Chapter Summaries

Ye Yu and the others trained on the Sea God Stairway, where Bai Chenxiang broke through to Soul Power Level 46. Bo Saixi explained that Black Level and higher examinees could receive a God-Bestowed Soul Ring at a bottleneck, and Ye Yu prepared to use one for his Seventh Soul Ring.

• Bai Chenxiang endured the Sea God Stairway’s pressure and reached the seventeenth step, raising her Soul Power Level to 46.
• Oscar, Ma Hongjun, and Ning Rongrong reached their limits on the stairs, and Ye Yu encouraged them to cooperate and train there for a year.
• Bo Saixi agreed to provide the group with food, water, and laundry service while they remained on the island.
• Bo Saixi revealed that Ma Hongjun and Ye Yu had reached soul-power bottlenecks and could each obtain a God-Bestowed Soul Ring without hunting a Soul Beast.
• Ye Yu challenged Sea Horse Douluo and the other guardians to bet on his Seventh Soul Ring’s age, predicting it would exceed two hundred thousand years.

Ye Yu absorbed a 240,000-year God-Bestowed Soul Ring and gained a Seventh Soul Skill that drastically reduced Soul Power consumption, then received a 240,000-year God-Bestowed Soul Bone with powerful attributes and teleportation. After Bo Saixi and the Seven Douluo departed, the group turned to Ma Hongjun, who revealed his newly acquired Sixth Soul Skill.

• Ye Yu absorbed the Oblivion River Autumn Water Dew, shared the remaining herbs with Tang San and the others, and explained that his Seventh Soul Skill reduced Soul Power consumption by eighty percent.
• Tang San and the others realized Ye Yu could eventually use Soul Skills without consuming Soul Power, and the Seven Douluo praised his formidable fighting and support abilities.
• A golden light bestowed a red Soul Bone on Ye Yu’s left leg, granting a one hundred percent increase to all attributes and teleportation within one hundred meters.
• Ye Yu assessed his increased strength, while Bo Saixi admitted she had never heard of a God-Bestowed Soul Bone and the Seven Douluo left.
• Dai Mubai asked about Ma Hongjun’s Sixth Soul Skill, and Ma Hongjun described Phoenix Cloud Piercer as an enhanced single-target, long-range attack.

Ye Yu and the others passed their first Sea God assessments, and Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing absorbed God-Bestowed Soul Rings before the second assessment began. Ye Yu tricked the Seven Douluo into betting that he would fail the new trial within a year.

• Bo Saixi congratulated Ye Yu on passing his first assessment, and he revealed that his reward had raised his Soul Power and increased his Soul Rings’ ages by twenty thousand years each.
• Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing absorbed their God-Bestowed Soul Rings, and the second assessment timer began after three hours.
• Dai Mubai and the others learned they had to cross the Ring Sea without harming any sea Soul Beasts, while Tang San discovered he could not use Soul Ring Soul Skills or summon the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud.
• Tang San declined to test the crossing immediately, and Ye Yu refused the Seven Douluo’s offer to explain its difficulty.
• Ye Yu claimed he could not use Soul Skills, domains, Dragon Transformation, Spirit Bones, or Soul Power, prompting the Seven Douluo to bet precious items that he would fail within a year.

After the group rested from their first assessment, Xiao Wu and Oscar reached level 70 and obtained their Seventh Soul Skills. Oscar revealed that his Golden Fly could strengthen his own sausages and boost another Soul Master's next Soul Skill, leaving Ye Yu's Poison Heal poised to become even more dangerous.

• Tang San suggested the group rest for three days before beginning the second assessment, and they resumed cultivation afterward.
• Xiao Wu reached level 70, absorbed a God-Bestowed Soul Ring, and gained Soft Bone Rabbit True Body, which created seven versions of herself.
• Oscar reached level 70 and absorbed a thirty-thousand-year God-Bestowed Soul Ring after six perilous hours.
• Oscar demonstrated his Seventh Soul Skill, Steadfast Golden Fly, while Ma Hongjun laughed at its movements and incantation.
• Oscar explained that Golden Fly increased his sausage production and effects by thirty percent and boosted another Soul Master's next Soul Skill by fifty percent.
• Tang San and the others recognized that Golden Fly could amplify Ye Yu's Poison Heal and make his poison exceptionally powerful.

Tang San tested the second assessment in the Ring Sea and was driven back by the Hundred-Thousand-Year King of the Demon Soul Great White Shark. Though the Seven Douluo expected Ye Yu to concede their bet, Ye Yu entered the sea to try the trial himself.

• Tang San entered the Ring Sea while Ning Rongrong amplified him, and he struggled against the water’s resistance and undercurrents.
• More than a hundred Arrow-Mouth Fish attacked Tang San, who fought them off with his Clear Sky Hammer without injuring them.
• The King of the Demon Soul Great White Shark struck Tang San and blasted him back onto shore.
• Dai Mubai and the others identified the attacker as the Hundred-Thousand-Year King of the Demon Soul Great White Shark, while the Seven Douluo expected Ye Yu to concede their bet.
• Ye Yu refused to admit defeat and leaped into the sea, unsettling the King of the Demon Soul Great Shark.

Ye Yu crossed the sea during his assessment by using unbeatable to split the water, while the King of the Demon Soul Great White Shark pretended to sleep rather than confront him. The King finally charged as Ye Yu approached the shore, leaving the outcome uncertain.

• The Seven Douluo and Bo Saixi expected Ye Yu to fail the assessment and win their bet against him.
• Ye Yu used unbeatable to cleave a path through the seawater and swept the Arrow-Mouth Fish aside.
• Ye Yu charged toward the opposite shore, but the King of the Demon Soul Great White Shark remained motionless with his eyes closed.
• The Seven Douluo shouted for the King to wake up and stop Ye Yu, while Tang San and the others suspected the King was deliberately avoiding him.
• The King opened his eyes and charged toward Ye Yu, believing Ye Yu would reach the shore before they had to fight.

Ye Yu turned back instead of reaching shore, explaining that he wanted to use the King of the Demon Soul Great White Shark to train his group for the second assessment. He asked her to attack without holding back for the next nine months, and she transformed into a human girl after learning that Ye Yu's father could appear inside him.

• The King of the Demon Soul Great White Shark hesitated to attack Ye Yu, who abruptly returned to shore instead of completing the assessment.
• Ye Yu said the group could use the shark as a sparring partner, and Dai Mubai tested the claim by crossing the sea and confirming that the shark only knocked participants away without seriously harming them.
• After the Seven Douluo and Bo Saixi left, Ye Yu approached the shark and asked her to stop him without holding back for the next nine months.
• Ye Yu revealed that his father was inside him and could appear at any time, frightening the shark further.
• The King of the Demon Soul Great White Shark transformed into a beautiful young woman and asked whether Ye Yu meant what he said; he confirmed it, and she agreed.

Ye Yu completed the second assessment by crossing the Ring Sea and began absorbing the Eighth Soul Ring at full strength. As the Seven Devils attempted their own crossing, Xiao Bai’s control of the sea was disrupted, while Ye Yu’s absorption grew increasingly dangerous.

• Ye Yu evaded Xiao Bai’s attacks, reached the opposite shore, and claimed the Seven Douluo’s herbs after winning their bet.
• Golden light rewarded Ye Yu with his Eighth Soul Ring, and he began absorbing it with all his enhancements and Dragon Transformation active.
• The Seven Devils set out across the Ring Sea, using Ma Hongjun’s phoenix flames, Oscar’s Copy Mirror Sausage, Ning Rongrong’s enhancements, and Tang San’s attacks to push forward.
• Xiao Bai used her domain and Despair Light Wave to hinder the Seven Devils, but Tang San’s Purple God Light made her briefly lose control of the Ring Sea.
• Ye Yu’s body began cracking and bleeding during his absorption, alarming Bo Saixi and the Seven Douluo.

Tang San and the others overcame Xiao Bai’s obstruction and completed the crossing of the Ring Sea, while Ye Yu finished absorbing his eighth Soul Ring. The chapter left Xiao Bai intimidated by Ye Yu’s newly strengthened aura.

• As Ye Yu’s body endured the absorption of his eighth Soul Ring, Xiao Bai used her domain to crystallize the Ring Sea and slow Tang San’s group.
• Tang San organized the group’s response, and Zhu Zhuqing and Dai Mubai’s Hell White Tiger knocked Xiao Bai back while Tang San shattered the crystal with his Clear Sky Hammer.
• Tang San completed the eighty-one-strike Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer and broke Xiao Bai’s domain, allowing the group to use copied Sharp-tailed Swallow abilities to reach the opposite shore.
• Xiao Bai angrily accused Tang San and the others of being cunning, then threatened to fight them without restrictions if they met again.
• Ye Yu stood up after absorbing his eighth Soul Ring, and his powerful aura made Xiao Bai hastily clarify that her threat had been directed at the others.

Ye Yu revealed the power of his Eighth Soul Ring and learned that its revival ability could one day let him bring his mother back. The group began the Third Assessment, Tidal Body Refinement, at the Wrathful Waves Desperate Situation, where Ye Yu faced the most extreme trial.

• Ye Yu said his Eighth Soul Ring was 400,000 years old and described Divine Amplification Light and its attached ability to revive one person once every ten years after he became a Titled Douluo.
• Xiao Bai took the group to begin the Third Assessment, and they learned their cultivation gains and the requirements for Tidal Body Refinement.
• Bo Saixi brought them to the Wrathful Waves Desperate Situation, calmed the waves, and raised eight Deep Sea Silver pillars for the trial.
• Bo Saixi explained that each person had to endure waves on their pillar for a required daily average, with Tang San assigned twenty hours and Ye Yu twenty-four hours.
• The Seven Devils began enduring the waves, but their Soul Skills and other abilities failed, and repeated impacts rapidly drained their Soul Power.
• Ye Yu endured a thousand impacts from the waves on his 800-meter pillar, while the others realized the danger of his year-long trial.

After completing their third trials, Ye Yu and the Seven Devils One Monster prepared to help Xiao Bai fight the evil orcas, while Ye Yu faced the harder task of defeating the Evil Orca King alone. Xiao Bai assembled her clan and set out with them, but mistook Ning Rongrong's concern for romantic affection.

• Ye Yu revealed that his fourth trial required him to defeat the Evil Orca King without help, and the group agreed to rest before seeking Xiao Bai.
• After three days, Ye Yu used the Source of Evil to summon Xiao Bai and learned about the evil orcas' strength, numbers, and long-standing feud with her clan.
• Xiao Bai agreed to lead the group against the evil orcas and summoned four hundred Demon Soul Great White Sharks.
• Xiao Bai asked Ye Yu to protect her clan if she died, but Ye Yu assured her they would win.
• Ning Rongrong said she would not allow Xiao Bai to die, and Xiao Bai hugged her, mistaking her concern for deep affection until Ma Hongjun said she was overthinking it.

Tang San killed the Evil Orca King, absorbed its hundred-thousand-year Soul Ring and Spirit Bone, and learned that his Fifth Trial required him to defeat the Seven Sacred Pillar Guardians in succession. Ye Yu’s own Fifth Trial required him to face all seven guardians together, and Xiao Bai offered to be his exclusive mount at sea.

• Tang San stopped the Evil Orca King’s self-destruction with Purple God Light and killed him with the Blue Silver Emperor Spear, completing his assessment and reaching level 80.
• Tang San absorbed the Evil Orca King’s Soul Ring with the help of Sea God’s Light, then absorbed the dark-red Left Leg Spirit Bone; Bai Chenxiang also absorbed a ten-thousand-year Evil Orca Soul Ring and reached level 55.
• Tang San and the others learned their Fifth Trials: Tang San had to defeat the Seven Sacred Pillar Guardians one after another within seventy-two hours, while Ye Yu had to challenge all seven together within three days.
• Ye Yu and the others returned to Sea God Island, where Xiao Bai offered to carry Ye Yu through the sea as his exclusive mount, and he accepted.

Ye Yu and Tang San’s group began preparing for their fifth assessments, while the Seven Douluo learned that Ye Yu’s challenge was to defeat them all within three days. Ye Yu wagered the Seven Leaf Black Water Algae against their treasures, and the overconfident Seven Douluo began training to fight him together.

• Xiao Bai offered to train Tang San and his companions in full-strength combat, and agreed to fight Ye Yu one-on-one at night.
• Bo Saixi and the Seven Douluo learned that Ye Yu had defeated the Evil Orca King through attrition, despite being somewhat weaker than it.
• Ye Yu revealed that his fifth assessment required him to defeat all seven Sea Douluo one-on-one within three days.
• The Seven Douluo challenged Ye Yu to a bet, and he wagered the Seven Leaf Black Water Algae against the treasures they had collected.
• Bo Saixi refused to trust the Seven Douluo’s promises, while they vowed to train their coordination and defeat Ye Yu.

Ye Yu and Xiaobai fought for days at a time, helping each other improve, while Qian Renxue passed her fifth Angel Trial and began training for the sixth. Bibi Dong also revealed her hidden Soul Ring configuration and resolved to surpass Ye Yu’s.

• Ye Yu fought Xiaobai for five days and nights until she was exhausted, and they agreed their battles helped both of them improve.
• Qian Renxue passed Angel’s Fifth Trial, raising her Angel Affinity to forty percent, and Qian Daoliu explained that her Sixth Assessment required her to endure his attacks for the time it took incense to burn.
• Qian Renxue immediately challenged Qian Daoliu but was knocked back and badly injured in less than a minute.
• Qian Daoliu praised Qian Renxue’s Soul Ring configuration and said it was second only to Ye Yu’s, while warning her that Ye Yu was a threat to Spirit Hall.
• Bibi Dong revealed her seven hidden Soul Rings, including one red ring, and vowed that becoming a god would let her surpass Ye Yu’s configuration.

Tang San and his companions defeated the Sea God Island guardians through teamwork and careful tactics, and Tang San passed the fifth trial after his Fifth Soul Ring evolved into a Hundred-Thousand Year Soul Ring. As the Seven Dououluo congratulated themselves on accepting those tactics, Ye Yu appeared and exposed their hypocrisy by threatening to use the same rotation strategy against them.

• Dai Mubai defeated the Sea Spear Douluo with Ning Rongrong's Illusion Space and Tang San's guidance, then Tang San defeated the Sea Phantom Douluo so Xiao Wu could pass her assessment.
• Tang San defeated the Sea Star Douluo by countering his devouring abilities, while Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong defeated the Sea Demon Douluo and earned their assessment rewards.
• The Sea Demon Douluo's Sea Calming Divine Melody triggered Tang San's Fifth Soul Ring to evolve into a Hundred-Thousand Year Soul Ring.
• Tang San defeated the Sea Dragon Douluo in a close-combat battle using the Clear Sky Hammer, Tang Sect techniques, Hidden Weapons, and poison, passing the fifth trial and raising his Sea God Affinity.
• The Seven Dououluo praised Tang San's tactics as fair, but Ye Yu arrived and threatened to use a rotation tactic against them, making them admit they were too afraid and petty to allow it.

Tang San used his Spiritual Power and tactics to turn the battle against Bo Saixi, forcing the Seven Sacred Pillar Guardians to intervene before Sea God Hall could be hit. The Sea God announced that Tang San and the others would pass if they withdrew from Sea God Island.

• Tang San broke Bo Saixi's control over the vortex with Purple Demon Eye, then charged her and was flung into the sea.
• Tang San used Sea God's Protection to hide his presence, then reappeared on Sea God Mountain as Bo Saixi prepared to change targets.
• Tang San fired his Blue Silver Tyrant Emperor Spear toward Sea God Hall and spread his blood's power through the Blue Silver Domain, forcing Bo Saixi to defend the sacred ground.
• The Seven Sacred Pillar Guardians rushed to protect Sea God Hall, and the Sea God declared that Tang San and the others would pass if they left Sea God Island.

Tang San pulled the Sea God's Trident free and completed the Sea God's Seventh Trial, completing Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong's assessments as well. The Seven Douluo placed the Trident atop the One Thousand and First Step, certain Ye Yu could not reach it, but Ye Yu transformed into a Dragon-man and launched himself toward the Sea God Stairway.

• Tang San used the Sea God's Light and the vast sea cosmic shroud to complete the Sea God's Trident and pull it free.
• Tang San passed the Seventh Trial, and Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong completed their assessments and received rewards.
• The Sea God's Trident appeared atop the One Thousand and First Step, and the Seven Douluo concluded Ye Yu could not reach it.
• Ye Yu gathered his strength, transformed into a Dragon-man, and shot toward the Sea God Stairway as the Seven Douluo stared in shock.

Ye Yu passed the Seventh Trial by using his dragon form, which he explained was his true body rather than a Martial Soul, and gained a level and stronger Soul Rings. After learning their Eighth Trials and hearing that Tang San’s Ninth Trial was to kill the nearly million-year-old Deep Sea Demonic Whale King, the group was left wondering whether Ye Yu’s final trial would require him to kill a god.

• Ye Yu pulled the Sea God's Trident free, passed the Seventh Trial, rose from level 91 to level 92, and increased the age of every Soul Ring by one hundred thousand years.
• Ye Yu explained that the Twilight Black Dragon was his true body, not a Martial Soul, and the Seven Douluo reluctantly accepted his explanation and left to fulfill their bet.
• Tang San revealed that his Eighth Trial required him to become a Title Douluo and gather all Spirit Bones within four years, while Ye Yu’s required him to reach level 99 and kill ten Title Douluo within two years.
• Oscar and the others chose to remain on Sea God Island to keep cultivating, while Ye Yu and Tang San prepared to leave.
• Bo Saixi revealed that Tang San’s Ninth Trial was to hunt the 999,000-year-old Deep Sea Demonic Whale King and guessed that Ye Yu’s Ninth Trial might be to kill a god.

Ye Yu, Tang San, and Xiao Wu attacked Spirit Hall’s forces at Xilu City, destroying its army and reducing the city to ruins before continuing their campaign. In Spirit City, Bibi Dong learned that Ye Yu had also destroyed Xilu’s military district and surrounding strongholds, undermining the Second Worship’s claims that he was no spy.

• Ye Yu, Tang San, and Xiao Wu traveled to Xilu City, where Spirit Hall’s forces surrounded them under Fan Jian’s command.
• Ye Yu used the Twilight Domain to kill the Soul Masters and mortally wound Fan Jian.
• Tang San and Xiao Wu destroyed Xilu City, and the three continued attacking Spirit Hall strongholds and allied territories.
• Bibi Dong emerged from secluded cultivation and questioned the Second Worship about his management of Spirit Hall’s affairs.
• The Third Consecrator explained that he had assigned the Second Worship to manage Xilu City and the Xilu Small Kingdom.
• A messenger reported that Ye Yu had destroyed Xilu City’s military district and nearby strongholds.

Bibi Dong punished the Second Worship after Ye Yu destroyed the Xilu Military Base and ordered another mission against the two Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts. As Ye Yu, Tang San, and Xiao Wu traveled toward the Heavenly Dou Empire, they found the Golden Generation slaughtered in a forest and realized Tang Chen was behind the blood mist.

• Bibi Dong accused the Second Worship of betraying her, sent him to the dungeon, and refused his request to join the expedition against the two Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts.
• Hu Liena, Xie Yue, Yan, six Soul Douluo, and twenty Soul Sages decided to confront Ye Yu and his companions, but their forces failed to stop the destruction of cities.
• Ye Yu, Tang San, and Xiao Wu set out toward the Heavenly Dou Empire, and Tang San's Clear Sky Hammer began reacting violently to the scent of blood.
• Tang San used the Sea God's Light to restrain the hammer's bloodthirsty aura, then reclaimed control of the Divine Slaughter's Domain when it broke free.
• The three travelers found mangled corpses and a blood mist where Xie Yue's head emerged, and they saw Hu Liena still alive inside.
• Ye Yu recognized the slaughterer's presence as Tang Chen, the King of Slaughter.
