• Tian Meng panicked when he sensed Di Tian approaching, and Huo Yuhao asked whether he had ever heard of Dragon-Slaying Ice.

Di Tian rushed back to the Star Dou Core Zone and confronted Snow Empress and Huo Yuhao, who had brought the Far North’s beasts to stop the beast tide against Shrek City. Huo Yuhao challenged Di Tian’s justification for fighting humans, and Tian Meng exposed the Star Dou ferocious beasts’ past abuse of him, leaving Di Tian speechless.

• Di Tian sensed the Far North’s oppressive ice aura and hurried back to the Star Dou Core Zone, while Scarlet King and the other ferocious beasts followed.
• Di Tian arrived before Snow Empress’s assembled forces and questioned why the Far North had come to Star Dou during the beast tide.
• Huo Yuhao declared that he represented the Far North and had come both for the humans and for the Far North, prompting Di Tian to accuse him of manipulating Snow Empress.
• Huo Yuhao challenged Di Tian to explain why Star Dou’s slaughter of Far North soul beasts would not justify retaliation, and Tian Meng stepped forward to accuse Di Tian and the ferocious beasts of tormenting him for ten thousand years.
• Di Tian recognized Tian Meng and fell silent as Huo Yuhao asked what he had to say.

Huo Yuhao demanded reparations from Di Tian for the Star Dou Great Forest’s ten-thousand-year absorption of Tian Meng’s Far North essence, proposing that the Star Dou Auspicious Beast be lent to the Far North for the same period. The demand nearly sparked a clash between the two groups, but Huo Qiu'er agreed to the arrangement, provoking Di Tian’s killing intent.

• Tian Meng accused Di Tian, who admitted that Star Dou had absorbed her Heaven and Earth Origin Power but defended the act as the law of the strong.
• Bi Ji argued that Tian Meng had been hunted in the Far North and that Star Dou had not deliberately harmed its people, while Huo Yuhao insisted the Far North’s grievances still required settlement.
• Di Tian asked what compensation the Far North wanted, and Huo Yuhao demanded that Star Dou lend its Auspicious Beast to the Far North for ten thousand years.
• Di Tian refused, revealing that the Auspicious Beast was central to Star Dou’s fortune, while the Far North’s soul beasts grew excited at the prospect of gaining its benefits.
• Zi Ji found no Auspicious Beast in its dwelling, only a hibernating Golden Hawksbill Turtle beneath the frozen lake.
• Huo Qiu'er agreed to be lent to the Far North to resolve the dispute, and Di Tian responded with intense killing intent.

The Snow Empress confronted Di Tian over the Dragon God’s law suppressing soul beasts and demanded that strength decide their dispute. As the battle began, Tian Meng transformed into a platinum ice butterfly, with the Ice Empress wielding his power and challenging Di Tian.

• Di Tian refused to surrender Huo Qiu'er or the Star Dou Great Forest’s fortune, and the Snow Empress questioned him about the Dragon God’s law that prevented soul beasts from attaining godhood.
• Di Tian accused the Far North of seeking the Auspicious Beast’s fortune to break that law, and the Snow Empress declared that the Dragon God had betrayed the Far North before the two sides prepared to fight.
• Di Tian attacked with Black Dragon Annihilation, and Huo Yuhao began fusing his power with Tian Meng, the Ice Empress, and the Snow Empress.
• Tian Meng’s ultimate ice awakened during the fusion, and he transformed inside a platinum cocoon while the Ice Empress joined with him.
• The cocoon burst open, revealing Tian Meng as an ice butterfly with the Ice Empress controlling his power; she blocked Xiong Jun’s Sky-Rending Claw and challenged Di Tian.

The Ice Empress, empowered by Tian Meng and the Snow Empress, led the Far North beasts in a battle against Di Tian and the Star Dou Ferocious Beasts. Just as Di Tian prepared to unleash his ultimate move, a mysterious voice from the Core Zone ordered the fighting to stop.

• The Ice Empress used Tian Meng's power and the Tian Meng Domain to suppress the Star Dou Ferocious Beasts, while Di Tian summoned his Black Dragon Sword and the Snow Empress answered with her Emperor Sword, Ice Extreme: Peerless.
• Di Tian called Xiong Jun, the Scarlet King, and Zi JI into the battle as A-Tai and Ice Bear King Xiaobai attacked Xiong Jun.
• With Huo Yuhao's spiritual support, A-Tai and Xiaobai outmaneuvered Xiong Jun, while the Scarlet King attacked Huo Yuhao and a phantom-like figure trapped Zi JI.
• Huo Yuhao used ice and snow to seize and crush the Scarlet King, leaving the Star Dou forces at a disadvantage despite Bi Ji's support.
• Di Tian released his Black Dragon Sword and began transforming his hand into an immaterial dragon claw, but a majestic voice from the Core Zone ordered everyone to stop.

A mysterious Soul Beast Co-Ruler halted the battle between the Far North and Star Dou, then agreed to let Di Tian negotiate rather than risk weakening both sides. Huo Yuhao persuaded Di Tian to suspend the beast tide while he found those responsible for breaking the peace agreement, and Huo Qiu’er hinted that he could resolve the wider conflict between humans and Soul Beasts.

• The mysterious voice stopped the fighting and challenged the Far North’s right to oppose Star Dou, while Huo Yuhao argued that Soul Beasts should not remain bound by the fallen Dragon God.
• Electrolux appeared and warned that the plane could not withstand the mysterious voice’s full power, prompting her to order Di Tian to negotiate instead of continuing the battle.
• Di Tian accepted that the Far North had prevailed, and Huo Yuhao rejected his accusation that he had led the Far North’s forces for human interests.
• Huo Yuhao promised to identify and hand over those responsible for breaking the peace agreement if Star Dou stopped its beast tide, and Di Tian agreed to give him a chance.
• Huo Qiu’er told Di Tian that Huo Yuhao might be able to resolve the conflict between Soul Beasts and humans.

Huo Yuhao explained to Di Tian how Wisdom Soul Rings and soul ring sharing could let humans gain soul skills without hunting soul beasts. Di Tian accepted his proposal, and Huo Yuhao and Huo Qiu'er began envisioning a Soul-Transmitting Tower, leaving the conflict with a possible path toward reconciliation.

• Huo Qiu'er told Di Tian that Huo Yuhao's soul rings mostly had not come from hunting soul beasts, and she explained how she had met him after leaving Star Dou in secret.
• Huo Yuhao revealed his soul rings and explained how Tian Meng, the Ice Empress, and the Snow Empress had preserved their consciousness through Wisdom Soul Rings.
• Huo Yuhao described how Xu Jiujiu had given him a soul ring through another human's soul skill, which he called soul ring sharing, and said it could separate soul rings from soul beasts.
• Huo Yuhao argued that soul ring sharing could reduce the toll of hunting on both human and soul beast populations, and Di Tian agreed to believe him and ordered the two groups to withdraw.
• Huo Yuhao and Huo Qiu'er discussed a shared soul ring repository, possible ways to increase soul ring ages, and the name Soul-Transmitting Tower.

Huo Yuhao and Di Tian reached an uneasy agreement to take their research to Shrek, while the Golden Hawksbill Turtle was sent with Huo Yuhao and the others to the Ice Seal Plane. There, Electrolux made the turtle reveal a mysterious piece of metal with a powerful aura of life.

• Di Tian agreed to postpone the beast tide and bring Huo Yuhao to Shrek, but refused to let Huo Qiu'er test the shared soul ring theory.
• Tian Meng recognized the Golden Hawksbill Turtle as the soul beast that had absorbed his Heaven and Earth Origin Power, and Di Tian gave it to the Far North as compensation.
• Huo Yuhao opened the Spatial Gate to the Ice Seal Plane, sending the Far North soul beasts and the Golden Hawksbill Turtle through before flying to Shrek with Di Tian and Huo Qiu'er.
• The Snow Empress explained that Aria of the Far North could challenge Di Tian but would cause backlash, and Tian Meng showed the Ice Empress his small butterfly wings and new ultimate ice.
• Electrolux asked the Golden Hawksbill Turtle to spit out what it had swallowed, and the turtle dropped a piece of metal that released a powerful aura of life.

The Golden Hawksbill Turtle was freed from the gold of life, while Huo Yuhao recovered his soul power and discovered that the Holy Spirit Cult had likely caused the beast tide. As Shrek City dealt with the aftermath, Long Xiaoyao appeared with cult members collecting the fallen soul beasts’ Soul Rings.

• Di Tian and Huo Yuhao flew toward Shrek City after sensing Long Xiaoyao’s powerful dragon aura near the retreating soul beast army.
• At Shrek City’s ruined Southern City Gate, Ye Guyi and Wang Dong'er reflected on the city’s losses as the Sea God Pavilion Elders organized evacuations and treated the wounded.
• Holy Spirit Cult members used a Black Banner to draw in the Soul Rings from the battlefield, and Long Xiaoyao warned Xuan Zi not to interfere.

Myriad Souls Douluo used the Myriad Souls Banner to absorb the souls of the dead across Shrek City while Long Xiaoyao shielded the Holy Spirit Cult from Shrek’s counterattack. Shrek’s experts failed to stop the gathering, and the cult left with the stolen soul power.

Di Tian returned to Shrek City and attacked Long Xiaoyao after learning the Holy Spirit Cult had manipulated the Star Dou Great Forest and enslaved the souls of its slain subjects. Long Xiaoyao protected the fleeing evil soul masters, and the battle threatened to cause further destruction to Shrek City.

• Long Xiaoyao held off Shrek’s fighters while the Myriad Souls Douluo finished collecting souls and prepared to retreat with the evil soul masters.
• Zhongli Wu announced that Di Tian and the Star Dou Ferocious Beasts had returned, and Long Xiaoyao ordered the Myriad Souls Douluo to flee while he covered their retreat.

• Xuan Zi told Di Tian that the Holy Spirit Cult was responsible for the slaughter, but Di Tian focused on confronting Long Xiaoyao.
• Xiong Jun attacked Long Xiaoyao with his Sky-Rending Claw, and two strikes tore into the ruins of Shrek City.

Zhongli Wu arrived to help Long Xiaoyao fight the soul beasts attacking Shrek City, using the Death God Demon Puppet to hold off Xiong Jun. As the Scarlet King joined the fight, Zhongli Wu revealed his ambition to reach the Limit level, then summoned a bone dragon whose wind power slammed Xiong Jun into the ground.

• Xiong Jun's Sky-Rending Claw veered toward Shrek City after a giant black shadow appeared behind him, forcing Xuan Zi and the Elders to intercept it.
• Di Tian drove the shadow back and identified it as Zhongli Wu's Death God Demon Puppet, after which Zhongli Wu appeared and joined Long Xiaoyao.
• The Death God Demon Puppet evaded Xiong Jun's attacks until the Scarlet King arrived and forced Zhongli Wu to make it vanish.
• Zhongli Wu eyed the powerful beasts and Di Tian as potential souls to devour, hoping to reach the Limit level and lead the Holy Spirit Cult.
• Xiong Jun attacked Zhongli Wu's real body, prompting him to summon a bone dragon that unleashed powerful winds and battered Xiong Jun into the ground.

Zhongli Wu summoned a powerful bone dragon king, enraging Di Tian, who attacked him and Long Xiaoyao. Long Xiaoyao and Zhongli Wu fled under Di Tian’s pursuit, while Shrek’s Elders followed to help eradicate the Holy Spirit Cult.

• Zhongli Wu revealed that the bone dragon king had once received the Silver Dragon King’s power, and Di Tian became furious at the enslavement of a Dragon Clan compatriot.
• Di Tian attacked Zhongli Wu, and Long Xiaoyao intervened to hold him off as the battle shook the area around Shrek City.
• Long Xiaoyao recognized that he was outmatched by Di Tian, so he joined Zhongli Wu in retreating on the bone dragon king.
• Di Tian pursued the fleeing Zhongli Wu and Long Xiaoyao, while Xiong Jun and Scarlet King returned toward the Star Dou Great Forest to report to Bi Ji and the others.
• Xuan Zi and Elder Song led Shrek’s Elders after the fleeing Holy Spirit Cult forces, hoping to destroy the cult while Di Tian was helping them.

Huo Yuhao pursued the Myriad Souls Douluo to Ye Xishui’s spiritual barrier and discovered the Holy Spirit Cult’s Death God Soul Tool waiting inside. He feared Ye Xishui planned to test its power on Di Tian, which could turn the Star Dou Great Forest and humanity into irreconcilable enemies.

• The Myriad Souls Douluo fled toward Shrek City with the Holy Spirit Cult’s soul power sources while Long Xiaoyao held Di Tian back.
• Huo Yuhao struck the fleeing evil soul masters with a Spiritual Shock, and the Myriad Souls Douluo sacrificed them to weaken the attack before escaping through Ye Xishui’s barrier.
• Huo Yuhao found Ye Xishui’s spiritual barrier and saw a spire that he identified as the complete form of the Death God Soul Tool.
• Huo Yuhao concluded that Ye Xishui might use Di Tian to test the weapon, and the Snow Empress warned that Di Tian’s death could make the Star Dou Great Forest and humanity irreconcilable enemies.

Huo Yuhao watched Ye Xishui and the Holy Spirit Cult lure Di Tian into a battle while charging the Death God Soul Tool, which threatened to destroy Shrek City and kill Di Tian. With Zhongli Wu sealing space and the weapon nearing activation, Huo Yuhao sought Huo Qiu’er’s help to reach it quickly.

• Huo Yuhao deduced that the Holy Spirit Cult might use the Death God Soul Tool against Di Tian and resolved to stop it from firing.
• Di Tian arrived pursuing Long Xiaoyao and Zhongli Wu, then fought Ye Xishui, Long Xiaoyao, and Zhongli Wu near the Death God Soul Tool.

• Huo Yuhao and the Ice and Snow Empresses tried to reach the tower, but Huo Yuhao realized flying there would be too slow.
• Bi Ji and the Star Dou Ferocious Beasts arrived, and Huo Yuhao asked Huo Qiu’er to lend him a boost before taking out a Soul Cannon.

Ye Xishui, Long Xiaoyao, and Zhongli Wu trapped Di Tian and prepared to kill him with the Death God Soul Tool, but a mysterious man arrived and disrupted the weapon’s charge. He unleashed a power called Holy Parting, killing the surrounding Evil Soul Masters and drawing souls into the Myriad Souls Banner.

• Zhongli Wu used the Blood Sea Vengeful Spirit Spear to seal space while Long Xiaoyao and Ye Xishui pinned down Di Tian as the Death God Soul Tool charged.
• Di Tian realized Ye Xishui’s weapon threatened his life, but Zhongli Wu, Long Xiaoyao, and Ye Xishui kept him from escaping or reaching the spire.
• A blue-gold projectile struck the spire, and a mysterious man carrying a golden spear broke through the tower roof.
• The mysterious man seized the Myriad Souls Banner, tore off the Myriad Souls Douluo’s right arm, and turned the banner against the Death God Soul Tool.
• The mysterious man planted the banner and unleashed Holy Parting, killing the surrounding Evil Soul Masters and drawing their souls and the trapped vengeful spirits into the banner.

Huo Yuhao and Huo Qiu’er destroyed the Death God Tower and freed the vengeful spirits, turning the battle against the Holy Spirit Cult. After Ye Xishui challenged his judgment, Huo Yuhao vowed to punish the world by making sure it would never see her and the evil soul masters again.

• Huo Yuhao and Huo Qiu’er used their fused power to seize the Myriad Souls Banner, destroy the Death God Soul Tool, and unleash a Spiritual Shock that killed the evil soul masters and freed their victims’ souls.
• The backlash from the released spirits crippled Ye Xishui, while the Bone Dragon King stopped obeying Zhongli Wu and Di Tian gained the advantage over Long Xiaoyao.

• The Ice and Snow Empresses intercepted Zhongli Wu as Bi Ji joined Di Tian, leaving the Holy Spirit Cult’s remaining leaders surrounded and overmatched.
• Huo Yuhao refused to consume the freed spirits and told Ye Xishui that the Holy Spirit Cult had to be destroyed; after she defended the cult, he declared that he would punish the world so it would never see her again.

Huo Yuhao drew on the power of hundreds of thousands of freed vengeful spirits to condense a second soul core and shatter Ye Xishui’s Blood Soul Demon Puppet. When he moved to kill Ye Xishui, Long Xiaoyao took the spear’s blows in her place and confessed that he had served the Holy Spirit Cult because he loved her.

• The freed vengeful spirits poured their anger into Ye Xishui and lent their power to Huo Yuhao, who began forming a Holy Spirit Soul Core in his chest.
• Huo Yuhao launched an attack with the spirits and shattered Ye Xishui’s Blood Soul Demon Puppet, leaving her wounded on the tower’s ruins.
• Ye Xishui asked Huo Yuhao why he had refused to lead the Evil Soul Masters, and he raised the Golden Dragon Spear to kill her.
• Long Xiaoyao intercepted the spear and endured Huo Yuhao’s repeated thrusts as Huo Yuhao demanded to know why he had joined the Holy Spirit Cult.
• Long Xiaoyao said he had joined to make amends because he loved Ye Xishui, and Huo Yuhao struck him nine times, leaving eighteen holes in his body.
