Chapter Summaries

Huo Lian prepared to reforge the Supreme Demon Saber and explained why Huang Xiao and Demon Phoenix needed to be present. The group returned to Huo Lian’s secret chamber to await Ou Jin, leaving Huang Xiao and Demon Phoenix to make contact with the true saber soul.

• Huo Lian said he planned to avoid Kui Yong, return to the Central Plains, and seal the formation again, while Huang Xiao and Demon Phoenix questioned his plans for the others.
• Huo Lian explained that Huang Xiao had to attend the reforging because the Minghong Saber’s true saber soul resonated with him, and the three returned to Mist Mountain without alerting Wei Yidao and the others.
• In Huo Lian’s secret chamber, the group inspected the Supreme Demon Saber, the Minghong Saber, rare materials, and the different flames prepared for the reforging.
• Demon Phoenix said Nirvana Flame had not affected the hidden saber soul, though it had strengthened the Minghong Saber’s true soul, and Huo Lian said they would wait for Ou Jin.
• Huo Lian estimated an eighty percent chance of success and said he wanted the true saber soul to command the reforged Demon Saber; Huang Xiao and Demon Phoenix agreed to communicate with it.

Huang Xiao examined the hidden saber soul inside the Patriarch's Supreme Demon Saber and discovered that it had grown powerful by merging with the blade and drawing on the Imperishability Chapter. He could sense it but could neither weaken nor remove it, leaving the danger of Kui Yong gaining control of the reforged saber unresolved.

• Huang Xiao confirmed that the Minghong Saber's soul had grown stronger and felt more closely connected to him, while Demon Phoenix continued tempering it with nirvana flame.
• Demon Phoenix moved the Minghong Saber farther away from the Patriarch's Supreme Demon Saber to avoid entanglement between them.
• Huang Xiao used supreme demonic qi and his divine sense to probe the Supreme Demon Saber and found the hidden saber soul within it.
• The hidden saber soul counterattacked and drew on the blade's power, revealing that it had become firmly bonded with the Supreme Demon Saber.
• Huang Xiao sensed the Imperishability Chapter's aura in the hidden saber soul and realized he could neither harm it nor separate it from the blade.

Huang Xiao and the others prepared to reforge the Supreme Demon Saber after Ou Jin confirmed the materials and different flames were sufficient. The work began with the first step: dissolving the hidden saber soul.

• After withdrawing his divine sense from the hidden saber soul, Huang Xiao spent five days studying his cultivation methods.

• Huo Lian revealed the Supreme Demon Pearl, Supreme Evil Crystal, and Supreme Demon Core, and Ou Jin found their different flames exceeded his requirements.
• Ou Jin explained that the reforging had two steps: first dissolving the hidden saber soul, then fusing the saber soul and saber body with help from the Demon Phoenix's nirvana flame.
• Huo Lian removed the formation around the Supreme Demon Saber and suppressed it when it responded to the Supreme Demon Core.
• Ou Jin arranged his tools and asked Huo Lian to draw out the different flames to temper the saber before dissolving its hidden saber soul.

Huo Lian used Different Flames to temper the Supreme Demon Saber while Ou Jin applied substances meant to dissolve the Hidden Saber Soul. After the Hidden Saber Soul began resisting, Ou Jin estimated they needed about ten days, and the available flames should last long enough to begin reforging the saber.

• Ou Jin advised Huo Lian to preserve a seed of each Different Flame, and Huo Lian began releasing the flames from the Supreme Treasures.
• Ou Jin coated the Supreme Demon Saber with prepared powders and liquids to help dissolve the Hidden Saber Soul.

• Two hours later, the Supreme Demon Saber trembled, and Ou Jin recognized that the Hidden Saber Soul was fighting back.
• Ou Jin estimated that dissolving the Hidden Saber Soul would take about ten days, after which they could begin reforging the Supreme Demon Saber.

Huo Lian and his allies began reforging the Supreme Demon Saber, a process expected to take six months to a year, while Huang Xiao and Demon Phoenix prepared to strengthen themselves. Meanwhile, Pang Yi learned that Huo Lian was interfering with the saber and ordered a campaign to recover it, ending with plans to awaken the Tomb Clan’s sleeping lords and begin the Demon Hall’s thousand-year period.

• Ou Jin explained that merging the Supreme Demon Saber’s blade and saber soul would take six months to a year, and Huo Lian told Huang Xiao and Demon Phoenix to use the time to improve their strength.

• Mo Pozheng proposed awakening the lords sleeping in the Tomb Clan to begin the Demon Hall’s thousand-year period, and Pang Yi agreed to accompany him.
• Pang Yi declared that he would lead the awakened lords against Huo Lian and Huang Xiao before the Demon Hall swept across the world.

Pang Yi led Mo Pozheng, Shi Hen, and Liu Tengfan to the Tomb Clan’s hidden Land of Slumber to retrieve the Supreme Demon Saber. There, Pang Yi used the Supreme Demonic Art to remove the formation protecting the Previous Hall Masters’ resting place, and the group stood before its sealed stone doors.

• Pang Ji agreed to remain at the Demon Hall while Pang Yi selected Shi Hen, Liu Tengfan, and Mo Pozheng to accompany him to the Tomb Clan.
• Pang Yi’s party reached the Tomb Clan’s lands in Mist Mountain after three days, and he ordered the accompanying elders to wait several dozen li away.
• Mo Pozheng introduced Pang Yi as the Hall Master to the Tomb Clan’s experts, then led the party toward the Previous Hall Masters’ Land of Slumber.
• The Great Elder explained that only the Hall Master could unravel the formation on the stone doors protecting the resting place.
• Pang Yi pressed his hand to the doors while circulating the Supreme Demonic Art, causing the formation runes and restrictions to disappear.

Pang Yi entered the Land of Slumber and used his Supreme Demonic Art to awaken seven Previous Hall Masters from their ice pillars. The pillars shattered, and the seven men's Supreme Demonic Qi began to rise.

• Pang Yi decided to leave at once without notifying Pang Ji, and Mo Pozheng offered to bring trackers to find Huo Lian faster.
• After gathering disciples skilled in tracking, Pang Yi's group left the Hall Master's Land of Slumber and headed into Mist Mountain.

Pang Yi’s party searched Mist Mountain for Huo Lian while Shi Hen and Liu Tengfan feared the consequences of his capture. Meanwhile, Huo Lian’s group discovered that their Different Flames would last only eight days at most, leaving Huo Lian considering possession of the new Supreme Demon Saber as a last resort.

• Mo Pozheng used the jade disc to narrow Huo Lian’s location to an area in Mist Mountain, and Pang Yi ordered the Tomb Clan forces to search it.
• Shi Hen and Liu Tengfan worried that Huo Lian’s death would leave them and their factions vulnerable to the Pang Family.
• Huo Lian told Ou Jin that the Netherworld Flame was nearly spent and more than half the Annihilation Flame had been consumed after five days.
• Ou Jin admitted that he had underestimated the Hidden Saber Soul’s power, and Huo Lian ordered him to continue despite the risk of failure.
• Huo Lian considered having the Hidden Saber Soul possess the new Supreme Demon Saber if the remaining Different Flames could not dissolve it.

As Ou Jin continued trying to dissolve the Hidden Saber Soul, its aura finally weakened, but Huo Lian was called away after intruders triggered the formation. Huang Xiao took over guiding the flames and suppressed the Hidden Saber Soul when its power suddenly surged.

• Ou Jin spent the remaining materials tempering the Hidden Saber Soul, while Huang Xiao reassured the uneasy Minghong Saber's saber soul that he would not let Huo Lian dissolve it.
• Ou Jin announced that the Hidden Saber Soul's aura had begun to weaken, and Huo Lian ordered him to keep going.

• Huang Xiao and Demon Phoenix speculated that the visitors might be people from the Three Immortal Mountains or the Demon Hall, but trusted the formation to hold them off.
• Ou Jin noticed that the Hidden Saber Soul's power had surged, and Huang Xiao released his aura to suppress it until the trembling blade grew still.

Huang Xiao, Ou Jin, and Demon Phoenix tried to suppress the hidden saber soul while reforging the Supreme Demon Saber, as Pang Yi and the seven former Hall Masters attacked Huo Lian's formation. The chapter ended with Huo Lian taunting Pang Yi as the group began working to break in.

• Demon Phoenix suggested that the hidden saber soul's sudden surge was a dying struggle, but Ou Jin doubted it and continued suppressing the soul with Huang Xiao's help.
• Huo Lian sensed Pang Yi and the seven former Hall Masters trying to break his formation, while the second Hall Master estimated it would take at least half a month.

• Huo Lian questioned whether Pang Yi and Mo Pozheng had come for the Supreme Demon Saber, and Mo Pozheng admitted he could sense changes in it.
• Huo Lian revealed that the Supreme Demon Saber held two Saber Souls and said he had already dissolved the puppet Saber Soul nurtured by the former Hall Masters.
• Huo Lian claimed he was dissolving the second Saber Soul and would make the Supreme Demon Saber his alone, causing Pang Yi to order the others to break the formation.
• The seven former Hall Masters realized Huo Lian’s actions might be connected to the First Hall Master, but they could not break through the formation in time.
• Mo Pozheng challenged Huo Lian and told Pang Yi the saber was still unharmed for now, then took out a jade disc.

Mo Pozheng shattered the Jade Plate to open a vortex, paying the price to try to seize the Supreme Demon Saber. As the saber’s resistance overwhelmed Huang Xiao, Huo Lian rushed back to the secret chamber, where the crisis continued.

• Mo Pozheng said he would pay any price to keep Huo Lian from obtaining the Supreme Demon Saber, then shattered the Jade Plate and used its fragments to form a pitch-black vortex.

Huang Xiao and the others prepared to evacuate after the Supreme Demon Saber vanished from Huo Lian’s formation. While Ou Jin and Demon Phoenix worked to make the materials easier to carry, Huang Xiao watched the gathering forces outside and recognized Pang Yi, Mo Pozheng, and numerous Demon Hall experts.

• The Supreme Demon Saber disappeared, and Huo Lian left the Supreme Demon Core behind before rushing out and ordering the others to prepare for evacuation.
• Huang Xiao stored the Supreme Demon Pearl, Supreme Evil Crystal, Supreme Demon Core, and Supreme Ghost Stele in two boxes, then took the Minghong Saber.
• Demon Phoenix and Huang Xiao worried they could not carry all the rare materials, so Ou Jin agreed to refine the ores while Demon Phoenix helped him.
• Huang Xiao adjusted the formation to watch outside and saw Pang Yi, Mo Pozheng, Shi Hen, Liu Tengfan, and many Demon Hall experts gathered there.

Huang Xiao recognized the seven former Demon Hall Masters among the arrivals and realized the Demon Hall had assembled nearly all its strength to confront Huo Lian. As the seven surrounded Huo Lian, he warned Mo Pozheng that he would destroy the Tomb Clan if Mo interfered with his plans.

• The Supreme Demon Saber resonated with Pang Yi’s supreme demonic qi and greatly strengthened his aura.
• Pang Yi declared that Huo Lian would be buried there, while the seven Former Hall Masters watched the saber’s immense power.

• As the fused Fist Force rushed toward him in midair, Huo Lian dropped toward it and drove his right elbow into it.
