  • Duan Jingtao denies encountering the Ancient Demon Race, contradicting Gu Tianming’s report that the demons had filled half the battlefield with black qi.
  • The Ancient Battlefield gate fluctuates again, and Lin Feng emerges with Yuan Mo and Mo Chen. Their survival is surprising, especially since Yuan Mo and Mo Chen are too weak to have escaped the Ancient Demon Race unaided.

  • Ten Extremes Demon Lord: Acts aggressively and attempts to force information from Lin Feng, provoking the Limitless Sacred Lord.
  • Gu Tianming and the other Holy Lords: Become increasingly suspicious because Duan Jingtao’s and Lin Feng’s accounts do not align with the reports of the Ancient Demon Race’s appearance.

  • The other Holy Lord Realm experts distrust Lin Feng’s account and demand that he be subjected to a soul search to uncover the truth about the Ancient Demon Race and the opportunities he may have obtained.
  • The Ten Extremes Demon Lord openly threatens the Limitless Sacred Lord, insisting that Lin Feng be handed over for interrogation.
  • The Limitless Sacred Lord firmly protects Lin Feng. Drawing his Sacred Mirror and releasing overwhelming power, he declares that anyone who attacks his disciple will be treated as an enemy of the entire Limitless Sacred Land.
  • Fearing a direct confrontation with the Limitless Sacred Lord and possible retaliation from the righteous sacred lands, the Ten Extremes Demon Lord withdraws. The surviving factions also abandon their attempts to interrogate Lin Feng.
  • The deaths of the Ten Extremes Demon Sect’s prodigies, including Xiang Long, are confirmed when their Soul Lamps go out.
  • The remaining Holy Lords propose sealing the Undying Ancient Battlefield to prevent any Ancient Demons from escaping.

  • The group waits until the battlefield’s thirty-six-hour opening period ends, hoping Nie Xinghai will emerge, but he never appears.
  • When the gate closes, Nie Xinghai’s Soul Lamp is extinguished. This does not prove he is dead; rather, the closing of the separate dimension cuts off the Soul Lamp’s connection to him.
  • The chapter ends with the Holy Lords preparing to leave and report the Ancient Demon Race to the Saint Realm experts.

Character Developments

  • Lin Feng: Remains composed while withholding—or possibly simply lacking—complete information about the Ancient Demon. His intense Soul Lamp activity suggests he gained extraordinary experiences or opportunities, making him the focus of suspicion.
  • Limitless Sacred Lord: Demonstrates absolute confidence and fierce loyalty toward his disciple. His willingness to risk all-out war establishes him as one of the strongest and most dominant figures in the Azurebillow Domain.
  • Ten Extremes Demon Lord: Reveals his lingering resentment and inferiority toward the Limitless Sacred Lord, whom he repeatedly lost to in the past. Though aggressive, he ultimately retreats because he fears fighting alone.
  • Nie Xinghai: Becomes the chapter’s central mystery. As the Limitless Sacred Land’s top Core Disciple, his unexplained disappearance strongly suggests he may have encountered a secret realm, inheritance, or other extraordinary event rather than simply dying.
  • Other Holy Lords: Initially support pressuring Lin Feng but retreat when the Limitless Sacred Lord makes the consequences clear. They remain deeply concerned about the Ancient Demon Race and the losses suffered by their factions.

Significant Themes

  • Protection and factional loyalty: The Limitless Sacred Lord prioritizes defending his disciple, even at the risk of war.
  • Power and political deterrence: The confrontation shows that strength determines whether accusations can be acted upon; the other Holy Lords back down because they fear the Limitless Sacred Lord’s power.
  • Mystery and uncertainty: Lin Feng’s incomplete testimony and Nie Xinghai’s disappearance leave major questions about what truly occurred inside the battlefield.
  • The limits of life and death: The extinguishing of a Soul Lamp is shown not to be definitive proof of death when dimensional barriers sever the connection.
  • Consequences of ancient powers: The possible survival of a Saint Realm Ancient Demon elevates the incident from a personal adventure to a threat affecting the entire Azurebillow Domain.

Character Interactions

  • The Ten Extremes Demon Lord directly challenges the Limitless Sacred Lord, though their old rivalry and the difference in confidence ultimately force him to withdraw.

  • The Holy Lords cooperate at the end, waiting for Nie Xinghai and preparing to seal the battlefield and report the Ancient Demon threat to higher-level Saint Realm authorities.

His ambition and focus remain practical, however, as he concentrates on mastering the new ability rather than speculating about its ultimate limits.
  • Duan Jingt​​ao: Though previously regarded as possessing exceptional half-step Great Emperor potential because of his Saber Saint inheritance, he is overshadowed by Lin Feng’s superior talent.

Chapter Summary

Key Plot Points and Events

  • Tyrant Blade Ancestor eagerly accepts the mission to travel to the Great Yan Dynasty, seeing it as a chance to avenge the Tyrant Blade Sect’s slain prodigy and erase the humiliation suffered at the hands of the Limitless Sacred Land.
  • On the way, he encounters Meng Tianyang, a powerful Sequence Disciple of the Ten Extremes Demon Sect who possesses the mysterious Curse Demon Bloodline.
  • Meng Tianyang decides to accompany Tyrant Blade Ancestor, viewing the Great Ability Realm expert from the Limitless Sacred Land as an opportunity to test and sharpen his own strength.
  • The two arrive at the Great Yan Dynasty with an overwhelming demonic presence. Meng Tianyang loudly challenges the hidden expert from the Limitless Sacred Land, and his voice alone injures many people throughout the dynasty.
  • Lin Feng and the forces of the Great Yan Dynasty emerge from the imperial palace. Elder Song warns Lin Feng that Meng Tianyang is one of the Ten Great Sequence Disciples and possesses a forbidden physique.
  • Tyrant Blade Ancestor recognizes Lin Feng as the person who killed the Tyrant Blade Sect’s most promising disciple. He angrily denounces Lin Feng and the Limitless Sacred Land.
  • Meng Tianyang assumes Lin Feng is merely a low-level cultivator and demands that the Great Ability Realm expert appear.
  • Lin Feng calmly reveals that he is the mysterious powerhouse who killed three Venerable Peak Realm Demon Sect elders.
  • Both Meng Tianyang and Tyrant Blade Ancestor are shocked, especially Tyrant Blade Ancestor, who cannot reconcile Lin Feng’s present strength with the weak disciple he remembers from the past.

Character Developments

  • Tyrant Blade Ancestor: His longstanding hatred of Lin Feng and the Limitless Sacred Land intensifies. Though he is a Great Ability Realm expert, he behaves cautiously around Meng Tianyang, recognizing the Sequence Disciple’s extraordinary potential. His confidence collapses into disbelief when Lin Feng claims responsibility for killing three Venerable Peak Realm experts.
  • Meng Tianyang: He is introduced as arrogant, confident, and eager for combat. He looks down on ordinary cultivators and even treats a Great Ability Realm opponent as a convenient training tool. His confidence is challenged when Lin Feng reveals his true identity and strength.
  • Lin Feng: He displays complete composure despite the overwhelming enemy presence. His calm revelation establishes that he has grown enormously stronger and is no longer the insignificant disciple Tyrant Blade Ancestor remembers.
  • Elder Song and the Great Yan forces: They recognize the danger posed by Meng Tianyang and respond with seriousness, contrasting Lin Feng’s calmness with their anxiety.

Significant Themes
