• Bi Ji arrived and pleaded with them to take it easier as she saw their horrific injuries.

Xuan Ming sought Bo Saixi’s help mastering his newly acquired powers, and she agreed to train with him without fighting to the death. The gods decided to make Bo Saixi’s Sea God inheritance part of Xuan Ming’s trial, and their sparring began the next morning in the icefield sea area.

• Bi Ji treated Bibi Dong and Xuan Ming after their brutal training fight, and Bibi Dong fell asleep from exhaustion.

• Bo Saixi and the Seven Sacred Pillar Douluo arrived at the icefield sea area, where Xuan Ming was testing his control over the ocean.
• Bo Saixi opened the spar with a concentrated strike, and Xuan Ming used Abyssal Whale Devouring to block it, skidding hundreds of meters across the sea.

Xuan Ming trained against Bo Saixi for an entire day, adapting to her control of the ocean and revealing the formidable defense of his Abyssal Dragon Emperor Torso Bone. He then unleashed Dragon Emperor's Tyrannical Sea Break in a remote deep-sea region, proving that the attack could overwhelm even Bo Saixi empowered by the Sea God's Power.

• Xuan Ming used Boundless Vast Sea and Demon Whale Star-Shattering Fist against Bo Saixi while she countered him with Sea God's Might and Sea God's power.

• Xuan Ming unleashed Dragon Emperor's Tyrannical Sea Break, punching through the deep sea and creating a vast crater and destructive shock wave.
• Bo Saixi shielded the group with the Sea God's Power and concluded that she could not withstand a direct hit from Xuan Ming's attack.

The God Kings recognized that Xuan Ming’s Dragon Emperor’s Tyrannical Sea Break could slay gods and that his Dragon God bloodline might let him bypass the mortal realm’s restrictions on attaining godhood. They realized Xuan Ming had used their trial and divisions to secure his survival, leaving them wary of acting against him.

• The God Kings examined Xuan Ming’s strike and judged its power capable of killing divine officers and threatening Second-Class Deities.

• The God Kings concluded that Xuan Ming, though fundamentally human, might face no heavenly tribulation barrier to attaining godhood.

• The Asura God called for Xuan Ming’s death, but the God of Evil and the Goddess of Kindness warned that they could not guarantee his elimination and feared the consequences if he escaped.
• The God of Evil praised Xuan Ming’s talent and leadership, then accused the Asura God and Poseidon of having tried to steer or keep Xuan Ming within their reach.

The God Realm Committee chose to continue Xuan Ming's trials after reconsidering his bid for coexistence and the consequences of attacking him. More than half a year later, his companions completed their first Sea God trial, and Xuan Ming told Bibi Dong that it was time to visit Slaughter City.

• Bibi Dong developed a new domain through Xuan Ming's training, and Xuan Ming announced that they would go to Slaughter City.

Xuan Ming sought the Sea God’s help to strengthen Bibi Dong before she confronted Tang Chen and pursued the Asura God Position. He extorted a God-Given Soul Ring from Poseidon by threatening the Sea God Trident and Sea God Island, then immediately asked for more on credit.

• Xuan Ming told Bibi Dong that Tang Chen was alive in Slaughter City and carried the Asura Divine Power from the first seven trials.
• Xuan Ming explained that Bibi Dong’s mutated domain could let her pursue the Asura God Position, but warned her to strengthen her body before confronting the conflicting divine powers.

• After Poseidon handed over the Soul Ring, Xuan Ming asked whether it was expensive and proposed getting a few more on credit for Nana and the others.

• Xuan Ming persuaded Poseidon to provide Bibi Dong and the other girls with God-Given Soul Rings, while agreeing that his future trials would become harder.
• Poseidon gave Xuan Ming a Deep Sea Crystal for Bibi Dong, and Xuan Ming explained to Bo Saixi that their apparent confrontation had allowed Poseidon to grant the gifts while saving face.
• Xuan Ming delivered the crystal and God-Given Soul Ring to Bibi Dong, who began absorbing the crystal to strengthen her body before her next Soul Ring.
• Xuan Ming asked Xiao Bai to take him to the Evil Orca King's territory, where the king attacked with its pod and tried to flee.
• Xuan Ming trapped the orcas with his Abyssal Domain, incapacitated the Evil Orca King with his spiritual attack, and froze the king before carrying him back to Sea God Island.

Xuan Ming and Bibi Dong discovered that the Heaven Dou Empire was sending war refugees to Slaughter City as supplies, but Xuan Ming questioned whether saving them would offer any lasting hope. He then destroyed Slaughter City with divine-level lightning, only for the wounded King of Slaughter—whose suppressed identity as Tang Chen had resurfaced—to emerge and confront him.

• Xuan Ming explained that taking the blood pool had disrupted Slaughter City's supplies, forcing the King of Slaughter to seek resources and people from the Heaven Dou Empire.

• Xuan Ming summoned the Blood Spear and merged the powers of slaughter, evil, and lightning to unleash a divine-level Tribulation of Destruction on Slaughter City.
• The lightning destroyed Slaughter City's entrance and passages, killing those inside and leaving a vast crystallized pit where the city had stood.
• The battered King of Slaughter emerged from the pit, and Tang Chen's rage and hatred surfaced as he accused Xuan Ming of destroying his foundation and kingdom.

Xuan Ming defeated and killed Tang Chen after the Blood-Red Nine-Headed Bat King forced him into a final attack, then discovered the Asura Demon Sword had remained unused because Tang Chen never truly passed the Asura God's trial. Xuan Ming gave Bibi Dong purified Asura Divine Power to help her pursue the Asura inheritance, while Gu Yuena revealed that the sword had once cut her.

• When Xuan Ming asked why Gu Yuena was wary of the sword, she told him it had cut her before.

Xuan Ming helped Bibi Dong endure the conflict between Rakshasa and Asura divine powers at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, while the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox revealed why she had interfered in his life. The Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox began sharing the Rakshasa power’s burden, and Bibi Dong faced the Lovesick Heartbreak Red as her body’s reconstruction continued.

• Xuan Ming brought Bibi Dong and Gu Yuena to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, where Bibi Dong pressed the Asura Divine Power orb to her forehead and triggered a violent clash with her Rakshasa Divine Power.
• Xuan Ming used the well’s power and his Colorless Domain to suppress the conflicting forces, while Gu Yuena warned that Bibi Dong’s body and soul were at risk.
• Xuan Ming found the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox within Bibi Dong’s Rakshasa power and thanked her for the ways she had helped him and Bibi Dong.

In the Divine Realm, the God of Destruction and the Goddess of Life declared their intention to pass their godhoods to Xuan Ming and Gu Yuena, while the Asura God deferred his choice of successor.

The story then shifted to the Heaven Dou Empire, where Xue Ye and Yu Xiaogang gathered resistance leaders as the conflict with Spirit Hall continued.

• Xuan Ming carried the Asura Demon Sword with ease and explained that his Slaughter Domain let him wield its power, while Bibi Dong resolved to grow stronger.
• Xuan Ming guided Bibi Dong as she practiced controlling the sword, then Ning Fengzhi reported that Spirit Hall officials were abusing commoners and that disputes between Soul Masters and ordinary people were increasing.

Tang San was named King Blue Clear Sky for his contributions to the Heaven Dou Empire, but news that a blood-red giant had destroyed Jialing Pass with one strike shattered the court’s confidence.

Xuan Ming received a Sea God trial demanding that he resolve his romantic entanglements, while Bo Saixi and his companions received trials that forced them to confront their feelings for him. As Xuan Ming considered abandoning the trials to pursue a breakthrough, Gu Yuena confronted Bo Saixi and offered to accept her if Xuan Ming loved her.

• Xuan Ming, believing he would fail the Fourth Trial, planned to gather Soul Rings and break through to level one hundred instead.
• Gu Yuena visited Bo Saixi, exposed her feelings for Xuan Ming and her relief at Tang Chen's death, then said she would not object if Xuan Ming accepted Bo Saixi.

When Xuan Ming returned, he mistook their discussion for a plan to sacrifice their Soul Rings and asked who would go first, leaving everyone speechless.
