Lin Ming’s group learned that the Barbarian Race might be near Saint Demise Valley, deep within Gale Canyon, and set out to investigate. They reached the canyon’s dangerous outskirts and began navigating unstable space and hostile creatures.

• Black Wind showed Lin Ming a Barbarian armor fragment and bloodstained cloth recovered near Gale Canyon, and Lin Ming confirmed they carried the Barbarian Race’s aura.
• Black Wind reported that a powerful warning will had driven his group away from the area and pointed toward Saint Demise Valley, a deadly region within Gale Canyon.

• Xiao Yi Xian warned that spatial fissures threatened them, while the group defeated corrupted Magical Beasts and Malevolent Spirits.

Lin Ming, Xiao Yi Xian, and Zi Yan crossed Soul Severing Canyon, resisting its soul-corroding wind and clearing away attacking Remnant Souls. Near the canyon’s end, they encountered a Soul Erosion Lizard King, and Zi Yan began fighting it while Lin Ming guarded against its soul attacks.

• Lin Ming formed a Jade Profound Heart Flame barrier as the group entered Soul Severing Canyon, and Xiao Yi Xian and Zi Yan added their own defenses against the Soul Erosion Wind.

Lin Ming, Xiao Yi Xian, and Zi Yan crossed Soul Severing Canyon and entered the deadly outer region of Saint Demise Valley in search of the Barbarian Race Land. They quietly neutralized a Barbarian sentry post and found the clan’s cave entrance, where the wounded Barbarian Clan Leader was hiding.

• Lin Ming killed the Soul Erosion Lizard King with Explosive Blast Fist and collected its demonic core and horn.

• Lin Ming sensed a hidden Barbarian sentry post, and Xiao Yi Xian used poison to put its guards unconscious without triggering the warning array.

Lin Ming, Xiao Yi Xian, and Zi Yan attacked the Barbarian Race's stronghold, breaking its entrance Restriction and overwhelming its defenders. As the injured Barbarian Clan Leader began losing the battle, he sacrificed the Beast Souls sealed in the entrance statues to increase his power.

After recovering from the battle that destroyed the Barbarian Race tribe, Lin Ming, Xiao Yi Xian, and Zi Yan searched its hidden treasure vault for useful treasures and clues about Saint Demise Valley. Lin Ming found the missing half of a black token he had bought years ago and joined it to the half he already owned, hoping it would reveal its purpose.

• Lin Ming recovered while Xiao Yi Xian guarded him and Zi Yan, and the three discussed the Barbarian Race’s treasure vault and the mysteries of Saint Demise Valley.
• Zi Yan sensed a hidden space behind a mountain wall, and Lin Ming broke its concealment restriction to open the treasure vault.
• The three collected medicinal materials, ores, inheritance records, magic cores, and other valuables from the vault.
• Lin Ming sensed a trace of soul fluctuation among discarded objects and uncovered a black half-token.
• Lin Ming recognized the token as the match to the half he had bought at Jia Nan Academy years earlier, then fitted the two pieces together.

Lin Ming discovered that the Beast King Token granted access to the Beast King Sect’s core inheritance and uncovered the secret history behind the Barbarian Race and the Sectarian Demons. He left the sealed treasure vault with Zi Yan and Xiao Yi Xian, carrying the clan’s secret records and secret art.

• Lin Ming used his Soul Power on the fused Beast King Token and learned it granted access to the Beast King Sect’s core inheritance.
• Lin Ming opened a Black Ironwood Box and found the Soul Fusion Secret Codex, a technique for sealing and fusing Magical Beast souls.
• Lin Ming read an account revealing that a visitor from the Main World had created the Barbarian Race’s cultivation system after becoming stranded on the Dou Qi Continent.
• Lin Ming learned that the visitor’s escaped Beast Souls had become the Sectarian Demons of Saint Demise Valley, forcing the Barbarian Race to settle on the outskirts.
• Lin Ming told Xiao Yi Xian and Zi Yan about the Barbarian Race’s origins, while withholding details about the Main World, Source Qi, and the Ancient Void Dragon.
• Lin Ming stored the records and secret art, then left the treasure vault with Zi Yan and Xiao Yi Xian as the mountain wall closed behind them.

Lin Ming, Xiao Yi Xian, and Zi Yan crossed the deadly core of Saint Demise Valley to reach the altar where a High-Tier Half Sage had perished. They found it protected by a powerful barrier containing Half Sage Law, leaving them without a way to enter.

• Lin Ming and his companions decided to investigate the valley's central region, and Lin Ming spent half a month preparing medicinal pills for the journey.
• The three braved Soul Erosion Wind, Yin Fiend Fire, Nine Nether Cold Qi, spatial rifts, and powerful Sectarian Demons as they pressed deeper into the valley.
• They fought through waves of demons, including a Three-Headed Hellhound with the aura of a Five-Star Dou Ancestor, while using Zi Yan's spatial awareness to avoid deadly lands.
• The group reached the High-Tier Half Sage's Cremation Grounds and saw a towering dark-gold altar surrounded by a translucent shield.
• Lin Ming tested the shield with his Soul Power and identified it as a Half Sage Restriction, then refused Zi Yan's suggestion to break through by force.

Elder Yao awakened and analyzed the Altar’s restriction, then helped Lin Ming and the others exploit a hidden energy node to enter the High-Tier Half Sage’s resting place. The group reached the sealed interior, where they would discover whether Lin Ming’s suspicions were correct.

• Elder Yao awakened with his Soul Power restored to the Peak Eight-Star Dou Ancestor level and examined the Altar’s restriction.
• Elder Yao identified the nine Beast Head Stone Sculptures as bloodline keys, and Zi Yan’s Dragon Clan bloodline briefly weakened the barrier.
• Elder Yao proposed disrupting a hidden energy node with Lin Ming’s Heavenly Flames while Zi Yan supplied Dragon bloodline power.
• Elder Yao found the node, and Lin Ming and Zi Yan disrupted the restriction until a passage opened.
• Lin Ming, Xiao Yi Xian, Zi Yan, and Elder Yao entered the Altar Interior Space before the crack closed.

Lin Ming, Xiao Yi Xian, and Zi Yan crossed into the Half Sage’s altar and fought through increasingly powerful Beast Soul Remnants as Lin Ming followed a Heavenly Flame resonance. They reached a lake of Life Source Energy and Soul Origin, where Lin Ming recognized the flame at its center as the Myriad Beast Spirit Flame.

• Lin Ming sensed that the Jade Profound Heart Flame was reacting to another Heavenly Flame and led Xiao Yi Xian and Zi Yan deeper into the altar.
• The group encountered Beast Soul Remnants, which Lin Ming dispersed with Soul Power, Zi Yan suppressed with Dragon Might, and Xiao Yi Xian resisted with her Calamity Poison Body.
• As the group advanced, the remnants grew stronger and Lin Ming sensed that they were connected to the approaching Heavenly Flame.
• Lin Ming and the others found a seven-colored lake filled with Life Source Energy and Soul Origin, with a crimson glow beneath its surface.
• At the lake’s center, Lin Ming identified the changing crimson flame as the Myriad Beast Spirit Flame.

Lin Ming discovered that the Myriad Beast Spirit Flame had been empowered by the Seven-Colored Lake and its countless Beast Souls, while a Dark Gold Skeleton rested on a Bone Mountain beyond it. He ordered Elder Yao, Xiao Yi Xian, and Zi Yan to hold off the guardians as he raced to claim the Half-Saint Remains.

• Lin Ming sensed the Myriad Beast Spirit Flame’s overwhelming power and realized the lake and its Beast Souls had strengthened it.
• Elder Yao pointed out the Dark Gold Skeleton atop a Bone Mountain, and Lin Ming recognized it as the High-Tier Half Sage’s remains.
• Lin Ming ordered Elder Yao, Xiao Yi Xian, and Zi Yan to restrain the Beast Souls and Myriad Beast Spirit Flame while he collected the skeleton.
• Lin Ming charged toward the Bone Mountain, provoking the Myriad Beast Spirit Flame and the Beast Souls to attack.
• Elder Yao slowed the attackers with a Soul Mud Swamp and struck their soul cores, while Xiao Yi Xian corroded them with poison.
• Zi Yan engaged the Flame Giant Dragon directly, helping hold the enemy back as Lin Ming pressed toward the remains.

Lin Ming climbed the bone mountain, discovered saint soul marrow but no source Qi in the half-sage skeleton, and collected the marrow. When he tried to take the skeleton, its powerful defensive will blasted him back, and he prepared a deeper transformation of his Jade Profound Heart Flame.

• Lin Ming endured the half-sage pressure and climbed the bone mountain while Heavenly Flames shielded him from its Law attacks.
• Lin Ming examined the dark gold skeleton and found no source Qi, then collected the saint soul marrow in a jade bottle.
• Lin Ming tried to lift the skeleton, but its runes erupted and a defensive force shattered his flame barrier and injured him.
• Xiao Yi Xian cried out when Lin Ming was struck, and Lin Ming assured her he was all right.
• Lin Ming formed an ancient seal and enveloped himself in a cocoon of Jade Profound Heart Flame glowing with five colors.

Lin Ming used his Five Elements power to break the Dark Gold Skeleton’s defenses, sealed it in a Jade Coffin, and weakened the Half-Sage pressure in the Altar Space. He then provoked the Myriad Beast Spirit Flame into attacking him and met its assault with the Five Rounds Leaving Fire Method.

• Lin Ming combined his Five Elements Dou Qi, Soul Power, and Jade Profound Heart Flame to penetrate the Dark Gold Skeleton’s defenses and sever its connection to the Bone Mountain and Altar Space.
• Lin Ming carved Supreme Warm Jade into a Jade Coffin, placed the Dark Gold Skeleton inside, and sealed it in his Storage Ring, causing the Half-Sage pressure to weaken.
• Lin Ming swallowed restorative pills and turned his attention to the Myriad Beast Spirit Flame as Elder Yao, Xiao Yi Xian, and Zi Yan remained worn down from battle.
• Lin Ming unleashed his Jade Profound Heart Flame, triggering the Seven-Colored Lake and its Beast Souls to erupt into a Blood Tsunami and charge at him.
• The Myriad Beast Spirit Flame abandoned its fight with Elder Yao and the others, attacked Lin Ming with a blood-colored flame breath, and faced his Five Spirits Descend, Annihilate technique.

Lin Ming fought the Myriad Beast Spirit Flame’s blood-colored Giant Dragon while his five fire spirits battled the beast-soul tide, but the enemy continually regenerated from the Seven-Colored Lake and wore him down. Realizing he could not win through attrition, he began retreating to seek a way to cut off the Flame’s energy supply or destroy its core consciousness.

• Lin Ming formed emerald flame armor and a flaming halberd, then split the Giant Dragon’s destructive breath and clashed head-on with its claw.
• The halberd injured the Giant Dragon, but the lake and beast souls quickly restored it as the battle intensified.
• Lin Ming sustained wounds from the dragon and ambushing beast souls while his Dou Qi, stamina, and mental strength dwindled.
• Lin Ming concluded he had to sever the Giant Dragon’s connection to the lake and beast souls or destroy its core consciousness, and began retreating.

Lin Ming and his allies fought through the Beast Souls and suppressed the Myriad Beast Spirit Flame long enough for him to extract its Origin Fire Seed. The Giant Dragon collapsed and the Beast Souls lost their aggression, leaving Lin Ming victorious but exhausted with the fire seed in hand.

• Elder Yao, Xiao Yi Xian, and Zi Yan unleashed their strongest abilities to restrain the Beast Souls and clear a path for Lin Ming to the Black Stone Platform.
• Lin Ming reached the Myriad Beast Spirit Flame while Elder Yao burned his Soul Origin to suppress its consciousness and Xiao Yi Xian and Zi Yan defended them.
• As the Spirit Flame weakened and its Giant Dragon form began to collapse, Lin Ming combined his remaining Soul Power, Dou Qi, and Jade Profound Heart Flame power into a blade that seized the Origin Fire Seed.
• Lin Ming tore the fist-sized crimson Origin Fire Seed from the Myriad Beast Spirit Flame, causing the Giant Dragon and its remaining energy to collapse.
• The Beast Souls lost their aggression and drifted aimlessly as the lake calmed, while Lin Ming held the fire seed and felt the exhaustion of victory.

Lin Ming secluded himself in the Altar Space to refine the Myriad Beast Spirit Flame, keeping his Five Elements attribute hidden from his companions. The Chaos Spirit Five Elements Art subdued the flame and enabled its fusion with the Jade Profound Heart Flame, creating the Purple Extreme Annihilation Flame.

• Lin Ming asked Elder Yao, Xiao Yi Xian, and Zi Yan to guard outside the Altar Space while he refined the fire seed, and they agreed to leave.
• After the three companions departed, Lin Ming set up soul-warning barriers and swallowed the Myriad Beast Spirit Flame's Origin Fire Seed.
• The Chaos Spirit Five Elements Art suppressed the fire seed's violent energy, purified its Beast Soul remnants, and absorbed its fire, Life Energy, and Soul Power.
• Lin Ming brought the Jade Profound Heart Flame into his dantian and used the Five-Colored Qi Vortex to fuse it with the Myriad Beast Spirit Flame.
• The completed fusion formed a purple-red flame, which Lin Ming named the Purple Extreme Annihilation Flame.
