• The Evil Emperor sensed Ye Qing and Dong Qianqiu’s power, then decided their conflict with the Holy Spirit Cult was not his concern.

• The Demon Soul Bone Shark King unleashed his Ultimate Darkness aura, suppressing Long Xiaoyao’s power and startling him and Ye Xishui.
• Ye Qing declared that he would avenge his blood debt, activated his Right Leg Bone, and used Demon Soul Devour.

• Dong Qianqiu unleashed Demon Soul Devour, and Long Xiaoyao and Ye Xishui joined forces to resist the enormous shark phantom.
• The phantom shattered Long Xiaoyao’s dragon attack and devoured Ye Xishui’s Death Chain, then swallowed Long Xiaoyao’s dragonfire.

• Ye Xishui offered to withdraw, but Ye Qing rejected her offer and dared the two Limit Douluos to fight him to the death.

• Ye Qing declared his revenge complete and turned to leave, but Ye Xishui asked him to join the Holy Spirit Cult.

Ye Xishui tried to recruit Ye Qing into the Holy Spirit Cult as its Grand Supreme Elder, while Long Xiaoyao opposed the plan out of guilt over the cult’s violence. Ye Qing agreed to join temporarily, making clear that he could leave whenever he wanted.

• Ye Xishui realized Evil Nightmare Douluo had risen from below Soul Saint cultivation to Limit Douluo strength in only thirty years and suspected he had a major secret.
• Ye Xishui offered Ye Qing the title of Grand Supreme Elder and access to the Holy Spirit Cult’s resources, but Ye Qing questioned why he would need their protection.

• Ye Xishui and Long Xiaoyao welcomed Ye Qing into the Holy Spirit Cult as its Grand Supreme Elder and granted him access to its resources.
• Ye Qing followed Ye Xishui and Long Xiaoyao into the cult’s underground headquarters and saw its corpses, blood pools, and soul-binding apparatus.

• Ye Xishui announced to the assembled cult members that Evil Nightmare Douluo was their new Grand Supreme Elder, equal to her and Long Xiaoyao.

Ye Qing claimed that Lord Asura God had granted him his immense power and declared the deity to be the Holy Spirit Cult’s Holy Emperor. His revelation left Ye Xishui and the cult’s senior members eager to learn more about their supposedly forgotten divine patron.

• The Holy Spirit Cult’s members knelt to greet Ye Qing as Grand Supreme Elder, and he ordered them to rise.
• Ye Qing told the cult that a deity’s blessing had made him a Limit Douluo before the age of fifty and sent him as God’s Emissary.

• Ye Xishui questioned Ye Qing about the Holy Emperor, while Zhongli Wu and the other senior members bowed and asked him to explain.
• Ye Qing claimed that Lord Asura God had bestowed his cultivation, privately reasoning that his strength and puppet were tied to Tang San.

Ye Qing claimed that Tang San was both Sea God and Asura God, the Holy Spirit Cult’s Holy Emperor, and urged the cult to spread his name for divine rewards. He left the cult members stunned and tempted by the promise of power.

• Ye Qing rejected Zhongli Wu’s doubts and told the Holy Spirit Cult to honor and promote its Holy Emperor.

• Ye Qing claimed Tang San inherited Asura God’s godhood before becoming Sea God and freed Evil Soul Masters by destroying Slaughter City.

• Ye Qing urged the cult to make Asura God the continent’s supreme deity in return for Tang San’s blessings and the possibility of becoming gods.
• Dong Qianqiu opened a spatial rift and left with Ye Qing as the Holy Spirit Cult members considered his promises.

Ye Qing planned to turn the Holy Spirit Cult’s promotion of Tang San as the Asura God against his Sea God faith, while plotting an unofficial history that would restore Spirit Hall’s reputation. After questioning the Evil Eye Tyrant Sovereign’s inaction, Ye Qing considered targeting the powerful soul beast to strengthen his spiritual power.

• Ye Qing reasoned that the Holy Spirit Cult’s spread of Tang San’s Asura God identity would clash with Shrek’s Sea God worship and poison Tang San’s faith.
• Ye Qing planned an “Asura God Autobiography” that would expose Tang San and help revive support for Spirit Hall.
• Ye Qing questioned why the Evil Eye Tyrant Sovereign had not intervened when Ye Xishui tried to recruit him.
• The Evil Eye Tyrant Sovereign stayed hidden because he feared fighting Ye Qing, Long Xiaoyao, and Ye Xishui at once.
• Ye Qing set his sights on the Evil Eye Tyrant Sovereign as a way to improve his spiritual power.

Ye Qing and the Evil Eye Tyrant Sovereign sensed each other across the Evil Demon Forest but both held back from fighting. He asked Long Xiaoyao to help him study the Sun Moon Empire’s Soul Tools, leaving open the possibility of secretly pursuing Illustrious Virtue Hall technology.

• Ye Qing met the Evil Eye Tyrant Sovereign’s gaze from afar, and both chose not to start a fight because of their circumstances.

• Long Xiaoyao said the cult could arrange for Ye Qing to study through the imperial family, but it had no ties to the Illustrious Virtue Hall.

Ye Qing studied Soul Tool fundamentals in Mingdu to support his plan to create armor combining Soul Bone Armor and Battle Armor. After examining a Level 1 Charging Core Array, he sensed an important secret behind Soul Tools but could not grasp the fleeting insight, while Electrolux studied the array alongside him.

• Long Xiaoyao reconsidered his hostility toward Ye Qing after noticing he lacked the blood-soaked aura of other Evil Soul Masters, though he reserved judgment until Ye Qing harmed innocents.
• At Ye Xishui's arrangement, Nether Thunder Douluo accompanied Ye Qing to Mingdu, where he studied Soul Guidance Technology at the Xishui Alliance headquarters.
• Ye Qing focused on understanding Core Arrays rather than becoming a Soul Engineer, since he intended to use Soul Tool principles to develop armor combining Soul Bone Armor and Battle Armor.
• Ye Qing studied the Level 1 Charging Core Array and realized the essence of Soul Tools held an important secret that could aid his Soul Armor research.
• Ye Qing struggled to recover his fleeting inspiration as Electrolux stared at the same array, and the beings within Ye Qing left him undisturbed.

Ye Qing experimented with Level 1 core arrays and theorized that their patterns were copied from the hidden lines within Soul Rings, making Soul Tools artificial versions of Soul Skills. He left the chapter eager to test his hypothesis and develop Soul Armor.

• Ye Qing carved and activated eight Level 1 core arrays over three days, studying the effects each produced.
• Ye Qing showed the array patterns to Electrolux and said he needed more practical tests to confirm his guess.
• Ye Qing summoned his Martial Soul and noticed intricate patterns hidden within his seven blood-red Soul Rings.
• Ye Qing concluded that core arrays likely reproduced Soul Ring patterns and that the arrays’ effects corresponded to Soul Skills.

Ye Qing and Electrolux discovered patterns resembling Core Arrays inside Soul Rings and Soul Bones, making Ye Qing’s Soul Armor concept feasible. They began studying the Sun Moon Empire’s Core Arrays so they could develop and build the armor.

• Ye Qing reasoned that Soul Bones could be linked through External Soul Bones and assembled into Soul Bone Armor, with Core Arrays engraved on spirit alloy to create Soul Armor.
• Electrolux agreed that Soul Rings contained complex patterns, and he and Ye Qing found similar patterns inside a ninety-thousand-year Torso Bone.
• Electrolux told Ye Qing that Soul Armor could be made, and Ye Qing asked him to help develop and manufacture it.
• Ye Qing and Electrolux began studying the Sun Moon Empire’s Core Arrays, while Electrolux planned to optimize them further.

Ye Qing spent three years studying the Sun Moon Empire’s Core Arrays and Soul Tool blueprints, reaching Level 7 Soul Engineer while Electrolux developed a forging method for Soul Armor materials. The chapter ended with Ye Qing preparing to test Electrolux’s new Spirit Forging technique.

• Ye Qing abandoned his plan to visit the Illustrious Virtue Hall after concluding that learning its Core Arrays would be more useful than studying its Soul Tools.
• Ye Qing studied Core Arrays and advanced Soul Tool blueprints for three years, reconsidering his earlier assumption that Electrolux could improve on them without first examining existing designs.
• Ye Qing reached Level 7 Soul Engineer, amassed rare metals, and watched Electrolux simulate forging methods for spirit alloys.
• Electrolux gave Ye Qing a Spirit Forging technique combining Sacred Demon Continent artifact forging with the Spirit Forging Method, explaining that it could reach ten thousand refinement life creation but not Soul Forging without special metals or alloy experiments.
• Ye Qing received the technique and prepared to try forging with it.
