Chapter Summaries

As the Dragon God Ruins approached, Xiao Yan secretly stirred up conflict in Sun-Moon Town by killing members of the Golden Peng Tribe and Myriad Beast Mountain, then framing the Kunpeng Tribe. The ensuing accusations escalated into a war involving over a hundred factions, leaving Sun-Moon Town in chaos.

• Xiao Yan mastered the formation diagram, suppressed his imminent spiritual-power breakthrough, and learned that Myriad Beast Mountain's planned attack on Qin Wan'er had failed.
• Xiao Yan killed the Golden Peng Tribe members in Sun-Moon Town, prompting the Kunpeng Tribe to retaliate against Myriad Beast Mountain and spare its Young Master.
• Xiao Yan killed Myriad Beast Mountain's Young Master at the town gates, making the other factions suspect the Kunpeng Tribe and driving it to seek allies.
• Someone killed the Golden Tiger Tribe's reinforcements outside Sun-Moon Town, and the factions accused the Kunpeng Tribe despite its denial.
• The death of an important figure during a clash ignited a fierce war involving over a hundred factions, and some factions were wiped out.

Xiao Yan emerged from cultivation as the factions’ fighting in Sun-Moon Town intensified, but the Dragon God Ruins opened before they could destroy one another. He followed the crowd toward the ruins with Qin Wan'er and the Nine Nether Sparrow Tribe, planning to seek the inheritance or other treasures while waiting for a chance to act.

• Xiao Yan used the Supreme Spiritual Liquid he had looted to cultivate in the Heavenly Tomb while Qin Wan'er and the others tracked the factions’ worsening battles.
• Xiao Yan emerged from seclusion and learned that the fighting had cost several factions troops and commanders, while the Nine Nether Sparrow Tribe had stayed out of the conflict.
• A pillar of light rose from the Sunset Mountains, and the factions stopped fighting as the Dragon God Ruins began to open.
• Xiao Yan felt an unexplained revulsion toward the Dragon Emperor’s luminous image and told Qin Wan'er that the opening marked the beginning of the conflict, not its end.
• Xiao Yan led his group toward the ruins in the middle of the crowd, planning to pursue the inheritance or lesser treasures and withdraw if they found no opening.

Xiao Yan entered the ruins alone and discovered a pool of Lotuses of Life concealing a Nine-Revolution Green Lotus, a treasure that could aid his breakthrough to Earth Supreme. He left the treasure unclaimed for the moment after sensing that thousands of powerful beasts guarded it beneath the pool.

• Xiao Yan arrived on a stone platform separated from Qin Wan'er and her companions, then declined Bai Ting's invitation to join his group.
• Bai Ting dismissed the idea of confronting Xiao Yan and focused on finding the Kunpeng Tribe and taking the key from Zong Yue.
• Xiao Yan used his soul force to locate a pool filled with Lotuses of Life and discovered the far more valuable Nine-Revolution Green Lotus hidden beneath its water.
• Xiao Yan realized the lotus could help him reach Earth Supreme and the Ninth-Rank Supreme realm, but attacking the pool openly would draw the crowd's attention.
• Xiao Yan sensed hundreds or thousands of powerful beasts guarding the pool and held back from diving in.

Xiao Yan secretly retrieved the Nine Revolutions Green Lotus from the bottom of a pool guarded by an Elder Tiger Demon Jiao. He entered the Heavenly Tomb to refine its energy and began his breakthrough to the ninth rank.

• Xiao Yan used the Abyssal Demon Octopuses dragging him underwater as cover to search for the Nine Revolutions Green Lotus.
• Xiao Yan found an Elder Tiger Demon Jiao guarding the lotus and killed it with the Nine Profound Annihilation Burning Heaven Eyes.
• Xiao Yan collected the beast's corpse, plucked the Nine Revolutions Green Lotus, and entered the Heavenly Tomb.
• Xiao Yan took the White Jade Lotus Seed and used its life force to replenish his vitality and prepare for his ninth-rank breakthrough.

Xiao Yan broke through to Ninth-Rank Supreme after refining energy from the Nine Revolutions Green Lotus, then discovered a hidden chamber containing a Dragon Bone Guard. He learned its bones could help complete the Dragon-Bone Transformation and prepared to test his strengthened combat arts against it.

• Xiao Yan absorbed the White Jade Lotus Seed and broke through from eighth-rank to Ninth-Rank Supreme.
• Xiao Yan searched the emptied treasure sites and found a concealed chamber with the help of his soul force and the Ancestral Stone Spirit.
• Xiao Yan entered the chamber and encountered a Dragon Bone Guard, which the Ancestral Stone Spirit identified as an Earth Supreme-level puppet.
• The Ancestral Stone Spirit told Xiao Yan that the Dragon Bone Guard's remains could complete the Dragon-Bone Transformation of his Unending Void Demon Body.
• The Dragon Bone Guard attacked, and Xiao Yan activated the Unending Void Demon Body to meet its claw with a punch, sending both combatants reeling.

Xiao Yan defeated and temporarily sealed a Dragon Bone Guard with help from the Ancestral Stone Spirit, then discovered that thousands more Dragon Bone Guards were gathered in the secret chamber. The chapter left Xiao Yan facing an army whose battle intent could threaten even a Heavenly Sovereign.

• Xiao Yan used the Nine Springs Saint Demon Seal, Great Sumeru Demon Pillar, and Firmament Golden Hand to overpower a Dragon Bone Guard.
• The Ancestral Stone Spirit used the nine Ancestral Symbols to bind and seal the Dragon Bone Guard in a ball of light.
• Xiao Yan considered finding artifact-forging divine stone to help the Ancestral Stone evolve into a sacred artifact.
• A second Dragon Bone Guard appeared, and Xiao Yan realized the guards were likely gathered as an army.
• The Ancestral Stone Spirit sensed battle intent among the thousands of Dragon Bone Guards and warned Xiao Yan of their immense power.

Xiao Yan trapped several thousand Dragon Bone Guards in the Heavenly Tomb and discovered that they had been guarding a platform made of advanced artifact-forging divine stone. On the platform, he found a high-grade Spirit-Gathering Bowl that could produce vast amounts of Supreme Spiritual Liquid, and he considered taking it into the Heavenly Tomb to increase its yield.

• Xiao Yan asked the Ancestral Stone Spirit whether it could seal the Dragon Bone Guards, but it admitted that several thousand were beyond its ability.
• Xiao Yan drew the Dragon Bone Guards into the Heavenly Tomb, where they could not escape without his permission.
• Xiao Yan followed the guards’ path and found a stone platform made of advanced artifact-forging divine stone, which could strengthen the Ancestral Stone if absorbed gradually.
• Xiao Yan spotted a jade Spirit-Gathering Bowl atop the platform and recognized it as a Sacred Artifact capable of turning surrounding energy into Supreme Spiritual Liquid.
• Xiao Yan realized that placing the bowl in the Heavenly Tomb could let it produce millions of drops of Supreme Spiritual Liquid each day.

Xiao Yan used artifact-forging divine stone to strengthen his treasures, raising them to the Sacred Artifact level and transforming the Xuan Heavy Ruler into a weapon comparable to a mid-grade Sacred Artifact. He declined the Ancestral Stone Spirit’s suggestion to merge with a Dragonbone Guard and set his sights on finding the Dragon Emperor’s remains instead.

• Xiao Yan strengthened the Ancestral Stone and his other Divine Artifacts with artifact-forging divine stone until they reached the Sacred Artifact level.
• Xiao Yan melted more artifact-forging divine stone into the Xuan Heavy Ruler, greatly increasing its weight and power.
• Xiao Yan also strengthened his three Primordial Spirit Artifacts and resolved to seek additional treasures to improve them further.
• The Ancestral Stone Spirit suggested that Xiao Yan merge with a Dragonbone Guard, but Xiao Yan refused and prioritized searching for other opportunities.
• Xiao Yan reasoned that the Dragon Emperor’s remains must be somewhere in the ruins and decided to seek out the dragon bones.

Xiao Yan was attacked by a powerful Dragon Bone Guard and struggled to survive its overwhelming strength. As he prepared to risk using Mortal Annihilation, the Plane Spirit revealed that destroying the creature’s energy source could stop it.

• A massive Dragon Bone Guard emerged from the cave fissure and crushed Xiao Yan’s Five-Colored Fire Lotus.
• Xiao Yan boosted his strength with his Clan Mark and the Great Desolation Scripture, but the Dragon Bone Guard shattered his ruler afterimages and broke his Nine Nether Divine Armor with one blow.
• Xiao Yan healed himself with Blood Jade Heaven-Mending Pills and sent his clones and divine entities to delay the creature while he tried to condense Mortal Annihilation.
• The Plane Spirit spoke to Xiao Yan and explained that the Dragon Bone Guard would stop moving if its energy source inside its chest was destroyed.
• Xiao Yan sensed the energy core behind the creature’s bones but realized he would have to approach the dangerous Dragon Bone Guard to attack it.

Xiao Yan used the Life and Death Ancestral Symbol to hide his vitality from a Dragon Bone Guard, then attacked its core with Eight Extremes Collapse. When the seemingly defeated skeleton rose and thanked him for helping it find release, Xiao Yan was left facing an unexpected turn.

• Xiao Yan entered a pseudo-heart demon state and realized the Dragon Bone Guard tracked vitality rather than sight.
• Xiao Yan concealed his vitality with the Life and Death Ancestral Symbol, making the Dragon Bone Guard lose track of him.
• Xiao Yan used Eight Extremes Collapse to send hidden force through the Dragon Bone Guard’s bones and apparently destroy its energy core.
• The Dragon Bone Guard suddenly moved again, and the Plane Spirit offered to lend Xiao Yan power so he could break through to Earth Supreme.
• The Dragon Bone Guard thanked Xiao Yan for helping it find release.

Long Fan told Xiao Yan that the Dragon Emperor, Long Nixian, betrayed the Dragon God and turned the Heavenly Dragon Guard into Dragon Bone Guards. He warned that Long Nixian might still be alive and asked Xiao Yan to help kill him.

• Long Fan explained that Dragon Bone Guards were made from executed Dragon Clan members, but none of those in the chamber had committed crimes.
• Long Fan said Lord Dragon God had guided him to become a Heavenly Sovereign and that he and the Heavenly Dragon Guard had slain the Demon Dragon Emperor.
• Long Fan revealed that Long Nixian had betrayed the Dragon God and attacked the wounded Heavenly Dragon Guard after pretending to come to their aid.
• Long Fan said Long Nixian had turned the dead guards into Dragon Bone Guards and sealed him in the chamber after the Dragon God imprisoned Long Nixian.
• Long Fan warned Xiao Yan that Long Nixian might still be alive and asked him to help slay the traitor.

Long Fan gave Xiao Yan the knowledge and tools to command the Dragon Bone Guards and asked him to fulfill their final wish by killing the sealed Dragon Emperor. Before his consciousness vanished, Long Fan also revealed that the ruins held the Dragon Roar Demon-Subduing Art.

• Xiao Yan refused Long Fan's request at first, explaining that he could not defeat the still-living Dragon Emperor or command the Dragon Bone Guards.
• Long Fan transferred his battle-formation knowledge and insights to Xiao Yan, greatly strengthening Xiao Yan's soul force and teaching him about Battle Formation Masters.
• Long Fan gave Xiao Yan two Flames of Battle Intent, warning that their Heavenly Sovereign-level power would dissipate after use.
• Long Fan handed Xiao Yan a Dragon Spirit Pearl that could support his control of the Dragon Bone Guards for a limited time and provide energy for cultivation.
• Long Fan told Xiao Yan about the Dragon Roar Demon-Subduing Art in the ruins, then lost consciousness and became motionless.

Xiao Yan reached the Dragon Tomb with the treasure hunters and searched for the Dragon God's failing seal, which he hoped to reinforce before the Dragon Emperor escaped. When Zong Yang revealed the Jade Ring, its sudden power made Xiao Yan uneasy.

• Xiao Yan thanked the deceased Long Fan, kept the Dragon Spirit Pearl safe, and left the secret chamber with Long Fan's Battle Formation Master knowledge.
• Xiao Yan concealed his appearance while treasure hunting, gained treasures, stabilized his spiritual power, and advanced to the peak of the Ninth-Rank Supreme level.
• Xiao Yan encountered Qin Wan'er and the others but hid his identity, then traveled with the group to the deepest part of the Dragon God Ruins.
• Xiao Yan recognized the desolate mountain range as the Dragon Tomb and searched for the Dragon God's failing seal, believing the Dragon Emperor was imprisoned there.
• Zong Yang displayed the Jade Ring he had won at auction, and its barrier repelled the treasure hunters who attacked him.
• Xiao Yan felt uneasy as he watched the Jade Ring's power emerge.

Zong Yang used the Jade Ring to reveal the Dragon Emperor’s sealed stone coffin, then slaughtered his allies to feed the ring. Xiao Yan exposed Zong Yang as the Dragon Emperor possessing him and accused him of betraying the Dragon Clan by joining the Extraterritorial Evil Clan.

• Zong Yang sacrificed blood essence to the Jade Ring, causing the Dragon Emperor’s enormous sealed coffin to emerge from distorted space.
• Xiao Yan sensed the Dragon Emperor’s hostile aura and recognized that a spiritual array still sealed the coffin.
• Zong Yang asked his allied factions to help open the coffin, then used the Jade Ring to slaughter them and absorb their blood.
• Xiao Yan declared that Zong Yang was not himself but the Dragon Emperor possessing him through the Jade Ring.
• Xiao Yan accused Long Nixian of colluding with the Extraterritorial Evil Clan and bringing shame upon the Dragon Clan.

Xiao Yan confronted Long Nixian, who drew power from the blood ring to reach peak Lower-Rank Earth Supreme. Xiao Yan revealed his enhanced strength and drove Long Nixian back, leaving their fight unresolved.

• Long Nixian threatened to kill everyone who knew his secret, but Xiao Yan pointed out that his weakened state had forced him to possess Zong Yang and set a trap.
• Long Nixian attacked with the Jade Ring, and Xiao Yan blocked its blood-colored halo with the Ancestral Stone.
• Long Nixian absorbed energy from the blood ring and rose to peak Lower-Rank Earth Supreme, while Xiao Yan sent Qin Wan'er and the others fleeing.
• Long Nixian's borrowed body began cracking under the strain, and his first palm strike missed Xiao Yan, who had evaded it with an afterimage.
• Xiao Yan activated his clan mark and pseudo-heart demon state, blocked Long Nixian's energy palms with the Six Harmonies Wandering Ruler, and struck him with Flame Splitting Wave Ruler, forcing him backward.

Xiao Yan used his evasion to secretly set up numerous Spiritual Arrays around Long Nixian, who was already being torn apart by the strain of his possessed body. The arrays unleashed their combined assault, leaving Long Nixian trapped and in grave danger.

• Xiao Yan realized Long Nixian had withstood his ruler strike without injury and continued evading to outlast the limits of Long Nixian's possessed body.
• Long Nixian taunted Xiao Yan into fighting head-on, and Xiao Yan revealed the Five Saints Demon-Sealing Formation surrounding him.
• Xiao Yan activated dozens of additional heaven-grade Spiritual Arrays that he had set up while evading Long Nixian.
• The overlapping arrays attacked Long Nixian from all sides, and Xiao Yan warned him to break the arrays to his heart's content.
• Long Nixian feared the Five Saints Demon-Sealing Formation could shatter his Ninth-Rank Supreme body despite his peak Lower-Rank Earth Supreme strength.

Xiao Yan used several grandmaster-grade Spiritual Arrays to overwhelm Long Nixian and force him to break the Dragon God's seal with his own power. Long Nixian emerged at Great Perfection Earth Supreme strength, transformed into a dragon-like form approaching Half-Step Heavenly Sovereign, and prepared to kill Xiao Yan.

• Long Nixian raised a Sacred Artifact-powered barrier, but Xiao Yan's Demonic Lotus Formation and reversed Universe Ancient Formation corroded it under a barrage of Spiritual Power beams.
• Xiao Yan kept the Spiritual Arrays at full strength as Long Nixian's body and barrier cracked under the assault.
• Long Nixian turned into blood mist and slipped past Xiao Yan's defenses into the Stone Coffin, breaking the seal and awakening its power.
• Long Nixian emerged from the coffin with his strength restored to Great Perfection Earth Supreme, short of the Heavenly Sovereign level he had planned to regain.
• Long Nixian assumed a silver-scaled dragon form that raised him to Half-Step Heavenly Sovereign and vowed to kill Xiao Yan quickly.

Xiao Yan summoned the Dragon Bone Guards and formed a powerful battle spirit to fight Long Nixian. After the bone dragon drove Long Nixian into a desperate retreat, he revealed a Peerless Sacred Artifact, shifting the battle's course.

• Xiao Yan used the Dragon Spirit Pearl to awaken the Dragon Bone Guards and block Long Nixian's spiritual pressure.
• Xiao Yan commanded the Dragon Bone Guards to form a Ten-Thousand-Pattern Rank bone dragon battle spirit.
• Long Nixian recognized that Xiao Yan's cultivation limited the battle spirit's power and argued that it would not last long.
• The bone dragon attacked Long Nixian with battle-intent flame, its tail, bone spikes, and a claw that crushed his silver barrier.
• Long Nixian drew a Peerless Sacred Artifact silver longsword and shattered the bone spikes with a single slash.

Xiao Yan used the Time Ancestral Symbol to steal Long Nixian’s Peerless Sacred Artifact, then destroyed it to counter Long Nixian’s Dragon Roar Demon-Subduing Art. Long Nixian was badly injured and fell within reach of the Dragon Bone Guards’ battle spirit.

• Xiao Yan froze Long Nixian for an instant with the Time Ancestral Symbol and transferred his silver longsword into the Heavenly Tomb.
• Long Nixian summoned the Dragon Roar Demon-Subduing Art, forming a powerful Spiritual Power dragon to attack the Dragon Bone Guards.
• Xiao Yan brought out the stolen longsword and made the Peerless Sacred Artifact self-destruct, destroying Long Nixian’s summoned dragon.
• The explosion wounded Long Nixian and sent him plummeting as the bone dragon battle spirit lunged after him.

Xiao Yan defeated Long Nixian by detonating a Peerless Sacred Artifact and luring him into the Flame of Battle Intent. After securing Long Nixian’s corpse and retrieving the Silver Longsword, Xiao Yan prepared to flee before another Heavenly Sovereign arrived.

• Xiao Yan detonated a Peerless Sacred Artifact, interrupting Long Nixian’s attack and gravely injuring him.
• Xiao Yan used the Bone Dragon Battle Spirit to keep Long Nixian under pressure as both fighters neared their limits.
• Xiao Yan pretended to lose consciousness and baited Long Nixian into approaching, while his Soul Clone struck with the Flame of Battle Intent.
• Xiao Yan gathered the Dragon Bone Guards’ battle intent and blasted Long Nixian’s fallen body until his death was assured.
• Xiao Yan reversed time to retrieve the Silver Longsword, stored Long Nixian’s corpse, and prepared to escape before another Heavenly Sovereign arrived.
