Inside the ruins, Lin Feng’s group sensed the fruit’s location, then split from Xiao Yan as the entrance neared collapse.

• Huang Tian attacked Qing Shan and ordered Phoenix and the other Sky Demon Phoenixes to seize the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit, but Zhu Yan arrived and pulled Zi Yan, Lin Feng, and the others to safety.
• Zhu Yan revealed his power to be at the peak of the Five-star Dou Saint realm, prompting Huang Tian to flee with Phoenix and the other two Sky Demon Phoenixes.
• Zi Yan told Zhu Yan that the Dragon Emperor was trapped in the Ancient Emperor's Cave Mansion, and Lin Feng offered three possible methods of opening it.
• Lin Feng explained that the first method required gathering the eight Emperor Jades, which the Soul Clan might collect while pursuing the Dou Emperor inheritance.
• Lin Feng identified Zi Yan’s Dragon Phoenix body as the second method and the Bodhi Ancient Tree as the third, then Zhu Yan pledged the Ancient Dragon Clan’s support.

After Zhu Yan’s attack accelerated the ancient ruins’ collapse, Lin Feng’s group claimed a Soul Infant Demon Fruit and reached the central hall, where Lin Feng asked the Nine Netherworld Nether Python Clan to surrender.

He returned to Sacred Pill City and prepared to revive Yao Chen in the Small Pill Tower while Zi Yan’s companions went to Dragon Island to prepare for her cultivation.

• Lin Feng refined two Blood-Generating Bone-Melding Pills, and Xiao Yan lent him two Heavenly Flames and half of Fortune Saint’s skeleton for the revival.
• Lin Feng used Soul Force, Eighth-order Magical Beast blood essence, and Heavenly Flames to prepare the Eight-star Dou Zun corpses for Yao Chen and Yao Tianhuo.
