Chapter Summaries

Lin Ming and his companions defeated a band of attackers in Fallen Phoenix Abyss, then encountered Huang Ming and four members of the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan. Huang Ming demanded they leave, but Lin Ming refused, setting the stage for a confrontation.

• Lin Ming burned the One-Eyed Strongman's arm and shoulder with his Dark Purple Flames while Xiong Zhan, Zi Yan, and Qing Lin overcame the other attackers.
• Lin Ming collected the attackers' Storage Rings and intact Dou Venerate corpses, then led the group deeper into Fallen Phoenix Abyss.
• Lin Ming and his companions found scarlet crystals bearing traces of Ancient Heavenly Phoenix energy before the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan tore open the clouds above them and descended.
• Huang Ming ordered Lin Ming's group to leave the clan's forbidden area, but Zi Yan refused, and a Three-Star Dou Venerate attacked her.
• Xiong Zhan intercepted the attacker and matched his strike, after which Huang Ming pressed the group with his Six-Star Dou Venerate aura.
• Lin Ming shielded his companions from Huang Ming's pressure and declared that the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan could not force them out.

Lin Ming and his companions followed the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan into Fallen Phoenix Abyss after an ancient pressure revealed a fissure leading to a relic. They reached a vast underground chamber and saw a massive rune-covered altar, while violent clashes sounded ahead.

• Zi Yan and Huang Ming nearly fought until an ancient pressure rose from the abyss and startled both groups.
• Huang Ming concluded the pressure might come from an Ancient Heavenly Phoenix legacy and led his clan through a crimson fissure.
• Lin Ming chose to follow the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan at a distance, and Qing Lin said the pressure had stirred the tattoo on her back.
• Lin Ming used his New Purple Extreme Annihilation Flame to shield his group as they crossed the violent energy at the fissure entrance.
• Lin Ming and his companions reached the passage exit and saw an enormous underground space with a jade-white altar as bird cries and energy clashes sounded nearby.

The Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan sacrificed their essence blood to awaken the Ancient Heavenly Phoenix remnant soul, but Yu Cang appeared and confronted it. After their battle began, Yu Cang’s long years of suppression left him weakening against the newly strengthened beast.

• Huang Ming and four Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan members fed their essence blood into the altar, awakening the Ancient Heavenly Phoenix remnant soul.
• Zi Yan recognized that the clan was summoning the remnant soul, and Lin Ming, Xiong Zhan, and Qing Lin realized they faced a potentially fatal threat.
• Yu Cang appeared and revealed himself as the Beast Taming Sect’s last Sect Master, who had suppressed the Ancient Heavenly Phoenix there.
• The Ancient Heavenly Phoenix recognized Yu Cang and attacked him, prompting him to use the altar’s runes to form an Energy Palm.
• Yu Cang and the Ancient Heavenly Phoenix fought amid the collapsing underground space, but Yu Cang’s remnant soul began to weaken as his Soul Power ran low.

Yu Cang stopped his self-immolation after the Beast King Token revealed Lin Ming and his companions as hope for the Beast Taming Sect’s inheritance. He sacrificed his remnant soul to restrain the Ancient Heavenly Phoenix and send Lin Ming, Zi Yan, Qing Lin, and Xiong Zhan through a Space Passage as the altar collapsed.

• Yu Cang began self-immolating to trigger the altar’s natal Restriction and destroy the Ancient Heavenly Phoenix, while Huang Ming and the other Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan members tried to stop him.
• Lin Ming drew out the Beast King Token, whose resonance with Yu Cang and the altar halted Yu Cang’s self-immolation and revealed Lin Ming, Qing Lin, Zi Yan, and Xiong Zhan as potential successors to the Beast Taming Sect.
• Yu Cang burned his remnant soul into a giant white hand and seized the Ancient Heavenly Phoenix’s remnant soul, then activated the Beast King Token to protect Lin Ming and his companions.
• A golden Light Pillar joined the token’s azure light to form a Space Passage, which carried Lin Ming, Zi Yan, Qing Lin, and Xiong Zhan away despite Huang Ming’s attempt to stop them.
• The altar collapsed, burying the five Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan members and ending Yu Cang’s final struggle in the destruction of the Underground Space.

Lin Ming and his companions reached the Beast Taming Sect’s final inheritance ground, where Yu Cang offered its last inheritance to Lin Ming or Qing Lin. Lin Ming chose to give it to Qing Lin, who entered the inheritance passage as Yu Cang’s Remnant Soul vanished.

• Lin Ming, Qing Lin, Zi Yan, and Xiong Zhan arrived at the Myriad Beast Hall, where Yu Cang revealed it held the Beast Taming Sect’s final inheritance.
• Yu Cang explained that his remaining power could open the inheritance passage for only one person, and he named Lin Ming and Qing Lin as ideal candidates.
• Qing Lin urged Lin Ming to take the inheritance, but Lin Ming insisted she accept it because her Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils were perfectly suited to it.
• Yu Cang burned away his Remnant Soul to open the inheritance passage, then dissipated after entrusting the sect’s future to Qing Lin.
• Qing Lin entered the passage, which closed behind her, leaving Lin Ming, Zi Yan, and Xiong Zhan to wait for her return.

Yu Cang gave Lin Ming the dangerous Turbid Lotus Spirit Quenching Art, a secret soul technique inspired by the Ancient Heavenly Phoenix’s Nirvana. Lin Ming accepted the inheritance and entered the Malice Soul Pool to begin tempering his soul, risking corruption and destruction.

• Yu Cang re-formed a fading echo of consciousness and revealed that his Turbid Lotus Spirit Quenching Art had contributed to the Beast Taming Sect’s destruction.
• Yu Cang warned Lin Ming that the art could transform the soul through malice but could also drive its practitioner mad or destroy their soul.
• Lin Ming chose to inherit the art, and Yu Cang sacrificed his final consciousness to transmit its complete teachings and create the Malice Soul Pool.
• Lin Ming bowed to Yu Cang, told Zi Yan and Xiong Zhan to protect him, and sent his Soul Body into the pool.
• The Malice Soul Pool surged with remnant beast souls and malice as Lin Ming’s soul began its perilous tempering.

Lin Ming endured the Malice Soul Pool’s attacks, illusions, temptations, and the Ancient Heavenly Phoenix’s hatred until he understood how to use the Turbid Lotus Spirit Quenching Art to transform malice rather than simply reject it. He began carefully tempering a new bud within his Soul Lotus Seed, but the true refinement still lay ahead.

• Lin Ming entered the Malice Soul Pool and resisted its Beast Soul Remnants and illusions with his Soul Barrier and the Turbid Lotus Spirit Quenching Art.
• The pool tempted Lin Ming with peaceful surrender and the promise of power, but he rejected both and purified their influence.
• The Ancient Heavenly Phoenix Remnant Soul attacked Lin Ming with Red Gold Hatred Fire, nearly overwhelming his soul and will.
• Zi Yan anxiously tried to help Lin Ming outside the pool, but Xiong Zhan held her back because the soul tempering could not be interrupted.
• Remembering the Turbid Lotus Spirit Quenching Art’s chant, Lin Ming realized that he needed to understand and transform the malice instead of merely resisting it.
• Lin Ming nurtured an embryo bud within his Soul Lotus Seed and began cautiously guiding in mild malice to refine it.

Qing Lin emerged from the Beast Taming Sect inheritance as an early One-Star Dou Venerate and found Lin Ming still enduring the Turbid Lotus Spirit Quenching Art. Lin Ming purified the Malice Soul Pool and formed a Soul Lotus, reaching a soul realm beyond Spirit Realm Grand Perfection.

• Qing Lin emerged from the Inheritance Altar with the strength of an early One-Star Dou Venerate and saw Lin Ming meditating beside the Malice Soul Pool.
• Qing Lin learned that Lin Ming had endured the dangerous Turbid Lotus Spirit Quenching Art for over half a year, and she joined Zi Yan and Xiong Zhan in watching over him.
• Lin Ming's soul persisted through the pool's malice, tempering his Soul Essence around a growing core of Pure Light.
• Lin Ming's Pure Light broke through the Pitch Black Flower Bud, purifying the pool's malice and defeating its final counterattack.
• Lin Ming's Soul Lotus bloomed, releasing Soul Pressure beyond Spirit Realm Grand Perfection across the Myriad Beast Hall.

After more than half a year of tempering in the Malice Soul Pool, Lin Ming awakened with a Heavenly Soul and advanced to Four-Star Dou Venerate. He reunited with Qing Lin, Zi Yan, and Xiong Zhan, then decided they would leave Myriad Beast Hall and face what awaited them outside.

• Lin Ming broke through from Spirit Realm Grand Perfection to the Heavenly Realm, and his Pure World Soul Lotus purified the Malice Soul Pool.
• Lin Ming's transformed Soul Body rejoined his flesh body, and the feedback from his breakthrough raised his cultivation from peak Two-Star Dou Venerate to Four-Star Dou Venerate.
• Qing Lin, Zi Yan, and Xiong Zhan welcomed Lin Ming after he awoke, and he thanked them for staying by his side.
• Lin Ming reflected on Qing Lin's Beast Taming Sect inheritance and the group's increased strength, then said it was time to leave Myriad Beast Hall.

Lin Ming and Qing Lin left the Myriad Beast Hall with Zi Yan and Xiong Zhan and returned to the collapsing altar ruins, where the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan ambushed them. They wiped out Huang Ming’s force, collected the corpses, and fled Fallen Phoenix Abyss as the altar space was annihilated.

• Qing Lin activated the inheritance to open a passage out of the Myriad Beast Hall, and Lin Ming, Zi Yan, Xiong Zhan, and Qing Lin returned to the ruined underground altar.
• Huang Ming confronted the group and demanded to know what they had obtained, but Lin Ming ordered the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan to move aside or die.
• Qing Lin used her Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils to suppress and kill a Three-Star Dou Venerate who attacked her.

• Xiong Zhan wounded the fleeing Two-Star Dou Venerate, and Lin Ming finished him with the New Purple Extreme Annihilation Flame.
• Lin Ming stored the Sky Demon Phoenix corpses in his Inner World, and the four companions fled as the altar space collapsed and was annihilated.

Lin Ming and his companions returned to the Five Elements Sect after nearly two months of travel and found it transformed into a thriving, well-defended power. He reunited with Xiao Yi Xian and Elder Yao, welcomed new experts into the sect, and left with his followers for the main hall, aware that greater challenges still awaited them.

• Lin Ming, Zi Yan, Qing Lin, and Xiong Zhan reached the Five Elements Mountain Range and admired the sect’s expanded grounds, formations, and growing population.
• Xiao Yi Xian and Elder Yao welcomed the four back at the mountain gate, where Lin Ming sensed how much Xiao Yi Xian had advanced.
• Xiao Yi Xian introduced Venerable Mo Ying, a Three-Star Dou Venerate who had joined the sect as its Elder of Punishment, along with other newly recruited Dou Zong experts.
• Lin Ming welcomed the new members and heard from Xiao Yi Xian that the sect had grown to more than a thousand disciples and established ties with Blazing Flame Valley and the Pill Tower.
• Lin Ming acknowledged the strength of the sect’s leaders and disciples, then led everyone toward the main hall as he considered the remaining threat from the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan.

After recounting his gains from Fallen Phoenix Abyss, Lin Ming learned that an ancient Dou Sheng ruin had been discovered in the Beast Domain. He chose to lead a small team there to claim its treasures, leaving Xiao Yi Xian and Elder Yao to guard the Five Elements Sect.

• Lin Ming told the Five Elements Sect leaders about his journey through Fallen Phoenix Abyss and Qing Lin's inheritance, while withholding details of his own cultivation method.
• A disciple delivered an urgent intelligence report that a wolf-headed expedition team had found vast ancient ruins in the Beast Domain, likely left by a Dou Sheng.
• Lin Ming explained that powerful Magical Beast clans and human factions were moving toward the ruins, where he knew the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit, a high-tier pill, and a Soul Infant Fruit could be found.
• Lin Ming appointed Zi Yan, Qing Lin, and Xiong Zhan to accompany him, while Xiao Yi Xian and Elder Yao stayed behind to protect the sect.
• Lin Ming ordered Xiao Yi Xian to allocate supplies and Venerable Mo Ying to gather intelligence so the expedition could depart quickly.

• Lin Ming coordinated intelligence gathering and supplies with Xiao Yi Xian, Elder Yao, Qing Lin, and Zi Yan before departing.
• Qing Lin summoned the Nine Profound Nether Python, and Lin Ming led Zi Yan, Qing Lin, Xiong Zhan, and the others out of the Five Elements Sect.
• The group traveled west for more than half a month, avoiding most trouble as Lin Ming trained his Heavenly Soul and his companions prepared for the journey.
• Lin Ming's group arrived at the Beast Domain's Hundred Thousand Mountains, where the Ancient Dou Sheng Ruins were hidden in the Bone Mountain Range.

Lin Ming and his group traveled to the Bone Mountain Range, where a Dou Sheng’s Ancient Ruins had appeared and drawn powerful contenders from across the Beast Domain. As they arrived, Lin Ming agreed to meet the sect’s investigators before entering the crowded and dangerous region.

• Di Kong warned Lin Ming that riding the Nine Profound Nether Python into the Nether Python Clan’s territory could provoke the clan, so Lin Ming had Qing Lin put the mount away.
• Lin Ming and his group flew toward the Bone Mountain Range, passing Magical Beasts and human experts heading for the rumored Heaven Tier Dou Technique.
• After nearly ten days of travel, the group saw the bone-covered mountains and sensed numerous powerful auras, including several Dou Venerates.
• Di Kong suggested meeting the two sect Deacons at a temporary gathering point to learn the latest news and locate the ruins’ entrance, and Lin Ming agreed.

Lin Ming learned that the Profound Nether Sect and Blood Vulture Clan were trying to seize the Five Elements Sect’s encampment, and he led his people to confront them. The chapter ended with Elder Xuan Gu preparing to attack deacon Li Mo and the outnumbered defenders.

• Deacon Chen Song reached Lin Ming and Di Kong and reported that the Profound Nether Sect and Blood Vulture Clan were demanding the Five Elements Sect abandon its hilltop camp.
• Di Kong explained the two factions’ strength, but Lin Ming refused to back down and ordered Chen Song to lead them to the encampment.
• Lin Ming’s group sped toward the camp, drawing attention from other experts as they passed.
• At the hill, Elder Xuan Gu and Jiu Tu threatened Li Mo and the few Five Elements Sect defenders surrounding them.
• Elder Xuan Gu gathered icy black Dou Qi as the Profound Nether Sect and Blood Vulture Clan prepared to overwhelm the defenders.

Lin Ming arrived at the Bone Mountain Range just as the Profound Nether Sect and Blood Vulture Clan threatened the Five Elements Sect disciples, then swiftly defeated Elder Xuan Gu and let Xiong Zhan slaughter the Blood Vulture Clan attackers. The Five Elements Sect secured its chosen mountain peak and established its authority in the range.

• Lin Ming appeared with Zi Yan, Qing Lin, and Xiong Zhan, gave Li Mo a healing pill, and confronted Elder Xuan Gu and Jiu Tu.
• Lin Ming crushed Elder Xuan Gu's Profound Nether Body Protection and hurled him into a bone mountain, leaving his fate unknown.

• Xiong Zhan killed the remaining Blood Vulture Clan fighters as they tried to escape, leaving none alive.
• Lin Ming praised Xiong Zhan while the Five Elements Sect disciples celebrated their victory and claimed the mountain peak.

Lin Ming’s Five Elements Sect established itself at the Bone Mountain Range ruins as major factions and monster clans gathered. The ruins began to materialize, signaling their imminent opening.

• Huang Xuan led the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan to the gathering, while the Nether Python Clan and other monster clans arrived in force.
• The ancient palace ruins solidified as a desolate hum shook the Bone Mountain Range and the ruins began to open.

As the Ancient Ruins opened, Lin Ming and the other powerful factions watched the crowd trigger a deadly fire passage. Lin Ming used his newly formed New Purple Extreme Annihilation Flame to lead his companions safely through, while Tang Zhen prepared to follow.

• The scarlet Stone Door opened, and greedy treasure seekers rushed into the dark passage before its deadly magma and blue flames killed many of them.
• The major factions formed Dou Qi shields and entered the Fire Passage, enduring the flames as they raced toward the ruins.

• Tang Huo'er marveled at Lin Ming's growing strength, and Tang Zhen led Blazing Flame Valley after him.

Lin Ming led the Five Elements Sect through the Fire Passage under the protection of the New Purple Extreme Annihilation Flame, then sensed a hidden route and plunged into the lava. The group emerged in an underground passage and realized the Fire Passage above was an enormous loop trapping the other factions.

• Lin Ming's flame shielded the Five Elements Sect from the lava and Eerie Blue Flames as they raced past other factions struggling to conserve their Dou Qi.
• The Five Elements Sect spotted Chen Tiannan and the Profound Nether Sect ahead, and Chen Tiannan hurried his group away after sensing Lin Ming behind him.
• When Xiong Zhan complained about the passage's length, Lin Ming redirected the group into the boiling lava beside them.
• Lin Ming guided the group downward through the lava for about forty breaths until they passed through an invisible barrier and landed in a stone passage.
• The group saw the Fire Passage looping overhead and realized the factions above were circling through a deliberately designed ring.

Lin Ming led the Five Elements Sect through the false Fire Passage and reached a sealed gate guarded by ten Earth Demon Puppets. As rival factions arrived, the Puppets slaughtered the first attackers, and a One-Star Dou Venerate stepped forward to challenge them.

• Lin Ming exposed the Fire Passage as a circular trap and led the Five Elements Sect into the ruins’ inner plaza.

• A Grey-robed Old Man with One-Star Dou Venerate strength stepped forward to challenge the Puppets as Lin Ming watched.
