Chapter Summaries

Li Xiaoya and his companions fought through waves of wood-type demon beasts as they advanced toward a gathering of Heaven-and-Earth Realm beasts. They reached a row of Wooden Dragon Turtles, and Li Xiaoya considered using his Fire Dragon Sword to absorb their dragon blood but hesitated to reveal the treasure.

• Li Xiaoya used his Cross Flame Slash to tear through the vine net and blast the demon beasts pursuing the group.
• Di Long Yunyi summoned eight flying swords and joined them with his Blue Light Giant Sword to break through the Wood-Singing Beasts’ sonic attacks.
• Ailishan led the group along the opening Di Long Yunyi had created while he moved to the rear and attacked the beasts around them.
• Li Xiaoya and his companions broke through several waves of demon beasts and flew five or six hundred li toward a large gathering of Heaven-and-Earth Realm beasts.
• The group found several dozen Heaven-and-Earth Realm Wooden Dragon Turtles blocking their path, and Li Xiaoya wondered whether to use his Fire Dragon Sword on them.

Li Xiaoya and the other cultivators tried to escape pursuing demon beasts by charging past a group of Wooden Dragon Turtles, but the turtles had lured them into an encirclement. The turtles activated a formation that trapped the group behind rings of dark green light screens.

• Li Xiaoya recalled that the Fire Dragon Sword could evolve by absorbing the essence blood and souls of dragon-blooded demon beasts, and planned to seek them on the Dragon Profound Continent after saving Zhang Hong and meeting Xian'er.
• The Wooden Dragon Turtles attacked the approaching cultivators with dark green beams, and Ailishan used her Jade Ruyi to deflect the barrage.
• With pursuing beasts closing in, Di Long Yunyi ordered the group to scatter and fly past the slow-moving, heavily defended turtles rather than fight them.
• Li Xiaoya sensed danger after passing the first turtles and spotted dozens more ahead, forming an encirclement with the turtles behind them.
• The Wooden Dragon Turtles chanted together, joined their power into a circular formation, and raised rings of dark green light screens that trapped the cultivators.

Li Xiaoya unleashed a colossal transformation and overwhelmed the Wooden Dragon Turtles that had trapped the cultivators. He broke through their formation and charged onward while the Human-Headed Bird-Bodied Monster watched in shock.

• Di Long Yunyi and the other cultivators discovered that the Wooden Dragon Turtles had linked their defenses and were attacking them with barrages of dark green blades.
• Dong Liuzu urged the group to retreat, but Di Long Yunyi called for them to attack together and break through one turtle.
• Li Xiaoya grew to several thousand zhang tall and ignored the turtles’ blades as he charged at one of them.
• Li Xiaoya tore through the turtle’s shell, lifted the ten-thousand-zhang beast overhead, and hurled it into the surrounding turtles, breaking their formation.
• Li Xiaoya seized two more turtles by their tails and smashed them aside as he led the group onward.
• The Human-Headed Bird-Bodied Monster watched Li Xiaoya’s rampage through a mirror and murmured in shock.

Li Xiaoya led the group through the demon-beast hordes toward the entrance to the Twelfth Layer, using two Wooden Dragon Turtles as weapons. At the ancient tree, he discovered a powerful tree spirit and began clashing with it as his companions fought to protect him.

• Li Xiaoya charged through the demon beasts while swinging two Wooden Dragon Turtles, and Di Long Yunyi and the others followed behind him.
• Li Xiaoya sensed a powerful presence ahead and led the group toward a colossal ancient tree that Di Long Yunyi identified as the entrance to the Twelfth Layer.
• A hundred Heaven-and-Earth Realm demon beasts attacked, but Li Xiaoya hurled the Wooden Dragon Turtles into their ranks and at the tree; the tree's roots caught the turtles before they struck it.
• Di Long Yunyi, Hai Kuliuyin, Dong Liuzu, Ailishan, and Qiong Nanqi fought the surrounding demon beasts while Li Xiaoya advanced and struck at the tree with his Golden Light Giant Sword.
• Li Xiaoya recognized the ancient tree as a several-hundred-thousand-year-old tree spirit, which answered his sword strikes with enchanted leaves and roots.

Li Xiaoya and the other cultivators fought the Ten-Thousand-Year Tree Spirit, surviving its corrosive venom and exploiting its immobility to strip away its leaves. The spirit surrendered and opened a five-colored Teleportation Gate, and the cultivators flew inside.

• The Ten-Thousand-Year Tree Spirit sprayed corrosive venom at Li Xiaoya and the others, but Li Xiaoya blocked it with an earthen wall and dodged the remaining attack with his Storm Gold-Light Wings.
• Di Long Yunyi, Ailishan, Qiong Nanqi, Hai Kuliuyin, and Dong Liuzu surrounded the tree spirit and wounded it while avoiding its venom.
• Li Xiaoya joined the assault, and the cultivators discovered that venom falling on the tree spirit healed its wounds.
• Li Xiaoya ordered the others to strip away the spirit's leaves, and they blasted nearly a fifth of them off despite its pleas for mercy.
• The Ten-Thousand-Year Tree Spirit split its trunk to reveal a five-colored Teleportation Gate, and Di Long Yunyi led Li Xiaoya and the others inside.

Li Xiaoya and the others entered the thirteenth layer after the Ten-Thousand-Year Tree Spirit let them pass, while a furious master punished the Monster responsible for the failed defense. The cultivators received their rewards and flew to a hill to recover, unaware of eerie lightning hidden in the clouds above.

• Li Xiaoya warned the Ten-Thousand-Year Tree Spirit not to interfere, and the cultivators passed through the teleportation gate into the thirteenth layer.
• The Monster's master berated him for letting the humans through and blasted him into a tree; afterward, the Monster swore the humans would not pass the fourteenth layer and stirred the demon beasts and landscape into motion.
• Li Xiaoya and the others arrived on a silent, ruined stretch of land and received one million race contribution points and a cultivation session in Dao Mountain's Five Elements Divine Pool for clearing the twelfth layer.
• The cultivators praised Li Xiaoya's strength, and he said he mainly cultivated body-tempering abilities before steering them toward recovering their magic power.
• Di Long Yunyi led the group toward a nearby hill, while eerie lightning flickered unseen in the clouds overhead.

Li Xiaoya and his companions reached the Thirteenth Layer, discovered that its spiritual qi contained harmful demonic spiritual energy, and began recovering with elixirs instead. When ominous clouds gathered overhead and lightning struck their defenses, a colossal pair of lightning-filled eyes appeared in the sky, revealing the start of the layer’s trial.

• The Ancestor of Snow Domain sensed that the group had reached the twelfth layer, warned himself that the Thirteenth Layer’s Heavenly Thunder Beast would be difficult, and returned to meditation.
• Li Xiaoya and the others established defensive restrictions on the Thirteenth Layer and rested while recovering their magic power.
• Li Xiaoya detected demonic spiritual energy in the local spiritual qi, and Di Long Yunyi and the others warned the group to reduce their absorption.
• Li Xiaoya searched the area with his Divine Sense and found no spirit herbs or spiritual plants, making him doubt whether the Eighteenth Layer held the Twin-Pole Netherflower.
• Li Xiaoya noticed strange dark clouds gathering overhead, and the others stopped meditating as gray-white lightning blasted through several of their barriers.
• A colossal pair of lightning-filled eyes appeared in the sky, and the cultivators realized the Thirteenth Layer’s trial had begun.

The cultivators attacked a pair of enormous eyes in the clouds, revealing a Heavenly Thunder Beast whose lightning blast overwhelmed their assault. Hai Kuliuyin and Dong Liuzu were struck as the beam tore through the battlefield, leaving a vast, smoking gouge in the ground.

• Di Long Yunyi attacked the gray lightning net, and the other cultivators joined him in breaking it apart.
• Li Xiaoya sent dozens of Golden Light Fists toward the eyes in the clouds.
• The Heavenly Thunder Beast revealed its gigantic head and fired a massive lightning beam at the cultivators.
• The cultivators fled, but the beam struck Hai Kuliuyin and Dong Liuzu and destroyed their defensive treasures and barriers.
• The lightning blast shook the earth and carved an enormous, deep gouge across the ground.

Li Xiaoya rescued Dong Liuzu from the Heavenly Thunder Beast’s lightning while Hai Kuliuyin fled by crushing his Red Token. The survivors decided to escape the beast rather than fight it, but it pursued them and prepared another devastating attack.

• The Heavenly Thunder Beast’s lightning badly wounded Hai Kuliuyin and Dong Liuzu, and Hai Kuliuyin escaped the Thirteenth Layer by crushing his Red Token.
• Li Xiaoya opened a spatial vortex, rescued the falling Dong Liuzu, and blocked a barrage of lightning while protecting him.
• Dong Liuzu woke, thanked Li Xiaoya, and crushed his Red Token to leave the Thirteenth Layer.
• Qiong Nanqi proposed retreating, but Di Long Yunyi and Li Xiaoya argued that they should search for another way to reach the next layer.
• Ailishan led the group away from the Heavenly Thunder Beast, which pursued them and opened its maw to unleash another lightning beam.

Li Xiaoya and the others fled the Heavenly Thunder Beast’s relentless attacks until he led them underground to escape. Meanwhile, Hai Kuliuyin and Dong Liuzu emerged from the Hell Tower badly injured, and the Ancestor of Snow Domain rescued Dong Liuzu; the chapter ended with gray lightning boring through the earth after the fleeing cultivators.

• The Heavenly Thunder Beast chased Li Xiaoya, Di Long Yunyi, Qiong Nanqi, and Ailishan with lightning orbs and gray bolts, while Li Xiaoya dodged with Immortal Flash Carefree Journey.
• Deep inside the Hell Tower, a hidden figure cursed the Heavenly Thunder Beast for tormenting humans despite being imprisoned.
• Hai Kuliuyin emerged from the Hell Tower injured, and the Ancestor of Snow Domain gave him a Heaven-and-Earth Divine General token and information about his reward for reaching the Thirteenth Layer.
• Dong Liuzu emerged gravely wounded, and the Ancestor of Snow Domain caught him and treated his injuries.
• Li Xiaoya led Di Long Yunyi, Qiong Nanqi, and Ailishan underground, but the Heavenly Thunder Beast blasted gray lightning through the earth toward them.

Li Xiaoya and the others escaped the Heavenly Thunder Beast’s Gray Lightning by burrowing through the earth under his protection. The beast revealed that destroying five Five-Element Pagodas would open the way to the next layer, but Li Xiaoya suspected a trap and refused to trust him.

• Gray Lightning pursued Di Long Yunyi, Qiong Nanqi, and Ailishan underground after Li Xiaoya escaped ahead of them.
• Li Xiaoya gathered earth spiritual qi, slowed the lightning, and placed protective barriers around the three cultivators so they could keep burrowing.
• The Heavenly Thunder Beast stopped its attack and claimed the cultivators had to pass a trial to clear the Thirteenth Layer.
• Li Xiaoya warned the others not to answer the beast and led them dozens of li through the earth.
• The Heavenly Thunder Beast shouted that they must find and destroy five Five-Element Pagodas to reach the next layer.
• Qiong Nanqi and Ailishan considered investigating the pagodas, but Li Xiaoya insisted the beast was luring them into a trap.

Li Xiaoya concluded that the Heavenly Thunder Beast was restrained and had tried to trick them into freeing it by destroying the Five-Element Pagodas. After recovering, the group searched for the pagodas and found the Golden Pagoda, while the beast watched them approach.

• Li Xiaoya persuaded the group that the Heavenly Thunder Beast had held back because restrictions prevented it from killing them or descending from the sky.
• Li Xiaoya suspected the beast had lied about the route downward and wanted the group to destroy the Five-Element Pagodas to free it.
• The group agreed to find the Five-Element Pagodas, then rested in Li Xiaoya's hidden cave for more than three days to recover.
• The group followed a growing concentration of metal spirit energy toward a vast golden light, while the Heavenly Thunder Beast watched and recognized their destination as the Golden Pagoda.
• The group reached a towering golden pagoda standing atop a mountain peak ringed by deep trenches.

Li Xiaoya and the others discovered that the golden pagoda was an exceptional-grade True Immortal Spirit Treasure guarding the Heavenly Thunder Beast, and they resisted the temptation to take it. After Guagua awakened and identified it as the Five-Element Heavenly Venerable Heaven-Shaking Tower, Li Xiaoya learned its origins and claimed he had found a way to reach the next layer.

• Di Long Yunyi and the others inspected the golden pagoda and realized none of them knew enough about formations to open its defenses.
• Li Xiaoya warned everyone not to destroy the pagoda, since it might be imprisoning the Heavenly Thunder Beast.
• Qiong Nanqi sent his divine sense toward the pagoda, but its golden rays destroyed the probing sense before it could reach the treasure.
• Li Xiaoya cautioned the group that taking the exceptional-grade treasure might release the Heavenly Thunder Beast, and they agreed to look for the other Five-Element Pagodas instead.
• Guagua awakened, recognized the pagoda as the Five-Element Heavenly Venerable Heaven-Shaking Tower, and told Li Xiaoya about its origins and abilities.
• Li Xiaoya announced that he had found a way for the group to reach the next layer.

Li Xiaoya and his companions reached the Fourteenth Layer by activating the Five-Element Heavenly Venerable Heaven-Shaking Towers, leaving the Heavenly Thunder Beast trapped behind. They received their rewards and arrived in a beautiful mountain realm, where Di Long Yunyi looked at Li Xiaoya with a cold glint in his eyes.

• The Heavenly Thunder Beast furiously battered the five-colored barrier after Li Xiaoya and the others vanished from the Thirteenth Layer.
• Li Xiaoya used the Five White-Scaled Heaven-Breaking Beasts to help activate all five towers and open the teleportation formation to the Fourteenth Layer.
• Li Xiaoya, the other cultivators, and the five beasts appeared on the Fourteenth Layer and received a cultivation opportunity, two million race contribution points, and eligibility to become squad captains.
• Qiong Nanqi and the others celebrated their rewards while Li Xiaoya thought about the four layers still ahead.
• Di Long Yunyi admired the Fourteenth Layer’s scenery and gave Li Xiaoya a cold look.

Li Xiaoya, Di Long Yunyi, and Ailishan continued through the fourteenth layer after Qiong Nanqi chose to leave, following a trail of abundant spiritual qi. They discovered an immense, flickering flower that Di Long Yunyi identified as the Twin-Pole Netherflower.

• The Ancestor of Snow Domain was delighted that Li Xiaoya and the others had reached the fourteenth layer, while a hidden figure and the gray-eyed voice each reacted to their progress.
• Qiong Nanqi refused to risk going farther and crushed his red token to leave the Hell Tower.
• Li Xiaoya, Di Long Yunyi, and Ailishan agreed to continue searching for the route to the fifteenth layer, despite Qiong Nanqi's departure.
• Di Long Yunyi explained that reaching the fifteenth layer could make him a Divine General Official, and the three set out toward the strongest spiritual qi.
• The three found an immense flower flickering between the peaks, and Di Long Yunyi and Li Xiaoya exclaimed that it was the Twin-Pole Netherflower.

Li Xiaoya, Di Long Yunyi, and Ailishan discovered a gigantic Twin-Pole Netherflower and negotiated how to divide it. As they flew down to harvest it, Li Xiaoya sensed danger, and a hideous cry shook the valley.

• Di Long Yunyi identified the Twin-Pole Netherflower, and he, Li Xiaoya, and Ailishan flew toward it.
• The three saw the flower growing in a vast basin filled with five-element netherwater and intense spiritual energy.
• Li Xiaoya revealed that he had come to find the flower and asked the others to let him have it, but Di Long Yunyi insisted they share it.
• Di Long Yunyi explained the flower's supposed benefits, and the three agreed to harvest it together.
• As they descended into the basin, Li Xiaoya sensed danger and warned Di Long Yunyi and Ailishan; a hideous cry rang out and the valley shook.

Li Xiaoya, Di Long Yunyi, and Ailishan were trapped inside a confinement formation set by the Man-Faced Crow, which had used the twin-pole netherflower as bait. Though Li Xiaoya’s attacks failed to break the strengthened barrier, he refused to leave without obtaining the flower.

• A gray Flight-Restricting Formation activated, and Li Xiaoya used the Earth Anti-Gravity Technique to race toward the sky while Di Long Yunyi and Ailishan were forced to the ground.
• The Man-Faced Crow appeared and interrupted Li Xiaoya with a soul-shaking cry, allowing the gray light barrier to seal completely.
• Li Xiaoya battered the barrier with Golden Light Fists, but the Man-Faced Crow summoned the power of more than three hundred Heaven-and-Earth Realm demon beasts to strengthen it.
• The Man-Faced Crow revealed that it had baited them with the twin-pole netherflower on behalf of Hell King Wugui, and Di Long Yunyi urged Li Xiaoya to crush their tokens and escape.
• Li Xiaoya refused to leave without obtaining the twin-pole netherflower.

Li Xiaoya, Ailishan, and Di Long Yunyi were trapped in the basin after Di Long Yunyi cut down a false Twin-Pole Netherflower, releasing purple mist that consumed magic power. As the Man-Faced Crow activated the basin’s defenses and the gray barrier closed in, Di Long Yunyi’s attempt to teleport away failed.

• Di Long Yunyi mistook Li Xiaoya’s warning and severed the enormous purple flower with his Blue Light Giant Sword, releasing a storm of purple mist.
• The purple mist penetrated Di Long Yunyi’s Protective Barrier and drained his magic power, so Li Xiaoya, Ailishan, and Di Long Yunyi burrowed underground to escape it.
• The Man-Faced Crow summoned the demon beasts, causing the gray pillars and enclosing Light Barrier to move inward and squeeze the group toward the basin’s center.
• Li Xiaoya and his companions found that gray light blocked their escape underground, while Di Long Yunyi crushed his Red Spiritual Token to teleport away.
• Di Long Yunyi’s teleportation failed, leaving him surrounded by red spiritual light as the barrier continued closing in.

Li Xiaoya, Ailishan, and Di Long Yunyi tried to break the restrictive formation trapping them in the Hell Tower, but the Man-Faced Crow and the demon beasts reinforced it. As purple fog closed in, the three prepared a second, more desperate attack with their strongest treasures.

• Li Xiaoya identified the restrictive formation as the reason they could not teleport, and the three cultivators joined forces to attack it.
• Their combined strike blasted away thousands of zhang of earth and shook the gray barrier, but the Man-Faced Crow rallied more than three hundred Heaven-and-Earth realm demon beasts to restore the formation.
• The Man-Faced Crow resumed contracting the barrier, and the purple fog surged toward the exposed cultivators.
• Li Xiaoya brought out the Red-Flame Myriad-Beast Armor and Fire Dragon Sword, while Di Long Yunyi revealed the Blue-Light Jade Seal and Ailishan produced a dangerous Purple-Light Orb.
• As the three prepared another attack, Li Xiaoya's Fire Dragon Sword unleashed an enormous fire dragon.

Li Xiaoya’s Fire Dragon Sword absorbed the purple mist called Devouring Dragon Saliva, grew stronger, and returned to his hand. With the Man-Faced Crow tightening the gray-light barrier around them, Li Xiaoya prepared to test a new move to break the restriction.

• Li Xiaoya’s Fire Dragon Sword rejected his grip, flew into the purple mist, and blocked his attempts to retrieve it with the Attraction Technique.
• The Fire Dragon Sword absorbed all the purple mist, gained a new purple rune, and settled back into Li Xiaoya’s hand.
• The Man-Faced Crow recognized the mist as its master Hell King Wugui’s Devouring Dragon Saliva, withdrew its gourd, and ordered the formation activated at full power.
• The gray-light barrier rapidly shrank as Di Long Yunyi and Ailishan prepared their treasures and spells to break it.
• Li Xiaoya noticed changes in the Fire Dragon Sword, shot upward with the Earth Anti-Gravity Technique, and told Di Long Yunyi and Ailishan to get ready.
