Chapter Summaries

Lin Feng defeated Toad Elder, captured his soul, and collected the elder’s Beast Flame, Storage Ring, and corpse for Heavenly Fire Venerable. After finding an Earth Tier Advanced cultivation method, Lin Feng recognized that the ruins’ stone platforms formed concentric circles and headed toward the inner treasures.

• Lin Feng restrained Toad Elder’s Soul Body with the Fallen Heart Flame and sealed it in a jade bottle.
• Heavenly Fire Venerable took Toad Elder’s corpse, extracted his Eight-Rank Beast Flame, and passed the flame and Storage Ring to Lin Feng.
• Lin Feng broke the barrier on a stone platform and claimed the Earth Tier Advanced cultivation method, Cold Yin Art.
• Lin Feng studied the stone platforms’ locations, collected Storage Rings and Dou Zong corpses, and flew onward.
• Lin Feng found an already-looted platform and concluded that the platforms formed circles, with higher-grade treasures toward the center and the Dou Zun’s inheritance possibly at the core.

Lin Feng sensed an unfamiliar Heavenly Flame and flew to a black plaza sealed by a barrier, where Dou Zong cultivators had gathered. He reunited with Xiao Yi Xian, who revealed that the plaza held the ruin owner’s inheritance and a Wind Fury Dragon Flame.

• Lin Feng sensed a Heavenly Flame alongside the aura of Xiao Yi Xian’s Netherworld Poison Fire and hurried toward it.
• Lin Feng found a black plaza surrounded by cultivators and learned from Heavenly Fire Venerable that a barrier of Space Power blocked entry.
• Lin Feng joined the Dou Zong gathering and spotted Xiao Yi Xian among the cultivators.
• Xiao Yi Xian told Lin Feng she was safe and had collected an Earth Tier Advanced Fighting Skill and other techniques from Stone Platforms.
• Xiao Yi Xian revealed that the plaza held the ruin owner’s Storage Ring, high-tier medicinal pills, and a Wind Fury Dragon Flame, leaving Lin Feng alarmed that everyone might know about it.

Lin Feng and Xiao Yi Xian examined the treasures behind the Space Shield at Black Stone Plaza and learned that the barrier weakened only when enough people gathered nearby. Heavenly Fire Venerable recognized the plaza as a Bloodthirsty Spirit Transformation Array, leaving Lin Feng facing the possibility of a deadly trap and still no known exit.

• Lin Feng identified the flame tornado as the eighteenth-ranked Wind Fury Dragon Flame and noticed valuable pills and a Storage Ring floating beyond the barrier.
• Lin Feng asked Xiao Yi Xian about the Space Shield, and she explained that it weakened only when the number of nearby people reached a certain amount.
• Lin Feng and Xiao Yi Xian admitted they had found no exit from the relic.
• Heavenly Fire Venerable warned Lin Feng that the plaza's patterns and pillars resembled the Bloodthirsty Spirit Transformation Array.
• Heavenly Fire Venerable explained that the array could slaughter living beings and absorb their energy and souls, while absorbed energy could erode a soul's mind.

Lin Feng realized the Black Stone Plaza was a trap designed to preserve the soul of the ruins’ owner and replenish its energy. Heavenly Fire Venerable identified the owner as Wind Robber Venerable, whose history suggested he possessed a powerful soul cultivation method and an even stronger soul was suppressing Lin Feng’s Soul Power.

• Lin Feng told Xiao Yi Xian through Soul Power that the Black Stone Plaza was likely a trap and explained Heavenly Fire Venerable’s warning about the Bloodthirsty Spirit Transformation Array.
• Heavenly Fire Venerable identified the ruins’ owner as Wind Robber Venerable, a notorious Three-turn Dou Zun who had ruled much of the Western Region and maintained a vast harem.
• Heavenly Fire Venerable recalled that Wind Robber Venerable had stolen the Wind Fury Dragon Flame from an Eight-grade Six-colored Alchemist after killing him.
• Lin Feng deduced that Wind Robber Venerable had obtained a soul cultivation method from the alchemist and that a powerful soul inside the ruins was suppressing his Soul Power.
• Heavenly Fire Venerable explained that Wind Robber Venerable escaped a Six-star Dou Zun by relying on his extraordinary speed, later becoming a Five-turn Dou Zun.

Heavenly Fire Venerable told Lin Feng how Wind Robber Venerable acquired a Heaven Grade Cultivation Method and was driven into hiding after a major faction destroyed his body. With the ruin sealed and escape out of reach, Lin Feng considered his limited means of summoning help and learned that the Hua Gu Sect Master was among the people outside.

• Heavenly Fire Venerable explained that Wind Robber Venerable obtained a wind-attributed Heaven Grade Cultivation Method after joining two other Dou Zuns to ambush the disciple who had won it at auction.
• Heavenly Fire Venerable said a major faction tracked down the attackers, killed the other two Dou Zuns, and destroyed Wind Robber Venerable's body, leaving him to flee as a soul.
• Lin Feng asked whether Heavenly Fire Venerable could break the Spatial Barrier, but Heavenly Fire Venerable said he could not escape without first refining Toad Elder's soul.
• Lin Feng remembered the Space Jade Slip Hei Qing had given him but resolved to save its single use for a life-or-death emergency.
• Xiao Yi Xian pointed out the Hua Gu Sect Master, whom Lin Feng recognized as a powerful man whose son Lin Feng had killed inside the ruin.

Lin Feng learned that two Peak Dou Zongs were competing for Wind Robber Venerable’s treasures and considered how he might escape the plaza’s restraints. He and Heavenly Fire Venerable suspected Wind Robber Venerable’s power was depleted, but they had not found a reliable way to break the array and flee.

• Xiao Yi Xian identified the white-haired black-clad man as a Peak Dou Zong from the Western Desolate Region and said he and the Hua Gu Sect Master had nearly broken the plaza’s spatial barrier.
• Xiao Yi Xian explained that both Peak Dou Zongs had touched the threshold of Dou Zun and wielded Space Power far beyond ordinary Dou Zongs.
• Heavenly Fire Venerable reasoned that Wind Robber Venerable’s spatial barriers had weakened because his power was depleted, giving Lin Feng hope of escaping.
• Lin Feng asked whether he could break the Bloodthirsty Spirit Transformation Array, but Heavenly Fire Venerable said it would be difficult and suggested the Space Jade Slip as a way out.
• Lin Feng questioned how Wind Robber Venerable could suppress their Soul Power if he was depleted, and Heavenly Fire Venerable began analyzing the problem.

Lin Feng realized Wind Robber Venerable had lured treasure seekers toward Black Stone Plaza to feed on them, and Heavenly Fire Venerable identified an array in the surrounding forest that was erasing their soul consciousness. Lin Feng hesitated to expose Wind Robber Venerable because he feared having to fight the surviving treasure seekers afterward, leaving Heavenly Fire Venerable worried that their chances would worsen if Wind Robber Venerable devoured them first.

• Lin Feng concluded Wind Robber Venerable had let him kill Toad Elder because the resulting soul would be easier to claim once Lin Feng was trapped.
• Lin Feng assessed the treasure seekers and realized he could neither persuade them to stay away from Black Stone Plaza nor defeat them by force.
• Heavenly Fire Venerable identified an array beneath the forest as the source of their weakened Soul Perception and said it was erasing their soul consciousness.
• Lin Feng considered destroying the array to expose Wind Robber Venerable, but held back because the treasure seekers could become rivals once the danger passed.
• Heavenly Fire Venerable warned Lin Feng that their chances against Wind Robber Venerable would shrink if he devoured the other treasure seekers first.

Lin Feng and Xiao Yi Xian planned to use her poison to disrupt Wind Robber Venerable’s array while they worked to destroy it. As the Hua Gu Sect Master and Qin attacked the Space Shield, Xiao Yi Xian saw an opportunity to poison the crowd unnoticed.

• Lin Feng told Xiao Yi Xian about Wind Robber Venerable and, with Heavenly Fire Venerable, devised a plan to use her poison against the remnant soul and the array.
• Lin Feng warned Xiao Yi Xian to be careful, then noticed more people arriving as the Spatial Barrier weakened.
• The Hua Gu Sect Master and Qin agreed to join forces to break the Space Shield, each hoping to claim the Heavenly Flame or the Dou Zun’s Storage Ring.
• The Hua Gu Sect Master and Qin unleashed powerful Fighting Skills against the Space Shield, sending shockwaves toward the gathered cultivators.
• Xiao Yi Xian smiled beneath her mask as the shockwaves and the crowd’s distraction offered her a chance to release poison.

Xiao Yi Xian secretly poisoned the crowd as the Spatial Barrier around the treasures shattered and the contenders charged into Black Stone Plaza. While Xiao Yi Xian stayed behind, Lin Feng entered the forest to search for the formations, where he found and uprooted a Stone Platform.

• Xiao Yi Xian slipped tiny wisps of Calamity Poisonous Strength into the air currents, letting them enter the surrounding cultivators unnoticed.
• The Spatial Barrier shattered, exposing the Wind Fury Dragon Flame and Pale Green Ring and sending the crowd rushing toward the treasures.
• The Hua Gu Sect Master and the man in black disappeared as Lin Feng stayed with Xiao Yi Xian instead of joining the charge.
• Lin Feng asked Xiao Yi Xian to remain with Elder Yao, gave her his Snow-white Storage Ring, and hurried into the forest to find the formations.
• Lin Feng found an empty Stone Platform, uprooted it, and saw a yellow-earth pit beneath it.

Lin Feng found and destroyed a buried array plate that had been limiting Soul Perception, then set out to search for more. At Black Stone Plaza, the Hua Gu Sect Master and the old man surnamed Qin fought over Wind Robber Venerable’s Storage Ring while unnoticed blood fed the array beneath the plaza.

• Lin Feng dug nearly two hundred meters underground, found the array plate and its energy stone, and destroyed them with a punch.
• Lin Feng’s Soul Perception reached farther after the array plate was destroyed, but he detected another anomalous area and went to search for more array plates.
• The illusory figure near Black Stone Plaza noticed the lost connection to an array plate and threatened the person interfering with its plans.
• The old man surnamed Qin killed a Two-Star Dou Zong who tried to seize Wind Fury Dragon Flame, keeping the other treasure seekers away from it and the Storage Ring.
• The Hua Gu Sect Master rejected the old man surnamed Qin’s proposed deal, and the two began fighting over Wind Robber Venerable’s Storage Ring.
• As people fought over treasures, blood from those killed in the struggle flowed into grooves in the patterned floor.

Wind Robber Venerable activated a formation at the Black Stone Plaza, trapping the surviving fighters inside a blood-colored barrier. The Hua Gu Sect Master, the old man surnamed Qin, and the others launched their strongest attacks against it, but the chapter ended before the barrier’s fate was clear.

• Wind Robber Venerable revealed that he planned to devour the fighters and seize Xiao Yi Xian’s and Xiao Yan’s Heavenly Flames to restore his soul and regain a body.
• Wind Robber Venerable sensed that most of the Soul Refining Array formation plates in the outer forest had lost contact, then activated the formation beneath the Black Stone Plaza.
• Crimson pillars erupted from the stone pillars, and a massive blood-colored barrier descended to seal everyone inside the plaza.
• The Hua Gu Sect Master and the old man surnamed Qin tried to escape, then called on the others to attack the barrier together.
• The old man surnamed Qin, the Hua Gu Sect Master, and the other trapped fighters unleashed powerful Fighting Skills against the barrier, shaking the plaza with a massive explosion.

Trapped inside the Bloodthirsty Spirit Transformation Array, the cultivators joined forces to attack it and exposed Wind Robber Venerable's soul. He tightened the array, killing the weaker cultivators to fuel its power, while the survivors charged him and faced another deadly command.

• Cultivators inside and outside the array combined their attacks, weakening the barrier and forcing Wind Robber Venerable's soul to appear.
• Wind Robber Venerable refused the cultivators' pleas to let them leave and increased the array's crushing pressure.
• The pressure exploded every cultivator below the Dou Zong realm into blood mist, which the array absorbed along with wisps of Purple-brown Blood.
• Old man surnamed Qin urged the surviving Dou Zongs to attack Wind Robber Venerable rather than let his plan succeed.
• Wind Robber Venerable commanded the cultivators below the Six-star Dou Zong realm to explode.

Wind Robber Venerable intensified the Bloodthirsty Spirit Transformation Array and slaughtered the trapped Dou Zongs, while Xiao Yi Xian revealed that he had absorbed her Calamity Poisonous Strength. The survivors outside the array tried to escape as Xiao Yi Xian prepared to trigger the poison within him.

• A Six-star Dou Zong tried to self-destruct, but the Hua Gu Sect Master and the old man surnamed Qin attacked Wind Robber Venerable, and the ensuing clash gave the cultivator a chance to explode beside him.
• Wind Robber Venerable shielded himself from the blast, but more than a dozen Six-star-or-higher Dou Zongs then charged him in a desperate attempt to fight back.
• Wind Robber Venerable drew energy from collected flesh and blood, unknowingly absorbing Xiao Yi Xian's Calamity Poisonous Strength, then used the array to crush and absorb the other Dou Zongs.
• The terrified people outside the array flew toward the Spatial Barrier, hoping to break through and escape.
• Xiao Yi Xian recognized that Wind Robber Venerable had swallowed her strongest poison and prepared to trigger it within his body.

Wind Robber Venerable slaughtered nearly all the cultivators trapped in his array, leaving only the Hua Gu Sect Master and the old man surnamed Qin to fight him. Lin Feng and Xiao Yi Xian watched from outside as Lin Feng secretly prepared to fuse five flames, while the survivors faced the prospect of defeat.

• Wind Robber Venerable used the array to crush the remaining cultivators into bloody mist, sparing only the Hua Gu Sect Master and the old man surnamed Qin.
• Lin Feng returned to Xiao Yi Xian, learned that Wind Robber Venerable had absorbed flesh and blood tainted by her poison, and chose not to rescue either survivor.
• Wind Robber Venerable struck the Hua Gu Sect Master with an earth-yellow flaming sword and sent him flying into the array barrier.
• Lin Feng left Xiao Yi Xian and began combining the Fallen Heart Flame, Green Lotus Core Flame, Netherworld Poison Fire, Life Transformation Fire, and Eight-Rank Beast Flame.
• The old man surnamed Qin watched the Hua Gu Sect Master's defeat as cultivators outside the array broke down and regretted pursuing Wind Robber Venerable's inheritance.

Lin Feng unleashed a five-flame Emperor Lotus against the Bloodthirsty Spirit Transformation Array, destroying Black Stone Plaza and the array. Wind Robber Venerable survived the blast, but his attempt to keep the disturbance from attracting other Dou Zuns left him trapped beneath the Spatial Barrier.

• Wind Robber Venerable killed Elder Qin and prepared to absorb the flesh and blood of the two Peak Dou Zongs.
• Lin Feng appeared outside the array with a multicolored Emperor Lotus, pressed it against the barrier, and warned the survivors to flee.
• The Emperor Lotus exploded, unleashing a vast fire wave that broke the Bloodthirsty Spirit Transformation Array and engulfed Wind Robber Venerable.
• Xiao Yi Xian used her Netherworld Poison Fire to protect herself as she pursued the Storage Ring blown away by the blast.
• The fire wave destroyed Black Stone Plaza, and a multicolored pillar of light rose before the Spatial Barrier blocked it as Wind Robber Venerable feared attracting other Dou Zuns.

Lin Feng and Xiao Yi Xian survived the Emperor Lotus’s devastating explosion, and Xiao Yi Xian returned with Wind Robber Venerable’s Storage Ring. Wind Robber Venerable attacked Lin Feng, who called on Heavenly Fire Venerable to help wear down the weakened soul.

• The Emperor Lotus exploded, destroying the surrounding forest and the Bloodthirsty Spirit Transformation Array’s collected flesh and blood while leaving the Spatial Barrier intact.
• Wind Robber Venerable reappeared, furious with Lin Feng and weakened by the Soul Power he had spent surviving the blast.
• Xiao Yi Xian returned to Lin Feng with the Storage Ring, which Lin Feng believed contained a Wind Attribute Heaven Grade Cultivation Method.
• Wind Robber Venerable attacked, and Lin Feng met his flaming sword with his fist but was knocked back and wounded.
• Lin Feng called on Heavenly Fire Venerable to help exhaust Wind Robber Venerable’s remaining Soul Power, but Wind Robber Venerable warned him to stand aside.

Heavenly Fire Venerable gathered Lin Feng and Xiao Yi Xian’s flames to unleash the Five Rounds Leaving Fire Method against Wind Robber Venerable. As the two prepared to clash, Wind Robber Venerable showed astonishing speed and closed in on Heavenly Fire Venerable.

• Heavenly Fire Venerable asked Lin Feng and Xiao Yi Xian for their flames, and Lin Feng also gave him an Eight-Rank Beast Flame and the Life Transformation Fire seed.
• Wind Robber Venerable eyed the gathered flames greedily as Heavenly Fire Venerable began performing the Five Rounds Leaving Fire Method.
• Heavenly Fire Venerable formed five fire spirits and fused them into a massive, spinning five-colored fire plate.
• Wind Robber Venerable responded by gathering green Dou Qi around his sword and forming a greenish-yellow tornado.
• Wind Robber Venerable’s body blurred as he raced toward Heavenly Fire Venerable at a speed that shocked Lin Feng and the others.

Heavenly Fire Venerable and Xiao Yi Xian teamed up against Wind Robber Venerable, using a poison eruption to interrupt his attack and leave him vulnerable. After their clashes devastated the ruin, Xiao Yi Xian fired a powerful poisoned arrow at him.

• Heavenly Fire Venerable launched his Five Rounds Leaving Fire Method, but Wind Robber Venerable dodged the fire plate and charged toward him with Flowing Shadow Nine Heavens.
• Xiao Yi Xian triggered the Calamity Poisonous Strength inside Wind Robber Venerable, forcing him to divide his attention and halt his Fighting Skill.
• Heavenly Fire Venerable retreated and sent the fire plate after Wind Robber Venerable, who countered with Shadow-Flash Sword Art: Wind Blade.
• The two Fighting Skills collided and exploded, blasting Wind Robber Venerable away and damaging the surrounding ruin.
• Wind Robber Venerable shielded himself from the shockwave and tried to suppress the poison, while Xiao Yi Xian formed a poisoned arrow and fired it at him.

Lin Feng and Xiao Yi Xian attacked Wind Robber Venerable, but he evaded her poisoned arrow with a burst of speed. Lin Feng released Toad Elder's soul and used it to unleash Myriad Phenomena: Funeral of Souls against Wind Robber Venerable.

• Xiao Yi Xian fired a poison arrow at Wind Robber Venerable while Lin Feng disrupted his attack with a soul-harming soundwave Dou Skill.
• Wind Robber Venerable escaped the arrow with extreme speed, but the purple-brown poison broke free and began ravaging his soul.
• Lin Feng crushed the jade bottle holding Toad Elder's soul and used a Soul Hall iron chain to pull him back when he tried to flee.
• Lin Feng transformed Toad Elder's soul into a giant illusory head and unleashed Myriad Phenomena: Funeral of Souls.

Lin Feng used a soul-targeting Fighting Skill to badly injure Wind Robber Venerable, then refused his offer to part ways unless he surrendered the Wind Fury Dragon Flame. The chapter ended as Lin Feng released another Heaven-tier Protector and detonated its soul against Wind Robber Venerable.

• Lin Feng unleashed a black mist that swallowed Wind Robber Venerable and detonated the soul of a Peak Seventh-grade Alchemist within it.
