Chapter Summaries

Lu Ye used a Red Talisman to strengthen Three Realms Island’s Protective Grand Array while its cultivators evacuated, then prepared to escape into the Myriad Phenomena Sea as Yuan Du and Black Cloud broke through. Ma Bin arrived at the last moment and attacked the two Sunlight Realm cultivators, leaving Yuan Du stunned by the appearance of the Azure Demon King.

• Lu Ye ordered He Baichuan and the other cultivators to evacuate through the gateway to Mermaid Territory as Yuan Du and Black Cloud attacked the island’s array.
• Lu Ye merged his Red Talisman with the Protective Grand Array to buy time for the evacuation.
• With the array close to breaking, Lu Ye went to a cliff and prepared to leap into the Myriad Phenomena Sea rather than risk the distant gateway.
• Ma Bin learned that Lu Ye had stayed behind and, unable to wait any longer, crossed the gateway back to Three Realms Island.
• The Protective Grand Array shattered as Yuan Du and Black Cloud lunged at Lu Ye, but Ma Bin appeared and enveloped them in his surging Magic Power.
• Yuan Du recognized Ma Bin as the Azure Demon King and realized the sudden arrival had turned the situation against him.

Yuan Du and Black Cloud attacked Three Realms Island, but Ma Bin and the island’s newly advanced Sunlight Realm cultivators fought back. As Lu Ye watched the battle unfold, Hua Ci awakened from her sealed cultivation and stepped through the portal.

• Ma Bin struck Yuan Du aside and fought Black Cloud, while Yuan Du realized Ma Bin was injured and attacked Lu Ye again.
• Luan Xiao'e and Yan Miao emerged from the portal and joined forces to intercept Yuan Du, astonishing the watching cultivators.
• Zhao Yunqi quietly fled as Lu Ye considered that Three Realms Island might need to leave the Myriad Phenomena Sea after the battle.
• Hua Ci awakened inside the shattered Amber, having broken her seal early because Lu Ye was in trouble, and emerged with her transformed golden toad.
• Shui Yuan greeted Hua Ci at the portal, but Hua Ci gave her an unfamiliar, unreadable look and walked toward the portal.

Yaya broke the seals on her Jade Bracelets and regained her adult form and Sunlight power, then joined Luan Xiao'e and Yan Miao against Yuan Du. She sent Yuan Du plunging into the Myriad Phenomena Sea, while Lu Ye realized he was about to lose the daughter he had raised.

• Hua Ci returned to Three Realms Island through a portal, and Yaya disappeared from Shui Yuan's side.
• Lu Ye sensed four Myriad Phenomena Sea guardians approaching and urged Ma Bin, Luan Xiao'e, and Yan Miao to escape before they arrived.
• Yaya told Lu Ye they had to part ways, then rushed into Yuan Du's battle against Luan Xiao'e and Yan Miao.
• Yuan Du struck Yaya aside, but she shattered her Jade Bracelets and transformed into a powerful, adult Sunlight.
• Yaya joined the fight and knocked Yuan Du into the Myriad Phenomena Sea, leaving Luan Xiao'e and Yan Miao stunned by her transformation.

Yaya revealed her Sunlight strength to save Lu Ye, then fled after two powerful Sunlights emerged from a teleportation array and called her their Saintess. Yuan Du, weakened and poisoned by the Myriad Phenomena Sea, attacked Lu Ye but was beaten down by Luan Xiao'e and Yan Miao.

• Yaya warned Lu Ye to stay alive until she could catch him, then hurried away as a teleportation array appeared where she had unsealed herself.
• A Bone Race Sunlight and a Demon Race Sunlight emerged from the array; the Demon Race cultivator tracked Yaya's lingering aura, called her their Saintess, and pursued her.
• Lu Ye realized Yaya had unsealed herself to save him and planned to withdraw from the chaotic Myriad Phenomena Sea.
• Yuan Du emerged from the sea weakened by its corrosive waters and charged at Lu Ye, blaming him for his downfall.
• Luan Xiao'e and Yan Miao attacked Yuan Du together, crushing him into the ground and leaving him barely alive.

As the Great Sun Realm Guardians overwhelmed Three Realms Island, Hua Ci suddenly returned and used the ancient coin’s power to imprison Gu Xi, giving Lu Ye a chance to reconsider advancing to the Sunlight Realm. Chen Xuanba confronted Hua Ci, uncertain how someone with Moon Jade Realm cultivation had restrained a Sunlight Realm cultivator.

• Four Great Sun Realm Guardians arrived, with one joining Black Cloud against Ma Bin, one tending to Yuan Du, and two moving to capture Lu Ye.
• Luan Xiao'e and Yan Miao intercepted the two Guardians, but Gu Xi quickly broke free and attacked Lu Ye with a divine sense strike.
• Hua Ci appeared on Three Realms Island and used golden light from the ancient coin to bind Gu Xi and knock him to the ground.
• Lu Ye realized Hua Ci’s return might let him advance to the Sunlight Realm without the regrets he had feared.
• After discovering Yuan Du’s grave injuries, Chen Xuanba saw Gu Xi imprisoned and challenged Hua Ci.

Lu Ye used Hua Ci’s golden light and Blood Sea to defeat the Sunlight Realm attackers on Three Realms Island, then devoured Gu Xi and Yuan Du to strengthen himself. He turned toward the immobilized Chen Xuanba, still seeking enough power to perfect his Magic Source.

• Golden light sealed Chen Xuanba’s Magic Power and sent him crashing down, while Mu Qing held back against Luan Xiao'e and Yan Miao after seeing what happened.
• Lu Ye confronted Gu Xi inside the Blood Sea, resisted his Soul Secret Technique with the Seven-Colored Divine Lotus, and devoured him with the Talent Tree.
• After discovering that devouring Gu Xi had not perfected his Magic Source, Lu Ye enveloped Yuan Du and Chen Xuanba in the Blood Sea.
• Lu Ye rebuked Yuan Du for targeting Three Realms Island, slapped him, and devoured him until he died.
• Lu Ye realized Yuan Du was already dead, then turned to the terrified Chen Xuanba and told him not to be afraid.

Lu Ye devoured Chen Xuanba and Yuan Cheng, then consumed the Moon Jade Realm cultivators who entered his Blood Sea, bringing his Magic Source close to perfection. The growing black fruit on his Talent Tree nearly overwhelmed his judgment, but a sudden inner change restored his awareness and left him determined to stop devouring.

• Yuan Cheng led more than a hundred Moon Jade Realm cultivators into Lu Ye's Blood Sea to rescue Yuan Du and attack Lu Ye.
• Lu Ye discovered that devouring three Sunlights had caused a black fruit to form on his Talent Tree, and sensed it could twist his temperament when ripe.
• Lu Ye killed Yuan Cheng and devoured him, finding that weaker Moon Jade Realm cultivators provided less benefit than Sunlights.
• Lu Ye hunted and devoured the cultivators trapped in the Blood Sea as their attacks gradually failed to break it.
• After the Blood Sea held no living creatures, Lu Ye realized his urge to devour everything had overtaken him and saw that the black fruit had grown nearly ripe.
• Lu Ye regained his senses after an unexplained change within him and resolved not to devour anyone else.

Lu Ye condensed his Qi Flower and advanced to the Great Sun Realm, then unsealed another layer of the Crag Mountain Saber. When he emerged from the Blood Sea, he found Three Realms Island’s commercial district in chaos and Hua Ci missing, but she soon appeared from the waters of the Myriad Phenomena Sea.

• Lu Ye condensed his Qi Flower, reached the peak of the Moonlight Realm, and broke through to the Great Sun Realm.
• Lu Ye underwent a powerful transformation in his Magic Power, physical strength, and Divine Soul, and recognized that the black fruit on the Talent Tree was affecting his temperament.
• Lu Ye used his Magic Power and Divine Sense to remove another seal from the Crag Mountain Saber, making it sharper and tougher.
• Lu Ye withdrew the Blood Sea and emerged, ready to join Ma Bin, Luan Xiao'e, and Yan Miao against the remaining Great Sun Realm cultivators.
• Lu Ye saw that the commercial district was engulfed in violence and looting, realized Hua Ci was missing, and sent her a message.
• Hua Ci appeared from the waters of the Myriad Phenomena Sea as Lu Ye looked for her.

After Lu Ye advanced to Sunlight, he learned that Yaya’s escape had opened the way for Formless Palace to invade the Myriad Phenomena Sea. As Formless Palace plundered Three Realms Island, Lu Ye resolved to defend his home and struck down the raiders.

• Hua Ci told Lu Ye that she had lost many of her memories, though she felt he was familiar and important; Lu Ye confirmed she was healthy and had reached Moonlight Realm Late Stage.
• Hua Ci explained that Formless Palace had poured through a gateway after Yaya fled, launching a large-scale invasion and throwing the Myriad Phenomena Sea into chaos.
• Lu Ye considered how the invasion could undermine the Myriad Phenomena Star System and decided Three Realms cultivators should not abandon Three Realms Island.
• Lu Ye took Hua Ci with him to Three Realms Island, where Formless Palace cultivators were looting shops under the command of two Moon Jades.
• Lu Ye unleashed blood arrows from above, killing the Formless Palace raiders, including both Moon Jades.

Lu Ye and Hua Ci left Three Realms Island after Lu Ye defeated the Formless Palace attackers and headed toward Luan Xiao'e and Yan Miao. They joined the battle and, with Little Melon's golden light sealing two enemy Sunlight Realm cultivators, Lu Ye cut them down.

• Lu Ye quelled the slaughter on Three Realms Island, then left with Hua Ci to find Luan Xiao'e and Yan Miao.
• Hua Ci told Lu Ye that Little Melon could fire two beams of golden light after absorbing Myriad Phenomena Sea water or spiritual energy.
• Lu Ye found Luan Xiao'e, Yan Miao, and Mu Qing fighting Sunlight Realm cultivators from the Three-Eyed Race and Insect Race.
• Mu Qing reflected the Three-Eyed Race cultivator's Mystic Light with her treasure mirror, saving Luan Xiao'e from being struck.
• Lu Ye charged the Three-Eyed Race cultivator as Little Melon sealed him with golden light, then sealed the Insect Race cultivator as he rushed to help.
• Lu Ye killed both fallen opponents with his saber, leaving Mu Qing stunned.

Lu Ye killed Formless Palace’s Sunlight Realm attackers at Five Colors Island and searched for Mang Dang amid the invasion. He learned Mang Dang had evacuated to Myriad Phenomena Island, while many cultivators who stayed behind had been slaughtered.

• Lu Ye killed the Insect Race and Three-Eyed Race Sunlight Realm cultivators, and Mu Qing fled.
• Luan Xiao'e and Yan Miao went to defend Four Directions Island while Lu Ye carried Hua Ci toward Five Colors Island.
• Lu Ye found Formless Palace attacking Five Colors Island and killed its brawny Sunlight Realm leader by sealing his powers and throwing him into the sea.
• Lu Ye spread his Blood Sea across Five Colors Island and sent his Treasure Blood Clones to search for Mang Dang.
• Lu Ye learned Mang Dang had led many cultivators to seek refuge on Myriad Phenomena Island before Formless Palace arrived.

Lu Ye learned that Formless Palace had seized Myriad Phenomena Island and that the native Sunlights were gathering to confront the invaders. After the clash subsided, he found Mang Dang and the survivors from Five Colors Island sheltering on a nearby reef island.

• Lu Ye left Four Directions Island in Luan Xiao'e and Yan Miao’s care and flew toward Myriad Phenomena Island, where Formless Palace had breached the defenses and plundered the island.
• Shang Chengyue told Absolute Blade that Heavenly Eye, Ma Zhuo, and Kui Shan had died, then ordered Formless Palace’s forces to gather and prepare to leave.

As Formless Palace prepared to withdraw from Myriad Phenomena Island, Yuan Se challenged Shang Chengyue to a wagered battle to decide whether they could leave. Yuan Se unleashed the Fire Gourd, whose tiny Fire Serpent relentlessly pursued Shang Chengyue, while Lu Ye sensed that its fire could benefit his Talent Tree.

• Mang Dang told Lu Ye that Yuan Se was Yuan Du's clan uncle and master, then identified the other Sunlights gathered with the local star system.
• Yuan Se challenged Shang Chengyue to wager the lives of Formless Palace cultivators below Sunlight, offering to let them leave if he lost and threatening bloodshed if he won.
• Shang Chengyue accepted and charged Yuan Se, who revealed the Fire Gourd and released a tiny Fire Serpent.
• Lu Ye recognized the gourd as a treasure born from the Creation Vine and sensed that the Talent Tree yearned for the Fire Serpent.
• The Fire Serpent melted Shang Chengyue's white-light attacks and pursued him as he dodged, while Yuan Se concentrated on controlling the attack.

Shang Chengyue defeated Yuan Se in their contest by forcing him to withdraw the Fire Gourd rather than risk being destroyed by Heavenly Pivot Sword Qi. As the Formless Palace prepared to leave, Lu Ye arrived and declared that they could go but their things would stay, prompting Shang Chengyue to send Ying to kill him; golden light flashed as she charged.

• Yuan Se used the Fire Gourd's Mystic Fire to corner Shang Chengyue, who revealed Heavenly Pivot Sword Qi and threatened to destroy both sides.
• Yuan Se recalled the Mystic Fire to protect himself and the other five Sunlight Realm cultivators, conceding Shang Chengyue's victory.
• Shang Chengyue mocked Yuan Se and prepared to take the Formless Palace cultivators through a Formation back home.
• Lu Ye arrived with a golden toad and declared, “People may leave, but the things stay!”
• Shang Chengyue ordered Ying to kill Lu Ye, and golden light flashed from Lu Ye's arms as she charged.

Lu Ye questioned Shang Chengyue about why Formless Palace was hunting Yaya, then refused to release Ying without the plundered goods. When Formless Palace attacked, Lu Ye resisted their Divine Soul assault and killed Ying, while Absolute Blade approached and then retreated.

• Lu Ye seized Ying with the golden light, held his saber to her neck, and asked Shang Chengyue why Formless Palace was hunting Yaya.
• Shang Chengyue said Yaya could remain Saintess if she admitted her mistakes, but implied Formless Palace would not spare her otherwise.
• Lu Ye demanded that Formless Palace leave its plunder behind and severed Ying's arm when Shang Chengyue threatened him.
• Shang Chengyue ordered his Sunlights to kill Lu Ye, while Yuan Se warned Mu Qing not to join the fight.
• Formless Palace's Sunlights attacked Lu Ye's Divine Soul, but Lu Ye endured the assault and beheaded Ying as Absolute Blade closed in and then retreated.

Lu Ye killed another Formless Palace Sunlight and demanded that Shang Chengyue leave the plundered supplies behind, while Yuan Se joined Lu Ye’s side. Ma Bin returned with Black Cloud’s head, and the confrontation with Formless Palace remained unresolved.

• Lu Ye captured a burly Formless Palace Sunlight with golden light, then killed him despite using him as a hostage.
• Shang Chengyue suspected Lu Ye had killed Ma Zhuo and Kui Shan and hesitated to attack because he feared Lu Ye could unleash the golden light again.
• Yuan Se declared that Myriad Phenomena supported Lu Ye, shifting the balance against Formless Palace.
• Ma Bin arrived carrying Black Cloud’s head and tossed it to Lu Ye, who crushed it.
• Lu Ye told Ma Bin that Formless Palace had invaded and plundered the Myriad Phenomena Sea, and Ma Bin confirmed that Lu Ye was unharmed.

Lu Ye forced Formless Palace to surrender its looted supplies and retreat, then faced an attack from Yuan Se and the Myriad Phenomena Sea cultivators. He escaped by diving into the corrosive sea, leaving Yuan Se uncertain whether Lu Ye could survive it.

• Shang Chengyue ordered Formless Palace to surrender its looted Storage Rings, and Lu Ye made him and the other Sunlight Realm cultivators give up their own rings as well.
• Lu Ye allowed Formless Palace to withdraw after warning its Palace Master not to return, and Shang Chengyue led the cultivators through the gateway.
• As soon as Formless Palace left, Yuan Se and four other cultivators attacked Ma Bin while Yuan Se and Yan Guyi moved against Lu Ye.
• Lu Ye told Yuan Se to wait for him and plunged into the Myriad Phenomena Sea, leaving Yuan Se and Yan Guyi stunned.

Lu Ye used a surprise attack to drive off the Myriad Phenomena Star System’s Sunlights and emerged as the strongest figure in the Myriad Phenomena Sea. He gathered the Sunlights of Three Realms Island and declared that all Spirit Islands would fall under its jurisdiction, giving those who refused two months to leave.

• Ma Bin lured the six pursuing Sunlights back toward Myriad Phenomena Island while Lu Ye surfaced from the sea and struck Yuan Se with golden light.
• Yan Guyi rescued the immobilized Yuan Se, and the remaining Sunlights fled as Lu Ye pursued them without catching up.
• Lu Ye reunited with Ma Bin, Luan Xiao'e, and Yan Miao while cultivators across the Myriad Phenomena Sea watched.
• Lu Ye reflected on his struggles to establish Three Realms Island and decided to set the rules for the Myriad Phenomena Sea himself.
• Lu Ye declared that all Spirit Islands would fall under Three Realms Island’s jurisdiction and gave those who refused two months to withdraw.

After defeating Formless Palace, Lu Ye declared Three Realms Island’s rule over the Myriad Phenomena Sea and promised to return the plundered supplies. Back on Three Realms Island, he guarded the recovering Ma Bin and confronted the dangerous black fruit growing on his Talent Tree, fearing it would corrupt him like Chao Nian.

• Mo Wenli and the other native Great Sun Realm cultivators turned back, but Yuan Se ordered Nine Radiance recalled to deal with Lu Ye’s takeover.
• Lu Ye announced that Three Realms Island would hold Formless Palace’s plunder and return each Spirit Island’s losses, then required visiting Great Sun Realm cultivators to register with Three Realms Island.
• Lu Ye returned to Three Realms Island with his companions, while news spread that the native star system had lost control of the Myriad Phenomena Sea and that Lu Ye wielded a powerful Golden Light Treasure.
• Ma Bin entered the Spirit Jade Vein to recover, and Lu Ye sent Yan Miao to retrieve the Azure Conch and bring news of the takeover to the island’s cultivators.
• Lu Ye asked Luan Xiao'e to protect Hua Ci, then guarded the entrance to the Spirit Jade Vein while examining the black fruit on his Talent Tree and worrying that it could make him lose control.

Lu Ye discovered that forming a Talent Tree Clone could split away part of the mysterious black fruit affecting his temperament, but he cautiously tested Treasure Blood Clones instead. As Three Realms Island’s cultivators returned, he prepared to honor his promise to return the other Spirit Islands’ supplies and consolidate the island’s new rule over the Myriad Phenomena Sea.

• Lu Ye found that creating a Talent Tree Clone reduced the black fruit, but he chose not to destroy the clone because he feared damaging the Talent Tree.
• Lu Ye tried forming Treasure Blood Clones to divide the black fruit, but the fruit did not change, and he continued experimenting until Luan Xiao'e called him.
• Luan Xiao'e told Lu Ye that Three Realms Island’s cultivators had returned and that the deadline for the other Spirit Islands to reclaim their supplies was one day away.
• Lu Ye handed over the Storage Rings and asked the cultivators to inventory the supplies for the next day’s handover.
• Tang Jun explained that returning the supplies would win support for Three Realms Island, while the Myriad Phenomena Merchant Association’s and Purple Jade Island’s shares would likely remain in Three Realms Island’s hands.
