Tang San asked Yu Xiaogang to let him add a Soul Ring to his Clear Sky Hammer, but Yu Xiaogang refused and warned him of the danger. Tang Hao arrived, revealed that Tang San’s mother also had the Blue Silver Grass martial soul, and led Tang San into the forest to explain its hidden trait: Devouring.

• Tang San told Yu Xiaogang he wanted to add a Soul Ring to the Clear Sky Hammer because his cultivation was falling behind.
• Yu Xiaogang refused, warning that attaching a ring to Tang San’s second martial soul before completing the first could cause a fatal backlash.
• Tang Hao appeared at the cabin and said the rule did not apply to Blue Silver Grass.
• Tang Hao revealed that Tang San’s mother had possessed Blue Silver Grass and took him to a forest clearing.
• Tang Hao explained that the Blue Silver Grass clan carried a hidden trait called Devouring.

Tang Hao taught Tang San to awaken Blue Silver Grass's ability to devour life force, warning that its power could corrupt his mind. Tang San quickly gained soul power by consuming nearby plants, and his martial soul darkened as Tang Hao watched and remembered Ah Yin.

• Ignoring Tang Hao's warning, Tang San spread his roots through nearby plants and devoured their life force, rapidly increasing his soul power as his Blue Silver Grass turned black and savage.
• Tang Hao watched Tang San's transformation and remembered Ah Yin.

Tang San discovered that draining life force rapidly increased his soul power, then tested the method on a pack of Carrion Jackals. Tang Hao recognized that the devouring was also filling Tang San with resentment and negative emotions that could twist his mind.

• Tang San drained the surrounding plants and raised his soul power to level thirty-six, then asked Tang Hao whether soul beasts would yield more power.

• Tang Hao saw Tang San's intoxicated expression and recognized that the resentment from devouring could foster dependence and loss of control.

Tang San advanced to level fifty by Devouring Soul Beasts, while their resentment and his hunger for power twisted his Blue Silver Grass and his mind. Tang Hao led him deeper into the Great Star Dou Forest to awaken his true bloodline.

• Tang Hao watched Tang San continue Devouring Carrion Jackals and followed him into the forest.
• Over more than half a year, Tang San drained dozens of Soul Beasts and rose from level thirty-five to level fifty.

• Tang San entered the forest, and the Blue Silver King recognized him as a descendant of the Emperor and warned him about the darkness consuming him.
• Tang San demanded the awakening, and the Blue Silver King began the ritual using the forest's life force to form a cocoon around him.
• Tang Hao watched from outside, troubled by the scorched Blue Silver Grass and unable to enter the forest.
• After three days, the cocoon remained in place as its glow shifted from blue-gold to deep gold and then crimson.

After the giant cocoon burst, Tang San awakened a mutated Dark Blue Silver Emperor and gained a dramatic surge in power. He rejected the Blue Silver King’s warning and left the Blue Silver Forest devastated as he drained the King’s remaining life force.

• On the fourth morning, the cocoon cracked and exploded, revealing Tang San transformed with dark-red hair, black flames in his eyes, and a Dark Blue Silver Emperor martial soul.
• Tang San laughed as his strength surged past level fifty and the Blue Silver King warned him that the lives he had devoured might consume his heart.
• Tang San refused to stop and unleashed his vines, draining the Blue Silver Forest until it became a charred wasteland.
• Tang San Entangled the dying Blue Silver King and began devouring its remaining life essence.

Tang San devoured the Blue Silver King, absorbed its eighty-thousand-year left arm Soul Bone, and reached level fifty-seven. He left the destroyed Blue Silver Forest with Tang Hao, who recognized that his own choices had turned his son into a monster.

• Tang Hao realized he had enabled Tang San's transformation by teaching him about devouring and bringing him to the Blue Silver Forest.

Tang San left the Great Star Dou Forest with Tang Hao after destroying the Blue Silver Forest, showing no regret for what he had done. With the tournament seven days away, Bing Yekong broke through to level sixty and decided to seek his sixth Soul Ring in the Far North.

• Tang Hao asked Tang San whether he regretted what he had done, and Tang San said he only regretted not awakening sooner so he could have defeated Bing Yekong earlier.
• Tang Hao and Tang San left the Great Star Dou Forest while dark red vines emerged among the ashes of the Blue Silver Forest ruins.
• Bing Yekong cultivated in the Shui Family's training room and broke through from level fifty-nine to level sixty.
• Shui Bing'er met Bing Yekong after sensing his breakthrough and asked where he would obtain his sixth Soul Ring.
• Bing Yekong told Shui Bing'er he planned to go to the Far North to find a powerful ice-attribute soul beast.

Bing Yekong gathered Shui Qingrou, Yang Wudi, and Dugu Bo to protect him while he hunted an 80,000-year ice-attributed Soul Beast for his sixth Soul Ring. After traveling north for three days, they entered the Far North's core region, where Shui Qingrou warned them to avoid its 100,000-year Soul Beasts.

• Shui Bing'er offered to accompany Bing Yekong, but he refused because the Far North's core region was too dangerous for her.
• Bing Yekong asked Yang Wudi to join his hunt, and Dugu Bo volunteered as well.
• Shui Qingrou arrived and offered to guide the group, bringing their strength to three fighters capable of contending with Titled Douluos.
• Bing Yekong, Shui Qingrou, Yang Wudi, and Dugu Bo traveled north for three days and crossed directly through the Frozen Forest.
• The group entered the Far North's core region, where Shui Qingrou urged them to avoid the 100,000-year Soul Beasts while seeking their target.

Bing Yekong and his companions searched the Far North for a powerful ice-attributed Soul Beast but found that the strongest beasts had vanished from the area. They detected a nearby 100,000-Year Soul Beast’s Heavenly Tribulation ending almost immediately, and realized the beast had likely failed and was near death.

• Shui Qingrou led Bing Yekong, Dugu Bo, and Yang Wudi through the Far North’s core region, but they found no ice-attributed Soul Beasts with 80,000 years of cultivation.
• Yang Wudi suggested the missing Soul Beasts had fled from a hegemonic 100,000-Year Soul Beast, so Shui Qingrou changed their route toward the mixed region.
• The group searched the mixed region without finding a suitable Soul Beast until dark clouds gathered and Yang Wudi identified the aura of a Heavenly Tribulation.
• Shui Qingrou sensed the tribulation roughly a hundred miles away, but its aura quickly dispersed, indicating that the 100,000-Year Soul Beast had failed.
• Shui Qingrou concluded that the dying Soul Beast’s Soul Ring and Soul Bone were now ownerless, and the group recognized it might be the powerful ice-attributed Soul Beast they sought.

Bing Yekong and his companions found a dying hundred-thousand-year Frost Giant Dragon, and his hidden Ice Dragon King Martial Soul awakened in response to it. The dragon recognized the Ice Dragon King and revealed that its own bloodline was incomplete before its tribulation left it near death.

• Bing Yekong chose to investigate the failed tribulation despite Dugu Bo's warnings, and Shui Qingrou agreed to go with him and Yang Wudi.
• The four reached a lightning-scarred snow valley and found a dying hundred-thousand-year Frost Giant Dragon.
• Bing Yekong's Ice Dragon King Martial Soul emerged on its own and roared at the Frost Giant Dragon.
• The Frost Giant Dragon recognized the Ice Dragon King, while Dugu Bo, Yang Wudi, and Shui Qingrou realized Bing Yekong had a second martial soul.
• The Frost Giant Dragon told Bing Yekong that it carried a trace of Ice Dragon King bloodline and believed its incomplete bloodline had caused its failure to withstand the tribulation.

The dying Frost Giant Dragon recognized Bing Yekong as the bearer of the Ice Dragon King and chose to sacrifice its hundred thousand years of cultivation to him. Bing Yekong absorbed its Soul Bone and began absorbing its crimson Soul Ring, whose immense power surged through his meridians.

• The Frost Giant Dragon asked Bing Yekong to accept its Soul Ring and Soul Bone, hoping its sacrifice would strengthen the Ice Dragon King Martial Soul.
• The Frost Giant Dragon sacrificed itself, transforming into a hundred-thousand-year Soul Ring, a right arm bone, and a lingering strand of dragon soul intent.
• Dugu Bo urged Bing Yekong forward, and Bing Yekong flew to receive the Frost Giant Dragon's legacy.
• Bing Yekong absorbed the Frost Dragon Right Arm Bone, reforging his right arm and strengthening his Icy Twin Wings through their resonance.
• Bing Yekong drew the crimson Soul Ring toward himself, and its immense soul power flooded his meridians.

Bing Yekong absorbed the Frost Giant Dragon’s Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring, and the Dragon King Bloodline helped his two Ultimate Ice Martial Souls begin to resonate. He reached level sixty-six with a red sixth Soul Ring, a fused right arm bone, and strengthened wings, while Shui Qingrou, Yang Wudi, and Dugu Bo witnessed his transformation.

• The Ice Dragon King Martial Soul guided Bing Yekong through the Frost Giant Dragon Soul Ring’s memories and eased the fusion of its power with his bloodline.
• The Frost Giant Dragon Soul Ring drew the Ice Dragon King and Tianshuang Sword Martial Souls closer, causing them to begin merging and resonate.
• Yang Wudi and Dugu Bo discussed Bing Yekong’s Twin Martial Souls, while Shui Qingrou understood why he had kept the secret from her.
• Bing Yekong completed the absorption and rose to level sixty-six, with six Soul Rings including a Hundred-Thousand-Year red ring.
• Bing Yekong’s right arm bone and Icy Twin Wings showed changes from the Dragon Clan Bloodline, and his Tianshuang Sword gained dragon-scale patterns as the two Martial Souls resonated more strongly.

Bing Yekong returned from the Far North with a hundred-thousand-year Soul Ring and Frost Ice Dragon Right Arm Bone, while powerful beings there began to awaken. At Shrek Academy, Tang San worried that his teammates were too weak for the tournament and confronted Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun about their strength.

• Bing Yekong obtained a hundred-thousand-year sixth Soul Ring and Frost Ice Dragon Right Arm Bone, reaching Level 66.
• Shui Qingrou reassured Bing Yekong, and he bowed farewell to the vanished Frost Giant Dragon before returning south with her, Yang Wudi, and Dugu Bo.
• The Far North's true overlords sensed the Ancient Dragonkin's death and the wary-inspiring aura of a human youth.
• At Shrek Academy, Tang San assessed his teammates' low soul power and worried that Shrek Team could not compete in team battles.
• Tang San summoned Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun and asked them what they thought of their own strength.

Tang San confronted Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun about being too weak for the upcoming tournament, then offered to rapidly increase their strength using his Dark Blue Silver Emperor’s ability to convert devoured life force into soul power. Dai Mubai accepted despite the risks, determined to protect Zhu Zhuqing in the Star Luo succession struggle.

• Tang San told Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun that their strength would leave them vulnerable in the tournament and unable to support him in team battles.
• Tang San revealed his evolved martial soul, the Dark Blue Silver Emperor, and explained that it could devour life force and convert it into soul power.
• Tang San offered to use the ability to help Ma Hongjun reach Soul Ancestor and raise Dai Mubai by three or four levels, while warning that it could hurt and alter their martial souls.
• Dai Mubai hesitated over the cost, but Tang San reminded him that losing to Dai Weisi could cost him the throne and his life, as well as endanger Zhu Zhuqing.
• Dai Mubai agreed to Tang San’s method, saying he would pay any price to ensure Zhu Zhuqing lived.

Tang San used his Devouring ability to drain a forest and channel its life energy into Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun, forcing their bodies and martial spirits to change as their strength rose. Ma Hongjun struggled to endure the process, while Tang San showed no intention of stopping.

• Tang San led Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun into the forest where he had awakened his Devouring ability.
• Tang San had them sit back-to-back and wrapped their waists with Dark Blue Silver Emperor vines.
• Tang San spread his vines through the forest and drained the life force of its plants, animals, and insects.
• Tang San channeled the stolen life energy into Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun, causing excruciating pain and rapidly increasing their spirit power.
• Dai Mubai's Evil-Eyed White Tiger began changing toward darkness, while Ma Hongjun's Evil Fire Phoenix struggled against the dark energy.
• Ma Hongjun begged Tang San to stop, but Tang San ordered him to endure the pain.

Tang San used the Dark Blue Silver Emperor to devour life across forests near Heaven Dou City, accelerating Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun’s growth while changing their Martial Souls toward darkness. Ma Hongjun reached level forty and Dai Mubai level forty-five, and Tang San claimed their evolutions would only make them stronger.

• Tang San expanded the Dark Blue Silver Emperor’s Devouring, leading Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun through seven or eight forests that became scorched wastelands.
• Ma Hongjun broke through to level forty, and his Evil Fire Phoenix evolved into a purplish-black form with flames that alternated between hot and cold.
• Dai Mubai reached level forty-five as his Evil-Eyed White Tiger changed into a Blood-Eyed White Tiger, awakening bloodlust and a craving for violence.
• Tang San told Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun that their desires drove their Martial Soul Evolution and that the Dark Blue Silver Emperor’s influence would make them stronger without harmful effects.

Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun gained power from the Dark Blue Silver Emperor, evolving their martial souls while taking on its dark influence. Tang San concealed that the gift also bound them to him, and the chapter ended with the three returning toward Shrek Academy as a tournament approached.

• Dai Mubai discovered that his senses had sharpened and his eyes had turned blood-red after absorbing life energy.
• Ma Hongjun saw purple-black flames in his eyes and found that his Evil Fire Phoenix had evolved into the Evil Phoenix.
• Tang San told Ma Hongjun to return to Shrek Academy and obtain his fourth Soul Ring before the tournament.
• Ma Hongjun thanked Tang San and flew back to the academy, leaving a trail of eerie purple-black fire.
• Tang San privately revealed that the Dark Blue Silver Emperor's power planted a dark seed and let him control the source imprints in Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun.
• Dai Mubai asked Tang San about his red eyes, and Tang San admitted they were a price of power before leading him back to the academy.
