Chapter Summaries

The God Kings prepared for the approaching connection with a parallel God Realm, while Bibi Dong realized that Qian Xunji came from another world. In Sea God City, the Shrek group attempted the Tide-Call Platform trials, and Dai Mubai stepped into the water after Tang San and Yu Xiaogang hesitated.

• The Five Great God Kings discussed the deforming barrier between the worlds and ordered the God Realm to withdraw its forces and prepare for either conflict or negotiation.
• Bibi Dong connected the sky phenomenon to Qian Xunji’s origins and wondered whether another version of herself had escaped her fate and ended up with Xiaogang.
• Zhao Wuji advanced three steps in Myriad Tides Ravine and received a yellow-rank, three-trial assessment.
• Zhu Zhuqing advanced six steps and earned a black-rank, six-trial assessment, while Oscar, Ma Hongjun, and Ning Rongrong each advanced seven steps and received top-rank trials.
• Hai Saidong suspected the Sea God was rushing the group’s growth because of an upheaval in the God Realm and reasoned that one of the remaining candidates was likely the Sea God’s inheritor.
• Dai Mubai walked past the hesitant Tang San and Yu Xiaogang and entered Myriad Tides Ravine first.

Dai Mubai pushed through the Tide-Call Platform’s trials and received the Sea God’s Pseudo-Nine Trials, learning that he could still inherit the Sea God’s position if he transformed and gathered the ocean’s faith. Hai Saidong explained that he could gain that faith by subduing or eradicating sea soul beasts that rejected the Sea God, and that fear and reputation could also bring him their sacrifices.

• Dai Mubai forced his way through eight steps and part of the ninth before an unseen barrier stopped him, earning the Sea God’s Pseudo-Nine Trials.
• Hai Saidong told Dai Mubai that his talent fell short of the usual standard but that he could inherit the Sea God’s position by completing the trials and gathering the ocean’s faith.
• Dai Mubai questioned how he could earn sea soul beasts’ faith when human soul masters needed to hunt them for soul rings.
• Hai Saidong explained that the Sea God’s followers could hunt sea soul beasts and that Dai Mubai would need to subdue or eradicate those who rejected the Sea God.
• Hai Saidong said that making the seas fear the Sea God’s will could also persuade sea soul beasts near the end of their lives to sacrifice themselves to Dai Mubai.

Tang San attempted Myriad Tides Ravine but was overwhelmed by the currents and earned a black-rank trial, while the Sea God watched from the God Realm and revealed why she had withheld his reward. Dai Mubai embraced Hai Saidong’s teaching about restoring the Sea God’s majesty, leaving Tang San’s resentment and the Sea God’s distrust of him unresolved.

• Dai Mubai concluded that the Sea God’s inheritance required suppressing the sea, while Tang San and Yu Xiaogang watched him with hatred.
• Tang San stepped into Myriad Tides Ravine and forced himself forward by channeling his fear and resentment into anger toward Qian San and the Sea God.
• After Tang San managed six steps, the pool turned black and overwhelmed him, and Hai Saidong rescued him and assigned him a black-rank trial with six trials.
• The Sea God watched Tang San’s failed attempt through a water mirror and dismissed his resentment.
• The Sea God revealed that she had withheld Tang San’s reward because his divine power entangled him with the God King of Evil and the Earth Hammer God, threatening her position.

Yu Xiaogang failed the Myriad Tides Ravine trial and received a humiliating White-grade half trial, while Sea God was summoned to an urgent God Realm Committee meeting. The chapter left Yu Xiaogang unconscious after Flender turned away from him.

• Sea God heard the God Realm’s highest-level summons and hurried toward the God Realm Committee, troubled by strange signs over Douluo Planet.
• Yu Xiaogang tried to enter the pool but bounced on its surface until he finally broke through after fifteen leaps.
• Myriad Tides Ravine’s negative emotions overwhelmed Yu Xiaogang as soon as he entered, and he collapsed face-down in the water.
• Hai Saidong pulled Yu Xiaogang from the pool and declared his result a White-grade half trial, prompting Shrek and the guards to laugh.
• Yu Xiaogang saw Flender turn his back on him and fainted from shame, rage, and despair.

Luo Ren unleashed the Red Tide Demon Algae against the Blood Abyss, but Qian San and the others countered the blood-filled waters and dismantled the hunting group's ship formation. As Dai Zhuqing and Yu Rongrong attacked Luo Ren, Qian San's light elements burned away the Red Tide and left its giant arm momentarily exposed.

• Luo Ren cut a young seal to spread the Red Tide spores through the sea and trap the Blood Abyss in blood algae.
• Qian San covered his teammates in Liquid Battle Armor while Niu Lanjun raised water barriers to shield their ship.
• Xiao Qing tore apart the chains linking the whaling ships, and Feng Qing freed the caged juvenile sea soul beasts.
• Dugu Yan traced the Red Tide spores to a mother algae tank in Luo Ren's flagship, while Qian San seized control of the ships' metal weapons and formed a path to the flagship.
• Dai Zhuqing and Yu Rongrong used their Martial Soul Fusion Skill to attack Luo Ren as Xiao Qing blocked his escape.
• Qian San burned away the Red Tide with light elements, interrupting Luo Ren's giant algae arm just before it struck.

Qian San and Dai Zhuqing defeated the Red Tide Hunting Group, rescued the juvenile sea soul beasts, and brought the criminals to Asura Island for judgment. Dai Zhuqing received the Second Trial reward and unlocked Crime Weighing, while Qian San and Xiao Qing gained the Prototype Slaughter Domain.

• Qian San destroyed the mother algae tank and defeated Luo Ren, while Dai Zhuqing subdued him and the group bound the remaining hunters.
• Feng Qing and Niu Lanjun freed the juvenile sea soul beasts, which thanked their rescuers before swimming away.
• Fu Lanya and Zhao Youji arrived, and Qian San ordered the Red Tide Hunting Group taken to Asura Island.
• At Questioning Punishment Reef, Dai Zhuqing presented evidence of the group's crimes, abolished Luo Ren's Soul Power, and sentenced him to labor in the mines for life.
• Dai Zhuqing completed the Second Trial, gained one Soul Power rank and unlocked Crime Weighing; Qian San and Xiao Qing each gained one rank and the Prototype Slaughter Domain.

After passing the second trial, Dai Zhuqing and the others received the third Asura trial: restore seven Prison-Suppressing Nails on Black-Iron Dead Island before the Blood-Armored Prisoner escaped. As the Blood Abyss approached the island, Ao Shushun and Niu Lanjun broke through to the next Soul Power level.

• Qian San and the others celebrated their Soul Power breakthroughs before the third trial was announced.
• Ao Shushun found Black-Iron Dead Island on a sea chart recovered from the Red Tide Hunting Group's flagship.
• Bo Saixi explained that the seven nails sealed the Blood-Armored Prisoner, a monster formed from the resentment and remains of slain sea Soul Beasts, and warned that the seal had loosened.
• Qian San ordered everyone aboard the Blood Abyss to reach the island within the seven-day limit.
• Two days into the voyage, Ao Shushun and Niu Lanjun each broke through to the next Soul Power level as the sea fog thickened.

Ao Shushun and Niu Lanjun reached level forty, prompting the team to change course to hunt for their fourth Spirit Rings before the trial. In Sea God City, the group received their first trials and entered the Myriad Tides Sea Eye, while Yu Xiaogang was left to solve a map-based half trial.

• Ao Shushun and Niu Lanjun broke through to level forty, and Dai Zhuqing warned that they could not use their fourth soul skills without Spirit Rings.
• Qian San rejected postponing the hunt, and Dai Zhuqing steered the team toward the Reef Hunting Grounds to find fourth Spirit Rings for Oscar and Lanjun.
• Yu Xiaogang woke on the Tide-Call Platform and recalled his humiliating failure before the Sea God issued trials to the group, including a map puzzle for him.
• Hai Saidong explained that the Tide Steps were pressure boundaries and that Dai Mubai's Double Myriad Tides trial imposed twice the usual pressure.
• Dai Mubai, Oscar, Ma Hongjun, Zhu Zhuqing, and the others leaped into the Myriad Tides Sea Eye, while Yu Xiaogang studied the shifting map from shore.

The Claes team reached Black-Iron Dead Island to face the Blood-Armored Prisoner, a monster that could copy their abilities. After testing it with basic attacks, Qian San and the others learned that its copied attacks came after a short delay and scaled with the strength of the originals.

• Niu Lanjun absorbed a Tide-Calling Sea Crane ring and gained a wide-area stunning skill, while Ao Shushun gained a sausage that enabled underwater breathing and reduced incoming attacks.
• Qian San led the Claes team to Black-Iron Dead Island, leaving Zhao Youji and Fu Lanya outside to provide backup.
• Guided by Dai Zhuqing's Asura Sword Seal, the team found the loosened Prison-Suppressing Nails and the grotesque Blood-Armored Prisoner feeding on the blood aura beneath them.
• The Blood-Armored Prisoner copied abilities belonging to Xiao Qing, Niu Lanjun, Feng Qing, and Dugu Yan, prompting Qian San to order the team to test it with basic attacks.
• Qian San attacked with Liquid Metal darts, and the monster copied his throwing attack after a delay; Xiao Qing observed that it took three to five seconds to retaliate and that its attack strength matched the original.

Qian San and the others restored the seven Prison-Suppressing Nails and sealed the Blood-Armored Prisoner. Dai Zhuqing completed the third Asura trial and received the Sin-Locking Armguard, while learning she must return to the blood pool for her next trial.

• Qian San devised a plan to exploit the Blood-Armored Prisoner's copying ability and sent the others to reinforce the outer nails.
• Qian San baited the monster into copying his metal shield, then Niu Lanjun stunned it with his fourth soul skill.
• Qian San detonated the metal spears, embedded darts, and copied blood shield, then drove the final nails into place as the others pressed the remaining nails down.
• The restored formation dissolved the Blood-Armored Prisoner's fragments and dragged them underground, sealing the prison.
• Dai Zhuqing received the third-trial reward, increased Asura affinity, and unlocked the Sin-Locking Armguard, which could bind targets with three chains.

Qian San and his companions received rewards for completing Asura’s third trial, then learned the rules of a fourth trial that required them to cross a formation without strengthening its commander. Meanwhile, the God Realm imposed a total lockdown over the threat of contact with the Surface World, as two passages opened on Douluo Planet and drew the attention of nearby people.

• Qian San discovered that his Killing Domain could concentrate its killing intent into a blade that ignored most defenses against opponents of equal or lower rank, while the others received Projection Refinement rewards.
• The group learned that the fourth trial required all eight to reach a blood banner and kill the Punishment Commander without letting all 108 Punishment Soldiers die, then Qian San ordered them back to Asura Island.
• The God King of Goodness told the Assembly of a Hundred Gods that the Surface World was contacting their universe and ordered the God Realm into total lockdown, threatening punishment for unauthorized departures.
• Spatial passages opened at Kelaishi Academy and in a forest outside Star Luo City, where hunters and mercenary Soul Elders gathered to investigate.

Qian Xunji received the Dragon God's Blood Tears after cleaning the dragon bones, then learned that a passage to another world had opened. The Angel God King ordered him to guard it, so he and Huang Tian left Dragon Court for Douluo Continent.

• Soul Masters discovered that the passage allowed Soul Ancestors below level fifty to enter but repelled Soul Kings and stronger fighters.
• While Qian Xunji and Huang Tian cleaned the dragon bones, dark-red blood aura gathered into a bracelet of Dragon God's Blood Tears on his wrist.
• Huang Tian explained that the blood tears increased Qian Xunji's damage against non-dragons by fifteen percent and embodied the Dragon God's guilt, regret, and hatred toward the God Realm.
• The Angel God King gave Qian Xunji the fourth trial: guard the passage and kill anyone too powerful who tried to force entry.
• Qian Xunji and Huang Tian left Dragon Court and headed toward Douluo Continent to inspect the passage.

Qian Xunji discovered that the Angel God King’s divine power was secretly reinforcing the spatial passage outside Star Luo City, apparently to help someone or something pass through. When Dai Zhuyun arrived and her guard provoked him, Qian Xunji revealed overwhelming strength, and Dai Zhuyun bowed to him.

• Qian Xunji intimidated the royal guards and learned that the passage only allowed Soul Ancestors through, while an identical passage had appeared at the Claes ruins in the Heaven Dou Empire.
• Qian Xunji approached the passage, triggering the Angel God Bones in his arms to release divine power, and Huang Tian noticed that the passage’s spatial barrier had strengthened.
• Qian Xunji realized the Angel God King’s trial had used him to reinforce the passage and guide someone or something through from the other side.
• Dai Zhuyun arrived with an imperial escort, and her Soul Sage guard challenged Qian Xunji for refusing to kneel.
• Qian Xunji struck the guard away with a casual motion, and Dai Zhuyun recognized his formidable strength and bowed to him.

Dai Zhuyun revealed that an envoy from another Star Luo Empire had emerged from the spatial rift, just as that empire’s delegation arrived. In Sea God City, Yu Xiaogang failed his assessment and lost the Golden Sacred Dragon Bloodline, which the Sea God offered as a prize to whoever reached the deepest Tide Steps first.

• Dai Zhuyun told Qian Xunji that an envoy from the spatial rift had called their world a different one and that a delegation was expected for negotiations.
• Dai Weisi, Zhu Zhuyun, and their five teammates emerged from the spatial passage as the Surface World Star Luo Empire delegation.
• Yu Xiaogang tried to pass the Floating Tide Map assessment by circling the entire chart, but the Sea God declared him a failure and punished him.
• The Sea God's Light stripped the Golden Sacred Dragon Bloodline from Luo Sanpao, and Hai Saidong restrained Yu Xiaogang as he tried to reclaim it.
• The Sea God offered the bloodline to whoever passed through the three hundred and thirty-third Tide Steps fastest, prompting Dai Mubai and the Shrek group to look toward the deepest level.

The Sea God’s reward drove the students to compete for Yu Xiaogang’s Golden Sacred Dragon bloodline, while Yu Xiaogang realized Tang San would not help him recover it. Elsewhere, Dai Weisi and Zhu Zhuyun crossed into another world and met Qian Xunji.

• The students abandoned their orderly diving assessment and raced toward the seabed to claim Yu Xiaogang’s bloodline.
• Yu Xiaogang begged Tang San to retrieve the bloodline, but Tang San ignored him and continued diving for it himself.
• Yu Xiaogang asked Flender and Zhao Wuji to intervene, but they silently agreed not to challenge the Sea God’s reward or risk alienating the students.
• Dai Weisi, Zhu Zhuyun, and five Star Luo Royal Academy members emerged from a spatial passage near Star Luo City, startling the gathered soldiers and civilians with Zhu Zhuyun’s resemblance to Dai Zhuyun.
• Dai Weisi introduced himself to Qian Xunji and explained that he had crossed worlds after a barrier appeared and learned that this was another Douluo Continent.

Qian Xunji and Huang Tian uncovered the Angel God King's hidden use of Qian Xunji to reinforce the passage and planned to exploit it to reach the Surface World and claim the Silver Dragon King's power. As the worlds began to overlap, Bo Saixi revealed that the God Realm was sealed and the Sea God's inheritance had begun stirring.

• Dai Weisi secured Qian Xunji's permission to proceed with diplomacy and led his delegation toward Star Luo City.
• Qian Xunji and Huang Tian realized the Angel God King was using Qian Xunji as a mobile formation core to strengthen the passage, and planned to travel through it to seize the Silver Dragon King's power.
• Feng Xiaotian, Huo Wu, Huo Wushuang, Shui Bing'er, and seven other Surface World geniuses gathered at the ruins of Kelaishi Academy as Feng Xiaotian declared he was coming for his cousin.
• Qian San's group arrived at Asura Island and saw an image of Sea God Island overlapping the sky above it.
• Bo Saixi told Qian San and Dai Zhuqing that the God Realm was in full lockdown and that the Sea God's inheritance had stirred, prompting the Sea God to grant the Pseudo-Nine Trials.

Qian San and the others fought projections of themselves in the Asura third trial, gaining a level and insight into their flaws. They then began the fourth trial, facing executioners using tactics refined from their own combat.

• Bo Saixi led the group to a blood pool, where eight projections appeared and copied their Martial Soul Possessions and abilities.
• Qian San and his companions fought the projections, which mirrored and countered their moves while drawing seemingly inexhaustible Soul Power from the pool.
• The group was separated into sealed spaces and fought their projections until they collapsed, after which the projections merged into them and completed Projection Refinement.
• The refinement raised everyone's Soul Power by one level and gave them a first-person view of their combat flaws.
• The group returned above the pool in a dark-red plain, where the Asura Fourth Trial began and 108 executioner soldiers approached using tactics resembling the group's optimized techniques.

Dai Weisi and Zhu Zhuyun exchanged intelligence about their worlds with Empress Dai Wanying, while Qian Xunji drove the guards away from the passage and prepared to strike it with the Angel God King's power. As Dai Weisi's group returned, a golden sword scar appeared in the distance, leaving them despairing.

• Dai Weisi presented his world's intelligence to Empress Dai Wanying and received Dai Zhuyun's dossier in exchange.
• Dai Weisi left to report to his father, and Dai Zhuyun warned Dai Wanying that a dangerous figure had arrived at the passage.
• Huang Tian assured Qian Xunji that the Nine-Colored Dragon God's Shedding concealed her, then returned to Dragon Court through a spatial rift.
• Qian Xunji released Titled Douluo pressure to drive the Star Luo guards away from the passage.
• Qian Xunji channeled the God King's attack in his Angel God Bones through Oath of the Angel and slashed at the passage.
• Dai Weisi's returning group saw a golden sword scar appear in the distance and looked on in despair.

Qian Xunji used Oath of the Angel on the realm passage and felt three mysterious calls, then sent Huang Tian to investigate the one from the Angel Sect. On Asura Island, Dai Zhuqing completed the fourth trial and unlocked the Banner Bearer seal.

• Qian Xunji's strike expanded the passage and triggered calls from the Surface World, Haotian Hall, and the Angel Sect.
• Qian Xunji found that his spiritual power could not probe the reinforced passage and suspected its carrying limit still needed testing.
• Huang Tian returned after sensing the energy surge, and Qian Xunji sent her to the Angel Sect with his blood essence to investigate its reaction.
• The passage also expanded in the Surface World, where its shockwave nearly wiped out the Star Luo Empire guards and Soul Masters on watch.
• Dai Zhuqing defeated the execution chief, seized the blood flag, and joined the other seven trial-takers beneath it before sunset.
• Asura's Fourth Trial was declared complete, rewarding Dai Zhuqing and unlocking the third seal, Banner Bearer.

Huang Tian followed a drop of blood essence to the Angel Sect’s Light-Fixing Platform, an unexplained relic hidden in the ancestral hall. The platform split open to reveal gray-gold metal, and Huang Tian recognized that she had found what she was seeking.

• Huang Tian entered the Angel Sect unseen and followed the blood essence toward the main peak.
• Huang Tian asked the elders about an inexplicable object in the sect, and Second Elder identified the Light-Fixing Platform in the ancestral hall.
• Seventh Elder led Huang Tian to the ancestral hall, where she told him not to repeat his claim that she was the Sect Master's daughter.
• Huang Tian released the blood essence above the Light-Fixing Platform, and it split into equal gold and platinum drops.
• A crack opened in the platform and exposed gray-gold metal, which Huang Tian recognized as her target.
