• Tang San told the Blue Silver King he needed a Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring and had come to awaken his Martial Soul.

• The Blue Silver King drew on the Blue Silver Forest’s life energy to help Tang San awaken, but his contaminated bloodline absorbed other Spirit Beast blood essence and mutated.

• The Man Faced Demon Spider died, and its energy condensed into a black Spirit Ring suited to Tang San’s Fifth Spirit Ring.

Tang San entered Slaughter City with Tang Hao to train, but found it nearly empty after Sword Demon killed the Slaughter King and disrupted its order. Tang Hao left to bring people to the city so Tang San could continue training and pursue a Hundred-Match Victory.

• Tang San found a Fallen and learned that Sword Demon had killed the Slaughter King, leaving the city's residents in hiding and the Hell Slaughter Arena short of competitors.
• Tang Hao realized Slaughter City lacked people for Tang San to practice on and left to capture more; over the next two or three years, villages and Spirit Hall investigation teams across the continent disappeared.

Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing received God-Given Soul Rings after reaching Level 60, and each endured the growing pressure to obtain a high-quality Sixth Soul Ring.

After absorbing his Eighth Soul Ring, Chen Yuan refined it into his Seven Kill Sword, transforming it into the Divine Weapon-grade Seven Kill Divine Sword. The commotion startled Sea God Island, and he explained his breakthrough to the women who gathered around him.

• Chen Yuan woke after seven or eight days of absorbing his Spirit Ring, and Ning Rongrong told him that she and the others had taken turns watching over him.
• Chen Yuan used his Soul Power and the state of Man and Sword as One to solidify and refine his seven-hundred-thousand-year Eighth Soul Ring into his Seven Kill Sword.

• The remaining half year passed as Chen Yuan, Dugu Yan, Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, and Ye Lingling continued cultivating and increased their Soul Power.
• Chen Yuan told the four women to test their limits on the Sea God's Light before he helped them complete the first trial.

Chen Yuan helped Dugu Yan, Ning Rongrong, Ye Lingling, and Zhu Zhuqing clear the first Sea God's Light trial by carrying or supporting them up the required steps. After the women received their rewards and began recovering, Chen Yuan and Dugu Yan reached the three-hundred-and-thirty-third step together, completing one-ninth of their assessment.

• Dugu Yan, Zhu Zhuqing, Ning Rongrong, and Ye Lingling climbed the Sea God's Light steps, but Ye Lingling could not get past the hundredth step, so Chen Yuan carried her to the one-hundred-and-eighth step and she cleared her trial.

After his Martial Soul was restricted, Chen Yuan entered the Ring-Shaped Sea alone and confronted the Demon Spirit Great White Shark King, overpowering her with his physical strength.

• Dugu Yan, Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, and Ye Lingling discovered that their second trials were to break through the Ring-Shaped Blockade without harming the sea Spirit Beasts.
• The golden barrier sealed the Ring-Shaped Sea, and a divine force tried to restrict Chen Yuan's Martial Soul, but his Seven Kill Divine Sword destroyed it; a voice then warned him that using a Divine Weapon would fail the trial.

• Chen Yuan activated Blood Demon Possession and his Blue Silver Emperor leg bone's regeneration skill, punched the Demon Spirit Great White Shark King, and hurled her out of the water toward shore.

Chen Yuan and the four women challenged the Ring-Shaped Sea trial, with him holding off the Demon Spirit Great White Shark King while Dugu Yan and Zhu Zhuqing guided their companions through the blockade. The women reached the opposite shore, completing the second of Chen Yuan’s nine trials, and he flew after them.

• Xiao Bai explained that the second trial required crossing the two-hundred-meter Ring-Shaped Sea while she attacked, and Chen Yuan decided to hold her off while the women broke through the lesser soul beasts.
• Over seven days, Dugu Yan, Ye Lingling, Zhu Zhuqing, and Ning Rongrong trained in swimming and underwater combat with Xiao Bai.

After completing the second trial, Chen Yuan and the four women began the third Seagod trials at Raging Wave Purgatory, where they had to endure crashing waves to temper their bodies. As the others faced the tides, Chen Yuan used the time to draw on Time-Space Power and strengthen his Mirror Skull.

• Dugu Yan, Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, and Ye Lingling reported their rewards for clearing the second trial, and Chen Yuan proposed resting before beginning the third.
• The group checked their assessments: Dugu Yan had to endure the tides for over twelve hours daily, Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing for over five, and Ye Lingling for over four, all for a year.
• Bo Saixi led Chen Yuan and the four women to Raging Wave Purgatory and summoned her Seagod Spirit to calm the waves and raise five Deep Sea Silver Pillars.
• Bo Saixi placed each of them on a pillar and explained that they had to complete their daily time in the waves, with unfinished time carrying over to the next day.
• As the waves struck the pillars, Chen Yuan meditated and merged strands of Time-Space Power into his Mirror Skull.

Chen Yuan and the others completed a year of Tidal Body Tempering, and Chen Yuan’s Mirror Skull sublimated into a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone with the Mirror World ability. The group completed their third trials and was granted time to rest before the fourth trial.

• The transformed Mirror Skull raised Chen Yuan’s spiritual power to the ultimate limit beneath the rules, while his Soul Power rose from Level 88 to Level 90.

• Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, and Ye Lingling joined Dugu Yan beside Bo Saixi, who congratulated them and allowed them to rest before the fourth trial.

• Chen Yuan released his Soul Power over the sea, frightening the nearby Spirit Beasts and drawing Xiao Bai to the shore.
• Chen Yuan asked Xiao Bai to lead them to the Demon Spirit Evil Orca Clan, and she warned him that the clan had nearly three hundred members and the Evil Orca King was stronger than she was.
• Chen Yuan said he could defeat the enemy himself, so Xiao Bai summoned nearly two hundred adult Demon Soul Great White Sharks to join the battle.
