• Tian Chen and Ye Lingling spent the evening together, and Tian Chen offered her a maid outfit and a fluffy Snow Fox tail.

• Tian Chen declined Wu Zi’s offer to escort him, transformed with his Martial Soul, and flew into Death Canyon.

• Tian Chen concealed himself and flew deeper into the canyon, reaching a dim forest of blackish-purple trees.

Tian Chen explored Death Canyon to test his changed Martial Soul and domains, then encountered a mutated Devouring Dragon whose devouring attack exposed him. He unleashed his Evil God Domain, but the dragon’s destruction attribute weakened it.

• Tian Chen entered Death Canyon cautiously, relying on his own vigilance as he hunted Soul Beasts and absorbed their Soul Rings.
• After several hours, Tian Chen hid with his Simulation Soul Skill when he heard crashes approaching through the forest.
• Tian Chen recognized the purple-scaled Soul Beast as a mutated Devouring Dragon after it used Devour the Heavens and Earth.
• The Devouring Dragon’s wide-area attack disrupted Tian Chen’s concealment and drained his vitality, so it charged him with a stronger blast.
• Tian Chen released his Martial Soul and Evil God Domain, but the dragon’s destruction attribute reduced the domain’s devouring power by more than half.

Tian Chen discovered that a Devouring Dragon wielded the Destruction Attribute and raised his third Soul Ring to ten thousand years by absorbing another Devouring Dragon. Deep in Death Canyon, a newly strengthened old man planned to obtain a ninth Soul Ring and prepare to strike against Spirit Hall.

• Tian Chen's evil Qi failed to overcome the Devouring Dragon's Destruction Attribute, but he eventually devoured the beast and its Soul Ring.
• Tian Chen's third Soul Ring rose from a thousand-year purple ring to a ten-thousand-year black ring, and he realized that absorbing the same type of Soul Beast improved a ring's age efficiently.

After a year hunting Soul Beasts in Death Canyon, Tian Chen reached rank fifty-nine but still had not found the place where a true dragon fell. At the Lake of Death, he discovered that the dragon-blooded Soul Beasts gathered there—and spotted a huge purple-scaled Tyrant Dragon.

• Tian Chen noticed that the Soul Beasts drinking at the lake were all Earth Dragons with Dragon Clan blood.
• Tian Chen saw an enormous Tyrant Dragon with deep purple scales like those of the Devouring Dragon and reacted with barely contained excitement.

Tian Chen followed a ten-thousand-year Tyrant Dragon and confirmed that it possessed the Destruction Attribute, then discovered that it was drawn to something hidden inside a mountain. The Tyrant Dragon’s rampage exposed a cavern where a gray-robed man was refining a Corpse Puppet, and the chapter ended as eight Soul Masters emerged to confront the beast.

• Tian Chen identified the Tyrant Dragon as a rare Earth Dragon and secretly followed it using his Simulation Soul Skill.
• In an underground cavern, a gray-robed nine-ringed man continued refining a Corpse Puppet from a tortured Earth Dragon soul, hoping to escape Spirit Hall.
• A middle-aged subordinate warned the gray-robed man that a ten-thousand-year Tyrant Dragon had arrived, and the man ordered his people to hold it off.
• Tian Chen watched the Tyrant Dragon ram the mountainside and confirmed that it possessed the Destruction Attribute and was attracted to something underground.
• Eight figures emerged from the mountain, led by a six-ringed Soul Emperor, as a pungent bloody stench spread through the air.

Tian Chen watched A Xiang, A De, and five other Evil Soul Kings attack a ten-thousand-year Tyrant Dragon, while the middle-aged leader tried to draw the beast’s attention. The leader’s poisoned tongue disintegrated against the Tyrant Dragon’s scales, leaving him shocked.

• A Xiang and A De used their Vampire Bat Martial Souls to evade the Tyrant Dragon from the air while the other Evil Soul Kings attacked.
• Tian Chen watched from hiding and recognized the brothers’ dangerous bat-type abilities, reflecting on the restrictions Qian Daoliu had placed on him.
• The middle-aged leader transformed and attacked the Tyrant Dragon with corrosive poison gas and his purplish-black tongue.
• The poison gas dissolved against the Tyrant Dragon’s scales, and the beast destroyed the tip of the leader’s tongue when it struck its belly.

Salun’s group failed to subdue the Tyrant Dragon, and a powerful old man emerged atop a colossal, horned Soul Beast to punish the fleeing A De and A Xiang. The old man then spotted Tian Chen and ordered him to come out.

• Salun and the other Soul Kings attacked the Tyrant Dragon with poison, but their Soul Skills had no effect.
• The Tyrant Dragon killed four Soul Kings with its tail, while A De and A Xiang fled and left Salun behind.
• A colossal, lifeless-looking Soul Beast emerged as the mountain crumbled, revealing an old man with Titled Douluo-level cultivation standing on its head.
• The old man ordered the Soul Beast to eat A De and A Xiang, and it swallowed the brothers.
• The old man noticed Tian Chen and ordered him to come out, leaving Tian Chen alarmed that his Simulation Soul Skill could not fool a Titled Douluo.

Tian Chen watched a gray-robed Evil Soul Master use a Corpse Puppet to kill the Tyrant Dragon, until his grandfather, Golden Crocodile Douluo, appeared and destroyed the puppet. The old man unleashed a devastating attack, and Tian E escaped with Tian Chen as explosions swallowed the valley.

• The gray-robed old man awakened the colossal Corpse Puppet, which killed the Tyrant Dragon and began forming a Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Ring.

• Tian E grabbed Tian Chen and fled through twisted space as a massive explosion swallowed the valley.

After a Titled Douluo-level Evil Soul Master’s self-detonation, Tian E led Tian Chen into a fissure beneath the Lake of Death. They discovered the remains of a Purple Brilliant Heaven Destroying Dragon, including its Dragon Core and Soul Bone.

• Spirit Hall’s cardinal enforcement team arrived, and Tian E told them that a Titled Douluo-level Evil Soul Master had blown himself up.
• Tian E ordered Tian Chen to follow him to the center of the explosion and led him into fissures beneath the Lake of Death.
• Tian E and Tian Chen followed a dense presence of destruction through the fissures toward a purple glow.
• Tian E protected Tian Chen as they entered a cavern filled with deep-purple crystals and the thousand-meter skeleton of a colossal beast.
• Tian E identified the remains as a Purple Brilliant Heaven Destroying Dragon and saw that it had left behind a Dragon Core and a Soul Bone.

Tian Chen and Tian E discussed the Purple Brilliant Heaven Destroying Dragon’s origins and secured its Soul Bone and Dragon Core before returning to Spirit City. Tian Chen reunited with Ye Lingling at the manor, while Tian E left them alone.

• Tian E explained that the Purple Brilliant Heaven Destroying Dragon was an extinct sub-dragon destroyed by the Dragon God, and he speculated that Tian Chen’s family came from another continent.
• Tian E handed Tian Chen the Dragon’s Head Soul Bone and Dragon Core, and Tian Chen stored them in his Soul Tool because he could not absorb a Head Soul Bone.
• Tian E teased Tian Chen about having children with Ye Lingling, then asked him to bring Lingling and the other two back safely; Tian Chen thought of Hu Liena and Dugu Yan.
• Tian E carried Tian Chen from the cavern to the manor in Spirit City, where the guards greeted them respectfully.
• Ye Lingling rushed to Tian Chen, hugged him, and chided him for returning a month late; Tian E smiled and disappeared.

Tian Chen reunited with Ye Lingling and then prepared to absorb the purified Dragon Core under Tian E’s supervision. After swallowing it, he suffered intense pain as its destructive power clashed and mingled with his Martial Soul.

• Tian Chen brought Ye Lingling into the castle, learned Ma Hongjun was away on an end-of-term assessment, and teased Ye Lingling while they bathed.
• Tian E studied the family genealogy and considered the risks of Tian Chen absorbing the Dragon Core.
• Tian E led Tian Chen and Ye Lingling into a soundproof chamber and explained that Qian Daoliu had spent a night purifying the Dragon Core’s balefulness.
• Tian Chen swallowed the Dragon Core despite Tian E’s warning about the pain.
• Tian Chen’s Martial Soul emerged as deep purple destructive power intertwined with gray-black Evil Qi.

Tian Chen survived the fusion of the Purple Brilliant Heaven Destroying Dragon's Dragon Core and skull, which strengthened his body and power but left his Soul Power at rank fifty-nine. After waking, he left the secret chamber with Ye Lingling and went to speak with Tian E.

• The Purple Brilliant Heaven Destroying Dragon's Dragon Core spread destructive power through Tian Chen, while wisps of black Qi protected him and his Martial Soul scales turned purple.
• A crown-shaped skull emerged from Tian Chen's Soul Tool and fused with him, devouring his Spirit Condensation Wisdom Skull and suppressing the Dragon Core's destructive force.
• Over seven days, the Dragon Core's power merged with Tian Chen's bloodline and strengthened his body; Tian E left the secret chamber once Tian Chen was stable.
• Tian Chen awoke with destruction merged into his mental power and blackish-purple Soul Power, though his cultivation remained at rank fifty-nine; his Martial Soul became the Purple Brilliant Evil God Crocodile.
• Tian Chen learned that the skull's fusion had erased his Simulation Soul Skill, but he accepted the loss because the new skull granted stronger skills, then left with Ye Lingling.
• Tian E sent Ye Lingling to rest and stayed in the hall to discuss matters with Tian Chen.
