Chapter Summaries

Luo Hong combined thirty-six Soul Annihilation Curse talismans into an array and struck Blood Yin as Old Demon Qingyang seemed to win their body-seizure battle. The attack left Luo Hong badly injured, and although Blood Yin appeared lifeless, he suddenly turned his head and stared at Luo Hong.

• Luo Hong warned that the orb was about to explode and flew away with Yuan Yao while Old Demon Qingyang failed to regain control of it.

Luo Hong and Yuan Yao survived the Blood Sea’s destruction, recovered the hidden Sacrificial Altar, and prepared to leave the Rakshasa Ghost Mansion. After sending Han Yunzhi and Zhen Lan away, Luo Hong used Old Demon Qingyang’s painting to teleport with Yuan Yao and the coffins toward the mansion’s entrance.

• Old Demon Qingyang’s unstable Two-Colored Strange Orb swallowed him and consumed almost the entire Blood Sea before contracting into a Blood-Colored Sphere, while Luo Hong and Yuan Yao escaped underground.
• Luo Hong found the sphere resting on a Restriction net in the Giant Pit and stored it in his Myriad Treasures Pouch, causing the hidden Sacrificial Altar to reappear.

Luo Hong hid in an underground cave to recover from his primordial spirit injury and sent Yuan Yao to find Han Li in Yuanwu Kingdom. In Great Jin, Yan Jing reported the Rakshasa Prefect’s threat to the Living Buddha, who concluded that Luo Hong was likely Buddha’s Child reincarnated and would have to endure reincarnation again.

• Luo Hong recognized the cave formation as connected to the Rakshasa Ghost Mansion, then suffered pain when he used his injured spiritual sense.

After escaping the Rakshasa Ghost Mansion, Luo Hong reunited with Han Li and Yuan Yao, traded treasures, and learned that Nangong Wan was being forced into marriage. The group separated to recover, while Yuan Yao began refining Profound Yin Ghost Qi and Luo Hong healed for half a year.

• The Little Monk deduced that Luo Hong had destroyed the Rakshasa Ghost Mansion's entrance and sent Yan Jing to verify whether Luo Hong had defeated the Prefect.

Luo Hong and Yuan Yao traveled to Dry Gold Valley, where he hoped to find spirit materials that might become Geng Gold, while disguising their cultivation. At the valley, they encountered Ghost Spirit Sect members Wang Tiangu, Wang Chan, and Yan Ruyan, and Luo Hong’s arrival at the sect’s station prompted a greeting for a newly appointed Elder.

• Luo Hong decided to visit Dry Gold Valley to search for spirit materials and traveled there with Yuan Yao while concealing their cultivation as Foundation Establishment cultivators.
• Wang Tiangu delivered a Restriction Token to Wang Chan and Yan Ruyan, then ordered them to spend a year using Gold Wind Body Washing to remove demonic influence from Wang Chan’s Magic Power.

• Luo Hong and Yuan Yao arrived at the market town and went to the Ghost Spirit Sect’s building to rent a moderate-intensity wind vent.
• A Ghost Spirit Sect Disciple hurried past Luo Hong and greeted him as the newly appointed Elder.

Luo Hong and Yuan Yao entered Dry Gold Valley to search for Shuofeng Gold, while Wang Chan and Yan Ruyan arrived to temper their cultivation in the valley’s Gold Wind. They encountered Dong Xuan'er and Qian Mulan, and Dong Xuan'er mocked Wang Chan’s weakness in front of Yan Ruyan.

• Yan Ruyan sensed a threat from Yuan Yao and offered Luo Hong and Yuan Yao free access to a wind outlet, while Wang Chan decided to investigate them rather than summon help.
• Luo Hong and Yuan Yao overheard Wang Chan and Yan Ruyan’s conversation, then entered Dry Gold Valley through the wind outlet to search for valuable ore.

• Dong Xuan'er and Qian Mulan arrived, and Dong Xuan'er revealed that Qian Mulan was the woman she had been pursuing.
• Dong Xuan'er mocked Wang Chan for being weaker than Yan Ruyan and taunted him while he clung to Yan Ruyan’s wrist to share the Gold Wind’s pain.
• Dong Xuan'er invited Yan Ruyan to join the Joyous Union Sect and offered to be her husband, calling Wang Chan inadequate.

Luo Hong and Yuan Yao searched Sword-Slaying Rift for a rare mineral while Qian Mulan trained in Dry Gold Valley and uncovered Blood Marrow with help from an old monster. Wang Chan and Yan Ruyan recognized the treasure and turned on Qian Mulan, leaving her to face them alone.

• Dong Xuan'er exposed Qian Mulan to the Gold Wind, and Qian Mulan endured it while Wang Chan struggled to control his anger.
• Luo Hong and Yuan Yao descended into Sword-Slaying Rift, where Luo Hong released Blood Puppet Flying Ants to collect a rare material from the ore vein.
• Qian Mulan sensed creatures beneath the ground and captured Blood-colored Flying Ants, which her old monster revealed contained Blood Marrow useful for refining an External Incarnation.
• Wang Chan and Yan Ruyan tried and failed to destroy the Blood-colored Flying Ants, then recognized them as Ancient Demon Blood Marrow and decided to kill Qian Mulan to keep the discovery secret.
• Qian Mulan sensed their killing intent, raised her bone spear, and warned them that she was Dong Xuan'er's honored guest, but Wang Chan and Yan Ruyan concealed themselves in a blood cloud and attacked.

Luo Hong and Yuan Yao watched Qian Mulan battle Wang Chan and Yan Ruyan, but intervened when the couple poisoned and threatened her. Luo Hong reclaimed his spirit insects and tested his newly acquired Rakshasa Blood Pearl against Wang Chan’s magic treasure, leaving the confrontation unresolved.

• Qian Mulan used her Bizarre Bone Spear to break through Wang Chan and Yan Ruyan’s Blood Transformation Demonic Light and Blood Demon defenses, then spared Wang Chan despite gaining the advantage.
• Wang Chan revealed that the Blood Cloud contained Purple Miasma Corrosive Poison, which weakened Qian Mulan and let him take her bone spear.
• Luo Hong and Yuan Yao arrived, with Yuan Yao blocking Yan Ruyan’s Fierce Soul Chain and Luo Hong reclaiming his twelve Blood Puppet Flying Ants from Qian Mulan.
• Wang Chan and Yan Ruyan attacked Luo Hong and Yuan Yao, but Luo Hong used the Rakshasa Blood Pearl to drain blood qi from Wang Chan’s Blood-colored Skull.
• Wang Chan’s life-bound magic treasure was badly weakened, and Luo Hong sent the Rakshasa Blood Pearl toward Wang Chan and Yan Ruyan.

• Dong Xuan'er arrived at the valley, accused Wang Chan and Yan Ruyan of harming Qian Mulan, and disrupted their healing despite their denials.
• At a Nameless Pavilion, Luo Hong asked Qian Mulan how she had become involved with Dong Xuan'er, leaving Qian Mulan embarrassed.

Luo Hong learned how to handle the Blood Roar Eye from the Silver-Eyed Rat in exchange for Blood Marrow, then returned toward Yellow Maple Valley with Yuan Yao. A month later, Lord Jin flew into the distance from White Flame Mountain, and Luo Bin chased after it while Liu Xingye was sent to find Ancestor Luo.

• Qian Mulan said Dong Xuan'er had kept pestering her since her Charm Technique failed, and the Silver-Eyed Rat warned her not to expose the Weeping Blood Spear near the Blood Roar Eye.
• Luo Hong revealed that he could hear the Silver-Eyed Rat's telepathic speech, and the Old Monster appeared as a nearly dissipated remnant soul.
• The Silver-Eyed Rat explained that the Blood Roar Eye could counter Blood Path Divine Abilities and enable its wielder to cultivate Heavenly Gang Blood Thunder, then demanded Blood Marrow to teach Luo Hong how to use it.
• Luo Hong gave the Silver-Eyed Rat forty portions of Blood Marrow, received a jade slip explaining the Blood Roar Eye, and left with Yuan Yao for Yellow Maple Valley.
• The Silver-Eyed Rat chose to avoid cooperating with Luo Hong, while Qian Mulan flew back to Mist Mountain as the Old Monster promised to help her advance her cultivation.
• One month later, Liu Xingye and Luo Bin worried about Lord Jin's worsening temper and the Tree Demons near its nest, then Luo Bin chased after the giant golden condor and sent Liu Xingye to inform Ancestor Luo.

Luo Hong returned to Yellow Maple Valley just as Yu Ruoxi reached the final stage of Nascent Soul Formation, where her transformation produced a dangerous Ice Phoenix Phantom. The phantom exploded in a devastating Blue Spirit Wave, freezing Luo Hong, Little Gold, and Yuan Yao in midair.

• Luo Hong reunited with Little Gold and learned from Luo Bin that Yellow Maple Valley's Mountain Protecting Great Formation had been active for over a month.
• Luo Hong hurried to Yellow Maple Valley and found Yu Ruoxi undergoing Nascent Soul Formation while Ancestor Linghu, Fan Mengyi, and Wang Qingqing guarded her cave dwelling.
• Yu Ruoxi's Nascent Soul Formation produced an Ice Phoenix Phantom that drew in Spiritual Qi from hundreds of miles around.
• Luo Hong evacuated nearby disciples and arranged a Defensive Great Formation with the Five Elements Banner and Five Elements Flood Dragons.
• The Ice Phoenix Phantom exploded into a Blue Spirit Wave that overwhelmed Luo Hong's formation and froze Luo Hong, Little Gold, and Yuan Yao inside a massive block of blue ice.

Luo Hong survived the Blue Spirit Wave but remained trapped in Mystic Ice until Yu Ruoxi helped free him after completing her Nascent Soul formation. Yuan Yao, after speaking privately with Yu Ruoxi, decided to leave Luo Hong and travel alone, despite his attempts to persuade her to stay.

• Luo Hong's formation weakened the Blue Spirit Wave, but Mystic Ice sealed him and transformed the mountain into an Ice Peak.
• The Five Elements Flood Dragons considered fleeing, but the Golden-scaled Flood Dragon's obedience to Luo Hong triggered the Divine Restraint Technique and stopped the others.
• Luo Hong told Ancestor Linghu he was unharmed, asked him to keep the flood dragons secret, and requested help breaking the ice after Yu Ruoxi emerged from seclusion.
• After a month, Yu Ruoxi arrived and drew away the Mystic Ice until Luo Hong and Little Gold broke free.
• Yu Ruoxi and Yuan Yao spoke privately while Luo Hong fetched Ancestor Linghu, and Yuan Yao later told Luo Hong she intended to leave and travel alone.
• Luo Hong grabbed Yuan Yao's wrist and insisted that he needed her help with his cultivation.

Luo Hong persuaded Yuan Yao to help refine the Sea Suppressing Bead into a Universe Treasure, then recovered from his injury and attended to several matters at White Flame Mountain. When Ancestor Linghu invited him to the Yu Country Trade Fair, Luo Hong declined and began preparing for the approaching war with the Mulan Grasslands.

• Luo Hong explained that Yuan Yao’s Heavenly Yin Body could supply the utmost yin power needed to refine the Sea Suppressing Bead, and Yuan Yao agreed to help.
• Luo Hong healed his primordial spirit injury in a little over two years and discovered that the Soul Nurturing Wood had improved the quality of his spiritual sense.
• Luo Hong collected a Blood God Pill refined from Lu Lian’s Physical Body and told Yuan Yao he would not consume it.
• Ancestor Linghu invited Luo Hong to the Yu Country Trade Fair, but Luo Hong declined to avoid the dangers he associated with Old Demon Han’s adventures.
• Luo Hong considered the approaching war and Divine Master Zhong’s likely threat, then took out several items to begin preparing in his Quiet Room.

Luo Hong began a mutation experiment to recreate a Three-eyed Flower Leopard’s Petrifying Demon Eye in Old Monster Tianhen, using Little Gold’s Form-Destroying Golden Light. The newly formed eye unleashed a petrifying beam at Luo Hong, which struck his prepared Restriction Light Barrier.

• Luo Hong weighed the Heavenly Eye and mutation plans, then chose to test the danger of mutation before making his final decision.
• Luo Hong fed tens of thousands of Blood Puppet Flying Ants to the Blood Roar Eye to restore its power for the Heavenly Eye plan.
• Luo Hong explained that Old Monster Tianhen’s primordial spirit had been erased and began using him as experimental material.
• Little Gold used Form-Destroying Golden Light to open Old Monster Tianhen’s brow and reveal a Double-Pupil Leopard Eye.
• The Double-Pupil Leopard Eye fired a yellow spirit light at Luo Hong, and his Restriction Light Barrier began turning to stone where it struck.

Luo Hong discovered that Old Monster Tianhen’s Indestructible Body relied on hidden Double-Strand Silver Runes that could mimic ordinary Silver Runes and required Blood and Essence to sustain their transformations. He realized this discovery joined his research into Silver Runes with his efforts to create an Indestructible Body, revealing a new path forward.

• Little Gold successfully gave Old Monster Tianhen a vertical eye that could use the Petrification Divine Ability, but the mutation began reverting soon afterward.
• Luo Hong cut the mutated flesh from Old Monster Tianhen and discovered that its Silver Runes still reversed into their original forms outside the body.
• Luo Hong observed that mutated Silver Runes passed through a Double-Strand form, and those lacking sufficient essence collapsed into chaotic transformations.
• Luo Hong found that directly mutating normal Silver Runes into Double-Strand Silver Runes caused them to revert without consuming essence, proving Double-Strand Silver Runes were the true form within Old Monster Tianhen’s body.
• Luo Hong concluded that the Double-Strand Silver Runes sustained Old Monster Tianhen’s Indestructible Body and saw a new path emerge from combining his two lines of research.

Luo Hong discovered how Double-Strand Silver Runes could be controlled to create reversible transformations, and used the discovery to devise a new eye-based divine ability. He named it the Myriad Forms Divine Eye and planned to use it to transform the Blood Roar Eye into other divine and demonic eyes.

• Luo Hong found that Double-Strand Silver Runes could not transform back on their own, but the Blood God Pill made them devour ordinary Silver Runes.
• Luo Hong used Little Gold's Form-Destroying Golden Light to correct the devouring process and refine Flood Dragon Whisker into an indestructible material.
• Luo Hong demonstrated that a Flood Dragon Essence Soul could control an Indestructible Flood Dragon Tendon's transformations while it absorbed vital essence from Dragon Blood.
• Yuan Yao questioned Luo Hong's experiments, and he explained that he was seeking a divine ability capable of transforming between different eyes.
• Luo Hong decided to refine the Blood Roar Eye into an indestructible body before mutating it, then named the planned ability the Myriad Forms Divine Eye.

Three years after Luo Hong comprehended the Myriad Forms Divine Eye, the Mulan people’s war against the Nine Nations Alliance had advanced into Yu Country, while Old Demon Han escaped Divine Master Zhong’s pursuit. Divine Master Zhong then assigned Yue Yun and three Mulan Grand Masters to capture a Southern Sky cultivator, though the Big-Eared Woman objected to Yue Yun joining them.

• The Mulan people breached border strongholds as Wei Wuya and the Nine Nations Alliance’s leaders used their losses to force Southern Sky factions to support the war effort.
• Yue Yun waited at a cleared stronghold after fighting Old Demon Han, whose sacred treasure Silver Moon had taken and whom Divine Master Zhong had pursued.
• Divine Master Zhong returned without capturing Han Li, explaining that Han escaped beyond his divine sense range using Lightning Escape and a secret demonic art.
• Divine Master Zhong warned Yue Yun that someone in the Southern Sky was more dangerous than Han Li, then met with Madam Yang and the Mo Brothers.
• Divine Master Zhong asked Yue Yun to help Madam Yang and the others capture a Southern Sky cultivator, and the Big-Eared Woman objected to putting Yue Yun at risk.

Divine Master Zhong and Yue Yun planned to capture Luo Hong, who had cultivated the Great Five Elements Universal Saintly Art. Yue Yun agreed to join the operation as a hidden safeguard while the Mulan people prepared for war against Southern Sky.

• Yue Yun realized that Divine Master Zhong had summoned the Mo Brothers because Luo Hong had cultivated the Great Five Elements Universal Saintly Art.
• Divine Master Zhong explained that the Mulan people had to capture Luo Hong before Wei Wuya could recruit him into the Allied Forces.
• The Big-Eared Woman outlined the group’s countermeasures against Luo Hong’s escape techniques, treasures, and White Sparrow Transformation.
• Divine Master Zhong asked Yue Yun to remain hidden in case Luo Hong had developed another escape technique.
• Yue Yun agreed to accompany the Big-Eared Woman and the others on their mission to capture Luo Hong.

Luo Hong shut down the Demon Feeding Tower as the Mulan invasion approached, explaining to Yuan Yao why he expected the war to have limited consequences for him. After receiving an Allied Forces summons to Heaven-Filled City, he wondered whether the cultivator alliance meant to use him as cannon fodder.

• Luo Hong harvested Soul Nurturing Pearls from the Black Domain Demons and temporarily shut down the Demon Feeding Tower.
• Luo Hong told Yuan Yao that the Mulan-Southern Sky war would likely end in peace negotiations and that he could stay safe by avoiding a siege.
• Luo Hong fed a Soul Nurturing Pearl to Little Gold and revealed that he had refined his own Mysterious Yin Eye into a Myriad Forms Divine Eye.
• Luo Hong teleported to the Demon Sealing Hall and received an Allied Forces message summoning him to Heaven-Filled City.
• Luo Hong questioned the summons because he believed the alliance had planned to abandon Heaven-Filled City, and suspected they wanted him to delay the Mulan forces.
