Vol. 5Trials and Succession
Lin Du defeated Spirit Hall’s leadership, became Pope, and pursued power while Tang San trained, entered Slaughter City, and sought recognition from the Clear Sky Sect. The volume leaves Tang San with three difficult tasks and Dugu Yan named the Sea God’s successor after arriving on Sea God Island.
- Dugu Yan led World Creation Mountain Academy to victory over Spirit Hall, while Lin Du challenged Bibi Dong and left their fight unresolved after Eternal Scar and Black Mist disrupted the battle.
- Xiao Wu’s identity was exposed, and Lin Du claimed her and challenged Bibi Dong’s use of Spirit Hall resources before fighting her for the Pope’s seat.
- Lin Du became Pope, gained the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings’ power, and fought Di Tian before returning to Spirit Hall.
- Tang Hao restored Tang San’s arm and trained him until he reached the level-fifty bottleneck, then told him to wait for another Spirit Ring until he reached the Spirit Emperor realm.
- Tang San learned how Ah Yin sacrificed herself and that Lin Du and Dugu Yan had taken her Right Leg Bone, then entered Slaughter City.
- Tang San won one hundred arena victories and crossed the Hell Road, emerging with Divine Slaughter’s Domain before traveling with Tang Hao toward Heaven Dou City.
- Tang San gained a draw against the Seventh Elder at the Clear Sky Sect, then accepted three tasks required for Tang Hao’s return.
- Lin Du brought Dugu Yan and their companions to Sea God Island, where Bo Saixi named Dugu Yan the Sea God’s successor and Poseidon recognized Lin Du’s aura as belonging to a more powerful deity.
