Chapter Summaries

Jingtian tested his Poison Domain and Poison Erosion by ambushing an Iron-Spined Arrow Wolf pack, killing nearly half before the survivors fled. After human Soul Masters arrived to investigate unusual energy fluctuations, he returned to his nest and considered leaving the increasingly dangerous waters.

• Jingtian used his Poison Domain and Poison Threads to kill nearly half of a pack of Iron-Spined Arrow Wolves, including their alpha, while the Thick-Shelled Tridacna remained nearby.
• The surviving wolves fled, and Jingtian began devouring the fallen wolves to replenish his energy and stabilize his Poison Source.
• A Soul Emperor, a Soul King, and an emerald-eyed Soul Ancestor arrived and examined the wolf corpses, suspecting a potent poisonous Sea Soul Beast had attacked them.
• The emerald-eyed girl sensed something vanish, but the three Soul Masters continued their mission to investigate abnormal energy fluctuations and swam deeper into the sea.
• Jingtian concealed himself until the humans left, then devoured the remaining wolf essence and hurried back to his nest, considering a safer place to hide.

Jingtian spent five years roaming the deep sea, evolving his poison and creating the deadly Dan-Devour before reaching Ten-Thousand-Year cultivation. As he prepared to hunt in the Storm Sea Abyss, a powerful human Soul Tool fleet arrived, and he decided to greet them with his poison.

• Jingtian abandoned his nest and spent years hunting Sea Soul Beasts, strengthening his Poison Source and expanding his Poison Domain.
• After devouring a Shadow Phantom Jellyfish, Jingtian developed Dan-Devour, a poison that could lock onto and consume a target’s life and soul.
• Near the end of his third year, Jingtian successfully used Dan-Devour to kill a nine-thousand-year Molten Core Violent Carp.
• Jingtian devoured an Abyss Maw Shark and broke through to Ten-Thousand-Year cultivation, becoming more powerful and improving Dan-Devour.
• Five Soul Tool ships carrying at least twenty Soul Kings and Soul Emperors entered the Storm Sea Abyss, and Jingtian prepared to test Dan-Devour on them.

Jingtian learned that the Raging Waves Team had come to hunt the unknown poison beast and launched a surprise attack on its ships. After killing one Soul Emperor and crippling another vessel, he vanished into the Storm Sea Abyss, leaving the remaining Soul Masters shaken.

• Jingtian overheard the Raging Waves Team captain explain that the team was investigating the disappearances of soul beasts and hunting a suspected poisonous predator.
• Jingtian targeted the scouting ship and used Dan-Devour to kill its Soul Emperor without leaving a visible wound.
• After the scout ship raised an alarm, Jingtian enveloped a second ship in his Poison Domain and struck its crew with Myriad Poison Corroding Sea.
• The Quasi-Soul Saint captain ordered the fleet to fire and deploy a binding net, but Jingtian escaped into the abyss before they could hit him.

After Jingtian's ambushes killed Lao Chen and poisoned several crew members, Mo Lin ordered the Raging Waves Team's ships to dock together beneath the Sea Emperor Protection barrier. Jingtian abandoned a direct assault and circled the fortified ships, waiting for their defenses to weaken or an opening to appear.

• Mo Lin assessed Lao Chen's death and the poison attacks, then ordered the crew to form a joint defense and scan the surrounding waters.
• The Raging Waves Team's ships docked together, raised the Sea Emperor Protection barrier, and transferred injured and poisoned crew members for treatment.
• Jingtian watched the ships unite and judged their barrier and detection network too dangerous to attack directly.
• Jingtian hid in turbulent currents and circled the combined ships from a safe distance, waiting for fatigue, energy fluctuations, or a chance to strike.

Jingtian used Dan-Devour to strike Captain Mo Lin through the Sea Emperor Protection barrier, killing four Soul Kings and forcing the Raging Waves Team to flee the Storm Sea Abyss. Mo Lin remained afflicted as Jingtian replenished his strength, while the danger to the human soul master world grew.

• Mo Lin ordered the barrier output lowered and launched three decoy submersibles to lure the hidden attacker into revealing himself.
• Jingtian ignored the decoys and struck Mo Lin with a concentrated Dan-Devour that pierced the barrier but met fierce resistance from the Quasi-Soul Saint.
• Jingtian simultaneously killed four nearby Soul Kings with weaker Dan-Devour attacks, throwing the joined ships into panic.
• Mo Lin ordered the survivors to retreat toward Sea God Island, and three ships fled while abandoning their damaged vessel.
• Jingtian chose not to pursue, judged that Dan-Devour would eventually kill Mo Lin, and began replenishing his strength from the abandoned ship.

Jingtian fled the Storm Sea Abyss for the forbidden waters of the Eternal Silence Return Ruins while Sea God Island mourned Mo Lin and organized a powerful hunt. After searching the abyss without success, the pursuers issued a permanent wanted notice as Jingtian entered the deadly Guixu waters.

• Jingtian recovered in a hydrothermal fissure, erased his traces, and began a stealthy journey toward the Eternal Silence Return Ruins.
• Mo Lin died after Soul Douluo healers and Sea God Island’s sacred methods failed to stop Dan-Devour from consuming his life.
• Sea God Island classified Jingtian as an S+ threat and sent a Peak Soul Douluo, two Soul Saints, and ten Soul Emperors to hunt him.
• Jingtian’s pursuers searched the Storm Sea Abyss for half a month but found no trace of him, so the Peak Soul Douluo ordered a permanent wanted notice.
• Jingtian reached the outskirts of Guixu and plunged into the forbidden deep-sea zone.

Jingtian spent fifteen years cultivating in Eternal Silence Return Ruins and reached seventy thousand years of cultivation. When he sensed a Sea God Island Titled Douluo closing in, he erased his traces and fled toward Guixu’s forbidden core, preparing to use its dangers as a trial.

• Jingtian hid in Guixu and refined its chaotic energy while hunting return ruins creatures to strengthen and develop his poison powers.
• Over fifteen years, Jingtian’s cultivation rose to seventy thousand years, and he learned to contaminate spatial properties with poison.
• Jingtian sensed a resonance from the Dan-Devour mark left in Mo Lin, suggesting Sea God Island had studied the poison after Mo Lin’s death.
• Jingtian detected a powerful Sea God Island pursuer approaching and recognized the soul power as that of a Titled Douluo.
• Jingtian concealed his aura, erased his traces, and fled deeper into Guixu’s forbidden core to avoid a direct confrontation.

Jingtian confronted a Sea God Island Titled Douluo in Guixu, testing his strength against the human’s Sea God domain. After his Dan-Devour struck the Titled Douluo’s life origin and disrupted his domain, Jingtian launched a close-range assault, leaving their battle raging in Guixu.

• Jingtian stopped near Guixu’s core forbidden zone and revealed his aura to draw the pursuing Sea God Island Titled Douluo into a fight.
• The Titled Douluo recognized Jingtian as the beast that had killed Mo Lin and attacked with a water trident, but Jingtian blocked the strike with a tentacle and suffered a wound.
• The Titled Douluo expanded the Sea God’s Domain—Boundless Vast Sea, suppressing Jingtian’s Poison Domain, soul power, and movement.
• Jingtian used Dan-Devour to penetrate the Titled Douluo’s domain and poison his life origin, briefly weakening the domain’s suppression.
• Jingtian charged the impaired Titled Douluo and attacked with his tentacles, triggering a violent clash of poison and Sea God’s Light deep within Guixu.

Jingtian fought a Title Douluo while Dan-Devour weakened his opponent, then fled into Guixu’s deadly energy storm. He survived the crossing but emerged gravely injured in an unknown region, where he hid to recover and focused on finding a way back to the Western Silent Sea Abyss and the ancient Soul Bone.

• The Title Douluo unleashed Tidebirth Slash, and Jingtian suffered severe wounds while realizing he could not keep fighting head-on.
• Jingtian detonated two injured tentacles to spread poisonous mist, then escaped deeper into Guixu’s energy storm.
• The Title Douluo failed to stop Jingtian, coughed up blood as Dan-Devour worsened, and returned toward Sea God Island for treatment and to report the battle.
• Jingtian endured the destructive storm and emerged into a relatively calm but lifeless region deep within Guixu.
• Jingtian hid in a rock hollow and entered Tortoise-Breath Feigned Death, barely alive after his cultivation and strength collapsed.
• Before losing consciousness, Jingtian resolved to recover and return to the Western Silent Sea Abyss for the ancient Soul Bone.

Sea God Island’s elders learned that Jingtian’s poison had gravely wounded Luo Kes and decided to launch a large-scale hunt. As the Deep Sea Evil-Slaying Order spread across the land and sea, the dying Jingtian remained unaware, fighting to survive in Guixu.

• Luo Kes recounted his pursuit of Jingtian and showed the elders the poison still eroding his life and Soul Power.
• Sea Dragon Douluo judged Jingtian an escalating threat and proposed issuing the Deep Sea Evil-Slaying Order.
• Sea Horse Douluo and Sea Maiden Douluo agreed to lead a squad with three Peak Soul Douluos and sacred artifacts into Guixu to locate and kill Jingtian if he survived.
• Sea Dragon Douluo ordered Luo Kes to stay on Sea God Island for treatment while the elders organized the hunt.
• Sea God Island sent warnings and Jingtian’s description to allied factions as he struggled to survive deep in Guixu.

Sea God Island tried to find a cure for Luo Kes's Dan-Devour poison and prepared to hunt the Poison Beast after Dugu Bo refused to help. Deep in Guixu, Jingtian survived by mimicking the surrounding rock and evaded the Title Douluos searching for him, though he remained near death and determined to return for the Soul Bone in the Western Silent Sea Abyss.

• Sea Star Douluo explained that the Sea God Pool could only suppress Luo Kes's poison, while Sea Dragon Douluo revealed that Dugu Bo had refused their request for help.
• Sea Dragon Douluo ordered Sea Horse Douluo and Sea Maiden Douluo to lead a hunt for the Poison Beast and obtain its life or poison Origin.
• Jingtian's Poison Source slowly absorbed Guixu's deathly energy, keeping him barely alive in a near-death state.
• Jingtian sensed powerful pursuers searching Guixu and used the surrounding deathly energy to disguise himself as part of the rock.
• The pursuers passed without detecting Jingtian, who sank back into darkness while clinging to his resolve to obtain the Soul Bone in the Western Silent Sea Abyss.

Jingtian spent three years recovering and developing Guixu Assimilation while hiding from Sea God Island’s hunting squads, then gradually moved toward Guixu’s outskirts and rebuilt his strength. After reaching seventy-two-thousand-year cultivation and recovering most of his power, he set out for the Western Silent Sea Abyss to claim the ancient Scorpion Tail Soul Bone.

• Jingtian stayed hidden in Guixu for three years, using its deathly still energy to stabilize his injuries and create a camouflage layer.
• Jingtian began moving toward Guixu’s outskirts, avoiding or swiftly killing return ruins creatures and devouring their essence to recover.
• Jingtian sheltered in a concealed reef cave and hunted sea soul beasts while honing Guixu Assimilation and his poison power.
• After another half year, Jingtian recovered to seventy-two-thousand-year cultivation, with eighty percent of his soul power and seventy percent of his poison source restored.
• Jingtian left the cave and turned toward the Western Silent Sea Abyss to claim the ancient Scorpion Tail Soul Bone.

After escaping Guixu, Jingtian secretly returned to the Western Silent Sea Abyss to retrieve the Soul Bone hidden in his old nest. He discovered Sea God Island’s surveillance network, found a brief route through its blind spots, and slipped into the monitored region toward the fissure.

• Jingtian spent more than a month escaping Guixu, then tested his recovered cultivation and poison arts before beginning the journey home.
• Jingtian traveled cautiously for years, avoiding human fleets, powerful Sea Soul Beasts, and a terrifying presence in a trench.
• Jingtian stopped hundreds of nautical miles from the Western Silent Sea Abyss and spent seven days sensing the area around his old nest.
• Jingtian discovered three hidden surveillance Soul Tools set up by Sea God Island around the nest and analyzed their pulse patterns for half a month.
• Jingtian used a brief blind spot between the surveillance nodes to enter the Western Silent Sea Abyss and approach his fissure nest and the Soul Bone.

Jingtian returned to the Western Silent Sea Abyss and used a severed tentacle as a bridge to begin receiving the Scorpion Tail External Soul Bone’s core inheritance. As his body transformed, a stronger Sea God Island Title Douluo ambushed him, leaving Jingtian wounded and under attack.

• Jingtian slipped past Sea God Island’s surveillance and entered his old nest to examine the changed Scorpion Tail Soul Bone.
• Jingtian created a poison-force Knocking Mark and severed a Guixu-infused tentacle to use as an offering and bridge to the Soul Bone.
• The Soul Bone accepted the tentacle’s resonance and sent its core inheritance into Jingtian, transforming his Poison Source and pushing his cultivation higher.
• A deep-blue water attack struck Jingtian while he absorbed the inheritance, piercing a secondary tentacle and cutting deeply into his body.
• A Title Douluo from Sea God Island appeared at the nest entrance and declared that he would kill Jingtian and destroy the Soul Bone.

Jingtian escaped into the fissure after Sea Horse Douluo ambushed him and interrupted the Soul Bone inheritance. Before falling into a deathlike dormancy, Jingtian poisoned Sea Horse Douluo with Dan-Devour, while the damaged Soul Bone remained beside the ancient remains.

• Sea Horse Douluo trapped the gravely wounded Jingtian in Vast Sea Cage and attacked as Jingtian fled into the fissure.
• Jingtian disrupted the cage and used a severed tentacle to weaken Sea Horse Douluo's strike, triggering a violent surge of fissure energy that swept him deeper inside.
• Jingtian unleashed a final strand of Dan-Devour, which dispersed into tiny particles and seeped through Sea Horse Douluo's defenses.
• Sea Horse Douluo realized the poison was devouring his vitality, lost more than thirty percent of his combat strength, and fled to seek treatment.
• Jingtian collapsed into an ultimate dormancy, leaving the damaged Scorpion Tail Soul Bone in the silent fissure.

Jingtian remained unconscious in the Western Silent Sea Abyss as the Scorpion Tail Soul Bone slowly seeped its dormant soul power into his body. The energy sustained his last spark of spirituality and began rebuilding a tiny core of poison power, leaving him in energetic suspended animation rather than fully dead.

• Jingtian lay frozen and unconscious beside the Scorpion Tail Soul Bone in the fissure.
• A lingering resonance between Jingtian's poison source and the Soul Bone caused its dormant soul power to seep into his body.
• Jingtian's faint spark of spirituality used the incoming energy to stabilize itself, though his body and injuries did not recover.
• After months of seepage, soul power mingled with the remnants of Jingtian's poison source and formed a tiny cluster of dark-purple energy.
• Jingtian entered energetic suspended animation, sustained by the Soul Bone's power as their silent symbiosis continued.

After twenty-eight years of recovery, Jingtian awakened, fused the Scorpion Tail Soul Bone into a ninth tentacle, and broke through to the eighty-thousand-year realm. He discovered that he could evade Sea God Island’s surveillance and began slowly escaping his lair to seek prey and pursue vengeance.

• Jingtian regained consciousness after twenty-eight years and found that the Scorpion Tail Soul Bone had become a new energy channel connected to his body.
• Jingtian fused the Soul Bone into a black ninth tentacle over five days, then broke through the eighty-thousand-year cultivation threshold.
• Jingtian tested the ninth tentacle’s speed, strength, energy control, and ability to mimic the surrounding environment.
• Jingtian sensed Sea God Island’s surveillance node and nearby patrols, and determined that careful concealment might let him evade detection.
• Jingtian began slowly compressing his body and guiding his tentacles toward the lair’s entrance to escape the surveillance network.

Jingtian recovered enough to leave his hidden trench and secretly investigated signs of a battle between Demon Soul Great White Sharks and Deep Sea Demon Whales. After discovering that Sea God Island had also been involved and a powerful whale was dying, he headed toward it to seize its life essence and shift the blame onto the victors.

• Jingtian spent a month recovering in a deep trench, refining his control of the Ninth Tentacle and hunting low-level sea creatures.
• Jingtian sent spirit energy into hagfish and lanternfish to gather information about Sea God Island patrols, deep-sea disturbances, and a human fleet.
• Jingtian traveled toward the reported battle, avoiding a school of Split-Tooth Arrow Fish and a powerful hostile soul beast.
• Jingtian analyzed fresh battle traces and detected the powers of the Demon Soul Great White Sharks, the Deep Sea Demon Whales, and Sea God Island.
• Jingtian heard a dying whale song and sensed the Demon Soul Great White Sharks withdrawing, then decided to pursue the wounded whale and exploit the aftermath.
• Jingtian sent the Ninth Tentacle ahead and followed under concealment toward the battlefield.

Jingtian ambushed a pack of Demon Soul Great White Sharks, killed their leader, and drove off the others before saving a severely wounded Deep Sea Demon Whale. The whale began following him toward a safer place, becoming Jingtian’s first potential ally in the deep sea.

• Jingtian found five Demon Soul Great White Sharks attacking a dying Deep Sea Demon Whale and decided to strike at the sharks’ leader.
• Jingtian secretly struck the eighty-thousand-year shark leader with Dan-Devour, then unleashed his Poison Domain and crippled it.
• Jingtian attacked the remaining sharks, killed one, and forced the others to flee before devouring their leader’s life essence.
• Jingtian approached the wounded Deep Sea Demon Whale, calmed it, and used restorative energy to stabilize its injuries.
• The Deep Sea Demon Whale agreed to follow Jingtian toward a safer place while he continued tending to its wounds.

Jingtian brought the wounded Mo Yuan to a concealed hydrothermal cavern and learned that Sea God Island and the Demon Soul Great White Sharks were hunting the Deep Sea Demon Whale Clan. He demanded intelligence and proof of value before committing to rescues, and prepared to hunt the pursuers while Mo Yuan recovered.

• Jingtian concealed Mo Yuan’s trail and guided him toward a hydrothermal fissure field where he could hide and recover.
• Mo Yuan told Jingtian that Sea God Island’s powerful fighters were hunting the clan’s elders while lower-ranking teams and sharks pursued other clansmen.
• Mo Yuan offered his and any rescued whales’ allegiance, soul marks, knowledge, and remaining strength in exchange for Jingtian saving the hunted clansmen.
• Jingtian ordered Mo Yuan to recover and secretly gather locations and strength assessments of clansmen pursued by Soul Douluos and Soul Saints, without revealing Jingtian’s presence.
• Jingtian settled Mo Yuan in a cavern, laid a poison barrier, and prepared to ambush the hunting squads while ruling out any attempt to save the elders pursued by Titled Douluos.
