• Qian Xunzong led his team across the sea to the system’s coordinates, where they searched an unremarkable island and found no trace of a Ferocious Beast.

• Qian Xunzong and Xu Yanqiu unleashed their strongest attacks together, but the Ten-Directions Sea-Quelling Ao's shell remained almost unharmed.
• The Ten-Directions Sea-Quelling Ao said it had devoured a special treasure and claimed no mortal attack could break its defenses.
• Qian Xunzong learned from the system that the beast had fused with a Godhead Fragment of the God of Defense, making god-level power necessary to pierce its shell.
• Qian Xunzong used the Azure Evolution Sword to unleash Sword Qi Rolling Dragon Wall, leaving an inch-deep wound that still did not break through the beast's defense.
• The Ten-Directions Sea-Quelling Ao recognized that the sword's attainment surpassed the world's limits, while Qian Xunzong worried that his final chance to draw the sword would be wasted.
• The Azure Evolution Sword glowed and an aged, heroic voice told Qian Xunzong to leave the matter to it.

Qian Xunzong summoned Li Chungang, whose Heaven-Cleaving Gate sword strike shattered the Ten-Directions Sea-Quelling Ao’s shell and defeated it. The Ao gave Qian Xunzong its Sea-Calming Divine Shield, Soul Ring, and Soul Bone, helping him break through to level ninety before he returned to Sun-Moon City.

• Qian Xunzong summoned Li Chungang, who formed an avatar from the Azure Evolution Sword’s threads and unleashed Heaven-Cleaving Gate against the Ten-Directions Sea-Quelling Ao.
• Li Chungang split the Ao’s shell and wounded it so severely that it admitted defeat and offered to sacrifice itself to advance Qian Xunzong’s cultivation.
• The Ao promised Qian Xunzong the Sea-Calming Divine Shield if he agreed to revive it after becoming a god, and Qian Xunzong accepted.

• Qian Xunzong led the group to the Endless Volcanoes, where they used High-Grade Soul Tools to force the Lihuo Chiyang Phoenix out of hiding.
• Xinghe and the others restrained and attacked the phoenix, and Qian Xunzong delivered the killing blow before taking its one-hundred-thousand-year Soul Ring and right-leg Soul Bone.
• Qian Xunzong absorbed the rewards and broke through to Level ninety-two, becoming a Titled Douluo before ordering the group back toward Sun and Moon City.
