• Qian Renhan used the Blood Coagulation Grand Art to fight the Gu Clan Half-Saint, but the elder struck him down and Ziyan recognized him.

• Qian Renhan’s attack left Gu Xun’er without her memories, and Gu Wu summoned Gu Yuan to examine her.
• Gu Yuan learned about Qian Renhan’s power and Gu Xun’er’s condition, then took her toward the magma to confront him.

Zhu Kun revealed himself as Ziyan’s father and tried to make amends after being reunited with her in the Ancient Emperor’s Cave. When Ziyan asked him to kill the Gu Clan members who had threatened to capture her, Zhu Kun attacked, killing Gu Wu while Gu Yuan escaped with Gu Xun’er; Qian Renhan resumed recovering his Dou Qi.

• Zhu Kun recognized Ziyan as his daughter, transformed into human form, and told her he was her father, but she rejected him as an orphan.

Gu Yuan brought the amnesiac Gu Xun'er back to the Ancient Realm and urged her to grow strong enough to reclaim her memories. In the Ancient Emperor's Cave, Qian Renhan devoured a Half-Saint's soul and power, astonishing Zhu Kun as he began cultivating a Heaven Rank skill.

• Gu Yuan brought Gu Xun'er to her residence, taught her cultivation techniques, and watched her begin training.

Qian Renhan completed his cultivation switch and decided to leave Ziyan with Zhu Kun for her safety, but Zhu Kun stopped him and revealed that a realm called Half Emperor existed above peak nine-star Dou Saint. Zhu Kun left Qian Renhan wondering what the Dragon Emperor was planning and why the realm was so difficult to reach.

• Qian Renhan rapidly completed his cultivation switch, while Zhu Kun noticed a faint, mixed dragon aura among the blood-colored armor fragments.
• Ziyan asked Qian Renhan to take her away, but he explained that Zhu Kun was her father and that staying with him was safer than traveling with a Gu Clan target.
• Qian Renhan thanked Zhu Kun, gave Ziyan pills, and opened a spatial passage to leave; Zhu Kun closed it and asked whether Qian Renhan had killed dragons.

• Zhu Kun explained that a Half Emperor could barely tear open the Ancient Emperor's Cave and revealed that an Emperor Grade Crude Pill inside had reached that realm.

• Qian Renxue, Life, and Ye Lingling arrived carrying the Chaos Sacred Sword, the Life Ancient Tree, and the Silver Dragon Spear, which Qian Renhan had upgraded to a Super Divine Artifact.

Qian Renxue urged caution toward the six God Realms as the God Kings prepared to face an approaching cosmic storm, while the six quietly considered how to secure the Douluo God Realm’s support. Elsewhere, Qian Renhan returned to the mountains outside Jia Nan Academy with Ziyan and confronted the Gu Clan’s hidden pursuers.

• Destruction, Qian Renxue, Ye Lingling, and Life met representatives of six God Realms in the universe and learned about their alliance against an approaching storm.

Qian Renhan left the Ancient Emperor's Cave and searched the Central Continent for rare cold-energy resources, only to find a Soul Hall stronghold and encounter Old Man Yao. He left the chapter facing the imprisoned elder, who asked why he had come.

• Qian Renhan refused to take the underpowered Ziyan to Jia Nan Academy, and she left for Ancient Dragon Island to find her clansmen.
• Qian Renhan planned to grow stronger by devouring rare resources and eventually using the Gu Clan and Soul Clan as fuel for his ascension.
• Qian Renhan found a cold, mist-shrouded mountain range on the Central Continent and followed its cold energy to a black palace.

• Qian Renhan found Old Man Yao bound in a sphere of light and recognized him, and Old Man Yao asked why he was there.

• Qian Renhan absorbed the energy in the Soul Locking Chains and killed Star Snatching Old Ghost when he attacked.
• Qian Renhan refined Star Snatching Old Ghost’s soul to restore Yao Chen’s body, though Yao Chen said his soul realm remained damaged.

• Qian Renhan and Yao Chen entered a vast underground chamber, where Yao Chen identified its altar as the Soul Devouring Death Formation.

• Yao Chen explained that Soul Hall’s Soul Devouring Death Formation could drain the blood energy of living beings across ten thousand li, and Qian Renhan found the Cold Marrow that powered it.
• Qian Renhan absorbed enough Cold Marrow to reach the peak of the late Three-Star Dou Saint realm, then stopped before consuming it all to preserve the mountain range’s climate.
• Qian Renhan took Yao Chen to Starfall Pavilion in his Storage Ring and removed the Soul Devouring Death Formation for future use.

• At Starfall Pavilion, Xiao Yan told Wind Venerable that Han Feng had betrayed Yao Chen, and Wind Venerable raged at Han Feng and Yao Chen.
• Qian Renhan entered Starfall Pavilion, greeted Xiao Yan, and reunited with him.

Yao Chen arranged for Qian Renhan to protect Xiao Yan through the Alchemist Conference in exchange for access to its ancient soul cultivation method, while Qian Renhan also secured medicinal ingredients for alchemy practice. Yao Chen gave Qian Renhan two drops of Heavenly Demon Phoenix essence blood, which strengthened his body and produced dragonlike and phoenixlike sounds when he belched.

• Yao Chen warned Xiao Yan not to adopt Qian Renhan's ruthless outlook and offered to help him cultivate at Starfall Pavilion.
• Yao Chen told Qian Renhan that the sealed Three Thousand Flames had accumulated immense energy and proposed a deal: protect Xiao Yan until the Alchemist Conference ended in exchange for the ancient soul cultivation method.

• Yao Chen gave Qian Renhan two drops of Heavenly Demon Phoenix essence blood as thanks from Xiao Yan for saving him.
• Qian Renhan swallowed both drops and let their energy temper his body, then belched with sounds resembling a dragon's roar and a phoenix's cry, startling Yao Chen.

Qian Renhan arrived just in time to save Xiao Yan and Little Fairy Doctor from Ice River Valley’s Valley Master, Ice River. He killed Ice River, gave his body to Xiao Yan for Yao Chen, and left the terrified Soul Hall experts facing him.

• Ice River appeared in Ye City and attacked Xiao Yan’s group with black snowflake dragons, overpowering Little Fairy Doctor and Heavenly Flame Venerable.

• Qian Renhan gave Ice River’s cleansed corpse to Xiao Yan to refine a body for Yao Chen, and Xiao Yan stored it away.
• Qian Renhan devoured Ice River’s soul while Soul Hall elder Qing He and the other Soul Hall experts recognized him and feared for their lives.

After Qian Renhan wiped out the Ice River Valley elders and Soul Hall experts, Xiao Yan wrestled with his gratitude toward Qian Renhan and his feelings for Xuner, resolving to grow stronger. Qian Renhan practiced Ice Venerable’s sword techniques in search of a way past his Sword Dao bottleneck and hoped Starfall Pavilion could lead him to more sword skills.

• Qian Renhan devoured the corpses of the fallen Soul Hall experts while Xiao Yan introduced him to Little Fairy Doctor and Heavenly Flame Venerable as his older brother.
• Xiao Yan reflected on the danger of a conflict between Qian Renhan and the Gu Clan, which was Xuner’s maternal clan, and decided he needed to improve his cultivation and alchemy.
• Qian Renhan practiced Ice Rain and Ice Dragon Collapse River before a waterfall, using the techniques to seek a path beyond the third level of the Sword Dao.
• Qian Renhan hoped Starfall Pavilion’s intelligence network would help him find more sword techniques after the Alchemist Tower matter and before the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit appeared.

Xiao Yan and the Ye Family reached Holy Pill City with Qian Renhan’s help, while Qian Renhan went to investigate the imprisoned Three Thousand Flames. He captured Mu Gu, then released him to summon the Tianming Sect, anticipating a chance to seize more power.

• Qian Renhan opened a spatial passage that took Xiao Yan, Ye Zhong, Little Fairy Doctor, Heavenly Flame Venerable, and the Ye Family directly to Holy Pill City.

• Qian Renhan pierced Mu Gu’s tongue with Yichen’s Storage Ring and told him to summon the Tianming Sect to Tiandan City.
• Mu Gu flew off to seek help removing the ring, and Qian Renhan hoped the confrontation would draw out the Tianming Old Monster.

At the Tianming Sect, Old Man Mug revealed that Qian Renhan had killed Yichen and presented Yichen’s Storage Ring as proof, prompting Tianmingzi to head to Holy Pill City. There, Qian Renhan welcomed the arriving Tianming Sect as a chance to gather more killing intent, before an accidental encounter with a young woman led him to discover that absorbing his Mental Power had made it more condensed.

• Tianmingzi demanded to know who had killed Yichen, and Old Man Mug identified the culprit as someone in Holy Pill City.
• Old Man Mug showed Tianmingzi Yichen’s Storage Ring to prove his claim.
• Seven days later, the Dan Clan arrived in Holy Pill City ahead of the alchemist assessment.
• Tianmingzi and nearly a hundred Tianming Sect members entered a plaza, where Qian Renhan recognized their killing intent and considered them useful supplements.
• Qian Renhan bumped into a young woman, caught her wrist, and discovered that her absorption of his Mental Power had left it more condensed when he drew it back.
