As the vine weakened under its heavenly lightning tribulation, Chen Tianyuan decided he wanted it as his sixth soul ring, but the chapter ended before its fate was settled.

• Zhang Lexuan tried to approach Chen Tianyuan but was blocked by an invisible barrier, while the vine urged him to visit the Divine Realm and scold the Thunder God.

Chen Tianyuan survived the heavenly thunder that accompanied the Thunderclap Hellvine’s sacrifice, gaining a hundred-thousand-year soul ring and soul bone before waking badly injured back at the Body Sect. As Zhang Lexuan and the others cared for him, he learned his soul power had reached rank 64 and began a long recovery.

Chen Tianyuan endured the conflicting powers of the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and the Infernal Delicate Apricot, absorbed their two hundred thousand year soul rings, and consumed their bodies. After exploring the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well without reaching its bottom, he surfaced and revealed that both plants had become soul spirits.
