This incentive triggers widespread slaughter. Demon Sect Sequence members, most of whom are Great Ability Realm experts, begin hunting Limitless Sacred Land elders and disciples, placing even elders below the Sixth-Level Great Ability Realm in danger. The Limitless Sacred Land is initially disadvantaged because its first and second Sequences are unable to participate.
The situation changes when Ye Lishuang, the Limitless Sacred Land’s second Sequence, appears. Her powerful Spirit Fox Bloodline naturally enchants everyone around her, causing disciples—even high-level elders—to become obsessed and lose control of themselves. The Limitless Sacred Lord personally orders her to restrain her bloodline, allowing the disciples to regain their senses. Despite her seemingly seductive and delicate appearance, Ye Lishuang is an extremely ruthless and formidable fighter. After leaving the sacred land, she attacks the Ten Extremes Demon Sect, killing dozens of Venerable Realm experts and four Great Ability Realm powerhouses while seriously injuring two Demon Sect Sequence members, nearly killing the third Sequence. Her victory shocks both sides and demonstrates that her beauty conceals terrifying combat ability.
In response, the Ten Extremes Demon Sect sends out even more powerful forces. The Limitless Sacred Land then produces another astonishing figure: an inconspicuous, farmer-like young man carrying a heavily rusted spear. New disciples cannot sense anything extraordinary about him, but older disciples immediately recognize the weapon as Star-Splitter, the spear once wielded by the legendary Xuanyuan Che. His appearance causes the entire sacred land to erupt in excitement and fear, setting up the next major development.

Character Developments and Interactions

  • Lin Feng continues preparing for greater growth, shifting from lightning cultivation to an Emperor-grade demonic cultivation scripture.
  • Ye Lishuang is introduced as both alluring and deadly. Her Spirit Fox Bloodline affects nearly everyone around her, but she can also suppress it when commanded by the Limitless Sacred Lord.
  • The Limitless Sacred Lord maintains authority over Ye Lishuang and the sacred land’s disciples, while relying on powerful hidden figures to counter the Demon Sect.
  • Xuanyuan Che is introduced indirectly through his iconic weapon, Star-Splitter, suggesting that the ordinary-looking young man is connected to a legendary and potentially overwhelming fighter.
  • The conflict between the two factions becomes increasingly personal and violent, with both sides deploying elite Sequence members and targeting powerful elders.

Significant Themes

  • Hidden power beneath appearances: Ye Lishuang’s enchanting beauty conceals her brutality, while the farmer-like spear wielder appears completely ordinary despite his connection to a legendary weapon.
  • Escalating factional conflict: The Demon Sect and Limitless Sacred Land move from hostility to unrestricted warfare, with rewards and revenge driving mass violence.
  • The importance of bloodlines and physiques: Lin Feng’s multiple physiques and Ye Lishuang’s Spirit Fox Bloodline show how innate talents shape cultivation potential and battlefield strength.
  • The contrast between allure and danger: Ye Lishuang’s charm attracts and overwhelms others, yet her true nature on the battlefield is merciless and frightening.
  • Foreshadowing of legendary figures: The revelation of Star-Splitter hints that Xuanyuan Che may become a decisive force in the war.

  • He interprets the battle as a sign that Saint Hong Xi may be nearing the end of his lifespan and is urgently choosing a successor to nurture.
  • The Demon Lord regrets that Jing Wuhui, the Ten Extremes Demon Sect’s strongest sequence disciple, remains in seclusion. He believes Jing Wuhui, who possesses a Demonic Dao Holy Body and has already reached the Sixth-Level Great Ability Realm, could easily kill Xuanyuan Che and Ye Lishuang.
  • Despite losing interest in merely killing the Limitless Sacred Land’s remaining disciples and elders, the Demon Lord orders the complete destruction of the Sacred Land and all allied forces, offering rewards for those who participate.

Significant Themes

  • Succession and survival: The early Holy Son Battle appears connected to the survival of the Limitless Sacred Land and Saint Hong Xi’s declining condition.

Key Plot Points and Events

  • Lin Feng completes an extended period of secluded cultivation focused on the Emperor-grade technique, the Great Wilderness Four Extremes Qi Demon Scripture.
  • He successfully cultivates the First Extreme, strengthening his left arm. Further progress requires rare blood from the Ancient Demon Race—royal, imperial, or Emperor blood—which is extremely difficult to obtain because the race has nearly disappeared.

Significant Themes

If he activates all four of his constitutions, he would possess power comparable to a god or devil and would be virtually invincible beneath the Saint Realm.
  • Saint Hong Xi announces the beginning of the Holy Son Battle. Xuanyuan Che, the first-ranked candidate, is initially given the right to wait while Ye Lishuang and Lin Feng fight.
  • Before the first match begins, Lin Feng makes a startling proposal: he wants to fight both Ye Lishuang and Xuanyuan Che simultaneously.

Chapter Summary

  • Lin Feng is confirmed as the Limitless Sacred Land’s supreme prodigy. After defeating Xuanyuan Che and Ye Lishuang—even when they fought together—he proves himself the undisputed strongest young disciple and the natural choice for Saint Heir. Elders who had watched him grow from an obscure outer-sect disciple are deeply moved by his transformation.
  • The elders and Saint Hong Xi recognize Lin Feng’s extraordinary potential. The Half-Saint elders praise Saint Hong Xi’s judgment in supporting Lin Feng, believing that Lin Feng may eventually surpass the current Saint and lead the Sacred Land to greater heights. His victory gives the Limitless Sacred Land hope amid its uncertain future.
  • The Saint Heir battle concludes. Saint Hong Xi ends the battle and restores the surrounding space. Xuanyuan Che and Ye Lishuang accept their defeat with dignity, bowing respectfully before departing. Their former dominance has been broken by Lin Feng’s rise, leaving the spectators impressed and conflicted.
  • Lin Feng’s appointment is announced throughout the Azurebillow Domain. Saint Hong Xi publicly declares him the Limitless Sacred Land’s Saint Heir, causing powerful factions to take notice. Some view the appointment with interest, while hostile forces—particularly the Demon Sect—see the Sacred Land’s future vulnerability as an opportunity to strike once Saint Hong Xi dies.
  • Lin Feng receives the Saint Heir’s Robe. The jade-colored robe is not merely ceremonial clothing but a Saint Realm defensive treasure, strengthened by successive Saints of the Sacred Land. It can potentially withstand an attack from a Saint Realm expert and serves as a crucial life-saving artifact. Wearing it dramatically enhances Lin Feng’s presence and symbolizes his elevated status.
  • The Sacred Land celebrates Lin Feng’s elevation. Elders and disciples congratulate him, acknowledging that his position and potential now stand above even those of the current Limitless Sacred Lord.
  • Lin Feng is granted extraordinary access to the treasure vault. As a reward, Saint Hong Xi allows him to use all resources in the Sacred Land’s treasure vault for thirty days. This is an unparalleled privilege, motivated by Lin Feng’s need for enormous quantities of Origin Stones, spiritual medicines, pills, and other resources to cultivate his Desolate Ancient Sacred Body and numerous other supreme constitutions. Lin Feng is excited because the resources should significantly increase his strength.
  • Xuanyuan Che and Ye Lishuang receive a lesser reward. Although defeated, they are still recognized as the Sacred Land’s foremost prodigies after Lin Feng. Saint Hong Xi grants each of them three days in the treasure vault. They accept without protest, understanding that the reward is generous despite being far smaller than Lin Feng’s thirty-day privilege.
