Su Yun, Ye Lin, and Chu Ling entered the demonic-qi-shrouded Tenth Domain, where Chu Ling’s bloodline led her to the Crimson God Fruit. Chu Ling picked it but felt that she was not yet meant to eat it, while the Xuanyuan Sword trembled in Ye Lin’s sleeve.

Ye Lin entered the Tenth Domain as the Demonic Cultivators and the Blood Pool’s guardians prepared for a coming confrontation. With the Primordial Unity Mystic Immortals confined, the domain descended into chaos, and the chapter ended as demonic clouds darkened the sky over a seemingly deserted land.

• Ye Lin slipped through the forest and entered the borderlands, where a Demonic Cultivator reported his arrival to the middle-aged man.
• The middle-aged man dismissed the unfamiliar figure and focused on stabilizing the Void-Refining Grand Formation, hoping the intruders would nourish the sect’s genius’s Heavenly Demon Body.

• Geniuses ranked in the top four hundred of the Genius Ranking hid, while demonic qi thickened and the Tenth Domain appeared devoid of life.

• A middle-aged man holding a small tower offered to let the guardians leave safely if they opened the formation within half an hour.

The four top Demonic Sects attacked the Blood Pool’s Heaven-Shrouding Grand Formation while its defenders struggled to keep it powered. As the middle-aged man realized their supplies would last only fifteen days, more demonic cultivators arrived to join the assault.

• The young man defending the Blood Pool challenged the Demonic Cultivators, and their forces began attacking the Heaven-Shrouding Grand Formation.

• The Heaven Sect prodigy struck the Heaven-Shrouding Grand Formation, opening a massive crack and injuring the cultivators maintaining it.
• The middle-aged man urged the defenders to hold the formation as cultivators poured immortal power into it to repair the crack.

The four great demonic sects used the Array-Breaking Awl’s final strike to tear open the Heaven-Shrouding Grand Formation protecting the Blood Pool. The defenders struggled to hold the breach as one peak True Immortal was destroyed, leaving their survival uncertain.

• The Great Peace Holy Sect leader and the other sects’ cultivators struck the formation twice with the Array-Breaking Awl, injuring many defenders inside the Blood Pool.

• The demon sects’ main force withdrew unnoticed while their leaders prepared to activate a grand formation and sacrifice the Tenth Domain.

The Blood Pool shattered and released overwhelming Blood Baleful aura and resentment, drawing cultivators to absorb its power. Ye Lin stayed outside the pool while the Heaven-Devouring Demon Jar and the Blooddrinking Sword of the Fallen Emperor entered it, and he began absorbing the aura with the Heaven-Devouring Demonic Art.

• The Blood Pool cracked apart, unleashing dense resentment that drove nearby cultivators back and turned the sky red.
• Several cultivators overcame their fear and flew above the Blood Pool to absorb its Blood Baleful aura, prompting others to follow.

• The two demonic weapons absorbed blood and Blood Baleful aura, growing stronger as their surfaces and auras changed.
• Ye Lin sat cross-legged in the air and used the Heaven-Devouring Demonic Art to draw Blood Baleful aura into his body.

Cultivators gathered at the Blood Pool to absorb its Blood Baleful aura, while the demonic sects secretly activated a formation around the Tenth Domain. As the Heaven-Devouring Demon Jar and the Blooddrinking Sword of the Fallen Emperor drained the Pool, the cultivators noticed the aura fading and the four great demonic sects were missing.

• Cultivators spread across the area above the Blood Pool and absorbed its abundant Blood Baleful aura, while Ye Lin refined it with the Heaven-Devouring Demonic Art.
• Demonic cultivators ordered the Void-Refining Grand Formation activated, and a blood-colored barrier enclosed the Tenth Domain without anyone noticing.
• The Heaven-Devouring Demon Jar and the Blooddrinking Sword of the Fallen Emperor frenziedly absorbed the Pool, causing its blood and aura to shrink.
• Cultivators noticed the Blood Baleful aura thinning and began to suspect something was wrong.
• A cultivator searched the area and realized that people from the four great demonic sects had vanished.

Cultivators gathered at the Blood Pool discovered that the four great demon sects had lured them into a trap: Blood Baleful qi drove many into a killing frenzy while a barrier sealed the Tenth Domain. The surviving cultivators were left unable to escape as their attacks failed to damage the formation.

• Cultivators wondered why the four great demon sects had disappeared after the Blood Pool was captured and suspected a scheme.

• The Heaven-Devouring Demon Jar complained that the Blood Pool was insufficient to restore it, though it had benefited, and the Blooddrinking Sword of the Fallen Emperor attached itself to Ye Lin’s back.

Ye Lin discovered that the four great demonic sects had trapped everyone in a complete Void-Refining Grand Formation, which neither he nor the Xuanyuan Sword could break. The Heaven-Devouring Demon Jar withheld its power to avoid spending its accumulated blood essence and attracting attention, leaving Ye Lin to seek another way out.

• Ye Lin noticed the formation above contracting and learned from the Heaven-Devouring Demon Jar that the Void-Refining Grand Formation absorbed and refined living beings’ vital essence.
• Ye Lin asked the Xuanyuan Sword to break the formation, but learned he could not wield even one ten-thousandth of its power.
• The Heaven-Devouring Demon Jar said it could shatter the formation only by using power comparable to a Primordial Unity Mystic Immortal’s, but doing so would consume much of its stored blood essence and risk drawing attention.
• Ye Lin was left speechless as the Heaven-Devouring Demon Jar urged him to find another way.

Ye Lin found that the Heaven-Devouring Demon Jar had left him to solve the crisis himself, and he tried to escape the Blood Pool as the formation contracted. After fighting off five cultivators who had succumbed to cultivation deviation, he vanished to search for a way out.

• Ye Lin left the chaotic area around the Blood Pool and found that the blood-red barrier cut his hand when he touched it.
• Ye Lin saw the formation contracting as deviated cultivators began targeting him and the others in the sky.

• Ye Lin vanished to search for an escape, and the attackers called for others to chase him.

Ye Lin was trapped inside the Void-Refining Grand Formation and fought off waves of peak True Immortals. As Demonic Cultivators outside the formation activated it to kill him, Ye Lin sensed a new danger in the heavens.

• Ye Lin learned from the Heaven-Devouring Demon Jar that the formation had no weakness he could exploit from within, so he charged the pursuing creatures and began slaughtering them.
• Demonic Cultivators watching through a light screen recognized Ye Lin as a likely Genius Ranking expert and decided to end the fight quickly.
• Ye Lin continued killing his attackers while the Blooddrinking Sword of the Fallen Emperor absorbed the essence of their flesh and blood.
• The Demonic Cultivators activated the Void-Refining Grand Formation, and Ye Lin looked toward the heavens after sensing something alarming.

Ye Lin was trapped in the Void-Refining Grand Formation as the Demonic Cultivators gathered three Blood Crystals to unleash a deadly attack. Just as the Heaven-Devouring Demon Jar prepared to save him, a voice rose across the Tenth Domain and powerful auras appeared.

• Ye Lin struck aside the crimson-eyed cultivators and tried to flee the attack gathering above him.
• The young man in the chief seat explained that three Blood Crystals could power a precise strike anywhere inside the formation and demanded Ye Lin's corpse.
• Ye Lin realized the attack could kill him and considered summoning his three other clones to help block it.
• The Heaven-Devouring Demon Jar prepared to intervene, admitting it could guarantee Ye Lin's survival.
• A voice threatened to kill anyone who harmed Brother Ye Lin, and another asked Great River to wash away the nauseating aura as rushing rivers and terrifying auras filled the Tenth Domain.
