Chapter Summaries

Chen Xing and Bibi Dong set out for the Star Dou Forest to confront Ye Lingling, while Ye Lingling cornered Xiao Wu, Da Ming, and Er Ming near the Lake of Life. The chapter left Er Ming frozen by Yue Guan and Gui Mei's Martial Soul Fusion Skill as Ye Lingling approached.

Chen Xing confronted Ye Lingling over her mother’s death and revealed that Ye Lanyi had tried to steal his bloodline, but Ye Lingling rejected the explanation and ordered the Spirit Hall members to attack.

Chen Xing used his Eighth Soul Skill, Thousand Star Illusion Sword, to devastate Ye Lingling after Bibi Dong interrupted her attempt to use her Evil Soul Skill. As the Ice Empress moved to finish Ye Lingling, a silver-haired figure named Tang San appeared and blocked the attack.

• Ye Lingling survived the attack, but the Ice Empress prepared to deliver the final blow.
• A silver-haired figure appeared and blocked the Ice Empress's attack, and Chen Xing recognized him as Tang San.

Tang San reunited with Xiao Wu, discovered she was a Soul Beast, and killed her in a rage. Xiao Wu’s death left Da Ming grieving and Chen Xing burdened by the promise he had made to her.

• Tang San arrived on the battlefield and joyfully embraced Xiao Wu, who asked him to save the dying Da Ming.
• Tang San sensed Xiao Wu’s Soul Beast identity and reacted with fury, connecting her to his mother and Chen Xing.
• Xiao Wu pleaded that her feelings for Tang San were sincere, but he stabbed her in the abdomen and accused her of being involved with Chen Xing.
• Tang San killed Xiao Wu with his Asura Demon Sword despite Da Ming’s cry and Chen Xing’s Purple Imperial Sword Formation.
• Xiao Wu’s body transformed into a Soft Bone Rabbit and produced a blood-red Soul Ring, while Da Ming mourned and Chen Xing remembered his promise to help reunite her family.

Chen Xing confronted Tang San, who revealed that Tang Chen had sacrificed himself to grant him Asura Divine Power and that he had spent years preparing to kill Chen Xing. Tang San’s confidence collapsed when Chen Xing displayed four patterned red Soul Rings, and Chen Xing launched his Eighth Soul Skill against him.

• Chen Xing confronted Tang San over Xiao Wu’s death, and Tang San blamed Chen Xing for his father’s and grandfather’s sacrifices.

• Chen Xing attacked Tang San with his Eighth Soul Skill, Thousand Star Illusion Sword.

After Ye Lingling and Tang San escaped, Chen Xing and Spirit Hall dealt with the battle’s aftermath, and Gui Mei became the new Pope. At the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Chen Xing warned Ning Fengzhi that Ye Lingling might become a god and said he would stay until he married Ning Rongrong.

• Ye Lingling escaped into the Rakshasa Secret Realm, while Tang San fled with the Asura Demon Sword as Chen Xing prepared his Soul Skill.
• Bibi Dong explained Ye Lingling’s escape, and Chen Xing admitted that he and his allies lacked the strength to kill her or defeat Tang San.
• Chen Xing thanked Gui Mei for saving him, though Gui Mei was surprised because he had not realized that he and Chrysanthemum Elder had helped.

• Chen Xing collected Xiao Wu and the others’ Soul Rings and Soul Bones, fused Xiao Wu’s left arm bone, and gave the other two Soul Bones to Gui Mei to repay his childhood promise.
• At the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Chen Xing told Ning Fengzhi that Ye Lingling might soon become a god and said he would remain there until he married Ning Rongrong.

Chen Xing left the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect after Ning Fengzhi refused to honor his promise to marry Ning Rongrong to him, then led his group toward Sea God Island to seek a divine inheritance and question Bo Saixi. A month into the voyage, a colossal wave heralded the arrival of the 990,000-year Deep Sea Demonic Whale King.

• Chen Xing mocked Ning Fengzhi for backing away from his promise about Ning Rongrong, then left the sect with the women.
• Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo questioned Ning Fengzhi’s decision to sever ties with Chen Xing, but Ning Fengzhi remained silent.
• Chen Xing told Bibi Dong they would go to Sea God Island to pursue a divine inheritance and ask Bo Saixi about the Plane Master.
• After a month at sea, A-Zi begged Chen Xing for more golden light to ease her seasickness, but he withheld it in case they encountered danger.
• A massive wave struck near the ship, and Chen Xing identified the approaching creature as a 990,000-year Fierce Beast.

Chen Xing and Bibi Dong fought the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King, a Half-God Rank Soul Beast, after it attacked their ship. Chen Xing held his own with Bibi Dong's help, but the whale's seemingly endless Soul Power left him realizing they could not win by simply wearing it down.

• The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King appeared beside the ship, and Chen Xing identified it as a Half-God Rank opponent that had survived nine Heavenly Tribulations.
• Chen Xing summoned both Martial Souls and ordered his companions to prepare for battle, while the whale transformed into human form and unleashed its Demonic Whale Domain.
• The Demonic Whale Domain overwhelmed the Ice Empress's soul, so Chen Xing sent her back into his Sea of Consciousness and told Bibi Dong to protect the others and interfere.
• Chen Xing attacked with ice and snow skills as the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King answered with an Abyssal Thunderstorm, while Bibi Dong supported Chen Xing with surprise attacks.
• Chen Xing blocked the whale's Wrath of the Demon King with two shields and recognized that its Twin Whale Pearls gave it tremendous reserves of Soul Power.

Chen Xing used his newly comprehended Moon Slasher to badly wound the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King and force it to retreat. After returning to the deck exhausted, he checked on Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue, but A-Zi spotted someone approaching.

• Chen Xing combined three slash-type Soul Skills to crack the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King's Energy-Form Armor, then took to the sky to charge another attack.
• Bibi Dong attacked the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King to protect Chen Xing, but it blasted her away and pierced her body; Qian Renxue mistakenly thought she had been killed.
• Chen Xing completed his charge and used Purple Imperial Bamboo Eighth Soul Skill: Moon Slasher, splitting an enormous energy moon and leaving a deep wound across the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King's body.
• Chen Xing spared the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King, which fled into the sea in fear, and then returned to the deck with his Soul Power nearly exhausted.
• Ah Yin supported Chen Xing and restored some of his strength; Bibi Dong assured him that Undying Body had prevented lasting injury, while Qian Renxue remained weak.
• A-Zi called out that someone was approaching.

Chen Xing met Bo Saixi after the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King fled, then brought his group to learn the Sea God Island trials. He had Bibi Dong test the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud, and its recognition of her shook Bo Saixi’s faith as Chen Xing told her to prepare for sacrifice.

• Bo Saixi arrived and questioned Chen Xing about the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King, then recognized the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud as the Sea God’s token.
• Chen Xing and Bo Saixi exchanged information about their goals and the Sea God Island trials, including crossing the Sea within the Sea to reach a Sacred Pillar.
• Chen Xing told Bibi Dong to test whether the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud would recognize her, despite Bo Saixi’s objections to Bibi Dong’s past attack on Sea God Island.
• The Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud absorbed Bibi Dong’s blood and sent an azure ripple around her, confirming its recognition and leaving Bo Saixi shaken.
• Chen Xing told Bo Saixi to prepare for sacrifice.

Chen Xing comforted Bo Saixi over Tang Chen’s death and asked her about the Plane Master before bringing his group to Sea God Island for trials. A-Zi’s assessment rose through the trial grades, leaving the guardians watching to see whether she would reach the Red Grade Seven Trials.

• Chen Xing told Bo Saixi that Tang Chen and Qian Daoliu were dead, and she collapsed in grief over Tang Chen.
• Chen Xing comforted Bo Saixi and asked about the Plane Master, learning that the Plane Master would seek him out once he reached that level.
• Several days later, Bo Saixi led Chen Xing’s group to the Seven Sacred Pillars, where Seahorse Douluo began A-Zi’s trial.
• A-Zi’s trial light rose from white through yellow, purple, and black, prompting Bo Saixi and the Sacred Pillar Guardians to watch for a possible Red Grade Seven Trials result.

A-Zi received Red Grade Seven Trials, while Chen Xing and the other women underwent Sea God Island’s trials. The Sea God recognized Chen Xing’s exceptional potential but was disappointed when his trial stopped at Black Grade Six, and he left the Sea God’s chosen woman’s trials in his hands.

• A-Zi triggered Red Grade Seven Trials, and Bo Saixi explained that they marked her as a future ruler of Sea God Island.
• Ah Yin and the other women received Black Grade Six Trials, while Chen Xing said that only one Red Grade Seven Trials or Sea God Nine Trials could exist at a time.
• Chen Xing began his own trial, but the light pillar remained black at Grade Six even as the baptism continued unusually long.
• In the Sea God Hall, the Sea God lamented that Chen Xing had appeared too late to inherit his God Position and stopped the baptism.
• A-Zi asked Chen Xing why he was not as amazing as she was.

Bibi Dong received the Sea God Nine Trials with Chen Xing at her side, while Ice Empress also underwent a trial as his clone. The group learned that Ice Empress’s soul would have to experience every trial alongside Chen Xing, and he asked how her rewards would be calculated.

• Chen Xing explained that he had received a lower-grade trial to help A-Zi improve, and A-Zi said she would protect everyone when she became High Priest.
• Chen Xing led Bibi Dong to the Sacred Pillar and held her hand as Bo Saixi ordered Seahorse Douluo to begin the trial.
• The pillar turned red and then gold, giving Bibi Dong the Sea God Nine Trials and a golden Trident mark.
• Bibi Dong excitedly kissed Chen Xing, and the group prepared to head into the city to rest.
• Ice Empress objected that she had not received a trial, so Chen Xing let her approach the Sacred Pillar.
• Seahorse Douluo opened a Black Grade One Trial for Ice Empress, and Bo Saixi explained that her soul would accompany Chen Xing through every trial; Chen Xing asked how her rewards would be calculated.

Chen Xing tested whether completing a Sea God trial with the Ice Empress would grant rewards to both of them, and led her and the others up the steps of Sea God's Light. After Chen Xing and the Ice Empress completed the first trial, he summoned his Clone to check whether their rewards would stack.

• Bo Saixi speculated that the Ice Empress would receive the same trial rewards as Chen Xing, so Chen Xing decided to test the idea immediately.
• Chen Xing led the Ice Empress and the women to Sea God's Mountain and began the first trial, while explaining that the pressure would not change according to a trial-taker's strength.
• A-Zi stepped onto the stairs without preparing and was blasted into the sea, where Ah Yin found her and pulled her back to shore.
• Chen Xing and the Ice Empress climbed all 108 steps, and Bo Saixi told Seahorse Douluo that they were stronger than she was and had come to inherit the Sea God Inheritance.
• Chen Xing and the Ice Empress each received a notice that the trial was complete and that their Soul Power Level had increased by one.
• Chen Xing sent the Ice Empress into his Sea of Consciousness and summoned his Clone to test whether the two rewards could stack.

Chen Xing led A-Zi, Ice Empress, Ah Yin, and Qian Renxue through the Sea God’s Light, helping them complete their first trials and earn Soul Power rewards. Bibi Dong continued climbing toward the 333rd step while Bo Saixi warned Chen Xing not to rush the trials.

• After recalling his Clone, Chen Xing received another Soul Power level and calculated that repeating all six trial rewards could push him past level one hundred after obtaining his Ninth Soul Ring.
• Chen Xing helped A-Zi, Ice Empress, Ah Yin, and Qian Renxue climb together, enduring fivefold pressure as the three women besides A-Zi completed their first trials at the 108th step.
• At the 136th step, A-Zi completed her first trial, gained a Soul Power level, and reached level sixty.
• Chen Xing took the women back down and encouraged A-Zi and Snow Empress to cultivate toward level seventy so they could obtain hundred-thousand-year seventh Soul Rings near Sea God Island.
• Bo Saixi noted that Bibi Dong was already nearing the 240th step and reminded Chen Xing that the trials had one-year time limits; Chen Xing reassured her that the Sea God might reunite her with her old lover in the God Realm.

Bibi Dong confided that she feared losing Chen Xing and Qian Renxue, especially if Tang San or Ye Lingling became gods first. Chen Xing reassured her and planned for Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue to pursue their divine trials, but Bibi Dong remained alarmed by the threat divine power posed to him.

• Bibi Dong admitted to Chen Xing that she feared losing him and Qian Renxue, and he comforted her by promising they would become gods together.
• Chen Xing said he would wait until obtaining his Ninth Soul Ring to understand his own path to godhood, and he planned for Bibi Dong to complete her first seven trials before facing the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King.
• Chen Xing told Qian Renxue that she would begin the Angel God's trial after they left Sea God Island, and he reassured her that she could succeed despite her weakened cultivation.
• That night, Bibi Dong told Chen Xing she feared Tang San or Ye Lingling becoming gods first and coming after them.
• Bibi Dong warned Chen Xing that divine power was terrifying and that his enemies could kill him.

Chen Xing tried to solve his shortage of Soul Power by condensing a Sword Intent Soul Core, but his reserves proved insufficient to finish it. Bo Saixi recognized that he was imitating the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King's Whale Pearl, though she did not know how to make one.

• Chen Xing reassured Bibi Dong, and the next morning her worry had vanished as she discussed the second trial with Xiao Bai.
• Chen Xing identified his limited Soul Power reserves as a major weakness and decided to condense a Soul Core to improve his recovery and endurance.
• Chen Xing compressed his Soul Power until it liquefied, but he lacked enough reserves to solidify it into a core.
• Chen Xing asked the Snow Empress for Ten-Thousand-Year Cold Ice Marrow, then told A-Zi he was researching instead of joining the assessment.
• Bo Saixi recognized Chen Xing's attempt to imitate the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King's Whale Pearl, but said she did not know how to condense one.

Chen Xing attempted to condense a Soul Core by consuming Cold Ice Marrow and the remains of the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, while the women finished their trials and worried about his condition. Bibi Dong and Ah Yin stayed near him overnight, where Bibi Dong asked whether Ah Yin had feelings for him.

• Chen Xing began compressing his Soul Power with the Cold Ice Marrow and Sky Dream Ice Silkworm remains to try to form a Soul Core.
• Bibi Dong and the women returned after completing their trials and found Chen Xing had consumed a large amount of Snow Empress's Cold Ice Marrow.
• Snow Empress worried that Chen Xing's extreme Soul Power consumption would harm him, but Bo Saixi warned them not to interrupt his experiment.
• Bibi Dong volunteered to watch over Chen Xing overnight, and Ah Yin returned to keep her company.
• Bibi Dong asked Ah Yin whether she had feelings for Chen Xing, and Ah Yin said she always saw him as a child.
