• The Snow Empress emerged from the purple egg, and Shui Bing’er dressed her after hearing her call Yu Tianshuang master.

Meanwhile, Yu Tianshuang and Shui Bing'er kissed and were intimate on the Ice Phoenix before landing near the Ice and Snow Divine Hall.

• Ning Fengzhi urged Xue Beng to reinforce Spirit Hall against the Evil Soul Masters, but Xue Beng favored using the Heaven Dou Empire’s army to exploit the conflict between Spirit Hall and the Star Luo Empire.

• The Star Luo Empire commander ordered four hundred thousand soldiers to attack Spirit Hall’s camp after his army had lost nearly a hundred thousand men to the Angel Legion.

As Spirit Hall launched attacks on both the Star Luo Empire and the Balak Kingdom, the chapter ended with Yu Tianshuang’s companions reacting to the slaughter and Shui Bing'er climbing onto his back to taunt Qian Renxue.

Yu Tianshuang and Shui Bing'er suspected the Holy Spirit Cult was manipulating the Star Luo Empire's army, but the cult attacked before they could act. As black monsters battered the ice wall and divine power failed to purify the soldiers, Ye Lingling agreed to try to save them despite the death Qi overwhelming her.

• Qian Renxue befriended Huo Wu by praising her and criticizing Shui Bing'er, but avoided meeting Hu Liena.
• Yu Tianshuang and Shui Bing'er concluded they should go to the Star Luo Empire's capital themselves because the Holy Spirit Cult might intercept anyone sent for information.

• Yu Tianshuang carried Ye Lingling toward the battlefield, and she agreed to attempt purification despite the death Qi making her feel ill.

Yu Tianshuang and the others found that Ye Lingling’s life Soul Power worsened the corrupted soldiers’ condition, leaving them to consider killing the transformed army. Qian Renxue asked for time to seek Qian Daoliu’s help, and Yu Tianshuang agreed to hold the monsters back while she went.

• Yu Tianshuang, Shui Bing'er, and Qian Renxue considered attacking the monsters, while Ling Yuan Douluo arrived to ask what they should do.

Qian Daoliu identified the Holy Spirit Cult’s monsters and soulless puppets, and Bibi Dong reached the besieged defenders before asking where Yu Tianshuang was.

• Bai He reported to Xue Beng that Spirit Hall’s branches in the Silves Kingdom had emptied, and Tai Tan urged an alliance with the Star Luo Empire; Xue Beng said the Blue Dragon King had already gone there.
• Qian Renxue returned to Spirit City and interrupted Bibi Dong’s declaration founding the Spirit Hall Empire and appointing Hu Liena commander of its armies.
• Bibi Dong slapped Qian Renxue when she mocked her concern for Hu Liena, then learned from Qian Renxue that Hu Liena was safe and flew toward the Star Luo border.
• Qian Daoliu told Qian Renxue that the Holy Spirit Cult’s Mammon were created from living people’s blood Qi and souls, while the death-shrouded Soul Masters were irredeemable puppets.
• Bibi Dong reached the ice-walled battlefield, confirmed Hu Liena and the other defenders were unharmed, heard Hu Liena’s account, and asked where Yu Tianshuang was.

Yu Tianshuang and the others discussed the Mammon threat with Bibi Dong, who had become empress, while waiting for Qian Renxue to seek help. Qian Renxue returned with confirmation that the Mammon were people whose souls had been extracted, leaving the group to face the need to destroy them and find their source.

• Yu Tianshuang, Shui Bing'er, and Ye Lingling met Bibi Dong, who revealed she had moved against the Heaven Dou Empire and become empress.
• Shui Bing'er recognized that Ye Lingling was instinctively wary of Bibi Dong, while Bibi Dong explained that Mammon could no longer be restored to human beings.
• Bibi Dong said the Mammon had to be eliminated and their source destroyed, but Yu Tianshuang chose to wait for Qian Renxue to return before acting.
• Bibi Dong sensed Qian Renxue approaching and departed before she arrived.
• Qian Renxue returned and told Yu Tianshuang and the others that Qian Daoliu could not help: the Mammon's souls had been drawn out through an Evil Soul Master secret technique.

As the Holy Spirit Cult’s monsters gathered outside the camp, Yu Tianshuang and the others prepared a battle plan while Qian Renxue and Huo Wu encouraged each other. Hu Liena arranged the troops, and the group readied themselves to open a narrow gap in the ice wall and fight.

• Hu Liena assigned the sects to a rotating diamond formation, and Shui Bing'er and Qian Renxue approved of her arrangements.
• Qian Renxue declared that the Holy Spirit Cult would face judgment and vowed to wipe it out.

The Spirit Hall forces fought the Mammon pouring through the ice wall and discovered that the monsters could regenerate from scattered flesh unless it was thoroughly destroyed. As the battle continued, the Star Luo emperor used a deathly black bead to empower his clansmen, while Qian Renxue returned to camp to recover.

• A black-robed leader watched the battle beside the Star Luo Empire’s mound of corpses, where the slaughtered army’s bodies had disappeared.
• The Star Luo emperor released deathly Qi from a black bead, and his clansmen absorbed it and felt immense power.
• Hu Liena ordered Huo Wu to burn the Mammon’s regenerating remains, while Qian Renxue and Yu Tianshuang’s allies used sacred fire, Life Soul Power, and pulverizing ice to prevent the monsters from reforming.
• Ye Lingling discovered that her healing Soul Skill destroyed the Mammon, and Yu Hairou encouraged her to attack instead of heal.
• After nearly four hours of fighting, Yu Tianshuang gave Qian Renxue Ice Emperor Armor, and she flew back to camp to recover her Soul Power.
• Yu Tianshuang and Shui Bing’er noted that the Mammon could reform from ice fragments larger than a fingernail.

After six hours of fighting, Yu Tianshuang’s group had killed only about five thousand of the Mammon, leaving the army’s defenses and their own dwindling strength a serious concern. Ye Lingling proposed that Yu Tianshuang and the strongest fighters go ahead to attack Star Luo City while Hu Liena’s group continued holding the battlefield, and he decided to discuss the plan with Senior Sister the next day.

• Yu Tianshuang sealed the ice wall again and concluded that he could not destroy all the Mammon in a single attack.

• Ye Lingling suggested that Yu Tianshuang and the strongest fighters head for Star Luo City while the others continued fighting the Mammon.
• Yu Tianshuang agreed to discuss the plan with Senior Sister the next day, then carried Ye Lingling away for the night.

Yu Tianshuang, Shui Bing'er, and Ling Yuan Douluo flew to Star Luo City to investigate the Holy Spirit Cult, while Qian Renxue was left behind and Huo Wu stayed to guard the camp.

• Yu Tianshuang and Shui Bing'er planned to scout Star Luo City as a fast-moving vanguard, with Chrysanthemum and Ghost hidden nearby to support them.

• Yu Tianshuang pulled Ling Yuan Douluo back, and he and Shui Bing'er retreated after testing their opponents’ strength.

• Ye Yuxuan revealed that she and Zhong Meng had grown stronger and that her followers were genuine Titled Douluo, then used the Blood Plum Gu to make the emperor collapse in pain.
• Yu Tianshuang accepted Ye Yuxuan’s offer to trade the emperor for Dai Weisi and Zhu Zhuyun, and the group left Star Luo City safely.
• Shui Bing’er concluded that the Holy Spirit Cult had let them go to avoid provoking the Worship Hall while it built up its strength, and Ye Yuxuan agreed that time mattered more than risking a fight.
