Chapter Summaries

Zhu Kun gave Zi Yan an ancient dragon scale and the Dragon Emperor Armor before she and Lin Feng left to return to the Central Continent. Meanwhile, the Soul Clan’s leaders weighed their next targets and revealed that Nihility Devouring Flame had already planted Fire Seeds in elders of the Stone and Lei Clans.

• Zhu Kun gave Zi Yan a dragon scale from an old battle and the Dragon Emperor Armor, then told her and Lin Feng to attend to their own affairs.
• Zi Yan promised to find a way to free Zhu Kun and left the small world with Lin Feng.
• Lin Feng urged Zi Yan to return directly to the Central Continent rather than visit First Elder Su Qian, and she agreed so they could keep the discovery beneath the Heavenly Flame Refining Qi Tower secret.
• Soul Clan members debated whether to attack the weakened Stone Clan, but rejected the plan because it could push the Lei Clan toward the Ancient Clan and endanger their plan to target the Yao Clan.
• A younger Soul Clan member revealed that Nihility Devouring Flame had planted Fire Seeds in elders of both the Stone and Lei Clans, making them potential targets already.

The Soul Clan planned to target Lin Feng and obtain the Tou She Ancient God Jade while gathering souls for their ambitions. Meanwhile, Lin Feng went to the Void Lightning Pool to refine Human Puppets from the Dragon Kings’ corpses, and began preparing the materials at its depths.

• A Soul Clan alchemist proposed extracting Lin Feng’s Great Perfection of Heaven Realm soul, and the clan members agreed to draw him into a conflict with the Yao Clan while seeking the Lightning and Stone Clans’ Tou She Ancient God Jade.
• Lin Feng told Zi Yan he would gather metal materials from the Ancient Dragon Clan and refine Dou Sheng corpses into Human Puppets in the Void Lightning Pool.
• Zi Yan ordered Hao Yan to escort Lin Feng to the warehouse, then summoned the other Ancient Dragon Clan experts for an urgent discussion.
• Lin Feng collected the finest metal materials and left Dragon Island for the Void Lightning Pool, where the surrounding lightning fled from him.
• Lin Feng reached the pool’s depths, avoided the dangerous Black Demon Lightning, and brought out three Ancient Void Dragon corpses to prepare for refining them into Human Puppets.

Lin Feng began refining the Three Great Dragon Kings into Human Puppets, using their Magic Cores and precious metals to strengthen their bodies. As one corpse awakened with the Western Dragon King’s remnant soul inside, Lin Feng revealed he had been waiting to capture and fuse the soul with the body.

• Lin Feng extracted the Magic Cores from the Three Great Dragon Kings and prepared them with precious metals for puppet refinement.
• Lin Feng summoned Xiao Ling to burn away the corpses’ impurities while he fused metal materials into one body over seven days.
• Lin Feng judged the tempered body’s constitution comparable to that of a Five-star Dou Sheng and weakened Xiao Ling’s flames.
• The Western Dragon King’s remnant soul awakened inside the body, broke Xiao Ling’s fire cauldron, and attacked Lin Feng.
• Lin Feng immobilized the body with his Soul Power and used brass-colored flames to trap the Western Dragon King’s remnant soul.

Lin Feng completed and bonded with the Western Dragon King puppet, then sent it to absorb Black Demon Lightning while he refined the South Dragon King and North Dragon King. With all three puppets evolving in the lightning pool, Lin Feng ate a Soul Washing Fruit and began purifying and condensing his Soul Power.

• Lin Feng finished refining the Western Dragon King into a Human Puppet and established control over it with a drop of blood.
• Lin Feng sent the Western Dragon King into the Black Demon Lightning region, where it absorbed the lightning and strengthened its body.
• Lin Feng and Xiao Ling spent nearly half a month refining the South Dragon King and North Dragon King into Human Puppets, then sent them to absorb lightning as well.
• Lin Feng remembered the Soul Washing Fruits in his Storage Ring and ate one to improve his Soul Power.
• The Soul Washing Fruit's energy swept through Lin Feng's mind for more than ten minutes, stripping impurities from his Soul Power and making it more condensed and pure.

Lin Feng absorbed all twenty-one Soul Washing Fruits while the Three Great Dragon Kings were tempered by the Void Lightning Pool, then used the time to attempt refining a Ninth-grade Treasure Pill. After several failed attempts, he succeeded and summoned Xuan Kongzi’s Human Puppet as black pill clouds gathered overhead.

• Lin Feng reflected on the benefits of the Soul Washing Fruits and absorbed another one, aiming to strengthen his soul toward the Emperor Soul Realm.
• Lin Feng finished absorbing all twenty-one Soul Washing Fruits over half a month and found that the Three Great Dragon Kings had advanced to Four-star Dou Sheng in the lightning pool.
• Lin Feng brought out medicinal herbs from the Golden Core Grandmaster’s Storage Ring and formed a bronze flame cauldron to refine a Ninth-grade Treasure Pill.
• Lin Feng’s cauldron exploded twice during eight days of refining, but he learned from the failures and continued the process.
• Lin Feng’s pill formed into a fire dragon, the cauldron burst, and terrifying black clouds gathered above the lightning pool.
• Lin Feng summoned the Human Puppet he had refined from Xuan Kongzi’s corpse as the pill-refining process reached its climax.

Lin Feng refined a Ninth-grade Treasure Pill and used the Void Lightning Pool’s Black Demon Lightning to advance Xuan Kongzi and the Three Great Dragon Kings. After nearly three months, he left the pool with the Nine Yin Yellow Spring Pill and three Five-star Dou Sheng puppets, heading back to check on his family and the changing continent.

• Lin Feng sent Xuan Kongzi into the Black Demon Lightning, and the Human Puppet advanced from Half-Saint to One-star Dou Sheng before reaching the limit of its evolution.
• Lin Feng caught the intelligent Ninth-grade Treasure Pill that escaped from the exploding fire dragon and sealed it in a jade bottle.
• Lin Feng spent nearly two months refining pills, personally redirecting lightning strikes into the stronger Black Demon Lightning region, and successfully made the Nine Yin Yellow Spring Pill.
• Lin Feng contacted the Three Great Dragon Kings and found that all three had advanced to Five-star Dou Sheng, with the North Dragon King reaching the mid-phase.
• Lin Feng stored the three Dragon King puppets and flew out of the Void Lightning Pool to return to his wives and learn what had happened during his absence.

Xiao Yan and Gu Xun'er attacked Soul Hall's Human Hall in the Corpse Burial Mountain Range, where the Great Heavenly Venerate wounded Xiao Yan before escaping Gu Xun'er's fire array. On Dragon Island, Lin Feng reunited with Cai Lin after she came out of seclusion, and he reflected on how powerful his household had become.

• The Great Heavenly Venerate ambushed Xiao Yan with a bone blade and a Soul Power attack, badly injuring him.
• Gu Xun'er used the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Array to trap the Great Heavenly Venerate, who escaped but was badly burned.
• Xiao Yan entered Soul Hall's Human Hall with Gu Xun'er to investigate its souls and origins.
• Lin Feng found Cai Lin with his other wives on Dragon Island and learned she had come out of seclusion and accepted his relationship with Zhao Ran, while warning him not to fool around again.
• Lin Feng noted that Cai Lin, the Three Beauties of Pill Tower, Qing Lin, Xiao Yi Xian, and Yun Yun had grown stronger, and considered how his household now rivaled major continent powers.

Cai Lin revealed that she had inherited remnant souls and evolved into a Heavenly Devouring Emperor Python, whose immense power came with the ability to devour serpent-type magical beasts. Lin Feng suspected the python clan’s destruction was connected to the Ninth-grade Golden Core Grandmaster and began explaining the contents of the Grandmaster’s Storage Ring to his wives.

• Cai Lin described finding thirty ancestral remnant souls beneath the Nine Netherworld Yellow Spring and said they could lend her power without threatening her.
• Cai Lin revealed that the Nine-colored Raw Stones and other serpent treasures had helped her evolve into a Heavenly Devouring Emperor Python, and she demonstrated its power by devouring Lin Feng’s flame.
• Cai Lin explained that the rare python could devour serpent-type flesh, magical cores, and bloodlines, but that rival clans might hunt one of their own who evolved into it.
• Lin Feng wondered whether the Ninth-grade Golden Core Grandmaster had caused the ancient massacre and the conditions that produced the Heavenly Devouring Embryo.
• Lin Feng said he had many ninth-tier magical cores, prompting his wives to ask where they came from, and he began explaining the contents of the Storage Ring from the ruin.

Lin Feng distributed Spirit Refining Pills and Monster Cores to Cai Lin and discussed the Three Beauties of Pill Tower’s alchemy progress. As he prepared to leave with Qing Lin, he brought out the Golden Core Grandmaster’s remains and noticed a black patch on them.

• Cai Lin grew furious upon learning that the Golden Core Grandmaster had destroyed the Seven-colored Sky Swallowing Python Clan, but Lin Feng and the other women persuaded her to spare his remains.
• Cao Ying, Dan Chen, and Xin Lan said they could refine Ninth-grade Treasure Pills with a success rate of about thirty percent, and Lin Feng proposed continuing their pill-sharing arrangement with the Ancient Dragon Clan.
• Lin Feng gave Cai Lin three Spirit Refining Pills and explained that they could create memory-based illusions to help her understand herself.
• Lin Feng gave Cai Lin Monster Cores taken from experts of the Heavenly Serpent Clan and the Seven-colored Sky Swallowing Python Clan, then prepared to leave with Qing Lin.
• Lin Feng took out the Golden Core Grandmaster’s skeleton and spotted a jet-black patch where a vertebra met a rib.

Lin Feng left Dragon Island after giving Xiao Yi Xian a poisoned skeleton and instructing Hao Yan and the Ancient Void Dragon Clan experts to learn an array that could conceal a small world. He headed with Qing Lin to the Extreme North Land to investigate the Stone Clan and prepare to retaliate, while the chapter outlined the abandoned Spirit Realm and the Ancient Races’ reluctance to claim it.

• Lin Feng gave Xiao Yi Xian the poisoned skeleton of the Golden Core Grandmaster and left Dragon Island carrying Qing Lin.
• Hao Yan and two Five-star Dou Sheng experts agreed to follow Zi Yan’s orders, and Lin Feng gave them an array diagram for hiding a small world.
• The Ancient Void Dragon Clan experts decided to study the array and distribute Cao Ying’s pills to clan members ahead of expected battles.
• Lin Feng told Qing Lin they were heading to the Extreme North Land to use her Fighting Skill to investigate the Stone Clan and prepare sabotage and retaliation.
• Lin Feng and Qing Lin arrived in the Extreme North Land, where the chapter described the Stone Realm’s location and the abandoned Spirit Realm that other Ancient Races were unwilling to claim.

Lin Feng and Qing Lin waited at the Rock Sect for the Stone Clan to collect its resources, then hid in ambush when a Stone Clan member finally arrived. The chapter ended as Qing Lin's soul attack overwhelmed the trapped man.

• Lin Feng explained that the Rock Sect gathered resources for the Stone Clan and said they would wait for the clan's people to arrive.
• After nearly three months without anyone appearing, Lin Feng considered investigating the Stone Realm's northern exit, but sensed someone approaching.
• Lin Feng and Qing Lin vanished into the Void, and Lin Feng concealed the signs of their presence.
• A Stone Clan man arrived and flew into Lin Feng's trap, where spatial control slowed him and Qing Lin's green light suppressed his soul.
• The Stone Clan man realized he was under a soul attack as his thoughts were erased and he lost control of his body.

Lin Feng and Qing Lin controlled a Stone Clan elder and learned about the clan’s forces, recent affairs, and treasure vaults. Lin Feng planned to use the elder’s position to obtain resources while continuing to strengthen his allies and find more Ninth-grade Treasure Pill alchemists.

• Qing Lin struggled to control a Stone Clan Dou Sheng until Lin Feng used the Soul Refining Spirit Suppressing Array to subdue him.
• The controlled elder reported that the Stone Clan was plotting against Lin Feng, had invited the Lei Clan to discuss the Ancient Clan, and was preparing to retaliate against Xiao Yan and the Ancient Clan after their attack on the Soul Hall.
• The elder revealed that the Ancient Clan was backing Gu Qingyang as Young Clan Leader after Gu Xun’er repeatedly favored Xiao Yan over her clan.
• Lin Feng learned that the elder managed ten second-class treasure vaults and asked him to gather valuable cultivation methods, poisons, and powerful beast cores before the next inventory.
• Qing Lin told Lin Feng that Yao Ming had risen to Four-star Dou Sheng and Yao Xiaotian and the First Elder to Three-star Dou Sheng after receiving Treasure Pills.
• Lin Feng decided to seek Zhao as another Ninth-grade Treasure Pill alchemist for his allies.

Lin Feng learned that the Stone Clan’s defenses and crisis plans made its clan-protecting array difficult to sabotage, so he began preparing another way to attack it. After secretly taking valuables from the clan’s tax collection and ordering a controlled Stone Clan Dou Sheng to plant his refined pillars near the array and populated areas, Lin Feng turned to studying a Phoenix clan soundwave Dou Skill while he waited.

• Lin Feng learned that the Stone Clan’s array guards could not leave the Stone Realm and heard how the clan trained and organized its forces to respond to threats.
• The Stone Clan Dou Sheng explained that the Heavenly Gang Stone God Array could summon an energy giant and preserve its operation through several linked smaller arrays.
• Lin Feng ordered Qing Lin to have the controlled elder collect the Stone Clan’s taxes, then spent a month refining materials while Qing Lin studied her Soul Control Art.
• When the elder returned with the collected goods, Lin Feng took many valuables and replaced them with inferior substitutes.
• Lin Feng gave the elder blood-marked stone pillars to bury near the clan-protecting array and areas where Stone Clan descendants and weaker cultivators lived.
• After the elder left to plant the pillars, Lin Feng opened a scroll for the High-tier Heaven Grade Phoenix Cry Hundred Days Dou Skill and began studying it.

Lin Feng obtained a map of the Stone Realm’s protective formation and valuable supplies from Stone Clan agents, then hurried to Zhao Ran after she summoned him. There, he offered her friend Tian Yan two ways to reach the Dou Sheng realm, leaving her to choose between a risky body-replacement technique and powerful Ancient Void Dragon essence blood.

• Qing Lin controlled a Stone Clan Half-Saint who had arrived with the Stone Clan Dou Sheng, and Lin Feng learned the Half-Saint commanded the Ding Battalion of the Clan Martial Army.
• The Half-Saint gave Lin Feng a Stone Realm map marking five parts of the Heavenly Gang Stone God Array and the ancestral shrine where the Tou She Ancient God Jade was kept.
• Lin Feng received the requested treasures from the Stone Clan Dou Sheng, ordered both Stone Clan agents to investigate a black key, and returned with Qing Lin.
• Lin Feng sensed that Zhao Ran had crushed her Space Jade Slip, gave the Stone Clan Storage Ring to Qing Lin, and rushed to meet Zhao Ran at a vast medicinal-herb farm.
• Zhao Ran introduced Lin Feng to her friend Tian Yan, who had been waiting for his help to reach the Dou Sheng realm.
• Lin Feng offered Tian Yan a risky secret technique requiring replacement bones or essence blood from an Eight-star Dou Sheng Ancient Void Dragon, and Tian Yan struggled to choose.

Lin Feng negotiated with Tian Yan to use a powerful Dou Sheng skeleton, rare essence blood, and pills in a resurrection method in exchange for the Tian Clan’s medicinal herbs and a century of herb cultivation. Tian Yan accepted, and she left to retrieve the required herbs while Lin Feng gave Zhao Ran cultivation materials and a Ninth-grade Treasure Pill.

• Tian Yan weighed Lin Feng’s resurrection method against using Ancient Void Dragon essence blood, then asked about the female Dou Sheng bodies he could provide.
• Lin Feng revealed the body of Wu Chunsheng’s mistress, and Tian Yan rejected it after learning of the woman’s promiscuous past.
• Lin Feng offered a Peak Four-star Dou Sheng skeleton, powerful essence blood, a Ninth-grade Treasure Pill, and other benefits in return for the Tian Clan’s Pill Control Method, herbs, and a hundred years of cultivation work.
• After Lin Feng raised his offer and promised Tian Yan could reach at least Three-star Dou Sheng, she accepted the deal and went to gather the required herbs.
• Lin Feng gave Zhao Ran mid-tier Heaven Grade cultivation materials and a Ninth-grade Treasure Pill, and she invited him to visit her in the Tian Clan’s guest quarters.

Lin Feng taught Zhao Ran to refine a Ninth-grade Treasure Pill, and she succeeded before secretly adding potent powders to the pill intended for Tian Yan. As Lin Feng began Tian Yan’s revival, he learned that Soul Hall was escalating its attacks and that factions across the continent were being forced into alliances.

• Tian Yan gave Lin Feng the herbs he needed, and he traveled with Zhao Ran to a secluded valley to refine the pill and teach her alchemy.
• After Lin Feng’s guidance and a failed attempt, Zhao Ran refined a Ninth-grade Treasure Pill and offered it to Tian Yan as a gift, secretly adding ten doses of unknown powders.
• Tian Yan told Lin Feng that Soul Hall was hunting Soul Bodies, attacking Pill Tower, and driving factions to choose between the Ancient Clan and Soul Clan alliances.
• Lin Feng revealed that he had killed several Dou Sheng in a battle against the Ancient, Flame, and Medicine Clans, then learned that Treasure Appraisal Mountain wanted to pledge allegiance to him.
• Zhao Ran handed Lin Feng Tian Yan’s pill and fled toward Pill Tower, while Lin Feng took Tian Yan to a sealed valley to begin her revival.
• Tian Yan left her body, and Lin Feng transferred her flesh to a powerful skeleton, infused it with Ancient Void Dragon essence blood, and began the next stage of the process.

Lin Feng left Tian Yan’s revival in Xiao Ling’s hands and negotiated Treasure Appraisal Mountain’s protection in exchange for the Black Nether Cauldron and the Bloodthirsty Spirit Transformation Array. He returned to find Tian Yan’s revival had gone awry, then emerged nearly three months later as she chased after Zhao Ran in a rage.

• Lin Feng entrusted Xiao Ling with maintaining the flames while Tian Yan endured the final stage of her revival, then went to meet the yellow-robed elder from Treasure Appraisal Mountain.
• Lin Feng rejected the elder’s offer of service alone, but agreed to protect Treasure Appraisal Mountain until the Soul Clan and Ancient Clan Alliance conflict ended in exchange for the Bloodthirsty Spirit Transformation Array and the Black Nether Cauldron.
• Lin Feng gave the elder a written agreement, Space Jade Slips, and a flag bearing his Soul Pressure, then returned to the valley.
• Xiao Ling told Lin Feng that Tian Yan had seemed to go mad during the revival and had grabbed her, so Lin Feng rushed into the seal to check on Tian Yan.
• Tian Yan’s aphrodisiac-induced desire overwhelmed Lin Feng, and he remained inside the seal with her for nearly three months.
• Tian Yan finally broke out of the seal, blamed Zhao Ran for the aphrodisiac, and vowed to kill him.

Lin Feng returned toward the Ancient Void Dragon Clan with Xiao Ling as Xiao Yan completed the Cold Extreme Devouring Flame Pill and prepared for the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame. The Ancient Clan was waiting to see whether Xiao Yan survived the coming trial before deciding how to handle his relationship with Gu Xun'er.

• Lin Feng left the valley with Xiao Ling after explaining that Tian Yan had accidentally struck her with a Spatial Seal fragment.
• Xiao Yan and Yao Chen completed the Ninth-grade Treasure Pill, the Cold Extreme Devouring Flame Pill, after years of effort.
• Xiao Yan destroyed the pill’s incoming Black Demon Lightning with his Flame Splitting Wave Ruler.
• Yao Chen told Han Shanshan that Xiao Yan had no more than a thirty percent chance of subduing the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame, which would emerge in three months.
• Yao Chen speculated that the Ancient Clan had delayed answering Xiao Yan and Gu Xun'er's matter until they knew whether Xiao Yan survived the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame.

Lin Feng returned to Dragon Island, learned that his companions were advancing their cultivation and alchemy, and entered seclusion to use Ninth-grade Treasure Pills. After breaking through to the late stage of the Five-star Dou Sheng, he appeared in the Beast Region as signs of the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame’s arrival filled the sky.

• Lin Feng reunited with Yun Yun and Qing Lin on Dragon Island and learned that the others were cultivating or refining pills, while Ying'er and Chen'er had reached Great Perfection of Heaven Realm souls.
• Lin Feng gave Qing Lin books about refining Ninth-grade Mysterious Pills, arranged for Yun Yun to accompany him to the Demon Fire Space, and sent instructions to collect herbs from the Tian Clan.
• Lin Feng said he would enter seclusion to improve his strength and swallowed a Ninth-grade Treasure Pill in the void.
• As factions across the Central Continent prepared for the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame, Lin Feng spent over two months in seclusion and advanced to the late stage of the Five-star Dou Sheng after taking two Treasure Pills.
• Lin Feng appeared on a mountain in the Beast Region as two crescent moons emerged in the western sky and nine stars aligned in a straight line.

Lin Feng and Yun Yun traveled west as the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame descended, joining a gathering of powerful Central Continent factions outside the newly formed Demon Fire Space. Soul Hall, the ancient clans, and the Yan and Yao Clans assembled, while Lin Feng watched for an opportunity to claim the flame and its power.

• Lin Feng summoned Yun Yun after the twin moons and nine aligned stars heralded the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame’s appearance, and they set out west as experts across the Central Continent rushed toward it.
• Lin Feng and Yun Yun reached the shattered Demon Fire Space, where the flame’s heat had turned a vast mountain range into a milky-white desert and drawn a huge crowd of cultivators.
• Hun Miesheng arrived with Soul Hall’s forces, confronted Xiao Yan, and taunted him about his captive family before Lei Clan and Stone Clan members mocked him over his imprisonment.
• Lin Feng sensed Xiao Yan’s Great Perfection Heaven Realm soul and a child flame of the Nihility Devouring Flame within Hun Feng, and considered taking the child flame.
• Huo Xuan arrived with Yan Clan and Yao Clan experts, including Yao Tian and Yao Ling, and Xiao Yan greeted them before the Yao Clan members coldly dismissed him.
