• Su Changge and Li Qingshan departed separately, and the Heavenly Abyss Secret Realm sent Li Qingshan to a mountain range on the edge of the Soul Devouring Domain.

Li Qingshan infiltrated the Devouring Devil Sect disguised as Blood Owl, but the sect’s guardian treasure exposed him as soon as he entered. The Heaven-Swallowing Demon Venerable activated the Ten Thousand Devouring Spirit-Swallowing Array and confronted Li Qingshan with the sect’s two vice leaders.

With Heishan and the Mysterious Sky Demon-Suppressing Gourd’s help, Li Qingshan turned the devouring attack against the old devil, sealed him inside the gourd, and captured Heaven-Swallowing Demon Venerable’s Primordial Spirit.

After defeating Blood-Devouring Old Ancestor and Heaven-Swallowing Demon Venerable, Li Qingshan crushed the remaining resistance and looted the Devouring Devil Sect’s treasury. As he prepared to leave, his techniques sensed something unusual in the treasury’s deepest corner, where he found a stone stele.

• Li Qingshan found that the Blood-Colored Stone Stele’s vortex runes swallowed his divine sense and that his storage ring could not contain it.
• Li Qingshan used the Wish-Fulfilling Gourd to absorb the stele, then left the empty treasury.

• The impact sent Li Qingshan flying and left him bleeding, with his blood and qi churning and his internal organs injured.

Li Qingshan rejected the Dark Dharma King’s offer to join the Devil Race and challenged the half-step Void Refinement expert. The Dark Dharma King unleashed his perfected Darkness Artistic Conception, and Li Qingshan struggled to hold it back with his Ten Thousand Magnetic Domain.

He seized the Spear of Annihilation and used the opening to strike the Dark Dharma King with the Mysterious Sky Demon-Suppressing Gourd, leaving the half-step Void Refinement expert injured.

• Li Qingshan fired the Mysterious Sky Demon-Suppressing Gourd's divine light at the Dark Dharma King, piercing his shield and striking his chest.
• The Dark Dharma King suffered a wound from Li Qingshan's attack.

The Ancestor warned that the Eternal Night Devil Palace would likely target the secret realm and the Demon-Extinguishing Alliance next.

• Li Qingshan saw a second Five Elements Ancestor emerge from the Demon-Extinguishing Main Hall, and the two figures merged into one.
• The Five Elements Ancestor explained that his avatars each held seventy percent of his strength and that an avatar had held off the Shadow Dharma King and the Nine Nether Dharma King.

• Li Qingshan thanked the Ancestor for protecting him, and the Ancestor praised his battle against the Dark Dharma King.
• The Five Elements Ancestor predicted that the Eternal Night Devil Palace would target the Heavenly Abyss Secret Realm to destroy the Demon-Extinguishing Alliance.

After learning that Five Elements Ancestor had formed the prototype of a Five Elements Grotto-Heaven but remained short of Void Refinement, Li Qingshan returned to the Ninth Peak to heal and prepare for seclusion. He recovered with Yi Wood Longevity Marrow and handed the Devouring Devil Sect’s resources over to the Demon-Extinguishing Alliance.

• Five Elements Ancestor urged Li Qingshan to grow stronger, revealed that he had begun forming a Five Elements Grotto-Heaven, and warned that the Eternal Night Devil Palace would soon strike with greater force.
• Five Elements Ancestor let Li Qingshan decide how to handle Nalan Yue and told him to investigate her claimed opportunity to reach Void Refinement after recovering.

• Li Qingshan gave Liu Chuande the Devouring Devil Sect’s treasury resources for the alliance and learned that Elder Nangong was recovering while Peak Master Su had already recovered.

Li Qingshan used the Primordial One-Qi Pill to unify his powers and break through to the late stage of Spirit Transformation. As he prepared to stabilize his new realm, the Wish-Fulfilling Gourd revealed its desire to devour the mysterious Blood-Colored Stone Stele.

• Li Qingshan gathered his treasures and decided to consume the Primordial One-Qi Pill to advance his cultivation.
• Over three months, the pill harmonized Li Qingshan's magical power, vital energy, Primordial Spirit, and artistic conception.
• Li Qingshan broke through the bottleneck after seven days of surging power and reached the late stage of Spirit Transformation.
• Li Qingshan assessed his newfound strength and resolved that he could fare far better against the Dark Dharma King in another fight.
• The Wish-Fulfilling Gourd trembled and sent Li Qingshan an urgent desire to devour the Blood-Colored Stone Stele.

Li Qingshan let the Wish-Fulfilling Gourd devour the Blood-Colored Stone Stele, which contained the complete inheritance of the Great Devouring Immortal Art. With the gourd’s help, he fully mastered the immortal art, leaving him with a new power rooted in the laws of devouring.

• Li Qingshan told the Wish-Fulfilling Gourd to devour the stele after it promised to preserve and extract the complete inheritance.
• The Wish-Fulfilling Gourd overcame the stele’s resistance and absorbed it, leaving behind a jade slip containing the Great Devouring Immortal Art.
• Li Qingshan discovered that the immortal art could devour everything from blood and qi to the laws of heaven and earth.
• The Wish-Fulfilling Gourd guided Li Qingshan’s Heavenly Dao Primordial Spirit into its chaotic space and began transmitting the art’s essence.
• Li Qingshan absorbed the inheritance, and the jade slip dissolved after he had fully mastered the Great Devouring Immortal Art.

Li Qingshan tested the Great Devouring Immortal Art granted by the Wish-Fulfilling Gourd, consuming imprisoned Devil Race cultivators to rapidly strengthen himself. After reaching the late-stage peak of Spirit Transformation, he resolved to use three Great Strength Vajra Pills to advance his body further before the coming battle.

• Li Qingshan summoned the Blood-Devouring Old Ancestor from the Mysterious Sky Demon-Suppressing Gourd and devoured him with the Great Devouring Immortal Art.
• The absorbed blood and qi, magical power, Primordial Spirit, and Devouring Artistic Conception strengthened Li Qingshan's body, cultivation, and Primordial Magnetic Heavenly Blade Artistic Conception.
• Li Qingshan ordered Heishan to release the imprisoned Primordial Spirits of the Heaven-Swallowing Demon Venerable, Blood Butcher, Blood Charm, and the other Spirit Transformation cultivators, then devoured them all.
• Li Qingshan's cultivation rose to the late-stage peak of Spirit Transformation, his Primordial Magnetic Heavenly Blade Artistic Conception reached mastery, and his body brushed against a realm beyond the Spirit Transformation limit.
• Li Qingshan judged that he still needed more strength to face the Eternal Night Devil Palace and planned to use three Great Strength Vajra Pills to advance his Black Sky True Demon Body.
