• Tang Hao activated Ring Detonation of the Great Sumeru Hammer and locked his Clear Sky Hammer onto the wounded Su Chen.

• Tang Hao refused to stop and detonated the hundred-thousand-year Soul Ring he had received from Ah Yin, gathering its power into his Clear Sky hammer.
• With his Soul Power exhausted and no one able to protect him, Su Chen faced Tang Hao's blood-colored hammer as it came within three feet of his head.

Su Chen unleashed the remnants of the Water Dragon King and Fire Dragon King’s divine origins to survive Tang Hao’s hundred-thousand-year Ring Detonation, awakening Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena. Gu Yuena stopped Tang Hao’s hammer and shattered it, then launched a spear attack at his chest.

• Gu Yuena declared that Tang Hao had harmed the dragons’ progenitor successor, shattered his blood-colored hammer, and drove her spear toward his chest.

Gu Yuena appeared in the palace battle, crippled Tang Hao and Tang San, then collapsed from her old injury and was caught by Su Chen. Su Chen and his allies escaped to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect’s Iron Wall Fortress, where his poison worsened as Gu Yuena’s spatial backlash began to freeze him.

• Gu Yuena shattered Tang Hao’s Clear Sky True Body with a spear thrust, severely injuring him and Tang San and forcing two Clear Sky Sect elders to carry them away.

• Ning Fengzhi ordered the group to retreat to the Glazed Tile Iron Wall Fortress, where they raised the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile City-Protecting Grand Array as Heaven Dou’s new rulers took control of the city.
• Su Chen’s poison broke through the Dragon Marrow’s temporary blockade, while Gu Yuena’s spatial turbulence began freezing him, so his companions rushed him toward the fortress’s underground chamber.

• Xiao Wu and the others left Su Chen alone with the injured Gu Yuena and Qian Renxue, then stood guard outside the secret chamber.

• Ning Fengzhi knocked at the secret chamber door and urgently announced that military reports had arrived from Heaven Dou Imperial Palace and Spirit City.

Su Chen and his allies fought through Heaven Dou Imperial City’s southern defenses and escaped the city, only to find the empire engulfed in civil war. As the convoy paused on the road, Su Chen caught an arrow shot from North Wind Canyon.

• The Clear Sky Sect elders, Yu Luomian, imperial guards, and royal Soul Masters attacked Ning Fengzhi’s convoy at the southern gate while cavalry closed in from both sides.

• Su Chen and Qian Renxue fought Yu Luomian and the imperial Soul Douluo, and Su Chen wounded Yu Luomian before destroying the outer gate with his Ice-Fire Dragon Emperor Annihilation Storm-break.
• The surviving deathsworn escorted the carriages out of the city as Chen Xin cut down the drawbridge and blocked the infantry’s pursuit.
• The convoy raced through a countryside filled with burning garrison towns and battles between rebel forces and armies loyal to the feudal lords.
• After the convoy paused at a sheltered slope, Su Chen caught an arrow fired from the direction of North Wind Canyon.

Su Chen uncovered Yu Xiaogang’s ambush against Skywater Academy and split his allies into groups to counter it. He reached North Wind Canyon with six women as Dugu Bo poisoned the hidden archers and sent the enemy’s fire-oil barrels crashing into the trapped cavalry.

• Su Chen inspected North Wind Canyon and saw that Yu Xiaogang had trapped Skywater Academy as bait, with archers and fire oil concealed on the cliffs.
• Su Chen sent Ning Fengzhi, Sword Douluo, and Bone Douluo to delay the pursuing army, ordered Dugu Bo to poison the hidden troops, and led six women around to block the canyon’s southern exit.
• Shui Bing’er and the wounded Skywater Academy women refused Yu Xiaogang’s demand to surrender, even as their ice shield weakened under the cavalry’s assault.
• Yu Xiaogang spotted Su Chen arriving with only six women and ordered the archers to attack, but Dugu Bo revealed that he had already taken them out.
• Dugu Bo swept the fire-oil barrels down the cliffs, drenching the tightly packed cavalry as Flender shouted for the soldiers to scatter.

Su Chen turned Yu Xiaogang’s ambush into a fiery rout, rescued Shui Bing’er and Skywater Academy, and escaped toward Glazed Tile Fortress City as the capital’s cavalry approached. Shui Bing’er’s Ice Phoenix power then froze her near death, leaving Su Chen trying to save her with Pure Yang Ancestral Dragon True Fire.

• Su Chen ignited the fierce fire oil in North Wind Canyon, destroying Yu Xiaogang’s ambush and killing the three thousand elite troops.
• Su Chen, Qian Renxue, Dugu Bo, and the others defeated the defenders; Liu Erlong and Flender fled with Yu Xiaogang and the badly wounded Yu Tianheng.
• Shui Bing’er’s Ice Phoenix origin turned against her and froze her heart meridian just after she thanked Su Chen for saving her.
• After Dugu Bo warned that forty thousand cavalry were approaching, Su Chen carried Shui Bing’er and led the group south toward Glazed Tile Fortress City.
• As Shui Bing’er’s breathing nearly stopped, Su Chen parted her ice-blue robes and pressed his Pure Yang Ancestral Dragon True Fire against her heart meridian.

Su Chen used his Dragon Qi and Soul Power to revive Shui Bing'er and explain that her deeper cold injury still needed treatment. After the group reached Glazed Tile Fortress City, Ning Fengzhi arranged safe lodging for the Skywater Academy women, while Su Chen headed to his guarded meditation room.

• Ning Rongrong, Xiao Wu, Zhu Zhuqing, Dugu Yan, and Ye Lingling escorted the Skywater women to Tingxue Pavilion, while Su Chen went to the guarded meditation room.

Su Chen comforted Qian Renxue after the collapse of her undercover mission, while Xue Xing’s court devised a plan to weaken the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect by attacking its outposts. The chapter ended when Shui Yue'er rushed to Su Chen for help after her sister’s extreme-cold condition suddenly worsened.

• Su Chen confirmed that Gu Yuena was recovering, then reassured Qian Renxue that the Eastern Palace’s surviving agents gave her a chance to rebuild; she told him she would no longer be Xue Qinghe and would only be his Qian Renxue.

• The Second Elder approved the strategy to use allied forces to chip away at the sect’s territory and outlying strongholds.
• Shui Yue'er hurried to Su Chen’s courtyard and pleaded for him to save her sister after the extreme cold in her dantian suddenly flared up.
