Chapter Summaries

The Soul Clan formed the Soul Alliance to oppose the Three-One Sect, forcing the continent’s powers to consider which side to support. In the Thunder Realm, Lei Ying began investigating Lu Yu after Mang Tianchi recalled his connection to Xiao Yan.

• The Soul Clan gathered displaced powers into the Soul Alliance and sought support from the ancient clans and the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan.
• The Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan joined the Soul Alliance, while the other ancient clans remained undecided and contacted the Ancient God Faction.
• Lei Ying and the Thunder Clan Great Elder weighed the dangers of supporting either side, and the Great Elder warned that joining the Soul Alliance was like seeking a tiger’s hide.
• Lei Ying summoned Mang Tianchi and asked him to describe the mysterious young man he had encountered in the Void Thunder Pool.
• Mang Tianchi recalled that the young man knew a student at Jia Nan Academy, most likely Xiao Yan, and Lei Ying reacted to the name.

Lei Ying decided to align the Thunder Clan with the Three-One Sect after weighing Lu Yu and Xiao Yan’s potential, while the other ancient clans refused to submit. Xiao Yan’s assault on the Medicine Clan and Xiao Yixian and Chen Duo’s devastating retaliation left the Soul Alliance outmatched and the continent’s conflict on the brink of open war.

• Lei Ying ordered Mang Tianchi to verify whether the young man he had met was Lu Yu and said the Thunder Clan would join the Three-One Sect if the identity was confirmed.
• Lei Ying and the Great Elder discussed Xiao Yan’s extraordinary talent and concluded that Lu Yu’s ability to found the Three-One Sect made him a potential future Dou Di.
• Xiao Yan, Xiao Xun'er, and Yao Chen went to persuade the Medicine Clan to join the Three-One Sect, but the clan enlisted the Soul Alliance to attack them.
• Xiao Yan reached the eight-star Dou Sheng realm, killed more than a dozen low-level Dou Shengs, injured the Medicine Clan leader, seized the Void Devouring Flame, and escaped.
• Xiao Yixian and Chen Duo attacked the weakened Medicine Clan, killed its leader, and eliminated its high-ranking experts; Hun Tiandi failed to defeat them and fled after being poisoned.
• The Three-One Sect’s forces began gathering under Empress Misty Cloud as the Soul Alliance’s numerical advantage collapsed and the Middle Continent recognized its disadvantage.

Lu Yu completed the transformation of the Heaven-Defying Seal and formed his own Invincible Dao Charm and Feather Transformation Order, then accepted the Bodhi Ancient Tree’s Spiritual Body as a companion. He prepared to begin his journey into the Great Thousand World, though his new powers and the seal remained incomplete.

• The Three-One Sect’s force of more than a hundred Dou Sheng experts entered the Middle Continent under the leadership of its powerful chiefs and allies.
• Lu Yu merged his ten soul rings into the Heaven-Defying Seal’s jade pearl, causing it to crack and release his new Invincible Dao Charm and Feather Transformation Order.
• The jade pearl shattered and revealed the Heaven-Defying Seal’s true body, which Lu Yu merged into himself above his dantian.
• The Bodhi Ancient Tree withered, sent its Spiritual Body into Lu Yu, and became a tattoo on his back after agreeing to follow him.
• Lu Yu recognized that he had surpassed Dou Di in power but still lacked Origin Qi, and he considered how to develop his talismans and soul bones in the Great Thousand World.

Lu Yu returned to Jia Nan Academy, where Xiao Yan and the other leaders of the Three-One Sect had gathered at his summons. He asked whether they had brought the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade, leaving the gathered students to recognize him as the sect’s supreme leader.

Lu Yu gathered the ancient jade fragments and led his companions into Tuoshe Ancient Emperor’s Cave Mansion, where they encountered an Emperor Grade Nascent Pill posing as Tuoshe Ancient Emperor. The pill recognized that Lu Yu had refined the Void Devouring Flame and Netherworld Demonic Flame, setting up a confrontation over the cave’s secrets.

• Gu Yuan, Xiao Yan, Lei Ying, Xiao Yixian, and Yun Yun presented the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade fragments, and Lu Yu led them from Jia Nan Academy to the magma beneath the Heavenly Burning Qi Refining Tower.
• Lu Yu introduced Zhu Kun to Zi Yan, explained that he had been trapped rather than abandoning her, and said he had come both to enter the cave mansion and fulfill his promise to the Great Void Ancient Dragon Clan.
• Xiao Yan and the others assembled the jade fragments and opened the cave mansion, then followed Lu Yu through its gate to a square surrounded by Heavenly Flames.
• An aged figure claiming to be Tuoshe Ancient Emperor appeared, but Lu Yu identified him as an Emperor Grade Nascent Pill.
• The Emperor Grade Nascent Pill acknowledged that the Void Devouring Flame and Netherworld Demonic Flame had been refined and said they had understood how to awaken the stone statue.

Lu Yu defeated and subdued the Emperor Grade Nascent Pill, then explained how Origin Qi and the upper plane made the Dou Emperor breakthrough possible and sent Xiao Yan to receive Tuoshe Ancient Emperor’s inheritance.

• Ya Fei asked Lu Yu for the Emperor Grade Nascent Pill and proposed merging life essence into it through dual cultivation so they could refine its Origin Qi together.
• Seven days later, Ya Fei brought Lu Yu the perfected pill, and they spent the following days together as energy gathered over Yunlan Mountain.
• Lu Yu broke through to Dou Emperor, but he stayed inside the back-mountain cabin with Ya Fei while Gu Yuan and the others waited anxiously outside.

• One month later, Xiao Yan appeared on Yunlan Mountain with a brief, weaker imperial aura that carried demonic energy, and he explained what had happened.

Lu Yu created the Jun Lin cultivation method and used it to sever the barrier between the Dou Qi World and the higher plane. He opened a passage in the Middle Continent and prepared to leave with Xiao Yan and Ya Fei, while telling the others they could follow after reaching the Dou Emperor realm.

• Xiao Yan explained how his heart-tempering trial pushed him into demonhood, and how his love for Xiao Xun'er helped him pass while balancing the demonic path with his Great Dao of Fire.
• The world’s energy surged, and Lu Yu awakened after more than a month of cultivation, forming his first Jun Lin halo and naming his new cultivation method.
• Lu Yu infused the Jun Lin halo into the Supreme Sword Questioning Talisman and used the Feather Transformation Order to slash open the barrier between worlds.
• Lu Yu went to the Middle Continent, empowered an iron sword with Life Grant and Wisdom Grant, and instructed it to summon future Dou Emperors there.
• Lu Yu told Gu Yuan and the others that the passage to the higher plane was in the Middle Continent and that they could choose whether to leave after breaking through.
• Chen Duo asked whether Lu Yu was leaving, and he confirmed that he would take Xiao Yan and Ya Fei ahead and asked her to join him after reaching the Dou Emperor realm.

Lu Yu entered the Great Thousand World with Xiao Yan and Ya Fei, secretly sending Xiao Yan to the Northern Barren Continent so he could grow through hardship. Lu Yu went to the Western Heaven Continent, where he accepted Luoshen Tian’s invitation to visit the Luoshen Clan and arrived at Luoshen Palace.

• Luoshen Tian brought Lu Yu into Luoshen Palace, where an Earth Supreme Realm elder questioned who Lu Yu was.

Lu Yu stayed with the Luoshen Clan, learned to convert Dou Qi into Spiritual Power, and spent over a month reaching the peak of the Supreme Realm. His breakthrough produced two unusual Supreme Seas, and he emerged from the bamboo house to find Luoshen Tian, Luoshen Tianjiao, and Luoshen Tianlong watching him.

• Luoshen Tian rebuked an Imperial Branch elder for objecting to Lu Yu, then introduced Lu Yu to Luoshen Tianjiao, Luoshen Tianlong, and Liuli.

• Lu Yu spent more than a month converting his Dou Qi and reached the peak of the Supreme Realm while suppressing a breakthrough to Earth Supreme.

• Lu Yu left the bamboo house and found Luoshen Tian, Luoshen Tianjiao, and Luoshen Tianlong peering inside.

• Luoshen Tian, Luoshen Tianjiao, and Luoshen Tianlong realized Lu Yu had reached the Earth Supreme realm in only half a year, while Lu Yu continued his seclusion.
• The Blood God Clan and the Strength God Clan and Bone God Clan pressured the Luoshen Clan into holding a Four Clans Assembly in Luoshen City.
• Luoshen Tian recognized that the rival clans intended to use the assembly to cripple or overtake the Luoshen Clan, and he worried over the crisis.

With the Luoshen Clan facing the Four Clans Assembly without support from its Imperial Branches, Lu Yu agreed to represent the clan as a guest elder and promised to secure victory. He also asked for the clan’s Son of the Continent quota, access to the Luo River, and Luoshen Tian’s blessing for Luoshen Tianjiao and Liuli; he then confirmed that Wang Ye and Zhuge Qing were the Black and White Twin Fiends.

• After learning the Black and White Twin Fiends were Lu Yu’s friends, Luoshen Tian considered whether the other people Lu Yu had asked him to investigate were extraordinary too.
• Luoshen Tianlong reported that Xue Lingzi had invited Western Heaven Battle Hall envoy Lin Dong to witness the Four Clans Assembly, but Lu Yu said he would join the Luoshen Clan and explain his arrival from a lower plane.

• Lu Yu flashed onto the arena, declared the Luoshen Clan the assembly’s champion, and invited anyone from the Three Great Divine Clans who disagreed to come forward.

• Lu Yu asked Elder Lin Dong whether he could kill his opponent, and Xue Lingzi agreed that deaths in the arena were allowed.
• Gu Tongtian summoned his skeletal Supreme Dharma Body, but Lu Yu destroyed it with one punch and killed him with a second.
• The Bone God Clan patriarch rushed onto the arena to avenge his son and attacked Lu Yu with a larger skeletal Dharma Appearance.
• Lu Yu shattered the patriarch’s Dharma Appearance with his leg techniques and punches, while Xue Lingzi and the Strength God Clan patriarch recognized that Lu Yu was far stronger than expected.
• After reflecting that his current combat techniques were inadequate, Lu Yu told the three other clans to attack him together because the Bone God Clan patriarch alone was not enough.

Lu Yu defeated the Three Great Divine Clans’ forces and secured the Luoshen Clan’s dominance in the Lesser Western Heaven Realm. The clan hailed him as their emperor, but Lu Yu had not yet answered their hopes as the chapter ended.

While the clan strengthened its position and Liuli became pregnant, Lu Yu reached a cave deep beneath the river and wondered why finding it had been so easy.

• Deep beneath the Luo River, Lu Yu found a cave and wondered how it had been so easy.

Lu Yu broke the Luo River’s restriction, awakened Luoshen’s remnant soul, and convinced her to form a soul link so he could attempt to resurrect her.

• Lu Yu used the Feather Transformation Order and the Law of Time to break Luoshen’s restriction and found her crystalline inheritance rune in the cave.

• Lu Yu endured the first lightning strike, then continued the process as a second purplish-black bolt destroyed his Invincible Dao Body.

• Lu Yu promised to accept Luoshen Tian and Liuli’s child as his disciple and named the child Luoshen Li.

• Lu Yu and Elder Lin Dong traveled toward Western Heaven Battle City, the seat of the Western Heaven Battle Hall.
