Chapter Summaries

Long Haochen and the Dawn of Light Demon Hunter Squad used Chen Ying'er's summoned beasts to disrupt the Bull Demon Race army, drawing Dragon Rider Demon God Asmodeus into battle. After Asmodeus overwhelmed Long Haochen with a probing strike, Long Haochen put away his shield and met the Demon God's next attack with his sword.

• Asmodeus assessed the summoned Magic Beasts, while the Evil Eye Lord killed hundreds of Bull Demons with a spiritual attack before retreating toward the slope.
• Asmodeus attacked the fleeing Evil Eye Lord, but a golden light pulled it away and Long Haochen appeared on Star King to block the black skull.
• The chapter revealed that Chen Ying'er had summoned more than five hundred Magic Beasts through eighteen Gates of All Spirits, tying down the Devil Race army.

• As Asmodeus swept his spear at Long Haochen again, Long Haochen put away his shield and raised Goddess of Light Aria to meet the blow.

Long Haochen used his defensive sword technique to hold off Dragon Rider Demon God Asmodeus, while his companions advanced through the Bull Demon ranks. The chapter left the clash in the air unresolved and revealed the group’s attack on the Devil Race camp.

• Long Haochen deflected Asmodeus’s sweeping attack with Goddess of Light Aria, wounded his fist with a thrust, and challenged him to a contest of martial skill.

• Several people emerged from beneath the remaining Magic Beasts, and the man with a blood-red heavy sword led an assault that tore into the Bull Demon ranks.
• Two powerful figures joined the assault, their silver and golden attacks cutting down Bull Demons.

Han Yu and the Dawn of Light Demon Hunter Squad stormed the Bull Demon army to rescue Yang Wenzhao and Duan Yi, while Cai'er freed the prisoners and escaped with them aboard McDull in his Heaven-Defying Demon Dragon form. Asmodeus tried to break away to respond, but Long Haochen revealed that he had awakened the seven-colored divine sword and forced the demon god to face him again.

• Cai'er carried Yang Wenzhao and Duan Yi onto McDull's back, and Han Yu's group joined them in the air as the Bull Demons struggled to respond.
• Asmodeus recognized the rescue as a diversion, struck Long Haochen with a pillar of black flame, and flew toward his army.
• Long Haochen cleaved through Asmodeus's attack with the newly seven-colored Goddess of Light Aria, keeping the Holy Guiding Spirit Furnace's pull active.
• Asmodeus turned back to face Long Haochen and declared that he would kill and bury him with respect.

After escaping Asmodeus, Long Haochen recovered from severe injuries in the Tower of Eternity while his companions tended to the rescued Yang Wenzhao and Duan Yi. Yang Wenzhao briefly awakened and confessed his feelings to Chen Ying'er, and Long Haochen and Cai'er shared their hopes for a peaceful future after the war.

• Long Haochen led the group more than a hundred li from Asmodeus, where Cai'er, Han Yu, Lin Xin, and the others helped him recover and treated Yang Wenzhao and Duan Yi.
• After Long Haochen regained enough strength, he teleported everyone to the Tower of Eternity, where he spent the next day recuperating from severe internal injuries.
• Yang Wenzhao awakened, mistook himself for a dying man, and told Chen Ying'er that he could not bear to leave her before passing out again.
• Lin Xin reassured Chen Ying'er that Yang Wenzhao would recover, and she stayed beside him as memories of their childhood returned.
• Long Haochen told Cai'er that he was nearly recovered, and she described how his care during the Holy War had made her fall in love with him again.
• Long Haochen and Cai'er imagined building a home and raising children together once the Devil Race no longer threatened the Alliance.

Long Haochen confirmed that the Demon God Emperor was using spiritual detection near Demon Extermination Pass and set out alone toward Devil Race territory to draw him away from the pass.

• Yang Wenzhao thanked Long Haochen for saving him, then said he planned to give his life to the Devil Race because he blamed himself for his companions’ deaths.

Long Haochen led the Dawn of Light Demon Hunter Squad on Haoyue in a conspicuous attack on the Leopard Demon Palace in Jialuo City, hoping to draw the Demon God Emperor back. Haoyue’s spells failed to break the temple’s defensive barrier, so it unleashed a surge of purple power as it reached the palace.

• Long Haochen summoned Haoyue in Jialuo Province, and the six-headed beast welcomed him before carrying the squad south at great speed.
• Long Haochen explained that the squad wanted the Devil Race to spot them and ordered them to attack the Demon God Temple in Jialuo City without leaving its grounds.
• Haoyue and Little Green flew the squad to Jialuo City, where Long Haochen identified the Leopard Demon Palace as their target.
• Haoyue killed the Greater Leopard Demons that rose to investigate and bombarded the palace, but its black defensive barrier withstood the attacks.
• As Haoyue dived toward the palace, it roared and sent a layer of purple power into the barrier.

Haoyue smashed into the Leopard Demon Palace and devastated its main hall with six-element magic, while Long Haochen and the Dawn of Light Demon Hunter Squad prepared to fight the defenders. After Long Haochen killed an eighth-step Golden Leopard Demon, he stopped Haoyue from unleashing a draining attack and led the squad into battle against the surrounding Leopard Demons.

• Haoyue broke through the Leopard Demon Palace's barrier and roof, then bombarded its main hall with magic from all six heads.

• Long Haochen intercepted an eighth-step Golden Leopard Demon's attack on Little Light and killed it with Goddess of Light Aria.
• More Golden Leopard Demons entered the hall and surrounded Long Haochen and the others as Haoyue began preparing Chaos Elemental Stripping.
• Long Haochen stopped Haoyue from unleashing the attack, then jumped down and charged the Leopard Demons as Wang Yuanyuan, Sima Xian, Zhang Fangfang, Han Yu, and Cai'er joined him.

Long Haochen and his companions launched a coordinated assault on the Leopard Demons inside the ruined hall, with Haoyue strengthening them and weakening their enemies. They left the Leopard Demon ranks in chaos as each fighter unleashed their formidable abilities.

• Osei summoned the Leopard Demon Pillar as Chen Ying'er began preparing to stop other beasts from interfering.
• Osei roared and transformed, growing beyond three meters as his dark-red flames erupted.

• Long Haochen’s shield held against the flames, and Wang Yuanyuan struck Osei with a Dimensional Storm that opened a bloody gash across his back.

The Dawn of Light Demon Hunter Squad wounded Leopard Demon God Osei with a coordinated assault, but he began the Heavenly Demon Disintegration Technique. Long Haochen charged forward to hold him back and give his companions time to retreat.

• Bloody Storm evolved after Wang Yuanyuan wounded Osei, and Han Yu and Zhang Fangfang struck him with their shields.
• Sima Xian's Light Great Strength Pill immobilized Osei long enough for Cai'er, Lin Xin, Wang Yuanyuan, and Long Haochen to land powerful attacks.
• Osei suffered severe wounds, lost his Demon God Transformation, and fell to one knee as the squad's Life Sharing spread the backlash among them.

• Long Haochen warned his companions and charged at Osei with the Sun Moon Divine Snail Shield to buy them time to withdraw.

Long Haochen and the Dawn of Light Demon Hunter Squad defeated Leopard Demon God Osei when Haoyue’s purple power extinguished his Heavenly Demon Disintegration Technique. They regrouped and charged toward the Leopard Demon Pillar, where Han Yu and Zhang Fangfang intercepted two Golden Leopard Demons.

• Long Haochen realized he could not gather his scattered companions to escape and prepared to face Osei’s final attack alone.
• Haoyue’s purple halo extinguished Osei’s demonic flames, killed him, and caused his Demon God’s Crown to fall; Little Fire swallowed the crown.

• Haoyue charged through the palace to the rear courtyard, where two Golden Leopard Demons attacked.
• Han Yu and his Evil Eye Lord engaged one Golden Leopard Demon while Zhang Fangfang struck the other with a flaming blade and shielded Haoyue’s flank.

The Dawn of Light Demon Hunter Squad reached the Leopard Demon God's Demon God Pillar, where Haoyue empowered Long Haochen for an unknown purpose.

• Zhang Fangfang trapped the Golden Leopard Demon in Sacred Fire Cage and used Judgment of Light to transform it into Sacred Fire Judgment.
• Zhang Fangfang and Han Yu held back the two Golden Leopard Demons as Haoyue led the squad into a hall containing the Leopard Demon God's Demon God Pillar.
• Haoyue's six heads released a powerful purple aura that suppressed the Demon God Pillar and stirred Long Haochen's power through their blood bond.
• Haoyue asked Long Haochen to act, then poured purple radiance into him until Long Haochen felt transformed and his senses expanded dramatically.

Long Haochen absorbed Haoyue’s Destructive Intent and shattered the Leopard Demon God’s Demon God Pillar, then underwent a mysterious transformation. Haoyue departed after promising through Little Light that it would always protect him, and the Dawn of Light Squad turned to interrogating Sima Xian about his wife.

• Haoyue poured Destructive Intent into Long Haochen, who struck the fifty-seventh Demon God Pillar with the Goddess of Light Aria and shattered it.
• Little Light carried the unconscious Long Haochen away with the Dawn of Light Squad, and Haoyue landed in a valley to wait for his transformation to finish.

• Sima Xian bragged that his wife had money, prompting the squad to demand an explanation.
• Sima Xian began explaining by asking whether they remembered Little White Flower from the Holy City.

Sima Xian told his companions how he and Feng Ling'er fell in love during the Holy War and how she helped improve his equipment. The group learned that his Light Great Strength Pill and Crimson Dragon Armor strengthened his abilities and reduced the backlash from his spirit furnace.

• Lin Xin, Wang Yuanyuan, and Chen Ying'er were shocked when Sima Xian revealed that Feng Ling'er was his Little White Flower.
• Sima Xian explained that he and Feng Ling'er began exchanging letters while he fought at Zhennan Pass, and that her messages gave him something to live for.
• Sima Xian recounted how Feng Ling'er visited the battlefield, defended their relationship from a female mage, and saw him take a Wolf Demon’s strike to protect her.
• Sima Xian showed the group his reforged Light Great Strength Pill, which Feng Ling'er had equipped with rare lightning magic crystals and a powerful magic array.
• Long Haochen deduced that Sima Xian’s Purple Illusion Divine Thunder Spirit Furnace had evolved and that his other Epic Equipment reduced its backlash.
• Sima Xian revealed his Crimson Dragon Armor, which filtered most of the backlash, and said his External Spiritual Power had reached roughly thirty or forty thousand.

After destroying a Demon God Pillar at Jialuo City, Long Haochen proposed infiltrating Demon Capital Heart City to attack the weakened Star Demon God Vasak. His companions considered the plan’s dangers, and Cai'er raised questions about overcoming the Star Demon Race’s defenses and finding Vasak in seclusion.

• Long Haochen studied the map with his companions and explained that they needed to move unpredictably after their victory at Jialuo City.
• Long Haochen argued that Moonlit Night’s information about Vasak’s weakened condition could make the Star Demon God vulnerable to an attack.
• Long Haochen estimated that more than twenty ninth-step Devil Race powerhouses remained in Heart City but said the Demon Capital’s reduced defenses and their enemies’ surprise could create an opening.
• Cai'er understood that the group could attack Vasak and escape with Eternal Melody, then hide in the Tower of Eternity.
• Cai'er asked how they could overcome the Star Demon Race’s guards and locate Vasak if he remained hidden in secluded cultivation.

Long Haochen proposed infiltrating Demon Capital Heart City to destroy Star Demon God's Demon God Pillar, with attacking Andu Province as a safer alternative. His companions unanimously supported the riskier plan, and they began preparing to analyze it carefully.

• Long Haochen explained how they could distract the Devil Race by attacking the Moon Demon Palace, contact Moonlit Night, and target the Star Demon God's Demon God Pillar instead of trying to kill Vasak.
• Long Haochen offered attacking Andu Province as a safer alternative, though it risked drawing the Demon God Emperor's attention and would be less damaging to the Devil Race.
• Sima Xian, Wang Yuanyuan, Lin Xin, Cai'er, and Chen Ying'er each supported infiltrating Demon Capital Heart City despite the danger.
• Han Yu and Zhang Fangfang also pledged to follow Long Haochen and Wang Yuanyuan, leaving the group unanimously in favor of the Demon Capital plan.
• Long Haochen accepted their decision and called for a thorough analysis and preparations for the worst.
