• Tie Xiong told Dragon Duke and Snake Granny he planned to take Meng Yiran to Sea God Island, and they urged the group to leave quickly.
• After three days of recovery, Tie Xiong departed by ship with Dugu Yan, Meng Yiran, Ye Lingling, Shui Bing'er, and Shui Yue'er, having reached rank seventy.
• Tie Xiong explained that successful Sea God trials could grant God-Given Soul Rings, and his companions vowed to work hard.
• After five days at sea, the ship neared Sea God Island, and the Demon Soul Great White Sharks opened a path for their leader, Xiao Bai.

Dugu Yan received the Sea God’s inheritance on Sea God Island, where she was assigned the Sea God Nine Trials. Tie Xiong then asked Bo Saixi to let the rest of their group undergo trials as well.

• Dugu Yan showed Xiao Bai the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud, and Xiao Bai recognized it as the Sea God Trident’s core and guided the group to Sea God Island.
• Bo Saixi met the group at a Sacred Pillar and learned from Dugu Yan how the Sea God Heart had recognized her.
• Bo Saixi began Dugu Yan’s god’s trial, and the Sacred Pillar’s light changed through several colors before turning red.
• Six other Sacred Pillars joined the first in sending red beams skyward, and their light converged into nine golden trial screens that entered Dugu Yan’s brow.
• A Trident mark appeared on Dugu Yan’s forehead, and Bo Saixi explained that she had to complete at least one Sea God trial each year.
• Tie Xiong asked Bo Saixi to let him and the others undergo the trials too.

Bo Saixi assessed Tie Xiong's companions, granting Meng Yiran and Ye Lingling Top-Tier Seven Trials, Shui Bing'er Black-Level Six Trials, and Shui Yue'er Purple-Extreme Three Trials. Tie Xiong's assessment began and its red light shot into the sky, but the chapter ended before his trial was revealed.

• Bo Saixi began assigning trials to Tie Xiong's companions, and Meng Yiran received the Top-Tier Seven Trials.
• Ye Lingling also received the Top-Tier Seven Trials, which eased her doubts about her Martial Soul.
• Shui Bing'er received Black-Level Six Trials, while Shui Yue'er received Purple-Extreme Three Trials and vowed not to give up.
• Tie Xiong stepped forward for his assessment, and the Sacred Pillar's light rapidly changed from blue to purple, black, and red before shooting skyward.

Tie Xiong received a Top-tier Eight Trial assessment and began absorbing a God-Given Soul Ring for his Seventh Soul Skill. He pushed himself to raise the ring’s age as high as possible, while Dugu Yan and the others set off to begin their own trials.

• Tie Xiong received eight red assessment screens, marking him for Top-tier Eight Trials, and saw that his first trial was the Sea God's Light.

• Tie Xiong told Dugu Yan and the others to begin their trials while he absorbed his Seventh Soul Ring, and Dugu Yan reassured him before they left with the seniors.
• Bo Saixi summoned a God-Given Soul Ring for Tie Xiong, who spread his Earth Domain across Sea God Island and absorbed the Divine Power pouring from the golden pearl.
• Tie Xiong's Heaven Breaking Hammer appeared with four black and two red Soul Rings, and his new Seventh Soul Ring rapidly surpassed the hundred-thousand-year level as he endured the Divine Power's pressure.

Tie Xiong endured the Sea God's overwhelming Divine Power to raise his Seventh Soul Ring to an extraordinary age while tempering his body and strengthening his Soul Core. A month into the process, the Sea God realized Tie Xiong was treating the punishing trial as an opportunity to grow.

• Bo Saixi watched in shock as Tie Xiong's strength approached her own, while Dugu Yan and the others left to continue their trial.
• After a month, Tie Xiong directed more than half the Divine Power into his Soul Core to strengthen it, and the Sea God realized that Tie Xiong seemed to enjoy enduring the pain.

Tie Xiong absorbed a six-hundred-and-fifty-thousand-year Soul Ring while the Sea God supplied him with Divine Power, raising his Soul Power to level seventy-six and transforming his body. After Xiao Bai mistook his golden radiance for the Sea God’s return, Meng Yiran began absorbing a God-Given Soul Ring at Sea God Mountain.

• The Sea God increased the Divine Power flowing to Tie Xiong, who endured four months of Soul Ring absorption and body tempering.
• Tie Xiong gained a six-hundred-and-fifty-thousand-year Soul Ring, reached level seventy-six, and radiated golden light that invigorated Sea God Island.

• At the thirty-third step, Tie Xiong found Ye Lingling and offered his domain's help against the Sea God's Light as she trained for her trial.

Tie Xiong tested his limits in the Sea God’s Light and began cultivating on the five hundred and first step. As his divine Heaven Breaking Hammer absorbed the golden mist and his body continued transforming, he expected his Eighth Soul Ring and the fusion of his Soul Bones to help him reach a God Body.

• Tie Xiong used his Earth Domain to catch Dugu Yan after the Sea God’s Light threw her from the fortieth step, then helped her recover and warned her against pushing too hard.
• Dugu Yan said she was nearing Rank 70 and wanted to absorb a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring, while Tie Xiong revealed he was Rank 76 and had a Six-Hundred-and-Fifty-Thousand-Year Soul Ring.
• Tie Xiong climbed without using his domain or External Soul Bone until the hundredth step, then advanced to the five hundredth step as the pressure grew overwhelming.
• Tie Xiong used his domain and External Soul Bone to reach the five hundred and first step, where he sat down to cultivate in the Sea God’s Light.
• Tie Xiong reflected that his Heaven Breaking Hammer had become a divine artifact and that he could use Ring Detonation without suffering a weakened state.
• The golden mist refined Tie Xiong’s body as his Heaven Breaking Hammer, Soul Core, and Soul Power grew stronger.

In the God Realm, the Asura God punished Supros for interfering in the lower realm and proposed bringing Tie Xiong up as a God Official. The God King of Destruction and the Sea God opposed him, leaving the dispute over Tie Xiong’s fate unresolved.

• Supros reported that Tie Xiong had defeated Tang Chen and Tang Hao and remained stronger than the Asura God's inheritors on Douluo Planet.
• The Asura God stripped Supros of five levels of Divine Power for a hundred years, and Supros accepted the punishment.
• The God King of Destruction, the Goddess of Life, and the Sea God entered the Octagonal Hall, and the God King of Destruction called for Supros to be executed.
• The Asura God defended Supros and proposed bringing Tie Xiong into the God Realm early as a God Official.
• The Sea God argued that Tie Xiong deserved a First-Level God's Divine Position, while the God King of Destruction opposed bringing him into the upper realm and supported letting him create his own Divine Position.

The God Kings agreed to delay a decision on the Sea God's request by calling an expanded committee meeting, while Tie Xiong completed his first Top-tier Eight Trials test on Sea God Island. He reached level seventy-nine as Dugu Yan climbed the Sea God's Light, and Tie Xiong stepped in when she neared her limit.

• The God King of Destruction proposed that all first-rank and second-rank gods discuss and vote on the special case at an expanded meeting, and the Asura God agreed.

• Tie Xiong used his Earth Domain to help Dugu Yan reach the three-hundred-and-thirtieth step, completing her first trial and gaining five percent Sea God's affinity.
• Meng Yiran passed her trial alone, while Shui Bing'er and Ye Lingling used Tie Xiong's amplification to pass theirs, and Shui Yue'er completed her seventy-two-step trial on her own.

• Bo Saixi entered her Martial Soul Avatar state and unleashed the Ocean Power of her Sea God Domain against Tie Xiong.

• Bo Saixi gave Tie Xiong a God-Given Soul Ring, and he stored it for later use while reflecting on his cultivation gains and growing Mental Power.
• After seven days of cultivation, Tie Xiong summoned Xiao Bai and told her he planned to kill the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King for his eighth Soul Ring.
