Chapter Summaries

• Bibi Dong agreed to care for Xiao Wu’s mother, and Qi Ling set off with Xiao Wu, Luna, and Yu Tianyi using his Divine Dragon Express.

On the way to Sea God Island, Qi Ling embraced Xiao Wu, Luna, and Yu Tianyi while reflecting on how to stop the Divine Court without devastating the Douluo Continent. He had no solution yet, but Xiao Wu and Yu Tianyi admired his concern for everyone affected by the coming war.

• Xiao Wu teased Qi Ling by stealing the sour blade of grass from his mouth, then stayed close to him despite Luna and Yu Tianyi being nearby.
• Qi Ling drew Luna and Yu Tianyi into his embrace, and Yu Tianyi worried that Xue Ke might be angry.
• Qi Ling told Xiao Wu that he was thinking about the Divine Court and the threat it posed to every Soul Master and person on the Douluo Continent.
• Qi Ling explained that defeating the Divine Court could cause terrible casualties, while killing Qian Xunji might not stop his followers from carrying out their orders.
• Xiao Wu and Yu Tianyi praised Qi Ling for caring about the continent and the people who would suffer in the war.

Qi Ling and his companions reached Sea God Island, where the newly appointed Sea Dragon Douluo attacked them and challenged Qi Ling. As Xiao Wu, Luna, and Yu Tianyi watched from a distance, Sea Dragon Douluo transformed into a sea dragon and became the target of their ridicule.

• After Qi Ling explained his belief that ordinary people were a country's foundation, the group neared Sea God Island and an attack scattered his cloud.

Qi Ling returned from the Devil Realm and effortlessly defeated Sea Dragon Douluo after revealing his Divine Dragon Avatar. Bo Saixi brought Qi Ling and his companions to the Sea God Hall, where she explained Tang San's progress and his coming chance to inherit the Sea God's Godhood.

• Sea Dragon Douluo challenged Qi Ling, but Qi Ling's Divine Dragon Avatar overwhelmed him and sent him crashing to the ground with one blow.
• Bo Saixi arrived, recognized Qi Ling, and escorted him and his three companions to the Sea God Hall.
• Qi Ling learned that Tang San had outgrown the Sea God's Light and was no longer cultivating on the thousand and one steps.
• Bo Saixi said Tang San had seventeen Soul Rings, had surpassed Soul Power Level 95, and was expected to break through after obtaining his final Soul Ring.
• Bo Saixi explained that Tang San could then inherit the Sea God's Godhood with her help and reach demigod-level strength.

Qi Ling learned that Tang San was cultivating under the sea to stabilize his rapidly gained power, and he went with Bo Saixi and the others to wait for him. While Hu Liena worried over Tang San, Qi Ling turned the shore into a campsite and reassured her that Tang San would be safe.

• Bo Saixi told Qi Ling that Tang San was cultivating on the seabed to refine his power and avoid damage from his rapid advancement.
• Bo Saixi estimated that Tang San would emerge within a day or two and led Qi Ling and his companions to the shore where he had descended.
• Qi Ling, Xiao Wu, Luna, and Tianyi set up camp and prepared to catch and grill fish while Bo Saixi watched in surprise.
• Qi Ling reassured Hu Liena that Tang San was protected and promised to scold him for making her worry.
• Hu Liena helped Xiao Wu put up the tents, and Xiao Wu told her she no longer had to envy Hu Liena and Tang San because Qi Ling was with her.

Qi Ling returned to the sea and joined Xiao Bai in a fish-catching contest, which he won by letting her do all the work. He later used his grilled fish to make her call him Lord Qi Ling, and Xiao Bai stormed back into the water while Qi Ling planned to tempt her with more food the next day.

• Xiao Bai emerged from the water, embarrassed that she had forgotten to wear clothes, and challenged Qi Ling to catch the biggest, tastiest fish.
• Xiao Bai caught a fish over two meters long while Qi Ling returned empty-handed, then Qi Ling cheerfully admitted defeat and called her Lady Xiao Bai.
• Qi Ling grilled the fish and made Xiao Bai call him Lord Qi Ling before giving her a portion.
• Xiao Bai ate her fish and jumped back into the sea, calling Qi Ling a big meanie, while he said he would lure her over again with more cooking the next day.

Qi Ling reunited with Hai Wei'er on Sea God Island, where she revealed that she had reached the Super Douluo realm. The next morning, Qi Ling sensed the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King approaching Tang San on the seabed and dove down to save him.

• Qi Ling followed Hai Wei'er's flute and found her playing beneath a Sacred Pillar.
• Hai Wei'er confronted Qi Ling for neglecting to visit her, then reconciled with him and spent the night with him in the water.
• Hai Wei'er revealed that the Heart of the Ocean had helped her reach level 95 and the Super Douluo realm.
• Bo Saixi warned that Tang San had to surface by the end of the day or risk danger.
• Qi Ling sensed the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King approaching Tang San on the deep seabed and dove down to rescue him.

Qi Ling descended into the deep sea as Tang San faced the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King while exhausted and alone. The whale revealed that devouring the Sea God’s successor could give him another chance to become a god, then began tormenting Tang San with powerful attacks.

• Xiao Wu worried about Qi Ling, but Bo Saixi refused to accompany him because Tang San’s trial had to remain undisturbed.
• Qi Ling transformed into a Divine Dragon and descended while Tang San, nearing his limit, sensed the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King approaching.
• Tang San judged that he could not escape and prepared to defend himself with the Sea God Trident.
• The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King revealed that he had waited ten thousand years to devour the Sea God’s successor and seize his power.
• The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King struck Tang San repeatedly, leaving him severely wounded and unable to withstand the whale’s final sea-dragon attack.

Qi Ling arrived just in time to save Tang San from the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King's killing blow, then fought the whale in the deep sea. Unable to deal meaningful damage or outlast the whale, Qi Ling heard a voice offer help.

• As Tang San neared death, Qi Ling appeared in his Divine Dragon form and shattered the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King's spear with his teeth.
• Qi Ling gave Tang San medicine and blocked the whale's energy shockwave before carrying him clear of its pursuit.
• After Tang San recovered enough to protect himself, Qi Ling charged the whale with his Demon God Fangtian Halberd and wounded its mouth.
• Qi Ling struggled to injure the enormous whale and found that the deep-sea pressure made his power run low before the whale's did.
• As Qi Ling wondered how to defeat the whale, a voice inside him offered to help.

Qi Ling learned Blood Devil’s Demon God Skill, Annihilation in All Ten Directions, and used it to cripple the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King. Tang San finished off the beast and began absorbing its golden Soul Ring, while the people of Sea God Island gathered around in awe of Qi Ling’s strength.

• Blood Devil appeared and taught Qi Ling how to awaken the Demon God Halberd and unleash a new skill.
• Qi Ling used Annihilation in All Ten Directions to break through the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King’s shock waves and nearly split the beast apart.
• Qi Ling spared the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King’s heart and told Tang San to deliver the final blow for its Soul Ring and Soul Bone.
• Qi Ling carried the whale’s corpse to the surface with Tang San, and Bo Saixi confirmed that Tang San had completed his final trial.
• Tang San began absorbing the golden Soul Ring as Sea God Island’s guardians and Xiao Bai arrived and marveled at Qi Ling’s victory.

Qi Ling brought the gravely afflicted Tang San to the Clear Sky Sect, seeking Tang Chen’s help. Tang Xiao revealed that Tang Chen had secluded himself in the rear mountain but had left instructions to emerge if Tang San returned in difficulty.

• Qi Ling arrived at the Clear Sky Sect with Tang San sealed in a crystal coffin and told Tang Xiao that only Tang Chen could save him.
• Tang Xiao examined Tang San and saw that baleful Qi covered his body, while a speck of blue light protected his chest.
• Tang Xiao explained that Tang Chen had been secluded in the rear mountain since returning to the sect half a year earlier and refused to see anyone.
• Tang Xiao recalled Tang Chen’s instruction to summon him if Tang San returned in difficulty.
• Qi Ling suspected Tang Chen had entered seclusion because his body was failing and he was prolonging his life until Tang San needed him.

Qi Ling sought Tang Chen’s help for Tang San, who was losing himself to the Asura Divine Power. Tang Chen removed the protection suppressing Tang San’s power and fought him, while Qi Ling realized Tang Chen might be trying to save Xiao San by sacrificing himself.

• Tang Xiao told Qi Ling that a baleful presence prevented anyone from reaching Tang Chen, so Qi Ling went to the cave alone.
• Tang Chen said he could offer little help and that Tang San had to endure the Asura Assessment himself, then emerged to fulfill his final purpose.
• Tang Chen identified the necklace on Tang San’s chest as protection against the Asura Divine Power and told Qi Ling to remove it.
• Without the necklace, Tang San lost control and attacked Tang Chen, who fought back with the Asura Blood Sword.
• Qi Ling told Tang Xiao and the Clear Sky Sect elders not to intervene, then realized Tang Chen might be risking his life to save Tang San.

Qi Ling realized Tang Chen intended to die by Tang San’s hand so Tang San could claim the Asura Godhood, but warned that the act would leave Tang San with a destructive inner demon. He stopped Tang San’s final strike and urged Tang Chen to trust his descendant to regain control on his own.

• Qi Ling explained that Tang Chen planned to sacrifice himself so Tang San could obtain the Asura Godhood and be jolted out of the killing aura.
• Hu Liena and Xiao Wu worried that killing Tang Chen would leave Tang San burdened with unbearable guilt, and Qi Ling told Hu Liena that their bond might help bring Tang San back.
• Tang San defeated Tang Chen, took the Asura Blood Sword, and charged at the defenseless elder as Tang Chen prepared to die.
• Qi Ling blocked Tang San’s sword and rebuked Tang Chen for risking his descendant’s future by making himself Tang San’s inner demon.
• Tang Chen questioned how Tang San could regain his senses without the sacrifice, and Qi Ling urged him to trust Tang San’s strength.

Qi Ling drew Tang San’s attention away from Tang Chen and fought him while Hu Liena attempted to reach Tang San’s mind with help from Luna and Yu Tianyi. When Tang San’s killing aura prevented her from entering, Qi Ling decided to weaken him by beating him, and seized the Asura Blood Sword.

• Tang Chen explained that Tang San had lost control to Asura Divine Power and was drawn to the strongest killing aura, so Qi Ling unleashed his own and became Tang San’s target.
• Qi Ling and Tang San clashed in the sky as Hu Liena asked Xiao Wu, Luna, and Yu Tianyi to help her awaken Tang San’s memories.
• Hu Liena used her Heavenly Fox Illusion Realm and borrowed Luna’s and Yu Tianyi’s Spiritual Power, but Tang San’s killing aura kept her out of his mental world.
• Qi Ling realized Tang San’s power and killing aura had to be weakened before Hu Liena could reach him, so he stopped holding back and grabbed the Asura Blood Sword.

Qi Ling subdued Tang San during his struggle against the Asura God's power, and Hu Liena helped him regain control by embracing and kissing him. Tang San's killing aura calmed, and Tang Chen thanked Qi Ling for saving him.

• Qi Ling repeatedly struck Tang San and knocked him unconscious after Tang San's attacks failed to hurt him.
• Hu Liena used the Heavenly Fox Illusion Realm and discovered that Tang San was still alive.
• Tang San awakened, bound by Qi Ling's Soul Power chains, and struggled against the power within him.
• Hu Liena changed back into human form and kissed Tang San, calming his pain and helping him control the killing aura.
• Qi Ling released Tang San from the chains, and Tang Chen thanked him for saving Tang San.

Tang San’s Asura Divine Power remained unstable, and Tang Chen and Qi Ling proposed that Hu Liena share his Godhood to ease the strain and become a god herself. After Hu Liena agreed, Tang Chen prepared to guide their inheritance ceremony despite his own life being nearly spent.

• Tang San woke with no memory of how he had left Sea God Island, and Qi Ling found that the Asura Divine Power in his body was only temporarily suppressed.
• Tang Chen explained that the pressure of carrying both Sea God and Asura powers was too much for Tang San to endure.
• Qi Ling and Tang Chen proposed that Hu Liena become the sheath for the Asura Blood Sword and share the Asura Divine Power with Tang San.
• Qi Ling explained that Hu Liena’s Divine Slaughter’s Domain made her compatible with the power, and that sharing a Godhood would connect their hearts and thoughts.
• Hu Liena agreed to share the Asura God Position, and Tang Chen sent everyone away so he could prepare the ceremony with Tang San and Hu Liena.
• After the others left, Tang Chen revealed that he had little vitality remaining and vowed to help the two complete their Godhood inheritance safely.

Qi Ling trained the Clear Sky Sect by letting its members unleash their strongest attacks against his defenses, then prepared to test how well they could endure a beating. The sect gathered for the next day’s lesson as Qi Ling announced that their task was to survive.

• Qi Ling challenged the Clear Sky Sect members to break through his defenses while he neither dodged nor counterattacked.
• The elders and dozens of Soul Saint-level members attacked Qi Ling with Clear Sky Hammers and Martial Soul Avatars, but he remained unharmed and treated the barrage as a massage.
• Qi Ling ended the first day’s training and reflected that the sect had lost its courage after years of isolation.
• The Clear Sky Sect members assembled the next day, eager to challenge Qi Ling again.
• Qi Ling announced that the new training would test their ability to endure attacks, and told them to survive by any means.

After Tang San and Hu Liena inherited the Asura God Position, the Clear Sky Sect mourned Tang Chen and returned to Sea God Island so Tang San could inherit the Sea God Position. Qi Ling promised to save Bo Saixi from the sacrifice required by the inheritance and invited her to become Dragon God Island's High Priestess.

• Qi Ling ended the Clear Sky Sect members' brutal training after they collapsed, while Tang Xiao admitted he would have fared little better.
• Tang San and Hu Liena emerged from the training room having inherited the Asura God Position together, and the group learned Tang Chen had died.
• The Clear Sky Sect held Tang Chen's funeral and placed his memorial tablet in the ancestral hall.
• Back on Sea God Island, Bo Saixi learned Hu Liena had become the sheath of the Asura Blood Sword and confirmed Tang San could still inherit the Sea God Position.
• Qi Ling showed Bo Saixi the Heart of the Ocean and promised she would survive the inheritance ceremony, then invited her to serve as High Priestess on Dragon God Island.
• Bo Saixi agreed to go with Qi Ling, saying she believed in the hope and spirit he represented.

Bo Saixi began transferring the Sea God’s power to Tang San, while the Heart of the Ocean protected her from the sacrifice the inheritance normally required. Tang San entered the golden door and confronted the Sea God, who confirmed that Bo Saixi had survived and regained her freedom.

• Bo Saixi said Hai Wei'er could succeed her as high priestess and explained the risks of Tang San inheriting the Sea God’s Godhood alongside the incomplete Asura God’s power.
• At Bo Saixi’s instruction, Qi Ling gathered Tang San, their companions, and Hai Wei’er to absorb the energy released by the ceremony, then gave Bo Saixi the Heart of the Ocean.
• Tang San replaced the Sea God Trident on its platform, and Bo Saixi began transferring her divine power to him.
• Bo Saixi’s nine Soul Rings shattered into power that surged into Tang San, while the Heart of the Ocean protected her from the golden flames and preserved her life.
• A golden door formed, and Tang San entered it to meet the Sea God and demand an explanation for the inheritance’s supposed sacrifice.
• The Sea God told Tang San that Bo Saixi had completed her duties, regained her freedom, and survived because Qi Ling had saved her.

After Bo Saixi completed her final mission, blue flames transformed her into her seventeen-year-old self and restored her freedom. She appointed Hai Wei'er as Sea God Island’s new High Priestess and prepared to leave with Qi Ling for Dragon God Island.

• After Tang San left, blue flames continued to surround Bo Saixi, and Qi Ling assured everyone that they were not harming her.
• When the flames vanished, Bo Saixi had returned to her seventeen-year-old appearance and discovered that she had lost her Sea God power.
• Qi Ling reasoned that the Sea God had given Bo Saixi a new lease on life, freeing her from the mission she had taken on at seventeen.
• Xiao Wu comforted Bo Saixi, and Qi Ling gave her some of Xiao Wu’s clothes because her old clothes no longer fit.
• Bo Saixi appointed Hai Wei'er the new High Priestess of Sea God Island and said she would leave with Qi Ling as High Priestess of Dragon God Island.
