Chapter Summaries

Lu Lin and Luo Siqing entered the Moyun Realm with the Demonic Sect’s expedition to destroy its powerful forces and seize its luck. After arriving separately from the others, Lu Lin found local martial artists surrounded by Dog-headed People and prepared to intervene.

• Tuoba Feng explained that the expedition had one year to destroy the Moyun Realm’s luck-bearing forces and collect luck before the realm’s will could produce Golden Core-level threats.

Lu Lin saved Li Chang'an and his companions, learned that humanity was oppressed by the Demon Race and Half-Demons, and followed them to Hidden Blade Valley. After mistaking the enemy’s Demon King for a Golden Core-level threat, he learned it was only comparable to a second-rank great demon and began studying the valley’s martial arts.

• Lu Lin killed more than a hundred Dog-headed People and learned from Li Chang'an that they were Half-Demons who hunted humans.
• Li Chang'an explained the martial realm titles and the history of the Moyun Realm, where the Seven Demon Courts and Heavenly Demon Palace ruled over humanity.
• Li Chang'an asked Lu Lin to help protect Hidden Blade Valley from the Greedy Wolf Demon Court’s army, and Lu Lin entered the valley to assess the threat.

• Lu Lin asked the valley’s martial artists to demonstrate their techniques, gave Li Chang'an and others pointers, and confirmed their martial arts shared the same foundations as his own.

Lu Lin awakened the Ancestral Martial Stele, extracted its incomplete ancient inheritance, and copied two martial arts for Li Chang'an’s people. As the Greedy Wolf Demon Court attacked the valley, Lu Lin prepared to face Meng Du and the invading army.

• Li Chang'an led Lu Lin to the Ancestral Martial Stele, where Lu Lin used his Blood Auras to awaken it and extract its inheritance with the Martial Dao Melting Furnace.

• Meng Du ordered the assault on the city wall, then sent his two bodyguards to attack alongside him after the defenders’ arrows killed hundreds of Dog-headed People.

Lu Lin revealed his overwhelming strength, defeating Meng Du and the two Dog-headed People Demon Kings after luring them away from their army. He poisoned Meng Du and arranged to enter the Greedy Wolf Imperial Capital disguised as a captured prisoner.

Lu Lin killed a powerful Dog-headed Person during the four sects’ assault on Greedy Wolf Imperial Capital, then followed the resonance between Ancestral Martial Steles to uncover a third one. The steles led him to the devastated Yaoguang Imperial Capital, where he sensed that a Green Duckweed Sword Sect cultivator had taken another stele and charged after him.

• Lu Lin used the Mysterious Cold Flood Dragon Blood Aura and Demonic Ape Mountain-Crushing Palm to kill a second-rank high-grade Dog-headed Person, then escaped the capital unnoticed.
• Lu Lin watched the four great sects destroy Greedy Wolf Imperial Capital before leaving to search for the Ancestral Martial Stele.

Lu Lin killed a Green Duckweed Sword Sect cultivator and his two guards, then discovered new martial arts knowledge and a powerful concealment art among the Ancestral Martial Steles. After tracking the remaining steles to Heavenly Demon Palace, he hid nearby and began using cultivation time to learn the Black Tortoise Breath Concealment Art.

• Lu Lin disguised himself as Chu Zong and ambushed a Sword Sect cultivator, killing him and both of his guards.
• Lu Lin searched the cultivator’s storage pouch and found two Ancestral Martial Steles containing information about martial techniques and the Black Tortoise Breath Concealment Art.
• Lu Lin gathered all five steles, whose resonance led him to Heavenly Demon Palace, where he suspected the remaining four steles were held.
• Lu Lin judged that Heavenly Demon Palace’s defenses and experts made a direct attack too dangerous, so he hid in a forest nearby to wait for an opportunity.
• Lu Lin began spending cultivation time to learn the Black Tortoise Breath Concealment Art.

• Lu Lin spent three hundred years creating the Black Tortoise Illusion Breath Art, which let him conceal and transform the essence of his aura.

The Five Great Sects gathered their forces and began a frontal assault on the Heavenly Demon Palace, while Lu Lin and Luo Siqing were forced out of hiding by Ye Tianjian. The palace’s Dragon-Phoenix Guardian Array repelled wave after wave of attacks, and Fuling said the Sacred Heart Pavilion would be key to breaking it.

• Ye Tianjian and the other sect leaders exposed hidden disciples, forcing Lu Lin and Luo Siqing out of the forest with a rain of sword-like debris.
• Lu Lin used the Black Tortoise Illusion Breath Art to blend in among the martial artists, while Luo Siqing joined the gathered cultivators.
• The Five Great Sects sent martial artists to attack the Heavenly Demon Palace’s foundations as its Half-Demons answered with arrows and javelins.
• Ye Tianjian, Fuling, Ye Aoxue, and Luo Siqing unleashed powerful attacks, but the Dragon-Phoenix Guardian Array blocked them all.
• Fuling explained that the array drew energy from the giant spirit vein and said the Sacred Heart Pavilion would likely be essential to breaking it.

Sacred Heart Pavilion used twelve Array-Breaking Thunder Beads to breach Heavenly Demon Palace’s defensive array, allowing the Five Great Sects to launch their assault. As the battle began turning against the defenders, the mutant demon beasts summoned a golden flood dragon from an ancient scroll, leaving the invaders facing a new threat.

• Fuling persuaded Sacred Heart Pavilion to use its Array-Breaking Thunder Beads in exchange for the other sects leading the next attack.
• The thunder beads broke open a gap in the Dragon-Phoenix Guardian Array, and Ye Tianjian led the sect cultivators through it.
• Five powerful mutant demon beasts engaged Ye Tianjian, Ye Aoxue, Fuling, Qiao Feipeng, and a Heavenly Evil Sect cultivator while the other invaders fought the defenders.

• The Six-Winged Centipede and four other top-tier beasts offered blood essence to an ancient Flood Dragon Scroll, which released a terrifying golden flood dragon phantom.

The Five Great Sects overwhelmed Heavenly Demon Palace’s defenders after a Pseudo Golden Body fighter defeated the Flood Dragon Essence Spirit and slew the demon beast leaders. As the cultivators began looting the fallen palace, Lu Lin used the five Ancestral Martial Steles to locate an unremarkable side hall and rushed toward it.

• Ye Tianjian and the other prodigies attacked the Golden Flood Dragon, but its power pushed them back until Fuling ordered Du Mo to fight.

• The Flood Dragon Essence Spirit exhausted its energy and returned to the Ancient Scroll, while the demon beast leaders tried to flee.
• Du Mo killed the Howling Moon Silver Wolf, the Six-Winged Centipede, and the remaining leaders, and the Five Great Sects swept away Heavenly Demon Palace’s resistance.
• The cultivators rushed to loot the palace, and Lu Lin used the five Ancestral Martial Steles to find a side hall and hurried toward it.

Lu Lin discovered a hidden treasure vault beneath a palace and seized four Ancestral Martial Steles and chests of Blood Crystals before Ye Tianjian attacked him. After Lu Lin wounded Ye Tianjian, a powerful Pseudo Golden Body from the Green Duckweed Sword Sect intervened, leaving Lu Lin facing a formidable new opponent.

• Lu Lin ignored a Puppet Sect youth's demand for help, destroyed one of his puppets, and entered the palace while the youth remained trapped fighting two Minotaurs.
• Using the resonance of the Ancestral Martial Steles, Lu Lin found a hidden passage beneath a side hall and uncovered a treasure vault.

• As Lu Lin pursued the injured Ye Tianjian, a burly young man struck him with overwhelming force and revealed himself as the Green Duckweed Sword Sect's hidden Pseudo Golden Body.

Lu Lin escaped Ye Tianjian and a Pseudo Golden Body youth after stealing treasure and two supreme-grade flying swords, then changed his appearance and headed back toward the Heavenly Demon Palace to pursue a Purple Lightning Thunder Leopard puppet. Ye Tianjian abandoned the chase when he sensed another enemy nearby and vowed to reclaim his swords.

• The Pseudo Golden Body youth overpowered Lu Lin, who seized several chests of treasure and fled through a hidden passage before counterattacking Ye Tianjian and escaping with two supreme-grade flying swords.
• The youth pursued Lu Lin out of the palace, where Lu Lin killed the Puppet Sect youth and his metal puppet with one palm before fleeing into the sky.

• Lu Lin headed back to seek a flesh-and-blood puppet refined from a Purple Lightning Thunder Leopard that he had spotted during his escape.

Lu Lin observed a Purple Lightning Thunder Leopard puppet and used it to comprehend the beast’s spirit before retreating to the Greedy Wolf Demon Court’s spirit vein. After obtaining the final four Ancestral Martial Steles, he learned how to transform Blood Aura into True Aura, but discovered that the dangerous process required both extraordinary forces of heaven and earth and a Martial Dao Golden Body expert to protect him.

• Lu Lin found a Puppet Sect woman fighting a Blood Baleful Demon Sect disciple with a Purple Lightning Thunder Leopard puppet and hid nearby to study it.
• Lu Lin spent three hundred years of cultivation time comprehending the puppet’s faint remaining divine charm and successfully grasped the Purple Lightning Thunder Leopard’s spirit.
• Lu Lin left the Heavenly Demon Palace spirit vein and chose the Greedy Wolf Demon Court’s spirit vein as his base while waiting for the realm’s luck to gather.
• Lu Lin found a cave residence at the spirit vein’s core and obtained the inheritance from the final four Ancestral Martial Steles.
• Lu Lin learned that transforming Blood Aura into True Aura required extreme forces of heaven and earth and the protection of a Martial Dao Golden Body expert, neither of which he knew how to secure.

Lu Lin used the Martial Dao Melting Furnace and thousands of years of cultivation time to fuse his nine Blood Auras into a new True Aura. After discovering that spiritual energy could serve as the external force needed to merge the final Mysterious Cold Flood Dragon Blood Aura, he completed the transformation and emerged with a powerful, perfected body.

• Lu Lin raised his Purple Lightning Thunder Leopard Blood Aura to thirty-six patterns, bringing all nine Blood Auras to the Xiantian limit.
• Lu Lin used the Mysterious Cold Flood Dragon Blood Aura as an external force to fuse the other eight Blood Auras, combining them into a single pale-red energy over thousands of years.
• Lu Lin replenished his cultivation time by absorbing the spiritual energy in resources from the Heavenly Demon Palace, then realized he still needed a way to fuse the Mysterious Cold Flood Dragon Blood Aura.
• Lu Lin drew spiritual energy into his body and used its corrosive force to drive the final fusion, enduring intense pain and repeated attempts.
• After spending another three thousand years of cultivation time, Lu Lin fused the Mysterious Cold Flood Dragon Blood Aura with the other eight and underwent a seven-day transformation into a seamless, powerful state.

• Lu Lin killed the male cultivator with a punch, then threw a crystalline spear that killed the fleeing female cultivator.

• Lu Lin salvaged spiritual energy from his broken shield, sorted the two Heavenly Evil Sect cultivators’ belongings, and raised his remaining cultivation time above eight thousand years.
• Lu Lin used a supreme-grade magic sword to mine the unclaimed spirit vein, collecting Spirit Stones for half a year while waiting for the Spirit of Luck to condense.

He learned that the Five Great Sects had provoked those prodigies by threatening to desecrate the Heavenly Demon Burial Ground, gathering them in one place.

• Lu Lin destroyed the Dog-headed People's Eldest Prince's bloodline attack, killed him with a finger, and used the Luck Bead to absorb his dense silver luck.
• A wolf-headed prodigy, a snake woman, and a winged man emerged from secluded cultivation with powerful gains and set out to take revenge on the Outer Realm Devils.
• After a month passed without a Spirit of Luck appearing, Lu Lin flew to the Heavenly Demon Palace spirit vein and found it nearly deserted.
