Chapter Summaries

Wei Yang bargained with a blue-robed elder over a Snow Bone Ginseng and discovered an unknown drop of ancient essence blood that stirred his Life-Extinguishing Flame. The elder said its power had mostly faded, but Wei Yang quietly became excited by its lightning-and-fire attributes.

• Wei Yang offered the Azure Nether Flame for the Snow Bone Ginseng, and the blue-robed elder let him choose one additional item while requiring them to settle any difference in value.
• Wei Yang noticed that his Life-Extinguishing Flame reacted to a sealed jade bottle containing dark-red liquid on the Cold Jade Platform.
• The blue-robed elder said the liquid likely came from a high-tier Magical Beast and had been found in Ancient Ruins, but time had worn away nearly all its vitality and energy.
• The blue-robed elder let Wei Yang inspect the bottle and warned him not to break its seal because a faint trace of spirituality remained.
• Wei Yang recognized that the essence blood showed lightning-and-fire attributes and concealed his excitement from the others.

Wei Yang secretly left Holy Pill City with Ah Da and Unicorn to prepare for refining a Grade 8 Bone-Growing Blood-Melting Pill. He secured a hidden valley and began warming his cauldron, leaving the pill refinement underway.

• Wei Yang, Ah Da, and Unicorn used a secret spatial passage to leave the residence and traveled to a secluded valley in a Magical Beast Forest.

• The Black Demon Ape offered Unicorn its treasured medicinal wine, which Unicorn took to bring back for Wei Yang and Mistress.
• Wei Yang rested and reviewed the pill-refining methods before summoning the Myriad Beast Cauldron and beginning to warm it with Black Flame.

Wei Yang spent nearly ten days carefully extracting the medicinal essences needed for the Bone-Growing Blood-Melting Pill. With all the ingredients prepared, he rested and focused himself for the dangerous pill-condensation stage.

• Wei Yang extracted the Spring Spirit Fruit and gradually processed the auxiliary ingredients, preserving their essences in small Black Suns.

• Wei Yang slowly refined the Ten Thousand Year Azure Spirit Vine until only its melted tree-heart essence remained.
• Wei Yang burned down the Blood Essence Demonic Fruit and gathered its scarlet medicinal essence.
• After nearly ten days, Wei Yang finished extracting all the ingredients, kept the essences warming, and closed his eyes to prepare for Pill Condensation.

Wei Yang completed the Bone-Growing Blood-Melting Pill after ten days of careful condensation and infused it with his own spiritual energy to strengthen its spirituality. The pill’s completion unleashed a towering pillar of black flame, and Ah Da judged its fluctuations stronger than those of Wei Yang’s pill that had drawn Three-Colored Pill Lightning.

• Wei Yang used his Soul Power to guide the medicinal essences together and prevent their energy from dissipating during condensation.

• A towering pillar of black flame rose into the sky, and Ah Da said the pill’s fluctuations exceeded those of Wei Yang’s previous pill that had drawn Three-Colored Pill Lightning.

Wei Yang completed the Spirit Infusion for the Bone-Growing Blood-Melting Pill, drawing legendary Five-Colored Pill Lightning. With the pill’s survival at stake, he sent Life-Extinguishing Flame and Single-Horn to face the lightning, and the first strike began.

• The thundercloud gathered above the valley and developed azure, silver, red, and golden hues before purple light completed the Five-Colored Pill Lightning.
• Wei Yang relaxed after the Spirit Infusion but braced himself to preserve the pill from the destructive lightning.
• Ah Da summoned black gales while Wei Yang released Life-Extinguishing Flame, and Single-Horn charged skyward to join it.
• The Five-Colored Thunder Cloud unleashed a lightning bolt toward the medicinal cauldron, and Single-Horn met it with a punch that shattered the void.

Wei Yang and Ah Da oversaw Single-Horn and the Life-Extinguishing Flame enduring the Five-Colored Pill Lightning, while the Bone-Growing Blood-Melting Pill finished forming. The Life-Extinguishing Flame absorbed the Thunder Force and advanced, briefly appearing as a second sun over the Magical Beast Forest.

• Single-Horn and the Life-Extinguishing Flame endured nearly a hundred lightning bolts, using the Thunder Force to temper themselves while Ah Da shielded Wei Yang.
• After the pill lightning ended, Single-Horn's Ancient Bloodline grew stronger and his aura reached the peak of One-Star; Wei Yang sent him to refine the Thunder Force.
• The Life-Extinguishing Flame began advancing, so Wei Yang swallowed the Black Sun and sat down to help it digest the Thunder Force.
• Ah Da subdued the spiritual dragon formed by the Five-Colored Eighth Grade Bone-Growing Blood-Melting Pill, sealed the pill in a jade bottle, and guarded Wei Yang.
• The Life-Extinguishing Flame rose into the sky as a brilliant Black Sun, then withdrew its radiance and disappeared.

Wei Yang celebrated as the Life-Extinguishing Flame reached the Dou Zun tier, then began refining Bing He’s corpse so Ah Da could take it as a new body. Ah Da’s soul merged with the corpse, and Wei Yang began the crucial trial of burning it with the flame’s life-giving Green Flame.

• Ah Da swallowed the Bone-Growing Blood-Melting Pill and entered the prepared corpse, successfully merging his soul with it.
• Wei Yang changed the Life-Extinguishing Flame into its Green Flame form and began burning the body so Ah Da could endure the process and gain control of it.

Wei Yang used Heavenly Flames and the Bone-Growing Blood-Melting Pill to revive Ah Da in a new body, restoring him to Peak Six-star Dou Venerate and raising his soul to the Late Spirit Realm. Ah Da planned to recover further before attempting to refine the Nine Nether Wind Flame.

• Wei Yang used the Sea Heart Flame to repeatedly destroy and regenerate Ah Da's flesh until the Bone-Growing Blood-Melting Pill reshaped his body.
• Ah Da awakened in the body of a fifteen- or sixteen-year-old boy, and his powerful aura shook Stone Cliff Cave.
• Ah Da knelt to thank Wei Yang, then reported that he had recovered to Peak Six-star and expected to reach Seven-star after adapting.
• Wei Yang explained that a Fuling Green Pill could help Ah Da regain his former Nine-star peak, but he would need to ask Xiao Yan for its formula.
• Ah Da revealed that his soul had reached the Late Spirit Realm and reunited with the Nine Nether Wind Flame, but Wei Yang advised him to wait until he was stronger before refining it.
• Wei Yang led Ah Da out of the cave and told him to adapt to his body and recover to Seven-star first.

Ah Da tested his newly revived body by overpowering Single-Horn, then opened a Spatial Wormhole to return Wei Yang and the others to their residence. Xian'er and Qing Lin welcomed Ah Da and learned that he had reached Peak Six-star Dou Venerate strength and would soon recover to Seven-star.

• Wei Yang asked Single-Horn to test Ah Da's strength, and Ah Da repeatedly knocked him back in a one-sided fight.

• Wei Yang said Ah Da's revival would make their group safer in the Central Plains.

Wei Yang fused a recovered drop of peak Dou Venerate essence blood into his heart using the Deficiency Mending Secret Technique, enduring immense pain as he refined it into his bloodline. Outside the secret chamber, Xian'er and Qing Lin worried over him while concealing news they planned to share with him.

After merging with Hou’s essence blood, Wei Yang emerged with a dramatically changed appearance and vastly increased physical strength. He worried that his new bloodline would make it difficult to have children, then learned that Xian'er and Qing Lin were both already pregnant.

• Wei Yang learned that the essence blood came from Hou, an ancient demon whose bloodline he had made his own.

Qing Lin remained in seclusion attempting to reach Dou Venerate, while Wei Yang had reached Peak Dou Zong and awaited a chance to advance.

Wei Yang considered suitable Heavenly Flames for his newborn children, Wei Ye and Wei Shuo, while Xiao Yan arrived near Holy Pill City for the Pill Gathering and resolved to find Wei Yang and rescue Elder Yao. The chapter left Xiao Yan entering the Pill Region with Zi Yan missing and his hatred of Soul Hall still burning.
