ice Cave beneath the Earth Dragon Sect to restore Snow Empress’s strength.
• Bai Chen met Nan Shuishui and asked what she had decided about his offer to buy the Earth Dragon Sect’s land for two hundred million Gold Soul Coins.
• Nan Shuishui recognized Bai Chen’s token as belonging to the Body Sect and reacted with shock.

Bai Chen bought the Earth Dragon Sect’s land, entered its secret realm, and enlisted Snow Empress to gather Ice Extreme Divine Crystals and recover her strength with Ten Thousand Year Mysterious Ice Marrow. After Snow Empress began preparing for her 700,000-Year Heavenly Tribulation, Bai Chen warned Dragon City’s leaders to evacuate, but they doubted him.

• Nan Shuishui agreed to hand the Earth Dragon Sect and its underground secret realm to Bai Chen, who paid two hundred million Gold Soul Coins.
• Bai Chen entered the well, opened the secret realm, and revealed the Ice Extreme Divine Crystals to Snow Empress.

• Bai Chen returned to warn the Dragon City Lord and the Sky Dragon Sect Master that Snow Empress was about to undergo a tribulation in Dragon City, but they disbelieved him.

Bai Chen forced Dragon City's lord and Old Sky Dragon to evacuate the city before Snow Empress faced her 700,000-year Heavenly Tribulation. Snow Empress survived and thanked Bai Chen, while Old Sky Dragon left to report the extraordinary alliance; Bai Chen then asked Snow Empress whether she had obtained the Ten Thousand Year Mysterious Ice Marrow.

• Bai Chen challenged Dragon City's lord and Old Sky Dragon, then used his Dark-Gold Terrorclaw Bear Soul Spirits to defeat Old Sky Dragon and make the city lord organize an evacuation.
• After a week, Old Sky Dragon returned near Dragon City and watched as Snow Empress emerged from the Earth Dragon Sect to confront the Heavenly Tribulation.
• Snow Empress battled the 700,000-year Heavenly Tribulation for half an hour and survived, though stray lightning damaged parts of Dragon City.
• Snow Empress thanked Bai Chen for helping her survive, and Bai Chen reminded her of her promise before allowing Old Sky Dragon to arrange the residents' return.
• Old Sky Dragon departed to report Bai Chen's cooperation with Snow Empress, and Bai Chen asked whether she had taken care of the Ten Thousand Year Mysterious Ice Marrow.
