Chen Yuan returned to Heaven Dou City after months away and reunited with Bei Bei and Tang Ya, revealing that he had become a seventeen-year-old Soul Saint. He left the friends stunned as they prepared to face the Iron Blood Sect and its powerful backers.

  • Chen Yuan emerged from the Yang Spring, asked Aromatic Silk Beauty how long he had been gone, and left the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well with Dali Gu.

Ch. 155Radiant Flame Strike

Chen Yuan tested Radiant Flame Strike by destroying the Iron Blood Sect and defeating the Holy Spirit Cult offering Soul-Devouring Douluo, drawing the attention of Du Busi. The chapter ended with Du Busi catching Xian Lin’er’s spear and insisting he would not attack Mu En’s descendant.

  • Bei Bei recognized Chen Yuan’s Golden Soul Ring and offered his and Xu Sanshi’s support on Chen Yuan’s path to godhood.

Ch. 156A title?

  • Chen Yuan challenged Du Busi’s questioning by demanding an explanation from the Heaven Soul Imperial Family for the Iron Blood Sect’s murder of Tang Ya’s parents and seizure of the Tang Sect’s grounds.

  • Du Busi ended the spar and declared that Chen Yuan deserved to be called the strongest of the younger generation and the future Martial God Douluo.
  • Du Busi’s proclamation reached all of Heaven Dou City, exciting its residents and angering Xian Lin'er, who was already known as the Martial God Douluo.
  • Bei Bei and Tang Ya checked that Chen Yuan was unharmed, then Bei Bei led them back to the inn while the title spread across the continent.

Ch. 158Soul Refining

Ch. 159Vast Sea City

Chen Yuan arrived in Vast Sea City and learned that a yearly storm and Sea Soul Beast tide were approaching, then went to the shore to watch the gathered beasts. He and Dali Gu found a stranded orca and tried to return it to the sea, but it resisted.

  • Chen Yuan reached Vast Sea City and sensed that the city was bracing for a major threat.
  • An old man told Chen Yuan that a storm and a Sea Soul Beast tide would strike the city, recalling a hundred-thousand-year beast that had attacked twenty-four years earlier.
  • Chen Yuan checked into a hotel, saw thousands of Sea Soul Beasts gathering offshore, and wondered whether the Sea God Clan would intervene if the city lord could not hold them back.

  • Chen Yuan and Dali Gu found a black-and-white orca stranded on the beach and agreed to return it to the sea, but the orca resisted being dragged back.

Ch. 160Sea Soul Beast Tide

Chen Yuan witnessed the Sea Soul Beast tide assault Vast Sea City and learned that the apparent leader was not the true threat. The whale revealed itself as a hundred-thousand-year Soul Beast, leaving the city’s defenders facing a far more dangerous battle.

  • Chen Yuan sheltered a frightened orca in a cliff cave and watched a storm gather over the ocean.

Ch. 161Beneath the sea

Chen Yuan watched Chen Honggang arrive with the Sea Dragon Sacred Pillar to fight the Sea Soul Beast tide, then rode an orca into the deep sea to find Lan Fozi. He learned that Lan Fozi’s mother was away foraging and that she brought Lan Fozi to the waters near Vast Sea City each year.

  • A 150,000-year-old flying fish broke the lord of Vast Sea City’s Soul Power nets and attacked him alongside a whale, until Chen Honggang arrived with the Sea Dragon Sacred Pillar.
  • Chen Yuan recognized the pillar’s power and considered seeking the Sea God Clan for information about the Fire God inheritance and Slaughter City.
  • An orca warned Chen Yuan that a stronger creature might be nearby, so he offered it a Life Evergreen Vine leaf in exchange for taking him to a Deep Sea Demon Whale.
  • The orca carried Chen Yuan and Dali Gu through the deep sea to a lone Deep Sea Demon Whale, whom Chen Yuan identified as Lan Fozi.
  • Lan Fozi told Chen Yuan that her mother was away foraging and usually brought her to the waters near Vast Sea City each year.

Ch. 162Demon Empress

Chen Yuan confronted Lan Fozi and summoned the Demon Empress, while the Sea Dragon Sacred Pillar and the other guardians faced the Demon Empress’s attack on Vast Sea City. The Demon Empress rushed to her daughter, where Chen Yuan challenged her for causing the sea-beast tides, and she asked whether he intended to kill her.

  • Chen Yuan struck Lan Fozi unconscious enough to send a warning through the sea, then waited on her body for the Demon Empress.

  • Chen Yuan demonstrated his strength to the Demon Empress and demanded that she find the Star Luo Continent and another continent, then take him there.
  • The Demon Empress agreed after Chen Yuan promised her a chance to kill Sea God Tang San, and he took a portion of her soul before releasing Lan Fozi.

  • Chen Yang recognized Chen Yuan's golden Soul Ring as evidence of a divine inheritance and invited him to Vast Sea City.

Ch. 164The Sea God's Past

Chen Yang brought Chen Yuan to the hidden Sea God Clan settlement and shared its history and records about Sea God Tang San. As Chen Yuan searched the scrolls, he learned that Tang San had ordered the clan to stay out of the continental collision four thousand years earlier, leaving him to question the clan’s role as Tang San’s fallback.

  • Chen Yang gave Chen Yuan scrolls about events surrounding Tang San’s ascension and said the records suggested gods had a limited number of people they could bring to the Divine Realm.
  • Chen Yuan asked why the Sea God Clan had not intervened in the continental collision four thousand years earlier, and Chen Yang said the clan had been unable to act for reasons he could not disclose.
  • Chen Yuan recalled that Tang San had personally ordered the clan to remain in seclusion and concluded that Tang San had treated it as a fallback without giving it much attention.
