Chapter Summaries

Murong Zhaoxue used the Thick Earth Thunder Suppression Seal to counter Thunder Devouring Ancestor’s spirit absorption array, while Ning Fa and Su Wanwan sought chances to escape. Su Wanwan fled through a spatial rift, and Ning Fa vanished by an unknown method as Murong Zhaoxue pressed her attack on Thunder Devouring Ancestor.

• Thunder Devouring Ancestor activated the Black Thunder Spirit Absorption Array and forced Huo Yong and the Changsong Association cultivators to attack Murong Zhaoxue, who quickly killed them with blue lightning sword qi.
• Ning Fa resisted the array’s attempt to drain his Thunder Spiritual Power by activating his Five Elements Thunder Body, then secretly placed a blue star and a Spiritual Power Mark in the ground.
• Murong Zhaoxue brought out the Thick Earth Thunder Suppression Seal, which destroyed her purple Thunder Flood Dragon and transformed the hall with Earth Attribute power.
• Thunder Devouring Ancestor swallowed an Extreme Yang Pill, raised his strength, and fought Murong Zhaoxue’s stone beasts and blue demonic bird while its divine soul attack also struck Ning Fa and Su Wanwan.
• Su Wanwan used a white fish-shaped jade pendant to summon a Void-Splitting Phantom-Tail Fish and escape through a spatial rift.
• Ning Fa disappeared in a deep-blue glow, leaving Murong Zhaoxue surprised before she sent her blue demonic bird against Thunder Devouring Ancestor.

Ning Fa returned to the cavern after Murong Zhaoxue fled and found the wounded Thunder Devouring Ancestor recovering from the fight. He unleashed his strongest lightning techniques to trap and attack the Ancestor, who answered by activating the third stage of his Lightning Devouring Spiritual Body.

• Ning Fa watched Murong Zhaoxue flee the cavern with severe injuries and concluded that the Thunder Devouring Ancestor had won at great cost.
• Ning Fa entered the cavern and found the Thunder Devouring Ancestor in a compromised state, then dodged his lightning attack and judged his remaining strength.
• The Thunder Devouring Ancestor summoned thunder snakes and a purple lightning vortex, but Ning Fa’s Mysterious Thunder True Body destroyed them and his Divine Firmament Profound Thunder Dharma Form shattered the vortex.
• Ning Fa unleashed the Endless Thunder Prison, binding the Thunder Devouring Ancestor with Thunder Chains and striking him with Punishment Thunder.
• The Thunder Devouring Ancestor’s Purple Thunder Python weakened under the attacks, so he absorbed it and began transforming with the third stage of his Lightning Devouring Spiritual Body.

Ning Fa killed Thunder Devouring Ancestor after countering his thunder-p python transformation with Supreme Water Divine Thunder and Dutian Nether Thunder, then recovered the Taiyin Slaughter God Banner and Thunder Devouring Ancestor's Storage Ring. The banner revealed a hidden Sikong Family tracking restriction, which Ning Fa removed from the banner but not from Hei Yu, before he broke into the ring and uncovered its treasures.

• Ning Fa used the Gui Water Sword and Dutian Nether Thunder to weaken Thunder Devouring Ancestor, whose body burst into fleeing purple lightning snakes.
• Hei Yu activated the Taiyin Slaughter God Banner and destroyed the horned lightning snake that escaped Ning Fa's silver lightning net.
• Ning Fa confirmed Thunder Devouring Ancestor's death and took his Storage Ring, then discovered the banner had revealed a hidden Sikong Family restriction that marked Hei Yu.
• Ning Fa traveled to a deserted island and removed the restriction from the banner, but he could not erase the crescent mark on Hei Yu; he covered Hei Yu in Supreme Metal Divine Thunder armor to conceal its signal.
• Ning Fa resolved to seek high-level Sea Race members to gather source points and advance Hei Yu, then spent nearly half a day breaking Thunder Devouring Ancestor's Storage Ring restrictions and released its treasures.

Ning Fa claimed Thunder Devouring Ancestor’s hoard, including the Thunder Marrow Star Essence and a mysterious Black Stone Slab, then changed his appearance and fled. Murong Zhaoxue suspected he had killed Thunder Devouring Ancestor, while the Sikong Family prepared to pursue him.

• Ning Fa found more than four hundred Mid-grade Spirit Stones, over fifty High-grade Spirit Stones, numerous treasures, and the Thunder Marrow Star Essence in Thunder Devouring Ancestor’s belongings.
• Ning Fa kept the Extreme Yang Pill and sealed away the indestructible Black Stone Slab, suspecting it was the treasure stolen from Fu Ling Hall.
• Ning Fa stored the remaining loot, changed his face and height with the Spirit Shifting Mask, and left in a yellow robe to evade the Sikong Family and Fu Ling Hall.
• Murong Zhaoxue returned to the cavern and learned from her crow that Thunder Devouring Ancestor’s soul aura had vanished and the Feng Que Yuan Stone was lost.
• Murong Zhaoxue considered whether Ning Fa had killed Thunder Devouring Ancestor, recalled her spiritual body’s strange reaction to him, and vanished in a flash of blue lightning.
• At the Sikong Family’s City Lord’s Mansion, Sikong Jing demanded that Sikong Zhibo let her pursue and kill Ning Fa after they learned his location.

Sikong Zhibo and Sikong Jing learned that the Sikong Family’s Fourth Elder would personally pursue Ning Fa to obtain the Heavenly Moon Void God Diagram. Meanwhile, Ning Fa entered the Seventh Layer of Thunder Abyss and intervened in a battle where Sea Race cultivators were besieging Luo Feixuan and her companions, leaving him charging toward their leader.

• Sikong Zhibo warned Sikong Jing that Ning Fa might still be stronger than her and that the Heavenly Moon Void God Diagram was vital to their clan.
• The Sikong Family’s Fourth Elder arrived, explained that the Demon Court had barred them from Dragon Transformation Valley, and announced that he would capture Ning Fa with Sikong Jing accompanying him.
• Ning Fa chose to search the Seventh Layer of Thunder Abyss for Nine Tribulation Thunder Jade and flew toward a battle he spotted at sea.
• Riel ordered Sain to intercept Ning Fa while Riel intensified his attack on Luo Feixuan, Qiu Ruhe, and Teng Zizhen.
• Ning Fa caught Sain’s Blue Spear, shattered his shell magic treasure, and killed him with Silver Lightning.
• Ning Fa collected Sain’s Blue Crystal Core and Storage Shell, then rushed toward Riel and the remaining Sea Race cultivators.

Ning Fa rescued Luo Feixuan and her companions by defeating Riel and driving off the other Third-Rank Sea Race cultivators. The group survived the siege, but Teng Zizhen remained worried about the missing Lord Mingguang.

• Riel used a life-saving item to transform into his Myriad Tides True Form and attacked Ning Fa, who countered with the Mountain Suppressing Thunder Mountain.
• Ning Fa overwhelmed Riel, extracted his natal spirit crystal for the Source-Crossing Heavenly Book, and took his Storage Ring.
• The remaining Third-Rank Sea Race cultivators fled in different directions after sensing Riel's death, and Ning Fa sent Blue Lightning and Little Ice after two of them.
• Luo Feixuan and her companions killed one fleeing Third-Rank Sea Race cultivator and slaughtered the second-rank Sea Race cultivators who had remained behind.
• Qiu Ruhe expressed relief at their rescue, while Teng Zizhen worried about Lord Mingguang, who had been missing since the Sea Mist Mirage separated them on the seventh level.

Ning Fa collected Sea Race spirit crystals and met Luo Feixuan, who asked him to escort her party to the Desolate Bone Corridor on Thunder Abyss’s Seventh Layer. He agreed in exchange for Nine Tribulation Thunder Jade and a drop of high-grade True Rosy Cloud Pill Dew, and the four set out together.

• Qiu Ruhe urged Luo Feixuan to abandon the expedition, but she insisted they reach the Mysterious Golden Spirit Spring within half a month.
• Ning Fa gathered spirit crystals from Sea Race cultivators, bringing his total to ninety-one Third-Tier Origin Points, while Blue Lightning and Little Ice returned with more spoils.
• Luo Feixuan, Qiu Ruhe, and Teng Zizhen thanked Ning Fa, who introduced himself as the lone cultivator Jiang Yun and claimed the natal spirit crystal of the Sea Race cultivator they had killed.
• Luo Feixuan asked Ning Fa to escort them to the Seventh Layer, offering high-grade True Rosy Cloud Pill Dew; Ning Fa instead requested Nine Tribulation Thunder Jade.
• Luo Feixuan agreed to provide the Nine Tribulation Thunder Jade and one drop of high-grade True Rosy Cloud Pill Dew after the journey, and she and Ning Fa signed a spirit contract.
• Ning Fa agreed to escort the group to the Desolate Bone Corridor, and the four set out together.

Ning Fa escorted Luo Feixuan, Qiu Ruhe, and Teng Zizhen through the dangerous Heavenly Punishment Thunderwood Forest and across the Vast Path Black Plains. The group reached the Desolate Bone Corridor, where countless colossal skeletons stretched into the distance.

• Ning Fa easily slew a Sea-Flipping Three-Eyed Rhinoceros, and Luo Feixuan and the others continued toward the seventh layer with him.
• Qiu Ruhe led the group through the Heavenly Punishment Thunderwood Forest beneath a protective cloak, while Ning Fa found the lightning-filled surroundings unusually comfortable.
• Ning Fa defeated several powerful demon beasts as the group descended from the sea peak and reached the Vast Path Black Plains.
• Luo Feixuan used a Blazing Sun Bird treasure to destroy a Vast Spirit Ghost Specter and protect the group from further Wraiths.
• Luo Feixuan announced that the group had reached the Desolate Bone Corridor, an immense expanse of colossal skeletons.

Ning Fa received the Nine Tribulation Thunder Jade from True Lord Mingguang and left Luo Feixuan’s group, then followed a growing resonance from his Supreme Metal Divine Thunder deeper into the Desolate Bone Corridor. He found a powerful golden sand tide that strengthened his thunder as it swept away bones, and rushed toward its source.

• Luo Feixuan used her compass to lead Ning Fa, Qiu Ruhe, and Teng Zizhen through the Desolate Bone Corridor, where they fought skeletal demonic beasts and reunited with her father, True Lord Mingguang.
• Luo Feixuan asked her father to give Ning Fa the promised Nine Tribulation Thunder Jade, and Ning Fa safely seized the lightning-filled treasure and completed the set needed for his Creation Thunder Pool.
• True Lord Mingguang parted ways with Ning Fa, while Luo Feixuan reminded him to visit her on Qiyuan Island for the promised high-grade True Rosy Cloud Pill Dew.
• Ning Fa sensed a powerful metal-attributed treasure calling to his Supreme Metal Divine Thunder and chose to follow the feeling deeper into the corridor.
• A golden sand tide swept through the corridor, shattering skeletal creatures and bones, while Ning Fa’s Supreme Metal Divine Thunder protected him and seemed to grow stronger.
• Ning Fa rushed toward the source of the golden sand tide.

Ning Fa and the Wangyue Merchant Guild reached a vast golden vortex that Luo Feixuan identified as a newly formed Metal Element Spirit Abyss containing the Golden Phase True Source. Their plans to claim it were complicated by the arrival of Aize and powerful Crystal Scale Tribe Sea Race cultivators, who were hostile to True Lord Mingguang’s group.

• Golden sand gathered in a lake, and Ning Fa approached its dangerous vortex, drawn by the Supreme Metal Divine Thunder within him.
• Luo Feixuan and the Wangyue Merchant Guild arrived, and Luo Feixuan and True Lord Mingguang identified the phenomenon as a Metal Element Spirit Abyss containing the Golden Phase True Source.
• True Lord Mingguang planned to help Luo Feixuan absorb the Golden Phase True Source while drawing the Sea Race cultivators away from her.
• Aize arrived with Soren, Quinn, and other Sea Race cultivators, and he told Sak and Colin they could try to absorb the Golden Phase True Source.
• Quinn threatened Luo Feixuan, Aize asked to see her true face, and True Lord Mingguang traded insults with Quinn while secretly ordering his group to prepare for battle.

Aize’s prophecy marked Ning Fa as a future threat to the Sea Race, and the Sea Race cultivators tried to kill him just as the Golden Phase True Source appeared. Ning Fa escaped into the pillar of light and pursued its treasure while Soren followed, but Ning Fa evaded Soren’s powerful attacks as they descended.

• Aize’s Prophecy Talent showed him a human slaughtering Sea Race cultivators, so he ordered Soren and Quinn to kill Ning Fa.
• The Golden Phase True Source appeared in a pillar of metal spiritual power, and Ning Fa rushed toward it as the Sea Race cultivators pursued him.
• Ning Fa used Lightning Escape to evade Soren and Quinn, while True Lord Mingguang delayed Soren and helped Ning Fa reach the pillar.
• Luo Feixuan entered the pillar, and Ning Fa followed, absorbing a sphere of light that strengthened his Supreme Metal Divine Thunder Origin.
• Soren chased Ning Fa inside and attacked with spear phantoms and his Sea Yin Finger, but Ning Fa escaped the strikes by using Lightning Escape and transforming into a Silver Lightning Thread.

Ning Fa reached the Metal Element Spirit Abyss’s core, where absorbing its mysterious light clusters greatly strengthened his Supreme Metal Divine Thunder, and he encountered Luo Feixuan in her true form. After defeating one of two Sea Race cultivators, he left the spring and revealed his real name to Luo Feixuan before heading back toward Soren.

• Ning Fa reached the core spring, where the violent metal spiritual power stripped away his disguise and clothes, and he summoned Blue Lightning to guard his belongings.
• Ning Fa and the naked Luo Feixuan absorbed the spring’s mysterious white light clusters, and Luo Feixuan recognized the Supreme Metal Divine Thunder he wielded.
• When two Third-grade Sea Race cultivators entered the core, Ning Fa killed one with his Geng Metal Sword and drove the other away.
• Ning Fa’s Supreme Metal Divine Thunder rose to the peak of third-grade high-tier before the light clusters ran out, bringing him close to the fourth grade.
• Ning Fa and Luo Feixuan dressed and agreed to keep their encounter secret; Ning Fa disclosed his real name, then disguised himself as Jiang Yun and flew back toward Soren.

Ning Fa lured Quinn into the Heaven Punishment Thunderwood Forest and killed him with the forest’s power and his Supreme Metal Divine Thunder. Soren arrived too late, while Ning Fa escaped with Quinn’s Nascent Soul.

• Quinn ambushed Ning Fa with the Luo Tian Net, but Ning Fa escaped and fled toward the western exit as Quinn pursued him.
• When Soren reported that abyss mayflies had trapped him, Quinn activated his Sea Dragon True Form and began catching up to Ning Fa.
• Ning Fa deliberately led Quinn into the Heaven Punishment Thunderwood Forest, where he trapped him in Endless Thunder Prison and assaulted him with Punishment Thunder.
• Ning Fa used White Emperor Mountain Cleaver to destroy Quinn’s body, then stopped his Nascent Soul’s escape with Law-Breaking Thunder Eyes and killed him with Spiritual Heart Divine Thunder.
• Ning Fa collected Quinn’s Nascent Soul and escaped before Soren arrived; Soren sensed Quinn’s death and roared in fury.

Ning Fa used the Source-Crossing Heavenly Book’s Origin Points to transform the Golden Palace Remnant Spirit into a Golden Palace Spirit Soul, which Hei Yu absorbed. Hei Yu stopped short of reaching the fourth grade because he needed to prepare for a heavenly tribulation, and he urged Ning Fa to stay on Qiyuan Island so he could attempt it at a gold-rich lake despite the danger there.

• Ning Fa gained Origin Points from Quinn’s Nascent Soul and a Sea Race cultivator’s spirit crystal, then traced the Golden Palace Remnant Spirit back to its origin.
• Ning Fa gave the Golden Palace Spirit Soul to Hei Yu, who absorbed it and greatly increased his strength.
• Hei Yu revealed that he had halted his advancement because reaching the fourth grade required a heavenly tribulation, and he warned that the Sikong Family was closing in on his position.
• Hei Yu told Ning Fa that the absorbed Spirit Soul let him suppress his restriction and asked to undergo the tribulation at a lake rich in pure gold spiritual power.
• Ning Fa considered Hei Yu’s request but hesitated because high-grade Sea Race cultivators occupied the dangerous area around Golden Abyss.

Ning Fa learned that the seventh level of the Thunder Abyss held a newly formed Golden Abyss occupied by the Sea Race, where Geng Metal Divine Sand might be found. He joined a group of independent cultivators planning to take part in a counterattack, but Hei Yu warned him that the Sikong Family was nearby, so he headed for the city gate.

• Ning Fa disguised as Zhou Yang learned aboard a Spiritual Ship that the Sea Race had occupied a newly formed Golden Abyss on the seventh level of the Thunder Abyss.
• A gray-robed cultivator said the Golden Abyss might produce Geng Metal Divine Sand, prompting Ning Fa to consider joining the coming counterattack for the material and a chance to advance Hei Yu.
• After returning to Qiyuan Island, Ning Fa agreed to join three independent cultivators and exchanged Spiritual Power Marks with them.
• Ning Fa tried to contact Dream Weaver Fairy with her Sound Transmission Conch but received no response.
• Hei Yu warned Ning Fa that members of the Sikong Family were nearby and activating their restriction, so Ning Fa walked toward the nearest city gate.

Sikong Yuanlie and Sikong Jing searched for Ning Fa after losing the trail of the treasure he had stolen. Unable to pinpoint him, Sikong Yuanlie persuaded True Monarch Mingxiao to arrange a Star Divination through the Hidden Star Pavilion, and they set out to find it.

• Sikong Jing and Sikong Yuanlie lost the trail of Ning Fa and discussed using the Heavenly Wolf Thousand Search Great Method as a last resort.
• Sikong Yuanlie and Sikong Jing met True Monarch Mingxiao, who welcomed them and recalled the favor Sikong Yuanlie had done him.
• Sikong Yuanlie asked True Monarch Mingxiao to help locate Ning Fa, explaining that the Core Formation Cultivator had stolen an important Sikong Family treasure.
• True Monarch Mingxiao offered to search Qiyuan Immortal City, but Sikong Yuanlie argued that Ning Fa could evade guards with disguise techniques.
• Sikong Yuanlie offered to cancel Mingxiao's debt and grant Lei Prison Mountain a slot in the Ancient Wolf Blood Pool if Mingxiao arranged a Star Divination.
• True Monarch Mingxiao obtained his First Elder's approval and led Sikong Yuanlie and Sikong Jing to the Hidden Star Pavilion.

Sikong Yuanlie used Lei Prison Mountain’s divination opportunity to locate Ning Fa, but Fairy Yuanxing refused after reacting badly to the tracking items. The chapter left Ning Fa on Lanxi Island as a beam of starlight pursued him and Fairy Yuanxing appeared before him.

• True Monarch Mingxiao brought Sikong Yuanlie and Sikong Jing to the Hidden Star Pavilion to request a Star Divination Technique session.
• Sikong Yuanlie provided Ning Fa’s portrait and a crescent-shaped tracking disk for Fairy Yuanxing to use.
• Fairy Yuanxing reacted with shock, destroyed the portrait and disk, and refused to perform the divination because the items’ aura made her uncomfortable.
• Yufeng demanded that Sikong Yuanlie explain the aura, while True Monarch Mingxiao tried to calm him.
• Ning Fa sensed a disturbance from the Source-Crossing Heavenly Book, evaded a beam of starlight, and saw it form Fairy Yuanxing’s figure before him.

Ning Fa learned that Fairy Yuanxing might help him return to Cangyuan and arranged to meet Dream Weaver Fairy, but Murong Zhaoxue ambushed him through Su Wanwan and pursued him. Ning Fa resisted her attacks with unusual abilities and escaped her bindings, while Murong Zhaoxue grew increasingly certain he had killed the Thunder Devouring Ancestor.

• Fairy Yuanxing told Ning Fa that someone from the Sikong Family had tried to divine his location, then promised to seek him out in the southern Yuheng Sea during the twin-moon phenomenon if he could help heal her injuries.
• Ning Fa left Lanxi Island and arranged through the Sound Transmission Conch to meet Dream Weaver Fairy on Tidal Sound Island.
• Murong Zhaoxue forced Su Wanwan to lure Ning Fa into an ambush, and Su Wanwan used an Instant Space Crystal to open a passage through which Murong Zhaoxue emerged.
• Ning Fa fled with Little Ice, endured Murong Zhaoxue's phoenix-claw strike and Phoenix Cry Thunder Voice, and escaped farther with Lightning Escape.
• Murong Zhaoxue trapped Ning Fa with her Yin-Yang Twin Binding Rings, but Ning Fa used Supreme Metal Divine Thunder to weaken the restraint and flee again.

Ning Fa stopped fleeing Murong Zhaoxue and fought her on a storm-wracked island, revealing his Divine Firmament Profound Thunder Dharma Form and consuming an Extreme Yang Pill to increase his strength. He trapped Murong Zhaoxue in the Endless Thunder Prison, but she used Lightning Escape to evade his chains as the battle continued.

• Ning Fa chose a deserted island and prepared to fight Murong Zhaoxue after his attempts to flee failed.
• Murong Zhaoxue enclosed them in a powerful formation and demanded Ning Fa reveal his origins, but he summoned his Divine Firmament Profound Thunder Dharma Form.
• Ning Fa swallowed the Extreme Yang Pill, greatly increasing his spiritual power and strengthening his Dharma Form.
• Murong Zhaoxue transformed into a blue Thunder Phoenix and used the Thick Earth Thunder Suppression Seal, but Ning Fa countered it with Supreme Wood Divine Thunder.
• Ning Fa attacked with sword energy and formed the Endless Thunder Prison, while Murong Zhaoxue used Lightning Escape to evade his Thunder Chains.

Ning Fa defeated Murong Zhaoxue in the thunder prison, but the Extreme Yang Pill’s side effects overwhelmed him and led to a sexual encounter. Their union began transforming Murong Zhaoxue’s spiritual body into an Innate Violet Lightning Profound Phoenix Spiritual Body and helped Ning Fa advance his Supreme Fire Divine Thunder to the third grade, while he continued strengthening his Supreme Earth Divine Thunder.

• Ning Fa’s White Emperor Mountain Cleaver shattered Murong Zhaoxue’s forming thunder spirit bird, and the Thunder Chains and Punishment Thunder trapped her until her Mana was nearly exhausted.
• The Extreme Yang Pill’s side effects erupted, causing Ning Fa’s Divine Firmament Manifestation to disperse and leaving him overwhelmed by scorching urges.
• Ning Fa restrained Murong Zhaoxue and forced himself on her; the encounter began transforming her Thunder Phoenix Spiritual Body toward its innate Violet Lightning Profound Phoenix form.
• As Murong Zhaoxue’s spiritual body changed, a mysterious force fed back to Ning Fa and helped his Supreme Fire Divine Thunder break through to the third grade.
• Ning Fa and Murong Zhaoxue continued their encounter, and Ning Fa began using the incoming force to strengthen his Supreme Earth Divine Thunder.
