Chapter Summaries

Feng Wu tested his powerful new Flame Burst technique, then returned to seclusion to break through to the Great Dou Shi realm. As his breakthrough proceeded far more smoothly than expected, he began to suspect something was wrong.

• Feng Wu unleashed ten Spiral Force swords, creating devastating explosions that shocked Chang Hu and the others.
• Little Fairy Doctor watched Feng Wu’s display, felt her own strength was falling behind, and returned to refining and swallowing poison.

• Feng Wu consumed the remaining Symbiotic Purple Crystal Source and a Foundation Establishment Pill as his breakthrough began.
• Feng Wu’s aura steadily rose without the severe pain he had expected, leaving him worried that something was amiss.

Feng Wu completed a smooth breakthrough to One-Star Great Dou Shi, while Little Fairy Doctor stayed awake guarding him. After he invited her into the cave to sleep before helping her with a painful procedure, she misunderstood his intentions and reminded him of their agreement to go no further until her Woeful Poison Body was resolved.

• Feng Wu reflected that his breakthrough was less painful because his foundation was already nearly perfect, and he accepted the smaller gains as a good sign.
• Little Fairy Doctor guarded Feng Wu's cave through the night as he continued his breakthrough.
• At dawn, Feng Wu's aura surged, startling Little Fairy Doctor, Chang Hu, and the others before it receded.
• Feng Wu emerged as a One-Star Great Dou Shi and told the exhausted Little Fairy Doctor to come inside and sleep.
• Little Fairy Doctor misunderstood Feng Wu's offer and entered the cave expecting affection, but Feng Wu told her to rest before a painful procedure.
• Little Fairy Doctor blushed and reminded Feng Wu that they had agreed not to go further until her Woeful Poison Body was resolved.

Feng Wu prepared to suppress the Little Fairy Doctor’s Woeful Poison Body by exploiting the peak of the day’s yang energy. He began the treatment by connecting their meridians, but the clash between his Heavenly Flame and her poison caused a painful backlash.

• Feng Wu explained that he meant to help restrain the Little Fairy Doctor’s Woeful Poison Body, then gave her a calming pill so she could rest before the treatment.
• Near noon, Feng Wu summoned two Puppets to guard the cave entrance and told the Little Fairy Doctor to remove her clothes for the procedure.
• The Little Fairy Doctor reluctantly undressed, and Feng Wu guided her into a seated posture and instructed her to circulate the Seven-Colored Poison Scripture while gathering her toxins.
• Feng Wu drew the Little Fairy Doctor into his lap and connected their palms and meridians, using his Heavenly Flame to hold back her poisonous dou qi.
• The Little Fairy Doctor’s Woeful Poison Body reacted violently to the Heavenly Flame, clashing with it and causing her to suffer a painful backlash.

Feng Wu began treating Little Fairy Doctor’s Woeful Poison Body by channeling Heavenly Flame battle qi through their clasped palms, then used Soul Power to inspect her body and prepare for the procedure. Little Fairy Doctor struggled to lower her guard as Feng Wu’s soul enveloped her, leaving the treatment poised to continue.

• Feng Wu channeled Heavenly Flame battle qi through his palm into Little Fairy Doctor’s, triggering a painful backlash from her Woeful Poison Body.
• Feng Wu told Little Fairy Doctor to release her Soul Power and let him merge with it so he could adjust her body and control her power during the treatment.
• Little Fairy Doctor misunderstood the soul merging as an intimate act, but Feng Wu explained that it was necessary to make the procedure safer.
• Little Fairy Doctor closed her eyes and tried to lower her guard as Feng Wu enveloped her with his Soul Power.
• Feng Wu swallowed a Mind Calming Pill after receiving an overwhelming full-body image through his Soul Power, while Little Fairy Doctor instinctively tried to shield herself.

Feng Wu and Little Fairy Doctor merged their souls so he could treat her Woeful Poison Body at noon, when the timing strengthened his Heavenly Flame and weakened her poison. The treatment triggered a dangerous eruption, but Feng Wu suppressed it, leaving the poison’s backlash contained and the next stage of treatment ahead.

• Feng Wu waited until Little Fairy Doctor’s soul defenses faded, then merged his Soul Power with hers and gained partial influence over her body.
• Mercenaries gathered outside the cave to listen to their cries until Chang Hu drove them away.
• At noon, Feng Wu sent Heavenly Flame-infused Dou Qi through their joined hands and into Little Fairy Doctor to begin the treatment.
• Little Fairy Doctor’s Woeful Poison Body erupted, corroding the bed and clothes and sending poisonous Dou Qi into Feng Wu.
• Feng Wu used the favorable timing and his Heavenly Flame to suppress the poison and contain the backlash, then watched the eruption subside.

Feng Wu purified Little Fairy Doctor’s Dou Qi and helped her establish a pair of volcanic barriers around her Dou Crystal, using a Sub-fire from his Peach Blossom Fire to hold back the Woeful Poison Body. He withdrew his power once the barriers were formed, leaving Little Fairy Doctor to face the poison’s sudden backlash on her own.

• Feng Wu confined most of Little Fairy Doctor’s poison energy and purified her Dou Crystal until its Dou Qi was faint cyan.
• Feng Wu taught Little Fairy Doctor the Volcano Skill and helped her imprint and control a Sub-fire from Peach Blossom Fire.
• Little Fairy Doctor constructed a volcanic phantom around her Dou Crystal, while Feng Wu formed an outer barrier to shield her from the poison energy.
• Feng Wu estimated that the barriers could delay damage to Little Fairy Doctor’s origin by two or three years.
• Feng Wu withdrew his Soul Power, Dou Qi, and Heavenly Flame from Little Fairy Doctor, and the suppressed toxins surged toward her Dantian.

Little Fairy Doctor succeeded in treating her Poison Master constitution with Feng Wu’s help, and the two became intimate afterward. Feng Wu then pulled Chang Hu into the cave to treat him as well, leaving the mercenaries outside alarmed by the noises.

• Little Fairy Doctor survived a violent cultivation breakthrough and told Feng Wu that the treatment had succeeded.
• Little Fairy Doctor and Feng Wu embraced and kissed, then became intimate after their clothes were lost to the poison.
• Feng Wu opened the cave door and offered to treat the gathered mercenaries along with Little Fairy Doctor.
• Feng Wu dragged Chang Hu into the cave despite Chang Hu’s protests, while Little Fairy Doctor ordered the other mercenaries to stay.
• The mercenaries heard Chang Hu’s cries and moans from inside and wondered what Feng Wu was doing to him.

Feng Wu treated Chang Hu and the Chang Family Poison Masters, then prepared to leave for the border while Little Fairy Doctor chose to remain behind and grow stronger before traveling to the Chu Yun Empire. Feng Wu and Little Fairy Doctor agreed to meet again, and he warned her to stay out of the coming war between the Chu Yun Empire and the Gamma Empire.

• Feng Wu used the Amethyst Winged Lion King's beast flame to suppress Chang Hu's poison attribute and extend his lifespan.
• Chang Hu insisted that Feng Wu treat the other Poison Masters, and Feng Wu spent the night helping the dozen men while the Chang Family watched in alarm.
• The next morning, Feng Wu told Little Fairy Doctor he planned to head for the border and invited her to travel with him.
• Little Fairy Doctor declined, choosing to recover and process the medicinal ingredients she had taken from the Ten Thousand Medicines Hall before setting out for the Chu Yun Empire.
• Feng Wu offered to help if Little Fairy Doctor encountered trouble and warned her that the Chu Yun Empire would lose its war with the Gamma Empire.
• Little Fairy Doctor agreed to see Feng Wu off the next day, and Feng Wu carried her back into the cave.

Feng Wu left Little Fairy Doctor and traveled through the Magical Beast Mountain Range, choosing to investigate a deserted village after sensing something was wrong. He discovered the entire village had been slaughtered with crude poison, suggesting Poison Masters were responsible.

• Feng Wu said farewell to Little Fairy Doctor, who ordered her group to prepare to leave the Gamma Empire without him.
• Feng Wu killed a Rank 3 Magical Beast and used Ya Fei's map to choose a nearby village as a place to spend the night.
• Feng Wu flew toward the village but noticed that no one was outside and no cooking smoke or lights were visible.
• Feng Wu entered the village and found corpses throughout it, with no survivors or living animals.
• Feng Wu examined a corpse and recognized crude poison techniques, concluding that Poison Masters had likely attacked the village.

Feng Wu cremated the slaughtered villagers and waited for the Poison Masters responsible to return. When three Poison Masters approached, he confronted them from behind as they plotted to kill anyone they found.

• Feng Wu gathered the village’s corpses, cremated them in a pit, and waited nearby for the Poison Masters or other visitors.
• Luo Li and two Poison Masters came to investigate the fire at the village they had slaughtered.
• Luo Li urged his companions to kill anyone they found and spoke of abusing any surviving women.
• Feng Wu appeared behind Luo Li with a spear and challenged him to try killing with it.

Feng Wu captured and tortured Luo Li to uncover where the infiltrating Poison Masters were hiding, then followed his trail to the Founding Ancient Battlefield. After discovering the battlefield might hold a legendary Gamma Empire general’s remains, Feng Wu killed Luo Li and prepared to investigate.

• Feng Wu killed Luo Li’s two companions and forced Luo Li to beg for his life.
• Feng Wu recognized the poisonous stench in the blood and demanded information about the Chu Yun Empire’s infiltrators.
• Feng Wu maimed Luo Li and used Little Fairy Doctor’s fluorescent powder to expose his false directions.
• Luo Li led Feng Wu along the genuine trail, and they reached the Founding Ancient Battlefield.
• Feng Wu learned that a legendary general might be buried beneath the battlefield, then beheaded Luo Li.

Feng Wu sent the Ten Attendants Puppets to eliminate the Chu Yun Imperial Family’s force at the Ancient Battlefield, intending to kill all fifty-six before they could escape and threaten Gamma Empire civilians. After the puppets quickly killed nearly half the camp, the remaining Poison Masters noticed the attack, and Feng Wu realized another enemy was acting at the same time.

• Feng Wu deduced that the Chu Yun Imperial Family had sent the fifty-six survivors to the Ancient Battlefield as part of its effort to resist the sects controlling the empire.
• Feng Wu assessed the camp’s defenses and identified its leader as a two-star Dou Wang Poison Master.
• Feng Wu released the Ten Attendants Puppets and ordered them to silently assassinate the camp’s sentries and fighters.
• The puppets killed nearly half the force before the two-star Dou Wang noticed the missing sentries and called the survivors to assemble.
• Feng Wu realized another attacker must be acting alongside his puppets, since they had killed too quickly to account for the camp’s alarm.

Feng Wu’s attempt to quietly eliminate the Chu Yun Poison Masters was disrupted when three powerful Dou Wangs attacked them, while the Ancient Battlefield’s materialized Killing Intent countered attacks made against its ground. As the Poison Masters began to collapse, Feng Wu stayed hidden and tried to identify the attackers, and the Chu Yun Dou Wang realized his squad could not survive.

• The Poison Masters regrouped around their Dou Wang and used the Ancient Battlefield’s rebounding Killing Intent to hinder Feng Wu’s Ten Attendants Puppets.
• Feng Wu watched three Dou Wangs tear through the Poison Masters, including a military commander with a spear and two brutal hammer-wielders.
• Feng Wu stayed concealed because he could not tell what the three attackers wanted, though he suspected the spear-wielder was a Gamma border commander.
• The Chu Yun Dou Wang questioned why Gamma’s intelligence had reported only one border commander as his squad’s defenses collapsed.

Mu Chen revealed his identity as the Gamma Empire’s Great General and appealed to the hidden Feng Wu for help as the Azure Winged Bat King tried to escape. Feng Wu decided to intervene early, while the Ten Attendants kept the Bat King and two fleeing Dou Lings from getting away.

• The Azure Winged Bat King ordered the Chu Yun Poison Masters to charge, then used his wings to flee while they fought the three Dou Wangs.
• The Ten Attendants blocked the Bat King, who discovered they were Puppets after denting Zhang Rang’s head with his Poison Staff.
• Mu Chen identified himself as the Gamma Empire’s Great General and Clan Head of the Mu Family, and asked the hidden expert to help stop the Bat King.
• The Bat King challenged Mu Chen’s claim that another expert was present, while layering Dou Qi Armor over himself in case the claim was true.
• Feng Wu recognized Mu Chen’s words as a dangerous blunder and decided to make a move ahead of time.

Feng Wu joined Mu Chen and the other Dou Wangs in confronting the Azure Winged Bat King, then used the Ancient Battlefield’s Killing Intent to amplify his attacks. The Bat King tried to flee after Feng Wu’s flames destroyed two Poison Masters, and Feng Wu revealed a power that seemed comparable to a Dou Emperor’s.

• Feng Wu abandoned his ambush plan and charged the Azure Winged Bat King with his Fire Tipped Spear.
• The Azure Winged Bat King cautiously tested Feng Wu, but Feng Wu unleashed sixteen pillars of fire with Earth Spring Impact and blocked his path.
• Feng Wu’s pink and purple flames struck the two fleeing Dou Ling Poison Masters, vaporizing them in twin explosions.
• Mu Chen mistook the blast for a Dou Emperor-level attack, while Feng Wu realized the Ancient Battlefield’s Killing Intent had magnified his Flame Burst.
• The Azure Winged Bat King recognized Feng Wu’s Heavenly Flame and fled upward, but Feng Wu prepared to stop him.

Feng Wu used his battlefield-enhanced power and aerial speed to trap the Azure Winged Bat King, whose attempted escape turned into a desperate counterattack. After two Fire Meteors engulfed the Bat King in fire clouds, Feng Wu launched five pairs of Flame Burst flames into them to ensure the kill.

• Feng Wu used Earth Spring Impact to bend a wall of fire over the Azure Winged Bat King and block his escape into the sky.
• The Azure Winged Bat King avoided the fire wall and flew toward Mu Chen and the other two Dou Wangs, but Feng Wu dived after him with his Purple Cloud Wings and Fire Tipped Spear.
• Feng Wu combined Flame Burst with Fire Meteor and sent purple and pink meteors after the Azure Winged Bat King.
• The Azure Winged Bat King shattered the purple meteor with his Poison Staff, then turned to defend against the pink meteor as it struck him from behind.
• Feng Wu fired five pairs of Flame Burst flames into the two fire clouds surrounding the Azure Winged Bat King.

Feng Wu killed the Azure Winged Bat King and prepared to face Mu Chen and the two hammer-wielding brothers, but Mu Chen chose to appease him instead. Mu Chen offered to guide Feng Wu through the ruins, claiming that his great-great-great grandfather was buried there.

• Feng Wu sent two errant flames toward Mu Chen and the two brothers, and their explosion blasted the three away with minor injuries.
• Feng Wu’s attacks overwhelmed the Azure Winged Bat King, killing it in a much larger explosion.
• Feng Wu remained airborne as the Ten Attendants Puppets surrounded the battered Mu Chen and the two brothers.
• Mu Chen judged that Feng Wu had the advantage on the battlefield and dropped his hostility.
• Mu Chen offered to show Feng Wu around the ruins and said his great-great-great grandfather was buried there.

Feng Wu accepted Mu Chen’s offer to join the Gamma Empire’s border garrison after learning why Mu Chen and his companions had come to the Ancient Battlefield. The chapter left Feng Wu considering the ruins around Mu Bin’s grave as the inheritance of an eight-star Dou Emperor.

• Mu Chen showed Feng Wu a map and ancestral instructions explaining that the Ancient Battlefield held his great-great-great-grandfather Mu Bin’s grave, then offered Feng Wu a general’s post.
• Feng Wu agreed to join the border garrison, withdrew his Purple Cloud Wings, and landed beside Mu Chen.
• Mu Chen explained that he and Dong Wen and Dong Wu had come to suppress the Poison Masters after fighters led by the Azure Winged Bat King broke through the frontier.
• Feng Wu learned that Yan Shi, Feng Li, Dan Yang Gu He, and Yun Yun were away, and concluded that they had gone to the Snake-People Race to seek the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame.
• Mu Chen explained that Mu Bin had been an eight-star Dou Emperor whose deeds established the border and brought the Mu Family its inherited position as great generals.

Feng Wu learned that Mu Chen’s great-great-great grandfather had helped establish the Gamma Empire’s power and left an inheritance beneath the Ancient Battlefield. Mu Chen explained that his family could not claim it without meeting the ancestor’s exacting requirements, leaving Feng Wu intrigued by the inheritance’s connection to Killing Intent.

• Feng Wu praised Mu Chen’s great-great-great grandfather for defeating a Dou Zong while fighting an entire army.
• Mu Chen recalled the Gamma Empire’s former strength and described how his ancestor had slain powerful enemies from the Chu Yun Empire.
• Feng Wu wondered why Mu Chen’s family had never explored the inheritance, and Mu Chen said it required a Dou Spirit under eighteen who could defeat a Dou Wang across realms.
• Mu Chen explained that his family could also qualify by tempering Killing Intent, but his years of killing had not met the unknown standard.
• Mu Chen released his powerful Killing Intent, increasing Feng Wu’s interest in the inheritance beneath the Ancient Battlefield.

Mu Chen explained how to open his family’s ancestral ruins, and Feng Wu tried the talent test despite the poisonous, cutting Killing Intent. The test began shredding Feng Wu’s Dou Qi Armor, leaving him uncertain whether he qualified and considering detonating a Heavenly Flame to force the ruins open.

• Mu Chen said the ruins could open through accumulated murderous intent or Poison Master corpses, but the Mu Family’s decades of effort had failed.
• Mu Chen explained that a sufficiently powerful Dou Zong or high-level Dou Emperor could force the decaying ruins open.
• Mu Chen demonstrated the talent test by releasing Dou Qi into the earth, where his ancestor’s Divine Sense could judge his age and cultivation.
• Feng Wu copied the test, and the underground Killing Intent and poison rapidly consumed his Dou Qi Armor and wounded his arm.
• Feng Wu considered pulling out and detonating a Heavenly Flame to break open Mu Chen’s ancestral grave.
