Chapter Summaries

Luo Hong and his companions defeated the beasts guarding their route, refined Bat-skin Cloaks to disguise themselves as Night Bat Demons, and entered the Dark Forest. Near the core region, Luo Hong detected a huge Night Bat Demon swarm led by a Demon King, forcing the group to reconsider their route.

• Luo Hong restrained and crushed two Primordial Transformation Beasts while Lei Yunzi killed two others, and Ling Feng and Qing Kong slew the One-Eyed Yuan Transformation Beast as Fairy Ming Xia captured Night Bat Demons.
• The group refined Bat-skin Cloaks using the Night Bat Demons' Essence Souls, and Luo Hong used the Netherworld Grotto-heaven and Bone-Corroding Demonic Fire to finish his cloak first.
• Luo Hong, Ling Feng, Qing Kong, and Ming Xia disguised themselves as Night Bat Demons and flew into the Dark Forest, while a swarm of one-eyed Primordial Transformation Beasts gathered at the swamp behind them.
• After six days of flight, Ling Feng proposed detouring around the Night Bat Demon King's territory, but Ming Xia questioned whether it was necessary.
• Luo Hong used his Blood Roar Eye to spot a massive Night Bat Demon swarm led by a Demon King, and Ling Feng ordered the group to detour immediately.

Luo Hong and his companions were caught between a Night Bat Demon army and a horde of Primordial Transformation Beasts, so they chose to hide among the demons. Luo Hong’s bloodline power unexpectedly made him the new leader of a large group of Night Bat Demons, and he spotted something among their cargo that gave him a new idea.

• Luo Hong and the others discovered they were trapped between a massive Night Bat Demon swarm and approaching Primordial Transformation Beasts, caught in the middle of a war between the two clans.
• Ling Feng proposed that Luo Hong use his concealment treasure to blend into the Night Bat Demon army, and Qing Kong, Lei Yunzi, and Ming Xia agreed to rely on him.
• Owl, a named Great Night Bat Demon commanding other Great Night Bat Demons, confronted Luo Hong’s group after sensing their arrival.
• Luo Hong unleashed bloodline pressure through the Blood Law, forcing Owl back and causing the surrounding Great Night Bat Demons to submit to Luo Hong instead.
• Owl fled while Ling Feng warned that taking command could make escape harder, and Luo Hong noticed the adult Night Bat Demons transporting goods at the rear and formed a new plan.

Luo Hong and his companions followed the Night Bat Demons to a valley where tens of thousands of Myriad Transformation Stones formed a stone mountain. They discovered that two Night Bat Demon Kings were using the stones to repair a damaged Black Jade Plaza, and the young Demon King began sweeping the stones into its broken areas.

• Luo Hong spotted Myriad Transformation Stones carried by the Night Bat Demons and persuaded his companions to follow the swarm in search of more.
• After flying for a day and night, Luo Hong and the others reached a valley with a stone mountain made of tens of thousands of Myriad Transformation Stones.
• The swarm left the valley after a roar, revealing an old and a young Human-faced Night Bat Demon King watching from a giant tree.
• Luo Hong deduced that the damaged Black Jade Plaza was part of Dark Forest’s restrictions and that the Demon Kings intended to restore it with the stones.
• The Old Demon King channeled Demonic Power into the plaza, and the young Demon King swept Myriad Transformation Stones into its damaged areas.

Luo Hong’s disguise was nearly exposed, but he used the Blood Roar Demon Eye to gain the Female Demon King’s favor and shield the Black Jade Plaza from the Primordial Transformation Beasts’ first volley. When a spatial rift opened behind the valley and a second beast horde attacked, Luo Hong convinced Ling Feng’s group and Lei Yunzi to help him while he prepared to refine the Myriad Transformation Stones.

• Luo Hong blended in with the blood-talisman Night Bat Demons, but Owl identified him to the young Demon King.
• Luo Hong revealed his Blood Roar Demon Eye, and the Female Demon King marked him, gave him a pearl, and killed Owl.
• Luo Hong spotted the Primordial Transformation Beasts preparing a volley and blocked their first ambush with a Blood Light Screen.
• Ling Feng and Luo Hong connected the beasts’ abnormal tactics to the missing Youxu Clan cultivator Zhou, just as a spatial rift opened behind the valley.
• The Night Bat Demons and Primordial Transformation Beasts began a fierce battle, while Luo Hong persuaded Ling Feng’s group and Lei Yunzi to cooperate with his plan.
• After the five cultivators revealed their true forms, Ling Feng’s group took positions to defend the stone mountain as Luo Hong began refining two Myriad Transformation Stones with Bone-Corroding Demonic Fire.

Luo Hong used twelve Myriad Transformation Stone beads to unleash a Universe Backlash that devastated the Primordial Transformation Beasts and turned the battle in the Night Bat Demons’ favor. He and his companions escaped, while the disguised Six-armed Primordial Transformation Beast pursued his own plans, and the group reunited at a rendezvous point in the Flame Mountain.

• Luo Hong detonated the twelve White Beads, using Universe Power to pull thousands of Primordial Transformation Beasts into them and tear apart those caught between them.
• The Six-armed Primordial Transformation Beast retreated as the Night Bat Demons gained the advantage, and Luo Hong and the others collected Myriad Transformation Stones before fleeing the valley.
• The Female Demon King picked up a red-and-blue orb and pursued Luo Hong, while the Old Demon King stayed behind and led the Night Bat Demons deeper into the Dark Forest.
• The injured Six-armed Primordial Transformation Beast revealed himself as a Green-haired Youxu Clan cultivator and planned to capture Luo Hong’s group near the Evil Dragon Camp.
• Seven days later, Lei Yunzi reached the Flame Mountain rendezvous, where Luo Hong told him he had removed the Female Demon King’s mark and learned that Lei Yunzi needed bounties to obtain the rest of a Heavenly Book cultivation art.
• Luo Hong sensed Ling Feng and the others arriving and went with Lei Yunzi to greet them.

Luo Hong and the others reached the Evil Dragon Camp and broke through its weakened Heavenly Fiend Primordial Qi Shield. Inside, they encountered restrictions that teleported them to a platform and forced them toward a dangerous staircase, where Ling Feng’s Primordial Transformation Beast was drawn from his body.

• Luo Hong and the others traveled through the dangerous region, evading a war beast and defeating six Blue-scaled Alien Race cultivators.
• After reaching the Evil Dragon Camp, Luo Hong used the Sky-Piercing Purple Gold Hammer to break a gap in the camp’s shield.
• Luo Hong sent his White Dragon Fiend Spirit through the gap to consume the gathered fiendish qi, then entered the camp with the others.
• A restriction teleported Luo Hong and his companions to an elevated platform, where they discovered that leaving by the stairs triggered a dangerous restriction.
• Ling Feng tested the stairs and found that retreating would teleport him elsewhere; a Primordial Transformation Beast head then began emerging from his body.

Luo Hong climbed the punishment steps in the Evil Dragon Camp ahead of his companions and explored a nearby building, where he discovered a Dragon Claw Treasure Pearl that controlled a military exchange hall. The exchange stores had been emptied, but Luo Hong suspected the pearl itself was a marvelous Strange Treasure.

• Luo Hong deduced that strength or baleful aura could offset the restriction’s punishment, and he and his companions began climbing the stone steps.
• Luo Hong reached the top with ease while Ling Feng, Qing Kong, Ming Xia, and Lei Yunzi struggled; Ming Xia merged with the Blood Mantis but still fell behind.
• Luo Hong entered the camp interior and chose to explore a nearby building rather than approach the heavily restricted commander’s tent alone.
• Silver Fairy advised Luo Hong to wear the Heavenly Fiend Evil Dragon Armor, allowing him to pass through the building’s white gate.
• Luo Hong touched the Dragon Claw Treasure Pearl and learned from Silver Fairy that it governed a military exchange hall, but his attempts to exchange baleful souls for pills failed because the stores were empty.
• Luo Hong concluded that the Dragon Claw Treasure Pearl itself might be a marvelous Strange Treasure.

Luo Hong discovered that the Dragon Claw Treasure Pearl could transfer sha qi between people and used it to replenish Ling Feng and the others. While they searched the Evil Dragon Camp for treasure, he began investigating the pearl’s principles and concluded that the Great Dao of Sha was linked to the Great Dao of Space.

• Luo Hong destroyed the restriction around the Dragon Claw Treasure Pearl, took it, and tested its ability with Ling Feng after Ling Feng and the others arrived.
• Ling Feng read the pearl’s ancient Evil Dragon Clan text, which described exchanging Primordial Transformation Beast fiend souls for spiritual items, and Luo Hong said the treasure vault had been emptied.
• Luo Hong transferred five hundred strands of fiend souls into sha qi for each of his four companions, confirming that the pearl could transfer sha qi between people.
• Ling Feng organized the group’s search of the camp, while Luo Hong stayed behind to study the pearl and reasoned that human sha was tied to the physical body and the Great Dao of Space.
• After the group found a treasure vault with spiritual items, Ling Feng proposed splitting up to search for Evil Dragon Pills, but Luo Hong chose to wait at the entrance.

Luo Hong discovered that the Dragon Claw Treasure Pearls contained Myriad Transformation Stones and figured out how their secret technique might inspire a spiritual treasure that forcibly transferred baleful qi. After the group entered the camp’s main tent, they found a Three-legged Black Cauldron that might contain the Evil Dragon Pill, but could not see inside it.

• Luo Hong broke open Dragon Claw Treasure Pearls and found Myriad Transformation Stones inscribed with Silver runes, uncovering the Evil Dragon Clan’s method of transferring baleful qi.
• Luo Hong told Ling Feng and the others he wanted to refine a treasure that could forcefully transfer Earthly Sha, then joined them in exploring the remaining sword peaks.
• Luo Hong used the Primordial Transformation Beast baleful souls on the group to obtain dragon-patterned tokens that opened the main tent.
• The five entered the main hall and found black armor puppets, four Jade Boxes, and a Three-legged Black Cauldron burning over crimson spiritual flames.
• Luo Hong could not determine what was inside the cauldron, and Ling Feng and the others lost a little divine sense when they tried to inspect it.
• Luo Hong proposed collecting the spiritual flames beneath the cauldron before they tried to open it.

Luo Hong and the others opened the Three-legged Black Cauldron and retrieved rare treasures, including two Evil Dragon Pills. Luo Hong took one pill, while Ling Feng and Ming Xia prepared to compete for the other.

• Qing Kong’s Fiend Silkworms devoured the spirit flames and revealed a groove in the cauldron, which Ling Feng identified as a key slot.
• The group opened the Jade Boxes and found two Heavenly Fiend Scales, a golden figure, and a blue shortsword that fit the groove.
• Ling Feng activated the shortsword, opening the cauldron, and Luo Hong pulled out Four Fiend Divine Mud, other rare materials, and two Evil Dragon Pills.
• Luo Hong proposed choosing first in two rounds and took one Evil Dragon Pill, leaving Ling Feng and Ming Xia to contest the second.

After the treasures in the Evil Dragon Camp were divided, Luo Hong claimed the Heavenly Fiend Scales and explored the northern tents alone. While studying the Myriad Transformation Stone Sphere, he was ambushed by the Female Demon King of the Night Bat Demons, and their battle began.

• Ming Xia offered Ling Feng a bottle of Sun Transformation Nectar, and Ling Feng yielded the Evil Dragon Pill to her.
• The group divided the remaining treasures, and Luo Hong took the two Heavenly Fiend Scales before the five split up to explore the camp.
• Luo Hong found little in the northern tents and spent more than ten days studying the Myriad Transformation Stone Sphere.
• The Female Demon King ambushed Luo Hong in his tent, but his Exorcism Divine Thunder blasted her away.
• Luo Hong used his Blood Roar Demon Eye and Universe Power to expose the Female Demon King's next ambush, and she shifted away before circling him at high speed.

Luo Hong fought the Female Demon King, countering her speed and blood techniques until he trapped her and drove her to bargain for peace. As she prepared to unleash her race’s Innate Divine Ability, Luo Hong acknowledged that she could indeed use it, leaving the battle unresolved.

• Luo Hong struck the Female Demon King with the Sky-Piercing Purple Gold Hammer, breaking her arm, but she escaped the follow-up blow and regenerated it with blood spirit power.
• Luo Hong summoned an inverted Blood Sea that suppressed the Female Demon King’s Demonic Power and weakened her Blood Path Divine Abilities.
• The Female Demon King used her physical speed to evade Luo Hong and peppered him with Blood Blades, while he smashed them with his hammer.
• Luo Hong used the Sky-Breaking Halberd Fragment to restrict the surrounding space, exposing the Female Demon King and allowing him to pursue her with his enlarged hammer.
• The Female Demon King offered ancient treasures and threatened to use her race’s transformation ability, but Luo Hong refused to stop; as she readied her Innate Divine Ability, he remarked that she could use it.

Luo Hong accepted the Female Demon King's offer of Myriad Transformation Stones and agreed to help her kill Zhou Ming, who had possessed the Six-armed Primordial Transformation Beast. After Luo Hong gathered Ling Feng and Lei Yunzi to prepare for battle, Zhou Ming arrived holding Ming Xia's head and demanded that they hand over Ling Feng.

• Luo Hong stopped fighting the Female Demon King and accepted an ancient Myriad Transformation Race cultivation art as compensation, then learned she wanted an item from the Dark Forest relic held by the Six-armed Primordial Transformation Beast.
• The Female Demon King offered Luo Hong half her Myriad Transformation Stones in exchange for helping kill the beast, and Luo Hong agreed after sensing a distant disturbance.
• Luo Hong met Ling Feng and explained that Zhou Ming had possessed the Six-armed Primordial Transformation Beast and sought the Heavenly Book Compass; he told Ling Feng to hide with the compass and intervene at a critical moment.
• Lei Yunzi arrived and began setting up a formation while the Female Demon King hid nearby, ready to strike when an opportunity arose.
• Zhou Ming attacked Luo Hong and Lei Yunzi with crystalline blue lightning, holding Ming Xia's head and demanding they hand over Ling Feng.
• Luo Hong refused to surrender Ling Feng and took out the Myriad Transformation Stone Sphere to test Zhou Ming.

Luo Hong used a newly devised technique to make a dragon-shaped baleful aura invade Zhou Ming’s body, disrupting his control of the Six-armed Primordial Transformation Beast’s physical form. He followed up with a hammer strike that drove Zhou Ming into a giant pit, where the enemy continued struggling against the force inside him.

• Zhou Ming attacked Luo Hong with a spatial silver shuttle dart, but Luo Hong’s Silver Light Array deflected it.
• Luo Hong’s attempt to form a humanoid figure appeared to fail, but it caused a dragon-shaped baleful aura to appear inside Zhou Ming and disrupt his control of his body.
• Luo Hong attacked with the Sky-Piercing Purple Gold Hammer while Lei Yunzi summoned a thunder formation, and Zhou Ming’s body resisted the lightning but not the hammer.
• Zhou Ming tried to block the hammer with his beast-claw arms, but Luo Hong’s strike smashed him into a giant pit.
• Zhou Ming emerged in his true form and pounded his own body as he tried to expel the dragon-shaped baleful aura, while Luo Hong identified the technique as the Evil Dragon Devouring Body Great Method.

Luo Hong defeated Zhou Ming, recovered the remaining Myriad Transformation Stones, and returned from the Cave Heaven with his companions. In Canghu City, he spent enough bounty to raise his Agent rank all the way to Spirit Heaven, despite Li Xin warning that the upgrade offered no current advantage.

• Luo Hong used the lightning formation and Sky-Piercing Purple Gold Hammer to defeat Zhou Ming after the Destruction Dharma Eye stopped Zhou Ming's attempted escape through a Space Passage.
• The Female Demon King captured Zhou Ming's fleeing primordial spirit and returned the remaining half of the Myriad Transformation Stones to Luo Hong before escaping.
• Luo Hong agreed to discuss lightning cultivation with Lei Yunzi and arranged for Ling Feng to have Ming Xia's elders contact him about her belongings.
• Luo Hong and the others returned from the Cave Heaven, and Li Xin told him that Spirit Heaven was the highest Agent rank and normally required 111,000 Heavenly Book Bounty points.
• Luo Hong gave Li Xin 11,100 Myriad Transformation Stones and insisted that she raise his rank directly to Spirit Heaven, despite her warning that Spirit Profound already provided the same current privileges.

Luo Hong registered as a Spirit Heaven Rank emissary and used the Guangyuan Heavenly Book to contact True Lord Wentian, whom he had sought for over a thousand years. After learning how Wentian became a Jia Tun Clan Zhai Master, Luo Hong explained that he planned to travel to Thunderclap Continent and asked for help sending Ying Ming to him; Wentian questioned whether Ying Ming truly wanted to leave Luo Hong.

• Li Xin registered Luo Hong as a Spirit Heaven Rank emissary and gave him a jade slip explaining the Guangyuan Heavenly Book’s functions.
• Luo Hong summoned Ying Ming and contacted True Lord Wentian through the Heavenly Book, and Wentian was startled to learn that Ying Ming had ascended to the Spirit World.
• Ying Ming told Wentian how Luo Hong had helped her and fulfilled his promise to find him, while Wentian thanked Luo Hong for the favor.
• True Lord Wentian explained that he had earned the Jia Tun Clan’s favor and eventually become their Zhai Master after being captured by a Heavenly Book mission.
• Luo Hong said he needed to travel to Thunderclap Continent and planned to arrange passage for Ying Ming with a Mayfly Race caravan bound for the Jia Tun Clan.
• True Lord Wentian reminded Ying Ming that she was free and asked whether she truly wanted to leave Luo Hong and return to him.

Ying Ming chose to stay with Luo Hong, and True Lord Wentian exchanged puppet arts with him before advising him on the damaged Purple Blood Puppet. Luo Hong realized he could use a Spiritually Connected Core to give the puppet intelligence while controlling its power.

• Ying Ming decided to continue following Luo Hong after learning True Lord Wentian was safe, and True Lord Wentian approved her choice.
• True Lord Wentian and Luo Hong exchanged insights into Puppet Technique, and both gained from the discussion.
• Luo Hong showed True Lord Wentian the Purple Blood Puppet, whose damaged primordial spirit limited it to seventy percent of its power.
• True Lord Wentian proposed reforging the Purple Blood Puppet as a spiritually connected puppet so it could cultivate and regain strength.
• Luo Hong considered using Nether Spirit Water and a Spiritually Connected Core to restore the Purple Blood Puppet, then looked toward Ying Ming.

Luo Hong rejected Li Jiao’s attempt to become his attendant and challenged her to a Six-Year Agreement against Ying Ming. Back at his residence, he asked Ying Ming to control the Purple Blood Puppet by refining her Spiritually Connected Core into it, and she agreed on the condition that he place a restriction on her core.

• Li Jiao waited outside Tongtian Workshop with three Mayfly male cultivators and tried to persuade Luo Hong to take her in when he arrived with Ying Ming.
• Luo Hong dismissed Li Jiao’s offer and challenged her to fight Ying Ming in six years, with a blood contract at stake if Li Jiao won.
• Li Jiao accepted the wager, then argued with the three male cultivators as they suspected she had used them.
• Luo Hong returned to his residence with Ying Ming, who warned him against taking in Li Jiao.
• Luo Hong proposed refining Ying Ming’s Spiritually Connected Core into the Purple Blood Puppet, and Ying Ming agreed after asking him to place a Five-Thunder Restriction on her core.
• Luo Hong took Ying Ming to see how the Mayfly Race Artifact Refiners had prepared the spirit materials.

After three years, Zi Youzi brought Luo Hong a treasure to repair in exchange for access to the Continental Teleportation Array. When Zi Youzi revealed that it was a fragment of the Profound Heaven Furnace, Luo Hong remained unimpressed, leaving Zi Youzi convinced that his composure was extraordinary.

• A Telepathic Insect informed Luo Hong that Zi Youzi had arrived with the treasure, and Luo Hong went to meet him.
• Luo Hong assured Zi Youzi that he would prioritize the repair, then invited him inside to discuss the matter over spirit wine.
• Zi Youzi had Luo Hong sign a spirit contract promising not to reveal what he was about to disclose.
• Zi Youzi removed the restrictions from a Storage Bag and revealed a fragment of the Profound Heaven Furnace, a former Profound Heaven Spiritual Treasure.
• Zi Youzi activated the fragment, releasing powerful spiritual pressure, but Luo Hong showed only mild interest.
• Zi Youzi mistook Luo Hong's calm reaction for exceptional composure and admitted that he felt inferior.

Luo Hong learned that Zi Youzi’s remnant treasure was the Nine Realms Furnace and used Myriad Transformation Stones to restore part of it, discovering he could enter its Cave Heaven. After testing the furnace’s power, he teleported to Dark Forest and announced his arrival to the Female Demon King.

• Zi Youzi entrusted Luo Hong with the Profound Heaven Furnace fragment and asked him to repair it within ten years, while Luo Hong promised to give him an answer within three.
• Silver Fairy identified the fragment as the Nine Realms Furnace, born from the Profound Qi of nine high-tier Cave Heavens, and explained that its nine laws remained unknown.
• Luo Hong reasoned that the furnace’s beast patterns could reveal its required laws and fed more than a hundred thousand Myriad Transformation Stones into the fragment, restoring the pattern of a Six-armed Primordial Transformation Beast.
• Luo Hong sensed that the partially repaired furnace could take him into its Cave Heaven, tested it by destroying a three-colored mist restriction, and then teleported to Dark Forest.
• The Female Demon King watched a Great Night Bat Demon win a fight and rewarded it with her blood before Luo Hong’s voice announced his visit, prompting her to abandon her attempt to flee and smile greedily.
