• Ye Lin stopped a young man running on all fours and asked where he was going.
• The young man said he was going to kill Ye Lin because he had been told Ye Lin was ahead.

Ye Lin met Li Madman, a strange young man sent to kill him in exchange for freedom, and followed him to Purple Sky City. Li Madman remained convinced Ye Lin was someone else and asked the city to bring Ye Lin out, leaving Ye Lin curious about his true nature.

• Ye Lin asked the beastlike young man why he wanted to kill him, and the young man said killing Ye Lin would earn him freedom.

• Ye Lin appeared before Li Madman and realized the young man had known he was following him all along.

Ye Lin discovered that Madman Li was being compelled to kill him and that something was wrong with the young man's mind. The Heaven-Devouring Demon Jar recognized a vicious method used on Madman Li, and Ye Lin restrained him to help restore his freedom.

• Ye Lin told Madman Li he was Ye Lin and asked whether he seemed like a devil, and Madman Li said he did not but believed he had to kill Ye Lin to gain freedom.
• Ye Lin offered to help Madman Li gain freedom and learned that the young man was called Madman Li and suffered headaches if he did not kill Ye Lin.
• Ye Lin examined Madman Li's sea of consciousness and found no apparent problem, though Madman Li's Primordial Spirit was extraordinarily powerful.
• Ye Lin used the blood-red radiance from his shoulder to investigate Madman Li, and the Heaven-Devouring Demon Jar condemned the method used on the child.
• Ye Lin bound Madman Li with golden chains and told him to endure the pain as he helped him regain his freedom.

Ye Lin subdued the rampaging Li Madman with help from four prodigies and had him taken back to Purple Sky City. The young men wondered what had caused the child’s strange condition and unusually powerful Primordial Spirit.

• Li Madman convulsed and screamed in pain as Ye Lin watched.
• Ye Lin asked four peak True Immortal prodigies to restrain Li Madman, and they pinned him down.
• Li Madman broke free of their combined suppression and attacked Ye Lin, but the Heaven-Devouring Demon Jar knocked him unconscious.
• Ye Lin ordered the four prodigies to carry Li Madman back to Purple Sky City.
• The prodigies speculated that Li Madman’s powerful Primordial Spirit was connected to his damaged mind and lost memories.

The Heaven-Devouring Demon Jar explained that Li Madman had been controlled by a Demonic Gu and tormented into madness, but confirmed that he could still be saved after the Gu was destroyed. Meanwhile, the Gu’s creator realized someone had interfered and suspected an Invincible was protected by fate.

• The Heaven-Devouring Demon Jar told Ye Lin that a Demonic Gu had been planted in Li Madman’s Primordial Spirit to control him and torment him with visions of his relatives’ deaths.
• The Heaven-Devouring Demon Jar explained that Li Madman’s mature mind had been suppressed and that he would become a vengeful monster if his Primordial Spirit collapsed.
• The Heaven-Devouring Demon Jar said it had destroyed the Gu and that Li Madman could still be saved, then fell silent to recover.
• Ye Lin considered examining Li Madman’s unusual talent with his panel.
• In the Demon Domain, the middle-aged man who had planted the Gu sensed its destruction and wondered who could have broken it.
• The middle-aged man blamed the difficulty on Invincibles being protected by fate.

Ye Lin remained protected by destiny from Golden Immortal assassins, while Poison Venerable’s forces searched the Central Continent. At a canyon full of powerful auras, the four Devil Race group leaders argued over who would attack first.

• A hidden trick meant to help Li Madman strike Ye Lin was ruined, and Golden Immortals avoided killing Ye Lin because destiny’s backlash could cost them their lives.
• Four groups searched the Central Continent from different directions, leaving no place unchecked.
• Poison Venerable and his men reached a canyon where he sensed over a hundred powerful auras.
• Mo Yi offered to send Group One into the canyon, but the four group leaders argued over which group should attack.
• Poison Venerable watched as the battle-hungry Devil Race members egged on their leaders and nearly came to blows.

Poison Venerable ordered Mo Yi and the other groups to attack prodigies hiding in a canyon, then rejected their plea to withdraw and commanded that they all be killed. As the battle began, Group One proved so strong that Mo Si urged the others to hurry before they ran out of opponents.

• Poison Venerable assigned Group One to lead the attack, Groups Two and Three to flank, and Group Four to support.
• Mo Yi punched through the canyon, forcing the hidden prodigies to emerge.
• The young leader pleaded for his group to be spared, saying they would withdraw from the struggle for the great era.
• Poison Venerable declared that they had chosen their side and ordered his forces to leave none alive.
• The hulking brutes charged into battle, and Mo Si urged the other groups to act quickly as Group One overwhelmed its opponents.

Mo Si led the Great Demons in a brutal battle that wiped out the present-day prodigies, while Ye Lin awakened Madman Li and discovered his extraordinary Dao of Strength traits. The chapter left Ye Lin considering Madman Li’s difficult cultivation path and the immense power he could gain by breaking through to Great Luo through strength alone.

• Ye Lin examined Madman Li’s panel and learned that his Fate Traits made him a natural inheritor of the Dao of Strength.
• Ye Lin recognized that Madman Li cultivated solely through the Dao of Strength, a path that bypassed some requirements but made reaching Great Luo exceptionally difficult.
• Ye Lin considered how cultivators who broke through to Great Luo through their own strength could wield far greater power than those who fused with a Destiny Dao Fruit.

Ye Lin freed Li Madman from the headaches that had controlled him and persuaded him to become his follower. He renamed him Li Xiaoyao, who happily accepted his new name.

• Ye Lin asked Li Madman to wait and see whether the pain returned; after more than a hundred breaths passed, Li Madman celebrated his freedom.

• Yun Feng asked Ye Lin to send reinforcements because he was short on manpower, and Ye Lin asked whether he could still hold out.

• The prodigies on Purple Sky City’s walls watched the battle and marveled that Li Xiaoyao’s physical strength surpassed Ye Lin’s.

Ye Lin fought Li Xiaoyao and began to grasp the principles behind his straightforward, all-encompassing punches. Elsewhere in the eastern Demon Domain, an old man completed a silver-haired figure bearing Ye Lin’s face and announced that it was alive.

An old man prepared a duplicate Ye Lin to kill the original and claim his Invincible Art, but the duplicate secretly rejected the old man’s control and planned to confront the impostor in the Central Continent. With Wang Niu and three thousand peak True Immortal cultivators assigned to him, he set out to gather allies who had been deceived.
