Chapter Summaries

Ye Lin and his companions arrived at the front-line battlefield, where Li Longevity welcomed them with a crushing display of pressure. Ye Lin resisted him and recognized his attempt to seize Ye Lin’s fortune, leaving the two wary rivals walking together.

• Li Longevity approached Ye Lin and the others while unleashing his overwhelming aura, forcing most of them to retreat.
• Ye Lin stepped forward and absorbed Li Longevity’s pressure, shielding the people behind him despite being injured.
• Ye Lin realized Li Longevity was trying to suppress him and claim his fortune, though Li Longevity dared not kill him.
• Li Longevity laughed, stepped aside, and invited Ye Lin to proceed; Ye Lin agreed and walked beside him while their companions watched angrily.

Ye Lin blocked Li Changsheng’s attempt to intimidate the prodigies gathered at the defensive line. Li Changsheng explained that the line kept powerful outsiders from bringing disaster to the Demon Domain, though their backing by Golden Immortal factions had trapped both sides in a stalemate.

• Li Changsheng tried to make the prodigies submit by releasing his pressure and targeting Ye Lin, but Ye Lin blocked his effort.
• The prodigies recognized Li Changsheng’s strength and endured his provocation, growing more resentful of him.

• Li Changsheng explained that the defensive line trapped the outsiders to prevent them from wreaking havoc across the Demon Domain.
• Li Changsheng said both sides were locked in a stalemate because the outsiders were backed by Golden Immortal factions and could not be punished without provoking their patrons.

Li Longevity brought Ye Lin to confront Luo Chen and the Stowaways, framing Ye Lin as their chief enemy while revealing their True Immortal Battlefield had collapsed. Luo Chen offered to abandon the great age and leave the Demon Domain, but Li Longevity gave no answer, glancing toward Ye Lin.

• Li Longevity pointed out the Stowaways' position and said they were about to counterattack.
• Luo Chen warned Li Longevity against approaching, and Li Longevity introduced him to Ye Lin as the Stowaways' leader.

• Luo Chen asked Li Longevity to let the Stowaways leave the Demon Domain, and Li Longevity smiled and glanced toward Ye Lin.

Ye Lin rejected Li Longevity’s invitation and recognized that their group could not challenge him because of the strength gap. After Li Longevity left, Ye Lin’s companions discussed joining forces with Luo Chen, but Ye Lin warned them against cooperating with Stowaways.

• Li Longevity taunted Luo Chen and offered him self-destruction as his only way out, but Luo Chen dismissed him and left.

Ye Lin and his newly ascended allies struggled to find their footing among the powerful factions in the Primordial Unity Mystic Immortal battlefield. When Luo Chen abruptly returned with over a hundred cultivators and attacked Li Changsheng, Ye Lin suspected something was wrong and led his group away to watch from a distance.

• Ye Lin urged his allies not to despair and said they needed to make plans rather than confront stronger cultivators directly.
• Luo Chen returned with over a hundred armed figures and challenged Li Changsheng to fight.
• Luo Chen and Li Changsheng clashed, unleashing powerful battle waves and laws across the starry sky.
• Dugu Feng and Ye Lin sensed that the sudden battle was suspicious, so Ye Lin led his group farther away.
• Ye Lin's group watched as the battle grew fiercer and reflected on the gap between their strength and that of the late-stage and peak cultivators.

Ye Lin recognized that Li Changsheng had maneuvered him into a trap where either choice could damage his standing, as four Stowaways attacked a crucial formation. He intervened to bind them with the Lock of Void and threatened to kill them if they did not leave.

• Four figures used strange cone-shaped objects to bombard the formation until cracks appeared in its black barrier.
• Ye Lin realized that letting the Stowaways escape or attacking them could both give Li Changsheng a chance to undermine him.
• Dugu Feng suspected Li Changsheng had colluded with the Stowaways and worried over how Ye Lin should respond.
• Ye Lin sent golden chains through space with the Lock of Void and bound all four attackers.
• Ye Lin warned the bound men to leave or face death, even if he had to exhaust all his fortune.

Ye Lin established a base on a lifeless continent after driving off four cultivators with a show of force. His followers discussed their growing numbers and began to suspect that Li Changsheng had colluded with the Stowaways, leaving their next move uncertain.

• Ye Lin used chains to frighten off four late-stage Primordial Unity Mystic Immortals and told his people to make the continent their base.
• Ye Lin's followers rapidly formed a lifeless continent and gathered in its great hall, where Ye Lin took command.
• Ye Lin told the gathering that his people would not help those who had rejected them, and his followers argued that their growing numbers could overcome their cultivation disadvantage.
• One follower suggested that Li Changsheng and the others might have colluded with the Stowaways, and the group cited the recent battle and the neglected formation as evidence.

Ye Lin decided that his group would stop following Li Changsheng’s plans and focus on growing stronger across the Demon Domain. They agreed to reunite in ten thousand years, leaving Li Changsheng to deal with the Stowaways.

• Dugu Feng asked what the group should do given that they lacked the strength to fight the Stowaways.
• Ye Lin said they should raise their strength and leave the Stowaways to Li Changsheng.

• The group agreed to go their separate ways and meet again in ten thousand years.
• Ye Lin wished everyone well as they prepared to depart.

After leaving the Demon Domain gathering, Ye Lin took Li Xiaoyao to explore the region, while Li Changsheng’s faction turned against him for abandoning the battlefield. Li Changsheng then ordered his people to release the Stowaways, leaving the defensive line in jeopardy.
