After settling into Sea God Village, Long Zhanye and his companions learned the details of their trials and tested the Sea God's Light.

• Sea Cloud Douluo led the group to their guest quarters, where Long Zhanye asked everyone to describe their first trials.

• Long Zhanye confirmed that the method could work for Spirit Masters of any Martial Soul attribute, then turned toward the Sea God's Light steps to plan for the remaining trials.

Long Zhanye helped Xiao Hongchen climb the Sea God's steps, where Xiao pushed past his limit by transforming into a Class 8 defensive Soul Tool to keep advancing. After the shield shattered at the 312th step, Long Zhanye caught the badly injured Xiao Hongchen with only nineteen steps left, and faced a choice about how to continue.

• Xiao Hongchen received a two-level Soul Power increase as a companion-pass reward, but the step's pressure forced him to turn into liquid metal and flow back down to safety.

• Long Zhanye descended and named his newly transformed domain the Asura Domain.

Long Zhanye and Xiao Hongchen passed the Sea God's Second Trial by using Long Zhanye's Fallen Domain to turn the sea beasts against one another. Unwilling to spend a year on the Third Trial, Long Zhanye requested a harder assessment and faced an hour-long siege by Demon Soul Great White Sharks, with no increase to the reward.

• Ji Juechen and Jiang Yixi passed their first trials, gained a Soul Power level, and began their second trials.
• Long Zhanye and Xiao Hongchen crossed the ring-shaped sea after Long Zhanye's Fallen Domain sent its sea beasts into a frenzy; Long Zhanye passed the Second Trial, and Xiao Hongchen's Soul Rings each gained five hundred years.
• Long Zhanye learned that the Third Trial required a year of tidal body tempering and asked Medusa how he could finish it sooner.
• After Medusa suggested requesting a higher difficulty, Long Zhanye asked Sea Cloud Douluo to raise the trial's difficulty, and Hai Kongming replaced it with an hour under a Demon Soul Great White Shark pod's attacks.
• Xiao Hongchen protested the danger and asked whether the greater difficulty would bring a greater reward; Hai Kongming said it would not, but Long Zhanye chose to proceed because he could not spare a year.

Long Zhanye and Xiao Hongchen faced the Demon Soul Great White Shark pod in the Sea God’s Mad Shark Body Tempering trial, surviving its attacks by using Chaos Qi and the Eternal Star Domain to hold out until time ran out. They passed the trial, earned their rewards, and Long Zhanye recognized how valuable Xiao Hongchen’s living soul-tool abilities could be in future trials.

• Sea Cloud Douluo led Long Zhanye and Xiao Hongchen to a secluded sea, summoned a pod of more than three thousand Demon Soul Great White Sharks, and explained that they had to stay on a seawater platform for one hour to pass.
• Long Zhanye spread Chaos Qi across the sea to disrupt the sharks’ coordination, but Xiao Hongchen was also blinded and disoriented by the mist.
• Two hundred-thousand-year Demon Soul Great White Sharks used Demon Shark Domain and Demon Shark Teeth to disperse the mist, locate the platform, and attack the pair.

Long Zhanye learned that his Sea God trial required him to kill the hundred-thousand-year Evil Orca King and traveled with Chen Lü and Xiao Hongchen to the orca territory. After persuading the Demon Soul Great White Sharks to fight beside him, he watched the clans clash until the Evil Orca King emerged with powerful guards and vowed to kill them all.

• Long Zhanye chose Chen Lü, who had reached level eighty, as the intended recipient of the Evil Orca King's hundred-thousand-year Spirit Soul.
• Little Gray revealed that the Evil Orca clan had at least three hundred-thousand-year soul beasts, including the 150,000-year Evil Orca King, so Long Zhanye planned to draw them out with the Demon Soul Great White Sharks.
• When the sharks began retreating from the orcas, Long Zhanye threatened their clan, but Little Gray threw him, Xiao Hongchen, and Chen Lü into the sea and rebuked him.
• Long Zhanye argued that killing the Evil Orca King would protect the sharks for generations, and Little White agreed to attack in exchange for his help.
• Little White and Little Gray led 3,000 sharks into the orca territory, and a fierce battle began as Long Zhanye, Chen Lü, and Xiao Hongchen watched from above.
• The Evil Orca King surfaced with three hundred-thousand-year guards and a female companion, then roared at Little White and threatened to kill everyone.

Long Zhanye heard the Demon Soul Great White Sharks and Evil Orcas accuse each other over their ancient war, then refused to kill the Evil Orca King and proposed that the clans settle matters in battle. Little White and Little Gray condemned him for betraying his promise, leaving the Sea God's successor estranged from the clan he had promised to help.

• Little White accused the Evil Orcas of enslaving and killing Demon Soul Great White Sharks for generations, and the Evil Orca King recognized Long Zhanye as the Sea God's successor.

• Long Zhanye declared that he would not take either side and proposed a fair battle, promising to support whichever clan won.
• Little White and Little Gray accused Long Zhanye of breaking his promise, and Little White warned that his actions would cost the Sea God the faith of sea creatures.

Long Zhanye manipulated the Evil Orca clan into slaughtering the Demon Soul Great White Shark clan, intending to undermine the Sea God's faith and claim the many soul rings left behind. The massacre ended with the sharks exterminated, and Long Zhanye and his companions faced an enormous haul of soul rings.

• Long Zhanye refused to side with either clan, prompting Little White and Little Gray to attack him before he called on the Evil Orca clan to strike.
• The Evil Orca King led his warriors against the Demon Soul Great White Sharks while Long Zhanye watched and told Chen Lü and Xiao Hongchen he planned to use the clans' powerful soul beasts for soul rings.

• The Evil Orca clan annihilated the Demon Soul Great White Shark clan after a battle lasting nearly four hours, though more than two thousand three hundred orcas were dead or wounded.
• Soul rings, including two Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Rings, filled the sea above the corpses, and Chen Lü and Xiao Hongchen marveled at the haul.

Long Zhanye helped Chen Lü form a Spirit Soul from Little White, giving him a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring and Spirit Bone. He then used the battlefield’s spoils to raise Xiao Hongchen to rank ninety and bind him to Little Gray, before devising another use for the remaining corpses.

• Chen Lü chose a Spirit Soul, and Long Zhanye erased Little White’s resentment before guiding its soul to fuse with Chen Lü.
• Chen Lü gained Little White’s Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring and Left Arm Spirit Bone, reaching rank eighty-three and a half.

• Long Zhanye sent Xiao Hongchen to bring Ye Guyi from the Sea God Staircase.
• Long Zhanye divided the sea-beast corpses into fifty-three groups and began refining their Soul Power into Secret Spirit Bones.
• Xiao Hongchen returned with Ye Guyi, and Chen Lü joined them as they watched Long Zhanye work.
• Twelve energy spheres exploded during the first half hour, leaving forty-one to continue condensing.
• After more than an hour, only seven spheres remained, but three then burst apart in a powerful blast.

Long Zhanye used the Fate Skull to complete the Secret Spirit Bone refinement, creating an External Soul Bone and two other powerful Spirit Bones. He gave Ye Guyi the two Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bones, and after she embraced and kissed him, he considered what to do next with his newly made Left Scapula.

• Long Zhanye activated the Fate Skull after another energy sphere exploded, and the remaining three spheres formed into Spirit Bones.
• Long Zhanye recognized one of the bones as an External Soul Bone, a Left Scapula he had deliberately shaped to mirror the one on his right.
• Long Zhanye gave Ye Guyi the Hundred Thousand Year Torso Soul Bone and Right Arm Bone, completing her set of six Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bones.
• Ye Guyi embraced and kissed Long Zhanye, while Xiao Hongchen and Chen Lü congratulated them.
• Long Zhanye watched Ye Guyi put the two bones away, then examined the Left Scapula and considered his next steps.

Long Zhanye spared the Evil Orca King by arranging for it to become his companion’s Spirit Soul, then helped Ye Guyi absorb two Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bones. After both Ye Guyi and Long Zhanye advanced in rank, he began using the battlefield’s soul beast corpses to increase the ages of his seventeen Soul Rings.

• Long Zhanye told the Evil Orca King that his Sea God Trial required its death, then offered it a chance to survive as a Spirit Soul; the king agreed in exchange for protection of its clan.

• Long Zhanye fused the Left Scapula External Soul Bone into himself and advanced from rank ninety-five to rank ninety-six.
• Long Zhanye used a secret technique for seven days and nights to extract energy from more than five thousand soul beast corpses and feed it into his seventeen Soul Rings.

After refining thousands of soul beast corpses, Long Zhanye’s soul rings reached unprecedented ages and his power surged. He then guided Ye Guyi through the secret art, leaving her with nine hundred-thousand-year soul rings and an evolved Ten-Winged Angel Martial Soul.

• After seven days and nights refining corpses, Long Zhanye raised his first five soul rings to three hundred thousand years and his seventh and eighth to nine hundred thousand years.
• Long Zhanye’s seventeen soul rings were all at least two hundred thousand years old, and his Soul Power advanced halfway through rank ninety-six.

Long Zhanye and Ye Guyi spent half a year in seclusion after Ye Guyi's spirit bones fused into golden armor, but his attempt to form a fourth Soul Core failed while he condensed Holy and Light Soul Cores for her. With the Sea God's Light assessment deadline approaching, Long Zhanye gathered the team and led them toward the Evil Spirit Orca territory to secure Soul Rings for Chen Yu and Wang Yanfeng.

• Ye Guyi's six spirit bones fused into a brilliant golden Spirit Bone Armor, while Long Zhanye collected the drained soul beast corpses for his Corpse Explosion Technique.
• Long Zhanye failed more than a hundred attempts to condense a fourth, Life Soul Core, but formed Holy and Light Soul Cores for Ye Guyi during their half-year seclusion.
• Long Zhanye emerged from seclusion and told the eleven companions that they would cross the Sea God's Light together the next morning, before the assessment deadline.
• Long Zhanye brought the group to the Evil Spirit Orca clan's deep-sea territory to find Soul Rings for Chen Yu and Wang Yanfeng, then sent a whistle through the water.

The Evil Orca King and his wife sacrificed themselves as Spirit Souls for Wang Yanfeng and Chen Yu, strengthening both men and completing Long Zhanye’s Sea God Fourth Trial. The group then passed their Sea God trials, while Ji Juechen’s trial rank was upgraded and he advanced to rank ninety-two.

• Long Zhanye blinded Sea Snake Douluo with Chaos Demon Light and struck him with Sun Corona Divine Radiance, breaking through his Nether Snake Domain and badly burning him.
• Sea Snake Douluo acknowledged Long Zhanye's strength, and Long Zhanye left with Xiao Hongchen for the third sacred pillar.
• As they approached the pillar, Sea Maiden Douluo's flute-like Mental Interference melody disoriented Xiao Hongchen, but Long Zhanye drove it back with his Mental Power.
• Long Zhanye sensed Sea Maiden Douluo nearby and shouted for her to reveal herself, but she appeared silently behind him.
• Long Zhanye unleashed the Asura Domain to create a small safe space around himself and Xiao Hongchen, while Sea Maiden Douluo repeatedly vanished and reappeared as she circled them.

Long Zhanye fought Sea Maiden Douluo, whose Sea Soul Melody and Mind Reading disrupted his thoughts and exposed his plans. He used the Clarity Necklace and Xiao Hongchen’s transformation into the Sun Moon Divine Needle to expose and wound her, leaving Sea Maiden Douluo baffled by how he overcame her abilities.

• Sea Maiden Douluo used her Sea Soul Melody to cloud Long Zhanye’s mind and revealed that she could read thoughts, alarming Xiao Hongchen.
• The Clarity Necklace shielded Long Zhanye’s Sea of Consciousness, and he had Xiao Hongchen transform into the Sun Moon Divine Needle.
• Long Zhanye fired the needle at the Sea Maiden Sacred Pillar, prompting Sea Maiden Douluo to split into dozens of identical clones.
• Long Zhanye redirected the needle and used the clones’ emotional reactions to identify Sea Maiden Douluo’s true body.
• The Golden Dragon Spear pierced through the clones and wounded Sea Maiden Douluo’s arms, forcing her against the sacred pillar.
• Sea Maiden Douluo questioned how Long Zhanye had resisted her melody and why her reading of his thoughts had misled her.

Long Zhanye defeated Sea Maiden Douluo through deception, a defensive soul tool, and a coordinated attack with the Bone Dragon King, then reached the Sea Phoenix Sacred Pillar and unleashed a sweeping sword attack to force Sea Phoenix Douluo out of hiding. Sea Phoenix Douluo revealed himself as the swords closed in.

• Long Zhanye used the Clarity Necklace to trick Sea Maiden Douluo into revealing her true body, then blocked her Sound String Brake with the Unbreakable Divine Shield.

• Long Zhanye unleashed his eighth soul skill, Sovereign Myriad Sword Divine Art, raining giant swords across the area around the pillar.
• Sea Phoenix Douluo emerged from hiding as the swords were about to strike.

• Sea Phoenix Douluo summoned an Ice Phoenix to shield the Sea Phoenix Sacred Pillar from Long Zhanye’s falling greatswords, but the phoenix shattered and he was badly injured.
• Sea Phoenix Douluo borrowed power from the Sacred Pillar, raised his strength to the level of a rank ninety-six Super Douluo, and unleashed his eighth Soul Skill, Thousand Phoenix Dance.

• Sea Phoenix Douluo acknowledged Long Zhanye’s victory and said he had no grievance about losing to a monster like him.

Long Zhanye faced Sea Elephant Douluo, the strongest of the five Sacred Pillar Guardians, and revealed his extraordinary Twin Martial Souls and soul rings.

• Long Zhanye proposed that neither fighter use sacred pillar power, soul ring skills, or Spirit Bone skills, and Sea Elephant Douluo agreed to the wager.

Long Zhanye and Sea Elephant Douluo fought under a wager that barred the use of Soul Ring and Spirit Bone skills. Long Zhanye broke Sea Elephant Douluo’s defenses with his Asura Domain and Golden Dragon Spear, but Sea Elephant Douluo survived and the two remained locked in a tense standoff.
