• Huo Wu reached Level 60 a month later and absorbed a God-Bestowed Soul Ring, keeping pace with Shui Bing’er.

After a year of training on Sea God Island, Yang Xiong and his companions faced the final Sea God's Light assessment, with each of them pushing past their limits. Yang Xiong unveiled his new Asura Dharma and reached the 860th step, leaving him injured but newly convinced that becoming a god was within reach.

• After a year of cultivation, Yang Xiong reached Level 80, while his companions also made major gains and prepared for the final assessment.

Yang Xiong and his companions completed the first Sea God trial and learned that their next challenge was crossing the Ring-Shaped Sea while facing a Hundred-Thousand-Year Demon Soul Great White Shark. After Yang Xiong urged everyone to train for underwater combat, examiner Xiao Bai confronted him over the two Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts he had killed and vowed to stop him from passing.

• Yang Xiong received his first-trial reward after breaking through the Sea God's Light, and Ning Rongrong and the others came to congratulate him.

• Xiao Bai arrived on shore as a young girl, met Xiao Wu, and confronted Yang Xiong for killing two Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts.
• Yang Xiong and Xiao Bai exchanged powerful punches, then Xiao Bai returned to the sea and vowed to prevent him from passing the trial.

Yang Xiong challenged Tang San and Xiao Wu’s ideas about whether Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts deserved to be hunted, arguing that humans and Soul Beasts were locked in an unavoidable conflict. The group resumed its Sea God Island trials, while Tang San gained only a ten-thousand-year Soul Ring from his God-bestowed reward.

• Xiao Wu angrily confronted Yang Xiong for planning to hunt Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts, and Tang San asked him to apologize.
• Yang Xiong questioned Tang San’s distinction between evil and harmless Soul Beasts, using the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King and the Titan Giant Ape and Sky Azure Bull Python as examples.
• Xiao Wu feared Yang Xiong might hunt Da Ming and Er Ming, but he said Bibi Dong or other Soul Masters could threaten them even if he did not.

• The group trained and fought daily to cross the Ring-Shaped Sea, while Yang Xiong and Xiao Bai continued their separate battles without either gaining the upper hand.
• Tang San used his God-bestowed Soul Ring but obtained only a ten-thousand-year Soul Ring, leaving him disappointed beside Yang Xiong’s two 100,000-Year Soul Rings.

After nine months on Ring-Shaped Island, Tang San's group remained unable to pass the second assessment, so Yang Xiong agreed to help despite the extra cultivation time it would cost his own group. He led thirteen people into battle against Xiao Bai, whose Devil Shark Domain transformed the fight just as they began to gain the advantage.

• Yang Xiong's group and Tang San's group made little progress toward passing the Ring-Shaped Sea assessment, leaving Tang San's six-person group facing possible death.
• Dai Mubai admitted to Yang Xiong that they had underestimated the assessment, and Ning Rongrong urged Yang Xiong to help Xiao Wu and the others.
• Yang Xiong agreed to join the fight, warning Ning Rongrong, Oscar, Shui Bing'er, and Huo Wu that helping would cost them three months of cultivation time.
• Yang Xiong devised a battle plan for thirteen people, and the group entered the sea to face Xiao Bai, who attacked them for having slaughtered Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts.
• The group combined their abilities to restrain Xiao Bai, with Huo Wu's fire and Shui Bing'er's ice limiting her movements as Yang Xiong guided the fight toward the far side of the Ring-Shaped Sea.
• Xiao Bai unleashed her Devil Shark Domain, merging with the sea and sending violent waves against Yang Xiong's group.

Yang Xiong helped the group pass the Ring-Shaped Sea assessment by fighting Xiao Bai and breaking through her strongest attacks. After receiving their rewards, the group learned that their next trial was Tidal Body Tempering, with Yang Xiong assigned fourteen hours each day.

• Yang Xiong used Slaughter God Slash and Bone Crushing Fist to injure Xiao Bai while the others flew across the Ring-Shaped Sea.
• Yang Xiong overcame Xiao Bai's Despair Light Wave with Asura God Light and crossed the sea, completing the second trial alongside the group.
• Yang Xiong received a Soul Power increase and stronger Soul Rings, while Shui Bing'er and Ning Rongrong gained Soul Ring age and the others thanked him.

• The group received their Tidal Body Tempering assignments, and Yang Xiong learned his top-level third trial required fourteen hours of training each day.

Bo Saixi brought Yang Xiong and the others to Raging Wave Despair and explained their Tidal Body Tempering trial, where they had to endure relentless waves while restrained on Sunken Silver Pillars. As the pounding waves overwhelmed the group, Yang Xiong was the only one still conscious and resisting.

• Bo Saixi led the group across Sea God Island to Raging Wave Despair and explained that the waves had carved its stone valley over countless years.
• Bo Saixi revealed her Seagod Martial Soul, calmed the waves, and summoned thirteen Sunken Silver Pillars for the trial.
• Bo Saixi assigned trial durations based on their Seagod assessments and gave Yang Xiong a separate pillar for his double Tidal Body Tempering.
• Bo Saixi restrained everyone on the pillars, suppressing their martial souls and abilities before unleashing the waves upon them.
• The repeated impacts exhausted the group and caused their bodies severe pain as the waves battered their muscles, bones, and meridians.
• Zhu Zhuqing and Dugu Yan fainted first, followed by Huo Wu and Shui Bing'er and then the others, until Yang Xiong alone remained conscious.

Tang San and the others struggled through their first Tidal Body Tempering, while Yang Xiong endured the waves long enough to meet the daily assessment requirement. After explaining how they could prepare for the year-long trial, Yang Xiong encouraged Shui Bing’er and Huo Wu to use the ordeal to strengthen their martial souls, especially Huo Wu’s chance at a Second Awakening.

• Tang San and the others woke in severe pain, and Bo Saixi said Yang Xiong had endured ten hours of Tidal Body Tempering, with physical strength comparable to a powerful Titled Douluo.
• Ning Rongrong recalled that Yang Xiong’s martial soul had changed from colorless to silver and then blood-red, while Bo Saixi suspected it had evolved through poisonous medicines and heavenly treasures.
• Yang Xiong finally passed out after the waves exhausted his Soul Power and strength, then woke in Ning Rongrong’s arms after enduring fourteen hours and meeting the assessment’s daily standard.
• Yang Xiong gave Oscar recovery herbs and asked him to make Super Recovery Big Sausages so the group could replenish Soul Power during future sessions.
• Yang Xiong told Shui Bing’er that her Ice Phoenix might benefit from the Sea God’s power, then urged Huo Wu to endure at least ten hours on average because Tidal Body Tempering could trigger a Body Martial Soul’s Second Awakening.

During the final month of Tidal Body Tempering, Huo Wu’s Martial Soul awakened into a Gold Grade form, inspiring Yang Xiong to endure beyond his limits. Yang Xiong underwent a dramatic transformation, and Bo Saixi concluded that the Seagod had descended at the moment of his breakthrough.

• Yang Xiong equipped the group with arm pouches for their Super Recovery Big Sausages, and everyone steadily increased their daily Tidal Body Tempering time.
• After eleven months of training, Huo Wu endured sixteen hours on the Sunken Silver Pillar and transformed her Martial Soul into a golden, flame-wreathed form.
• Inspired by Huo Wu’s awakening, Yang Xiong returned to the Sunken Silver Pillar and persisted through overwhelming pain and exhaustion.
• Yang Xiong’s Killing Intent formed a giant that clashed with a monstrous wave as his body and spiritual power broke through their limits and his Golden Patterns covered him.
• Tang San sensed that Yang Xiong had reached the Purple Demon Eyes’ Vast realm, while Bo Saixi felt his spiritual power and Martial Soul rival her own.
• When Yang Xiong awoke, Bo Saixi congratulated him and said the final surge of power had likely been the Seagod’s descent.

After surviving a month of Tidal Body Tempering, Yang Xiong awakened his Body Martial Soul as the God-level Asura Martial Soul and gained Vast-level spiritual power with an Immortal and Indestructible quality. With his companions' trials completed and Huo Wu and Shui Bing'er showing major improvements, Yang Xiong prepared to absorb his God-Bestowed Soul Ring.

• Yang Xiong's Body Martial Soul awakened into a powerful God-level martial soul, which he named Asura, and his Slaughter Domain fused with his body and martial soul.

• Yang Xiong received the reward for passing the third trial, while Bo Saixi advised him to ask Ou Ya to arrange soul rings for Huo Wu and Shui Bing'er.
• Bo Saixi gave Yang Xiong a God-Bestowed Soul Ring, and he summoned his martial soul, Soul Rings, and Soul Bones before beginning to absorb it.

Yang Xiong absorbed a God-Bestowed Soul Ring, gaining an eight-hundred-thousand-year Eighth Soul Ring and reaching Level 88. After deciding to help Shui Bing’er and Huo Wu obtain Soul Rings before tackling the next trial, he and the others rested in Seahorse City.

• Yang Xiong endured fifty days of absorption before his golden cocoon broke, revealing his new Eighth Soul Ring and strengthened body.
• Ning Rongrong and the others watched over Yang Xiong and cultivated; after he awoke, he learned his Soul Power had reached Level 88 and reviewed the team’s progress.
• Yang Xiong inspected his eight-hundred-thousand-year Soul Ring and gained Asura God's Wrath and Asura Blood Prison.
• Yang Xiong read the Peak Whale Shark Battle assessment and wondered why it required injuring the evil orca king but not killing it.
• Yang Xiong proposed finding Soul Rings for Shui Bing’er and Huo Wu, then resting, so the group went to Seahorse City.
• The group relaxed and shopped in Seahorse City while Tang San continued cultivating, and Yang Xiong spent time with Ning Rongrong.

After Yang Xiong and the others had been away for nearly three years, Bibi Dong established the Spirit Hall Empire, which expanded into territory held by the Heaven Dou and Star Luo Empires. The three empires settled into a tense balance as the sects conserved their strength and waited for their absent leaders to return.

• Spirit Hall held its Sect Assembly, but the Clear Sky Sect and Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect refused to attend, while the Body Sect stayed independent under Yang Wudi and Bai He.
• The seven great sects jointly invited Bibi Dong to become emperor, and she established the Spirit Hall Empire with the support of surrounding kingdoms and duchies.
• Bibi Dong shut down Spirit Halls in the two rival empires' territories and gathered nearly sixty thousand Soul Masters into the empire's forces.
• The Spirit Hall Empire seized two provinces from each rival empire, prompting the Heaven Dou and Star Luo Empires to amass troops along their borders.
• The Clear Sky Sect, Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, and Body Sect offered limited support to Heaven Dou while preserving their strength and waiting for Yang Xiong, Ning Rongrong, Tang San, and their companions.
• Tang Hao, Tang Xiao, and the others confirmed that the Slaughter King was Tang Chen, but they could not challenge him.

After obtaining high-level Soul Rings for Shui Bing'er and Huo Wu, Yang Xiong's group returned to Sea God Island to begin the Fourth Trial against the Evil Orca Clan. Little Bai revealed the clan's overwhelming strength and history of defeating the Devil Soul Great White Sharks, leaving Yang Xiong to consider whether Oscar and Ning Rongrong could absorb 100,000-Year Soul Rings.

• Yang Xiong's group spent nearly a month helping Shui Bing'er and Huo Wu obtain suitable Soul Rings: a 70,000-year ring for Huo Wu and a 60,000-year ring for Shui Bing'er.
• Shui Bing'er reached Level 74 and Huo Wu reached Level 75 after absorbing their Soul Rings.
• Yang Xiong's group met Little Bai on the shore and asked her to help them begin the Fourth Trial against the Evil Orca Clan.
• Little Bai warned that the evil orcas were a vicious rival clan with around three hundred members, including about two hundred adults, a powerful Hundred-Thousand-Year King, and several exceptionally strong members.
• After Little Bai described the Devil Soul Great White Sharks' fear of the evil orcas, Yang Xiong asked Oscar and Ning Rongrong whether they could absorb 100,000-Year Soul Rings.

Yang Xiong devised a plan to poison the Evil Orca Clan and lead the Demon Soul Great White Sharks in an attack. The battle began with the poisoned orcas weakened, while Yang Xiong and Xiao Bai engaged the Evil Orca King.

• Yang Xiong explained that poison could help the group kill half the Evil Orca Clan, and identified the Evil Orca King’s Soul Ring and Soul Bone as a possible prize for Yang Wei.
• Yang Xiong gave Shui Bing'er the Snow-Colored Swan Kiss and Manjusaka, and she spread the poison over the sea near the orcas’ territory.
• After waiting for the toxin to take effect, Yang Xiong led the group and more than three hundred Demon Soul Great White Sharks toward the Evil Orca Clan’s encampment.
• The poisoned evil orcas were slowed and paralyzed, allowing the Demon Soul Great White Sharks and the group to gain the advantage in the opening clash.
• Yang Xiong and Xiao Bai attacked the Evil Orca King, who blocked Yang Xiong’s sword strike and swung his tail at Xiao Bai as fighting erupted across the sea.
