Chapter Summaries

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 Hao watched Tang San’s decline and decided that the time had come for him to awaken his true bloodline.
• Tang Hao led Tang San past the Death Zone and deeper into the Great Star Dou Forest, where no Soul Beast dared approach them.

Tang San reached Blue Silver Forest, where the Blue Silver King began awakening his Blue Silver Emperor bloodline despite warning that the darkness within him could alter the result. Three days later, Tang San remained sealed in a cocoon as its blue-gold glow turned crimson, while Tang Hao watched anxiously from outside.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

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.

• 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.

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.
