Chapter Summaries

After emerging unharmed from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, Lin En convinced Dugu Bo that he had not deceived him and offered a way to contain the Dugu Family’s poison in Soul Bones. Dugu Bo began the treatment while Lin En helped, hoping to earn his favor and secure control of the spring.

• Dugu Bo realized Lin En may have used him to pursue an opportunity in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, but strange lights from the spring interrupted his accusations.
• Lin En emerged from the well with Iceflame Eight Spider Lances fused to his body, and Dugu Bo demanded to know what had happened below.
• Lin En deflected Dugu Bo’s suspicions and persuaded him to set aside his claim to the opportunity and focus on curing the poison.
• Lin En proposed storing the Dugu Family’s poison in Soul Bones, and Dugu Bo eagerly accepted the method.
• Dugu Bo worried that Yanyan lacked a Soul Bone, so Lin En offered to contain her poison until she could obtain one.
• Dugu Bo began forcing his poison into his Soul Bone while Lin En used the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and Infernal Delicate Apricot to assist.

Lin En treated Dugu Bo’s poison and stabilized Dugu Yan’s toxins, giving the Dugu family hope of escaping its inherited affliction. The chapter ended after Dugu Yan’s treatment, with her feeling relieved and grateful while a Soul Bone was still needed to contain the toxins long-term.

• Over three days, Lin En forced Dugu Bo’s toxins into his Medusa Head Soul Bone and healed the pain from the poison’s backlash, stabilizing his condition for at least six months.
• Dugu Bo thanked Lin En and mourned his dead son and daughter-in-law, then agreed to bring Dugu Yan for treatment.
• Dugu Bo brought Dugu Yan to Lin En, and she learned that poison had caused her family’s symptoms and killed her parents.
• Lin En treated Dugu Yan for several hours, sorting out the toxins in her body and advising her to adjust how she circulated her Soul Power.
• Dugu Yan stood up feeling relieved and thanked Lin En, while Lin En said a suitable Soul Bone would still be needed to guide the toxins into it.

Lin En accepted Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan’s promise to repay him by asking for help finding an eighty-thousand-year Soul Beast for his fifth Soul Ring. After they left, he summoned Ingkaros and Sageross, who had evolved into King Sa.

• Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan insisted on repaying Lin En for saving them, while Lin En repeatedly pretended to refuse.
• Lin En revealed that he had broken through to level fifty and needed a fifth Soul Ring.
• Lin En asked Dugu Bo to help him find an eighty-thousand-year Soul Beast, and Dugu Bo agreed to search Sunset Forest.
• After Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan left, Lin En summoned Ingkaros and Sageross.
• Lin En admired Sageross’s evolution into King Sa and explained that its power had caused the disturbance at the spring.

Sageross evolved and gained the Ice Dragon King's soul, while Ingkaros remained just short of his own superevolution. The dragon souls revealed two Dragon Cores and two God-Level Soul Bones, and Lin En began absorbing the bones as he prepared for the pain.

• Sageross evolved to soul power level fifty, while Lin En reassured Ingkaros that he would eventually catch up.
• Lin En asked Sageross and Ingkaros to summon their dragon soul forms, and the two mantises transformed with the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings’ souls.
• The dragon souls produced two Dragon Cores and two universal God-Level Soul Bones, which Lin En identified and collected.
• Lin En reserved the Dragon Cores for a future breakthrough and chose the Ice Dragon King’s Soul Bone for his brain and the Fire Dragon King’s Soul Bone for his torso.
• Lin En began absorbing both Soul Bones at once and endured violent pain as their frost and flame energies entered his body.

After absorbing the Fire Dragon King's Torso Bone and Ice Dragon King's Head Soul Bone, Lin En discovered that his strength and spiritual power had grown dramatically. He and Dugu Bo set out to hunt high-level Soul Beasts, and Lin En chose a Purple Intent Spider Emperor to devour and fuse into his Iceflame Eight Spider Lances.

• Lin En awoke after three days of absorbing the two Soul Bones, shattered a boulder with one punch, and found that his spiritual power had reached at least the Boundless Vast Sea realm.
• Dugu Bo told Lin En that he had found five Soul Beasts over eighty thousand years old, and Lin En agreed to go hunting with him.
• Lin En promised Dugu Bo that any Soul Bone they found could go to Dugu Yan, then persuaded him to spare an eighty-thousand-year Silver Moon Spirit Fox.
• After passing two more high-level Soul Beasts, Lin En found a seventy-thousand-year Purple Intent Spider Emperor and asked Dugu Bo to help him hunt it.
• Lin En planned to devour the Purple Intent Spider Emperor and fuse it into his Iceflame Eight Spider Lances rather than absorb its Soul Ring.

Lin En watched the Purple-Winged Spider Emperor slaughter its own clan and consume their blood essence to raise its cultivation to the brink of a hundred thousand years. A heavenly tribulation began, and Dugu Bo arrived, eager for the Soul Bone a hundred-thousand-year beast would yield for Yanyan.

• Lin En chased the Purple-Winged Spider Emperor to the Purple-Winged Demon Spider habitat, where the Emperor began killing its kin to increase its strength.
• The Purple-Winged Spider Emperor ignored its clan members’ pleas and slaughtered thousands, including hatchlings, raising its cultivation from seventy-eight thousand to ninety-nine thousand nine hundred years.
• Lin En watched without intervening, expecting Dugu Bo to arrive and wanting to see the Spider Emperor’s limits.
• A hundred-thousand-year thunder tribulation formed above the habitat, and Dugu Bo descended beside Lin En to ask what had happened.
• Lin En explained the Spider Emperor’s actions, and Dugu Bo reacted with delight at the prospect of a Soul Bone that could help Yanyan avoid poison backlash.
