Chapter Summaries

Qing He returned to the Qing Family and learned that the Huo Family planned to take Qing Ling’s Innate Dao Bone under the guise of marriage, after crippling Qing Yan for refusing them.

The Huo Family attacked the Qing Family to seize Qing Ling, and Huo Xuan shattered the Qing Family’s protective array with one strike. The battle erupted, with Shi Jingtian and Tu Jiao confronting Huo Xuan, Rui’er trapping Huo Shan, and Lu Changsheng blocking two Huo Family elders.

Lu Changsheng’s Three-Colored Lightning Lotus destroyed the Qing Family residence and left Huo Xuan crippled, but Lu Changsheng killed him before the Huo Family could save him. The Qing Family won the battle at great cost, while the Lightning Law Palace’s retaliation and Lu Changsheng’s mission to save the Eastern Mausoleum Domain remained ahead.

After the Qing Family and Lu Changsheng’s group departed in different directions, Lei Pojun and the Thunder Guard arrived in Azure Ruins City and began a relentless pursuit.

• The Sea God Halberd healed Lu Changsheng’s injuries and replenished his spiritual power, leaving him restored and more closely connected to the weapon.

• Lei Pojun led several thousand Thunder Guards into Azure Ruins City and found Green Wave Manor empty after the Qing Family had fled.
• Lei Pojun ordered his forces to track down Lu Changsheng and the remaining Qing Family members, declaring that the Lightning Law Palace would exterminate them.

Lu Changsheng and his companions reached the deadly Burial God Abyss while fleeing the Lightning Law Palace, only for Lei Pojun and his guards to catch them. Rather than be captured after Lei Pojun nearly defeated them, all five leaped into the abyss, leaving their fate unknown.

• Lu Changsheng, Shi Jingtian, Tu Jiao, Rui'er, and Qing He found the erupting Earth Fiend Cold Qi blocking their route at Burial God Abyss.

• As Lei Pojun prepared to trap them with Heaven and Earth Thunder Prison, the five chose to leap into Burial God Abyss rather than be captured.
• Lei Pojun failed to detect any sign of life in the abyss and ordered two squads to search its edge while he pursued the Qing Family remnants.

Lu Changsheng, Shi Jingtian, and Tu Jiao survived the Earth Fiend Cold Qi by taking shelter on a stone platform, then descended into Burial God Abyss to search for Qing He and Rui'er. They reached the frozen abyss floor, where their companions’ fate remained unknown.

• Earth Fiend Cold Qi tore through the group as Lu Changsheng, Shi Jingtian, Tu Jiao, Rui'er, and Qing He fell into Burial God Abyss.
• A cold qi tornado swept Qing He away, and a separate current dragged Rui'er into the depths.
• Lu Changsheng, Shi Jingtian, and Tu Jiao combined their powers to reach a stone platform that repelled the cold qi and recover from their injuries.
• After the Earth Fiend Cold Qi weakened, the three left the platform and descended together to search for Qing He and Rui'er.
• The three reached the frozen bottom of Burial God Abyss and saw a world of Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice covered in dense Earth Fiend cold energy.

Lu Changsheng, Shi Jingtian, and Tu Jiao followed fresh traces into a frozen cavern while searching for Qing He and Rui'er, where they discovered the Great Fortune Ice Lotus Platform. A half-step Martial Marquis Realm Ice Soul Cold Python guarding the treasure attacked them, leaving them facing a powerful threat.

• Lu Changsheng, Shi Jingtian, and Tu Jiao descended into the frozen abyss and found fresh blood and ice marks suggesting Qing He and Rui'er had recently passed through.

• Shi Jingtian spotted a Great Fortune Ice Lotus Platform, and Tu Jiao explained its cultivation and healing benefits.
• An Ice Soul Cold Python erupted from the darkness and struck at the three, forcing Lu Changsheng to pull Shi Jingtian and Tu Jiao out of the way.

Lu Changsheng, Shi Jingtian, and Tu Jiao fought the Ice Soul Cold Python to seize the Great Fortune Ice Lotus Platform. Shi Jingtian escaped with the treasure after Lu Changsheng and Tu Jiao drew the python’s attention, and Lu Changsheng collapsed the passage to cover their retreat.

• Lu Changsheng, Shi Jingtian, and Tu Jiao attacked the Ice Soul Cold Python, but its defenses and control of the icy cave kept them locked in a draining battle.

• Lu Changsheng used Thunder Tribulation Armor and the Thunder Emperor Sword as he and Tu Jiao unleashed their full strength, staggering the python and creating an opening.
• Shi Jingtian seized the Great Fortune Ice Lotus Platform and fled as the enraged python pursued him.
• Lu Changsheng detonated a lightning sphere to collapse the ice passage behind the group, temporarily burying the python, and the three escaped with the treasure.

Lu Changsheng, Tu Jiao, and Shi Jingtian escaped the Ice Soul Cold Python, used the Great Fortune Ice Lotus Platform to recover, and found Qing He and Rui'er in the Burial God Abyss. After all five escaped the abyss, they set out for Peerless City, while the Thunder Guard reported their survival and tracked their route.

• Lu Changsheng, Tu Jiao, and Shi Jingtian used the Great Fortune Ice Lotus Platform to heal their injuries and restore their spiritual power.

• The five companions traveled through the ice passages and escaped the Burial God Abyss together.
• Lu Changsheng chose Peerless City as their next destination, and the five set out east.
• The Thunder Guard watched the group depart, then reported their survival and alerted spies along the route to Peerless City.

Lu Changsheng and his companions discovered two Lightning Law Palace scouts following them and killed them before disguising themselves to reach Peerless City. There, they found themselves named in a lucrative Thunder Punishment Wanted Order and entered the city under cover, with bounty hunters already searching for them.

• Lu Changsheng and Rui'er sensed two Lightning Law Palace scouts trailing the group, so Tu Jiao concealed them with her Spirit Concealing Cloak and they ambushed the scouts.
• Shi Jingtian killed one scout with his Mountain Shaker Staff, while Tu Jiao killed the other with Primordial Break; the group destroyed their communication talismans and disguised themselves as ordinary cultivators.
• Lu Changsheng, Shi Jingtian, Tu Jiao, Rui'er, and Qing He reached Peerless City and saw wanted portraits accusing them of killing Elder Huo Xuan, with especially high rewards offered for Lu Changsheng.
• The group quietly paid the entry fee and passed through Peerless City's gates while bounty hunters began leaving to search for them.

Lu Changsheng and the others arrived in Peerless City and learned about its annual Grand Treasure Exhibition, where they encountered rare artifacts, pills, and materials from across the North Divine Domain. They left the exhibition with new insights and possibilities for strengthening themselves, though the Sky-Mending Divine Cauldron remained beyond its offerings.

• Lu Changsheng and his companions entered Peerless City and marveled at its crowded streets, powerful cultivators, and dense spiritual energy.
• Tu Jiao and the others learned from an elderly man that the Nangong Family was heading to the Grand Treasure Exhibition, a major event hosted by four merchant associations.
• Lu Changsheng's group changed their plans, traveled to the exhibition in the north of the city, and paid the entrance fee.
• Rui'er and the others toured the exhibition and saw treasures including the Five-Bird Divine Fire Fan, Nine Revolutions Golden Pill, Nine Heavens Profound Gold, and Five Elements Spirit Pearl.
• Lu Changsheng gained ideas for improving his Thunder Emperor Sword and controlling his elemental powers, while Tu Jiao, Rui'er, and Qing He assessed treasures and observed the gathered factions.

Lu Changsheng's group explored the Trading Area and exchanged for treasures that suited their cultivation. They left with Tu Jiao's new Primordial Treasure Armor and two ancient fifth-grade Spirit Array scrolls, while Lu Changsheng still coveted the Illusory Azure Gang Thunder on display.

• Lu Changsheng spotted the Illusory Azure Gang Thunder, recognized its potential for his lightning techniques, and learned that it was not for sale.
• The group entered the Trading Area and examined rare goods, including a Longevity Fruit, a Universe Wind-Calming Bead, a Five-Colored Divine Stone, and a mysterious Chaos Green Lotus.
• Tu Jiao traded her Spirit Concealing Cloak to the old vendor for a Primordial Treasure Armor that resonated with her Primordial Hegemon Body.
• Rui'er found a genuine fifth-grade Nine Bends Yellow River Array Diagram, which Qing He obtained for her by trading ten Life-Generating Creation Pills.
• Lu Changsheng exchanged the Great Sun Tathagata Scripture for the Great Wheel Ming King Array scroll, and the group left with their strength increased and reason to guard their new treasures.

Shi Jingtian found a staff technique suited to him, and Lu Changsheng traded three drops of the Pill Beast’s blood for it. The Pill Beast’s appearance drew a crowd, and Nangong Li of the Nangong Family asked Lu Changsheng to sell it.

• Shi Jingtian discovered the Demonic Ape Sky-Splitting Staff, but the one-eyed stall owner demanded a treasure that could extend his lifespan, repair his foundation, or aid his comprehension.
• Tu Jiao proposed offering Pill Beast blood, and Lu Changsheng summoned the white fox Pill Beast from the Creation Devouring Heaven Cauldron.
• The Pill Beast’s fragrance revealed its value to the crowd, so Shi Jingtian and Tu Jiao stepped forward to protect it.
• Lu Changsheng offered three drops of the Pill Beast’s blood, which healed immediately, in exchange for the staff technique; the old man accepted and left with the blood.
• Nangong Li of the Nangong Family arrived with four Saint Heaven Realm ninth-level guards and asked Lu Changsheng to sell him the Pill Beast.

Nangong Li tried to buy the Pill Beast from Lu Changsheng’s group, then attacked them when they refused. Lu Changsheng and his companions defeated Nangong Li and his guards, but the Nangong Family’s retaliation threatened to turn the clash into a wider storm in Peerless City.

• Lu Changsheng refused Nangong Li’s increasingly lavish offer for the Pill Beast, and Nangong Li ordered his guards to surround the group when they tried to leave.
• Tu Jiao and Shi Jingtian rejected Nangong Li’s threats, prompting him to order his guards to attack while he targeted Lu Changsheng.
• Lu Changsheng activated the Thunder Tribulation Armor and used the Sea God Halberd to overpower Nangong Li, piercing his left shoulder with the fourth form of his halberd art.
• Shi Jingtian and Tu Jiao defeated Nangong Li’s four guards while Lu Changsheng wounded Nangong Li.
• Lu Changsheng warned that the Pill Beast belonged to his group, then left the exhibition with Tu Jiao and the others as Nangong Li remained injured and furious.

After humiliating Nangong Li at the Grand Treasure Exhibition, Lu Changsheng and his companions hid in an inn for three days before leaving Peerless City. Nangong Li tracked their departure and sent Shadow Guards to ambush them near Black Wind Ridge.

• Nangong Li ordered his guards to investigate Lu Changsheng's group and returned to the Nangong Family to seek help.
• At Guest Cloud Come Inn, Lu Changsheng's group discussed the danger from the Nangong Family and decided to lie low for three days before leaving the city.
• Tu Jiao studied the Primordial Treasure Armor, Shi Jingtian practiced Demonic Ape Splits the Sky, and Lu Changsheng and Rui'er studied their newly acquired array diagrams.
• After three days, Lu Changsheng and his companions disguised themselves, evaded possible followers, and left Peerless City by the eastern gate.
• An old man informed Nangong Li that the group had taken the northeast road, so Nangong Li ordered Shadow Guards to ambush them before they reached Black Wind Ridge.

Lu Changsheng and his companions were ambushed by Nangong Family Shadow Guards in Black Wind Ridge, then confronted by Nangong Li and two Martial Marquis elders. As the elders attacked, Lu Changsheng formed and hurled a Three-Colored Lightning Lotus at the purple-robed Third Elder, whose defenses and figure were swallowed by its destructive power.

• Lu Changsheng and his companions entered Black Wind Ridge, where hidden assassins attacked them from spatial shadows and wounded several of them.
• Rui'er urged Lu Changsheng to trap and reveal the attackers, and he used the Divine Cauldron Refining Heaven Array to expose and burn nearly all twelve Nangong Family Shadow Guards.
• Nangong Li arrived with two Martial Marquis elders and ordered them to capture Lu Changsheng and his companions alive and seize the Pill Beast.
• The Fifth Elder attacked Tu Jiao and Shi Jingtian while the Third Elder trapped Lu Changsheng with a giant purple spiritual-power hand.
• Lu Changsheng merged his three lightning origins into a Three-Colored Lightning Lotus and threw it at the Third Elder, whose defenses and body were swallowed by its destructive force.
