Chapter Summaries

Xiao Chen returned from Blood Corpse Mountain with proof that he had killed the Blackblood Antfiend swarm and the Mountain Devouring Demon Tiger, leaving Bai Hong convinced that an unseen expert backed him. Xiao Chen learned the tiger’s core could not earn merit points and asked for missions that would strengthen his body and innate bones.

• Bai Hong warned Xiao Chen and Meng Qiuhan that Blood Corpse Mountain had killed every Treasure Devourer who accepted the Blood Refinement Flowers mission.
• Xiao Chen showed Bai Hong a pile of Blackblood Antfiend Demon Cores, and Meng Qiuhan confirmed that Xiao Chen had killed the swarm alone.
• Bai Hong assumed a powerful expert protected Xiao Chen and offered to treat the supposed expert’s injuries.
• Xiao Chen revealed the Mountain Devouring Demon Tiger’s Demon Core, startling Bai Hong and prompting him to suspect a King Realm expert was behind Xiao Chen.
• Bai Hong told Xiao Chen that the tiger’s core was not a mission item, and Xiao Chen asked about missions for strengthening his body and innate bones.

Xiao Chen learned about the dangerous Black Rank mission to retrieve Blood Refinement Fruit from Blood Corpse Mountain’s second peak, but he lacked the rank to accept it. He then accompanied Meng Hanqiu to hand in a mission, leaving the rat-eyed clerk shocked that she might have completed the supposedly impossible Blood Refinement Flowers mission.

• Bai Hong told Xiao Chen that Blood Refinement Fruit could strengthen his physique and innate bones, but it grew on Blood Corpse Mountain’s second peak, guarded by a hundred thousand corpse soldiers and possibly a Demon King.
• Xiao Chen insisted he was confident and claimed powerful people stood behind him, while Meng Hanqiu warned him that the second peak could get him killed.
• Xiao Chen discovered that the Blood Refinement Fruit mission was Black Rank and that he was ninety-five merit points short of qualifying to accept it.
• Meng Hanqiu questioned Xiao Chen about his boast as Treasure Devouring Hall members jealously watched them speak.
• Meng Hanqiu led Xiao Chen to a counter to hand in a mission, and the rat-eyed clerk reminded her that the only mission she had accepted from him was the deadly Blood Refinement Flowers mission.

Meng Hanqiu and Xiao Chen turned in the Blood Refinement Flowers mission, earning merit points despite others doubting Xiao Chen’s contribution. Xiao Chen returned to his courtyard and began consuming the flowers to strengthen his Body Core.

• Meng Hanqiu handed the Blood Refinement Flowers to the rat-eyed youth, who confirmed the mission and awarded her ten merit points and Xiao Chen five.
• Meng Hanqiu refused to sell any extra flowers after Xiao Chen signaled her, leading the rat-eyed youth to suspect Xiao Chen had some.
• Xiao Chen returned to his courtyard, told Qian Wandai he had completed the mission, and entered a hidden cultivation chamber beneath his room.
• Xiao Chen summoned twenty-two Blood Refinement Flowers and, following Lord Yellow’s advice, ate one.
• The flower’s blood vitality surged through Xiao Chen and gathered in his dantian, where the Kunpeng Body Core absorbed it.

Xiao Chen absorbed all twenty-two Blood Refinement Flowers, strengthening his Kunpeng Body Core and physical power as his deadline to defeat Huang Yelang approached. When Huang Yushu, a collateral branch member of the Huang Family, demanded the flowers at a vastly unfair price, Qian Wandai reminded him that Xiao Chen had killed a direct descendant of the family.

• Xiao Chen swallowed the Blood Refinement Flowers one after another, increasing his Kunpeng Body Core's brightness and making his vitality and blood powerful enough to shake the secret chamber.
• After refining all twenty-two flowers, Xiao Chen saw that the gap between his Kunpeng Body Core and Extinction Dao Sword Core had narrowed, then decided to seek Blood Refinement Fruit on Blood Corpse Mountain.
• Xiao Chen left his room and found Qian Wandai beaten by Zhang Youde and Huang Yushu.
• Huang Yushu demanded that Xiao Chen sell him every Blood Refinement Flower for one thousand Low-Grade Spirit Stones each, while Zhang Youde boasted of Huang Yushu's family connections.
• Qian Wandai told Zhang Youde that Xiao Chen had already killed a direct descendant of the Huang Family, leaving Zhang Youde stunned.

Xiao Chen defeated Zhang Youde and Huang Yushu after they tried to seize the Blood Refinement Flowers and insulted him. Once Huang Yushu recognized Xiao Chen as a Dragon Seedling, he apologized, and Qian Wandai prepared to make him pay.

• Huang Yushu demanded the Blood Refinement Flowers and forced Xiao Chen and Qian Wandai to kneel and kowtow after dismissing the report that Huang Chenglong and Huang Shou had died.
• Zhang Youde rushed at Xiao Chen, who knocked him away with one punch and left him badly injured.
• Huang Yushu charged Xiao Chen with his full strength, but Xiao Chen sent him flying with a casual punch.
• Qian Wandai told Huang Yushu that Xiao Chen had nearly defeated Huang Yelang, prompting Huang Yushu to recognize Xiao Chen as the peerless Dragon Seedling.
• Huang Yushu apologized to Xiao Chen, and Qian Wandai asked whether he wanted to live or die before saying he needed to borrow something from him.

Xiao Chen collected compensation from Huang Yushu and accepted Meng Hanqiu’s offer to join a mission against a Demon nest near Hundred Mountains City. He learned that the mission could earn them half of a low-grade spirit vein, but the Demons’ strength remained uncertain.

• Huang Yushu paid Xiao Chen thirty thousand Low-Grade Spirit Stones for the damage and injuries, then fled after Xiao Chen let him go.
• Xiao Chen offered Qian Wandai some Spirit Notes, but Qian Wandai refused them, and Xiao Chen returned to cultivation after eating.
• Meng Hanqiu arrived late at night and told Xiao Chen about a Demon nest near Hundred Mountains City that had killed several thousand people in a month.
• Meng Hanqiu explained that the city lord, Liu Da, had retreated into his residence instead of protecting the commoners, while the Demon nest’s strength was believed not to exceed the King Realm.
• Xiao Chen asked about the mission reward, and Meng Hanqiu said they would receive half of a low-grade spirit vein.

Xiao Chen joined Meng Hanqiu on a mission to eliminate the Demons threatening Hundred Mountains City and claim a low-grade spirit vein. After they arrived, Xiao Chen promised the frightened residents that the demon calamity would be over within two days.

• Meng Hanqiu told Xiao Chen the mission offered the spirit vein and ten merit points, and he agreed to leave at dawn.
• Bai Hong assigned Meng Hanqiu the mission, prompting Treasure Devourers across Green Maple City to react with excitement and scorn.
• Xiao Chen and Meng Hanqiu flew to Hundred Mountains City, where the guards described the Demons and led them toward the City Lord's Manor.
• Residents doubted that the young Treasure Devourers could help and feared angering them, but Xiao Chen reassured an elderly man and promised to end the demon calamity in two days.

Xiao Chen and Meng Qiuhan visited Liu Da to learn about the demons threatening Hundred Mountains City, while the city lord dismissed their ability to help. Liu Da recognized that Butler Lu was likely the Azure Wolf King and became terrified as the disguised demon directed the pair toward its lair.

• The townspeople doubted Xiao Chen's claim that he and Meng Qiuhan could defeat the ancient demons, though Uncle Zhang wondered if they might bring a miracle.
• Xiao Chen and Meng Qiuhan arrived at Liu Da's lavish manor and waited while the city lord delayed in his drunken revelry.
• Liu Da warned Xiao Chen and Meng Qiuhan to leave, but Xiao Chen challenged his contempt by displaying his formidable blood and vitality.
• Butler Lu urged Liu Da to share information, and Liu Da recognized a dark gleam in the steward's eyes and abruptly changed his attitude.
• Butler Lu described the demons and gave Xiao Chen and Meng Qiuhan the location of the Azure Wolf King's cave; Liu Da suspected Butler Lu was the Azure Wolf King in disguise.
• Xiao Chen noticed Liu Da trembling and asked why he was so afraid of Butler Lu.

Xiao Chen exposed the Azure Wolf King disguised as Butler Lu and learned that the demon had eaten Liu Da’s son. After Xiao Chen severed the Azure Wolf King’s arm, someone suddenly interrupted as Xiao Chen was about to say what he wanted.

• Xiao Chen recognized Butler Lu as the Azure Wolf King and attacked, forcing the demon to reveal its true form.
• The Azure Wolf King admitted that it had eaten Liu Da’s youngest son, leaving Liu Da devastated and too frightened to resist.
• The Azure Wolf King demanded that Xiao Chen go with it, and Xiao Chen cut off one of its arms with a sword strike.
• The wounded Azure Wolf King offered to leave peacefully, but Xiao Chen refused to be intimidated by its wolf demons.
• Just as Xiao Chen began to state what he wanted, someone suddenly shouted at the Azure Wolf King and vowed to kill it.

Liu Da killed the Azure Wolf King before Xiao Chen could question it, but gave Xiao Chen a booklet revealing that the spirit vein lay beneath the Purple Scale Jiao Dragon’s lair. Xiao Chen carried the wolf’s corpse to Hundred Mountains City’s gate, urged the people to wait two days while he dealt with the demons, and drew the furious attention of demons outside the city.

• Liu Da hacked the Azure Wolf King to death to avenge his son, then gave Xiao Chen a booklet detailing nearby demon lairs and forces.

• At the city gate, Xiao Chen set down the corpse and promised the people that no demons would trouble Hundred Mountains City after two days if they trusted him and waited.
• Dozens of demons in the forest outside the city saw the Azure Wolf King’s corpse and roared in fury.

Xiao Chen faced nearly a hundred Grandmaster Realm azure wolves attacking Hundred Mountains City and slaughtered the pack alone. As the last wolves fled and Xiao Chen pursued them, the guard commander wondered why Liu Da had not come to help.

• The Azure Wolf leader ordered the pack to attack Hundred Mountains City and avenge the Azure Wolf King.
• Meng Qiuhan entered the city, ordered the gates closed, and had the aerial defense formation activated while Xiao Chen stayed outside.

• The guard commander asked why Liu Da had not come to the city gate.

Xiao Chen wiped out the Azure Wolf Clan and returned to Hundred Mountains City, where he promised to stay until he killed the Violet Scale Jiaolong. He gave the demon wolf meat to the starving residents and discussed the remaining demons with Meng Qiuhan.

• The guard commander warned that the Azure Wolf Clan's destruction could provoke its three elder brothers and master, recalling that a Half-King Realm expert had once returned from the mountain in fear.

Xiao Chen decided to cultivate before hunting the Flood Dragon transforming into a dragon, while Liu Da learned that Xiao Chen had single-handedly destroyed the Azure Wolf Clan. Liu Da feared the other Demon Kings would retaliate and urgently sought reinforcements for Hundred Mountains City.
