• Xiao Wu defeated the attackers while Wang Xingyu subdued the remaining Level 40 man and absorbed his Soul Force, discovering that a captured Martial Soul could be purified into energy.

• Li Ping'an said people believed her golden hair foretold she would become Spirit Hall Pope and king, prompting her enemies to try to eliminate her.

Wang Xingyu and Xiao Wu traveled into the Death Desert to search for Yue Shen’s inheritance, following a map to a settlement and then pressing deeper into the sands. After a group of Desert Cats asked Xiao Wu for help taking revenge on Soul Masters who had killed their companions, she prepared to handle the matter.

• Wang Xingyu and Xiao Wu parted from Li Ping'an and Li Yunzheng, who continued on to Shrek Academy, then set out for the Death Desert.

• Wang Xingyu discovered Xiao Wu had been holding the map upside down, and the two reached a settlement to refill their water and supplies.
• Wang Xingyu and Xiao Wu traveled through the desert at night after the temperature fell, then were surrounded by dozens of Desert Cats.
• Xiao Wu learned that the cats wanted revenge on Soul Masters who had killed more than twenty of their companions, and Wang Xingyu told Xiao Wu to handle the matter.

Wang Xingyu and Xiao Wu discovered Evil Soul Masters preparing to sacrifice captured Desert Cats and children, then attacked to rescue them. After the Soul King broke free of Wang Xingyu’s illusion, the pair revealed their six-ring Soul Power and challenged the surviving enemies.

• Xiao Wu carried a Desert Cat to an abandoned courtyard, where she and Wang Xingyu saw four Soul Masters, cages of Desert Cats and unconscious children, and a blood-filled cauldron.
• Xiao Wu and Wang Xingyu ambushed the group, killing a Soul Ancestor and a Soul Elder with the Godly Zhuge Crossbow.
• The Soul King grabbed a child and threatened to kill them, but Wang Xingyu’s Mental Interference let Xiao Wu rescue the child.
• The Soul King broke free of the illusion, blocked Xiao Wu’s bolts with a Soul Power shield, and drew a blood-colored blade; the remaining Soul Ancestor joined him.
• Wang Xingyu and Xiao Wu revealed six Soul Rings each, startling the enemies, and Wang Xingyu remarked that fighting dirty was necessary in the jianghu.

Wang Xingyu and Xiao Wu defeated the Soul Masters holding children captive, then followed Big Yellow to the pyramids believed to hold Yue Shen’s inheritance. Wang Xingyu realized the fifteen towers and fourteen stone disks were meant to represent the moon’s phases, and tomorrow’s full moon might reveal the inheritance.

• Xiao Wu defeated the fleeing Soul King while Wang Xingyu subdued the Soul Ancestor, and they freed the surviving Desert Cats and children.
• Wang Xingyu and Xiao Wu set off with Big Yellow, who knew the way to the pyramids.
• The group searched the pyramids by day and night but found no entrance or obvious clues inside.
• Wang Xingyu noticed there were fifteen towers but only fourteen stone disks and deduced that the disks should replace the towers’ top stones to represent the moon’s phases.
• Wang Xingyu realized the next night would be a full moon, possibly the moment the inheritance appeared.

Wang Xingyu and Xiao Wu activated the lunar tower puzzle and reached the place of Yue Shen's inheritance, where they encountered a powerful white wolf and Yue Shen's high priest. The high priest revealed that both he and the wolf were trapped there as priests, and that they would die within a few hundred years.

• Wang Xingyu and Xiao Wu broke open the fifteen towers, arranged their stone discs according to the moon phases, and waited for the full moon.
• At moonrise, the towers shifted from a crescent into a circle, but Wang Xingyu and Xiao Wu found no sign of Yue Shen's God Trial.
• A giant white wolf appeared, and Xiao Wu and Wang Xingyu unleashed the full-force strikes left to them by Lingxi and Qing Heng.
• A young man in white stopped the fight, returned Qing Heng's strike to Wang Xingyu, and introduced himself and the wolf as Yue Shen's high priests.
• The young man explained that the 990,000-year-old wolf had tried to seize Yue Shen's Divine Power, so he had trapped the wolf and made him a priest; both would perish within a few hundred years.

Xiao Wu and Wang Xingyu underwent the Yue Shen Assessment, but Xiao Wu’s aptitude earned her the rare Yue Shen Nine Trials while Wang Xingyu’s existing Life God Trial appeared to prevent him from receiving an assessment. The young man in white agreed to try to arrange assistant status for Wang Xingyu, leaving the outcome uncertain.

• The Silver Moon Wolf Emperor accepted Xiao Wu as a candidate after she swore never to harm the Soul Beast race, but decided Wang Xingyu did not need to swear.
• The young man in white and the Silver Moon Wolf Emperor raised the Yue Shen Pillar and told Xiao Wu to place her hand on it.
• Xiao Wu’s light climbed past the Red Level and triggered nine pink pillars, marking her Yue Shen Nine Trials and changing her forehead mark.
• Wang Xingyu touched the pillar, but it did not respond; the young man in white guessed that his Life God Trial blocked a second assessment.
• Wang Xingyu asked to become an assistant, and the young man in white closed his eyes to try to arrange it.

Wang Xingyu and Xiao Wu learned the conditions for joining Yue Shen's trials as auxiliaries and accepted a combined trial requiring them to defeat three powerful enemies within a year. Wang Xingyu proposed using the Silver Moon Wolf Emperor's power to raise his level, and the wolf agreed to hear his plan.

• The young man in white told Xiao Wu and Wang Xingyu that they could join Yue Shen's trials as auxiliaries, but their rewards would be reduced and the first four trials would combine into one.
• He explained that they had to kill Blood-Devouring Demon Lord, the Death Worm, and the Dark Moon Demon Wolf King within a year to pass the combined trial.
• The Silver Moon Wolf Emperor warned Wang Xingyu that fighting Blood-Devouring Demon Lord at level seventy-nine would be too difficult and could put Xiao Wu's trial at risk.
• Wang Xingyu said his Soul Skill could raise his level to about sixty-nine if the Silver Moon Wolf Emperor cooperated, then withheld further details until the wolf agreed.
• The Silver Moon Wolf Emperor agreed to cooperate and challenged Wang Xingyu to explain how he would fight Blood-Devouring Demon Lord.

Wang Xingyu and Xiao Wu combined the Yue Shen Nine Trials and put their plan to ambush the Blood-Devouring Demon Lord into action. Wang Xingyu activated the Soul Battlefield but lost consciousness, leaving Xiao Wu to flee with him as the wolf pack and a desert worm attacked.

• Xiao Wu agreed to combine the four trials, and the young man in white began them while Moonlight Power filled the tower.
• The Silver Moon Wolf Emperor led Wang Xingyu and Xiao Wu to the Dark Moon Demon Wolf pack, where they spotted the Blood-Devouring Demon Lord and the wolf king.
• Wang Xingyu drained the Silver Moon Wolf Emperor's Soul Power until he reached level sixty-nine, then flew with Xiao Wu over the pack to approach their targets.
• The Blood-Devouring Demon Lord sensed them and flew to intercept, so Wang Xingyu activated the Soul Battlefield and lost consciousness as the Demon Lord fell toward the sand.
• Xiao Wu fled while dragging Wang Xingyu, dodging the pursuing wolf king and the erupting desert worm before blocking the wolf king's lightning-laced attack with her Invincible Golden Body.
• Wang Xingyu's Life Domain deactivated and his Soul Power began to decline, but the Soul Battlefield remained active because both their souls had entered it.

Wang Xingyu fought the Blood-Devouring Demon Lord inside the Soul Battlefield, repeatedly killing him after he transformed into his Martial Soul. As the Blood-Devouring Demon Lord revealed the desperation and guilt behind his crimes, he rose to face Wang Xingyu’s tank cannon.

• Wang Xingyu trapped the Blood-Devouring Demon Lord in his domain and tried to shoot him, but the demon transformed into the Lion-Bodied Scorpion-Tailed Beast and killed him.
• Wang Xingyu revived, escaped on a motorcycle, then summoned a tank to withstand the transformed demon’s attacks.
• Xiao Wu escaped the Dark Moon Demon Wolves and Death Worm, met the Silver Moon Wolf Emperor, and headed back toward the Yue Shen Tower.
• Wang Xingyu repeatedly killed the Blood-Devouring Demon Lord with the tank until the demon stopped resisting and returned to human form.
• The Blood-Devouring Demon Lord explained how his stalled cultivation led him to consume blood and admitted he feared the people he had eaten.
• The Blood-Devouring Demon Lord stood up with a blade while Wang Xingyu aimed the tank cannon at him.

Wang Xingyu and Xiao Wu defeated the remaining Soul Beasts in the Yue Shen trials and completed all four combined trials. Xiao Wu received a Soul Power and Yue Shen Affinity increase, while Wang Xingyu earned a reserved reward of one God-given Soul Ring upon breaking through.

• Wang Xingyu awoke in the Yue Shen Tower after two days unconscious and told Xiao Wu he had killed the Blood-Devouring Demon Lord.
• The young man in white and the Silver Moon Wolf Emperor drove away a Level 99 human with a sacred presence, whom Wang Xingyu recognized as Qian Daoliu.
• Wang Xingyu and Xiao Wu killed the Death Worm, then used Soul Battlefield to defeat the Dark Moon Demon Wolf King and complete the four combined Yue Shen trials.
• The tower awarded Xiao Wu two Soul Power levels and twenty-five percent Yue Shen Affinity, bringing her to Level 64, and reserved a God-given Soul Ring for Wang Xingyu when he broke through.
• The Silver Moon Wolf Emperor sighed that he wished he could take part in the trials, then howled at the moon.

Wang Xingyu and Xiao Wu entered Moon-Reflecting City for the Fifth Trial, where their powers were suppressed and they learned the city’s rules firsthand. After Wang Xingyu killed a man who challenged them to a life-and-death battle, a masked resident offered to explain the city in exchange for food.

• Wang Xingyu and Xiao Wu entered Moon-Reflecting City and were capped at Level 59, with only their first five Soul Skills and domains available.
• The pair explored the floating island and learned that some residents mistook them for easy targets because of their youth.
• Wang Xingyu accepted a life-and-death challenge from a sharp-mouthed man and knocked him unconscious with Xiao Wu at the same time.
• After half an hour, Wang Xingyu left the arena, and the challenger’s companion discovered that the man had died without visible wounds.
• A middle-aged man in a half mask offered to guide Wang Xingyu and Xiao Wu in exchange for food, and Xiao Wu agreed.

Wang Xingyu and Xiao Wu learned Moon-Reflecting City's rules and found that the first Moon-Reflecting Step's Soul Beasts were harmless to them, allowing them to pass without a fight. After fifteen days of cultivation, they returned and fought their way past the second step's Soul Beasts, reaching the third step.

• Wang Xingyu learned that Moon-Reflecting Stones and moon-attribute bloodlines granted entry to Moon-Reflecting City, where residents faced monthly battles and the Moon-Reflecting Steps.
• Wang Xingyu and Xiao Wu climbed the first step, where a Lightning Rabbit and Desert Cat showed no hostility and let them pass to the second step.
• The Silver Moon Wolf Emperor wondered why no one had tried to rob the two and led them back to the Yue Shen Tower to cultivate.
• Fifteen days later, Wang Xingyu and Xiao Wu returned to Moon-Reflecting City and climbed onto the second step, where a Purple Spirit Snake and Thorny Vine attacked them.
• Xiao Wu deflected the Purple Spirit Snake and carried Wang Xingyu through three leaps, landing them on the third step.

Wang Xingyu and Xiao Wu climbed the Moon-Reflecting Steps, defeating increasingly difficult opponents until they faced a Man Faced Demon Spider and a Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear on the twelfth step. Xiao Wu’s tactics turned the two Soul Beasts against each other, but the battle was still ongoing.

• Wang Xingyu and Xiao Wu passed the sixth through tenth steps, overcoming Soul Beasts and human opponents before Xiao Wu defeated an Ancient Guardian on the tenth step.
• Xiao Wu again felt her Soul Power capacity briefly increase after passing the tenth step, and Wang Xingyu wondered whether the New and Full Moon Domain caused it.
• Wang Xingyu and Xiao Wu reached the twelfth step and faced a forty-thousand-year-old Man Faced Demon Spider and a twenty-five-thousand-year-old Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear.
• Wang Xingyu covered the step with Blue Silver Grass while Xiao Wu used Area Purification, her Soul Skills, and the Godly Zhuge Crossbow to harass the Soul Beasts.
• Xiao Wu used the Man Faced Demon Spider’s leg to stab the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear in the eye, causing the poisoned bear to attack the spider as she kept them fighting each other.

Wang Xingyu and Xiao Wu reached the fifteenth Moon-Reflecting Step, where they were summoned alongside thirteen other people who had cleared the fourteenth step. As the group prepared to gang up on them, Wang Xingyu exposed the white-haired old man as a disguised young man.

• Xiao Wu and the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear killed the Man Faced Demon Spider, then waited for poison to kill the bear, whose simulated Soul Bone dissipated with its body.
• Wang Xingyu and Xiao Wu defeated the opponents on the thirteenth and fourteenth steps, completing fourteen of the Moon-Reflecting Steps.
• Wang Xingyu and Xiao Wu activated the fifteenth step, which summoned all fifteen people who had cleared the fourteenth step for a last-one-standing test.
• One of the summoned Soul Masters urged the others to attack Wang Xingyu and Xiao Wu first, claiming Xiao Wu was the stronger fighter.
• Wang Xingyu suggested driving the white-haired old man off the step because he might be disguised, prompting the man to reveal his youthful appearance.

Wang Xingyu, Xiao Wu, and the white-haired young man fought twelve powerful Soul Masters on the fifteenth level, relying on Wang Xingyu’s Blue Silver Domain to drain their opponents’ Soul Power. After being forced beneath the arena, they hid and considered using Soul Battlefield to defeat the pursuers.

• The white-haired young man joined Wang Xingyu and Xiao Wu, and their Martial Soul displays and Wang Xingyu’s Blue Silver Domain astonished their opponents.
• Wang Xingyu spread Blue Silver Grass across the arena while the trio retreated and fought to avoid being surrounded.
• Xiao Wu eliminated the Lightning Flying Locust Soul Master, then took out another opponent while helping Wang Xingyu escape an encirclement.
• The remaining opponents pinned the trio with a control skill and unleashed a combined attack, causing Xiao Wu’s clones to fly off the arena as Wang Xingyu and the white-haired young man vanished.
• Wang Xingyu and Xiao Wu hid beneath the arena among real Blue Silver Grass, while the pursuers searched above them.
• Wang Xingyu considered using Soul Battlefield if the flying Soul Masters reached them below, which could incapacitate the pursuers and count as their defeat.

Wang Xingyu and Xiao Wu won the arena battle by hiding beneath it, and Xiao Wu passed Yue Shen’s Fifth Trial and gained the New and Full Moon Domain. The Silver Moon Wolf Emperor then revealed that the Sixth Trial required them to survive against him for an incense stick’s worth of time, leaving Wang Xingyu wondering whether they could quit the assessment.

• Wang Xingyu and Xiao Wu waited beneath the arena while the other Soul Masters fought, then returned to find the Lone Bamboo Soul Master and the disguised white-haired youth remaining.
• The white-haired youth charged Wang Xingyu but fell unconscious, and Xiao Wu defeated the Lone Bamboo Soul Master with Rabbit Leap Meteor.
• Xiao Wu and Wang Xingyu passed through the moon phase, and Xiao Wu received the New and Full Moon Domain as her Fifth Trial reward.
• Xiao Wu explained that her domain boosted recovery, hindered enemy accuracy, and included the Moon Wheel skill, which could restore her condition and Soul Power under certain limits.
• The Silver Moon Wolf Emperor announced that the Sixth Trial was to survive fighting him for an incense stick’s worth of time, despite suppressing his cultivation and physical strength.

Wang Xingyu and Xiao Wu began Yue Shen’s Sixth Trial by trying to survive against the Silver Moon Wolf Emperor until the incense burned out. The Wolf Emperor overwhelmed them and gravely wounded Wang Xingyu, while Xiao Wu fought to keep it away from him.

• Wang Xingyu and Xiao Wu spent five months cultivating before facing the Silver Moon Wolf Emperor on the new-moon night.

• Wang Xingyu began healing with his Blue Silver Emperor Soul Bone and pursued Xiao Wu as she struggled against the Wolf Emperor.

Wang Xingyu and Xiao Wu fought the Silver Moon Wolf Emperor, combining mental attacks and Xiao Wu’s Explosive Killing Nine-Stage Throw to land a powerful final strike. The Wolf Emperor survived and said he would honor the trial’s rules, leaving their qualification unresolved.

• Wang Xingyu returned to Xiao Wu after recovering from the Wolf Emperor’s blow, and they discussed the Wolf Emperor’s strength and attraction and repulsion abilities.
• Wang Xingyu used Mental Interference to stun the Wolf Emperor, giving Xiao Wu an opening to attack with Moonfall, the Godly Zhuge Crossbow, and Dragon Whisker Needles.
• Xiao Wu began the Explosive Killing Nine-Stage Throw while Wang Xingyu repeatedly disrupted the Wolf Emperor’s mind and Spiritual Power.
• After the Wolf Emperor broke free and counterattacked, Xiao Wu used Nothingness and Teleportation to complete the ninth throw and strike his back.
• The Wolf Emperor used his domain to repel Xiao Wu, pulled the Dragon Whisker Needles from his body, and told Wang Xingyu that he would follow the trial’s qualification rules.

Wang Xingyu and Xiao Wu fought the Silver Moon Wolf Emperor, whose Myriad Attraction Domain controlled the forces pulling and repelling them. They survived his attacks through healing and escape skills, but the fight became a war of attrition as their Soul Power dwindled and Xiao Wu had only one Moon Wheel use remaining.

• The Silver Moon Wolf Emperor explained his Myriad Attraction Domain and used its gravitational force to pull Wang Xingyu toward him while repelling Xiao Wu.

As Xiao Wu fought on alone, her New and Full Moon Domain transformed into Red Moon Domain, and she began overpowering the Silver Moon Wolf Emperor.

• Wang Xingyu and Xiao Wu alternated attacks from the front and back to land two successive Explosive Killing Nine-Stage Throw sets, crippling one of the Silver Moon Wolf Emperor’s arms.
• The Silver Moon Wolf Emperor used sand and gravity to pierce Wang Xingyu’s abdomen, then broke his throat and twisted Xiao Wu’s leg before Xiao Wu’s Rabbit Leap Meteor drove it through the dunes.
• Wang Xingyu transferred his remaining Soul Power to Xiao Wu, while his Blue Silver Life Domain vanished and Spring Breeze Brings New Life struggled to keep him alive.
• Xiao Wu’s blood transformed New and Full Moon Domain into Red Moon Domain, strengthening her as her injuries mounted and granting her attacks stacking defense-breaking power.
