Chapter Summaries

Luo Hong overwhelmed Wen Tianren’s Six Extremes Manifestation on the Thousand-Jin Path, forcing Wen Tianren to flee toward the fifteenth level. As Luo Hong prepared to pursue him, he instead teleported in front of Ling Yuling.

• Wen Tianren dispelled the Six Extremes Manifestation, donned armor, and fled up the Black Stone Steps to the fifteenth level.
• Luo Hong moved to pursue Wen Tianren, then changed course and teleported in front of Ling Yuling.

Luo Hong carried Ling Yuling up the Thousand-Jin Path, unveiling a powerful white-scaled battle form that let him race past the other climbers. Wen Tianren escaped using Sea Ape King blood, but Luo Hong and Ling Yuling reached the top of the path.

• Luo Hong carried Ling Yuling past the Seventh-grade Flood Dragons near the summit, crushing one Azure Flood Dragon's claw when he landed on it.
• Luo Hong reached the top, dismissed his battle armor, and set Ling Yuling down.

Luo Hong learned that Ling Yuling had sought him because she believed he was pursuing Purple Heaven Divine Thunder and wanted to verify the path to Acquired Spiritual Roots for the Twin Saints of Tianxing. After explaining that his Wood Spiritual Root came from a method unsuitable for her, he left her determined to keep searching for a way forward.

• Luo Hong and Ling Yuling reached the summit of Thousand-Jin Path, where Ling Yuling thanked him for stopping Wen Tianren's scheme against Star Palace.
• Ling Yuling discovered that Luo Hong had not come to Star Luo Island for Purple Heaven Divine Thunder and explained how she had mistaken his lightning ability for an attempt to cultivate it.
• Luo Hong realized that the Purple Heaven Divine Thunder in his Niwan Palace had absorbed tribulation lightning, and he considered how controlling it might let him defy the Heavenly Dao.
• Luo Hong questioned Ling Yuling about why she had spent years searching for him, and she admitted she wanted to confirm whether Acquired Spiritual Roots were possible for the Twin Saints of Tianxing.
• Luo Hong told Ling Yuling that he had refined his Wood Spiritual Root through the Technique Refinement Method, but warned that it was unsuitable for her.
• Ling Yuling accepted that she could not use Luo Hong's method and said she was satisfied simply to know that a path forward existed.

Ling Yuling explained the ancient history of the Sea Ape Holy Land and the Spirit Transformation Demon Lamp, while Luo Hong discovered the demonic flame was greatly diminished. After accepting Ling Yuling’s Purple Heaven Divine Thunder jade slip, Luo Hong realized the Golden Flood Dragon King had targeted him and decided to flee after the lightning tribulation.

• Ling Yuling told Luo Hong that the Sea Ape race once ruled the Chaotic Star Sea under the Great Sage Who Crushes the Sea, whose Holy Land they had found.
• Ling Yuling explained that the Spirit Opening Demonic Flame could awaken Demon Beasts’ intelligence and that Wen Tianren had planned to use it to control an army.
• Luo Hong and Ling Yuling inspected the lamp and found that its flame had dwindled to a fraction of its legendary strength.
• Ling Yuling gave Luo Hong a jade slip containing the First Generation Palace Master’s research on refining and controlling Purple Heaven Divine Thunder, and he promised not to attack Star Palace Disciples while she remained there.
• Luo Hong recognized that Ling Yuling had come seeking the Thunder Whale’s Eye and realized the Golden Flood Dragon King had likely set the trap to target him.
• Luo Hong decided to abandon the Creation Thunder Liquid and Thunder Whale’s Eye and escape with Ling Yuling and the others using the Four Symbols Teleportation Talisman after the lightning tribulation passed.

Luo Hong subdued the Spirit Transformation Demon Lamp’s corrupted flame and used it to awaken five Seventh-grade Flood Dragons, then harvested the remaining dragons for their valuable materials. As the tribulation neared its end, Wen Tianren sent a Gold-Bottom Talisman and the Golden Flood Dragon King returned with the Flood Dragon Clan of the Chaotic Star Sea.

• Luo Hong trapped the little pink monkey, discovered its spirit was clouded by resentful baleful qi, and brought Ling Yuling’s three subordinates to the summit.
• Luo Hong chose five Seventh-grade Flood Dragons and used the demon flame to awaken their spirits before placing the Divine Restraint Technique on them.
• Luo Hong harvested the unchosen flood dragons for their tendons, hides, and other valuable materials, then meditated while waiting for the tribulation to end.
• Wen Tianren left the Holy Land Gate, sent a Gold-Bottom Talisman toward the horizon, and sat beneath the sea to recover.
• As the Tribulation Cloud weakened after ten days, the Golden Flood Dragon King returned with the Flood Dragon Clan of the Chaotic Star Sea.

The Golden Flood Dragon King investigated a captured Nascent Soul demon cultivator and concluded that the cultivator who placed the restriction might be his target. After the Flood Dragons set a trap near Star Luo Island, Wen Tianren emerged from the sea and flew toward the Holy Land Gate, prompting the Golden Flood Dragon King to order the others to pursue him.

• Yu Rong delivered the captured Nascent Soul demon cultivator to the Golden Flood Dragon King, who recognized a powerful restriction on his primordial spirit.
• A crimson-scaled Flood Dragon reported Jade Sky's death, and the Golden Flood Dragon King ordered lower-ranked clanmates to stay away from Star Luo Island.
• Yu Rong sealed the poison-arts cultivator in white jade and left to deliver the Golden Flood Dragon King's order.
• The Golden Flood Dragon King arranged for four transformed Flood Dragons to act as bait while he hid nearby.
• Wen Tianren emerged from the sea with a Golden Horn on his forehead and flew toward the Holy Land Gate without confronting the Flood Dragons.
• The Golden Flood Dragon King identified Wen Tianren's aura as matching the restriction and ordered the Flood Dragons to follow him.

Luo Hong and his companions were trapped on Star Luo Island by Wen Tianren, possessed through the Spirit Attachment Great Method by Six Paths Extreme Saint. As the battle began, Luo Hong was ensnared in a spatial cage and prepared to risk using the Five Elements Evasion Technique to escape.

• Luo Hong tried to teleport away with Ling Yuling and the others, but Wen Tianren’s demonic net disrupted the Four Symbols Teleportation Talisman.
• Ling Yuling recognized that Six Paths Extreme Saint had used the Spirit Attachment Great Method to possess Wen Tianren and lend him cultivation and consciousness.
• Luo Hong tested the demonic net with Blood Puppet Flying Ants and confirmed that it forced anything reaching its edge back to Wen Tianren.
• The Golden Flood Dragon King ordered Chi Lin and the clan to guard the demonic net without interfering, suspecting the cultivators possessed Purple Heaven Divine Thunder.
• Wen Tianren trapped Luo Hong with a Gray Streamer while driving Ling Yuling and the others back with Pale White Moonlight.
• Luo Hong failed to break the spatial cage with a Restriction Breaking Talisman or Nuclear Black Flame and decided to attempt the dangerous Five Elements Evasion Technique.

Luo Hong escaped Six Paths Extreme Saint’s spatial attack but was badly injured, while the Golden Flood Dragon King attacked Six Paths Extreme Saint and Ling Yuling’s group fled. Stranded beside the recovering Three-Eyed Thunder Whale, Luo Hong healed himself with its lightning and then claimed the Creation Thunder Liquid.

• The Golden Flood Dragon King ambushed Six Paths Extreme Saint, whose Indestructible Body healed him, and they fought above Star Luo Island.
• Ling Yuling and her two companions escaped with Great Teleportation Talismans after the Bald Strong Man sacrificed himself to protect them.
• Luo Hong survived the spatial attack by using the Five Elements Evasion Technique, then crashed onto the beach beside the injured Three-Eyed Thunder Whale.
• The Three-Eyed Thunder Whale attacked Luo Hong with lightning, but the purple mark between his brows absorbed most of its power and helped heal his injuries.
• After recovering through the whale’s lightning, Luo Hong thanked it and declared that he would take the Creation Thunder Liquid.

Luo Hong took the Creation Thunder Liquid and prepared to escape Star Luo Island, while the Suanni's scheme against the Golden Flood Dragon King came to a head. The chapter ended with the Golden Flood Dragon King striking at the fleeing “Wen Tianren.”

• Luo Hong decided not to kill the Three-Eyed Thunder Whale for its eye, suspecting the Suanni King had made it a trap, and took the Creation Thunder Liquid instead.
• Luo Hong swallowed all the Creation Thunder Liquid and activated the Four Symbols Teleportation Talisman as “Wen Tianren” began to flee.
• The Humanoid Suanni used the Sky Patrol Mirror to draw the Purple Heaven Divine Thunder from the Divine Thunder Stone Slab and prepared to attack the Golden Flood Dragon King.
• The Six Paths Extreme Saint used a hollow Void Rend Slash to trick the Golden Flood Dragon King while “Wen Tianren” attempted to escape with a secret technique.
• The Golden Flood Dragon King saw through the deception, transformed into his thousand-zhang true form, and sent an enormous dragon claw crashing down at “Wen Tianren.”

The Humanoid Suanni's attack on the Golden Flood Dragon King failed when the Purple Heaven Divine Thunder escaped his control, while Luo Hong teleported away from Star Luo Island. The stray thunder struck Luo Hong and left him severely injured in a Spirit Boat, fighting to survive.

• The Purple Heaven Divine Thunder pierced the Golden Flood Dragon King's body, then escaped after the Sky Patrol Mirror broke and shot toward the Three-Eyed Thunder Whale.
• The Golden Flood Dragon King recovered, sensed the Humanoid Suanni's aura, and drove him off with a rain of golden swords before ordering the sea region sealed.
• The Humanoid Suanni escaped badly injured and headed for the Myriad Zhang Sea Abyss to report the thunder's unusual behavior to Father King.
• Luo Hong used two Four Symbols Teleportation Talismans to reach a sea region a thousand li from Star Luo Island, where the stray Purple Heaven Divine Thunder found him.
• The thunder scorched Luo Hong and drained most of his life force, so he used Nuclear Black Flame to protect his vital organs and summoned a Spirit Boat beneath himself.
• Luo Hong lay in the Spirit Boat, severely injured and concentrating on staying alive.

Luo Hong drifted helplessly through the Chaotic Star Sea while the Creation Thunder Liquid transformed his body and his meridians remained damaged. After he wounded a Level Six Infant Carp Beast with Nuclear Black Flame, three Core Formation cultivators arrived and found the beast floating helplessly beside his spirit boat.

• Luo Hong spent months adrift, monitoring the Silver Runes in his body as the Creation Thunder Liquid strengthened his physique.
• Luo Hong used Nuclear Black Flame to burn the Level Six Infant Carp Beast from within when it attacked his spirit boat.
• Luo Hong recalled the flame after sensing three Core Formation cultivators approaching the wounded beast.
• Feng Tianguan and the two other cultivators followed their Tracking Flag toward the Infant Carp Beast, hoping to claim its materials.
• The three cultivators found the Infant Carp Beast floating belly-up and spotted Luo Hong's charred figure inside a nearby spirit boat.

Luo Hong was rescued from the sea by Feng Xi, who brought him to his cave and healed his badly damaged body in exchange for help refining a magic treasure. After half a year, Luo Hong recovered and discovered that the ordeal had deepened his understanding of Silver Runes, but his Magic Power still needed replenishing.

• Luo Hong persuaded Feng Tianguan and the other two cultivators to spare him by offering a Spirit Beast Bag, but Feng Xi suddenly killed all three and revealed himself as the Shapeshifted Demon Cultivator who had been tracking Luo Hong.
• Feng Xi asked Luo Hong to help refine a magic treasure, and Luo Hong agreed after Feng Xi promised to heal him and offered a reward.
• Feng Xi carried Luo Hong to his underwater cave abode and used Thousand-Year Mussel Mother Essence to heal his injuries before sealing him inside the Coral Room.
• After half a year, Luo Hong broke free of his charred skin, recovered his mobility, and found that he could now independently edit Silver Runes.
• Luo Hong realized that his Magic Power had been depleted and his cultivation realm had fallen, so he resolved to take medicine and cultivate.

After five years of recovery, Luo Hong found his cultivation nearing a breakthrough but remained trapped with Feng Xi nearby and prepared to refine more Nuclear Black Flame as a means of survival. He studied the principles of refining Spirit Particles and devised a way to improve his method, using the data from his Physical Examination Table.

• Luo Hong completed five years of recovery, restored his cultivation, and sensed that his Golden Core was nearing Spirit Ascension.
• Luo Hong judged that he could not defeat Feng Xi directly and decided to rely on strengthening his Nuclear Black Flame in case Old Demon Han did not arrive.
• Luo Hong used True Devilish Qi from his Demonic Hammer to refine a wisp of Nuclear Black Flame in about nine months, but realized he still could not reach his goal in time.
• Luo Hong studied the way of refining and concluded that a cultivator's spirit-bearing magic power contaminated Spirit Particles, with greater particle activity improving the process.
• Luo Hong examined the data on his Physical Examination Table and began devising a more effective way to refine the Nuclear Black Flame.

Luo Hong improved his method for refining Nuclear Black Flame before Old Demon Han arrived at Feng Xi’s cave abode. The two former fellow disciples reunited and, after misleading Feng Xi, privately discussed their predicament, with Luo Hong admitting he had no escape plan yet.

• Luo Hong stabilized the supply of True Devilish Qi and divided the Nuclear Black Flame into smaller portions, cutting the time needed to refine a thread to four months.
• After Feng Xi left his cave abode, Luo Hong suspected Old Demon Han had arrived and put away his refinement equipment.
• Feng Xi introduced Han Li as Young Friend Li to Luo Hong, whom he called Young Friend Zhuo, and tried to provoke hostility by saying Luo Hong had suggested sparing Han Li.
• Luo Hong and Han Li pretended to be strangers and agreed to Feng Xi’s arrangement for Han Li to cultivate while Luo Hong taught him artifact refinement.
• Once Feng Xi left, Luo Hong explained how he had been captured; Han Li said he had come to gather Demon Companion Grass for the Nine-Bend Infant Transformation Pill.
• Han Li asked Luo Hong for an escape plan, but Luo Hong admitted he had not thought of one.

Han Li and Luo Hong prepared to escape Feng Xi by poisoning the Ten Thousand Year Spirit Milk while Han Li advanced to the Late Core Formation Stage. As Feng Xi gathered the Poison Flood Dragon and Giant Turtle to help refine the Wind-Thunder Wings, Luo Hong suspected that a Divine Thunder Stone Slab had sparked a looming conflict between demon rulers.

• Han Li proposed using poison from the Small Green Bottle to hinder Feng Xi, and Luo Hong helped him refine the Azure Flame Wine so he could break through to the Late Core Formation Stage.
• Feng Xi summoned Han Li and Luo Hong to discuss refining the Wind-Thunder Wings and introduced them to the Poison Flood Dragon and Giant Turtle.
• The Poison Flood Dragon threatened Luo Hong, but Feng Xi intervened, and Luo Hong apologized before Feng Xi explained his treasure-refinement plan.
• The Poison Flood Dragon and Giant Turtle agreed to help Feng Xi, then the Poison Flood Dragon revealed that the Flood Dragon Clan was threatening war against the Myriad Zhang Sea Abyss over a secret item.
• Luo Hong suspected that the disputed item was a Divine Thunder Stone Slab and that the Golden Flood Dragon King had suffered a major loss to the Suanni King from Purple Heaven Divine Thunder.

Feng Xi brought Luo Hong and the two demons to prepare for refining the Wind-Thunder Wings, and Luo Hong improved Feng Xi’s Refining Array before securing an oath and a promised reward. The chapter left Luo Hong inspecting the prepared materials as Feng Xi received a private message from the Poison Flood Dragon.

• Feng Xi sent Old Demon Han back to the Coral Room, where he was effectively imprisoned, then led Luo Hong and the two demons to the Earthfire Chamber.
• Luo Hong identified minor flaws in Feng Xi’s Refining Array and adjusted it, reducing its Magic Power consumption.
• Feng Xi asked Luo Hong to preside over the treasure refinement, and Luo Hong demanded an oath that Feng Xi would spare him afterward.
• Feng Xi swore the oath and offered Luo Hong a grand gift, so Luo Hong requested the Azure Flame Wine recipe.
• Feng Xi gave Luo Hong the recipe but explained that brewing the wine required a Level 8 Demonic Core and the Wind-Splitting Beast clan’s innate ability.
• Feng Xi opened the platform’s concealed compartments to reveal the supplementary materials, and Luo Hong began inspecting them as the Poison Flood Dragon sent Feng Xi a voice transmission.

Luo Hong gained Feng Xi’s trust by using his Nuclear Black Flame to purify the spirit materials, then joined Feng Xi, the Poison Flood Dragon, and the Giant Turtle in beginning the Thunder Roc Bone Wings’ refinement. As Feng Xi prepared to fuse in the Wind Marrow Crystal, he warned Luo Hong not to make a mistake.

• Feng Xi secretly told the Poison Flood Dragon and the Giant Turtle that they could eat Luo Hong and Han Li after the refinement, unaware Luo Hong could hear their transmission.
• Luo Hong pointed out impurities in the prepared spirit materials and demonstrated that his Nuclear Black Flame could purify them.
• Feng Xi praised Luo Hong’s refinement skill, and Luo Hong purified the remaining materials over several days before resting for three days.
• Feng Xi placed Luo Hong and Han Li inside a trapping formation while he, the Poison Flood Dragon, and the Giant Turtle activated the artifact-refining formation.
• The three demons repaired the Thunder Roc Bone Wings and began fusing the supplementary materials into them.
• Feng Xi told Luo Hong to prepare for the Wind Marrow Crystal and warned that he would turn hostile if anything went wrong.

Luo Hong and Han Li used the Green Liquid to cripple the demons during the final refinement of Feng Xi’s Wind-Thunder Wings. Feng Xi’s Green Liquid erupted, but his white light shield repelled Luo Hong’s Sea Suppressing Bead, leaving their fight unresolved.

• Feng Xi planted Wind Spirit Energy inside Han Li and forced him to provide wood-element spiritual qi for seven days.
• Luo Hong signaled Han Li to bait the demons with Green Liquid, and Han Li handed over the jade bottle after enduring Feng Xi’s Wind Spirit Energy.
• The Giant Turtle and Poison Flood Dragon became incapacitated after drinking the Green Liquid.
• Feng Xi struck Han Li, but Luo Hong’s Lightless Shield blunted the attack, and Han Li’s Imperial Scale Armor protected him from serious injury.
• Luo Hong told Han Li to handle the incapacitated demons while he fought Feng Xi, whose Green Liquid erupted and forced him to one knee.
• Luo Hong attacked Feng Xi with the Sea Suppressing Bead, but Feng Xi’s white light shield knocked it away.

Luo Hong used the Nuclear Black Flame to break through Feng Xi’s protective treasure and burn off his arm, but Feng Xi survived by severing it. Han Li killed the Poison Flood Dragon, and the two took the Wind-Thunder Wings and fled, leaving Feng Xi alive.

• Luo Hong’s Nuclear Black Flame melted through Feng Xi’s protective white light and burned his right arm, forcing Feng Xi to sever it to stop the flames.
• Han Li released tens of thousands of Gold Devouring Insects, which broke through the Poison Flood Dragon’s defenses and killed him.
• Luo Hong captured the Giant Turtle’s Essence Soul with the Nuclear Black Flame and took the turtle’s body.
• Han Li broke through the shield around the Wind-Thunder Wings and retrieved them.
• Luo Hong and Han Li fled toward the cave residence entrance, leaving Feng Xi alive and still suppressing the Green Liquid.

Luo Hong and Han Li fled Feng Xi together toward Nanli Island, then paused to refine the Wind-Thunder Wings after Feng Xi's pursuit eased. Han Li mastered their lightning escape ability, while Luo Hong revealed his own teleportation technique, and the two continued their journey together.

• Luo Hong led Han Li out of the cave and urged him to flee separately, but changed his mind when Luo Hong explained that Ling Yuling could help them reach the Inner Sea through a Teleportation Array.
• Luo Hong and Han Li flew toward Nanli Island, and five days later Feng Xi sensed the Wind Spirit Energy in Han Li and began pursuing them.
• After more than twenty days of flight, Han Li told Luo Hong that the Wind Spirit Energy had stopped flaring, suggesting Feng Xi had given up on catching them immediately.
• Han Li and Luo Hong settled on a reef and spent ten days completing the refinement of the Wind-Thunder Wings, with Han Li adding Exorcism Divine Thunder.
• Han Li tested the wings and discovered their Lightning Escape Technique could teleport him, then saw Luo Hong demonstrate teleportation with the Five Elements Evasion Technique.
