Chapter Summaries

Xiao Zhan fought to contain the Ten Thousand Dragon-Phoenix Pagoda’s collapse and destroy Old Ghost Zhaixing’s final Soul Hall attack, while Queen Medusa sacrificed her bloodline to save Xiao Lin. The pagoda survived and the immediate battle ended, but the survivors were gravely weakened and Soul Hall’s threat remained.

• The Ten Thousand Dragon-Phoenix Pagoda began collapsing as dark-red Soul Poison energy surged through its base, wounding Queen Medusa, Xiao Lin, and Xiao Yi Xian.
• Xiao Zhan used his Dragon-Phoenix power to devour and burn away the destructive torrent, while Queen Medusa sacrificed her bloodline to purify Xiao Lin and save his life.
• Xiao Shang’s rule power stopped Queen Medusa’s life from draining away and transferred a small strand of Xiao Lin’s Dragon Phoenix Origin as the price.
• Old Ghost Zhaixing crushed the Ten Thousand Soul Order and detonated the Soul Poison across the oasis in a final attack.
• Xiao Zhan transformed the energy he had gathered into a colossal red-gold dragon that destroyed Old Ghost Zhaixing and consumed the annihilating tide.
• Xiao Zhan’s dragon protected and repaired the pagoda before fading away, leaving Xiao Zhan depleted, Queen Medusa weakened, Xiao Yi Xian unconscious but stable, and the survivors alive.

Xiao Zhan and the survivors of the Snake-People Tribe remained near death after the battle, while Ya Fei gave birth to Xiao Shang in the Mittel Family’s secret chamber. Xiao Shang’s birth weakened the Soul Poison curse afflicting Xiao Zhan, and Xiao Yi Xian’s poison power erased its last trace, leaving the survivors with a chance to recover.

• Xiao Zhan hovered near collapse outside the damaged Ten Thousand Dragon-Phoenix Pagoda as Queen Medusa, Xiao Yi Xian, Xiao Yan, and Yao Lao struggled with their injuries inside.
• Ya Fei gave birth to Xiao Shang, whose first outburst of rule power drained energy from the secret chamber before heeded her mother’s call and stopped.
• Xiao Shang’s newborn life pulse reached the pagoda and reignited Xiao Zhan’s heartbeat, suppressing most of the Soul Poison curse.
• Xiao Yi Xian’s Poison Pill released its remaining purple-gold power and destroyed the last trace of the curse in Xiao Zhan’s expelled blood.
• Xiao Zhan’s Dragon Phoenix Origin began to recover, Xiao Yi Xian’s condition stabilized, and Queen Medusa began meditating to restore her origin.

Xiao Zhan recovered after a mysterious rule-based power extinguished the last trace of his Soul Poison curse, while Xiao Yi Xian’s Woe Poison Body went out of control. A distant power then rebuilt her poison origin and saved her, leading Xiao Zhan to suspect that his newborn son Xiao Shang was responsible.

• A newborn crimson-gold spark revived Xiao Zhan and burned away the Soul Poison curse, while Queen Medusa weakened from her backlash.
• Xiao Yi Xian’s cracked Poison Pill unleashed uncontrolled poison that ravaged her body and overwhelmed Yao Lao’s attempt to seal it.
• Xiao Shang’s Abacus Bead Brand flared in the distant Golden Basin and sent a rule fluctuation toward the pagoda.
• The rule power suppressed Xiao Yi Xian’s poison, compressed it into a stable purple-gold origin, and destroyed her failing gray Poison Pill.
• Xiao Yi Xian’s condition stabilized, and Xiao Zhan recognized the power as coming from the same source that had revived him and wondered if Xiao Shang had caused it.

Xiao Shang’s newborn power reached across the continent to restore Xiao Yi Xian, but its effects rekindled Xiao Zhan’s dormant Dou Di Bloodline and triggered a deadly clash with his Dragon Phoenix Origin. Xiao Yi Xian’s reforged Woe Poison Body began harmonizing the energies, giving Xiao Zhan a fragile chance to regain control.

• Xiao Zhan recognized Xiao Shang’s distant intervention and felt the Dragon Phoenix Origin rekindle within him.
• The revived origin awakened Xiao Zhan’s dormant Dou Di Bloodline, whose energy violently clashed with his Dragon Phoenix Origin and threatened to destroy him.
• Xiao Yi Xian’s Woe Poison Body released a thread of violet-gold poison power that eased the clash and opened a narrow path between the energies.
• In the Mittel Family’s Golden Basin, Xiao Shang’s rules erased three Poison-Devouring Purple Gold Bodhi fruits after their presence disturbed him.
• Xiao Zhan used Xiao Yi Xian’s poison power as a bridge to guide the two forces into a fragile balance, and Queen Medusa recognized its harmonizing ability.

Xiao Zhan struggled to fuse his Dou Di Bloodline with his Dragon Phoenix Origin, and Queen Medusa used Xiao Lin’s power to help him form a new core. After surviving the transformation, Xiao Zhan ordered Xiao Yan to tend to the battlefield and prepared to settle accounts with Soul Hall.

• Xiao Zhan struggled to balance the two raging energies inside him as the purple-gold poison bridge began to fail.
• Queen Medusa awakened Xiao Lin’s protective Dragon Phoenix Bloodline with her Heavenly Snake Supreme heart’s blood, sending his power into Xiao Zhan.
• Xiao Lin’s power strengthened the poison bridge and allowed Xiao Zhan to fuse his bloodlines into a new dusky-gold energy core.
• Xiao Zhan recovered from his wounds while Queen Medusa collapsed from exhaustion and Xiao Yi Xian remained unconscious with her origin stable.
• Xiao Zhan told Xiao Yan to clear the battlefield and tend to the wounded, then declared that it was time to settle the score with Soul Hall.

After surviving a devastating backlash, Xiao Zhan stabilized his new power and turned his killing intent toward Jia Ma Holy City, while Xiao Yan treated the wounded. Ya Fei briefly opened her eyes and sent a chilling gaze across ten thousand li that struck Xiao Zhan and unsettled everyone nearby before vanishing.

• Xiao Zhan stood atop the Ten Thousand Dragon-Phoenix Pagoda with his stabilized dark-gold vortex core and vowed to target Soul Hall.
• Xiao Yan used the Bone Chilling Flame and Yao Lao’s guidance to remove Soul Poison from a wounded Snake-People Tribe warrior.
• Teng Shan and two core elders returned to the Mittel Family secret chamber terrified and broken after experiencing Xiao Shang’s power.
• Ya Fei opened her eyes and cast a piercing gaze across ten thousand li toward Xiao Zhan.
• Xiao Zhan, Xiao Yan, Yao Lao, Queen Medusa, and Xiao Yi Xian sensed the mysterious gaze before it disappeared.

Ya Fei briefly awakened with an uncanny power to perceive value and control rules, sending precise aid to Xiao Yan, Queen Medusa, and Xiao Yi Xian before collapsing unconscious. Xiao Zhan wondered whether the intervention came from Xiao Shang or Ya Fei as the oasis remained under the shadow of his transformed power.

• Xiao Zhan surveyed the ruined battlefield while Xiao Yan, Queen Medusa, and Xiao Yi Xian struggled with their injuries and unstable powers.
• Ya Fei awakened in the Mittel Family secret chamber and assessed Teng Shan, the other elders, and a Dou Emperor guard through her new perception of value and risk.
• Ya Fei restructured the Mittel Family’s underground energy network and created three rule formations to support Xiao Yan, Queen Medusa, and Xiao Yi Xian.
• Xiao Yan absorbed Soul Nourishing Marrow, Queen Medusa hesitated over a simulated Heavenly Snake Blood Essence, and Xiao Yi Xian’s Purple Gold Poison Core began adjusting to Ya Fei’s formula.
• Ya Fei exhausted herself and fell unconscious, while Xiao Zhan wondered whether Xiao Shang or Ya Fei had sent the aid.

Xiao Zhan’s unstable fusion of Dou Di bloodline and Dragon Phoenix Origin collapsed, nearly devouring him before his rage forced the powers into a new crystal. He survived, but distant forces had been drawn into the conflict, and the storm remained unresolved.

• Queen Medusa absorbed the projected Heavenly Snake Blood Essence, while Xiao Yi Xian’s Purple Gold Poison Core was forcibly stabilized by an outside power.
• Xiao Zhan’s vortex core collapsed inward and began devouring his body, trapping Xiao Yan and threatening everyone atop the pagoda.
• A rule-bound will from the Holy City and a separate devouring will attacked Xiao Zhan’s collapsing core, worsening the destruction.
• Xiao Zhan’s furious will forced the Dou Di bloodline and Dragon Phoenix Origin to fuse into a dark-chaotic crystal, driving both wills away.
• Xiao Zhan fell gravely injured but alive, while Ya Fei bled in her distant secret chamber and a roar sounded in the unknown void.

Xiao Zhan’s newborn Dark Chaos Crystal began devouring matter to keep him alive, causing him to consume the Ten Thousand Dragon-Phoenix Pagoda as he healed. As the pagoda’s rules resisted his hunger, Ya Fei appeared and halted the struggle with a single command.

• Xiao Yan and Yao Lao tried to treat Xiao Zhan, but his crystal devoured their energy and repelled their aid.
• Xiao Zhan’s crystal consumed a shattered scale fragment, revealing that it could absorb matter and convert it into energy.
• Xiao Zhan devoured the pagoda’s stone and debris to heal, then hurled Xiao Yan away when he tried to stop him.
• The pagoda’s rules strengthened its structure and resisted Xiao Zhan’s devouring, making the tower shudder under their clash.
• Ya Fei appeared and said, “That’s enough,” briefly stalling the crystal and the pagoda’s rules as she faced Xiao Zhan.

Ya Fei appeared on the pagoda and stopped Xiao Zhan from devouring its foundation, then supplied rare materials that stabilized his Crystal Core and repaired his body. She vanished after warning that the ley lines were moving unnaturally and Soul Hall was making another move, leaving the others facing new dangers.

• Ya Fei appeared on the pagoda and warned Xiao Zhan that further devouring would trigger an earthfire backlash and risk his Crystal Core's collapse.
• Ya Fei produced Nether Blood Marrow and Ink Jade Yama Branch, and Xiao Zhan devoured them to repair his injuries and strengthen his Crystal Core.
• Ya Fei assessed Xiao Yi Xian's unstable Woe Poison Body and noted its resonance with Xiao Zhan's Crystal Core.
• Ya Fei weakened and vanished after warning that the ley lines were moving unnaturally and Soul Hall was making another move.
• Xiao Zhan considered Ya Fei's warning as the others remained shaken by her appearance and disappearance.

After Ya Fei’s warning, the Soul Hall’s curse poisoned the earth veins beneath the oasis and began bringing down the Ten Thousand Dragon-Phoenix Pagoda. Xiao Zhan plunged into the erupting magma to devour it while Xiao Yan, Medusa, and Yao Lao struggled to keep the tower standing.

• The earth beneath the pagoda erupted as the Soul Hall’s Ten Thousand Soul Blood Curse poisoned the earth-vein core with dark, soul-flamed magma.
• The resulting sinkhole struck the pagoda’s foundation and sent the tower tilting toward collapse, throwing Xiao Yan, Medusa, and Xiao Yi Xian off balance.
• Xiao Zhan rushed into the magma and used his Dark Chaos Crystal’s devouring field to consume its earth-vein energy, Soul Poison, and resentful souls.
• Xiao Yan, Medusa, and Yao Lao combined their powers to reinforce the tower as more fissures opened across the oasis.
• The earth-vein upheaval continued to intensify while Xiao Zhan’s vortex temporarily slowed the tower’s fall.

Xiao Zhan devoured the Earth Vein slurry beneath the Ten Thousand Dragon-Phoenix Pagoda, but a Soul Hall brand triggered the Earth Vein’s furious backlash. Xiao Yi Xian’s Poison Core helped purify the torrent and ease the crisis, while an unknown presence awakened deep in the Earth Vein.

• Xiao Zhan used his Dark Chaos Core to devour the Earth Fire Poisonous Fiend and the tainted slurry, slowing the Ten Thousand Dragon-Phoenix Pagoda’s fall as Xiao Yan and Medusa held it steady.
• A hidden Soul Hall brand attacked Xiao Zhan’s core, but he let it in and his Chaos will devoured it.
• The destruction of the brand triggered the Earth Vein’s backlash, injuring Xiao Zhan and Medusa and causing the tower to tilt again.
• Xiao Yi Xian’s formula shattered, and her Purple Gold Poison Core erupted, devouring the backlash and soul poison and making the torrent gentler.
• Xiao Zhan resumed devouring the purified energy, easing the danger at the tower’s base.
• A pair of ghost-fire-green eyes opened deep in the contaminated Earth Vein and watched Xiao Zhan and Xiao Yi Xian.

Xiao Zhan and Xiao Yi Xian’s unstable energy-sharing briefly held the tower’s base together, but an ancient entity in the earth veins unleashed a force that began swallowing the oasis. As the Ten Thousand Dragon-Phoenix Pagoda collapsed, Xiao Zhan blocked the entity’s attempt to mark Xiao Yi Xian, then both fell into a rift after she awoke and fought back; the entity watched, still intent on claiming them as vessels.

• The ancient being beneath the earth veins recognized Xiao Yi Xian as its ideal vessel and stirred the ley lines, making the oasis and the Ten Thousand Dragon-Phoenix Pagoda sink into a powerful suction.
• Xiao Yan and Queen Medusa tried to hold the tower steady while Xiao Zhan and Xiao Yi Xian were pulled toward the fissures.
• The earth-core being sent a hidden will-spike to brand Xiao Yi Xian, but Xiao Zhan blocked it with a miniature dark vortex.
• The tower’s base broke, sending Xiao Zhan and Xiao Yi Xian plunging toward a rift as Xiao Yan and Queen Medusa were flung away.
• Xiao Zhan tried to use Xiao Yi Xian as a foothold, but she awoke with purple-gold eyes and counterattacked with her poison power.
• Xiao Zhan and Xiao Yi Xian clashed and crashed into the rift’s rocky wall, disappearing beneath falling rocks while the earth-core being watched.

Xiao Zhan and Xiao Yi Xian fought while trapped at the rift’s edge, until the Earth Core Poison Flame forced their devouring powers to fuse briefly and blasted them apart. Both were gravely injured, while the force deep underground secretly marked their fused energy and waited for its vessel to grow stronger.

• Xiao Zhan and Xiao Yi Xian clashed at the crumbling rift’s edge, each trying to devour the other while keeping from falling into the abyss.
• Xiao Yan tried to intervene, but Medusa warned that outside interference could destroy the unstable balance and send them both into the abyss.
• The force beneath the earth drew Xiao Zhan and Xiao Yi Xian toward a wisp of Earth Core Poison Flame energy, then used it to force their powers into a brief fusion.
• The resulting energy blast hurled Xiao Zhan and Xiao Yi Xian in opposite directions, leaving both gravely injured.
• The force deep underground revealed that it had planted a beacon in their fused energy, while Xiao Yan and Medusa watched from above.

Xiao Yan, Queen Medusa, and Xiao Zhan fought to save Xiao Yi Xian from the entity in the heart of the earth, whose influence had marked both Xiao Yi Xian and Xiao Zhan. Xiao Yi Xian was rescued, but the entity withdrew only temporarily, leaving the confrontation unresolved.

• Xiao Zhan and Xiao Yi Xian lay wounded on opposite sides of the rift after their forced fusion caused an explosion.
• A remote array from Jia Ma Holy City stabilized the rock, restored some of Queen Medusa's strength, and interfered with the marks on Xiao Zhan and Xiao Yi Xian.
• The entity in the heart of the earth renewed its pull and summoned Xiao Yi Xian, causing the rock wall to collapse and sending her sliding toward the abyss.
• Xiao Zhan used his devouring power to sever the entity's hold on Xiao Yi Xian while Xiao Yan and Queen Medusa pulled her to safety.
• The entity withdrew after its failed capture, and Xiao Yi Xian fell unconscious as Xiao Zhan staggered from his injuries.
