Chapter Summaries

Huo Yuhao secretly made Tang Ya agree to a contract requiring her to complete one hundred tasks, then used Electrolux and the Life Guardian Blade to remove her Evil Poison without harming her life energy. After sending Tang Ya to collect Wang Dong's Essence Blood, Huo Yuhao left Mu En wondering whether the Golden Ancient Tree's consciousness had awakened.

• Huo Yuhao negotiated a contract with Tang Ya, reducing her obligation from one thousand tasks to one hundred and allowing her to refuse tasks that violated her principles.

• Mu En found Tang Ya walking with a steady aura, and Tang Ya claimed she had dreamed of a Golden Ancient Tree that removed the Evil Poison.
• Mu En suspected the Golden Ancient Tree's consciousness had awakened and helped Tang Ya.

Tang Ya’s Evil Poison disappeared, and she sparred with Wang Dong to obtain her Essence Blood for Huo Yuhao. Huo Yuhao and Electrolux then traveled to a cave in the Far North to begin unsealing the Thunder God Corpse, using a God of Destruction statue as part of their plan to draw him into a confrontation with Tang San.

• Huo Yuhao planned to use the statue to draw the God of Destruction into a confrontation with Tang San after they seized the Thunder God Corpse.

Huo Yuhao and Electrolux broke Tang San’s seal and took the Thunder Dragon corpse, which the Plane Consciousness concealed long enough to let them escape. Tang San discovered the theft and suspected the God of Destruction as a strand of the God of Destruction’s spiritual sense appeared before him.

• The Plane Consciousness revealed the demiplane and concealed the seal-breaking disturbance while Electrolux shattered Tang San’s seal with Golden Essence Blood.

• A strand of spiritual sense appeared before Tang San in the form of the God of Destruction.

The God of Destruction accused Tang San of violating the Divine Realm Rules after finding his divine sense near a Demiplane on Douluo Star, and called a meeting of the Five Great God Kings.

Under questioning, Tang San revealed that he had used the Demiplane to store the Thunder God Corpse for his descendants, and Destruction accused him of interfering with the Thunder God’s inheritance.

• Tang San refused to undergo judgment by the Balance of Judgment, but admitted he had placed a Demiplane in the Lower Realm to avoid harsher scrutiny.
• The God of Destruction called for a vote, and the four other God Kings agreed to have Tang San judged despite his suspended voting rights.

• Destruction denied the accusation but argued that Tang San was still responsible for the theft and had interfered with the Thunder God Godhood’s natural inheritance.

• Electrolux explained that he could regulate the Thunder God Corpse’s lightning, and Huo Yuhao decided to use it for body tempering.
• The Thunderous Hell Vines doubted Huo Yuhao could withstand the lightning as he approached the Thunder God Corpse.
• The lightning engulfed Huo Yuhao, burning his skin before new skin and icy-blue Dragon Scales emerged.
• Huo Yuhao’s Water Dragon King bloodline activated, purging impurities and making the Thunderous Hell Vines feel compelled to submit.
