Lin Ye devoured the Three Thousand Burning Flame, advanced to the five-star Dou Venerate level, and expanded his influence before setting out for an Ancient Ruin in the Beast Region. When the ruin’s entrance opened, he held his group back as the first eager entrants were wiped out by a sudden spatial disaster.

• When the ruin’s spatial passage opened, Lin Ye stopped his companions from rushing in, and spatial fragments and turbulence swept away the first wave of entrants.

Lin Ye and his companions entered the Ancient Ruin, avoided its deadly traps, and discovered that the apparent passage was a maze leading away from the real main hall. After reaching the ruin’s inner chambers and collecting its most valuable treasures, Lin Ye led the group toward an ancient forest to seek the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit.

• Lin Ye waited for the spatial turbulence to subside, then led Qing Lin, Zi Yan, Little Doctor Immortal, and Xiong Zhan through the passage to the crimson palace.

• Lin Ye led the group toward an ancient forest filled with medicinal ingredients to search for the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit.

Lin Ye and his companions searched the Ancient Ruin’s vast Medicinal Herb Forest, where Zi Yan sensed and opened a Beast Spirit Barrier hiding the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit. After Lin Ye and Zi Yan claimed the fruit, members of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Tribe arrived and demanded it, prompting Lin Ye to prepare for battle.

• Lin Ye split the group up to harvest herbs while he and Zi Yan searched the depths of the Medicinal Herb Forest.
• Zi Yan sensed a summons from her bloodline and opened a Beast Spirit Barrier that concealed a pocket space and a towering altar.

• Lin Ye summoned Earth Demon Puppets to protect Zi Yan and vanished in a streak of lightning as he moved to attack the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Tribe members.

As the Dou Saint Skeleton awakened and began absorbing blood to regain strength, Lin Ye had secretly taken six Ancient Human Puppets and the survivors faced a revived enemy.

• Lin Ye killed Huang Xuan, Feng Qing'er, the Silver-haired Youth, and the other Heavenly Demon Phoenix Tribe members before leaving the Beast Spirit Barrier with Zi Yan.
• Lin Ye and Zi Yan collected the Medicinal Herb Forest’s remaining herbs, reunited with Little Doctor Immortal, Qing Lin, and Xiong Zhan, and headed to the ruin’s deepest hall.
• Ten valuable scrolls flew from the barrier around the Dou Saint Skeleton, prompting the gathered factions to fight while the Ancient Human Puppets awakened and began slaughtering them.
• Lin Ye used Sever Reincarnation and Spirit Restraining and Commanding to secretly capture six Ancient Human Puppets as blood mist gathered around the Dou Saint Skeleton.
• Lin Ye knocked a Dou Zhe into the skeleton’s grasp, triggering its awakening; the skeleton began killing people and absorbing their blood as the crowd called for everyone to join forces.

Lin Ye and the others battled the recovering Dou Saint skeleton until it unleashed the Heaven Rank Great Heaven Creation Palm, destroying the great hall and much of the plaza. Lin Ye secured the skeleton, outmaneuvered a Soul Hall elder who wanted a share, and left the Ancient Ruin as Zi Yan departed for Eastern Dragon Island.

• Tang Zhen, Lin Ye, and the others attacked the Dou Saint skeleton, but its bones resisted their techniques as they worked together to control and strike it.
• Lin Ye recognized the skeleton was gathering power for the Great Heaven Creation Palm and fled with Little Doctor Immortal, Qing Lin, and Zi Yan, warning Xiong Zhan and Xiao Yan's group to escape.
• The skeleton unleashed the Great Heaven Creation Palm, devouring much of the hall and plaza; Lin Ye returned after the attack and claimed the unresponsive skeleton.
• Lin Ye offered the survivors free pill-refining opportunities in exchange for the skeleton, and Tang Zhen, Xiao Yan's group, and the other Dou Venerates agreed, while a Soul Hall elder demanded a bone.
• Lin Ye presented a replicated skeleton for the Soul Hall elder to inspect, and the elder found no problem and left without taking a bone.
• Tang Zhen arranged to visit Lin Ye for pill refinement, then Zi Yan left with Xiong Zhan for Eastern Dragon Island to absorb the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit, and Lin Ye prepared to return.

Lin Ye traveled to Eastern Dragon Island and spent more than a month using his Heavenly Flame to help Zi Yan safely refine the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit’s energy. As Zi Yan’s bloodline evolved, the other three Dragon Islands attacked, and Zhu Li and Hei Qing went to confront them while Lin Ye continued his work.

• Hei Qing summoned Lin Ye to Eastern Dragon Island because Zi Yan was in danger of being sealed inside crystals formed from the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit’s excess energy.
• Zhu Li explained that Lin Ye’s Heavenly Flames could refine the crystals, then arranged for him to help Zi Yan inside a pill furnace after several days of preparation.
• Lin Ye steadily refined the energy crystals for more than a month, replenishing his Dou Qi with his martial soul and medicinal pills.
• As Zi Yan absorbed the fruit’s energy, her Archaic Void Dragon Royal Bloodline began evolving into the Dragon Phoenix Bloodline, alerting the other three Dragon Islands.
• Xia Ao’s forces arrived outside Eastern Dragon Island, and Zhu Li and Hei Qing flew out to respond while Lin Ye continued refining Zi Yan’s energy.

Lin Ye defended Zi Yan while the three Dragon Islands attacked Eastern Dragon Island, using his Dragon Soul and martial arts to hold off their forces as she refined the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit. Zi Yan finally emerged from the furnace transformed, while Qing Yan remained locked in battle with Lin Ye’s lightning illusionary body.

• Eastern Dragon Island went to war against the other three Dragon Islands, and its forces began to fall behind.
• Xia Sha arrived at the volcanic crater seeking Zi Yan, but Lin Ye’s Devouring Ancestral Dragon Martial Soul suppressed him and let Hei Qing drive him back.
• Qing Yan reached the crater and tried to claim Zi Yan, so Lin Ye sent his Three Thousand Lightning Illusionary Body against him with the Xuanyuan Sword Avatar.
• Qing Yan wounded the illusionary body and then tried to attack Lin Ye, but the illusionary body repeatedly recovered and blocked his path.
• Zi Yan finished refining the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit, broke out of the furnace, and appeared in a regal violet-golden form.

After Zi Yan became the Dragon Emperor, Lin Ye copied her Dragon Phoenix Battle Body and later used imitation Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruits to raise his cultivation, though he still needed greater spatial comprehension to reach Dou Saint. After consolidating his control of the Northwestern Continent and gaining treasures at the spatial trade fair, Lin Ye headed for the Ancient Desolate Region to seek the Ancient Bodhi Tree while Cai Lin transformed beneath the Nine Serene Yellow Springs.

• Zi Yan completed her transformation into a Dou Saint with the Dragon Phoenix Bloodline, drove the other Dragon Islands’ forces from Eastern Dragon Island, and reunited with Lin Ye after the celebration.
• Lin Ye copied Zi Yan’s Dragon Phoenix Battle Body with his External Soul Bone: Symbiotic Battle Suit, then spent three days on Eastern Dragon Island before returning to Starfall Pavilion.
• Over the following year or two, Lin Ye copied and consumed two Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruits, advancing from five-star Dou Venerate to peak Half-Saint, but found that he still lacked the spatial comprehension to become a Dou Saint.
• Lin Ye extinguished Soul Hall’s unrest in the Northwestern Continent, brought the region under his control, and acquired the Nine-Colored Origin Stone, the final Purifying Demonic Flame map fragment, and Vajra Glazed Body at the spatial trade fair.

• Lin Ye, Qing Lin, and Little Doctor Immortal traveled deeper into the Ancient Desolate Region and arrived at the Ancient Region Platform.

Lin Ye and the other factions formed a temporary alliance under Hun Yu’s plan and fought through the fierce beast tide in the Ancient Desolate Region. The battered formation reached the far side of the plain and spotted the Ancient Bodhi Tree, whose green radiance kept the beasts at bay.

• Lin Ye arrived at Ancient Region Platform with Qing Lin and Little Doctor Immortal, where he saw allies and Hun Yu of the Soul Race.
• Hun Yu proposed a temporary alliance to cross the beast tide, and the factions agreed to arrange themselves by strength without appointing a leader.
• The alliance placed Lin Ye, Little Doctor Immortal, Qing Lin, Tang Zhen, Hun Yu, and others at the front, while Xiao Xun'er, Xiao Yan, and the Ancient Clan guarded the rear.
• The formation entered the plain, where the fierce beasts charged, and Lin Ye and the others fought to keep the group advancing.
• Despite deaths and heavy attacks, the formation crossed the beast tide and saw the Ancient Bodhi Tree surrounded by a green barrier that kept the beasts away.

Lin Ye and the survivors reached the Ancient Bodhi Tree, where five Half-Saint puppets attacked them. The tree drew Lin Ye, Qing Lin, and Little Doctor Immortal inside, and Lin Ye agreed to use Heavenly Flames and Bodhi Seeds to purge the Dou Emperor’s negative emotions in exchange for the tree’s opportunity.

• Hun Yu led the survivors into the Ancient Bodhi Tree’s green domain, where the Fierce Beast Tide stopped pursuing them.
• Hun Yu warned that a Half-Saint ancestor from the Soul Race had entered the tree’s domain and never returned, and Qing Lin sensed troubling gray energy on the tree.
• The Ancient Bodhi Tree revealed its Bodhi Heart and released five Half-Saint puppets, prompting Hun Yu to divide the survivors into groups to fight them.
• Lin Ye used Heavenly Flames against a puppet and led Qing Lin and Little Doctor Immortal toward the tree, which pulled the three of them inside.
• Lin Ye saw through the tree’s illusion and learned that it wanted him to purge a dead Dou Emperor’s negative emotions using Heavenly Flames and Bodhi Seeds.
• Lin Ye accepted the deal and began burning the Bodhi Seeds with the Three Thousand Starry Sky Purple Crystal Flame to cleanse the tree.

Lin Ye healed the Ancient Bodhi Tree and, after undergoing Hundred Lifetimes Reincarnation, broke through to three-star Dou Saint. He emerged with Little Doctor Immortal and Qing Lin, then revealed his breakthrough and announced he had gained opportunities from the tree.

• Lin Ye asked the Ancient Bodhi Tree to let Little Doctor Immortal and Qing Lin undergo Hundred Lifetimes Reincarnation, and it agreed.
• The Ancient Bodhi Tree trapped people who tried to pluck its leaves or tear off its bark, while everyone else waited outside for more than half a month.
• Lin Ye completed Hundred Lifetimes Reincarnation, received a portion of the Bodhi Heart, and broke through to three-star Dou Saint as Little Doctor Immortal and Qing Lin awakened.

• Lin Ye revealed his three-star Dou Saint aura to Xiao Yan and the others and admitted that he had gained opportunities from the Ancient Bodhi Tree.

After distributing Bodhi Seeds, Lin Ye returned to Starfall Pavilion, obtained the Yellow Springs Demonic Saint’s inheritance, and waited for Cai Lin to complete her evolution into a Nine-Colored Swallowing Python. When news arrived that the Purifying Demonic Flame was about to emerge, Lin Ye set out alone for its location.

• Lin Ye gave Bodhi Seeds to five factions, then returned to Starfall Pavilion with Qing Lin and Little Doctor Immortal and entrusted his remaining seeds to Yao Chen for study.
• Lin Ye visited the Nine Serene Deep Ground Python Tribe and defeated the remnant soul in the Yellow Springs Stele, securing the Yellow Springs Demonic Saint’s inheritance and splitting its blood essence with Yao Ming.
• After two more months, Cai Lin emerged from her evolution as a Nine-Colored Swallowing Python with Dou Saint-level strength, and Lin Ye brought her back to Starfall Pavilion.
• Lin Ye cultivated at Starfall Pavilion until news arrived that the Purifying Demonic Flame was about to appear, then departed alone for its location.

• Xiao Yan spotted the Xiao Clan's Clan Mark on the man's forehead, and Gu Nanhai identified him as Blood Axe Xiao Chen.

Xiao Yan met Blood Axe Xiao Chen, learned of the Xiao Clan’s destruction, and followed him toward the Purifying Demonic Flame. Lin Ye exposed and shattered the flame’s illusion, freed Xiao Chen from its control, and the true Purifying Demonic Flame emerged from the magma.

• Blood Axe Xiao Chen attacked Xiao Yan’s group, but stopped when Xiao Yan revealed the Xiao Clan’s Clan Mark and asked about the Xiao Clan’s fate.
• Xiao Yan told Xiao Chen that the Soul Race had destroyed the Xiao Clan and that Xiao Xuan had fallen; Xiao Chen grieved but agreed to lead the group to the Purifying Demonic Flame.
• The Purifying Demonic Flame appeared atop an altar and challenged everyone, but Lin Ye recognized that the scene was an illusion created by its Nightmare Sky Mist.
• Lin Ye used the Nightmare Breaking Talisman to shatter the illusion, revealing the magma sea and the people trapped on floating islands.
• When the Purifying Demonic Flame regained control of Xiao Chen, Lin Ye dispelled the control runes and freed him.
• The Purifying Demonic Flame rose from the magma and confronted the group after Lin Ye disrupted its plan.

The Purifying Demonic Flame trapped the gathered experts in its fiery domain, but the Soul Hall sealed it and triggered a scramble for its apparent origin. As Soul Demon Elder arrived to intervene, he revealed that an old monster from the Pill Tower was also nearby.

• The Purifying Demonic Flame attacked the gathered experts, ignited people who panicked, and summoned ten Dou Saint Fire Slaves as Gu Nanhai organized a counterattack.
• Lin Ye and six other Dou Saints above the four-star level fought the Purifying Demonic Flame, which self-destructed along with its Fire Slaves.

• Lin Ye recognized that the Purifying Demonic Flame had faked its defeat, while Xiao Chen drove back the Soul Hall's fighters during the scramble for the origin.
• Soul Demon Elder appeared, rejected Gu Nanhai's objection about the agreement barring powerful Dou Saints, and called on an old monster from the Pill Tower to emerge.

The Pill Tower Ancestor confronted the Purifying Demonic Flame, which had faked being sealed and ambushed Soul Demon Elder and Hun Miesheng. After the flame revealed its control of the Heaven Refining Ancient Array and trapped everyone, the Purifying Demonic Saint’s remnant soul emerged through Lin Ye’s ancient map, and Lin Ye agreed to yield control of his body in exchange for the Nightmare Heavenly Mist Dou Technique.

• The Pill Tower Ancestor arrived on an azure ox and warned Soul Demon Elder that the Purifying Demonic Flame had only pretended to be sealed.

Lin Ye let the Purifying Demonic Saint Remnant Soul take control of his body to confront the Purifying Demonic Flame, which tried to destroy them both. The Purifying Demonic Saint erased the flame’s intelligence and passed its purified origin to Lin Ye before fading away; as Lin Ye began devouring it, news from the Central Plains revealed the Soul Race had gathered every Ancient Emperor Tuoshe Jade.

• The Purifying Demonic Saint emerged through Lin Ye and took control of the Heaven Refining Ancient Array from the Purifying Demonic Flame.
• The Purifying Demonic Flame attempted to self-destruct, killing many weaker survivors, but the Purifying Demonic Saint teleported everyone except Lin Ye out of the Demonic Flame Space.

After devouring the Purifying Demonic Flame, Lin Ye returned to Starfall Pavilion and learned that the Soul Race was hunting for Ancient Emperor Tuoshe’s cave. He told Gu Yuan where it was, and the two confirmed the cave lay beneath Jia Nan Academy, leaving the allied clans ready to wait for the Soul Race there.

• Lin Ye emerged from seclusion as a six-star Dou Saint with an Emperor Realm soul and a fused Heavenly Flame, then reunited with Qing Lin and Little Doctor Immortal, who had both reached Dou Saint.
• Little Doctor Immortal told Lin Ye that the Soul Race had attacked the Medicine Race, stolen the Ancient Emperor Tuoshe Jade, and driven the other major factions to form an alliance.
• Lin Ye revealed that he suspected Ancient Emperor Tuoshe’s cave was beneath Jia Nan Academy and went alone to meet Gu Yuan, who agreed to investigate.
