A jellyfish-headed soul master from the Sea God Family captured Zhang Peng and questioned him about Chen Ping, who had killed Holy Spirit Cult members and was suspected of killing a Demon Soul Great White Shark King. Chen Ping was discovered and trapped in razor-sharp threads, leaving him in a desperate situation.

• The jellyfish-headed woman interrogated Zhang Peng about the person who killed two Titled Douluos in Dongyang City, and he identified Chen Ping as Mu En's disciple and a major enemy of the Holy Spirit Cult.

• The woman wounded Zhang Peng, ordered him to kill an invisible Holy Spirit Cult soul master at the entrance, and warned him to keep her identity secret.
• Chen Ping realized the woman had detected him and tried to flee, but nearly invisible threads bound and cut him, exposing him to Zhang Peng and the woman.
• The woman recognized Chen Ping and prepared to capture him, while his Golden Body failed to break the threads cutting into his flesh.

Chen Ping and Zhang Peng were trapped in Jellyfish Douluo Hai Ling’s net, and Chen Ping used imitation Hearts of the Ocean to reveal the Sea God Family’s interest in his technology. As Hai Ling prepared to seize it, a terrifying presence appeared over the Evil Demon Forest, demanding to know who had killed its son.

• Jellyfish Douluo Hai Ling trapped Chen Ping and Zhang Peng in her Jellyfish Threads and demanded the Sea God’s Heart.
• Chen Ping claimed the Heart was an imitation, showed Hai Ling his crafting materials, and handed her several Hearts of the Ocean.
• Hai Ling recognized the imitations’ effects and demanded Chen Ping’s technology in exchange for a possible plea to the High Priest.
• Chen Ping cursed Hai Ling for valuing his technology over avenging Xiao Bai, then asked Zhang Peng about his Golden Cicada Sheds Its Shell skill.
• A furious voice demanded to know who had killed its son as overwhelming Spiritual Power twisted space across the Evil Demon Forest and brought Soul Beasts to their knees.

The Evil Emperor unleashed a devastating strike across the Evil Demon Forest while searching for the son Chen Ping had killed. Chen Ping survived the blast through the Snow Empress's technique and his Golden Body, though he was left badly burned.

• Zhang Peng realized that Chen Ping had crushed the Evil Eye Tyrant's Soul Crystal and triggered the Evil Emperor's fury.
• The Evil Emperor projected a blood-colored eye over the forest and searched for his son's soul fluctuations.
• Chen Ping used the Snow Empress's Snow Drifting as the Evil Emperor's attack struck, and the blast erased a thousand-meter area of forest.
• Chen Ping endured the heat and crawled out of the crater alive as his injuries began healing.

Chen Ping claimed Jellyfish Douluo Hai Ling’s external soul bone after the Evil Emperor’s strike and stood down Zhang Peng, who had demanded the spoils. After realizing the strike had killed the Evil Soul Masters at the Holy Spirit Cult headquarters, Chen Ping changed his approach and offered Zhang Peng a hundred-thousand-year Giant Palm Black Tiger left arm bone.

• Chen Ping found Jellyfish Douluo Hai Ling’s remains and discovered her blue jellyfish head soul bone.
• Zhang Peng returned using Golden Cicada Sheds Its Shell and demanded that Chen Ping hand over the soul bone, but backed down when Chen Ping threatened him.
• Zhang Peng asked for the Evil Eye Tyrant’s soul ring and soul bone instead, but Chen Ping refused and stored Hai Ling’s external soul bone.
• Chen Ping sensed that the Evil Emperor’s strike had killed the Holy Spirit Cult’s Evil Soul Masters, including two evil Titled Douluo.
• Chen Ping approached Zhang Peng with flattery and displayed a hundred-thousand-year Giant Palm Black Tiger left arm bone.

Chen Ping bribed Zhang Peng with two powerful soul bones and persuaded him to let Shrek’s forces raid the Holy Spirit Cult headquarters. After beginning to plunder the buried vault, Chen Ping left Zhang Peng a potential path to join Shrek and gain even more soul bones.

• Chen Ping gave Zhang Peng a hundred-thousand-year Giant Palm Black Tiger left arm bone and suggested he allow Shrek to take supplies from the Holy Spirit Cult headquarters while he sought reinforcements.
• Zhang Peng initially refused, but Chen Ping threatened him with the Aspect Rift-Splitting Finger, so Zhang Peng demanded another soul bone in exchange for his cooperation.

• Chen Ping invited Zhang Peng to join Shrek and promised to fill his remaining soul bone slots, but Zhang Peng rejected the offer and flew toward Mingdu.
• Chen Ping teleported into the buried secret vault and sent his undead construction army to haul away the Holy Spirit Cult’s wealth.

Chen Ping worried that the Sea God Family would threaten Shrek and examined the Jellyfish Head External Soul Bone he had taken from Jellyfish Douluo. His body rejected the low-aged Soul Bone, but he discovered he could still use its abilities as equipment and put it away.

• Chen Ping assessed the Sea God Family’s strength and felt pressure to help Shrek grow stronger before it became a target.
• Chen Ping put on the Jellyfish Head External Soul Bone and tried several times to absorb it, but his body rejected it as too weak.
• Chen Ping found that wearing the Jellyfish Head greatly enhanced his spiritual perception and let him divide his thoughts into many simultaneous calculations, at the cost of heavy spiritual power consumption.
• Chen Ping decided to keep the Jellyfish Head as equipment rather than absorb it.

After the Evil Emperor destroyed the Holy Spirit Cult’s headquarters, Chen Ping collected its treasures and returned to Shrek Academy for six months of secluded cultivation, reaching his twentieth birthday. Meanwhile, the Sun Moon Empire’s siege of Heaven Dou Imperial City stalled against its powerful defenders and seemingly inexhaustible soul cannon fire.

• Zhongli Wu devoured a defending general’s soul, then collapsed after learning that the Holy Spirit Cult’s headquarters, altar, and treasury had been destroyed, with only Scorpion Tiger Douluo surviving.
• Chen Ping counted the stolen treasures and Soul Bones in his Half-Plane, pleased that the raid had cost the Holy Spirit Cult so much.
• Chen Ping quietly returned to Shrek Academy, made arrangements, and began six months of secluded cultivation alongside Mu En.
• Chen Ping reached his twentieth birthday while still secluded, as the Sun Moon Empire’s campaign isolated Heaven Dou Imperial City.
• Xuan Zi and Du Busi resisted Long Xiaoyao atop the city walls, while the defenders’ soul cannons battered the Soul Engineer Corps and kept the siege from advancing.

The Sun Moon Empire abandoned its stalled siege of Heaven Dou and Star Luo after discovering that both cities were receiving supplies and reinforcements through Teleportation Arrays. With Ye Xishui nearing the end of her recovery, the Sea God Family threatened Shrek and the Body Sect, demanding that they hand someone over.

• Xu Tianran learned that a Teleportation Array inside Heaven Dou Imperial Palace had sustained the city's defenses, so the Sun Moon army shifted its attack to the Star Luo Empire.
• The Sun Moon army reached Star Luo Imperial City but found its defenses and supplies just as inexhaustible, then halted its advance after learning Ye Xishui was about to emerge from seclusion.
• Shrek and the Body Sect gained several stronger experts as they assimilated their Soul Bones, though Elder Song still fell short of level 98.
• The Sea God Family arrived at Shrek City after Hailing's unexplained death and demanded that someone be handed over.
• The Sea God Family warned Shrek and the Body Sect that it would return to seize the person by force after Ye Xishui emerged.

After reaching level 80, Chen Ping learned that three Limit Douluo-level opponents threatened Shrek, and the Sea God Pavilion elders discussed their lack of ways to counter them. The chapter ended with Chen Ping trying to lift their spirits by promising good news.

• Chen Ping emerged from seclusion at level 80 and learned that Dragon Emperor Douluo, Sea Emperor Douluo, and Ye Xishui posed a nearly unwinnable threat.
• Xuan Zi said he could no longer borrow power from the Golden Ancient Tree, and Chen Ping confirmed that Ah Yin had rejected his own request.

• Qian Duoduo and Yan Shaozhe tried to reassure the elders by praising Chen Ping’s soul rings and future potential.
• Chen Ping announced that he had some good news to share.

Chen Ping told Shrek Academy that the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect was relocating to Shrek City and would support it in the coming battles. News that the sect’s Level 96 Merciful Begonia Douluo possessed the legendary Nine Heart Begonia Martial Soul gave Xuan Zi hope that Shrek could withstand its powerful enemies, with Chen Ping emerging as the figure uniting the continent.

• Chen Ping explained that the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect had chosen to move to Shrek City after the Sun Moon Empire’s advances put its other bases at risk.
• Chen Ping said the sect had already secured new grounds in southern Shrek City by refunding shop owners and paying triple compensation, surprising the Elders with its wealth.
• Chen Ping revealed that the sect’s second Titled Douluo was Merciful Begonia, a Level 96 Soul Master with the Nine Heart Begonia Martial Soul.
• Xuan Zi recognized the strategic value of Merciful Begonia’s healing abilities and hoped that, with her and the sect’s enhancement, he and Du Busi could face Ye Xishui and Long Xiaoyao.
• Xuan Zi recalled how Shrek’s Pavilion Master had once united the continent against the Sun Moon Empire and saw Chen Ping now binding the continent together.

Chen Ping explained how the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect preserved the Nine Heart Begonia bloodline and revealed the powerful soul skills Ning Tian could eventually gain. The Elders realized Shrek’s forces might soon have extraordinary defensive support, while Ning Tian’s growth remained to come.

• Chen Ping explained that the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect had preserved the Nine Heart Begonia lineage by spreading its bloodline through the sect and allowing the martial soul to reappear when fewer than two successors lived.
• Cai Mei'er and the Elders praised Chen Ping’s explanation of how the Nine Heart Begonia legacy had endured for ten thousand years.
• Qian Duoduo excitedly urged Chen Ping to reveal his next piece of news, and Chen Ping said it concerned Ning Tian.
• Chen Ping reminded the Elders that Ning Tian’s Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda had opened her path to further cultivation after he helped her martial soul evolve.
• Chen Ping described Ning Rongrong’s eighth- and ninth-ring soul skills, and the Elders realized Ning Tian could eventually provide Shrek’s fighters with powerful, renewable defenses.

Chen Ping revealed how Ning Tian’s enhanced Soul Bone set had raised her cultivation to level seventy-nine, improving Shrek’s chances against the approaching Limit Douluos. With the elders discussing Chen Ping’s eighth Soul Ring, they considered hunting one for him and Yuhao before Ye Xishui emerged from seclusion.

• Chen Ping told the elders that Ning Tian had reached level seventy-nine after absorbing an enhanced Secret Art Soul Bone set, and that she could condense a Soul Core after reaching level eighty.
• Yan Shaozhe ordered Du Weilun to promote Teacher Mu Jin to Special-Grade Teacher because she had given Chen Ping a Secret Art Soul Bone that completed the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect’s fourth enhanced set.
• Chen Ping explained that Ning Tian, Sect Master Ning, and Matriarch Ye could support Xuan Zi or Du Busi with their Soul Power reserves, giving Shrek a better chance against Ye Xishui and the other Limit Douluos.
• Xuan Zi vowed that he and Du Busi would stop the three Limit Douluos even if it cost them their lives, while Xian Lin'er and Chen Ping comforted Elder Song over her stalled cultivation.
• Xuan Zi asked Chen Ping which Soul Beast he wanted for his eighth Soul Ring, and Elder Song suggested finding a roughly five-hundred-thousand-year Ferocious Beast Soul Ring for both Chen Ping and Yuhao.
• Elder Song ruled out the Myriad Demon King and Xiong Jun in Star Dou Forest because Shrek could not risk provoking Di Tian again.

Chen Ping gave Huo Yuhao a rare Evil Eye Tyrant soul ring and soul bone, then revealed a Teacher-Given Soul Ring developed by his teacher for his own eighth ring. The elders learned that Shrek no longer needed to search the ocean for suitable soul rings, while Chen Ping’s plan to prepare for the Sea God Family’s attack continued.

• Qian Duoduo proposed searching the ocean for soul rings for Chen Ping and Huo Yuhao, with Shrek’s ten Super Douluos supporting the expedition.
• Chen Ping gave Huo Yuhao a 160,000-year Evil Eye Tyrant soul ring and its soul bone, urging him to use them to strengthen his Martial Soul Fusion Skill with Ma Xiaotao.
• Huo Yuhao accepted the gifts and promised to protect Chen Ping from anyone who tried to kill him.
• When Yan Shaozhe asked about Chen Ping’s eighth soul ring, Chen Ping produced a golden Pearl and revealed that his teacher had developed a Teacher-Given Soul Ring.
• Chen Ping explained that the artificial soul ring could reach 999,999 years of cultivation, though he had chosen the Evil Eye Tyrant set for Huo Yuhao because of its rarity and Yuhao’s physical limits.

Chen Ping prepared to absorb an Artificial Soul Ring designed to help him survive the growing threat of the Limit Douluos. After Xuan Zi urged him to flee if Shrek’s situation became hopeless, Chen Ping began the trial with a Soul Skill modeled on Tang Yaolei’s Ring Accumulation ability.

• Xuan Zi advised Chen Ping to escape with Spatial Traversal rather than risk dying for the Three Great Empires if the tide turned against them.
• Chen Ping returned to secluded cultivation and brought out the golden Pearl to absorb its Artificial Soul Ring.
• Chen Ping released his Domination Domain as the Pearl shattered and golden mist covered him.
• The chapter explained that Electrolux and Elf had designed the Artificial Soul Ring to let Chen Ping choose edited Soul Skills.
• Nana had persuaded Tang Yaolei to spend three months at the Pill Pavilion so Electrolux could study his Ring Accumulation ability, which became one of Chen Ping’s Eighth Soul Ring skills.

Chen Ping chose Ring Accumulation over Ring Detonation as the safer, more sustainable way to contend with Tang San. He then began absorbing an artificially upgraded Eighth Soul Ring, enduring immense pressure as his body repeatedly broke down and repaired itself.

• Chen Ping weighed the dangers and limits of Ring Detonation against Ring Accumulation and decided that Ring Accumulation could let him outlast Tang San in battle.
• Golden threads enveloped Chen Ping as he released his soul power and began forming his Eighth Soul Ring.
• The Eighth Soul Ring reached two hundred thousand years, then continued accumulating golden patterns as Chen Ping pushed toward greater strength.
• As the ring's age rose toward six hundred thousand years, the pressure split Chen Ping's skin and overwhelmed his Golden Body.
• Chen Ping's soul core extracted power from his blood and the surrounding vitality, while the Living Being Carving Knife repaired his injuries and his tempered bones supported the absorption.

Chen Ping pushed his eighth soul ring beyond 600,000 years until it turned pale gold, while Ye Xishui arrived at Shrek City with the Holy Spirit Cult and demanded that Chen Ping be handed over. Xuan Zi confronted her, and her anger at his taunts erupted into an attack.

• Chen Ping continued absorbing his artificial eighth soul ring as it surpassed 600,000 years and turned pale gold.
• Ye Xishui’s demonic voice swept across Shrek City, prompting Xuan Zi to activate the city’s defenses and confront her.
• Ye Xishui announced that she had come to kill Chen Ping, citing both his injury to her and her hatred of Mu En.
• Xuan Zi mocked Ye Xishui for avoiding Shrek while Mu En was there, enraging her.
• Ye Xishui summoned a blood-colored, twelve-winged figure and slashed at Xuan Zi.

The Holy Spirit Cult attacked Shrek City, but Ning Tian and Wu Feng bolstered the defenders with their Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda. Long Xiaoyao overcame his hesitation and joined the assault, prompting Du Busi to confront and rebuke him as the battle continued.

• Ning Tian and Wu Feng took positions on Shrek City's wall, and Xuan Zi blocked Ye Xishui's attack as the Holy Spirit Cult and Shrek forces clashed.
• Yan Shaozhe discovered that Zhang Peng had reached level 97, and the two secretly held back while the other fighters battled in earnest.
• Long Xiaoyao hesitated to attack Shrek City but charged after Ye Xishui softly urged him to act.
• Du Busi stopped Long Xiaoyao and condemned him for betraying Mu En by helping Ye Xishui capture Chen Ping.
• Long Xiaoyao transformed into a black dragon and struck at Du Busi, who withstood the blow with Ning Junping's enhancement.
• Ye Xishui challenged the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect for supporting Shrek.

Ning Junping rejected Ye Xishui’s threats and affirmed that the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect would stand with Shrek City against the Holy Spirit Cult and the Sun Moon Empire. Ye Xishui focused on killing the badly wounded Xuan Zi, leaving him struggling to survive her accelerating attacks.

• Ning Junping argued that the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect would face annihilation if it abandoned Shrek City to the Holy Spirit Cult and the Sun Moon Empire.
• Ye Xishui decided to break the stalemate by defeating Xuan Zi, whose fall would leave Shrek City without strength to resist a Limit Douluo.
• Xuan Zi fought Ye Xishui with Ning Tian’s enhancement, but her relentless attacks cracked his armor and broke his left arm.
• Ye Xishui taunted Xuan Zi about Mu En and vowed to kill him before hunting down Chen Ping.
• Ye Xishui outpaced Xuan Zi and slashed his abdomen, pressing her attack so he could not repair his Energy Armorization.

Matriarch Ye of the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect revealed her Nine Heart Begonia and healed Xuan Zi, turning the battle for Shrek into a war of attrition. After a day and night of fighting, the Holy Spirit Cult had lost four Evil Soul Titled Douluos while Shrek’s forces remained unscathed.

• Matriarch Ye healed Xuan Zi with a thousand-year Soul Skill, restoring his wounds and broken arm.
• Ye Xishui realized that Matriarch Ye’s healing could keep Xuan Zi and Du Busi fighting unless they were killed outright or exhausted their Soul Power.
• Zhongli Wu struggled against Shrek’s fighters as healing and support repeatedly erased the Holy Spirit Cult’s progress.
• After a day and night, four Evil Soul Titled Douluos had been killed, while Shrek’s forces remained uninjured.
• The Holy Spirit Cult’s failure to target support Soul Masters left its forces losing a battle of attrition, with at least three of the four dead Titled Douluos slain by supported surprise attacks.

The Sea God Family arrived at Shrek after waiting for the Holy Spirit Cult to weaken, and Sea Emperor Douluo Hai Wuliang offered to cooperate with Ye Xishui and Long Xiaoyao to capture and kill Chen Ping. Long Xiaoyao tried to disrupt the deal, but Ye Xishui accepted the Sea God Family’s offer, angered by Long Xiaoyao’s defiance.

• The Sea God Family revealed that it had stayed near Shrek, waiting for the Holy Spirit Cult and Shrek to weaken before moving against Chen Ping.
• Sea Emperor Douluo Hai Wuliang arrived with five other Soul Masters, including Sea Dragon Douluo Hai Bodong and the remaining Seven Sacred Pillars.
• Hai Wuliang and Hai Bodong pledged to capture Chen Ping, extract information from him, and kill him in exchange for the Holy Spirit Cult’s cooperation.
• Long Xiaoyao opposed the Sea God Family’s plan, while Ye Xishui agreed to cooperate and resented his attempt to undermine her.

Sea Emperor Douluo Hai Wuliang pressed toward Shrek City and demanded to know where Chen Ping was, while Shi Xing used his space-time powers to hold him back. The delay gave Huo Yuhao and Ma Xiaotao time to complete their martial soul fusion, blending ultimate frost and phoenix evil fire into a new balance.

• Long Xiaoyao accepted Ye Xishui's point, and Sea Emperor Douluo Hai Wuliang advanced toward Shrek City as Long Xiaoyao held Xuan Zi and Du Busi back.
• Shi Xing blocked Hai Wuliang and evaded his first grab with Time Acceleration and Time Deceleration, then refused to reveal Chen Ping's whereabouts.
• Hai Wuliang revealed his nine soul rings and reached for Shi Xing, who used Reversing Time and Space, Reversing the Future to push the attack backward at the cost of nearly breaking his martial soul.
• Shi Xing held Hai Wuliang back for several seconds while Huo Yuhao and Ma Xiaotao completed their martial soul fusion inside Shrek City.
• The Evil Fire Phoenix and Ice Jade Scorpion merged their dark-red flames and ice-blue frost into a balanced power that combined burning ice and soul-freezing flame.

Huo Yuhao and Ma Xiaotao unleashed a god-level ice-and-fire fusion attack against Sea Emperor Douluo, forcing Hai Wuliang to invoke the Sea God Helmet and temporarily reach level-100 power. He counterattacked with the Deep Sea Emperor Halberds, sending a colossal wave into the fusion skill.

• Huo Yuhao and Ma Xiaotao formed an ice-and-fire fusion attack that Ning Junping enhanced, while Ning Tian's Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda failed to affect it.
• The fusion skill reached god-level power and began burning and freezing Sea Emperor Douluo as it approached him.
• Hai Wuliang activated the Sea God Helmet, drawing on the distant sea and temporarily raising his combat strength to level 100.
• Hai Wuliang summoned the Deep Sea Emperor Halberds and used Heaven-Shaking-Wave Kill to send a massive wave crashing toward the fusion attack.

Chen Ping emerged from seclusion as Sea Dragon Douluo attacked Wu Feng and threatened to take him from Shrek Academy. Revealing his powerful eight-ring cultivation, Chen Ping prepared to face Hai Bodong, who launched a killing strike.

• Sea Dragon Douluo moved to seize Chen Ping while Shrek's strongest fighters were occupied, and Wu Feng rushed to stop him.
• Sea Dragon Douluo struck Wu Feng aside, but her Dark Gold Flame Dragon Claw pierced his palm and drew blood.
• Chen Ping arrived at Shrek's city wall, displayed an extraordinary eight-ring configuration, and warned that unauthorized visitors to Shrek City would be killed.
• Chen Ping used his Eighth Soul Skills, Coiling Knot and Ring Fusion, to unite his Martial Soul forms and concentrate his Soul Power into a single attack.
• Ning Tian enhanced Chen Ping as Hai Bodong transformed and lunged at him with his Seventh Soul Ring activated.

Chen Ping killed Sea Dragon Douluo Hai Bodong with a single overwhelming throw of the Three Fiends Knotting Staff, shocking both armies. As Hai Wuliang continued fighting, Mu En revealed that he was still alive and stepped in to take over.

• Chen Ping hurled the Three Fiends Knotting Staff at Sea Dragon Douluo Hai Bodong, destroying his body and soul in one strike.
• Zhongli Wu recognized Chen Ping's attack as a killing move capable of threatening a Limit Douluo.
• Hai Wuliang saw Hai Bodong's death, broke Huo Yuhao and Ma Xiaotao's Martial Soul Fusion Skill, and continued fighting despite his severe wounds.
• Mu En's voice and radiant power spread from Shrek Academy as he told the younger fighters to leave the battle to him.
• Xuan Zi recognized Mu En, and the Holy Spirit Cult and Sea God Family realized that he was still alive.

Mu En revealed that he had reached the Quasi-God Realm by condensing a third soul core and turned the battle in Shrek’s favor. Sea Emperor Douluo escaped with help from the Sea God Helmet, while Mu En confronted Long Xiaoyao and Ye Xishui and condemned their past.

• Sea Emperor Douluo attacked Chen Ping, but Mu En appeared and effortlessly repelled his halberds with the power of his third soul core.
• Mu En sealed Sea Emperor Douluo in space, declared that Shrek would abolish the Sea God Pavilion, and began killing him to establish his authority.
• The Sea God Helmet released god-level power, shattered Mu En’s spatial seal, and let Sea Emperor Douluo flee toward the sea with the other Sea God Family members.
• Mu En acknowledged Chen Ping as the reason he had survived, then told Long Xiaoyao that he had lost hope in him and accused Ye Xishui of turning him into a puppet.
• Mu En told Ye Xishui that he regretted ever falling for her, while she trembled and screamed in response.
