Chapter Summaries

Sea God Island’s hunters reached the Demon Whale nest and began searching for the survivors, forcing the Demon Whale Empress to accept Kraken’s offer of help. As a powerful divine sense closed in on the nest, Kraken began revealing his plan by releasing several gray motes from his body.

• A vast holy presence from Sea God Island swept through the nest, paining the surviving Demon Whales and stirring their hatred and fear.
• Three Sacred Pillar Guardians sent divine senses toward the reef, and the Demon Whale Empress recognized the High Priest who had wounded her.
• The Demon Whale Empress accepted that the hunters had cornered her and asked Kraken what he would do to protect her people.
• Kraken told the Empress to follow his arrangements if she wanted to live.
• As the High Priest’s divine sense probed toward the nest, Kraken released several gray motes from his body.

Sea Dragon Douluo led four Sacred Pillar Guardians and Sea God Island’s forces to surround the nest and expose its hidden entrance. As the attackers prepared to kill the Demon Empress and the heretic within, Kraken watched them approach and welcomed the chance to face them all at once.

• Sea Dragon Douluo and four Sacred Pillar Guardians sealed off the reef region with Sea God Island’s forces, intending to eradicate the Demon Whale’s remnants.
• Haiwang Douluo, Sea Maiden Douluo, and Sea Star Douluo combined their abilities to detect and strip away the nest’s concealment.
• Sea Star Douluo confirmed three powerful wills and several other life signs, while Haima Douluo warned that the heretic’s aura matched the strange poison that had wounded him.
• Sea Dragon Douluo crushed the reefs, revealed the passage entrance, and ordered the Guardians and army to contain everything inside.
• Sea Dragon Douluo confronted the Demon Empress and called for the heretic to reveal itself, while Kraken watched from within the nest and welcomed their arrival.

Sea Dragon Douluo and the Sacred Pillar Guardians probed the nest, but Kraken released gray motes that erased matter and drained life, injuring Sea Maiden Douluo and members of the legion. Sea Dragon Douluo froze the surrounding sea and advanced into the passage while Kraken assessed the first wave’s results.

• Sea Dragon Douluo called into the nest as the other guardians deployed their detection and interference techniques, but the nest remained silent.
• Gray motes drifted from the nest, and Sea Horse Douluo sensed the danger and warned everyone to evade them.
• Sea Maiden Douluo’s shield failed to stop the motes, which struck her and dozens of Soul Masters and Sea Dragon Beasts, erasing parts of their bodies and draining their vitality.
• Sea Horse Douluo urged the legion to spread out and avoid direct defense, while Sea Star Douluo used Purification Light to destroy many motes.
• Sea Dragon Douluo solidified the sea around the motes, ordered the guardians to respond, and advanced into the passage as Kraken judged the first wave’s results acceptable.

Sea Dragon Douluo tried to break the stalemate by offering to let the Deep Sea Demon Whale calves leave safely if Kraken and the Demon Empress emerged to fight. Kraken accepted Sea Dragon Douluo’s proposal, though his response carried mockery and greed.

• Sea Maiden Douluo’s wither curse continued spreading despite Sea Star Douluo’s Purification Light, while Sea God Island’s forces remained trapped in a costly stalemate outside the lair.
• Haiwang Douluo sensed young, frightened minds deeper in the lair, leading Sea Dragon Douluo to realize that whale calves might be keeping the enemy from emerging.
• Sea Dragon Douluo offered the enemy a choice: fight the Sea God Island elites while the weaker Demon Whales and Sea God Island forces withdrew, or face the destruction of the calves and their clan.
• Kraken heard the offer and accepted, while the three weakened Deep Sea Demon Whales reacted with intense grief and anger.

Kraken assessed the Demon Empress and her guards’ dwindling strength and explained Sea Dragon Douluo’s ultimatum. He urged them to fight their way out and trade their lives for a chance to save the Young Whales, leaving their decision unresolved.

• The Demon Empress and her guards panicked at Sea Dragon Douluo’s challenge and feared the Sea God Island forces would slaughter the clan’s Young Whales.
• Kraken explained that Sea Dragon’s open challenge forced a choice between a costly direct assault and a losing battle of attrition.
• Kraken asked how much strength the three wounded beasts retained, and the Demon Empress admitted she had at most thirty percent, while her guards had less than twenty and around ten percent.
• Kraken urged the beasts to use their remaining strength to fight Sea Dragon and create a chance for their bloodline to survive.

The Demon Whale Empress and her allies launched a coordinated suicidal counterattack against Sea God Island, drawing the defenders into separate fights. Kraken vanished into the battlefield’s shadows and targeted Haiwang Douluo, who realized too late that the hidden attacker had found an opening.

• The Demon Empress ignited her dying body and charged Sea Dragon Douluo, while Tieshan carried Little Moyuan toward Sea Maiden Douluo and the Demon Whale Guards attacked Sea Horse Douluo.
• Kraken dissolved into the shadows and moved to assassinate Haiwang Douluo, whose mental powers covered the battlefield.
• Sea Dragon Douluo met the Demon Empress’s charge with a powerful punch, while Sea Star Douluo shielded Sea Maiden and Sea Horse Douluo tried to restrain the guards.
• Haiwang Douluo activated his Mindscape True Body and layered mental defenses as he searched for Kraken, but the attacker remained hidden.
• Haiwang Douluo’s attention wavered toward the endangered Sea Maiden and Sea Horse, and Kraken pierced his mental defenses, announcing, “Found you.”

Kraken erased Haiwang Douluo and absorbed his origin, leaving Sea Star Douluo shocked and exposing his allies to renewed attacks. As Tieshan and Little Moyuan pressed Sea Star and Sea Maiden, Kraken vanished into the sea and locked onto Sea Dragon Douluo.

• Kraken used Dan-Devour and his Scorpion Tail to erase Haiwang Douluo and consume his origin energy.
• Sea Star Douluo saw Haiwang's death, lost his composure, and gave Tieshan an opening to charge at him and Sea Maiden Douluo.
• Little Moyuan attacked Sea Maiden Douluo from the flank while Sea Star Douluo struggled to defend them both.
• A Demon Whale Guard shattered Sea Horse Douluo's water shield, wounded him, and exposed a fatal opening.
• Kraken locked onto Sea Dragon Douluo as he fought the life-burning Demon Empress, then melted back into the sea.

The battlefield turned against the Sea Pillar guardians as Kraken used Dan-Devour to ambush Sea Dragon Douluo after his clash with Demon Empress. Sea Dragon Douluo dodged the attack but was wounded, and Demon Empress launched one last strike at his back, leaving his fate uncertain as he raised a shield with Sea God's Blessing.

• Kraken killed Haiwang Douluo, while Tieshan and Moyuan pressed Sea Star Douluo and the guards continued to wear down Sea Horse Douluo.
• Demon Empress's life-burning attack collided with Sea Dragon Douluo's Blue Dragon Fist, badly damaging her and injuring him.

• Sea Dragon Douluo dodged the gray point, but it erased a piece of his cheek and left a lingering Devouring effect.
• Demon Empress used her remaining life and soul to attack Sea Dragon Douluo from behind as Kraken's strike disrupted him.
• Sea Dragon Douluo unleashed Sea God's Blessing and formed a Dragon Scale Great Shield against Demon Empress's final attack.

Kraken used energy orbs to restore the wounded Demon Whale Guards and trick Sea Horse Douluo into abandoning his chance to stop them. The guards turned on Sea Horse Douluo as Kraken prepared to attack Sea Dragon Douluo, while the other Sea Douluo guards fell under increasing pressure.

• Sea Dragon Douluo tore away the flesh infected by Kraken’s gray Devouring power, then saw that Sea Star Douluo and Haima were in danger.
• Kraken formed two energy spheres and sent them toward Haima, prompting Sea Dragon Douluo to warn him to dodge.
• Sea Horse Douluo retreated from the spheres, while the two Demon Whale Guards swallowed them and rapidly recovered their strength.
• Sea Dragon Douluo realized Kraken had tricked him into making Haima abandon his attack, leaving the guards free to recover.
• The restored Demon Whale Guards pounced on Sea Horse Douluo as Tieshan and Moyuan pressed Sea Star Douluo, and Kraken targeted Sea Dragon Douluo with another attack.

Sea Horse Douluo was overwhelmed by the Demon Whale Guards and killed after Kraken distracted Sea Dragon Douluo. Sea Star Douluo was badly wounded, and Sea Maiden Douluo lost consciousness as the battle continued.

• The Demon Whale Guards recovered after swallowing the light orbs, then wounded Sea Horse Douluo with coordinated attacks that worsened his poisoning.
• Sea Star Douluo could not reach Sea Horse Douluo because Tieshan and Moyuan kept him occupied, while Kraken’s disappearance held Sea Dragon Douluo’s attention.
• The Demon Whale Guards blasted through Sea Horse Douluo’s defense with Annihilation Breath, killing him as he sank toward the seabed.
• Sea Star Douluo cried out at Sea Horse Douluo’s death, allowing Moyuan and Tieshan to break his defense and leave him severely injured.
• Sea Maiden Douluo was caught in the shockwave and lost consciousness.

Tieshan and Moyuan killed Sea Maiden Douluo after Sea Star Douluo was critically wounded, while Sea Dragon Douluo rescued Sea Star and fled. Kraken judged the battle a major victory, leaving Sea God Island’s strength devastated.

• Tieshan and Moyuan struck Sea Star Douluo, shattering his Martial Soul Avatar and exposing the badly wounded Sea Maiden Douluo.
• Tieshan attacked Sea Maiden Douluo, and she died as Sea Star Douluo failed to reach her.
• Sea Dragon Douluo used Sea God's Blessing to pull Sea Star Douluo away, then escaped with him toward Sea God Island.
• Kraken emerged after Sea Dragon Douluo fled and assessed the battlefield, where three Sacred Pillar Guardians had fallen and Sea God Island’s remaining forces were badly weakened.

Kraken harvested the Origins of Haima and Hainv, then used their fused energy to pull the dying Demon Whale Empress back from the brink of death. He ordered Tieshan, Moyuan, and the two guards to carry her away, while the Sea God remained a threat.

• Kraken extracted Haima and Hainv's energy Origins from their corpses and fused and purified them inside his tentacles.
• Kraken infused the fused energy into the dying Demon Whale Empress, restoring her body and stabilizing her soul flame.
• After about a quarter of an hour, Kraken stopped the infusion as the Demon Whale Empress's condition stabilized and she faintly opened her eyes.
• Kraken ordered Tieshan, Moyuan, and the two guards to take the Demon Whale Empress and leave the battlefield.
• Kraken led the group away stealthily, knowing Hailong had fled and would report their actions to the Sea God.

Sea Dragon Douluo refused Sea Star Douluo’s plea to report Sea God Island’s defeat to Lord Sea God, convincing himself that Kraken was a trial for a future Sea God heir. Meanwhile, Kraken rested in an ocean trench with the unconscious Demon Empress and planned his next move.

• Sea Star Douluo asked Sea Dragon Douluo to seek Lord Sea God’s intervention after Kraken defeated Sea God Island’s guardians.
• Sea Dragon Douluo refused, speculating that Kraken was the final trial arranged for a future Sea God heir.
• Sea Star Douluo suspected Sea Dragon Douluo was using the theory to cope with defeat, but could not challenge him.
• Kraken rested in an ocean trench as Tieshan and Moyuan placed the breathing but unconscious Demon Empress on a boulder.
• Kraken assessed the battle and considered Sea God Island’s likely response, unaware that Sea Dragon Douluo had mistaken him for a divine trial.

Kraken found that the Demon Empress needed far more energy to recover, so he disguised himself as a human and set out for land to gather it. He left the Deep Sea Demon Whale guards to contact Sea Soul Beast clans hostile to Sea God Island while Tieshan and Mo Yuan protected the empress.

• Kraken assessed the Demon Empress's wounds and concluded that the energy already given could only keep her alive, not restore her strength.
• Left Guard proposed seeking energy on land, where Soul Beasts and human Soul Masters could be hunted more discreetly than ocean clans.
• Kraken rejected the guards' plan to go themselves and reshaped his body into a human disguise, retaining his Scorpion Tail Arm and his strength.
• Kraken ordered Left Guard and Right Guard to contact powerful Sea Soul Beast clans that resented Sea God Island and tell them its defenses were weakened.
• Kraken instructed Tieshan and Mo Yuan to guard the Demon Empress, then vanished toward land.

After reaching the southwestern coast of the Heaven Dou Empire, Kraken entered a nearby town to learn about the continent’s powers. He left after discovering that Tang San’s legacy dominated the major sects, intending to seek more precise intelligence.

• Kraken concealed his dangerous bone arm and traveled inland from the coast to find a human settlement.
• He listened to townspeople and learned about regional unrest, taxes, an upcoming Soul Master tournament, and shifts in the sects’ fortunes.
• At a tavern, Kraken overheard Soul Masters describe the Clear Sky Sect, Tang Sect, and Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan as the Upper Three Sects, all connected to Tang San.
• Kraken learned that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had lost Sword and Bone Douluo and was regarded as having fallen from the Upper Three Sects.
• Kraken organized the information and left the tavern to seek a place with stronger Soul Masters and more concentrated intelligence.

Kraken arrived in Black Rock City and judged its strongest Soul Masters too weak to pursue directly. He posted a lavish, ongoing bounty at the Adventurers Guild for credible information about Titled Douluos, leaving a Soul Bone as a deposit and a fifty-thousand-year Head Soul Bone as the reward for a lead that could help him encounter one alone.

• Kraken assessed Black Rock City's Soul Masters and decided that searching for powerful targets himself would be inefficient.
• Kraken went to the Black Rock City Adventurers Guild and posted an intelligence task seeking public or semipublic information about any Titled Douluo.
• Kraken placed a blue Soul Bone on the counter as a deposit and offered one thousand to ten thousand Gold Soul Coins or equivalent materials for each verified lead.
• Kraken promised a fifty-thousand-year Head Soul Bone to anyone whose information could help him find a Titled Douluo alone and unoccupied.
• Kraken warned the guild that false or outdated information would not be accepted, then left as the bounty stirred interest among Black Rock City's Soul Masters and information brokers.

Kraken spread a rumor that a mysterious black-robed Soul Douluo was offering vast rewards for information about Titled Douluos, supposedly to secure help obtaining his ninth Soul Ring. As Soul Masters across several regions began searching for leads, Kraken watched the commotion from Nuoding City's bell tower.

• A scarred mercenary told tavern patrons that a mysterious powerhouse was seeking information about Titled Douluos and offering Gold Soul Coins and a fifty-thousand-year Head Soul Bone.
• The tavern patrons speculated that the black-robed figure was a Soul Douluo seeking a Titled Douluo's help to hunt a powerful Soul Beast for his ninth Soul Ring.
• Scarface described the figure's black robes, unusual left hand, contempt for low-ranking Soul Masters, and rumored origins at sea.
• Rumors spread across several kingdoms, prompting Soul Masters to search for information about Titled Douluos.
• Kraken watched the crowd from Nuoding City's tallest bell tower and remarked on how amusing the commotion was.

Ning Fengzhi decided the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect should help the mysterious black-robed Soul Douluo find a Title Douluo, hoping to recruit him after he advanced. Meanwhile, criminal groups began tracking Kraken to seize his rumored Soul Bone and treasures, while he continued traveling unaware.

• Ning Fengzhi concluded that helping the mysterious man obtain his ninth Soul Ring could secure him as a future guardian of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
• Ning Fengzhi ordered his intelligence network to track the man discreetly and sent Dugu Bo a request to discuss an important transaction.
• A bandit leader ordered his men to find and kill the black-robed Soul Douluo for his fifty-thousand-year head Soul Bone and other treasures.
• The Black Sha brothers and an intelligence organization also mobilized to locate and investigate the mysterious traveler.
• Kraken continued traveling through the southwestern Heaven Dou Empire, unaware that rival forces were searching for him.

Kraken used the Soul Bone as bait to lure three Soul Douluo and their followers into an abandoned mine, then annihilated them with his scorpion-tail bone arm. The chapter ended as he struck down the remaining Soul Kings and Soul Emperors with thin gray rays.

• Kraken left another coded signal at the Adventurers Guild and collected leads about a retired Star Luo Empire general.
• Kraken sensed three Soul Douluo and their followers tailing him, then led them out of the city to an abandoned mining passage.
• The three Soul Douluo confronted Kraken and demanded his Soul Bone and other valuables.
• The three Soul Douluo launched a coordinated attack, but Kraken erased them and their Soul Skills with three light taps of his bone-tail arm.
• Kraken fired gray rays at the frozen Soul Kings and Soul Emperors, striking them in the brow.

Kraken paid Old Eagle for information about a Title Douluo and learned that Bai Chenxiang had been seen fighting near the Forgotten Gobi. He left to pursue the lead, knowing she was a Title Douluo and had ties to Ma Hongjun.

• Kraken reflected that his Gray Dan-Devour left no remains, unlike Invisible, which left corpses to absorb.
• At the Wind Erosion Tavern, Old Eagle offered information about a Title Douluo for ten thousand Gold Soul Coins and led Kraken to a secluded ore yard.
• Old Eagle demanded thirty thousand Gold Soul Coins, and Kraken paid him more than that amount without bargaining.
• Old Eagle said Bai Chenxiang had been seen near the Forgotten Gobi half a month earlier, moving at high speed amid violent Soul Power clashes before disappearing.
• Old Eagle confirmed that Bai Chenxiang was a Title Douluo and said she was close to Ma Hongjun, so Kraken ended the transaction and departed.
