Chapter Summaries

Tang Miao left Cairo for the Sahara Desert to find the Sandstorm Wraith, hoping it might be a Wind Element Element Pet. After he and Apas became trapped in the desert’s Illusory Realm, he discovered that she knew a way to guide them into the Sahara proper.

• After Mo Fan and the others departed with Nine Nether Queen, Tang Miao set off for the Sahara Desert.
• Tang Miao entered the desert with Apas, seeking the Sandstorm Wraith and the chance to contract a Wind Element Element Pet.

• When night fell without them finding a way out, Tang Miao camped and pressed Apas to reveal how to navigate the Illusory Realm.
• Apas finally agreed to lead Tang Miao into the Sahara Desert proper.

Tang Miao and Apas crossed the Illusory Realm and searched the Sahara Desert for Wind Element Great Demons, but Tang Miao’s attack on several Nubian Bustards drew their entire tribe after them. With the flock closing in, Tang Miao stopped fleeing and formed a Fire Element Star Constellation.

• Apas led Tang Miao through the Illusory Realm in half a day, and he asked her to locate nearby Wind Element Great Demons.

• A large flock of Nubian Bustards pursued Tang Miao and Apas after he killed the smaller birds.
• Apas explained that the flock attacked because Tang Miao had entered their territory and angered their tribe.
• As the Nubian Bustards caught up and began attacking, Tang Miao stopped running and formed his Fire Element Star Constellation, astonishing Apas.

Tang Miao used his Soul Grade flames and Lightning Domain to destroy thousands of Nubian Bustards, then faced an Intermediate Monarch with Snow Woman and Flame Ji. He tried to bet Apas’s freedom against her affection, but she refused, and the Monarch’s cry enraged the two Element Pets.

• The Nubian Bustard Monarch cried at Snow Woman and Flame Ji, and both Element Pets became furious.

Tang Miao and Apas fought the Nubian Bustard Monarch and its flock, with Flame Ji and Snow Woman attacking the smaller demons. Tang Miao pinned down the Monarch with Apas’s help, then turned his lightning against the thousands of birds rushing to rescue it.

• Tang Miao ordered Flame Ji and Snow Woman to attack the Nubian Bustard flock while the Monarch charged at him.
• Apas used her Medusa gaze to halt the Nubian Bustard Monarch and warned it to leave, but Tang Miao took it on himself to fight the creature.
• Tang Miao struck the Monarch with the Hammer of Thor, then used ice, space, and gravity magic to restrain it.
• Apas joined Tang Miao in weakening the trapped Monarch after he threatened her into helping.
• Tens of thousands of Nubian Bustards rushed to rescue their Monarch, so Tang Miao used a Lightning Net to burn through the flock, taking down nearly a thousand.

Tang Miao wiped out much of a Nubian Bustard flock with his Lightning Element, then the Nubian Bustard Monarch retreated and he and Apas continued across the Sahara. After losing their way in the endless sands, they traveled for three days without finding resources or encountering another Demon Beast.

• Tang Miao unleashed Giant Thunderstorm through his Lightning Net, killing thousands of Nubian Bustards and badly damaging the flock.

• Tang Miao and Apas traveled for three days through empty yellow sands without finding resources or encountering any Demon Beasts.

Tang Miao and Apas struggled to cross the desert after a sandstorm erased their route, while Apas resented her contract and Tang Miao teased her.

• A sandstorm erased their marker overnight, leaving Tang Miao and Apas without a direction in the desert.
• Tang Miao and Apas rode a Camel Beast for half a day, and Tang Miao’s demon pearl lit up, giving them a sign that they were no longer traveling aimlessly.
• Tang Miao claimed his charged demon pearl could protect him even from Medusa, while Apas dismissed his boast and warned him about her mother and sisters.
• Tang Miao explained that he had strengthened his Lightning, Fire, and Space magic, and Apas revealed that her sisters would never let her go because of her Medusa bloodline.

Tang Miao and Apas followed the Demon Bead’s glow to a mysterious mountain, where a powerful Sandstorm Fiend attacked them. Snow Woman and Flame Ji calmed the creature, but it remained furious with Tang Miao.

• Tang Miao told Apas the Demon Bead could greatly amplify their strength and claimed he had fought Khufu.
• Tang Miao and Apas followed the bead’s guidance across the desert to a mountain infused with powerful Earth Element magic.
• As they climbed, Apas sensed a powerful Demon Beast, while Flame Ji and Snow Woman revealed that a Great Monarch-level Element Pet lived on the mountain.
• A magically created sandstorm nearly swept Tang Miao and Apas off the mountain, but Tang Miao protected them with an Ice Wall.
• Snow Woman and Flame Ji emerged from Tang Miao’s Contract Space and calmed the Sandstorm Fiend, which approached them but continued glaring at Tang Miao with fury.

Tang Miao learned that Sandstorm Wind Ji had attacked because a human had harmed her unborn child, and he persuaded her to let them approach the summit by claiming he might be able to help. Wind Ji carried Tang Miao and Apas upward, while Apas wondered how Tang Miao had known so much about her.

• Wind Ji agreed to let Tang Miao and Apas proceed, warning that they would have to leave if he could not help her child.
• Wind Ji lifted Tang Miao and Apas toward the summit, while both remained alert in case she attacked.
• Apas wondered how Tang Miao had identified her and learned so much about her, since she believed no one among her companions could have betrayed her.

Tang Miao and Apas followed Wind Ji across the mountaintop toward the energy needed by Tang Miao’s bead, while Tang Miao suspected that a mage named Dai Wen had once harmed Wind Ji. When Wind Ji sensed demon beasts near her home and rushed toward them, Tang Miao followed, despite Apas’s warning about provoking the Sahara Demon Empire.

• With Wind Ji’s help, Tang Miao and Apas climbed the thousand-meter mountain and followed her across its vast summit.

• Sand and stone spikes pierced the Sky Sand Wolf as a demon wolf fled from the storm toward Tang Miao and Apas.

Tang Miao and Apas encountered a Great Monarch Desert Sub-Dragon while pursuing a magic wolf tied to the object sought by Tang Miao’s Demon Bead and the Sahara Demon Empire. Tang Miao attacked the Desert Eagle Owls guarding the wolf, leaving the confrontation between Wind Ji and the Sub-Dragon ongoing.

• Apas dismissed the Sub-Dragon, and Tang Miao realized his Demon Bead was following the fleeing magic wolf.

• Tang Miao rushed ahead and faced more than ten Desert Eagle Owls while Apas followed him.
• Tang Miao used Ice, Space, and Fire magic to defeat the Desert Eagle Owls and turn them into Remnant Souls.
