Chapter Summaries

The Crimson Gold Cloud Pillar crumbled, ending the crisis that had threatened the Guanghan Realm’s sun, and Bai Lan sacrificed himself so Shen Tong could escape. As Shen Tong set out to honor Bai Lan’s last wish, Han Li, Liu Shuier, and Shi Kun encountered the upheaval in the Dark Beast Forest, where three Dark Beasts suddenly targeted Shi Kun.

• The Black-horned Man prepared the Snow White Bell to protect his group as a black halo began devouring the Guanghan Realm’s sun, while the Jiao Chi female cultivator abandoned Bai Lan and Shen Tong.
• The Crimson Gold Cloud Pillar shattered and the sun’s black halo vanished, giving Bai Lan and Shen Tong a chance to escape.
• Bai Lan stayed behind to hold off the Jiao Chi pursuers, gave Shen Tong Luo Hong’s Ten Thousand Mile Talisman, and self-detonated; Shen Tong fled and resolved to fulfill Bai Lan’s final wish.
• The Black-horned Man dismissed the Vengeance Blood Seal on his chest and ordered Duan Bing to gather the others so they could find the Earth Vein Giant Spirit.
• In the Dark Beast Forest, Shi Kun, disguised as a Dark Beast, discussed avoiding a group of three Adult Dark Beasts with Liu Shuier and Han Li.
• A sudden upheaval opened a fissure and revealed the Crimson Gold Cloud Pillar; as the Dark Beasts reacted excitedly to the sun being devoured, Han Li warned Shi Kun to flee, but three killing intents locked onto him.

Shi Kun, Liu Shuier, and Han Li faced newly empowered Dark Beasts as the sun vanished and the Guanghan Realm underwent a Great Law Change. After Han Li killed a Sea King Race man who had tried to lead a Three-Eyed Dark Beast toward them, he used the Myriad Transformation Universe Pearl to disable three beasts and help his companions kill them.

• Three Adult Dark Beasts transformed, wounded Shi Kun, and attacked him until he drove them back with his Twin Hammers and healed his leg with a red jade bottle.
• Liu Shuier and Han Li helped Shi Kun kill the three beasts, and Han Li realized the sun’s disappearance signaled the Dark Moon Great Cataclysm.
• Liu Shuier proposed leaving the Dark Beast Forest, but Han Li argued it might be the safest place after the coming catastrophe.

• Han Li killed the Bearded Man as Liu Shuier and Shi Kun fought the pursuing beast, while two more Three-Eyed Dark Beasts arrived.
• Han Li activated the Myriad Transformation Universe Pearl, weakening the three Three-Eyed Dark Beasts so Liu Shuier and Shi Kun could kill them.

Han Li’s group escaped the Dark Beast Forest after the sun’s upheaval ended, while Yu Ni vowed revenge for her Elder Brother. Beneath the Rising Sun Desert, Luo Hong recovered the Heavenly Wolf Divine Fire, which could refine Primordial Qi, then left with a plan to visit the Silver Clan.

• The sun’s disturbance stopped, throwing the Dark Beasts into chaos, and Liu Shuier urged Han Li and Shi Kun to cross the forest while they had the chance.
• Han Li collected the slain beasts’ cores and the Bearded Man’s belongings, finding a mysterious black token in a restricted jade box.
• Yu Ni revealed that she had lured the Three-Eyed Dark Beasts toward Han Li’s group and swore to avenge her Elder Brother and complete her clan’s mission.
• Luo Hong recovered the Heavenly Wolf Divine Fire, which swallowed the Bone-Corroding Demonic Fire and produced Primordial Qi.
• Luo Hong left the underground palace and told Gan Ruoyun that his artifact-refining experiment had ruined three Rising Sun Fire Crystals, while refusing to trade away another crystal until he visited the Silver Clan.
• Luo Hong gave Gan Ruoyun and the others eight Azure Luo Pills as compensation for the disturbance.

Luo Hong traveled with Gan Ruoyun and the Silver Clan toward the Empty Silver Sea, defeating several groups of fierce beasts along the way. Just as they reached the Silver Tide Worms’ territory, he learned that Bai Lan had been killed by the Jiao Chi Race and that Shen Tong was asking him to avenge Bai Lan over an Earth Vein Giant Spirit.

• Gan Ruoyun invited Luo Hong to travel with the Silver Clan to the Empty Silver Sea, where Silver Clan cultivators cultivated near the Dust Silver Earth Spring.
• Luo Hong and the Silver Clan left the Rising Sun Desert, and Luo Hong burned a group of Two-headed Bat-winged Alien Beasts to ash.
• Luo Hong used a black-flamed Ghost Hand to kill giant underground fierce beasts and absorb their essence and magic power.
• Gan Ruoyun led the group to the Empty Silver Sea, and Luo Hong received a message that Bai Lan had died at the hands of the Jiao Chi Race.
• Shen Tong asked Luo Hong to avenge Bai Lan and identified the Earth Vein Giant Spirit as the cause of their encounter with the Jiao Chi Race.

Luo Hong learned that the Jiao Chi Race was awakening Earth Vein Giant Spirits to seize control of the Guanghan Realm, continuing an ancient scheme once shared by the Earth Spirit and Silver Clans. After uncovering the plan, he declared that the Human Race should claim the realm.

• Luo Hong deduced that the Earth Spirit and Silver Clans had planned to control the Guanghan Realm together, but the Jiao Chi Race had destroyed their alliance and now intended to complete their scheme.
• Luo Hong sent a message through the Ten Thousand Mile Talisman and declared that the Guanghan Realm should belong to the Human Race.

Luo Hong discovered how to recreate the formation sustaining the Dust Silver Earth Spring and left to gather the resources needed to move it. Elsewhere, Yu Ni tracked the Jiao Chi cultivators to the Earth Vein Giant Spirit and decided to use them to avenge her elder brother.

• Shen Tong told Luo Hong that he could track Bai Lan’s mark and warned him that the Jiao Chi cultivators possessed a Profound Heaven Saint Artifact, but Luo Hong promised to come find him.
• Luo Hong studied the Dust Silver Earth Spring’s natural formation, replicated its formation plate, and worked out how Top-grade Spirit Stones could solve its spiritual-qi requirements.
• Luo Hong collected one hundred thousand Silver Tide Worms and headed for the outskirts of the Empty Silver Sea.
• The Golden Horn Youth and his Jiao Chi companions killed six Black Confucian cultivators, then used a spiritual treasure to enter a yellow-sand restriction.
• Han Li and Liu Shuier watched the Jiao Chi cultivators with a Shadow Crystal and left without confronting them, while Yu Ni appeared and identified their destination as the place where the Luotian Shell had detected the Earth Vein Giant Spirit.
• Yu Ni concluded that the Jiao Chi cultivators had excluded the Sea King Race and followed them, intending to make them help avenge her elder brother.

Han Li, Liu Shuier, and Shi Kun prepared to break the restrictions guarding an ancient site, while Luo Hong followed Han Li toward the opportunity he wanted. As Han Li reached the Purple Light Palace ahead of the others, an intruder shattered their defensive formation, and Liu Shuier and Shi Kun waited tensely for the newcomer to appear.

• Han Li learned that the restrictions were formed from Primordial Azure Light and secretly hoped to obtain it for refining the Yuanhe Wuji Mountain.
• After Shi Kun recovered from his injuries, Liu Shuier concealed the group with the Void-Evading Umbrella and defensive formations, and Shi Kun added the Yin Soul Mother-Child Rings.
• Luo Hong observed Han Li's group from afar, decided to pursue Han Li's opportunity, and flew toward them.
• At the Purple Light Palace, Han Li's physical cultivation let him climb the restricted stone steps ahead of Shi Kun and Liu Shuier.
• Liu Shuier sensed that an intruder had triggered their formation, and Shi Kun joked about how quickly the Yin Soul Mother-Child Rings would defeat the lone attacker.
• The intruder broke the Jindu Spirit-Restraining Formation within a few breaths, and a teleportation array appeared before Liu Shuier and Shi Kun.

Luo Hong reached the summit of the ancient staircase, helped Liu Shuier past its lower restrictions, and left her to climb the final steps alone. He found Han Li in the Medicine Garden and effortlessly absorbed the purple lightning guarding it, reuniting with his junior brother.

• Luo Hong arrived at the stone staircase and learned from Liu Shuier that Han Li had already reached the summit to retrieve treasures.
• Luo Hong discovered that Han Li had killed the Sea King Race man Liu Shuier described, then helped her rapidly climb the staircase while teasing Shi Kun and leaving him behind.
• Luo Hong stopped helping Liu Shuier at the final ten steps and continued alone to the summit.
• Luo Hong found Han Li working to enter the Medicine Garden and absorbed the five purple lightning bolts guarding it before passing through the light curtain.
• Han Li congratulated Luo Hong on reaching the Integration stage, and Luo Hong replied that Han Li would catch up soon.

Luo Hong and Han Li finished harvesting the medicine garden, and Han Li gave Luo Hong the Giant Spirit Decree after learning its importance. They broke into the Purple Light Great Hall, where Luo Hong revealed his Saint Stage cultivation, and Han Li was chosen to retrieve the treasures from the Golden Ancient Cauldron.

• Han Li gave Luo Hong a Red Luo Immortal Fruit, and Luo Hong asked him for Corrosive Poison Immortal Grass for A Zi.
• Luo Hong recognized the token from the Sea King Race cultivator Han Li had killed as the Giant Spirit Decree, and Han Li handed it over for safekeeping.
• Luo Hong absorbed the purple divine thunder unleashed by the hall's restrictions, revealing that he had reached the Saint Stage, and the four cultivators broke through the seal.
• Luo Hong entered the hall and found a Golden Ancient Cauldron, weapons, armor, and a screen, while Liu Shuier and Shi Kun invoked their masters to demand a fair share.
• Luo Hong proposed that Han Li retrieve the cauldron's treasures, and Liu Shuier and Shi Kun reluctantly agreed.

Luo Hong seized a Void Spirit Pill from the Golden Cauldron’s treasures, gave it to Liu Shuier, and forced Shi Kun to abandon his claim. He and Han Li then entered the protected cave heaven behind the screen, while Luo Hong secretly left behind a streak of purple light.

• Han Li opened the Golden Cauldron and used the Void Sky Cauldron to capture the treasures that tried to escape.
• Luo Hong drew two Void Spirit Pills from a Purple Gold Small Bottle, gave one to Liu Shuier, and kept the bottle.
• Luo Hong used Universe Power to force Shi Kun to the ground until he agreed to explain the matter to his master.
• Liu Shuier and Shi Kun left the hall, and Luo Hong invited Han Li to investigate the cave heaven behind the screen.
• Luo Hong and Han Li broke through the screen’s protection and were swept away by seven-colored light as Luo Hong left a streak of purple light behind.

Luo Hong and Han Li entered a Sumeru Grotto-heaven, where Luo Hong deciphered the runes protecting its gate and discovered a dangerous Star Chart. They reached a platform holding an apparent legacy treasure, and Han Li proposed using his Second Nascent Soul to test it while Luo Hong insisted on standing guard.

• Han Li released Qu'er, who gave him the stolen Void Spirit Pill, while Luo Hong gifted her a Wood Spirit Pearl.
• Han Li tried several abilities against the giant gate, then used his Silver Flame and Primordial Magnetic Divine Mountain to damage it, but the gate repaired itself.
• Luo Hong recognized the Profound Heaven Indestructible Golden Seal, studied its runes by striking the gate, and opened a hole after comprehending the Golden Tadpole Script.
• Luo Hong and Han Li entered a plaza and were caught in the Star Chart's illusion, but both broke free; Luo Hong captured part of the starry sky with the Mirage Spirit Eye.
• Luo Hong identified the Grand Tutor's Chair as the likely key to the legacy, while Han Li summoned his Second Nascent Soul and Brahma Saint Dharma Idol to probe it; Luo Hong insisted on protecting them.

Luo Hong and Han Li activated the Grand Tutor's Chair, whose formation poured immense spiritual power into Han Li and then Luo Hong, rapidly advancing their cultivation. After Luo Hong reached Integration Late-stage and completed the Astonishing Thunder Immortal Body, he took the formation's Golden Disc and prepared to leave.

• Han Li used the Vatican Saint Golden Body to sit on the Grand Tutor's Chair and chant the Silver Tadpole Script, awakening the formation and its nine Silver Armored Puppets.
• The formation's light pillar raised Han Li's Second Nascent Soul to Deity Transformation and his cultivation to Void Refinement Peak, but repeated failed attempts to break through Integration nearly overwhelmed him.
• Luo Hong used the Little Black Ball to separate Han Li from the light pillar, then took his place on the Grand Tutor's Chair.
• The formation raised Luo Hong from Integration Early-stage through Mid-stage and Late-stage, while an azure-blue spiritual fruit stabilized his cultivation.
• Luo Hong reached Integration Stage Peak, completed the Astonishing Thunder Immortal Body, and transformed the Golden Vortex into a Golden Disc that he took for himself.

Shu Li learned that the shifted earth veins had made his mission to awaken the Earth Vein Giant Spirit impossible, then agreed to work with Yu Ni to locate the nodes with her Luotian Shell. Yu Ni asked him to help kill Han Li and his two companions, and Shu Li questioned what she truly wanted from them.

• Shu Li discovered that the Earth Vein Giant Spirit had not responded, and contacted Wei Xiu, who explained that the sun's anomaly had shifted the earth vein nodes at all five locations.
• Shu Li grew furious at Wei Xiu for not warning the other teams sooner, then Yu Ni appeared and offered to use her Luotian Shell to find the shifted earth veins.
• Yu Ni asked Shu Li and his Jiao Chi cultivators to help kill the three Tianyun Cultivators who had killed her elder brother.
• Yu Ni revealed that Han Li, the Man in Green Shirt, possessed a Profound Heaven Saint Artifact, but Shu Li said he was confident in the Small Mitian Bell.
• Shu Li agreed to cooperate with Yu Ni but questioned whether revenge was her only reason for targeting Han Li and his companions.

Luo Hong and Han Li escaped the collapsing space with Liu Shuier, only to emerge into an ambush led by Yu Ni and Shu Li. As the Jiao Chi cultivators attacked, Yu Ni tried to flee, but Shu Li blocked Luo Hong from pursuing her.

• Yu Ni persuaded Shu Li to help recover her elder brother's relic in exchange for help locating an Earth Vein Giant Spirit, and he agreed.
• Luo Hong refined three Top-grade Spirit Stones into superior Immortal Yuan Stones, gave Han Li an Immeasurable Fruit, and let him claim the remaining treasures; the Silver Armored Puppets then destroyed one another.
• Luo Hong, Han Li, and Liu Shuier fled the collapsing space, while Shi Kun rushed toward the teleportation array ahead of them.

• The Jiao Chi cultivators attacked Han Li and Liu Shuier as Yu Ni retreated and tried to escape; Shu Li stopped Luo Hong from pursuing her.

• Luo Hong killed Shu Li with a thunderous punch and devoured the Snow White Bell’s escaping Profound Heaven True Spirit with his Crimson Gold Fire Wolf.
• The Golden-haired Giant Ape broke Yu Ni’s formation with a roar, and Luo Hong’s forces killed the fleeing Bai Guo and other Jiao Chi cultivators.
• Luo Hong sent Liu Shuier unconscious, called Han Li to join him, and unleashed the Purple Heaven Thunder Domain to destroy the remaining Jiao Chi cultivators.
• Luo Hong detected Yu Ni’s hiding place amid a destroyed spiritual peak, gathered the surrounding earth to expose her, and brought her into his Netherworld Grotto-heaven.
• Luo Hong forced Yu Ni out of concealment and declared that he also wanted the Guanghan Realm, leaving her shocked by his ambition.

Luo Hong interrogated Yu Ni about the Sea King Race’s plan for the Giant Spirit Decrees, then took the Luotian Shell and killed her. After reuniting with Han Li and Liu Shuier, he left to pursue a major plan while Jiao Chi Race elders investigated a missing Bell Spirit.

• Luo Hong questioned Yu Ni about finding the other Giant Spirit Decrees, and she revealed that the earth veins had shifted and the Luotian Shell could locate Earth Vein Giant Spirits.
• Yu Ni swore a Heart Demon Oath and urged Luo Hong to cooperate with the Sea King Race, explaining that a Jiao Chi team had awakened an Earth Vein Giant Spirit.

He Ping and his Jiao Chi cultivators fought their way through Peng Bird Puppets, and He Ping destroyed the Thunder Peng Puppet with the Small Mitian Bell.

• He Ping agreed to find his assigned Giant Spirit Decree and then help Shu Li, while keeping the arrangement from Wei Xiu.
• Shu Li asked He Ping to take out his map so he could give him the Giant Spirits' locations.

He Ping contacted Wei Xiu to verify the Earth Vein Giant Spirits’ relocation, while Luo Hong used the Jiao Chi teams’ confusion to lure Wei Xiu toward a trap. At the ruins, Luo Hong deciphered and recultivated the first two layers of the Star Pupil Illusion World Art, then tested his strength against the Silver Light Shield protecting the third wall.

• He Ping destroyed the attacking Peng Bird Puppets, rested his injured Jiao Chi cultivators, and used the Guanghan Token to contact Wei Xiu.
• Wei Xiu suspected that Shu Li and the other envoys were hiding something, and a Jiao Chi Old Man suggested Shu Li was stuck near an Earth Vein Giant Spirit without its decree.
• Luo Hong revealed that he had located all five Earth Vein Giant Spirits and had used Shu Li’s Guanghan Token to mislead the other Jiao Chi teams while directing Wei Xiu toward him.
• Luo Hong entered the underground ruins and spent over a month deciphering the Golden Seal Script on two stone walls before successfully recultivating the first two layers of the Star Pupil Illusion World Art.
• Luo Hong tried to break the Silver Light Shield with his Astonishing Thunder Immortal Body, failed to pierce its final inch, and concluded that he might shatter it by unleashing his full strength.

Luo Hong mastered the third layer of the Star Pupil Illusion World Art and used it to refine the Candle Dragon Golden Flame while the Jiao Chi envoys became trapped inside the Profound Cloud Confinement Formation. With the one-year deadline approaching, Luo Hong appeared before them and summoned four Golden-Clad clones to begin the fight.

• Luo Hong drew the runes from the third stone wall with the Guanghan Token, copied the Golden Seal Script, and spent months studying the Star Pupil Illusion World Art.
• He Ping arrived and found Wei Xiu waiting at the ruins, but their search for Shu Li revealed no restrictions until the two teams hit the Profound Cloud Confinement Formation.
• He Ping and Wei Xiu tried to break through the cloud wall with their Small Mitian Bells, but the formation’s hidden controllers repaired it faster than they could damage it.
• Shen Tong watched the trapped Jiao Chi cultivators from the ruins and worried that Luo Hong had suffered an accident, while Luo Hong remained absorbed in cultivating underground.
• After the other two Jiao Chi teams joined them, the four envoys prepared to attack the cloud wall, but Luo Hong appeared and opened his vertical eye.
• Luo Hong summoned four Golden-Clad clones, which drew silver broken spears as the Jiao Chi cultivators surrounded them.

He Ping and the Jiao Chi Envoys used the Small Mitian Bells to cast the four Golden-Clad Youths into the Outer Void, but the Black Clad Youth brought them back. The Golden-Clad Youths prepared a final attack as the Jiao Chi cultivators fled.

• A Jiao Chi Youth tried to escape but a Golden-Clad Youth killed him with a single blow, while a Black Mist Ghost Hand drained the Blue-horned Big Man to ash.
• He Ping urged Wei Xiu and the other Jiao Chi Envoys to use their final trump card, and the four men sacrificed essence blood to activate their Small Mitian Bells.
• The four bells collided and sent the Golden-Clad Youths into the Outer Void, creating vast black spheres and Space Storms.
• The Black Clad Youth revealed that Luo's incarnations had returned, though they were injured, and threatened the group with painless death.
• The Jiao Chi cultivators fled as the four Golden-Clad Youths began using the Heavenly Origin Life-Returning Art.
