• Li Qing feared the Formless Sage Ancestor’s decree and resolved to raise his strength rather than rely on others or remain in the Human Realm.
• He used Heaven and Earth Spirit Fire to cleanse Origin Demonic Energy from three ancient devil bodies, then fed their refined essence blood to the Blood Lotus.

• Li Qing agreed to visit the island if he was still alive in a month, then put away the letter and focused on the Demon Nest in the Qingling Region.

Li Qing killed Jiaoli after witnessing him slaughter a mortal town, then used the Myriad Flames Burn Heaven Formation to weaken the four ancient demons in the Demon Nest. As the formation withdrew, he unleashed his Wood Spirit Puppet to suppress the three survivors.

He accompanied the flood dragon kings to the treasury to prepare for crafting the Azure Dragon Mace and learned how Spirit Treasures were graded.

• The Black Flood Dragon King escorted Li Qing to the Undersea Dragon Palace, where Li Qing rested and recovered his spiritual power.

Li Qing refined an Azure Dragon Mace for the Azure Flood Dragon King using Flood Dragon Horns, Sea Heart Crystal, and Azure Cloud Spirit Gold. The mace completed its forging and began facing a fierce heavenly tribulation, leaving its survival uncertain.

• Li Qing chose Azure Cloud Spirit Gold as the mace's supplementary material and began refining in the Azure Flood Dragon King's secluded retreat.
• Li Qing used his Profound Yellow True Flame and One Furnace Nourishes All Spirits Method to shape the three materials into an Azure Dragon Mace, then tempered it and inscribed Dao patterns.

• The Azure Flood Dragon King, Li Qing, and the Black Flood Dragon King watched as the Azure Dragon Mace flew into a sea of lightning and endured successive strikes.
• The lightning dimmed the Azure Dragon Mace's treasure light but branded it with heavenly tribulation Dao patterns as the tribulation continued.

Li Qing completed the Azure Dragon Mace, proving his fifth-rank artifact-refining skill and earning the Azure Flood Dragon King’s friendship and a rare Source Dragon Fruit. After absorbing the fruit and strengthening his cultivation, Li Qing agreed to travel with the Black Flood Dragon King to Heavenly Pole Island for the Myriad Treasures Merchant Guild’s invitation, while the Crimson Flood Dragon King regarded him with hostility.

• The Crimson Flood Dragon King revealed that the Azure Dragon Mace had been made using the horns of their brother, who died during an attempt to reach Spirit Transformation, making Li Qing wary of the Azure Flood Dragon King.

• Li Qing asked Zhiyang where True Lord Tai Xuan was, and Zhiyang told him that the Devil Race had captured his master.

Li Qing attended the Myriad Treasures Merchant Guild’s conference, where cultivators divided responsibility for sealing the lower realm’s Space Rifts with formation discs.

• Three Spirit Transformation ancient devils and countless Nascent Soul Realm devils appeared around Heavenly Pole Island, leaving Li Qing and the assembled cultivators stunned and terrified.

• A fourth Spirit Transformation stage ancient demon from the Crystal Demon Tribe joined the attack, cracking the formation’s barrier.
• Wan Shengtian called on Azure Flood Dragon and the cultivators of Mingwang Valley to join the battle.

The Mingwang Valley Lord and Azure Flood Dragon King arrived to reinforce Heavenly Pole Island and began overpowering their ancient demon opponents.

• Li Qing stopped powering the formation and hid inside an ancient forge as the island split apart and its cultivators fled.

After Heavenly Pole Island collapsed and the Nascent Soul cultivators were trapped by the Five Elements Spirit Restraining Rings, Li Qing fled the ancient devils pursuing him. The Wind Guiding Mother-Child Talismans let the Winged Demon Tribe keep pace, and Li Qing ended the chapter surrounded by twenty-three enemies and badly wounded despite summoning his Dark Willow Spirit Puppet and Fire Extreme Dharma Body.

• Li Qing turned to attack the four pursuers, but all twenty-three ancient devils gathered and surrounded him.
• Li Qing summoned the Dark Willow Spirit Puppet, but the devils set it ablaze and a Nascent Soul Late Stage ancient devil struck him with the Demonic Origin Heart Devouring Hand.
• Li Qing activated his Fire Extreme Dharma Body as the ancient devils pressed their attack.

Li Qing broke the ancient devils’ suppression by exhausting his lifespan to empower his spirit fires and Wind Thunder Silver Wings, then killed all twenty-three with a poisoned blast and his hammer. Poisoned and ravaged by devilish qi, he flew toward the East Sea and asked the Profound Yellow True Flame to keep him alive until he returned to the sect.

• Twenty-three ancient devils suppressed Li Qing, leaving him near collapse as their devilish qi and pressure drained his strength.
• Li Qing spent Seven-Colored Vitality Essence and lifespan to empower the Wind Thunder Silver Wings and his three Heaven and Earth Spirit Fires, then killed three devils with a wind, lightning, and flame strike.

• Li Qing used the Blood Burning Secret Method and his Wind Thunder Silver Wings to pursue the weakened devils, killing the remaining ones with the Primordial Peerless Hammer.
• Li Qing collected twenty devil bodies and flew toward the East Sea as poison and devilish qi threatened his life; he asked the Profound Yellow True Flame to protect his heart meridians until he returned to the sect.

Li Qing swam to Sea Rift Valley to seek Devil Race corpses, hoping to restore his poisoned, failing body rather than abandon it. Meanwhile, Wan Shengtian, Nie Yuan, and the Azure Flood Dragon King searched for him and found a battlefield marked by poisonous miasma, while Li Qing eventually emerged from the sea and flew toward the Qingling Region.

• Li Qing used his spiritual sense to locate Sea Rift Valley through a Black-Shelled Golden Turtle, then swam into the deep-sea rift despite the Profound Yellow True Flame warning that poison threatened his heart meridians and Nascent Soul.
• Wan Shengtian and Nie Yuan regrouped with the Azure Flood Dragon King after the battle, lamenting that the winged ancient devil had escaped and noting their victory over a Spirit Transformation Crystal Demon Tribe member.
• The Azure Flood Dragon King asked Nie Yuan and Wan Shengtian to search for Li Qing, whose artifact-refinement skills made him valuable, while he went to find his wounded second brother.
• The three Spirit Transformation powers found jade-green poisonous miasma at a battlefield and debated whether Li Qing had died or been captured by the Devil Race.
• Li Qing emerged from the Eastern Sea, drenched and barely able to fly, and headed toward the Qingling Region.

Lingyun Sect prepared to defend itself as acquired devils ravaged Qingling Region, while Li Qing returned to his cave abode near death. The immortal sound and blood lotus helped him stabilize his vitality, but his poison and injuries remained severe.

• Xu Xia refused to counterattack the acquired devils and ordered the sect to await Wuji Ancestor's return, fearing ancient devils were watching Lingyun Sect.
• A disciple reported a tremendous boom at Qingyun Peak, and Xu Xia ordered everyone to keep the possible return of Wuji Ancestor secret before seeking the Supreme Elders.
• Li Qing reached his cave abode barely able to move, as devilish qi and poison overwhelmed his body and the Profound Yellow True Flame said it could do no more.
• As Li Qing's consciousness faded, Exquisite Immortal Sound revived him, and he threw Devil Race bodies into the blood pool to receive nourishment from the blood lotus.
• Li Qing used the Blood Burning Secret Method to awaken the Spirit Devouring Demonic Flame and slow the poison, then fed more ancient devil corpses to the blood pool until his vitality stabilized.
• Li Qing survived the immediate crisis but resolved to recover his magical power before slowly healing his injuries.

Li Qing used the blood lotus and Suxin’s Water Spirit Pearl to recover from his injuries and remove the Origin Demonic Energy. He then deliberately unleashed the poison in his body and began using the “Dao Tribulation Wuji Scripture” to temper himself, risking death in an attempt to become immune to poison.

• Li Qing fed ancient devil corpses to the blood lotus and tried to raise his cultivation, but the Origin Demonic Energy erupted and worsened his injuries.
• Wu Chong, Jiang Han, Chu Lingyi, Suxin, and other Lingyun Sect elders gathered outside Li Qing’s cave, where he reassured them and sent them away.
• Suxin entered Li Qing’s cave and used the Water Spirit Pearl to heal his injuries and purge the Origin Demonic Energy while Li Qing suppressed the poison with his three spirit fires.
• After Suxin left, Li Qing stopped suppressing the poison and circulated the “Dao Tribulation Wuji Scripture” to temper his body through its deadly assault.
• Li Qing began a perilous attempt to survive the poison tribulation and transform his body into one immune to all poisons.
