Chapter Summaries

After Long Haochen recovered Qiu Yonghao’s old friend’s sword intent, Qiu offered Ye Ling’s group Extraterrestrial Wrought Iron and advised them not to trade away their useful equipment. Wang Yuanyuan revealed that Ye Ling founded the forging method behind Haoyue Equipment, and Ye Ling’s display of orange-red gear left Qiu Yonghao stunned.

• Qiu Yonghao thanked Long Haochen, Ye Ling, and King-level Demon Hunting Group No. 54 for restoring the sword intent and awakening Goddess of Light Aria.
• Qiu Yonghao presented the group with the Meteorite from Beyond the Heavens known as Extraterrestrial Wrought Iron and advised them to take only a portion until they could forge it.
• Wang Yuanyuan explained that Ye Ling, Li Xin, and Long Haochen came from Haoyue City and that Ye Ling had founded Haoyue Equipment’s powerful forging method.
• Ye Ling produced several pieces of orange-red equipment, and Qiu Yonghao recognized them as Epic Grade Equipment.

Ye Ling traded six pieces of Epic Grade Equipment to Qiu Yonghao for Extraterrestrial Wrought Iron. After sensing the metal, Ye Ling recognized its connection to the Throne of Doom and Slaughter and considered using advanced forging techniques to create equipment beyond divine artifacts.

• Ye Ling offered Qiu Yonghao three Epic Grade Weapons and three pieces of Epic Grade Armor in exchange for the Extraterrestrial Wrought Iron.
• Qiu Yonghao learned that Ye Ling had forged all six pieces and accepted the trade, taking the equipment for the Warrior Holy Temple.
• Ye Ling promised to send the Warrior Holy Temple a piece of equipment if he successfully forged something from the metal.
• Ye Ling sensed the Extraterrestrial Wrought Iron and recognized it as metal used in Teacher Xingyu's Throne of Doom and Slaughter.
• Ye Ling considered using Soul Forging or Heavenly Forging on the metal to create a throne or Four-Word Spirit Armor that could surpass a Divine Seal and break beyond the limits of divine artifacts.

Ye Ling collected the Extraterrestrial Wrought Iron and declined Qiu Yonghao’s offer to join the Warrior Holy Temple, insisting that he would remain a knight and not take a position his friend might want. He and his group left to pursue their next task: killing a Demon God.

• Ye Ling stored the Extraterrestrial Wrought Iron and resolved to reach the Heavenly Forging level before attempting to forge it.
• Qiu Yonghao offered Ye Ling the future position of Warrior Holy Temple Master and promised the temple’s support in his pursuit of a Divine Seal and the Temple Alliance leadership.

• Qiu Yonghao recognized the exceptional talent throughout Ye Ling’s Demon Hunting Group and stopped trying to recruit him.
• Ye Ling declined Qiu Yonghao’s invitation to stay and said his group needed to kill a Demon God.

Ye Ling and King-level Demon Hunting Group No. 54 traveled with Yue Ye's merchant association toward Yak Province to complete their missions.

Ye Ling and his companions arrived near Great Yak City and learned that a Demon Hunting Group was under attack by the Yake Clan. Ye Ling chose to intervene directly, leaving the group poised to fight three Yak Leaders and their forces.

• At Great Yak City, Long Haochen told Yue Ye that the eight companions would separate from the Yueye Merchant Association and carry out their own tasks.

• Cai'er reported that over a thousand Yak demons, fifty Yak Lords, ten Seventh-Order Generals, and three Eighth-Order Yak Leaders were attacking a King-level Demon Hunting Group.
• Ye Ling decided to attack the Yake Clan directly and complete their mission by killing the three Yak Leaders and five hundred Yak demons.

Ye Ling's King-level Demon Hunting Group No. 54 rescued Tian Qing's battered King-level Demon Hunting Group No. 17 from three Eighth Rank Yak Leaders. After the battle, Tian Qing recognized Ye Ling as the champion he had admired since the South Suppressing Pass battlefield.

• Tian Qing praised Ye Ling and explained that several Yak Demon teams, including Demon King Groups, had been sent to Yak Province.
• Ye Ling agreed that the group could strike back against the Demon Extermination teams, confident he could escape even if they faced a stronger force.
• Tian Qing offered to take Ye Ling and his team to the group headquarters, and Ye Ling accepted after his members deferred to his decision.
• Tian Qing led all fourteen through a concealed entrance in a human-run restaurant and down into an underground base.
• Ye Ling inspected the base’s rooms, supplies, and hidden construction, judging it worth at least Epic Grade Equipment.

Ye Ling agreed to cooperate with Tian Qing’s Demon Hunting Group against the Demon Extermination forces near Great Yak City, but insisted his group lead the attack. When Tian Qing questioned whether Ye Ling’s group was strong enough, Ye Ling revealed that he had reached the Eighth Rank.

• Tian Qing proposed that his Demon Hunting Group and Ye Ling’s group work together to ambush the Demon Extermination forces expected to arrive in Great Yak City.

• Tian Qing argued that his group’s members had higher ranks and greater combined Spiritual Power than Ye Ling’s group.
• Ye Ling transformed his Spiritual Power into Spiritual Aura and announced that he had entered the Eighth Rank.

Ye Ling revealed that he had reached the Eighth Rank and took command of the joint Demon Hunting Group, with Tian Qing agreeing to follow his lead. He brought Cai'er to his room to discuss something, but she misunderstood his intentions and suggested waiting until their mission was over.

• Ye Ling took Cai'er to his room, where she blushed and said she was willing to do anything for him but suggested waiting until the mission was over.

Ye Ling told Cai'er that her Reincarnation Physique required Divine Favor Awakening after reaching the Seventh Rank and assigned her a dangerous assassination mission to help trigger it. He reassured her that he would protect her, but Li Xin interrupted their embrace, prompting Ye Ling to say she had arrived at just the right time.

• Ye Ling explained that Cai'er's Reincarnation Physique had begun bestowing divine favor and that awakening would be necessary for her future cultivation.
• Cai'er chose to undergo Divine Favor Awakening, and Ye Ling said he would help her by assigning her to assassinate the Eighth Rank leader of Demon Extermination during their ambush.
• Ye Ling comforted Cai'er and promised to protect her as she prepared to face the dangerous mission.
• Li Xin entered and found Ye Ling embracing Cai'er, then asked whether she had come at the wrong time.
• Ye Ling replied that Li Xin had come at just the right time.

Ye Ling, Li Xin, and Cai'er discussed the dangers of Divine Favor Awakening and prepared Cai'er for it. Seven days later, Ye Ling's group ambushed a Star Group Demon Extermination squad outside Great Yak City, and Ye Ling and Cai'er launched their attack.

• Li Xin arrived while Ye Ling was teaching Cai'er about Divine Favor Awakening, then worried over the risks after learning Caier's plans.
• Ye Ling promised to begin the initial stage in seven days, and he, Li Xin, and Long Haochen taught Cai'er about awakening and shared their experience.
• Three days later, the group discussed their next mission, then decided to leave headquarters for Great Yak City seven days afterward.
• Ye Ling's group lay in wait near Great Yak City to ambush a ten-person Demon Extermination squad led by a powerful Star Demon.
• When the Star Demon reached Ye Ling's chosen attack range, Ye Ling told Cai'er to move, concealed himself with the Time Dragon Martial Soul, and charged alongside her.

Ye Ling deliberately gave Cai'er the chance to kill an Eighth Rank Star Demon so she could advance her understanding of the God of Death's True meaning of Reincarnation. After Cai'er's perfected Unity of Heaven and Man brought her close to awakening her Divine Favor, Ye Ling sent her to safety and led both Demon Hunting Groups to finish off the remaining demons.

• Ye Ling exposed an opening to lure the Star Demon into attacking, then used the Golden Dragon Spear to kill the Bear Demon that restrained him.
• Cai'er struck the Star Demon with the Sword of Reincarnation, killing it and entering a perfected state of Unity of Heaven and Man.
• Cai'er's Divine Favor Awakening advanced greatly, leaving her one step away from completion, and Ye Ling teleported her into the Tower of Eternity.

• Tian Qing praised Ye Ling and Cai'er for their swift victory, and Ye Ling claimed he had learned some assassin skills from Cai'er.

Ye Ling brought his group back to their headquarters after destroying a Demon Extermination force and revealed that Cai'er was undergoing a Divine Favor Awakening. He announced that after she recovered, they would travel to Imperial Dragon Pass, where Long Haochen could reunite with his parents and Ye Ling could pursue his own advancement.

• Ye Ling explained to Tian Qing that Cai'er was safe in special escape equipment, then led the group back to their headquarters before more Demon Extermination forces arrived.
• Ye Ling brought the six members of King-level Demon Hunting Group No. 54 into the Tower of Eternity, where they found Cai'er in a state of Heavenly Being Awakening.

• Lin Xin counted their completed missions, and Ye Ling said they would travel to Imperial Dragon Pass after leaving Great Yak City.
• Long Haochen reacted excitedly and nervously to the trip, and Ye Ling reassured him that he had already met Long Xingyu's requirements to go there.

Ye Ling, Long Haochen, and Li Xin anticipated traveling to Imperial Dragon Pass after completing their Slaughter Missions, while Chen Ying'er looked forward to revealing her Beast God Physique. In Great Yak City, A Bao prepared to trap Ye Ling's group with a Demon King Group and a powerful Demon God Group.

• Ye Ling anticipated gaining a stronger Angel physique and upgraded equipment at Imperial Dragon Pass, while Long Haochen looked forward to reuniting with his parents.
• Li Xin and Chen Ying'er also looked forward to visiting their respective Holy Temples, and the group agreed to finish its twenty Slaughter Missions before traveling onward.
• A Bao gathered his Demon Extermination group in Great Yak City and kept Yue Ye with him after sending the Yueye Merchant Association away.
• A Bao's men reported that they could not locate the humans' headquarters without help from a top-ranked Demon God.
• A Bao decided to wait for the Demon Extermination squads to leave the headquarters and revealed that he had brought a Demon God Group to join the planned attack.

A Bao summoned the Demon God Group to hunt Ye Ling, determined to erase the humiliation of his earlier defeat and rescue Leng Xiao. Yue Ye concealed what she knew about Leng Xiao's safe treatment as A Bao vowed to kill Ye Ling or give up his position as Demon Prince.

• A Bao admitted that he could not guarantee defeating Ye Ling and explained that he had asked Feng Xiu to summon the Demon God Group.
• Yue Ye feared that A Bao's victory would force her into marriage and leave her trapped within the Demon Clan.
• A Bao said he would use the Demon God Group to kill Ye Ling and rescue Leng Xiao, whom he had begun to care about after she protected him.
• Yue Ye kept quiet about Leng Xiao's condition and improved cultivation, fearing that revealing the truth would put her in danger with both sides.
• A Bao vowed to kill Ye Ling and said he would surrender his Demon Prince position if he failed.

After seven days of cultivation and discussion, Tian Qing urged the group to leave Great Yak City, but Ye Ling revealed that enemy squads were waiting outside and proposed an ambush instead. The group stayed hidden and prepared to strike rather than face the forces head-on.

• Cai'er and Ye Ling discussed cultivation with an assassin from King-level Demon Hunting Group No. 17, who gained insights into the Eighth Rank Emperor Assassin realm.
• After three hours of contemplation, Tian Qing told Ye Ling that most Demon Extermination squads had withdrawn and urged the group to leave Great Yak City.
• Ye Ling asked Tian Qing and the seniors from King-level Demon Hunting Group No. 17 whether they feared death, then warned that enemy squads were waiting outside the city.
• Ye Ling said Gu Yuena had scouted the forces, including a Demon King Group and at least five Demon Extermination squads, possibly including Dragon Moon Star Group 3.
• Ye Ling rejected Tian Qing's suggestion to act immediately and ordered the group to remain hidden and ambush the waiting squads.

Ye Ling planned to ambush the Demon Clan, but their headquarters was discovered before the group could leave. After Gu Yuena investigated the enemy forces, Ye Ling proposed that his group lead the fight while Tian Qing's group escaped, with both groups' ultimate trump card as a last resort.

• Ye Ling proposed ambushing the Demon Clan, and Tian Qing agreed to follow his plan.
• The headquarters shook as Demon Clan magic and a powerful mage's aura surrounded it.
• Ye Ling sent Gu Yuena to investigate, and she found about fifty enemies led by Leng Xiao's older brother, with four Ninth Rank fighters beside him.
• Gu Yuena also detected another hidden team led by a Ninth-Order Level 2 opponent, alarming Tian Qing.
• Ye Ling told Tian Qing's group to support his team and escape, and said he would use both groups' ultimate trump card if they could not break out.

Ye Ling and Tian Qing prepared to defend the headquarters, and Ye Ling revealed the Angel Sacred Sword as the final barrier fell. A forbidden spell ambush devastated the first Demon Extermination team and left A Bao and four Ninth-Rank demons badly shaken.

• Ye Ling told Tian Qing he would reveal the Tower of Eternity if there was no other way to save the group, while Tian Qing readied his shield and sword.
• Ye Ling drew the Angel Sacred Sword as the headquarters' final barrier shattered.
• A Bao ordered the Demon Extermination members to enter the headquarters and promised them great credit for hunting down the humans.
• An offensive light-element forbidden spell killed one Eighth-Rank and nine Seventh-Rank Demon Extermination members as they entered.
• A Bao tried to stop the forbidden spell, but four Ninth-Rank demons joined him, and all five were left disheveled by the explosion.

Ye Ling led fourteen survivors out of the headquarters ruins and faced A Bao and the Demon Clan forces, who moved to surround them. Ye Ling organized his team for a defensive battle and hinted that Chen Ying'er would use a powerful joint summoning.

• Ye Ling emerged with thirteen others, and A Bao ordered the Demon Clan forces to surround and kill them rather than confront Ye Ling himself.
• The Demon Clan members hesitated until A Bao threatened to strip them of their Demon Extermination status, prompting five groups to advance.
• Ye Ling's team prepared to face the attackers while four Ninth-Order Demons watched to prevent anyone from escaping.
• Ye Ling assigned defensive and support roles to his teammates and gave Cai'er additional instructions about Divine Favor Awakening.
• Ye Ling reminded Chen Ying'er of his earlier advice about the Golden Dragon King, and she realized they could jointly summon the Gold-Silver Dragon Kings with the Soul Saintess.

Ye Ling and Chen Ying'er used Ye Ling's Golden Dragon King bloodline to empower her summoning, opening an enormous Gate of All Souls. The gate produced a host of powerful dragons, culminating in the appearance of a Ninth Rank Dragon King as A Bao led the Demon Clan in an attack.

• Ye Ling released the power of his Golden Dragon King bloodline, and A Bao noticed and dismissed the idea that Chen Ying'er could use it to summon anything.
• Chen Ying'er chanted and opened a hundred-meter Gate of All Souls adorned with golden and silver dragons.
• A Bao recognized the gate as a threat and ordered the Eighth- and Ninth-Rank Demon Clan members to kill Ye Ling while Seventh-Rank fighters summoned the Thirty-Six Pillars Demon God.
• A Bao and the Demon Clan charged Ye Ling, but ten Seventh-Rank dragons emerged from the gate, followed by three Eighth-Rank dragons.
• A furious Ninth Rank Dragon King appeared within the still-open gate.
