Chapter Summaries

Chen Ping’s reckless use of three spatial portals left him unconscious and depleted, so the Snow Empress and Scarlet King fought together to carry him out of Aoke City. After waking in a hideout, he apologized and reflected on the danger and potential of combining spatial magic with Soul Tools.

• The Snow Empress and Scarlet King alternated ice and fire attacks to defeat the defenders and clear a path through Aoke City.
• The Snow Empress took Chen Ping’s Jade Scorpion Staff, and she and the Scarlet King escaped with him after the city’s Soul Engineer Corps was badly mauled.
• Chen Ping’s three portals had exhausted his Spiritual Power, and he suffered severe magical backlash while unconscious.
• About two hours later, Chen Ping woke in an underground hollow a hundred li from Aoke City and apologized to the Snow Empress and Scarlet King for endangering them.
• The Snow Empress praised the potential of Chen Ping’s spatial magic and Soul Tools, while Chen Ping decided to be more cautious and considered seeking a mental-attribute Soul Beast for his seventh soul ring.

Chen Ping traveled to Dongyang City, the Sun Moon Empire’s largest northern stronghold, to continue his offensive before news of his attack on Aoke City could arrive. After entering the city in disguise, he followed a soul tool shopkeeper carrying a staff used to imprison beast souls and watched him at a restaurant.

• Chen Ping identified Dongyang City as his next target and explained that its garrison, defenses, and importance made it a more challenging objective than Aoke City.
• Chen Ping reached Dongyang City in two hours, well ahead of any warning from Aoke City, and entered in disguise.
• Chen Ping spotted a soul tool staff like the kind used by the Zhongli Three Brothers in a shopkeeper’s display window and followed the shopkeeper after he carried it away in a gift box.
• Chen Ping took a seat in the same roast meat restaurant and ordered snow pork, signature dishes, and ale while keeping the shopkeeper in sight.

Chen Ping followed a man who had stolen a Storage Ring, hoping to track him to the Evil Soul Masters in Dongyang City, but a hooded woman attacked him and triggered an ambush. Chen Ping immobilized the surrounding Evil Soul Masters and joined the woman in fighting them.

• Chen Ping followed the man who had taken the shopkeeper's Storage Ring and noticed a hooded woman tailing him too.

• Chen Ping used the Cold Binding Seal to immobilize the attackers and told the woman to fight alongside him.
• Chen Ping attacked the Evil Soul Masters on the left with his Frenzy Dragon Treasure Staff, spreading scarlet lightning through them.

Chen Ping and a blue-haired woman killed a group of Evil Soul Masters in an alley and captured one survivor to interrogate. After trading jokes and splitting the loot, they introduced themselves under false names, leaving the woman claiming to be Qian Renxue.

• Chen Ping broke free of the Cold Binding Seal and killed the six-ring Evil Soul Emperor and the other Evil Soul Masters while the blue-haired woman smashed several more with her hammers.
• The blue-haired woman thanked Chen Ping, showed him her Sea Soul Beast tooth dagger, and knocked out the surviving Evil Soul Master when he moved.
• Chen Ping teased the woman about her conspicuous disguise, and she blamed him for drawing her into the fight.
• Chen Ping collected the bodies and their belongings, then gave the woman an anonymous Gold Soul Coin card worth one hundred thousand coins.
• When they exchanged names, Chen Ping claimed he was Tang San, and the woman replied that she was Qian Renxue.

Chen Ping tortured the captured Evil Soul Master Chifu for information about Dongyang City and the Holy Spirit Cult. When Chifu’s answers failed to add up, the blue-haired woman threatened him with her Thunder Pearls and began her own questioning.

• Chen Ping transferred vitality into Chifu, took him into a room, and demanded his name and information about the city.
• After Chifu refused to answer, Chen Ping pulled out both of his front teeth, and Chifu finally gave his name and agreed to talk.
• Chifu said Dongyang City had thirty thousand ordinary soldiers and a team of 150 Soul Masters, but claimed Chen Ping had killed all the Evil Soul Masters above him.
• Chen Ping tore off Chifu’s arm and accused him of lying because a Holy Spirit Cult branch altar should have had higher-ranking leaders.
• The blue-haired woman summoned her Thunder Pearls and threatened to punish Chifu if he lied during her questioning.

Chen Ping realized Chifu had used bat sonar to summon the Holy Spirit Cult and killed him before fleeing with the blue-haired woman. Two Titled Douluo elders then appeared in the alley, forcing Chen Ping to face them with his Domination Domain.

• Chen Ping recognized that Chifu had been transmitting messages through ultrasonic bat sonar and killed him before pulling the blue-haired woman toward the exit.
• The blue-haired woman demanded to know why Chen Ping had killed Chifu, but the alley wall collapsed before he could answer.

• Chen Ping released his Domination Domain to counter the elders’ sinister auras.
• Myriad Souls Douluo summoned his Ten Thousand Souls Banner, while his companion transformed into a huge abomination.

Chen Ping and the blue-haired woman fought Myriad Souls Douluo and Abomination Douluo, but the two Soul Masters’ domains, Martial Soul Avatars, and Sea Soul Beast vengeful spirits overwhelmed them. After recognizing the Mermaid Vengeful Spirit as Li Ya, the blue-haired woman hesitated to attack, and Chen Ping decided they had to retreat.

• Myriad Souls Douluo unleashed the Myriad Souls Domain, but Chen Ping struck him with the Mad Dragon Staff and briefly dispelled the attacking spirits with scarlet lightning.
• Abomination Douluo attacked with poison mist and a skull chain, but the blue-haired woman knocked the chain aside and blasted a hole in his shoulder with her Eight-Edged Plum Blossom Hammers.
• Myriad Souls Douluo summoned twelve Sea Soul Beast vengeful spirits, including a Mermaid Vengeful Spirit that the blue-haired woman recognized as Li Ya.
• The Mermaid Vengeful Spirit stopped singing when she saw the blue-haired woman, while the other spirits surrounded them and attacked.
• Facing both Titled Douluo and the vengeful spirits, Chen Ping judged that they could not win and decided they had to retreat.

Chen Ping and the blue-haired Sea Soul Master escaped two Evil Soul Douluos by fleeing into the Ice Sea with the Heart of the Ocean. After Chen Ping asked her to help him find a Sea Soul Beast, she mistook him for Tang San’s descendant and turned hostile.

• Chen Ping used the Cold Binding Seal to stall Abomination Douluo and Myriad Souls Douluo, then flew toward the Ice Sea with the blue-haired woman.
• Myriad Souls Douluo’s Vengeful Spirits disrupted Chen Ping’s Soul Power and sent him plunging into the sea, while the woman’s Thunder Pearls held off the pursuers.
• Chen Ping used the Heart of the Ocean to carry himself and the woman into a deep-sea trench, where they escaped the two Evil Soul Douluos.
• Chen Ping proposed that they help each other, explaining that he wanted a guide to find a Sea Soul Beast for his Seventh Soul Ring.
• The blue-haired woman concluded that Chen Ping was Tang San’s descendant, drew her Eight-Edged Plum Blossom Hammers, and declared that she would kill him.

Chen Ping fought Lan Fozi, daughter of the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King, after she mistook his powers for proof that he was Tang San’s descendant. He subdued her with the Heart of the Ocean and explained that he and his allies were Tang San’s enemies, though Lan Fozi’s response remained unknown.

• Chen Ping recognized Lan Fozi as the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King’s daughter and dodged her hammer attacks, briefly staggering her with his staff.
• Lan Fozi accused Chen Ping of being Tang San’s descendant and attacked to avenge her father, whom she said Tang San had killed and used to repair the Sea God Trident.
• Chen Ping used the Heart of the Ocean to restrict Lan Fozi’s movements, but she transformed into a purple demonic whale and charged him.
• Chen Ping expanded the Heart of the Ocean, parted the seawater, and stranded Lan Fozi on the seabed.
• Chen Ping produced several replicated Hearts of the Ocean and told Lan Fozi that he and his allies wanted to kill Tang San, not serve him.

After Lan Fozi apologized for mistaking Chen Ping for an enemy, she explained that she had come to the human world to find her missing friend Li Ya. Chen Ping told her about his mission against the Sun Moon Empire and his resentment toward Tang San, but their conversation was interrupted by Xiao Bai, who confronted them for insulting the Sea God.

• Lan Fozi returned to human form, apologized to Chen Ping, and explained that she had mistaken his intentions.
• Lan Fozi told Chen Ping that Li Ya and other Sea Princess Clan members had disappeared after taking part in a human-world experiment, and that she had seen Li Ya's soul with an Evil Soul Master.
• Chen Ping explained that he had come to Dongyang City to sabotage a Sun Moon Empire supply base and described Tang San's interference in his friends' lives.
• Lan Fozi and Chen Ping joined in denouncing Tang San, prompting Xiao Bai to approach and accuse them of disrespecting the Sea God.
• Xiao Bai declared that she would not allow anyone to insult Tang San, whose gift of the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King's corpse had strengthened her and her clan.

Chen Ping argued with Xiao Bai, who mistook his replica Heart of the Ocean for the Sea God's Heart and attacked him. After Xiao Bai sent Lan Fozi flying, Chen Ping offered several replicas and apologized to stop the fight, leaving Xiao Bai uncertain about what she had been told.

• Xiao Bai arrived, accused Chen Ping of stealing the Sea God's Heart, and demanded he return it.
• Chen Ping cursed Tang San and challenged Xiao Bai's claim to rule the ocean, provoking her to attack.
• Lan Fozi recognized Xiao Bai as the enemy connected to her father's death and charged in with her Eight-Edged Plum Blossom Hammers.
• Xiao Bai overpowered Lan Fozi with her bare fists and sent her flying, leaving her bleeding.
• Chen Ping offered Xiao Bai several Imitation Hearts of the Ocean, withdrew his insults, and asked her to spare Lan Fozi.
• Xiao Bai collected the replicas and wondered how Chen Ping could possess so many Sea God's Hearts.

Chen Ping and Lan Fozi rejected Xiao Bai’s offer to go to the Sea God Family and fled when she attacked. Chen Ping strapped a Flying Fortress to Lan Fozi, helping her outrun Xiao Bai as they sped into the sea.

• Lan Fozi challenged Xiao Bai’s claim that the Deep Sea Demon Whale Clan was evil, leaving Xiao Bai unable to answer.

• Chen Ping strapped a Flying Fortress to Lan Fozi and had her channel Soul Power into it, boosting their speed enough to leave Xiao Bai behind.

Chen Ping and Lan Fozi turned back to ambush Xiao Bai before she could alert the Sea God Family. After badly wounding her with a shell filled with Yin and Yang Spring water, Chen Ping trapped her in a drained zone of seabed and prepared to finish the fight.

• Lan Fozi told Chen Ping that she did not know where her mother was, so he urged her to return with him and kill Xiao Bai before she reached the Sea God Family.
• Xiao Bai swam toward the Sea God Family, vowing to report Chen Ping and Lan Fozi to its guardians.
• Chen Ping and Lan Fozi used the Heart of the Ocean's invisibility to approach Xiao Bai, and Chen Ping struck her abdomen with a shell carrying Yin and Yang Spring water.
• Xiao Bai fled with her abdomen badly burned and frozen, while Lan Fozi asked Chen Ping whether she should pursue her.
• Chen Ping activated the Heart of the Ocean and expelled the seawater around Xiao Bai, dropping her onto the seabed.

Chen Ping used the Heart of the Ocean to create a waterless battlefield, weakening Xiao Bai, and joined Lan Fozi, the Scarlet King, and the Snow Empress in wearing her down. Just as Chen Ping struck her wound, Xiao Bai’s armor blocked his attack, and Lan Fozi accused her of stealing a technique developed by her father.

• Chen Ping used the Heart of the Ocean to create a vast waterless arena on the seabed, sharply reducing Xiao Bai’s combat strength.
• The Scarlet King and Snow Empress joined Chen Ping and Lan Fozi, and the Scarlet King challenged Xiao Bai’s loyalty to the Sea God Family.
• Lan Fozi attacked Xiao Bai with her twin hammers while Chen Ping urged her to target Xiao Bai’s abdominal wound.
• Xiao Bai fought back, but the Snow Empress froze her palm and Chen Ping struck at her wound with his Star Nodule Club.
• Blue-gray armor appeared over Xiao Bai and stopped Chen Ping’s attack, prompting Lan Fozi to accuse her of stealing her father’s Energy Armorization.

Chen Ping, Lan Fozi, and their allies defeated Xiao Bai after her energy armor initially let her withstand their attacks. Chen Ping’s Star Nodule Club killed the Demon Soul Great White Shark King, and Lan Fozi thanked him for helping her avenge her father.

• Lan Fozi confronted Xiao Bai about her energy armor, and Xiao Bai denied that it came from the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King’s secret method.
• Xiao Bai fought Lan Fozi, Chen Ping, the Scarlet King, and the Snow Empress, then charged at Chen Ping, believing his death would eliminate his Soul Spirits.
• Chen Ping triggered Frost Explosion, exposing Xiao Bai to poison and frost while the Scarlet King, Snow Empress, and Lan Fozi struck her with fire, ice, and lightning.
• Xiao Bai reverted to her demon shark form and lunged at Chen Ping, but he summoned the Star Nodule Club and smashed her into the seabed.
• Xiao Bai’s three-hundred-thousand-year Soul Ring appeared, and Lan Fozi thanked Chen Ping for helping her avenge her father.

After Chen Ping and Lan Fozi defeated Xiao Bai, Lan Fozi boldly kissed him and confessed she had fallen for him, but he rejected her advances and retreated into the Other Shore Small World. There, Chen Ping began absorbing Xiao Bai’s Soul Ring and used his power to pull a soul from it.

• Chen Ping thanked Lan Fozi for helping subdue Xiao Bai, healed her wounds, and reminded her that they were friends.
• Lan Fozi kissed Chen Ping and confessed she had fallen for him, but he said he already had multiple girlfriends and refused to pursue her.
• Chen Ping retrieved Xiao Bai’s Soul Bone and Soul Ring, then fled into the Other Shore Small World while Lan Fozi swallowed Xiao Bai’s remains with her innate ability.
• Lan Fozi planned to return to Dongyang City and seek Chen Ping again, while Chen Ping reflected on the danger his loved ones would face if he lost to Tang San.
• Chen Ping summoned Xiao Bai’s three-hundred-thousand-year Soul Ring and suppressed its power with his six Soul Rings, then plucked a soul from it.

Chen Ping rejected Xiao Bai’s plea to become his Soul Spirit and assigned Snake to search her soul and devour her. He then absorbed Xiao Bai’s three-hundred-thousand-year Soul Ring, and his Soul Power began advancing toward a higher level.

• Xiao Bai offered Chen Ping her abilities and her clan’s hundred-thousand-year Soul Beasts in exchange for being spared, but Chen Ping refused and pointed out that he could search her soul himself.
• Snake arrived at Level twenty, and Chen Ping ordered him to extract Xiao Bai’s knowledge of the Sea God, the Sea God Family, and energy armorization before devouring her soul.
• Snake seized Xiao Bai’s soul and left, while Chen Ping arranged for her Soul Ring, Soul Bone, body, soul, and memories to be put to use.
• Chen Ping absorbed Xiao Bai’s Soul Ring with ease as his Soul Core devoured its power and his Soul Power surged toward a higher realm.

Chen Ping reached the Seven-Ring Soul Sage realm after absorbing Xiao Bai’s three-hundred-thousand-year soul ring, gaining a powerful martial soul avatar skill. He then began absorbing Xiao Bai’s Head Soul Bone into his Star Nodule Club, which started transforming into a scaled, dark-blue weapon.

• Chen Ping absorbed Xiao Bai’s seventh soul ring and became a Seven-Ring Soul Sage, with three black rings, one gold ring, and three red rings.
• Chen Ping gained the True Tool Soul True Body skill, which enhanced his attributes and soul skills while allowing unrestricted use of lower-ring skills for half an hour.
• Chen Ping prepared to absorb the Head Soul Bone Xiao Bai had dropped, hoping to upgrade his underperforming Star Nodule Club.
• Xiao Bai’s soul bone energy clashed with Chen Ping’s soul power as he pressed the bone against his martial soul.
• The Star Nodule Club absorbed the soul bone energy, darkened to an icy blue, and reshaped its star nodules into hard scales lined with sharp serrations.

Chen Ping transformed his Beast Staff into the Demon Shark Spear, gaining powerful piercing attacks and the ability to devour souls and steal thoughts. Meanwhile, Myriad Souls Douluo and Abomination Douluo recognized him in a recording and discussed how they planned to capture and kill him.

Myriad Souls Douluo sensed danger just as the messenger approached with a secret letter.

• Huo Yuhao told Xuan Ziwen that the artillery test was meant to help Chen Ping, and Xuan Ziwen began charging the platform.
