Chapter Summaries

Lu Ye discovered that the Talent Tree could preserve a Supreme Treasure’s power and used the restored Myriad Poison Bead to create a poison far deadlier than before. Blood Calamity confirmed it could threaten a Half-Saint if Lu Ye had enough of it.

• After the Azure Dome Mirror crumbled, Lu Ye preserved its final trace of mystery on the Talent Tree, creating the possibility of growing an Azure Dome Mirror Fruit later.
• Lu Ye examined the Myriad Poison Bead Fruit and learned to perceive and create many kinds of poison through it.
• Lu Ye tested a new fluorescent poison on Blood Calamity, whose strength fell by more than thirty percent as the poison disrupted his blood, vitality, and Dao Force.
• Lu Ye recalled the poison and healed Blood Calamity, who judged that it could threaten a Half-Saint if there was enough of it.

Lu Ye prepared hidden poison with Blood Calamity to weaken Xue Tianxing while cultivating the eighth level of his Inner Realm Secret Technique. When Xue Tianxing planned to enter seclusion to refine a Supreme Treasure, Blood Calamity urged Lu Ye to act quickly and proposed luring him away from Blood Race Territory.

• Lu Ye developed a concealed poison potent enough to affect a Half-Saint, and Blood Calamity secretly administered the first dose to Xue Tianxing.
• Lu Ye told Blood Calamity that Xue Tianxing needed to be poisoned at least three times, so Blood Calamity returned twice more to deliver poison.

• Blood Calamity returned after more than ten days and warned Lu Ye that Xue Tianxing was going into seclusion to refine a Supreme Treasure.
• Blood Calamity proposed luring Xue Tianxing out by asking him for help if Blood Calamity encountered danger.

Lu Ye and Blood Calamity lured Xue Tianxing to Cage Sea with the promise of Uniting Dao Pearl fragments, hoping to strike while he refined a pearl. When Xue Tianxing arrived with Xue Dong and Xue Xiao, he tested the pearl through Xue Xiao before refining one himself, and Lu Ye and Blood Calamity launched their ambush as Lu Ye’s Clone appeared with a Flood-tier Uniting Dao Pearl.

• Lu Ye rejected Blood Calamity’s plan to claim Si Shengya was pursuing him and suggested luring Xue Tianxing with news of Uniting Dao Pearl fragments.
• Lu Ye and Blood Calamity waited at the abyss until Xue Tianxing arrived with Xue Dong and Xue Xiao, then showed him a Yellow-tier Uniting Dao Pearl.

• Blood Calamity fused the fragments into another pearl and offered it to Xue Tianxing, who began refining it.
• Lu Ye and Blood Calamity attacked Xue Tianxing as Lu Ye’s Talent Tree Clone appeared at a Teleportation Spirit Array with a Flood-tier Uniting Dao Pearl.

Lu Ye and Blood Calamity ambushed Xue Tianxing with the help of poison and a Flood-tier Uniting Dao Pearl, killing Xue Dong and Xue Xiao but failing to finish the Half-Saint. Blood Calamity challenged Xue Tianxing directly, and Lu Ye intervened to save him from a devastating strike as the battle continued.

• Lu Ye and Blood Calamity attacked Xue Tianxing while he refined the Uniting Dao Pearl, but Xue Dong and Xue Xiao disrupted their attempt to kill him.

• Lu Ye used Horizon Saber to redirect Xue Tianxing's strike, allowing Blood Calamity to dodge it.

Lu Ye, Blood Calamity, and the Talent Tree Clone fought Xue Tianxing, a poisoned Blood Race Half-Saint, but struggled against his superior Dao Power. Lu Ye set off a chain of Blood Explosion Arts to leave Xue Tianxing exposed, then struck him with a saber carrying the Power of Time and Sequence.

• Lu Ye, his Clone, and Blood Calamity joined forces against Xue Tianxing, who still held the advantage despite his worsening poison.
• Lu Ye triggered the poison in Xue Tianxing's body, disrupting him as the dead Xue Dong and Xue Xiao attacked with the Blood Explosion Art.

• Lu Ye struck Xue Tianxing with a saber carrying the Power of Time and Sequence, freezing the Half-Saint's gaze for an instant.

Lu Ye and Blood Calamity killed Xue Tianxing, but Blood Calamity swallowed Xue Tianxing’s Blood Soul to strengthen himself. After they escaped, Mo Duo, Xue Yuan, and Xue Li investigated the scene and began identifying the other attacker.

• Blood Calamity wounded Xue Tianxing, and Lu Ye used his Crag Mountain Saber to sever Xue Tianxing’s head despite being struck by his staff.
• Xue Tianxing’s Blood Soul tried to flee, but Lu Ye trapped it with the Starry Sky Chessboard, allowing Blood Calamity to capture and swallow it.
• Lu Ye warned Blood Calamity to leave, and the two departed after Lu Ye retrieved the Uniting Dao Pearl.
• A Devil Race Half-Saint named Mo Duo arrived, found traces of the battle, and summoned Xue Yuan and Xue Li.
• Xue Li determined that Xue Tianxing, Xue Dong, and Xue Xiao had died, and identified Blood Calamity and a likely Human Race member as the surviving attackers.
• Xue Yuan suspected that Si Shengya had been the Human Race attacker.

After killing Xue Tianxing, Lu Ye and Blood Calamity raced toward Abyss Island, hoping Saint Qi would protect them from the Blood Race Half-Saints pursuing them. Xue Li struck them with the Blood Spirit Severing Soul Art, but Lu Ye burned away its effect while Blood Calamity narrowly recovered.

• Xue Li told Xue Yuan that a human brought back by Blood Calamity had apparently helped kill Xue Tianxing, and she led Xue Yuan and Mo Duo in pursuit.
• Blood Calamity explained to Lu Ye that they were heading to Abyss Island to seek Saint Qi, whose presence might turn their pursuers away.

• Xue Li used Blood Qi from the battlefield to cast the Blood Spirit Severing Soul Art on Lu Ye and Blood Calamity.
• Lu Ye used the Talent Tree to burn away the attack's effect and caught Blood Calamity as he fell toward the sea.

Lu Ye and Blood Calamity fled onto Abyss Island after Xue Yuan struck them, then tried to stall Xue Yuan and Xue Li by blaming Ba Qiu for Xue Tianxing’s death. Mo Duo revealed that a mysterious Supreme Treasure had been used, and as Xue Yuan attacked, Saint Qi had still not appeared to protect them.

• Xue Yuan’s Blood Dragon blasted Lu Ye and Blood Calamity onto Abyss Island, where the two escaped his pursuit.
• Xue Yuan and Xue Li confronted Blood Calamity, who denied killing Xue Tianxing and presented an image of Ba Qiu as the culprit.
• Blood Calamity and Lu Ye secretly tried to draw Saint Qi while Blood Calamity stalled the two Half-Saints, but Saint Qi did not appear.

• Xue Yuan lost patience and lunged at Blood Calamity and Lu Ye.

Lu Ye’s attempt to escape drew Saint Yi, who was revealed to be Yang Qing, the Dragon Race’s Second Generation Ancestor. Saint Yi’s arrival stopped Xue Yuan and Xue Li from attacking, leaving Blood Calamity safe on Abyss Island as Xue Yuan questioned him about Xue Tianxing’s death.

• Lu Ye used the Power of Time and Space to fend off Xue Yuan, but an unfamiliar presence appeared behind him and halted everyone.
• Xue Yuan, Xue Li, and Mo Duo saluted Saint Yi, whom Lu Ye recognized as Yang Qing, his former guide and the Dragon Race’s Second Generation Ancestor.
• Yang Qing vanished without speaking, and Xue Yuan abandoned his plan to seize Blood Calamity on Abyss Island.
• Xue Yuan softened his tone and urged Blood Calamity to refine Xue Tianxing’s bloodline and eventually become a Half-Saint.
• Xue Yuan asked how Xue Tianxing had died, and Blood Calamity blamed the expert with the Giant Blade before denying knowledge of the Inner Realm’s rumored new Saint.

After surviving the Blood Race Half-Saints, Lu Ye refined Xue Tianxing’s Supreme Treasure to restore the Azure Dome Mirror and continued strengthening himself while Blood Calamity refined Xue Tianxing’s bloodline. They then witnessed a powerful restriction manifest, signaling that Ba Qiu was on the verge of becoming a True Saint, a transformation Lu Ye feared would erase Ba Qiu’s selfhood.

• Xue Yuan and Xue Li left Abyss Island without learning the truth about Xue Tianxing’s death or recovering his Supreme Treasure from Blood Calamity.
• Lu Ye devoured Xue Tianxing’s Supreme Treasure through the Talent Tree, fully restoring the Azure Dome Mirror Fruit and discovering its power could greatly enhance his combat strength.
• Lu Ye inscribed Dao Patterns while Blood Calamity refined Xue Tianxing’s bloodline, and Lu Ye considered the danger of Blood Calamity’s intentions after he grew stronger.
• A chain-like restriction appeared across the sky, and Blood Calamity and Lu Ye recognized that Ba Qiu’s progress toward becoming a True Saint had reached a critical point.
• Lu Ye feared Ba Qiu would lose himself to Abyss’s will, while the restriction grew stronger and began reaching toward the realm where Ba Qiu was.

Ba Qiu gathered the Dao Power of the Inner Realm as he attempted to advance, drawing the Top Ten City Lords and the Dragon Sovereign and Phoenix Lord to watch. As the Star Cloud Giant formed behind him, mysterious chains appeared and began binding it, leaving Ba Qiu and Baxia uneasy.

• Hongtu, Zong Shenliang, Xuan Wuzong, and Gu Mingyue watched Ba Qiu's breakthrough and worried about the danger his increased strength would pose.
• The City Lords discussed Blood Calamity's disappearance after Lu Ye pursued him and the Insect and Blood Races suffered defeat.
• Yang Fengxian and Huang Shiniang arrived and discussed Lu Ye's disappearance and the Primordial Parasol Tree's worsening condition.
• Xiao Qianchen arrived to witness Ba Qiu's breakthrough, while Ni Chiluan remained in Chiluan City with Yuan Xi.
• Ba Qiu's phantom grew into a Star Cloud Giant as the gathered spectators watched the surrounding Dao Power surge.
• Baxia sensed that something was wrong, and black patterns formed into chains that bound the Star Cloud Giant.

Ba Qiu resisted his corruption by severing his chance to advance, and his strike shattered the Void as the Inner and Outer Realms began to merge. As Baxia carried him away, Ba Qiu revealed that Baxia’s fate ended in death and agreed they still had one thing left to do; meanwhile, Lu Ye and Blood Calamity spotted a masked figure marked Four in the Origin Realm.

• Baxia’s roar briefly awakened Ba Qiu as black chains dragged the Star Cloud Giant into an unseen passage.
• Ba Qiu declared that he would rather reject the truth than accept it, then cut off his path to further advancement and shattered the Void with a second strike.

• Phoenix Lord told Dragon Sovereign that Ba Qiu seemed completely corrupted, and Baxia revealed that he had foreseen his own death.
• Ba Qiu and Baxia agreed to do one last thing before Ba Qiu lost his consciousness.
• In the Origin Realm, Lu Ye and Blood Calamity saw a masked figure marked Four standing beneath a Giant Pillar.

Lu Ye and Blood Calamity witnessed eight True Saints awaiting a ninth as a chained Star Cloud Giant was dragged from the heavens, then a saber strike opened a crack between the Origin Realm and the Inner Realm. Lu Ye escaped through the crack under the True Saints’ attacks, while Blood Calamity stayed behind, believing Lu Ye dead and preparing to refine the Tian Xing Bloodline.

• Lu Ye and Blood Calamity found eight True Saints gathered beneath the Giant Pillars, with one pillar vacant.
• Chains dragged a Star Cloud Giant from the heavens before breaking apart along with half its body, and a saber strike split open the sky to reveal the Inner Realm.
• Lu Ye urged Blood Calamity to flee and gave him the Flood-tier Uniting Dao Pearl, but Blood Calamity chose to remain in the Origin Realm.
• Lu Ye rushed toward the crack as the True Saints attacked, and he vanished through it while pitch-black chains bound and weakened the Saints.
• Blood Calamity watched the crack close and the True Saints disappear, then laughed as he decided Lu Ye was dead and resolved to refine the Tian Xing Bloodline.

In a boundless Void, Lu Ye and a young man discovered Abyss’s power embedded in a newly born Cosmic Primordial Embryo and devised ways to contain it. They divided the universe into three layers, sealed its innermost layer, and planted a Seed of the Dao Tree as a possible defense against Abyss.

• Lu Ye met a familiar young man beside a Cosmic Primordial Embryo, who explained that Abyss had embedded its power inside the newborn universe.
• Lu Ye found that Abyss’s power could not be removed without endangering the universe, so he and the young man decided to let it mature until it could be fought.
• The young man used the Nine Heavens Profound Strategy Mirror to suppress Abyss’s power, while explaining that it would break free after corrupting nine powerful cultivators.
• Lu Ye divided the Cosmic Primordial Embryo into three layers, and the young man added restrictions to trap supreme powerhouses in the innermost layer.
• The young man planted a Seed of the Dao Tree in the embryo as a potential means of resisting Abyss.

Lu Ye returned from the Origin Realm grievously injured and learned that Abyss was rejecting him after he became its rebel son. After contacting the Dragon Sovereign, he discovered Ba Qiu had failed to advance and was surrounded by the Inner Realm’s City Lords.

• The young man sent Lu Ye back through the Spiritual Radiance Mass, and Lu Ye was gravely injured as he escaped the Origin Realm.
• Lu Ye recalled that the young man was an ancestor of the Dragon and Phoenix Races and learned that the ancestors had placed chains in the Origin Realm to restrain the True Saints.
• Lu Ye found that Abyss’s malice made it difficult to borrow external Dao Power, though his Inner Realm cultivation method and store of Dao Fish helped limit the impact.
• After several days of recovery, Lu Ye contacted the Dragon Sovereign and asked about Ba Qiu.
• The Dragon Sovereign said Ba Qiu had failed to advance and was in an abnormal condition, while other Inner Realm City Lords gathered around him.

Lu Ye perfected the eighth level of the Small World Secret Technique and learned that Ba Qiu was about to be attacked. He prepared to join the coming battle and traveled to the Hehe Realm.

• Lu Ye asked the Dragon Sovereign to watch over Ba Qiu and inform him if war broke out, but the Dragon Sovereign warned him not to interfere and promised to keep him updated.
• Fu Wei divined a location where he believed Lu Ye was waiting, and You Die gathered Yuan Xi City's Uniting Dao cultivators to respond.
• After more than a month of cultivation, Lu Ye perfected the eighth level of the Small World Secret Technique, raising his base strength by seven thousand Dao force.
• The Dragon Sovereign told Lu Ye that Ba Qiu's pursuers were preparing to attack him, and Lu Ye readied his Dao force reserves and Myriad Poison Bead before traveling to the Hehe Realm.

Lu Ye arrived at One Man City and found Ba Qiu gravely weakened while the Inner Realm’s top powerhouses converged against him. Lu Ye suspected Ba Qiu had deliberately severed his path to advancement, and Zong Shenliang prepared to join the attackers with the Army Stabilizing Banner.

• Lu Ye used Fang’s power to travel to One Man City, where he found Ba Qiu pale, unstable, and wary of him.
• Lu Ye saw the Dragon Sovereign fighting Hongtu, the Phoenix Lord pressing Gu Mingyue, and Baxia battling Xuan Wuzong while Xiao Qianchen kept Zong Shenliang occupied.
• Xuan Wuzong called Ba Qiu a rebellious son abandoned by the Star Abyss Will and offered to spare Baxia if he surrendered.
• Lu Ye concluded that Ba Qiu had likely cut off his own advancement to avoid becoming a puppet, provoking the Star Abyss Will and leaving him too injured to fight.
• Gu Mingyue urged Zong Shenliang to act, and Zong Shenliang produced the Supreme Treasure Army Stabilizing Banner.

Lu Ye arrived at One Man City and saved Baxia from Xuan Wuzong, then fought Xuan Wuzong while the other battles around the city intensified. Xuan Wuzong recognized Lu Ye as a rebel abandoned by the Star Abyss Will and resolved to kill him.

• The Army Stabilizing Banner strengthened Gu Mingyue and Hongtu, while Xuan Wuzong struck down Baxia with the Nine Heavens Thunder Marsh Sword.
• Lu Ye appeared behind Baxia and clashed with Xuan Wuzong, forcing him to withdraw his killing blow.
• Lu Ye resisted Xuan Wuzong's lightning attack with the Heavenly Saint Dragon Guard and escaped a follow-up strike using Horizon Saber.
• The Dragon Sovereign saw Lu Ye fighting Xuan Wuzong and began attacking Hongtu in earnest.
• Lu Ye and Xuan Wuzong fought fiercely, and Xuan Wuzong realized Lu Ye relied on his own strength rather than borrowed power from the Star Abyss.
• Xuan Wuzong concluded that Lu Ye was a rebel like Ba Qiu and transformed his sword into pure lightning to intensify his attack.

Lu Ye continued fighting Xuan Wuzong while Dragon Sovereign and Phoenix Lord battled Hongtu and Gu Mingyue. Yuan Xi City arrived nearby, and Fu Wei revealed an astonishing aura before rushing into the fight, where Xuan Wuzong struck him with his sword.

• Lu Ye struggled against Xuan Wuzong’s sword and thunder power, while Xuan Wuzong was frustrated that he could not land a decisive blow.
• Dragon Sovereign focused on his battle with Hongtu, and Phoenix Lord kept Gu Mingyue suppressed with her spatial ability.
• Yuan Xi City reached the battlefield, and You Die stopped the city at a distance after sensing the danger.
• Fu Wei left Yuan Xi City and rapidly approached the battle with an aura that seemed comparable to the Top Ten City Lords.
• Fu Wei charged between Lu Ye and Xuan Wuzong, and Xuan Wuzong’s sword struck him as both fighters turned to look.

Lu Ye and Fu Wei joined forces against Xuan Wuzong, but Lu Ye found that Yuan Xi City's Uniting Dao Pearl barely amplified his power. Lu Ye turned Xuan Wuzong's lightning strike back with Blood Calamity's Azure Dome Mirror, leaving Xuan Wuzong engulfed in lightning.

• Lu Ye sensed Yuan Xi City nearby, but discovered its Uniting Dao Pearl only increased his strength slightly because the Star Abyss Will restricted him from borrowing power.
• Fu Wei returned to the battle and joined Lu Ye in pressing Xuan Wuzong back with coordinated attacks.
• Xuan Wuzong targeted Fu Wei, but Lu Ye used a mark to switch places with him and met the attack with the Azure Dome Mirror.
• The mirror shattered after reflecting Xuan Wuzong's lightning, and the reflected strike broke through his defenses and engulfed him.
