• Li Hao cut through the dangerous mist wall and entered the Tenth Desolate Domain, where he met a beautiful young woman who noticed his True Immortal Realm Third Layer cultivation.

Li Hao reached the Mist Wall separating the Tenth and Eleventh Desolate Domains and broke through it with his sword despite having only True Immortal Realm Third Layer cultivation. As he entered the Eleventh Desolate Domain, powerful Yan-Chu observers took notice of his talents and debated recruiting him.

• Li Hao met Xing Lan of Star Palace, then traversed the Tenth Desolate Domain while evading attacks from Great Dao Origins and Primordial Immortal Arts.

• Li Hao’s identification number surged to seventeenth, revealing that he had broken through the Tenth Desolate Domain and drawing attention from Li Tiemu and the sect representatives.

• Li Tiemu privately told Li Hao to meet the Dream Master, and Li Hao followed Lin Mingrong to the hall, where she asked who he was and why he had come.

Li Hao entered the Langya Dream Realm with Great Dream Nine Abyss’s disciples, where the Dream Master revealed that he ranked in the Ancient Immortal Realm’s top hundred and invited him to demonstrate his painting.

• Li Hao formed a moving jiaolong from immortal power, impressing the Dream Master, who offered him the Divine Sword if he could draw it after the Southern Region Assembly Battle.
• On Emperor Sword Mountain, Yun Wumian sneezed again and wondered who was talking about him.

Li Hao left Great Dream Nine Abyss for the Qinghe Border, where he enlisted in the Wildfire Army to fight Ancient Demons. After arriving, he learned that Ji Qingxuan had reached ninety-ninth place on the Immortal Merit Board and met a mysterious Heaven One Sect disciple who promised to make a name for himself.

Li Hao entered Qinghe Fallen City under the alias Chong Er and joined the Wildfire Army’s Yinglong Imperial Guard Camp, where Shi Tianjin and the veterans dismissed his low cultivation. While exploring the city with Huo Xiaoqi, Li Hao saw the sect merit boards before a calamity-grade ancient demon attack sounded, and the Wildfire Army prepared to join the battle.

• The Tiger Lion Army and several sect forces, including Ji Qingxuan, Wei Hongye, Lu Wu Chen, and Lin Yu Feng, deployed as Shi Tianjin led the Wildfire Army into battle.

Li Hao left the Yinglong Imperial Guard Camp’s formation to hunt ancient demons alone and reached a breach in the front lines, where he unleashed Ji and his own powers to slaughter the demons. He held back the surge with his Eternal Dao Domain and All Heavens Star Meridian, drawing astonished attention from nearby Tiger Lion Camp soldiers.

• Xing Lan explained that Identity Tokens absorbed ancient demons' primordial spirit essence to track kills and calculate immortal merit.

Li Hao hunted Ancient Demons across the battlefield, revealing his formidable strength as he killed them and rescued outmatched fighters. As the generals at the Marshal Altar took notice of him, he found Shi Tianjin and the others surrounded by powerful Ancient Demons and in grave danger.

• Li Hao examined the Primordial Spirit Essence in his Identity Token and realized his kills had already earned him a huge amount of Immortal Merit.
• Li Hao joined Xing Lan in hunting Ancient Demons, effortlessly killing a seventh-layer demon and then several more while Xing Lan watched.
• Li Hao and Xing Lan split up, and Li Hao ranged across the battlefield, killing Ancient Demons and helping sect disciples and Wildfire Army battalions in danger.
• At the Marshal Altar, the generals discussed the collapsing defense lines, praised Xing Lan, and noticed Li Hao's battlefield exploits.
• Li Hao spotted Shi Tianjin, Huo Xiaoqi, and the remaining members of their group surrounded by Ancient Demons, including several at the true immortal realm tenth layer.

• The woman concealed her eight black wings and ancient demon aura, grabbed Li Hao, and urged him to flee with her.
• Li Hao recognized the woman as an ancient demon but concealed his knowledge and asked who she was.

Li Hao was caught between an Ancient Demon Woman and two Ancient Demon Commanders, and an attack from a seventh-layer Immortal Lord forced him to reveal his full power. Old Han’s iron fragment summoned the Floating Slaughter Emperor Heart Pagoda, which killed the commander, leaving Li Hao and the woman to head back toward the immortal army together.

• The Ancient Demon Woman pulled Li Hao away from danger, but two Ancient Demon Commanders intercepted them and demanded that she return a mysterious object.

• The woman offered to compensate Li Hao, and he chose to return with her to the immortal army without exposing her identity.

Li Hao and Ban Xueyao found the Second Defense Line occupied by Ancient Demons and withdrew to the First Defense Line to avoid the Reincarnation Race's tracking technique. While collecting corpses, Li Hao cooked and ate an Ancient Demon, greatly strengthening his primordial spirit, and Ban Xueyao developed a taste for the meat.

• Li Hao returned toward Qinghe Fallen City with Ban Xueyao, collecting Ancient Demon corpses along the way and deciding to gather more at the First Defense Line.

• Ban Xueyao tried the roast meat, enjoyed it, and asked Li Hao for more; he told her to find her own ingredients.

Li Hao used his cooking to refine Ancient Demon flesh and strengthen his primordial spirit, while Hua Xueyao struggled to copy his technique and bargained for a share. After two months, they had settled into a routine of Xueyao gathering corpses and Li Hao cooking, with both growing stronger.

• Li Hao cooked Ancient Demon flesh for Hua Xueyao and explained that half the meal was his cooking fee.

Li Hao and Ban Xueyao watched the Peacock Army attack the ancient demon tide, then joined the battle to help the wounded Original Appearance Immortal God defeat a Ninth Level of Immortal Lord Realm Dijiang Clan demon. Xueyao’s attack exposed her as an ancient demon to her target, and the chapter ended with her denying that she had betrayed her own race.
