Lin Yi learned from Ling Shanshan and Shen Ni Ni about the upheaval outside the Dragon Realm and the trial’s special treasure objective. With most of their team scattered inside the realm, Lin Yi set out with Ling Shanshan, Shen Ni Ni, and Niu Chuangchuang to find Chen Lin and Lumba, then spotted their location with the Heavenly Mystery Dao Eye.

Ling Yunxiao gave Shen Jinghong the Earth Treasure and invited Lin Yi to join a gathering about obtaining the Dragon Realm’s special item. As Lin Yi’s team traveled onward, Niu Chuangchuang sought an Immortal Pill and offered to sell his Thunder Sound Realm Divine Ability to reach the Emperor Realm.

Lin Yi settled his group in a concealed valley, moved the young dragons into the Spirit Vine World, and discussed Shen Jinghong’s Sword Dao ambitions with her. After studying Elder Qingfeng’s method for creating an Inner World, Lin Yi remained unsure how to make such a world stable, while Niu Chuangchuang and his companions returned with Dragon Stone Flowers.

• Lin Yi reconsidered Elder Qingfeng’s Heaven and Earth Creation Law but could not work out how to create a stable Inner World.
• Niu Chuangchuang, Chen Lin, and Lumba returned carrying Dragon Stone Flowers and reeking of dragon dung.

• Two days later, the teams led by Ling Yunxiao, Lin Yi, Gu Chengan, and Ji Wuyi gathered on a remote Dragonless Island, where Ling Yunxiao began discussing the three Emperor Realm Demon Dragons.

Ling Yunxiao told Lin Yi and the others that the Academy Elders’ special items were treasures left by the Dragon God for the Three Dragon Heirs, and revealed that he had learned of one from the Star Demon Dragon. He left the group with the location and nature of a Dragon God relic: an unchanged sprouting tree root held by the Star Demon Dragon.

• Ling Yunxiao explained that the Three Dragon Heirs were Emperor Dragons left by the Dragon God, who had given each a special treasure.
• Ling Yunxiao said he had encountered the Star Demon Dragon on an island and earned its willingness to negotiate by resisting it with a powerful trump card.
• Ling Yunxiao revealed that the Star Dragon Fruit growing on the island was a premium Emperor Fruit beneficial to those cultivating an Indestructible Body Star Core.

• Ling Yunxiao described the relic as a sprouting tree root that the Star Demon Dragon had nurtured for tens of thousands of years without changing.

Ling Yunxiao proposed that Lin Yi, Shen Jinghong, Gu Chengan, and Ji Wuyi ambush the wounded Star Demon Dragon to obtain its Star Dragon Fruits and pursue the Trial’s mysterious tree root. As they prepared, Lin Yi concealed his own Emperor Realm breakthrough and revealed the powerful Chaos Profound Bell, surprising Ling Yunxiao.

• The Banyan Dragon explained that the Star Demon Dragon grew stronger by devouring Star Power and presented Lin Yi with several treasures from its elder brothers.

Banyan Dragon gave Lin Yi the Creation Demon Dragon Origin and three Star Dragon Fruits, while the Academy trial in the Demon Dragon Realm was disrupted by a spreading invasion from the Dark Mist Realm. Unaware of the invasion, Lin Yi and his companions reached the Star Dragon Domain and prepared to attack the Star Demon Dragon.

• Banyan Dragon explained that his second brother had given him three Star Dragon Fruits and that he considered the other Dragon Heirs' fates their own responsibility.
• New Students gathered beneath the Sacred Dragon Mountain Range and planned to break into the Dragon Realm Secret Realm, but they learned that black mist was spreading across the surface.
• Zhao Ruoming and the New Students recognized the mist as having the same origin as the Dark Mist Realm and feared it would transform native creatures into evil beings.
• Academy Elders suspected Emperor Jin Mie had caused the Dark Mist Realm invasion, but the Great Elder ordered them to treat it as an obstacle in the trial and continue.
• Ling Yunxiao led Lin Yi and their companions to the Star Dragon Domain, where he planned to enter first and signal the others to attack the Star Demon Dragon.

Lin Yi and his allies ambushed the wounded Star Demon Dragon in the Star Dragon Domain and killed it with a coordinated assault. The group survived, while Ji Wuyi arrived too late to help and wondered whether he would still receive a share of the spoils.

• Lin Yi proposed blocking the starlight, and Ling Yunxiao gave him Heaven-Covering Talismans before entering the Star Dragon Domain to lure out the Star Demon Dragon.
• Lin Yi, Gu Chengan, Shen Jinghong, and Ji Wuyi waited outside until Ling Yunxiao's battle signal sounded, then rushed into the domain with the stars obscured.

• Ji Wuyi arrived after the battle and wondered whether he would receive a share of the spoils, while Ling Yunxiao explained that the dragon had already been badly injured.

Ling Yunxiao secretly spared the Star Demon Dragon and planned to take it to Starfall Academy, while Lin Yi’s group collected the Star Dragon Fruits and a mysterious tree root. When they emerged from the Dragon Domain, Su Muqing trapped them in the Myriad Talisman Kill Formation.

• Ling Yunxiao concealed the Star Demon Dragon in his palm, promised to help it rebuild an Emperor Dragon body, and learned that it suspected Lin Yi of working with the Banyan Dragon.
• Lin Yi, Gu Chengan, Ji Wuyi, and the others found five Star Dragon Fruits, which Ji Wuyi picked before the tree withered into stardust.
• Ling Yunxiao distributed dragon meat, shared a mysterious root he identified as belonging to the Heavenly Wisdom Fruit Tree, and kept most of the dragon corpse for himself.
• Lin Yi and the others left the Star Dragon Domain and discovered that Su Muqing had surrounded them with the Myriad Talisman Kill Formation.

Su Muqing trapped Lin Yi and the others in her Myriad Talisman Kill Formation and demanded the spoils they had obtained in the Dragon Domain. Their attempts to break the formation failed, so the group took shelter beneath Lin Yi’s Chaos Profound Bell while Ling Yunxiao neared exhaustion.

• Su Muqing confronted Lin Yi and the others, demanding what they had obtained in the Dragon Domain and threatening them with her Myriad Talisman Kill Formation.
• Ling Yunxiao explained that the formation could kill those newly entered into the Emperor Rank, while Lin Yi suspected someone had revealed their whereabouts.
• Ling Yunxiao and Gu Chengan attacked the formation but were forced back, and Lin Yi used the Chaos Profound Bell to defend himself against its attacks.
• Ji Wuyi fled beneath the bell, followed by Shen Jinghong and the wounded Gu Chengan, as the formation’s lightning and flames continued to strike.
• Lin Yi enlarged the Chaos Profound Bell to shelter the exhausted Ling Yunxiao after the formation’s attacks nearly overwhelmed him.

Lin Yi shielded Ling Yunxiao and the others from Su Muqing’s Myriad Talisman Kill Formation while they recovered, until black mist from the Dark Mist Realm spread across the sea. When Nether Fiend Bull Vipers attacked and forced Su Muqing to divert the formation’s power, the group broke through and escaped.

• Lin Yi used the Chaos Profound Bell to withstand Su Muqing’s relentless attacks while Ling Yunxiao, Gu Chengan, Ji Wuyi, and the others recovered beneath its protection.
• Su Muqing demanded half of the group’s gains from the Star Dragon Domain, but Gu Chengan refused, and she continued attacking them.

• Nether Fiend Bull Vipers emerged from the mist and attacked the Myriad Talisman Kill Formation, prompting Su Muqing to turn the formation against them.
• Ling Yunxiao struck the weakened formation with the Emperor Sword as Lin Yi and the others joined him, and the five escaped through the breach.

Lin Yi and the others escaped the Black Mist, then returned to rescue Su Muqing from the Nether Fiend Bull Vipers. Their rescue was interrupted by an Emperor Realm Nether Fiend Bull Viper crossing into the Dragon Realm, and Lin Yi summoned the Chaos Profound Bell to stop it.

• Gu Chengan, Lin Yi, and the others fought through the Nether Fiend Bull Vipers while Su Muqing was surrounded inside the Myriad Talisman Kill Formation.
• Ji Wuyi and Ling Yunxiao urged the group to rescue Su Muqing, and Lin Yi agreed on the condition that she compensate them for trapping them earlier.
• Ling Yunxiao charged through the Nether Fiend Bull Vipers and brought Su Muqing out, but the creatures pursued them as their leader announced that it wanted a human blood sacrifice for the ancestor's descent.
• Lin Yi sensed an Emperor Realm Nether Fiend Bull Viper crossing through the Black Mist, carrying two Emperor Artifacts, and summoned the Chaos Profound Bell to block it.
• The enormous Chaos Profound Bell rang across the sky, making the Emperor Realm Nether Fiend Bull Viper pause in apprehension.

Lin Yi fought a Six-armed Emperor Realm Nether Fiend Bull Viper crossing into the Dragon Realm and used his undying Qi-Blood to create a version of the Heaven and Earth Great Mill that consumed the Black Mist. The enemy hurled an Evil Spirit Trident into the realm, and Lin Yi was left battling the powerful artifact as the mist thinned.

• Lin Yi struck the Nether Fiend Bull Viper army with the Chaos Profound Bell, then learned from Ling Yunxiao and the others that the Black Mist enabled the Emperor Realm enemy to cross over.
• Lin Yi adapted the Heaven and Earth Great Mill into a Martial Path Divine Ability and formed seven-colored black holes that devoured the Black Mist, making the enemy's crossing figure grow more illusory.
• The Six-armed Nether Fiend Bull Viper summoned more Nether Fiend Bull Vipers from its fur, while Lin Yi suppressed the enemy and burned its forces with Sun Fire.
• The Nether Fiend Bull Viper threw its Evil Spirit Trident Emperor Artifact into the Dragon Realm, and Lin Yi met it with the Chaos Profound Bell as the battlefield's shockwaves tore apart the secret realm.
• Ling Yunxiao, Gu Chengan, and Su Muqing watched Lin Yi's Emperor Realm strength with astonishment as he fought the ownerless trident to a standstill.
