After Tang Chuan and the Clear Sky Sect helped the Heaven Dou forces hold Zhenhu Pass, Bibi Dong redirected the Spirit Hall army against the Star Luo Empire, which suffered major defeats and sought aid from Xue Ke and Tang Chuan. Watching the comparison video, Dai Tianfeng angrily realized that his empire was being targeted because Spirit Hall could not overcome Heaven Dou.

• Tang Chuan, Dugu Bo, Tang Xiao, and Clear Sky Sect fighters helped the Heaven Dou army repel the Spirit Hall alliance at Zhenhu Pass, inflicting heavy casualties over several days.
• Bibi Dong ordered Chrysanthemum Douluo, Ghost Douluo, and Demon Bear Douluo to withdraw from Zhenhu Pass and attack the Star Luo Empire instead.

• Dai Tianfeng summoned relief forces but could not stop the advance, so he sent messengers to ask Xue Ke and Tang Chuan for help.
• Dai Tianfeng watched the comparison video and angrily concluded that Spirit Hall had turned on Star Luo because Heaven Dou was too well defended.

Tang Chuan accepted Dai Tianfeng’s plea and arranged Heaven Dou’s forces to reclaim territory and distract Spirit Hall Empire. Meanwhile, Qian Renxue completed the Angel God’s Ninth Trial at the cost of Qian Daoliu’s life, became the Angel God, and led Douluo Hall’s forces toward the front lines to turn the war.

At Tiger Might Pass, Bibi Dong’s forces failed to break through the Star Luo defenses, and Qian Renxue arrived as the Angel God to strip Bibi Dong of her titles and take command of the Spirit Hall Empire. Bibi Dong withdrew, leaving Dai Tianfeng despairing as he faced the divine threat to the Star Luo Empire.

• Bibi Dong, furious but not yet a god, left the battlefield and returned toward Spirit City.
• Qian Renxue turned toward Tiger Might Pass, and Dai Tianfeng feared that she would destroy the Star Luo Empire.

At Tiger Might Pass, the newly ascended Angel God Qian Renxue prepared to destroy the Star Luo defenders until Tang Chuan arrived to challenge her. Qian Renxue struck at the pass, while Tang San watched from the Black World and predicted that only the Goddess of Life and God of Destruction could save Tang Chuan.

• Dai Tianfeng and the Star Luo defenders refused Qian Renxue’s demand to surrender and vowed to die rather than submit.
• As Qian Renxue raised the Angel Holy Sword to attack Tiger Might Pass, Tang Chuan arrived and stood between her and the city.

Tang Chuan faced Qian Renxue’s divine sword strike by unleashing his Blue Silver Emperor Avatar, Destruction Gold-Devouring Tiangang Hammer, and powerful soul-bone abilities. After his clone blocked the strike, he launched a counterattack and trapped Qian Renxue in his Absolute Domain.

• Tang Chuan summoned his Blue Silver Emperor Avatar and grew a vast Blue Silver Forest before Tiger Might Pass.

• Tang Chuan’s Image Clone used Great Sumeru Hammer Detonation to crack and shatter Qian Renxue’s Angel Shield.
• Qian Renxue wrapped herself in her Angel Wings as Tang Chuan’s Blue Silver Wood Dragons attacked, then unleashed Angel Judgment and burned the vines with Holy Light Fire.
• Tang Chuan’s Blue Silver Emperor vines regenerated fast enough to balance the flames, but Qian Renxue cut free with her Angel Holy Sword and flew into the sky.
• Qian Renxue admitted that she had underestimated Tang Chuan, then announced she would use her Angel Domain to become ethereal and ignore his physical attacks.

Tang Chuan faced Qian Renxue after she activated her Angel Domain’s Etherealization, which made her immune to physical attacks. He used three Image Clones and their durable semi-divine hammers to force her to repeatedly abandon that defense, and the battle continued with neither side defeated.

• Tang San assumed Tang Chuan could not overcome Qian Renxue’s Etherealization, while people in both worlds silently hoped Tang Chuan would win.
• Qian Renxue activated her Angel Domain, became ethereal, empowered her Angel Holy Sword with Sun Fire, and charged at Tang Chuan.

• Qian Renxue could not quickly break the clones’ Destruction Gold-Devouring Tiangang Hammers, which Tang Chuan knew were sturdy semi-divine weapons.

Tang Chuan used dozens of Image Clones to immobilize Qian Renxue, then fused Life Power and Destruction Power into World-Ending Power and struck her. Qian Renxue was pierced by the beam and spat out divine blood, but the fight’s outcome remained unresolved.

• Tang Chuan’s three Image Clones kept Qian Renxue at bay with their sturdy hammers and defensive abilities.
• While the clones fought, Tang Chuan created thirty-seven more Image Clones, bringing their total to forty.
• The forty clones and Tang Chuan’s main body layered Absolute Domain to impose forty-one Space Imprisonments and thirty-seven Time Stases on Qian Renxue.
• Tang Chuan gathered Life Power from the Blue Silver Forest and combined it with the hammer’s Destruction Power to create World-Ending Power.
• Tang Chuan fired a beam of World-Ending Power through the immobilized Qian Renxue, who turned pale and spat out golden divine blood.

• Dai Tianfeng welcomed Tang Chuan and thanked him for saving the Star Luo Empire.

Tang Chuan returned to Zhenhu Pass after wounding Qian Renxue, then sensed that Shui Bing'er had crushed the Spirit Jade he had given her.

• Tang Chuan learned that the Evil Orca King had more than three hundred thousand years of cultivation and had killed Xiao Bai's younger brother.

Tang Chuan helped Xiao Bai and the women wipe out the Evil Spirit Orca Tribe, allowing them to complete their Divine Trials, then devoured the orcas’ corpses to raise everyone’s cultivation. He broke through to level ninety-nine, while Tang San angrily accused Poseidon of unfairly accepting Shui Bing’er’s trial completion.

• Tang Chuan killed the Evil Orca King and bound the remaining orcas, helping Xiao Bai and the women defeat the tribe and complete their Divine Trials.
• Tang San resented Shui Bing’er for passing her fourth Sea God Nine Trial with Tang Chuan’s help and called it cheating, while those around him pointed out his own divine trials had received outside assistance.
• Xiao Bai thanked Tang Chuan for avenging her younger brother and saving her tribe from losses, and Tang Chuan explained that defeating the orcas benefited him too.
• Tang Chuan used his Blue Silver Emperor and Dark Demon Evil God Tiger Tail Hook to devour the corpses and share the resulting Soul Power and life force with the women.
• Tang Chuan and the women’s cultivations rose rapidly, and Tang Chuan broke through the level-ninety-nine bottleneck.

After reaching the demigod realm, Tang Chuan completed two divine trials and used the power gained from the Evil Orca tribe to strengthen himself and the women. The group returned to Sea God Island, where Shui Bing'er received the Evil Orca King's Spirit Bone and the women began absorbing their God-Bestowed Soul Rings.

• Tang Chuan reached complete level ninety-nine Limit Douluo, completed the next Life and Destruction trials, and sensed Faith Power gathering around him.

• The women absorbed their God-Bestowed Soul Rings and began breaking through on the beach.

• The golden trident mark revealed that Shui Bing'er's sixth trial was to endure one incense stick against the new High Priestess, Tang Hao.

Shui Bing'er fought Tang Hao in her sixth trial at Sea God Island, but his superior strength and close-range attacks overwhelmed her. When Tang Chuan sensed Tang Hao's killing intent, he intervened with his domains to suppress Tang Hao and heal Shui Bing'er, leaving Tang Hao furious at his son.
