Chapter Summaries

Fang Chen began absorbing Spiritual Power from the Nine-Colored Fragment while the injured Red Rock Demon Saint fled to warn the Devil Race about him. As the Glazed Sword Sect and other Human Race experts returned, the Chaos Demonic Star Vine began another tribulation.

• Fang Chen used the Floating Immortal Sword to draw Spiritual Power from the Nine-Colored Fragment and rapidly strengthen himself.
• The Red Rock Demon Saint failed to expel Fang Chen’s Sword Intent, fled toward the Sacred Land’s edge, and planned to report Fang Chen’s strength to his lord.
• The Black Flame Saint led the Glazed Sword Sect back to Fang Chen, while Foreign Race experts spread warnings about the powerful Human Race Saint.
• The Black Flame Saint and the others noticed the Chaos Demonic Star Vine’s aura erupting, and the Chaos Heart-Devouring Worm told Fang Chen it was about to face another tribulation.
• Fang Chen told the Chaos Heart-Devouring Worm to let the Chaos Demonic Star Vine undergo the tribulation, and the vine flew away as Tribulation Clouds gathered overhead.

The Chaos Demonic Star Vine underwent a terrifying Heavenly Tribulation, devouring the first two lightning waves and growing stronger. As the Tribulation Clouds formed more vortexes and unleashed increasingly powerful divine lightning, the Vine began to suffer damage but continued fighting.

• The Chaos Demonic Star Vine absorbed the first wave of Heavenly Thunder, strengthening its aura and astonishing the Foreign Race powerhouses.
• The Vine devoured a second wave of red lightning fused with Fire Origin, causing its vines to grow thicker and its runes to grow denser.
• A second Vortex appeared in the Tribulation Clouds, and azure and yellow lightning fused into two-colored bolts that injured the Vine.
• A third Vortex appeared after the third wave, then lightning from all three Vortexes fused into a fourth wave that blasted apart some of the Vine's smaller vines.
• The onlookers marveled at the Heavenly Punishment's power and worried whether the Chaos Demonic Star Vine could survive all Nine Heavenly Tribulations.

The Chaos Demonic Star Vine endured three increasingly devastating waves of Heavenly Punishment and revealed its Natal Spirit Pearl. After absorbing the Origin Light Beam, it completed its fourth Heavenly Tribulation and grew into a vastly more powerful form.

• The ninth and tenth waves of Heavenly Punishment blasted away the Chaos Demonic Star Vine's branches and wounded its bulb, but it survived.
• An eleventh wave of lightning wolves tore away most of the bulb, exposing the Chaos Demonic Star Vine's Dark Gold Natal Spirit Pearl.
• The Natal Spirit Pearl released a wave that destroyed the lightning wolves, then absorbed the golden lightning they left behind.
• The Tribulation Clouds turned Nine-Colored, and the Chaos Demonic Star Vine absorbed the descending Origin Light Beam to regenerate and grow to forty thousand zhang.
• The Chaos Demonic Star Vine completed its fourth Heavenly Tribulation, and the Glazed Sword Sect disciples cheered at its increased power.

After the Chaos Demonic Star Vine survived its fourth Heavenly Tribulation, Fang Chen continued attacking the Multicolored Fragment’s protective light with the Floating Immortal Sword. Ten years later, the light shattered, and the fragment greatly expanded Fang Chen’s Soul Perception, though its mysteries remained inaccessible.

• The Chaos Demonic Star Vine completed its tribulation and perched on the Chaos Heart-Devouring Worm’s shoulder.
• Foreign Race experts left, while the Glazed Sword Sect and Yaochi Holy Land stayed in the Sacred Land to cultivate under the protection of Fang Chen’s allies.
• Fang Chen continued drawing energy from the Floating Immortal Sword as it pressed against the fragment, growing stronger over ten years.
• The Multicolored Fragment’s Body Protection Spiritual Light shattered, and a ripple from the fragment expanded Fang Chen’s Soul Perception to thirteen thousand li.
• Fang Chen touched the fragment and extended his Soul Perception to fifteen thousand zhang, then examined its mysterious Runes but could not send his Spiritual Sense inside.

Fang Chen claimed the fragment and used his strengthened Floating Immortal Great Array to help the Glazed Sword Sect undergo Tribulation Transcendence in the Sacred Land. The sect members all passed safely, leaving the watching Saints astonished by Fang Chen’s power and resources.

• Fang Chen failed to absorb energy from the fragment, put it away, and received congratulations from Black Flame Saint, Chen Xiaofei, Yan Ziyi, and the Glazed Sword Sect.

• Black Flame Saint led the Glazed Sword Sect members through their tribulations, and every member succeeded within two days.
• Moon Saint and the other Saints watched the sect pass its tribulations with ease and marveled at the Formation’s strength.

Fang Chen let Moon Saint and the other Yaochi Holy Land Saints use the Floating Immortal Great Array and gave them Heart Tribulation Pills, helping all seven complete their tribulations. Saint Ziwei then asked to borrow the array for her group, leaving Fang Chen to decide whether to agree.

• Moon Saint asked Fang Chen to let Yaochi Holy Land borrow his formation, and he agreed without charging a fee.
• Fang Chen gave Moon Saint Heart Tribulation Pills for Yaochi Holy Land's Saints, recalling their past help for the Glazed Sword Sect and his own cultivation.
• Moon Saint entered the Floating Immortal Great Array, overcame the Heart Demon Tribulation with a pill, and advanced to the realm of a Seven-Tribulation Saint.
• Six more Yaochi Holy Land Saints underwent tribulations in the array with the pills, and all seven succeeded.
• Saint Ziwei asked Fang Chen to let her group borrow the Floating Immortal Great Array, while Black Flame Saint warned him that he did not have to agree if the array would suffer too much wear.

Fang Chen let Saints use the Floating Immortal Great Array for tribulations at a generous fee and sold them Heart Tribulation Pills. After every cultivator in two groups survived, he asked Saint Qingyuan to gather materials so he could refine more pills.

• Fang Chen accepted Saint Ziwei's offer to charge five times the usual rate for using the Floating Immortal Great Array.
• Fang Chen offered Heart Tribulation Pills for sale, and Saint Ziwei's group paid fees, bought pills, and entered the array to face their tribulations.
• All seventy cultivators in Saint Ziwei's group survived their tribulations within five days.
• Forty Saints who had traveled with Moon Saint also survived their tribulations with help from the array and pills.
• Fang Chen gave Saint Qingyuan the Heart Tribulation Pill formula and asked him to gather as many ingredients as possible.
• Saint Qingyuan organized the Saints of Longevity Valley to collect and sort the ingredients.

Fang Chen refined a vast batch of Heart Tribulation Pills in the Heaven Refining Furnace, whose power withstood an unusually fierce Heavenly Tribulation. The furnace produced numerous bright Pills with dense Dao Patterns, but Fang Chen was left hoping they were sound.

• Saint Qingyuan, Chen Xiaofei, the Black Flame Saint, and the other Alchemists sorted ingredients for three days, preparing enough for eighty thousand Saint Heart Pills.
• Fang Chen sent everyone to cultivate inside the Floating Immortal Great Array, then put all the ingredients into the Heaven Refining Furnace and began refining the Pills.
• A month later, Fang Chen carried the furnace outside the array as Tribulation Clouds gathered above it.
• Heavenly Punishment Divine Lightning struck the furnace continuously for the time it took an incense stick to burn, but the furnace remained intact and the tribulation eventually faded.
• Fang Chen regained control of the furnace, found a vast number of bright Pills with dense Dao Patterns inside, and released them into the sky.

Fang Chen produced nearly ninety thousand unusually potent Heart Tribulation Pills, which strengthened the soul, body, Blood Qi, and Cultivation as well as helping with the Heart Demon Tribulation. He entrusted the Pills to Saint Qingyuan to distribute among the Glazed Sword Sect, and Saint Qingyuan offered them to the disciples.

• Fang Chen asked Saint Qingyuan to test one of the Pills, and Saint Qingyuan found that it strengthened his Soul Origin, Saint Force, Physical Body, and Blood Qi.

• Saint Qingyuan suggested that the Top Grade ingredients and Heavenly Thunder absorbed during refinement had made the Pills more potent.
• Fang Chen stored the nearly ninety thousand Pills in Gourds and entrusted one to Saint Qingyuan for distribution among the Glazed Sword Sect.
• Saint Qingyuan accepted the responsibility and told the disciples to take a few Pills each.

Fang Chen ordered the Chaos Demonic Star Vine to kill Demon Saint Tongyun and the other Devil Race powerhouses, prompting Tongyun to summon his father, the Invincible Saint Sky-Rending Demon Saint. Despite Saint Chenwu’s warnings, Fang Chen stayed and vowed to kill the Invincible Saint in front of everyone.

• Demon Saint Tongyun threatened Fang Chen with his father’s power after the Chaos Demonic Star Vine trapped the Devil Race group.
• Fang Chen told Little Star to kill and devour the captives, and the vine tore apart Tongyun, the other Devil Race powerhouses, and their enslaved Sacred Beasts.

• The Star Sect Saints speculated that Fang Chen was relying on the Fire Glazed Saint or the White-robed Saint to face an Invincible Saint.

The Sky-Rending Demon Saint fled badly wounded while Fang Chen continued to absorb power, and Demon Saint Tongyun remained trapped in the Chaos Demonic Star Vine’s grasp.

• Fang Chen attacked the injured Sky-Rending Demon Saint with his Twelve Natal Flying Swords as the Floating Immortal Sword and his other resources strengthened him.

• Demon Saint Tongyun called for his father as the Chaos Demonic Star Vine’s venom made him increasingly drowsy, while the Human Race cultivators witnessed Fang Chen’s victory over the Invincible Saint.

Fang Chen defeated Sky-Rending Demon Saint but failed to stop him from escaping, while Myna bird prepared to search Demon Saint Tongyun’s soul for Devil Race secrets. Fang Chen returned to the Floating Immortal Great Array, where the gathered factions celebrated his power and Saint Chenwu thanked him for protecting the Human Race.

Fang Chen learned that the Devil Race had gathered in the Sacred Land under Qingtian Demon Emperor and appeared intent on dominating it. Unable to challenge the Devil Race on behalf of the Human Race, Fang Chen decided to raid one of its camps for treasures and experts, despite warnings that this could provoke them.

• Myna Bird told Fang Chen that Qingtian Demon Emperor had rejected proposals to invade other races but had moved most Devil Race experts into camps across the Sacred Land.
• Fang Chen and the other Saints feared that control of the resource-rich Sacred Land would let the Devil Race grow strong enough to threaten the Human Race and other continents.

• Myna Bird revealed that he had learned the locations of Devil Race camps from Demon Saint Tongyun's memories and suggested raiding them for treasures and experts.
• Fang Chen agreed to attack a Devil Race camp, and Saint Chenwu rebuked a Saint who worried that the raid would provoke the Devil Race.

Fang Chen prepared to move the Floating Immortal Great Array and scout the Devil Race’s camp, while the Saints chose to stay with the Glazed Sword Sect for safety. He gathered their discarded Magic Treasures to strengthen the array before relocating it.

• Fang Chen told the Black Flame Saint he would inspect the Devil Race’s camp and attack only if the situation allowed, then promised to be careful in the Sacred Land.

• The Saints from Yaochi Holy Land, the Star Sect, and other groups chose to remain with the Glazed Sword Sect rather than face the Sacred Land’s dangers alone.
• Fang Chen lifted the array’s stakes from the ground and decided they needed strengthening.
• Saint Chenwu, the Star Sect Saints, and the Moon Saint offered Fang Chen their old, damaged Magic Treasures to use for the array.

Fang Chen gathered the Saints’ worn-out Magic Treasures to strengthen the Floating Immortal Great Array and sent Little Crane to scout for Devil Race camps.
