Chapter Summaries

Tang San slaughtered a Spirit Hall Branch in the Star Luo Empire and revealed that Xiao Wu’s rejection and Fang Ling’s rapid growth had driven him to cultivate through devouring. With Tang Xiao’s support, he set out to target nobles who had colluded with Spirit Hall or the Heaven Dou Empire.

• Tang San recalled that Xiao Wu’s rejection and Fang Ling’s terrifying progress had pushed him to abandon restraint and devour others to grow stronger.
• Tang Xiao urged Tang San to steady his heart, but Tang San insisted that he had to become powerful enough to face Fang Ling and protect the Star Luo Empire.
• The Asura Demon Sword cleared Tang San’s mind, and he told Tang Xiao they would devour nobles who had betrayed the empire by colluding with Spirit Hall or the Heaven Dou Empire.

Tang San carried out a disguised massacre in the Star Luo Empire while the Clear Sky Sect ambushed Spirit Hall reinforcements, and the continent’s factions continued to realign. Over three years, Fang Ling fought sea soul beasts to strengthen himself while the five women advanced through their Sea God trials, with Dugu Yan and Hu Liena reaching level eighty-five.

• Tang San slaughtered people across the Star Luo Empire under a hidden identity, and Clear Sky Sect elders killed a Spirit Hall force and let him devour them before retreating into seclusion.

• Dugu Bo reached level 95, while Fang Ling fought waves of powerful sea soul beasts and used the battles to advance his combat skills, Warrior’s Will, Death Domain, and Points.
• Over three years, the five women passed the first three Sea God trials; Dugu Yan reached level eighty-five with three Hundred-Thousand-Year Spirit Rings, and Hu Liena reached level eighty-five with one.

After the Third Trial, the women rested on Sea God Island while Ning Rongrong delayed choosing her Seventh Soul Ring. Fang Ling returned, negotiated with the Sea God over his slaughter of Sea Soul Beasts, and entered the island, leaving Tang Chen to seek Bo Saixi before he went to Dugu Yan.

• After completing the Third Trial, Zhu Zhuqing, Ye Lingling, and Ning Rongrong recovered while preparing for the Fourth Trial, and Ning Rongrong postponed using her God-bestowed Spirit Ring.
• Half a month later, Fang Ling returned to Sea God Island after dealing with the murderous aura surrounding him.
• The Sea God confronted Fang Ling for killing his followers, but Fang Ling argued that humans could provide faith for Dugu Yan's future Sea God inheritance.
• The Sea God ultimately allowed Fang Ling onto the island, accepting the path to godhood he had chosen.
• Fang Ling summoned Tang Chen's undead to search for Bo Saixi, then sensed the women's locations and appeared before Dugu Yan.

After three years away, Fang Ling returned to Sea Horse City and reunited with the women, promising to explain his progress toward godhood later. He planned to visit Dugu Bo and investigate Spirit Hall’s Soul Hunting Operation, while Ning Rongrong confessed that she could not bear to miss him.

• Fang Ling embraced Dugu Yan on his return, and she asked about his journey and how long it would take him to become a god.

• Ning Rongrong hugged Fang Ling, said she had the others’ approval, and confessed that she could not bear to miss him.

Fang Ling presented Ning Rongrong with the Lovesick Heartbreak Red, but she failed to earn its acknowledgment, then revealed 161 Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bones for the women to choose from. He also explained that his soul rings and full set of spirit bones had been upgraded to divine levels, and reviewed his immense expenditure of more than 17.4 million Points as the women began selecting bones.

• Fang Ling let Ning Rongrong try to pick the Lovesick Heartbreak Red, but it shook and remained attached to its stone.
• Fang Ling used his Eighth Spirit Ring to seal the hall in a Time-Space Domain and revealed 161 spirit bones that were at least Hundred Thousand Year level.
• The women noticed Fang Ling's unusual gray-gold and patterned soul rings, and he explained their divine power and the Points he had spent upgrading them.
• Fang Ling told the women that all the spirit bones in his body had become Million Year Spirit Bones, bringing his total expenditure above 17.4 million Points.
• Dugu Yan and the others began choosing suitable spirit bones, while Fang Ling separated them with Time-Space Power and reviewed his Stats Panel.

Fang Ling examined the million-year soul bones and the evolved abilities that made him increasingly difficult to harm and vastly more powerful. He strengthened his Divine Soul with Undead God Kingdom and considered expanding his undead forces with souls from the Underworld once he reached the God Realm.

• Fang Ling reviewed his million-year soul bones and found that his physical strength had surpassed 600,000 jin.
• Fang Ling gained Blood Rebirth from the Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone, allowing him to revive from a drop of blood.
• Fang Ling’s other soul bones granted God Golden Body, Dominion, Nothingness, Soul Shriek, and the fate talent Auspiciousness.
• Fang Ling combined the Cluster Redfin Fish torso bone’s energy circulation specialty with Soul Gathering Core, enabling him to wield the power of linked undead but risking damage to his body.
• Fang Ling evolved Undead Kingdom into Undead God Kingdom, which could hold two million undead and convert Heaven and Earth Origin Power into Death God Power.
• Fang Ling considered using the souls in the God Realm’s Underworld to expand his undead kingdom after he became strong enough.

Over three years, Fang Ling’s Stats Panel strengthened his domains and Death God abilities, while the 760,000 undead in his Undead God Kingdom generated Faith Points that could let him become a god in less than three years. He judged himself nearly invincible on Douluo Continent but avoided confronting the injured Silver Dragon King, turning instead toward the fallen Dragon Kings’ souls at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

• Fang Ling reviewed his talents, noting that Death Domain had reached Level 9 and gained powerful death, space-time sealing, and Soul Ring suppression abilities.
• Fang Ling’s Level 7 Warrior’s Domain gained the Burning talent, which could turn allies into berserk fighters by removing their combat restraints at the cost of their lives.
• Fang Ling discovered that his 760,000 undead fanatics could generate two million Faith Points a year, giving him a new path to godhood far faster than ordinary cultivation.
• Fang Ling assessed his strength and concluded that he could face nearly anyone on Douluo Continent, but chose not to provoke the injured Silver Dragon King.
• Fang Ling decided that the souls of the two Dragon Kings fallen at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well would enter his Undead God Kingdom.

After Ning Rongrong absorbed her soul bones, she stayed behind and became intimate with Fang Ling. A month later, Fang Ling decided to temper the women’s confidence by taking them to witness his battle with the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King, and he confronted the sleeping beast in its sea territory.

• The women absorbed all their Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bones, and Ning Rongrong stayed behind to be intimate with Fang Ling.
• Over the next month, Fang Ling trained the women to use their new soul skills and warned them that they were not ready to challenge the Evil Orca King.
• Fang Ling proposed that the women watch a battle against the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King, and Dugu Yan used Sea God’s Light to secure their passage beyond Sea God Island.
• Fang Ling gathered the women, Bo Saixi, and Xiao Bai, then teleported the group near the Demon Whale Sea Area.
• Fang Ling entered the sea area alone, awakened the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King with his Death Godly Intent, and called it out.

Fang Ling tested the Nothingness skill against the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King, then challenged the sea ruler to a direct battle. As the whale king launched a near-full-strength attack, Fang Ling formed armor from his many divine Soul Bones to make up for his inferior Divine Body.

• The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King attacked Fang Ling with a massive water column, which Fang Ling absorbed with Nothingness and returned without harming the whale king.
• The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King recognized Fang Ling as the God of Death Inheritor and questioned whether he had come to kill it.
• Fang Ling canceled Nothingness, revealed the Scythe of Death, and provoked the whale king into fighting him without help from Bo Saixi or the others.
• The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King struck Fang Ling with a powerful blue-violet attack, using the ocean's force and its nearly fully transformed Divine Body.
• Fang Ling summoned armor from his Soul Bones, including the Nothingness wolf head, Eye of Fate, and divine leg and torso armor.

Fang Ling manifested his God Bone Armor, whose power let him overpower the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King and withstand his attack. After Fang Ling revealed the armor was a God Equipment Prototype and dismissed the cost of using it, the whale king launched a desperate charge.

• Fang Ling's God Bone Armor appeared, provoking a life-suppressing phenomenon that frightened the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King and unsettled those watching.
• The Sea God recognized the armor as Million Year God Bone Armor rather than Divine Equipment and wondered how Fang Ling had obtained it.
• Fang Ling's strength doubled as the armor formed over his right arm, and his punch shattered space and sent the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King tumbling across the sea.
• The whale king tried to negotiate, but Fang Ling explained that the armor's use cost him only Soul Power and declared that he would take the whale king into his Undead God Kingdom.
• The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King charged Fang Ling in desperation.

Fang Ling fought the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King, withstanding his god-level attacks and reversing time after he self-destructed. After demonstrating his power, Fang Ling used Soul Seizure to tear out the whale king’s soul and kill him.

• Fang Ling used Divine Invincible Golden Body and Time-Space Power to withstand the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King's charge, then countered his concentrated water attack with the Scythe of Death.
• The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King tried multiple attacks, realized Fang Ling was testing his abilities, and self-destructed in a final attempt to kill Fang Ling and the nearby spectators.
• Fang Ling activated Time-Space Domain, repaired the spatial rift, and reversed time to restore the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King and undo the explosion.
• Fang Ling revealed his extraordinary spirit ring configuration and encouraged the restored Deep Sea Demonic Whale King to attack with full force.
• Fang Ling used Soul Seizure to tear the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King's soul from his body and kill him.

Fang Ling turned the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King's near-god spirit ring and soul bone into foundations for his undead rather than absorbing them himself. He gave the whale's corpse to Xiao Bai's Demon Soul Great White Sharks and uncovered a golden treasure in its brain that carried traces of god-level power.

• Fang Ling tested his upgraded Soul Capture Chains on the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King, then hoped Tang San would ascend to godhood so he could claim him for the Undead God Kingdom.
• Tang San reached level 89 in seclusion, resolved to return to Slaughter City and devour the Magma Blood River, and vowed to kill Fang Ling after becoming the Asura God.
• Fang Ling examined the Near-God Spirit Ring forming from the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King's remains and decided to convert it into Death Attribute power for his undead instead of absorbing it.
• Fang Ling let the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King's torso Soul Bone merge into its soul while the women watched.
• Fang Ling gave the whale's corpse to Xiao Bai and the Demon Soul Great White Sharks, then removed the whale brain and sensed god-level power within it.

Fang Ling divided the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King's god-level whale brain among the women, whose cultivation and comprehension improved as they refined it and formed Soul Cores. Dugu Yan led the successful Fourth Trial against the Evil Orcas, and the group then completed the Fifth Trial, leaving the women ready for their next challenge.

• Fang Ling gave the women equal portions of the whale brain and stored the Whale Pearl in the Undead God Kingdom to help it advance.
• Over eight months, the women refined the whale brain, improving their abilities; Fang Ling discovered that their comprehension had also increased.
• With Fang Ling's guidance, Dugu Yan and Hu Liena condensed second Soul Cores, while Zhu Zhuqing and Ye Lingling formed their first Soul Cores and Ning Rongrong absorbed a Hundred Thousand Year Seventh Soul Ring.
• Dugu Yan poisoned and defeated the Evil Orca King while the others and the Demon Soul Great White Sharks wiped out the remaining Evil Orcas without casualties.
• The Fourth Trial's reward raised Ning Rongrong's soul ring by one level and gave the other women a level of Soul Power, after which they began and completed the Fifth Trial.
• Dugu Yan and Hu Liena dominated the Fifth Trial, while Zhu Zhuqing defeated each Holy Pillar Guardian Douluo despite progressing more slowly.

Dugu Yan and her companions passed the Fifth Trial and began the Sixth Trial against the Seven Holy Pillar Guardian Douluos. Their overwhelming strength and teamwork secured victory, though the trial required them to withstand the guardians for the time it took an incense stick to burn.

• The women returned after defeating the Pillar Guardian Douluos in the Fifth Trial, and Dugu Yan revealed that the Sixth Trial required the five of them to withstand the Seven Holy Pillar Guardian Douluos for the time it took an incense stick to burn.
• A week later, Sea Dragon and the other six guardians launched a coordinated assault at the Ring Sea, using a tsunami, spiritual music, poison, and an illusion domain.
• Dugu Yan transformed into a true dragon and challenged Sea Dragon, while Hu Liena unleashed Bewitching Storm and shattered Sea Illusion Douluo's domain.
• Zhu Zhuqing supported Dugu Yan's attacks, while Ye Lingling neutralized the guardians' poison and Ning Rongrong provided support.
• The five companions overwhelmed the Seven Holy Pillar Guardian Douluos with their hundred-thousand-year soul skills and won the battle.

Dugu Yan began the Seventh Trial by drawing the Sea God Trident, with Ning Rongrong enhancing her and Ye Lingling healing her as she endured the weapon’s scorching power. She managed to lift the trident, but the trial remained underway as she continued to pour Sea God’s Light into it.

• After the Sixth Trial, the Sea God rewarded the women with stronger spirit rings and Soul Power, and Ning Rongrong advanced from Lv79 to Lv80.
• Dugu Yan learned that her Seventh Trial was to draw the Sea God Trident, while Ning Rongrong and Ye Lingling were assigned to assist her and Zhu Zhuqing and Hu Liena received separate sea-beast hunts.
• Six days later, Dugu Yan, Ning Rongrong, and Ye Lingling entered Sea God Hall, where Bo Saixi warned Dugu Yan that she would have only one chance to pull the trident free and must not let go.
• Ning Rongrong enhanced Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling prepared healing as Dugu Yan gripped the Sea God Trident and activated Sea God’s Light.
• The trident’s power burned Dugu Yan and made her hands bleed, but Ye Lingling’s healing helped her endure as she forced the weapon upward.
• Dugu Yan continued channeling her Spiritual Power through the trident mark, weakening the resistance as the Sea God Trident rose from its platform.

Dugu Yan endured the Sea God Trident’s blood, Soul Power, and Spiritual Power drain, fitted the Heart of the Sea God into it, and finally pulled the divine artifact free. The awakening produced a vast Sea God Phantom resembling Dugu Yan, while Qian Renxue sensed another god’s aura and learned it came from Sea God Island.

• Dugu Yan used her blood to awaken the Sea God Trident’s patterns as Ye Lingling and Ning Rongrong supported her, and Fang Ling explained that the blood infusion would let her control it.
• Dugu Yan discovered the trident’s empty diamond-shaped socket and used the Sea God’s Light to draw out the Heart of the Sea God, which transformed into a gemstone that fit the opening.
• With her strength nearly spent, Dugu Yan joined her effort with the Heart of the Sea God and pulled the trident free, igniting the Sea God Hall and shaking Sea God Mountain.
• A golden pillar rose from the Sea God Hall and joined the Seven Holy Pillars’ light, forming a Sea God Phantom in the sky as creatures across the ocean bowed toward Sea God Island.
• Fang Ling folded away the Sea God Hall’s roof, and those present saw the phantom’s face take on Dugu Yan’s appearance.
• Qian Renxue sensed another god’s aura, and Qian Daoliu identified it as the Sea God; Bibi Dong also sensed the event, while Tang San remained unaware inside the Half-Plane.

Tang San cultivated in Slaughter City, reaching the peak of Lv96 as his hatred for Fang Ling intensified, while Dugu Yan passed the Sea God’s Seventh Trial and began preparing to leave Sea God Island. After the others completed their trials and absorbed their rewards, Fang Ling finished adjusting his Soul Cores and was ready to depart.

• Tang San refined the Magma Blood River’s energy, reached the peak of Lv96, and vowed to torture Fang Ling after becoming the Asura God.
• Dugu Yan passed the Sea God’s Seventh Trial, and Fang Ling used Life Godly Power to restore her strength.
• Ye Lingling and Ning Rongrong received God-bestowed Spirit Rings and, after absorbing them over three months, reached levels ninety-two and eighty-seven respectively and condensed Soul Cores.

• Fang Ling merged his time and space Soul Core attributes into a Space-Time Soul Core, replaced another core with destiny, and prepared to leave Sea God Island.

Fang Ling returned to Dugu Manor with his companions after four years away, stunning Dugu Bo with their cultivation and divine inheritance. He gave his teacher several Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bones, then left to escort the others home while Dugu Bo prepared to absorb them.

• Fang Ling teleported back to Dugu Manor with his companions, where Dugu Bo sensed their powerful auras and realized his disciple had returned.
• Dugu Bo welcomed Fang Ling home and learned that he had reached level 99 and expected to become a god within a year.
• Dugu Yan revealed her level 93 cultivation, the Sea God Trident, and her plan to inherit the Sea God's God Position after reaching level 99.
• Zhu Zhuqing and the other women showed Dugu Bo their cultivation, while Hu Liena's level 97 shocked him.
• Fang Ling gave Dugu Bo several Poison Attribute Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bones and told him the group had more than a hundred such bones in the Undead God Kingdom.
• Fang Ling left to send his companions home, and Dugu Bo hurried back to his cultivation chamber to absorb the Soul Bones.

Fang Ling brought Ye Lingling home and gave her parents Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bones, then visited the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and gifted Ning Fengzhi and others more. After Dugu Bo absorbed Soul Bones and reached Lv96, Fang Ling took him and Hu Liena to Spirit City, where they arrived before the Pope's Palace.

• Fang Ling healed everyone at Benevolent Heart Hall with Life Godly Power, then gave Ye Renxin and his wife compatible Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bones; Ye Lingling stayed to protect them as they absorbed the gifts.
• Fang Ling brought Ning Rongrong back to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, where she revealed she had reached level 87 and become a Soul Douluo.

• Qian Renxue confronted Hu Liena with her level 98 aura, but Hu Liena, now level 97, withstood the pressure and revealed that Dugu Yan was inheriting the Sea God’s divine position.
• Qian Renxue and Hu Liena argued over Fang Ling and challenged each other, but Bibi Dong ordered them to fight outside the city to avoid damaging Pope’s Palace.
• Fang Ling and Bibi Dong followed Qian Renxue and Hu Liena outside the city, while Spirit Hall’s elders and other spectators hurried after them.
• Dugu Bo boasted to Yue Guan that he had reached level 96 after receiving Fang Ling’s help and taking the Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng.
