• Tang Hao and fourteen Clear Sky Sect allies released their Martial Souls and activated their Martial Soul Avatars, while Ye Chen summoned his Purity Bamboo Staff True Body.
• Tang Hao’s Slaughter God Domain weakened Ye Chen, but Ye Chen’s Purity Domain quickly suppressed it and enhanced his senses while dulling the attackers’.

• Bibi Dong recalled searching for Hu Liena after she left Slaughter City with Ye Chen and learning that they had stayed together at the Rose Hotel.
• Bibi Dong pressed Hu Liena for more details, but Hu Liena withheld the truth about her relationship with Ye Chen.
• Bibi Dong took Chrysanthemum Ghost Douluo outside Barak City after sensing a fierce battle, while King Kun Dela ordered Barton to investigate from a safe distance.
• Ye Chen struck the immobilized Tang Yan with the Eye of Corrosive Poison, then summoned giant trees to crash down on his enemies.

Ye Chen used his Soul Bone Skills to kill Tang Yan, seven Soul Douluo, and Tang Lie while Tang Xiao kept Tang Hao occupied. He then restrained Tang Ling and Tang Li, leaving the battle still in progress.

• Tang Yan broke free of Tree Eye Paralysis, but Ye Chen's Eye of Corrosive Poison killed him as Verdant Trees Reach the Sky began falling.

• Ye Chen moved away as Tang Xiao approached Tang Hao and self-destructed while Tang Hao remained confined.
• The blast erased Tang Hao's Haotian True Body and left a crater, but Tang Hao soon flew out of it.

After killing the Clear Sky Sect experts, Ye Chen collected their Soul Bones and pursued the badly wounded Tang Hao. Bibi Dong and the Chrysanthemum Ghost Douluo arrived at the battlefield, where Bibi Dong sensed that another survivor besides Tang Hao had escaped.

• Ye Chen decided to pursue Tang Hao but first gathered the Soul Bones dropped by Tang Xiao and the other Clear Sky Sect elders.
• Ye Chen followed Tang Hao's Soul Power fluctuations while Bibi Dong arrived with Yue Guan and Guimei to inspect the battlefield.
• Yue Guan and Guimei collected twelve battered remains and reported that thirteen people had died there.
• Bibi Dong sensed that fourteen people had died and that two had escaped: a powerful expert and a Soul Douluo whose Soul Power quality exceeded that of ordinary Titled Douluo.

Bibi Dong examined the battlefield and identified the dead as powerful Clear Sky Sect and Star Luo Empire fighters. Discovering the Clear Sky Sect Sect Master Token, she suspected Ye Chen had defeated them and wondered why they had ambushed him.

• Bibi Dong estimated the dead fighters' strengths and ordered Yue Guan and Guimei to search for Storage Soul Tools and identify tokens.
• Yue Guan and Guimei found the Clear Sky Sect Sect Master Token, five elder tokens, and eight Star Luo Royal Family guest tokens.

• Bibi Dong ruled out Qian Daoliu and considered whether Ye Chen had defeated the Clear Sky Sect and Star Luo Empire forces.
• Bibi Dong asked Yue Guan and Guimei whether Ye Chen had a grudge against the Clear Sky Sect.

Bibi Dong suspected the Star Luo Royal Family had hired the Clear Sky Sect to ambush Ye Chen, while Ye Chen assessed the Soul Bones he had gained and continued chasing the wounded Tang Hao. Tang Hao headed for Slaughter City, hoping its restrictions on soul skills would help him escape Ye Chen.

• Tang Hao decided to flee to Slaughter City, where he hoped Ye Chen's soul skills would be nullified, and changed direction toward its entrance.

Ye Chen pursued the badly injured Tang Hao to Slaughter City, worried that its rules and the Slaughter King could turn the chase against him. Both Slaughter Gods entered the city, and the enforcers suspected Ye Chen had come to hunt Tang Hao.

• Ye Chen realized Tang Hao was fleeing toward Slaughter City and considered the risks of fighting there without his usual abilities.
• Tang Hao reached Slaughter City and forced his way past a young enforcer by unleashing his Slaughter God Domain.
• A middle-aged enforcer identified Tang Hao as the Haotian Slaughter God and warned the young enforcer against insulting him.
• Ye Chen arrived and entered Slaughter City after the middle-aged enforcer recognized him as the Asura Slaughter God.
• The enforcers speculated that Ye Chen had entered Slaughter City to hunt down Tang Hao.

Ye Chen entered Slaughter City and discovered that his Purity Domain let him use soul skills there, giving him the advantage over the wounded Tang Hao. He trapped Tang Hao and began a barrage of attacks, leaving the fight unresolved.

• Ye Chen unleashed his soul bone skills, bombarding the immobilized Tang Hao with branches, trees, and blood-red vines.

Ye Chen killed Tang Hao after breaking his Haotian True Body and striking him with several Soul Bone Skills. As Ye Chen examined the spoils, the Slaughter King considered attacking him, believing the Slaughter Domain would suppress Ye Chen’s abilities.

• Ye Chen broke Tang Hao’s defenses with blood vines and used Eye of Corrosive Poison to weaken his Haotian True Body.
• Ye Chen shattered Tang Hao’s Haotian True Body, struck him with Creation God Light, and pierced his chest with a blood vine, killing him.
• Ye Chen noted that Tang Hao’s death meant all fifteen ambushers had been killed, then went to inspect the spoils.
• The Slaughter King watched Ye Chen from the shadows and weighed the risks of killing him.
• The Slaughter King decided Ye Chen’s skills were temporarily unavailable and believed his Slaughter Domain could suppress Ye Chen’s presumed mutated Slaughter God Domain.

Ye Chen controlled the newly advanced Blood-colored Mandala tree and made it perform a Soul Sacrifice, gaining his Ninth Soul Ring and a right leg bone as he broke through to Titled Douluo. He reached Level 92, while his two External Soul Bones began absorbing his Soul Power to increase their ages.

• Ye Chen used his Eighth Soul Skill, Turn Back to the Shore, to control the Blood-colored Mandala tree's consciousness.
• Ye Chen ordered the Ten Thousand Year tree to perform a Soul Sacrifice, and it burned away its life and cultivation.

• Ye Chen checked his Attribute Panel and found that he had reached Level 92 with nine red Soul Rings.
• Ye Chen realized that his two External Soul Bones were absorbing his Soul Power and estimated that they had reached 200,000 years.

After reaching Titled Douluo, Ye Chen left the Star Dou Great Forest and assessed his new income and the cost of upgrading his soul rings and bones. He examined his two Ninth Soul Skills, including an illusion domain that could rewrite reality at the cost of his Soul Power, but had not yet tested it.

• Ye Chen noticed high-age soul beasts drawn by the Blood-colored Mandala tree's Soul Sacrifice and headed for the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest.
• On his way back to Heaven Dou City, Ye Chen found that Own Son now paid him 100 Gold Soul Coins each time and calculated how much he would need to upgrade his soul rings, soul bones, and buy a divine position.
• Ye Chen assessed Eighteen Levels of Hell, a skill that trapped targets in eighteen illusion layers and could inflict Spiritual Power attacks on those weaker than him.
• Ye Chen considered Illusory Realm of Reality and Illusion, which let him rewrite events within a domain by reducing his maximum Soul Power, though he had not tested its cost.

Ye Chen tested the Illusory Realm of Reality and Illusion and discovered that it could revive beings who died within its domain, though the Soul Power cost depended on the target’s strength. He then activated the Purity Domain to see how it would affect the Ninth Soul Skill.

• Ye Chen examined the Manjusaka and Domain of Depravity Soul Bone Skills and considered how they could work together.
• Ye Chen used the Illusory Realm of Reality and Illusion on two ants, but could not revive the one that had died before entering the domain.
• Ye Chen killed the living ant and used the domain to revive it, losing a tiny amount of Soul Power.
• Ye Chen healed a deep cut on his arm and found that the cost was far greater than reviving the ant.
• Ye Chen released the Purity Domain to test whether it could reduce the cost or expand the Illusory Realm of Reality and Illusion’s effects.
