Chapter Summaries

Huo Yuhao returned to the caravan and concealed what he had really done, while Yue Ye explained that the group would leave Imperial Dragon Pass for Demon Race territory the next morning. As the caravan departed, Huo Yuhao continued weighing whether to tell the Demon God Emperor that Austin Griffin was alive, a decision that depended on finding Long Haochen.

• Huo Yuhao returned to the carriage and told Leng Xiao and Yue Ye that he had helped an auntie and watched the snow.
• Yue Ye explained that the caravan would leave Imperial Dragon Pass because the humans had confirmed the Demon Race was not preparing a large-scale war.
• At dawn, the caravan departed with more than fifty people, including Temple Alliance Demon Hunt Squad members posing as mercenaries.
• Huo Yuhao looked back at Imperial Dragon Pass and concluded that Long Xingyu had not reported their previous night's battle to its senior officials.
• Huo Yuhao thought about Long Haochen and Austin Griffin, but remained unsure whether to tell the Demon God Emperor that Austin Griffin was alive.

On the first night of the return journey from Imperial Dragon Pass, Huo Yuhao joined the Yue Ye Caravan as it was besieged by demons. He shared his Spiritual Detection with the caravan and went out to fight as the battle began.

• Huo Yuhao cooked for the caravan and warned Leng Xiao that she needed to ration the food in her storage ring.
• A night watchman shouted that enemies were approaching, and the caravan formed a defensive circle around its wagons.
• Huo Yuhao used Spiritual Detection and discovered demons charging toward the caravan from every direction.
• Huo Yuhao linked the caravan members with Spiritual Detection Sharing, giving them a clear view of nearby enemies.
• Yue Ye activated the caravan's defenses, and magical arrows struck the advancing demons as Huo Yuhao and Leng Xiao went out to fight.

Huo Yuhao annihilated the demons attacking the Yue Ye Caravan, revealing his strength to nearby Demon Hunt Squads. After warning the young squads about the dangers ahead, he returned to the carriage, where Yue Ye was waiting.

• Huo Yuhao killed more than a thousand demons with his Ice Sword as the Demon Hunt Squads watched in disbelief.
• When demons threatened the carriages, Huo Yuhao used Octagonal Thrust to freeze and shatter nearly all the attackers while sparing the caravan.
• A Demon Hunt Squad warrior and priest approached Huo Yuhao, who declined healing and asked what the others were extracting from the corpses.
• After learning they were digging out Demon Crystals, Huo Yuhao warned the squads that the road ahead was dangerous and suggested they return to Imperial Dragon Pass.
• The wary Demon Hunt Squad members gave no answer, and Huo Yuhao returned to the carriage, where Yue Ye was sitting.

After the caravan’s battle with starving demons, Huo Yuhao asked Yue Ye why famine was widespread in demon territory. Yue Ye explained the Demon Race’s food crisis and hinted that Huo Yuhao wanted freedom from the Demon God Emperor’s control, leaving open the possibility of further talks after they returned.

• Huo Yuhao entered Yue Ye’s carriage and asked whether the caravan often faced attacks like the one they had just survived.
• Huo Yuhao reflected on the starving demons’ desperate assault and his own memories of hunger as a child.
• Yue Ye explained that famine had worsened after the Holy War, as food consumption rose while independent merchants stopped operating.
• Huo Yuhao pointed out that the caravan’s supplies would not feed the demons who had attacked them, and Yue Ye said the food was reserved for demons serving the top five demon gods in Heart City.
• Yue Ye said the Demon Race depended on human captives, mixed-blood demons, and merchants for production, and warned that prolonged isolation could cause chaos over food.
• Yue Ye hinted that Huo Yuhao longed for freedom, but he cut her off; she invited him to continue their conversation after they returned.

Huo Yuhao considered Yue Ye’s invitation and the harsh position of demons and human-demon hybrids, while keeping his own mission in mind. As the caravan traveled deeper into demon territory and faced increasingly dangerous attacks, he learned that injured demons were largely abandoned without treatment.

• Huo Yuhao understood that Yue Ye was trying to recruit him into the human-demon hybrid organization, but he remained uncertain whether to sympathize with the demons and focused on his mission to remove the Demon God Emperor’s Magic Arrays and find Long Haochen.
• Leng Xiao returned to the carriage, excited by the fight, and the caravan continued traveling for two more days at a slower pace.
• Huo Yuhao observed that demons attacked the caravan more frequently and in greater numbers, with stronger demons joining the assaults.
• Yue Ye explained that demons had few healers, limited access to healing potions, and little ability to use healing magic, leaving even high-ranking injured demons without care.
• Yue Ye remarked that Huo Yuhao was different from the others, and he replied that he had not come from that world.

Huo Yuhao continued protecting the Yue Ye Caravan as famine-driven demon attacks grew more frequent, and he killed a wounded Seventh Order demon. When three Demon Gods and two thousand demons approached, he decided to confront them alone before they could reach the caravan.

• Huo Yuhao fought off repeated demon attacks while traveling with the Yue Ye Caravan, earning respect from its members and the Demon Hunt Squads.
• Huo Yuhao killed a one-armed, lame Seventh Order Bear Demon with a single stroke, and a Cherry-Pink Soul Ring flickered briefly in his Sea of Consciousness.
• Huo Yuhao sensed three powerful figures approaching and used Spiritual Sharing to show Yue Ye that they were accompanied by two thousand demons.
• Yue Ye identified the newcomers as the eighth-order-peak Demon Gods Ximonli, Andusia, and Belia.
• Huo Yuhao told Yue Ye that he would confront the three Demon Gods and their forces alone to keep the fighting away from the caravan.

Huo Yuhao flew ahead of the caravan to confront three demon gods and their army. He killed the Specter Demon God Ximonli in a single pass, leaving the other demon gods and their soldiers in chaos.

• Yue Ye warned Huo Yuhao that the three demon gods could summon their Demon God Pillars, but Huo Yuhao showed her the Demon God Emperor's token and set off without taking her token.
• Huo Yuhao used Angel Divine Power and flew toward the three demon gods, while Yue Ye told Leng Xiao he had gone to deal with trouble in advance.
• The Specter Demon God Ximonli sensed a fast-approaching surge of light element and warned the Demon Sound Demon God Andusia and the Flame Demon God Belia of an enemy attack.
• Huo Yuhao's spiritual attack struck the three demon gods and their two thousand soldiers, and Ximonli's attempt to protect them failed.
• Huo Yuhao's golden streak cut through the demon force and killed Ximonli, taking his head and soul; Andusia, Belia, and the soldiers were left in confusion as some fled.

Huo Yuhao killed Simmonli before he could summon his Demon God Pillar and read the demon god’s memories, which revealed both the caravan ambush and the hardship among ordinary demons. As he reconsidered whether demons deserved extermination, two Demon God Pillars appeared below and began restoring order among the troops.

• Huo Yuhao used his speed and Golden Light to weaken Simmonli’s defense, then beheaded him with the Angel Holy Sword before he could summon his Demon God Pillar.
• Huo Yuhao trapped Simmonli’s soul, used Time Reversal to read his memories, and then crushed the soul in disgust at the demon god’s indulgent life.
• Huo Yuhao learned that Simmonli and the demon soldiers had ambushed the Yue Ye Caravan, and saw memories of famine, wounded demons, and human slaves suffering in demon territory.
• Huo Yuhao questioned whether demons as a whole deserved extermination and reflected on how individuals were constrained by powerful collectives and war.
• Two enormous Demon God Pillar phantoms appeared among the chaotic troops, gradually restoring order, and Huo Yuhao turned his gaze toward them.

Huo Yuhao attacked the two remaining demon gods after deciding their cruel rule made them unworthy of being spared. He killed Lie Yan Belial and Andusias, leaving their troops leaderless.

• Huo Yuhao tested whether the Demon God Emperor’s token reacted to Simmonli’s death, then put Simmonli’s head away.
• After examining Simmonli’s memories, Huo Yuhao decided to kill Andusias and Belial rather than order them to retreat.
• Andusias and Belial summoned their Demon God Pillar phantoms and prepared to flee, but Huo Yuhao struck before they could leave.
• Huo Yuhao’s attack badly wounded both demon gods and encased Belial’s arm in ice that his pillar’s power could not dispel.
• Huo Yuhao’s next attack killed Belial, and Andusias unleashed sound waves at his attacker while trying to escape.
• Huo Yuhao stopped Andusias’s sound waves, took his head, and brought his soul under control.

After killing Demon God of Magic Sound Andusias and Demon God of Lie Yan Belial, Huo Yuhao searched their memories and belongings, then prepared to face the powerful Demon God of Battle Frenzy A Nan. A Nan offered him time to recover, but Huo Yuhao chose to begin the battle immediately and vanished in a burst of speed.

• Huo Yuhao took Demon God of Lie Yan Belial's head, examined the souls of both Demon Gods, and found no clues about Long Haochen's Demon Hunt Squad or the Eternal Tower Elder Yi had left behind.
• Huo Yuhao raised the battlefield's corpses as undead, ordered them to gather food and equipment, collected the Demon Gods' belongings, then buried the corpses after purifying their souls.
• Huo Yuhao sensed a powerful observer, readied his Ice Spirit Spear and wings, and identified him as Demon God of Battle Frenzy A Nan.
• Demon God of Battle Frenzy A Nan introduced himself and offered Huo Yuhao time to recover before their fight, but Huo Yuhao refused and attacked as soon as A Nan agreed to begin.

Huo Yuhao battled the War Berserk Demon God A Nan, using his speed, domains, and Ice Spirit Spear to gain the advantage despite A Nan’s higher cultivation. A Nan seized Huo Yuhao’s spear and unleashed a burst of spiritual energy in every direction.

• Huo Yuhao ambushed A Nan, then used the Ice Spirit Spear to block his rapid attacks and strike back with Emperor Palm: Great Cold Without Snow.
• Huo Yuhao combined Snow Dance Extreme Ice Domain and Pride of the Ice and Snow Emperors to pierce A Nan with Emperor Sword: Ice Extreme Peerless.
• A Nan summoned his physical Demon God Pillar, healed his wound, reached the ninth-level, fifth-level peak, and engulfed Huo Yuhao in his blood-red domain.
• Huo Yuhao dispelled A Nan’s domain, trapped him with Angel Domain and Tian Meng’s Domain, and used his speed to overwhelm him with repeated spear attacks.
• A Nan took Huo Yuhao’s next spear thrust directly, grabbed the spear shaft, and unleashed his spiritual energy in every direction as Huo Yuhao retreated.

Huo Yuhao defeated A Nan, the Berserk War Demon God, but spared him and ordered him to help with several tasks. As they flew off together, Huo Yuhao learned that A Nan’s agreement to fight Long Xingyu had ended in a draw.

• Huo Yuhao used the Ice Spirit Spear to drain A Nan’s spiritual energy, then summoned the Rakshasa Demon Scythe and shattered A Nan’s twin blades.
• Huo Yuhao cut down A Nan, who lost consciousness but later awoke alive beside the Demon God Pillar.
• A Nan asked why Huo Yuhao had spared him, and Huo Yuhao said he had tasks for him to handle.
• Huo Yuhao showed A Nan a token bearing the Demon God Emperor’s aura and said he was not from the continent and wanted to return home.
• A Nan agreed to follow Huo Yuhao, then explained that he could only draw against Long Xingyu because of Long Xingyu’s combat skill and the amplification of the Doom and Slaughter and Divine Throne.

Huo Yuhao gathered more than five thousand starving demons and fed them, telling A Nan he was conducting a test whose results would come when his caravan passed the next day. Before flying back, he gave A Nan healing medicines to distribute to the injured high-ranking demons.

• Huo Yuhao used Spiritual Detection Sharing with A Nan and asked him to summon the demons he had marked.
• A Nan summoned the demons, and more than five thousand low-ranking, wounded, or disabled demons gathered on the wasteland.
• Huo Yuhao gave food to the demons in line, while A Nan kept them orderly.
• When A Nan asked why he was feeding them, Huo Yuhao said he was conducting a test and expected results when his caravan passed the next day.
• Huo Yuhao handed A Nan healing medicines for the injured high-ranking demons and flew back toward the caravan.

Huo Yuhao told Yue Ye that he had killed the three demon gods who threatened the caravan, then checked how feeding low-ranking demons affected their attacks. He explained to A Nan that he wanted to feed them because he knew what hunger was, and A Nan asked whether Huo Yuhao hated the Demon Race.

• Huo Yuhao returned to the caravan, told Yue Ye the three demon gods were dead, showed her their heads, and buried them while keeping their Demon Crystals.
• Huo Yuhao's Spiritual Detection showed that demon activity had fallen sharply after he distributed food, letting the caravan travel much faster.
• Huo Yuhao found A Nan still waiting nearby and told him the test had reduced attacks on the caravan.
• A Nan questioned why Huo Yuhao fed the low-ranking demons instead of killing them, and Huo Yuhao said he understood hunger and wanted to help them.
• A Nan asked Huo Yuhao whether he loathed the Demon Race and wanted to kill them all.

Huo Yuhao questioned A Nan about the Demon Race’s suffering and its six-thousand-year war with humans, unable to decide how either side could be judged or how the cycle could be changed. He asked whether the Demon Race belonged to itself or to the demon gods, and A Nan remained silent.

• Huo Yuhao told A Nan that demons, like humans, felt hunger, fear, pain, and joy, and that not every demon deserved death.
• Huo Yuhao described how low-ranking demons starved while humans suffered invasion and enslavement, and questioned what six thousand years of war had accomplished.
• Huo Yuhao reflected on the oppression and suffering he had witnessed across two worlds, recognizing that he could see the problems but not how to solve them.
• Huo Yuhao asked A Nan whether the Demon Race belonged to itself or to the demon gods, and A Nan stayed silent for a long time.

Huo Yuhao repeatedly defeated A Nan, who kept seeking him out for challenges and was carried toward the caravan by twenty disabled high-ranking demons. The demons eventually asked Huo Yuhao to let them follow him.

• A Nan questioned Huo Yuhao about the Demon Race and its Demon God Pillars, then challenged him to another fight.
• Huo Yuhao defeated A Nan and returned to the caravan, while twenty disabled high-ranking demons carried the unconscious A Nan after him.
• A Nan reached the caravan again and challenged Huo Yuhao, who knocked him unconscious once more.
• When A Nan returned for another fight, Huo Yuhao stopped him and called the twenty demons out of hiding.
• The twenty disabled demons bowed to Huo Yuhao, and the Medusa asked to follow him.

Huo Yuhao questioned the wounded demons, confirmed their account of their lives and battlefield service, and gave them food and medicine while telling them to wait for him. He negotiated with A Nan over their fights, and left for the caravan with A Nan and the demons staying behind.

• Huo Yuhao questioned the Medusa and the other demons about killing humans and owning human slaves, then probed their memories and confirmed they had told the truth.
• Huo Yuhao learned that the demons were treated as expendable soldiers and had fled their tribes because their injuries made them a burden.
• Huo Yuhao gave the demons healing medicine and food from the storage rings he had taken from three Demon Gods, and ordered them to wait for him the next day.
• Huo Yuhao told A Nan not to challenge him without a new move, then agreed that A Nan could challenge him once a day and would follow his orders until he won.
• A Nan sat with the wounded demons as they used the medicine, while Huo Yuhao flew back toward the caravan.

Huo Yuhao trained with A Nan, then gathered A Nan and twenty disabled high-ranking demons to help rescue sick and injured human slaves abandoned by the Demon Race. He planned to begin with the slaves in nearby cities, since he lacked the means to rescue and transport everyone at once.

• Leng Xiao asked why Huo Yuhao had been so busy, and he invited her to work with him.
• Yue Ye silently acknowledged Huo Yuhao's efforts to protect the Yue Ye Caravan, and he left to meet A Nan and the others.
• Huo Yuhao gave breakfast to the disabled high-ranking demons, fought A Nan with Rakshasa Divine Power, and defeated him in five minutes.
• Huo Yuhao shared his Spiritual Detection with the group and told them where they would go next.
• After learning from three Demon Gods' memories about human slaves abandoned when they became sick or injured, Huo Yuhao decided to rescue them with A Nan and the disabled demons.

Huo Yuhao revealed his angelic power and explained that he intended to rescue human slaves, asking the wounded demons to choose whether to join him. Their desire to survive helped several of them understand the slaves’ plight, giving Huo Yuhao hope that humans and demons might someday find common ground; he healed the demons and prepared to lead them to Xina City.

• Huo Yuhao used angel divine power, explained that he was neither a demon nor part of the Temple Alliance, and said he planned to rescue human slaves.
• The wounded demons agreed to follow Huo Yuhao, and he sensed that their fear of death and desire to live made them understand the humans’ situation to varying degrees.
• The Golden Bird Demon reflected that human slaves probably shared the same desire to survive, while the Medusa and Leopard Demon reconsidered whether the existing order was wrong.
• Huo Yuhao concluded that there was hope for mutual understanding, then used Healing Light to mend the demons’ internal wounds.
• Huo Yuhao gave the demons cloaks and told them they were going to Xina City.

Huo Yuhao and his companions entered Xina City under A Nan’s protection and rescued fifty sick and injured human slaves. Outside the city, Huo Yuhao began healing them with the Gold of Life and restoring their elemental balance with Angel Divine Power.

• Huo Yuhao’s group openly entered Xina City with A Nan, whose Demon God aura kept the demon soldiers from stopping them.
• Huo Yuhao found fifty sick and injured human slaves crowded into an earthen house and ordered the disabled high-ranking demons to load them into five carriages.
• The rescued humans resisted being moved, fearing they would be taken to their deaths, but Huo Yuhao brought them out of the city without explaining his intentions.
• After the carriages stopped beyond the city, Huo Yuhao’s group carried the frail humans out while A Nan meditated and the disabled demons moved away.
• Huo Yuhao used the Gold of Life to heal their wounds and illnesses, then used Angel Divine Power to restore the balance of elements in their bodies.
