Chapter Summaries

A reflected attack struck a Star-River Golden Sphere, triggering a chain of explosions that destroyed the Eight-Clawed Demon Beasts, the white-furred giant ape, and Great Immortal Haocang’s soul consciousness. Li Xiaoya remained unconscious in the golden lake as the surrounding space fell into chaos.

• The white-furred giant ape used a mirror-smooth treasure fragment to reflect an Eight-Clawed Demon Beast’s beam, which struck and cracked a Star-River Golden Sphere.
• The damaged sphere collided with another sphere and exploded, setting off a chain reaction that vaporized the three Eight-Clawed Demon Beasts and the white-furred giant ape.
• The explosions shook the Primordial Ruins, and Great Immortal Haocang’s soul consciousness collapsed as the Star-River Golden Spheres exploded while he prepared to attack Li Xiaoya’s soul.
• A golden barrier over the lake protected it from the blasts, while the rune patterns on Li Xiaoya’s body vanished and his motionless body floated to the surface.
• Spatial rifts spread through the region, leaving the surrounding space in chaos.

Li Xiaoya survived Great Immortal Haocang’s failed attempt to possess his soul, but his soul was gravely wounded and he remained unconscious. Haocang’s consciousness vanished, freeing the Three-Headed Charging Bull Beast from its blood restriction, while the Trial Tower collapsed and a handful of cultivators escaped.

• Li Xiaoya drifted unconscious across the golden lake as the barrier absorbed the fading golden liquid and resisted spatial attacks.
• The Three-Headed Charging Bull Beast pursued the fleeing One-Horned Tiger-Lion Beast until violent tremors began and Haocang’s blood restriction disappeared.
• The Three-Headed Charging Bull Beast realized Haocang’s consciousness had likely perished during a failed soul-possession attempt, then turned back toward the Third Layer to seek his treasures.
• The One-Horned Tiger-Lion Beast escaped the Three-Headed Charging Bull Beast and flew onward, unaware of Li Xiaoya’s ordeal.
• The Star-River Golden Spheres destabilized the Trial Tower, destroying its monsters and spaces and releasing the surviving cultivators, including Titan, Ning Mozi, and Prince Modong.
• Li Xiaoya remained trapped in darkness and pain, unable to use his senses as he struggled to keep his severely injured soul from fading.

Xi Lanruyu awoke near the golden barrier after the Star-River Golden Sphere’s explosion and found Li Xiaoya unconscious in a strange valley lake beside the Nine-Layer Lotus. She tried to claim the rare herb, but its protective barrier repelled her magic, and she sent a White Jade Dagger toward it.

• Xi Lanruyu woke beside the golden barrier, discovered her magic power had run dry, and took elixirs to recover.
• Xi Lanruyu found Li Xiaoya unconscious on the golden-light liquid lake and spotted the Nine-Layer Lotus nearby.

• Xi Lanruyu decided to seize the Nine-Layer Lotus before Li Xiaoya awoke, but its white barrier dispelled her blue-light hand.
• Xi Lanruyu sent a White Jade Dagger flying toward the Nine-Layer Lotus.

Xi Lanruyu failed to break the White Barrier protecting the Nine-Heavens Immortalizing Grass and tried to devise another way to claim it while Li Xiaoya remained unconscious. Elsewhere, Prince Modong and Ning Mozi’s forces discovered the Three-Headed Charging Bull Beast near a spatial disturbance and overheard him reveal that Great Immortal Haocang’s treasures lay within it.

• The White Barrier reappeared and shattered Xi Lanruyu’s white-jade knife when she tried to cut the Nine-Heavens Immortalizing Grass, so she decided to leave the unconscious Li Xiaoya alone and seek another way to take the treasure.
• Prince Modong, Ning Mozi, and their companions regrouped after the Trial Tower vanished, mourned their losses, and set out to find the White-Mist Figure and search for treasures.
• Prince Modong and Ning Mozi spotted a vast region of collapsing space and led their group forward under concealment to investigate.
• Demonfire (Fire Demon Lord) warned the group that the Three-Headed Charging Bull Beast was approaching, and Ning Mozi guided everyone down to hide as the beast flew overhead.
• The Three-Headed Charging Bull Beast examined the spatial turmoil and speculated that it might be connected to Great Immortal Haocang’s vanished consciousness.
• Prince Modong and Ning Mozi’s hidden forces heard the beast mention Great Immortal Haocang’s treasures and chose to wait without revealing themselves.

The One-Horned Tiger-Lion Beast was trapped in a formation laid by the Mystic Lake Star Realm cultivators, while the Three-Headed Charging Bull Beast used the Red-Flame Myriad-Beast Armor to force his way through the chaotic space. The Devil Race and Heavenly Demon Race prepared to ambush him when he emerged, but he encountered a violent spatial storm before reaching the golden light ahead.

• The Mystic Lake Star Realm cultivators trapped the injured One-Horned Tiger-Lion Beast in their grand formation and celebrated the chance to obtain his essence blood.
• The Three-Headed Charging Bull Beast donned the Red-Flame Myriad-Beast Armor and burned a passage through the distorted space.
• Prince Modong and Ning Mozi agreed to ambush the Three-Headed Charging Bull Beast when he emerged and to split the seized treasures evenly, while each secretly planned against the other faction.
• The Three-Headed Charging Bull Beast flew through the chaotic space, speculating that Great Immortal Haocang's soul possession had failed and hoping his treasures had survived.
• The Three-Headed Charging Bull Beast spotted warped golden light ahead, but a spatial storm erupted around him before he could reach it.

The Three-Headed Charging Bull Beast forced its way through the spatial storm and attacked the golden barrier enclosing Xi Lanruyu, Li Xiaoya, and the nine-heavens immortalizing grass. As the barrier drew power from the golden liquid, Xi Lanruyu tried to cut the grass with a True Immortal Spirit Treasure, leaving its defenses to respond.

• The Three-Headed Charging Bull Beast endured the spatial storm with its Red-Flame Myriad-Beast Armor and reached the golden barrier.
• Xi Lanruyu recovered eighty percent of her injuries and recognized the beast as it began pounding on the barrier.
• Xi Lanruyu saw the golden liquid replenish the barrier while its light gradually dimmed under the attacks.
• The Three-Headed Charging Bull Beast rested and said it would recover magic power before trying to wear down the restriction.
• Xi Lanruyu considered waking Li Xiaoya, then chose to try taking the nine-heavens immortalizing grass with her blue flying sword.
• The sword struck at the grass's root, and a white light barrier rippled outward.

Xi Lanruyu failed to harvest the nine-heavens immortalizing grass and turned to check on the unconscious Li Xiaoya as the Three-Headed Charging Bull Beast resumed attacking the barrier. A mysterious presence inside Li Xiaoya restrained her, questioned her about what had happened, and began considering whether Li Xiaoya had suffered a soul injury.

• Xi Lanruyu's flying sword was pulverized by the White Barrier, and she hesitated over whether to keep trying for the nine-heavens immortalizing grass.
• The Three-Headed Charging Bull Beast heard Xi Lanruyu, noticed the restrictions weakening, and attacked the golden light barrier again.
• Xi Lanruyu examined Li Xiaoya and found his injuries and magic power restored, but five-colored light shielded his nascent soul.
• Xi Lanruyu probed a Little Pearl in Li Xiaoya's chest, and its voice bound her divine sense and magic power while demanding to know who she was.
• Xi Lanruyu explained the battle and their capture to the voice, which suspected Li Xiaoya had suffered a soul injury and ordered her to be quiet while it thought.

The Five-Element Rainbow Ganoderma restrained Xi Lanruyu and found that Li Xiaoya’s soul was gravely injured, despite his body and vitality being intact. As the Three-Headed Charging Bull Beast rested before attacking the golden barrier again, the Ganoderma remembered that Li Xiaoya had recently acquired something that might help his soul.

• The Five-Element Rainbow Ganoderma finished digesting the Mysterious Nether Rainbowwood Beast’s essence and restrained Xi Lanruyu when she probed his pearl form.
• The Five-Element Rainbow Ganoderma examined Li Xiaoya and found his soul close to dispersing, though his body, magic power, and vitality were unharmed.
• The Three-Headed Charging Bull Beast stopped attacking the golden barrier to recover its magic power underground, while Ning Mozi and Prince Modong agreed to wait a few more days before investigating.
• The Five-Element Rainbow Ganoderma asked Xi Lanruyu about soul-restoring medicines, but she had none and confirmed there was no other way out of the valley.
• The Five-Element Rainbow Ganoderma remembered that Li Xiaoya had acquired something useful for the soul and told Xi Lanruyu.

The Five-Element Rainbow Ganoderma took control of Li Xiaoya’s body and refined the Seven-Colored Hibiscus with many spirit herbs to treat his grievously injured soul. As the Mystic Lake Star Realm cultivators killed the One-Horned Tiger-Lion Beast, the Ganoderma sent the finished medicinal liquid into Li Xiaoya’s forehead, leaving his recovery uncertain.

• The Five-Element Rainbow Ganoderma released Xi Lanruyu and told her to guard Li Xiaoya while it controlled his body.
• The Ganoderma used Li Xiaoya’s magic power imprint to open his Heaven-and-Earth Bag and retrieve the Seven-Colored Hibiscus from its ten-thousand-year mystic ice box.
• The Ganoderma refined the Seven-Colored Hibiscus and numerous spirit herbs into a shining medicinal liquid while Xi Lanruyu protected Li Xiaoya from the Spatial Storm.
• The Mystic Lake Star Realm cultivators exhausted the One-Horned Tiger-Lion Beast’s magic power and killed it with a coordinated barrage of attacks.
• The Ganoderma transformed the medicinal liquid into a Water Arrow and sent it into the space between Li Xiaoya’s brows.

Li Xiaoya regained consciousness while the Five-Element Rainbow Ganoderma used the Seven-Colored Hibiscus to heal his badly injured soul. When the Three-Headed Charging Bull Beast returned to attack the weakening barrier, Li Xiaoya learned the herb had been spent on him instead of being saved for Zhang Hong, but accepted that he needed to recover before he could help her.

• Li Xiaoya recovered his memories, awakened inside a blue light barrier, and recognized the Five-Element Rainbow Ganoderma healing him.
• Xi Lanruyu watched the Golden Light Barrier weaken as the Three-Headed Charging Bull Beast returned and attacked it.
• Li Xiaoya discovered the Seven-Colored Hibiscus was repairing his soul and learned the Five-Element Rainbow Ganoderma had used it to save him.
• Li Xiaoya grew furious that the herb meant for Zhang Hong had been used on him and struggled to take control of his body.
• The Five-Element Rainbow Ganoderma warned Li Xiaoya that the beast was outside and urged him to survive so he could still save Zhang Hong.
• Li Xiaoya calmed down, resumed healing himself, and thanked the Five-Element Rainbow Ganoderma.

Prince Modong and Ning Mozi entered the weakened spatial storm while the Three-Headed Charging Bull Beast continued attacking the golden barrier around the lake. As Li Xiaoya recovered inside, his cultivation and divine sense surged, though he remained unaware that Great Immortal Haocang’s true immortal soul had survived within him.

• Prince Modong and Ning Mozi flew into the spatial storm together and told the other cultivators to attack if the Three-Headed Charging Bull Beast emerged.
• The Three-Headed Charging Bull Beast relentlessly burned the golden barrier, rapidly draining the lake’s golden light, while Xi Lanruyu watched anxiously and studied the Nine-Heavens Immortalizing Grass.
• Li Xiaoya continued recovering his soul by refining the Seven-Colored Hibiscus and medicinal liquid, and discovered that his cultivation had reached the peak sixth layer of the middle Heaven-and-Earth stage and his divine sense had greatly increased.
• The chapter revealed that medicinal power from the Nine-Heavens Immortalizing Grass and the golden spheres had boosted Li Xiaoya, and that Great Immortal Haocang’s true immortal soul remained inside him without his knowledge.
• Prince Modong and Ning Mozi finally reached the center of the spatial storm.

Prince Modong and Ning Mozi watched the Three-Headed Charging Bull Beast weaken the golden barrier, while the Mystic Lake cultivators withdrew from the Primordial Ruins. At the Golden-Light Liquid Lake, Li Xiaoya awakened with his soul restored and recognized the nine-heavens immortalizing grass.

• Prince Modong and Ning Mozi approached the golden barrier, saw the Three-Headed Charging Bull Beast attacking it, and decided to wait nearby.
• The Mystic Lake cultivators chose to preserve their strength and used the Super Teleportation Formation to leave the Primordial Ruins with the One-Horned Tiger-Lion Beast's body secured.
• Xi Lanruyu worried as the Golden-Light Liquid dwindled and Li Xiaoya remained unconscious, but Li Xiaoya then awakened with his soul fully recovered.
• Li Xiaoya emerged from the blue barrier, recognized the nine-heavens immortalizing grass, and Xi Lanruyu asked whether he knew what it was.

Li Xiaoya used the silver scissors entrusted to him by the Ancestor of Ten Thousand Bones to harvest the Nine-Heavens Immortalizing Grass, which he was ordered to retrieve. He refused Xi Lanruyu’s request for a share but promised to report her contribution, just as a thunderclap sounded overhead.

• Li Xiaoya recognized the Nine-Heavens Immortalizing Grass and told Xi Lanruyu he knew how to harvest it.

• Li Xiaoya promised to include Xi Lanruyu’s name when reporting their contributions, and a thunderclap sounded from above.

Li Xiaoya and Xi Lanruyu hid in the lake as the Three-Headed Charging Bull Beast broke into the valley, and Li Xiaoya prepared a surprise attack. After the beast removed his Red-Flame Myriad-Beast Armor and entered the water, Li Xiaoya and Xi Lanruyu launched their ambush, while Ning Mozi and Prince Modong watched from outside.

• Li Xiaoya and Xi Lanruyu concealed themselves in the lake, and Li Xiaoya told her they would ambush the Three-Headed Charging Bull Beast rather than try to escape.
• The Three-Headed Charging Bull Beast shattered the golden barrier and found the treasure valley nearly empty, then discovered the lake’s strange earthcore jade nectar.
• The beast withdrew his Red-Flame Myriad-Beast Armor, and Li Xiaoya began preparing to exploit his reduced strength.
• Ning Mozi and Prince Modong heard fighting erupt inside the valley and saw Li Xiaoya pursue the Three-Headed Charging Bull Beast into the sky.
• The Three-Headed Charging Bull Beast returned to the lake and plunged in to investigate, where Li Xiaoya and Xi Lanruyu sprang their ambush.

Li Xiaoya and Xi Lanruyu ambushed the Three-Headed Charging Bull Beast, using a frozen lake to let Li Xiaoya land a series of powerful sword strikes. After the beast restored his Red-Flame Myriad-Beast Armor and counterattacked with blazing flames, Li Xiaoya severed one of his heads.

• Xi Lanruyu froze the lake as the Three-Headed Charging Bull Beast entered it, and Li Xiaoya burst from the ice to attack with the Fire Dragon Sword.
• Li Xiaoya used the Storm Gold-Light Wings and five-colored spiritual power to batter the beast and wound him before the beast could recover.
• The Three-Headed Charging Bull Beast fled upward and began summoning the Red-Flame Myriad-Beast Armor, but Li Xiaoya struck at him with an enormous sword slash.
• The beast dodged the slash and tried to seize the Fire Dragon Sword, but Li Xiaoya severed his forehoof.
• Li Xiaoya forced the Fire Dragon Sword through the beast's red flames and cut off one of his heads.

Li Xiaoya shattered the Red-Flame Myriad-Beast Armor’s defense and drove the badly wounded Three-Headed Charging Bull Beast into flight, but could not catch it. Prince Modong and Ning Mozi ambushed the beast, and it turned its flames on them.

• Li Xiaoya blocked the beast’s red-light flames with the Heaven-and-Earth Devouring Shield, which shattered, then charged the wounded beast.
• The Three-Headed Charging Bull Beast unleashed more flames and fled, burning its cultivation and lifespan to increase its speed; Li Xiaoya pursued but could not catch it.
• Prince Modong and Ning Mozi attacked the fleeing beast with a giant black spear and a gigantic Two-Headed Fox Demon, stopping its escape.
• Li Xiaoya recognized Prince Modong and Ning Mozi as the beast roared and swept its flame wings toward them, sending an enormous bird-shaped wave of fire in their direction.

Li Xiaoya used a concealed ice trap to prevent the Three-Headed Charging Bull Beast from teleporting, then beheaded it and captured its demon nascent infant and Demon Core. After Ning Mozi and Prince Modong approached, Prince Modong attacked Li Xiaoya to seize the spoils, and Li Xiaoya raised his Fire Dragon Sword to block.

• Li Xiaoya disguised his ice magic and secretly planted a blue ball beneath the Three-Headed Charging Bull Beast, trapping it in an ice mountain when it tried to teleport.
• Li Xiaoya struck down the Three-Headed Charging Bull Beast, severed its remaining heads, and seized its body and Red-Flame Myriad-Beast Armor.
• Li Xiaoya trapped the beast’s fleeing demon nascent infant and Demon Core in a five-colored net, then sealed them inside a crystal.

• Prince Modong attacked Li Xiaoya with a giant black spear to claim the treasures, while Ning Mozi held back; Li Xiaoya swung his Fire Dragon Sword to block.

Li Xiaoya and Ning Mozi prepared to join forces against Prince Modong, but Modong escaped while Li Xiaoya stopped Ning Mozi from pursuing him. The group searched the ruined Mountain Valley and found nothing, while keeping the Nine-Heavens Immortalizing Grass secret; Ning Mozi then asked Li Xiaoya whether his earlier claim was true.

• Li Xiaoya deliberately let Prince Modong's immense black spear escape undamaged to conceal the Fire Dragon Sword's power, while Ning Mozi confronted Modong and proposed joining forces with Li Xiaoya.
• Prince Modong pretended his attack had been a misunderstanding, then fled when Xi Lanruyu emerged from the Mountain Valley and distracted Li Xiaoya and Ning Mozi.
• Li Xiaoya stopped Ning Mozi from chasing Modong and insisted he had something to tell him.
• Modong suspected the others were searching for treasure in the Mountain Valley, but they found nothing among its ruins.
• Li Xiaoya warned Xi Lanruyu to keep the Nine-Heavens Immortalizing Grass secret, and she agreed not to tell Ning Mozi.
• Ning Mozi asked Li Xiaoya whether what he had told him earlier was true.

Li Xiaoya and Ning Mozi suspected Prince Modong was conspiring against them, then emerged from the Spatial Storm to find him stirring the Heavenly Demon Race against Li Xiaoya over the treasures he had claimed. The dispute erupted into a confrontation, and a surprise attack struck at Li Xiaoya from behind.

• Li Xiaoya and Ning Mozi discussed their suspicions about Prince Modong as they and Xi Lanruyu crossed the Spatial Storm.

• Li Xiaoya and Ning Mozi revealed that Prince Modong had attacked them, while Prince Modong armed himself and prepared to fight over the treasures.
• As Prince Modong and Li Xiaoya faced off, a pair of flaming swords flew toward Li Xiaoya's back.

Li Xiaoya used a substitute to lure the Fire Demon Lord into attacking, then struck from above and severed one of his arms. He killed the Fire Demon Lord with a second blow and appeared before Xi Lanruyu, who feared he had discovered her own attempt to seize the Heaven-and-Earth Bag.

• The Fire Demon Lord decapitated Li Xiaoya’s apparent body and tried to take his Heaven-and-Earth Bag as Prince Modong, Ning Mozi, and the other cultivators began fighting.
