Chapter Summaries

Ao Li arrived to aid Gu Chenfeng and the Four Symbols Divine Sect, turning the battle against Blood Refining Venerable’s forces into a stalemate.

• Blood Refining Venerable ordered his two allies to attack, and Ao Li and Rocky Mountain Venerable engaged them while shielding Gu Chenfeng from killing blows.
• The reinforcements lifted morale at the Four Symbols Divine Sect, and Tongtong rampaged through the Demonic Tide with the Bronze Coffin, devouring Soul Devouring Beasts.
• A vast, oppressive aura surged from the northeast, and Blood Refining Venerable and his companions realized their lord was about to break the seal.

The Human and Demon Races used powerful treasures to suppress the Guixu Cauldron, weakening the aura of the Upper Realm expert sealed inside. As their forces celebrated, Gu Chenfeng sensed the expert was about to break free.

• Six Source Venerable-level soul devouring beasts appeared and attacked the Human and Demon Races' defenses, while six of their experts intercepted them.

• The Blood Refining Venerable and his companions arrived to find the Guixu Cauldron engulfed in lightning and holy flames, and its aura nearly gone.
• The Rocky Stone Venerable and the Human and Demon Races celebrated the apparent suppression of the Upper Realm expert, but Gu Chenfeng warned that the expert was about to break through the seal.

Gu Chenfeng sensed the Guixu Cauldron was about to erupt and warned the battlefield, but its destruction freed Mingluo, a powerful evil demon sealed for ten thousand years. Mingluo emerged and singled out Gu Chenfeng for revenge, while Gu Chenfeng tried to retreat.

• Gu Chenfeng warned everyone as the Guixu Cauldron erupted, breaking the seal and blasting away the Holy Radiance Dragon Horn.

• Mingluo spotted Gu Chenfeng retreating and threatened him for having prolonged his imprisonment.

Mingluo overwhelmed the Human and Demon Races' defenders with his Domain Power and attacked Gu Chenfeng. Just as Gu Chenfeng prepared to fight back, a blood-colored vortex pulled him into the Bronze Coffin, where a young girl shouted in his defense.

• Mingluo trapped Gu Chenfeng with a blood-colored pillar, but the Supreme Dao Sect's sect master and the Dragon Race Great Protector intervened and took the brunt of the attack.
• Mingluo spread his domain over the battlefield and revealed that he alone on the Seven Star Continent had transcended the Source Venerable Realm and mastered Domain Power.
• Mingluo blasted Ao Li, Panyue, and Sword-Walking Venerable aside, then repelled the Supreme Dao Sect's sect master and the Dragon Race Great Protector.
• With the other Source Venerable Realm experts occupied by Soul Devouring Beast experts, Mingluo attacked the isolated Gu Chenfeng.
• A blood-colored vortex swept Gu Chenfeng into the Bronze Coffin, which was struck by Mingluo's claw before a childish voice shouted that he should not bully her big brother.

Tongtong unleashed her icy power to protect Gu Chenfeng from Mingluo, but a mysterious Daoist nun intervened and subdued Tongtong. The nun revealed herself as Yuqing, the Supreme Dao Sect’s foremost expert, and challenged Mingluo with her own domain.

• Tongtong blocked Mingluo’s attack with an eruption of icy energy, then continued drawing on the power despite her body beginning to crack.
• Mingluo engulfed Gu Chenfeng and Tongtong in his Asura Blood Claw, but a curtain of white light shielded them from the attack.
• A Daoist nun stopped Tongtong’s rampaging energy and put her to sleep; Gu Chenfeng recognized her as the Female Imperial Preceptor, though she did not recognize him.
• The Supreme Dao Sect’s sect master greeted the nun as his junior sister, Yuqing, and she announced that she would face Mingluo.
• Yuqing spread a purple star field that held back Mingluo’s Asura Domain, prompting him to ask who she was.

Yuqing joined the battle against Mingluo and used the Guixu Cauldron, with Gu Chenfeng's help, to injure him, though she could not suppress him.

• Mingluo warned that the Human and Demon Races were their own greatest enemy, and Gu Chenfeng and the other leaders learned that Human super forces had joined the Ancient Evil Demons and attacked multiple factions, including Star Luo Hall.

After Mingluo’s retreat, Gu Chenfeng returned to the Four Symbols Divine Sect to recover while the Human and Demon Races rushed to defend their rear territories from traitors and Soul Devouring Beast attacks. Yuqing revealed that her fading memories came from merging with an avatar and returned the Guixu Cauldron to him, leaving Gu Chenfeng to prepare for a worsening crisis.

• Mingluo revealed that secret allies within the Human and Demon Races had begun rebelling, then withdrew with the Soul Devouring Beasts as the rear territories came under attack.

• Gu Chenfeng ordered the sect to restore its defenses, checked that Tongtong was healing inside the Bronze Coffin, and entered seclusion to recover from his injuries.
• Gu Chenfeng discovered that the Guixu Cauldron contained Chaos Qi and artifact fragments, then began refining Spirit Crystals to restore his strength.

Yuqing sensed a familiar aura but suppressed the stirring memory, while Star Luo Hall learned that five human and demon super forces had joined the Ancient Evil Demons. As the two sides prepared for a prolonged war, Gu Chenfeng rejected his master's offer of shelter and said he would go to Yan Province.

• Yuqing recalled sensing a familiar aura through the Guixu Cauldron, wondered whether her avatar had ties to its source, and suppressed the memory.

• Gu Chenfeng declined Mu Chen's offer of extra cultivators and decided to take the Four Symbols Divine Sect to Yan Province, where he could protect his family and use the Barbarian God Secret Realm as a fallback.
• Three months after the battle against the demonic tide, the Human and Demon Races formally allied against the Ancient Evil Demons and the five rebel super forces.
• Unable to use Star Luo Hall's damaged Super Teleportation Array, Gu Chenfeng moved the Four Symbols Divine Sect's people and resources aboard a Star-Island Ship and set course for Yan Province.
• A month into the crossing, Gu Chenfeng killed one of three Half-Step Source Venerable sea demons that had intercepted the ship, driving the others away.
• Three days from Yan Province, Gu Chenfeng sensed a familiar aura approaching, ordered Mo Nancang and the others to take the ship onward, and went to meet the pursuer.
• A blood tide poured through a tear in space, and Mingluo's voice taunted Gu Chenfeng that he could not escape.

Gu Chenfeng fought Blood Refining Venerable across the Boundless Sea, using the Bronze Coffin to survive while fleeing toward Yan Province. Just as Blood Refining Venerable moved in to kill him after he crossed into Yan Province, Gu Chenfeng revealed a pale golden sword-shaped talisman.

• Blood Refining Venerable intercepted Gu Chenfeng over the Boundless Sea and blocked the Thousand Illusions Treasure Mirror, forcing Gu Chenfeng into a fierce battle.
• Blood Refining Venerable overwhelmed Gu Chenfeng, who escaped inside the Bronze Coffin and fought while fleeing across the sea for more than ten days.
• As the Bronze Coffin's defenses weakened, Gu Chenfeng continued south toward Yan Province with Blood Refining Venerable pursuing and attacking him.
• After Gu Chenfeng crossed into Yan Province, Blood Refining Venerable broke through his defenses and wounded him with a blood dragon and blade aura.
• Blood Refining Venerable appeared before the badly injured Gu Chenfeng and aimed a blood blade at his neck, but Gu Chenfeng produced a pale golden sword-shaped talisman.

• Gu Chenfeng sensed Mo Nancang, Gu Qingxuan, and the others arriving, and led his family out of the Barbarian God Secret Realm to meet them.
• Xie Guhong, Gongsun Yan, Ming Ye, Mo Nancang, Gu Qingxuan, and a vast force of powerful cultivators arrived aboard the Star-Island Ship and welcomed Gu Chenfeng as their Sect Master.

Gu Chenfeng returned to the Four Symbols Frozen Expanse with Gu Beiwu and the others, and the Four Symbols Divine Sect merged its branches and swept away the demon caverns threatening Yan Province.

• Gu Chenfeng, seated nearby with three veiled women, choked on his wine and suggested they leave the restaurant for a stroll.

Gu Chenfeng traveled around Yan Province with Liu Fuyan, Gu Yanshuang, and Gu Qingxuan before returning to the Four Symbols Divine Sect's Headquarters. With Blood Refining Venerable likely to escape the Barbarian God Secret Realm's seal within one or two years, Gu Chenfeng sought to inherit the second Black Gold Pattern and grow strong enough to defeat him.

• Gu Chenfeng entered the Barbarian God Secret Realm's altar plaza and stepped toward the giant axe to seek the second Black Gold Pattern.

Gu Chenfeng repeatedly failed to cross the second trial zone for the Barbarian God's second Black Gold Pattern, and Leng Xingye contacted him to offer passage to the Upper Realm. He refused again, and Leng Xingye advised him to make better use of the Phantom Martial Divine Ruins, while she privately fumed over his time with other women.

Gu Chenfeng used Chaos Qi from the Guixu Cauldron to expand the Phantom Martial Divine Ruins and awaken the Myriad Worlds Time Wheel. Its power transported him to a restricted jungle, where a fierce body cultivator challenged him to the Holy Clan’s Pearl-Seizing Battle.

• Gu Chenfeng fed about seventy percent of the Chaos Qi in the Guixu Cauldron into the Phantom Martial Divine Ruins, expanding its space and creating a new region.

• A young man in animal hides told Gu Chenfeng that only the two of them remained in the Holy Clan’s Pearl-Seizing Battle, then attacked him with a punch.
• Gu Chenfeng met the man’s punch, and both fighters staggered back; Gu Chenfeng recognized him as a peak Nirvana Realm Body Cultivator.

Gu Chenfeng fought Huang Qiu, a peak Nirvana Realm body cultivator from the Holy Clan, and the two proved evenly matched even after unleashing their bloodline powers and secret arts. As they prepared their strongest techniques, both revealed matching battle axes and invoked Heaven's Mandate Nine Strikes, leaving the duel unresolved.

• Gu Chenfeng escaped the celebration’s advances by retreating to a stone chamber, then reversed the Myriad Worlds Time Wheel and sent his consciousness back.

Gu Chenfeng used the Myriad Worlds Time Wheel to spend months training with the young Barbarian God, Huang Qiu, and grew stronger while learning how the wheel's time worked. When Huang Qiu revealed that he had not yet created the continuation of Heaven's Mandate Nine Strikes, he proposed traveling to Central Province to challenge powerful experts, and Gu Chenfeng agreed to go with him.
