On the way there, he sensed Jin'e Douluo and considered the strength Spirit Hall would need to attack the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.

• The Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud released blue energy, and a vast oceanic aura descended as Shui Bing'er began receiving its recognition.

Shui Bing'er gained the Vast Sea Power’s recognition, and Shen Hanyu led the group to Sea God Island so she could receive the Sea God trials. There, Shen Hanyu discovered that Bo Saixi had damaged her life force to keep Tang Chen alive, and Bo Saixi collapsed after insisting she would fulfill her role in opening the Path to Godhood.

• The Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud entered Shui Bing'er's brow, recognizing her and marking her as the Sea God's predetermined inheritor.

At the Sea Horse Sacred Pillar, the group began receiving their trials, with You Mengchu gaining the top-tier eight trials and Shen Liuyu receiving a red-and-gold mark.

Shen Liuyu was chosen for a divine trial, but Darkness God power clashed with spatial energy and the Sea Horse Sacred Pillar until Shen Hanyu forced the powers apart. Shui Bing'er then received the Sea God's Nine Trials, and Bo Saixi welcomed the group to Sea God Island as they began preparing for their trials.

• Darkness descended around Shen Liuyu as a god chose her and began granting her a trial.
• Spatial energy and the Sea Horse Sacred Pillar's power clashed with the darkness, injuring Seahorse Douluo until Shen Hanyu used the Cold Sky Spear to separate the forces and protect Shen Liuyu.

• The chapter revealed several chained ships drifting with barely any survivors after Sea Soul Beast attacks killed their guards and water-supply Soul Masters.

• The purple-haired girl and her protector watched Sea God Island's ships approach and discussed Shen Hanyu's overwhelming strength.

Xu Yuexuan and the refugees arrived on Sea God Island, where Shen Hanyu questioned her about the Sun Moon Empire and its Soul Tool development. She revealed that her brother had been murdered in a royal power struggle and agreed to aid Shen Hanyu if he helped destroy the empire.

• Demon Soul Great White Sharks approached the ship, but Sea God Island's Soul Masters sent them away and explained that their leader had once been Lord Sea God's mount.

• Bai Nian, Xue Ke, and the others began climbing Sea God Mountain while Shui Bing'er watched the trial’s effects.

• Shen Hanyu told the Snow Empress they would visit the deep sea and later upgrade the others’ equipment and change the colors of his first Soul Rings.

Shen Hanyu hunted powerful Sea Soul Beasts to raise the Cold Sky Spear’s Soul Rings and collect Soul Bones, then returned to Sea God Island to give Ye Lingling a Hundred-Thousand-Year Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone. After Ye Lingling’s new ability to regenerate severed limbs emerged, Shen Hanyu began replacing the girls’ inferior Soul Bones, leaving Shen Liuyu restrained as the Demon Queen prepared to break her leg and remove her old bone.

• Shen Hanyu and the Snow Empress hunted powerful Sea Soul Beasts for seven days, raising several of his Soul Rings and gathering more than ten Soul Bones.

The next morning, Shen Hanyu teased Ye Lingling before asking Bo Saixi where to find powerful sea Soul Beasts, and Bo Saixi warned him that Soul Beasts suited to the Nine Heart Begonia Martial Soul carried dangerous oceanic fate.

• The Snow Empress removed Shen Liuyu’s damaged right leg and Ye Lingling used her healing Soul Skill to graft on a Black Moon Whale Emperor Soul Bone, raising Shen Liuyu to Soul Power Level seventy-seven.
• Shen Hanyu replenished Ye Lingling’s Soul Power as she helped Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er replace their Soul Bones, then carried the exhausted Ye Lingling to bed.
• Ye Lingling awoke wearing a nightgown and blushed when Shen Hanyu teased her about changing her clothes, before he clarified that the Snow Empress had done it and gave her two Soul Bones to absorb.
• Shen Hanyu visited Bo Saixi, who suggested a storm-wracked Devil Sea west of Sea God Island as a place to find powerful Soul Beasts.
• Bo Saixi warned Shen Hanyu that oceanic healing Soul Beasts could not safely be hunted because they bore accumulated sea fate, and advised him to seek answers in the Star Dou Great Forest.

Shen Hanyu's group sailed west from Sea God Island aboard a repaired Sun Moon Empire warship, discovering the power and limits of its Soul Tool technology as they entered the dangerous Devil Sea. After the ship ran low on stored Soul Power, Shen Hanyu cleared attacking Sea Beasts while Snow Empress went to help restart its systems, but the bloodshed attracted powerful auras from the depths.

• The group boarded the repaired warship, and Shen Hanyu supplied Soul Power to restart it for the voyage.
• After sailing west for several days, Demon Queen killed a fifty-thousand-year Azure Moon Merman King for Shui Yue'er to use as her Sixth Soul Ring.

• The spreading blood scent drew several terrifying auras toward the warship from the deep sea.

Shen Hanyu descended into a seafloor fissure and captured a previously unknown mutated Fierce Beast, which Shen Liuyu used to obtain a crimson Soul Ring. As Shen Liuyu began absorbing it and the group gathered other Soul Rings, the Demon Queen discovered a huge blood-red eye at the bottom of the abyss.

• The Demon Queen subdued nearby sea creatures, then told Shen Hanyu that an abyssal force interfered with her search and left the descent to him.
• Shen Hanyu entered the fissure, fought a mutant fish-shaped Fierce Beast that attacked with reflected mental waves, and hauled it to the surface.
• The Demon Queen and You Mengchu identified the creature as likely a hybrid Soul Beast, while Xu Yuexuan and Demon Shadow wondered about its age and Shen Liuyu's Soul Ring.
• Shen Liuyu killed the captured Fierce Beast and safely began absorbing its crimson Soul Ring after the mark on her forehead calmed the surrounding sea.
• While the others hunted suitable Soul Rings, the Demon Queen searched the canyon and found a massive blood-red eye with no Life Aura, Soul Power, or Mental Power.

Shen Hanyu and the others completed their Soul Ring hunt, and Shen Liuyu absorbed a Fierce Beast’s unusual right-eye External Soul Bone. Shen Hanyu then took Ye Lingling to the continent to find a suitable Soul Beast and investigate the growing conflict, where reports of war and the Spirit Hall Empire suggested the continent was in turmoil.

• Shen Liuyu completed her Eighth Soul Ring absorption and reached Soul Douluo rank with an aura comparable to a Titled Douluo’s.
• The blood-colored eye broke free of Shen Hanyu’s Soul Tool and entered Shen Liuyu’s right eye, revealing itself as the Fierce Beast’s missing External Soul Bone.

• Shen Hanyu told Jin'e Douluo that Element City and Skywater Academy would stay out of the continent’s conflicts, then left Heaven Dou City with Ye Lingling.
• At the Lake of Life, Shen Hanyu introduced Ye Lingling to Di Tian and asked him to find a Jade Swan nearing the end of its life.
• Di Tian brought them a poisoned Seventy-Thousand-Year Jade Swan, which willingly accepted death so Ye Lingling could obtain its Soul Ring.
• Ye Lingling began absorbing the Jade Swan’s Black Soul Ring, while Shen Hanyu sealed part of its energy to make the process safer.
