Chapter Summaries

Lu Feng comprehended the Soul Fires and Dao Evolution Tribulation Fires in the trial, then used his precise control to manipulate the array and interfere with the black-clad man’s trial. The array’s backlash forced the man out of his Lotus Platform, and Bai Wujiu moved in to capture him.

• Lu Feng sensed and comprehended the Soul Fires, discovering that each left a mark on his life soul and that the Dao Evolution Tribulation Fires seemed to submit to his control.
• Lu Feng matched nine Soul Fires to the nine barrier walls and opened the array, then preserved his control over the flames to probe the connection to the outside and disrupt the black-clad man’s trial.
• Bai Wujiu worried as the black-clad man’s trial produced red light, while Zhuge Jianxing and sect elders mocked Lu Feng for showing no signs of success.
• Crimson flames surged from the glazed crystal sphere and engulfed the black-clad man’s Lotus Platform, forcing him to break free and collapse from his injuries.
• Bai Wujiu realized this was likely the opportunity Lu Feng had been waiting for and closed in on the injured black-clad man.

Lu Feng used the Lotus Platform formation to destroy Jun Zi Shuo’s Black-Clad Men and injure the elders of the Heavenly Wolf Sect and Five Emperors Sect, then secretly helped cultivators pass the trial. After Lu Feng advanced to the next level, Bai Wujiu took his vacated Lotus Platform and discovered the Soul Fires awaiting him.

• Bai Wujiu learned that the captured Black-Clad Man could neither speak nor write, and the man destroyed his life soul before anyone could search it.
• Lu Feng realized Jun Zi Shuo had made the Black-Clad Men impossible to interrogate, so he used the formation to direct Soul Fires against them and the two sect elders.
• The Soul Fires killed the Black-Clad Men and badly burned the elders while avoiding Bai Wujiu and Zhuge Jianxing, convincing the elders that Lu Feng had deliberately targeted them.
• The crystal sphere began glowing as cultivators passed the trial, while a misty boundary blocked others from entering the Lotus Platforms.
• After Lu Feng passed with basic orange light, he sent Bai Wujiu the soul message “Take over!” and Bai Wujiu entered the Lotus Platform he had vacated.

Bai Wujiu received soul fires suited to spirit cuisine, while Lu Feng reached a stele in the Soul Burning Saint Fire Tower and briefly encountered Jun Zi Shuo. A mysterious soul shadow then drew Lu Feng into the stele’s space and claimed it had finally found him.

• Bai Wujiu realized Lu Feng had gathered many spirit-cuisine soul fires for him and vowed to repay the favor.
• Lu Feng reached the tower’s fourth-floor space, found a stele covered in cultivators’ names and scores, and saw Jun Zi Shuo’s name marked with thirty-two.
• Lu Feng touched the stele, and it drew the soul-fire markings from his Fate Soul before making Jun Zi Shuo appear before him.
• Jun Zi Shuo told Lu Feng to meet him on the seventh floor and vanished as he was teleported away.
• An ancient voice pulled Lu Feng into the stele’s space, where a black-robed soul shadow said it had finally appeared to meet him.

Lu Feng discovered that the pointed stele could return soul-fire true intents left by other cultivators and suspected Jun Zi Shuo was climbing the tower to pursue something on its upper levels. Outside the tower, Yue Long gathered a large force to kill Lu Feng, while Jun Ziya watched and placed her hopes on Jun Zi Shuo reaching the eighth-level space to claim a legendary treasure.

• The soul shadow told Lu Feng that they shared a lineage and that Lu Feng felt familiar, but it vanished before explaining further.
• Lu Feng found that his soul-fire understanding remained after the soul-fire armor disappeared, then discovered that touching Jun Zi Shuo's inscription drew thirty-two soul-fire auras back from the pointed stele.
• Lu Feng inferred that the numbers beside names represented the soul fires cultivators could control and considered whether Jun Zi Shuo had concealed stronger soul fires to pass the trial.
• Yue Long assembled the Sun Family, several sects, and other groups into a force of more than a hundred people to surround the Soul Burning Saint Fire Tower and kill Lu Feng.
• Jun Ziya learned that Jun Zi Shuo remained inside the tower and said reaching the eighth-level space and obtaining its legendary treasure was his final chance—and theirs.

Lu Feng reached the seventh level of the Saint Fire Tower after the stele cracked, then discovered that his familiarity with its soul fires gave him an advantage over Jun Zi Shuo. Jun Zi Shuo threatened Old Book and Luo Qingqiu to force Lu Feng to help him open the way to the eighth level.

• Lu Feng found that the stele's top-ranked name matched the familiar foundations he had sensed, but he could not read or remember it; the stele cracked and opened the passage to the seventh level.
• Lu Feng entered the dark, turbid seventh level, where countless soul fires appeared, including auras he recognized as Chaos True Fires.
• Jun Zi Shuo appeared looking gaunt and demanded to know how Lu Feng had reached the seventh level unharmed, then attacked him with Flowing Fire Swallow Plume.
• Lu Feng empowered his Sword Lights with the surrounding soul fires and defeated Jun Zi Shuo's attack, leaving Jun Zi Shuo shocked by his control of them.
• Jun Zi Shuo offered to lift Old Book's Soul Spirit restriction and restore him, while threatening Luo Qingqiu, in exchange for Lu Feng's help reaching the eighth level.
• Jun Zi Shuo explained that Lu Feng had to gather eight Chaos True Fire-level auras in the eight directions to make the teleportation gate appear.

Lu Feng let Jun Zi Shuo believe he had been trapped and subdued while sensing a soul fire containing Chaos True Fire. After Jun Zi Shuo invaded Lu Feng’s soul sea, Lu Feng activated the Spirit Soul Array and revealed that he had lured his enemy into a trap.

• Lu Feng sensed the dark-red soul fire while Jun Zi Shuo watched for a chance to attack.
• Jun Zi Shuo trapped Lu Feng in Ember Plume Gyre, restrained him with Soul Locking Prison Chain, and threatened Old Book and Luo Qingqiu.
• Lu Feng controlled the soul fire and released its black-light aura, then learned that Jun Zi Shuo had never abducted Luo Qingqiu and suspected Jun Ziya had arranged their confrontation.
• Jun Zi Shuo attacked Lu Feng’s soul sea, dismissed his Spirit Gang Exorcism Dharma, and discovered the array enhancing Lu Feng’s seven souls.
• Lu Feng activated the Spirit Soul Array and revealed the Soul Puppet shadows, announcing that he would settle his grievances over Old Mo and Old Book.

Lu Feng used Rage of Returning Ruins to lure Jun Zi Shuo into absorbing the Soul Puppet shadows sealed in his sea of souls, then unleashed a flood of killing-intent remnant souls against him. Jun Zi Shuo was annihilated, but Lu Feng remained surrounded by the killing intent and feared he could not escape its calamity.

• Jun Zi Shuo tore away and devoured Lu Feng's Soul Power, so Lu Feng unleashed Rage of Returning Ruins and baited him into its vortex.
• Lu Feng released the Soul Puppet shadows into the vortex, disguising their power with his own Soul Power until Jun Zi Shuo's sea of souls became saturated.
• Jun Zi Shuo sacrificed Mo Renyue's Soul Spirit to absorb the excess Soul Power, then taunted Lu Feng as the Soul Puppets dwindled.
• Lu Feng broke the Spirit Soul Array containing remnant souls filled with killing intent and sent them pouring into Jun Zi Shuo's opened sea of souls.
• The killing-intent remnant souls devoured Jun Zi Shuo, while Lu Feng remained surrounded by them and feared he could not escape the calamity.

After killing Jun Zi Shuo, Lu Feng suffered severe damage to his soul source and remained at risk of losing control of his killing intent and the sealed Spirit Soul Array. The Soul Fires then formed armor around his Life Soul and began assembling mysterious strokes, leaving Lu Feng to wonder whether they formed the key to passing the trial.

• Sun Liuliu and Mu Hongyin falsely accused Lu Feng of murdering Jun Zi Shuo and urged nearby factions to join their attack.
• Jun Ziya ordered Su Wangyao to help surround Lu Feng but keep him alive, while Yan Shu stayed to protect her.
• Lu Feng dispersed Rage of Returning Ruins, but the technique left his soul source badly injured and made the killing intent and final Spirit Soul Array harder to control.
• Thousands of Soul Fires formed a vortex around Lu Feng and attached themselves to his Life Soul as armor, giving him a powerful connection to Heavenly Dao Soul Fire.
• Lu Feng arranged the Chaos True Fire auras according to Jun Zi Shuo's instructions, but no passage appeared; then the Soul Fires gathered around emerging strokes that he suspected were forming a character.

Lu Feng mastered the Entropy Secret by sensing and assembling the strokes in the merged seventh-, eighth-, and ninth-floor space of the Soul Burning Saint Fire Tower. He discovered a mysterious cage and scroll, but both vanished when he approached them, and a teleportation gate appeared.

• Lu Feng sensed and controlled the scattered strokes, then discovered that correctly joining them revealed cultivation teachings in his soul sea.
• Lu Feng cultivated the Entropy Secret until the strokes formed the character “Entropy,” gaining greater command over the soul fires.
• Lu Feng realized the seventh, eighth, and ninth floors were one integrated space and found a massive box called the Four Aspects Sinful Karma Cage.
• The cage vanished and revealed an Ancient Scroll, but the scroll disappeared when Lu Feng saw the words “Heaven Burning.”
• A familiar teleportation gate appeared before Lu Feng.

After completing the Soul Burning Saint Fire Tower trial, Lu Feng found himself surrounded by hostile factions and escaped by distracting the Blade Sect teams with treasured swords. A Cold Light Sect ambush then forced him to unleash the Heavenfall Sword Array, and the killing intent within him began to overwhelm his restraint.

• Lu Feng discovered that the Four Aspects Sinful Karma Cage and the Ancient Scroll had appeared inside his Kirin Ring after he left the tower.
• Yue Yan and the other gathered factions accused Lu Feng of being a heretical cultivator and moved to kill him, but Lu Feng fled instead of fighting within the tower's barrier.
• Lu Feng invoked Demon Blade Night Monarch's name and threw treasured swords to distract the Blade Sect teams, then broke through their encirclement.
• The Cold Light Sect ambushed Lu Feng with its Flowing Fireflies and Flying Frost spear formation, but Lu Feng shattered it with the Heavenfall Sword Array.
• Lu Feng's sword array devastated the Cold Light Sect's position, and the leaking killing intent made him want to torture its members to death.

Lu Feng fought to escape the Cold Light Sect and Herding Cloud Sect forces, breaking through the Five Thunder Hell and redirecting the Three Elements Thunder Waterfall. After Wang Po wounded him and Mu Hongjun struck him through the back, Lu Feng’s killing intent overwhelmed him, and he nearly tore Wang Po apart in a reckless counterattack.

• Lu Feng unsealed six Spirit Soul Arrays and used Flowing Cloud Rend to destroy the Five Thunder Hell formation.
• Lu Feng redirected the Three Elements Thunder Waterfall into Yue Yan and the pursuing fighters, killing several and scattering the rest.
• Lu Feng attacked the array controllers in the clouds, and one elder was skewered by his flying swords.
• Wang Po ambushed Lu Feng with Gloomy Moon Seven String Claw, while Sun Liuliu praised her attack.
• Lu Feng lost control of his killing intent and brutally attacked Wang Po, ignoring his own safety.
• Mu Hongjun pierced Lu Feng through the back with a thunderous finger strike, but Lu Feng slashed Wang Po across the chest, leaving Sun Liuliu to suspect he had suffered Qi Deviation.

Lu Feng’s killing intent overwhelmed him as he fought off the soulmasters, killing Wang Po and driving the others back while his remaining reason steadily eroded. Sun Liuliu hired two Ghost Domain experts to attack him, and the chapter ended with Lu Feng’s last clarity disappearing amid the slaughter.

• Yue Yan promised the bounty and Saint Sect protection to anyone who attacked Lu Feng, prompting several soulmasters to charge.
• Lu Feng relentlessly attacked Wang Po, then used Exquisite Steps to catch her off guard, severed her arms, and killed her.
• Lu Feng hurled Wang Po’s head at Mu Hongjun and wounded him with a sword, while his killing intent grew stronger.
• Sun Liuliu hired two masked Ghost Domain experts for triple their original reward, and Mu Hongyin ordered her sect’s elders to help her father.
• Lu Feng killed an attacking Blade Sect elder with a flawless Sword’s Basic Form and continued slaughtering the approaching soulmasters until his remaining clarity vanished.

Lu Feng slaughtered the encircling fighters while the Killing Intent drove him into a frenzy, killing Mu Hongjun before Su Wangyao, Xu Ming, and Snow Lion converged on him. Su Wangyao lured Lu Feng away, and Bai Wujiu blocked the pursuers with a wall of crimson fire, asking them to wait half an hour.

• Lu Feng fought with stolen weapons and unleashed increasingly cruel attacks as the remnant souls' Killing Intent overwhelmed his consciousness.
• Mu Hongjun struck Lu Feng and shattered his saber, but Lu Feng attacked him with a Broken Blade whose hidden force killed him and devastated the nearby Cold Light Sect team.
• Sun Liuliu and Mu Hongyin argued over the hired guards Snow Lion and Xu Ming as Yue Yan watched Lu Feng's encirclement weaken.
• Su Wangyao arrived and wounded Lu Feng, then fled as Lu Feng charged after her; Xu Ming and Snow Lion pursued him.
• Bai Wujiu descended between the pursuers and Su Wangyao, raised a wall of crimson flames, and asked everyone to wait half an hour as repayment for a favor owed to Lu Feng.

Lin Xiaowan and Chu Youwei joined Bai Wujiu as he held back Lu Feng’s pursuers, then went to search for Lu Feng after learning he had left with Su Wangyao. Su Wangyao returned to report that Ghost Doctor Song Ci had taken Lu Feng toward the Saintfall Battlefield, prompting Jun Ziya to abandon the rescue attempt and resume her plan to target Luo Qingqiu.

• Lin Xiaowan and Chu Youwei arrived to support Bai Wujiu, then hurried after Lu Feng when they learned Su Wangyao had taken him away and might have ulterior motives.
• Bai Wujiu fought Xu Ming, Snow Lion, and the others to keep them from pursuing Lu Feng.
• Jun Ziya’s group blocked Ji Lanjun and Xi Youmeng from approaching the battle until Su Wangyao returned and said Ghost Doctor Song Ci had taken Lu Feng.
• Su Wangyao told Jun Ziya that Song Ci had poisoned her and carried Lu Feng toward the Saintfall Battlefield, possibly to cure his madness.
• Jun Ziya warned that Lu Feng might recover and ordered Su Wangyao to bring Luo Qingqiu instead, continuing the original plan.

Chu Youwei and Lin Xiaowan tracked Lu Feng into the Ancient Battlefield and recruited Blazing Enchantress and others to help find him. After awakening from his meditation, Lu Feng slaughtered a group of scavengers who tried to approach him and realized the battlefield’s killing intent had changed him.

• Chu Youwei and Lin Xiaowan asked Qin Su and Blazing Enchantress to help summon Lu Feng’s allies and hurried into the Ancient Battlefield.
• Lu Feng awoke after meditating over the battlefield’s accumulated killing intent, but his bloodlust remained strong.
• A group of exiled disciples found Lu Feng and planned to rob and abuse his seemingly unconscious body.
• Lu Feng severed the fat man’s arm without moving, then awakened and killed him and the others with his sword and flying bones.
• Lu Feng recognized that mastering the battlefield’s killing intent had made him more ruthless and sharpened his swordsmanship.

After recovering in the Ancient Battlefield, Lu Feng grasped a more efficient form of battlefield killing intent and set out to settle accounts with Jun Ziya, but discovered the seal on his Spirit Soul Array was cracking under Paradise Hundred-Day Powder’s poison. He followed the sounds of battle and arrived just as Bai Bing and Bai Xue were defeated by the Ice Scythe Sect.

• Lu Feng recovered his memories, understood how the battlefield had refined his killing intent, and left to confront Jun Ziya.
• Lu Feng noticed that Paradise Hundred-Day Powder’s poisonous aura was leaking through cracks in the seal on his final Spirit Soul Array.
• Bai Bing and Bai Xue clashed with the Ice Scythe Sect after its Scarface leader threatened them over their refusal to submit to the Ice Spring Sect.
• The Ice Scythe Sect overwhelmed the Heaven Lotus Sect group, killing or wounding several elders and knocking Bai Bing and Bai Xue to the ground.
• Lu Feng arrived, saw the bloodstained Cold Heart Sword at his feet, and released a chilling killing intent as the Ice Scythe Sect closed in on the fallen sisters.

Lu Feng rescued Bai Bing and Bai Xue from the Ice Scythe Sect, then learned Jun Ziya was holding Luo Qingqiu and agreed to meet her at Celestial Pivot Peak. Jun Ziya set further traps in motion by sending Chu Youwei and Lin Xiaowan toward Nine Yin Gully and taking the injured Bai Bing and Bai Xue as additional leverage.

• Lu Feng killed the Ice Scythe Sect attackers and used Wood Element Qi to treat Bai Bing and Bai Xue.

• Jun Ziya told Chu Youwei and Lin Xiaowan that Lu Feng was headed for Nine Yin Gully while suffering Qi Deviation, and they hurried there to save him.
• Su Wangyao arrived carrying the unconscious Bai Bing and Bai Xue, and Jun Ziya said they had become further leverage against Lu Feng.

Lu Feng and a disguised ally entered Nine Yin Gully, where Yan Shu’s Thousand Coffin Soul Confusion Array trapped Guan Ji but failed to stop them. After Lu Feng ambushed Yan Shu and reached Celestial Pivot Peak, Jun Ziya arrived and took the mountain array talisman from Yan Shu.

• Yan Shu and Guan Ji watched a black-clad figure enter Nine Yin Gully, and Guan Ji went down to test whether he was Lu Feng.
• Guan Ji recognized the figure’s Life-Taking Swordplay, but the figure knocked away Guan Ji’s sword and slipped deeper into the gully.
• Guan Ji’s attacks awakened the coffins and the Thousand Coffin Soul Confusion Array, whose corpse puppets and Death Qi slowed Guan Ji while the black figure evaded them.
• The black figure pierced Guan Ji’s heart, and Yan Shu entered the gully; Lu Feng then struck Yan Shu from behind while the disguised ally attacked from the front.
• Lu Feng and the disguised ally went up the mountain, and Jun Ziya arrived with Su Wangyao and the other Elegant Pavilion members.
• Jun Ziya ordered Yan Shu to guard the gully and gave her the array talisman for the great array on the mountain.

Lu Feng and Blazing Enchantress entered the Celestial Mystery Pavilion’s Book Collection Building, where Jun Ziya’s Yin Yang Reverse Emotion Array and Golden Wind Jade Dew Powder trapped them. Jun Ziya began using the array to pressure Lu Feng, while he tried to protect Blazing Enchantress and reach the center, where Phantom Sound Fairy was being held.

• Lu Feng searched the Celestial Mystery Pavilion ruins for Jun Ziya’s arrangements and Luo Qingqiu but found nothing until Blazing Enchantress told him Phantom Sound Fairy was inside the Book Collection Building.
• Lu Feng decided to enter the Book Collection Building with Blazing Enchantress, while Jun Ziya and Su Wangyao watched from the Thousand Machine Pivot Tower and Jun Ziya prepared to witness her scheme firsthand.
• Lu Feng and Blazing Enchantress discovered a Yin Yang Reverse Emotion Array inside the building, and the array attacked them with flying bamboo slips and shifting bookshelves.
• Lu Feng identified the array as a hastily arranged trap containing poison, and Blazing Enchantress recognized the drifting powder as Golden Wind Jade Dew Powder.
• Jun Ziya warned Lu Feng that Phantom Sound Fairy was at the array’s core and threatened her if he tried to destroy the building, then taunted him about choosing between two women.
• Lu Feng moved toward the array’s center to save Phantom Sound Fairy, while Blazing Enchantress resisted Jun Ziya’s taunts and insisted that Lu Feng was trying to rescue someone.

Lu Feng fought the effects of the Paradise Hundred-Day Powder while Jun Ziya used illusions and the array to turn Luo Qingqiu and Blazing Enchantress into leverage against him. After escaping the Book Collection Building, he learned Bai Bing and Bai Xue were trapped in the Thousand Machine Pivot Tower and leaped toward Mirror Lake as the poison took hold again.

• Lu Feng saw an illusion of Luo Qingqiu being tortured, but Jun Ziya revealed the real Luo Qingqiu was trapped nearby and struck him with Golden Wind Jade Dew Powder.
• Lu Feng freed Luo Qingqiu and ordered Blazing Enchantress to take her away, but Luo Qingqiu returned while Blazing Enchantress was held back by Su Wangyao and the Elegant Pavilion members.
