• Xiao Yan redirected Xiao Zhan’s attention to Xiao Ding and Xiao Li, and Xiao Xuan and Xiao Chen joined in urging the two brothers to find partners.

The Xiao Clan encouraged its members to have children before Xiao Yang broke through to Dou Di, offering cultivation rewards and allowing outsiders to marry into the clan. Xiao Yi Xian gave birth to a daughter, whom Xiao Yang named Xiao Qi'an, and the child was born a Nine-star Dou Zun.

• Hun Tiandi reminded the three clan leaders of their past conflicts with the Xiao Clan and warned that Gu Yuan might join Xiao Xuan against them, but Lei Ying insisted Gu Yuan would never do so.

Hun Tiandi convinced Yan Jin, Lei Ying, and Yao Dan that Xiao Xuan and the Ancient Clan were gathering the Tou She Ancient God Jades, while concealing the Soul Clan’s role in their theft. After the three clan leaders left to investigate, Xiao Yang took Xiao Yi Xian and Medusa into the Heavenly Tomb to help refine the Ascension Pill.

• Hun Tiandi warned Yan Jin, Lei Ying, and Yao Dan that Xiao Xuan might pursue the Tou She Ancient God Inheritance to save the Xiao Clan from decline.
• Yan Jin, Lei Ying, and Yao Dan received messages that their clans’ Tou She Ancient God Jades had been stolen and their guards killed.
• Hun Tiandi blamed the Xiao Clan and the Ancient Clan, then displayed his Emperor Soul Realm aura to deny that the Soul Clan had carried out the theft.
• Yan Jin, Lei Ying, and Yao Dan agreed to return to their clans together and investigate the missing jades.
• After Xiao Xuan emerged from seclusion at late-stage Nine-star Dou Saint, Xiao Yang took Xiao Yi Xian and Medusa into the Heavenly Tomb to help refine the Ascension Pill.

Yao Dan, Yan Jin, and Lei Ying debated which side their clans should support as the Soul Clan and the Xiao and Ancient Clans prepared for conflict. Yan Jin and Lei Ying pressured Yao Dan to commit to the Soul Clan and proposed using Xiao Yang’s newborn daughter as proof of the Yao Clan’s allegiance.

• Yan Jin argued that the three clans had to choose between joining the Xiao and Ancient Clans or relying on the Soul Clan, since either side could destroy them.
• Yao Dan considered abandoning Yan Jin and Lei Ying to seek the Xiao Clan’s protection, while Yan Jin and Lei Ying planned to rely on the Soul Clan and later exploit the Yao Clan’s Alchemists.

• Yao Dan pretended to agree to rely on the Soul Clan, and Yan Jin demanded a token of allegiance from the Yao Clan.
• Lei Ying proposed that Xiao Yang’s newborn daughter serve as the Yao Clan’s token of allegiance.

Lei Ying and Yan Jin pressured Yao Dan into proving the Yao Clan’s allegiance by sending Yao Wangui to assassinate Xiao Yang’s newborn daughter, Xiao Qi'an. Hun Tiandi approved the plan and arranged for the Flame and Thunder Clans to target Medusa and Xiao Yi Xian, promising rewards even if the assassinations failed.

• Yao Dan objected to targeting Xiao Yang’s newborn daughter, but Yan Jin and Lei Ying argued that the clans’ survival demanded a show of allegiance.

• Hun Tiandi agreed to help with infiltration and promised compensation, a share of the spoils, and Xiao Yang’s alchemy inheritance.

• Xiao Yang brought Xiao Yi Xian and Medusa to the Exotic Fire Tower and began refining the Ascension Pill with their help.
• Xiao Yang created missions that promised Supreme Celestial Body materials and Supreme Spiritual Liquid for reaching Eight-star and Nine-star Dou Saint.
• As the trio refined the pills and shared their gains through Dual Cultivation, Xiao Yi Xian and Medusa each advanced one star, and Xiao Yang reached Eight-star Dou Saint.

Xiao Yang strengthened the Yang Realm’s defenses and cultivation resources while the Yao Clan sent Yao Wangui on a nearly suicidal pledge-of-allegiance mission. When infiltrators entered the realm, Xiao Yang’s Clones tracked them, and one powerful intruder abruptly killed his three companions.

• Xiao Yang set up formations across the Yang Realm, increasing the Xiao Clan’s and Snake People Tribe Holy City’s defenses and cultivation resources while arranging for intruders to find only destroyed medicinal materials.
• Yao Dan told Yao Wangui to carry out the clan’s pledge-of-allegiance plan despite the near certainty of his death, and Yao Wangui asked Yao Dan to protect his descendants and spare those involved in the matter with Yao Chen.

• Two One-star Dou Saints tried to assassinate Medusa, but Medusa’s Clone subdued them without losses to the Snake People Tribe.
• As Xiao Yang prepared to capture and interrogate the infiltrators, a Four-Star Dou Saint among the other groups suddenly killed the three people walking with him.

Yao Wangui revealed that he had killed three would-be assassins and come to warn the Xiao Clan that they had planned to target Xiao Qi'an. He offered the Yao Clan’s submission and accepted Xiao Yang’s judgment, leaving the decision about the clan to Elder Yao.

• Yao Wangui killed three members of the Thunder and Soul Clans, sealed their souls, and hurried to find Yao Chen.
• Yao Chen and Xiao Yan confronted Yao Wangui, who admitted that he had come to assassinate Xiao Qi'an before Xiao Yang reassured them that the child was safe.

• Yao Wangui offered his life, the implicated clan members, the Yao Clan’s inheritances, medicinal materials, and Heavenly Flames in exchange for his clan’s survival.
• Yao Wangui presented the preserved souls of replaced Xiao Clan members and Snake-people, then knelt to await judgment.
• Xiao Yang told Elder Yao that he could decide what to do, assuring him that he need not feel constrained by the Xiao Clan.

Xiao Yang secured the Yao Clan’s submission, revived three allies, and accompanied Yao Chen to the Yao Realm. Back in the Yang Realm, the Xiao Clan leaders decided to retaliate against the Yan Clan and Lei Clan for their past crimes and the assassination attempt.

• Elder Yao demanded Yao Wangui’s death and that his parents be honored, while Xiao Yang agreed to spare Yao Feng and the others and support the Yao Clan against the Soul Clan.
• Yao Wangui burned away his life and Soul Origin, and Xiao Yang revived two Xiao Clan members and a Snake-person using prepared bodies and pills.

• In the Yang Realm Council Hall, Xiao Chen, Xiao Xuan, and Xiao Yi Xian backed Xiao Yang’s plan to strike the Yan Clan and Lei Clan in response to the assassination attempt and their past attacks on the Xiao Clan.

After learning that the Flame and Thunder Clans had targeted Xiao Qi'an, Xiao Yang and his allies prepared to retaliate with overwhelming force. They set out for both clans, while Lei Ying sensed danger in the Lei Realm just before Xiao Yang’s challenge rang out.

• Xiao Yi Xian vowed to make the Thunder Clan pay and planned to send a Clone to attack the Flame Clan as well.
• Xiao Yang revealed that he had recovered the Yao, Flame, and Thunder Clans’ pieces of the Tou She Ancient God Jade, which Hun Tiandi had apparently used to frame them.
• Xiao Yang assigned Clones of himself, Xiao Yi Xian, Medusa, Xiao Xuan, Xiao Chen, and Xiao Yan to attack the Flame and Thunder Clans, bringing Puppets and Qing Lin’s and Xiao Yi Xian’s Clones along.
• Xiao Yang and his allies synchronized their Clone strengths in the Exotic Fire Tower and headed for the Flame and Thunder Clans.
• In the Lei Realm, Lei Ying asked Hun Sha about the assassination plan, and Hun Sha told him to wait; then Xiao Yang’s voice demanded that Lei Ying come out and die.

Xiao Yang invaded the Lei Realm to confront Lei Ying over the attempt to assassinate Xiao Yi Xian and their newborn daughter. As the Thunder Clan’s array failed to harm Xiao Yang, Xiao Yi Xian unleashed her Calamity Poison Body, killing several Half Saint elders and leaving Lei Ying to recognize the danger.

• Xiao Yang entered the Lei Realm, killed its guards and two Half Saints, and confronted Lei Ying over the plot against his family.
• Lei Ying and the elders activated the Clan Protection Array and attacked Xiao Yang with the Myriad Lightning Tribulation, but his Dragon Scale withstood the Nine Profound Golden Lightning.
• Xiao Yi Xian charged Lei Ying and self-destructed her Clone, spreading purple-black flames and poisonous Dou Qi across the battlefield.
• Seven-colored lines spread across several Thunder Clan Half Saint elders, killing them and causing their bodies to rot.
• Lei Ying recognized Xiao Yi Xian’s power as the Calamity Poison Body.

Xiao Yi Xian’s self-destruction unleashed a Dou Saint-level Calamity Poison that spread through the Lei Realm, overwhelming the Thunder Clan’s efforts to contain it. As Lei Ying attacked Xiao Yang, one of Xiao Yang’s Clones revealed that more poison was coming and self-destructed, leaving Lei Ying and only Lei Li and Hun Sha standing.

• Lei Ying recognized Xiao Yi Xian’s Dou Saint-level Calamity Poison Body and ordered the Thunder Clan Elders to stop the spreading poison.
• Several elders succumbed to the poison, and one elder self-destructed, but the blast barely slowed the poisonous mist and purple-black Dou Qi.
• A Thunder Clan elder used a Heavenly Flame to burn away some poison, but it could not keep up with the spreading contamination.
• Lei Ying activated the Lei Realm Grand Formation and sent Black Demon Lightning toward Xiao Yang, whose many powerful Dou Sheng Puppets blocked the attack.
• Xiao Yang’s Clone appeared near Lei Ying, declared that more Calamity Poison was coming, and self-destructed, worsening the poison until all but Lei Ying, Lei Li, and Hun Sha had fallen.

Xiao Yang and his allies annihilated the Lei Clan and took control of the Lei Realm, then overwhelmed the Flame Clan and drove out its surviving members. Xiao Yan was promised the Flame Clan’s Heavenly Flames to strengthen himself, while Xiao Yang would claim their origins.

• Lei Ying tried to destroy the Lei Realm, but Xiao Yang and Xiao Xuan struck him with soul attacks and stopped him.
• Xiao Xuan killed Lei Ying, and Xiao Yang killed Lei Li and Hun Sha, leaving no one alive in the Lei Realm besides Xiao Yang’s group.
• Xiao Yang reassured Xiao Chen that he and Xiao Yi Xian could control their Calamity Poison Bodies, then told Xiao Yan he could absorb the Flame Clan’s Heavenly Flames while Xiao Yang took some of their origins.
• Xiao Yan and the others transported the Lei Realm while Xiao Yang searched it for treasures.
• Xiao Yang’s group suppressed the Flame Clan; its experts and everyone above the Dou Emperor realm were killed, and the remaining members were driven from the Yan Realm.

After the Flame Clan and Thunder Clan were destroyed by the Xiao Clan, Middle Continent panicked and speculated about the clan’s strength and motives. Hun Tiandi realized Xiao Yang might have reached Nine-star Dou Saint strength and regretted not dealing with him sooner.

• The Flame Clan’s destruction became widely known, and affiliated forces discovered that the Thunder Clan had also been annihilated and its realm carried toward the Yang Realm.

• Hun Tiandi ordered the Soul Clan to collect information on Xiao Yang and asked Hun Shengtian about the Spirit-Devouring Life-Extinguishing Arrays across the continents.
• Hun Shengtian reported that deployments were more than halfway complete outside the Northwest Continent, and Hun Tiandi planned to use the absorbed energy to strengthen himself and the Four Elders.
• Yao Dan ordered the Yao Clan to fulfill the Xiao Clan’s assignments, support Yao Wangui’s descendants, and refine pills using the medicinal materials Xiao Yang had sent.
• Xiao Yang, Xiao Yi Xian, and Medusa continued refining the Ascension Pill in the Exotic Fire Tower until its medicinal potency was exhausted, while Xiao Yang reached Late-stage Eight-star Dou Saint.

Xiao Yang refined the Ascension Pill and used his clones to rapidly improve his skills and attributes while in the Heavenly Tomb. He, Xiao Yi Xian, and Medusa began taking more pills, and the chapter ended as all three absorbed vast amounts of Heaven and Earth Energy.

• Xiao Yang, Xiao Yi Xian, and Medusa drew vast amounts of Heaven and Earth Energy into their bodies inside the Exotic Fire Tower.

Xiao Yang reached Late-stage Nine-star Dou Saint while Xiao Yi Xian and Medusa advanced to Six-star Dou Saint, then prepared to pursue Dou Di. His clone killed a Soul Clan elder while secretly altering a Spirit-Devouring Life-Extinguishing Array, alerting Hun Tiandi to a likely Xiao Clan attack.

• Xiao Yang broke through to Late-stage Nine-star Dou Saint, and Xiao Yi Xian and Medusa advanced to Late-stage and Early-stage Six-star Dou Saint respectively.

• A Soul Clan Dou Zun reported Hun Mitian's extinguished Soul Tablet to Hun Tiandi, who suspected the Xiao Clan was responsible.

Hun Tiandi concluded that the Xiao Clan had likely killed Hun Mitian while he inspected the Spirit-Devouring Life-Extinguishing Array. Fearing Xiao Yang’s rapid rise, he ordered the Soul Clan to prepare a full assault on the Xiao Clan in half a month.

• Hun Tiandi reviewed Xiao Yang’s extraordinary rise and decided he had to obtain the Tou She Ancient God Inheritance before Xiao Yang grew stronger.
• Hun Tiandi learned that Hun Mitian had died near Starfall Pavilion without sending a report and suspected Xiao Yang or Xiao Xuan had killed him.
• Hun Xuzi proposed that someone from the Yao Clan might have acted, but Hun Tiandi and the other elders ruled out the Yao Clan, Ancient Clan, and Magical Beast clans as likely suspects.
• Hun Tiandi ordered the Soul Clan to prepare for war, recall its elders, and stand ready to activate the Spirit-Devouring Life-Extinguishing Array.
• Hun Tiandi declared that the Soul Clan would attack the Xiao Clan in half a month, and the elders began carrying out preparations.
