Chapter Summaries

Long Aojiao defeated the Dragon Family’s top five sequence members and was offered the position of Goddess despite uncertainty about her bloodline. After admitting she had come intending to use the family against the Feather Clan, she refused their offer and prepared to confront the clan herself.

• Long Aojiao confessed that she had planned to use the Dragon Family to weaken the Feather Clan, but refused to deceive them after they treated her sincerely.
• The First Elder urged Long Aojiao to stay, grow stronger, and face the Feather Clan with the Dragon Family’s support, but Long Aojiao rejected the idea of waiting and owing favors.

Long Aojiao rejected the Dragon Family’s offer to join forces but accepted its intelligence and Divine Art, then pursued the Golden Crow Divine Son at Flame Mountain to reclaim her fearless nature. She killed him after breaking through to the Eighth Realm, but his Ninth Realm guardian recognized her as Long Aotian and used a Candle Dragon descendant’s hide to expose her disguise.

• Long Aojiao accepted the Dragon Family’s intelligence and Divine Art in exchange for helping its clan if needed, but refused to draw the family into her conflict with the Feather Clan.

• Long Aojiao forced her way through Flame Mountain’s dangers, found the Golden Crow Divine Son in the lava, and let his attacks help her break through to the third level of the Eighth Realm.
• Long Aojiao defeated and killed the Golden Crow Divine Son, while his guardian, a Ninth Realm peacock, failed to stop her and watched her drink the Golden Crow’s blood.
• The old peacock recognized Long Aojiao as Long Aotian from her God Emperor phantom, Boundless Divine Light, and fist techniques, then used a Candle Dragon descendant’s hide and special runes to expose her disguise.

Long Aojiao revealed herself as Long Aotian, killed the Golden Crow Divine Son and Old Peacock with the projected Overlord Divine Halberd, and escaped after eating Old Peacock. Lin Fan completed the Moon Embracing Sect’s relocation, but its celebration was interrupted by a procession of distinguished guests culminating in the personal arrival of the Myriad Flowers Holy Mother.

• Murong Pipa announced that the Myriad Flowers Holy Mother had come in person, shocking everyone at the sect.

The Myriad Flowers Holy Mother visited the Moon Embracing Sect and asked Lin Fan to reach the peak of the Ninth Realm so he could help with a secret matter tied to fate. When Lin Fan learned that the Hidden Soul Hall was hunting Qiu Yongqin and Ji Chutong, he began gathering allies to rescue them and confront the hall, then tried to persuade Ji Haoyue to join the campaign.

• Gu Xinglian attended the Moon Embracing Sect’s relocation ceremony, met privately with Lin Fan, and said she would need his help with a secret matter once he reached the peak of the Ninth Realm.
• More than a month later, Wu Xingyun warned Lin Fan that the Hidden Soul Hall was pursuing Li Feiyu, who was Qiu Yongqin, and a cultivator whose methods resembled Ji Chutong’s.
• Lin Fan contacted Ji Chutong and Qiu Yongqin, learned they had been separated while escaping an ambush, and ordered them to stay alive until reinforcements arrived.
• Lin Fan summoned the Great Demon God, Hai Dongpo, and Ji Haoyue to help attack the Hidden Soul Hall; the Great Demon God and Hai Dongpo agreed to join.
• Lin Fan and Lu Ming switched identities, but Ji Haoyue refused to fight until Lin Fan offered the Haoyue Lineage half the spoils and then warned that the Moon Embracing Sect might be destroyed without his help.

Lin Fan gathered Moon Embracing Sect’s allies and led them to rescue Qiu Yongqin and Ji Chutong from Hidden Soul Hall. After Ji Haoyue joined the fight and Xiao Ling’er saved Ji Chutong, Lin Fan secretly helped Qiu Yongqin unleash a devastating sword technique and promised to let him avenge Qiu Family Village himself.

• Lin Fan pressured Ji Haoyue into joining the rescue, and Ji Haoyue agreed to fight Hidden Soul Hall for Moon Embracing Sect.

• Lin Fan steadied Li Feiyu, revealed that he knew his true identity as Qiu Yongqin, and promised to take him to exact his own revenge.

Lin Fan led the Moon Embracing Sect and its allies into a war against the Hidden Soul Hall, while the sect’s attacks on its branch halls forced Vice Hall Master Luo Ling to order a retreat. The main battle began in the desert, where Ji Haoyue and Hai Dongpo faced the rival Vice Hall Masters as Xiao Ling’er and the other disciples fought the Hidden Soul Hall forces.

• Lin Fan healed Qiu Yongqin and took him toward the Hidden Soul Hall, while Ji Chutong insisted on joining the battle alongside Xiao Ling’er and Ji Haoyue.

• Vice Hall Masters Li Hun and Yin Juechen dismissed Luo Ling’s warnings and marched against the Moon Embracing Sect, while Luo Ling planned to wait for them to falter before intervening.
• After several Hidden Soul Hall branch halls came under attack, Luo Ling ordered their forces to withdraw to the main hall; Wang Teng then regrouped with Lin Fan instead of destroying the abandoned halls.
• Lin Fan gathered Hai Dongpo, Xiao Ling’er, Ji Chutong, and Ji Haoyue in the desert, where Li Hun fought Ji Haoyue and Yin Juechen confronted Hai Dongpo.
• Xiao Ling’er and the Moon Embracing Sect’s disciples fought the Hidden Soul Hall’s Eighth Realm forces, and Yaya used her techniques to overwhelm and kill several opponents.

The Moon Embracing Sect overwhelmed the Hidden Soul Hall’s forces, while Luo Ling exploited the battle to eliminate his rivals’ followers and secure his own position. As the Hidden Soul Hall’s main force attacked, Yaya turned its formation against it, and Xiao Ling’er and Wang Teng unleashed a devastating combination technique, leaving the battle’s outcome unresolved.

• Wang Teng, Su Yan, and summoned group members fought the Hidden Soul Hall forces, while Song Yunxiao drew power from the sect’s Secret Realms and reached the peak of the Eighth Realm.
• Lin Fan watched the Moon Embracing Sect gain the upper hand, and Li Hun and Yin Juechen ordered their followers to retreat as the Hidden Soul Hall suffered heavy casualties.
• Luo Ling delayed sending reinforcements until most of Li Hun and Yin Juechen’s confidants had died, then led the neutral faction to the battlefield and killed the last three survivors himself.
• The Great Demon God and Number Ten arrived, and Yaya used the Heaven Devouring Demonic Art with her spiritual bodies to drain the Hidden Soul Hall’s Blood Soul Inversion Dissipation Array.
• Xiao Ling’er and Wang Teng combined their techniques, firing an explosive attack at the Hidden Soul Hall forces closing in on Yaya.

The Moon Embracing Sect battled the Hidden Soul Hall, and Wang Teng’s empowered Artificial Sun Fist wiped out nearly all of its Seventh Realm cultivators. As the fighting turned against the remaining Vice Hall Masters, Lin Fan revealed his Ninth Realm-level strength and attacked Li Hun and Yin Juechen, prompting Yin Juechen to summon the Hidden Soul Hall’s Hall Master.

• Wang Teng combined strange flames and the Phased Array explosion with his Artificial Sun Fist, vaporizing more than three thousand Seventh Realm Hidden Soul Hall cultivators.
• Long Aotian drew a Ninth Realm Feather Clan flying beast toward the Hidden Soul Hall fighters, allowing the Moon Embracing Sect’s Personal Disciples to attack their scattered forces.

• Lin Fan joined Hai Dongpo in assaulting Yin Juechen with combined flame and ice techniques, and Yin Juechen shattered the Hall Master’s emergency treasure as he faced defeat.

Lin Fan battled Blood Destruction Life while showcasing the Moon Embracing Sect’s techniques, and his disciples realized how much they could learn by combining their arts. Blood Destruction Life released the Void Demonic Flame and joined forces with it against Lin Fan, who began to identify the flame’s weakness.

• Xiao Ling'er recognized Lin Fan’s Buddha’s Wrath Fire Lotus but wondered where his unfamiliar strange flames had come from.
• Blood Destruction Life emerged from seclusion and charged at Lin Fan, while Hai Dongpo attacked him and the others surrounded the wounded Yin Juechen.
• Lin Fan countered Blood Destruction Life with techniques including Sword Twenty-Three, used a split-soul attack to damage him, and demonstrated his disciples’ arts to the battlefield.
• Lin Fan’s disciples watched him combine and wield their techniques, and Lin Fan used the display to encourage them to learn from one another.
• As his vice hall masters fell and Lin Fan continued to resist, Blood Destruction Life released the Void Demonic Flame and swore an oath to join it against Lin Fan.
• The Void Demonic Flame and Blood Destruction Life attacked together, and Lin Fan studied the flame before opening his eyes with bloody tears and preparing to exploit its weakness.

Lin Fan defeated Blood Destruction Life by trapping him inside a sealed fragment of space, though his injuries left him with only his upper body. He then turned to the unfinished battle inside the Venerated Soul Banner, where the Great Demon God was fighting Luo Ling.

• Lin Fan used Sun Reading to put the Void Demonic Flame to sleep, then battered Blood Destruction Life and overwhelmed his Sea of Blood Clones with his many spirit bodies and the Willow Deity Method.
• Lin Fan combined Sword Twenty-Three with his other techniques to cleave the Sea of Blood, but Blood Destruction Life survived and summoned his natal Emperor Weapon, the Soul Hall.
• Yaya lent Lin Fan her Emperor Weapon, and he used the Invincible Sword Technique to attack the Soul Hall until its heat weakened it; when Blood Destruction Life tried to draw in the Void Demonic Flame, Lin Fan entered the Soul Hall himself.
• Lin Fan used ninety-nine Gaia Energy Cannons and the Kun Peng Method to melt the Soul Hall, then cast A Sword Separating Worlds to seal Blood Destruction Life and the sea of blood in a glass bead.
• Lin Fan explained that Blood Destruction Life was not dead and began cooking the sealed bead with strange flames while his disciples helped him recover from his severe injuries.
• Lin Fan grabbed the Venerated Soul Banner, shook it, and forced two figures out as the battle between the Great Demon God and Luo Ling continued.

Lin Fan and his allies killed Luo Ling, broke into the Hidden Soul Hall by destroying a formation eye, and wiped out the sect. They began looting the ruins while Lin Fan searched the treasury for its best treasures.

• Lin Fan and the others overwhelmed and killed Luo Ling, then decided to press on to the Hidden Soul Hall while Lin Fan gave the Void Demonic Flame to Xiao Ling'er to refine.
• Hidden Soul Hall’s elders learned that Blood Destruction Life had been sealed, their three Vice Hall Masters were dead, and Moon Embracing Sect had suffered no casualties, so they activated their protective formation and prepared to hold out.
• Wu Xingyun used her Radiant Night Domain and Lin Fan’s treasure to destroy a formation eye, weakening the Sect Protecting Grand Formation and allowing Moon Embracing Sect to break through.

• Wu Xingyun reported that the formation eyes included Ninth Realm corpses, and Lin Fan ordered one recovered for He Anxia before the group began looting the sect.
• Lin Fan headed straight for the Hidden Soul Hall treasury to search for its most valuable treasures.

The Moon Embracing Sect looted the Hidden Soul Hall and learned that Blood Destruction Life had orchestrated the destruction of many clans to gather blood for his undying technique. Xiao Ling'er killed Li Xianxian, discovering that his hatred stemmed from Blackwater City's destruction, while the group set out for home with the truth revealed and Ji Chutong asking Lin Fan to speak privately.

• Lin Fan found little Immortal Gold in the Bright Moon Sect treasury, while the group looted the Hidden Soul Hall and gathered its souls, records, and resources.
• Xiao Ling'er confronted the fleeing Protector Li, defeated him, and learned before his death that he was Li Xianxian, the son of Blackwater City's lord.
• Xiao Ling'er realized Li Xianxian had blamed her for Blackwater City's destruction instead of seeking revenge on the Xiao Family Main Lineage, then burned his corpse and scattered his ashes.

• Ji Chutong told Lin Fan she wanted to speak with him alone.

After the Moon Embracing Sect destroyed the Hidden Soul Hall, its disciples grew stronger and Shi Qi challenged Shi Hao to a public battle in the Illusory God Realm. Shi Hao chose to accept after sensing that his Supreme Bone was about to regrow, while news of the brothers’ past spread across the continent.

• Ji Chutong reassured Lin Fan that she would not give up on life, then left to find her own path after spending the night with him.

• Xiao Ling'er, Yaya, Wang Teng, Qiu Yongqin, and the other disciples advanced after entering seclusion, while Lin Fan refused to change the sect’s third-rate designation.
• Shi Qi learned that Shi Hao had fought alongside the Great Demon God and challenged him to fight in the Illusory God Realm, announcing that the Supreme Bone in his body had come from his younger brother.
• Lin Fan left the decision to Shi Hao, who told the Great Demon God he wanted to fight Shi Qi but would first enter seclusion because he sensed his Supreme Bone was about to grow back.
• People across the Immortal Martial Continent pieced together the story of Shi Hao’s stolen Supreme Bone and the conflict between the Great Demon God Lineage and Shi Qi’s family.

Long Aotian entered the Illusory God Realm and overwhelmed the gathered Central Continent prodigies, then challenged Shi Qi while Shi Qi waited for his younger brother. Shi Hao appeared just as Shi Qi prepared to fight Long Aotian, setting up the long-awaited confrontation between the twin Supreme Beings.

• Yaya worried that the news of Shi Qi's challenge would draw Central Continent's attention, while Lin Fan told her to focus on their work.

• Shi Hao appeared and asked Shi Qi why he was leaving, prompting the crowd to recognize him as the reborn Innate Supreme.

Shi Hao and Shi Qi began their long-awaited battle in the Illusory God Realm, matching each other through successive realms as the arena strengthened to withstand their power. As the fight escalated, Shi Qi revealed the Kirin Law, and Shi Hao answered with the same technique before unleashing the Vermilion Bird Four Strikes.

• The spectators recognized Shi Hao as the Bear Child, while Long Aotian agreed to let Shi Qi fight him first after Lin Fan asked him to wait.

• Shi Qi invoked the Kirin Law, and Shi Hao revealed that he knew it too, then followed with the Vermilion Bird Four Strikes.

Shi Hao defeated Shi Qi in the Heavenly Talent Battle by revealing a second Supreme Bone and its time-reversing technique, turning Shi Qi’s God Destroying Needle against him. The Stone Clan rescued Shi Qi from the Illusory God Realm, while Shi Zhongtian denounced the clan and Shi Hao’s victory spread through the crowd.

• Shi Hao used the Vermilion Bird Four Strikes to injure Shi Qi, who then revealed the power of the Supreme Bone he had stolen from Shi Hao and battered him with Heavenly Tribulation Light.
• Shi Hao recovered with the Willow Deity Method, evaded another Heavenly Tribulation Light with the Xingzi Secret, and broke Shi Qi’s arms with the Kun Peng Method and Willow Deity Method.
• Shi Qi healed himself with the Heaven Mending Technique and fought Shi Hao at close range, planning to strike him with Heavenly Tribulation Light and the God Destroying Needle.

• Shi Zhongtian condemned the Stone Clan for its treatment of Shi Hao, and spectators celebrated Shi Hao’s victory as Wang Teng asked Lin Fan whether Shi Qi could survive.

After Shi Hao defeated Shi Qi, a Twin-pupiled woman rescued Shi Qi and began restoring him, while Lin Fan prepared Dianna and Funingna to return to their magic world. The sisters reunited with Cao Man, learned that the world had changed and the Church of Light had been disgraced, and began asking about their mission.

• The cultivators reacted to Shi Hao’s victory and his declaration that he was a disciple of the Moon Embracing Sect, while Long Aotian mocked Shi Qi and challenged the Feather Clan.
• Shi Qi died despite the Stone Clan ancestors’ efforts, but a mysterious Twin-pupiled woman broke into the clan, took his corpse, and claimed she could still save him.
• Shi Qi awoke in a cave, where the Twin-pupiled woman scolded him for failing to use his eye techniques and urged him to defeat Shi Hao next time.
• Lin Fan predicted Shi Qi would return stronger, then sent Dianna and Funingna back to their magic world to carry out a plan.
• Dianna and Funingna beat Cao Man, then asked about their world and learned of upheaval among the elves, secret collusion between mages and swordsmen, and a scandal that had damaged the Church of Light’s reputation.

Dianna and Funingna manipulated the Churches of Light and Darkness toward war after Funingna uncovered the Church of Light’s hypocrisy and its deliberate persecution of believers. As the two Churches prepared to fight, a mysterious Eastern man founded the Moon Worship Cult in the Holy City of Light and began healing the sick in exchange for their faith.

• Dianna recruited Cao Man to help her provoke a war between the Churches of Light and Darkness, then disguised herself as Funingna and attacked Dark Church strongholds.
• Funingna returned to the Church of Light, learned the Pope tolerated the Dark Church to control a manageable enemy, and secretly decided to help Dianna ignite a war.
• Funingna disguised herself as Dianna, attacked Church of Light members, and investigated the slums, where she discovered Cardinal Angsa had arranged for disease to spread among believers to strengthen their faith.
• Dianna and Funingna continued attacking both Churches until their leaders could not prevent war, while the other four Churches avoided involvement.
• A mysterious Eastern man established the Moon Worship Cult in the Holy City of Light, healed sick slum residents, and required them to worship the Moon and recite an incantation cursing the God of Light.

The Moon Worship Cult expanded rapidly in the Holy City of Light as Funingna used divine grace to win over the city’s people while the Church of Light and Dark Church staged a war to lure out the hidden enemy. Dianna infiltrated the battlefield and turned the staged fighting into a real disaster, leaving both churches blaming one another.

• Lin Fan’s disguised cult leader healed patients and spread the Moon Worship Cult through the Holy City of Light as the Church of Light stayed distracted by Dianna’s attacks.
• The Pope of Light and the Dark Pope secretly agreed to stage a spectacular battle with few casualties, while Funingna listened and planned to exploit their hypocrisy.
• The Dark Church openly gathered its forces, and both churches assembled on the Plain of Light as their forbidden spells filled the sky.
• Funingna summoned Moon Worship Cult believers in the Holy City and used arrays, pills, and Origin Stones to heal and strengthen them, prompting many Church of Light believers to convert.
• Dianna slipped into the battlefield and altered a Dark Church forbidden spell, killing many Light Knights, Magicians, and Holy Healers.
• The Church of Light accused the Dark Church of betrayal, while the Dark Pope privately insisted to the Pope of Light that the deadly strike had not been his side’s plan.

The Pope of Light and the Dark Pope’s attempt to stage a limited battle spiraled into a full-scale war after hidden interference made each side believe the other was attacking in earnest. As Dianna cultivated from the battlefield’s blood, Cao Man and Funingna fought to protect her, and Funingna faced the summoned Lord Gods with a way to nullify their Divine Word Technique and draw on stolen faith.

• The Pope of Light and the Dark Pope agreed to stage casualties, but mysterious attacks caused both churches to retaliate until their leaders joined the battle.
• Dianna gathered blood from the fighting to cultivate the Sea of Blood Undying Body while Cao Man protected her and revealed his Sword God-level strength.
• Funingna arrived, broke the churches’ combined spell with a five-element fusion spell, and overpowered their God-tier fighters alongside Cao Man.
• The two Popes summoned the Lord God of Light and the Dark Lord God, who confronted Funingna as she declared she would slay them.
• Funingna endured the Lord God of Light’s Divine Word Technique without harm and revealed that she had taken in believers and could borrow their faith power.
