Chapter Summaries

Wang Teng explained how his Three Flowers Jade Dew Pill could absorb medicinal potency and cultivate intelligence, and why its advance tempering by tribulation lightning made it exceptional. With the others supplying spiritual herbs, he fed the pill more ingredients and began preparing it to recover the two True God Level existences.

• Wang Teng explained that flawless pills with sufficient intelligence could absorb herbs, other pills, and energy from heaven and earth, then cultivate like martial artists.
• Wang Teng described how pill intelligence was rare, limited by an alchemist's attainment, and often required tribulation lightning; Ice True God confirmed that the universe rejected newly born intelligence.
• Luo Fu Te guessed that the pill's advance tempering by tribulation lightning had contributed to its intelligence, cutting off Wang Teng's attempt to reveal the detail himself.
• Old Man Ji and the others offered their spiritual herbs, and Wang Teng put them into the Medicine King Tribulation Heaven Furnace.
• Wang Teng refined the herbs and helped the Three Flowers Jade Dew Pill absorb their medicinal potency as a three-colored vortex of Primal Force gathered above the furnace.

Wang Teng restored the weakened Three Flowers Jade Dew Pill and split off two portions for Ice True God and the Mechanical Race True God, while the other powerhouses also took pills to recover. He sheltered the pill in his Chaos Star Region and then meditated himself, leaving the powerful beings grateful for his efforts.

• Wang Teng replenished the Three Flowers Jade Dew Pill with immortal matter and had it split off two pills for Ice True God and the Mechanical Race True God.

• Ice True God and the other powerful beings saw Wang Teng recover without taking a Three Flowers Jade Dew Pill and felt grateful for his consideration.
• Wang Teng absorbed the remaining Attribute Bubbles, gaining Thunder Element Starry Sky Source Power and Tribulation Lightning Power as his Primal Force recovered.

Wang Teng restored the group after the battle and found that Candle Demon Venerable and Starfall Venerable still had Darkness Power in their bodies. As Candle Demon Venerable agreed to let Wang Teng examine his soul, Wang Teng conceived of a way to make darkness purification available through machinery, leaving the others astonished.

• Wang Teng used pills to restore his Primal Force, and Old Man Ji, Candle Demon Venerable, Venerable Tian Yan, Tianlan Yuanhai Venerable, Luo Fu Te, and Starfall Venerable recovered as well.
• Candle Demon Venerable and Starfall Venerable said that Darkness Power remained in their bodies, while the others noticed that Starfall Venerable's mechanical body had also recovered from the pill.
• Wang Teng examined Candle Demon Venerable and said he could drive the Darkness Power from his body, then offered to inspect his soul as well.
• Old Man Ji warned Candle Demon Venerable that he did not want to become a sinner of the Light Universe, so Candle Demon Venerable agreed to Wang Teng's examination.
• Wang Teng realized he might integrate a method for purifying Darkness Corrupted into machinery, and Candle Demon Venerable and the others reacted with surprise.

• Wang Teng’s Holy Light Fire engulfed and burned away the Darkness Power, causing Candle Demon Venerable intense pain.

• Wang Teng burned away the Darkness Power in Candle Demon Venerable’s soul, enduringly inflicting pain while collecting Soul Essence and Candle Dragon Demon Intent.
• Candle Demon Venerable realized the remaining Darkness Power could cause him to become Darkness Corrupted again and urged Wang Teng to purify every trace.
• Wang Teng reached the dark Flame Lava Lake at the center of Candle Demon Venerable’s soul world and asked him to release the Soul Secret Technique’s restrictions.
• Candle Demon Venerable agreed without hesitation, revealing a fire-element restriction formation and opening a gateway into his Soul Secret Technique.
• Wang Teng rushed through the gateway, eager to inspect Candle Demon Venerable’s technique, leaving Candle Demon Venerable startled by his enthusiasm.

Wang Teng entered Candle Demon Venerable’s soul core and resisted its scorching heat and Mad Devil Intent with Holy Light Fire and Thunder Tribulation Heavenly Might. He absorbed insights that strengthened his Candle Dragon Demon Intent and revealed the Candle Dragon Demon Transformation Soul Secret Technique, then realized its Candle Dragon form was built from the Zhu Long Clan’s Source Markings.

Wang Teng resisted the Mad Devil Intent in Candle Demon Venerable’s soul world and used Holy Light Fire to purify hidden Darkness Power while collecting Candle Dragon attributes and Soul Secret Technique markings. As he reached the restriction’s center, a two-headed Candle Dragon surged from the magma, startling both Wang Teng and Candle Demon Venerable.

• Wang Teng compared the Candle Dragon Race’s Source Markings with those of the Ice Dragon Clan and pieced together a strange blended dragon form.
• Wang Teng searched Candle Demon Venerable’s soul world with Soul Power, light-element perception, and the True Sight Eye, then burned away concealed Darkness Power with Holy Light Fire.
• Wang Teng collected Candle Dragon Demon Intent and Soul Secret Technique attributes while deliberately burning some areas to expose the restriction’s markings and complete his own incomplete technique.
• Candle Demon Venerable questioned why Wang Teng was burning areas without Darkness Power, but accepted Wang Teng’s explanation that he wanted to ensure the purification was thorough.
• Wang Teng directed the Holy Light Fire toward the restriction’s center, where a huge, crazed, two-headed Candle Dragon burst from the fiery magma.

Wang Teng confronted the Two-Headed Candle Dragon, a remnant of Demonic Intent hidden in Candle Demon Venerable’s soul, and found that Holy Light Fire alone could not easily purify its Darkness Power. As he weighed whether to preserve the Demon Thoughts, he showed Candle Demon Venerable how they might be refined into his consciousness and used to control his second head.

• Wang Teng and Candle Demon Venerable discovered a Two-Headed Candle Dragon concealed in the core of Candle Demon Venerable’s soul world, and Wang Teng identified it as the surviving Demonic Intent.
• Wang Teng attacked the Two-Headed Candle Dragon with Holy Light Fire, but their powers clashed and the dragon’s Darkness Power proved difficult to purify.
• Wang Teng warned Candle Demon Venerable that he might have to damage his Soul Body and explained that he could either erase the Demon Thoughts or try to preserve them while purifying the Darkness Power.
• Candle Demon Venerable asked what benefit preserving the Demon Thoughts might have, and Wang Teng suggested they could control Candle Demon Venerable’s second head.
• Wang Teng explained that the Demon Thoughts originated from Candle Demon Venerable’s own Mad Devil Intent and could potentially be refined into his consciousness, prompting Candle Demon Venerable to grasp the idea.

Wang Teng activated his Light Source talents and began purifying the Darkness Power remaining in Candle Demon Venerable, while the other experts discussed the danger and Starfall Venerable recounted how Wang Teng had helped him escape a Demon God Level being. The purification began with Wang Teng summoning the Hangguang Tree and unleashing Holy Light Purification upon the Two-Headed Candle Dragon.

• Candle Demon Venerable chose to retain his Demon Thoughts and accepted the risk that some Darkness Power might remain.
• Wang Teng activated his Light Saint Body, Water Light Saint Body, and God Level Light Talent to prepare for the purification.
• Starfall Venerable explained that a Bone Spirit Race Upper Demon Venerable Level Darkness Breed had served as a medium for a Demon God Level being to corrupt him.
• Starfall Venerable revealed that Wang Teng had been the main force in freeing him from the Demon God Level being's Soul Secret Technique.
• Wang Teng summoned the Hangguang Tree and used Holy Light Purification on the Two-Headed Candle Dragon, which roared and thrashed in the soul world.

Wang Teng used his Water Light Saint Body and two strange fires to battle the self-aware Two-Headed Candle Dragon in Candle Demon Venerable’s soul world. He harvested its attributes while realizing the Demon Thoughts were guarding the core of the Candle Dragon Demon Transformation Soul Secret Technique.

• Wang Teng’s Holy Light Purification and Holy Light Fire corroded and attacked the Two-Headed Candle Dragon, but it drew on the surrounding Darkness Power and lava to grow stronger.
• Wang Teng and Candle Demon Venerable realized the Two-Headed Candle Dragon possessed a strong consciousness, and Candle Demon Venerable grew furious when it mocked him.
• Wang Teng summoned the Ten Thousand Beasts True Spirit Flame, which took the form of a Black Tortoise and joined the Holy Light Fire in a two-against-one assault.
• Wang Teng collected Darkness and Fire Source Power, Soul Essence, Candle Dragon Demon Intent, and Candle Dragon Demon Transformation Soul Secret Technique attributes from the battle.
• Wang Teng noticed the Two-Headed Candle Dragon had appeared when he approached the secret technique’s core and suspected it was guarding the insights he still lacked.

Wang Teng kept the Two-Headed Candle Dragon occupied while secretly entering Candle Demon Venerable’s Soul Secret Technique Core to search for a hidden problem. He found the core’s formidable defenses and began understanding the technique, but the final portion proved much harder to complete.

• Wang Teng asked Candle Demon Venerable to inspect the Secret Technique Core Area, but Candle Demon Venerable found no problem despite repeated checks.
• Wang Teng deduced that the weakened Two-Headed Candle Dragon had lost most of its power in an earlier battle and sent a concealed wisp of Soul Power toward the core while his two strange fires fought it.
• Wang Teng used his Candle Dragon Demon Intent and careful concealment to navigate the fiery molten lava and avoid dangerous Soul Secret Technique runes.
• Wang Teng used the Myriad Manifestations Soul Control Secret Technique to disguise his wisp of Soul Power as Candle Dragon Demon Flame, then slipped it past the core’s invisible barrier and the Candle Dragon phantoms.
• Wang Teng examined the core and gained insights that raised his understanding of the Candle Dragon Demon Transformation Soul Secret Technique above eighty percent, but progress on the remaining portion became far more difficult.

Wang Teng searched Candle Demon Venerable’s Soul Secret Technique Core Area while the Heaven and Earth Strange Fires battled the Two-Headed Candle Dragon. After the Ten Thousand Beasts True Spirit Flame escaped the Darkness Power by taking the form of the Black Lion Heaven Burning Flame, Wang Teng reconsidered where the hidden Darkness Power might be and began examining the Candle Dragon phantoms.

• Wang Teng hit a limit in comprehending the Soul Secret Technique and considered refining the Heavenly Soul Saint Root to improve his intelligence and comprehension.
• Wang Teng searched the Secret Technique Core Area but found no trace of Darkness Power, while the Holy Light Fire and Ten Thousand Beasts True Spirit Flame fought the Two-Headed Candle Dragon outside it.
• The Two-Headed Candle Dragon engulfed the Ten Thousand Beasts True Spirit Flame in Darkness Power, but the flame emerged as a flaming lion using the Black Lion Heaven Burning Flame’s power form.
• Wang Teng had the Holy Light Fire take its Qilin-like true form and send Light Power against the Darkness Power, renewing their stalemate.
• Wang Teng suspected the Darkness Power might be hidden within the Candle Dragon phantoms and began inspecting them with his True Sight Eye.

Wang Teng searched Candle Demon Venerable’s Soul Secret Technique for hidden darkness power and finally detected it concealed in a Candle Dragon’s eyes. He left the demonized Candle Dragon exposed to his gaze, and it fled in alarm.

• Wang Teng inspected and marked thousands of moving Candle Dragons while searching for the hidden power in Candle Demon Venerable’s soul technique.
• Wang Teng noticed one Candle Dragon dodge his inspection, change size, and blend into the others, so he tracked it with Soul Power.
• Wang Teng combined the Candle Dragon Demon Eye with the True Sight Eye and discovered that both talents could operate independently, giving him Double Pupils.
• Wang Teng detected the Demon Dragon’s hidden aura inside the Candle Dragon’s eyes and realized the dragon had been concealing darkness power.
• The Candle Dragon sensed Wang Teng’s malice and hurried toward the fiery magma in an attempt to escape.

Wang Teng tracked the hidden Demon Dragon as it transferred its consciousness between Candle Dragons, then discovered its true form and realized the Two-Headed Candle Dragon had developed two independent consciousnesses. He left the Demon Dragon’s Darkness Soul uncaptured while considering how to contain it without Candle Demon Venerable noticing.

• Wang Teng used the Candle Dragon Demon Eye and True Sight Eye to probe a Candle Dragon, which sensed his malice but could not locate him.
• The Demon Dragon fled through the magma and transferred its Black Light into another Candle Dragon, while Wang Teng followed and monitored each transfer.
• Wang Teng saw that the Black Light’s true form was a dark Two-Headed Candle Dragon and considered how to counter its Fire, Darkness, and Mad Devil powers.
• Wang Teng realized Darkness Corruption had awakened separate consciousnesses in the Two-Headed Candle Dragon’s two heads, creating the Darkness Soul within the Black Light and the Mad Devil Soul outside.

Wang Teng realized the demonic dragon’s Darkness Soul still retained Mad Devil Intent and devised a new cage technique to capture it. After repeated failures fusing the Frost Domain with his Thunder Tribulation Prison Domain, he recognized that the Shadow Domain could help buffer their clashing powers.

• Wang Teng understood that the Two-Headed Candle Dragon had two separate consciousnesses and decided to preserve the Mad Devil Soul for Candle Demon Venerable while claiming the demonic dragon for himself.
• Wang Teng realized that his Yin God Cage could not adequately restrain the demonic dragon’s powerful Darkness Soul, so he decided to create a stronger trapping method.
• Wang Teng transformed the Thunder Tribulation Domain into a Thunder Tribulation Prison Domain and fused it with the auxiliary powers used in the Yin God Cage.
• Wang Teng repeatedly failed to fuse the Ninth Order Fusion Realm Frost Domain with the Thunder Tribulation Prison Domain, as their powers clashed.
• Wang Teng recognized that Shadow Force could conceal and buffer the conflicting domains, giving him a possible path toward completing the fusion.

Wang Teng created the Yin God Chill Tribulation Prison and used it to trap the Darkness Soul before pulling it into his Devouring Space. Candle Demon Venerable sensed Wang Teng’s Soul Power in the core of his Soul Secret Technique and was left confused by his sudden appearance.

• Wang Teng fused the Shadow Domain with Frost Domain and the other powers, creating the Fifth Order Fusion Realm Yin God Chill Tribulation Prison.
• Wang Teng disrupted the Darkness Soul’s escape attempts with deceptive bursts of malicious intent and waited for it to pause.
• Wang Teng trapped the Darkness Soul in the concealed Yin God Chill Tribulation Prison, then unleashed three types of Purple Extreme Heavenly Lightning and Extreme Chill Abyssal Dragon Ice.
• Wang Teng pulled the stunned Darkness Soul into his Devouring Space before Candle Demon Venerable’s Soul Power could intervene.
• Candle Demon Venerable sensed Wang Teng’s Soul Power inside his Soul Secret Technique and sent an uncertain voice transmission asking if it was Wang Teng.

Wang Teng secretly captured the Darkness Soul inside Candle Demon Venerable’s Soul Secret Technique, then turned to face the Two-Headed Candle Dragon. He countered its Urgent Flame Demon Dragon Saber with his newly created Three-Color Divine Light, leaving the dragon’s attack shattered.

• Wang Teng told Candle Demon Venerable that he had found and dealt with the demon dragon’s Darkness Origin Power, concealing that he had captured the Darkness Soul.
• Wang Teng left the Soul Secret Technique Core Area and prepared to finish the Two-Headed Candle Dragon, while Candle Demon Venerable followed and checked the area again.
• The Two-Headed Candle Dragon sensed the Darkness Soul’s disappearance, tried to flee, and formed two dark-red Saber Lights with the Urgent Flame Demon Dragon Saber.
• Wang Teng combined power from the Holy Light Fire, Ten Thousand Beasts True Spirit Flame, and Starlight Yuanming Holy Water to unleash the Three-Color Divine Light.
• Wang Teng’s Three-Color Divine Light struck and shattered both Saber Lights, purifying their Darkness Power and crushing their mad demon and fire power.

Wang Teng defeated the Two-Headed Candle Dragon with his Three-Color Divine Light and seemed to erase the Mad Devil Soul, but the soul escaped the purifying attack. Wang Teng then trapped it in a prepared cage, leaving Candle Demon Venerable astonished that he had planned to capture it all along.

• Wang Teng's Three-Color Divine Light overwhelmed the Two-Headed Candle Dragon's Urgent Flame Demon Dragon Saber and trapped the dragon between two strange-fire beasts.
• The Three-Color Divine Light cleaved the Two-Headed Candle Dragon apart and purified the energy left by its collapse, making Candle Demon Venerable believe the Mad Devil Soul had been erased.
• A dark crimson streak escaped the radiance, and Wang Teng calmly assured Candle Demon Venerable that it could not get away.
• Wang Teng's lightning-tribulation-and-ice cage appeared around the streak, bounced it back, and revealed the surviving Two-Headed Candle Dragon and its Mad Devil Intent.
• Candle Demon Venerable realized Wang Teng had intended to capture the Mad Devil Soul all along and examined the cage's unusual powers.

Wang Teng subdued the Mad Devil Soul and collected the Attribute Bubbles left by the clash, while Candle Demon Venerable entered enlightenment after the darkness was purified from his soul world. Wang Teng completed the Candle Dragon Demon Transformation Soul Secret Technique and saw how quickly the Two-Headed Candle Dragon's growth-type saber skill had advanced.

• Candle Demon Venerable recognized Wang Teng's Shadow Force and other rare powers, then resolved to strengthen their friendship as he realized Wang Teng had True God Level potential.
• The Three-Color Divine Light purified the Darkness Power in Candle Demon Venerable's soul world, giving him a rare moment of clarity and sending him into enlightenment.
• Wang Teng stored the still-resisting Mad Devil Soul in his Devouring Space, then collected the Attribute Bubbles dropped during the battle.
• Wang Teng absorbed the attributes, raising Candle Dragon Demon Intent to 40,700 points and completing the Candle Dragon Demon Transformation Soul Secret Technique at the Proficient level.
• Wang Teng saw that the Urgent Flame Demon Dragon Saber had reached 13,000 points and worried that the Two-Headed Candle Dragon would have become dangerous if given more time to grow.

Wang Teng purified Candle Demon Venerable’s soul, allowing him to gain insights while he recovered. As the group waited for orders to depart, Wang Teng asked Ice True God for part of an Ice Dragon’s remains to help Icestis restore her body, and she produced a huge skeleton.

• Wang Teng finished absorbing insights into the Urgent Flame Demon Dragon Saber and left Candle Demon Venerable’s soul world.
• Wang Teng told Old Man Ji, Venerable Tian Yan, and the others that Candle Demon Venerable’s Darkness Corruption had been resolved and explained that he had gained insights.
• The group discussed Candle Demon Venerable’s rare opportunity to comprehend, while Venerable Tian Yan expressed eagerness to fight him after he recovered.
• Ice True God said the group should wait for word from Coalition headquarters before departing for the Darkness Breed Lair, and Wang Teng said he had already recovered.
• Wang Teng asked Ice True God for leftover parts of an Ice Dragon’s body to help Icestis restore her body.
• Ice True God revealed an enormous skeleton in the void.
