Chapter Summaries

The Sky-Rending Demon Saint reunited with the Heavenly Spider Demon Saint and the Bone-Corroding Demon Saint, who identified the Human expert who wounded him as the Floating Immortal Saint, a successor of the Glazed Sword Sect. He revealed that his son Tongyun had been caught by Fang Chen’s Chaos Demonic Star Vine, while the Sword Qi inside him continued to cause him agony.

• The Sky-Rending Demon Saint contacted the Heavenly Spider Demon Saint and the Bone-Corroding Demon Saint after returning to Camp Number Nine, and they were shocked by his injuries.
• The Sky-Rending Demon Saint said a Human expert had wounded him, and the other two Demon Saints identified the attacker as the Floating Immortal Saint.
• The Heavenly Spider Demon Saint explained that the Floating Immortal Saint had gravely wounded the Red Rock Demon Saint and struck the Qingguang Demon Saint into a Space Rift without using a Supreme Emperor Weapon.
• The Heavenly Spider Demon Saint revealed that the Floating Immortal Saint came from the Glazed Sword Sect, founded by the Glazed Saint.
• The Sky-Rending Demon Saint said Fang Chen’s Chaos Demonic Star Vine had caught his son, Tongyun.

The Devil Race learned that the Qingtian Demon Emperor had sent the Flowing Light Emissary to kill Fang Chen, while Fang Chen completed and activated a powerful formation inside the Heaven Refining Furnace. The chapter leaves the furnace absorbing a relentless storm of Heavenly Punishment Divine Lightning.

• The Heavenly Spider Demon Saint and Bone-Corroding Demon Saint spent ten days forcing the Sword Qi from the Sky-Rending Demon Saint, then said the Floating Immortal Saint was too powerful for them to handle.
• The Heavenly Spider Demon Saint told the Sky-Rending Demon Saint that the Qingtian Demon Emperor had emerged from seclusion and dispatched the Flowing Light Emissary with the Demon Sealing Banner to deal with Fang Chen.
• A year later, Fang Chen finished engraving the Formation Runes into the stakes, adding the Devouring God Imprint, and activated them inside the Heaven Refining Furnace.
• The formation drew Heavenly Punishment Divine Lightning, and the Heaven Refining Furnace absorbed nearly every bolt as the Human Race experts watched in shock.

Fang Chen used the Heaven Refining Furnace to strengthen the Floating Immortal Great Array, then tested its new defenses with a full-powered strike. The array remained intact, leaving Fang Chen confident that only a Quasi-Emperor-level expert could break through.

• After an hour, the Heavenly Punishment stopped, and Fang Chen opened the Heaven Refining Furnace to reveal three thousand six hundred enlarged array stakes.
• Fang Chen claimed the stakes with a Soul Imprint and drove them into the ground, where Golden Lotuses spread across a hundred-mile radius and formed a Barrier.
• The completed array erased the Spatial Suppression Force within its Barrier and improved the occupants’ Soul Perception and Saint Force circulation.
• Fang Chen examined the strengthened array’s abilities, then left it to test its defenses.
• Fang Chen struck the Barrier with the final layer of the Nine Layer Wave Sword Technique, but the Barrier held and hurled him back.

Fang Chen finished strengthening the Floating Immortal Great Array and prepared to strike the Devil Race after Little Crane returned with information on seven camps. Her yearlong survey revealed the Sacred Land’s vast scale and the Devil Race’s strength, and Fang Chen set out to investigate the camps for himself.

• Fang Chen returned to the Floating Immortal Great Array, thanked its allies, and proposed moving to a safer place before visiting the Devil Race’s camps.
• Fang Chen contacted Little Crane and learned that she had located seven Devil Race camps.
• Little Crane returned a day later and told Fang Chen that she had also found ancient Ruins inhabited by powerful Sacred Beasts.
• Little Crane transmitted a year’s worth of terrain and environmental information directly into Fang Chen’s mind.
• Fang Chen concluded that the Devil Race was far stronger and more widespread than he had realized, and questioned why it had not sent Invincible Demon Saints after the Dragon Race’s Heavenly Demon Remnants.
• Fang Chen decided to visit the Devil Race’s camps and search for their treasures.

Fang Chen brought his people to the Cloud Pine Mountain Range and set up the Floating Immortal Great Array as a camp. The Purple-Eyed Vajra Giant Apes attacked the new Formation, and Fang Chen commanded them to be bound.

• Fang Chen ordered Little Crane to carry everyone to the Cloud Pine Mountain Range, where he planned to establish a temporary camp.
• Little Crane brought the group safely to the range, and Fang Chen went ahead alone to choose a site and summon the Floating Immortal Great Array.
• The Purple-Eyed Vajra Giant Apes warned Fang Chen to leave their territory, but he ignored them and drove the Array’s stakes into the ground.
• Golden lotus leaves spread across the mountains and formed a Barrier around the range, trapping the apes inside.
• The Purple-Eyed Vajra Giant Apes hammered the Barrier, but it remained unharmed, and Fang Chen commanded them to be bound.

Fang Chen defeated the Purple-eyed Vajra Giant Ape King with the Floating Immortal Great Array and forced it to submit. After empowering its Natal Spirit Pearl with Devouring God Imprints, he tasked the ape king and its people with protecting his people in the mountains, and the other apes also submitted.

• Fang Chen used the Floating Immortal Great Array and his techniques to crush the Purple-eyed Vajra Giant Ape King’s bones and defeat it.
• Fang Chen offered the ape king a choice between submission and death, and the ape king chose to submit by giving him its Natal Spirit Pearl.
• Fang Chen branded the pearl with his Soul Imprint and Devouring God Imprints, giving it powerful Devouring Power before returning it to the ape king.
• Fang Chen told the ape king to help his people repel or kill intruders, promising to protect the ape king and its people in return.
• The Purple-eyed Vajra Giant Ape King pledged to protect Fang Chen’s people, and the other Purple-Eyed Vajra Giant Apes declared their submission.

After securing the mountain range, Fang Chen took Saint Qingyuan and other Longevity Valley experts to investigate Devil Race Camp Number Nine, the Abyss Camp. Little Crane carried them into the Abyss to scout the camp before Fang Chen decided whether to attack and loot it.

• Fang Chen kept the Floating Immortal Great Array’s Spatial Pressure at one-tenth strength and sent the other factions to search the mountain range with the Purple-eyed Vajra Giant Ape King.
• Myna Bird pointed out that Saint Qingyuan and the Longevity Valley experts could identify and dig up spirit medicines, so Fang Chen brought them along.
• Fang Chen refused Chen Xiaofei and Ye Kong’s request to join, telling them to stay and cultivate.
• Fang Chen chose distant Camp Number Nine over nearby Camp Number Twelve to avoid alerting the Devil Race.
• Little Crane brought Fang Chen and the others to the Abyss Camp, where they saw Devil Race cultivators emerging from the depths, then flew down into the Abyss to scout.

Fang Chen and his companions entered the Devil Race camp aboard Little Crane, scouting its treasures and defenses while avoiding detection. They reached the camp’s core, where dense Demonic Qi made the surroundings dangerous for the Human Race.

• Fang Chen and his companions saw Dark Blood Scale Bees and their valuable hives, and Fang Chen said they would take them later.
• Fang Chen had Little Crane carry the group past the Barrier toward the Devil Race camp to scout before making a move.
• The Myna identified the enormous weapons in the mountainside caverns as Demon Sound Cannons, which could damage an Invincible Saint’s soul.
• Little Crane passed through multiple Barriers and carried Fang Chen’s group into the core of the camp.
• 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.
• Little Crane took Fang Chen and the others to desolate ancient ruins, then left with the Myna bird to investigate the camp.
• 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.
