Zhigeniao discovered that Shangguan Wei'er’s Seed of Destruction was not planted by Xing Xiao, and The Great Black Tower traced it to Huanlong, revealing that two Great Lords of Annihilation were involved in Mingdu. The chapter ended with The Great Black Tower reflecting on her desire to explore unknown universes beyond the limits set by Lord of Wisdom.

• San Yueqi and Zhigeniao helped receive and comfort refugees evacuated from Mingdu in Haiyuan City.
• Ye Guyi brought Shangguan Wei'er to Zhigeniao, who tried to soothe the destructive force consuming her mind but found it resisted Harmony.
• Zhigeniao determined that Shangguan Wei'er’s corruption contained pure Destruction and a sinister spiritual residue, with no trace of Xing Xiao’s Harmony.
• The Great Black Tower scanned Shangguan Wei'er and identified Huanlong as the likely source of the corruption, linked to Xu Tianran’s summoned servant.
• The Great Black Tower revealed that two Great Lords of Annihilation had appeared in the Holy Grail War, frightening San Yueqi.
• The Great Black Tower considered how Lord of Wisdom had left almost no unknowns to explore in her original universe.

The Great Black Tower and Zhigeniao could only stabilize Shangguan Wei'er, whose soul had been deeply corrupted by Huanlong's power, and placed their hopes in Lu Jingming finding a cure. On the Mingdu battlefield, Lu Jingming learned Huanlong was the culprit and suspected she and Xing Xiao had secretly coordinated their plans.

• The Great Black Tower warned that Huanlong had likely stayed hidden to pursue a larger scheme while the battle raged in Mingdu.
• Ye Guyi asked whether Zhigeniao could save Shangguan Wei'er, whose Destruction-tainted consciousness was close to breaking free.
• Zhigeniao said she could reinforce Shangguan Wei'er's seal and delay her collapse but could not remove Huanlong's mark.
• The Great Black Tower judged that Shangguan Wei'er could survive for now and advised them to wait for Lu Jingming's return.
• Lu Jingming received Zhigeniao's message identifying Huanlong and looked toward the battle at the Mingdu Imperial Palace.
• Lu Jingming suspected Xing Xiao had known about Huanlong and that the two Envoys of Destruction had secretly agreed to cooperate.

Lu Jingming realized that the battle in Mingdu was likely a diversion while Huanlong targeted the Golden Tree and Douluo Star’s Plane Core. Recognizing the danger of the two Great Lords of Annihilation’s scheme, he stopped fighting the Titan Giant Ape and unleashed the holy lance’s Black Abyss White Flower: First Rated Output.

• Lu Jingming concluded that the Antimatter Legion’s war in Mingdu was likely meant to distract the continent’s strongest forces while Huanlong pursued a hidden objective.
• Lu Jingming identified the Golden Tree, the manifestation of the world’s life and Plane Core, as Huanlong’s likely target for escaping the Holy Grail’s restrictions.
• Lu Jingming realized that Huanlong and Xing Xiao could use the Golden Tree and the destruction of Douluo Star to grow powerful enough to threaten the universe.
• Lu Jingming decided he could no longer waste time fighting the Titan Giant Ape and prepared to kill him with his fused holy lance.
• Lu Jingming invoked Black Abyss White Flower: First Rated Output, and its black light began erasing everything in its path.

Lu Jingming killed Er Ming and secured the Titan Giant Ape’s hundred-thousand-year soul ring and soul bone, provoking Niu Tian’s fury and Tang Wutong’s grief. As Tang Wutong’s divine aura awakened, Wang Qiuer accused her father Tang San of manipulating fate, and the others prepared for a greater battle.

• Lu Jingming used the First Rated Power to kill Er Ming, then collected the Titan Giant Ape’s soul ring and soul bone.
• Niu Tian sensed Er Ming’s death and roared in grief, while Tang Wutong saw the corpse and demanded to know why her group was being attacked.
• Wang Qiuer told Tang Wutong that Tang San had written their tragic fate by violating the God Realm’s laws and manipulating the lower realms.
• Tang Wutong rejected Wang Qiuer’s accusations, but her doubts and emotional turmoil caused the Golden Sea God’s Trident Mark to appear and her divine aura to surge.
• Lu Jingming warned Istaroth to target Tang Wutong’s divine sense mark, while Istaroth suggested the White-Haired Woman might be better suited to slay Gods.

In Mingdu, Cú Chulainn and Artoria continued battling Xiao Wu as her divine power weakened and grief left her momentarily stunned. Lu Jingming discovered that Huanlong had manipulated Di Tian to unleash a massive Beast Tide against Shrek City, while Gu Yuena awoke trapped inside a Starfire Seal and began dismantling it.

• Artoria repeatedly struck Xiao Wu with Excalibur, but her divine barrier withstood the attacks as her power and defenses gradually weakened.
• Xiao Wu sensed familiar divine presences and an unexplained loss, began crying, and briefly stopped fighting.
• Lu Jingming used The Great Black Tower's projection to see a huge Beast Tide advancing on Shrek City, including Scarlet King and Bear Lord.
• Gu Yue and Lu Jingming concluded that Huanlong had controlled Di Tian and launched the Beast Tide to provoke war between humans and Soul Beasts while pursuing the Golden Tree.
• Gu Yuena awoke in her sealed pocket dimension, discovered Huanlong had trapped her with Starfire Chains, and began weakening the seal's energy nodes.

Huanlong revealed that she had possessed Di Tian and manipulated him into launching a massive Beast Tide against Shrek City to drive humans and soul beasts into mutual destruction. Shrek’s defenders prepared for the assault as the organized horde approached, with Shi Xing realizing that ferocious beasts had joined the attack.

• Huanlong explained that she planned to use Di Tian’s body to provoke a devastating war and later remake him into a powerful Doomsday Beast.
• Di Tian struggled against Huanlong’s control and realized she had deceived Bi Ji into mobilizing the Star Dou Great Forest’s forces against Shrek City.
• Shi Xing detected the approaching Beast Tide, and Shrek City’s residents took shelter while soldiers and students prepared the city’s defenses.
• Shrek Academy sent emergency signals and requested aid from the Heaven Soul, Star Luo, and Dou Ling Empires, while reinforcing the city’s walls.
• Shi Xing saw the Beast Tide’s disciplined formations and sensed ferocious beasts among its leaders, leaving him fearing that Shrek City could not withstand the assault.

Shrek Academy mobilized its remaining forces to face a massive Beast Tide, and Yan Shaozhe flew out to seek an explanation from Beast God Ditian. The beasts were acting on a forged order from Huanlong, while the black dragon awaited Yan Shaozhe with hidden mockery.

• Shi Xing steadied the defenders with a speech as the Beast Tide approached Shrek City.
• Yan Shaozhe, Cai Meier, Xian Lin'er, the Sea God Pavilion elders, and inner academy disciples joined the city's defenses.
• Cai Meier reported that outside reinforcements were unavailable, leaving Shrek short of its strongest allies and high-level fighters.
• Yan Shaozhe chose to approach Beast God Ditian and ask why the Star Dou Great Forest had launched the attack.
• Bi Ji regretted the Beast Tide but obeyed what she believed was Gu Yuena's order, unaware that Huanlong had impersonated Ditian to deceive the soul beasts.
• Yan Shaozhe transformed into a Bright Phoenix and called for Ditian to meet him, while the black dragon watched with a mocking expression.

Yan Shaozhe tried to negotiate with Di Tian over the Beast Tide, but the Beast God rejected compromise and ordered an attack on Shrek City. Shrek’s defenders opened fire as more than a hundred thousand soul beasts charged, and the battle began.

• Yan Shaozhe asked Di Tian why he had broken the centuries-old treaty and launched the Beast Tide, but Di Tian dismissed his questions and said destroying Shrek had nothing to do with its people.
• Bi Ji grew suspicious of Di Tian’s callous behavior, while Xian Lin'er and the defenders rallied around Shrek City and vowed to fight to the death.
• Di Tian threatened Yan Shaozhe and ordered him to leave; Yan returned to the wall and commanded the defenders to prepare the Soul-Guided Cannons.
• Di Tian ordered the soul beasts to attack, and more than a hundred thousand charged toward Shrek City.
• Seventy-two Soul-Guided Cannons blasted open a gap in the Beast Tide, but the surviving beasts pressed onward over their fallen companions.
• Qian Duoduo directed the soul master regiments to unleash area-of-effect attacks as the defenders poured fire into the advancing Beast Tide.

Shrek City’s defenders fought the Beast Tide as powerful ferocious beasts struck the walls and overwhelmed the battlefield with their abilities. Bi Ji reluctantly accepted that the soul beasts had to fight for survival, while Di Tian began gathering energy for a devastating attack.

• Yan Shaozhe, Xian Lin'er, Cai Meier, Elder Zhuang, and Elder Lin attacked the Beast Tide from Shrek’s southern wall.
• Bear Lord wounded Yan Shaozhe, Myriad Demon King attacked the defenders with giant roots, and Scarlet King and Zi Ji assaulted or countered Shrek City’s defenses.
• Bi Ji healed and strengthened the soul beasts, allowing wounded attackers to recover and return to the charge.
• Bi Ji recognized that humanity’s Soul Tools threatened the survival of the soul beast race, and she intensified her support despite her anguish.
• Di Tian tore open space with his claws and gathered dark energy, alarming the Titled Douluo below.

Di Tian’s dark dragon claw overwhelmed Yan Shaozhe, but he survived with Phoenix Nirvana as Shrek City faced destruction. Ningguang chose to delay the attack long enough for civilians and Qunyu Pavilion staff to evacuate, while Ganyu prepared a precise ranged strike.

• Di Tian’s dragon claw crushed Yan Shaozhe’s Bright Phoenix Martial Soul Avatar, but Yan Shaozhe revived through Phoenix Nirvana.
• Di Tian launched a stronger second attack, and Yan Shaozhe, Shi Xing, and Elder Lin rushed to meet it.
• Ganyu asked whether to help, and Ningguang told her to test the enemy with a ranged attack while warning that the figure in the clouds might not be the real Di Tian.
• Ningguang prioritized buying time for Shrek City’s civilians and Qunyu Pavilion staff to evacuate instead of withdrawing immediately.
• Ganyu condensed extreme cold into a frost-blue arrow and aimed it at the dragon claw in the clouds.

Ganyu fired a devastating frost arrow from Qunyu Pavilion, freezing Huanlong’s black dragon body and halting the Beast Tide’s advance. As Bi Ji tried to free Di Tian, Bear Lord exploited the distraction to attack Xian Lin'er, and Qian Duoduo’s defensive Soul Tool failed to stop his strike.

• Ganyu shot a compressed frost arrow at Huanlong, who used Dragon God Claw to meet it.
• The collision unleashed a vast blizzard that froze Huanlong’s dragon body, the surrounding clouds, and many soul beasts on the battlefield.
• Bi Ji urged the beasts to protect Di Tian and sent a pillar of Life Energy toward the frozen dragon.
• Bear Lord abandoned his fight with Cai Meier and launched Sky Rend Claw at the distracted Xian Lin'er.
• Qian Duoduo threw up his Space Protection Light to shield Xian Lin'er, but Bear Lord’s attack tore through it.

Qian Duoduo teleported in front of Xian Lin'er and used his Black Dragon Shield to block Bear Lord's Sky Rend Claw. As the shield shattered and the claw pierced Qian Duoduo, Myriad Demon King and Scarlet King launched attacks against the defenders.

• Qian Duoduo used a spatial Soul Tool to appear before Xian Lin'er and shield her with his Black Dragon Shield Avatar.
• Bear Lord's Sky Rend Claw cracked Qian Duoduo's shield and grievously injured him, while Xian Lin'er hurled her Azure Flame spear at Bear Lord.
• Myriad Demon King emerged from hiding and struck at Xian Lin'er's azure flame flood dragon.
• Scarlet King fired three streams of Hellfire toward the defenders on Shrek City's walls.
• Bear Lord unleashed a second Sky Rend Claw, shattering Qian Duoduo's shield and piercing his chest before the attack struck Shrek City's defensive barrier.

The Sky Rend Claw shattered Shrek City’s southern wall and killed Qian Duoduo, leaving Xian Lin'er consumed by grief and rage. Shi Xing used Time-Space Turbulence to annihilate the Soul Beasts rushing through the breach, but the exhausted City Lord was left under attack as the battle continued.

• Bear Lord’s Sky Rend Claw destroyed the city wall’s barrier and opened a breach, while its force fatally wounded Qian Duoduo.
• Xian Lin'er freed herself from the Myriad Demon King's vines and caught Qian Duoduo as he died in her arms.
• Cai Meier, Shi Xing, Yan Shaozhe, and the others mourned Qian Duoduo as hundreds of Soul Beasts charged through the breach.
• Shi Xing unleashed his eighth Soul Skill, Time-Space Turbulence, and swept the charging Soul Beasts into a vortex that annihilated them.
• The Myriad Demon King sent vines after the weakened Shi Xing while Scarlet King fired a Hellfire Pillar at the vortex, forcing Shi Xing to evade as he struggled to maintain it.

After Qian Duoduo’s death, Shrek’s fighters risked their lives against the ferocious beasts, while the beasts shifted to a cautious strategy to avoid Soul Core detonations. Unnoticed amid the fighting, Huanlong reached the Golden Tree on Sea God Island and revealed her true aim: to seize and corrupt it.

• Xian Lin'er, Yan Shaozhe, Shi Xing, Cai Meier, and the other Shrek fighters unleashed desperate attacks after Qian Duoduo died.
• Xian Lin'er burned her Life Force and Soul Origin to attack Bear Lord, while the other fighters also adopted life-risking tactics.
• Fearing the Super Douluo might detonate their Soul Cores, Bi Ji and the other ferocious beasts switched to defense, harassment, and attrition.
• Di Tian remained motionless inside the ice crystal created by Ganyu's arrow as the battle raged elsewhere.
• Huanlong crossed Shrek City unseen and arrived before the Golden Tree, intending to take and corrupt it as a new vessel.

Huanlong infiltrated the Ancient Golden Tree and discovered two powerful Divine Sense Clones, then approached them intending to devour their spiritual power. As Shrek City faced destruction, Ningguang questioned why Lu Jingming and Black Tower were allowing events to unfold, and Black Tower urged her to judge the crisis by their long-term strategy.

• Huanlong entered the Ancient Golden Tree and sensed two hidden Divine Sense Clones, one shielding the other as it absorbed the tree's Life Energy.
• Huanlong moved toward the Divine Sense Clones, expecting to devour them and restore her power before taking the Ancient Golden Tree.
• Little Black Tower told Ningguang and Ganyu to leave while Huanlong fought the two visitors inside the tree.
• Ningguang mourned the likely loss of Shrek City and asked Little Black Tower why she and Lu Jingming were not stopping Huanlong.
• Little Black Tower explained that Ningguang needed to consider Lu Jingming's long-term strategy for civilization and continental unification, and Ningguang understood.

Little Black Tower and Ningguang deduced that Lu Jingming had allowed the Antimatter Legion and the two Great Lords of Annihilation to become a shared existential threat, so the continent’s factions would unite under Haiyuan City. They left before Huanlong could notice them, with Ningguang now anticipating the new order Lu Jingming planned to build.

• Little Black Tower explained that a common enemy could unite the rival nations and races of Douluo Continent.
• Ningguang deduced that Lu Jingming had deliberately allowed Huanlong and Xing Xiao to strengthen the Antimatter Legion’s threat so the continent would rally behind him.
• Ningguang concluded that Lu Jingming might contain the Antimatter Legion rather than destroy it, keeping the danger alive to preserve unity under his rule.
• Little Black Tower began preparing to leave before Huanlong could notice them, and Ningguang followed her away from the ancient city.

Huanlong invaded the Golden Tree’s Sea of Life and attacked Sea God Tang San while Ah Yin refined the tree’s origin. Tang San fought back with the Sea of Life’s power, as their battle’s destructive force spread into Shrek Academy and left Sea God Island in panic.

• Ningguang, Ganyu, the Great Black Tower, and Qunyu Pavilion’s assembled staff were transported out of Shrek City by a burst of silver light.
• Huanlong manifested in the Sea of Life and hurled a Destruction Star at Sea God Tang San.
• Tang San ordered his mother, Ah Yin, to protect her Divine Sense origin and continue refining the Golden Tree, then commanded the Sea of Life to form a massive water dragon against Huanlong’s attack.
• Tang San questioned Huanlong’s origin, while Huanlong said she would bring him complete Finality and intensified her destructive assault.
• The battle’s shockwaves escaped the Golden Tree, making it tremble and spreading terrifying spiritual contamination across Sea God Island.
• Sea God Pavilion’s teachers, elders, and staff panicked as the Golden Tree’s light flickered between gold and purple-black.
