• Saint Qingyuan and the others found the core saturated with Demonic Qi, which could poison and corrupt Human Race cultivators.

Fang Chen and his companions discussed how to gather intelligence inside the Devil Race camp without being discovered. They decided to leave the camp so Fang Chen could refine a powerful knockout drug before returning.

• Fang Chen asked Myna Bird to scout the camp, but Myna Bird proposed using his innate Soul Searching Secret Technique on captured devils instead.
• Little Crane explained that he could only bring someone into his stomach if they consented and offered no resistance.
• Saint Qingyuan suggested drugging a Devil Race Cultivator and gave Fang Chen a recipe for Drunken Immortal Powder.
• Saint Qingyuan proposed using the Chaos Demonic Star Vine's toxin to make the powder potent enough to instantly knock out a Peak Saint.
• Fang Chen agreed to leave the camp with his companions so he could refine the powder, while Myna Bird urged them to take what they wanted by force.

Fang Chen and his companions chose to avoid provoking the Devil Race and traveled to ancient ruins where he could safely refine Drunken Immortal Powder. A month later, a heavenly tribulation formed over the Heaven Refining Furnace as the powder neared completion.

• Saint Qingyuan, Fang Chen, and Little Crane agreed to avoid a reckless attack on the Devil Race camp because its Quasi-Emperor could threaten them.

• Fang Chen collected venom from the Chaos Demonic Star Vine and asked Saint Qingyuan to study the Heaven Demon Powder formula and gather its ingredients.
• Fang Chen used the Heaven Refining Furnace, his Manifestation, and the Eight Trigrams Array Diagram to refine Drunken Immortal Powder.
• After one month, energy surged from the furnace and a heavenly tribulation gathered overhead.

Fang Chen completed his Alchemy, but the Heaven Refining Furnace produced eighty-one enormous black watermelons instead of the expected pills. After tasting one, he discovered that its flesh was delicious and could strengthen the soul and raise Cultivation, then offered some to Saint Qingyuan.

• Fang Chen watched the Heaven Refining Furnace shrink and sprout red vines that grew, flowered, and bore eighty-one giant black watermelons.
• Fang Chen cut into one watermelon after Saint Qingyuan cautioned him to take only a small piece first.
• Fang Chen found the watermelon’s fragrance invigorating and tasted its flesh, which filled him with Spiritual Power and strengthened his Soul Perception.
• Fang Chen explained the watermelon’s effects to Saint Qingyuan and handed him a piece to try.

Fang Chen and Saint Qingyuan discovered that the Giant Watermelons contained pill-like seeds that released a powerful sleep effect when crushed. They called over You Xin to test one, leaving the experiment about to begin.

• Saint Qingyuan tasted the Giant Watermelon flesh and found its effects stronger than top-grade saint-tier pills, though it did not knock him out.
• Fang Chen opened a Giant Watermelon, and he and Saint Qingyuan found it packed with pill-like black seeds.
• Saint Qingyuan identified a seed as a pill, and Fang Chen suggested crushing it to use it like Drunken Immortal Powder.
• Fang Chen crushed a seed, released a strange pulse, and nearly fell asleep before Saint Qingyuan woke him with his voice.
• Fang Chen and Saint Qingyuan agreed to have someone else test a seed, and Saint Qingyuan summoned You Xin.

Fang Chen tested a powerful knockout pill made from the Giant Watermelon’s flesh by having Saint You Xin and Saint Qingyuan crush it. Both Saints passed out instantly and woke after eating the Melon’s flesh, leaving Fang Chen to consider how the pill might affect even an Invincible Saint.

• Saint Qingyuan gave Saint You Xin the pill to test, and Saint You Xin passed out immediately after crushing it.
• Saint Qingyuan’s Soul Awakening Pill failed to wake Saint You Xin, but feeding him the Giant Watermelon’s flesh brought him around.
• Saint You Xin recalled that a strange wave hit him as soon as he crushed the pill, leaving him unconscious.
• Saint Qingyuan asked Fang Chen to attack him with another pill, and he also collapsed as soon as it shattered.
• Fang Chen revived Saint Qingyuan with Melon flesh, and Saint Qingyuan praised the pill’s potency while Fang Chen wondered whether multiple pills could affect an Invincible Saint more strongly.

Fang Chen tested and named the Drunken Immortal Pills, then shared a Melon with the Saints of Longevity Valley. After securing the remaining harvest, he prepared to refine Heaven Demon Powder before facing the Devil Race.

• Fang Chen confirmed that multiple Pills intensified their sleep-inducing effect and that Melon flesh counteracted it.
• Saint Qingyuan separated the flesh and seeds from a huge Melon and counted 1,333 Pills, which Fang Chen named Drunken Immortal Pills.
• Fang Chen kept seventy-nine Melons and gave the remaining one to the Saints of Longevity Valley to divide among themselves.
• Saint Qingyuan told Fang Chen that all the materials for Heaven Demon Powder were ready, and Fang Chen decided to test the powder on Devil Race Saints.

Fang Chen successfully refined Heaven Demon Powder and reunited with Little Crane, the Chaos Heart-Devouring Worm, and the Chaos Demonic Star Vine. Little Crane revealed that they had explored the Devil Race's Abyss Camp, where Fang Chen learned of its powerful defenses, great wealth, and three Invincible Saint commanders, including the Sky-Rending Demon Saint.

• Fang Chen refined Heaven Demon Powder in three days without incident, then tried repeatedly to contact Little Crane.
• On the fourth day, Little Crane answered, confirmed she was safe, and agreed to return after Fang Chen told her the medicine was ready.
• Fang Chen recalled the Chaos Heart-Devouring Worm and the Chaos Demonic Star Vine from their treasure hunt in the Ruins.
• Little Crane returned and told Fang Chen that she had explored the Devil Race's camp but could not pass its unusual Barriers.
• Little Crane found the Chaos Heart-Devouring Worm and the now-larger Chaos Demonic Star Vine, then carried them and Fang Chen's group toward the Abyss Camp.
• The Myna bird told Fang Chen that the Abyss Camp had three Invincible Saint commanders, including the Sky-Rending Demon Saint, and formidable defenses alongside many treasures.

Fang Chen and his companions infiltrated the Devil Race’s Treasure Vault to steal its treasures. He sent Little Crane to attack the guards with his newly refined Drunken Immortal Pills, which began striking them before they could react.

• The Myna bird warned Fang Chen that the Devil Race was expanding through the Sacred Land and had grown far stronger than the Human Race.
• Three hours later, Fang Chen returned to Abyss Camp and told Little Crane to take them to the Treasure Vault.
• Little Crane could not pass through the vault’s Barrier, so Fang Chen used the Reincarnation Eye Secret Technique to guide it through a weak point.
• Fang Chen revealed his Drunken Immortal Pills and explained that their pulses could put powerful Devil Race members to sleep.
• Little Crane slipped into the Void and launched the pills at the Devil Race guards, who sensed them too late to react.

Fang Chen and his companions looted all six major Devil Race treasure vaults, then set out to seize the Demon Sound Cannons. They incapacitated the cannons’ guards, intending for the Myna bird to learn how to operate them.

• Little Crane’s pills knocked out the Devil Race experts, and Fang Chen stored them in the Floating Immortal Ring.
• Fang Chen dismantled the Treasure Vault’s alarm Seals, and Saint Qingyuan and the others carried off its treasures.
• Fang Chen set up a temporary Illusion Array to conceal the theft, and the group looted five more major vaults without detection.
• The group decided to leave the smaller vaults alone and take the Demon Sound Cannons and the Abyss hives.
• Little Crane brought the group to the cavern guarded by thirty Devil Race Saints, and Fang Chen had her incapacitate them so the Myna bird could search their souls for operating instructions.

Fang Chen and his companions looted the Abyss Camp’s Demon Sound Cannons and captured Devil Race cultivators, then decided not to risk rescuing the human prisoners. They found a way to use Corpse Emperor Fungus spores against the Dark Blood Scale Bees and prepared to collect the hives.

• Fang Chen and Little Crane took all three Demon Sound Cannons from the Devil Race camp and captured more than a hundred cultivators to test Heaven Demon Powder.
• Little Crane told Fang Chen that at least three hundred humans were imprisoned and forced to mine Star Iron, but Fang Chen decided to leave them for now to avoid revealing who had raided the camp.
• Fang Chen and his companions left the Abyss Camp and headed toward the Dark Blood Scale Bee nests.
• The Chaos Heart-Devouring Worm told Fang Chen that the bees feared Corpse Emperor Fungus spores, and Saint Qingyuan produced one from the Devil Race’s Treasure Vault.
• The Chaos Heart-Devouring Worm explained that soaking the fungus in its urine and roasting it with Sacred Flame would release spores that repelled the bees.

Fang Chen used the Chaos Heart-Devouring Worm to prepare the Corpse Emperor Fungus, then roasted it in the Heaven Refining Furnace to drive the Dark Blood Scale Bees from their nests. He broke into the largest nest and reached its heart, where a giant Dark Blood Scale Bee confronted him.

• Fang Chen had the Chaos Heart-Devouring Worm soak the Corpse Emperor Fungus in its urine for three days, then roasted the fungus in the Heaven Refining Furnace.
• The black mist from the furnace drew the Dark Blood Scale Bees back to their nests, and Fang Chen used the Floating Immortal Sword and Reincarnation Eye Secret Technique to break through the largest nest's Barrier.
• Fang Chen entered the nest and used the black mist to scatter the bees as he made his way through its layers.
• After reaching the nest's heart, Fang Chen faced swarms of bees that no longer feared the mist and protected himself with the Glazed Body-Training Secret Technique.
• A giant Dark Blood Scale Bee swept away the mist and flew toward Fang Chen.

Fang Chen subdued the Dark Blood Scale Bee queen and collected twenty hives before fleeing when Devil Race experts approached. He continued onward, determined to gather resources for the Glazed Sword Sect and support its growing number of disciples.

• Fang Chen captured the Dark Blood Scale Bee queen with the Hand of the Heavens and knocked it unconscious with two pills.
• Fang Chen removed the queen's hive and collected nineteen more hives, sealing the exits of the second hive before prying it loose.
• Little Crane warned Fang Chen that Devil Race experts were approaching, so Fang Chen left with Little Crane before they arrived.
• The Devil Race experts found the territory covered in black smoke and could not probe through it with their Spiritual Sense.
• Fang Chen reflected on the Glazed Sword Sect's need for resources and resolved to keep supporting it and the friends who had helped him.

Fang Chen’s actions left the Devil Race’s Shadow Blood Scale Bee territory missing several large nests, while every Treasure Vault in their camp was stripped bare. The Sky-Rending Demon Saint inspected the devastation with the Heavenly Spider Demon Saint and the Bone-Corroding Demon Saint, but the thief remained at large.

• The Devil Race experts found that several of the larger Shadow Blood Scale Bee nests had vanished after the black mist dispersed.
• A horn sounded, and the returning experts learned that every Treasure Vault had been robbed and its guards had disappeared.
• The Heavenly Spider Demon Saint summoned the Sky-Rending Demon Saint from seclusion and told him that the vaults and three Demon Sound Cannons had been stolen.
• The Sky-Rending Demon Saint joined the Heavenly Spider Demon Saint and the Bone-Corroding Demon Saint to inspect the vaults.
• The three commanders found the vaults empty, their floors and wall gems removed, and the Secret Chambers broken into and stripped.

Sky-Rending Demon Saint discovered that every treasure vault in his camp had been emptied and reported the theft to the Demon Race Ancestral Land. Fang Chen returned to the Cloud Sea Mountain Range and concealed his raid from the other cultivators, leaving his companions to believe he had avoided the Devil Race camps.

• Sky-Rending Demon Saint searched the empty vaults, learned that no one had left a trace, and ordered Heavenly Spider Demon Saint and Bone-Corroding Demon Saint to report the theft to the Ancestral Land.
• Little Crane brought Fang Chen and the others back to the Cloud Sea Mountain Range, where Fang Chen told Saint Qingyuan and the others to deny visiting the Devil Race camps.
• Fang Chen privately told Black Flame Saint that they had emptied the camp's Treasure Vaults and urged him to keep the raid secret to protect the Glazed Sword Sect.
• Fang Chen told the other Saints that raiding the Devil Race camps was too dangerous, and Black Flame Saint, Saint Honghe, and the others agreed to avoid them.
• Fang Chen told everyone to cultivate in the Cloud Pine Mountain Range before he took them elsewhere, then asked Black Flame Saint how his cultivation had progressed.

Fang Chen tested Heaven Demon Powder on captured Devil Race cultivators and began harvesting the Dark Blood Scale Bee hives. The devils remained trapped as the powder took time to work, while Saint Qingyuan and the others collected honey from the first hive.

• Black Flame Saint told Fang Chen that the group’s cultivation had improved and three Glazed Sword Sect members had passed their tribulations.
• Fang Chen released more than three hundred captured Devil Race cultivators into a formation, gave them the antidote, and dusted them with Heaven Demon Powder.
• The trapped devils failed to break the formation, and Fang Chen decided to leave them while the powder took effect.
• Fang Chen opened the first Dark Blood Scale Bee hive, sealed its awake queen, and let Saint Qingyuan and the others collect the honey and bees.
• Fang Chen entered the second hive and sealed it again to keep the Dark Blood Scale Bees inside.

Fang Chen wiped out the Dark Blood Scale Bees, gave their queens to the Chaos Heart-Devouring Worm and Elder Qingyuan’s group, then studied the Multicolored Fragment. When he brought it near the Floating Immortal Ring, the ring devoured it and unleashed a surge of power.

• Fang Chen killed the Dark Blood Scale Bees with the Heaven Refining Furnace’s Black Mists, leaving the queens alive.
• Fang Chen set aside five queens for Elder Qingyuan and the others, then gave the remaining queens to the Chaos Heart-Devouring Worm to eat.
• Fang Chen tasted the honeycomb but found that its Spiritual Power did not noticeably increase his strength.
• Fang Chen examined the Multicolored Fragment, but could neither touch it with his blood nor draw it into his body.
• Fang Chen brought the fragment near the Floating Immortal Ring, which poured Spiritual Power into him before suddenly sucking the fragment inside.

A fragment fused with the Floating Immortal Sword, greatly increasing the power flowing into Fang Chen. After seeing the Heaven Demon Powder drive powerful devils into a frenzy, Fang Chen set out to make more of it as a weapon against the Devil Race.

• The fragment fused with the Floating Immortal Sword inside the Floating Immortal Ring, and Fang Chen endured ten days of surging energy that greatly strengthened him.
• Myna bird alerted Fang Chen that the Heaven Demon Powder was working, and Fang Chen saw maddened devils attacking one another inside the Formation.
• Fang Chen called Saint Qingyuan and Black Flame Saint to witness the powder's effects and told them to keep its secret.
• Fang Chen asked Saint Qingyuan to distribute Dark Blood Scale Bee honey to the Glazed Sword Sect's disciples and set aside treasures that might help make more powder.
• Fang Chen left the Floating Immortal Great Array with Myna bird and began making Heaven Demon Powder in the Cloud Pine Mountain Range.

Fang Chen improved his Heaven Demon Powder refining method, but the Heaven Refining Furnace slipped out of his control and swallowed Spiritual Qi and uprooted trees. A Heavenly Tribulation formed over the enormous furnace, leaving Fang Chen unsure whether he had ruined the powder or created something extraordinary.

• Fang Chen used his Manifestations, Saint Seals, and the Floating Immortal Ring’s Spiritual Power to improve how he refined Heaven Demon Powder.
• The Heaven Mending Goddess and Old Farmer battered the Black Cauldron for ten days, while Fang Chen’s Heaven Refining Furnace followed its path and grew to eight thousand zhang tall.
• The Heaven Refining Furnace began devouring Spiritual Qi, dead leaves, and Ancient Cloud Pine Trees, growing beyond Fang Chen’s control and exceeding ten thousand zhang in height.
• Tribulation Clouds gathered above the furnace, and Fang Chen wondered whether the batch of Heaven Demon Powder might instead become something extraordinary.

Fang Chen’s alchemy caused the Heaven Refining Furnace and a vortex of Spiritual Qi to release immense energy, alarming cultivators across the area. The Saints returned to the Floating Immortal Great Array to cultivate, determined to grow stronger against the Devil Race’s rising dominance in the Sacred Land.

• Myna bird observed that the Heaven Refining Furnace had grown beyond ten thousand zhang and surpassed a Top-Tier Saint Weapon in power.
• Heavenly Punishment Divine Lightning struck the Spiritual Qi vortex, which absorbed it and grew stronger as the Heaven Refining Furnace spun faster.
• The creatures of Cloud Pine Mountain Range fled, while cultivators and Purple-Eyed Vajra Giant Apes looked toward the vortex in alarm.
• Black Flame Saint explained that Fang Chen was performing alchemy and warned everyone not to approach.
• The Saints returned to the Floating Immortal Great Array to cultivate, mindful of the Devil Race’s strength and aggressive control of the Sacred Land.

The Heaven Refining Furnace completed its transformation, producing a towering Purple Lightning Pine Tree that burned away and left mysterious powder inside. Fang Chen regained his connection to the furnace and found the five Sacred Flames had grown stronger, but the powder’s nature remained unknown.

• The Heavenly Tribulation ended as the Heaven Refining Furnace absorbed its lightning, grew larger, and sprouted a towering Purple Lightning Pine Tree.
• The Pine Tree bloomed and formed Purple Lightning Pine Cones, which fell from its branches before the tree burst into flames.
• The Heaven Refining Furnace drew in the golden pollen and the tree’s ashes, then Fang Chen regained his connection to it.
• The myna bird could not break a Purple Lightning Pine Cone, so Fang Chen smashed one open and collected its enormous Pine Nuts for Senior Qing Yuan to study.
• Fang Chen opened the furnace and found a thick layer of mysterious powder inside, then noticed the five Sacred Flames surrounding him had grown much stronger.

Fang Chen tested the mysterious powder from the Heaven Refining Furnace and found it could drive even Peak Devil Saints berserk. He decided to lead the Glazed Sword Sect in raids on Devil Race camps and headed for Camp Number Twenty-Three as the other camps confirmed that Camp Number Nine had been looted.

• Fang Chen and the Myna bird discovered that powder in the Heaven Refining Furnace resembled Heaven Demon Powder and collected it.
• The Myna bird scattered the powder inside the Barrier, and Devil Saints gradually went berserk until even the Peak Devil Saints were affected.
• Fang Chen rejected the Myna bird's suggestion to fight the Devil Race directly and chose to raid their camps with the Glazed Sword Sect.
• Fang Chen quietly gathered the Glazed Sword Sect, and Little Crane carried them toward Camp Number Twenty-Three.
• The commanders of the other Devil Race camps verified that all seven Treasure Vaults at Camp Number Nine had been looted.

Fang Chen and the Glazed Sword Sect reached a Devil Race camp and learned how vast the Devil Race’s forces and ambitions were. They entered a camp to rob its Treasure Vault, but Fang Chen’s attempt to break through its Formations caused the vault to shake.

• Little Crane brought Fang Chen and the Glazed Sword Sect Disciples to Camp Number Twenty-Three, where Fang Chen explained that the Devil Race had more than a hundred camps commanded by Invincible Demon Saints.
• Fang Chen told the group that the Devil Race aimed to conquer the Sacred Land before turning against the Human Race, and urged the disciples to focus on their own survival.
• Fang Chen announced that they would rob a Devil Race camp, and the group eagerly prepared to follow him.
• Little Crane carried Fang Chen and the others into Camp Number Twenty-One, surveyed its stronger defenses, and slipped through the Formations around its Treasure Vault.
• Little Crane used the Drunken Immortal Pill to knock out the guards and took them away, while Fang Chen began breaking the vault’s Formations.
• The Treasure Vault began to shake as Fang Chen worked on the Formations.
