• Lu Ye learned from Zixiao that Nine Heavens had lost roughly thirty percent of its forces and saw that the Black Cloud Fleet was surrounded by the star pirate groups.

Lu Ye led the Nine Heavens Star Pirate Group into the battle, attacking the other pirates to help Black Cloud escape. He reached Black Cloud’s flagship and reunited with its successor, Yu Yaorao, leaving the two poised to work together.

• Lu Ye ordered Zixiao and the Nine Heavens Star Pirate Group to escort Black Cloud out of the encirclement, though Zixiao mistakenly thought Lu Ye wanted Black Cloud’s spoils for himself.

• Yu Yaorao introduced herself as Black Cloud’s Young Sect Master and assured the wary Elder Lan that Lu Ye would not harm her.

Lu Ye broke through the Star Pirate Groups’ encirclement and escorted Yu Yaorao and the Black Cloud Fleet to safety. After the fleets from nearby star systems arrived, Yu Yaorao gave him the trial’s jade-green treasure, which Lu Ye determined was only a prop.

• Yu Yaorao handed Lu Ye the jade-green sphere, and he found that it had no power and was merely a trial prop.

Lu Ye returned from his first Asura Arena trial with a mysterious treasure and more than 150,000 Asura Seals, then reunited with Yu Yaorao in his Cave Abode. Their conversation revealed that Yu Yaorao’s real Second Uncle had been hidden among the Star Pirate Group, and Lu Ye had only been mistaken for him.

• Yu Yaorao gave Lu Ye the trial’s treasure before they exchanged imprints and parted ways.

• Lu Ye and Yu Yaorao realized he was the leader of the Nine Heavens Star Pirate Group, not her Second Uncle, and that she had mistaken him for the secret ally.

After Yu Yaorao left, Lu Ye discovered that the mysterious sphere concealed the Fate Dice, an affiliated treasure of a Supreme Treasure. He tested its power in the Asura Treasure Vault and began gambling on Storage Rings, where the Dice’s warning helped him avoid a ring that shattered when another cultivator claimed it.

• Yu Yaorao invited Lu Ye to visit her Cave Abode, and Lu Ye decided to wait before challenging the Battle Arena until Hetao returned from her trial.
• Lu Ye broke the orb-like object and found a blank Dice inside that he could not store or activate.
• Lu Ye took the Dice to the Asura Treasure Vault, where the Asura Arena identified it as the Fate Dice, an affiliated treasure of a Supreme Treasure.
• Lu Ye rolled the Fate Dice, and an Auspicious character struck his forehead, filling him with confidence that he could overcome any difficulty.
• Lu Ye went to the Storage Ring gambling area and ignored an old man's recommendation to choose a particular ring after sensing something was wrong.
• Another cultivator claimed the ring, which burst into powder, while the old man insisted it had belonged to a Sunlight cultivator.

Lu Ye tested the Fate Dice, gained a fortune that led him to a valuable Storage Ring, then suffered its ominous backlash and hid until it passed. With the Battle Arena rankings nearing settlement, he challenged the third-ranked cultivator, who was recovering from a strange injury.

• Lu Ye exchanged for a Storage Ring without a Restriction Lock and found it contained goods worth roughly thirty million Lingyu.
• Lu Ye rolled the Fate Dice again, received Ominous, and witnessed a panicked Moon Jade Realm Late Stage cultivator get erased by the Asura Arena's Mystic Light.
• Lu Ye returned to his Cave Abode, where the Talent Tree burned away the Fate Dice's ominous power, and he stayed inside until the unease faded.
• Lu Ye learned that he had risen to fifth place, challenged the fourth-ranked cultivator, and then challenged the third-ranked cultivator after the fourth failed to return.
• The third-ranked Stone Race cultivator left his recovery to answer Lu Ye's challenge, despite his Elder warning him not to strain his strange wound.

Lu Ye faced third-ranked Tian Yan in the Battle Arena, but Tian Yan recognized him from their previous encounter and forfeited rather than risk being wounded again. Lu Ye rose to third place and learned that Gu Sheng and Abuluo stood ahead of him.

• Hetao and her master arrived to watch Lu Ye challenge Tian Yan, and her master wagered everything on Lu Ye.
• Tian Yan recognized Lu Ye as the man who had injured him in a previous trial and decided not to fight.
• When the match began, Tian Yan admitted defeat, returning Lu Ye to his Cave Abode and advancing him to third place.
• Hetao changed her wager to Lu Ye at the last moment and won a large share of the bets placed on Tian Yan.
• Tian Yan told a Sunlight elder of the Stone Race why he forfeited, then asked to watch Lu Ye's upcoming challenges.
• Lu Ye checked the rankings and found Gu Sheng of the Yellow Dragon Realm in first place and Abuluo of the Ancient Barbarian Realm in second.

After learning about the top Moon Jade fighters from Yu Yaorao, Hetao, and Gui Yi, Lu Ye considered challenging Abuluo and Gu Sheng. The chapter ended with Abuluo treating an injured Gu Sheng while dismissing a challenge as another attempt by Tian Yan.

• Yu Yaorao congratulated Lu Ye for defeating Tian Yan and revealed that Tian Yan had led the Star Pirate Groups during their training expedition.
• Hetao and Gui Yi sent Lu Ye information about Abuluo and Gu Sheng, explaining that the two traded the top ranking and that Tian Yan had repeatedly failed to beat them.
• Abuluo visited Gu Sheng, who had returned injured from the training expedition, and insisted on using Barbarian medicinal wine and a healing technique to treat him.
• Abuluo began striking Gu Sheng's bare back to heal him, while Gu Sheng endured the painful treatment and cursed at him.
• Abuluo noticed someone had challenged him but assumed it was Tian Yan and decided to make the challenger wait.

Lu Ye faced Abuluo in the Battle Arena and matched the Barbarian fighter in a fierce contest of strength. Abuluo unleashed his Nine Savage Beast Transformations, and Lu Ye met his tiger-form attack with a Saber Lotus as the battle continued.

• Abuluo left Gu Sheng to recover, and Gu Sheng howled in pain once Abuluo was gone.
• Lu Ye entered the Battle Arena and discovered that his opponent, Abuluo, was excited to face a new challenger who had defeated Tian Yan.
• Lu Ye and Abuluo traded a rapid series of saber strikes and punches without either giving ground, impressing the spectators.
• Abuluo praised Lu Ye and transformed into a giant tiger using the Nine Savage Beast Transformations.
• Abuluo's roar failed to affect Lu Ye, who answered the tiger's pouncing attack with a blazing Saber Lotus while Hetao anxiously watched her bet.

Lu Ye fought Abuluo through five forms of Savage Beast Transformation, matching the formidable cultivator in strength and skill. Abuluo stopped before his sixth form because using it would cost him his life, leaving Lu Ye disappointed that he could not test its power.

• Hetao worried after wagering all her Asura Seals on Lu Ye, while her master admitted she could not judge the fight through the Battle Arena's barrier.
• Lu Ye shoved away Abuluo's tiger form, and Abuluo transformed into a faster black panther, but Lu Ye kept pace with his saber techniques.
• Abuluo transformed into a giant python and then an Ox Demon, whose crushing attack Lu Ye countered with the Heaven-Opening Saber.
• Abuluo took his fifth form, a Golden-Winged Great Peng, and Lu Ye fought it with the Pounce Technique until Abuluo retreated and returned to human form.
• Lu Ye asked to see Abuluo's sixth transformation, but Abuluo refused because it would damage his foundation enough to kill him.

Abuluo unleashed his combined five-transformation state and revealed that he had cultivated the Body Flower, but Lu Ye matched his overwhelming strength through precise control. Lu Ye then wounded Abuluo with a subtle vibrating slash, before Abuluo’s counterpunch shattered Lu Ye’s Sacred Guard defenses.

• Abuluo entered a state combining the power of his first five Savage Beast transformations and revealed his Body Flower, showing that he had reached the Star Constellation Realm’s ultimate limit.
• Abuluo attacked Lu Ye at tremendous speed, and the two began exchanging blows with such precise control that no power spilled from their clashes.
• Hetao’s master recognized that both fighters had achieved extraordinary control over their power, while Abuluo realized Lu Ye was matching his enhanced strength without using a visible Secret Technique.
• Lu Ye’s Crag Mountain Saber vibrated as it struck Abuluo’s arm, cutting him and drawing dark crimson blood for the first time in his battles with Gu Sheng.
• Abuluo’s punch struck Lu Ye’s chest and shattered more than a dozen layers of Sacred Guard Spirit Patterns.

• Gu Sheng checked the ranking, learned that Lu Ye had challenged him, and accepted the challenge.

Lu Ye defeated Abuluo and Gu Sheng, taking the top spot in the Moon Jade Realm Battle Arena, then met Hetao and Nan Lian to divide their betting spoils. Nan Lian advised him to visit the Bounty Hall in disguise, and Lu Ye returned to his Cave Abode to change his appearance first.

• Abuluo realized Lu Ye had held back during their fight and saw him as a chance to test his own potential, while Gu Sheng collapsed with worsening wounds.
• The Battle Arena cultivators recognized Lu Ye as the new top-ranked fighter after he defeated Abuluo and then Gu Sheng.

• Lu Ye decided to check out the Bounty Hall, returned to his Cave Abode, and prepared to change his appearance.

Disguised as a stocky Body Cultivator, Lu Ye visited the Bounty Hall and discovered missions posted by cultivators wounded by his Liao Saber. He accepted one of the healing bounties and went to meet its poster.

• Lu Ye changed his appearance, concealed his Magic Power, and entered the Bounty Hall with his Asura Token.
• He examined the bounty missions, including large rewards for information about the Asura Arena and assassinations of powerful cultivators, and wondered whether the listed Ma Bin was the senior he knew.
• Lu Ye found a mission offering three hundred thousand Asura Seals to cure a strange poison that devoured Qi and blood, which he believed he could resolve with the Talent Tree.
• He recognized a series of missions for cultivators whose wounds he had inflicted during Moonlight Ranking challenges and understood why Nan Lian had directed him to the hall in disguise.
• Lu Ye accepted one of the thirty-thousand-Seal healing missions, received a message from its anxious poster, and headed to a vacant meeting room.

Lu Ye used his concealed Treasure Blood Clone and Crag Mountain Saber to remove Liao Power from wounded cultivators, earning more than six million Asura Seals through a growing stream of bounty tasks. Abuluo and Gu Sheng recognized clues to his Weapon Race ability but did not press him to reveal himself, and Gu Sheng asked to exchange Asura Token Marks.

• Lu Ye secretly used the Crag Mountain Saber to remove a wounded cultivator’s Liao Power and collected thirty thousand Asura Seals.
• Lu Ye accepted batches of bounty tasks, treated more than a hundred cultivators, and accumulated over six million Asura Seals.

• Lu Ye denied knowing what they meant, accepted their bounty tasks, and resolved both cultivators’ Liao Power.
• Gu Sheng asked to exchange Asura Token Marks, and Lu Ye took out his Asura Token.

Lu Ye cured a cultivator suffering from a vitality-draining toxin, earned more Asura Seals, and refined treasures to improve his Magic Source. When he entered his next trial, the Asura Arena’s vision and sounds became distorted, and he was left trapped in darkness.

• Lu Ye accepted a bounty mission and used the Talent Tree to burn away the strange toxin afflicting a dying cultivator.
• The cured cultivator thanked Lu Ye and offered to exchange Asura Token Marks, but Lu Ye politely declined.
• Lu Ye completed another similar bounty mission and left the Bounty Hall with more than seven million Asura Seals.
• Lu Ye refined treasures that improved his Magic Source, then decided to keep his remaining Asura Seals for future needs.
• Lu Ye entered his next trial, but the scene and sounds appeared distorted before everything vanished into darkness.
• Lu Ye called out and tried to walk, but he could neither hear his voice nor move his legs.

Lu Ye entered an unexplained Asura Arena trial, drew misfortune from the Fate Dice, and killed two cultivators who attacked him. A dying old man entrusted him with an infant and sent him to Yunluo Sacred Land, leaving Lu Ye to begin the journey by finding the child food.

• Lu Ye emerged from a Thatched Cottage in a mountain forest, found no trial information, and drew the Fate Dice’s misfortune character.
• Two cultivators questioned Lu Ye about an old man carrying a child, then attacked him, and Lu Ye killed them both with his saber.
• Lu Ye found a mortally wounded old man holding an infant, and the old man told him to take the child to Yunluo Sacred Land before dying.
• Lu Ye caught the falling infant, realized he had to escort the child as his trial task, and flew off to find food.
• Lu Ye brought the infant to a village, where a nursing woman agreed to feed him while a rough-looking man watched nervously.

Lu Ye discovered that the two cultivators he had killed could repeatedly revive, while they demanded he surrender the infant and join the Disciples of the Great Heavenly God. After killing them twelve times, he learned they were shadows, and their final disappearance left him questioning what they were.

• Lu Ye sensed that the realm was under invasion and left a Treasure Blood Clone behind as he went to investigate two approaching auras.
• He recognized the tall and short cultivators he had killed before, questioned them about the Great Heavenly God and their survival, then cut them down again.
• The cultivators revived and attacked with poisonous Magic Power, but Lu Ye’s Talent Tree burned away the poison.
• Lu Ye repeatedly killed the pair as they regenerated, noticing that each revival took longer and left them with less vitality.
• After Lu Ye killed them for the twelfth time, their remains turned into fluorescent specks and vanished, revealing that they were shadows.

Lu Ye delivered an infant to Yunluo Sacred Land, where he discovered that the Asura Arena had made him its missing Holy Son and the junior brother of Sun Nianyue. As Sun Nianyue explained the invasion threatening the Zhongyou Realm, Lu Ye learned that its enemies were Heavenly God Disciples who could recover from even fatal injuries.

• Lu Ye left the village with the infant and traveled to Yunluo Sacred Land, where patrols escorted him to a Guest Hall.

• Sun Nianyue explained that foreign enemies had invaded the star system and that the Zhongyou Realm was under attack.

Lu Ye settled into his role as the Holy Son of the Yunluo Sacred Land and learned that the Sacred Land was treating cultivators wounded in the war against the Heavenly God Disciples. When Sun Nianyue asked him to help treat a wounded cultivator, Lu Ye realized his past bounty work had earned him this medical identity and effortlessly dispelled the enemy’s strange power.

• Sun Nianyue told Lu Ye that he had once abandoned medical cultivation to become a Weapon Cultivator, then sent A Qiduo to escort him to the Star-Plucking Tower.
• A Qiduo reminded Lu Ye that they had entered the sect together and showed him a scar from an injury he had once treated.
• After a day at the Star-Plucking Tower, Lu Ye went with A Qiduo to Benevolence Source Valley to help treat the wounded.
• Sun Nianyue asked Lu Ye to take over treatment of a one-armed cultivator whose wound was afflicted by a Heavenly God Disciple’s power.
• Lu Ye placed a hand on the cultivator’s shoulder and rapidly dispelled the black mist and dark discoloration, astonishing Sun Nianyue.
