Chapter Summaries

Lin Yuan defeated Yan Shaozhe in a devastating clash after Yan Shaozhe burned his essence blood and unleashed his full power. With Lin Yuan left severely weakened, Gu Yuena stepped in to protect him and activated her ninth soul ring.

• Yan Shaozhe burned his essence blood and reached Rank 96 before unleashing Phoenix Descent against Lin Yuan.
• Lin Yuan restored some Soul Power with his Azure Dragon External Soul Bone, evaded Yan Shaozhe's attacks, and answered with Qilin Step.
• The collision of their Super Douluo-level attacks nearly destroyed the Hall of Virtue, and Lin Yuan emerged alive while Yan Shaozhe died.
• The Native Continent's Titled Douluo targeted the weakened Lin Yuan, but Gu Yuena drove back Du Busi and Song Lao and shielded him.
• Gu Yuena became enraged by Lin Yuan's injuries and finally activated her ninth soul ring.

Gu Yuena unleashed her Ninth Soul Skill, Authority of Destruction, and overwhelmed the Five-Party Allied Army as Du Busi and Song Lao tried to escape. Snow Empress’s attempt to detonate her cultivation disrupted Gu Yuena’s attack, allowing Du Busi to flee, while Gu Yuena suppressed Snow Empress and the battle ended.

• Gu Yuena spread her Destruction Domain, crushing the allied army’s attacks and killing two Titled Douluo as Du Busi and Song Lao attempted to retreat.
• A soldier emerged from the earth with the God-Sealing Platform and delivered it to Du Busi, who broke its seal to release the soul beast embryo.
• Snow Empress emerged and tried to destroy herself with her cultivation, forcing Gu Yuena to suppress her while diverting an attack toward Du Busi and Song Lao.
• Du Busi burned some of his essence blood to repel Gu Yuena’s Silver Dragon Spear, then escaped as Song Lao’s situation remained uncertain.
• Gu Yuena sealed Snow Empress again, and Jing Hongchen told her to handle the item after the fighting stopped.

After recovering from the battle, Lin Yuan offered the Snow Empress the choice to merge with him or die, and she hesitated after sensing his extraordinary potential. Gu Yuena and Lin Yuan then revealed an ancient Soul Spirit Contract that could preserve her consciousness.

• Jing Hongchen realized the soul beast in the God-Sealing Platform was likely the Snow Empress and decided Lin Yuan should try to absorb her power instead of Xiao Hongchen.
• Lin Yuan spent several days recovering while Gu Yuena suppressed the Snow Empress's remnant soul inside the weakened God-Sealing Platform.
• Lin Yuan offered the Snow Empress a choice between becoming his power and dying completely.
• The Snow Empress recognized Lin Yuan's rare Heavenly Stem Qilin power and reconsidered after sensing his potential to bear her strength and possibly become a god.
• Lin Yuan revealed his Hades Sword, and he and Gu Yuena showed the Snow Empress an ancient Soul Spirit Contract.

Lin Yuan formed an equal Soul Spirit Contract with the Snow Empress, giving his Hades Sword four soul skills and raising his Soul Power to level seventy. He realized he needed a seventh soul ring and remembered the Ice-Fire Mandarin Duck Pot.

• Lin Yuan swore to preserve the Snow Empress's consciousness, and she agreed to become his soul spirit.
• Gu Yuena guided Lin Yuan and the Snow Empress through the equal contract, sealing the Snow Empress's power into four orange-gold soul rings on the Hades Sword.
• The Snow Empress merged into Lin Yuan's Sea of Spirit and discovered that his spiritual power had reached the Formed Yet Intangible realm.
• Lin Yuan examined the Hades Sword's four new soul skills: Snow Nether Thousand Blades, Ice Domain Soul-Sealing Slash, Frost-Sealed Nether Coffin, and Emperor Sword—Hades Unrivaled.
• The fusion raised Lin Yuan's Soul Power to level seventy and strengthened his body to rival a Titled Douluo, so he thought of the Ice-Fire Mandarin Duck Pot before seeking a seventh soul ring.

Lin Yuan and Gu Yuena entered the Ice-Fire Mandarin Duck Pot, where they confronted its guardian, Youyou, and Lin Yuan began selecting immortal herbs. After taking one herb suited to his powers, he moved to claim the Ink Jade Divine Bamboo for his Hades Sword, but Youyou warned him that a person could consume only one immortal herb.

• Lin Yuan and Gu Yuena traveled to Sunset Forest and used Gu Yuena's spatial power to pass the poisonous barrier into the valley.
• Gu Yuena summoned the Silver Dragon King’s phantom, forcing Youyou, the hundred-thousand-year Aromatic Silk Beauty, to stop testing them.
• Lin Yuan recognized Youyou as Tang San’s watchdog and searched the valley for immortal herbs suited to himself.
• Lin Yuan plucked an immortal herb that could reconcile his conflicting powers and purify his martial soul’s origin.
• Lin Yuan moved to take the Ink Jade Divine Bamboo for his Hades Sword, but Youyou warned him that he could consume only one immortal herb.
