Chapter Summaries

Lin Mengmeng secured Tiandou's acceptance of a 10,000-square-kilometer fief for Spirit Hall's outlying sect, and Dai Lingchen agreed to the proposed compensation in exchange for a continuing Soul Master training program. The three parties signed a preliminary compensation agreement and moved on to discuss the Dragon-Slaying Operation.

• Lin Mengmeng showed Xue Xing the Spirit Hall Elder Council's resolution to establish an outlying sect, but insisted that its 10,000-square-kilometer fief was essential while allowing negotiation over its location and resources.
• Xue Qinghe urged Xue Xing to accept the fief and suggested an exchange program with Heaven Dou Royal Academy, after which Xue Xing agreed on Tiandou's behalf, pending the Star Luo Empire's answer.
• Dai Lingchen agreed that the Star Luo Empire would pay 100 million Gold Soul Coins and demanded that the outlying sect continuously train three teams from Star Luo Royal Academy for their return to the empire.
• Lin Mengmeng accepted Dai Lingchen's demand, and Xue Xing requested a similar program for one Tiandou team; Lin Mengmeng agreed to both requests.
• Dai Lingchen, Xue Xing, and Lin Mengmeng signed and exchanged the compensation agreement, then Lin Mengmeng raised the Dragon-Slaying Operation as the next item.

The three parties agreed to a plan to destroy the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, while Xue Qinghe arranged a private meeting with three Spirit Hall enshrined elders. Golden Crocodile Douluo revealed that Bibi Dong had also changed, leaving Qian Renxue to reconsider the purpose of Spirit Hall’s externally established sect.

• Lin Mengmeng, Xue Xing, and Dai Lingchen agreed that Spirit Hall’s attack would begin the operation to eliminate the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and its collateral branches.
• Xue Qinghe asked Xue Xing to let him handle negotiations with Spirit Hall about the site for its externally established sect, and Xue Xing agreed.
• Xue Qinghe prepared tea in a guarded palace room and received Golden Crocodile Douluo, Azure Luan Douluo, and Light Feather Douluo through a secret passage.
• Qian Renxue asked whether the externally established sect was meant to support her rise to the throne, and Golden Crocodile Douluo said the elders likely planned it to distance themselves from Bibi Dong.
• Golden Crocodile Douluo told Qian Renxue that something had gone wrong with Bibi Dong as well as Qian Daoliu, and Qian Renxue fell silent.

Qian Renxue suspected Xu Huxiao might know the truth behind the eerie transformations affecting Bibi Dong and the Great Enshrined, and persuaded Golden Crocodile Douluo not to capture him. Alone afterward, she wondered whether Xu Huxiao could help her choose what path to follow.

• Golden Crocodile Douluo told Qian Renxue that Bibi Dong had fled into a Purple-Black Evil Secret Realm whose devouring force nearly dragged him inside.
• Qian Renxue identified Xu Huxiao as a possible source of answers and explained his extraordinary victory over the Peerless Dragon and Snake's Martial Soul Fusion Skill.
• Golden Crocodile Douluo offered to capture Xu Huxiao, but Qian Renxue objected and proposed approaching him through the newly established external sect instead.
• Qian Renxue rejected a proposal for the enshrined to take over the external sect, choosing to keep their identities hidden and continue gathering information through her Tiandou resources.
• After the others left, Qian Renxue reflected on her loneliness and wondered whether Xu Huxiao might be the answer to her choice.

Yu Yuanzhen had undergone an eldritch transformation and was directing the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan’s worship of the Demonic Lightning Dragon God. The chapter ended as transformed clansmen begged him for help, warning that the god’s influence was consuming their minds and humanity.

• The chapter described the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan’s mountain stronghold and the thunder pool it used to temper its members.
• Yu Yuanzhen emerged from the pool transformed into a dragon-like monster, then shifted back into human form and ordered a prayer gathering and a meeting with Deputy Clan Leader Black Dragon.
• Hundreds of main-lineage clansmen prayed to the Demonic Lightning Dragon God while Yu Yuanzhen watched for signs of their transformation.
• Yu Yuanzhen entered a guarded prayer chamber, where a dozen clansmen with green pupils worshipped a small, sinister statue he had found among ancient relics.
• Several clansmen cried out that the statue was devouring their humanity and minds, and begged Yu Yuanzhen to save them.
