Xu Xiao’s warships were surrounded by a piranha clan led by a Hundred-Thousand-Year Piranha King, so he empowered his soldiers and ordered them to exterminate the beasts.

• Yue Fei announced that they had arrived at Angel Island, and Xu Xiao went with Ya Li to the captain's cabin.
• Hu Hansan greeted Xu Xiao and remarked that Angel Island looked different from when he had left.

Xu Xiao discovered that Angel Island was overrun by human-skinned monsters from the Mist Bandit Group, and learned the Faceless Monster came from the same faction. With the island’s black mist blocking communication, he set out to confront the remaining monsters, allowing Hu Hansan to accompany him after Hu pleaded to face his old friends.

• Xu Xiao used his Double Pupil to spot three Title Douluo-level monsters wandering near Angel Island’s shore, and Hu Hansan recognized them as former friends.
• Yue Fei restrained the three monsters while Xu Xiao searched their minds; their bodies burst into black mist, which Yue Fei bound with golden chains.
• Xu Xiao learned the monsters belonged to the Mist Bandit Group on the Demonic Continent Plane, that the Faceless Monster ranked third among them, and that more than twenty ordinary monsters had arrived on Angel Island through a Space Tunnel.
• Xu Xiao found that the black mist blocked Soul Tool communications and concluded the Faceless Monster might have come from unreclaimed Ling Hai City because of Scum.
• Xu Xiao ordered Hu Hansan back to the ship before he, Ya Li, and Yue Fei went to confront the remaining monsters, but Hu Hansan begged to come and pledged his loyalty to Xu Xiao.

• Yue Fei bound the Black Tortoise with Law Golden Chains, destroyed its true form, and killed the Xuanming Old Ancestor.
• Xu Xiao, Ya Li, and Hu Hansan fought off the Human-Face Flowers with Ya Li’s Holy Light Sword Qi and Xu Xiao’s Destruction Beams.

• Ya Li opened a spatial passage across the swamp, and Xu Xiao brought her and Hu Hansan through it before they continued onward.

Xu Xiao, Ya Li, and Hu Hansan entered a village that resembled Hu Hansan’s hometown and found an elite monster disguised as Cuihua. After it shrieked, the peaceful illusion vanished, revealing the bloodied ruins of the village.

• Xu Xiao sensed a presence in the village and let Hu Hansan lead them toward his home.
• Hu Hansan recalled planting a flower with Cuihua and explained that he had been swept away while searching for a heart-shaped shell to confess to her.
• Xu Xiao, Ya Li, and Hu Hansan found Cuihua waiting at Hu Hansan’s house, and she invited him to become one with her.
• Xu Xiao stopped Hu Hansan from approaching and identified Cuihua as an elite monster formed from the village’s monsters.
• The monster revealed its true form and shrieked, dispelling the illusion and exposing the village’s ruined houses, bloodied ground, and scattered corpses and bones.

Xu Xiao and his companions traced the monsters to a Space Tunnel beneath the island and prepared to guard it against further incursions. As Hu Hansan mourned Cuihua and the other villagers, Ya Li confessed her grief over lives lost in a future invasion, and Hu Hansan promised to find and protect Cuihua in the next life.

• Ya Li exhausted the elite monster’s black mist with Holy Light Sword Qi, and Xu Xiao destroyed the monsters it split into before searching the last one’s memories.
• Xu Xiao and Ya Li traced the mist to a Space Tunnel beneath a stream, where Ya Li explained that gods on the Demonic Continent were sending divine power through it.
• Xu Xiao said the tunnel’s assimilation would take many years and ordered Yue Fei and ten thousand Great Snow Dragon Cavalry to guard it permanently.
• Xu Xiao told Ya Li he would arrange weekly lessons for Healing System Soul Masters, while Hu Hansan asked to bury the villagers and learned their bodies could not be put in the ground.
• Three days later, as the Great Snow Dragon Cavalry built a camp behind a metal wall, Ya Li told Xu Xiao she remembered people dying in a future invasion of the Abyssal Plane.
• Hu Hansan gathered Cuihua’s ashes and walked to the shore, promising to find and protect her in the next life.

Xu Xiao and Ya Li were ambushed over the sea by Tang San, whose avatar trapped them in a massive vortex and threatened their lives. Xu Xiao fired a quasi Level 11 God-Slaying Missile that vaporized the avatar, but the blast swept both of them away and left Xu Xiao struggling to stay conscious.

• Xu Xiao and Ya Li flew over the sea when Tang San created a huge vortex and trapped them in its gravitational pull.
• Tang San demanded that Xu Xiao and Ya Li choose who would survive, while Xu Xiao refused to yield and secretly waited for his weapon to finish charging.
• Xu Xiao summoned a quasi Level 11 God-Slaying Missile and fired it at Tang San's avatar despite Tang San's warning that they would die too.
• The missile's blast vaporized Tang San's avatar and sent Xu Xiao and Ya Li tumbling away in a massive shockwave.
• Xu Xiao saw that Ya Li had fainted and, exhausted and dizzy, struggled to remain conscious.

Xu Xiao awoke on the deep-sea floor with Ya Li unconscious and encountered the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King, who said it needed his help. The whale king recounted how the First Generation Sea God Poseidon betrayed its clan and placed a seal on them, leaving Xu Xiao to suspect it wanted him to remove the seal.

• Xu Xiao recovered inside a membrane on the seabed and found Ya Li unconscious in a giant shell.
• The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King appeared, assured Xu Xiao it meant no harm, and said it had brought him there because it needed his help.

• The whale king said Poseidon had blinded its clan leader, helped kill him, and sealed the Deep Sea Demon Whale Clan to suppress its strongest members.
• Xu Xiao looked toward the seal and wondered whether the whale king wanted him to remove it.

Xu Xiao restored his Soul Power with Blood Spirit Coral and reached the peak of Level 89 before entering the Sea God Palace to undo its seal. The palace doors closed behind him, leaving the trials inside unknown.

• The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King offered Xu Xiao the Blood Spirit Coral and promised its clan's loyalty if he undid the seal inside the Sea God Palace.

• Xu Xiao approached the Sea God Palace, endured its pressure, and found its heavy doors were the only obstacle at the entrance.
• Xu Xiao pushed open the palace doors and entered, and they closed behind him.

Xu Xiao overcame the Tidal Corridor’s sensory deception and fought the extreme-water tide with his fire skills. He destroyed the corridor’s glowing door despite Poseidon’s warning and offer of a Level 2 God position, then entered.

• Xu Xiao noticed his Martial Soul and Soul Power seemed sealed and realized the corridor’s rising water threatened to drown him.
• Xu Xiao used his Spiritual Power to see through the runes’ deception and discovered that the Tidal Corridor’s seals were illusions.
• Xu Xiao unleashed his fire skills against the extreme-water tide and learned that Poseidon’s runes offered a way through by pledging loyalty.

• Xu Xiao used his Martial Soul Avatar to overpower the tide and shatter the glowing door, then walked inside.

Xu Xiao fought the seven phantom guardians of the Sacred Pillars in Poseidon's hall, discovering that the pillars could restore them after he struck them down. He destroyed two guardians and their pillars, while the remaining five regrouped and began a new maneuver.

• Seven level 98 guardian phantoms appeared before the Sacred Pillars, and Xu Xiao realized they resembled the former guardians whose souls had faded away.
• Poseidon's restrictions prevented Xu Xiao from using powers at the Limit Douluo level and above, while the guardians attacked him with their spirit skills.

• Xu Xiao defeated Sea Horse Douluo with Sun Fist Intent and destroyed his Sacred Pillar.
• The five remaining guardians pulled away from Xu Xiao, and he abruptly sensed danger as he noticed their movements.

Xu Xiao fought the five Rank 98 Super Douluo guarding the sacred pillars, stopping their Five-in-One Fusion Skill and defeating them one by one. After destroying the pillars, he faced the final Sea Spear Douluo and dispersed his projection.

• The four Super Douluo transmitted their Soul Power through Sea Dragon Douluo, and Xu Xiao interrupted their Five-in-One Fusion Skill before it could reach its full strength.
• Sea Dragon Douluo reached Pseudo-God power and attacked Xu Xiao, but Xu Xiao merged his Extreme Fire dragons, shattered the tornado, killed Sea Dragon Douluo, and destroyed his sacred pillar.
• Xu Xiao used his Double Pupil to defeat Sea Delusion Douluo and destroy his pillar, then sealed Sea Ghost Douluo’s escape with Extreme Fire beams and destroyed his pillar.
• Starfish Douluo used his devouring skills, but Xu Xiao engulfed him in a sea of fire and melted the remaining sacred pillars.
• Sea Spear Douluo launched a piercing attack, but Xu Xiao blocked it with his Martial Soul Avatar and dispersed his projection.

Xu Xiao descended beneath the shaking hall and found the Sea God's Heart, where Poseidon tried to tempt and manipulate him with illusions. Xu Xiao rejected each deception and attacked the crystal, which seized control of the space and trapped him in an illusion.

• Xu Xiao recovered his Soul Power, activated Absolute Defense, and descended through a dark tunnel into a silent space containing the Sea God's Heart.
• Poseidon offered to grant Xu Xiao any wish if he stopped trying to break the seal, but Xu Xiao decided to destroy the crystal.
• The Sea God's Heart appeared as a woman Xu Xiao had loved in a previous life, but he burned the illusion to ashes.
• The crystal then appeared as the Palace Maid and asked Xu Xiao to resurrect her son, but he exposed himself as the person who had killed him and burned her illusion away.
• Xu Xiao demanded that Poseidon and Tang San die, then struck the crystal as it transformed into Snow Empress, Meng Hongchen, and Ye Guyi.
• The Sea God's Heart returned to crystal form, took control of the space, and declared that Xu Xiao would sleep within an endless illusion.

Xu Xiao lived through an illusion on Sea God Island that urged him to confess to Bo Saixi, but he resisted the strange voice in his mind and awakened to his true memories. He recognized the scene as a trap created by Sea God's Heart and began destroying it.

• Xu Xiao met Bo Saixi on an island and, with Sea Dragon Douluo and the other six Douluos, attended a ceremony where they encouraged him to confess to her.
• After Bo Saixi fell asleep against him, Xu Xiao carried her to her room, resisted the voice urging him to take advantage of her, and fled outside.
• A golden-eyed seagull shot light into Xu Xiao's eyes and awakened him, restoring his memories of Meng Hongchen, Ye Guyi, and being struck by Sea God's Heart's divine skill.
• Xu Xiao regained his Double Pupils and Extreme Fire, recognized the seven Title Douluos as people he had killed, and dispersed them and the illusory Sea God Island.
• Xu Xiao reached into his body, pulled out the heart, and identified it as Sea God's Heart.

After destroying Sea God's Heart, Xu Xiao was teleported to the crushing darkness of the sea floor one hundred thousand meters underwater. He used the Law of Fire to withstand the immense gravity, found Poseidon's concealed seal by following the Power of Destiny, and was left wondering how to return to the surface.

• Xu Xiao crushed Sea God's Heart and burned its fragments to ash, then used Absolute Defense when its destruction triggered a spatial teleportation.
• Xu Xiao arrived one hundred thousand meters underwater and used the Law of Fire to shield himself from the growing gravitational pressure.
• Xu Xiao replenished his Soul Power with Sealed Milk Bottles while searching the deep sea for the seal.
• Xu Xiao realized Poseidon might have hidden the seal in the water itself and used his Double Pupil to locate the Power of Destiny.
• Xu Xiao dug twenty-three meters beside a patch of seaweed, found the seal, and placed it in a box from his Storage Ring.
• Xu Xiao wondered how he would return from one hundred thousand meters underwater.

Xu Xiao slowly ascended from the deep sea, forming layers of water-pressure balance that strengthened his body while he evaded currents and a giant soul beast. After surviving the Deep Sea Hegemon Octopus King's attack, he completed nine layers and transformed from a mortal body into a Demigod Body.

• Xu Xiao swam upward through the crushing pressure, carefully detouring around a dangerous Deep Sea Dark Current.
• The Deep Sea Hegemon Octopus King awakened and attacked Xu Xiao with hundreds of tentacles as he approached the ninety-thousand-meter depth.
• Xu Xiao escaped upward, formed another water-pressure balance layer, and used the sealed object from Bo Saixi's treasure box to break the octopus king's tentacles and frighten it away.
• Xu Xiao continued ascending past dark currents and other soul beasts until his body completed nine water-pressure balance layers.
• A pearly-white glow broke the shackles on Xu Xiao's mortal body, transforming him into a Demigod Body.
