• Qing Xiao told Xiao Yan and Yao Chen that an Ancient Void Dragon Clan expert had injured her and forced her to retreat from her attack on Lin Feng.

Lin Feng began refining the Three Thousand Burning Flame while Xiao Yan traveled through a Space Wormhole toward the Southern Region, wary of Lin Feng's revenge. As Gu Xun'er went ahead to scout the exit, two figures burst through a crack in the space above Xiao Yan's ship.

• Gu Xun'er left the Space Ship to check the wormhole exit ahead of Xiao Yan.
• A crack opened above Xiao Yan's deck, and two figures shot out before he and the others could react.

Two puppets detonated inside the Space Wormhole, causing a massive explosion that swallowed Xiao Yan and partially collapsed the passage. Gu Xun'er flew toward the blast site to search for him as the shockwaves began to fade.

• Xiao Yan recognized the two black figures as puppets, but Yao Chen sensed danger and warned him to run.

• Gu Xun'er saw Xiao Yan disappear into the explosion and tried to rush toward him, but two Ancient Clan experts restrained her.
• Gu Xun'er threatened to report the experts and then threatened to self-destruct unless they released her.
• The Ancient Clan experts released Gu Xun'er as the aftershocks faded, and she immediately flew toward the explosion site.

Zi Yan’s puppet explosion blasted Xiao Yan into the void and left him gravely injured. Yao Chen returned carrying Xiao Yan, while Gu Xun’er blamed Lin Feng and rushed to examine him.

• Zi Yan celebrated the puppet’s successful attack, then slipped away after the Ancient Clan experts sensed her nearby.
• The explosion shattered Xiao Yan’s shield and injured him severely, sending him into the void after the Space Wormhole walls broke apart.
• Gu Xun’er found Xiao Yan missing, blamed Lin Feng, and ordered the Ancient Clan experts to search for him and pursue the suspected attacker.
• Yao Chen emerged from the breach carrying Xiao Yan, whose body was badly burned and whose condition shocked Gu Xun’er.

Xiao Yan was left near death after Lin Feng’s retaliation, and Gu Xun'er took him to Starfall Pavilion while Yao Chen fell into slumber. At the Corpse Burial Mountain Range, the Great Heavenly Venerate confronted Soul Hall leaders over a string of devastating losses and demanded they explain themselves.

• The Soul Hall Elders turned toward a short, fat man as the Great Heavenly Venerate waited for an answer.

The Great Heavenly Venerate heard reports that attackers using the Crystal Hand Seal had devastated Soul Hall branch halls and blamed Gu Xun'er and the Ancient Clan.

Zi Yan infiltrated the Flower Sect to avenge Qing Xiao, killed four disciples, and captured a wounded elder. The Flower Sect discovered the massacre and began investigating the attacker’s escape.

• Zi Yan entered the Flower Sect’s formation undetected and found a One-star Dou Zun elder with four Dou Zong disciples.
• Zi Yan ambushed the elder with Vast Void Fist, then killed the four disciples with Spatial Strangulation.

• Flower Sect experts arrived and found the scene empty, then followed the scent of blood to the dead disciples.
• The Acting Sect Master blamed the two elders responsible for the outer defenses because they had failed to detect the intruder.

Zi Yan repeatedly ambushed the Flower Sect, killing its members and stealing its herbs while Hua Jin struggled to stop her. The sect’s defenses and morale collapsed, and disciples began fleeing.

• Hua Jin ordered the Flower Sect elders to stay alert and seek stronger defenses after an elder and several disciples were killed.
• Zi Yan ambushed another Flower Sect member, escaped with Storage Rings, and left Hua Jin furious and unable to find her.

• Flower Sect disciples began fleeing after repeated killings left them terrified of being attacked anywhere.

After nearly two months of recovery, Xiao Yan awakened and learned that Yao Chen had survived but fallen into a soul-depleted slumber. Though Gu Xun'er assured him his severe injuries could heal, Xiao Yan discovered the attacker had escaped, leaving him unable to identify the person who nearly killed him.

• Hua Jin's repeated requests persuaded Hua Ze to guard the Flower Sect's protective formation, preventing Zi Yan from sneaking in again.
• Unable to find a way past Hua Ze, Zi Yan abandoned her attacks on the Flower Sect and headed toward Starfall Pavilion in the Southern Region.
• Xiao Yan awakened after nearly two months and asked Gu Xun'er about Yao Chen, who had fallen into slumber after exhausting his Soul Power to save him.
• Gu Xun'er described Xiao Yan's grave injuries, and he examined his shattered bones, severed meridians, and damaged organs before vowing to recover.
• Xiao Yan asked whether Gu Xun'er had caught the person behind the two exploding Dou Zun-level puppets, but she said her guards had been unable to locate the cautious attacker.

While Xiao Yan recovered, a thief raided Starfall Pavilion’s Medicine Mountain, leaving Wind Venerable and Gu Xun’er to blame Lin Feng. In the Void Lightning Pool, Lin Feng continued absorbing the Three Thousand Burning Flame, whose vast accumulated flames proved difficult to consume completely.

• Xiao Yan and Gu Xun’er cursed Lin Feng for his past actions before an explosion sounded from Medicine Mountain.
• Gu Xun’er found a woman escaping Starfall Pavilion with a full Storage Ring, while the Medicine Mountain’s herbs and several pavilion members were left behind.
• Gu Xun’er blamed Lin Feng for the raid, and Wind Venerable vowed to tear him apart.
• After nearly three months of stillness, Lin Feng released a huge purple-brown fire dragon that devoured the surrounding flames.
• The Three Thousand Burning Flame’s accumulated sea of fire remained too vast for Lin Feng to absorb completely, despite his advancement to Dou Zun.

After absorbing Three Thousand Burning Flame for three months, Lin Feng woke and began transferring the remaining flame energy into Dan Chen to help her break through to Dou Zun. The transfer caused her intense pain, and she had to endure it and refine the energy quickly.

• The giant dragon stopped devouring the inexhaustible flames, shrank into a wisp, and entered Lin Feng as he woke from his three-month slumber.

• Lin Feng drew in the surrounding flame energy and transferred it into Dan Chen, warning her that she needed to endure the pain and refine it quickly.
• Dan Chen screamed as the sudden influx of energy began her agonizing breakthrough.

Lin Feng and Dan Chen absorbed the purple-brown flames in the Void Lightning Pool, triggering a heavenly phenomenon as their cultivation advanced. Lin Feng's Flame Mantra underwent a major improvement, while Dan Chen confronted him about pushing their intimacy beyond kissing.

• Lin Feng warned Dan Chen to refine the energy flooding her body, and she used her cultivation method to digest it.
• Lin Feng divided his Soul Power between refining his own energy and sending more energy to Dan Chen from the sea of flames.

• Lin Feng circulated the improved Flame Mantra, which greatly increased his energy absorption, refinement, storage, and recovery.

After Lin Feng finished absorbing the Three Thousand Burning Flame, he took control of Dan Chen’s eight Sky Demon Puppets and prepared to seek a Dou Sheng Relic with her. As he called Zi Yan, a fierce battle was unfolding above the Heavenly Star Mountain Range.

• Dan Chen told Lin Feng that the Sky Demon Puppets were still absorbing energy in the Void Lightning Pool, then checked that all eight had survived.

• Dan Chen agreed to join Lin Feng in searching for the Dou Sheng Relic, and he crushed a Space Jade Slip to call Zi Yan.
