Chapter Summaries

Ye Lin entered the Demon Race city with Su Tao and saw that its inhabitants lived among colossal beasts and structures built upon them. He surveyed the strange city, where giant creatures served as moving homes, landmarks, and residents.

• Ye Lin noticed that the gemstone eyes in the city's reliefs were alive and watched visitors.
• Su Tao led Ye Lin and the other two through the enormous dragon-carved gate, where Ye Lin felt the pressure of countless powerful auras.
• Ye Lin saw a moving Mystic Tortoise carrying a city on its shell and a giant python whose coiled body formed a mountain of dwellings.
• Ye Lin spotted a Golden-Winged Roc nesting atop a tall pillar and a Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox walking through the city's main avenue.
• Ye Lin watched colossal beasts roam freely through the city, including a Three-Legged Golden Toad whose leaps shook the ground.

Ye Lin and Su Tao surveyed the Myriad Demon Imperial Dynasty’s city, which was built across the body of its sleeping guardian dragon. The dragon remained asleep as Ye Lin learned of its power and uncertain waking intervals.

• Ye Lin saw an eight-armed divine ape carving a tower, a kui ox howling, and countless flying beasts filling the sky above the city.
• Ye Lin spotted a colossal sleeping dragon at the city's center and asked Su Tao what it was.
• Su Tao explained that the dragon was the Myriad Demon Imperial Dynasty’s million-year-old guardian deity, a fifth-level Quasi-Saint revered even by Central Region powerhouses.
• Su Tao said the dragon’s awakenings came at irregular intervals, ranging from thousands to hundreds of thousands of years.
• Ye Lin noticed that Demon Race cultivators lived and traded in buildings spread across the dragon’s body, making the sleeping dragon a living city.

Ye Lin and Su Tao arrived in the Myriad Demon Imperial Dynasty’s capital, a city built across the body of a giant dragon and governed by strength. After the Demon Race watched them in silence, a massive beast challenged Su Tao over killing the dynasty’s Emperor, and Su Tao answered with defiance.

• Ye Lin sensed the giant dragon’s powerful heartbeat and remarked that its body supplied the capital with immortal qi more than a hundred times denser than outside.
• Su Tao described the capital as a beast’s nest where strength, rather than laws, ruled.
• Ye Lin observed the savage, grand city and its Demon Race inhabitants as they noticed the four newcomers.
• A massive beast confronted Su Tao about killing the Myriad Demon Imperial Dynasty’s Emperor and asked whether he feared being killed.
• Su Tao boasted that he had slaughtered the Emperors of all three great Imperial Dynasties and challenged the beast to try killing him.

Su Tao ignored the Myriad Demon Imperial Dynasty’s beasts and searched for its treasury, which remained hidden because an old Dragon had suppressed the dynasty’s fate. After learning the treasury was inside a guarded Divine Mountain, Su Tao arrived there with Ye Lin and two others, where the guards ordered them to leave.

• The giant beasts backed down and left after Su Tao declared his strength.
• Su Tao realized the old Dragon had suppressed the Myriad Demon Imperial Dynasty’s fate, preventing him from sensing its treasury.
• Su Tao stopped a Demon Cultivator, who pointed him toward a golden Divine Mountain containing the treasury.
• Su Tao took Ye Lin and the other two to the Divine Mountain and found it guarded by patrolling Demon Beasts and a great formation.
• The guards spotted Su Tao and his companions and demanded that they leave.

Su Tao attacked the grand formation protecting the Myriad Demon Imperial Dynasty’s treasury, but it endured his strikes because it drew strength from the dynasty’s fortune and earth veins. The guardian dragon arrived and demanded that he leave, while Su Tao insisted that it open the treasury.

• Su Tao destroyed the charging colossal beasts with a flash of sword light.
• Su Tao struck the grand formation twice, but it remained intact as the Myriad Demon Imperial Dynasty’s fortune reinforced it.
• Ye Lin sensed how powerful Su Tao had become as Su Tao prepared to strike again.
• The guardian dragon flew from the Imperial Capital and confronted Su Tao over his attempt to enter the treasury.
• Su Tao told the guardian dragon to open the treasury, but the dragon urged him to leave and said it did not want a conflict.

Su Tao defied Bai Xian, the ancient dragon Emperor of the Myriad Demon Imperial Dynasty, and the two prepared to fight above the Imperial Capital. As Bai Xian struck, Ye Lin watched with Su Qing and Zhao Wanyi, trusting Su Tao to win.

• Su Tao rejected Bai Xian’s threats and warned that he would kill the old dragon if Bai Xian kept provoking him.
• Bai Xian became enraged, unfurled his immense dragon body, and released an aura that shook the Divine Mountain and sent Demon Race cultivators fleeing.
• Ye Lin reassured Su Qing and Zhao Wanyi as they watched from afar, deciding he trusted Su Tao to win and would flee with the women if he lost.
• Su Tao faced Bai Xian with cold black flames surrounding him and mocked the dragon’s strength.
• Bai Xian roared in fury and reached out with a dragon claw to attack Su Tao.

Su Tao injured Bai Xian with a palm strike, prompting the ancient dragon to awaken the primordial laws in his scales and break through to Quasi-Saint Sixth Heaven. Bai Xian’s power surged as the chapter ended, setting the stage for their battle to continue.

• Su Tao struck Bai Xian’s dragon claw with a black-flamed palm, shattering its scales and sending Bai Xian flying.
• Bai Xian realized Su Tao was far stronger than he had expected and solemnly challenged him to defeat him.
• Bai Xian awakened the ancient power within his scales, causing their primordial patterns to glow blue.
• Bai Xian broke through from Peak Quasi-Saint Fifth Heaven to Quasi-Saint Sixth Heaven, shaking heaven and earth with his roar.

Su Tao overwhelmed Bai Xian after revealing the power of a seventh-level Quasi-Saint. Bai Xian refused to accept defeat despite recognizing the gulf between their cultivation levels.

• Bai Xian unleashed the Breath of Chaos, but Su Tao countered it with a black palm imprint.
• Su Tao’s palm imprint devoured the dragon breath and smashed into Bai Xian, mangling his claw and shattering his scales.
• Su Tao mocked Bai Xian for believing his deep foundation could overcome the difference between a Sixth Heaven and a seventh-level Quasi-Saint.
• Bai Xian realized Su Tao’s cultivation made him a formidable figure even in the Central Region, but he still refused to accept defeat.

Bai Xian drew on the Myriad Demon Imperial Dynasty’s accumulated fortune, bringing his strength close to the seventh level of the Quasi-Saint Realm, and launched a devastating attack at Ye Lin. Ye Lin realized the strike was too powerful for him to withstand, but saw that Su Tao remained calm, apparently ready to counter it.

• Bai Xian summoned the dynasty’s fortune into his body and surged to the peak of the Sixth Heaven of the Quasi-Saint Realm, nearing the seventh level.
• Bai Xian gathered his million years of cultivation, his understanding of the Laws of Chaos, and the dynasty’s fortune into a single attack.
• Bai Xian struck with a dragon claw containing the laws of destruction, creation, time, space, and causality.
• Ye Lin judged that he could not withstand Bai Xian’s claw and considered how the dragon was using the dynasty’s fortune.
• Ye Lin noticed Su Tao remained unafraid and saw a hint of a smile in her eyes.

Su Tao used a black vortex to devour Bai Xian, the ancient Divine Dragon guarding the Myriad Demon Imperial Dynasty. After defeating him, Su Tao turned his attention to the enormous treasure vault.

• Su Tao summoned a black vortex that devoured Bai Xian’s dragon claw and the power of the five supreme laws.
• The vortex dragged Bai Xian toward it as he burned his blood essence and soul, then begged Su Tao to spare him.
• Su Tao watched as the vortex swallowed Bai Xian completely, killing the ancient Divine Dragon.
• After the vortex dissipated, Su Tao looked toward the enormous treasure vault and wondered what it contained.

Su Tao broke the Myriad Demon Imperial Dynasty’s treasure vault formation after killing the old dragon, then led Ye Lin, Su Qing, and Zhao Wanyi inside. They reached a vast, chaotic chamber illuminated by an enormous Demon Core that Ye Lin recognized as belonging to at least a Quasi-Saint-level Demon Beast.

• Su Tao considered the Sacred Dynasty’s ruler the only person who could punish him, then reflected that the old dragon had chosen to die.
• With the old dragon dead, the Myriad Demon Imperial Dynasty’s fate scattered and weakened the treasure vault formation.
• Su Tao shattered the formation with a single palm strike and led Ye Lin, Su Qing, and Zhao Wanyi down the passage into the vault.
• The group passed murals depicting the Demon Race’s ancient wars before entering a vast chamber filled with disordered treasures.
• Ye Lin sensed that the enormous Demon Core illuminating the vault had come from at least a Quasi-Saint-level Demon Beast.

Ye Lin and Su Tao explored the Myriad Demon Imperial Dynasty's treasury, discovering a blood pool that could temper bloodlines and rows of preserved Demon Beast corpses. They continued deeper into the treasury, where countless more Demon Beast remains awaited.

• Ye Lin examined the Myriad Beast Blood Pool and learned that entering could strengthen a bloodline but might kill those who could not endure it.
• Su Tao inspected a drop of blood from the pool, returned it, and led Ye Lin onward.
• Ye Lin read the records of a Primordial Dragon Whale and a Nine-Colored Phoenix preserved in crystal coffins, including how the dynasty had killed and used their remains.
• Ye Lin and Su Tao passed through rows of Demon Beast corpses and continued deeper into the treasury.

Ye Lin and the others explored the Myriad Demon Imperial Dynasty’s collection of slain Quasi-Saint Demon Beasts, including the Chaos Ancestral Dragon that founded the dynasty. They continued into a chamber filled with wild Spirit Fruits and Spirit Roots.

• Ye Lin, Zhao Wanyi, and Su Tao saw rows of crystal coffins holding more than a thousand Quasi-Saint Demon Beasts slain by successive Emperors.
• Su Tao pointed out a coffin containing the Chaos Ancestral Dragon, whose blood, soul, and bones had formed the foundation of the Myriad Demon Imperial Dynasty.
• Ye Lin examined the dragon’s corpse and remarked that the dynasty had deep foundations.
• Su Tao led the group beyond the coffins to a vast space filled with primal Spirit Fruits and Spirit Roots, including a huge vine bearing dozens of fruits.

Ye Lin and Su Tao found the Chaos Ancestral Dragon essence blood in the treasury, and Su Tao gave Ye Lin most of the treasures. When the four left, they were met by a vast crowd of Demon Race members seeking the Blood Pool.

• Ye Lin read the stele describing the Chaos Ancestral Dragon essence blood and its effects and dangers.
• Su Tao gave Ye Lin two jade bottles of essence blood and kept the third for himself.
• Ye Lin swept up about ninety percent of the treasury’s treasures into his Spatial Ring.
• Ye Lin, Su Tao, and their companions left the treasury and found the Demon Race gathered outside.
• The Demon Race members said they had come only for the Blood Pool and would leave if Ye Lin had taken it.

Ye Lin explained that he bought Zhao Wanyi because she belonged to the ancient Heaven-Devouring Toad Clan and he planned to take her to meet her clansmen. Zhao Wanyi wondered whether she could truly find them, and Ye Lin promised to free her if she was not one of them.

• After Su Tao and the others left the treasure vault, the Demon Race members rushed in and fought over the remaining treasures and Blood Pool.
• Ye Lin asked Su Tao about his plans, and Su Tao said he would first send Su Qing out before discussing what came next.
• Zhao Wanyi asked Ye Lin why he had bought her, since he had never shown interest in her.
• Ye Lin told Zhao Wanyi that her true form was a Heaven-Devouring Toad, one of the Origin Continent's Ten Primordial Races, and that he intended to take her to meet her clansmen.
• Zhao Wanyi asked whether she could really see her clansmen, and Ye Lin said she would learn the truth later and would be free if she was not one of them.

Ye Lin left the Cloud Heaven Secret Realm with Su Qing and Zhao Wanyi, while Su Tao sacrificed his lifespan and cultivation to protect his daughter. Outside the realm, Ye Lin confirmed that his panel had preserved his memories, and a junior brother greeted him about the two women accompanying him.

• Ye Lin sensed that it was time to leave the Cloud Heaven Secret Realm, and Su Tao sent Su Qing and Zhao Wanyi to join him.
• Su Qing began rapidly aging as she was transported, so Su Tao used Blood Oath Protection to restore her by taking the loss of lifespan upon himself.
• Ye Lin promised to care for Su Qing, and he, Su Qing, and Zhao Wanyi disappeared as Su Tao was left old, powerless, and near death.
• Ye Lin emerged from the Cloud Heaven Secret Realm among waiting experts and found that he still remembered everything that happened inside.
• Ye Lin concluded that his panel had protected his memories from outside influence, and someone greeted him as a junior brother while remarking on the two beauties with him.

Ye Lin left the Cloud Heaven Secret Realm with Zhao Wanyi and Su Qing, while Yun Qiyue questioned how they had come out and teased him about the women. He reunited with Iron Hammer, then headed back to Fashion Island with the two women, whose cultivation was suppressed by the stronger world.

• Yun Qiyue found Ye Lin with Zhao Wanyi and Su Qing and asked how he had brought them out of the Cloud Heaven Secret Realm.
• Ye Lin pretended not to know how the women had emerged, and Yun Qiyue led the group away.
• Iron Hammer told Ye Lin that His Majesty had ordered him to wait until Ye Lin came out, and Ye Lin sent him back with a message for Big Brother.
• Yun Qiyue told Ye Lin that the Sword Demon and Blade Fanatic had asked after him before entering seclusion.
• Ye Lin, Yun Qiyue, Zhao Wanyi, and Su Qing headed back to Fashion Island as Zhao Wanyi and Su Qing clung nervously to Ye Lin's clothes.

Ye Lin returned to Meteor Island and learned that his Master and Luo Yao were in the Central Region, where Luo Yao was staying with the Master’s old flame. Suspecting Zhao Wanyi belonged to the Heaven-Devouring Toad Clan, Ye Lin offered to take her to meet her clanspeople and gave her a choice of where to stay.

• Ye Lin arrived at Meteor Island and learned from Yun Qiyue that his Master had been taken to the Central Region for up to a hundred thousand years.
• Yun Qiyue told Ye Lin that Luo Yao was safe in the Central Region, living with the Master’s old flame and bringing them closer together.
• Ye Lin accepted that Luo Yao would stay in the Central Region for now and said he was going out to verify his suspicions about Zhao Wanyi.
• Ye Lin told Zhao Wanyi he would take her to meet her clanspeople and offered her the choice of staying with her or remaining on Meteor Island for ten thousand years.

Ye Lin brought Zhao Wanyi and Su Qing to the Spirit King, where Zhao Wanyi’s blood test revealed an extraordinary connection to the Heaven-Devouring Toad Clan. The Spirit King began explaining that her bloodline differed from the clan’s ordinary collateral branches.

• Ye Lin offered Su Qing two choices, and she chose to follow Zhao Wanyi.
• Ye Lin took the two women through a tear in space to visit the Spirit King.
• Ye Lin asked the Spirit King to determine whether Zhao Wanyi belonged to the Heaven-Devouring Toad Clan.
• Zhao Wanyi dripped her blood essence onto an ancient bronze mirror, which shone with seven-colored light.
• The Spirit King explained that the clan had produced a Saint and said Zhao Wanyi was different from its collateral bloodlines.

Ye Lin brought a girl with genuine Saintly Bloodline to the Spirit King, who revealed she was a descendant of the Saint ancestor. The Spirit King arranged to restore Ye Lin’s shattered Supreme Purity Mystic Bell, while noting how much Ye Lin’s strength had grown.

• The Spirit King told Ye Lin that the girl was a direct descendant of the Saint ancestor and thanked him for finding her before Iron Hammer could.
• Ye Lin asked the Spirit King for help restoring the shattered Supreme Purity Mystic Bell.
• The Spirit King brought Ye Lin and the two women to White King Palace and asked Elder Hu to examine the fragments.
• Elder Hu confirmed the fragments were complete and the treasure could be restored, but requested Ye Lin’s blood essence to bind its volatile Innate spirit to him.
• Ye Lin gave Elder Hu a drop of blood essence, and Elder Hu promised to finish restoring the bell within ten days.
• The Spirit King remarked that Ye Lin’s aura had changed greatly after his trip to the Cloud Heaven Secret Realm.
