He planned to pursue the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King for his Eighth Spirit Ring and went to the Worship Hall to discuss the hunt with Qian Daoliu and Qian Renxue.

• Lin Yu tested the Seven Elemental Gods' artifacts, then chose the Fire God's Sword and spent three days gaining control of it.
• Lin Yu struggled for a month to claim the Water Control Heavenly Staff, then completed the Seventh Assessment with both divine artifacts in hand.
• The assessment increased Lin Yu's spirit ring ages and set his next task: reach level 90 and gather all spirit bones within five years.
• Lin Yu decided to target the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King for his Eighth Spirit Ring, but concluded he would need help to kill the nearly demigod-level beast.
• Lin Yu left for the Worship Hall to find Qian Daoliu and Qian Renxue and discuss the deep-sea hunt.

Lin Yu planned to hunt the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King and assembled a powerful team to travel west, while also considering bringing his fellow Worship Hall members to Sea God Island for training. After Gu Yuena explained the island’s dangers, Lin Yu began assessing whether the others were capable of making the journey.

• Lin Yu told Qian Daoliu and the others he intended to hunt the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King, and Qian Daoliu agreed to accompany him with several powerful experts.
• Qian Daoliu chose Qian Renxue, Golden Crocodile Douluo, Azure Luan Douluo, Radiant Feather Douluo, and Lin Yu for the expedition, while assigning others to guard Spirit City.

• Lin Yu confirmed that reaching Sea God Island was nearly a deadly ordeal for land spirit masters.

Lin Yu offered to take Spirit Hall's young geniuses to Sea God Island, but first made them test whether they could withstand the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud's power. Shui Bing'er succeeded and gained the Mark of God, making her the Sea God's likely successor, and the group prepared to leave despite Qian Daoliu's warning that Sea God Island might reject Spirit Hall members.

• Lin Yu told the group that training on Sea God Island could rapidly strengthen them and said they had to earn the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud's recognition to go.

• Qian Daoliu and Qian Renxue warned Lin Yu that Sea God Island might refuse Spirit Hall's geniuses because of Spirit Hall's past attack.

• Lin Yu assured Qian Daoliu that he could bring their geniuses to Sea God Island, and Qian Daoliu agreed to let him lead the group.
• Bibi Dong hunted three powerful Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest and vowed to become a god within five years and kill Lin Yu and the Worship Hall.
• After reaching Vast Sea City, Lin Yu and Qian Renxue found a local merchant who owned the Dragon Abyss Boat and bought it for twenty Gold Soul Coins.
• Lin Yu and his companions set sail aboard the Dragon Abyss Boat and traveled through the ocean, driving off Sea Spirit Beasts that attacked them.
• After a month at sea, Lin Yu and the others approached the Demon Whale Sea and sensed danger amid the corpses and bones beneath the water.

Lin Yu and the others entered the Demon Whale Sea and drew out the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King to begin their planned battle. The enormous beast surfaced and confronted them, leaving the young fighters aboard the Dragon Abyss Boat shocked by its size.

• Lin Yu ordered Shui Bing'er and the others to remain aboard the Dragon Abyss Boat under the Vast Sea Body Protection Cover while he, Qian Renxue, Qian Daoliu, Golden Crocodile Douluo, Azure Luan, and Light Feather went to face the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King.
• Qian Daoliu assigned himself and Golden Crocodile Douluo to fight the whale while Azure Luan and Light Feather supported them, and Lin Yu and Qian Renxue used their domains to suppress it.
• Lin Yu slashed the sea with his Angel Evil Lightning Sword to provoke the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King and draw him out.
• The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King awakened, rushed toward the surface, and roared at the humans who had entered his territory.
• The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King burst from the water, revealing his immense sapphire-colored body and one blind eye, while the young fighters watched in fear and Gu Yuena dismissed his size as a disadvantage.

Qian Daoliu and Golden Crocodile Douluo joined forces to fight the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King while Lin Yu revealed that the whale’s size would become a weakness if their attacks could pierce its defenses. The battle escalated as the two Limit Douluos unleashed their Martial Soul Avatars, and Golden Crocodile Douluo charged at the whale.

• Gu Yuena explained that the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King’s enormous body would be a liability once humans could damage its skin.

• Lin Yu told the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King that they had come to hunt it for its spirit ring, and the whale answered with Demonic Whale Tsunami.
• Qian Daoliu and Golden Crocodile Douluo recalled their old battles together and activated their Martial Soul Avatars.
• Qian Daoliu split the tsunami with Sacred Sword, and Golden Crocodile Douluo charged the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King with Fierce Golden Crocodile.

Qian Daoliu, Golden Crocodile Douluo, Radiant Feather Douluo, and Azure Luan Douluo fought the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King, with Lin Yu and Qian Renxue joining the fight by activating their domains. As the Demonic Whale King faced defeat in his true form, he transformed into a semi-human form with demigod armor and a powerful hammer.

• Qian Daoliu used his Sacred Sword to pierce the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King's defenses and wound him while Golden Crocodile Douluo drew his attention.
• Radiant Feather Douluo and Azure Luan Douluo supported Qian Daoliu and Golden Crocodile Douluo with an ice arrow and a control ability, allowing the four Worship Elders to heavily injure the Demonic Whale King.

• The four Worship Elders continued to wound the Demonic Whale King, who refused to flee despite falling into a disadvantage.
• The Demonic Whale King used Energy Armor Transformation to compress into a semi-human form, manifesting armor from his million years of cultivation and taking up an Eight-Edged Plum Blossom Hammer.

Lin Yu intervened in the battle between the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King and Qian Daoliu’s group, revealing a divine sword as he rescued Azure Luan Douluo. After the Whale King underestimated Lin Yu, Lin Yu summoned a second divine artifact, the Water God’s Water Control Heavenly Staff, leaving the Whale King shocked.

• The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King fought Qian Daoliu, Golden Crocodile Douluo, Azure Luan Douluo, and Radiant Feather Douluo for hours in its semi-human form.
• The Demonic Whale King switched targets and hurled a hammer at Azure Luan Douluo, while Qian Daoliu and Golden Crocodile Douluo attacked it from behind.
• Lin Yu blocked the hammer with a flaming divine sword and then protected Azure Luan Douluo from another strike with his Invincible Golden Body.
• The Demonic Whale King sensed divine power in Lin Yu and believed devouring him would let it become a god.
• The Demonic Whale King ignored Lin Yu and turned to face Qian Daoliu and Golden Crocodile Douluo, so Lin Yu summoned the Water God’s Water Control Heavenly Staff and drew the surrounding seawater toward it.

Lin Yu and Qian Renxue joined forces with Qian Daoliu, Golden Crocodile Douluo, and the other worship elders to defeat the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King. After the whale king unleashed his final attack, Lin Yu struck him with the fused power of the Fire God's Sword and Water Control Heavenly Staff, leaving him barely alive and floating in the sea.

• Lin Yu used the Water Control Heavenly Staff to severely wound the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King, but the whale king refused to flee and attacked again.
• Lin Yu and Qian Renxue activated their Angel God Venerate martial soul fusion skill and joined Qian Daoliu and Golden Crocodile Douluo in overpowering the whale king.

• Lin Yu fused the Fire God's Sword and Water Control Heavenly Staff through Angel God Venerate and hurled the divine artifacts at the whale king.
• The fused divine artifacts pierced the whale king's eye and body, leaving him barely alive as he floated motionless on the sea.

After the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King died, Lin Yu absorbed its near-million-year soul ring and torso bone despite the danger of its power and resentment. He subdued the whale’s lingering spirit and began rapidly advancing in Soul Power.

• The dying Deep Sea Demonic Whale King learned that the God Realm had sealed the soul beasts’ path to godhood and died in despair.
• Gu Yuena resolved to recover her divine consciousness and considered Lin Yu her best hope of reaching the Golden Dragon King and becoming the Dragon God.

• The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King's resentment attacked Lin Yu in his Spiritual Sea of Consciousness, but Lin Yu seized and crushed it.
• Lin Yu stabilized and continued absorbing the ring's energy as his Soul Power rose past level 84.

After absorbing the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King's soul ring and torso bone, Lin Yu reached level 85 and awakened four powerful soul skills. His six soul bones then fused into Spirit Bone Armor, briefly raising his strength to the level of a Limit Douluo, before he set off for Sea God Island with his companions.

• Lin Yu completed his absorption of the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King's soul ring and torso bone, reaching level 85 and gaining four soul skills.
• Lin Yu's six soul bones resonated and fused into Spirit Bone Armor through the power of his Ice and Fire Divine Dragon Wings.
• Qian Daoliu explained that Lin Yu's armor drew its enormous strength from soul bones totaling more than 1.7 million years.
• Lin Yu withdrew the armor and traveled with Qian Renxue, Qian Daoliu, Golden Crocodile Douluo, Shui Bing'er, and Feng Xiaotian toward Sea God Island.
• Several days later, the Dragon Abyss Boat entered the Ring Sea, where the Demon Soul Great White Shark Clan noticed its approach.

Lin Yu defeated Xiao Bai with one punch after she blocked the Dragon Abyss Boat, then landed on Sea God Island with Qian Renxue, Feng Xiaotian, Shui Bing'er, and the others. The Seven Sacred Pillar Guardians confronted them on the shore, led by Sea Dragon Douluo.

• Several Demon Soul Great White Sharks attacked the Dragon Abyss Boat, and Lin Yu wounded them and drove them away.

• The Seven Sacred Pillar Guardians surrounded the group, and Sea Dragon Douluo demanded to know why they had come.

• Lin Yu greeted the Seven Sacred Pillar Guardians and admitted that he had injured Xiao Bai.
• Lin Yu asked the Guardians to let his group take the Sea God's Trials, but Sea Dragon Douluo refused and ordered them to leave.

• Lin Yu revealed that the group came from Spirit Hall, provoking the Seven Sacred Pillar Guardians to angrily reject their request.
• Sea Dragon Douluo counted down, released his martial soul, and charged Lin Yu; Lin Yu met his punch head-on.

Lin Yu defeated Sea Dragon Douluo and heavily injured all seven Sacred Pillar Guardians with one attack before facing Bo Saixi, Sea God Island’s High Priest. After testing their strength, he and Bo Saixi stopped fighting, and Qian Daoliu reunited with her as old feelings and memories surfaced.

• Lin Yu sent Sea Dragon Douluo flying with a punch and revealed his powerful eight-ring spirit configuration.
• The Seven Sacred Pillar Guardians joined forces against Lin Yu, but he used the Deep Sea Dragon Transformation Strike to heavily injure all seven.

• Qian Daoliu greeted Bo Saixi, who recalled their shared past with Tang Chen and told Qian Daoliu he should not have returned to Sea God Island.

Lin Yu used Shui Bing'er’s Heart of the Ocean to compel Bo Saixi and Sea God Island to let the group take the Sea God trials, and Poseidon declared Shui Bing’er his successor. The assessment began at the Seahorse Sacred Pillar, where Huo Wushuang and Huo Wu received black-level trials.

• Bo Saixi ordered Qian Daoliu and Spirit Hall to leave Sea God Island, but Lin Yu insisted they would be allowed to stay.
• Shui Bing’er released the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud, and Poseidon appeared and ordered Bo Saixi to let the group undergo the trials.

• Huo Wushuang received a Black Level Four Trial, and Huo Wu received a Black Level Five Trial.

Dugu Yan received the Red Level Seven Trials, while Shui Bing'er received the Sea God's Nine Trials, and the group spent two days exploring Sea God Island before beginning their assessments.

• With war nearing, Lin Yu, Qian Renxue, Qian Daoliu, and the Enshrined Elders boarded the Dragon Abyss Boat to return to the continent, while the others stayed behind for their assessments.
• On the departing boat, Lin Yu asked Gu Yuena why she had come along when she had neither taken the Sea God's assessment nor stayed on the island.

Lin Yu and Gu Yuena discovered that combining their powers of the Seven Elements greatly accelerated their cultivation, but Lin Yu exposed Gu Yuena as the Silver Dragon King and confronted her about using him to heal. They agreed to discuss cultivating together, while both remained wary and Gu Yuena secretly prepared to abduct him.

• Gu Yuena proposed that she and Lin Yu cultivate together because their Seven Elemental powers complemented each other.
• Lin Yu and Gu Yuena meditated back to back and found that their combined power accelerated his Soul Power growth and her recovery.
• Gu Yuena realized Lin Yu might become a god before her divine consciousness recovered and considered abducting him.
• Lin Yu stopped meditating and identified Gu Yuena as the Silver Dragon King, accusing her of using his power to recover her injuries and divine consciousness.
• Gu Yuena feigned confusion, then agreed to discuss cultivating together while secretly gathering power to break her seal and abduct Lin Yu.

Lin Yu and Gu Yuena agreed to cooperate in dual cultivation after he promised to delay ascending to the God Realm, and his Soul Power reached level 86. He then won the Light God's Spear, alarming the Seven Elemental Gods as he moved toward inheriting a third divine position.

• Lin Yu told Gu Yuena he could wait to ascend after becoming a god, so she abandoned her plan to abduct him and agreed to work with him.
• Lin Yu and Gu Yuena resumed dual cultivation, accelerating his cultivation, and Lin Yu reached level 86 after one week.
• Lin Yu entered the Inheritance Space and decided to pursue a third divine artifact, choosing the Light God's Spear to counter Bibi Dong's Rakshasa divine power.
• Lin Yu pulled the Light God's Spear from the ground in less than three minutes and declared success.
• The Light God's Spear's power alerted the Seven Elemental Gods, who realized Lin Yu had claimed another divine artifact.

Lin Yu obtained the Light God's Spear and Wind God's Moon Blade, giving him four divine artifacts, while the Seven Elemental Gods debated how far he could go. After returning to Spirit City, he learned Spirit Hall was preparing to establish an empire and replace Bibi Dong as Pope.

• The Seven Elemental Gods watched as Lin Yu claimed the Light God's Spear, then began attempting to control the Wind God's Moon Blade.
• Lin Yu unleashed the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King's power and, after three days and nights, conquered the Wind God's Moon Blade, achieving Four Gods United.
• The Seven Elemental Gods were astonished by Lin Yu's progress but doubted he could unite all seven gods; Lin Yu vowed to keep pursuing that goal.
• Lin Yu examined his four divine artifacts and decided he had enough power to confront Bibi Dong before leaving the Inheritance Space.
• After three months at sea and on the road, Lin Yu and his companions returned to Spirit City, where Spirit Hall was preparing to establish an empire and reclaim the Pope's throne from Bibi Dong.

Lin Yu prepared the Judgment Hall to deal with Tang San and the Clear Sky Sect while Spirit Hall moved toward war and unification. After Qian Renxue and Lin Yu grew stronger, Bibi Dong announced the founding of the Spirit Hall Empire, unaware that most of its powerful factions had already pledged themselves to Lin Yu.

• Lin Yu ordered his subordinates to keep searching for Tang San and the Clear Sky Sect, watch the routes to the City of Slaughter, and continue seeking Tang Yuehua.
