• Holy Guard Eleven froze the marshland with Thousand Mile Freeze, and the giant snake crashed onto the hard frozen earth.

Long Haochen’s group killed an Anaconda in the Gloomy Marsh and learned that its core and gallbladder could be used to make pills that strengthened the body and improved cultivation. After resting and setting out again with the Boa Core dispersing miasma, they ventured deeper into the swamp.

• Yating and Long Haochen restrained the Anaconda’s Boa Core, and the group killed the wounded beast while Cai’er watched Long Haochen with growing trust.

• The group resumed its journey using the Boa Core to disperse miasma, Holy Guard Eleven to condense their path, and Han Yu’s Evil Eye Commander to enhance Long Haochen’s perception.

Long Haochen’s group encountered enormous predatory flowers that attacked him and released a powerful Pink Mist capable of overwhelming their defenses and controlling Chen Ying'er. After Lin Xin revived Chen Ying'er, Long Haochen ordered the group to retreat from the dangerous area.

• Long Haochen sensed that something had driven the swamp plants away and led the group toward a silent patch of giant flower buds.
• Long Haochen approached one of the flowers, which opened into a toothed maw and attacked him; he struck it with Dragon Ascension Strike and escaped its reach.
• The nearby flowers lunged at Long Haochen and released Pink Mist that dissolved the group’s Holy Light Shield and resisted both cold and fire.
• Chen Ying'er inhaled a wisp of Pink Mist and began walking toward the flowers, but Lin Xin revived her with a blue liquid.
• Long Haochen ordered everyone to retreat because they could not counter the Pink Mist.

Long Haochen and his companions encountered Devil Man-eating Flowers releasing Bewildering Poison Mist in the Gloomy Marsh, but Haoyue devoured the mist and destroyed the flowers. After clearing the path, Haoyue returned to Long Haochen for help, and Long Haochen vanished with it, leaving the others to wait.

• Long Haochen stopped the squad from retreating when Haoyue appeared and charged into the poisonous mist to absorb it.
• Haoyue devoured the Bewildering Poison Mist, and the energy it absorbed also increased Long Haochen’s spiritual energy.
• Holy Guard Twelve identified the plants as Devil Man-eating Flowers and explained the danger of their poison mist.
• Haoyue’s purple light caused the Devil Man-eating Flowers to wither, and it destroyed every flower in their path.
• After the final flower was consumed, Haoyue returned to Long Haochen whimpering, and he told his companions to wait before disappearing with Haoyue.

Haoyue evolved into an eighth-level Magic Beast, grew a fifth head and wings, and entered the Completion Stage, while Long Haochen gained a surge of Spiritual Power. The group returned from Haoyue’s native world and climbed onto its back, where Haoyue’s fifth head focused on the Boa Core around Lin Xin’s neck.

• Long Haochen accompanied Haoyue to its native world as it rapidly grew a fifth head and a pair of wings.

• Haoyue’s fifth head turned toward Lin Xin and growled at the Boa Core around his neck.

Haoyue used its newly born poison-attributed fifth head, Little Purple, to clear the toxic fog as the Marshal Grade Sixty-Fourth Demon Hunter Squad traveled deeper into the Gloomy Marsh. At a clear lake, an unknown creature ambushed Haoyue and Long Haochen, and the chapter ended with the squad seeing the attackers but not recognizing them.

• Little Purple dispersed the poisonous fog around Haoyue and dissolved the vines blocking their path as the squad advanced through the swamp.
• Haoyue carried the recovered squad deeper into the Gloomy Marsh, where it stopped warily beside a small, clear lake.
• Cai'er sensed danger, and a sudden flash from the lake cut into Haoyue's right foreleg.
• Long Haochen leaped from Haoyue and used Demon Extermination Flash to block a volley of nearly a hundred fast-moving attacks.
• Haoyue took flight and blasted the lake with the breaths of its five heads, while Yating used the Holy Guiding Spirit Furnace to pull Long Haochen clear of the attackers.
• The explosions drove the attackers into the air, revealing unfamiliar Magic Beasts that the squad could not identify.

Long Haochen and his companions encountered a school of Sawfish, ancient eighth-level Magic Beasts with fused wind and spatial attributes, while crossing Gloomy Marsh. After the Sawfish pursued them, Long Haochen brought everyone to safety in the Tower of Eternity and learned more about the creatures.

• Haoyue attacked the Sawfish, and Long Haochen summoned Holy Guard Eleven and another Holy Guard to identify them as supposedly extinct ancient Magic Beasts.
• Holy Guard Eleven explained the Sawfish's strength, their group tactics, and their inability to fly as their chief weakness.
• The Sawfish formed silver defenses that resisted Haoyue's attacks and cleansed the poisoned lake, then pursued Haoyue when Long Haochen tried to fly away.
• Long Haochen took his companions into the Tower of Eternity, escaping the Sawfish and giving the group a chance to rest.
• Long Haochen questioned the Holy Guards and learned that Sawfish horns made powerful spatial weapons and their bodies held valuable materials.

Long Haochen and his companions planned to hunt ordinary sawfish while avoiding the powerful Sawfish King, then he brought them to the Tower of Eternity to challenge the Green Skeleton and strengthen their team. The chapter ended as Long Haochen and the skeleton launched matching backstabs.

• The Holy Guards explained that sawfish possessed valuable purifying cores and horns, but were dangerous and might be led by a powerful Sawfish King.
• Wang Yuanyuan became eager to obtain a sawfish horn, and Long Haochen agreed to consider hunting sawfish only if the team could do so safely.
• Long Haochen led the team to rest and plan, setting ordinary sawfish as their target and preparing for the possibility of a Sawfish King.
• Long Haochen brought his companions to the second floor of the Tower of Eternity and approached the Green Skeleton, hoping to recruit it to counter the sawfish's speed.
• The Green Skeleton attacked Long Haochen from behind, and Long Haochen countered with a matching reverse-grip backstab.

Long Haochen subdued the Green Skeleton, Holy Guard Ten, and recovered the resurrected Blue Rain, Lotus of Light. He decided to continue toward the second floor’s final trial, hoping to recruit Holy Guard Nine before facing Serpent Demon God Andomali.

• Long Haochen used his Sword Intent and Light Rain Twin Dragon Pull to restrain the Green Skeleton without seriously injuring it.

• Long Haochen flew onward with both legendary swords and felt his understanding of Sword Intent had advanced.

Long Haochen and his companions faced Holy Guard Nine, whose Gravity Spell threatened to drag them off the second floor of the Tower of Eternity. Cai'er ignored the gravity and struck him down with the Scythe of Death, after which Holy Guard Nine submitted to Long Haochen and entered the Eternal Melody to recover.

• Holy Guard Nine used a powerful Gravity Spell that pulled Long Haochen, Haoyue, and the others downward while rapidly draining their spiritual energy.
• Long Haochen told Haoyue to take the group back to the first floor, but Cai'er flew toward Holy Guard Nine, unaffected by the gravity.
• Cai'er tore through Holy Guard Nine's defenses with the Scythe of Death, and the gravity vanished as he crumbled into yellow dust.
• The Tower of Eternity re-formed Holy Guard Nine, whose injuries remained severe, and he declared his willingness to serve Long Haochen.
• Holy Guard Nine entered the Eternal Melody, where he began absorbing its stored energy to repair himself.

Cai'er defeated Holy Guard Nine with the first strike of her Seven Absolutes of Death, and Long Haochen warned her that using the power again could cost her six senses. After passing the second floor, the group reached Sawfish Lake and prepared a coordinated operation, while Holy Guard Ten began drawing out the Sawfish.

• Cai'er named her attack Death's Sorrow, and Long Haochen cautioned her against using the Seven Absolutes of Death except as a last resort.
• The statue announced that Cai'er had passed the trial, opened a passage to the third floor, and promised no further rewards before the sixth floor.
• Long Haochen's group returned to Gloomy Marsh and dispersed through the poisonous fog, with Holy Guard Ten flying off under Long Haochen's instructions.
• Long Haochen, Cai'er, Sima Xian, Wang Yuanyuan, and Holy Guards Eleven and Twelve took positions above Sawfish Lake as the Sawfish settled for the evening.
• Holy Guard Ten approached the lakeshore in concealment and sent two green rays into a whirlwind over the lake.

Long Haochen, Sima Xian, and Wang Yuanyuan ambushed the sawfish pack after Holy Guard Ten lured many of them away, killing more than a dozen before retreating. As they fled, a Sawfish King emerged and began pursuing them with terrifying spatial powers.

• Holy Guard Ten drew more than a hundred sawfish away from their habitat with a series of evasive maneuvers before speeding off.
• Long Haochen and his companions launched a surprise attack, using Yating's Meteor of Light and their weapons to blast apart the returning sawfish.
• Sima Xian and Wang Yuanyuan followed up with powerful attacks, killing more than a dozen sawfish while Soul Chain shared the impact damage among the group.
• As more sawfish arrived and Meteor of Light faded, Long Haochen ordered a retreat and collected the slain sawfish with white light.
• A silver Sawfish King appeared, teleported hundreds of meters in an instant, and turned the surrounding poisonous mist silver as it pursued the escaping group.

Long Haochen’s group used a coordinated ambush and Lin Xin’s Blue Fire Phoenix Spirit Furnace to damage the sawfish habitat and escape the Sawfish King. As they attempted to teleport to the Tower of Eternity, the Sawfish King caught up, but Haoyue’s attack stalled it long enough for everyone to vanish.

• The Sawfish King abandoned its pursuit of Long Haochen’s group when it sensed danger to its habitat and rushed back toward the lake.
• Lin Xin unleashed the Blue Fire Phoenix Spirit Furnace into the lake, boiling away a third of its water and forcing the Sawfish King to stay behind.

• Long Haochen began teleporting everyone to the Tower of Eternity, but the Sawfish King suddenly appeared near them.
• Haoyue struck the Sawfish King with Five-Attribute Chaos Elemental Stripping, giving Long Haochen and his companions time to disappear in the golden teleportation light.

After narrowly escaping the Sawfish King, Long Haochen blamed himself for putting his companions in danger and led them back into the Gloomy Marsh after three days of rest. The Mirror Treasure Divine Pig then sensed a treasure nearby, leaving Long Haochen and his team poised to investigate.

• The Sawfish King pursued Long Haochen's team through space, but Haoyue's five-attribute Chaos Elemental Stripping bought them time to escape to the Tower of Eternity.
• Long Haochen apologized for risking the team and excluded himself from the gains, while his companions reassured him; the team rested for three days.
• Long Haochen teleported back into the Gloomy Marsh alone, traveled beyond the Sawfish territory, and then summoned his companions to recover on Haoyue's back.
• The Mirror Treasure Divine Pig began glowing, and Chen Ying'er said it had sensed something good in the direction she pointed.

Long Haochen took Chen Ying'er and McDull toward a treasure that could also be Serpent Demon God Andomali’s target, bringing Holy Guard Ten to protect them. After they found a Serpent Demon Tribesman guarding the area, Long Haochen prepared to have Holy Guard Ten clear the way while he watched for danger.

• Long Haochen decided to investigate the treasure with Chen Ying'er and McDull after the team recovered, and he let Cai'er join the expedition after she insisted.
• Long Haochen, Chen Ying'er, and Holy Guard Ten teleported into Gloomy Marsh and flew close to the ground toward McDull’s sensed location.

• Long Haochen summoned Holy Guard Twelve to protect Chen Ying'er, then prepared to have Holy Guard Ten clear away the Serpent Demon guards.

Long Haochen observed Serpent Demon God Andomali's assault on the Anaconda King through Holy Guard Ten's perception. As the battle continued, an unseen blue figure began silently killing Andomali's scouts around the battlefield.

• Long Haochen used Holy Guard Ten to survey the swamp and the fierce battle between Andomali's serpent demons and the anacondas.
• Andomali's Demon God Pillar strengthened his outnumbering forces, while the Anaconda King held back despite its superior strength.
• Andomali recalled his failed attempts to seize the anacondas' guarded treasure and explained why he had brought his Demon God Pillar and Medusas for this attack.
• A blue figure appeared at the battlefield's edge and silently killed the serpent demon scouts stationed around the perimeter.

Long Haochen secretly eliminated the Serpent Demon scouts and prepared to ambush Andomali while the Serpent Demon army fought the swamp anacondas. The Boa King led a counterattack, but Medusa petrification turned the battle against the anacondas as Long Haochen continued to wait for his chance.

• Long Haochen used Holy Guard Ten to kill every Serpent Demon scout around the battlefield without alerting Andomali.
• Long Haochen sent Chen Ying'er and McDull back, then concealed himself near the battlefield to scout Andomali and the fighting forces.
• Long Haochen watched the anacondas retreat under the Serpent Demons' attacks and noticed a vine-covered cave behind the Boa King.
• The Boa King ordered a coordinated assault that blasted more than fifty Serpent Demons away and forced the survivors back.
• Andomali's four Medusa petrified three retreating anacondas, which the Serpent Demons then smashed, while the tallest Medusa targeted the Boa King.

Long Haochen watched Serpent Demon God Andomali activate Demon God Transformation and clash with the Boa King, learning how the Demon God Pillar amplified a Demon God’s power. The battle remained unresolved as Andomali ordered his surviving snake demons to withdraw.

• Long Haochen recognized that the Medusas were a serious threat and hid while Andomali and the Boa King prepared to fight.
• Andomali merged with the Seventy-Second Demon God Pillar, entering Demon God Transformation and gaining Ninth Tier-level External Spiritual Power.
