Lin Yuan learned that the Slaughter Authority granted extraordinary combat power and asked One-Eye, an outsider who had adopted the Slaughter Domain, about its unusual properties. One-Eye could offer no clear explanation, but recalled that Minglong City’s strange signs had become apparent only in recent years.

• Blood King estimated that the Slaughter Authority would finish sublimating in about two weeks and planned to kill Lin Yuan to improve his chances of being appointed a Deputy Authority Holder.
• Lin Yuan watched more arena fights and realized that Slaughter Domain fighters who seemed to be Eight- or Nine-Star S-ranks were likely only Five or Six Stars in actual level.

• Lin Yuan asked One-Eye which Regular Combatants were outsiders, and One-Eye revealed that he too had come from elsewhere before switching to the Slaughter Domain.
• One-Eye said the Slaughter Domain had made him stronger despite his limited cultivation, then recalled that Minglong City’s unusual signs had emerged only in recent years.

Lin Yuan learned more about Minglong City’s unusual Slaughter Authority and concluded that the Dragon Ancestral Land was likely beneath the City Lord’s Mansion. He then prepared to face Wind Eagle, who planned to kill the newcomer and climb the arena ranks.

• One-Eye told Lin Yuan that Slaughter Authority had grown exceptionally powerful over time, with its growth accelerating sharply in recent years.
• Lin Yuan questioned why City Lord Minglong had not used Explore the Sea or brought true Dragon Clan members to Minglong City, and learned that Minglong’s signature weapon was the Slaughter Blade.

• After Lin Yuan left, One-Eye drank Blood Wine that carried hidden polluting power without noticing it.
• The arena staff informed Lin Yuan that his next fight would be the final bout on the largest platform, against Wind Eagle, one of the Sixteen Assassins.
• Wind Eagle looked forward to fighting Zero and resolved to kill him as he pursued advancement in the Slaughter Domain and higher arena ranks.

Lin Yuan faced Wind Eagle in the Slaughter Arena, where Wind Eagle’s powerful Slaughter Wind attacks revealed his growth into a monster-level fighter. The chapter ended as Wind Eagle’s relentless Slaughter Storm raged and the arena’s timekeeper chimed for the third time, before the battle’s outcome was shown.

• Lin Yuan entered the arena to skeptical spectators while Wind Eagle prepared to fight for a chance to advance.
• Wind Eagle opened with Slaughter Wind, but Lin Yuan took the attack without serious harm and studied the forces behind Slaughter Authority.
• Wind Eagle realized Lin Yuan was far stronger than expected and resolved to prove his own growth.
• Wind Eagle unleashed a much stronger Slaughter Storm that intensified across the ring, leading nearby combatants to assume he had won.
• The timekeeping device chimed for the third time as the storm continued.

Lin Yuan defeated Wind Eagle with a single punch after suppressing his wind abilities, drawing a stunned reaction from the arena. Back at his lodging, he received a letter from Lao Jiu about arranging his next fight and trying Blood Wine.

• After three minutes, Lin Yuan stopped holding back and suppressed Wind Eagle’s wind abilities.
• Lin Yuan used water jets to propel himself forward and killed Wind Eagle with one punch.
• The referee announced Lin Yuan’s victory, and the spectators celebrated his unexpected display of strength.
• The other combatants and Blood King concluded that Lin Yuan was exceptionally powerful, while Blood King planned to kill him after a week.
• Lin Yuan returned to his lodging and found Lao Jiu’s letter offering to arrange his next fight and inviting him to try Blood Wine.

Lin Yuan strengthened his Ship Hull with Dragon Essence, raising his Health to one billion, while Lao Jiu secretly carried Blood Wine to a chamber containing a Giant Mushroom. After Zero dominated the Slaughter Arena and spectators expected him to face Blood King, the arena announced an unexpected arrangement for his next match.

• Lin Yuan replied to Lao Jiu that he wanted battles arranged as soon as possible and against the hardest opponents, then learned Little Black could upgrade his Ship Hull with Dragon Essence.
• Lin Yuan put off visiting Lao Jiu and returned to his lodging to have Little Black strengthen the Ship Hull.
• Lao Jiu refused One-Eye more Blood Wine, secretly took barrels from an underground store, and carried them toward a room containing a Giant Mushroom.
• Over the following week, Lin Yuan's Health rose to one billion, and Zero won increasingly difficult arena matches, becoming a popular candidate to join the Four Heavenly Kings.
• Spectators expected Zero to face Blood King, who had already applied for a deathmatch, but the arena's match notice surprised Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan entered the Slaughter Emperor Battle to obtain the Primordial Era Spirit Mushroom from the Primordial Era Spirit Mushroom King, while planning to avoid drawing attention from Minglong City's officials. Before the match began, Lao Jiu remained missing, and the deputy city lord failed to appear at the arena.

• Lin Yuan read that the Slaughter Emperor Battle would pit the four Heavenly Kings and Zero against each other alongside ferocious beasts, including the Primordial Era Spirit Mushroom King, and decided to enter for its treasure.
• Lin Yuan planned to act cautiously because the deputy city lord and the city defense army commanders would attend, then decided to visit Lao Jiu's bar before his final arena match.
• One-Eye told Lin Yuan that Lao Jiu had been missing since the previous day and had a rare Authority domain called Disorder.
• Lin Yuan waited for Lao Jiu, but he never returned, so Lin Yuan went to the Slaughter Arena with a growing sense of unease.
• Lin Yuan saw six people seated on the viewing platform while the central chair, apparently reserved for the deputy city lord, remained empty even as the host prepared to start the match.

Lin Yuan entered the Slaughter Emperor Battle while the City Defense Army commanders watched him with suspicious interest. Blood King attacked him immediately, but Lin Yuan focused on defense and kept his attention on the arena’s lift and the commanders.

• The six City Defense Army commanders opened their eyes to scrutinize Lin Yuan as he entered the arena, then closed them again.
• Lin Yuan suspected trouble was brewing in Minglong City and planned to kill the Primordial Era Spirit Mushroom King and use the Gold Dragon corpse after the match.
• The host began the Slaughter Emperor Battle, and Slaughter King, Strength King, and Shadow King spread out while Blood King charged at Lin Yuan.
• Lin Yuan defended against Blood King's attacks while remaining wary of the commanders, whose gazes seemed covetous.
• Blood King grew frustrated when he realized Lin Yuan was not truly suppressed and barely paid attention to him.

Lin Yuan watched the arena’s commanders and waited for the Primordial Era Spirit Mushroom King while the battle escalated around him. Blood King destroyed the arena floor, revealing that the mushroom had become a Chaos Monster, which incapacitated everyone but Lin Yuan with a scream.

• Lin Yuan knocked Blood King into the arena wall with a casual sweep, then noticed the commanders’ minds seemed affected by something they coveted.
• A lion-like beast emerged, and Slaughter King, Strength King, and Shadow King blocked Lin Yuan and Blood King from joining their fight for points.
• Blood King spread his markings across the arena and used them to dissolve its floor, exposing the beast cages below.
• Lin Yuan discovered the Primordial Era Spirit Mushroom King had been corrupted into a Chaos Monster that fed on flesh and blood.
• The Spirit Mushroom Chaos Monster roared, and everyone except Lin Yuan fell unconscious; the creature possessed the strength of an Authority Holder.

Lin Yuan survived Lao Jiu’s Blood Wine attack and discovered that his A-rank Energy countered the pollution of Destruction. He attacked the Spirit Mushroom Chaos Monster to save the commanders and obtain the Primordial Era Spirit Mushroom, but found that Chaos’s power was far harder to purge than Destruction.

• The Spirit Mushroom Chaos Monster sprayed Blood Wine at Lin Yuan and the six commanders, infecting them with pollution that Lao Jiu had prepared for Lin Yuan.
• Lin Yuan purged the Destruction pollution from himself and realized Lao Jiu might be the anchor through which Chaos was polluting Minglong City.
• Lin Yuan saw the commanders struggling under the worsened pollution and decided to kill the Spirit Mushroom Chaos Monster before it mutated further.
• The Spirit Mushroom Chaos Monster drained the unconscious Four Heavenly Kings while Lin Yuan attacked it with the Holy Hall Light Blade and A-rank Energy.
• Lin Yuan found that his energy purged Destruction from the monster but barely affected Chaos, revealing why it had taken so much energy to kill the Crawler Apostle.

Lin Yuan drew out the Explore the Sea Dragon Soul to distract the Spirit Mushroom Chaos Monster and the polluted commanders, then cut off and stored the monster’s lingzhi cap. As the newly formed Chaos Monster attacked the commanders, Lin Yuan fled the Slaughter Arena with one commander in pursuit.

• Lin Yuan withdrew the Holy Hall Light Blade and summoned the Explore the Sea Dragon Soul, which fought the Spirit Mushroom Chaos Monster while the polluted commanders recognized and coveted the Dragon Soul.
• Lin Yuan used the Shell Pump to reach the monster’s head and hacked off its lingzhi cap, then stored it in the Lin Yuan's Warehouse.
• The Spirit Mushroom Chaos Monster lost its remaining original power, melted into surrounding debris, and attacked the six mutating commanders with sludge tentacles.
• Lin Yuan realized the newborn Chaos Monster was instinctively seeking Destruction power and fled as it weakened the commanders.
• One commander escaped the sludge, pursued Lin Yuan for the Dragon Soul, and flew with him out of the Slaughter Arena.

Lin Yuan fled a City Defense Army commander through Minglong City while testing his A-rank energy on a polluted treasure. He upgraded the Conversion Line, consumed Gold Dragon’s Authority Body to triple his energy capacity, and left the commander unaware that Lin Yuan now saw him as another target.

• A Lang recognized Lin Yuan fighting a commander and left to gather people for an uprising.
• Lin Yuan used his A-rank energy to expel Chaos power from the Primordial Era Spirit Mushroom.
• Lin Yuan fed the mushroom into the fully upgraded Conversion Line, bringing it to a 100% conversion rate.
• Lin Yuan converted Gold Dragon’s Authority Body into energy and raised his capacity to 300 million, reaching roughly 500th place in the Authority Ranking.
• Lin Yuan looked toward the pursuing commander and considered him another Authority Body to convert.

Lin Yuan used his A-rank Energy to weaken a polluted City Defense Army commander and killed him after summoning the Explore the Sea Dragon Soul. He escaped the other commanders by hiding nearby, but the Dragon Soul’s appearance awakened a mysterious black figure in the City Lord’s Mansion.

• Lin Yuan tested his strength against the commander and realized his A-rank Energy could erode the commander’s Destruction Authority.
• Lin Yuan repeatedly attacked the commander, weakening him as the power of destruction consumed his power of slaughter.
• After an explosion at the Slaughter Arena suggested the Spirit Mushroom Great Chaos Monster had been killed, Lin Yuan summoned the Explore the Sea Dragon Soul and overwhelmed the commander.
• The Dragon Soul’s appearance stirred a black figure from the City Lord’s Mansion, but Lin Yuan killed the commander, collected his Authority Body, and fled.
• Lin Yuan secretly returned to a nearby house and hid while the other commanders searched unsuccessfully, then wondered who the black figure was.

Lin Yuan converted the City Defense Army commanders’ Authority Bodies and discovered they had contained a large amount of Dragon Qi. He realized this confirmed a Dragon Ancestral Land was hidden in Minglong City, then let the Explore the Sea Dragon Soul consume the Dragon Qi.

• Lin Yuan suspected the dark figure in the City Lord’s Mansion was the Deputy City Lord rather than Minglong and wondered where the City Lord had gone.
• Lin Yuan processed the commanders’ Authority Bodies and learned that most of their energy had dissipated after death.
• Lin Yuan fed the remaining Authority Bodies into the Production Workshop, raising his A-rank Energy to 450 million.
• The conversion line unexpectedly produced a large number of little golden dragons, which Lin Yuan recognized as Dragon Qi fused into the commanders’ bodies.
• Lin Yuan concluded that the commanders’ Dragon Qi proved a Dragon Ancestral Land existed in Minglong City and summoned the Explore the Sea Dragon Soul to eat it.

Lin Yuan used a dragon’s roar to isolate and ambush one of the mutated City Defense Army Commanders, hoping to defeat them one by one. When loyal soldiers rushed to the commander’s aid, Chaos Monsters transformed from A Lang and the Rebel Army attacked them.

• Explore the Sea Dragon Soul devoured Dragon Qi and turned pure gold, though its body remained illusory and its perfect evolution still required the Dragon Clan’s Ancestral Land.
• Lin Yuan concluded that the Ancestral Land was likely inside the City Lord’s Mansion and began planning how to deal with the Deputy City Lord.
• Panic and violence spread through Minglong City as its mutated commanders circled overhead, searching for the source of a dragon’s roar.
• Lin Yuan used the roar to draw the commanders away from one another, then ambushed and suppressed the isolated commander at the rear.
• City Defense Army soldiers rushed to help their commander, but Chaos Monsters transformed from A Lang and the Rebel Army sprang from the shadows and attacked them.

Lin Yuan used the Rebel Army’s attack on Minglong City to eliminate a commander, then joined the fight over the Explore the Sea Dragon Soul. He fed it the Dragon Qi converted from defeated commanders, restoring its wounds and greatly strengthening it as three commanders continued the battle.

• A Lang’s Rebel Army defeated the City Defense Army, offered Lin Yuan a chance to join them, and then departed after agreeing to remain neutral toward him.
• Lin Yuan killed the City Defense Army commander and fed his Authority Body into the Conversion Line before heading toward the city’s corner.
• Four commanders attacked the Explore the Sea Dragon Soul, while Lin Yuan lured one commander away from the others and killed him.
• Lin Yuan joined the fight, defeated a third commander, and used the Conversion Line to send Dragon Qi from two commanders to the Dragon Soul.
• The Explore the Sea Dragon Soul absorbed the Dragon Qi, healed its wounds, and grew several times stronger.

Lin Yuan defeated the three commanders, refined their Authority Bodies, and brought the Explore the Sea Dragon Soul to its ultimate form. Still blocked by a Health limit and seeking the Dragon Ancestral Land, he flew toward Minglong City’s City Lord’s Mansion to investigate.

• Lin Yuan used the Explore the Sea Dragon Soul and his own attacks to defeat the three commanders.
• He converted the final Authority Body into A-rank Cores, raising his energy capacity to one billion before his maximum Health stopped him from refining more.
• Lin Yuan worried that Little Black was not progressing quickly enough on the level-seven ship hull, but decided against asking Senior Moge to help.
• The Explore the Sea Dragon Soul devoured the final commander’s Dragon Qi and reached its ultimate form, though Lin Yuan sensed it needed another power to evolve further.
• Lin Yuan recalled the Dragon Soul and flew toward the City Lord’s Mansion to investigate the Dragon Ancestral Land and the Deputy City Lord’s silence.

Lin Yuan entered the City Lord's Mansion searching for the Deputy City Lord and discovered Lao Jiu had infiltrated it. After Lao Jiu fought the Deputy City Lord, his Blood Wine awakened a power the Explore the Sea Dragon Soul needed for Perfect Evolution, drawing the Deputy City Lord's attention to Lin Yuan's dragon.

• Lin Yuan entered the City Lord's Mansion and found Special Guards dead in pools of blood mixed with Lao Jiu's Blood Wine.
• Lao Jiu and the Deputy City Lord burst out of the Main Castle and fought, with the Deputy City Lord seemingly tearing off Lao Jiu's limbs.
• Lao Jiu's blood gathered toward Lin Yuan, who tried to flee and refused to fight the Deputy City Lord.
• Blood Wine struck Lin Yuan, and its power caused the Explore the Sea Dragon Soul to manifest and roar.
• The Deputy City Lord looked from Lao Jiu's severed limbs to the Golden Giant Dragon and finally fixed his gaze on the dragon.

Lin Yuan fought the Deputy City Lord, whose potent Slaughter power injured him and hindered his recovery, while hoping Lao Jiu would find the Dragon Ancestral Land. When the Deputy City Lord killed the rebel Chaos Monsters, their corpses merged into a massive genuine Chaos Monster.

• Lin Yuan clashed with the Deputy City Lord and realized his Slaughter power followed a path other than Destruction.
• Lin Yuan retreated through Minglong City, hoping the Deputy City Lord would be drawn away from Lao Jiu, who was searching the City Lord's Mansion for the Dragon Ancestral Land.
• Lin Yuan ran into a battle between the Rebel Army and the City Defense Army, and the Deputy City Lord caught up with him.
• The rebel Chaos Monsters attacked the Deputy City Lord, but his killing intent sliced them into fragments.
• Pollution surged from the rebels' corpses, which fused into black mud and formed an enormous genuine Chaos Monster.

Lin Yuan witnessed genuine Chaos Monsters emerge and realized their spread would doom Minglong City, so he escaped while the Deputy City Lord stayed behind. He then deduced that Lao Jiu had only recently learned the Dragon Ancestral Land was in the city, and suspected City Lord Minglong was using its dragon qi to strengthen the Commanders and his Slaughter Authority.

• Lin Yuan saw a Great Chaos Monster transform nearby Rebel Army Chaos Monsters into genuine Chaos Monsters and judged Minglong City beyond saving.
• Lin Yuan fled as the Deputy City Lord battled the Great Chaos Monster, then hid until the Deputy City Lord left without finding him.
• Lin Yuan wondered why Lao Jiu had not found the Dragon Ancestral Land and deduced that Lao Jiu had discovered its presence only recently.
• Lin Yuan connected Lao Jiu’s discovery to the Commanders’ interest in the Explore the Sea Dragon Soul during the Slaughter Arena upheaval.
• Lin Yuan concluded that City Lord Minglong had likely supplied dragon qi from the Dragon Ancestral Land to strengthen the Commanders and had gone into seclusion there to raise his Slaughter Authority.

Lin Yuan deduced that the Deputy City Lord might be the key to opening the Dragon Ancestral Land and returned to the City Lord's Mansion to test his theory. He and Lao Jiu teamed up against the Deputy City Lord, though both remained wary of each other.

• Lin Yuan reasoned that the Explore the Sea Dragon Soul could open the Dragon Ancestral Land and that its hidden entrance might be inside the Deputy City Lord.
• Lin Yuan flew through Minglong City, where Chaos Monsters battled the City Defense Army, locals, and arena experts, and returned to the City Lord's Mansion.
• Lin Yuan found Lao Jiu held by the Deputy City Lord and charged in, declaring that the key to the Dragon Ancestral Land was inside their enemy.
• Lao Jiu agreed to cooperate, sprayed Blood Wine over the Deputy City Lord, and gave Lin Yuan an opening to punch him away.
• Lao Jiu chose to stay and fight beside Lin Yuan, while both kept their distance and watched for betrayal.

Lin Yuan and Lao Jiu fought the Deputy City Lord while trading guarded information about Minglong and the Dragon Ancestral Land. Lao Jiu explained Minglong’s mysterious origins and history, while Lin Yuan questioned the Deputy City Lord’s strange, puppet-like condition.

• Lin Yuan and Lao Jiu held back some of their strength as they battled the Deputy City Lord, and Lao Jiu urged Lin Yuan to use the Explore the Sea Dragon Soul.
• Lin Yuan reasoned that they needed to force something hidden inside the Deputy City Lord out before using the Dragon Soul to open the true Dragon Ancestral Land.
• Lao Jiu described Minglong as a First Generation from the Holy Land World who condensed Slaughter Authority, founded Minglong City, and pursued the Dragon Ancestral Land.
• Lao Jiu asked how Lin Yuan obtained the Explore the Sea Dragon Soul, and Lin Yuan said it had been passed down directly by the Three Saints.
• Lin Yuan asked Lao Jiu who the Deputy City Lord was and wondered why the man had lost his reason despite seeming less polluted than Minglong and the Commanders.

Lin Yuan learned that the Deputy City Lord was likely Minglong's clone and used the Explore the Sea Dragon Soul to unlock the truth of the Dragon Ancestral Land. The chapter ended with Minglong City transforming into a battlefield and revealing itself as the Dragon Ancestral Land.

• Lao Jiu told Lin Yuan that he believed the Deputy City Lord was Minglong's clone, and Lin Yuan agreed the theory explained the man's origins and condition.
• Lin Yuan said he could open the Dragon Ancestral Land but needed the Deputy City Lord suppressed, so Lao Jiu used his hidden wine barrel to throw strange wines over him.
• The Deputy City Lord's powers became chaotic, allowing the Explore the Sea Dragon Soul to sense and enter the hidden lock inside him.
• Dragon Qi erupted from the Deputy City Lord and spread throughout Minglong City, growing stronger as it absorbed energy from the fighting.
• Phantom battlefields appeared across Minglong City, and Lin Yuan realized the city itself was the Dragon Ancestral Land transformed into a battlefield.

Lin Yuan realized the Dragon Ancestral Land was formed from war aura and evolved Explore the Sea into a Gold Dragon, but the dragon lacked enough Dragon Qi to become an Ancestral Dragon. He concluded that a new battle in Minglong City might provide the war aura needed to complete the evolution.

• Lin Yuan recognized that the Dragon Ancestral Land appeared when war aura was released, then escaped into the mist and recalled the Explore the Sea Dragon Soul.
• Lin Yuan discovered that he and the others in the mist were phantoms to the people and Chaos Monsters in Minglong City.
• Lin Yuan used the Dragon Ancestral Land to evolve Explore the Sea, which became a Gold Dragon as illusory dragons gathered around it.
• The Gold Dragon’s evolution slowed when the Ancestral Land ran short of Dragon Qi and dragon’s will, which Minglong had already consumed to sublimate his slaughter authority.
• Lin Yuan rejected the idea that fate had stopped the evolution and realized Dragon Qi could be generated through battle; he looked toward the fighting between humans and Chaos Monsters in Minglong City.

Lin Yuan returned from the Dragon Ancestral Land to Minglong City and rallied the scattered survivors against the Chaos Monsters. As the survivors fought together, the Power of War strengthened them, while dragon phantoms gathered and some vanished into the mist.

• Little Gold opened a doorway between the Dragon Ancestral Land and Minglong City, and Lin Yuan passed through to help generate Dragon Qi.
• Lin Yuan flew to the Slaughter Arena and used the Holy Hall Light Blade to weaken the Chaos Monsters surrounding it.
• Lin Yuan organized the arena survivors and rushed across the city to help other groups reach safety.
• Several hundred thousand survivors gathered in the Slaughter Arena, and Lin Yuan led them out to clear the city because their supplies were insufficient.
• The survivors' fighting strength grew as dragon phantoms formed from the Power of War, with some returning to strengthen them and others disappearing into the mist.

Lin Yuan discovered that the power of war drove rapid evolution, battled a Great Chaos Monster, and helped the survivors secure Minglong City while Little Gold completed its evolution. After returning to the Dragon Ancestral Land, Lin Yuan learned Little Gold had excess, unusually potent Dragon Qi and began considering how to use it.

• Lin Yuan realized the power of war accelerated evolution, explaining the survivors' rapid growth and Minglong's enhanced slaughter authority.
• When a Great Chaos Monster attacked and killed survivors, Lin Yuan fought it and held the upper hand, restoring the survivors' resolve.
• Lin Yuan studied the power of war during the battle, noticing that it slightly increased his strength and vitality but did not affect his energy.
• Lin Yuan killed the Great Chaos Monster as the survivors cleared most of the remaining monsters, and Little Gold completed its evolution.
• Little Gold opened a misty gateway, and Lin Yuan returned to the Dragon Ancestral Land, where he saw Little Gold's new white-gold form.
• Little Gold told Lin Yuan it had stored excess special Dragon Qi that could not be kept for long, and Lin Yuan thought of a way to use it.
