• Huo Yuhao flew out of Sleeping Nightmare Douluo’s reach and sent the Holy Spirit Soul-Eating Flame into Ma Xiaotao’s Sea of Consciousness.

• Zhongli Wu recognized the three figures as members of the Body Sect.

Huang Huifeng, Du Busi, and Jin Peng revealed that they had been guarding Huo Yuhao, and Du Busi confronted Zhongli Wu over the Holy Spirit Cult’s attempt to claim him.

The Holy Spirit Cult fled Shrek City after Mu En used the Sea God’s Light to break the Death God Tower, leaving the Dragon God Douluo near death. Huo Yuhao worked to free Ma Xiaotao from the cult’s control, while Elder Lin revealed that Yuhao had funded his purchase of the Desperate Land Map by selling Foundation Establishment Spirit Liquid.

• Elder Lin told Xuan Zi that Huo Yuhao had sold Foundation Establishment Spirit Liquid to obtain the money for the Desperate Land Map.

After Huo Yuhao removed the Holy Spirit Cult’s restrictions and resentment from Ma Xiaotao, he urged her to accept her evil fire rather than fear it. Ma Xiaotao embraced her power, awakened a dark fire phoenix martial soul with ultimate fire, and felt stronger and in control.

• Huo Yuhao sensed that something unusual was about to happen.

• A colossal Twin Cyclops with fire and spiritual attributes arrived, and Huo Yuhao recognized the rare soul beast with delight.
• Brother Sky Dream warned Huo Yuhao that the Twin Cyclops was fleeing from something, just as a pale golden figure shot toward them.

Xuan Zi prepared to protect Huo Yuhao and the other students as a hundred-thousand-year Twin Cyclops fled into their path, pursued by a Three-Eyed Golden Lion. Huo Yuhao learned that the lion was an Emperor Auspicious Beast, but the Twin Cyclops attacked it anyway and turned its attention toward the humans.

• Xuan Zi recognized the fleeing Twin Cyclops as a hundred-thousand-year soul beast and told the students to prepare to leave.
• A golden, lion-shaped soul beast appeared, and Tian Meng and the Ice Empress warned Huo Yuhao that she was a Three-Eyed Golden Lion and an Emperor Auspicious Beast.
• The Ice Empress explained that the Three-Eyed Golden Lion had about fifteen thousand years of cultivation but commanded the reverence of soul beasts and could match an ordinary hundred-thousand-year soul beast.
• The Twin Cyclops declared that it would use its power of destruction against the Three-Eyed Golden Lion and unleashed a fused golden-and-crimson beam.
• The Twin Cyclops noticed Huo Yuhao's potent fire and mental attributes and decided to devour him to prepare for its heavenly tribulation.

• The Twin Cyclops used all his origin power to attack the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, hoping to replace her as the Emperor Auspicious Beast.
• Xuan Zi summoned his Godly Taotie Bull martial soul, raised protective walls around Huo Yuhao and the others, and began using Heaven and Earth Resonance.
• The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm and the Ice Empress warned Huo Yuhao to run when a huge dark-gold bear approached.

• Huo Yuhao realized the attacks of the Twin Cyclops, Xuan Zi, and Xiong Jun were converging, and blamed the Twin Cyclops for provoking the danger.

Huo Yuhao was cut off from the Undead Demiplane by spatial rifts and faced the soul power tempest unleashed by Xuan Zi and Xiong Jun. The Three-Eyed Golden Lion protected him, sensed that his destiny was beyond her understanding, and confronted him about staring at her.

• Xuan Zi and Xiong Jun shattered the Twin Cyclops's attack, unleashing a soul power tempest that caught up with Huo Yuhao and his companions.
• Huo Yuhao used a gray hexagram to send Ning Tian, Wang Dong'er, and Xiao Xiao away, but spatial rifts prevented him from entering the Undead Demiplane.

After Huo Yuhao reunited Ning Tian, Wang Dong'er, and Xiao Xiao with the outside world, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion carried him at speed toward the Star Dou Great Forest's Core Area.

• Huo Yuhao explained that the Green Lotus Core Flame could overpower the Scarlet King and turn him into its puppet, so the Three-Eyed Golden Lion agreed to guide him to the magma cave.
• The Three-Eyed Golden Lion told Xiong Jun she was going to find the Scarlet King and asked him not to harm Xuan Zi, who was fighting him.

• Ning Tian, Wang Dong'er, and Xiao Xiao promised not to reveal Huo Yuhao's secret, and Wang Dong'er worried about him leaving with the Three-Eyed Golden Lion.
• The Three-Eyed Golden Lion let Huo Yuhao ride on her back and sped toward the Core Area of the Star Dou Great Forest.

Huo Yuhao followed the Three-Eyed Golden Lion into the Earth-Core Cave to find the green lotus core flame, but discovered it was far more powerful than he expected. He emerged from the magma before a possessed Scarlet King and a green-flame humanoid that declared it would make him its Fire Slave.

• The Three-Eyed Golden Lion led Huo Yuhao through a crimson desert and into a passage beneath the Star Dou Great Forest.

• The green-flame humanoid told Huo Yuhao it would devour him and make him its Fire Slave.

Huo Yuhao fought the Green Lotus Core Flame in its Earth-Core Cave domain while the Three-Eyed Golden Lion tried to summon Di Tian. He began trying to awaken the Scarlet King’s soul, and the chapter left him countering the Green Lotus Core Flame’s attack with the Snow Empress’s ice domain.

• Huo Yuhao warned the Three-Eyed Golden Lion that the Green Lotus Core Flame had enslaved the Scarlet King and was turning his flames green, so she contacted Di Tian for help.

Huo Yuhao destroyed the Green Lotus Core Flame’s consciousness with a Destruction Fire Lotus fueled by three heavenly flames and Sleeping Nightmare Douluo’s Soul Pearl. After Di Tian and the others arrived, Huo Yuhao said he needed to absorb the remaining heavenly flame to restore the Scarlet King’s sanity.

• Di Tian learned that the Scarlet King was still fighting the heavenly flame’s brand, and Huo Yuhao said he had to absorb the flame to help him.

After the Three-Eyed Golden Lion returned safely, Di Tian took Huo Yuhao to meet the Lord, who might help him absorb the Green Lotus Core Flame. Huo Yuhao came face to face with the Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena.

• The Three-Eyed Golden Lion apologized to Di Tian and Xiong Jun, then told them how Huo Yuhao had helped her and the Star Dou Great Forest.
• Huo Yuhao explained that he could not absorb the Green Lotus Core Flame at his current cultivation, and Di Tian summoned a spatial cage to contain it.

• Di Tian brought Huo Yuhao into a hut beside the lake, where Gu Yuena emerged from the spring and revealed herself to Huo Yuhao.

Huo Yuhao met Gu Yuena, who agreed to help him absorb the green lotus core flame and arranged for the Twin Cyclops to sacrifice his cultivation to protect him. With Gu Yuena’s help, Huo Yuhao entered the green lotus and examined its treasures before beginning the absorption.

• Huo Yuhao hoped the lotus’s treasures and Gu Yuena’s help would let him absorb the flame and eventually revive his two teachers.

Huo Yuhao extracted the Green Lotus Core Flame’s original Core Flame and swallowed it, enduring its destructive heat as it tore through his meridians. The Twin Cyclops began sacrificing its life and soul to grant him a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring, while the green flames inside him fused with its Blood Flame.
