Chapter Summaries

Bing Yekong gathered Shui Bing'er, Shui Yue'er, Feng Xiaotian, Huo Wu, and Huo Wushuang to tell them that the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud could lead them to Sea God Island and its god-tier legacy, and they all agreed to go. After Shui Qingrou gave her permission and warned them to return safely, the six set out from Element City and reached the coast after fourteen days of travel.

• Bing Yekong showed the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud to Shui Bing'er, Shui Yue'er, Feng Xiaotian, Huo Wu, and Huo Wushuang and invited them to seek the Sea God Legacy on Sea God Island.
• Shui Bing'er, Shui Yue'er, Feng Xiaotian, Huo Wu, and Huo Wushuang agreed to accompany Bing Yekong.
• Shui Qingrou warned Bing Yekong about the dangers of Sea God Island, told him to prepare supplies, and gave him permission to go on the conditions that he and the Shui sisters return unharmed.
• Bing Yekong and the five others departed from Element City after receiving farewells and advice from Shui Qingrou, Yang Wudi, Dugu Bo, Feng Tianlin, and Huo Lieyang.
• The six traveled east, restocked supplies and prepared their horses on the way, and heard the ocean waves on the evening of their fourteenth day.

Bing Yekong and his companions bought and provisioned a ship in Wavewatch Town, then set sail southeast toward Sea God Island. After twelve days at sea, changing winds disrupted their progress.

• Bing Yekong bought the Wave Chaser and a sea chart marked with Ghost-God Island.
• The six companions stocked the ship with water, food, and supplies before leaving Wavewatch Town at dawn.
• Bing Yekong tied the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud to the mast, followed its guidance southeast, and sailed away with the others.
• For ten days, the companions sailed through favorable weather while taking turns with their duties aboard the ship.
• On the eleventh day, erratic winds made the sail billow and collapse, slowing the Wave Chaser.

Bing Yekong and his companions encountered the Deep Sea Demon Whale King while crossing an expanse of inky-blue sea. A mysterious dark-red phantom appeared and drove the beast away, then vanished after studying Bing Yekong and the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud.

• Bing Yekong ordered the Wave Chaser to speed through the dark water after sensing a huge creature beneath it.
• The Deep Sea Demon Whale King rose from the sea, lifted the ship, and prepared to attack the six travelers.
• A dark-red phantom descended from the clouds, and its gaze extinguished the whale king's attack and made it flee underwater.
• The phantom inspected the crew and the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud, lingered on Bing Yekong, and then dissipated.

After the Deep Sea Demon Whale King fled from the dark red phantom, Bing Yekong recognized the aura as belonging to the Asura God and found a dormant trace of divine consciousness in his Sea of Spirit. In the God Realm, Poseidon confronted the Asura God over his interference with the candidate chosen by the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud.

• The Deep Sea Demon Whale King departed, and Bing Yekong recognized the phantom's murderous aura as that of the Asura God.
• Bing Yekong reassured the crew, identified the phantom as a god, and ordered the Wave Chaser to continue southeast.
• Bing Yekong found a dormant speck of dark red light in his Sea of Spirit and left it untouched.
• Poseidon saw the Asura God's dark red light near the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud's chosen candidate and went to confront him.
• The Asura God defended his claim to Bing Yekong, citing his victories in Slaughter City and his foundation for the God of Slaughter Domain.

Asura God and Poseidon agreed to let Feng Xiaotian choose between their divine trials when he reached Sea God Island. After fifteen calm days at sea, Feng Xiaotian and his companions arrived at the island and began coming ashore.

• Asura God claimed Feng Xiaotian as his candidate, and Poseidon challenged him to a bet over which divine legacy Feng Xiaotian would choose.
• Wave Chaser sailed southeast for fifteen uneventful days after the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King incident.
• Feng Xiaotian spotted Sea God Island on the horizon, and Bing Yekong identified its central pillar as one of the Seven Sacred Pillars.
• Bing Yekong slowed Wave Chaser as it approached the island, and the group anchored near the shore.
• The companions gathered their supplies, waded through the shallows, and Huo Wushuang stepped onto the beach first.

Bing Yekong used the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud to prove the group had been chosen by the Sea God, allowing them to enter Sea God Island and face its trials. Feng Xiaotian and Huo Wu received Black Sixfold Trials, while the rest of the group had yet to test themselves.

• Sea Horse Douluo barred the six outsiders from entering Sea God Island, but the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud summoned a phantom of Lord Sea God and changed his mind.
• Sea Horse Douluo identified himself as the guardian of the Sea Horse Sacred Pillar and led the group through the forest to the trial platform.
• Sea Horse Douluo explained that the sacred pillar assigned trials ranked from white to red based on each person's talent and affinity with the Sea God's power.
• Feng Xiaotian touched the pillar and received a Black Sixfold Trial, marked by a black star on his forehead.
• Huo Wu received the same Black Sixfold Trial, then returned calmly as Feng Xiaotian remarked on her composure.

Shui Bing'er received a red-level eight-trial Sea God inheritance, while Bing Yekong's test summoned both the Sea God and Asura God. The two deities disputed his succession, and Asura God demanded that Bing Yekong choose a path.

• Huo Wushuang received a black-level five-trial test, and Shui Yue'er received a black-level four-trial test.
• Shui Bing'er triggered a red light and received the Sea God's red-level eight trials.
• Bing Yekong touched the Sea Horse Sacred Pillar, causing golden and red lights to rise together.
• Bing Yekong saw the Sea God Poseidon and Asura God appear in his Sea of Spirit.
• The Sea God claimed Bing Yekong as his successor because he carried the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud, while Asura God argued that Bing Yekong already bore his inheritance seed and demanded that he choose between them.

Bing Yekong persuaded the Sea God and Asura God to let him pursue both divine inheritances through his two martial souls. He received a golden-and-crimson Nine-Pointed Star, and Sea Horse Douluo led him and his companions toward their accommodations before the trials were revealed at dawn.

• Bing Yekong told the Sea God and Asura God that he would pursue both divine paths with his Ice Dragon King and Frostblade Sword martial souls.
• The Sea God warned that the two inheritances could conflict, but Bing Yekong insisted he would find a way to make them coexist.
• The Sea God agreed to let his Nine Trials descend as normal, and the Asura God accepted Bing Yekong's gamble while warning him of the risks.
• Bing Yekong awoke with a golden-and-crimson Nine-Pointed Star branded on his forehead, astonishing Sea Horse Douluo and the others.
• Sea Horse Douluo said the trial details would arrive at dawn and led Bing Yekong and his companions toward their accommodations.

Bing Yekong and the others received their first trials, which required them to climb steps covered by the Sea God's Light. He urged the group to spend the year cultivating under its pressure and leave completing their step requirements until the deadline.

• Shui Yue'er woke Bing Yekong and led him to the Sea Horse Sacred Pillar, where the others had gathered.
• Bing Yekong received the Crossing the Sea God's Light trial and learned he had to climb 520 of the 1,001 steps within a year.
• Sea Horse Douluo explained that the Sea God's Light grew stronger with each step and could temper their bodies, spiritual power, and soul power.
• Bing Yekong proposed that the group climb and cultivate gradually, saving their final push to meet their requirements until the last days.
• Sea Horse Douluo directed the group toward the stairs on the southern side of the main pillar.

Bing Yekong and the others tested their limits on the Sea God's Light staircase, which grew more oppressive with every step. He reached 120 steps before turning back, while Shui Bing'er reached 60 and the others stopped between 35 and 50.

• Bing Yekong led Feng Xiaotian, Huo Wu, Huo Wushuang, Shui Bing'er, and Shui Yue'er to the staircase and explained that they should stop when they reached their limits.
• The group climbed until the pressure forced Shui Yue'er to stop at 35 steps, Huo Wushuang at 40, Huo Wu at 45, Feng Xiaotian at 50, and Shui Bing'er at 60.
• Bing Yekong continued climbing through increasingly intense pressure and reached 120 steps before deciding that going farther risked injury.
• Bing Yekong descended and rejoined the others, who compared their results at the base of the staircase.
• Shui Bing'er told the group that Sea God's Light tempered their bones and muscles, and that repeated climbs would make them stronger.

Bing Yekong laid out a yearlong training plan for the group to climb the Sea God's Light Stairway and refine its residual energy, while preparing to reach level five hundred and twenty himself. A year later, Shui Yue'er, Huo Wushuang, Huo Wu, and Feng Xiaotian completed their first trials, while Bing Yekong and Shui Bing'er had yet to climb.

• Bing Yekong advised the group to climb twice daily and meditate afterward to absorb the Sea God's Light energy, and Sea Horse Douluo praised their affinity with it.
• Shui Yue'er and Huo Wushuang noticed small gains from refining the residual energy, while Feng Xiaotian asked for a good lunch before another climb.
• Bing Yekong told Shui Bing'er he would build his foundation for three months, accelerate his progress later, and spend the final two months challenging level five hundred and twenty.
• A year later, Shui Yue'er steadily climbed to level one hundred and completed the first trial of her Black-Level Four Trials.
• Huo Wushuang, Huo Wu, and Feng Xiaotian also completed their trials at levels between one hundred and one hundred and twenty, while Bing Yekong and Shui Bing'er had not yet climbed.

Shui Bing'er passed her assessment by reaching the 188th step of the Sea God's Light Stairway. Bing Yekong then began his climb toward the 520th step, overcoming the 500th-step hurdle and reaching 515 before the chapter ended.

• Shui Bing'er climbed the Sea God's Light Stairway and reached the required 188th step, passing her assessment.
• Shui Bing'er descended and rejoined the others, while the red Eight-pointed Star on her forehead glowed more deeply than before.
• Bing Yekong began his assessment climb toward the 520th step, drawing on his year of training and the Nine-Pointed Star between his brows.
• Bing Yekong climbed past the 500th step, where he had previously been repeatedly thrown back, and continued onward.
• Bing Yekong reached the 515th step and braced himself against the surging Sea God's Light.

Bing Yekong reached the five hundred and twentieth step of the Sea God's Light Stairway, completing the first trial of the Dual-God Nine Trials and receiving its rewards. Bo Saixi arrived with a Divine-Bestowed Soul Ring for his eighth Soul Ring, and he began absorbing it.

• Bing Yekong reached level five hundred and twenty as the Sea God's and Asura's powers clashed within him, then descended to rejoin his companions.
• The Nine-Pointed Star on Bing Yekong's forehead released a pillar of light, and energy strengthened his Soul Rings and increased his affinity with both divine thrones.
• Bo Saixi appeared before Bing Yekong and confirmed that news of his completed trial had reached the God Realm.
• Bo Saixi gave Bing Yekong a Divine-Bestowed Soul Ring and told him to absorb it at his own pace.
• Bing Yekong sat cross-legged and began absorbing the Divine-Bestowed Soul Ring's energy.

Bing Yekong absorbed a Divine-Bestowed Soul Ring that reached three hundred thousand years, raising his Soul Power to level eighty-five. After Bo Saixi announced that the second trial would begin in seven days, he rested with his companions and sensed his growing connection to the Sea God and Asura divine powers.

• Bing Yekong absorbed the Divine-Bestowed Soul Ring over a day and a night as his companions waited nearby.
• Bo Saixi identified the completed ring as three hundred thousand years old, and Bing Yekong's Soul Power rose from level eighty to level eighty-five.
• Bo Saixi told Bing Yekong to consolidate his Soul Power before the second trial descended in seven days.
• Huo Wushuang, Feng Xiaotian, Huo Wu, Shui Bing'er, and Shui Yue'er reacted to Bing Yekong's new ring and celebrated with him.
• Bing Yekong sensed that his Sea God's Power affinity and control of Asura Divine Power had improved after completing the first stage of the Path of Two Gods.

After consolidating his new power, Bing Yekong and the others received the second trial: cross the Ring Sea without killing any sea soul beasts. Sea Horse Douluo brought them to the crowded waters, where they began inspecting the crossing before attempting it.

• Bing Yekong sparred with Feng Xiaotian and Huo Wushuang as he adjusted to his eighth Soul Ring, and he said he could handle ordinary Titled Douluo.
• On the seventh morning, the six learned that their second trial was to cross the Ring Sea without killing any sea soul beasts.
• After breakfast, Sea Horse Douluo led the group north to the Ring Sea and explained that hundreds of sea soul beasts lived in its waters.
• The group inspected the shore and the water, realizing they would need to move quickly or find a way to keep the sea soul beasts from reaching them.

Bing Yekong and Shui Bing'er froze a solid path across the Ring Sea, allowing their group to cross without entering the water. Halfway across, a gigantic sea beast struck the ice and opened cracks that the two raced to seal.

• Bing Yekong proposed freezing a path across the Ring Sea, and Shui Bing'er agreed to help.
• Bing Yekong and Shui Bing'er combined their Ultimate Ice powers to create a wide, solid path connecting the two shores.
• The group walked across the ice while sea soul beasts gathered beneath it and struck at its edges.
• A gigantic sea beast rose beneath the group and slammed into the path, sending cracks through the ice.
• Bing Yekong tried to repair the cracks, and Shui Bing'er poured in more cold to seal them.

Bing Yekong and his companions crossed the Ring Sea, passed their second Sea God trials, and spent half a month recovering before receiving the requirements for the third trial. As Bing Yekong reflected beneath a banyan tree, he realized he had been on Sea God Island for two years and three months.

• Bing Yekong and Shui Bing'er reinforced an ice path until the shadow beneath the Ring Sea stopped attacking, allowing the group to reach the opposite shore safely.
• The group received the rewards for completing their second trials, and Sea Horse Douluo announced that the third trial would begin in half a month.
• Bing Yekong practiced his new eighth soul skill during the recovery period, accidentally blasting a pit and dirtying Shui Yue'er's laundry.
• Bing Yekong and Shui Bing'er received the third trial's information ahead of schedule, and he told her they would discuss it the next day.
• Bing Yekong stood beneath a banyan tree and realized that two years and three months had passed since he arrived on Sea God Island.

Five years after winning the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament, Bing Yekong and his companions faced the sixth Sea God trial: surviving one incense stick beneath Bo Saixi. The trial began on the Ring Sea’s central island, where Bo Saixi vanished and launched her first attack.

• Five years after the tournament, Bing Yekong and his companions had grown much stronger, with Bing Yekong and Shui Bing'er reaching rank ninety and the others advancing to Soul Emperor, Soul Saint, or Soul Douluo levels.
• During the fourth trial, Bing Yekong had defeated the hundred-thousand-year Evil Orca King with the Ice Dragon King and gained its red Soul Ring and right leg bone.
• Bing Yekong, Shui Bing'er, Feng Xiaotian, and Huo Wu received a sixth trial requiring them to endure one incense stick beneath rank ninety-nine Limit Douluo Bo Saixi.
• Bing Yekong estimated that Bo Saixi could overwhelm them quickly if she attacked seriously, but concluded that the trial would limit her strength to what they could endure.
• The four took their positions on the central island of the Ring Sea as Bo Saixi explained the trial and the lit incense stick began to burn.
• Bo Saixi announced the start, vanished from sight, and sent overwhelming pressure crashing toward Bing Yekong.

Bing Yekong and his companions fought Bo Saixi through the incense trial but could not overcome her. As the incense burned out, Bing Yekong revealed that Tang Chen was alive and trapped in Slaughter City as the King of Slaughter.

• Bing Yekong and Shui Bing'er combined their powers with Ice Phoenix Strike, but Bo Saixi stopped the attack with one hand.
• Feng Xiaotian and Huo Wu attacked together, but Bo Saixi blocked their wind and fire and forced Feng Xiaotian back.
• Bing Yekong spread Divine Slaughter's Domain, drawing Bo Saixi's interest as the four continued fighting and suffered injuries.
• Bo Saixi intensified her tidal assault, driving the four to the edge of the island as the incense neared its end.
• Bing Yekong shouted that he knew where Tang Chen was, and Bo Saixi stopped the tide as the incense went out.
• Bing Yekong told Bo Saixi that Tang Chen was alive as the King of Slaughter in Slaughter City and explained how his trials had led him to recognize Tang Chen's power.

After completing the sixth trial, Bing Yekong promised Bo Saixi that he would free Tang Chen from Slaughter City and bring him back to Sea God Island. His seventh trial was revealed three days later, requiring him and Shui Bing'er to draw the Sea God Trident and the Asura Demon Sword simultaneously.

• Bing Yekong told Bo Saixi that Tang Chen was trapped in Slaughter City and promised to reunite them before he became a god.
• Bo Saixi accepted his promise and agreed to assist him earnestly with his remaining trials.
• Bing Yekong's affinity with the Dual Divine Thrones rose from seventy percent to ninety percent, and he stabilized at level ninety.
• Three nights later, Bing Yekong received the seventh trial's instructions to draw both divine weapons in Sea God's Hall.
• Shui Bing'er received the same trial message, which required her to assist Bing Yekong throughout the process.
