Chapter Summaries

Ye Liang rescued Tuotuo from the demons and brought him to the Mysterious Senior’s residence, where the senior restored Tuotuo’s sealed power. While Ye Liang slept, Tuotuo and the senior argued over their plans and the fate of their fellow demons.

• Tuotuo told Ye Liang that a black-robed woman had eaten his hands and feet, and Ye Liang realized several kinds of demons with different powers were hunting them.

• The burly men watched Ye Liang leave, then laughed in unison and revealed that they had not been as dull as they seemed.
• Unable to find a safe route elsewhere, Ye Liang returned with Tuotuo to the senior’s residence, healed his wounds, and failed to break the power seal.
• The Mysterious Senior arrived and broke Tuotuo’s seal with a glare, then Tuotuo and the senior argued outside while Ye Liang slept.

• Ye Liang woke to find the Mysterious Senior gone, and Tuotuo said the senior had told them to head east for a possible way out.
• Ye Liang and Tuotuo left the basement and cautiously traveled east, while Ye Liang wondered why the senior’s directions differed from what he had said before.
• The Mysterious Senior confronted hidden demons, arguing that they needed a human Sacred Spirit to open the Formation Eye and condemning them for killing one of the two humans.

Ye Liang and Tuotuo climbed a spiraling stone pillar toward the Formation Eye, while Tuotuo concealed his demonic identity and considered killing Ye Liang. They reached the cavern ceiling and found the purple stone marking the Formation Eye.

• They reached the cavern ceiling, where Ye Liang spotted a purple stone protruding from the rock and identified it as the Formation Eye.

Ye Liang shattered the Formation Eye, opening the way out of the sealed domain and allowing Tuotuo to rush toward freedom. The Dragon Soul, revealed as True Person Qionghua, helped close the opening before Tuotuo could escape, and Ye Liang demanded an explanation.

• Ye Liang asked why the human expert trapped inside the demon realm had not broken the seal, and True Person Qionghua questioned whether Ye Liang had really found a human there.

Ye Liang learned that the Demon Space could not have held a human, then returned home after the Dragon Soul reappeared on Bai Li'er and she became empress of the mortal world. Lan Tianyu visited him on behalf of the Guardian Clan and delivered rewards for his help, leaving Ye Liang with pills and books for advancing to Mahayana.

• Ye Liang realized that the great senior in the Demon Space could not have been human, then used the Flying Thunder God to leave as cultivators approached.

• Sylvanas said the Harpies planned to sacrifice the Queen to their god, though she insisted that no gods existed in the world.

Sylvanas climbed down the cliff to rescue Vereesa while Ye Liang fought off the Harpies, but the Harpies’ Dragon God turned out to be a flood dragon seeking revenge on him.

The dragon’s corpse crashed to the ground, leaving Sylvanas, Vereesa, and the Harpies to witness the death of the creature they worshiped as the Dragon God.
