Lu Yuan awakened in the Primordial Northern Continent as an 86,000-li Grand Void Sky Whale, discovering that his movements could devastate the land and that he could consume Fierce Sha Qi to satisfy his immense hunger. As he began devouring the Qi, a powerful ferocious beast stirred in a distant canyon.

• A giant lizard and other ferocious beasts discovered that the black mountain beneath them was the back of an enormous creature rising from the ground.
• Lu Yuan awakened, recalled fragments of his life on Blue Star, and learned that he was a juvenile Grand Void Sky Whale with a body length of 86,000 li.
• Lu Yuan tested his tail and split a vast mountain range, then realized his body was immensely powerful and ravenously hungry.
• Lu Yuan smelled Fierce Sha Qi, opened his mouth, and drew in the Qi from across a million miles, leaving a patch of clear sky as the ferocious beasts prostrated themselves.
• A sleeping ferocious beast in a black canyon sensed the Fierce Sha Qi draining away and opened its scarlet eyes.

Lu Yuan discovered that devouring vicious Sha Qi strengthened his body, then consumed the Sha Qi across the Northern Land and a ferocious beast that attacked him. After the sky cleared, he sensed a much denser source of Sha energy underground and turned toward it.

• Lu Yuan learned that vicious Sha Qi became pure energy inside his body and steadily increased his growth progress.
• A flying ferocious beast attacked Lu Yuan, broke its claws against his eyelid, and was sucked into his mouth and eaten.
• The surrounding ferocious beasts fled as Lu Yuan resumed devouring Sha Qi until the clouds cleared and sunlight reached the Northern Land.
• Lu Yuan checked his growth progress at 0.27% and realized that the air's thinning Sha Qi made staying there less efficient.
• Lu Yuan detected a denser deposit of vicious Sha energy underground and focused his gaze on the mountains below.

Lu Yuan discovered a vast underground vein of Fiendish Sha Crystals and devoured its deposits, growing larger as nearby vicious beasts fled. His feeding disturbed the Heaven-Splitting Hou, the region’s ruler, who rushed toward the earth vein to confront him.

• Lu Yuan used his Divine Sense to locate a dense Fiendish Sha Crystal vein beneath the ground and opened it by pressing and sweeping aside the rock with his fin.
• The vicious beasts living in the vein fled when Lu Yuan appeared, and he swallowed the exposed crystals, gaining energy and growing seven li in length.
• Lu Yuan spent several days stripping crystals from the vein, increasing his body length to over eighty-six thousand and ninety li, then turned to the deeper deposit.
• The Heaven-Splitting Hou sensed that the vein he had claimed was being depleted, roared, and flew toward Lu Yuan.

The Heaven-Splitting Hou confronted Lu Yuan for devouring its Sha Vein, but its fangs broke when it bit Lu Yuan’s scales. It then struck Lu Yuan with a powerful Fierce Sha Divine Light, leaving him slightly hurt and interested in the Hou’s Sha Qi.

• The Heaven-Splitting Hou reached the depleted Sha Vein and discovered that the immense black mountain range nearby was the living Lu Yuan.
• The Heaven-Splitting Hou accused Lu Yuan of swallowing its Sha Vein and vowed to devour him, while Lu Yuan asked what it intended to do.
• The Heaven-Splitting Hou bit Lu Yuan’s back, breaking two fangs without damaging his scales.
• The Heaven-Splitting Hou unleashed its Taiyi Golden Immortal Law Power and fired a massive Fierce Sha Divine Light at Lu Yuan.
• Lu Yuan felt pain where the beam struck and noticed that the Heaven-Splitting Hou’s Sha Qi smelled more appealing than the ores he had eaten.

Lu Yuan devoured the Heaven-Splitting Hou's repeated Fierce Sha Divine Light attacks, growing stronger until the Heaven-Splitting Hou switched to close combat and wounded him. After learning the Heaven-Splitting Hou's attack pattern, Lu Yuan waited for its next strike and caught it in his sights as a colossal shadow swept toward it.

• The Heaven-Splitting Hou stopped using Sha attacks and slashed Lu Yuan near the eye, leaving shallow bloody scratches.
• The Heaven-Splitting Hou darted around Lu Yuan's head and repeatedly attacked, while Lu Yuan studied its movements.
• Lu Yuan predicted the Heaven-Splitting Hou's next approach, fixed his gaze on it, and a massive shadow swept toward the beast.

Lu Yuan defeated and questioned the Heaven-Splitting Hou, learning that he was in the Northern Land during the Fierce Beast Calamity and that the Beast Emperor Shen Ni ruled the fierce beasts. After letting the injured king go, Lu Yuan sensed a powerful new presence approaching from the north: a Daluo Golden Immortal.

• The Heaven-Splitting Hou tried to flee Lu Yuan’s sweeping tail, but Lu Yuan struck him across tens of thousands of miles and buried him in a crater.
• Lu Yuan pinned the injured Heaven-Splitting Hou and learned that they were in the Northern Land of the Primordial World, where the kings served Shen Ni, the Beast Emperor.
• The Heaven-Splitting Hou explained that Shen Ni was gathering the Northern Land’s forces and appeared to be preparing to expand into other continents.
• Lu Yuan released the Heaven-Splitting Hou, who departed in a dark red streak despite his injuries.
• Lu Yuan sensed a far stronger presence approaching from the north, where a winged, tiger-shaped Daluo Golden Immortal raced through the clouds of Sha.

Qiongqi investigated Lu Yuan after Beast Emperor Shen Ni ordered him to bring the giant beast back, then offered him a place in the Ferocious Beast Imperial Court. Lu Yuan asked whether joining would let him consume the Northern Land’s Sha Qi, and Qiongqi offered him access to all of it, leaving Lu Yuan tempted.

• Qiongqi followed reports of Lu Yuan’s strength into Heaven-Splitting Hou’s former territory and saw the damage Lu Yuan had caused.
• Qiongqi discovered Lu Yuan’s body stretched nearly ninety thousand miles and realized he was still a juvenile.
• Qiongqi introduced himself as Shen Ni’s envoy and invited Lu Yuan to join the Ferocious Beast Imperial Court.
• Lu Yuan asked whether he could consume the Northern Land’s Sha Qi if he joined, and Qiongqi promised him access to all of it.
• Lu Yuan considered Qiongqi’s offer tempting.

Lu Yuan considered Qiongqi’s offer to join Shen Ni’s Imperial Court, but rejected it because he wanted to live peacefully rather than fight in the Beast Emperor’s wars. Qiongqi then threatened to take him by force, and Lu Yuan prepared to resist as the Daluo Golden Immortal raised its claw.

• Lu Yuan asked what duties joining Shen Ni’s Imperial Court would entail, and Qiongqi explained that he would have to obey the Beast Emperor and fight in wars.
• Lu Yuan refused the invitation, saying he preferred finding resources himself and living quietly.
• Qiongqi accused Lu Yuan of lacking reverence for Shen Ni and warned that the Beast Emperor had personally ordered the invitation.
• Qiongqi declared that Lu Yuan would come with it whether he wanted to or not, prompting the distant ferocious beasts to retreat.
• Lu Yuan refused once more, and Qiongqi released its Daluo Golden Immortal pressure and raised a claw to attack.

Lu Yuan swallowed much of Qiongqi’s Daluo attack, taking only minor damage and gaining energy, so Qiongqi switched to rapid close-range strikes. After enduring the assault and studying Qiongqi’s movements, Lu Yuan waited for an opening and began to move.

• Qiongqi struck Lu Yuan with a Daluo claw, and Lu Yuan swallowed most of its energy while suffering only slight damage.
• Lu Yuan called the attack “a little spicy,” and Qiongqi realized that feeding him energy would only strengthen him.
• Qiongqi compressed its power and launched a rapid series of close-range attacks, repeatedly cracking Lu Yuan’s scales.
• Lu Yuan stopped trying to follow Qiongqi and observed that its attacks stayed near his head and neck.
• When Qiongqi approached again, Lu Yuan finally moved as he prepared to counter its next attack.

Lu Yuan rolled his immense body and struck Qiongqi with his tail, shattering his Dharma Form and sending the Daluo Golden Immortal flying. After Qiongqi returned, Lu Yuan asked where he could find denser Sha Qi, and Qiongqi named the Myriad Sha Abyss.

• Lu Yuan rolled over, unleashing a vast storm that shook the Northern Land and disrupted Qiongqi's movements.
• Lu Yuan swept his tail at Qiongqi, who used his Dharma Form and Daluo Law Power to block the blow but was steadily driven backward.
• Lu Yuan shattered Qiongqi's Dharma Form and struck his true body, sending him flying tens of thousands of li while the watching ferocious beasts fled.
• Qiongqi emerged from the distant ruins battered, and Lu Yuan asked him where to find Sha Qi denser than the earth vein's.
• Qiongqi told Lu Yuan that the Myriad Sha Abyss was the place he sought.

After clashing with Qiongqi, Lu Yuan learned about the Myriad Sha Abyss and rested instead of setting out immediately. His fight and ability to consume ferocious Sha drew the attention of the Primordial World's great powers, while Shen Ni decided to watch his growth rather than attack him.

• Qiongqi told Lu Yuan about the Myriad Sha Abyss, and Lu Yuan chose to rest while digesting the Great Luo ferocious Sha he had consumed.
• Hongjun noticed that ferocious Sha Qi in the Northern Land had diminished, failed to fully deduce Lu Yuan's origins, and decided to watch him.
• Luohou learned of Lu Yuan's appetite for Sha Qi and strength, but left him to Shen Ni for now.
• Qiankun Ancestor and Yinyang Ancestor reacted with surprise to Lu Yuan's feat of sending Qiongqi flying with a tail strike.
• Qiongqi returned to Shen Ni's palace and described the fight, prompting Shen Ni to forbid an immediate attack and decide to observe Lu Yuan's growth.

After Qiongqi reported Lu Yuan’s strength and growth, Shen Ni invited him to feed on the Myriad Sha Abyss to test his limits. Lu Yuan instead slept for more than two hundred years, leaving Shen Ni waiting to see whether he would go after waking.

• Qiongqi reported that Lu Yuan had bested him and would likely seek the Myriad Sha Abyss, prompting the Beast Emperor Palace to discuss the threat his growth might pose.
• Shen Ni ordered that Lu Yuan be allowed to eat from the Myriad Sha Abyss so the Imperial Court could discover how much ferocious Sha Qi he could devour.
• Lu Yuan returned to the earth vein, recovered from his battle by absorbing its remaining energy, and felt his body grow stronger.
• Lu Yuan decided to sleep before setting out for the Myriad Sha Abyss, and he remained asleep for more than two hundred years.
• Qiongqi informed Shen Ni that Lu Yuan was still sleeping, and Shen Ni told the others to wait until he woke.

Lu Yuan slept for centuries as his body grew and his absorbed power transformed the Northern Land, allowing vegetation and weak creatures to flourish on his back. After Qiongqi and Shen Ni learned he was still growing in his sleep, Lu Yuan finally awoke, sending tremors through the small ecosystem that had formed on him.

• Lu Yuan's body absorbed residual fiendish Qi while he slept, and the Sha Qi around him gradually thinned as plants, streams, and lakes formed across his back.
• Small white beasts and other weak creatures settled on Lu Yuan, unaware that their mountain home was a living creature.
• Qiongqi visited Lu Yuan several times, discovered he had grown hundreds of li while asleep, and reported the change to the Beast Emperor Palace.
• Shen Ni and the vicious beast giants learned Lu Yuan was still growing, while Shen Ni decided to wait for him to awaken and face the Myriad Sha Abyss.
• After centuries of sleep, Lu Yuan opened his eyes, and his breath stirred the wind, clouds, and creatures living on his back.

After sleeping for several hundred years, Lu Yuan woke to find forests, a river, and spirit beasts living on his back. He protected them with a layer of light and began rising to travel north toward the Myriad Sha Abyss.

• Lu Yuan discovered that vegetation, a stream, and groups of spirit beasts had grown across his back while he slept.
• His movement and voice frightened the creatures, so he spread a dark golden screen across his back to shield them from wind and impact.
• Lu Yuan decided to leave the creatures where they were and noted that he had grown to nearly ninety thousand li long.
• Lu Yuan prepared to travel north to the Myriad Sha Abyss and gently told the creatures to stay put.
• Lu Yuan began rising, parting the clouds above as the ground, woods, river, and distant mountains shifted beneath the spirit beasts.

Lu Yuan lifted his immense body from the Northern Land and swam through the sky toward the Myriad Sha Abyss, carrying the mountain and its inhabitants on his back. As the baleful Qi grew denser, his hunger stirred and he confirmed that he was heading in the right direction.

• The spirit beasts on Lu Yuan’s back realized their land was rising, and many bowed in awe as the dark golden light curtain protected them.
• Lu Yuan fully lifted off, revealing the vast depression his body had pressed into the earth and astonishing the vicious beasts watching nearby.
• A former follower of the Heaven-Splitting Hou said Lu Yuan was likely heading to the Myriad Sha Abyss, which the other Golden Immortal vicious beasts feared.
• Lu Yuan swam across the sky, casting a vast shadow over the land and sending vicious beasts fleeing beneath him.
• After traveling north for several days, Lu Yuan sensed increasingly dense baleful Qi, felt his hunger return, and continued toward the dark clouds on the horizon.

Lu Yuan traveled deeper into the Northern Land, where the Sha Qi grew denser, and accidentally frightened two armies of ferocious beasts into abandoning their battle. He continued toward the Myriad Sha Abyss, drawn by the increasingly enticing Sha Qi.

• Lu Yuan flew north through the clouds, absorbing Sha Qi as its concentration increased.
• Two armies of ferocious beasts prepared to fight over territory on a wasteland below.
• The beasts noticed Lu Yuan's enormous body passing overhead and fled in opposite directions when he lowered his head.
• After Lu Yuan left, the beasts connected him to rumors of a colossal strange beast that had sent the Heaven-Splitting Hou King flying, and both sides agreed to stop fighting for now.
• Lu Yuan continued north toward the Myriad Sha Abyss, following the growing concentration of Sha Qi.

Lu Yuan traveled through the Northern Land, eating Sha Qi and drawing a growing crowd of ferocious beasts who realized he had no interest in attacking them. After hearing that the Myriad Sha Abyss held far denser and more dangerous Sha Qi, he eagerly reached its edge, ready to enter.

• Lu Yuan ate Sha Qi from a valley, leaving its ferocious beasts bewildered when he drained much of the black mist without attacking them.
• As Lu Yuan continued north, he cleared Sha Qi from places along his route, and ferocious beasts began following him from a safe distance.
• The pursuing beasts guessed Lu Yuan was heading for the Myriad Sha Abyss and warned that its inner Sha Qi could corrode a true spirit.
• A Golden Immortal ferocious bird told Lu Yuan that the Sha Qi grew denser toward the abyss's core, and Lu Yuan eagerly confirmed he would enter.
• Lu Yuan reached the edge of the vast Myriad Sha Abyss as its billowing Sha Qi stirred his body.

Lu Yuan tested the Sha Qi at the Myriad Sha Abyss and discovered that his body could absorb it without harm. Shen Ni let him enter and reopened deep Sha veins to see how much he could consume, and the chapter ended with Lu Yuan descending into the abyss.

• Lu Yuan probed the abyss with his Divine Sense, found that the deep Sha Qi attacked it, and withdrew it.
• Lu Yuan put a fin into the Sha mist and absorbed its Sha Qi, while the watching ferocious beasts saw that his scales remained unharmed.
• Shen Ni watched Lu Yuan through a water mirror and refused to activate the arrays, choosing to let him enter.
• Shen Ni reopened sealed Sha vein passages so Lu Yuan would have more Sha Qi to absorb.
• Lu Yuan reinforced the light curtain protecting the creatures on his back and descended into the Myriad Sha Abyss as Shen Ni watched.

Lu Yuan descended into the Myriad Sha Abyss and devoured its Sha sea, growing rapidly as the vicious beasts and observers realized he was draining the abyss. He reached 99,700 li, where a bloodline change began to stir.

• Lu Yuan entered the Myriad Sha Abyss, protected the creatures inside his dark-gold screen, and plunged into the liquid Sha sea.
• Lu Yuan unleashed his suction and devoured vast amounts of Sha liquid, causing his body to grow while swallowing a vicious beast caught in the current.
• The vicious beasts outside sensed the Sha Qi flowing out of the abyss decrease and realized Lu Yuan was eating; the overlords at the Beast Emperor Palace watched the Sha sea level fall.
• Lu Yuan kept devouring Sha liquid as the abyss’s beasts fled and its rock walls collapsed around his growing body.
• Lu Yuan reached 99,700 li, felt his bloodline throbbing and a shackle loosening, and sensed that he was close to a threshold.

Lu Yuan reached one hundred thousand li and underwent his first major bloodline transformation, gaining stronger scales and the ability to absorb energy passively. After his transformation subsided, he sensed something touch him from deep beneath the Sha Sea.

• Lu Yuan devoured the remaining Sha liquid until his body reached one hundred thousand li, awakening a dormant bloodline power as the abyss and its spectators trembled.
• Lu Yuan's blood, bones, and scales transformed, strengthening his body and mending flaws as new star-patterned scales grew in place of the old ones.
• Lu Yuan discovered that his body could now absorb nearby energy automatically, allowing him to continue growing even while resting.
• Shen Ni and the other beast titans recognized that Lu Yuan could keep growing without actively devouring, while the beasts outside the abyss felt his increased pressure.
• After his transformation ended, Lu Yuan sensed something touch him from deep beneath the Sha Sea and turned his attention downward.

Lu Yuan resisted and destroyed a Chaos Demon God’s remnant will that had gathered inside him from the Sha liquid, then discovered he could convert its fragments into spiritual power. As he resumed devouring the Sha Sea, Shen Ni learned that Lu Yuan had erased the remnant and ordered the others to keep watching with increased seriousness.

• A remnant will in the Myriad Sha Abyss showed Lu Yuan visions of Pangu cleaving through Chaos Demon Gods and then attacked his consciousness.
• Lu Yuan formed the phantom of the Grand Void Sky Whale and shattered the remnant will with three cries.
• Lu Yuan’s devouring power converted the scattered spiritual fragments into pure spiritual power, so he resumed reaching toward the Sha Sea.
• In the Beast Emperor Palace, Shen Ni sensed that his mark attached to a remnant will had vanished and learned that Lu Yuan had destroyed it.
• Shen Ni ordered Qiongqi and the other fierce beast giants to keep watching, now more serious about Lu Yuan’s progress.

Lu Yuan devoured the Myriad Sha Abyss so quickly that Shen Ni activated the Heaven-Locking Sha Formation to confine him. Bound by chains that grew stronger whenever he struggled, Lu Yuan stopped fighting and spoke with Shen Ni, who sought another chance to talk.

• Lu Yuan rapidly absorbed the Sha Sea and the lingering thoughts of Fiendgods, growing larger without showing any instability.
• Shen Ni and the Beast Emperor Palace's leaders watched the first layer's reserves decline and realized Lu Yuan could digest everything he consumed.
• Shen Ni ordered the Heaven-Locking Sha Formation activated to confine Lu Yuan while he spoke with him again.
• The formation's chains bound Lu Yuan and strengthened as he strained against them, while nearby vicious beasts recognized the formation and hoped it would suppress him.
• Lu Yuan stopped struggling and asked whether the voice speaking through the formation belonged to Shen Ni.
• Shen Ni confirmed his identity and told Lu Yuan they could talk again.

Shen Ni tried to recruit Lu Yuan into the Imperial Court, but Lu Yuan refused and explained that he wanted to avoid a life of constant fighting. Shen Ni tightened the Heaven-Locking Sha Formation around him, only for Lu Yuan to discover he could consume its Sha Qi and begin breaking the chains.

• Shen Ni offered Lu Yuan a place second only to himself in the Imperial Court, along with resources and protection, but Lu Yuan refused again because he wanted to live without constant battles.
• Shen Ni concluded that Lu Yuan needed time to reconsider and activated the Heaven-Locking Sha Formation at full strength, tightening its chains and suppressing the space around Lu Yuan.
• Lu Yuan sensed that the chains were powered by Sha Qi and began draining their energy with his suction ability.
• The chains lost their power and broke one after another as Lu Yuan ate the formation's Sha Qi, easing the pressure on him.
• Shen Ni realized Lu Yuan was consuming the formation and, after Lu Yuan asked for more, told him he could eat his fill.

Shen Ni flooded the Myriad Sha Abyss with Sha Qi to overwhelm Lu Yuan, but Lu Yuan adapted, grew larger, and ate until the Heaven-Locking Sha Formation collapsed. Shen Ni then left the Beast Emperor Palace to confront him.

• Shen Ni redirected the Imperial Court's Sha Qi into the Myriad Sha Abyss to try to stuff Lu Yuan to his limit.
• Lu Yuan adapted to the energy, absorbed it faster, and grew beyond a hundred thousand li as Shen Ni repeatedly increased the Sha Qi flow.
• The black-armored giant warned Shen Ni that nearby main Sha Veins were being strained, but Shen Ni ordered the final batch sent in after Lu Yuan asked for more.
• The Heaven-Locking Sha Formation's core cracked and exploded, and Lu Yuan broke free as the entire formation collapsed.
• Lu Yuan thanked Shen Ni for the meal, and Shen Ni rose from his throne and vanished from the Beast Emperor Palace.

After Lu Yuan devoured the Heaven-Locking Sha Formation and a vast amount of Sha Qi, Shen Ni arrived in person and assessed him. Shen Ni offered Lu Yuan a position above the kings of the Northern Land, but Lu Yuan had not yet answered.

• The fierce beasts watched the Myriad Sha Abyss recover after Lu Yuan caused the Heaven-Locking Sha Formation to collapse and consumed its Sha Qi.
• Shen Ni appeared, silencing the abyss and drawing its Sha Qi around himself as the fierce beasts bowed in reverence.
• Shen Ni and Lu Yuan met face-to-face, and Shen Ni admitted that Lu Yuan was better than he had expected.
• Lu Yuan asked how much Sha Qi remained in the abyss, and Shen Ni learned that Lu Yuan had nearly digested what he had consumed.
• Shen Ni offered Lu Yuan abundant resources and a position above all the kings, promising that they would see Lu Yuan as they saw the Beast Emperor.
