Chapter Summaries

After fewer than ten thousand martial artists survived the Five Elements passages, Ye Fan suspected Heavenly Mourning Ancient City had more trials in store. The group followed the rush toward the Blood Demon Star Fruit from a distance, only to discover that the fruit was bait for a deadly Blood Demon Calamity.

• Zhang Jiu asked Ji Yue whether she had killed the Snake People Race Young Master, and Ji Yue evaded the question.
• Protector Jiu learned that 8,935 martial artists had survived and ordered the Blood Demon Calamity unleashed, prioritizing the strongest survivors while sparing only one thousand others.
• The Heavenly Mourning Ancient Monument announced that Blood Demon Star Fruit lay a thousand miles ahead, prompting more than eight thousand martial artists to race toward it.
• Ye Fan suspected a trap because the monument allowed only one thousand to obtain the fruit, so he led his group after the others at a distance.
• Fifth-tier ferocious beasts and Blood Demons appeared near the fruit, and martial artists realized the fruit was bait as their comrades were slaughtered.

Ye Fan and the Ji Family fled the Blood Demon Calamity, but the pursuing forces singled them out as primary targets. After learning that escape was futile, Ye Fan left the flying vessel to face the overwhelming horde alone.

• Ji Yue and Elder Yuan warned Ye Fan that the Blood Demon Calamity had begun and urged the group to retreat from the Blood Demon Star Fruit tree.

• The blood-colored tribulation clouds fled, but Ye Fan pursued them as they threatened him with Protector Jiu and Lord Blood God.

Ye Fan killed the Blood Demon tribulation cloud and grew stronger, then set off for the core of Heavenly Mourning Ancient City to seize the Blood Demon Star Fruits. Protector Jiu prepared to confront him there with the help of the blood fiends, while other factions also headed toward the fruit tree.

• Ye Fan trapped and destroyed the blood-colored tribulation cloud, raising his Spear Art, Spear Law, and Fire Domain.
• Protector Jiu considered attacking Ye Fan but agreed to wait for him near the Blood Demon Star Fruit Tree, where blood fiends could help.
• Ye Fan collected the demon cores from the slain Demigod Level beasts and reunited with Ji Yue and Elder Yuan.

• Ye Fan flew toward the core, and Protector Jiu left the great hall to meet him there.
• Zhang Jiu and the Mechanical Race geniuses also returned, targeting the Blood Demon Star Fruits.

Ye Fan reached the Blood Demon Star Fruit Tree and joined several super geniuses competing for its forty-nine fruits. As the others rushed ahead and fought one another, Ye Fan sensed seven hostile streams of blood-red energy lying in wait.

• Ye Fan found the other super geniuses near the Blood Demon Star Fruit Tree, and Zhang Jiu accused him of using the Ji Family girl as bait to escape.

• Ye Fan stayed behind the group as they approached the tree, then sensed seven cold, vicious streams of blood-red energy erupting nearby.

• Protector Jiu ordered Zhang Jiu, Jian Yi, the beast-controlling youngster, and the elven siblings to surround Ye Fan.
• The beast-controlling youngster summoned his battle beasts as Jian Yi, Zhang Jiu, the turtle-shell martial artist, and the elven siblings attacked Ye Fan.
• Protector Jiu demanded that Ye Fan accept a slave mark or face destruction as the combined attacks closed in.

• As the Blood God closed in, Ye Fan brought out a bone-like bow and used the Snake People Race secret technique to prepare its artifact spirit for self-destruction.
• Ye Fan hurled the divine artifact at the Blood God, who pulled Protector Jiu in front of himself.

• Near the city exit, Ye Fan prepared four divine artifacts and a red, sword-shaped feather-like item as the Blood God closed in to attack.

Ye Fan used four self-detonating divine artifacts to distract the Blood God, then unleashed a powerful sword strike from a feather that killed Protector Jiu and cleaved the blood sea. Though the Blood God survived and vowed to stop Ye Fan even at the cost of his realm, Ye Fan fled toward the edge of Heavenly Mourning Ancient City.

• The Blood God assumed his blood-sea true form and pulled Protector Jiu inside to shield him from Ye Fan’s four exploding artifacts.
• Ji Yue and Elder Yuan watched from the flying boat as the explosions shook the Blood Sea Vast Ocean, and Ji Yue prayed for Ye Fan’s safe return.
• Ye Fan revealed a feather containing terrifying sword aura, which cut through the blood sea and turned Protector Jiu to ash.

• Ye Fan set off toward the outskirts of Heavenly Mourning Ancient City, knowing the strike might have injured the Blood God but likely had not killed him.

Ye Fan fled the Blood God through Heavenly Mourning Ancient City, using Space Jump to evade its attacks. Just before he reached the exit, the Blood God blocked his path and used the Heavenly Mourning Ancient Monument to seal space, leaving Ye Fan unable to jump away as a bold idea came to him.

• The Blood God chased Ye Fan after blaming him for ruining its breakthrough, while Ji Yue and Elder Yuan watched from outside the city.
• Ye Fan repeatedly used Space Jump to escape the Blood God's attacks and calculated that he was close to leaving the city.
• The Blood God appeared ahead of Ye Fan and blocked his only direct route to the exit.
• Ye Fan's Space Jump failed when the Blood God invoked the Heavenly Mourning Ancient Monument's Heaven-Sealing Earth-Locking power.
• Venerable Kailin identified the monument as a damaged artifact, and Ye Fan's fear faded as he formed a bold idea.

Ye Fan called on Venerable Kailin to help him escape the Blood God's attack and seize the Heavenly Mourning Ancient Monument within ten seconds. As Kailin battled the Blood God, Ye Fan's Elephant Heaven-Earth Manifestation struggled to suppress the monument, and the countdown continued.

• Venerable Kailin agreed to help Ye Fan for ten seconds and told him to use his Elephant Heaven-Earth Manifestation to take the Heavenly Mourning Ancient Monument.

• Venerable Kailin told Ye Fan that the Heavenly Mourning Ancient Monument was likely a fragment of a True God artifact containing another world, and Ye Fan appeared beside it in Ancient Fusang City.

Ye Fan refined the Heavenly Mourning Ancient Monument and discovered that its inner world made time pass three times faster, revealing its connection to the supreme time law. He renamed it the Time Ancient Stele and prepared to absorb the Blood Demon Star Fruit to ignite another Star River.

• Ye Fan strengthened his connection to the Heavenly Mourning Ancient Monument until he could initially control it, then entered its inner world with Venerable Kailin.

• Ye Fan prepared to eat the Blood Demon Star Fruit and use its stellar power to ignite his seventh or eighth Star River.

Ye Fan devoured Blood Demon Star Fruits to rapidly light up the stars in his body and pursue the highest Inheritance Sequence trial grade. Deep within One Grain of Sand, One World, One Leaf, One Bodhi, Hall Master Huo and the Holy Lotus Envoy noticed that Ye Fan had lit up his eighth Star River in only three months.

• Ye Fan recklessly ate Blood Demon Star Fruits, relying on his strong body and the Time Ancient Stele to save time and aim for the Inheritance Sequence.
• The fruits' energy raised Ye Fan's Vitality Value, slightly improved his Great Sun Glazed Body, and rapidly lit up barren stars within him.
• Hall Master Huo learned that 645 elite trialists had lit up seven Perfect Star Rivers and five had lit up eight.

• The Holy Lotus Envoy discovered that Ye Fan, in a remote fringe region of the Milky Way Galaxy, had lit up his eighth Star River in only three months, surprising both her and Hall Master Huo.

• As teleportation began, Ye Fan plunged his hand into the pond and caught the koi before it could escape.

Ye Fan tried to take both the Earth Spirit Origin Pearl and a koi from the First Leaf secret realm, triggering restrictions powerful enough to threaten a low-level Void God. He endured successive attacks and surprised Hall Master Huo and the Saint Lotus Emissary by resisting them and revealing that he had mastered a domain.

• Hall Master Huo and the Saint Lotus Emissary explained that First Leaf allowed only one treasure and that taking two triggered deadly restrictions.
• Ye Fan stored both the Earth Spirit Origin Pearl and the koi, choosing to face the restrictions rather than give either up.

• Ye Fan countered the sword lights with his spear and the Mountain-Breaking Awl.
• Ye Fan used his Fire Domain to absorb the flame attack, shocking Hall Master Huo and the Saint Lotus Emissary.
