Lu Chen arrived at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eyes just as Song Yunzhi and a Shrek party began seizing its immortal herbs and soul beasts under Lord Sea God's decree. He killed Qian Duoduo while saving Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass, then faced Song Yunzhi.

Lu Chen arrived at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eyes, killed Qian Duoduo, and tortured Xian Lin'er with Life Exile until Song Yunzhi revealed that Tang San had ordered Shrek to seize the Immortal Herbs. After discovering Tang San’s Divine Sense mark in the Poison Scripture, Lu Chen and Electrolux confronted Tang San’s phantom, and Lu Chen launched his Fist of Annihilation.

• Lu Chen appeared in the valley and slapped Qian Duoduo to death, shocking Song Yunzhi, Xian Lin'er, Wu Ming, and the Shrek disciples.

• Tang San’s Sea God phantom appeared and shouted at Lu Chen and Electrolux, but Lu Chen broke its trident and struck at it with his Fist of Annihilation.

Tang San lost his Divine Thought spy on Douluo Star after Lu Chen erased it, while Destruction and the Goddess of Life discovered the Abyssal Plane approaching under Asura Divine Power. Destruction persuaded Life to let Lu Chen face the invasion, hoping the danger would help him grow and expose Tang San’s plans.

• Life prepared to eliminate the invading plane and punish Tang San, but Destruction stopped her and argued that the invasion could push Lu Chen to grow stronger.
• Life decided to notify the God Kings of Kindness and Evil and seek a committee judgment against Tang San, while Destruction hoped to extend Tang San’s confinement and draw him out.

Lu Chen and Electrolux erased Tang San’s Divine Thought mark at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eyes, where Youyou revealed how she had secretly helped Lu Chen. When Song Yunzhi tried to leave with the Shrek group, Lu Chen killed her, leaving the disciples and Xian Lin'er terrified.

• The God of Destruction persuaded the Goddess of Life to let the Abyssal Plane continue connecting to Douluo Star, though she vowed to destroy it if it escaped their control.

• Xian Lin'er cried out over her mother’s death as the Shrek disciples collapsed in terror.

• Xian Lin'er ignited her Life Origin and tried to detonate her Soul Core, while Jiang Nannan urged Lu Chen to stop her and the others fled the valley.
• Lu Chen revealed three unusual Soul Rings and summoned a massive Thunder Dragon, whose lightning reduced Wu Ming and the fleeing Shrek disciples to ash and left Xian Lin'er charred.

• Lu Chen collected three Soul Bones from Xian Lin'er’s remains, including a Hundred Thousand Year Left Leg Bone, then blasted apart Song Yunzhi’s corpse and found another three Soul Bones, including a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone.
• Meiying removed the Soul Bones from Qian Duoduo’s body as Lu Chen told the group to absorb the Soul Spirits first.

Lu Chen persuaded the Immortal Herbs to leave the exposed Ice and Fire Spring Eye and settle at the Body Sect as Soul Spirits. After revealing a powerful Snow Lotus, he crushed it with his pressure and forced it to choose between becoming Vina’s Lifebound Soul Spirit or dying for its Soul Bone.

• Lu Chen explained why Shrek distributed its Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Bones among several elders, then warned the Immortal Herbs that Tang San had marked them as rebels.
• Lu Chen offered the Immortal Herbs a safe home at the Body Sect and the chance to form Soul Spirit bonds; Youyou agreed, and the others followed.
• Lu Chen said he would take the Ice Fire Dragon King first, then revealed a Fierce Beast-level Snow Lotus from his Universe Pouch.
• The Snow Lotus spoke coldly to Emperor Beast, and Lu Chen crushed it with his physical pressure after it insulted his kindness.
• Lu Chen pointed to Vina and demanded that the Snow Lotus become her Lifebound Soul Spirit or die so he could take its Soul Bone.

Lu Chen and Electrolux fused the 200,000-year Snow Lotus Fierce Beast with Vina, raising her Soul Power to level sixty-five and strengthening her ice attribute. With Vina's Twin Martial Souls in mind, Lu Chen chose the Ice Crystal Immortal Herb as her next Soul Spirit.

• Lu Chen persuaded Vina to accept Snow Lotus and had her prepare for the fusion while Electrolux took charge of the process.
• Electrolux fused Snow Lotus with Vina's Snow Lotus Martial Soul, and Snow Lotus emerged as a spirit-like being after the formation dissipated.
• Vina's Soul Power rose from level fifty-one to sixty-five, and her ice attribute grew stronger.
• Lu Chen reminded everyone that Vina could absorb another Soul Spirit because she had Twin Martial Souls, prompting the Immortal Herbs to volunteer.
• Lu Chen selected the 120,000-year Ice Crystal Immortal Herb, hoping it would evolve Vina's ice attribute toward the Ultimate Attribute.

Vina and Long Aotian absorbed Immortal Herbs as Lifebound Soul Spirits, completing Second Silver Awakenings and gaining major increases in Soul Power and Soul Ring strength. Lu Chen then prepared to absorb the Ice Fire Dragon Kings’ origins, learning that Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum and Eight-Angled Mysterious Ice Grass could take in their dragon souls and help him gain their attributes.

• Vina absorbed Ice Crystal Immortal Herb, gained Ultimate Ice and a Hundred-Thousand-Year Head Soul Bone, and reached Soul Power level seventy-three.
• Vina completed her Second Silver Awakening, raising her Soul Ring age limits by forty thousand years and bringing her configuration to four black and three red rings.
• Long Aotian chose Eight-Petal Orchid, completed his Second Silver Awakening, reached level seventy-one, and raised his fifth Soul Ring to one hundred thousand years.
• Lu Chen said Shi Potian and the others would wait for better-matched Soul Spirits in the Star Dou Forest, then asked Meiying to pack the valley’s Immortal Herbs.
• Lu Chen went to absorb the Ice Fire Dragon Kings, but Electrolux advised having Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum and Eight-Angled Mysterious Ice Grass absorb their dragon souls so they could help strengthen Lu Chen and grant him their attributes.

Lu Chen absorbed the Narcissus Jade Muscle Bone as a Soul Spirit, then entered the Ice and Fire Spring Eye to draw the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings’ Dragon Soul Origins for Xiaogu and Daju. As both herbs endured painful transformations and Lu Chen tempered his Glazed Golden Body, their rebirth began.

• Lu Chen absorbed the Narcissus Jade Muscle Bone, but the fusion barely improved his body, so he decided to seek dragon-type origins.
• Lu Chen descended into the spring, withstood the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings’ pressure, and summoned the Golden Behemoth to consume traces of their Dragon Soul Essence.
• Electrolux guided Daju and Xiaogu onto the dragon skeletons and drew out the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings’ origins for them to absorb.
• Daju endured the Fire Dragon King’s origin burning her soul, while Xiaogu endured the Ice Dragon King’s origin freezing her body.
• Lu Chen used the opposing ice and fire powers to refine his Glazed Golden Body as the two herbs’ bloodlines began transforming.

Lu Chen used the Ice Fire Dragon Kings’ Soul Bones to catalyze Daju and Xiaogu’s evolutions, while the Golden Behemoth consumed the remaining Dragon Clan essence. Their transformations strengthened Lu Chen and his Soul Rings, but his surging power destabilized the underwater cave, forcing him to retreat.

• Bei Yuxuan finished collecting spirit herbs in the valley and worried that Lu Chen would miss the Soul Master tournament, while the others noticed the spring water losing its color.
• At the lake bottom, the Golden Behemoth reached one hundred thousand years of cultivation by devouring the dragon bones’ remaining Dragon Clan origin.
• Lu Chen chose to use the Ice Fire Dragon Kings’ Soul Bones to catalyze Daju and Xiaogu instead of absorbing them himself.
• Daju evolved into a Crimson Flame Coiling Dragon Chrysanthemum and Xiaogu evolved into Ice Soul Jade Dragon Bone, with both reaching the Million-Year realm.
• Lu Chen’s fourth and fifth Soul Rings turned gold, and his Glazed Golden Body advanced as he approached the Three-Level God bottleneck.
• Lu Chen collected the dragon skulls and ordered Daju and Xiaogu into his Sea of Spirit as his power caused the underwater cave to collapse.

Lu Chen escaped the collapse of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eyes, collected the poisonous flowers around it, and set out for the Star Dou Forest competition. Meanwhile, Xu Tianran planned to use the tournament to kill Lu Chen with the Holy Spirit Cult and Sun Moon Empire weapons, including a Pseudo-Tenth-Level Soul Tool.

• Lu Chen and his companions escaped as the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eyes collapsed, and he reassured them that they were safe.
• Lu Chen collected nearly all the Jade-Scaled Nine-Extinction Flowers and some Seven-Extinction Flowers, clearing the toxic miasma around the valley.
• Lu Chen agreed to head with Bei Yuxuan and the others to the Star Dou Forest for the competition.
• Xu Tianran told Ju Zi that he intended to use the Holy Spirit Cult to help eliminate Lu Chen and had instructed Jing Hongchen to deploy Ninth-Level Soul Tools and a Pseudo-Tenth-Level Soul Tool if an opportunity arose.
• Xu Tianran dismissed Ju Zi's concerns about civilian casualties and invoked her parents' deaths to secure her agreement; he promised she would command the army after their wedding.

Lu Chen returned to the Star Dou Forest with Emperor Beast and killed Xiong Jun after he threatened to imprison her. He then ordered Bei Yuxuan to absorb a Soul Spirit, leaving Di Tian enraged but warned not to interfere with Emperor Beast’s freedom.

• Xu Tianran went to meet Silver Moon Douluo, hoping to enlist him against Lu Chen.
• Di Tian sensed Emperor Beast’s return and warned Xiong Jun not to harm Lu Chen or interfere with the Auspicious Beast.
• Lu Chen appeared above the Lake of Life and pinned Xiong Jun down with his aura.
• When Di Tian tried to protect Xiong Jun, Lu Chen pierced his Dragon God's Claw with the Fire Dragon King's ultimate move and killed Xiong Jun with Dragonflame Piercing Kill Finger.
• Lu Chen summoned a Darkgolden Terrorclaw Bear for Bei Yuxuan to absorb as a Soul Spirit, then told Di Tian that Emperor Beast was his and would not be imprisoned.

Lu Chen spared Di Tian at the Emperor Beast’s request, revealed his completed Lifebound Soul Spirit research, and helped Bei Yuxuan absorb Xiong Jun’s essence through a captured Darkgolden Terrorclaw Bear. Bei Yuxuan reached level eighty-one and gained a powerful External Soul Bone, while Shi Potian spotted another one on Xiong Jun’s claw.

• The Emperor Beast asked Lu Chen not to kill Di Tian, and Lu Chen agreed before telling Di Tian that his Lifebound Soul Spirit research had succeeded.
• Lu Chen summoned Xiao Lei, Daju, and Xiaogu, and Di Tian questioned how Daju and Xiaogu had acquired the bloodlines of the Water-and-Fire Dragon Kings.
• Lu Chen offered a captured ten-thousand-year Darkgolden Terrorclaw Bear the choice of becoming a Soul Spirit or dying, and it submitted to him.
• Lu Chen had Bei Yuxuan fuse with Xiong Jun’s lifebound essence while the Darkgolden Terrorclaw Bear devoured it, raising Bei Yuxuan to level eighty-one with three five-hundred-thousand-year Soul Rings.
• Bei Yuxuan gained an External Soul Bone with devastating cutting power, and Shi Potian pointed out another External Soul Bone on Xiong Jun’s right claw.

After Xiong Jun's death, Lu Chen gave Meiying the 480,000-year Darkgolden Terrorclaw Soul Bone and asked Di Tian to help find Soul Beasts for his companions to become Soul Spirits. Meanwhile, the Emperor Beast set out with Scarlet King to raid Xiong Jun's home for Soul Bones, and Lu Chen kept one special Soul Beast for himself to find.

• Lu Chen handed Xiong Jun's Soul Bone to Meiying, who accepted it and went off to absorb it after Bei Yuxuan and Lu Chen teased her about their relationship.
• Di Tian and Bi Ji discussed whether Soul Spirits could eventually live independently of their Soul Masters and what that might mean for Soul Beasts.
• The Emperor Beast rode with Scarlet King to Xiong Jun's territory to collect Soul Bones, then asked Scarlet King for fire-attribute Soul Bones from his home.
• Lu Chen asked Di Tian to find four hundred-thousand-year Soul Beasts with dragon and phoenix bloodlines, mental, spatial, or Void abilities, and Ancient Spirit Rabbit bloodlines or suitable alternatives.
• Di Tian asked about the remaining companion, and Lu Chen said he would find that Soul Beast himself.

Lu Chen found Shi Potian a dying Golden Tortoise with an auspicious beast bloodline and persuaded it to become his Soul Spirit. The transformation released the Living Being Gold it had swallowed and poured its immense cultivation into Shi Potian, raising him to Soul Saint before the chapter ended.

• Lu Chen led Shi Potian into the forest to find a Soul Spirit and eventually located a seemingly weak Golden Tortoise hidden in a boulder swamp.
• Lu Chen revealed that the Golden Tortoise had once cultivated for nearly two hundred thousand years but was dying after stealing and swallowing Di Tian's Living Being Gold.
• Lu Chen threatened to expose the Golden Tortoise to Di Tian, so it agreed to become Shi Potian's Soul Spirit.
• During the Soul Spirit contract, the Golden Tortoise expelled a head-sized piece of Living Being Gold, which Lu Chen stored away.
• Freed from the Living Being Gold's suppression, the Golden Tortoise transferred most of its immense cultivation to Shi Potian and condensed a Torso Bone for him.
• Shi Potian broke through to level seventy and continued rising to level seventy-three Soul Saint.

Lu Chen began contracting four powerful Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts with his companions at the Lake of Life before the Soul Master Tournament. Jiang Nannan, Meiying, and Xiao Xiao completed their fusions, with Xiao Xiao reaching Soul Emperor as the chapter ended.

• Di Tian brought Lu Chen four Fierce Beasts: a Landbreaking Azure Dragon, an Amethyst True Phoenix, a Moonshadow Divine Sable, and a Heavenly Nightmare Succubus Empress.
• Jiang Nannan contracted with the Moonshadow Divine Sable, broke through her bottleneck to level sixty-three, and received a hundred-and-twenty-thousand-year left leg bone.

• Xiao Xiao released her Twin Martial Souls, and Lu Chen directed the Landbreaking Azure Dragon and Amethyst True Phoenix to fuse with them.
