Hui Ye helped stop Ma Xiaotao’s Evil Fire outbreak, then left Shrek Academy after stealing Huo Yuhao’s Mystic Water Pill and asking for extended leave. Huo Yuhao told Wang Yan about his first Soul Skill, while Hui Ye crossed paths with Wang Dong outside the academy and was followed by Lu Feng and Lu Tian.
Hui Ye turned Lu Feng and Lu Tian’s pursuit into an ambush, overpowering Lu Tian and extorting Lu Feng before escaping despite Lu Feng’s attack. Lu Feng took his wounded son away and decided to report Hui Ye to Shrek Academy as an Evil Soul Master.
Hui Ye reached Soul Power Level 20 and began building his Second Soul Ring by gathering Soul Rings of five attributes. After raising the water attribute to 5,000 years and the wood attribute to 1,500 years, he rested in the Star Dou Great Forest while Electrolux lamented Hui Ye’s repeated self-destructions.
Lu Feng and Bei Bei reported Hui Ye’s unusual abilities and hostility toward Shrek Academy to Yan Shaozhe, who chose to wait until Hui Ye returned before acting. Meanwhile, Hui Ye advanced his attribute progress in the Star Dou Great Forest and killed a rare Black Flame Fire Crow by self-destructing.
Hui Ye outsmarted a group of Evil Soul Masters, claimed the Black Flame Fire Crow’s Head Soul Bone, and used its skill to wound one pursuer. The black-clad figure tried to convince his remaining companion that Hui Ye was nearly out of Soul Power as they prepared to keep fighting.
Hui Ye defeated two Evil Soul Masters by repeatedly reviving and self-detonating, then took their belongings and kept the Head Soul Bone. An Evil Soul Master deacon ordered his men to find and recruit Hui Ye, while Hui Ye left the crater area to seek metal- and earth-attribute progress outside the Star Dou Great Forest.
Hui Ye joined a Zhou Clan mining expedition, only to discover that the clan had lured five hundred Soul Masters into a trap. The mine’s escape route was destroyed as powerful Soul Beasts attacked, leaving Hui Ye and the others trapped.
Hui Ye fought Commander Lie Hu, killed him, and then demonstrated how he could slay an Earth Armored Dragon from the inside. His example inspired another defense-type Soul Master to try the same trick, but the dragon chewed him up, leaving Hui Ye stunned.
Hui Ye battled through the trapped Soul Masters, using his self-destructive ability to defeat Soul Beasts and complete his earth attribute. Exhausted and one year short of completing his metal attribute, he absorbed a final Ten-Year Soul Ring and told the survivors he would take over.
Hui Ye completed his Second Soul Ring, reached Soul Power Level 27, and used his black flames to help the survivors defeat the Metal-Devouring Rats. As Hui Ye and the remaining members emerged from the passage, they confronted the Zhou Clan Soul King and Soul Saint over the ambush that had nearly wiped them out.
Hui Ye held off a Soul Saint and Soul King by repeatedly exploding and reviving so the group could flee, then trapped the enemies in a shield with his black flames. After escaping the shield, the two enemies faced another blast as the mine began to shake and a roar echoed through it.
Hui Ye fought the Earthquake Beast after the Zhou Clan’s men awakened it and tried to use him as bait. He defeated the beast in a cavern, found no Soul Bone, and decided to rest and have Electrolux provide him with life energy.
Hui Ye harvested a vast cache of Soul Tool ore while Electrolux absorbed life energy from him, and the two discussed Electrolux’s chances of recovery. After Hui Ye revealed plans to target the Zhou Clan and claimed he was invincible below god level, Electrolux demonstrated how easily a powerful opponent could immobilize him.
Hui Ye escaped the collapsed mine and confronted the Zhou Clan, whose patriarch believed his brothers were about to return. Hui Ye unleashed an explosion against the gathered clansmen, while Evil Soul Master Lao Si tracked the blast from several kilometers away.
Hui Ye accepted the Holy Spirit Cult deacon’s invitation after helping him defeat the Zhou Clan, but said he had to return to Shrek Academy first. The deacon gave Hui Ye a cult token and asked him to persuade Tang Ya to join as well.
After destroying the Zhou Clan and rescuing the surviving Soul Masters, Hui Ye learned that Electrolux could help him awaken a Second Martial Soul and set out for the Far North to find Soul Beasts. Ten days later, Electrolux began the ritual by demanding all four of Hui Ye's Soul Bones as offerings.
Hui Ye and Electrolux created a golden-black flame Second Martial Soul from four Soul Bones, then traveled deeper into the Far North. Hui Ye forced an Ice Jade Scorpion to carry him toward the Ice Empress’s palace.
Hui Ye confronted the Ice Empress, revealed that he could help her survive her next heavenly tribulation, and introduced Electrolux as his divine teacher. After she refused to sacrifice herself, Hui Ye told her that Tian Meng had sacrificed himself to Huo Yuhao because he could not become a god.
The Ice Empress agreed to sacrifice herself to Hui Ye after learning that Soul Beasts were barred from godhood, but first arranged for the Far North to be governed during her absence. Three days later, she and Electrolux began preparing the sacrifice, with the Ice Empress planning to form several Soul Bones for Hui Ye.
After the Ice Empress sacrificed herself, Hui Ye gained powerful Soul Skills and two upgraded External Soul Bones, though one left him with an embarrassing ice-blue manicure. Electrolux explained Hui Ye’s Holy Necromancer Martial Soul and advised him to prepare for more Soul Rings, while the Ice Empress urged him to target powerful Soul Beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest.
Hui Ye revealed to the Ice Empress and Electrolux that he came from another world, and Electrolux shared that he was also an outsider. After discovering his third Soul Skill needed a fifty-thousand-year spatial Soul Ring, Hui Ye learned the Ice Empress had once encountered a seventy-thousand-year Void Beast in the Sunset Forest.
Hui Ye and the Ice Empress prepared to leave the Far North to search for the Void Beast near the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, while Hui Ye's letters set off reactions at Shrek Academy. Their journey began with a mishap when the Ice Empress froze the Flying Soul Tool, and Hui Ye demanded that she pay for it.
After the Ice Empress broke Hui Ye’s Flying Soul Tool, he imprisoned her and learned to fly using Electrolux’s Wings of Shadow spell and his black-gold flames. On the way to the Sunset Forest, he goaded the Ice Empress into giving in by threatening to tell Snow Maiden how she had behaved.
