Several hundred thousand years after the Dragon God War began, Hephaestus ascended as the new God of Fire with his friend Heronas, a powerful tiger Divine Beast. The God Realm refused to admit Heronas for now, and God of Music was ordered to take Hephaestus to meet Asura God.

• Heronas summoned the God of Fire Relic from beneath Heavenly Tiger Forest, where a massive red-and-gold palace emerged amid a pillar of flame.
• Qian Yuxi asked Heronas about his strength, and Heronas said he had been reduced to the mortal world’s peak but could still face three human Limit Douluo.
• Heronas told Qian Yuxi, Qian Renxue, and the others that only humans under thirty could enter the relic, and that they had to wait ten days for its residual divine power to cool.
• Heronas promised to protect the group until the relic opened, then went back to sleep as Herya complained that he had not warned her.

Heaven Dou and other powerful factions learned of the God of Fire Relic and sent representatives toward Heavenly Tiger Forest. When the Star Luo Empire's party arrived, Qian Yuxi and Qian Renxue confronted them with Zhu Zhuyun as a hostage, leaving both sides in a tense standoff.

• Xue Ye sent Ning Fengzhi and Sword Dao Chenxin to investigate the pillar of light and considered their mission a way to gauge Spirit Hall's strength.

• On the eleventh day, Heronas announced that the God of Fire Relic had officially opened and explained its rules.

Qian Yuxi and the other young Soul Masters entered the God of Fire Relic, where they were separated from the other factions and crossed a volcanic sector toward a giant tower. At the volcano, Qian Yuxi discovered a sealed space beneath the magma and used the Squid Emperor's water-element power to try to break it.

• Heronas allowed the human Titled Douluo to enter only if their cultivation was suppressed to the level they had at age thirty, so most stayed outside while the younger Soul Masters entered.
• The factions passed through the relic gates and were teleported to different places; Qian Yuxi, Qian Renxue, Herya, and their Spirit Hall companions arrived in a scorching volcanic sector.
• Herya identified their location as the fifth outer sector and said a treasure trove lay beyond the volcano, so Qian Yuxi led the group onward.
• Qian Yuxi spotted a towering red structure and then found a crimson Hexagram seal hidden beneath the volcano's magma.
• Qian Yuxi summoned the Annihilation Sky Halberd and Eight Ghost Claws, channeled the Squid Emperor's water-element power, and activated Abyss of the Black Sea against the seal.

Qian Yuxi broke the volcano’s seal, revealing a trove of spirit bones, but the discovery brought the Spirit Hall group face-to-face with the Fire Leopard Sect. Tuoba Yun confronted the sect that destroyed her family, and Jin Yuetian stepped in to defend her as Feng Xiaotian uncovered a strange metal hand.

• Qian Yuxi used the Annihilation Sky Halberd and his Eight Ghost Claws to break the magma seal, and Qian Rensue led the group into the volcano.

• Tuoba Yun attacked Duan Yuhai, who taunted her about her past, and Jin Yuetian stood beside her and declared her his friend.
• Jin Yuetian overwhelmed the Fire Leopard Sect party, while Herya and Feng Xiaotian continued collecting treasures and Feng discovered a silver-white metal hand beneath the spirit bones.

Tuoba Yun and the others finished avenging her family, but Feng Xiaotian awakened a powerful guardian puppet while disturbing the soul bones. Elsewhere, Tang Hao and Bo Saixi explored a forest of precious herbs and discovered a Titled Douluo-level plant soul beast beside a lake.

• Tuoba Yun and Jin Yuetian celebrated the destruction of the Fire Leopard Sect, and Tuoba Yun began to confess her feelings before an explosion interrupted them.
• Feng Xiaotian was struck by a silver-white armored puppet that emerged from the soul bones, and Qian Yuxi recognized it as a guardian powered by fire-element energy.
• Qian Yuxi summoned his Annihilation Sky Halberd and Eight Ghost Claws, preparing to fight the puppet while Qian Renxue and the others watched the crater.
• Tang Hao and Bo Saixi traveled through a vast forest of precious herbs and soul beast spirits, collecting medicinal plants as they went.
• Bo Saixi received a mental signal and led Tang Hao to a lake, where they found a strange small tree with the aura of a Titled Douluo.

Qian Yuxi defeated a puppet Titled Douluo and reunited with Qian Renxue’s group, while Yu Tianxin and Yu Tianheng found Dragon-Pattern Fruits. At the central tower of the God of Fire Relic, the Spirit Hall group faced three more puppets and encountered Tang Hao and Bo Saixi, then prepared to fight.

• Qian Yuxi sensed the unusually pure energy in the sea of fire and considered it a potential cultivation ground as the group neared the Sky-Burning Soul Refining Pagoda.

Qian Yuxi and his companions crossed the sea of fire and entered the Sky-Burning Soul Refining Pagoda, where Qian Renxue discovered that its stairs contained a powerful cultivation trial. As they began climbing, Qian Yuxi considered moving the tower to Spirit Hall, while Heronas reflected on Hephaestus's plan to leave.

• Qian Yuxi discovered that the stairs' heat could improve cultivation and considered bringing the tower back to Spirit Hall.
• Heronas watched the group uncover the Fire God's Light and lamented that Hephaestus planned to leave him behind.

Qian Yuxi, Qian Renxue, Jin Yuetian, and Tuoba Yun climbed the Sky-Burning Soul Refining Pagoda while Qian Yuxi used his water-based abilities to counter its flames. After spotting Qian Yuxi’s Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bones, Tang Hao persuaded Bo Saixi to abandon the climb and help him recruit the Upper Three Sects to ambush Spirit Hall’s group.

• Qian Renxue steadily climbed the fiery steps as her Heart Fire refined and her cultivation bottleneck began to loosen.
• Qian Yuxi took Jin Yuetian and Tuoba Yun’s excess Heart Fire energy through his Eight Ghost Claws and used his water-based Soul Bones and skills to weaken the flames.

As Tang Hao prepared to unleash a killing move, three powerful figures arrived and struck down the Super Douluo, prompting Qian Yuxi, Qian Renxue, and the newcomers to recognize one another as family and master.
