Chapter Summaries

Tang San endured the violent backlash from absorbing the three Thousand Jun Ant Emperors’ Soul Rings and mastered the Grand Sumeru Hammer by confronting their energy within his own body. He gained the Clear Sky Hammer’s recognition, absorbed the remaining Soul Ring energy, and began cultivating despite his grave injuries.

• Tang San attached three Soul Rings to the Clear Sky Hammer, and their immense energy surged into his body.
• Tang San used the Grand Sumeru Hammer’s all-or-nothing conviction to repeatedly strike and scatter the energy inside himself, suffering severe damage to his meridians and body.
• Tang San’s inner reflection on Yu Xiaogang’s teaching helped him understand the Clear Sky Hammer as a twin with its own heart, and his dominance won its recognition.
• Tang San fused his divine power, spiritual power, Mysterious Heaven Skill, Eight Spider Lances, and Clear Sky Hammer aura into an energy hammer that crushed and absorbed the gathered Soul Ring energy.
• Tang San dragged himself upright beside the Mutated Clear Sky Hammer and began cultivating to restore his injured body.

Tang San recovered from absorbing three soul rings and nearly reached Level 91, but Qian Renxue suddenly appeared before him, revealing that she had become a god. She explained that Yun Feng had sent her to investigate divine inheritances and that he wanted to learn whether Tang San’s inheritance could be transferred.

• Tang San’s body and meridians healed as divine energy and his Clear Sky Hammer strengthened him, while his aura drove soul beasts away from the center of the Star Dou Great Forest.
• Tang San’s Soul Power surged to just short of Level 91, and he celebrated by floating above the ground and howling with the Clear Sky Hammer raised.
• Qian Renxue spoke from nearby, startling Tang San, who attacked and then discovered he could not sense or spiritually lock onto her.

• When Tang San speculated about her motives, Qian Renxue warned him not to let his imagination run wild and revealed her godly power.
• Qian Renxue explained that Yun Feng had sent her to investigate divine inheritances and wanted to know whether Tang San’s inheritance could be transferred.

• Tang San knelt and apologized, but Qian Renxue saw through his act and warned him to return with her to face Yun Feng.
• Tang San rejected her demand, accused Yun Feng and Qian Renxue of ruining his life, and attacked with the Mutated Clear Sky Hammer.

• Tang San charged after Qian Renxue and sent a concentrated mass of Black Light from the Mutated Clear Sky Hammer toward her.

Tang San wounded Qian Renxue with the Mutated Clear Sky Hammer and escaped into the Star Dou Great Forest by concealing himself among the Blue Silver Grass. Qian Renxue failed to find him even with Divine Sense and decided to wait for him to leave the forest.

• Tang San struck Qian Renxue with the Mutated Clear Sky Hammer, injuring her and forcing her back before he fled into the Star Dou Great Forest.
• Qian Renxue took possession of the Mutated Clear Sky Hammer and pursued Tang San, believing he could no longer inherit a godhood without it.
• Tang San used his spiritual power and the Blue Silver Grass to disguise his aura, sending a false trail away while he hid and fled through the forest.
• Qian Renxue found the Blue Silver Grass decoy and scanned the entire Star Dou Great Forest with Divine Sense, but could not locate Tang San.
• Qian Renxue sat down beside the decoy and waited for Tang San to leave the forest, intending to detect him once he lost the Blue Silver Grass's cover.

Tang San remained trapped at the edge of the Star Dou Great Forest while Qian Renxue’s Divine Sense searched for him, then approached her with a wager to win time to escape and recover his Mutated Clear Sky Hammer. Qian Renxue agreed to hear his proposal, and Tang San challenged her to a fight without divine artifacts.

• Qian Renxue continuously scanned the Star Dou Great Forest with her Divine Sense while Tang San hid from her and considered how to escape with his Mutated Clear Sky Hammer.

• Tang San challenged Qian Renxue to fight for an incense stick’s worth of time without using divine artifacts, with his freedom and the return of his hammer at stake.

Tang San wagered that he could withstand Qian Renxue for the time it took an incense stick to burn, then revealed a technique that turned his Blue Silver Grass soul rings blue and let him draw on the forest’s power. Their clashes forced Qian Renxue to recognize his god-level strength, and Tang San charged again as she prepared to meet him without using her soul skills.

• Qian Renxue refused to return Tang San’s Mutated Clear Sky Hammer until he swore loyalty, and Tang San vowed to reclaim it himself.

• Qian Renxue unleashed her god-level power, but Tang San used a blue vortex and redirected her attack, then charged at her again with afterimages as she refused to use her soul skills.

Tang San fought Qian Renxue with relentless, life-draining attacks but was ultimately struck down by her Angel Sword. He rose from the ravine and used Oscar’s sausages to recover, leaving the wager unresolved.

• Qian Renxue blasted Tang San through several exchanges, but his fifth attack forced her back and wounded her.

• Tang San insisted that the wager was not over, then ate Recovery Sausages and other sausages made by Oscar.
• Tang San’s injuries healed rapidly, and his strength appeared restored.

Tang San recovered with Oscar’s Crystal Caterpillar Sausage, then revealed his Clear Sky Hammer and discovered its three Thousand Jun Ant Emperor soul rings had mutated into one-hundred-thousand-year rings. He prepared to use the Grand Sumeru Hammer’s Ring Detonation against Qian Renxue, leaving the wager’s outcome to their coming clash.

• Tang San used the Crystal Caterpillar Sausage to restore his stamina and heal his injuries, and Qian Renxue noted that his Blue Silver Grass soul rings could no longer be used.
• Tang San summoned his Clear Sky Hammer, revealing five soul rings, including three red rings that had mutated from the Thousand Jun Ant Emperor brothers’ rings.
• Tang San and Qian Renxue realized that the three rings had mutated, and Tang San suspected the forceful method he used to absorb them had forged them into one-hundred-thousand-year rings.
• Tang San enlarged the Clear Sky Hammer and prepared to use Ring Detonation, the Grand Sumeru Hammer technique that sacrificed soul rings to unleash their power.
• Tang San wielded the transformed hammer with confidence, believing its strength could challenge Qian Renxue if she did not use a divine artifact.

Tang San switched to the Clear Sky Hammer and used a Ring Detonation-powered strike to shatter Qian Renxue’s Angel Holy Sword, then pressed his advantage with a relentless series of attacks. Qian Renxue finally used a soul skill to counter him, and Tang San detonated another soul ring as golden feathers closed in.

• Tang San detonated his fifth soul ring and pursued Qian Renxue’s true body, then detonated his fourth soul ring as the golden feathers approached.

Tang San used Ring Detonation and the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer to keep fighting Qian Renxue after she unleashed Angel's Shield and her Angel Domain. The chapter ended as his strongest Clear Sky Hammer strike, briefly elevated to the level of a divine artifact, collided with Qian Renxue's attack.

• Tang San's fifth hammer drove Qian Renxue into the ground, and she used Angel's Shield to withstand his next blow.

• Tang San disrupted Qian Renxue's Divine Sense with his gaze and struck her with a Clear Sky Hammer empowered by the accumulated force of his attacks and Ring Detonation.

• Tang San used Oscar’s Sturdy Golden Fly and the last of his strength to unleash Goddess of Mercy Tears.
• The tiny water droplet pierced Qian Renxue’s Angel Defense and heart, forcing her to stop and leaving her gravely injured.
• The incense went out, and Tang San told Qian Renxue that Goddess of Mercy Tears was the Tang Sect’s greatest hidden weapon.

Tang San survived his wager with Qian Renxue and recovered the Mutated Clear Sky Hammer, but his injuries and the three-day deadline left him unsure whether he could escape her pursuit. After discovering that he had crossed the Level 90 threshold, he began cultivating outside the Star Dou Great Forest and realized Qian Renxue might still catch him.

• Qian Renxue allowed Tang San three days to flee, though Goddess of Mercy Tears had shattered her heart and left her unable to pursue him immediately.
• Tang San returned invisibly to retrieve the Mutated Clear Sky Hammer, heard Qian Renxue explain how badly it had wounded her, and left without attacking her.

• Tang San began cultivating beyond Qian Renxue's Divine Sense and found that Ring Detonation had badly damaged his body and meridians.
• Tang San realized he needed at least a day and a half to recover and doubted he could escape Qian Renxue, who might be able to track him.

Tang San repaired his meridians, recovered enough Soul Power to flee toward the coast, and tried to evade Qian Renxue’s pursuit. Just before reaching the sea, he realized she had tracked him down and descended into the hills to face her as her Angel Domain engulfed the area.

• Tang San used Wrath Divine Power to heal his ruptured meridians and recovered sixty percent of his Soul Power through cultivation.

• Qian Renxue realized Tang San was still alive and rushed after his fleeing aura toward the sea.
• Tang San sensed Qian Renxue tracking him from above and burrowed more than five hundred meters underground to shield himself from her attacks.

Qian Renxue pursued Tang San underground, where he tried to outlast her by diving deeper and forcing her to spend her divine power. After her attack failed to kill him, Tang San used Ring Detonation to escape and prepared another defense as the underground battle continued.

• Qian Renxue coated her armor in Sun True Fire and melted through the earth to catch Tang San.
• Tang San sensed her approach, dived deeper using Earth Force and Gravity Control, and swallowed Recovery Sausages to replenish his Soul Power.
• At a depth of about 1,200 meters, Tang San stopped using Earth Force, drawing Qian Renxue within attack range.
• Qian Renxue unleashed a Rice-Shaped Slash, but Tang San's Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer, defenses, and Eight Spider Lances weakened its force enough for him to survive.
• Tang San detonated his Blue Silver Grass First Soul Ring to dispel the invading Angel God power and propel himself forward.
• Tang San switched back to the Clear Sky Hammer and activated its fourth and fifth Soul Rings, forming a shell that shielded him from the crushing earth.

Tang San used his Thousand Jun Ant Emperor soul skills to burrow through the earth more efficiently and escape Qian Renxue, but she opened a passage to the surface and absorbed Sun True Fire to accelerate her pursuit. As Qian Renxue caught up, Tang San activated the God of Wrath's mark and detonated Blue Silver Grass's remaining Soul Rings.

• Tang San detonated all eight Blue Silver Grass soul rings and poured the resulting power into his Mutated Clear Sky Hammer to shield himself from Qian Renxue’s Sun True Fire.

• The God of Wrath told Tang San to draw on emotions as the source of his power.

Tang San survived Qian Renxue’s attack with the God of Wrath’s help, but the Heart of God vanished and his inheritance became more difficult. Qian Renxue returned to Yun Feng, who decided to break through level ninety and go to Sea God Island.

• Tang San stayed to fight beside the God of Wrath, who deflected Qian Renxue’s attacks and struck her with gathered Emotion Power.

As the group traveled toward the whale king’s territory, Xiao Bai explained the vastness of the sea and why the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King was feared as the ocean’s unrivaled overlord.

• Yun Feng decided to visit the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King before returning to Sea God Island, and Gu Yuena and Xiao Wu warned him about the beast’s immense power.
• Yun Feng opened a spatial rift, brought his son Long Er to handle the empire’s state affairs, and took the women with him to Sea God Island.
• After spending several days on Sea God Island, Yun Feng set out with the women and Xiao Bai, planning to fight the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King alone for his Ninth Soul Ring.
• Xiao Bai told Ning Rongrong and the others that the sea held far more powerful soul beasts than the land and that her elders had forbidden her clan from entering the whale king’s waters.
• Xiao Bai explained that even the Evil Spirit Orca clan had suffered a major loss after invading the whale king’s territory, and said his age and strength were unknown but likely close to godhood.

Yun Feng and his companions reached the Demon Whale Sea Area so he could face the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King and complete his Seagod Eighth Trial. The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King opened the battle with a massive sea-powered attack aimed at Yun Feng.

• Xiao Bai warned Yun Feng that the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King could match her speed and would be difficult to fight, but Yun Feng declared that he would defeat it.
