Lin Yu and the Worship Hall removed Bibi Dong as Pope and named Qian Renxue the new Pope and Empress of the Spirit Hall Empire. Bibi Dong refused to yield, so Lin Yu kicked her from the throne, leaving the assembled leaders stunned by his power.

• The gathered officials marveled that Lin Yu, an eight-ring Spirit Douluo, had defeated Bibi Dong despite her level 98 strength.

Lin Yu defeated Bibi Dong but could not kill her because of her Undying Body and the Rakshasa God's protection, so he forced her to surrender the papal throne and remain under watch. Qian Renxue founded the Spirit Hall Empire, became its Empress, and appointed Lin Yu Grand Marshal as the empire prepared to declare war on Heaven Dou and Star Luo in six months.

• Lin Yu severed Bibi Dong's left arm and attacked again, but the Rakshasa God's power blocked his killing blow.
• Lin Yu slapped Bibi Dong, stripped her of the Nine-Curved Purple Gold Crown, and forced her to abandon the papacy; she left Spirit Hall in disgrace.

• Star Luo’s officials warned the emperor that their armies could not withstand Spirit Hall’s Titled Douluo, so he ordered them to find the Clear Sky Sect and offer any terms for its support.

• Ten days later, Tang San absorbed two Clear Sky Hammer soul rings of nearly twenty thousand and over twenty thousand years, raising his Soul Power from level fifty-three to the peak of level fifty-five.

After three months, his army had occupied two-thirds of its territory and was advancing on Barak City, while Lin Tian’s forces also continued to defeat the Star Luo Empire’s allies.

• Lin Yu's forces gained the upper hand until Sword Douluo used Myriad Swords Returning to Origin to rain Seven Kill Swords on them and kill many soldiers.

Sword Douluo ambushed Snake Lance and Pufferfish during the battle, but Lin Yu intervened before he could kill them. Lin Yu then challenged Sword Douluo, provoked him with the truth about the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's destruction, and met his attack with the Fire God's Sword.

• Sword Douluo struck Snake Lance and Pufferfish with his Third Spirit Ability, badly injuring them and knocking them to the ground.

• The enemy army’s morale collapsed after Sword Douluo died, and the battle beneath Barak Royal City was effectively decided.

After Lin Yu killed Sword Douluo and captured Barak Royal City, he broke through to Level 90 and set out for the Star Dou Great Forest to find Gu Yuena. The Heaven Dou Empire struggled to face the Spirit Hall Empire’s advance, while Tang San was shaken by Lin Yu’s growing strength.

• Lin Yu pulled the Light God's Spear from Sword Douluo, took his soul bones, and slaughtered thousands of enemy soldiers until the Heaven Dou army fled Barak Royal City.

Lin Yu entered the Star Dou Great Forest's Pocket Dimension to meet Gu Yuena, but her Seven Great Fierce Beasts attacked him to keep him away. After defeating six of them, Lin Yu fought Beast God Di Tian, and the battle left them evenly matched amid the ruined surroundings.

• Lin Yu reached the Pocket Dimension and found Di Tian, Lord Bear, Bi Ji, Scarlet King, Myriad Demon King, Zi Ji, and Yao Ling waiting to stop him from seeing Gu Yuena.

• Di Tian acknowledged Lin Yu’s strength and challenged him to survive the Dragon God’s Claw for the chance to meet Gu Yuena.
• Lin Yu summoned the Fire God’s Sword, Water Control Heavenly Staff, Wind God’s Moon Blade, and Light God’s Spear to meet Di Tian’s strongest attack.

• Di Tian brought Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, who explained the method for forming a Wisdom Spirit Ring.
• Gu Yuena divided her true power in half, and one half formed a Wisdom Spirit Ring that Lin Yu began absorbing along with her Divine Head Spirit Bone.
• Lin Yu’s Soul Power rose from Rank 90 to Rank 95, his Spirit Bone Set surpassed 3.16 million years in total, and he gained the Ninth Spirit Ability Elemental Divine Punishment.
• Gu Yuena judged that Lin Yu could kill any Rank 100 Divine Official and might defeat weaker Third-Level Deities, while Lin Yu resolved to settle things with Bibi Dong.
• Bibi Dong felt an overwhelming sense of unease inside the Papal Palace.

Bibi Dong fled Spirit City with Rakshasa God's help while Lin Yu completed the Elemental God's Eighth Assessment and reached Level 96. He returned to Spirit City, where Qian Daoliu and the others were stunned by his divine aura and questioned how strong he had become.

• Rakshasa God warned Bibi Dong that Lin Yu could kill her, so she fought past the Enshrined Elders and escaped Spirit City.
• Qian Jun and Jiang Mo reported Bibi Dong's escape to Qian Daoliu, who decided to wait until Qian Renxue became a god to pursue her.

After learning Bibi Dong had fled Spirit City, Lin Yu returned to the front and conquered two more divine artifacts, though the Dark God Blade resisted him. Two months later, he began his campaign into Heaven Dou territory and destroyed its fortified border city with one sword strike, demanding the defenders submit to the Spirit Hall Empire.

• Lin Yu learned that Bibi Dong had escaped Spirit City hours earlier and decided to postpone pursuing her while Qian Renxue continued her trials.

• Lin Yu shattered Heaven Dou Border City with a single sword strike and demanded that its defenders kneel and swear allegiance to the Spirit Hall Empire.

As the Spirit Hall Empire expanded across Douluo Continent, Tang Xiao brought Tang San back to the Clear Sky Sect so he could acknowledge his ancestors and learn the Nine Ultimate Hao Tian. The Seventh Elder rejected him, and Tang San was beaten down in the sect hall.

• Lin Yu's victory prompted many Heaven Dou soldiers to surrender, and the Heaven Dou Empire and Star Luo Empire retreated from their capitals as the Spirit Hall Empire took control of most of the continent.
• Tang San reached level 64 and strengthened his martial souls and techniques, while hoping to learn the Nine Ultimate Hao Tian before entering the City of Slaughter.
• Tang Xiao brought Tang San to the Clear Sky Sect, where the Seventh Elder insulted Tang San and his parents and demanded that he kneel.
• Tang San stopped Tang Xiao from intervening and tried to meet the Seventh Elder's attack, but the Elder's hammer overwhelmed him and knocked him to the ground.

Tang San was driven from the Clear Sky Sect, then entered the City of Slaughter to vent his resentment. Lin Yu returned to Spirit City and contacted the Seven Elemental Gods to ask how he could save Qian Daoliu, but they said interfering with the Angel God’s inheritance was inappropriate.

• The Seventh Elder beat Tang San and rejected his request to return to the Clear Sky Sect, despite Tang San revealing that he was an Asura God inheritor.

• The Fire God told Lin Yu that Qian Daoliu’s sacrifice was the duty of the Angel God’s High Priest and that the Seven Elemental Gods were reluctant to interfere.

Lin Yu learned from the Seven Elemental Gods how he could help Qian Daoliu open the Angel God's Gate of Inheritance, despite the serious cost to his health and his own path to godhood. He returned to Spirit City as Qian Renxue prepared to begin her final trial, while Qian Daoliu warned her that Bibi Dong and Tang San could become gods at any time.

• The Seven Elemental Gods explained that Lin Yu could combine his power with Qian Daoliu's partial opening of the Gate of Inheritance and their remaining Divine Sense to open it for Qian Renxue, though doing so would severely weaken him.
• Lin Yu agreed to take the risk and thanked the Seven Elemental Gods for their help.
• Lin Yu left his sea of spirit and returned to Spirit City several days later.

• Qian Daoliu warned Qian Renxue that Bibi Dong might attain the Rakshasa Godhood at any time and that Tang San was also a god inheritor.
