While Lin Feng continued refining pills in the Heaven Tomb, Hun Tiandi trapped Central Continent inside a massive formation and began slaughtering its inhabitants to gather energy for the Emperor Grade Nascent Pill. The slaughter left Zhu Kun and the magical beast clans realizing Hun Tiandi intended to refine a true Emperor-grade Pill and use it to advance to Dou Emperor.

Zhu Kun and the others discussed Hun Tiandi’s plan to refine the Emperor-grade Pill and decided to follow Zhu Kun to the plaza holding the treasure. In the Heaven Tomb, Lin Feng refined two Ninth-grade Golden Cores to reach mid-stage Nine-star Dou Sheng, then began absorbing Dou Di bloodline from the fallen clan experts and the Yan Clan’s millions.

• Zhu Kun rejected Huang Tian’s plan to ambush Hun Tiandi for the Emperor-grade Pill, warning that Hun Tiandi’s strength made the attack too dangerous.

After advancing both of his vortices to the Late-stage Nine-star Dou Sheng realm, Lin Feng prepared Xiao Ling to subdue the captured Nihility Devouring Flame. The two flames began a fierce fight inside the Black Nether Cauldron, leaving Nihility Devouring Flame weakened but the cauldron struggling to endure.

• Lin Feng broke through to the Late-stage Nine-star Dou Sheng realm with both vortices and received Zi Yan's message that her father planned to open the object inside the stone statue.
• Lin Feng chose to stabilize his strength first, then brought out the Black Nether Cauldron containing Nihility Devouring Flame and summoned Xiao Ling.
• Lin Feng released an ice-attributed Ninth-grade Golden Core into the cauldron, where its frost power clashed with and weakened Nihility Devouring Flame.
• Lin Feng sent Xiao Ling into the cauldron to attack the weakened flame, and she transformed into a golden fire dragon and repeatedly bit into it.

• Lin Feng used Reincarnation Devours Heaven and Earth to weaken Nihility Devouring Flame, while Xiao Ling swallowed it and returned to his body.
• Lin Feng and Xiao Ling used the Black Nether Cauldron’s dark energy to suppress Nihility Devouring Flame and force it through the Fen Jue’s meridians.
• Zhu Kun grew impatient while waiting for Lin Feng to appear, but Cai Lin and Zi Yan persuaded him not to open the Ancient Emperor Statue.
• Lin Feng appeared before the group and revealed that the Emperor Grade Nascent Pill could no longer threaten him, leading everyone to conclude that he had reached Half-Emperor strength.
• At the plaza, Lin Feng asked Zhu Kun about Tou She Ancient God, and Zhu Kun described the ancient Dou Emperor’s world-shaking breakthrough.

Lin Feng explained that Tou She Ancient God had been a Heavenly Flame who used Fen Jue to fuse other Heavenly Flames before becoming Dou Di, and revealed that he and Xiao Yan had practiced the same method. He led the gathered experts to Tou She Ancient God's statue to seek its inheritance, where Zhu Kun's attempt to break it sent him flying.

• Zhu Kun recounted that Tou She Ancient God left no known clan or bloodline after becoming Dou Di, puzzling the gathered experts.
• Lin Feng explained that Tou She Ancient God had been the unnamed first Heavenly Flame and that it had devoured and subdued the other Heavenly Flames.
• Zhu Kun suspected that Tou She Ancient God had used a method like Lin Feng's to preserve and fuse the powers of the flames it consumed.
• Lin Feng revealed that he practiced Fen Jue, the same method Tou She Ancient God had found and used, and confirmed that Xiao Yan had practiced it too before Lin Feng killed him.
• Lin Feng said Tou She Ancient God's inheritance lay within the statue and could be accessed by a Half-Emperor or someone using a special method.
• Zhu Kun struck the statue with all his strength, but the impact sent him flying backward.

Zhu Kun failed to damage Tou She Ancient God's stone statue, so Lin Feng proposed using the Heaven Tomb to refine a Nine Palace Emperor Building Pill and open the inheritance with more time. He also prepared an escape plan in case no one in their group inherited Tou She Ancient God's power, leaving them ready to proceed with both plans.

• Zhu Kun's attacks rebounded from the stone statue without harming it, and he admitted he could not open it by force.
• Lin Feng revealed the Nine Palace Emperor Building Pill and explained that it could improve a peak Dou Sheng's chances of advancing to Dou Emperor.

• Lin Feng told the others he would prepare for one month before they opened the Ancient Emperor Inheritance if he had not succeeded.
• Lin Feng reassured Zi Yan after she accused him of hiding the Heaven Tomb from her.
• Lin Feng showed Cai Lin and the others the World-Piercing Awl, Void Boat, and universe map, explaining that they would flee the Dou Qi Continent if none of them received the inheritance.

Lin Feng arranged for his allies and their families to gather in the Heaven Tomb while he began refining a Ninth-grade Golden Core. He then traveled to the ruined Misty Cloud Mountain to ask the remnant soul of the Heavenly Phoenix Clan Leader how to reach Dou Emperor, and the chapter ended with her questioning how the person who swallowed the Emperor Grade Nascent Pill survived its power.

• Lin Feng told Xian'er to bring the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion elders and his allies and their families to the Heaven Tomb, assigning them places on its first and second levels.
• Lin Feng summoned Xiao Ling to form a black-flame cauldron and extract medicinal ingredients for his pill, then left her to continue the work.

• Lin Feng revealed that he and his allies had subdued the Emperor Grade Nascent Pill using a Secret Technique left by Tou She Ancient God, but that his enemy had swallowed it.
• The Heavenly Phoenix Clan Leader asked how the enemy had survived swallowing the Emperor Grade Nascent Pill without preparation.

Lin Feng learned from the Heavenly Phoenix Clan Leader how to advance to Dou Emperor and use the Dragon Phoenix Body, then returned to refine the Nine Palace Emperor Building Pill. After several failed attempts, the pill began condensing, but the Heaven Tomb lacked enough energy, so Lin Feng drew on the outside world to sustain it.

• The Heavenly Phoenix Clan Leader agreed to advise Lin Feng about reaching Dou Emperor and shared guidance on the Dragon Phoenix Body in exchange for his promise to revive her.
• Lin Feng returned to Xiao Ling and took over refining the Nine Palace Emperor Building Pill, but his first attempt failed and destroyed the cauldron.
• Lin Feng and Xiao Ling continued refining the pill through two more attempts, with the first two attempts failing.
• During the third attempt, the pill began forming a nascent pill, but Lin Feng realized the Heaven Tomb could not supply enough energy.
• Lin Feng opened a passage to the outside world and raised the cauldron beyond the Heaven Tomb, where a vast, glowing vortex gathered natural energy for the pill.

Lin Feng broke Medicine Emperor’s seal and infused Source Qi into the Nine Palace Emperor Building Pill, triggering an enormous surge in energy as the pill continued refining. After the energy crystal was consumed, dark clouds gathered over the area, signaling a new disturbance.

• Zhu Kun, Huang Tian, and the others rushed to the Heaven Tomb and realized Lin Feng was refining a Ninth-grade Golden Core.
• Lin Feng drew natural energy from across millions of li into the fire cauldron, feeding it into the pill.
• Lin Feng broke Medicine Emperor’s seal, released the Origin Emperor Qi, and sent it into the pill despite resisting its pull on him.
• Zhu Kun sensed the Origin Emperor Qi, while the pill changed and the energy vortex expanded into a planet-like sphere that compressed excess energy into a crystal.
• After several days, the fire cauldron consumed the energy crystal, and dark clouds covered the sky within a thousand li.

Lin Feng captured the Nine Palace Emperor Building Pill after it absorbed the Nine Profound Golden Lightning, then confirmed to Zhu Kun that he had used Source Qi to refine it. He hinted that a Dou Emperor’s return could make Source Qi obtainable again and asked the gathered Dou Shengs where Source Qi came from, but none of them knew.

• The Nine Palace Emperor Building Pill absorbed the Nine Profound Golden Lightning until the thunderclouds dispersed, then tried to flee.
• Lin Feng stopped the pill, overcame its attacks, and caught it before sealing it in a jade bottle.
• Zhu Kun asked Lin Feng about the Source Qi he had used, and Lin Feng said an ancient Dou Emperor had given him all his Source Qi before dissipating.
• Zhu Kun lamented that he might never obtain Source Qi to break through, so Lin Feng hinted that a returning Dou Emperor could make more Source Qi accessible.
• Lin Feng asked the gathered Dou Shengs where Source Qi came from, but Zhu Kun and the others admitted they did not know.

Lin Feng explained that Origin Emperor Qi had once been abundant on the Dou Qi Continent but was depleted after the realm lost its connection to the Great Thousand World. He revealed that Tou She Ancient God hid the remaining Source Qi in his cave mansion, leaving Zhu Kun and the others furious over how this had blocked future Dou Di breakthroughs.

• Lin Feng explained how Source Qi was once plentiful and why ancient experts had not stored it for their descendants.
• Lin Feng revealed that the Dou Qi Continent was one of many lower worlds beneath the Great Thousand World, and that ancient Dou Di experts had left after an upheaval closed the passage between realms.
• Lin Feng explained that severed replenishment and continued cultivation drained the continent's Source Qi until no one could advance beyond peak Dou Sheng.
• Lin Feng said that Tou She Ancient God had hidden the continent's last Source Qi in his cave mansion instead of restoring the supply from the upper realm.
• Zhu Kun and the others cursed Tou She Ancient God, blaming him for depriving them and their clans of the chance to produce new Dou Di experts.

Lin Feng arranged for the women and children below seven-star Dou Sheng to leave the Dou Qi Continent before the stone statue was opened, while he and four companions stayed to pursue Tou She Ancient God's inheritance. After reassuring his family and concealing the truth about Gu Yuan from Gu Xun'er, he headed out as the appointed time approached.

• Lin Feng rejected the others’ hopes of seizing the Southern Continent’s Ascension Passage because the Tong Ling Sect’s Dou Emperor ancestor controlled it, and he warned that opening a passage to the upper realm might carry risks.
• Lin Feng announced that the seven-star Dou Shengs and stronger would gather at the Heaven Tomb in three days to open the stone statue, then assigned Ying'er, Chen'er, Xin Lan, Yun'er, and Zhao Ran to take the children and weaker women away.
• Lin Feng explained the World-Breaking Cone and Void Boat to his wives and concubines, then spent the following half month in the Heaven Tomb with them.
• As the appointed time neared, Lin Feng told the women to prepare to retreat and sent for Fire Spirit of the Yan Clan, while Zhao Ran and the others expressed their concern about his impending danger.
• Lin Feng promised Gu Xun'er he would avenge Gu Yuan and her clansmen by defeating Hun Tiandi, while hiding the truth about Gu Yuan’s death.
• The Three Beauties of Pill Tower, Yun Yun, and Zhao Ran led the women away, and Lin Feng departed with Xiao Yi Xian, Cai Lin, Zi Yan, and Qing Lin.

Lin Feng and the others gathered at Tou She Ancient God's statue, where Xiao Ling opened the entrance to the inheritance. The radiance chose Lin Feng as the inheritor, leaving him poised to accept the Dou Emperor legacy before Hun Tiandi advanced.

• Zhu Kun, Huang Tian, and the others waited at the plaza and discussed their chances of receiving Tou She Ancient God's inheritance.
• Lin Feng arrived with Xiao Yi Xian, Cai Lin, Zi Yan, and Qing Lin, then summoned Xiao Ling to open the statue.
• Xiao Ling used her Secret Technique to make the statue's chest open and release a radiance that forced everyone except Lin Feng to kneel.
• The radiance withdrew from the others and enveloped Lin Feng, marking him as Tou She Ancient God's chosen inheritor.
• Lin Feng sensed that his Heavenly Flame Dou Qi shared the same origin as Tou She Ancient God's, while Zhu Kun urged him to accept the inheritance before Hun Tiandi advanced.

Lin Feng moved the Ancient Emperor Plaza into the Heaven Tomb to gain more time to prepare for a battle with Hun Tiandi, who was gathering energy to complete the Emperor Grade Nascent Pill. In the far south, another powerful cultivator sensed Hun Tiandi and began rushing to break through to Dou Di, setting off a race among the three.

• Lin Feng promised Zhu Kun and the others help reaching Nine-star Dou Sheng, then moved the Ancient Emperor Plaza and Xiao Ling into the Heaven Tomb while leaving the outside to Cai Lin, Xiao Yi Xian, and the others.
• Hun Tiandi sensed a faint fluctuation to the south and ordered the surviving Four Demon Saints member to investigate without taking action.
• The Four Demon Saints member reported the Soul Clan elders' dissatisfaction, while Hun Tiandi defended his decision to abandon Nihility Devouring Flame and continued maintaining the Spirit Devouring Life-Extinguishing Formation.
• Hun Tiandi resolved to use more bloodline energy, even from the Soul Clan's descendants, if needed to complete the Emperor Grade Nascent Pill and reach Dou Di.
• A weakened cultivator in the extreme south sensed Hun Tiandi's aura, feared what his breakthrough could mean, and resumed absorbing energy to advance to Dou Di first.

Lin Feng entered Tou She Ancient God's statue and met the ancient Dou Di's remnant soul, explaining the state of the continent and his failed attempt to claim the Emperor Grade Nascent Pill. The chapter left Lin Feng facing the crisis of Hun Tiandi's plan to become a Dou Di by draining the continent's people.

• Lin Feng entered the Ancient Emperor Statue's chest and was transported into a sea of Heavenly Flames.
• The flames gathered into a bud that revealed Tou She Ancient God's remnant soul, who greeted Lin Feng and invited him to sit.
• Tou She Ancient God asked whether any Dou Di had appeared after him, and Lin Feng explained that the loss of Source Qi and the closed Ascension Passage had prevented later cultivators from advancing.
• Lin Feng told Tou She Ancient God that a previous Dou Di inheritance had given him a second qi vortex and some Source Qi, but its remnant soul had consumed much of it.
• Lin Feng explained that Nihility Devouring Flame and a peak nine-star Dou Sheng had taken the Emperor Grade Nascent Pill, and that he had captured Nihility Devouring Flame only after losing the cave-dwelling battle.
• Lin Feng reported that Hun Tiandi was using the Spirit Devouring Life Extinguishing Array and Dou God Clan bloodlines to replenish the nascent pill and pursue the Dou Di realm.

Lin Feng received Tou She Ancient God's inheritance, which centered on the Fire Lotus containing the Ancient Emperor's legacy and the power needed to reach the Dou God realm. Though the inheritance caused Lin Feng's body to explode, it began rebuilding him as he held onto the lesson that a steadfast heart could keep him from perishing.

• Lin Feng explained Hun Tiandi's plans to Tou She Ancient God, who agreed that Lin Feng was the most suitable person to inherit his legacy.

• Tou She Ancient God formed a Fire Lotus from his Heavenly Flames and placed it above Lin Feng, telling him that accepting the inheritance required an unwavering heart.
• The Fire Lotus flooded Lin Feng's body with energy; Xiao Ling tried to absorb it but realized the energy remained inside Lin Feng, whose body then exploded.
• Lin Feng comforted the distraught Xiao Ling as his soul endured, and the Fire Lotus rebuilt his body stronger than before.

Lin Feng endured a year of repeated destruction and rebirth before beginning his Dou Emperor advancement, while Hun Tiandi’s formation devastated the Central Continent. As Lin Feng continued cultivating, his children began surging to the high-level Dou Sheng realm, leaving Tian Yan and the Tian Clan bewildered while the women on his ship understood the cause.

• Lin Feng and Xiao Ling repeatedly refined the Fire Lotus Seeds’ energy as his body shattered and re-formed, until a year of cultivation strengthened him enough to attempt advancing to Dou Emperor.
• While Lin Feng remained in seclusion, Hun Tiandi’s Spirit Devouring Life-Extinguishing Formation turned the Central Continent into a wasteland and forced survivors to crowd into small worlds and relics.
• Lin Feng swallowed the Nine Palace Emperor Building Pill and began absorbing the Fire Lotus Seeds’ energy, gradually solidifying a golden phantom behind him.
• In a small world, Xiao Xi’s cultivation surged from nothing to Seven-star Dou Sheng, shocking Tian Yan and the Tian Clan experts who witnessed it.
• Aboard a ship in a dark space, a boy and a girl also soared to Eight-star Dou Sheng, and the women with them recognized that Lin Feng’s impending Dou Emperor breakthrough was strengthening his closest relatives.
