Chapter Summaries

Luo Tianshen and Lu Yuan cleared up the misunderstanding over the Patrol Team, and Luo Tianshen accepted Lu Yuan as family while proposing that Luo Li’s marriage wait until she obtained the clan inheritance. Recognizing Lu Yuan’s overwhelming strength and Luo Li’s choice, Luo Tianshen decided not to oppose their relationship.

• Luo Tianshen apologized to Lu Yuan for the misunderstanding and explained that he had feared making matters worse.
• Lu Yuan reassured Luo Tianshen, called him Luo Li’s grandfather, and said the misunderstanding did not need to make them enemies.
• Luo Tianshen addressed Lu Yuan as Xiao Yuan and proposed postponing the marriage until Luo Li obtained the Luo God Clan’s inheritance.
• Lu Yuan understood why the Patrol Team had doubted his identity and chose not to blame them further.
• Luo Tianshen recalled that Lu Yuan had killed many Earth Supremes outright and accepted that he lacked the power or right to stop him.
• Luo Tianshen decided to let Luo Li and Lu Yuan proceed with their relationship rather than risk another misunderstanding or conflict.

After Luo Tianshen acknowledged Lu Yuan as the genuine Lu Li’s husband, the Luo God Clan elders suspected the revelation was a scheme because Lu Yuan was only an Eighth Grade Supreme. Lu Yuan defended his right to protect Luo Li and knocked another elder unconscious, leaving the clan’s doubts unresolved.

• The Luo God Clan elders considered whether Luo Tianshen, Lu Yuan, Luo Li, and the Fourth Elder had staged events to secure Luo Tianshen’s authority and arrange Luo Li’s marriage.
• The elders doubted Lu Yuan because his Eighth Grade Supreme realm was not powerful enough to overcome their fears of the Blood God Clan and the Western Heaven Battle Emperor.
• A middle-aged Supreme elder questioned Lu Yuan’s harsh treatment of the Fourth Elder and argued that the elder had a right to reprimand Luo Li.
• Lu Yuan insisted that Luo Li was his girlfriend and that no one present had the right to reprimand her in front of him.
• Lu Yuan drew the Years Blade and knocked the questioning elder unconscious with its flat.

Lu Yuan used the Years Blade to subdue the Luo God Clan elders and establish his authority, convincing Luo Tianshen of his identity and bringing the confrontation to an end. With the hall quiet, Luo Li took over and offered her grandfather and the elders a way to accept Lu Yuan’s actions.

• Lu Yuan’s Years Blade hard-controlled the Luo God Clan elders, and his two strikes left them too intimidated to challenge him.
• Luo Tianshen accepted that Lu Yuan was Yan Di’s Junior Brother after experiencing the Years Blade’s control himself.
• Luo Tianshen surrendered, and the elders fell silent rather than question Lu Yuan’s identity.
• Lu Yuan signaled Luo Li to speak after confirming that no one objected.
• Luo Li apologized to Luo Tianshen and the elders, explaining that Lu Yuan reacted fiercely when people criticized those close to him.

Luo Li forced the Luo God Clan elders to accept her warning and let the dispute with Lu Yuan end without further humiliation. An urgent report then revealed that Xue Lingzi and three Earth Supremes had invaded from the Qian'an Empire, leaving the clan to decide how to respond.

• Luo Li offered the elders a way to admit their mistakes, and the hall let the Fourth Elder and another elder continue pretending to be unconscious.
• Luo Tianshen used the grand formation to teleport an urgent messenger into the hall.
• The messenger reported that Blood God Clan leader Xue Lingzi had led three Earth Supremes into the Qian'an Empire.
• The messenger said the resistance forces had been mostly destroyed and the territory up to Jiayun Fortress had fallen.
• The messenger delivered the commander’s request to retreat toward Heaven Thunder Cliff and make a stand rather than waste lives, urging the clan to decide quickly.

Luo Li explained why the Luo God Clan could not safely rescue its surrounded forces or use its usual countermeasures against the Blood God Clan. Lu Yuan analyzed the strategic options, but the death of the clan’s other Earth Supreme had left Luo Tianshen unable to protect both the front and the rear.

• A messenger reported that Blood God Clan forces had surrounded Luo God Clan troops, prompting the elders to debate whether to fight or negotiate.
• Luo Li brought Lu Yuan to his seat and explained that Luo Tianshen faced a costly rescue or a negotiated retreat.
• Lu Yuan reasoned that the Luo God Clan could normally raid the Blood God Clan’s rear to divide its forces and relieve the siege.
• Luo Li explained that the death of the Luo God Clan’s other Earth Supreme had made that strategy too dangerous, since the clan’s grand array could not be protected without him.
• Luo Li described how Xue Lingzi’s attack had severed the Luo God Clan’s ability to divide its forces and defend both ends of the battlefield.

The Luo God Clan debated whether to rescue the forces trapped at Heaven Thunder Cliff, weighing the danger to their lone Earth Supreme against the cost of abandoning loyal clansmen. Luo Li offered to go, and Lu Yuan abruptly volunteered to break the siege, leaving the elders stunned.

• The Second Elder argued that the Luo God Clan should follow its strategic plan and avoid a rescue that could endanger Luo Tianshen.
• The elders weighed the likely casualties and concluded that a rescue would risk the clan’s only Earth Supreme against the Blood God Clan’s stronger forces.
• Luo Tianshen decided the clan could not abandon troops who had followed orders and been surrounded, though he struggled to find a safe way to rescue them.
• Luo Li offered to go after seeing Luo Tianshen’s dilemma.
• Lu Yuan casually declared that he would break the siege, silencing the hall.

Xue Lingzi assessed the Blood God Clan’s siege of Heaven Thunder Cliff, whose Seven Revolutions Aurora Grand Array made it a formidable fortress. He ordered the clan to maintain the siege and focus on its wider campaign, while reflecting on the opportunities and strategic investments that had helped other clans grow.

• Xue Lingzi reviewed how Heaven Thunder Cliff’s array could hold off the Blood God Clan’s forces and told his commanders that taking the fortress was optional if they could keep it surrounded.
• The young officers reported the clan’s territorial gains, its suppression of rebellions, and its successful defense against Luo God Clan attacks.
• Xue Lingzi kept experienced Supremes and promising youths in the central army to stabilize the campaign and protect the clan’s future talent.
• Xue Lingzi considered how welcoming Ascenders and investing in allies could strengthen a clan, contrasting his approach with Luo Tianshen’s.
• Xue Lingzi privately envied the Nine-tailed Fox Clan’s rapid growth under Lu Yuan and Xiao Yan, then returned his attention to the siege of Heaven Thunder Cliff.

Xue Lingzi ordered the Blood God Clan’s forces to delay Luo God Clan reinforcements while avoiding a direct fight on the Luo River. At Heaven Thunder Cliff, Luo God Clan Supremes worried that the clan was trapped between the Blood God Clan and the Western Heaven Battle Emperor, and that sending their leader to help would leave the clan exposed.

• Xue Lingzi ordered the eastern, western, and northern fronts to hinder Luo God Clan reinforcements, allowing Xue He to withdraw if necessary and directing him to harass enemy supply lines.
• Xue Lingzi warned his commanders not to fight the Luo God Clan on the water and instructed them to prioritize defensive positions and trapping arrays.
• Xue Lingzi’s account explained how the Luo God Clan had fallen from dominance after Luo Cangqiong’s death and how the Western Heaven Battle Emperor’s rise had led the great clans to make sacrifices and concessions.
• A middle-aged Eighth Grade Supreme at Heaven Thunder Cliff caught the tingling rain and worried that the clan leader might not have received news of the crisis.
• The Supremes on the wall cursed the Blood God Clan and the Western Heaven Battle Emperor, fearing that the Luo God Clan’s leader would have to leave and expose the clan if he went to aid the southern line.

Lu Yuan observed the Blood God Clan's disciplined preparations around Heaven Thunder Cliff and considered how family ties shaped the strengths and flaws of clan-based legions. He was surprised that this bloodline-bound force maintained relatively good discipline, though he noted that absolute strength ultimately mattered most.

• Lu Yuan praised the Blood God Clan for setting checkpoints, building a stronghold, and arranging an Earth Supreme to relay information while besieging Heaven Thunder Cliff.
• Lu Yuan reflected that blood ties gave family legions loyalty and stability, since soldiers fought alongside relatives and clan rules discouraged betrayal.
• Lu Yuan considered how powerful ancestors could raise their descendants and expand their families, using the Maha Ancient Clan and Gu Yuan's branch as examples.
• Lu Yuan reasoned that family loyalty often led clan members to conceal one another's wrongdoings, weakening military discipline.
• Lu Yuan was surprised to see the Blood God Clan legion retain relatively good discipline despite being bound together by bloodline.

Lu Yuan and Luo Li attacked a Blood God Clan encampment without involving the Luo God Clan’s scarce forces, relying on Lu Yuan’s strength and the clan’s defensive line to contain the enemy. Lu Yuan killed the Blood God Clan’s Northern Garrison Legion commander, Xue He, and the battle began with the enemy’s leaders immobilized.

• Lu Yuan explained that the Luo God Clan could endure its current position without draining troops from other fronts, unlike the far more desperate Nine-tailed Fox Clan had been.
• Lu Yuan and Luo Li approached a Blood God Clan scout squad, and Lu Yuan crushed its members with Spatial Power after they demanded the password.
• Lu Yuan unleashed Spatial Severance toward the Blood God Clan encampment and drew his Years Blade as its Supremes rushed to confront him.
• Lu Yuan froze everyone except himself and Luo Li with his blade’s power, then killed Xue He, the Northern Garrison Legion commander and a Lower Earth Supreme.

Lu Yuan killed Xue He, leaving the Blood God Clan legion leaderless and in chaos. As its forces fled, formed arrays, or attacked, Lu Yuan crushed the Supremes who charged him and declared that he intended to slaughter them all.

• Lu Yuan obliterated Xue He, freezing the Blood God Clan’s forces in shock.
• The Blood God Clan commanders issued conflicting orders to evacuate, form Battle Arrays, or stand and fight, and the legion descended into chaos.
• The Blood God Clan’s subsidiary clans fled to preserve their own forces as the Supremes split between retreating, maintaining order, and attacking Lu Yuan.
• Lu Yuan dismissed the attackers’ chances against his strength and crushed several Supremes with Spatial Power.
• Lu Yuan said he had never intended to spare the Blood God Clan and that their attack gave him reason to slaughter them.

Lu Yuan slaughtered fleeing Blood God Clan forces and their allies with Spatial Power, killing Supremes and sweeping many weaker cultivators into the destruction. The chapter leaves him continuing to reduce the threat to the Luo God Clan while reflecting on the devastation the Blood God Clan had inflicted on the region.

• Some fleeing cultivators panicked and attacked Lu Yuan, but he anticipated their moves and dismissed their resistance.
• Lu Yuan killed a Blood God Clan Supreme with Spatial Power, and the attack shattered space across a thousand li, killing many nearby cultivators.
• The narration explained how Spatial Power amplified Supreme attacks and why Three Heaven Realm cultivators could not evade its vast reach.
• The chapter recounted how the Blood God Clan had exterminated the Qian'an Empire's imperial family and killed millions while undermining the Luo God Clan's control.
• Lu Yuan felt no pity for the Blood God Clan's dead, believing each Supreme he killed would ease pressure on the Luo God Clan's defenses.

Lu Yuan learned that Xue Lingzi had prepared to trap the Luo God Clan’s reinforcements around Heaven Thunder Cliff, then explained how his sudden breakthrough had disrupted the Blood God Clan’s plans. He prepared to coordinate an assault with the defenders while keeping his strongest trump card concealed, and left a captured Blood God Clan Supreme to die without anyone directly killing him.

• Lu Yuan questioned a captured Blood God Clan Supreme and confirmed Xue Lingzi had sealed off Heaven Thunder Cliff, prepared for reinforcements, and sent Spirit Array Masters to study its defenses.
• Luo Li asked why Xue Lingzi risked being caught in a pincer attack, and Lu Yuan explained the Blood God Clan’s strategic reasons for surrounding Heaven Thunder Cliff and securing its retreat routes.
• Luo Li realized Lu Yuan’s sudden arrival had deprived Xue Lingzi of time to respond, and Lu Yuan planned to coordinate with the defenders to destroy much of the Blood God Clan force.
• Lu Yuan kept One Qi Transforming into Three Purities concealed because he might need it against the Western Heaven Battle Emperor, whose intervention he expected if the conflict escalated.
• Lu Yuan sealed the captured Supreme’s spiritual energy and ordered the Luo God Clan’s Fifth Elder to prevent anyone from treating him, leaving him to die without anyone directly killing him.

Lu Yuan and Luo Li raced toward Heaven Thunder Cliff while the Luo God Clan Fifth Elder organized the encirclement and cleanup of the retreating Blood God Clan forces. The Luo God Clan army advanced with the upper hand, and the chapter ended with Lu Yuan and Luo Li entering the outer Heaven Thunder Mountain Range.

• The Luo God Clan Fifth Elder concluded that Lu Yuan was an Earth Supreme hiding his true cultivation and decided to follow his lead.
• Lu Yuan took Luo Li through space toward Heaven Thunder Cliff, while the Fifth Elder ordered the Supremes to search quickly and complete the encirclement.
• The Luo God Clan army advanced behind its Battle Array, overwhelming fleeing Blood God Clan forces and their allies.
• A white-haired Supreme and other elders discussed repaying the Bone God Clan and Force God Clan for their betrayal, while worrying that the Western Heaven Battle Emperor might intervene.
• Lu Yuan and Luo Li arrived in the outer area of the Heaven Thunder Mountain Range.

As the Blood God Clan steadily weakened the Heaven Thunder Cliff Array by shifting the Heaven Thunder Mountain Range’s geomagnetism, Lu Yuan and Luo Li discussed the array’s diminished strength and the limits of the Luo God Clan’s defenses. They left the situation unresolved, with the Luo God Clan unlikely to investigate the node Lu Yuan had restored because it was too close to the outer area.

• The Luo God Clan commander gathered just over thirty thousand legion soldiers at Heaven Thunder Cliff and left the Puppet Armies behind, while the Blood God Clan occupied the surrounding territory.
• Xue Lingzi’s forces kept the Luo God Clan under watch as the Blood God Clan’s Spirit Array Masters worked to shift the mountain range’s geomagnetism and weaken the Heaven Thunder Cliff Array.
• Lu Yuan examined the weakened array and explained that it had lost its ability to trap and kill Earth Supremes but could still withstand their attacks.
• Lu Yuan stood among the bodies of the Three Heaven Realm cultivators he had killed, while Luo Li observed that the array’s overseers should have noticed the local node returning to normal.
• Luo Li concluded that Heaven Thunder Cliff would not send a surprise attack down the mountain to investigate a node so close to the outer area.

Lu Yuan and Luo Li headed toward Heaven Thunder Cliff, where the Blood God Clan’s patriarch was likely besieged. Lu Yuan explained why indiscriminate curse-killing would risk provoking powerful clans and Heavenly Sovereigns, leaving their plan focused on avoiding unnecessary enemies.

• Lu Yuan proposed going to Heaven Thunder Cliff to find the Blood God Clan’s patriarch and possibly relieve the siege, and Luo Li agreed.
• Luo Li accepted that Lu Yuan was better equipped to judge the Blood God Clan’s deployment and chose not to interfere.
• Lu Yuan considered using Red Dust Threads to curse the Blood God Clan but rejected it because it could anger the Western Heaven Battle Emperor and other allied clans.
• Lu Yuan reasoned that marriage ties and bloodline descendants could make curse-killing provoke powerful clans seeking revenge.
• Lu Yuan concluded that even Heavenly Sovereign clans usually avoided escalating conflicts with stronger Heavenly Sovereigns, making indiscriminate retaliation an unnecessary risk.

Lu Yuan weighed the obstacles facing the Martial Realm, the Western Heaven Battle Emperor, and the Endless Fire Territory, then decided that his own close ties to Xiao Yan made adding enemies especially costly. Rather than use a curse-killing technique, he chose to strike directly at the Blood God Clan’s core.

• Lu Yuan considered how Xiao Yan’s actions to protect his allies had damaged the Endless Fire Territory’s standing with clans that might otherwise have joined it.
• Lu Yuan judged the Martial Realm’s development relatively manageable because it could rely on the Lin Family, the Sky Demon Mink Clan, and the Dao Sect.
• Lu Yuan assessed the Western Heaven Continent’s divided loyalties and recounted how the Western Heaven Battle Emperor had betrayed the Blood God Clan after it supported his rise.
• Lu Yuan recognized that his many connections to Xiao Yan and the Endless Fire Territory made further conflicts personally troubling, even though Xiao Yan himself would not be concerned.
• Lu Yuan rejected a curse-killing technique and plunged straight into the Blood God Clan’s core.

Lu Yuan arrived at Heaven Thunder Cliff as the Luo God Clan defenders prepared for reinforcements, then killed Xue Lingzi with a single slash that froze time and space. The Blood God Clan army was left facing a battlefield suddenly without its commander.

• The Luo God Clan defenders reported that the geomagnetic route had recovered enough for reinforcements to break through in about twenty minutes.
• Lu Yuan tore through space and appeared beside Xue Lingzi, startling both the Blood God Clan and the Luo God Clan defenders.
• Xue Lingzi warned Lu Yuan not to interfere in the conflict and invoked the Western Heaven Battle Emperor’s order.
• Lu Yuan rejected Xue Lingzi’s threat, froze time and space across the battlefield, and struck him down with one slash.
• Time resumed, and Xue Lingzi’s body crumbled into dust as the battlefield fell silent.

After Lu Yuan killed Xue Lingzi, the Blood God Clan’s Puppet Army panicked and broke formation, giving the Luo God Clan defenders at Heaven Thunder Cliff a chance to counterattack. The defenders opened their grand formation and charged out while the rest remained to guard it.

• The chapter explained how the Extraterrestrial Evil God Race ranked and assassinated Human Race geniuses, and contrasted the Human Race’s vast numbers with the Beast Race’s bloodline inheritance.
• Lu Yuan’s effortless slaying of High-Rank Earth Supreme Xue Lingzi left the Blood God Clan without an Earth Supreme on the battlefield to oppose him.
• The Puppet Army lost its confidence after Xue Lingzi’s death, and more than ten thousand troops fled as its Battle Array collapsed.
• The Blood God Clan’s disorder spread confusion among its own squads, while the Luo God Clan defenders realized their reinforcements had arrived.
• At Heaven Thunder Cliff, the Eighth Grade Supreme ordered the grand formation opened and led more than ten thousand defenders in a counterattack.

Lu Yuan and Luo Li arrived at Heaven Thunder Cliff, where Luo Cang recognized Luo Li and learned Lu Yuan had come to aid the Luo God Clan. With Lu Yuan promising to eliminate the enemy Supremes, Luo Cang resumed command and joined the encirclement of the Blood God Clan and its allies.

• Lu Yuan ordered that none of the enemies be left alive as Luo God Clan defenders charged out from their formation.
• Luo Cang recognized Luo Li, greeted her and Lu Yuan, and learned Lu Yuan had come to help the Luo God Clan.
• Lu Yuan told Luo Cang that reinforcements were advancing and offered to handle enemy Supremes so Luo Cang could complete an encirclement.
• Luo Cang accepted the plan, returned to the battlefield, and led his troops into the encirclement.
• Lu Yuan repeatedly crushed Blood God Clan and allied Supremes with casual blows as the battle continued.
