Chapter Summaries

Lin Mo and the others cultivated under the Sea God’s Light for a month, rapidly improving their strength as Charizard brought them food and whale rubber. Feng Xiaotian and Ye Lingling broke through their bottlenecks, and Bo Saixi arrived with two golden beads that Lin Mo recognized as God-Given Soul Rings.

• Bo Saixi watched Lin Mo reach the three-hundredth step without releasing his Martial Soul and reflected that his talent eclipsed even Tang Chen’s, while she hoped Dugu Yan would take longer to complete the Sea God’s trials.
• Lin Mo explained that his full-body Martial Soul gave him an advantage in the Sea God’s Light, then directed everyone to cultivate on its steps as Charizard left Sea God Island to hunt and bring back supplies.
• Over the following month, the group trained under the Sea God’s Light, ate Sea Soul Beast meat and whale rubber supplied by Charizard, and improved their cultivation; several members gained a level.
• Feng Xiaotian broke through to rank sixty, and Ye Lingling reached rank seventy while cultivating on the Sea God’s Light.
• Lin Mo proposed asking Sea Horse Douluo about Soul Rings and finding suitable ones for Feng Xiaotian and Ye Lingling, then Bo Saixi arrived holding two golden beads that Lin Mo recognized as God-Given Soul Rings.

Bo Saixi gave Ye Lingling and Feng Xiaotian God-Given Soul Rings, and both endured the trial to gain powerful new abilities. Ye Lingling’s seventh ring reached nearly eighty thousand years, leaving Lin Mo hopeful that she could obtain a hundred-thousand-year ring for her eighth.

• Bo Saixi explained that those with assessments above Black Level could receive one God-Given Soul Ring, then began the trials for Ye Lingling and Feng Xiaotian.

• Feng Xiaotian completed his trial first, gaining a sixth Soul Ring worth over forty thousand years and the Wind-Slaying Slash skill.
• Ye Lingling completed her trial with a seventh Soul Ring equivalent to nearly eighty thousand years and a Tool Soul Avatar that doubled her healing effect.
• Lin Mo praised Ye Lingling and suggested she could aim for a hundred-thousand-year ring at her eighth Soul Ring, after which the group resolved to cultivate harder.

After ten months of cultivation on Sea God Island, Lin Mo emerged from Deep Meditation at level 80 with a Gold-Level Body Martial Soul Second Awakening, while Charizard also condensed a second Soul Core and reached level 80. Lin Mo postponed receiving a God-Given Soul Ring so it could be saved for Charizard, who was flying back to the island after awakening Dragon Ascent.

• Dugu Yan, Feng Xiaotian, Shui Bing'er, Huo Wu, Shui Yue'er, and Zhu Zhuqing made major cultivation gains during their ten months on Sea God Island.
• Lin Mo's blood-red phantom turned golden and merged with him as he ended his three-month Deep Meditation and broke through to level 80.

• Charizard used his newly awakened Dragon Ascent to dive into the sea and create a massive impact before continuing toward Sea God Island.

Lin Mo and Charizard absorbed a God-Given Soul Ring, which became a four-hundred-thousand-year Eighth Soul Ring and raised Lin Mo to Soul Power Level eighty-six. After Bo Saixi hinted that the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King was part of their upcoming trials, Lin Mo discovered Charizard’s new Soul Skills: Roar of Time and Spacial Rend.

• Charizard returned to Sea God Mountain, and Lin Mo prepared to absorb an Eighth Soul Ring with him while Bo Saixi stood guard.
• Charizard swallowed the God-Given Soul Ring, and Lin Mo guided its energy through their connected bodies as they cultivated through the night.
• Bo Saixi explained that Lin Mo and Charizard’s powerful physiques contained nearly all the energy, leaving only a thin golden mist around them.
• The God-Given Soul Ring formed a blood-red Eighth Soul Ring with four golden markings, and Lin Mo’s Soul Power Level rose from eighty to eighty-six.
• Lin Mo explained that Charizard’s Eighth Soul Ring represented about four hundred thousand years, and Bo Saixi revealed that the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King was nearly a hundred ten-thousand-year Soul Beast and likely part of their trials.
• Lin Mo checked Charizard’s new Soul Skills and found Roar of Time and Spacial Rend, leaving him stunned.

After a year of training on Sea God Island, Lin Mo’s group began their first trial by climbing the Sea God’s steps. Feng Xiaotian, Shui Bing’er, Huo Wu, Shui Yue’er, and Zhu Zhuqing passed, while Lin Mo, Dugu Yan, and Ye Lingling remained to climb.

• Lin Mo found that Charizard’s eighth Soul Ring granted Roar of Time, Spacial Rend, Dragon Ascent, and Hidden Power: Water, and concluded that the God-Given Soul Ring had capped at four hundred thousand years.
• After another half month of cultivation, the group gathered at Sea God Mountain, where Lin Mo’s Soul Power was level eighty-six and the others ranged from level sixty-four to seventy-six.
• Feng Xiaotian climbed all one hundred and eight steps with Lin Mo’s Divine Slaughter’s Domain, passed his Black Level Six Trial, and advanced from level sixty-nine to level seventy.

• Shui Yue’er and Zhu Zhuqing struggled through the steps but passed their Black Level Five Trials, each gaining one Soul Power level.
• After the five finished, Lin Mo, Dugu Yan, and Ye Lingling were the only ones left to attempt the first trial.

Ye Lingling passed the first trial of the Top Level Eight Trials after Lin Mo carried her through the Sea God's Light, and her first two Soul Rings advanced from hundred-year to thousand-year. Dugu Yan and Lin Mo also passed their trials, with Lin Mo receiving a three-thousand-five-hundred-year increase to his Soul Ring ages.

• Lin Mo used Divine Slaughter's Domain to help Ye Lingling climb, then carried her past the 228th step when she reached her limit.
• Ye Lingling's trial reward raised her Soul Power by one level and increased all her Soul Ring ages by 1,500 years, turning her first two rings purple.
• Lin Mo asked the Sea God to exchange his Soul Power reward for increased Soul Ring ages, and golden power from Dugu Yan's Sea God Imprint entered Lin Mo's forehead.
• Dugu Yan transformed into her Jade Phosphorous Dragon form and climbed to the 323rd step before Lin Mo used Asura Hell to clear the remaining Sea God's Light.
• Dugu Yan crossed the 333rd step and completed her trial, increasing her Sea God Affinity by five percent.
• Lin Mo climbed all 444 steps and completed his super-enhanced trial, earning a 3,500-year increase to his Soul Ring ages.

After completing the First Trial, Lin Mo and the others received their rewards and learned the restrictions and requirements of their Second Trial, while Charizard’s Soul Rings remained unaffected. The group decided to rest before attempting the trial, but Xiao Bai watched Lin Mo leave with anger in her eyes.

• Dugu Yan received five percent Sea God Affinity, while Lin Mo received a 3,500-year increase to each of Charizard’s Soul Rings.
• The Second Trial began, requiring the group to cross the Ring Sea without harming Sea Soul Beasts; Ye Lingling’s Seventh Soul Ring and all of Dugu Yan’s Soul Rings were sealed, but Charizard’s remained usable.
• Lin Mo suggested Charizard could help obtain Soul Beasts if the group could not leave Sea God Island to acquire Soul Rings.
• Lin Mo led everyone back to Seahorse City to rest for a few days before attempting the Second Trial.
• Xiao Bai, the Demon Soul Great White Shark King, watched Lin Mo’s retreating figure from the Ring Sea with anger.

After a week of rest, Lin Mo entered the Ring Sea alone to investigate the Second Trial and encountered Xiao Bai, the Demon Soul Great White Shark King. When Xiao Bai attacked him and accused him of killing a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, Lin Mo summoned Charizard to capture her.

• Dugu Yan discovered that the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud had become unusable after the Second Trial began.
• Lin Mo swam into the Ring Sea and knocked out attacking arrow-shaped fish without injuring them.
• Xiao Bai charged Lin Mo with Demon Shark's Fang, but his Invincible Shield repelled her attack and sent him back to shore.
• Xiao Bai took human form, accused Lin Mo of killing a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, and threatened to kill him.
• Lin Mo summoned Charizard, who activated Mega Evolution and transformed into Mega Charizard as Xiao Bai began to doubt her attack.

Lin Mo let Charizard defeat Xiao Bai after she attacked him, then used the clash to demand compensation from the Demon Soul Great White Shark King. Xiao Bai agreed to provide Soul Bones but left after Lin Mo challenged her about whether she valued her identity as a Sea God believer or as a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast more.

• Charizard overwhelmed Xiao Bai on land and blocked her from returning to the Ring Sea until Bo Saixi appeared and stopped his Dragon Claw.
• Lin Mo and his companions accused Xiao Bai of attacking him first, and Lin Mo suggested Charizard could take her as Feng Xiaotian’s Seventh Soul Ring.
• Bo Saixi explained that Xiao Bai was Sea God Island’s guardian divine beast and offered to have her find suitable Soul Rings for Lin Mo’s companions as compensation.
• Xiao Bai admitted she attacked Lin Mo because he possessed a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring and Soul Bone, and Lin Mo used her attack to question her loyalty to the Sea God.
• Lin Mo demanded several Soul Bones, including Wind-type and Fire-type ones above ten thousand years old, and Xiao Bai agreed to provide them.
• Lin Mo asked Xiao Bai which mattered more to her, being a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast or a Sea God believer; she left without answering, and Lin Mo’s group headed back toward Seahorse City.

At the Ring Sea, Dugu Yan reconciled with Xiao Bai, who gave the group three Soul Bones and helped Feng Xiaotian find a Seventh Soul Ring. Meanwhile, Lin Mo and Charizard began cultivating in seclusion as Lin Mo attempted to condense a second Soul Core.

• Dugu Yan apologized to Xiao Bai for Lin Mo and Charizard's behavior, and Ye Lingling explained that Lin Mo was cultivating in seclusion.
• Xiao Bai promised to act as a sparring partner during the Second Trial and gave Dugu Yan three Soul Bones to distribute among Feng Xiaotian, Ye Lingling, and Huo Wu.
• Ye Lingling, Feng Xiaotian, and Huo Wu absorbed their Soul Bones, gaining new Soul Skills and, for Ye Lingling and Huo Wu, increased Soul Power.
• Xiao Bai assessed Feng Xiaotian's ability to withstand a Seventh Soul Ring, then took him out to sea to find one.
• Lin Mo and Charizard began cultivating in an underground chamber as Lin Mo attempted to condense a second Soul Core.

After more than half a year in seclusion, Lin Mo successfully fused a pure Soul Power soul core with his bloodline soul core and returned to his companions on Sea God Island. He learned of their progress, revealed that he had reached Level 88, and prepared to give Huo Wu some Immortal Herbs.

• Lin Mo fused his second soul core in his lower abdomen, forming yin-yang complementary dual soul cores with his bloodline soul core.
• Lin Mo left the chamber with Charizard, ate in Sea Dragon City, and then headed to the Ring Sea to reunite with his companions.
• Dugu Yan told Lin Mo that Shui Bing'er had broken through to Level 70 and gone with Xiao Bai to obtain her seventh soul ring.
• Lin Mo heard that Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling were Level 78, Shui Yue'er and Zhu Zhuqing were Level 67, Feng Xiaotian was nearing Level 73, and Huo Wu was Level 69.
• Lin Mo revealed that he had reached Level 88, then invited everyone to celebrate in Sea Dragon City after Shui Bing'er returned.
• Lin Mo told Huo Wu that he had prepared something for her and considered distributing the Immortal Herbs he had stored before the Second Trial.

Lin Mo gave Huo Wu a Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower, and she confessed that she loved him. He did not reject her, but asked her to wait until the group had passed the Sea God Trial and returned to the mainland; afterward, Huo Wu began refining the herb while the others reacted to the confession.

• Shui Bing'er returned with Xiao Bai after absorbing a sixty-five-thousand-year-old Ice Crystal Sea Serpent Soul Ring, and Xiao Bai declined to join the group for dinner before leaving for the sea.
• At dinner, Lin Mo announced that the group could train by sparring with him or Charizard, and Feng Xiaotian won the draw to go first.
• Lin Mo gave Huo Wu a Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower and explained that refining it could purify her flames and help her reach rank seventy.
• Huo Wu confessed her feelings to Lin Mo, who told her to focus on the herb and said they could discuss their relationship after the Sea God Trial.
• Huo Wu began refining the Immortal Herb in her room while Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er secretly watched her confession and Lin Mo caught Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling spying nearby.

Lin Mo and his companions passed the Second Trial by crossing the Ring Sea while Charizard fought Xiao Bai and Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er froze the waters. They received their rewards and learned that their Third Trial was Tidal Body Tempering, then headed to Seahorse City to ask the High Priestess about its requirements.

• After six months of sparring and cultivation, Lin Mo defeated the seven others in a practice match, and Ye Lingling healed the group with her Nine Heart Begonia.
• Three days later, the group began the Second Trial; Charizard engaged Xiao Bai while Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er used their Martial Soul Fusion Skill to freeze the Ring Sea and drive off the Sea Soul Beasts.
• Lin Mo and the others crossed the ice and passed the trial, earning rewards that raised soul-ring ages and Soul Power; Ye Lingling reached level eighty, and Shui Yue'er reached level seventy.
• Charizard pinned Xiao Bai until she protested that the group had already passed, then released her and returned to Lin Mo.
• The group received the Third Trial, Tidal Body Tempering, and Lin Mo led them toward Seahorse City to ask the High Priestess for its details; Xiao Bai watched them leave and recognized Lin Mo as the High Priestess's heir.

Bo Saixi brought Lin Mo and the others to Raging Wave Despair and explained the Third Trial, which required them to endure crushing waves on Sinking Silver Pillars for set hours each day. After a year of grueling training, Huo Wu awakened her Fire Shadow Martial Soul to Silver-Level Second Awakening and seemed to attain Ultimate Fire.

• Bo Saixi led Lin Mo and the others to Raging Wave Despair, where she revealed the Sinking Silver Pillars and set their daily endurance requirements for the Third Trial.
• The waves stripped away the group’s Soul Skill enhancements, and the group struggled through their first day while Lin Mo endured the impact with ease.
• Over the following year, the group steadily strengthened their physiques, while Lin Mo spent nearly all his time standing on his pillar without needing the securing ring.
• During the tenth month, Huo Wu’s Fire Shadow Martial Soul underwent a Silver-Level Second Awakening beneath the pounding waves.
• Huo Wu sensed that her flames had reached the realm of Ultimate Fire and wondered whether she had finally caught up to Lin Mo.

Lin Mo and his companions completed the Third Sea God Trial and learned the demands of the Battle of Whale and Shark, while Lin Mo hinted that a major opportunity awaited them after they gained eight Soul Rings. Elsewhere, Tang San finished absorbing his Seventh Soul Ring and, with Tang Hao and the barely lucid Tang Chen, planned to visit Shrek Academy before returning to the Clear Sky Sect.

• Lin Mo completed his super-enhanced Tidal Body Tempering trial, gained 3,500 years of Soul Ring age, and rejoined his companions as they shared their cultivation gains.
• Lin Mo and the others learned their Fourth Trial requirements, and he predicted that the Evil Orca King could become Dugu Yan’s Eighth Soul Ring while Shui Yue'er could obtain her Seventh Soul Ring during the trial.
• Lin Mo told everyone to rest before the Battle of Whale and Shark and promised a great opportunity once they reached eight Soul Rings.
• Tang Hao recalled how he fought the King of Slaughter, discovered he was Tang Chen, and watched Tang Chen open Hell Road for Tang San before following them out of Slaughter City.
• Tang San completed his Seventh Soul Ring absorption at rank seventy-eight and chose to visit Shrek Academy first, while Tang Hao planned to take him to Heaven Dou City and try to awaken Tang Chen.

Tang San returned to Shrek Academy after years away and learned that Zhu Zhuqing had been killed and Ma Hongjun was a wanted criminal, fueling his hatred of Spirit Hall. He revealed his immense power and his great-grandfather Tang Chen, while the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect learned of his return and chose to wait before deciding what to do.

• Tang San reunited with Yu Xiaogang and learned that Oscar was away, Ning Rongrong had returned to her sect, Zhu Zhuqing had been killed by Dai Weisi's assassins, and Ma Hongjun was being hunted.
• Dai Mubai told Tang San that Ma Hongjun had become a wanted fallen soul master; Tang San vowed to destroy Spirit Hall, while Yu Xiaogang concealed the extent of Ma Hongjun's crimes.
• Tang San revealed that his cultivation had reached rank seventy-eight and that he intended to surpass Lin Mo, then introduced his great-grandfather Tang Chen as the former Clear Sky Douluo.
• Ning Fengzhi, Chen Xin, and Gu Rong discussed Tang San and Tang Hao's return and agreed not to involve Ning Rongrong or act against Spirit Hall for now.

Tang San urged Dai Mubai to reclaim the Star Luo throne, planning to use the ensuing violence to feed his cultivation, while Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue reacted to his return in very different ways. As Lin Mo and his companions prepared for their Fourth Sea God Trial, Xiao Bai tearfully thanked the Sea God for its mercy.

• Tang San offered to help Dai Mubai seize the Star Luo throne with the Clear Sky Sect's backing, and Dai Mubai accepted the plan despite noticing Tang San's bloodthirsty change.
• Tang San resolved to turn the struggle for the throne into an opportunity to slaughter and devour his enemies so he could advance toward becoming a Titled Douluo.
• Bibi Dong read a report about Tang San's return and planned to kill the three generations of the Clear Sky Sect while pursuing powerful Soul Beasts for her Second Martial Soul.
• Qian Renxue learned of Tang San's return but focused on overcoming the Sixth Angel Trial, which required her to endure Qian Daoliu's attacks for the time it took an incense stick to burn.
• Lin Mo and his companions prepared for their Fourth Sea God Trial, while Xiao Bai bowed tearfully toward Sea God Mountain and praised the Sea God.

Xiao Bai led Lin Mo and the Demon Soul Great White Sharks to attack the Evil Spirit Orca pod as Dugu Yan’s Fourth Trial demanded, while Charizard and Lin Mo supported the battle. Charizard badly wounded Xie Hu, and Lin Mo’s domain and bloodflame arrows turned the tide, leaving the Evil Orca King struggling against Xiao Bai and Dugu Yan.

• Xiao Bai explained that the Evil Spirit Orcas were the Demon Soul Great White Sharks’ sworn enemies and revealed that Xie Hu had killed her younger brother.
• Shui Yue'er showed Xiao Bai an adult Evil Spirit Orca’s tail, and Lin Mo explained that Charizard had hunted the pod for food before agreeing to help exterminate it.
• Xiao Bai led more than two hundred Demon Soul Great White Sharks to the Orca territory, where Xie Hu gathered his larger pod and charged them.
• Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er used Ice and Snow Drifting to freeze an adult Evil Spirit Orca, while Ye Lingling healed the sharks and Dugu Yan joined Xiao Bai in fighting Xie Hu.
• Charizard struck Xie Hu from above with Dragon Ascent and severely wounded him, then Lin Mo used Divine Slaughter's Domain and bloodflame arrows to strengthen the allies and kill the Orcas.
• Xiao Bai and Dugu Yan continued attacking the weakened Xie Hu, who feared that the Sea God had sent punishment upon his pod.

Lin Mo’s group completed the fourth trial by defeating the Evil Spirit Orcas without losing a Demon Soul Great White Shark, and Dugu Yan gained Sea God’s Light after her affinity reached thirty percent. Dugu Yan absorbed the Evil Orca King’s Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring and emerged with eight Soul Rings, while Shui Yue’er gained a Soul Ring and Soul Bone of her own.

• Lin Mo supported the battle as Feng Xiaotian, Shui Bing’er, Shui Yue’er, Huo Wu, and Zhu Zhuqing completed their quotas, while Ye Lingling’s Nine Heart Begonia healed the injured Demon Soul Great White Sharks.
• Dugu Yan killed the poisoned Evil Orca King, and the Demon Soul Great White Sharks hunted down the remaining Evil Spirit Orcas; the trial rewards were issued, with Dugu Yan’s Sea God Affinity rising to thirty percent.
• Dugu Yan unlocked Sea God’s Light, which calmed the Demon Soul Great White Sharks and earned her Xiao Bai’s respect; Xiao Bai offered to carry her while she absorbed her eighth Soul Ring.
• Shui Yue’er killed a weakened Evil Spirit Orca and absorbed its seventy-thousand-year Soul Ring and right leg Soul Bone, gaining Orca Shattered Tooth Slash.
• At Lin Mo’s suggestion, Dugu Yan cleansed the Evil Orca King’s Soul Ring with Sea God’s Light, then absorbed it without resistance over two days and nights.
• Dugu Yan completed the absorption and became the group’s second possessor of a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring, while Lin Mo explained that Ye Lingling could later use the Blue Silver Emperor or a God-Given Soul Ring for her eighth Soul Ring.

After Dugu Yan absorbed the Evil Orca King's Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring and Soul Bone, she revealed her new strength and abilities as the group compared their Fifth Trials. Lin Mo's trial required him to last one stick of incense against Bo Saixi, and the group returned to Sea God Island to prepare.

• Dugu Yan absorbed the Evil Orca King's right leg Soul Bone, reached level eighty-six, and gained two more Soul Skills alongside the two from her Soul Ring.
• The group shared their Soul Power Levels and Fifth Trials; Dugu Yan had to defeat the Seven Sacred Pillar Guardians, while Lin Mo had to survive one stick of incense against Bo Saixi.
• Lin Mo said he was confident about facing Bo Saixi, and Xiao Bai wondered how he could withstand the level ninety-nine Peerless Douluo.
• Dugu Yan removed the toxins from the Evil Orca King's corpse, took its hundred-thousand-year Whale Rubber, and let Xiao Bai and the Demon Soul Great White Sharks devour the body.
• The Demon Soul Great White Sharks escorted the group back to Sea God Island as they prepared for their Fifth Trials.
