At sea, Han Yu docked on an island to rest and discovered signs that people were living there.

• Han Yu spotted banana trees and human footprints on the island, and realized that someone had been there recently.

• Chen Ping took the Sea Serpent to the edge of the Demon Whale Sea Area, and Han Yu continued ahead in his Soul Guidance Ship.
• Han Yu circled the area’s center to draw out the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King, then cast the Void Engulfing Flame into the air as the whale rose toward the surface.

Han Yu confronted the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King, then transported them to a separate space and fought him with his flames and Soul Skills. The Demon Whale King called for a halt and began discussing their shared goal of destroying Sea God Island.

• Han Yu asked the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King where Sea God Island was and proposed they destroy it together, but the Demon Whale King attacked him.
• Han Yu used the Void Engulfing Flame to swallow their surroundings and move the fight into his own space, where he revealed he needed the Demon Whale King's power to become a god.

• Han Yu attacked the Demon Whale King with the Sea Heart Phantom Beast and Fire Cloud Extinction, and the Demon Whale King called for a pause after sensing the golden Soul Ring's power.
• Han Yu stopped his attacks, and the Demon Whale King explained his grudge against Poseidon and defended his Soul Beasts' need to hunt for food.

Han Yu persuaded the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King that soul beasts could reach godhood through sacrifice, and the Whale King returned after confirming the truth with Di Tian. The Whale King accepted Han Yu’s oath and sacrificed himself, leaving Han Yu to absorb his power and attempt to break through to a God Body.

• Han Yu warned the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King that soul beasts could not become gods through cultivation and explained the sacrificial path to godhood.
• The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King traveled to the Star Dou Great Forest, where Di Tian confirmed Han Yu’s claims and supported the sacrifice plan.
• The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King returned to Han Yu and demanded an oath to revive him, destroy Sea God Island, and bring him Sea God’s head.
• Han Yu swore the oath, and the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King sacrificed himself, forming a golden soul ring and a black-gold torso Soul Bone.
• Han Yu used the Void Engulfing Flame to conceal himself and began absorbing the sacrifice’s power to break through to a God Body.

Bo Saixi and the Sea God investigated the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King's mysterious Sacrifice, while Han Yu secretly absorbed its million-year Soul Ring and Soul Bone and continued cultivating toward a God Body. Six months later, Tang San planned to seek a Land of Inheritance overseas to heal Dai Mubai and preserve his chance at the Star Luo throne, and Yu Xiaogang sent him to ask Ning for help finding a ship.

• Bo Saixi told Sea Dragon Douluo and the other Sacred Pillar Douluo that the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King had sacrificed himself, while the Sea God failed to locate him and worried about losing faith and the Sea God's Heart.
• The Asura God offered the Sea God a recommendation to assist the incoming God Kings, and the Sea God ordered Bo Saixi to investigate the whale and increase Sea God Island's population.
• Han Yu absorbed the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King's million-year Soul Ring and Soul Bone, unlocked a third Martial Soul, and chose to keep cultivating before confronting Sea God Island.
• After half a year, Bo Saixi's search had found nothing, while Han Yu continued tempering his God Body and had transformed six Soul Bones into armor.
• Tang San reached level sixty-five but failed to heal Dai Mubai, so he decided to seek a Land of Inheritance overseas before war could ruin Dai Mubai's bid for the Star Luo throne.
• Yu Xiaogang warned Tang San that finding a safe ship would be difficult, then advised him to ask Ning for help; Tang San proposed using a trip to Sea God Island as their excuse.

Tang San arranged a voyage toward Sea God Island with Dai Mubai, Tai Tan, and Yu Tianheng, while Ma Hongjun secretly left to seek another inheritance. Han Yu reached quasi-god strength and announced he would attack Sea God Island, forcing Bo Saixi to evacuate its residents to Sea Horse City as the Sea God feared losing his believers.

• Ning Fengzhi agreed to help Tang San travel to Sea God Island, and Yu Xiaogang persuaded Tang San to bring Yu Tianheng along with Dai Mubai and Tai Tan.
• Ma Hongjun secretly left the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect for the southern Star Luo Empire to pursue a different inheritance, while Yu Xiaogang showed little concern when his disappearance came to light.
• Han Yu emerged from his seclusion at quasi-god strength, then destroyed the Sea God Island warriors and Demon Soul Great White Sharks who approached him and gave a survivor three days to warn Bo Saixi.
• The Sea God recognized Han Yu as a threat to Sea God Island and feared he could not intervene without jeopardizing his evaluation by the Asura God.
• Bo Saixi ordered Sea Dragon Douluo to move Sea God Island's residents and supplies to Sea Horse City, and the island's Soul Masters completed the evacuation over three days.
• After the three days passed, Han Yu rose from his submarine and prepared to attack Sea God Island, intending to weaken the Sea God by destroying his base of believers.

Han Yu fought Bo Saixi and the Sea God after breaking through Sea God Island’s barrier, using his flames and the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King’s power to challenge Poseidon. The battle ended in a massive explosion, leaving the Sea God’s victory uncertain as waves threatened Sea Horse City.

• Han Yu melted the Sea God barrier with Void Engulfing Flame, while Bo Saixi sent Sea Dragon Douluo and the others to retreat and fought him with her Sea God abilities.
• Han Yu overwhelmed Bo Saixi until Poseidon controlled her body through his stored Divine Sense and used the Sea God Trident to shatter Han Yu’s fire dragon.
• Poseidon learned Han Yu possessed the Sea God’s Heart and demanded his flames, but Han Yu used Sea Heart Flame and Golden Emperor Sky Burning Flame to repel the Sea God Trident and force Poseidon to retreat.
• Han Yu refused Poseidon’s compromise and summoned the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King, who attacked Poseidon while seeking revenge for his blinded eye.
• A huge explosion formed a golden mushroom cloud, and the shockwave and ensuing waves reached Sea Horse City, where the five Saint Pillar Douluo joined forces to protect it.

Han Yu defeated Poseidon’s manifestation and destroyed Sea God Island’s symbols, causing Poseidon to lose faith and power. Meanwhile, Tang San’s group reached Binhai City and met Captain Menliev, who warned them that the sea was too dangerous for ships to sail.

• Han Yu used a Seven-Colored Fire Lotus to destroy Poseidon’s Sea God Trident and disperse his Divine Sense, while Poseidon protected Bo Saixi from the blast.
• Han Yu declared Poseidon defeated, but Bo Saixi and Sea Dragon Douluo were teleported away by an unknown Divine Being before Han Yu could capture them.
• Han Yu dismantled Sea God Island’s symbols and absorbed its Spiritual Energy as residents abandoned the island and Poseidon’s faith-based power waned.
• Poseidon tried to preserve his influence by spreading his faith elsewhere and began calling himself the Lake God.
• Tang San’s group entered Binhai City, met Captain Menliev, and learned that recent turmoil had left ships docked and the sea unsafe to cross.
