Chapter Summaries

Ye Lin secretly recovered his depleted strength while making Su Yun guide him through the night, and the Heaven-Devouring Demon Jar promised him a Tongtian technique.

Ye Lin and Su Yun found Chu Ling fighting the Great Peace Holy Sect, whose members had nearly defeated her. As a man prepared to strike the exhausted Chu Ling, the Xuanyuan Sword reacted violently, and Su Yun revealed her powerful heritage.

• Su Yun told Ye Lin that Chu Ling came from the Heavenly Emperor Clan in the eastern Demon Domain, a branch of one of the ancient Human Race’s three great Human Emperor clans.

Ye Lin intervened to save Chu Ling, whose pure Human Emperor bloodline had stirred the Xuanyuan Sword. He fought Lu Chen and three hidden attackers, leaving Chu Ling with Su Yun as he faced the encirclement.

• Ye Lin escaped their encirclement, threw Chu Ling toward Su Yun, and unleashed the Nine Heavens Profound Thunder Sword Art, filling the sky with a Thunder Sea.

Ye Lin confronted Lu Chen and three Great Peace Holy Sect geniuses, whose combined power had initially challenged him. After they recognized his reputation and prepared to fight in earnest, Ye Lin uncovered the Blooddrinking Sword of the Fallen Emperor and charged at them.

• The dead man’s two brothers rushed at Ye Lin to avenge him, and Lu Chen tried to warn them.

Ye Lin fought Lu Chen and two other opponents while Lu Chen’s strange arts strengthened Su Yun. After Ye Lin unleashed a powerful thunder sword attack, Lu Chen used Yin-Yang Reversal to restore the two men, leaving Ye Lin puzzled by the technique.

• Lu Chen joined the fight rather than let Ye Lin kill his brother, and Ye Lin drew on the Blood Baleful aura of the Blooddrinking Sword of the Fallen Emperor.

Ye Lin examined Chu Ling’s panel and learned that her cursed, thirty-percent Human Emperor bloodline was tied to powerful inheritances and a dangerous future tribulation. The panel also revealed a Crimson God Fruit that might destroy any curse, leaving Ye Lin to study the unusual concentration of Chu Ling’s Fate Traits.

• Ye Lin read that combining the Crimson God Fruit with an invincible one’s immortal fortune power could destroy any curse.
• Ye Lin fell into deep thought after noticing that nearly all of Chu Ling’s Fate Traits centered on her Human Emperor bloodline.

Ye Lin realized Chu Ling’s awakened Human Emperor bloodline and the Crimson God Fruit were tied to a chain of events orchestrated by Destiny. He set out with Su Yun toward the Blood Pool, and Chu Ling asked to join them, claiming she felt something calling to her there.

• Ye Lin recognized that Chu Ling’s bloodline awakening would unseal her Fate Traits and that her survival would lead her to the Crimson God Fruit.

• Chu Ling asked to accompany Ye Lin, saying the Blood Pool was calling to her and vowing to remember the Great Peace Holy Sect’s attack.
• Ye Lin agreed to take Chu Ling along but warned that her survival would be her own responsibility.

Ye Lin led Su Yun and the injured Chu Ling onward after saving her, while deciding he would not rescue her a second time. Chu Ling concluded that the Xuanyuan Sword had prompted Ye Lin to save her because she descended from the Human Emperor.

• Ye Lin said he had already saved Chu Ling once and would not save her again.
• Ye Lin considered the Xuanyuan Sword a Human Race destiny treasure and a trump card rather than his own weapon.
• Chu Ling wondered why Ye Lin had rescued her despite their having no prior connection.
• Chu Ling reasoned that the Xuanyuan Sword had sensed her Human Emperor bloodline and instructed Ye Lin to save her.

Ye Lin questioned a Heaven Sect disciple and learned that the major demonic sects planned to attack the Blood Pool in three days. Su Yun noted that the operation had been moved up, leaving the reason for the change unclear.

• Ye Lin and Chu Ling traveled with Su Yun as powerful demonic cultivators from the Great Peace Holy Sect, the Supreme Demon Cult, and the Heaven Sect crossed the sky.
• Ye Lin pulled a Heaven Sect disciple out of the air and asked when the attack on the Blood Pool would begin.

• Su Yun noticed that the schedule had changed and wondered why the major sects were rushing their plans.
• Someone asked whether Ye Lin and the others intended to attack the Blood Pool.

Ye Lin, Su Yun, and Chu Ling headed toward the Blood Pool ahead of an assault by demonic sects, hoping to reach it in time to take advantage of the chaos. Chu Ling realized that Ye Lin and Su Yun were Demonic Cultivators, and the group continued on as other cultivators also made their way toward the Blood Pool.

• Chu Ling reacted with shock to the plan to assault the Blood Pool and warned that its Blood Baleful aura would be dangerous to immortal-path cultivators.
• Chu Ling noticed the hidden meaning in Su Yun's gaze and realized that he and Ye Lin seemed to be Demonic Cultivators.

• Ye Lin followed Su Yun, and Chu Ling caught up as other cultivators traveled toward the Blood Pool hoping to seize benefits.

Ye Lin, Chu Ling, and their companions hurried north through the Demon Domain as Chu Ling felt an increasingly powerful call. After traveling for a day and a night, they reached the Gazing's End Mountain Range.

• The Heaven-Devouring Demon Jar and the Blooddrinking Sword of the Fallen Emperor reacted excitedly as Ye Lin considered finding an artifact refiner to repair his incomplete sword.
• Chu Ling clutched her chest and said she felt something calling to her from the north, a sensation that grew stronger as they traveled.
• Gu Fengtian shouted at another cultivator, and the surrounding Rogue Cultivators broke into violent battles.
• Ye Lin's group ignored the fighting and continued north, arriving at the Gazing's End Mountain Range after a day and a night of travel.

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.

• Su Yun pointed out the Tenth Domain beyond Gazing's End Mountain Range and wondered how many Demonic Cultivators were hidden there.

• The Xuanyuan Sword trembled incessantly inside Ye Lin’s sleeve.

• The Xuanyuan Sword trembled as Chu Ling cradled the Crimson God Fruit, and Ye Lin guessed it wanted him to help her again.
• Ye Lin demanded something in return, so the Xuanyuan Sword sent golden light into his sea of consciousness and strengthened his Primordial Spirit.

• Ye Lin poured immortal fortune power into the fruit, transforming it into a golden fruit that shone brightly.

• Ye Lin gave Chu Ling the Crimson God Fruit, and she thanked him before leaving.
• Su Yun knelt and begged Ye Lin to spare his life after Ye Lin said he no longer had any use for him.
• Ye Lin ordered Su Yun to disappear, and Su Yun fled immediately.
• Ye Lin told the Heaven-Devouring Demon Jar that Su Yun's shattered Dao Heart had sealed his prospects, so he was no danger.
• The Heaven-Devouring Demon Jar urged Ye Lin to hurry toward the Blood Pool, saying its pull was overwhelming.

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.
• At the Blood Pool, white-clad figures checked the Heaven-Shrouding Grand Formation and braced for an assault by the Demon Domain’s five top Demonic Sects.
• Residents fled the Tenth Domain as self-proclaimed geniuses and other factions rushed in to seize opportunities while the Primordial Unity Mystic Immortals were confined.
• Geniuses ranked in the top four hundred of the Genius Ranking hid, while demonic qi thickened and the Tenth Domain appeared devoid of life.

Demonic Cultivators gathered in overwhelming numbers to attack the Blood Pool, whose guardians activated the Heaven-Shrouding Grand Formation. The attackers surrounded the barrier and gave the defenders half an hour to surrender.

• 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.
• Watching prodigies marveled that the Great Peace Holy Sect, Heaven Sect, Supreme Demon Cult, Blood Lotus Sect, and Star River Cosmos divisions had joined the assault.
