Chapter Summaries

Ye Lin discovered that his Chaos Sword Body had greatly strengthened his Grand Void Ashen Extinction Finger, but he was soon trapped in a formation that drained his vital essence. Surrounded by Blood Beasts and unable to find the formation’s core, he tried to push toward its boundary as his enemies mocked his chances of escape.

• Ye Lin asked Bao Xiaotou how to escape the formation, explaining that he could not find its core and that his vital essence was draining.
