Chapter Summaries

Lin Xuan captured a Demon Monster’s infant but could not extract useful information before Yuanke attacked him, believing he had abducted Xiang'er. Xiang'er’s defense of Lin Xuan eased the conflict, and the two compared how they had reached the mysterious space before Yuanke tried to search the Demon Infant’s memories.

• Lin Xuan trapped the fleeing Demon Infant with his Immortal Binding Rope and attempted to use the Soul Searching Technique, but found its sea of consciousness empty.

• Devil qi formed crows that regenerated after being destroyed, and the birds swarmed Lin Xuan and Yuanke.

Lin Xuan crossed the black hole and reached a palace surrounded by lifelike statues of human and Demon Race cultivators. Suspecting the figures were not statues at all, he left the chapter facing the mystery of what had happened to them.
