Chapter Summaries

Lou Wu was pursued after winning a rare artifact-refining material, but Li Yuanba rescued him and ordered him to carry out Sword Intent Soaring Pavilion's retaliation against the attacker’s sect. Meanwhile, Li Shiming began an attempt to refine a Flying Yaksha using the corpse of Half-Step Great Power Yang Xing.

• Lou Wu ran out of life-saving items and sent the Sword Intent Soaring Pavilion’s SOS signal as a Great Cultivator closed in on him.
• Li Yuanba saw the SOS with Divine Eye Art, appeared beside Lou Wu, and killed the Great Cultivator with a Wind Blade containing Chaos Sword Intent.
• Li Yuanba identified the dead cultivator as a member of Gen Mountain Gate and gave Lou Wu the sect token and Mustard Seed Ring to take back and use to issue an extermination mission.

• Li Shiming completed an extravagant Refining Corpse Grand Formation and placed Yang Xing’s corpse inside it to begin his Flying Yaksha experiment.

Li Shiming used Yang Xing’s corpse and modified blood to refine a powerful Fanged Corpse, whose unexpected abilities and rapid advancement brought on a severe Thunder Tribulation. The chapter ended as the Ninth Heavenly Tribulation Lightning struck and Fanged Corpse shielded its wounded body with its wings.

• Li Shiming covered Yang Xing’s corpse with two and a half billion Refining Corpse Talismans and placed it in the Refining Corpse Grand Formation.

• Fanged Corpse endured eight bolts of Heavenly Tribulation Lightning, rapidly healing between strikes as its injuries grew more severe.
• Li Shiming withdrew several thousand meters as the dark gold Ninth Heavenly Tribulation Lightning fell, and Fanged Corpse folded its wings around its wounded body.

Li Shiming’s Fanged Corpse survived the Ninth Heavenly Tribulation Lightning and reached a realm comparable to Half-Step Great Power, so he named it Thunder Duke and prepared to send it to Li Yuanba. After arranging Yin Shilan’s advancement at Luan Phoenix Palace, Li Shiming returned to refining corpses and began work on Lian Lei’s body.

• The Fanged Corpse redirected the Ninth Heavenly Tribulation Lightning through a Space Crack, survived the tribulation, and was transformed by the Heaven and Earth Reward.

A year later, he returned to Sword Intent Soaring Pavilion and agreed to guide his disciple Lou Wu, while Yin Shilan continued secluded cultivation toward Great Cultivator.

Li Yuanba disguised himself to compete for White Emperor Sect’s Great Cultivator Spirit Herbs, where he noticed that Great Cultivator Wei Lang seemed unusually confident. After Li Yuanba struck Wei Lang down, a hidden Half-Step Great Power sealed the void, revealing that Wei Lang had carried a Blessed Land Anchor Point Carrier aimed at him.

• Li Yuanba arrived at the Great Cultivator Resource Point in disguise and observed the cultivators gathered there, including Great Cultivator Wei Lang of Boundless Sect.

• Thunder Duke changed tactics and struck Zhao Zhao with lightning, filling the small blessed land with attacks while pursuing him through space.
• Li Yuanba activated the Thunder Sound Bell, and its rebounding sound began to shake Zhao Zhao’s soul while Thunder Duke remained unaffected.

Li Yuanba and Thunder Duke defeated Half-Step Great Power Zhao Zhao inside his Cave Heaven, and Li Yuanba secured its Heavenly Secret Treasure before the realm began to collapse. He then captured Great Cultivator Wei Lang’s Nascent Soul and found the White Emperor Sect’s resource point abandoned.

• Thunder Duke’s attacks and the Thunder Sound Bell slowed Zhao Zhao, while Zhao Zhao’s flames failed to penetrate Li Yuanba’s Eye of the Storm shield.

News of the kill spread, making Li Yuanba the most famous person beneath the Great Powers, and Sword Elder promised to negotiate with the other Great Powers and make Boundless Sect pay.

• Sword Elder told Li Yuanba to rest while he discussed the matter with the other Great Powers, and vowed that Boundless Sect would pay for sending Zhao Zhao.

Clone Li Yuanba delivered treasures and Zhao Zhao’s corpse to Li Shiming, who began refining the Boundless Immortal Fire and turned Zhao Zhao’s body into a new refined corpse. Li Shiming named it Red Devil and tested its abilities, discovering that its powerful flames made up for its lack of Thunder Duke’s spatial movement.

• Clone Li Yuanba left Sword Intent Soaring Pavilion, traveled to the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect, and handed Li Shiming Zhao Zhao’s corpse and several treasures, including the Northern Dipper Formation Diagram and the Boundless Flame Peak.

• Red Devil unleashed flames powerful enough to make Thunder Duke instinctively evade, and Li Shiming concluded that Red Devil fought like a mage while Thunder Duke fought like an assassin.

Li Shiming strengthened Red Devil with Boundless Flame Peak and claimed Zhao Zhao’s Absolute Flame Spirit Gourd, while Li Yuanba received compensation and secret cultivation materials from the Central Continent’s super forces. The chapter left Li Yuanba preparing to study their classics and take missions on the outer continents, with Sword Elder’s protection if he encountered a Great Power.

• Li Shiming gave Red Devil permission to wield Boundless Flame Peak, boosting its power enough to threaten an ordinary Half-Step Great Power, then sent it to support Li Yuanba.
• Li Shiming mastered Zhao Zhao’s Absolute Flame Spirit Gourd, which held powerful flames and could store Boundless Immortal Fire to help refine it.
• Red Devil met Li Yuanba over the Central Continent’s ocean, and Li Yuanba took it and Boundless Flame Peak back to Sword Intent Soaring Pavilion.

• Sword Elder gave Li Yuanba the Flame Refining Secret Technique and a Sword Token, warned him to act cautiously on the outer continents, and advised him to study the super forces’ classics in person.

Li Yuanba visited the Central Continent’s super forces to study methods of advancing to Half-Step Great Power, then overcame Boundless Sect’s attempt to obstruct him and returned to seclusion. Three years later, Yin Shilan broke through to Great Cultivator, and Li Yuanba escorted her safely home to reunite with Li Shiming.

• Li Yuanba visited six super forces and studied their texts on advancing to Half-Step Great Power before entering Boundless Sect last.
• Boundless Sect’s Great Cultivator gave Li Yuanba twelve double-hours to search a Library Pavilion, but Li Yuanba used IBMz15 to copy over one hundred thousand Jade Slips and locate all 130 relevant classics.

• Yin Shilan flew to Li Shiming’s cave dwelling, and the two embraced as she returned home.

Li Yuanba returned to the Western Yan Continent, killed Lin Nian, and crippled the Thousand Bird Sect while pursuing a mission. A Drone Satellite System alert revealed a Great Power heading to the Jade Purity Sect, where Great Power Leng Luo arrived and discovered the sect had been devastated and contaminated by radiation energy.

• Li Yuanba used the Drone Satellite System to locate Lin Nian at the Thousand Bird Sect and entered its formation with the Golden Winged Great Peng.
• Li Yuanba killed Lin Nian, then struck Great Cultivator Chu with Wind Blades that destroyed much of the sect and killed him.
• The Drone Satellite System warned Li Yuanba of a possible Great Power Main Body moving toward the Jade Purity Sect, so he fled toward the coast and prepared to escape into the sea.
• Great Power Leng Luo returned after receiving Great Power Luo Yuan's message and found the Jade Purity Sect reduced to 345 cultivators and a few ruined buildings.
• Great Power Leng Luo detected radiation energy throughout the Jade Purity Sect Mountain Gate and wondered what had happened.

Great Power Leng Luo returned to the Jade Purity Sect and learned from Great Power Luo Yuan about the mountain gate’s destruction, the stolen Divine Firmament Thunder Pearl, and Li Shizhen’s attacks on the sect. Meanwhile, Li Yuanba observed Leng Luo’s arrival and urgently contacted Sword Intent Soaring Pavilion because the matter involved a Great Power.

• Great Power Luo Yuan told Great Power Leng Luo that an unknown attacker had devastated the Jade Purity Sect Mountain Gate and left Hell Energy pollution that prevented retrospection.
• Great Power Leng Luo learned that Li Shizhen had stolen the Divine Firmament Thunder Pearl and killed Yang Xing and Lian Lei, and he resolved to investigate the attack and retrieve the treasure.

• Li Yuanba activated the Emergency Contact Formation and told Great Cultivator Lou that he urgently needed to speak with Sword Elder about a matter involving a Great Power.

Li Yuanba warned Sword Elder that a new Great Power had returned to the Jade Purity Sect, then escaped the Western Yan Continent after protecting Xuan Yi. Li Shiming left the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect with Yin Shilan, causing alarm among Great Cultivators and frustrating Great Power Leng Luo’s plans to capture him.

• Li Yuanba emerged from seclusion without refining the Boundless Immortal Fire, which Red Devil had already refined.
• Palace Master Feng invited Li Yuanba and Great Cultivator Ren Mu to help her deal with six Fourth Grade Late Stage Golden-Eyed Ice Crystal Beasts, and the three shared Phoenix Fruit Wine before departing by flying boat.
• After seven days at sea, Palace Master Feng found their route blocked by an Army Devil Ant swarm and asked Li Yuanba and Great Cultivator Ren Mu for help.
• Palace Master Feng attacked with fire, and Great Cultivator Ren Mu froze the seawater into needles, but the swarm lost only several hundred ants.

Clone Li Yuanba saved Palace Master Feng, Great Cultivator Ren Mu, and their companions from an Army Devil Ant swarm with the Thunder Sound Bell. The group reached a dark sea region containing an ancient restriction, entered despite its suppressive effects, and began following a map to Palace Master Feng’s target material.

• Great Cultivator Ren Mu called for a retreat as Army Devil Ants surrounded the group, and Palace Master Feng said they were trapped.

• Li Yuanba, Palace Master Feng, and Great Cultivator Ren Mu found their powers suppressed inside the region and agreed to retrieve Palace Master Feng’s material before exploring further.
• Palace Master Feng gave Li Yuanba a map to the target location, and Li Yuanba prepared his Form Intention Sword for battle.

Li Yuanba, Palace Master Feng, and Great Cultivator Ren Mu reached a volcanic crater beneath the sea and discovered that Palace Master Feng sought a Fire Attribute Heavenly Secret Treasure. As Palace Master Feng began retrieving it, three Golden-Eyed Ice Crystal Beasts attacked, and Li Yuanba intervened when they trapped her.

• Li Yuanba, Palace Master Feng, and Great Cultivator Ren Mu followed the map into the sea, where Li Yuanba used the Eye of the Storm to shield himself from the water.
• Great Cultivator Ren Mu led the group across the seafloor as the seawater grew colder and they approached a volcanic crater.
• Li Yuanba and Great Cultivator Ren Mu recognized a Heavenly Secret Treasure at the crater, and Palace Master Feng revealed her intent to retrieve it.
• Palace Master Feng fused with the Crimson Gold Phoenix while Great Cultivator Ren Mu summoned water dragons to guard her; a Golden-Eyed Ice Crystal Beast attacked.
• Li Yuanba attacked the first beast with his Form Intention Sword as Great Cultivator Ren Mu fought it with his water dragons.
• Three Golden-Eyed Ice Crystal Beasts trapped Palace Master Feng in ice, so Li Yuanba teleported to help her and wounded one beast with Wind Blades.

Li Yuanba and Palace Master Feng fought the Golden-Eyed Ice Crystal Beasts while Palace Master Feng retrieved a Fire Crystal Heavenly Secret Treasure, triggering a restriction that sealed their Spiritual Power and trapped her in the crater. Li Yuanba revealed Thunder Duke to rescue Great Cultivator Ren Mu and reach Palace Master Feng, then gathered them inside his Wind Shield.

• Palace Master Feng used her Crimson Gold Phoenix fusion state to clear ice crystals as she headed for the volcanic crater, while Li Yuanba killed a Golden-Eyed Ice Crystal Beast and drew the others away from her.
• Li Yuanba killed a second Golden-Eyed Ice Crystal Beast with coordinated sword and Wind Blade attacks, then skirmished with the remaining four as Palace Master Feng reached the crater.
• Palace Master Feng seized the Fire Crystal Heavenly Secret Treasure, causing the crater exit to seal; her powerful flame could not break through.

• Li Yuanba summoned Thunder Duke, who used Space Movement to carry Li Yuanba and Great Cultivator Ren Mu into the crater and to Palace Master Feng.
• Li Yuanba revealed Thunder Duke to Palace Master Feng, took her hand, and expanded the Eye of the Storm's Wind Shield around her and Great Cultivator Ren Mu.

• Thunder Duke brought Li Yuanba, Palace Master Feng, and Great Cultivator Ren Mu out of the restricted seawater region, and Palace Master Feng offered Li Yuanba her Fire Attribute Heavenly Secret Treasure in gratitude.
• Li Yuanba declined the treasure, asked Palace Master Feng and Great Cultivator Ren Mu to keep Thunder Duke secret, and sent Thunder Duke back into the Ancient Remains to investigate.
• Thunder Duke examined the crater and recorded Ancient Runes that drew energy from magma, then used Space Movement to pass through a sealed doorway.
• Thunder Duke discovered 108 transparent partitions holding living Fourth Grade Late Stage Spirit Beasts whose vitality flowed through energy channels.
