Chapter Summaries

After awakening as four separate hundred-thousand-year Soul Beasts, Ye Yao learned that he had to be killed by powerful Soul Masters to complete the system’s missions and possess their bodies. The Heavenly Screen then appeared across Douluo Continent, announcing that it would reveal the ten greatest Soul Beasts and their locations.

• Ye Yao discovered he could independently control his Azure Dragon, Black Tortoise, White Tiger, and Vermilion Bird bodies, all scattered across Douluo Continent.
• The Four Holy Beasts System assigned Ye Yao a mission to become Soul Rings for powerful Soul Masters and possess them after they killed him.
• The Heavenly Screen activated at all four of Ye Yao’s locations and announced that it would reveal information about the ten greatest Soul Beasts.
• People across Douluo Continent, including Soul Masters and major powers, saw the screen and reacted with shock, interest, or skepticism.
• Bibi Dong considered the screen’s potential to help her find Soul Rings, while Bo Saixi and the elders of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect sensed its immense power.

The sky screen revealed Xiao Wu as the tenth-ranked Soul Beast, a transformed hundred-thousand-year-old rabbit currently cultivating anew on Sea God Island. Soul Masters across the continent considered hunting her but abandoned the idea because of the island’s dangers, while Tang San and Bo Saixi protected her; Ye Yao concluded that the ranking measured current combat strength.

• The sky screen identified Xiao Wu as a hundred-thousand-year-old Soul Beast in human form and ranked her tenth because she was still cultivating from scratch.
• Yu Xiaogang explained that transformed Soul Beasts were weak before maturing, prompting Soul Masters to consider taking Xiao Wu’s ring and bone before they learned she was on Sea God Island.
• Bibi Dong recognized Xiao Wu and Tang San on the screen but refused to risk sending Spirit Hall forces to Sea God Island.
• Ning Fengzhi, Tang Xiao, and officials from both empires dismissed the possibility of pursuing Xiao Wu because reaching the island and defeating its guardians seemed too dangerous.
• Tang San covered Xiao Wu’s eyes, and Bo Saixi ordered Sea God Island’s Soul Masters to resume their duties and continue the trials as usual.
• Ye Yao watched from his volcano and concluded that the ranking was based on the Soul Beasts’ current strength.

The canopy revealed the Demon Soul Great White Shark King, a powerful Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast protecting the waters near Sea God Island, and the major factions decided not to risk hunting it. Ye Yao’s Black Tortoise Clone headed toward Sea God Island as the canopy introduced the eighth-ranked Evil Orca King.

• The canopy identified the adult, Hundred-Thousand-Year Demon Soul Great White Shark King and described its strength in the sea.
• Bibi Dong considered hunting the shark but decided Spirit Hall would not risk a costly expedition near Sea God Island.
• Ning Fengzhi and Tang Xiao likewise dismissed the idea of fighting the Sea Soul Beasts in their waters.
• Bo Saixi said outsiders would not be allowed to hunt Soul Beasts near Sea God Island without permission.
• Ye Yao’s Black Tortoise Clone swam rapidly toward Sea God Island, frightening nearby Sea Soul Beasts.
• The canopy revealed the adult, Hundred-Thousand-Year Evil Orca King, leader of a savage orca pod southeast of Sea God Island.

The sky screen revealed the one-hundred-thousand-year Titan Giant Ape as the seventh-ranked Soul Beast, located in the Star Dou Great Forest. Bibi Dong immediately ordered Spirit Hall teams to prepare for an expedition, while other powers also began considering how to pursue or watch the beast.

• The Evil Orca King’s appearance made Bibi Dong abandon her plans to visit Sea God Island, while Bo Saixi worried that the sky screen was exposing the island’s secrets.
• The sky screen showed the adult Titan Giant Ape in the core region of the Star Dou Great Forest and ranked him seventh among the continent’s great Soul Beasts.
• Bibi Dong ordered Spirit Hall to gather Soul Masters skilled in control and tracking at the forest’s outskirts.
• Ning Fengzhi proposed sending Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect observers, while Clear Sky Sect elders hoped Spirit Hall and other forces would weaken each other.
• The Heaven Dou Emperor and the Star Luo Empire dispatched Soul Masters toward the Star Dou Great Forest, drawing the continent’s attention there.

The canopy revealed the Sky Azure Bull Python, another Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast in the Star Dou Great Forest, then unveiled the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King’s million-year cultivation and near-divine power. Bibi Dong reconsidered Spirit Hall’s plans but still ordered its forces to hurry to the Star Dou Great Forest.

• The canopy showed the Sky Azure Bull Python guarding the Lake of Life, and Bibi Dong ordered two more Douluos summoned to help Spirit Hall target it and the Titan Giant Ape.
• Sword Douluo warned Ning Fengzhi that several Soul Beasts stronger than the two Star Dou Forest guardians might live in the forest’s core region.
• The canopy revealed the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King in waters west of Sea God Island and identified him as a million-year Soul Beast approaching godhood.
• Bibi Dong realized the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King might have powerful sea Soul Beasts as subordinates and considered whether a similar overlord guarded the Star Dou Great Forest.
• Bibi Dong ordered Spirit Hall’s forces to hurry to the Star Dou Great Forest, expecting the canopy to reveal whether a stronger Soul Beast was there.

The sky screen announced that the top four soul beasts had no fixed ranking and revealed a two-hundred-thousand-year-old White Tiger in the Far North. The revelation left everyone questioning how it could rank above the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King, while Ye Yao continued swimming toward Sea God Island.

• Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo doubted that even their combined strength could defeat the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King, and the empires abandoned plans to investigate the sea.
• Tang San asked Bo Saixi why the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King had not become a god, and she explained that age alone could not grant godhood.
• Ye Yao's Black Tortoise avatar pushed through the ocean currents toward Sea God Island as the sky screen prepared to reveal fourth place.
• Spirit Hall, the empires, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan gathered around the Star Dou Great Forest, each watching the sky screen and preparing for the hunt.
• The sky screen stated that the top four soul beasts were close in strength and had no particular order, then identified fourth place as a two-hundred-thousand-year-old White Tiger in White Tiger Canyon.
• The White Tiger's reveal stunned the continent, and observers wondered how it could rank above the hundred ten-thousand-year Deep Sea Demonic Whale King.

The factions reacted to the sky screen's revelation of a two-hundred-thousand-year white tiger and redirected their plans toward hunting it in White Tiger Canyon. Bibi Dong split Spirit Hall's forces, sending Ghost Douluo to investigate the Lake of Life while she led the others north to claim the tiger.

• Dai Mubai's father and the Star Luo Imperial Family wondered how the white tiger related to their White Tiger Martial Soul and concluded their Martial Soul might be an evolved variant.
• The Soul Masters near the Star Dou Great Forest abandoned their plans to hunt the Titan Giant Ape and the Sky Azure Bull Python first and began heading toward the white tiger.
• Bibi Dong sent Ghost Douluo to investigate the Lake of Life without engaging its guardian Soul Beasts, then led Chrysanthemum Douluo and the others toward White Tiger Canyon.
• Yu Yuanzhen redirected the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan toward White Tiger Canyon, where they hoped to kill the white tiger or obtain its Soul Bone.
• The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and other Heaven Dou and Star Luo forces also hurried toward the Far North, leaving Ghost Douluo as the only one still moving toward the Star Dou Great Forest.

Bo Saixi and others questioned why two-hundred-thousand-year Soul Beasts ranked above the million-year Deep Sea Demonic Whale King. When the sky screen revealed the juvenile Black Tortoise in third place, many Soul Masters dismissed the rankings and continued toward White Tiger Canyon to hunt the White Tiger.

• Bo Saixi questioned whether the sky screen ranked Soul Beasts by cultivation and concluded that the top four might share an unknown quality.
• The sky screen revealed the two-hundred-thousand-year juvenile Black Tortoise, whose ancient divine beast bloodline gave it great growth potential and whose strength was limited by its age.
• Soul Masters across the continent disputed the Black Tortoise’s third-place ranking and many decided to hunt the White Tiger for its Soul Ring and Soul Bone.
• Bibi Dong rejected Chrysanthemum Douluo’s warning and ordered Spirit Hall to hurry to the White Tiger, while Ning Fengzhi’s party and other factions continued onward.

Bo Saixi watched the Black Tortoise approach Sea God Island while Ye Yao continued toward it, and Spirit Hall and the great sects gathered in the Far North to hunt White Tiger. They discovered White Tiger was a colossal powerhouse whose attacks devastated their ranks, and the chapter ended as the Titled Douluos charged it.

• Bo Saixi stopped Sea Dragon Douluo from mobilizing Sea God Island's Soul Masters and watched the Black Tortoise approach with wary interest.
• Ye Yao continued advancing through the deep sea in his Black Tortoise avatar, unconcerned by the controversy over its ranking.
• Bibi Dong led Spirit Hall's forces to White Tiger Canyon, where Soul Masters from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan also gathered to hunt White Tiger.
• White Tiger emerged from the canyon hundreds of meters tall, shocking Bibi Dong, Sword Douluo, Ning Fengzhi, Bone Douluo, and Yu Yuanzhen.
• White Tiger's paw strike injured and scattered the advancing Soul Masters, then its spiritual roar incapacitated many more as Bibi Dong ordered the Titled Douluos to attack.
• Bibi Dong vowed to kill White Tiger, and White Tiger advanced against the charging Titled Douluos as the canyon collapsed around them.

Ye Yao’s White Tiger avatar continued its assault on the Soul Masters in White Tiger Canyon while the sky screen revealed the second-place Vermilion Bird, a juvenile two-hundred-thousand-year Soul Beast living in a volcano. Bibi Dong ordered weaker Soul Masters to retreat as the canyon battle continued.

• Chrysanthemum Douluo and two Soul Douluos attacked the White Tiger, but their Soul Skills barely affected it.
• The White Tiger dodged Sword Douluo’s strike, charged the crowd, and shook Soul Masters with its roar.
• The sky screen revealed the Vermilion Bird’s age, location, fire abilities, and ranking among the top four Soul Beasts.
• Soul Masters watching the screen dismissed the Vermilion Bird, while those in White Tiger Canyon remained under attack.
• Bibi Dong ordered low-level Soul Masters to withdraw and had Soul Douluos protect their retreat.

The major factions considered whether they could hunt the Vermilion Bird, but its volcanic lair made the task too dangerous. In White Tiger Canyon, the White Tiger continued to overwhelm its attackers, leaving Yu Yuanzhen injured and the remaining Soul Masters shaken.

• Ning Fengzhi kept the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect’s forces focused on protecting their people and decided they would wait for an opportunity to fight the White Tiger.
• Tang Xiao and the Clear Sky Sect elders judged that fighting the Vermilion Bird inside its volcano did not suit their strengths and decided to wait for more information.
• The Heaven Dou and Star Luo Empires chose not to send more people to Crimson Flame Volcano, while Ma Hongjun admired the Vermilion Bird and Dai Mubai warned him that they were not strong enough to hunt it.
• Yu Yuanzhen struck the White Tiger with lightning, but the beast pounced on him and sent him reeling with an injury.
• The White Tiger drove back nearby Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan Soul Masters with its tail and roar, causing weaker fighters to retreat.

After the White Tiger forced the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and the two empires to retreat, the sky screen revealed the Azure Dragon, a juvenile two-hundred-thousand-year Soul Beast in the Qingchuan Mountain Range. Yu Yuanzhen and the empires set out toward it, while Tang Xiao began considering whether the Clear Sky Sect should end its seclusion and pursue the beast.

• Yu Yuanzhen ordered the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan to retreat from White Tiger Canyon, and the Heaven Dou and Star Luo Empires withdrew as well.
• The sky screen revealed the Azure Dragon's location and described its lightning abilities, defenses, and ancient divine-beast bloodline.
• Yu Yuanzhen recognized the Azure Dragon as a promising match for his clan and led his people toward the Qingchuan Mountain Range.
• The Heaven Dou and Star Luo Empires also redirected their forces toward the Azure Dragon, sending the wounded back first.
• Tang Xiao discussed the Azure Dragon with the Clear Sky Sect's elders and invited them to deliberate about leaving seclusion.

As the other factions withdrew from White Tiger Canyon, Bibi Dong waited until the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect also retreated before ordering Spirit Hall to attack White Tiger with full force. She began unleashing the sinister power of her second Martial Soul.

• The Heaven Dou and Star Luo imperial families sent messengers and secretly dispatched people to the front lines to pursue the Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring.
• Bo Saixi considered the four newly appeared Soul Beasts and ordered Sea God Island to secure the surrounding waters while leaving Black Tortoise alone for now.
• Most Soul Masters left White Tiger Canyon for the Qingchuan Mountain Range, leaving Spirit Hall and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect facing White Tiger.
• Ning Fengzhi recognized that Spirit Hall was conserving its strength and ordered the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect to withdraw, with Sword Douluo covering their retreat.
• After the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had left, Bibi Dong stationed two agility-attack-type Soul Douluos on guard and ordered Spirit Hall to attack White Tiger with full force.
• Bibi Dong’s Death Spider Emperor power receded as a colder, more sinister presence emerged from her.

Bibi Dong and the Spirit Hall forces launched a coordinated attack on Ye Yao’s White Tiger avatar in White Tiger Canyon, wounding it but facing powerful retaliation. Meanwhile, a gigantic Black Tortoise appeared off the coast of Sea God Island.

• Bibi Dong activated her Soul Devouring Spider Emperor Martial Soul Avatar, and Chrysanthemum Douluo and Holy Dragon Douluo joined the battle against Ye Yao.
• Bibi Dong ordered the Soul Douluos to restrain the White Tiger and focus their attacks on its left foreleg.
• Holy Dragon Douluo’s attack was swatted aside, and the White Tiger sent him crashing into a cliff before Chrysanthemum Douluo’s blades wounded its leg.
• Bibi Dong pierced the White Tiger’s wounds and used venomous spiders and sword attacks, but the White Tiger broke free and struck the ground with its paw.
• Sea Soul Masters spotted the enormous Black Tortoise approaching Sea God Island from the north.

Bo Saixi and the Sea God Island Soul Masters confronted the colossal Black Tortoise as it rose from the sea near the island. The heavenly screen then announced a supplementary ranking that would reveal the ten great Soul Beasts’ weaknesses.

• Bo Saixi sensed the approaching Black Tortoise, ordered the Sacred Pillar Guardians to the northern shore, and sounded Sea God Island’s highest-level alarm.
• Tang San and the Shrek group reached the shore and saw that the Black Tortoise was nearly as large as Sea God Island.
• Bo Saixi calmed a wave threatening the island and warned the Soul Masters not to attack the Black Tortoise unless it showed hostile intent.
• The Black Tortoise stopped in the deep water, and it and the Sea God Island defenders watched each other across the sea.
• The heavenly screen announced that the ten great Soul Beasts’ ranking was complete and that a supplementary ranking would cover their weaknesses.

The sky screen delayed the weakness rankings to reveal that the Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise shared a special bond and could fuse into power beyond God Level. The revelation stunned the continent and halted the battle at White Tiger Canyon, leaving the weakness rankings still to come.

• Soul Masters and major forces across the continent anticipated that the sky screen would reveal the ten great Soul Beasts’ weaknesses and considered how to exploit them.
• The sky screen announced that it would first reveal the top four beasts’ special attributes and connections, then showed the Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise together.
• The sky screen explained that the four beasts’ complementary powers and resonant bloodlines allowed them to activate the Four Holy Beasts Bond and fuse beyond God Level.
• Soul Masters across the continent reacted with shock and understood that the four beasts’ bond accounted for their ranking above the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King.
• At White Tiger Canyon, Bibi Dong and the Spirit Hall experts stopped fighting and stared at the sky screen while the injured White Tiger remained before them.

After learning the Four Holy Beasts could fuse into a being stronger than a god, Spirit Hall continued attacking the injured White Tiger while other factions weighed how to stop Spirit Hall from claiming all four beasts. The beasts remained scattered across the continent as the empires and sects began moving to secure them or monitor their rivals.

• Bibi Dong ordered Spirit Hall to keep attacking the injured White Tiger, determined to kill it before other factions arrived.
• Ning Fengzhi decided the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect should head toward the Vermilion Bird rather than let Spirit Hall claim every beast.
• Yu Yuanzhen sent scouts to locate the Azure Dragon and ordered his clan not to attack without his command.
• Xue Ye ordered the Heaven Dou Empire to watch Spirit Hall and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, while the Star Luo emperor sought cooperation with Heaven Dou to keep Spirit Hall from taking all four beasts.
• Bo Saixi and the Sea God Island Soul Masters watched the Black Tortoise warily, while Tang San recognized that his group could not kill it with their current strength.

After learning that the Four Holy Beasts’ fusion could surpass God Level, Qian Daoliu sent the Worship Hall’s Enshrined to hunt them and planned to claim the White Tiger for Qian Renxue. The Heavenly Screen then revealed that their Soul Rings could replace existing ones and that collecting all four might grant power beyond God Level, spurring the Clear Sky Sect to act.

• Qian Daoliu ordered the Worship Hall’s Enshrined to hunt the Four Holy Beasts, leaving Jiang Mo to guard the hall.
• Qian Daoliu set out for Heaven Dou City and then White Tiger Canyon, intending to keep the White Tiger’s Soul Ring from Bibi Dong and give it to Qian Renxue.
• Tang Xiao and the five elders prepared to leave the Clear Sky Sect to capture a Soul Beast, though they worried about absorbing a two-hundred-thousand-year Soul Ring.
• The Heavenly Screen announced that any Soul Master could absorb a Four Holy Beast Soul Ring without an empty slot by replacing an existing one.
• The Heavenly Screen revealed that a Soul Master who gathered all four Four Holy Beast Soul Rings could recreate their fusion power and might surpass God Level.

The revelation that the Four Holy Beasts' Soul Rings could replace existing rings sent Soul Masters rushing to claim them, though the danger of absorbing their power remained. Qian Daoliu, Bibi Dong, Ning Fengzhi, and Yu Yuanzhen redirected their forces toward the beasts, setting off a race for the Azure Dragon, White Tiger, and Vermilion Bird.

• The Heavenly Screen revealed that existing Soul Rings could be replaced, but warned that the Four Holy Beasts' immense power could kill absorbers who lacked sufficient strength.
• Qian Daoliu abandoned his plan to go to Heaven Dou City and flew toward White Tiger Canyon while the other enshrined departed on the original plan.
• Bibi Dong ordered Spirit Hall's forces to attack the White Tiger with everything they had, unaware that Qian Daoliu and two enshrined were approaching.
• Ning Fengzhi decided the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect could not let Spirit Hall monopolize the beasts and sent his group toward the Vermilion Bird.
• Unaffiliated Soul Masters and the two empires' forces rushed into the Qingchuan Mountain Range, while Yu Yuanzhen led the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan upstream to find the Azure Dragon.

Soul Masters across the continent rushed toward the Four Holy Beasts, with most choosing the more accessible Azure Dragon in the Qingchuan Mountain Range. Meanwhile, powerful factions converged on the other beasts, and Ye Yao's Vermilion Bird avatar faced an approaching group of top experts at Crimson Flame Volcano.

• Countless Soul Masters set out for the Four Holy Beasts, while Spirit Hall's blockade, the volcano, and Sea God Island made three targets difficult to reach and drew most travelers toward the Azure Dragon.
• Qian Daoliu raced toward White Tiger Canyon to stop Bibi Dong from claiming the White Tiger's Soul Ring, with Qian Jun Douluo and Mighty Lion Douluo following behind.
• Golden Crocodile Douluo led a Worship Hall team toward the Qingchuan Mountain Range, planning to arrive after the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan had engaged the Azure Dragon.
• Azure Luan Douluo and Light Feather Douluo headed to Crimson Flame Volcano to locate the Vermilion Bird, wary of its strength.
• Tang Xiao led the Clear Sky Sect's six Titled Douluos and its elite disciples toward Crimson Flame Volcano, hoping to prevent Spirit Hall from claiming all four Soul Rings.
• The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was already near Crimson Flame Volcano as Azure Luan Douluo and Light Feather Douluo approached, bringing Ye Yao's Vermilion Bird avatar closer to a clash with powerful experts.
