Chapter Summaries

Ye Qiu exploited the Sea God’s Light to cultivate, then climbed to the ninetieth step with Ning Rongrong’s support. He proposed combining the group’s abilities to help one member finish the trial, but insisted they wait so the others would not lose the pressure’s benefits too soon.

• Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong, Shui Yue'er, and the other girls climbed the Sea God’s Light steps, with Xiao Wu advancing quickly under Ning Rongrong’s support.

• After the girls retreated, Ye Qiu asked how far they had climbed and reassured Dugu Yan that Ning Rongrong could still complete her assessment.
• Ye Qiu explained that their support skills and domains could be combined to help one person pass the trial, and Ning Rongrong recognized the plan’s similarity to the Seven-in-One fusion skill.
• Huo Wu urged them to try the plan immediately, but Ye Qiu said they should wait because he did not want anyone to feel the Sea God’s Light become easy too soon.

Ye Qiu explained that the Sea God’s Light was meant to strengthen the group, so they should delay completing the first trial and use the full year to cultivate. Bo Saixi confirmed his deduction, and the group chose to remain on the stairs to train, with food and clean water provided.

• Ye Qiu told Shui Yue'er and the others that rushing through the first trial would deprive them of the chance to build strength for the harder trials ahead.
• Shui Bing'er reasoned that the pressure of the Sea God's Light improved their cultivation and physical resistance, and Ye Qiu advised them to delay completing the trial until the final day.
• Bo Saixi appeared, praised Ye Qiu's insight, and confirmed that he had uncovered the purpose of the Sea God's Light.
• Zhu Zhuqing asked Bo Saixi to arrange food and drinking water so the group could stay and cultivate, and Shui Bing'er explained that they wanted to avoid wasting the year.
• Bo Saixi agreed to provide supplies and told them the nearby seawater was clean enough for washing.

Ten months of cultivation on Sea God Island greatly strengthened Ye Qiu and the others, while Ye Qiu reached Level 70 and gained the Evil God Domain. He began the trial for his seventh spirit ring, and Bo Saixi saw that it had started at sixty thousand years.

• After ten months of cultivation beneath the Sea God's Light, Ye Qiu and the others had raised their levels substantially, but Ye Qiu had already reached Level 70 and was waiting to claim his seventh spirit ring.
• Ye Qiu Teleported beyond the Sea God's Light and shattered the Dark Demon Evil God Pearl, revealing his Blue Silver Domain, Angel Domain, Divine Slaughter's Domain, and newly obtained Evil God Domain.
• Xiao Wu and the others withdrew from the Sea God's Light to watch Ye Qiu begin his God-given Spirit Ring trial, while Bo Saixi sensed his evil aura from Sea God Hall.
• Ye Qiu released all four domains and used them to face the trial, determined to obtain a red seventh spirit ring.
• Bo Saixi realized that Ye Qiu's trial had begun at sixty thousand years, already beyond the endpoint of an ordinary soul master's seventh spirit ring.

Ye Qiu endured the God-given seventh spirit ring trial as the others watched, and a mysterious divine presence surfaced within his blood-red vision. The chapter left him motionless after apparently succeeding, while Bo Saixi sensed another god’s aura.

• Ye Qiu released his Eight Spider Lances, right-leg Spirit Bone, and Four Great Domains to take control of the spirit ring trial.

• Bo Saixi sensed another god’s ominous aura vanish, while Ye Qiu remained seated and motionless like a blood-red statue.

After Ye Qiu spent ten days encased in a hardened scab, he emerged with a dark-golden glow and revealed a new domain and extraordinary transformations. The chapter left Xiao Wu and the others questioning how his Martial Soul Avatar could copy spirit beasts and their abilities.

• In the God Realm, the Evil God discovered that Asura was arranging godhood candidates and reported him to the God of Destruction, prompting an angry rebuke of Asura.

After eating and seeing the others’ progress, he began preparing for the next Asura trial and discovered that his body could now withstand far more of the Sea God’s Light.

• Ye Qiu explained that his Martial Soul Avatar could transform into anyone or any Spirit Beast he had possessed and replicate their skills, while its duration depended on his Soul Power.

Ye Qiu climbed the Sea God's Light to the 128th step, gauging his limits and considering how his fusion skills might help the girls complete their trials. After Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu teased Hu Liena into agreeing to be Ye Qiu's celebration feast, Ye Qiu and Hu Liena disappeared together that night.

• Ye Qiu climbed past his former limit and reached the 128th step, where he assessed the pressure and considered helping the girls with their trials through fusion skills.

• Xiao Wu and the others asked about Ye Qiu’s trial, and he summoned his martial soul to show them his new spirit-ring configuration.

Ye Qiu and the girls began clearing their Sea God trials, using his Venom fusion skills and their support to overcome the Sea God's Light. After the other girls earned their trial rewards, Ye Qiu and Ning Rongrong pushed toward the Three Hundred and Thirty-Three Steps, reaching the Two Hundred and Fifty Steps as Shui Yue'er, Shui Bing'er, and Huo Wu supplied them with Soul Power.

• Ye Qiu told the girls his Third Trial required him to reach level 80 within a year, then urged them to cultivate for another month.

• Shui Yue'er, Shui Bing'er, and Huo Wu joined their Soul Power with Ye Qiu and Ning Rongrong as Bo Saixi watched in astonishment.

Ye Qiu and Ning Rongrong led a Six-in-One Spirit Fusion Skill that carried their group up Sea God Mountain, completing their first trials and earning cultivation boosts and rewards. As their second trial began, they learned they had to cross the Ring Sea without harming its Spirit Beasts, and Ning Rongrong could not use the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud.

• Ye Qiu and Ning Rongrong absorbed Soul Power from Shui Bing'er, Huo Wu, and Shui Yue'er, then joined Xiao Wu, Dugu Yan, Zhu Zhuqing, and Hu Liena in a Six-in-One Spirit Fusion Skill.

• After the group recovered, their second trials began: they had to break through the Ring Sea blockade without harming any Sea Spirit Beasts, and Ning Rongrong discovered that the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud was restricted.

Ye Qiu entered the Ring Sea to scout a route through its blockade, where the seawater weakened his abilities and drained his Soul Power. He overcame an attack by a swarm of Arrowfish without harming them, but had advanced only a little over twenty meters toward the far shore.

• Hu Liena and Ye Qiu discussed the Ring Sea trial and the danger posed by the Devil Soul Great White Shark King, while Ye Qiu reassured the group that their teamwork could get them across.
• Ye Qiu set out alone to scout, and Ning Rongrong boosted him as he entered the Ring Sea and discovered that its water restricted his movement, weakened his detection, and accelerated his Soul Power consumption.
• More than a hundred Arrowfish surrounded Ye Qiu and charged, threatening to injure themselves against him despite the trial's ban on harming Sea Spirit Beasts.
• Ye Qiu used his domains and the wind power of the Dark Demon Evil God Pearl to create a vortex that spun the Arrowfish dizzy without injuring them.
• Ye Qiu steadied himself and continued through the Ring Sea, having progressed only a little over twenty meters while he studied the underwater conditions.

Ye Qiu tested the Ring Sea’s restrictions and learned that its Hundred-Thousand-Year Great White Shark King was meant to obstruct, not kill, the trial participants. He organized the girls to cultivate Martial Soul Fusion Skills, and the chapter ended when the shark transformed into a young woman before them.

• Ye Qiu discovered that the Ring Sea reduced his teleportation to five meters before the Great White Shark King drove him out of the water.
• Ye Qiu and the girls concluded that the shark was guarding the crossing and could serve as a sparring partner to improve their combat abilities.

• Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong formed a prototype Fusion Skill, while Ye Qiu worked to help Shui Bing'er and Huo Wu reconcile their opposing attributes.
• After a month of being ignored while the group cultivated by the shore, the Great White Shark King charged out of the Ring Sea and transformed into a young woman.

Ye Qiu and the others met Xiao Bai, the Great White Shark King of the Devil Soul, who recognized Xiao Wu as a transformed Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast and explained how sea beasts could take human form. Xiao Bai became their sparring opponent, and the group began training every day in the Ring Sea to prepare for their trials and future underwater battles.

• Xiao Bai scolded Ye Qiu and the others for neglecting their sea trial and treating her like a pet, then recognized Xiao Wu as a transformed Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast.
• Xiao Bai promised to keep Xiao Wu’s identity secret, explained that she would not go easy on them in the trial, and revealed that fish-type Sea Spirit Beasts could take human form but weakened outside the water.
• Xiao Bai introduced herself and returned to the Ring Sea, and Ye Qiu decided that the group would continue practicing their Martial Soul Fusion Skills while adapting to combat in seawater.
• Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, and the others agreed to treat their encounters with Xiao Bai as practical combat training and began recovering their Soul Power before returning to the sea.
• The group trained underwater every day and steadily improved their swimming and combat abilities, while Xiao Bai attacked everyone except Xiao Wu and most fiercely targeted Ye Qiu.
• Xiao Wu realized that Hundred-Thousand-Year Sea Spirit Beasts were especially powerful in the ocean and could be difficult even for several Titled Douluo to defeat.

Shui Bing'er and the others continued their Second Trial battles against Xiao Bai, showcasing their Martial Soul Fusion Skills before Xiao Bai defeated them and Ye Qiu retaliated by clinging to her wound. Bo Saixi refrained from intervening after Sea God stopped her, while Sea God watched Ye Qiu and decided to warn him about Destruction.

• After two months of daily battles in the Ring Sea, Shui Yue'er advanced in cultivation and the group demonstrated several powerful Martial Soul Fusion Skills against Xiao Bai.
• Xiao Bai sent Xiao Wu, Hu Liena, Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, Dugu Yan, Shui Yue'er, Huo Wu, and Shui Bing'er flying out of the Ring Sea, but Ye Qiu remained locked in combat with her.
• Ye Qiu used his Blue Silver Emperor vines to cling to Xiao Bai's abdominal wound, provoking her with lightning and taunts as she tried to shake him off.
• Bo Saixi sensed Xiao Bai losing control and prepared to intervene, but Sea God stopped her, so she stayed seated in Sea God Hall.
• Sea God watched Ye Qiu's fight from the God Realm and decided to warn him about Destruction while Asura was unavailable.

Ye Qiu tormented the Great White Shark King of the Devil Soul until she returned to shore furious and attacked him. The women realized he had survived her punch using his martial soul, but Xiao Bai continued her assault.

• The Great White Shark King of the Devil Soul descended deep into the Ring Sea, where the venom and lightning overwhelmed her and triggered a violent eruption of energy.
• An undercurrent hurled Ye Qiu out of the sea, and he told the women that Xiao Bai might still be sinking.
• Xiao Bai leaped from the Ring Sea, transformed into human form, and threatened to punish Ye Qiu while the women tried to calm her.
• Ye Qiu stopped the women from intervening and let Xiao Bai punch his head off, frightening everyone at the shore.
• Shui Bing'er spotted Ye Qiu's head melting back toward his body along a black thread, and Xiao Bai recognized his feigned death before kicking at him.

The Sea God intervened when Xiao Bai attacked Ye Qiu, forcing her to apologize and apparently compensate him. As Ye Qiu reassured his companions, the Sea God spoke with him privately and revealed his own lecherous nature.

• Xiao Bai's attack on Ye Qiu was stopped by the Sea God's Light, which blasted her away.
• Xiao Bai kowtowed to Ye Qiu and apologized after the Sea God reprimanded her and ordered her to comply with something.
• Xiao Bai plunged into the Ring Sea, while Ye Qiu's companions gathered around to check that he was unharmed.
• The Sea God spoke privately with Ye Qiu and called him perverse for laying hands on a Demon Soul Great White Shark.
• Ye Qiu teased the Sea God, who accidentally revealed that he had once peeped at a widow bathing before denying it.

The Sea God warned Ye Qiu that the God Realm had discovered Asura's arrangement to help him obtain a god position, and the Destruction God King had demanded a trial by combat. Ye Qiu learned he would face the Destruction God King's three moves after inheriting the Asura god position, then resolved to prepare for the challenge.

• Ye Qiu asked why the Sea God had waited to intervene when Xiao Bai attacked him, and the Sea God said he had wanted to give Xiao Bai an explanation.
• The Sea God revealed that the Destruction God King had called for judgment after discovering Asura's and the God of Speed's deal, but the Evil God King and Life God King helped negotiate a compromise.
• The Sea God told Ye Qiu that after he inherited the Asura god position, the Destruction God King would descend and test him with three moves, while allowing Ye Qiu's women to ascend if they met their gods' requirements.
• Ye Qiu worried that a newly ascended god could not withstand a God King's attacks, but the Sea God pointed to the Multiple-in-One Spirit Fusion Skill and Asura's prepared helper as sources of hope.
• The Sea God said Ye Qiu had time to prepare and had adjusted the rewards for his later trials before ending their contact.
• Ye Qiu thanked the Sea God, vowed to withstand the three moves, and resolved to become stronger.

After learning that the Sea God’s trials would require the group to grow stronger, Ye Qiu planned to leave Sea God Island after reaching level 80 to seek spirit rings. He told Xiao Wu he would negotiate with two Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts and seek their willing sacrifice, promising not to target Da Ming and Er Ming.

• Ye Qiu concealed the details of his conversation with the Sea God and urged the girls to grow stronger so they could pass their trials.
• Ye Qiu announced that he might leave Sea God Island after reaching level 80 to seek true Ten Thousand Year Spirit Rings for his Eighth and Ninth Spirit Rings.
• Ning Rongrong, Dugu Yan, and Hu Liena offered to ask their relatives and teacher for help, but Ye Qiu said he did not need their support.
• Ye Qiu told Xiao Wu that he planned to negotiate with the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts he had chosen and would not force them if they refused.
• Ye Qiu promised Xiao Wu that he would not target Da Ming and Er Ming or let anyone harm her younger brothers, and Xiao Wu said she believed him.

Ye Qiu and the women trained to develop Trinity Spirit Fusion Skills, and Shui Bing'er, Huo Wu, and Zhu Zhuqing succeeded. The Great White Shark King of the Devil Soul, Xiao Bai, then came ashore and approached Ye Qiu, leaving her intentions unclear.

• Bo Saixi told Ye Qiu that the Sea God had allowed him to enter and leave Sea God Island freely.
• Ye Qiu proposed that the women practice Trinity Spirit Fusion Skills and advised Shui Bing'er and Huo Wu to adapt their existing fusion with him before gradually removing him.
• For half a month, Ye Qiu and the women trained while Xiao Bai watched them from the Ring Sea.
• Shui Bing'er, Huo Wu, and Zhu Zhuqing successfully formed a Trinity Spirit Fusion Skill, with Zhu Zhuqing serving as the vessel for their combined powers.
• Xiao Bai transformed into human form, came ashore, and slowly approached Ye Qiu as the women watched.
