Chapter Summaries

Li Tianlan killed Demon General Duoluo and set his sights on the Demon King and Demon Empress. Demon King Casey sent Buno, empowered by Demon King's Blood, to test Li Tianlan, but Buno was badly injured in their first clash and began drawing on the blood’s power.

• Li Tianlan destroyed Duoluo’s attack and burned the demon general to ashes with Dao Tong Yan.
• After learning Duoluo had been killed, Demon King Casey sent Buno to confront Li Tianlan and strengthened him with Demon King's Blood.
• Buno flew to Li Tianlan and struck him with a punch carrying ten billion jin of force.
• Li Tianlan countered with Eight Extremes Collapse, injured Buno, and kicked him into a vast crater.
• Buno’s injuries began healing as the Demon King's Blood released more power, and Li Tianlan decided to wait rather than kill him immediately.

Li Tianlan defeated Buno, rejected Demon King Casey’s offer to negotiate, and headed for the Demon King's Palace to confront him. Meanwhile, Douluo Continent continued to change after Li Tianlan left, as rising power and arriving Otherworlders brought new dangers.

• Li Tianlan discovered that Buno's regeneration and splitting weakened him, then burned his remains to ash with Dao Tong Yan.
• Demon King Casey appeared and offered to help Li Tianlan, but Li Tianlan declared that he intended to kill the Demon Empress, every Demon King, and every Demon General.
• Casey challenged Li Tianlan to come to the Demon King's Palace, and Li Tianlan burned away Casey's phantom before flying there.
• Casey reassured the Demon Generals that the palace's formations would protect them and refused to call the Demon Empress for help.
• On Douluo Continent, spatial vortices and increased Heaven and Earth Vital Energy empowered Soul Masters, while Otherworlders sought treasures, including Li Tianlan's world-limit-breaking treasure.

Li Tianlan sent a clone into Demon King Casey’s hall and fought the Demon King in a magically empowered arena. After easily overpowering Casey, Li Tianlan provoked him into using the Blood Demon Art, leaving the battle facing a new threat.

• Li Tianlan used his clone soul skill to scout the demon hall and found himself transported to an arena with Demon King Casey.
• Casey explained that the arena forced a life-or-death duel and enhanced demons tenfold, but Li Tianlan knocked him down with the Ancient Emperor Seal.
• Li Tianlan used Three Thousand Lightning Movement and Eight Extremes Collapse to injure Casey and mocked him for being weak.
• Casey unleashed the Blood Demon Art, turning seven drops of black blood into a demonic shadow that slashed toward Li Tianlan.

Li Tianlan used Absolute Defense to withstand Demon King Casey’s Demon God Power, then burned away the phantom and the lingering marks with Dao Tong Yan. Casey realized he had no chance against Li Tianlan, but the arena forced them to fight until one of them died.

• Li Tianlan activated Absolute Defense, and Casey’s first Demon God strike failed to harm him.
• Casey summoned more demonic phantoms, but Li Tianlan endured their attacks and knocked Casey flying with a punch.
• Casey sent another phantom after Li Tianlan, whose movement and Ancient Emperor Seal could not stop it.
• Li Tianlan used Dao Tong Yan to burn the phantom to nothingness and remove the black marks left by its earlier strikes.
• Casey regretted underestimating Li Tianlan, but the Demon God-forged arena would not let either fighter leave before the deathmatch ended.

Li Tianlan fought Demon King Casey as Casey summoned the Fire Demon God’s power and transformed into a formidable opponent. The Fire Demon God dismissed Li Tianlan’s attacks, but Li Tianlan wounded him with Dao Tong Yan and sent him flying, leaving their battle underway.

• Demon King Casey began summoning the Demon God’s power, and Li Tianlan attacked his blood-red Energy Shield with the Great Fortune Palm and Buddha’s Fury Lotus Flame.

• Li Tianlan learned that Dao Tong Yan permanently burned away whatever it touched, leaving the Fire Demon God's wound unable to heal.
• The Fire Demon God attacked, but Li Tianlan used Absolute Defense and Dao Tong Yan to evade and wear him down until his power was nearly exhausted.

• After winning the arena battle, Li Tianlan killed the demons within a thousand zhang as they fled, then rushed toward a demon palace.
• The Demon Empress judged Li Tianlan dangerous enough to threaten her and ordered the Demon Kings to hold him back while she prepared a weapon.

Li Tianlan fought his way through the Demon Emperor Hall’s defenses and confronted the Fire Demon God, who possessed the Snake Demon King. After destroying the Fire Demon God’s avatar, Li Tianlan stood before the hall as the surviving Demon Kings hesitated to challenge him.

• Li Tianlan boosted his power and struck the Demon Emperor Hall’s energy shield, but it held firm; he then teleported inside.
• Demon Kings and hundreds of demon generals charged Li Tianlan to delay him, but he slaughtered them and advanced toward the hall.
• The Snake Demon King used the Demon God Summoning Technique, allowing the Fire Demon God to take control of his body and confront Li Tianlan.
• The Fire Demon God attacked Li Tianlan with a fire blade, but Li Tianlan detonated a Buddha’s Fury Lotus Flame that devastated the surrounding forces and palaces.
• Li Tianlan smashed the injured Fire Demon God’s avatar with the Immortal Gold Ruler, leaving the surviving Demon Kings too frightened to advance.

Li Tianlan fought the Demon Empress, whose golden armor pierced his Absolute Defense and unleashed power that destroyed most of a planet and wiped out the Demon Race. The armor then devoured energy from a galaxy, awakened a consciousness, and offered Li Tianlan its inheritance in exchange for revenge.

• Li Tianlan smashed the Demon Emperor Hall, and the Demon Empress emerged wearing golden armor and attacked him with a golden sword.
• Li Tianlan struck the Demon Empress, discovered the armor could pierce his Absolute Defense, and used Execution with the Immortal Gold Ruler.
• The golden armor unleashed immense power, obliterating the Demon Empress and nearly half the planet before the remaining plane collapsed and the Demon Race was wiped out.
• The golden armor flew into a sun, drained its energy, and then absorbed power from tens of thousands of nearby stars.
• The armor's consciousness offered Li Tianlan its inheritance and asked him to avenge it, repeating the offer until he realized the opportunity before him.

Li Tianlan received the Golden Armor’s inheritance and learned he was bound to kill a mysterious threat, but the armor’s destruction of Demon Star left him stranded from Douluo Continent. When the Fire Demon God emerged through a surviving spatial rift, Li Tianlan attacked, hoping to reach another plane and find a route home.

• Li Tianlan agreed to accept the Golden Armor’s inheritance, and visions revealed its former owner’s defeat and the armor’s search for him.
• A golden mark gave Li Tianlan the inheritance and warned that he would die if he failed to help defeat the mysterious existence threatening the armor’s universe.
• Li Tianlan decided to postpone entering that dangerous universe until he had reached a far higher cultivation level.
• He discovered the Golden Armor had destroyed Demon Star and damaged the passage back to Douluo Continent, leaving him stranded in space.
• A surviving spatial rift opened on Demon Star, and the Fire Demon God emerged and vowed to kill the culprit.
• Li Tianlan charged the Fire Demon God and struck him with a punch that shattered the surrounding space.

Li Tianlan defeated the Fire Demon God’s physical body, but the Demon God escaped and opened a gate to the Demon God Realm. As nine more Demon Gods arrived and amplified one another’s power, Li Tianlan activated Eightfold Mind and several defensive abilities to face them.

• Li Tianlan restrained the Fire Demon God, shattered his purple shield, and destroyed his body with a punch.
• The Fire Demon God’s soul fled, but Li Tianlan pursued it and burned part of it with Dao Tong Yan.
• The wounded Fire Demon God opened the God Realm Gate, allowing nine other Demon Gods to emerge.
• Li Tianlan realized the ten Demon Gods shared their strength, making their combined power a grave threat.
• Li Tianlan activated Eightfold Mind, creating eight copies of himself, then activated Tenfold amplification, Invincible Defense, and Immortal Body.

Li Tianlan fought the ten Demon Gods with overwhelming soul skills, but discovered that killing them together still did not end their resurrection. The Fire Demon God revealed that a hidden Demon God King sustained them, leaving Li Tianlan weakened and weighing whether to risk the Golden Armor’s destructive power.

• Li Tianlan activated successive soul skills, wounded the Wind Demon God, and drove the Fire Demon God back with a powerful punch.
• Li Tianlan targeted and shattered the Wind Demon God, but the Wind Demon God revived because the ten Demon Gods shared life and death.
• Li Tianlan created sixteen clones and had them kill all ten Demon Gods at once, but they revived again.
• The Fire Demon God revealed that a hidden Demon God King kept the ten Demon Gods alive as Li Tianlan’s strength began to fade.
• Li Tianlan considered using the Golden Armor to destroy the Demon Gods, but feared its power might destroy the planet and prevent his return to Douluo Continent.

Li Tianlan discovered that the Demon God King was hiding within the ten Demon Gods, then defeated him by unleashing the dangerous Heavenly Fire Three Profound Transformations. The Demon God King’s death reopened passages to enslaved worlds, including Douluo Continent, and Li Tianlan entered that passage.

• Li Tianlan sensed the Demon God King shifting among the ten Demon Gods and realized he appeared briefly when they were killed.
• Li Tianlan killed the ten Demon Gods, used Time Stop, and struck at the revealed Demon God King, who absorbed their power and grew stronger.
• Li Tianlan devoured Dao Tong Yan with Heavenly Fire Three Profound Transformations, greatly increasing his power despite the risk that his body would break apart.
• The Demon God King fled, but Li Tianlan caught up and killed him with the Immortal Gold Ruler.
• The Demon God King’s death reopened spatial passages to enslaved worlds, and Li Tianlan found one leading to Douluo Continent and entered it.

Li Tianlan returned to Douluo Continent and rescued Qian Renxue from Otherworlders seeking Immortal Source Power. He learned that the passage to the God Realm had broken, while the surviving enemies began plotting revenge from a dark cave.

• Li Tianlan found Qian Renxue fighting more than a dozen experts outside Heaven Dou City and realized she had been poisoned.
• Li Tianlan overwhelmed the attackers, killed them, and learned they had targeted Qian Renxue for Immortal Source Power.
• Qian Renxue told Li Tianlan that the passage between the God Realm and Douluo Continent had broken and that powerful Otherworlders had appeared across the continent.
• Li Tianlan and Qian Renxue headed toward Heaven Dou City to discuss the crisis and check on the others.
• In a dark cave, a black figure vowed revenge for the thirteen subordinates Li Tianlan had killed, while others warned that Li Tianlan was too powerful to confront directly.

Li Tianlan learned that increasingly powerful Otherworlders threatened Douluo Continent, so he began refining a pill from the rare Purgatory Heavenly Poison Fruit to strengthen himself and Qian Renxue. As outsiders gathered around his valley, he continued refining the fruit, which had only just softened after seven days and still contained deadly impurities.

• Qian Renxue told Li Tianlan that fighters nearly as strong as her would soon be able to enter Douluo Continent through spatial portals.
• Li Tianlan decided to prepare pills for Qian Renxue and returned to his valley cultivation grounds to begin refining one with the Purgatory Heavenly Poison Fruit.
• Li Tianlan discovered that Dao Tong Yan strengthened medicinal effects as he refined the pill’s ingredients.
• The refinement released a towering pillar of light, drawing Soul Masters and Otherworlders toward Li Tianlan’s valley in search of a treasure.
• Li Tianlan raised a golden Energy Shield around the valley and kept refining while the crowd waited outside.
• After seven days under Dao Tong Yan, the Purgatory Heavenly Poison Fruit softened into liquid that still contained deadly black impurities.

Li Tianlan refined the Purgatory Sky Poison Pill, which absorbed the lightning tribulation to complete its refinement and drew the attention of nearby Otherworlders. As they tried to seize it, Li Tianlan confronted a black-clad man who attacked him with a Blood Sword.

• Li Tianlan refined the Purgatory Sky Poison Pill, and its immense medicinal potency caused a terrifying Pill Tribulation to form before the pill was complete.
• Li Tianlan removed his Energy Shield, allowing the pill to absorb the heavenly lightning and form golden patterns across its surface.
• Otherworlders charged toward the pill, but the tribulation targeted them and left nearly all of them dead or wounded.
• A fast-moving black shadow reached for the pill, and Li Tianlan used Three Thousand Lightning Movement to intercept it.
• The black-clad man attacked Li Tianlan with a Blood Sword, but Li Tianlan's Immortal Gold Ruler broke a chunk from the sword.

Li Tianlan killed the black-clad man, seized and sealed the Purgatory Sky Poison Pill, then came under relentless fire from cultivators wielding a bow he suspected was the Myriad Sorrows Bow. The chapter left him evading golden arrows that tracked his aura.

• The black-clad man demanded Li Tianlan’s Immortal Gold Ruler, but Li Tianlan shattered his sword and beat him to death with repeated strikes.
• After the heavenly tribulation dispersed, Li Tianlan caught the sentient Purgatory Sky Poison Pill and used Time Stop and multiple seals to suppress it.
• Li Tianlan put away the pill, but a giant golden arrow suddenly shot toward him, forcing him to evade with Three Thousand Lightning Movement.
• More golden arrows pursued Li Tianlan, and he spotted cultivators taking turns firing a jade-like longbow from dozens of li away.
• Li Tianlan recognized the arrows’ aura as belonging to Burial Emperor Star and suspected the weapon was the Myriad Sorrows Bow.

Li Tianlan seized the Myriad Sorrows Bow and killed the Burial Emperor Star cultivators pursuing him. He recognized that his power had unbalanced his state of mind, then returned to Bena and chose to rest instead of going to the God Realm.

• Li Tianlan teleported among the Burial Emperor Star cultivators and killed one with the Immortal Gold Ruler.
• Li Tianlan pursued and killed the Myriad Sorrows Bow’s owner, catching the bow as it fell and causing the arrows targeting him to explode.
• Li Tianlan used the Myriad Sorrows Bow to kill the fleeing cultivators, frightening the onlookers into leaving.
• Li Tianlan realized his growing bloodlust came from an imbalance between his power and state of mind, and decided to rest and temper his mind before taking the Purgatory Sky Poison Pill.
• Li Tianlan returned to his courtyard, told Bena that he would wait for Douluo Continent and the God Realm to stabilize, and said he knew this by intuition.

Li Tianlan spent nearly two years cultivating and refining the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, growing vastly stronger while helping Dugu Yan learn alchemy. When Qian Renxue, Ye Lingling, and Ning Rongrong told him about a First Under Heaven Martial Arts Tournament, he agreed to leave seclusion and go with them to Shrek City.

• Li Tianlan reflected on the passing years and watched Dugu Yan's pill-making attempts repeatedly explode.
• Another year passed as Li Tianlan's ten Soul Rings merged into one crimson-gold ring and his power increased enormously.
• Li Tianlan realized the Purgatory Sky Poison Pill could greatly enhance his current strength, but put it away rather than risk relying on it.
• Qian Renxue, Ye Lingling, and Ning Rongrong arrived and told Li Tianlan that Otherworlders were holding a First Under Heaven Martial Arts Tournament.
• Li Tianlan decided to leave the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well with Qian Renxue and the others, and they went to Shrek City.

Li Tianlan returned to the rapidly changing Douluo Continent and learned that an Otherworld god was hosting a martial arts tournament. He agreed to enter, then heard how new cultivation systems had transformed the continent while he was away.

• Li Tianlan arrived at the thriving city beside Suotuo City and met Qin Ming near Shrek Academy.
• Qin Ming told Li Tianlan that an Otherworld god was hosting a martial arts tournament, and Li Tianlan agreed to participate.
• Qin Ming took Li Tianlan to eat and told him that more than a hundred cultivation systems had spread across Douluo Continent.
• Li Tianlan learned that Cangqiong Continent's battle qi system had become widespread and was displacing Soul Masters, whose cultivation was harder and whose roles were increasingly replaced.
• Li Tianlan learned that Douluo Continent's Heaven and Earth Vital Energy had expanded severalfold and that its overall strength continued to rise.

Li Tianlan learned that Douluo Continent’s evolution was strengthening its inhabitants while shortening the gods’ lifespans, then entered the World’s No.1 Martial Arts Tournament. He hid his identity behind a mask and instantly defeated the Otherworld Martial Saint Chu Tian, drawing the attention of the other powerful contestants.

• Qin Ming explained that Douluo Continent had grown more than ten times stronger than the God Realm and that gods were beginning to age as the world evolved.
• Li Tianlan learned the tournament’s one-on-one elimination rules and said he was more interested in the Otherworlders and their god than in winning a title.
• Three days later, Li Tianlan drew Chu Tian, a Martial Saint from another world, as his first opponent and wore a mask before entering the arena.
• Chu Tian dismissed Li Tianlan as too weak, but Li Tianlan revealed a hundred-meter crimson-gold Soul Ring and declared he would not need a soul skill.
• Li Tianlan flicked a finger of divine power at Chu Tian and knocked him out of the arena, stunning the host, Qian Renxue, and the other contestants.
