• Xiao Ting explained that Burning Flame Ancestor’s inheritance had raised his cultivation and taught him techniques, but had not given him the methods he used to kill the Soul Hall Vice Hall Master.

• Fairy Huo Ling crushed a token and summoned Yan Jin, the Flame Clan’s patriarch, to prepare for a possible battle.
• Yan Jin examined Xiao Ting’s strength and praised him and Huo Zhi’s judgment, but Fairy Huo Ling reminded him that he had initially opposed their relationship.

Xiao Ting revealed Hun Tiandi’s plan to use the Spirit-Devouring Life-Extinguishing Array and an Emperor Grade Embryonic Pill to break through to Dou Di. Hun Tiandi admitted the scheme and proposed that the Di Clans cooperate to open Tou She Ancient God’s Cave Mansion and compete for its treasures.

• Xiao Ting disclosed the Hun Clan’s plan to locate Tou She Ancient God’s Cave Mansion, use the Spirit-Devouring Life-Extinguishing Array to empower its Emperor Grade Embryonic Pill, and help Hun Tiandi become Dou Di.
• Hun Tiandi acknowledged his scheme and argued that ordinary people’s lives were a worthy price for his breakthrough.
• Hun Tiandi proposed that the clans gather the Tou She Ancient God Jade and open the cave mansion together, then compete fairly for the Emperor Grade Embryonic Pill and other gains.

Hun Tiandi tried to persuade the Di Clans to gather the Tou She Ancient God Jades and open the Cave Mansion, but Xiao Ting exposed Nihility Devouring Flame’s possession of the Tunling Clan’s bloodline-devouring power. The Di Clan leaders surrounded Hun Tiandi and demanded that he summon Nihility Devouring Flame to verify the accusation.

• Hun Tiandi urged the Di Clans to gamble on Tou She Ancient God’s Cave Mansion and proposed postponing his conflict with Xiao Ting in exchange for the Xiao Tribe’s jade.
• Xiao Ting rejected the proposal unless Hun Tiandi killed Nihility Devouring Flame, then revealed that Nihility Devouring Flame possessed the Tunling Clan’s power.
• Xiao Ting explained that the Tunling Clan had devoured other races’ bloodlines and that Nihility Devouring Flame gained its ability by consuming the clan’s last chief.
• Gu Yuan, Yan Jin, Lei Ying, and the other clan leaders took positions around Hun Tiandi and demanded that he summon Nihility Devouring Flame for verification.

• Hun Tiandi announced open war and used a soul avatar’s self-destruction to distract Gu Yuan as Nihility Devouring Flame attacked Xiao Ting.
• Xiao Ting’s soul body was destroyed, but Nihility Devouring Flame spat out the Purple Heaven Sky Flame, sensing its connection to Tou She Ancient God.
• Xiao Ting revealed that Nihility Devouring Flame had secretly replaced the souls of guardians and clan leaders, and detailed the Hun Clan’s hidden forces.

Xiao Ting brought Zi Yan and the others to Tou She Ancient God's Cave Mansion, where they found the Old Dragon Emperor Zhu Kun trapped in the darkness. Zhu Kun reunited with Zi Yan, who resented being left behind, while Xiao Ting began explaining what had happened to the Ancient Void Dragon clan.

• Xiao Ting led the girls to the gate of Tou She Ancient God's Cave Mansion beneath Jia Nan Academy and illuminated the vast darkness with the Purple Heaven Sky Flame.
• The girls saw the enormous purple-gold creature coiled in the void, and Zi Yan realized it was her father.
• Zhu Kun opened his eyes, recognized Zi Yan, and raised his head to meet her and Xiao Ting.
• Zi Yan refused to greet Zhu Kun and said she felt like a child nobody wanted.
• Zhu Kun anxiously explained that he and Zi Yan's mother had loved her and blamed his imprisonment for their separation.
• Xiao Ting reassured Zhu Kun that Zi Yan was doing well and said Zhu Huo had not intentionally neglected her.

Xiao Ting explained that the Ancient Void Dragon Clan’s division had been a controlled strategy to conceal its strength, while Zhu Kun confirmed Zi Yan’s connection to the seal trapping him. Xiao Ting rejected Zhu Kun’s offer to send Zhu Huo and asked him to personally help secure his safety.

• Zhu Kun reacted jealously to Zi Yan’s closeness with Xiao Ting, but Zi Yan defended Xiao Ting and Zhu Kun shifted to asking who had attacked the Ancient Void Dragon Clan.
• Xiao Ting explained the clan’s split, and Zhu Kun asked whether it had caused major losses or weakened the clan’s standing; the others realized it had not.
• Xiao Ting concluded that the Dragon Islands’ conflict had been a controlled means of hiding the clan’s strength and keeping its members competitive, though outside forces had later exploited the division.
• Zhu Kun explained that Zi Yan’s egg had been drawn to Jia Nan Academy when his attempt to escape Tou She Ancient God’s seal activated his restriction, and he offered Xiao Ting a Life-Bound Reverse Scale to contact Zhu Huo.
• Zhu Kun said Zhu Huo could locate the Tou She Ancient God Jade and free him, but Xiao Ting refused the plan and asked Zhu Kun to act personally to ensure his safety.

Xiao Ting explained why the Hun Clan wanted him dead and why Zhu Huo could not protect him, then rejected Zhu Kun’s guess that he planned to open Tou She Ancient God’s Cave Mansion. He left Zhu Kun wondering what his real plan was.

• Xiao Ting told Zhu Kun that Hun Tiandi regarded him as a threat because he had exposed the Hun Clan’s thousand-year conspiracy.
• Xiao Ting described the Hun Clan’s powerful fighters, including Hun Tiandi and Nihility Devouring Flame, and explained that the clan could overwhelm Zhu Huo.
• Zhu Kun said he could protect Xiao Ting if he stayed in the cave mansion, but admitted Tou She Ancient God’s methods still kept him imprisoned.
• Zhu Kun guessed that Xiao Ting intended to help the Hun Clan obtain the Tou She Ancient God Jade and open the cave mansion so Zhu Kun could escape.
• Xiao Ting said it was not the right time to open Tou She Ancient God’s Cave Mansion.

Xiao Ting persuaded Zhu Kun to delay joining the fight against the Hun Clan until the rival clans had weakened each other, then used a Tou She Ancient God Jade to begin loosening Zhu Kun’s restraints. On Xiao Ting’s eighteenth birthday, he received Flying Body and Tracing Footsteps, a supreme void divine ability among the Thirty-Six Heavenly Dipper Arts.

• Xiao Ting explained that freeing Zhu Kun immediately would make the Ancient Void Dragon Clan too powerful and weaken the alliance against the Hun Clan.
• Zhu Kun agreed to wait until the Hun Clan and the other Di Clans had fought, then join the allied forces when his strength would be welcomed.
• Xiao Ting activated one-eighth of the Tou She Ancient God Jade with Purple Heaven Sky Flame, and Zhu Kun sensed that he could escape in a little over a year.
• Nearly half a year passed, and Xiao Ting celebrated his eighteenth birthday with his women as he awaited a Plane Blessing.
• Xiao Ting received Flying Body and Tracing Footsteps and recognized it as one of the Thirty-Six Heavenly Dipper Arts, a supreme ability for moving through and concealing oneself in the void.

• Xiao Ting accepted the Great Dao Blessing and gained a powerful divine ability that greatly strengthened his ability to escape danger.
• Xiao Ting silently appeared at the entrance to Tou She Ancient God's Cave Mansion while Zhu Kun taught Zi Yan about her bloodline and her mother's past.
• Zi Yan asked Zhu Kun how she could quickly gain Dou Sheng strength so she could help Xiao Ting, and Zhu Kun described the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit.
• Zi Yan wished for a Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit to fall from the sky, and Xiao Ting's voice answered that it might not be impossible.
• Xiao Ting appeared before Zi Yan and Zhu Kun, startling Zhu Kun, who could not detect him with his senses or spatial power.

Xiao Ting demonstrated his mastery of a divine ability that let him merge with the void, impressing Zhu Kun and convincing him that Zi Yan should refine the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit with Xiao Ting’s help. Xiao Ting left the Tou She Ancient God's Cave Mansion to seek opportunities, then discovered a battle between the Hun Clan and a coalition led by the Flame Clan above Jia Nan Academy and fixed his attention on Hun Miesheng.

• Xiao Ting explained his void-merging divine ability to Zhu Kun, who recognized its immense potential but found it too difficult to learn for now.
• Zhu Kun approved of Zi Yan consuming the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit, and Xiao Ting promised to help her refine it with the Purple Heaven Sky Flame.
• Xiao Ting said he would leave the flame behind and departed the Tou She Ancient God's Cave Mansion using his divine ability.
• Xiao Ting arrived above Jia Nan Academy and saw a three-against-three battle between the Hun Clan and a coalition led by the Flame Clan, with the Spirit Clan and Stone Clan joining in.
• Xiao Ting recognized Hun Miesheng in the battle and declared that he had earned his death.

As the Soul-Extermination Alliance fought the Hun Clan, Hun Miesheng emerged to attack its three Dou Shengs and destroy Zixiao City, drawing Xiao Ting out of hiding. Xiao Ting sealed Hun Miesheng inside the Burning Flame Saint Stele, where Hun Miesheng found Hun Qianmo imprisoned and begging him to kill him.

• The Soul-Extermination Alliance gained ground against the Hun Clan after the Hun Clan’s blood-sacrifice plot was exposed, and Dou Shengs clashed across Central Plains.
• Hun Miesheng appeared and sealed the area with the Nihility Devouring Flame, trapping Yue Qingqiu and the other two Alliance Dou Shengs.
• Xiao Ting ambushed Hun Miesheng with a concealed spatial strike and swallowed him into the Burning Flame Saint Stele.
• Hun Miesheng summoned the Spirit-Devouring Blood Blade to find Hun Qianmo and escape the stele.
• Hun Miesheng discovered Hun Qianmo reduced to a suffering soul bound by the Nine Dragons Lightning Gang Flame, and Hun Qianmo begged him to kill him.

Xiao Ting trapped Hun Miesheng alongside Hun Qianmo and defeated the three Two-Star Dou Sheng protecting Jia Nan Academy. After learning about events across the continent, he asked the three elders to keep guarding the Black-Corner Region while he traveled to the Central Plains to attack the Hun Clan.

• Hun Miesheng freed Hun Qianmo from the Nine Dragons Lightning Gang Flame and stepped through a Spatial Passage, only to face the Old Dragon Emperor of the Ancient Void Dragons outside the Burning Flame Saint Stele.
• The Old Dragon Emperor destroyed Hun Miesheng’s body and gravely wounded his soul, and Xiao Ting imprisoned him beside Hun Qianmo inside the Burning Flame Saint Stele.
• Xiao Ting returned to Jia Nan Academy and swiftly burned away the bodies of the three Two-Star Dou Sheng before imprisoning their souls.
• Xiao Ting thanked Yue Qingqiu and the other two elders for protecting Zixiao City and Jia Nan Academy, then asked them to explain the continent’s recent changes.
• Xiao Ting asked the three elders to keep guarding the Black-Corner Region while he headed to the Central Plains to catch the Hun Clan off guard, offering to help them break through their realms afterward.

At the Soul-Extermination Alliance meeting, Yao Dan sought to reduce the Yao Clan’s combat duties after its heavy losses, while Xiao Yan defended Xiao Ting’s contributions against Yao Wangui’s accusations. The meeting ended with Xiao Yan challenging Yao Wangui to count the Xiao Clan’s merits as well.

• After Xiao Ting left for Central Plains, Yue Qingqiu, Shi Poshan, and Yan Liu agreed to remain in Zixiao City and report the events to their clan leaders.
• At the alliance council, Yao Dan said the Yao Clan had suffered the greatest losses and proposed that its members withdraw from combat to handle logistics.
• Yao Jin and the Spirit Clan leader defended the alliance’s rules and Xiao Ting, while the other clan leaders also showed their support for him.
• Yao Wangui accused Xiao Ting of causing trouble and leaving without contributing, prompting Xiao Yan to list Xiao Ting’s victories and services to the Di Clans.
• Yao Wangui dismissed those deeds as self-preservation and invoked Xiao Xuan’s past achievements; Xiao Yan sarcastically offered to count the Xiao Clan’s merits too.

Xiao Ting secured the Ancient Void Dragon Clan’s support for the Soul-Extermination Alliance and represented the Xiao Tribe through Qingyan. He then entered Saint Creation’s Tomb Mansion, discovered that it consisted of three nested tombs, and began investigating its strange contents.

• Yao Wangui threatened Xiao Yan, but Yao Dan stopped him and Yan Jin reported that Xiao Ting had captured Hun Miesheng and the Three Maniacs of the Hun Clan after saving Yan Liu’s group.
• Qingyan arrived as the Ancient Void Dragon Clan’s representative, revealed that the Old Dragon Emperor and the New Dragon Emperor owed Xiao Ting a debt, and declared that he also represented the Xiao Tribe.
• Xiao Ting recalled that he had asked Qingyan to protect the Xiao Tribe after telling him Zhu Kun would soon escape and had found Tou She Ancient God’s Inheritance.
• Xiao Ting used Flying Body and Tracing Footsteps to find Saint Creation’s Tomb Mansion in the Skeleton Mountain Range and entered it.
• Xiao Ting sensed that the Tomb Mansion held three nested tombs and questioned why its inheritance and guardians seemed too weak to match the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit it contained.

Xiao Ting investigated the tomb mansion’s first level and discovered that its Taiji-like spatial arrangement concealed a battlefield and the Yin Yang Dual Flame. After subduing the flame, he learned how Saint Creation had acquired his power and risen to prominence.

• Xiao Ting entered the first level and realized its central entrance concealed a separate burial ground beneath the primeval forest.
• Xiao Ting discovered that the battlefield held the corpses of the Ancient Heavenly Phoenix and Ancient Void Dragon, whose bodies had been used to cultivate the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit on an altar.
• Xiao Ting found two hidden black-and-white spatial nodes in the Demon Beast Barrier and merged them into a Taiji diagram.
• Xiao Ting stepped onto the diagram and entered a world of opposing life and death energies, where he recognized the Yin Yang Dual Flame.
• Xiao Ting subdued and soul-branded the Yin Yang Dual Flame, learning that Saint Creation had been a Yin-Yang Profound Flood Dragon who gained the flame, awakened Ancient Void Dragon bloodline, and rose through the Beast Region.

Xiao Ting mastered the Yin Yang Dual Flame, claimed Saint Creation’s Tomb Mansion and its immense resources, then discovered the Hun Clan was recruiting the Nine Serenity Deep Ground Python Clan. He secretly reached Yao Ming in the Nine Serenity Yellow Spring and offered him a chance to rise.

• Xiao Ting learned how Saint Creation created the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit and the Pill Beast, and joked that Zi Yan was the real cheat.
• After taking control of the Yin Yang Dual Flame and the Yin Yang Diagram, Xiao Ting absorbed Saint Creation’s Tomb Mansion and resolved to combine the flame with his Purple Heaven Sky Flame.
• Xiao Ting returned to the Beast Region and overheard Hun Yan persuading Yao Xiaotian to join the Hun Clan by promising to improve his bloodline.
• Yao Xiaotian accepted the Hun Clan’s offer, while Xiao Ting decided to exploit the alliance and make the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan pay as well.
• Xiao Ting found Yao Ming imprisoned beneath the Nine Serenity Yellow Spring and woke him, telling him his opportunity had arrived.
