Chapter Summaries

Elder Sha led over a dozen cultivators away from Redglow City while Black Old Devil learned that more Heavenly Earth Demon Sect disciples had been killed and ordered the sect to strengthen its defenses. After Li Xiaoya’s group and Dongfang Yi’s group waited several days without drawing out their enemies, both decided to take the fight to the sect’s holdings.

• Elder Sha dismissed Black Old Devil’s authority and led his group toward the sea to visit a place before investigating the attacks.
• A masked cultivator reported that two disciples had been killed near Heavenly Talisman Mountain, and Black Old Devil learned Elder Sha had already departed with over a dozen elders.
• Black Old Devil ordered high-ranked cultivators to stay inside the sect, reinforced its outposts, and prepared its defensive restrictions.
• After waiting several days, Li Xiaoya concluded the sect was keeping its cultivators inside and led his group toward the Heavenly Earth Demon Sect.
• Dongfang Yi’s group realized their lure had failed, and Li Xiangxiang proposed attacking branch altars, shrines, and vassal lineages instead.

Li Xiaoya and his companions infiltrated the Heavenly Earth Demon Sect by forcing their way through the Heaven-Flipping Waterfall, then traveled through its territory while avoiding detection. At the sect headquarters, Black Old Devil learned that attacks on Redglow City and the Ke Household might be part of a plan to draw away his forces, while Li Xiaoya’s group ran into trouble.

• Li Xiaoya led his companions underwater in a golden barrier and used his strength to push through the Heaven-Flipping Waterfall undetected.
• Li Xiaoya submerged the group to avoid passing Heavenly Earth Demon Sect cultivators, who were sent to reinforce the sect’s defensive restrictions amid rumors of an impending Mystic Heaven Way attack.
• Li Xiaoya and his companions surfaced later and moved through a dark primeval forest, avoiding the busy skies above the sect’s territory.
• The Masked Female Cultivator told Black Old Devil and the Second Elder that Redglow City and the nearby Ke Household had been attacked, with most of their high-ranked cultivators killed.

• Black Old Devil warned that Ouyang Haotian would surely come if war began, as Li Xiaoya and his companions ran into trouble.

Li Xiaoya and his companions planned a diversion to get past the Heavenly Earth Demon Sect’s reinforced defenses and rescue someone, while the Mystic Heaven Way prepared to attack. Li Xiaoya’s opening strike damaged the defensive wall but failed to break it, and the group fled as the sect’s cultivators converged.

• Li Xiaoya rejected Dong Santong’s suggestion to rush the wall and accepted Liu Xian’er’s plan to lure the defenders out instead.
• Master Long arranged the Mystic Heaven Way’s forces for war and assured the elders that Li Xiaoya’s report about the Heavenly Earth Demon Sect was reliable.
• Black Old Devil worried about Elder Sha’s absence, then suspected that Elder Sha had avoided his duties to pursue another goal.
• A Spirit Communion Stage attack struck the Heavenly Earth Demon Sect’s second defensive wall, but its activated restrictions held.
• Li Xiaoya revealed that he had fired the God-Devouring Fire Dragon Wave to establish their might, then led his companions away as the defenders approached and bells rang out.

Li Xiaoya and his companions circled the Heavenly Earth Demon Sect’s defended wall, drawing out Elder Earthsplitter and a bald elder while Black Old Devil watched from the Heavenly Earth Tower. After the two elders pursued them toward the horizon, Li Xiaoya and his companions returned, but the elders did not.

• Li Xiaoya’s golden fists struck the Black Light Barrier, and he and his companions continued circling the wall as the sect’s disciples held their fire.
• Black Old Devil ordered the elders to watch and wait, warning that the attackers might be luring them into an ambush.
• Elder Earthsplitter and a bald elder flew out to test the five intruders, while the other elders watched through a giant mirror.
• Li Xiaoya evaded Elder Earthsplitter’s enormous Iron Pestle and fled toward the horizon, drawing both elders after him.
• Explosions sounded beyond the horizon, and Li Xiaoya and his companions reappeared by the wall without the two pursuing elders.

Black Old Devil learned that Elder Earthsplitter and his companion had died, then led the sect elders to confront Li Xiaoya's group. The group evaded the tracking Soul-Chasing Cannons with a Five-Colored Light Barrier, and Li Xiaoya and Dong Santong rushed out toward the sect.

• The Masked Female Cultivator confirmed that Elder Earthsplitter's and his companion's Primordial Spirit Life-Bound Lamps had gone out, and Black Old Devil told the elders they had fallen.

• Li Xiaoya's group sheltered inside a Five-Colored Light Barrier, after which Li Xiaoya and Dong Santong rushed out and disappeared.

Li Xiaoya and his companions used decoys to draw Black Old Devil and the elders away from the Heavenly Earth Tower while Li Xiaoya and Dong Santong searched for a way inside to rescue Li Xiaoya’s father. As the defenders faced fresh distractions, a giant puppet advanced toward the wall.

• Li Xiaoya’s group’s plan relied on killing two elders to make Black Old Devil fear an ambush and lure the defenders away from the tower.
• Li Xiaoya and Dong Santong turned invisible and flew along the wall, searching for a quiet place where Dong Santong could use his restriction-ignoring ability to enter.

• Li Mother, Liu Xian'er, and Zhang Hong disguised themselves, threw vibrating thunder spheres at the wall, and retreated as the cannons fired at them.
• After the cannon barrage ended, the elders spotted a Hundred-Zhang Super Humanoid Puppet carrying an enormous iron hammer as it approached the wall.

A regenerating giant puppet created by Second Better distracted the Heavenly Earth Demon Sect’s defenders while Li Xiaoya and Dong Santong searched for a way into the sect. They found a damaged cannon covered by black cloth and used an explosion to draw away its guard, then vanished beside the cannon.

• Black Old Devil ordered the Black Dragon Cannons to blast the colossal puppet, but it regenerated and continued attacking the wall.
• Second Better’s puppet transformed its hammer into a rotating drill while Liu Xian'er, Zhang Hong, and Li Mother prepared to keep harassing the defenders.
• Li Xiaoya and Dong Santong flew along the wall and spotted the apparently broken Black Dragon Cannon number six hundred twelve, whose rear was covered by black cloth.
• After seeing a messenger disciple guarding the cannon, Li Xiaoya arranged an explosion to lure him away.
• Dong Santong used his divine ability to transport himself and Li Xiaoya behind the cannon’s black cloth, and the two vanished.

• Black Old Devil ordered his forces to watch for suspicious activity, then agreed to confront the attackers and ask what they wanted.
• Li Mother, Liu Xian'er, and Zhang Hong stopped firing their spirit cannon and decided to ignore Black Old Devil while giving Xiao Ya time to act.

Li Xiaoya and Dong Santong infiltrated the Third Defensive Line and set out to rescue Li Xiaoya’s father from the 198th floor of the Heavenly Earth Tower. After nearly being detected by the Black Demon Young Master and the Third Elder, Li Xiaoya found a hidden cultivator guarding the stairs and suspected the man might be connected to their plans.

• Dong Santong carried Li Xiaoya through the Third Restriction and told him the Black Demon Young Master might sense them because of the resonance between their light and dark immortal roots.
• Li Xiaoya and Dong Santong agreed that Li Xiaoya would continue toward the 198th floor while Dong Santong waited near the 100th floor to help him escape.
• As Li Xiaoya climbed the tower, the Third Elder sensed an unusual aura and probed below, but Li Xiaoya retreated before either he or the Black Demon Young Master discovered him.
• Li Xiaoya entered the tower and reached the 197th floor, where he sensed an invisible Golden Core cultivator hiding by the stairs.
• The hidden cultivator muttered that someone had not arrived yet, and Li Xiaoya wondered whether the man was involved in the situation.

Li Xiaoya infiltrated the Heavenly Earth Tower to reach a sealed chamber while the Heavenly Earth Demon Sect learned that its Fourth Elder had died. He destroyed the chamber door and found a dark-faced man inside, whose identity remained unknown.

• Li Xiaoya told Sun Ling's brother to leave the Heavenly Earth Tower and return to Sky City, then hurried toward the sealed chamber despite its alarm restrictions.
• The Second Elder received the Fourth Elder's extinguished Primordial Spirit Life-Bound Lamp and reported the death to Black Old Devil, who feared the sect faced ruin.
• Li Xiaoya reached the sealed chamber on the one hundred and ninety-eighth floor, killed its four Golden Core Stage guards, and struck the black-purple door with the Fire Dragon Sword.
• The door split apart and collapsed, revealing an ordinary-looking, dark-faced middle-aged man who asked Li Xiaoya who he was.

Black Old Devil realized the apparent attack outside was connected to Li Xiaoya and rushed back after learning that intruders had breached Li Muzhi’s Cave Abode Restriction. Li Xiaoya reached his imprisoned father, who finally recognized him after Xiaoya revealed his true appearance.

• Black Old Devil recognized a connection to Li Xiaoya and ordered the Second Elder to search outside while he returned to the Heavenly Earth Tower to stop the infiltrators.
• The Second Elder kept the elders at the restriction instead of sending them on a dangerous search, while Liu Xian'er, Li Mother, and Zhang Hong stayed outside and prepared to bombard the defenders.
• Li Mother, Liu Xian'er, and Zhang Hong fired another cannonball at the city wall to keep the defenders occupied.
• Li Xiaoya found Li Muzhi shackled in the cave abode, but Li Muzhi mistook him for another deceptive rescuer and refused to leave.
• Li Xiaoya called Li Muzhi Father and revealed his true appearance, leaving Li Muzhi stunned that his son had come to rescue him.

Li Xiaoya freed his father, Li Muzhi, from the Heavenly Earth Tower, then discovered the woman imprisoned beside him was a dead mortal disguised as Li Mother. He emerged with Li Muzhi into the ongoing battle between Dong Santong and Black Demon Young Master, where the Third Elder and others had gathered overhead.

• Li Xiaoya cut Li Muzhi's chains and tried to carry him out, but Li Muzhi insisted that his wife was imprisoned nearby.

• Li Xiaoya carried Li Muzhi through the tower wall and encountered Dong Santong fighting Black Demon Young Master as the Third Elder and others surrounded them.
• An elder noticed Li Xiaoya emerge from the tower.

Li Xiaoya escaped the tower with Li Muzhi over his shoulder as the Third Elder and the Heavenly Earth Demon Sect pursued him, while Dong Santong fought the Black Demon Young Master to cover their flight. Cornered between the Black Old Devil ahead and the Third Elder behind, Li Xiaoya charged toward the Black Old Devil and launched his Water-Element God-Devouring Fire Dragon Wave.

• Li Xiaoya charged the Black Old Devil and blasted the blue ball of light at him as the Black Old Devil prepared his saber treasure.

Li Xiaoya and Dong Santong escaped Black Old Devil’s pursuit by using a devastating two-stage attack that wrecked much of the Heavenly Earth Demon Sect. As they fled, Black Old Devil targeted Li Xiaoya with his saber, but Dong Santong disrupted the saber’s copies and drew Black Old Devil’s fury.

• Li Xiaoya’s Water-Element God-Devouring Fire Dragon Wave froze the area, giving him and Dong Santong time to flee while Black Old Devil escaped with his Wing Ancient Treasure’s Teleportation Divine Ability.
• Li Xiaoya detonated the hidden power inside the ice pillar, blasting nearby Heavenly Earth Demon Sect cultivators and damaging buildings, though no one was killed.
• As Black Old Devil’s pursuers closed in, Li Xiaoya began forming another Water-Element God-Devouring Fire Dragon Wave, but Black Old Devil attacked him with the Black-Purple Long Saber Magic Treasure.
• Li Xiaoya teleported out of the saber’s path, then used the Fire Dragon Sword to repel it and knock it away.
• Black Old Devil split the Black-Purple Long Saber Magic Treasure into four copies, but Dong Santong’s Moonlight Crescent Saber dispelled them and forced the saber back into one.
• Furious, Black Old Devil vowed to kill Dong Santong and began forming hand seals for another divine ability.

Li Xiaoya and Dong Santong tried to escape Black Old Devil and his pursuers, but the city’s internal defenses blocked their route. As the Second Elder and Black Old Devil attacked them, Dong Santong reached for Li Xiaoya, leaving the two men facing a deadly clash.

• Li Xiaoya and Dong Santong changed direction, but the Second Elder pursued and confirmed that the city’s internal defenses were active.

Li Xiaoya and Dong Santong fought off Black Old Devil and the Second Elder’s attacks, then escaped through the barrier with Dong Santong’s barrier-ignoring ability. The Heavenly Earth Demon Sect leaders pursued them and ordered the Black Dragon Cannons to fire as they tried to open the barrier.

• Dong Santong was caught by the blood-red aura, but Li Xiaoya struck the ghostly hand with his Shaking-Heaven Divine Fire Staff and drove off the phantoms with its flames.

• Black Old Devil commanded the Heavenly Earth Demon Sect disciples to fire their Black Dragon Cannons at the fleeing pair.

Li Xiaoya and Dong Santong escaped the Heavenly Earth Demon Sect’s attack and reunited with Li Mother’s group, who prepared a formation to cover their retreat. As Black Old Devil’s force pursued them, Liu Xian’er sensed many High-Ranked Cultivators approaching from ahead.

• Li Xiaoya and Dong Santong fled the Black Dragon Cannons after Li Xiaoya signaled Li Mother’s group to withdraw, while Li Xiaoya checked that Li Muzhi was alive.
• Black Old Devil and more than twenty elders pursued them, and Black Old Devil admitted he cared more about obtaining Li Xiaoya’s treasure than protecting the sect.

• Liu Xian’er sensed many High-Ranked Cultivators approaching from ahead, leaving the group surrounded by danger.

Li Xiaoya reunited with Master Long and the Mystic Heaven Way, who moved to attack Black Old Devil’s outnumbered forces while Li Xiaoya and Dong Santong returned to the battlefield. Li Xiaoya left Li Muzhi with Li Mother, but learned Uncle-Master Qianshan might be in seclusion for centuries, leaving his father’s restrictions unresolved.

• Li Xiaoya recognized Master Long and the Mystic Heaven Way as reinforcements, and Master Long revealed they had come to exploit the Heavenly Earth Demon Sect’s weakened state.
• Dong Santong warned Li Xiaoya that Uncle-Master Qianshan might be in seclusion for hundreds of years, preventing him from removing Li Muzhi’s restrictions.
