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.

• 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 entered the second hive and sealed it again to keep the Dark Blood Scale Bees inside.

• 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.

• 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, 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 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.
