Three days later, he woke in the Worship Hall, where Qian Renxue interrupted his reunion with Zhu Zhuqing and brought him to Qian Daoliu and Golden Crocodile Douluo.

• The God of Destruction offered Su Mu his inheritance, suppressed a blood-red light that Su Mu suspected belonged to the Asura God, and accepted Su Mu's demand for his weapon.

• Ling Yuan insisted on staying close to Su Mu even inside Spirit Hall, and the next day she, Su Mu, and Zhu Zhuqing left Spirit City by carriage.

After the Asura God revealed that Su Mu could begin the Asura God Trial after level 90, Su Mu returned to the room and finished absorbing a hundred-thousand-year Soul Ring, reaching Soul Saint. Ling Yuan learned the truth about his Soul Ring Configuration and insisted on guarding him, so Su Mu took her outside Heaven Dou City to test their strength; both prepared to unleash their Martial Soul Avatars.

• The Asura God told Su Mu that the Asura God Sword had fused with his Beast Martial Soul and that he could begin the Asura God Trial after level 90.

• Su Mu told Ye Lingling she had done it the wrong way, pulled her close, and began to deepen the kiss.

Su Mu returned to Sunset Forest with Ye Lingling to help her complete her Divine Trial and reunited with a weakened Gu Yuena, who explained that the Soul Bone from the Black-Robed Monster belonged to a rare set. The next morning, Su Mu’s system detected Tang San cultivating the Purple Demon Eye and offered him a chance to intercept it.

• Su Mu brought Ye Lingling back to Sunset Forest because her Second Divine Trial and his Third Divine Trial required him to help her obtain a suitable Soul Ring.
• Su Mu returned to the courtyard with Zhu Zhuqing, Ling Yuan, and Ye Lingling and found Gu Yuena looking deathly pale.

• Su Mu went to bed beside Zhu Zhuqing after setting aside his questions about Gu Yuena and the Soul Bone.
• The next morning, Su Mu heard the system offer to intercept Tang San cultivating the Purple Demon Eye.

• Dugu Yan brought Tang San to Dugu Bo, who tested Tang San by having a green snake bite him with poison and throwing him into the valley.
• Su Mu followed them and intercepted Tang San's Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and Infernal Delicate Apricot, enhancing both into god-grade herbs and refunding newborn versions.

• Tang San realized the herbs were weaker than expected and began collecting the medicinal plants in the garden as Su Mu intercepted more items.
• Dugu Bo roared and charged toward Tang San as he harvested the herbs.

Su Mu secretly intercepted and enhanced the Immortal Herbs while Tang San plundered the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, then watched Dugu Bo and a mysterious black-robed Titled Douluo fight. After Tang San discovered his herbs were ruined and the black-robed man gravely wounded Dugu Bo, the man spotted Su Mu and vanished toward him, forcing Su Mu to summon his Three-Headed Black Dragon Martial Soul.

• Su Mu exchanged the Frostblood Berry for Interception Points, enhanced several Immortal Herbs, and stored the rest in his system space as Tang San picked herbs and prepared to consume Ink Jade Divine Bamboo.
• Dugu Bo unleashed poisonous fog, and Su Mu used the Divine Aromatic Silk Beauty to clear it from around himself while Tang San was poisoned.
• Tang San opened his bundle and discovered that his selected Immortal Herbs had withered or reverted to their initial state, while his poison erupted again and the black-robed man suppressed it.
• The black-robed man used black spikes on himself and Tang San to boost his strength, then overpowered Dugu Bo and pierced his abdomen.
• The black-robed man noticed Su Mu hiding in the shadows and disappeared from view; Su Mu instinctively summoned the phantom of his Three-Headed Black Dragon and covered himself in black scales.

Su Mu killed the man in black with the Asura Sword and claimed an External Soul Bone from the set Gu Yuena had described. He found no sign of Tang San, then helped Ye Lingling save Dugu Bo as Dugu Yan accused him of attacking her grandfather.

• The man in black attacked Su Mu and revealed he had come to reclaim the skull Soul Bone that Number Five had been nurturing.
• Su Mu summoned the Asura Sword, wounded the man in black repeatedly, and pierced his heart before the man's ninth Soul Skill could pull him into a black vortex.

• Dugu Yan accused Su Mu of attacking Dugu Bo, but Ling Yuan knocked her down and arrived with Ye Lingling.
• Ye Lingling used her Nine Heart Begonia to heal Dugu Bo's wound and steady his breathing.

• Dugu Bo woke in the cave, and Su Mu explained that he had not been with the black-robed man who attacked him.
• A Nine-Section Jade burst from Dugu Bo, and Su Mu killed it despite Dugu Yan's anger.

• Su Mu used his Soul Power to suppress Dugu Bo's poison and warned that Dugu Yan suffered from the same Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor poison.
• Dugu Bo promised his life to Su Mu if he saved Dugu Yan, and Su Mu offered a herb-based cure that would cost them their Soul Power.
• Dugu Bo asked Su Mu to explain the second method of curing their poison.

Su Mu tried to cure Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan’s poison, gave Ye Lingling a Divine-Grade Delicate Silk Immortal, and entered the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well to absorb its energy. Two days later, the well’s energy turned violent, and Ling Yuan plunged toward the fire well to save him as Gu Yuena sensed the disturbance.

• Su Mu told Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan to force their toxins into a Soul Bone, then promised he had a way to deal with the poison in Dugu Bo’s marrow.
• Su Mu gave Ye Lingling a Divine-Grade Delicate Silk Immortal that could remove poison and might change her Martial Soul.
• Su Mu consumed the divine-grade Infernal Delicate Apricot and Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass, then descended into the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well to absorb its energy.
• As Su Mu cultivated for two days, the Three-Headed Flood Dragon absorbed ice and fire energy and began to transform.
• The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well’s energy turned violent, and Dugu Bo warned Ling Yuan that he could not safely enter.
• Ling Yuan ignored Dugu Bo’s warning and plunged toward the fire well, while Gu Yuena sensed the disturbance from the courtyard.

Su Mu’s Three-Headed Flood Dragon absorbed the Water and Fire Dragon Kings’ energy, becoming a Three-Headed Black Dragon as Su Mu was transformed and grew much stronger. After emerging from his breakthrough, he found Ling Yuan unconscious and unclothed in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, and dove in to reach her.

• Ling Yuan’s Martial Soul was suppressed by the fire spring’s heat, and she lost consciousness as her clothes burned away.
• The Water and Fire Dragon Kings sent their energy into the left and right heads of Su Mu’s Three-Headed Flood Dragon, which absorbed it despite their attempts to stop.
• The Flood Dragon grew a fifth claw with five toes and gained red and blue markings, becoming a Three-Headed Black Dragon rather than a Golden Dragon.
• Energy from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well transformed Su Mu, covered his body in dragon scales, and rapidly increased his Soul Power.
• Su Mu’s Three-Headed Black Dragon released pressure across the Treasure Bowl Basin, forcing the Soul Beasts to prostrate and making Dugu Bo feel its bloodline suppression.
