After the dragon named itself Lin Jinglei and returned to the lightning pool to grow, Lin Feng was left with its lightning origin, which could help him reach Eight-star Dou Sheng.

• Lin Feng's group and Hun Tiandi's party descended through the magma and reached the Ancient Emperor's Cave Mansion's enormous stone gate.

Lin Feng and the allied Dou Saints opened the Ancient Emperor’s Cave Mansion, but Hun Tiandi’s assault failed and his group escaped after Nihility Devouring Flame detonated his Emperor Realm Soul. The allies learned that Origin Qi and the Emperor Grade Nascent Pill were key to becoming a Dou Emperor, while Hun Tiandi plotted to reach the Half-Emperor realm first and seize the pill.

• Lin Feng opened the stone gate with the fused Tou She Ancient God Jade, then he and the allies attacked Hun Tiandi as Zhu Kun emerged and struck him.
• Hun Tiandi ordered Nihility Devouring Flame to detonate his Emperor Realm Soul, forcing Lin Feng and the others to defend themselves behind a vast magma barrier.

There, Zhu Kun revealed that the Ancient Void Dragon records linked the Outer Realm Evil Clan to the Dragon Phoenix and warned that their demonic qi surpassed Dou Qi.

• Zhu Kun explained that Tou She Ancient God had been an extraordinary Heavenly Flame, then the group reached the final plaza and encountered the Emperor Grade Nascent Pill.
• Lin Feng and the nine-star Dou Saints used the Five Elements Annihilation Heaven Refining Ancient Formation, the Bodhi Ancient Tree, and the Azure Dragon to subdue and transform the Nascent Pill.
• Lin Feng urged the group to postpone deciding who would consume the Emperor Pill and return to the Middle Continent because Hun Tiandi and the Outer Realm Evil Clan remained threats.
• After returning to Sacred Pill City, Lin Feng recounted the Soul Clan's actions to Zhu Kun, who shared the Ancient Void Dragon records about the Outer Realm Evil Clan and the Dragon Phoenix Great Emperor.
• Zhu Kun warned that the Outer Realm Evil Clan's demonic qi was more powerful than Dou Qi, leaving the Dou Saints alarmed by the threat ahead.

As the Dou Qi Continent faced the Outer Realm Evil Clan’s threat, Lin Feng entered Tou She Ancient God’s inheritance through Little Demon’s intervention. He met Tou She Ancient God, who recognized his exceptional strength and unusual soul transformation.

• Gu Yuan warned the gathered Dou Saints that the Demon Lord might reach the Emperor realm, and Zhu Kun explained that an Emperor Grade Nascent Pill alone could not make someone an Emperor.
• Lin Feng volunteered to refine the Emperor Pill and proposed gathering energy from across the continent in exchange for cultivation rewards and a threefold return if they survived.
• Zhu Kun revealed how to seek Tou She Ancient God’s inheritance through the ten-thousand-foot statue, but Gu Yuan and the other experts failed to awaken it.

• Lin Feng entered a sea of flames and met Tou She Ancient God, who assessed his cultivation and discovered that his Emperor Realm Soul had undergone an unusual transformation.

Tou She Ancient God chose Xiao Yan to inherit his legacy and gave Lin Feng a Flame Lotus Pod to strengthen his cultivation. Lin Feng moved the statue into the Heavenly Tomb to buy Xiao Yan time, while he began refining the pod; three months later, Gu Yuan welcomed a dying Nihility Devouring Flame, who offered to surrender.

• Tou She Ancient God summoned Xiao Yan and chose him as his successor, while giving Lin Feng a Flame Lotus Pod containing pure Heaven and Earth energy.
• Lin Feng told Gu Yuan and the others that Xiao Yan had received the inheritance, then proposed moving the Ancient Emperor Stone Statue into the Heavenly Tomb to gain five times the cultivation time.
• Lin Feng brought the statue to the Heavenly Tomb and told Xiao Xuan that Xiao Yan was receiving Tou She Ancient God's inheritance.
• Lin Feng set up the Five Elements Life-Death Heaven Refining Great Array to refine the Flame Lotus Pod and pursue a breakthrough before Xiao Yan.
• Three months later, Gu Yuan discovered that the wounded Nihility Devouring Flame had offered to surrender, but his origin was leaking away and he was close to dying.

The Emperor Clans agreed to pool their resources to raise Zi Yan’s strength so the Dragon Phoenix could oppose Hun Tiandi, while Nihility Devouring Flame bargained for a place in the Heavenly Tomb. Hun Tiandi continued his sacrifice in the Soul Realm, and the Demon Queen’s demonic fetus grew as demons drained the life of the Dou Qi Continent.

• Nihility Devouring Flame explained that Hun Tiandi had killed his dissenting clansmen and was preparing to become a Half-Emperor using the Soul Clan’s bloodline power.
• Zhu Kun proposed strengthening Zi Yan with the Emperor Clans’ treasures, and the clan leaders agreed to support her advancement and contact Lin Feng to open the Heavenly Tomb.

• Demons sacrificed countless beings from the Dou Qi Continent to strengthen the demonic fetus, while the Demon Queen killed a Demon General who admired her.

• Lin Feng's aura advanced to Mid Nine-star Dou Sheng as Xiao Xuan, the Bodhi Ancient Tree, the Pure Lotus Demon Sage, and the Yellow Springs Demon Sage powered the formation and helped him cultivate.
• Hun Tiandi's Spirit Devouring Life Annihilation Array drove the Soul Clan into slaughtering its own members, and many awakened survivors took their own lives in grief.
• Hun Tiandi ordered his forces to prepare to attack Sacred Pill City in three months, then entered a blood-red fetus to cultivate toward the Half-Emperor realm.

• Lin Feng awakened as a Half-Emperor, and the Pure Lotus Demon Sage judged that Lin Feng surpassed even the Half-Emperors at their peaks.

After emerging from two years of cultivation in the Heavenly Tomb as a Half-Emperor, Lin Feng revealed that he possessed the Origin of the Emperor and decided to eliminate Hun Tiandi before attempting his final breakthrough. He returned to Sacred Pill City and had Nihility Devouring Flame locate the Soul Realm, setting the alliance on the path to confront the Soul Clan.
