As the four alchemists’ nascent Ninth-Grade Profound Pills competed for scarce natural energy, Hun Xuzi sabotaged Old Man Shennong and Yao Wanhuo before Xiao Yan turned Hun Xuzi’s attack against him. With the other two alchemists’ help, Xiao Yan combined all four nascent pills and completed a Ninth-Grade Profound Pill, bringing Pill Rain over the Medicine Realm.

• After several days of refining, Xiao Yan, Old Man Shennong, Hun Xuzi, and Yao Wanhuo each formed a nascent Ninth-Grade Profound Pill, but the Medicine Realm lacked enough natural energy to complete all four.

• Yao Dan ordered the Yao Clan elders and members to channel their power into the Heaven-Transforming Medicine Formation, which absorbed the mountain’s medicinal herbs and awakened immense strength.

The Yao Clan summoned the Medicine Emperor’s Remnant Soul to confront the Hun Clan, while Xiao Lin revealed that he had come intending to devour it and advance to late-stage nine-star Dou Saint. He planned to pressure the Remnant Soul into a deal, but had another route to power if it refused.

• The Medicine Emperor’s Remnant Soul appeared, and its bloodline pressure forced Yao Lao and the Yao Clan members to kneel as Hun Xuzi and Nihility Devouring Flame assessed it.
• Xiao Yan felt the Remnant Soul’s immense power and became more determined to grow stronger, while Nihility Devouring Flame considered devouring it.
• Xiao Lin revealed that he had already reached mid-stage nine-star Dou Saint and believed the Remnant Soul could supply the final third of his progress to the next stage.
• Xiao Lin explained that he had secretly taken control of the Heaven-Transforming Medicine Formation and intended to pressure the Remnant Soul into bargaining for the Yao Clan’s protection.
• Xiao Lin considered the Four Gates of the Dead Realm as an alternative source of power and planned to leave with Yao Lao and Xiao Yan if the Remnant Soul rejected his deal.

The Yao Clan summoned the Medicine Emperor's Remnant Soul to defend them against the Nihility Devouring Flame, but his strength was insufficient to withstand repeated attacks. As the clan members poured their Dou Qi into the formation, the damaged cauldron began to mend and surge toward their enemy.

• Yao Dan activated the Yao Clan's formation and summoned the Medicine Emperor's Remnant Soul, who lamented how far the clan had fallen.
• The Medicine Emperor's Remnant Soul scattered the Nihility Devouring Flame's black flames, but the Nihility Devouring Flame attacked with a giant finger of fire.
• The Medicine Emperor's Remnant Soul blocked the attack with an enormous medicine cauldron, though the impact injured many people and left him at a disadvantage.
• The Nihility Devouring Flame struck the cauldron repeatedly until it was covered in cracks, making the Yao Clan fear their ancestor could not protect them.
• Yao Dan ordered the Yao Clan to pour all their Dou Qi into the formation, and their combined power began repairing the cauldron and sending it back toward the Nihility Devouring Flame.

The Nihility Devouring Flame used the lives of the Yao Clan’s descendants to destroy the Heaven-Transforming Medicine Formation and leave the clan exposed. As the Medicine Emperor's Remnant Soul prepared to sacrifice himself, he sensed that Xiao Lin had taken control of the formation and was offering him a deal.

• The Nihility Devouring Flame devoured roughly seventy percent of the Yao Clan’s descendants outside Yao Mountain and turned their lives into a blood sphere.
• The Nihility Devouring Flame combined the blood sphere with black flames to shatter the Medicine Emperor's Remnant Soul’s cauldron.
• The Nihility Devouring Flame broke the Yao Clan’s Heaven-Transforming Medicine Formation with a palm strike.
• Yao Dan and Yao Wanhuo considered asking Xiao Lin to save some of the Yao Clan’s descendants while they held off the Hun Clan.
• The Medicine Emperor's Remnant Soul sensed that control of the protective formation had passed from Yao Dan to Xiao Lin and received Xiao Lin’s offer of a deal.

Xiao Lin secretly seized control of the Yao Clan’s Heaven-Transforming Medicine Formation and stopped the Medicine Emperor’s Remnant Soul from self-destructing by offering to save the clan in exchange for a deal. After learning that Xiao Lin was a powerful descendant of Emperor Xiao despite lacking Dou Emperor Bloodline power, the Medicine Emperor’s Remnant Soul listened, and Xiao Lin grew confident that his concern for the Yao Clan would help secure the bargain.

• Xiao Lin repaired and took control of the Heaven-Transforming Medicine Formation while Yao Dan mistook the disturbance for damage caused by the battle.
• Xiao Lin contacted the Medicine Emperor’s Remnant Soul through the Formation and offered to save the Yao Clan in exchange for a deal, causing the Remnant Soul to pause his plan to self-destruct.
• The Medicine Emperor’s Remnant Soul asked Xiao Lin who he was, and Xiao Lin appeared in his consciousness and identified himself as a descendant of the Xiao Clan.
• The Medicine Emperor’s Remnant Soul recognized Xiao Lin’s extraordinary strength but questioned his identity because he lacked Dou Emperor Bloodline power.
• Xiao Lin explained that the Xiao Clan had lost its bloodline power, and the Medicine Emperor’s Remnant Soul accepted that he was a genuine descendant of Emperor Xiao.
• The Medicine Emperor’s Remnant Soul compared Xiao Lin’s achievements with the Yao Clan’s and suppressed his anger because he still cared deeply about saving the clan.

Xiao Lin struck a deal with the Medicine Emperor's Remnant Soul, promising to protect the Yao Clan in exchange for what he needed to reach the Late-Stage Nine-Star Dou Saint. As Nihility Devouring Flame attacked the Medicine Emperor's Remnant Soul, the deal set the stage for Xiao Lin to intervene.

• Xiao Lin told the Medicine Emperor's Remnant Soul he would save the Yao Clan and asked for the item he needed to advance his cultivation.
• Xiao Lin explained that he needed greater strength before the coming calamity so he could protect the people he cared about.
• The Medicine Emperor's Remnant Soul accepted Xiao Lin's deal to preserve his clansmen.
• Nihility Devouring Flame ended his hesitation and launched a black-flame attack at the Medicine Emperor's Remnant Soul.
• The Medicine Emperor's Remnant Soul's expression changed as Nihility Devouring Flame's attack neared, signaling Xiao Lin's intervention.

Xiao Lin took control of the Medicine Emperor's Remnant Soul through the Heaven-Transforming Medicine Formation and used its power to confront Nihility Devouring Flame. With the formation no longer blocking them, Xiao Yan challenged Hun Xuzi to resume their interrupted fight, and the two moved away to battle.

• After the Medicine Emperor's Remnant Soul destroyed Nihility Devouring Flame's attack, Nihility Devouring Flame sensed that his opponent had changed and assumed the remnant soul had regained some power.
• Xiao Lin took control of the Medicine Emperor's Remnant Soul through the Yao Clan's Heaven-Transforming Medicine Formation, using Xiao Lin's strength while learning from the Medicine Emperor's Dao.
• Xiao Yan received his grandfather's message and decided to continue his unfinished battle with Hun Xuzi.
• Hun Xuzi accepted Xiao Yan's challenge after Nihility Devouring Flame ignored him, and the two exchanged threats.
• Xiao Yan and Hun Xuzi flew away from the confrontation between Nihility Devouring Flame and the Medicine Emperor's Remnant Soul to continue their battle elsewhere.

Xiao Lin controlled the Medicine Emperor's Remnant Soul as it faced Nihility Devouring Flame, while Xiao Yan and Hun Xuzi fought elsewhere. The remnant soul shielded Yao Mountain with a green lotus, leaving Nihility Devouring Flame uneasy about the battle's sudden turn.

• Xiao Yan and Hun Xuzi moved their battle away from Yao Mountain, while the Yao Clan and Central Plains experts watched the clash between the Medicine Emperor's Remnant Soul and Nihility Devouring Flame.
• Yao Dan and Yao Wanhuo wondered why the Medicine Emperor's Remnant Soul had grown stronger after the Heaven-Transforming Medicine Formation was destroyed, and Yao Dan admitted he did not know.
• Xiao Lin, controlling the Medicine Emperor's Remnant Soul, challenged Nihility Devouring Flame to attack again.
• Nihility Devouring Flame sent giant black-flame fingers toward the Medicine Emperor's Remnant Soul and everyone on Yao Mountain.
• The Medicine Emperor's Remnant Soul released an emerald-green light that grew into a lotus covering Yao Mountain and erased Nihility Devouring Flame's attacks.
• Nihility Devouring Flame was left dumbstruck and began to feel uneasy about the unexpected turn of the battle.

Xiao Lin controlled the Medicine Emperor's Remnant Soul as it battled Nihility Devouring Flame and protected Yao Mountain from the devastation. When neither side could overpower the other, Nihility Devouring Flame tried to devour the green lotus and Yao Mountain, and Xiao Lin sent the growing Mountain and River Cauldron into the black hole.

• The Medicine Emperor's Remnant Soul twisted space and unleashed waves of emerald light against Nihility Devouring Flame's black lotuses.
• The attacks clashed across the Medicine Realm, while the green lotus shielded Yao Mountain and its residents from the destruction.
• After several minutes, Xiao Lin and Nihility Devouring Flame stopped their attacks without either defeating the other.
• Nihility Devouring Flame used Devour Spirit to form an expanding black hole aimed at the green lotus and Yao Mountain.
• Xiao Lin summoned the Mountain and River Cauldron, enlarged it to nearly half the size of Yao Mountain, and sent it into the black hole.

Xiao Lin used the Medicine Emperor's Remnant Soul to destroy Nihility Devouring Flame's black hole, but their battle continued to devastate the Medicine Realm. Nihility Devouring Flame sent someone to steal the Yao Clan's Tou She Ancient God Jade and prepared one final attack before retreating.

• The Medicine Emperor's Remnant Soul destroyed the black hole, scattering emerald-green light across the collapsing Medicine Realm.
• Xiao Lin protected Yao Mountain while controlling the Remnant Soul, and he recognized that the battle had made the realm's natural energy dangerously violent.
• Nihility Devouring Flame realized the Remnant Soul was not weakening and decided he could not afford to keep waiting for reinforcements to arrive.
• Nihility Devouring Flame sent a person outside the Medicine Realm inside to seize the Tou She Ancient God Jade from the Yao Clan's ancestral shrine.
• Nihility Devouring Flame prepared one last attack against the Medicine Emperor's Remnant Soul, planning to retreat if it failed.
