Chapter Summaries

Ye Feng and the four women awakened on a platform above the abyss at the entrance to Hell Road. As they planned how to cross safely without a rope, Ning Rongrong suggested using their clothes to make one, leaving Qian Renxue opposed and Ye Lingling quietly in favor.

• Ye Feng awkwardly climbed off Qian Renxue, Hu Liena, and Ye Lingling after accidentally pressing against them as the group woke up.
• Qian Renxue, Hu Liena, and Ye Lingling surveyed the blood-red abyss and recognized Hell Road, while Ye Feng and Qian Renxue identified the Yellow Spring Dew below as the accumulated Soul Power of Slaughter City's failed challengers.
• Qian Renxue proposed taking the upper path to clear dangers for those who would follow, and Hu Liena suggested tying the five together with a rope.
• Ye Feng admitted that he had not brought a rope because he had expected them all to pass through together, and Hu Liena suspected he had done so deliberately.
• Ning Rongrong proposed binding their clothes together as a substitute rope; Qian Renxue rejected the idea, while Ye Lingling quietly supported it and Ye Feng wondered if it would help him win over the women.

Qian Renxue joined Ye Feng, Ye Lingling, Hu Liena, and Ning Rongrong on the dangerous Hell Road, where the group used their clothes to make a safety rope. When Ning Rongrong sensed a familiar aura in Qian Renxue, Qian Renxue feared that her old identity as Xue Qinghe might come to light and realized why Ye Feng had urged her to end her disguise.

• Qian Renxue and Hu Liena hesitated over Ning Rongrong's plan to make a rope, but Hu Liena removed her outer clothes while Qian Renxue chose not to join the rope.
• Ning Rongrong, Ye Lingling, and Hu Liena made a fifteen-meter rope from their clothes, tied themselves together, and set off along the Hell Road with Ye Feng and Qian Renxue.

• Qian Renxue explained that the increasing heat meant they were nearing the Yellow Springs, and Ning Rongrong said Qian Renxue's aura felt familiar.

• Ye Feng identified a huge snake with nine red protrusions as the Ten Headed Fierce Yang Serpent.

Qian Renxue battled the Ten Headed Fierce Yang Serpent while Ye Feng watched until its Inner Core forced her down onto the bridge. Ye Feng took flight and launched thirteen thousand swords at the connection between the serpent and its Inner Core.

• Ye Feng explained that the Ten Headed Fierce Yang Serpent had combat strength comparable to a hundred-thousand-year soul beast, and Qian Renxue began fighting it alone.
• Qian Renxue used Angel Domain and her Six-Winged Angel Avatar, but the serpent resisted her attacks until Ye Feng revealed the nine protrusions on its back as weak points.

• Ye Feng awoke alone on a high platform and found that Divine Slaughter’s Domain had changed his eyes and given him a new ability.
• Ye Feng used the ability on a blue eagle, killing it and erasing its soul, then realized his new domain could trap weaker spiritual powers and absorb them as nourishment.

Ye Feng revealed that his Eye of Hell had evolved into a third Martial Soul with the Hell Domain, then tested its power on Qian Renxue. After the domain trapped her in an ancient battlefield, his first soul skill, Purgatory, overwhelmed her with a blood sea and attacking corpses, leaving her shaken despite her Angel Domain.

• Ye Feng confronted a black-robed stranger at the gate, who revealed herself as Bibi Dong.

• Ye Feng discovered that Bibi Dong had remained in Slaughter City for more than a year to protect him and the others, and he embraced her.

• Xiao Wu, Hu Liena, and Qian Renxue revealed they had arrived while Ye Feng and Bibi Dong were at the hotel.
• Qian Renxue left in distress, while Hu Liena asked whether she should call Ye Feng Master-Grandfather; Ye Feng let her keep calling him Ye Feng, making her visibly relieved.

Ye Feng planned to leave for Sea God Island with Qian Renxue the next day, while he and Bibi Dong began a private farewell.

Ye Feng and his companions investigated a deserted village and found that Wolf Bandits had slaughtered its men and abducted its women and girls. They rescued the captives and defeated the bandits, and Xie Yue spotted a soul bone as the chapter ended.

• Ye Feng sent Zhu Zhuqing and Zhang Ping to investigate the suspicious, empty village.
• Zhu Zhuqing and Zhang Ping found piles of male villagers' corpses, and Qian Renxue tracked the Wolf Bandits toward the back mountain.

• Ye Feng's companions killed the remaining bandits and rescued the women and girls, while Ye Lingling healed the wounded.
• Xie Yue spotted a soul bone.

Ye Feng and his companions dealt with Xie Yue’s dangerous new soul bone ability, then continued their journey to Vast Sea City and boarded a ship for Sea God Island. Qian Renxue suspected that their captain and crew were pirates as the chapter ended.

• Xie Yue absorbed a right leg soul bone that let him enter a berserk state, but he lost control and attacked Hu Liena until Qian Renxue restrained him with Angel Domain and knocked him unconscious.
• After helping the village bury its dead, Ye Feng and his companions gave money to the surviving women and girls, and Qian Renxue proposed establishing a relief fund for impoverished farmers.
• Ye Feng and his companions explored Vast Sea City before boarding the Sea Demon, captained by Haider, to travel to Sea God Island.
• Qian Renxue observed the crew’s unusual strength and agility and concluded that they were likely pirates.

Ye Feng forced Haider and his pirate crew to take his group to Sea God Island by holding Haider’s son hostage. After seventeen days at sea, they reached the island, where Haider released his son and hoped its Sea Soul Masters would deal with the newcomers.

• Ye Feng exposed Haider’s crew as pirates and used his group’s strength and Haider’s captured son to make them agree to sail to Sea God Island.

Ye Feng and his companions reached Sea God Island and crossed the Sea in the Sea to qualify for the Sea God's trial, but Seahorse Douluo refused to accept anyone from Spirit Hall. Ye Feng's envy of the island's Sea Soul Masters triggered the system, which sent a silver streak crashing down toward Seahorse Douluo.

• A purple-clothed Sea Soul Master warned Ye Feng and his companions that Land Soul Masters could not pass Sea God Island's trials, but Ye Feng insisted on meeting the Holy Pillar Guardian.
• Seahorse Douluo required them to cross the Sea in the Sea before receiving the Sea God's trial.
• Qian Renxue and the others who could fly bypassed the water, while Ye Feng crossed through the air using Qi Aura; the remaining companions swam across.
• Seahorse Douluo declared that they had passed, then ordered the Spirit Hall members to leave Sea God Island.
• Ye Feng envied the Sea Soul Masters' unconditional access to the assessment, prompting the system to send a silver streak toward Seahorse Douluo.

• Lightning repeatedly struck Seahorse Douluo, and the Sea God was punished when he tried to stop it.
• Seahorse Douluo apologized to Ye Feng and the others, believing they were guests of the Sea God, and offered to begin their tests.

• Seahorse Douluo explained that Black Level Tests were extremely difficult and normally required land Soul Masters to complete one trial each year.
• Zhu Zhuqing revealed that her first trial had a lifetime time limit.

Ye Feng and his companions received their Sea God tests, and Shui Bing'er was chosen to inherit the Sea God through the unprecedented Sea God Nine Tests. Bo Saixi arrived to recognize Shui Bing'er as the inheritor and then watched Ye Feng, curious whether he would receive the same tests.

• Seahorse Douluo learned that Zhu Zhuqing's first test had a lifetime time limit and concluded that the group were honored guests of the Sea God.
• Ye Feng's companions received tests ranging from Black Level Four Tests to Top Level Red Tests.
• Shui Bing'er's test turned golden, forming a trident mark on her brow and revealing that she had received the Sea God Nine Tests.
• Bo Saixi appeared, told Shui Bing'er that she was the Sea God's inheritor, and welcomed Qian Renxue's greetings on behalf of Qian Daoliu.
• Bo Saixi sensed an unusual aura and great talent in Ye Feng, then instructed Seahorse Douluo to continue the tests.

Ye Feng’s Sea God Nine Tests evolved into a mysterious Creation God First Test after his system reacted to his envy of Tang Chen. Bo Saixi and Seahorse Douluo were left uncertain about the gray test, whose sole task was to conquer Sea God Island.

• Seahorse Douluo activated the Seahorse Holy Pillar, and blood-red light and upheaval across Sea God Island signaled that Ye Feng was receiving a divine test.
• Bo Saixi speculated that the Sea God might be making Shui Bing'er and Ye Feng compete to become his successor.
• Ye Feng envied Tang Chen’s Asura God Test, prompting his system to evolve his Sea God Nine Tests.
• The golden light halted, drew tiny traces of energy from those around Ye Feng, and turned gray before entering his brow with the message, “Conquer Sea God Island.”
• Ye Feng told Bo Saixi that he had received the Creation God First Test, leaving her and Seahorse Douluo astonished and unsure what it meant.

Ye Feng asked Bo Saixi to take him to Sea God Island’s Raging Wave Desperate Situation so he could temper his body before condensing his seventh soul ring. Bo Saixi brought him to the forbidden valley, where Ye Feng prepared to begin his self-chosen training.

• Bo Saixi announced that Ye Feng and Shui Bing'er were honored guests and warned Shui Bing'er to complete her divine trial on time.
• Ye Feng asked Seahorse Douluo to take the group directly to the trials, but then chose to go instead to the Tidal Body Tempering site while his companions headed for the Sea God’s steps.
• Ye Feng summoned Bo Saixi and explained that he had delayed condensing his seventh soul ring, hoping body tempering would let him obtain soul rings with a higher age limit.
• Bo Saixi flew with Ye Feng to Raging Wave Desperate Situation and explained how the relentless waves had compressed its rocks into a dense, iron-hard valley.
• Ye Feng told Bo Saixi that visiting the valley was his own request, not a requirement of his divine trial, and urged her to begin.

Ye Feng cultivated for a year in Sea God Island’s Raging Wave Desperate Situation to complete his god test by conquering the forbidden zone. After enduring the waves until they no longer challenged his body, he broke through to the Vast realm of spiritual power and increased his affinity with the Creation God by one percent.

• Ye Feng asked Bo Saixi to help him cultivate in the Raging Wave Desperate Situation for a year, explaining that he hoped to complete his god test by conquering the forbidden zone.
• Bo Saixi calmed the waves and raised the Sunken Silver Pillar, and Ye Feng jumped onto it to begin Tidal Body Tempering.
• Ye Feng endured the waves for five days in his first session, then gradually increased his endurance until he could remain on the pillar day and night.
• Ye Feng continued training until the waves no longer improved his physique, then merged his awareness with the waves and broke through to the Vast realm of spiritual power.
• Ye Feng told Bo Saixi that his affinity with the Creation God had increased by one percent.

After nearly ten months of Tidal Body Tempering, Ye Feng stopped when it no longer helped and condensed multiple million-year soul rings through cultivation. Bo Saixi discovered that Ye Feng had three Martial Souls, including a crimson eye whose killing aura she suspected belonged to the Asura God.

• Ye Feng told Bo Saixi that he had received a divine trial from the Creation God, then said Tidal Body Tempering could no longer help him and began cultivating.
• Ye Feng condensed a brilliant golden million-year Seventh Soul Ring and then an Eighth, raising his Soul Power Level to eighty-six.
• Ye Feng revealed his Xuanyuan Sword Martial Soul, and five more brilliant golden million-year soul rings appeared around it.
• Bo Saixi realized Ye Feng had Twin Martial Souls and wondered whether she could still suppress him without the sea's power.
• A red soul ring appeared around Ye Feng as he revealed a third Martial Soul, a crimson eyeball; Bo Saixi suspected it might be the eye of the Asura God.

After spending years cultivating fourteen million-year Soul Rings, Ye Feng returned to Sea God Mountain to conquer Sea God's Light and raise his Creation God affinity. He set himself the goal of climbing 1,001 steps and began ascending with ease, astonishing Xiao Wu.

• Ye Feng summoned his three Martial Souls and reflected on the years he had spent cultivating fourteen million-year Soul Rings.
• Ye Feng reached Sea God Mountain and reunited with Xiao Wu, who told him the others were making their final attempt at Sea God's Light.
• Qian Renxue, Hu Liena, Ning Rongrong, and Huo Wu completed their 136-step tests and each gained a rank of Soul Power.
• Ye Feng learned Xiao Wu had completed her test long ago but had not used Sea God's Light to cultivate because she could not endure the tedium.
• Ye Feng explained that he planned to conquer Sea God's Light to increase his Creation God affinity, setting a goal of 1,001 steps.
• Ye Feng stepped onto the stairs and climbed upward as though walking on level ground, leaving Xiao Wu astonished.
