Chapter Summaries

Ah Yin continued refining the Golden Tree Origin while Sea God Tang San fought Huanlong, the Great Lord of Annihilation, to protect her and Douluo Star. Tang San’s connection to his God Realm main body remained severed, leaving him to face the battle without replenishment as Huanlong prepared to unleash her ultimate art of destruction.

• Huanlong formed a net of destructive flame beams, and Tang San struck its energy nodes with his Sea God’s Trident to break through.
• Tang San realized his link to his God Realm main body had been severed, while Huanlong mocked his righteousness and promised to display her ultimate art of destruction.

Tang San fought Huanlong inside the Golden Tree, expelling her corrupting Seed of Delusion before unleashing his ultimate halberd strike. Their clash erupted beyond the tree and shook Sea God Island, leaving both the academy faction and the soul beast army alarmed and wondering about Ditian’s continued imprisonment.

• Huanlong attacked Tang San with destructive thorns and petals, but he slowed them with Unfixed Wind Waves and defended himself with a divine shield.

• Huanlong drew vitality from the Sea of Life, transformed into her true form, and countered with Myriad Phenomena Annihilation; their attacks collided inside the Golden Tree.
• The collision shattered space and sent a massive energy pillar into the sky, violently shaking Sea God Island and making Yan Shaozhe and the others fear for the Golden Tree.
• The Sea God Pavilion elders questioned why Ditian remained sealed, while Bi Ji and the soul beast army realized the battle inside the Golden Tree involved power beyond their own.

Huanlong defeated Tang San's Divine Sense Clone and began corrupting the Ancient Golden Tree, turning its life energy into destruction. As the tree darkened, a destructive halo spread across Sea God Island and began erasing its inhabitants.

• Tang San's golden strike was swallowed by Huanlong's Seed of Destruction, which then annihilated his Divine Sense Clone.
• Huanlong restrained Ah Yin, whose interrupted refinement left her divine sense weak and near collapse.
• Huanlong began corrupting the Golden Tree's origin and converting its Life Energy into Power of Annihilation.

• A destructive halo spread from the Golden Tree and dissolved the surviving people on Sea God Island into black dust.

Huanlong annihilated Shrek Academy and most of Shrek City, then forged a colossal Star of Destruction to finish off the survivors. As it descended, Yan Shaozhe flew toward it in a desperate final gamble, drawing Huanlong’s attention.

• The destruction halo shattered Shrek Academy’s defensive array and erased Wang Yan, Zhou Yi, the remaining teachers, and the academy grounds.

• As the star descended, Yan Shaozhe called out to Shi Xing, transformed into a Bright Phoenix, and charged toward it while Cai Meier and the others watched in horror.
• Huanlong noticed Yan Shaozhe’s charge and watched him with amusement.

Yan Shaozhe’s self-sacrifice barely slowed Huanlong’s Star of Destruction, and Cai Meier and several Shrek powerhouses followed him in a desperate charge. Shi Xing teleported the inner court disciples to safety, then joined the others as their Soul Cores detonated against the descending star.

• Yan Shaozhe destroyed his Soul Core in a final attack that cracked the Star of Destruction but failed to stop it.
• Cai Meier understood Yan Shaozhe’s final message and sacrificed herself by charging the star.

• Bi Ji’s healing domain failed against the destruction, while Myriad Demon King, Bear Lord, Scarlet King, and Zi Ji were all badly wounded.

Gu Yuena broke Huanlong’s seal and arrived as the Silver Dragon King, stopping her from killing the surviving soul beasts. She evacuated the remnants while Huanlong vanished, leaving Shrek City erased and arriving reinforcements to face the devastation.

• Huanlong prepared to destroy the surviving fierce beasts and soul beasts after her attack had annihilated Shrek City and most of the beast tide.
• Gu Yuena shattered Huanlong’s seal at the Lake of Life, reached the battlefield, and clashed with Huanlong’s destructive power.
• Gu Yuena ordered the surviving soul beasts to retreat and carried Di Tian, Bi Ji, Bear Lord, Myriad Demon King, and other wounded fierce beasts toward the Star Dou Great Forest.
• Huanlong let the soul beasts escape, reflected on Shrek City’s destruction, and disappeared into the void as Gu Yuena vowed revenge.
• Song Ying and other reinforcements arrived above the vanished Shrek City and saw the enormous abyssal crater in its place.

Star Luo, Heaven Dou, and Dou Ling reinforcements arrived to find Shrek City erased and a vast abyss surrounded by human and Soul Beast remains. As the Titled Douluo confirmed that the Beast Tide had caused devastating losses on both sides, they privately reckoned with relief that Shrek’s long-standing power over the empires had vanished.

• Sky Eagle Douluo and the other Star Luo Titled Douluo arrived and found no trace of Shrek City or the Beast Tide.
• Sky Sun Douluo and the Heaven Dou and Dou Ling experts reached the ruins and asked Sky Eagle Douluo what had happened.
• Sky Eagle Douluo told them that Shrek City had disappeared, and the Titled Douluo inspected the abyss and the scorched remains.
• Sky Sun Douluo concluded that the Soul Beast army had suffered losses at least as grievous as the human side.
• Sky Eagle Douluo and the other imperial experts privately felt relief that Shrek’s influence had ended, then confirmed that the city and the Ancient Golden Tree were gone.

Titled Douluo from the three empires investigated the destruction of Shrek City and struggled to explain its disappearance. Heavenly Fiend Douluo Huang Jinxu privately suspected a controlled meteor had erased the city, and the chapter ended as Shrek survivors arrived and saw the abyss where their home had stood.

• The Titled Douluo concluded that Shrek City had been completely erased and found signs of fleeing Soul Beasts and their dead.
• Sky Sun Douluo reasoned that Shrek Academy had evacuated civilians and might have surviving core members, while Sky Eagle Douluo sensed an unfamiliar force of destruction.
• Heavenly Fiend Douluo Huang Jinxu learned that Shrek survivors were approaching and secretly recognized stellar power suggesting a meteor had destroyed the city.
• The Star Luo Empire's legion escorted Wu Ming, Chu Qingtian, Hua Yao, Mo Xuan, Ye Liu, and other inner court disciples to the ruins.
• Wu Ming and the other survivors saw the abyss where Shrek City had stood and collapsed in shock and grief.

Wu Ming and the surviving Shrek disciples told the three empires’ Titled Douluo how Shrek City was destroyed, including the Beast Tide, the deaths of the academy’s leaders, and a mysterious figure’s attack with a falling star. The empires ordered urgent reports and prepared for war as the survivors’ account threatened to shatter the fragile peace between humans and soul beasts.

• Sky Eagle Douluo and the other Titled Douluo gathered around Wu Ming and the surviving disciples at the abyss where Shrek City had stood.
• Chu Qingtian urged Wu Ming and the others to endure their grief and honor the sacrifices of City Lord Shi Xing and Shrek’s leaders.
• Wu Ming recounted the Beast Tide, Di Tian’s freezing, the clash inside the Golden Tree, the leaders’ self-destruction, and Shi Xing’s final teleportation of the disciples.
• Wu Ming identified a mysterious demon-like figure as the one who summoned the star that destroyed Shrek City, though she could not explain who the figure was or where she came from.
• Sky Eagle Douluo warned that the truth remained uncertain but recognized that Shrek’s fall would make a human counterattack against soul beasts politically inevitable.
• Sky Eagle Douluo ordered the Star Luo Empire to prepare for war, while representatives of the Heaven Soul and Dou Ling Empires sent urgent reports and declared emergency readiness.

After Shrek City’s destruction, the three empires turned toward identifying the force behind the disaster and protecting themselves. Xu Jiawei learned that Mingdu had fallen to the Antimatter Legion and ordered Star Luo forces to the Star Dou Great Forest, leaving open the possibility of a joint campaign against its Soul Beasts.

• Sky Eagle Douluo offered to take Wu Ming, Chu Qingtian, and the surviving Shrek disciples to Star Luo City for safety and questioning, and they agreed to leave the ruins.
• Xu Jiawei received news that Shrek City had fallen and ordered that the surviving inner courtyard disciples be brought to Star Luo City and protected.
• Xu Jiawei learned through Xu Jiujiu that the Antimatter Legion had captured Mingdu and that Lu Jingming had sent her, Ye Guyi, and others to Haiyuan City.
• Xu Jiawei ordered two border army groups and the Royal Fifth and Sixth Soul Master Legions to establish defensive positions near the Star Dou Great Forest.
• Xu Jiawei concluded that the Soul Beasts had likely been manipulated by the Great Lord of Annihilation and said the three empires might unite to purge the forest if its beasts remained hostile.

Xu Jiawei recognized that humanity’s new independence from soul beasts had made their extermination a military option, while the three great empires prepared to encircle the Star Dou Great Forest. At the Lake of Life, Di Tian begged Gu Yuena for death over the Beast Tide’s casualties, but the Brand of Destruction Huanlong had implanted in him threatened to corrupt him further as human forces closed in.

• Xu Jiawei studied the military map and concluded that the destruction of Shrek City, the battle in Mingdu, and the Beast Tide heralded a continent-wide upheaval.
• The chapter explained that humanity’s military advantages and hatred of soul beasts could drive the three great empires to launch an extermination campaign, while they remained unaware of Gu Yuena’s existence.
• Di Tian knelt before Gu Yuena, confessed his responsibility for the Beast Tide’s deaths, and begged her to grant him death.
• Di Tian struggled against Huanlong’s Brand of Destruction, fearing he would become a corrupted weapon against his own people.
• Myriad Demon King reported that the three empires had surrounded the Star Dou Great Forest with troops and cannons aimed at its core, and Bear Lord angrily condemned humanity.

Gu Yuena restrained the soul beasts from launching an immediate war and prepared to leave for the Sun Moon Empire to help Lu Jingming and seek a way to resolve the conflict. Meanwhile, above Mingdu, Xing Xiao and Huanlong watched Fei Xiao emerge alive from the abyssal rift.

• Bear Lord demanded permission to lead the Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear clan against the humans, but Gu Yuena’s bloodline pressure forced him to kneel.
• Gu Yuena ordered the soul beasts to retreat to the Star Dou Great Forest’s core, forbade them from starting a war, and gave Di Tian Origin Power to suppress his Brand of Destruction.
• Di Tian vowed to end his own life if destruction consumed him, while Bear Lord and Myriad Demon King accepted Gu Yuena’s defense orders.
• Gu Yuena decided to travel to the Sun Moon Empire to aid Lu Jingming, help avert war, and investigate whether he could suppress Di Tian’s Brand of Destruction.
• Xing Xiao spotted Fei Xiao charging out of an abyssal rift, and Huanlong appeared to tell her that the Xianzhou Alliance general had not been easily killed.

Huanlong took the Golden Tree’s power and gained a true body integrated with Douluo Plane’s rules, but Xing Xiao abandoned their plan to seize the Plane Will after realizing The Great Black Tower was an unusually real and dangerous presence. Huanlong left to confront the genius, while Xing Xiao expected her to face a setback.

• Huanlong told Xing Xiao that she could sense the Plane Origin and proposed helping Xing Xiao replace the Plane Will and claim Douluo Plane’s sovereignty.
• Xing Xiao refused the original plan, explaining that The Great Black Tower was neither a Servant nor a projection and was likely present in her true body.
• Huanlong realized The Great Black Tower had allowed her to seize the Golden Tree and took that restraint as an insult.
• Huanlong’s Life Energy and destruction aura surged as she left Xing Xiao’s observation domain to act against The Great Black Tower.
• Xing Xiao stayed behind, unconcerned by Huanlong’s choice and anticipating that The Great Black Tower had contingencies capable of giving her a setback.

Huanlong entered Douluo Star’s Inner Sea of Stars to corrupt its Plane Will, but found Black Tower waiting to stop her. After exposing Huanlong’s feigned fury, Black Tower silently erased her probing mental thread, leaving Huanlong facing an opponent whose defenses she could not perceive.

• Huanlong followed the Golden Tree’s resonance into the Inner Sea of Stars and found Douluo Star’s Plane Will at its center.
• Huanlong began harmonizing her Destruction aura with the life energy, intending to corrupt the sacred domain.
• Black Tower appeared on a throne formed from the sea’s light and warned Huanlong to leave the Plane Will alone.
• Huanlong feigned rage and attacked the space, but Black Tower saw through her act and Huanlong let the outburst subside.
• Huanlong questioned whether the Inner Sea of Stars was a trap and sent a mental probe toward Black Tower, which vanished along with the will attached to it.

The Great Black Tower summoned Acheron, an Envoy of Nihility, to confront Huanlong after predicting she would find the Inner Sea of Stars. Acheron demonstrated that she could erase Huanlong’s power and block her from the Plane Will, leaving Huanlong facing a deadly threat but unwilling to retreat without testing Acheron.

• The Great Black Tower dismissed Huanlong’s accusations and said Lu Jingming had predicted her arrival and prepared a surprise.
• The Great Black Tower tapped her throne’s armrest and opened an anchor point of reality from which Acheron emerged.
• The Great Black Tower introduced Acheron as a contradictory Envoy of Nihility, and Huanlong recognized her as a threat capable of killing her.
• Huanlong tried to negotiate a truce, but Acheron created a Void Boundary that severed Huanlong’s access to the Plane Will and erased her protective energy.
• Huanlong weighed retreat against her pride and decided she had to test Acheron’s strength and the limits of her power.

Acheron revealed the full power of her Nihility and defeated Huanlong with a single slash, forcing the Great Lord of Annihilation to flee. The Great Black Tower recognized the victory’s value for her Simulated Universe project, while the Plane Will feared Acheron even more than Huanlong.

• Huanlong attacked the Inner Sea of Stars to force Acheron to reveal her power, but Acheron silently erased the destructive torrent.
• Acheron opened her Nihility domain and struck Huanlong, erasing part of her existence and gravely wounding her.
• Huanlong detonated parts of her Golden Tree body and escaped through a spatial rift, vowing to remember The Great Black Tower and Acheron.
• Acheron sheathed Naught and called the encounter another blood debt as the Inner Sea of Stars returned to calm.
• The Great Black Tower assessed Acheron's overwhelming victory and recognized its value for the Simulated Universe project.
• The Great Black Tower sensed that the Plane Will feared Acheron's Nihility more than Huanlong's destruction.

After Huanlong fled her disastrous clash with The Great Black Tower and Acheron, The Great Black Tower left Acheron a peach before both departed the Inner Sea of Stars. Huanlong returned to Xing Xiao badly wounded, and the two discussed her defeat and their next plans.

• The Great Black Tower gave Acheron a peach from Lu Jingming, and Acheron thanked her as the fruit brought a glimmer of life to her eyes.
• The Great Black Tower vanished after telling Acheron to report that she had handled the problem and that Lu Jingming owed her double the lab supplies.
• Acheron watched the frightened Plane Will, murmured that only forgetting was eternal annihilation, and disappeared from the Inner Sea of Stars.
• Huanlong crashed into Xing Xiao's pocket dimension, gravely injured by the power of Nihility, and admitted that she had been careless.
• Xing Xiao assessed Huanlong's wounds and said she had expected the ambush but not such a catastrophic defeat.
• Huanlong said The Great Black Tower had not attacked her directly and expressed growing interest in her and the mastermind behind her, while Xing Xiao asked how long Huanlong needed to recover.

Huanlong recovered from her wounds and fled as Fei Xiao broke into Xing Xiao's hiding place. Xing Xiao summoned four Destruction-empowered Soul Engineers to surround Fei Xiao, who welcomed the challenge and prepared to fight them all.

• Huanlong purged most of the Nihility corrosion and began rapidly healing with the Golden Tree body's Life Force.
• Fei Xiao's battle axe burst through space and struck at Xing Xiao, who stopped it with a finger charged with Destruction energy.
• Fei Xiao tore through the spatial barrier, confronted Xing Xiao, and announced she had come to return the favor for the earlier ambush.
• Xing Xiao's Harmony field linked and empowered Luanfeng, Wang Yiheng, Liao Mengkai, and Xia Xuanchen, raising them toward demigod-level power.
• Fei Xiao faced the four Soul Engineers without fear and readied herself for a fight.

Fei Xiao fought Xing Xiao’s four demigods, but the battle broke their pocket dimension and exposed them to the Douluo Plane’s suppressive force. As Fei Xiao continued battling under the Plane’s rejection, Lu Jingming saw Tang San’s divine consciousness emerge and prepared to face him with Raiden Makoto.

• Fei Xiao fought off Xia Xuanchen, Luanfeng, Wang Yiheng, and Liao Mengkai while Xing Xiao prepared to intervene.
• The pocket dimension shattered, dropping the fighters above the ruins of Mingdu, where the Douluo Plane suppressed Xing Xiao and Fei Xiao.
• Fei Xiao wielded a heavy axe and spear blade to overpower the four demigods despite the Plane’s suppression and incoming heavenly thunder.
• Lu Jingming watched the battle from the ruins and said the conflict in Mingdu was nearing its end.
• Tang San’s hidden divine consciousness emerged from Tang Wutong, and Lu Jingming called Raiden Makoto to face him.
