• At dawn, the storm subsided, and the Sea Demon resumed its eastward course with the Eight Devils more confident in their teamwork.

Tang San and the Shrek Eight Devils fought a pack of ten-thousand-year Demon Soul Great White Sharks attacking the Sea Demon. As the sharks formed a whirlpool that threatened to drag the ship under, Tang San ordered the group to change tactics and disrupt the water flow.

The Shrek Eight Devils encountered five Evil Spirit Orcas while sailing toward Sea God Island and fought them off. As they fled, Tang San feared the retreating leader had called the nearby orca pack, leaving the Sea Demon racing to escape a larger attack.

• Tang San learned from Haider about the dangers of Evil Spirit Orcas and warned the group to stay alert as they sailed toward Sea God Island.
• Oscar, Tang San, and Xiao Xiaoxiao detected signs of a violent battle nearby, and Haider identified the waters as territory frequented by Evil Spirit Orcas.

• Tang San directed Xiao Xiaoxiao to disrupt the weakest orca, allowing Dai Mubai, Zhu Zhuqing, and Ma Hongjun to cripple it while the group fought the others.
• The lead Evil Spirit Orca retreated with three survivors after the Shrek Eight Devils wounded them, and Tang San suspected it had sent a distress signal.
• Haider warned that the orca pack's main territory was nearby, so Tang San ordered the Sea Demon to sail at full speed away from the area.

Tang San led the Shrek Eight Devils in a desperate escape from the Evil Orca King and its pod. They found temporary refuge in a mysterious glowing sea that the orcas feared to enter, but an unknown danger or discovery awaited within.

• Xiao Xiaoxiao sensed the Evil Spirit Orcas closing in on the Sea Demon, and the Evil Orca King surrounded the ship with its pod.
• Tang San ordered Ma Hongjun to blast an orca aside, then led the Shrek Eight Devils through the gap while Xiao Xiaoxiao shielded their retreat.

• Tang San spotted a pale-blue glow and directed the group toward it, where the pursuing orcas stopped at an invisible boundary.
• Xiao Xiaoxiao sensed a peaceful, ancient power in the glowing waters, and the Evil Orca King withdrew while Tang San felt something calling from deeper within.

After escaping the violent outer sea, Tang San and his companions followed Xiao Xiaoxiao’s Spirit Fox-guided summons through a maze of barriers and illusions to Sea God Island. Seahorse Douluo stopped them at the island’s sacred platform and ordered them to reveal their Martial Souls and Soul Power to determine whether they could receive a trial.

• Xiao Xiaoxiao sensed an ancient summons within the sheltered waters, and the group recovered before following it deeper into the sea.
• Xiao Xiaoxiao used her Moonlight Domain and Spirit Fox senses to guide the group through hidden barriers and illusions.

• Seahorse Douluo appeared with several powerful guardians and subdued the group with his pressure.
• Tang San and his companions declared that they would accept Sea God’s trial, and Seahorse Douluo instructed them to touch the Sea Star Sacred Pillar and reveal their Martial Souls and Soul Power.

The Shrek Eight Devils received their Sea God Island trials, with Tang San earning the legendary Sea God Nine Trials and Xiao Xiaoxiao receiving a Top Level Five Trial. Seahorse Douluo welcomed them as honored guests and led them onto the island to learn the requirements of their first trials.

• Tang San and the Shrek Eight Devils approached the Sea Star Sacred Pillar and tested their Martial Souls and Soul Power.

Seahorse Douluo settled Tang San and the others on Sea God Island and explained their first trial: climbing assigned steps under the Sea God's Light within a year. The group tested the first step and began cultivating by the Ring Sea, leaving Xiao Xiaoxiao confident that she could reach her required two hundred and twenty steps.

• Seahorse Douluo showed the group their residences and assigned each person a target step count for crossing the Sea God's Light.
• Tang San and the others agreed to adapt to the island before attempting the trial, then visited the Ring Sea the next morning.
• Tang San tested the first step and warned the others that the Sea God's Light placed immense pressure on body, Soul Power, and spirit.
• Dai Mubai, Zhu Zhuqing, Ma Hongjun, Xiao Wu, Oscar, Ning Rongrong, and Xiao Xiaoxiao each stood on the first step and experienced its pressure.
• Xiao Xiaoxiao found that her Moonlight Domain and Spiritual Power helped her resist the pressure, while she recognized that the higher steps would be more difficult.
• The group retreated to cultivate at the Ring Sea, where Xiao Xiaoxiao resolved to climb her assigned two hundred and twenty steps.

The Shrek Eight Devils began climbing the white jade stairway under the Sea God's Light after several days of acclimating to its pressure. They found methods suited to their strengths, then settled into a punishing routine of climbing and cultivation that steadily strengthened them.

• Tang San urged the group to climb within their limits and asked Ning Rongrong to save her support for when it was needed.
• Dai Mubai reached the eighth step, while Zhu Zhuqing, Ma Hongjun, Oscar, Xiao Wu, and Ning Rongrong each tested their limits and retreated.
• Tang San climbed steadily to the thirtieth step using his physical strength and Mysterious Heaven Skill.
• Xiao Xiaoxiao used her Moonlight Domain to divert the pressure and reached the thirty-fifth step before retreating.
• The eight made climbing and recovery part of their daily routine, gradually improving their Soul Power, physical strength, and endurance.

After two months of training under Sea God's Light, the Shrek Eight Devils made major progress and shifted to individualized cultivation methods. Xiao Xiaoxiao discovered that her Illusion Technique could subtly interfere with Sea God's Light, opening a new approach as they continued preparing to complete their trials.

• Dai Mubai reached the 108th step, while Zhu Zhuqing, Xiao Wu, Oscar, and Ning Rongrong also improved their climbing records and abilities.
• Tang San reached the 200th step and sensed that the pressure beyond it tested Soul Power and will through infiltration and disintegration.
• Xiao Xiaoxiao climbed to the 180th step as her Moonlight Domain fused with Sea God's Light and gained greater resistance and energy-harmonizing effects.
• The group discussed how the pressure changed at higher steps, and Ning Rongrong proposed targeted training based on each person's strengths and trial requirements.
• Tang San assigned individualized afternoon training, and the group began practicing their respective techniques under pressure the next day.
• Xiao Xiaoxiao combined her Moonlight Domain with her Spirit Fox Martial Soul's Illusion Technique and found that she could slightly distort the pressure of Sea God's Light.

• Tang San broke through the pressure on the 251st step, reached the 254th, and was enveloped by a golden God-Bestowed Soul Ring pillar.

• Seahorse Douluo and the Shrek Eight Devils congratulated them, and the group prepared to resume the climb.

Tang San and Xiao Xiaoxiao continued climbing the Sea God’s Light as their companions’ extreme training culminated in a collective breakthrough to Soul Emperor level. Tang San reached the three-hundred-and-tenth step, while Xiao Xiaoxiao’s refined Moonlight Domain carried her to the two-hundred-and-seventieth step, leaving Seahorse Douluo to witness the team’s remarkable progress.

• Dai Mubai, Zhu Zhuqing, Ma Hongjun, Xiao Wu, Oscar, and Ning Rongrong broke through to Soul Emperor level and condensed their sixth soul rings under the pressure.

• Seahorse Douluo watched the eight Soul Emperors gathered at different heights and recognized that Sea God Island was entering an unprecedented era.

The Shrek Eight Devils completed their first Sea God trials after a year of training, with Tang San reaching the summit of Sea God Mountain and Xiao Xiaoxiao exceeding her trial requirement. After receiving their rewards and a month to recover, they prepared to face the Ring Sea’s hundred-thousand-year soul beast in the second trial.

• Dai Mubai, Zhu Zhuqing, Ma Hongjun, Xiao Wu, Oscar, and Ning Rongrong advanced to their required trial steps, while Xiao Xiaoxiao used Tidal Illusions to surpass her target.
• Tang San climbed to the 1,001st step and completed the first Sea God Nine Trial, while Xiao Xiaoxiao reached the 250th step and completed her first trial.

• Seahorse Douluo gave the group a month to rest before their second trials were revealed through their marks.
• The Shrek Eight Devils celebrated their success and learned that the next challenge would be the hundred-thousand-year soul beast guarding Sea God Island.

After completing the First Trial, the Shrek Eight Devils rested and explored Seahorse City, where some residents resented outsiders receiving the Sea God Nine Trials. They planned a month of training before the more dangerous Second Trial, while Tang San and Xiao Xiaoxiao continued studying their new powers.

• Seahorse Douluo brought the Shrek Eight Devils to a comfortable courtyard in Seahorse City and warned them to avoid causing trouble.
• After sleeping and recovering, the group ate seafood and learned from a restaurant owner that some islanders believed the Sea God inheritance should go to someone from the island.
• The group explored Seahorse City, bought supplies, and Tang San learned about Sea Soul Master equipment and the Ring Sea's guardian from a craftsman.
• That evening, the Shrek Eight Devils described their newly gained Sixth Soul Skills, and Tang San set a plan for individual morning practice and afternoon combat drills.
• Tang San watched Sea God Mountain and resolved to grow stronger, while Xiao Xiaoxiao experimented with combining Moon Tide Illusion and her transformed Moonlight Domain.

The Shrek Eight Devils began the second trial, which required them to cross the Ring Sea without flying or killing any Sea Soul Beasts. After a probe ended in a costly retreat and the Evil Orca King appeared to patrol the blockade, Tang San decided they needed a careful plan.

• The eight received the second trial’s rules and agreed to investigate the Ring Sea the next morning.
• Tang San discovered that the sea was filled with organized schools of powerful Sea Soul Beasts, including the Evil Orca King near the opposite shore.
• Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing entered the water to test the blockade while the others supported them from shore, but they were soon overwhelmed and forced to retreat.
• The Evil Orca King surfaced, surveyed the group, and sank back into the depths without attacking.
• Tang San concluded that forcing their way through would not work and called for a meticulous plan.

Tang San and Xiao Xiaoxiao devised a plan to use the Ring Sea’s tides and illusions to confuse the Sea Soul Beast army and open a path. Their team broke through the first line of defense, but the Evil Orca King awoke, setting up a greater trial.

• Tang San proposed amplifying the Ring Sea’s tides while Xiao Xiaoxiao used Moon Tide Illusion to frighten and confuse the Sea Soul Beasts.
• The Shrek Eight Devils spent three months training their illusion, tidal control, combat coordination, and support skills.
• Tang San guided the sea’s currents as Xiao Xiaoxiao cast Moon Tide Illusion, throwing the Sea Soul Beast army into panic.
• Dai Mubai, Zhu Zhuqing, and Xiao Wu charged through the confused beasts while Ning Rongrong, Ma Hongjun, and Oscar supported them.
• The three attackers pierced the first line of defense and reached a reef-covered area, while the Evil Orca King awoke in response to the disturbance.

The Shrek Eight Devils fought through the Ring Sea blockade under the Evil Orca King's attack and reached the far shore. They passed the second trial, but Xiao Wu was unconscious and Xiao Xiaoxiao and Tang San were badly weakened as the third trial awaited them.

• The Evil Orca King's pressure nearly shattered Tang San and Xiao Xiaoxiao's illusion and trapped Dai Mubai, Zhu Zhuqing, and Xiao Wu between it and the pursuing Sea Soul Beasts.
• Tang San's Sea God Aura frightened the Sea Soul Beasts and unsettled the Evil Orca King, giving Dai Mubai, Zhu Zhuqing, and Xiao Wu a chance to race toward the far shore.
• The Evil Orca King charged after them, and Xiao Wu used her Invincible Golden Body to shield Dai Mubai, taking the impact and falling unconscious on the shore.
• Xiao Xiaoxiao struck the Evil Orca King's spiritual core with Moonlight Soul Freeze, giving Tang San time to carry her and pull the others across the Ring Sea.
• Seahorse Douluo declared the second trial passed, and eight beams of light restored the group's strength while the third trial remained ahead.

After receiving their second trial rewards, Tang San and the others began Tidal Body Refining at Furious Waves Despair, where they had to endure violent tides while bound to Deep Silver Pillars. Three months into the trial, the Evil Orca King unexpectedly saved them from a devastating wave, leaving its reason for intervening unclear.

• The second trial's rewards raised the Shrek Eight Devils' Soul Power and strengthened Xiao Xiaoxiao's Spiritual Power and Moonlight Domain.
• Seahorse Douluo led the group to Furious Waves Despair and explained that they had to withstand the tides on Deep Silver Pillars for twelve hours each day.
• Tang San, Xiao Xiaoxiao, and the others bound themselves to the pillars and endured the crushing waves, gradually adapting and improving their physical strength.
• During a particularly fierce full-moon tide three months later, a colossal wave threatened the group, but the Evil Orca King rammed into it and shattered it.
• The Evil Orca King looked toward Tang San and Xiao Xiaoxiao before disappearing, while Seahorse Douluo wondered whether the Sea God's will had prompted its protection.

The Shrek Eight Devils endured the Sea God's final Heart of the Tide test after a year of Tidal Body Refining, while Xiao Xiaoxiao deepened her mastery of the Moonlight Domain and earned the Evil Orca King's respect. They survived the tidal assault and received powerful rewards as Seahorse Douluo declared their third trial passed.

• Over six months, the Shrek Eight Devils grew stronger through Tidal Body Refining, and Tang San refined his control of Sea God's Blessing.
• Xiao Xiaoxiao's Moonlight Domain resonated with the tides, and the Evil Orca King watched her enlightenment before quietly withdrawing at dawn.
• In the final month, the Heart of the Tide surged toward the Deep Silver Pillars, and Tang San led the eight in meeting the Sea God's final test.
• Xiao Xiaoxiao guided and absorbed the tidal force with her Moonlight Domain as the others unleashed their abilities, and all eight survived the impact.
• Eight powerful beams of light enveloped the Shrek Eight Devils, the Evil Orca King roared and vanished into the sea, and Seahorse Douluo announced that the third trial was passed.

The Shrek Eight Devils began their fourth Sea God trial, cultivating on the Sea God's Base in the Soul Forging Abyss to temper their Spiritual Power and willpower. They passed despite being threatened by the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King, whose gaze left them fearing a greater danger ahead.

• The Shrek Eight Devils recovered from Tidal Body Refining, and Tang San received the fourth trial's instructions to endure deep-sea pressure on the Sea God's Base.
• Tang San led the group into the Soul Forging Abyss, where he and Xiao Xiaoxiao began deep cultivation while their companions guarded the base and Ning Rongrong provided support.
• The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King appeared in the distance, and its terrifying pressure nearly overwhelmed Tang San and Xiao Xiaoxiao.
• Tang San summoned his Clear Sky Hammer and used its dominance to shield Xiao Xiaoxiao and the others from the whale king's pressure.
• The group completed the required trial hours, passed the fourth trial, and emerged with strengthened Spiritual Power as the whale king's gaze receded.
