They completed their missions by killing roaming Luo Monsters, but stayed trapped away from the camp as Chen Lin tried to restore his qi luck and another group of enemies approached.

  • Chen Lin stopped before the Blue Phantom's territory, released Blind Girl and Kannie, and warned Kannie that his Fortunate Art backlash made him dangerous to be near.
  • Kannie chose to stay with Chen Lin, but a giant formation pillar fell from the void and nearly crushed them; Chen Lin escaped the impact and stored the pillar in Bai Ruxue's Storage Ring.

Ch. 1034Six-Star

  • Chen Lin, Grass, Kannie, and the Feather-Crowned Man’s group attacked the six-star giant eye and destroyed the other giant-eyed Luo monsters.
  • The six-star giant eye reappeared with a stronger aura, causing Xinyue to mutate and attack the Feather-Crowned Man, who killed her.

Ch. 1040Cooperation

Blue Charm revealed that a sealed Xiao Luo held the energy needed to break the space barrier and warned Chen Lin that the Great Heavens Projection would begin within three days.

Chen Lin agreed to help Blue Charm confront Xiao Luo, but warned her that his Soul-Destroying Finger had lost most of its power. As he refined soul liquid to rebuild his strength, Zhenyangzi arrived with a peak-grade Seven Orifices Soul-Gathering Pill that could restore Chen Lin’s soul seed in time for their plan.

  • Chen Lin agreed to cooperate with Blue Charm and revealed that his Soul-Destroying Finger had less than a tenth of its former strength after he detonated his soul seed.

Ch. 1044Awakening

Chen Lin discovered that Blue Charm, Zhenyangzi, and Kannie had been parasitized as Xiao Luo broke free of its seal.
