Chapter Summaries

After passing their Third Trial, the Shrek Seven Devils received a Fourth Trial that required them to endure attacks from three Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts.

• Bofeng considered the Death Spider Emperor's powerful Death Domain and worried about his daughter Bo Pingting's lack of interest in cultivation.
• Bofeng reflected that Black Shadow had taken Xue Beng's place, gained control of the Heaven Dou Empire, and brought the continent closer to war.
• Bofeng considered killing Black Shadow but decided he could no longer interfere after becoming a god.

The Shrek Seven Devils and Bai Chenxiang entered the restricted rainforest and were attacked by the Death Spider Emperor, who targeted Tang San and his External Soul Bone. The Titan Giant Ape stopped the fight and revealed that the Death Spider Emperor, whom he called Sanming, was part of their group and recognized Xiao Wu as his sister.

• The Shrek Seven Devils and Bai Chenxiang searched the rainforest for the three great Soul Beasts and came upon the Death Spider Emperor’s webs.

• The Titan Giant Ape identified Xiao Wu as his Sister Xiao Wu and called the Death Spider Emperor Sanming, revealing that it had joined the three great Soul Beasts.

Xiao Wu reunited with the Sky Azure Bull Python and Titan Giant Ape on Sea God Island, where the three great soul beasts prepared to put her friends through their Fourth Trial. The Titan Giant Ape began the training battle, while the two brothers secretly planned to take out their jealousy of Tang San on him.

• The Titan Giant Ape warned the Death Spider Emperor to behave, then happily asked Xiao Wu whether she had been resurrected; she said it would happen soon.
• The Titan Giant Ape confirmed that he and the other two soul beasts had been ordered to train the group, and tossed Oscar away when he tried to negotiate an easier trial.
• The group reached the beach, where Xiao Wu reunited with the Sky Azure Bull Python and learned that the soul beasts would not go easy on her friends.
• The Sky Azure Bull Python and Titan Giant Ape decided to use the training as a chance to punish Tang San for winning Xiao Wu's affection, while Bai Chenxiang withdrew from the battle.
• The Titan Giant Ape faced Tang San and the others as they surrounded him, and Ning Rongrong used her Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda to strengthen the group.

Tang San angered Er Ming by striking the Titan Giant Ape on the forehead with his Clear Sky Hammer, and Er Ming chased him relentlessly around Sea God Island. The chase continued into the night, with Dai Mubai and the others watching from the beach as the pursuers and their companions disappeared into the distance.

The Shrek Seven Devils began the Fourth Trial by battling the Titan Giant Ape and Death Spider Emperor while the Sky Azure Bull Python observed. Their strongest attacks failed to overcome the beasts, and the group ended the battle defeated.

• After breakfast, the Titan Giant Ape demanded a one-on-one fight with Tang San, but the trial became a group battle against it, the Death Spider Emperor, and the Sky Azure Bull Python.
• Tang San restrained the Titan Giant Ape with Blue Silver Emperor vines while the Death Spider Emperor attacked Ma Hongjun and the others with poisonous webs.

• Ma Hongjun used Phoenix Domain to resist the Death Spider Emperor's Death Domain as Tang San and the others unleashed their domains and Martial Soul Avatars.
• The Titan Giant Ape shattered their attacks and forced the group back, after which the Sky Azure Bull Python stopped the fight and declared Tang San and the others defeated.

After their crushing defeat by the three great soul beasts, Tang San's group trained and devised a plan to endure the Fourth Trial. Tang San kept the plan from Xiao Wu, who refused to betray Da Ming and Er Ming.

• The Shrek group recognized that they could not withstand the Sky Azure Bull Python, the Titan Giant Ape, and the Death Spider Emperor in a direct fight.
• Dai Mubai encouraged everyone to keep training, while Ning Rongrong dismissed Oscar's suggestion to use the Seven-in-One Fusion Skill against the soul beasts.
• Tang San reasoned that the Sky Azure Bull Python had been observing them and warned that another challenge would reveal their weaknesses.
• Xiao Wu refused to betray her family by revealing the soul beasts' weaknesses, but she explained their abilities to the group.
• The group spent several days cultivating and developing strategies for the Fourth Trial, which gave them a year to survive the assault for the time it took an incense stick to burn.
• Tang San shared a carefully devised plan with the others and made sure Xiao Wu did not hear it.

Tang San and the Shrek Seven Devils fought the three Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts in their Fourth Trial, using teamwork and deception to survive until the incense burned out. The group passed the trial, and Tang San left Er Ming furious by refusing his demand for a one-on-one battle and mocking his breath.

• Tang San and the others began their trial by unleashing their Martial Soul Avatars and attacking the three Soul Beasts, but the beasts countered their assault.
• Tang San used Xiao Wu's Invincible Golden Body and Teleportation to protect Ning Rongrong and strike the Death Spider Emperor, while Dai Mubai and the others were badly wounded by the Titan Giant Ape and Sky Azure Bull Python.
• With less than one-third of the time remaining, Tang San and Ning Rongrong used Ning Rongrong's Illusionary Space to hide and make the three Soul Beasts search for them.
• The incense burned out, completing the Fourth Trial and raising each of the seven's Soul Power by one level; Tang San and Ning Rongrong's Soul Rings also grew older, and Xiao Wu's soul became stronger.
• Er Ming demanded that Tang San face him in a one-on-one battle, but Tang San said they had won, and Ning Rongrong mocked Er Ming's garlic-scented breath.

After receiving their Fifth Trials to challenge the Seven Sacred Pillar Douluo, the Shrek Seven Devils rested for a week before splitting up to scout their opponents. Oscar and Ning Rongrong began fighting Seahorse Douluo while Dai Mubai engaged Sea Lance Douluo, leaving the outcomes of both battles unresolved.

• Tang San and the others learned that their Fifth Trials required them to challenge their assigned Sacred Pillar Douluo within twenty-four hours, while Ning Rongrong had to support the group through every battle.
• Tang San planned to scout the Sacred Pillars after a week of rest, and the group divided up to visit their assigned opponents.

• Dai Mubai went alone to the Sea Spear Sacred Pillar, dodged Sea Lance Douluo's surprise spear attack, and began fighting him with his White Tiger transformations.

The Shrek Seven Devils challenged the Seven Sacred Pillar Douluo and all lost, with Tang San narrowly defeated by Sea Dragon Douluo. Sea Phantom Douluo’s illusion brought Ma Hongjun and Bai Chenxiang together, and the chapter ended the next morning as Bai Chenxiang dressed in shock while Ma Hongjun remained dazed.

• Sea Phantom Douluo separated Ma Hongjun and Bai Chenxiang with an illusion, then withdrew his power while they gave in to their feelings.

• At dawn, Bai Chenxiang hurriedly dressed behind a reef while Ma Hongjun remained dazed after their night together.

• Bai Chenxiang returned to her room after her night with Ma Hongjun, while Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing went to comfort her.
• Tang San led the group in reviewing their losses and proposed that they keep challenging the Sacred Pillar Douluo to learn their abilities before beginning the trial.
• Bofeng and the Seven Sacred Pillar Douluo grew suspicious of the Shrek Seven Devils’ repeated challenges and prepared for their trial.
• After half a month, all seven Shrek Seven Devils assembled at the Seahorse Sacred Pillar, and the twenty-four-hour trials officially began.
• Oscar used his Steadfast Golden Fly, Ning Rongrong’s support, and a copy of Tang San’s abilities to bind and defeat Seahorse Douluo.
• Seahorse Douluo declared Oscar’s trial passed, and Oscar’s Soul Power rose to Rank 79.

• Dai Mubai used Ning Rongrong’s support and Oscar’s sausages to fight Sea Lance Douluo with a copied Clear Sky Hammer and the Blue Silver Emperor.
• Dai Mubai and Sea Lance Douluo injured each other severely, and Bofeng judged Dai Mubai the winner; his trial reward raised him to level eighty and healed his wound.
• The Shrek group set off for the Sea Phantom Sacred Pillar, where Ma Hongjun entered Sea Phantom Douluo’s domain with Ning Rongrong.
• Ma Hongjun used burning firewood tied behind him to resist the illusion, reached the pillar safely, and passed Sea Phantom Douluo’s trial.
• The group prepared to face Sea Demoness Douluo and Sea Dragon Douluo next.

Zhu Zhuqing passed Sea Demoness Douluo’s trial by disarming her with the Flying Sky Divine Claw, and Tang San began the group’s final trial against the newly strengthened rank-ninety-six Sea Dragon Douluo. After Tang San boosted himself with Oscar’s Limit Breaking Dark Green Sausage, the two traded brutal blows, and Tang San wounded Sea Dragon Douluo with his Blue Silver Overlord Spear.

• Zhu Zhuqing used the Flying Sky Divine Claw to restrain Sea Demoness Douluo, then defeated her with Ning Rongrong’s support and passed the Sea Siren Sacred Pillar trial.
• The group reached the Sea Dragon Sacred Pillar, where Sea Dragon Douluo refused Tang San’s proposed alternative and insisted they fight with their real strength.
• Sea Dragon Douluo revealed that he had reached rank ninety-six, broke free of Tang San’s Blue Silver Emperor, and overwhelmed him with his power.
• Tang San consumed a Steadfast Golden Fly and a Limit Breaking Dark Green Sausage, raising his strength enough to fight Sea Dragon Douluo more evenly.
• Tang San and Sea Dragon Douluo exchanged powerful attacks, and Tang San pierced Sea Dragon Douluo’s shoulder with his Blue Silver Overlord Spear.

Tang San defeated Sea Dragon Douluo by surviving his final attack with Invincible Golden Body, completing the Fifth Trial. Bofeng then revealed that the Sixth Trial required the Shrek Seven Devils to withstand attacks from his Level 99 Divine Thought for one incense stick's time, and the group left to seek an Eighth Soul Ring for Dai Mubai.

• Bofeng revealed that his Level 99 Divine Thought would fight them using only its first six Soul Skills, and the Shrek Seven Devils departed for the shore to seek Xiao Bai's help in finding Dai Mubai an Eighth Soul Ring.

The Shrek Seven Devils faced Bofeng’s Divine Thought for the Sixth Trial and were swiftly defeated. Bofeng revived them, punished Ma Hongjun for attacking him afterward, and left the group hoping he would make the trial easier.

• Ma Hongjun and Oscar despaired over the prospect of fighting Bofeng, while Dai Mubai returned with a new spirit ring and right-arm soul bone.
• After half a month of preparation, the Shrek Seven Devils began the Sixth Trial at Sea God Mountain, with Xiao Wu and Bai Chenxiang watching from an island.
• The group launched coordinated attacks, but Bofeng’s Divine Thought knocked out Ning Rongrong, defeated the others, and ended the battle with two-thirds of the incense still unburned.
• The real Bofeng revived the fallen group, but Ma Hongjun attacked him, so Bofeng caught him in midair and spanked him with divine power.
• Bofeng questioned the group about their complaints, and they silently agreed that the trial was far too difficult.

After losing to Bofeng’s Divine Thought, the Shrek Seven Devils tried to survive the Sixth Trial by fleeing, but he used the ocean to pursue and capture them. As Ning Rongrong and the remaining fighters came under threat, the trial’s outcome looked increasingly hopeless.

• Bofeng’s Divine Thought defeated the Shrek Seven Devils, and Tang San realized their next attempt should focus on avoiding defeat rather than fighting head-on.
• The next day, the group used Flying Mushroom Sausages and Ning Rongrong’s boost to scatter across the island, but Bofeng sent Sea Dragons and Sea Soul Beasts after them.
• Bofeng formed a seawater hand that caught Zhu Zhuqing and locked her in a cage, while the others fled without trying to rescue her.
• Bofeng targeted Ning Rongrong, but Oscar used a Blue Silver Overlord Spear to save her and was captured instead.
• With only four members left free and Bofeng still controlling the ocean, the group’s chances of enduring the trial grew slim.

The Shrek Seven Devils repeatedly failed Bofeng’s Sixth Trial as the continent’s major powers prepared for conflict, but Tang San finally outmaneuvered Bofeng’s Divine Thought at the last moment. The group completed their trials, gained Soul Power and God-Bestowed Soul Rings, and Ning Rongrong received a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring before Tang San’s sudden cry interrupted their celebration.

• Bofeng defeated the Shrek Seven Devils just before the incense burned out, and Ning Rongrong worried that they might be stranded on Sea God Island as tensions rose across the continent.
• The group trained for three months and repeatedly challenged Bofeng, while Ma Hongjun advanced to Rank Seventy-Eight and the others strengthened their abilities.
