Chapter Summaries

The group crossed Sea God Island’s hundred-meter sea trial, while Yu Xiaogang used Luo Sanpao’s gas attacks to propel himself across. He reached the opposite shore but was met with laughter from the assembled crowd.

• Sea Dragon noticed that Bibi Dong’s Soul Tool carried a trace of Sea God’s divine aura, while the others wondered about the treasure.
• Tang Hao, Tang Xiao, Yu Xiaogan, and the other trial participants crossed the sea using their abilities, leaving Yu Yuanzhen and Yu Xiaogang behind.
• Yu Yuanzhen encouraged Yu Xiaogang to try, and the crowd mocked him for relying on Luo Sanpao’s farts to cross.
• Yu Xiaogang asked Sea Dragon about the trial’s rewards and decided to make the attempt for the Soul Power reward.
• Yu Xiaogang used Luo Sanpao’s two fart-based skills to fend off sea beasts and ride the resulting thrust to the opposite shore.
• The crowd laughed at Yu Xiaogang’s crossing method, and he lay on the ground in embarrassment.

The group underwent assessments at the Sea Dragon Sacred Pillar, where most land Soul Masters received lower-level trials than expected. Tang Hao and Tang Xiao earned Black-Level assessments, while the Sea God watched their results with the Asura God in the God Realm.

• Sea Dragon Douluo explained that land Soul Masters had only one year to complete their trials and warned that the Sea God might grant them lower assessments.
• The young disciples received mostly Yellow- and Purple-Level trials, with a few receiving White-Level trials, surprising Qian Xunji and Tang Chen.
• Yu Xiaogan received Purple-Level Three Trials, while Yu Xiaogang received White-Level One Trial and was mocked before retreating into the crowd.
• Tang Hao received Black-Level Six Trials and Tang Xiao received Black-Level Five Trials, prompting cheers from the Clear Sky Sect disciples.
• Tang Hao looked challengingly at Yu Changge, who wondered why he was being singled out despite not taking the assessment.
• In the God Realm, the Sea God watched the assessments in a water mirror as the Asura God remarked on his granting two Black-Level assessments.

Tang Chen received the Red-Rank Eight Trials, while Bibi Dong obtained the Sea God Nine Trials and its golden trident mark. After the others received their assessments, Tang Hao asked why Yu Changge had not taken one, and Sea Dragon Douluo explained that Yu Changge already bore another god’s inheritance mark.

• Tang Chen received the Red-Rank Eight Trials and learned that passing them could make him Sea God Island’s next Grand Elder.
• Bibi Dong’s sacred pillar assessment rose beyond red, granting her the Sea God Nine Trials and a golden trident mark.
• Bo Saixi told Bibi Dong that no one on Sea God Island could accept her bow after she received the Sea God Nine Trials.
• Qian Xunji, Yue Guan, and Gui Mei received Black-Level Trials, each with only one assessment.
• Tang Hao asked why Yu Changge had not taken the assessment, and Sea Dragon Douluo said Yu Changge already bore a blood-red sword mark from another god’s inheritance.

Yu Changge’s Asura God King inheritance stunned the gathered clans and provoked Tang Hao and Tang Chen, while the others learned the varied requirements of their Sea God trials. Bibi Dong’s first trial was to pass through Sea God’s Light, and Qian Xunji hinted that his own Black-Level trial was bizarre.

• Yu Yuanzhen learned from Yu Tianqing that Yu Changge had obtained a god’s inheritance and felt proud that his clan was connected to him.
• Tang Hao protested that Yu Changge received a divine inheritance while Tang Chen had only received Red-Rank Eight Trials, and Tang Chen vowed to seek a god’s inheritance after completing his trials.
• Sea Dragon Douluo told everyone to sense their first trials, revealing requirements ranging from defeating Sea Soul Beasts to performing public stunts.
• Bibi Dong learned that her first trial was to pass through Sea God’s Light, and Sea Dragon Douluo offered to lead the group to Sea God Mountain.
• Yu Changge asked Qian Xunji about his Black-Level One Trial, and Qian Xunji said its requirement was bizarre.

Qian Xunji and Yu Xiaogang learned that their divine trials demanded unusual tasks, while several others received trials tied to Bibi Dong or the Sea God’s Light. Yu Xiaogang began his trial by enduring Luo Sanpao’s gas in a sealed barrier, but he struggled to hold his breath.

• Qian Xunji revealed that his Black-Level One Trial required him to have an offspring within three years, and Qian Daoliu confirmed he could leave Sea God Island.
• Yue Guan and Gui Mei learned that their trial was to accompany Bibi Dong through her first four trials, while the other Black-Level-or-higher trial holders had to cross the Sea God’s Light.
• Yu Xiaoqian disclosed that his Purple-Level One Trial required him to defeat an Evil Spirit Orca with at least five thousand years of cultivation within a year.
• Yu Xiaogang revealed that his White-Level One Trial required Yu Yuanzhen to seal him and Luo Sanpao inside a soul power barrier while Luo Sanpao used three soul skills.
• Yu Yuanzhen formed the barrier, and Yu Xiaogang began the trial as Luo Sanpao’s first soul skill filled it with foul gas.
• Yu Xiaogang held his breath until his lungs nearly gave out, then involuntarily inhaled the gas.

Yu Xiaogang passed out while enduring the Sea God's foul-smelling trial, as the Sea God explained to the Asura God how he planned to restore the Angel Godhood through Qian Xunji's future child. The Sea God also revealed that Tang Chen's trials would make him a replacement sacrifice for Bo Saixi if Bibi Dong reached the ninth trial.

• Yu Xiaogang inhaled the gas trapped inside the barrier until he lost consciousness.
• The Sea God told the Asura God that he designed difficult trials to amuse himself and withhold rewards from those who failed.
• The Sea God explained that he planned to use a fragment of Angel Divine Power to prepare Qian Xunji's child to open the Angel Nine Trials.
• The Sea God said Qian Daoliu's soul could be revived after he sacrificed himself to activate the Angel inheritance.
• The Sea God revealed that Tang Chen was meant to replace Bo Saixi as the sacrifice if Bibi Dong reached the ninth trial.

Yu Xiaogang failed his first Sea God trial after passing out before the incense burned out, while Yu Changge’s Second Asura Trial transformed part of Sea God Mountain’s staircase into a Slaughter Staircase. The staircase remained for a year, and a Clear Sky Sect disciple was immediately thrown back by its pressure.

• Yu Xiaogang woke after Yu Yuanzhen dispelled the Soul Power barrier, but learned he had failed because he lost consciousness during the trial.
• Sea Dragon Douluo led the group to Sea God Mountain and explained the staircase and the one-year period for completing their assessments.
• Yu Changge received the Second Asura Trial’s requirement to reach the 666th step and endure killing intent until his Divine Slaughter’s Domain advanced and his Soul Power reached Rank Eighty.
• A blood-red barrier and killing-intent haze appeared over part of the staircase, and Bo Saixi explained that it was Yu Changge’s trial and that islanders could use it for training.
• A Clear Sky Sect disciple tried the Slaughter Staircase but was hurled off after reaching the second step.

Bibi Dong and the other Soul Masters tested Sea God’s Light and discovered it could accelerate cultivation, while Yu Changge began his dangerous Asura trial on the Slaughter Staircase. The chapter left Yu Changge climbing past the hundredth step as Sea Dragon Douluo wondered how far he could go.

• Yu Xiaogan reached the twelfth step, while Tang Hao and Tang Xiao used their enhancement skills to reach the fiftieth before Sea God’s Light threw them back.
• Bibi Dong climbed to the sixtieth step, used Spider God Possession and her Eight Spider Lances, then sat down to cultivate after sensing that Sea God’s Light sped up Soul Power circulation.
• Sea Dragon Douluo advised the assessed Soul Masters to cultivate at suitable steps and warned that some Black-Level candidates had died trying to complete the first trial.
• Yu Xiaogang struggled to stand on the first stair as Yu Yuanzhen urged him to prepare for his breath-holding assessment.
• Yu Changge began his Second Asura Trial, rapidly climbed beyond one hundred steps, and activated Dragon Transformation and his External Soul Bones when the killing intent surged.
• Sea Dragon Douluo watched Yu Changge’s climb and wondered whether the Slaughter Staircase could help him raise his Soul Power.

Yu Changge reached the one hundred and fifty-first step before withdrawing to endure the Killing Qi, while Sea Dragon Douluo and the others began climbing. As Tang Chen and the Qian family members discussed Qian Xunji’s marriage and the limits of their trials, Qian Daoliu reflected that Tang Chen’s Red-Rank Eight Trials might prevent him from ever pursuing another divine inheritance.

• Yu Changge stopped at the one hundred and fifty-first step, retreated to the one hundred and thirtieth, and began enduring the Killing Qi.
• Sea Dragon Douluo climbed the Slaughter Staircase with Tang Chen, Qian Xunji, Qian Daoliu, and the others, and the Titled Douluos found the first step manageable.
• Tang Chen asked Qian Xunji whether he would marry during his three-year trial, and Qian Xunji said he planned to marry a woman from the Angel lineage of the Qian Clan.
• Tang Chen teased Qian Xunji about choosing a woman from Sea God Island, and Qian Xunji rejected the idea of making Bo Saixi his partner.
• Qian Daoliu explained that Bo Saixi could not freely leave Sea God Island, while Tang Chen acknowledged his attraction to her but said he wanted to complete his trials first.
• Qian Daoliu concluded that Tang Chen’s role as a Sea God representative would likely prevent him from seeking another divine inheritance, but he knew only the Sea God or Bo Saixi could tell Tang Chen.

Tang Chen challenged Bo Saixi to test her strength, while learning that completing the Sea God trials would greatly increase the age of his Soul Rings. Bo Saixi wondered why the Sea God had given Tang Chen the Red-Rank Eight Trials and what role he might have in her future sacrifice for Bibi Dong.

• Tang Chen and Qian Daoliu reached the six-hundredth step of the Slaughter Staircase, and Qian Daoliu explained that his Angel Domain carried killing intent.
• Tang Chen and Qian Daoliu flew to Sea God Mountain, where Tang Chen prepared to challenge Bo Saixi.
• Bo Saixi summoned the Sea God phantom and revealed her Soul Ring configuration as Tang Chen brought out his Clear Sky Hammer.
• Bo Saixi told Tang Chen that completing the trials would increase each of his Soul Rings' ages by fifteen thousand years and grant other rewards.
• Bo Saixi privately wondered whether Tang Chen would become the next High Priest or sacrifice himself for Bibi Dong, as Tang Chen eagerly called for their fight to begin.

Tang Chen fought Bo Saixi on Sea God Mountain, using Ring Detonation and the Great Sumeru Hammer against her Sea God Domain and power over the sea. They ended the sparring match exhausted, and Bo Saixi judged Tang Chen weaker than Qian Daoliu while noting the limits of his technique.

• Tang Chen attacked Bo Saixi with his Clear Sky Hammer, but her water shield blocked the blow, and she explained that she could command the sea throughout Sea God Island.
• Tang Chen detonated Soul Rings and used the Great Sumeru Hammer, while Bo Saixi's Sea God Domain suppressed his Divine Slaughter's Domain.
• Bo Saixi sent a Water Dragon at Tang Chen, who shattered it with his hammer before detonating his remaining Soul Rings and activating his Spirit Bones.
• Bo Saixi used Sea God's Avatar and gathered the ocean's power to meet Tang Chen's final strike with a towering tidal wave.
• Tang Chen and Bo Saixi landed pale and exhausted, and Bo Saixi concluded that Tang Chen was weaker than Qian Daoliu and that his strongest attack consumed nearly all his Soul Power.

Tang Chen lost to Bo Saixi in a spar, while the Sea God Island visitors continued their cultivation and trials over the next half year. Yu Xiaogang began his third attempt at the White-Level One Trial, hoping his breath-holding practice would finally let him pass.

• Tang Chen asked Bo Saixi how much strength she had used, and she said about ninety percent, though Qian Daoliu judged that she had used far less.
• Tang Hao and Tang Xiao wondered whether Qian Daoliu had held back against Tang Chen or grown stronger, while Bibi Dong and Yu Changge paid little attention to the spar.
• Over half a year, Yu Changge rose to rank eighty, Bibi Dong reached rank sixty-six, Yu Shuyao and Yu Ming each gained a rank, and Tang Hao and Tang Xiao also advanced.
• Yu Xiaogang failed his second White-Level One Trial after twenty minutes, then trained until he could hold his breath for fifteen minutes and reached peak rank twenty-six.
• Yu Yuanzhen sealed Yu Xiaogang inside an airtight Soul Power barrier for his third trial, and Yu Xiaogang summoned Luo Sanpao after taking a deep breath and holding it.

Yu Changge and Bibi Dong discussed their assessments, Soul Rings, and cultivation while Yu Xiaogang retook his White-Level Assessment by filling the barrier with gas from Luo Sanpao. Onlookers proposed combining his skills with Fire or Lightning attacks, but Yu Yuanzhen and others explained that the technique had already been tested and was weak.

• The gathered Soul Masters watched Yu Xiaogang retake his White-Level Assessment, while some discussed whether he could pass.
• Yu Changge told Bibi Dong that he had reached Eightieth Rank and discussed his Second Asura Trial and the need for Xiao Huang's Eighth Soul Ring.
• Bibi Dong discussed her Sea God's Light assessment and the difficulty of obtaining a Death Spider Emperor Soul Ring, and Yu Changge suggested she use a God-Bestowed Soul Ring instead.
• Yu Xiaogang used Luo Sanpao's First Soul Skill three times inside the barrier, filling it with yellowish-green gas.
• A Spirit Hall Soul Master proposed combining Yu Xiaogang's skills with Fire or Lightning attacks, but Yu Yuanzhen and the others explained that such a combination had been tested and was too weak.

Yu Xiaogang endured his trial inside a barrier filled with his own foul gas and received a reward that restored his Martial Soul to normal. The change sparked widespread laughter as onlookers imagined how his Soul Skills might work after Martial Soul Possession.

• Yu Xiaogang struggled to breathe inside the gas-filled barrier, and Luo Sanpao licked his face instead of biting him when he asked for help.
• After the incense burned out, Yu Yuanzhen removed the barrier and Sea Dragon Douluo washed away the lingering smell.
• Yu Xiaogang received a reward restoring his Martial Soul, and Luo Sanpao vanished as a purple dwarf dragon phantom appeared behind him.
• Onlookers realized Yu Xiaogang might take on Luo Sanpao's traits during Martial Soul Possession and joked that he might have to release Soul Skills from his anus.
• Yu Changge and Bibi Dong burst out laughing, setting off laughter throughout the crowd while Yu Yuanzhen tried to contain himself.

Yu Xiaogang protested the unexpected change to Luo Sanpao, while the Sea God explained that he had altered the Martial Soul partly for amusement. On Sea God Island, Bo Saixi then gave Tang Hao and Yu Changge God-Bestowed Soul Rings as assessment rewards.

• Yu Xiaogang complained that his reward changed Luo Sanpao into a Possessed Martial Soul without purifying its Dragon Clan bloodline, and Sea Dragon Douluo warned him not to insult the Sea God.
• The Sea God told Asura God that he had secretly extracted Luo Sanpao's remaining Radiant Sacred Dragon bloodline and admitted he had changed the Martial Soul for entertainment.
• Bo Saixi appeared on Sea God Island and gave Tang Hao a God-Bestowed Soul Ring for reaching the Seventieth Rank.
• Bo Saixi gave Yu Changge a God-Bestowed Soul Ring on behalf of Asura God and Sea God, and Yu Changge accepted it.

Tang Chen advised Tang Hao to save his God-Bestowed Soul Ring for his Eighth Soul Ring and gave him an inherited Left Leg Bone, while Bo Saixi secretly hoped Tang Chen would complete his trials before Bibi Dong so he could take her place as the sacrifice. Tang Chen left to capture an Evil Spirit Orca, and Tang Hao began absorbing the Spirit Bone as Yu Changge chose to absorb his God-Bestowed Soul Ring.

• Tang Chen told Tang Hao to save his God-Bestowed Soul Ring until he reached the Eightieth Rank, explaining that Tidal Body Tempering would strengthen his physique.
• Tang Chen reflected on his progress through the Red-Rank trials and planned to keep using the Slaughter Staircase to evolve Divine Slaughter's Domain.
• Bo Saixi revealed to herself that the Sea God intended Tang Chen to replace her as the sacrifice if he completed the trials before Bibi Dong.
• Tang Chen promised to capture a suitable Sea Soul Beast for Tang Hao's Seventh Soul Ring and gave him the sect's inherited Left Leg Bone.
• Tang Chen asked Qian Daoliu to protect Tang Hao, then left while Tang Hao began absorbing the Spirit Bone.
• Yu Changge decided to absorb his God-Bestowed Soul Ring.

Yu Changge absorbed a God-Bestowed Soul Ring that reached the Hundred-Thousand-Year Tier, bringing his Seventh and Eighth Soul Rings to that level and raising him to Level eighty-four and a half. He revealed his new Eighth Soul Skills and considered how he would develop his Body Martial Soul.

• Yu Changge absorbed the God-Bestowed Soul Ring in less than two hours, and it became a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring.
• Tang Hao finished absorbing a Spirit Bone, saw Yu Changge's crimson ring, and learned from Tang Xiao what had happened.
• Yu Changge publicly revealed eight Soul Rings, including two Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Rings, and told Bibi Dong he was Level eighty-four and a half.
• Yu Changge planned to build his Body Martial Soul around the five elemental attributes of the five viscera, plus spiritual power and strength.
• Yu Changge sensed his Eighth Soul Ring's Radiant Dragon Meteor Array and Dragon King Sky-Rending Slash Soul Skills.

Yu Changge gained two powerful Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Skills while Tang Hao absorbed a sixty-thousand-year Evil Spirit Orca Soul Ring and took comfort in Tang Chen’s promise that Ring Detonation would let him surpass Yu Changge. Half a year later, Yu Changge stood on the Slaughter Staircase’s thousandth step, pushing his Divine Slaughter’s Domain toward its advanced form.

• Yu Changge considered the abilities of his new Soul Skills and weighed possible future Soul Rings, including the Ice Empress and Snow Empress.
• Tang Chen brought Tang Hao an Evil Spirit Orca over sixty thousand years old, and Tang Hao absorbed its Soul Ring.
• Tang Xiao told Tang Chen that Yu Changge had two Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Rings, and Tang Chen reassured Tang Hao that Ring Detonation could make him stronger.
• Yu Changge climbed beyond the six hundred and sixty-sixth step because its killing intent was insufficient to advance his Divine Slaughter’s Domain.
• On the final day, Yu Changge reached the thousandth step, where his domain had absorbed immense killing intent and become tangible.

Bibi Dong and Yu Changge struggled to complete their Sea God trials on the final day. Bibi Dong passed the first trial, while Yu Changge remained at the thousandth step trying to advance his Divine Slaughter's Domain.

• Yu Shuyao worried that Bibi Dong and Yu Changge might not finish their trials before nightfall.
• Bibi Dong climbed to the three-hundredth step, then fused her two Martial Souls into the Netherworld Spider Emperor and pushed onward.
• Bibi Dong reached the three-hundred-and-thirty-third step, broke through to the Seventieth Rank, and passed the Sea God's First Trial, gaining five percent Sea God Affinity.
• Bibi Dong watched Yu Changge continue enduring the Second Asura Trial at the thousandth step as he tried to advance his Divine Slaughter's Domain.
• Tang Chen questioned how Bibi Dong had fused her two Martial Souls, and Qian Daoliu explained that compatible Martial Souls could achieve Self Martial Soul Fusion.

Yu Changge evolved Divine Slaughter's Domain into the Slaughter Domain and cleared his Second Asura Trial alongside Bibi Dong, earning five percent more divine affinity each. The group learned that their next trials would require them to cross the Ring Sea together, but Yu Changge faced severe restrictions that left everyone unsure how they could succeed.

• Yu Changge absorbed enough murderous aura on the Slaughter Staircase to evolve Divine Slaughter's Domain into the Slaughter Domain, then received the message that he had cleared his Second Asura Trial and gained five percent Asura God affinity.
• Yu Changge and Bibi Dong joined the others below the staircase, where Qian Daoliu explained that divine affinity, rather than Soul Power, was needed to inherit a divine position.
• Bo Saixi congratulated Bibi Dong and Yu Changge, then gave God-Bestowed Soul Rings to Bibi Dong and Tang Xiao for breaking through their bottlenecks.
• Bibi Dong learned that her Second Sea God Trial required her to cross the Ring Sea without using any Soul Rings.
• Yu Changge revealed that his Third Asura Trial required him and Bibi Dong to cross the Ring Sea together, while forbidding him from using Soul Rings, Spirit Bones, or Xiao Huang.
