Chapter Summaries

Xiao Ze led the four women through the magma to the true entrance of the Dou Saint Ruins, where he subdued ten Earth Demon Puppets and opened the stone gate. Inside, he sent Lightning Bodies to explore the many corridors while he and the women searched for a supreme treasure intended for Zi Yan.

• Xiao Ze led the women through the magma and revealed that the fiery passage was a decoy hiding the true route.
• The group found ten Earth Demon Puppets guarding a stone gate, and Xiao Ze subdued and stored them.
• Xiao Ze told Zi Yan that the ruins’ supreme treasure was connected to her and would be for her use.
• Xiao Ze created Lightning Bodies, gave them Storage Rings, and sent them to explore the corridors while the group searched for the treasure.

Xiao Ze led Zi Yan and the others through the Dou Saint Ruins to a forest of rare heavenly treasures, then revealed that an even greater treasure lay beyond a Beast Spirit Barrier. The group entered the barrier and found a blood-red plain with an ancient altar radiating terrifying pressure.

• Xiao Ze asked Zi Yan to use her treasure-seeking talent, and she sensed heavenly treasure aura down a passageway.
• Xiao Ze opened a moss-covered stone door, revealing an ancient forest filled with rare heavenly treasures.
• Xiao Ze told Zi Yan that the treasure deeper in the forest could make her path to Dou Sainthood easy.
• Zi Yan sensed the aura of an Ancient Void Dragon senior and recognized the Beast Spirit Barrier in a clearing.
• Zi Yan used her golden blood to open the barrier, and Xiao Ze and the others entered.
• Xiao Yi Xian and the others saw a barren, blood-red plain and a towering stone altar that emitted terrifying pressure.

Zi Yan and the others discovered the Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit, which Zi Yan absorbed into her body for later refinement. After Xiao Ze recovered an Ancient Void Dragon’s skeleton for her to take to the Dragon Tomb, the group turned to consider what to do with the Ancient Heaven Phoenix’s remains.

• Zi Yan recognized the altar’s treasure as the legendary Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit, born from the remains of an Ancient Void Dragon and an Ancient Heaven Phoenix.
• Xiao Ze explained that refining the fruit could let Zi Yan reach the Dou Saint realm and gain both supreme bloodlines.
• Zi Yan used her blood to absorb the Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit, and Xiao Ze warned her not to refine its vast energy without help.
• Zi Yan agreed to return the Ancient Void Dragon’s bones to the Dragon Tomb, so Xiao Ze lifted the skeleton and stored it in a high-grade Storage Ring for her.
• Zi Yan hugged Xiao Ze and kissed his cheek, then blushed when Xiao Yi Xian and the others noticed.
• Xiao Ze redirected everyone’s attention to the valuable Ancient Heaven Phoenix skeleton and asked how they should handle it.

Xiao Ze refined the Ancient Heaven Phoenix skeleton into bone marrow and shared it among himself and the others. After absorbing his portion, he strengthened his Origin Tree but remained short of the Dou Saint realm, then sorted the treasures gathered from the ancient forest.

• Xiao Ze discovered purple bone marrow inside the Ancient Heaven Phoenix skeleton and decided to refine it.
• Over several days, Xiao Ze burned the skeleton into ashes and purified its bone marrow, while Xiao Yi Xian and the others gathered treasures in the ancient forest.
• Xiao Ze divided the bone marrow among himself, Xiao Yi Xian, and the others, but Zi Yan declined her share because she had already obtained the trip's most precious item.
• Xiao Ze absorbed his portion, expanding the Origin Tree's diameter to just over six hundred meters without reaching the Dou Saint realm.
• While Xiao Yi Xian and the others continued refining their shares, Xiao Ze organized the medicinal herbs gathered by the Lightning Body.

Xiao Ze and the others left the altar after refining the Ancient Heaven Phoenix marrow and headed deeper into the Dou Saint Ruins. In the Pill Hall, they found a snow-white beast trapped in a lightning cage, and Zi Yan suspected it was another Pill Beast.

• Xiao Yi Xian, Medusa, and Qing Lin broke through after refining the Ancient Heaven Phoenix marrow, and Xiao Ze led the group onward through the golden rift.
• Xiao Ze and the others returned through the Beast Spirit Barrier and continued toward the central area, leaving the Lightning Body to collect treasures in the ancient forest.
• Xiao Ze brought the group to the Pill Hall, where the Lightning Body had already collected the pills and formulas from the first floor.
• Xiao Ze covered the group with golden flames to protect them from poison as they climbed to the third floor, leaving Xiao Yi Xian unshielded.
• Xiao Ze and the women found a snow-white, catlike beast trapped in a lightning cage, and Zi Yan asked whether it was another Pill Beast.

Xiao Ze used the Purple-Gold Little Dragon’s example and high-tier pills to win over the snow-white Pill Beast. After the two Pill Beasts ate eighth-tier pills, the snow-white one settled into Xiao Ze’s arms, determined to stay with him.

• The white little beast defended itself when Xiao Ze and the others entered the Pill Hall, and Xiao Ze decided to try taming it with pills.
• Xiao Ze fed the Purple-Gold Little Dragon high-grade sixth- and seventh-tier pills in front of the white little beast, making it yearn for the same treatment.
• Xiao Ze brought out an eighth-tier pill and dispersed the lightning cage, prompting the white little beast to run over and expose its belly for attention.
• Xiao Ze stroked the white little beast and released two eighth-tier pills, telling the two Pill Beasts to take one each.
• After eating the pills, the Purple-Gold Little Dragon returned to Xiao Ze’s wrist while the white little beast burrowed into his clothes and resolved not to leave.

Xiao Ze tamed a snow-white Pill Beast, then led his group to a palace containing a Dou Saint’s treasures. When ancient Human Puppets attacked, Xiao Ze destroyed them with a single spatial strike, leaving the scrolls’ fate unresolved.

• Xiao Ze tamed the snow-white Pill Beast by feeding it an eighth-tier medicinal pill, and it fell asleep with the other Pill Beast.
• Xiao Ze led the group to a bronze-yellow palace and opened its stone doors.
• Inside, the group discovered ten valuable Dou Skill and cultivation-method scrolls guarded by more than a dozen ancient Human Puppets.
• Xiao Ze told the others to prevent the scrolls from escaping while he fought the puppets.
• Xiao Ze unleashed a spatial storm that tore apart all the ancient Human Puppets.

Xiao Ze destroyed the Ancient Human Puppets, secured the ten scrolls, and warned that the Dou Saint skeleton could awaken. The skeleton revived by absorbing the energy from the light clusters and threatened the intruders, while Xiao Ze told his companions to hold position.

• Xiao Ze unleashed a spatial storm that destroyed the Ancient Human Puppets, then calmed the storm and repaired the spatial rifts.
• Xiao Ze and the others captured and neutralized the ten scrolls before returning to the hall entrance.
• Xiao Ze warned the women that the Dou Saint skeleton could awaken, and they watched as one of its fingers moved and a red glow appeared in its eye sockets.
• The Dou Saint skeleton rose, absorbed the energy from the light clusters, and its eye glow turned gold.
• The Dou Saint skeleton declared that all who trespassed upon the ruins would die.

Xiao Ze fought the Dou Saint skeleton after it absorbed the light sphere’s energy and reached power close to a Half-Saint. The skeleton unleashed the Heaven-tier Great Heaven Creation Palm, and Xiao Ze met its devouring black halo with his four-seal Emperor Seal Technique as the hall collapsed around them.

• The Dou Saint skeleton attacked Xiao Ze, who met its palm strike and forced it back to its stone seat.
• Xiao Ze judged that the skeleton’s strength still fell short of a genuine Half-Saint, despite the lingering soul fragment and Dou Saint energy.
• The skeleton named the Great Heaven Creation Palm, and Xiao Ze warned Xiao Yi Xian and the others to retreat.
• The skeleton formed a black, devouring halo while Xiao Ze prepared the four stacked seals of the Emperor Seal Technique.
• Xiao Ze’s crystalline hand seal collided with the black halo, halting its expansion as the ruined hall broke apart around them.

Xiao Ze’s Emperor Seal Technique clashed with the Dou Saint skeleton’s Great Heaven Creation Palm, and the resulting spatial storm left the skeleton powerless. Xiao Ze claimed the technique-bearing ribs and began refining the skeleton as his companions continued exploring the Dou Saint Ruins.

• Xiao Ze’s Emperor Seal Technique halted the Great Heaven Creation Palm, and the two techniques shattered the surrounding space before annihilating each other in a burst of energy.
• Xiao Ze reunited with Xiao Yi Xian, Qing Lin, Medusa, and Zi Yan as the spatial storm subsided and the damaged Dou Saint skeleton emerged with its golden eye-light extinguished.
• Xiao Ze used golden flame to reveal runes on three of the skeleton’s ribs, then removed them as the bones recording the Great Heaven Creation Palm.
• Xiao Ze promised to share the Dou Saint Bone Marrow with the women and decided to refine the skeleton while his Lightning Body explored farther into the ruins with them.
• Xiao Ze split his attention between extracting the Dou Saint Bone Marrow and studying the three ribs containing the Great Heaven Creation Palm.

Xiao Ze processed the Dou Saint bone marrow and distributed it among his companions, then began tempering the ribs containing the Great Heaven Creation Palm. Elsewhere, a Nine Serenity Deep Ground Python elder brought his favored grandson to the Skeleton Mountain Range to absorb power from the bones.

• Xiao Ze divided the cooled Dou Saint bone marrow into pellets and sealed them in a jade vial.
• Medusa told Xiao Ze that the area behind the great hall held living quarters, cultivation spaces, and bones used for puppet research.
• Zi Yan swallowed three pellets of Dou Saint bone marrow, while Xiao Yi Xian and the others began refining their shares.
• Xiao Ze used golden tree roots to devour a pellet, then tempered the three ribs recording the Great Heaven Creation Palm.
• A Nine Serenity Deep Ground Python elder led his grandson to the Skeleton Mountain Range and urged him to absorb power from its bones.

Xiao Ze received Creation Saint’s inheritance of the Heaven-tier Great Heaven Creation Palm and learned its meridian circulation and power. After rejoining his companions, he promised to develop a palm-tempering liquid so they could learn the technique, then announced that it was time to leave the fully explored Dou Saint Ruins.

• Xiao Ze used Golden Spirit Saliva to strengthen the hidden meridians in his right palm and accepted the soul image’s influence.
• Xiao Ze entered Creation Saint’s memory space, memorized the Great Heaven Creation Palm’s meridian circulation, and watched Creation Saint demonstrate the technique.
• Creation Saint identified himself before his memory space collapsed, and Xiao Ze returned with a faint dark-golden mark on his palm.
• Xiao Ze deduced that he could try to replicate Golden Spirit Saliva and planned to teach the Great Heaven Creation Palm to Xiao Yi Xian and the others.
• Xiao Ze reassured Qing Lin and his companions that they could cultivate the technique after he developed a palm-tempering liquid, then said it was time to leave the Dou Saint Ruins.

Xiao Ze and his companions left the Ancient Ruins and encountered an elder and his grandson from the Nine Serenity Deep Ground Python clan. Qing Lin killed the grandson, subdued the Dou Venerate elder, and led the group deeper into the mountains to seek more powerful magical beasts before the clan could react.

• Xiao Ze and the others left the crimson giant hall through the Space Channel, and Xiao Ze concealed their exit with a spatial seal.
• Xiao Ze sensed two magical beast clan auras outside, while a Nine Serenity Deep Ground Python elder and his grandson discovered the group emerging in the basin.
• The grandson tried to flirt with the women and claim the status of his clan, prompting Xiao Ze to let Qing Lin handle him.
• Qing Lin killed the grandson, then used her Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils to subdue the Dou Venerate elder and store him within her pupils.
• After learning from the elder's memories that the clan had a Dou Saint chief and useful subordinate races, Xiao Ze ordered Qing Lin to contract more powerful beings, and the group hurried deeper into the mountains.

Xiao Ze and his group hunted powerful snake-type experts across the Beast Domain, causing panic among the Nine Serenity Deep Ground Python clan and its affiliates. After the clan deployed its remaining Dou Venerate elders as bait, Xiao Ze withdrew, but a white-bearded old man began pursuing him.

• Xiao Ze used Qing Lin's intelligence to split the group up and hunt snake-type magical beasts across the Beast Domain.
• Medusa defeated and briefly controlled a black serpent elder, while nearby affiliated clans feared the Nine Serenity Deep Ground Python clan would not protect them.
• Half Saint elders at the Nine Serenity Deep Ground Python headquarters marked the disappearances on a map and decided to send out their remaining Dou Venerate elders as bait.
• Xiao Ze defeated a golden giant python, warned his allies not to act rashly, and decided to rendezvous with them outside the Beast Domain.
• Xiao Ze drained some of the golden python's Dou Qi and vanished, leaving a white-bearded old man to find the charred remains and pursue his trace of aura.

Xiao Ze tested the Nine Serenity Deep Ground Python tribe’s Third Elder, a high-level Half-Saint, using a Lightning Body before revealing himself. He dismissed the Third Elder’s strength and challenged him directly.

• Xiao Ze sensed a powerful presence in the Endless Void and sent out a nine-star Dou Venerate Lightning Body to investigate.
• The Third Elder tracked the disturbance and attacked the Lightning Body with a massive dark yellow crystal.
• Xiao Ze’s Lightning Body struck the crystal and surged toward the Third Elder, who shattered it by infusing it with Dou Qi and detonating it.
• The Third Elder realized he had destroyed only a Dou Technique and angrily vowed to kill Xiao Ze himself.
• Xiao Ze appeared nearby under a black cloak and told the Third Elder that a Half-Saint was nothing special.

Xiao Ze fought Third Elder of the Nine Serenity Deep Ground Python clan, testing his Heaven-tier Dou Skill before overpowering the Half-Saint in close combat. He used the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils to control Third Elder and began refining his Dou Qi.

• Xiao Ze infused his lightning with the Origin Emperor Flame and clashed evenly with Third Elder’s Nine Serenity Yellow Spring power.
• Third Elder attacked with the Nine Serenity Cold Yin Palm, but Xiao Ze countered with the Great Heaven Creation Palm and forced Third Elder to use several Dou Skills to break it.
• Xiao Ze charged at Third Elder, shielding himself from the Yellow Spring’s cold with golden flames.
• Xiao Ze shattered Third Elder’s arm and battered him until he spat blood and his aura weakened.
• Xiao Ze used the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils to control Third Elder and began refining his Dou Qi.

Xiao Ze returned safely after fighting a Nine Serenity Deep Ground Python Clan expert, then led his companions toward Ancient Dragon Island before the clan could retaliate. Zi Yan brought them through the Endless Void to the island, where she welcomed them as honored guests.

• Yao Xiaotian learned that attackers had struck the Nine Serenity Deep Ground Python Clan and that the Third Elder had been gravely injured, so he ordered the elders to hunt them down.
• Xiao Ze rejoined Xiao Yi Xian, Medusa, Zi Yan, and the others, then urged them to leave for Ancient Dragon Island before the clan retaliated.
• Zi Yan opened a Space Channel and guided the group through the silver passage toward Ancient Dragon Island.
• The group passed through a silver ring of light and saw the vast island enclosed within a barrier in the Endless Void.
• Zi Yan welcomed her friends as honored guests and offered to show them around, while Qing Lin eagerly accepted.

Zi Yan returned to Ancient Dragon Island with Xiao Ze and his companions, where Elder Zhu Li welcomed them and recognized the extraordinary beings among the group. Zi Yan revealed that she had obtained a Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit, leaving Zhu Li stunned.

• Xiong Zhan greeted Zi Yan and welcomed Xiao Ze, Qing Lin, and the others back to Ancient Dragon Island.
• Xiong Zhan led the group to Elder Zhu Li while Zi Yan showed Xiao Ze and his companions around the island.
• Elder Zhu Li recognized the Ancient Heaven Snake's soul within Qing Lin, the controlled Woeful Poison Power within Xiao Yi Xian, and Medusa's Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python form.
• Zi Yan showed Elder Zhu Li the Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit mark on her palm, and Zhu Li reacted with overwhelming shock.
• Zi Yan said the fruit was her harvest from going outside, then admitted Xiao Ze had helped her obtain it.

Zhu Li thanked Xiao Ze for bringing the Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit to the Ancient Void Dragon Clan and secretly considered him a good match for Zi Yan. As Xiao Ze discussed how to make the fruit's energy safe to absorb, Hei Qing delivered five drops of Ancient Void Dragon Dou Saint essence blood as a reward.

• Zhu Li bowed to Xiao Ze and thanked him for helping the Ancient Void Dragon Clan, then offered the clan's assistance in return.
• Zhu Li realized Xiao Ze and Zi Yan might become closer and began asking how they had met, prompting Zi Yan and the other women to notice his matchmaking intentions.
• Zi Yan redirected the conversation to refining the Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit, and Zhu Li left to consult the clan's ancient records about it.
• Xiao Ze explained that the fruit's immense energy would need to be tempered before Zi Yan could absorb it safely.
• Hei Qing arrived with five drops of Ancient Void Dragon Dou Saint essence blood, which Zhu Li had sent to Xiao Ze in recognition of his help.

Xiao Ze accepted five drops of Dou Saint ancient dragon blood essence after Hei Qing learned that Zi Yan possessed the Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit. He began refining the fruit with rare medicinal ingredients, leaving it to absorb the medicinal liquid as the final step.

• Xiao Ze accepted the ancient dragon blood essence Hei Qing brought from the Dragon Hall as a token of goodwill from the Ancient Void Dragon Clan.
• Zi Yan showed Hei Qing the Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit, and Hei Qing realized it could help the clan produce a supreme Dragon-Phoenix.
• Xiao Ze reassured Zhu Li that he could refine the fruit and gave him a list of rare medicinal ingredients to gather.
• Hei Qing quickly returned with the ingredients, and Xiao Ze began refining them in a Fire Cauldron using the Origin Emperor Flame.
• After half a month of refinement, Xiao Ze had Zi Yan toss him the Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit and caught it with his soul power before placing it in the cauldron to absorb the medicinal liquid.
