Chapter Summaries

Lin Qingzhou, a transmigrator in Douluo Continent who failed to awaken a Martial Soul, endured nightly torment on a mysterious battlefield and recorded a cryptic sentence he heard in a dream.

Lin Qingzhou found Feng Qingyun’s Heaven-Swallowing Demonic Art, which could grant or improve a Martial Soul through a willing sacrifice, and decided he needed to use it to escape his nightly torment. Unable to obtain a suitable sacrifice through the black market, he settled on Na'er as his best chance and considered keeping her close until she agreed to offer herself.
