Chapter Summaries

A wounded figure in the blood mist sensed a powerful Azure Dragon Skeleton resonance near the Dragon Domain and postponed investigating while he recovered. Ten days later, Gu Chenfeng joined Ao Li and the other candidates entering the Nine Dragons Suppressing Prison Tower, where he hoped to obtain the Azure Dragon's Dragon Origin.

• The figure in the blood mist sensed a strong Azure Dragon Skeleton resonance near the Dragon Domain, but decided not to investigate because he was still injured by the Red-Robed Woman.
• At the Water Dragon Division selection, Zhu Jiu questioned why Gu Chenfeng had come, while Ao Li warned Gu Chenfeng that he could die in the trial.
• Gu Chenfeng insisted he wanted to stay with Ao Li, and Zhu Jiu secretly ordered his Dragon Servant to beat Gu Chenfeng and target his face.
• Cangming told his Dragon Servants to guard the sixth floor of the tower and kill Gu Chenfeng if they encountered him.
• The Grand Protector opened the Secret Realm and announced that the first candidate to make the Profound Nether Water-Covering Seal recognize them would lead the Water Dragon Division.
• Ao Li carried Gu Chenfeng into the Nine Dragons Suppressing Prison Tower, and Gu Chenfeng hoped to find the Azure Dragon's Dragon Origin.

Gu Chenfeng pretended the first floor's refining power was overwhelming so Ao Li would leave him behind, then began searching the Nine Dragons Suppressing Prison Tower for the Azure Dragon's Dragon Origin. Ao Li continued toward the seventh floor to compete for the Profound Nether Water-Covering Seal, while Gu Chenfeng set out to search the first floor alone.

• Gu Chenfeng and the others entered the tower's first floor, where Ao Li explained that its refining power drained Heaven and Earth Origin Power and that the upper floors held trials and treasures.
• Gu Chenfeng could not sense the Dragon Origin's location, though the Azure Dragon Power within him confirmed it was somewhere inside the tower.
• Gu Chenfeng pretended the first floor's refining power had weakened him, and Ao Li left him behind with pills, talismans, and defensive Spiritual Treasures.
• Zhu Jiu grew jealous of Ao Li's concern for Gu Chenfeng and resolved to help her obtain the Profound Nether Water-Covering Seal.
• After Ao Li and the others departed, Gu Chenfeng revealed he was unharmed and began a Divine Sense search of the first floor for the Dragon Origin.

Gu Chenfeng searched the Nine Dragons Suppressing Prison Tower for the Azure Dragon's Dragon Origin while Ao Li, Zhu Jiu, and Cangming's group fought over the Profound Nether Water-Covering Seal on the seventh layer. Their battle was interrupted when a sinister aura from the Ten Thousand Demonic Dragon Cavern spread into the altar’s space.

• Gu Chenfeng searched the tower’s first four layers for the Azure Dragon's Dragon Origin, found only trials and treasures, and worried that the selection would end before he could reach the seventh layer.
• The Black-Scaled Man waited at the fifth-layer exit for Chen Feng on Zhu Jiu’s orders, then decided to search the layer when Chen Feng did not appear.
• Two Half-Step Source Emperor Realm Dragon Servants and their allies guarded the passage to the seventh layer and discussed waiting for Chen Feng and Zhu Jiu’s Dragon Servant.
• Ao Li and Zhu Jiu reached the Profound Nether Water-Covering Seal, but Zhu Jiu failed to break through its rosy-light barrier and was struck by a deep-blue beam.
• Cangming and four others arrived, and their group fought Ao Li and Zhu Jiu while their attacks shook the seal’s barrier.
• The altar and tower began to tremble, and the seven elders sensed the aura of the Ten Thousand Demonic Dragon Cavern approaching through the rosy light.

The seal on the Ten Thousand Dragon Demon Cavern began breaking, threatening the Nine Dragons Suppressing Prison Tower and everyone inside. While the others weighed danger against the chance to claim the Profound Nether Water-Covering Seal, Gu Chenfeng sensed Azure Dragon Origin above him and hurried toward the sixth floor.

• The Great Protector warned that the Ten Thousand Dragon Demon Cavern’s seal was failing and reinforced the tower, explaining that a breach could trap its treasures and the Profound Nether Water-Covering Seal inside.
• On the seventh floor, Ao Li attacked the rosy glow protecting the sacred relic, and Zhu Jiu and Cangming’s group joined the fight despite the approaching danger.
• On the sixth floor, the Dragon Servants decided to remain at the entrance while their masters stayed above, and Zhu Jiu’s Black-Scaled Man chose to search cautiously for treasures.
• On the fifth floor, Gu Chenfeng sensed Azure Dragon Origin somewhere higher and suspected a connection between it and the demon cavern.
• Gu Chenfeng ignored the warning to retreat and sped toward the sixth-floor passage to search for the Dragon Origin.

Gu Chenfeng sensed that the Dragon Origin was on a higher floor and raced toward the seventh floor, hoping to seize it while pretending to rescue Ao Li. The black-scaled man pursued him after mistaking Gu Chenfeng’s polite wave for an insult, but Gu Chenfeng left him behind and headed toward the sixth floor’s Core Region.

• The seal on the Suppressing Prison Tower’s ninth floor broke, allowing the Demonic Beasts’ sinister aura to spread into the eighth floor as Ao Li and Zhu Jiu continued battling Cangming and the others over the Profound Nether Water-Covering Seal.
• Gu Chenfeng sensed that the Dragon Origin was above the sixth floor and decided to search the seventh floor, planning to claim he was going there to save Ao Li.
• The black-scaled man spotted Gu Chenfeng racing toward the Core Region and tried to intercept him, but Gu Chenfeng’s speed carried him past.
• Gu Chenfeng waved as he continued on, and the black-scaled man mistook the gesture for mockery and began a furious pursuit, even activating a speed-enhancing talisman.
• The black-scaled man failed to catch Gu Chenfeng and realized he was heading toward the Core Region where Cangming’s and the other elders’ Dragon Servants were stationed.

Gu Chenfeng raced toward the seventh floor to find the Dragon Origin and aid Ao Li, but eight Dragon Servants tried to kill him. He slaughtered them with his azure claws while the Black-Scaled Man remained locked in a standoff with the one-horned burly man and the bewitching woman.

• The one-horned burly man and the bewitching woman spotted Gu Chenfeng approaching and ordered eight Dragon Servants to ambush him, while they confronted the Black-Scaled Man following behind.
• The Black-Scaled Man halted and faced off against the two Dragon Servant leaders, suspecting Gu Chenfeng had deliberately lured him into danger.
• Gu Chenfeng sensed the eight attackers surrounding him and declared that anyone blocking his way to the seventh floor would die.
• The eight Dragon Servants attacked together, but Gu Chenfeng unleashed a storm of azure claws and tore through their formation.
• The one-horned burly man, the bewitching woman, and the Black-Scaled Man sensed the battle and saw the mist turn red with blood as Gu Chenfeng killed a fleeing Nine-Star Source King Realm Drake Dragon Servant.

Gu Chenfeng killed the eight Drake Dragon Servants and fought his way past two Half-Step Source Emperor Realm experts to reach the passage to the seventh level. Revealing his awakened Azure Dragon Power, he overwhelmed the Jiao Dragons’ Dragon Might and launched an attack as they froze under his bloodline suppression.

• Gu Chenfeng killed the last of the eight Dragon Servants and flew toward the passage to the seventh level.
• The single-horned burly man and the alluring woman attacked Gu Chenfeng together, but he met their strikes head-on and matched their Half-Step Source Emperor Realm strength.
• Gu Chenfeng declared himself a Super Other Dragon chosen by Lady Ao Li and fought the pair barehanded, gradually suppressing them.
• The two Drake experts transformed into silver and crimson Jiao Dragons and tried to overwhelm Gu Chenfeng with their Dragon Might.
• Gu Chenfeng unleashed his Azure Dragon Power, suppressed the Jiao Dragons with his Dragon Might, and sent an enormous azure dragon phantom crashing toward them.

Gu Chenfeng defeated two Half-Step Source Emperor Realm Jiao Dragons and discovered that the Ten Thousand Dragon Demon Cavern’s Demonic Beasts were breaching the tower’s restrictions. He rushed toward the seventh floor, where Ao Li and the others were contesting the Profound Nether Water-Covering Seal as the Demonic Beasts overran the altar.

• Gu Chenfeng crushed the silver and crimson Jiao Dragons beneath an azure mountain, forcing them to use Jade Talismans to escape the tower.
• The Black-Scaled Man admitted he had come to see Gu Chenfeng off, and Gu Chenfeng continued toward the seventh-floor passage.
• Gu Chenfeng saw black vapor breaking through the passage restriction, then watched a Blood Light from his Storage Ring devour a Demonic Beast’s Fierce Soul before he charged through the barrier.
• On the seventh floor, Ao Li gained the advantage in refining the Profound Nether Water-Covering Seal while Demonic Beasts attacked the altar’s Rosy Glow barrier.
• Cangming and four allies withdrew from the contest, then shattered the barrier’s key points as they fled, leaving the Demonic Beasts to swarm the altar around Ao Li and Zhu Jiu.

Ao Li continued refining the Profound Nether Water-Covering Seal despite the demonic tide, while Zhu Jiu escaped toward the Sixth Layer. Chen Feng arrived and rushed to stand beside Ao Li, leaving Zhu Jiu to realize he could not compare with him.

• Zhu Jiu urged Ao Li to retreat as demonic beasts overwhelmed the altar, but she refused and kept refining the Profound Nether Water-Covering Seal.
• Ao Li explained that she needed the seal to enter the Ten Thousand Dragon Demon Cavern and search for her parents, and asked Zhu Jiu to look after Chen Feng if she failed to escape.
• Ao Li sent Zhu Jiu beyond the rosy glow and raised an extreme cold barrier that froze and destroyed the charging demonic beasts.
• Zhu Jiu fought his way toward the Sixth Layer passage and encountered Chen Feng arriving from below.
• Chen Feng ignored Zhu Jiu's warning and charged through the demonic tide toward Ao Li, declaring that he had to stay by her side as her Dragon Servant.
• Zhu Jiu watched Chen Feng disappear into the tide, admitted that he was no match for him, and fled through the passage.

Gu Chenfeng reached the Seventh-Layer Space’s Core Region and found Ao Li trapped behind a failing Barrier while she refined the Profound Nether Water-Covering Seal. Though he initially chose to leave, he turned back and released the blood-red force from his Storage Ring, which devoured a path through the demonic tide and surged into the Eighth Layer.

• Gu Chenfeng fought through the Demonic Beasts and Fierce Souls toward the Altar, where he sensed Ao Li’s Barrier and confirmed the Azure Dragon Origin was higher up.
• He hesitated to enter the Eighth Layer, but saw Ao Li’s Barrier cracking as she continued refining the Profound Nether Water-Covering Seal.
• Gu Chenfeng turned to leave, then remembered his past experiences with Ao Li and decided to risk going higher, telling himself he was doing it for the Dragon Origin.
• Gu Chenfeng charged toward the Eighth Layer but found the demonic tide too powerful to overcome alone.
• Gu Chenfeng released the trembling force in his Storage Ring, and its blood-red light devoured the Demonic Beasts and Fierce Souls as it surged into the Eighth Layer.

Ao Li struggled to refine the Profound Nether Water-Covering Seal as foul yin energy and Demonic Beasts threatened her barrier, but a blood-red force disrupted the demonic tide and gave her a chance to continue. On the eighth layer, Gu Chenfeng rode the Bronze Coffin deeper into the realm, searching for the Azure Dragon Origin as it devoured Demonic Beasts and Fierce Souls.

• Ao Li's barrier cracked under the Demonic Beasts' assault, while foul yin energy eroded her body and disrupted her refinement of the Profound Nether Water-Covering Seal.
• Ao Li sensed that a blood-red light was sweeping through the demonic tide and thinning the creatures around her, easing the pressure on her barrier.
• Ao Li repaired her barrier, suppressed the black mist within her, and resumed refining the great seal's core region.
• Gu Chenfeng entered the eighth layer on the Bronze Coffin, which expanded into a Blood-Colored Vortex and devoured Demonic Beasts, Fierce Souls, and foul yin energy.
• Gu Chenfeng urged the Bronze Coffin toward the eighth layer's core and searched for the aura of the Azure Dragon Origin.

Gu Chenfeng reached the ninth layer of the Nine Dragons Suppressing Prison Tower and found the Ten Thousand Dragon Demon Cavern, whose failing seals were holding back a vast demonic horde. His Azure Dragon Power awakened the Azure Dragon Origin at the cavern’s center, leaving him face-to-face with the power he had sought.

• Blackscale told Zhu Jiu that Gu Chenfeng had defeated two Half-Step Source Emperor Realm Dragon Servants and killed the others’ Dragon Servants, while Cangming and the others found their own servants gravely wounded or missing.
• Observers noticed that the black qi in the tower’s seventh and eighth layers was thinning, though the Great Protector confirmed that Ao Li had not mastered the Profound Nether Water-Covering Seal.
• Gu Chenfeng rode the Bronze Coffin through the demonic tide and entered the tower’s ninth layer.
• Gu Chenfeng saw that most of the golden chains sealing the Ten Thousand Dragon Demon Cavern had broken, while terrifying creatures still battered the remaining restraints.
• Gu Chenfeng’s Azure Dragon Power and Azure Dragon Reverse Scale resonated with a faint azure light at the seal’s center, awakening the Azure Dragon Origin.

Gu Chenfeng tried to claim the Azure Dragon Origin from the Ten Thousand Dragon Demon Cavern, but a five-element restriction blocked him while the imprisoned beings struggled to break free. He used the Enlightenment Platform to accelerate his analysis of the restriction, leaving the outcome unresolved.

• Gu Chenfeng drew the Bronze Coffin toward the Azure Dragon Origin as the chained beings in the Ten Thousand Dragon Demon Cavern stirred and strained against their bonds.
• Gu Chenfeng fed his blood to the Bronze Coffin, strengthening its devouring force and forming a subtle mental connection with it.
• Gu Chenfeng used the Azure Dragon Reverse Scale to break the runes around the Dragon Origin, but a gray barrier repelled him.
• Gu Chenfeng discovered that the barrier was formed by a balanced cycle of five kinds of Heaven and Earth Origin Power and began analyzing it with his Five Elements Yuan Force.
• Gu Chenfeng sat atop the Bronze Coffin and activated the Enlightenment Platform in the Phantom Martial Divine Ruins to speed up his comprehension as the imprisoned beings weakened their chains.

Gu Chenfeng broke the gray barrier and absorbed the Azure Dragon Origin, vanishing from the Demon Cavern as its sealed beasts escaped and surged through the Prison-Suppressing Tower. As the Dragon Origin transformed his body and Primordial Spirit, a voice in the darkness identified the place as its domain.

• Gu Chenfeng used the Enlightenment Platform and Five Elements Sacred Origin Art to weaken the barrier around the Dragon Origin while the Bronze Coffin's Blood Tide faltered.
• The barrier cracked, and Gu Chenfeng, the Bronze Coffin, and the Azure Dragon Origin vanished just as a sealed demonic beast attacked; the remaining chains broke and the beasts poured out of the Demon Cavern.
• Ao Li completely refined the Profound Nether Water-Covering Seal, sensed a mark left by her Mother, and fled upward through the Prison-Suppressing Tower as the demonic tide spread.
• Gu Chenfeng freed the Azure Dragon Origin, which entered his dantian and began destroying and rebuilding his body while strengthening his Primordial Spirit.
• Gu Chenfeng wondered where he had been taken, and a voice from the darkness told him, "This is my domain!"

While refining the Azure Dragon Origin, Gu Chenfeng met the Dragon Emperor, who revealed that Gu Chenfeng had inherited the divine dragon bloodline and was his only kindred. The Dragon Emperor brought him into his domain to complete the Azure Dragon Inheritance and explained that the Ten Thousand Dragon Demon Cavern was a passage he guarded.

• Gu Chenfeng saw the Dragon Emperor’s enormous eyes in the darkness and learned that the voice belonged to the ruler of the Dragon Race.
• The Dragon Emperor recognized Gu Chenfeng as human but said that gaining the Azure Dragon Inheritance had given him the divine dragon bloodline.
• The Dragon Emperor told Gu Chenfeng that they were kindred and asked him to address him as elder brother.
• Gu Chenfeng accepted the Dragon Emperor as his big brother and asked how he had reached the Dragon Emperor’s domain.
• The Dragon Emperor explained that he had brought Gu Chenfeng there to complete the Azure Dragon Inheritance after sensing its recognition.
• The Dragon Emperor revealed that the Ten Thousand Dragon Demon Cavern was a passage where his true body suppressed terrifying beings from the Eternal Heaven Realm.

The Dragon Emperor explained that the Ten Thousand Dragon Demon Cavern was a passage to the Eternal Heaven Realm, but its seals had weakened as evil beings in the Upper Realm grew stronger. Gu Chenfeng accepted the duty to repair the seal after inheriting the Azure Dragon Origin, then sensed that Ao Li was in danger and learned he might briefly bolster the seal using the Origin’s lingering divine might.

• Gu Chenfeng learned from the Dragon Emperor that the Ten Thousand Dragon Demon Cavern was one of two passages to the Eternal Heaven Realm and that evil forces there had destabilized its seals.
• The Dragon Emperor said the passage had become too dangerous to cross safely and explained that repairing the Lower Realm seal could stabilize it enough to let Gu Chenfeng enter the Eternal Heaven Realm.
• The Dragon Emperor revealed that inheriting the Azure Dragon Origin bound Gu Chenfeng to the duty of repairing the seal, and Gu Chenfeng agreed despite privately resenting the burden.
• The Dragon Emperor promised to keep Gu Chenfeng’s Divine Dragon Bloodline secret and let him live among humans, while Gu Chenfeng began merging with the Azure Dragon Origin in the Dragon Domain.
• Gu Chenfeng sensed that Ao Li was in danger, and the Dragon Emperor told him to activate the divine might lingering on the Azure Dragon Origin to sustain the Lower Realm seal temporarily.

Ao Li fled toward the Prison-Suppressing Tower's exit but was intercepted by a fallen Dragon Venerable and then surrounded by powerful Demonic Beasts. Gravely wounded and facing capture, she prepared to destroy her body and Primordial Spirit, but the Profound Nether Water-Covering Seal suddenly lit up.

• Ao Li raced through the Demonic Tide toward the tower's exit after her teleportation Jade Talisman failed.
• A fallen Dragon Venerable blocked the exit, and Ao Li fought it with her Ice Origin Power and the Profound Nether Water-Covering Seal.
• More powerful Demonic Beasts arrived, surrounded Ao Li, and joined the battle.
• The attackers gradually overwhelmed Ao Li, wounded her, and forced her out of her dragon form as demonic energy disrupted her Yuan Force.
• As the Demonic Tide closed in, Ao Li resolved to destroy her dragon body and Primordial Spirit rather than join the Demonic Beasts.
• The Profound Nether Water-Covering Seal trembled and burst into light.

Ao Li was protected from the Demonic Tide by the Profound Nether Water-Covering Seal and crimson flames, then reunited with her mother, Chi Yao, and father, Ao Yan. Ao Yan explained the hidden events that led them to guard the passage to the upper realm, and Ao Li asked her parents to leave with her.

• The Profound Nether Water-Covering Seal and a crimson dragon claw repelled the demonic beasts and fierce souls attacking Ao Li.
• Chi Yao appeared before Ao Li as a soul, and Ao Li recognized her mother and asked how she had come to be in that state.
• Ao Yan revealed himself as Ao Li's father and explained that he had fought terrifying beings from the depths of the Demon Cavern a century earlier.
• Ao Yan said he had sealed their leader inside his body, destroyed his own dragon body to kill it, and stayed to guard the cavern after the Dragon Emperor suppressed the demonic energy in his Primordial Spirit.
• Chi Yao and Ao Yan apologized for the hardship and loneliness Ao Li had endured, but Ao Li said she had never resented them and urged them to leave with her.

Ao Yan and Chi Yao helped Ao Li fight through the Demonic Tide toward the Prison-Suppressing Tower’s exit, but their corruption meant they could not leave with her. When they forced Ao Li away and charged into the tide, ready to destroy themselves rather than become demons, a wisp of azure light appeared.

• Ao Yan and Chi Yao joined forces with Ao Li to hold back the Demonic Tide and carry her toward the exit.
• Ao Li realized the black energy was corrupting her parents’ Dragon Souls, and Chi Yao revealed they had never been able to leave the Prison-Suppressing Tower.
• At the exit, the Dragon Race Runes repelled Ao Yan and Chi Yao, while Demonic Beasts bound them and dragged them toward the Demon Abyss.
• Ao Li refused to leave her parents, so Ao Yan and Chi Yao blasted her toward the exit and resolved to die rather than become Demonic Beasts.
• Ao Yan and Chi Yao charged into the Demonic Tide and began gathering destructive power, while Ao Li cried out in despair.
• Space trembled, and a wisp of azure light silently appeared.

An azure Divine Dragon appeared and reactivated the seal, suppressing the Demonic Tide and saving Ao Yan and Chi Yao. Ao Li reunited with her parents and left the Prison-Suppressing Tower, while Gu Chenfeng remained beneath an azure-lit figure in the Dragon Emperor Domain.

• Azure light cleansed the demonic energy from the Prison-Suppressing Tower and healed Ao Li, Ao Yan, and Chi Yao.
• A hundred-thousand-foot azure dragon appeared, and the Dragon Race Great Protector led the experts in paying respects to the Divine Dragon.
• The Divine Dragon reactivated the sealing formation, whose golden chains subdued the Demonic Beasts and Fierce Souls and sealed the Demonic Tide in the Ten Thousand Dragon Demon Cavern.
• Ao Yan and Chi Yao refused to leave their post, told Ao Li to keep their survival secret, and passed their knowledge and inheritance to her.
• Ao Li promised to cultivate until she could free her parents, then left the Prison-Suppressing Tower.
• In the Dragon Emperor Domain, an azure-lit figure hovered above Gu Chenfeng and wondered at the Divine Dragon's power.
