Chapter Summaries

Xiao Yu persuaded Xun’er to leave the valley, disguised himself, and entered the hall to claim the Chaos Green Lotus. After confronting four restrained Soul Hall figures, including Nihility Devouring Flame, he unleashed his power in response to the Soul Hall Master’s threat.

• Xiao Yu convinced Xun’er that she would put him at risk by entering the hall, and she left with Elder Lin, Elder Zhao, and Elder Yao.
• Xiao Yu changed his face with a medicinal pill and entered the hall under the cover of Soul Power.
• Nihility Devouring Flame attacked Xiao Yu, but he dodged and recognized the black flame as Nihility Devouring Flame.
• Xiao Yu learned that the four figures were restrained, received the Chaos Green Lotus sign-in reward, and taunted them about what was sealed below.
• The Soul Hall Master threatened Xiao Yu, so Xiao Yu released his full aura and awakened his minor-mastery Prison Suppressing Divine Body.

Xiao Yu broke the seal while Nihility Devouring Flame and Hun Miesheng tried to stop him, releasing two powerful Primordial Fires. Chaos Fire identified them as the Nine Yin Demonic Flame and Nine Yang Sacred Flame and warned Xiao Yu that they could devour it.

• Xiao Yu sent two Shadow Clones to hold back Hun Miesheng while resisting Nihility Devouring Flame’s devouring attack.

• The seal shattered, and the Nine Yin Demonic Flame and Nine Yang Sacred Flame emerged, entwined in midair.
• Chaos Fire told Xiao Yu that the flames were mature Primordial Fires powerful enough to devour it, prompting Xiao Yu to ask whether they should flee.

Xiao Yu learned that the Nine Yang Sacred Flame and Nine Yin Demonic Flame were paired flames that weakened and strengthened in cycles, and watched them overpower Soul Hall’s forces. He decided to let Chaos Fire wait for the flames to weaken further before trying to devour them, but fled when their power engulfed the hall, as Nihility Devouring Flame turned its attack toward him.

• Chaos Fire proposed devouring the two flames when they became weaker, and Xiao Yu agreed to wait until Chaos Fire sensed the right moment.
• The paired flames erupted and engulfed the great hall, prompting Xiao Yu to escape as Nihility Devouring Flame struck toward the flames and resolved to kill him.

Xiao Yu claimed the Chaos Green Lotus, which raised his Soul Power to Great Perfection Heavenly Realm and let him overpower the Soul Hall forces and Nihility Devouring Flame's avatar. After killing Hun Miesheng's body and shattering a Soul Hall Heavenly Venerable's soul, Xiao Yu blocked Nihility Devouring Flame's escape.
