• A bolt of lightning struck the courtyard and left a hovering war hammer, which Kong Ling reported to Kong Xuan.

• Kong Xuan examined the sea in the arrow’s direction and said they would soon reach their destination.

• The Voyager reached Fire God Mountain, where Captain Luo Yuan stopped the ship because the surrounding sea was too hot and unstable.
• Kong Xuan led the group to the mountain and identified the crater as the inheritance entrance, with the true site beneath its magma.
• The group feared they could not survive the heat long enough to reach the entrance.
• The God of Love Pearl emerged and formed a gold-and-silver water barrier that shielded everyone from the heat.

• Kong Xuan guided the group down through the magma inside the God of Love’s gold-and-silver water barrier.

• The God of Love Pearl flew from Kong Xuan’s hand to the Fire God, who sensed Evelyn’s presence and returned the pearl.
• The Fire God declared that those who passed his trial could inherit his authority and wield the way of heavenly fire.

The Fire God invited Kong Xuan and the others to touch the Primordial Divine Fire and undergo its trial to see if they qualified for his inheritance. After the group’s results fell short of the standard for inheriting his divine position, the Fire God singled out Kong Xuan and asked whether he would try.

• The Fire God dropped his solemn act, explained that the Primordial Divine Fire would judge potential successors, and invited the group to touch it.
• Xu Tianyi went first, and the fire marked him with six trials, qualifying him only for basic trials and a portion of the Fire God's blessings.
• Xu Wei and Shui Ling each triggered six trials, Xiao Hongchen triggered seven, and Qiangu Fuliu reached the group’s best result with eight.
• The Fire God showed greater interest in Kong Xuan than in the remaining candidates and asked him to step forward and try.

After breaking through another Soul Douluo level during the voyage, Kong Xuan joined Gu Yuena in responding to a level-one alert when an enormous life-form rose beneath the sea.

• Kong Xuan explained that Dragon Valley was both a dragon graveyard and the site of the Dragon God's inheritance, and Gu Yuena became eager to claim it.

• Kong Xuan and Gu Yuena sent out their spiritual power to investigate, but both streams struck an impenetrable barrier about ten thousand meters ahead.

The Demon Empress approached the Voyager, and Kong Xuan recognized her as the million-year Deep Sea Demon Whale driven by vengeance. Her first attack shattered the ship’s linked Soul Tool Shield and badly damaged the vessel, leaving Captain Luo Yuan to decide what to do next.

• A detection operator warned Luo Yuan that an enormous Sea Soul Beast was rapidly closing in on the Voyager, and Luo Yuan ordered the crew to activate the linked Soul Tool Shield.
• Kong Xuan recognized the approaching beast as the Demon Empress, a million-year Deep Sea Demon Whale who had pursued power and revenge since Tang San killed her husband.
• Luo Yuan ordered the attack units to fire, but the Soul Cannons barely affected the Demon Empress.
• The Demon Empress raised a vast wave and slammed it into the Voyager, breaking its shield and damaging the hull, deck, and Soul Cannons.
• Luo Yuan surveyed the wrecked command room and faced an urgent decision as captain.

Luo Yuan confronted the Demon Empress to draw her attention and buy the Voyager time, but his strongest cannon strike barely wounded her. Kong Xuan recognized the Demon Empress, prompting her to demand how he knew of her existence.

• Luo Yuan ordered the Voyager crew to stop attacking and switch to the secondary linked defensive barrier, then flew toward the Demon Empress to negotiate.
• When the Demon Empress showed no sign of relenting, Luo Yuan prepared his Level 9 Fixed Soul Guidance Cannon-Sea Splitter and urged Kong Xuan and Gu Yuena to escape.
• Kong Xuan and Gu Yuena appeared beside Luo Yuan and remained calm despite the danger, while Kong Xuan teased him for speaking so much.
• The Demon Empress declared that none of them would escape, and Luo Yuan fired the Sea Splitter into the whirlpool.
• Luo Yuan's shot exposed and wounded the Demon Empress, but her injury rapidly healed, leaving him shaken by how little damage he had caused.
• Kong Xuan identified the Demon Empress, and she demanded to know who he was and how he knew of her existence.

Kong Xuan confronted the Demon Empress, who had come to devour him, and revealed overwhelming power by summoning the Sea-Calming Divine Needle. He struck her with it, leaving the Demon Empress trapped beneath its crushing force as a massive shock wave engulfed the sea.

After eight days of searching the vast continent, Kong Xuan and Gu Yuena found a place with traces of high-ranking dragons that might conceal the spatial rift to Dragon Valley. Since Kong Xuan could not use his power to open it, he revealed a one-of-a-kind mobile Teleportation Array and left Gu Yuena wondering whether he planned to bring in others to help.

• Kong Xuan and Gu Yuena spent eight days searching the continent for the spatial rift connecting to Dragon Valley.
