Tian Chen prepared to use Tang San to restrain Tang Hao, but Grandmaster, Flender, and Liu Erlong summoned the Golden Sacred Dragon to attack him. Dugu Bo intervened on Tian Chen’s behalf and joined him as Dugu Yan confronted Tian Chen about keeping her uninformed.
Tian Chen broke Grandmaster’s Martial Soul Fusion Skill and ordered Yu Xiaogang and his companions arrested over the Pope Token. He then subdued Liu Erlong, leaving the group defeated and Bibi Dong’s faction watching his orders.
Tian Chen demanded that Bibi Dong let him execute Yu Xiaogang, but Bibi Dong used her authority and power to stop him. Tian Chen backed down because he did not want to put Hu Liena in a difficult position, while Ning Fengzhi recognized the rift between the Pope’s Palace and the Worship Hall as an opportunity for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
During the battle above Spirit City, Tian E overwhelmed Tang Hao and saved Tian Chen from Bibi Dong, revealing that he had nearly completed a divine inheritance. Tian Chen killed the dying Tang Hao, leaving Tang Xiao and the Clear Sky Sect elders grieving as their battle continued.
Tian Chen explored Tang Hao’s memories and learned how the young Clear Sky Sect genius received the sect’s inherited Soul Bone and mastered the Great Sumeru Hammer. He discovered the principles behind Ring Detonation, but continued searching Tang Hao’s memories for Ah Yin and her Blue Silver Emperor Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone.
Tian Chen absorbed Tang Hao’s memories, learning the location of Ah Yin and the Blue Silver Emperor Soul Bone before emerging mentally exhausted. He then challenged the Clear Sky Sect’s five Titled Douluo elders to test his strength, while Tang Xiao prepared to take Tang San away.
Tian Chen challenged the Clear Sky Sect’s Seventh Elder and used his second Soul Skill, the Eye of Chaos, to trap and drain him. The Seventh Elder broke free with his third Soul Skill, leaving both sides poised to continue the fight under the watch of Spirit Hall’s Offerings.
Tian Chen attacked the Seventh Elder with Divine Slaughter's Domain and then used Evil God Domain to conceal himself and drain the elder's Soul Power. After his ambush was blocked, Tian Chen activated several enhancements and launched a powerful claw strike, while Bibi Dong watched with conflicted feelings about Hu Liena.
Tian Chen used his space-infused Dark Gold Dreadclaw to force the Seventh Elder to defend himself, then revealed that he could fuse his Soul Rings. The chapter ended with all six rings fused into a single Soul Ring exceeding two hundred thousand years old, as the Seventh Elder watched in horror.
Tian Chen fused his six Soul Rings to manifest the Purple Brilliant Evil God Crocodile True Body, an incomplete Martial Soul Avatar of overwhelming power. He used it to kill the Seventh Elder, leaving no trace of him behind.
After Tian Chen killed the Seventh Elder, Tang Xiao ignited his Fire of Life to protect Tang San and the Clear Sky Sect elders from Spirit Hall. As the battle escalated, Tian Chen tried to kill the unconscious Tang San, but Tang Hao’s soul affected his aim, and the chapter ended with Tian Chen attempting to crush Tang San’s head.
A Clear Sky ancestor intervened just before Tian Chen could kill Tang San, rescuing Tang San and Tang Xiao and revealing himself as a god. Tian Chen learned that the Clear Sky Sect had once produced a god, while the God of Destruction reprimanded the God of Devastation for interfering in the human world.
Tian Chen kept the Titan Giant Ape Torso Bone for a future plan and chose to remain with Hu Liena, Dugu Yan, and Ye Lingling despite their strained relationships. Meanwhile, Tang Xiao and Tang Yuehua sailed away from the Douluo Continent with the surviving Clear Sky Sect, hoping Tang San might one day let them return.
Tian Chen left Xiao Wu imprisoned and discussed his plans to travel with Hu Liena, then joined his friends for dinner. The gathering ended with tension over the two seats at the head of the table, which Huyan Li discreetly resolved by breaking a chair.
After the banquet, Tian Chen and the women settled into the strained balance of their relationships, while Hu Liena prepared to leave for the Pope’s Palace. Once she was gone, Tian Chen turned his thoughts to retrieving Ah Yin’s Hundred-Thousand-Year Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone.
Tian Chen prepared to leave Spirit City secretly for Nuoding City with Ye Lingling and Dugu Yan, taking precautions to hide their identities. After helping Ma Hongjun improve his rapport with Ah Hei, Tian Chen departed the estate with the two women in disguise.
Tian Chen, Ye Lingling, and Dugu Yan reached a town near Nuoding City, where they encountered Xiao Chenyu carrying the dying Wang Sheng. Wang Sheng died from Mandala Snake venom, and Tian Chen returned to the carriage without intervening.
Tian Chen brought Ye Lingling and Dugu Yan to the hidden cave where Tang Hao and Ah Yin had lived, and revealed Ah Yin’s Hundred Thousand Year Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone. Ye Lingling began absorbing it while Tian Chen blocked Ah Yin’s grass from reaching her and comforted Dugu Yan.
Ye Lingling completed her fusion with the Blue Silver Emperor’s hundred-thousand-year right leg bone, while Tian Chen took Ah Yin away and spent time with Dugu Yan. Three days later, Ye Lingling awoke at Soul Power level fifty-seven, and Tian Chen considered using an eighty-five-thousand-year Blue Silver King as her sixth Soul Ring.
After Ye Lingling gained powerful healing and flight abilities from the Hundred-Thousand-Year Blue Silver Emperor Soul Bone, Tian Chen left the secluded valley with her and Dugu Yan to rest and prepare in Nuoding City. He sent a letter and token to Spirit City, then went out masked to buy fresh ingredients for dinner.
Tian Chen overheard reports that Tang Hao had died and the Seven Great Sects would be reelected, then witnessed Su Yuntao confront Sisi over the paternity of her son. Tian Chen left the tavern as Su Yuntao continued beating Sisi.
