Arc 5The Scarlet King's Sacrifice
Qian Chen helped Huo Yuhao gain the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion Martial Soul, then strengthened his companions with treasures from the Far North. While seeking a Soul Ring for Zhang Lexuan, he became entangled in a battle over the Three-Eyed Golden Lion and helped Zhang Lexuan form a Soul Spirit Contract with the Scarlet King.
- Qian Chen defended Ning Tian, concealed their relationship from Wang Dong, and began studying Soul Tool fabrication with He Caitou.
- After Wang Dong returned to class, Huo Yuhao reached rank twenty, and Qian Chen took him to the Far North to seek the Ice Empress.
- Qian Chen battled the Ice Empress, who chose to sacrifice herself to him, while Dali became Huo Yuhao’s Second Martial Soul and granted him a Soul Bone.
- Qian Chen gave the Ice Empress and Dali’s remains to Ling Luochеn and the Ice Empress’s Torso Soul Bone to Bing Ling, causing their Martial Souls to evolve into Ultimate Ice.
- Qian Chen gave Zhang Lexuan the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm’s shed husk, and she broke through to Titled Douluo before they set out for the Star Dou Great Forest.
- The Three-Eyed Golden Lion and Scarlet King attacked Qian Chen and Zhang Lexuan, but Qian Chen wounded the Scarlet King and accepted the Moon Shadow Demon Dragon in exchange for sparing it.
- Holy Spirit Cult Enshrined attacked the Scarlet King, and Qian Chen and Zhang Lexuan escaped with it into Electrolux’s Undead Demiplane before Di Tian defeated the pursuers.
- Zhang Lexuan accepted the Scarlet King’s Soul Ring and Soul Bone, and Electrolux instead arranged a Soul Spirit Contract that strengthened her Sea of Consciousness and upgraded her Seventh and Eighth Soul Rings.
