• Sun Wen hid the two wounded men, cleaned the blood away, and told Yu Sheng that Zhao Zicheng’s secret stash could fund a banquet.
• Yu Sheng told Zhao Zicheng that Sun Wen and Xu Yuanqing had seen him hide his money, leaving Zhao convinced Xu Yuanqing had already taken it.

Yu Sheng and Zhao Zicheng searched an ancient settlement and entered an unremarkable building, where they found a powerful-looking middle-aged man seated in a chair. Yu Sheng identified him as the corpse of the man from the murals, but the corpse’s eyelids twitched as Yu Sheng backed away with a hammer.

• Zhao Zicheng reasoned that the Demon Clan would investigate the largest courtyard, so Yu Sheng used a spinning spoon to choose an unremarkable building instead.
• A beast roared from the largest building, and Zhao Zicheng and Yu Sheng cautiously approached their chosen building.
• Yu Sheng opened the door and found a middle-aged man in an old-fashioned gown sitting motionless in a grand armchair.
• Yu Sheng sensed no breathing or heartbeat, approached the corpse, and recognized him as the middle-aged man who had defended the city in the murals.
• Yu Sheng wondered whether the ruins held clues to the Ancient Human Race’s extinction and legacy, then spotted the corpse’s eyelids twitching and raised a giant hammer.

Yu Sheng and Zhao Zicheng endured the growing pressure from the seated Middle-Aged Man, which steadily tempered their bodies and purified their energy. Zhao Zicheng retreated to recover, realizing the man might embody the cultivation method Yu Mo had sought.

• Zhao Zicheng fired at the Middle-Aged Man, but the bullet stopped before reaching his brow, and Yu Sheng told Zhao Zicheng to wait.
• As the Middle-Aged Man began to stir, his heartbeat and pressure overwhelmed Zhao Zicheng and Yu Sheng, who grew stronger as their bodies and energy were tempered.
• Zhao Zicheng left the room, noticed his strength and energy had improved, then returned to stand closer to the Middle-Aged Man.
• The pressure intensified until Zhao Zicheng reached his limit, flew outside, and began regulating his energy while recovering.
• Zhao Zicheng realized the Middle-Aged Man’s cultivation might be the method Yu Mo had been seeking, though he wondered whether it was too late to begin.

Yu Sheng endured the middle-aged man's overwhelming pressure until the man awakened and examined Yu Sheng's memories, then learned that the Heavenly Race had vanished. The man lamented his failed plan and disappeared, leaving an ordinary Jade Pendant behind.

• Zhao Zicheng repeatedly entered the room to endure the pressure, strengthening his foundations and gaining a chance to reach the Ninth Awakening.
• The pressure burst apart, sending Yu Sheng to one knee as the middle-aged man opened his eyes.
• The middle-aged man communicated with Yu Sheng, learned he was not of the Heavenly Race, and examined memories of the modern world and its Awakeners.
• The middle-aged man lamented the Heavenly Race's disappearance and questioned whether the long-awaited revival was an opportunity or torment.
• The middle-aged man spread his arms in the sunlight and dissolved into specks of light, leaving a Jade Pendant on the ground.

After the Middle-Aged Man died, Yu Sheng examined the Jade Pendant and considered how it might connect to the people who had revived or remained in the Divine Ruins. He reassured Zhao Zicheng that they should stay on their path while still learning from ancient cultivation methods, leaving Zhao Zicheng ruefully asking him to finish his thoughts in one go.

• The Middle-Aged Man suddenly perished, and Zhao Zicheng wondered whether he had left a soul behind or a cultivation inheritance.
• Yu Sheng picked up the Jade Pendant and speculated that its owners might have revived and then vanished, while questioning what had happened to the person in the Tomb Chamber.
• Yu Sheng put away the Jade Pendant without testing whether it could be broken, then rested with Zhao Zicheng after the pressure in the building nearly overwhelmed them.
• Zhao Zicheng asked whether the Middle-Aged Man had been right that they had chosen the wrong path, and Yu Sheng said they should keep their convictions because the Human Race's Ninth Awakening experts had also fallen.
• Zhao Zicheng regained his confidence and rejected the ancient cultivation methods, but Yu Sheng added that they could still learn from them and strengthen their bodies, prompting Zhao Zicheng to complain that Yu Sheng should finish what he was saying in one go.

Yu Sheng and Zhao Zicheng discovered that the Ancient Beast Race was reviving in a distant building and searched the first floor of their own building for cultivation formulas. They headed toward the beastly roars to disrupt the Beast Race’s plans, while Zhao Zicheng assessed his chances against the Six-Tailed Fox.

• Yu Sheng and Zhao Zicheng recognized that the roars came from the Ancient Beast Race, which was likely reviving in the building where the enslaved beasts had rested.
• Yu Sheng decided to search for Ancient Human cultivation formulas before confronting the Beast Race, while a cheetah watched them and hurried away to report to the Demon Lord’s Legitimate Son.
• Yu Sheng tested the Grand Tutor Chair with his Long Sword, found it indestructible, and let Zhao Zicheng use it as a crutch after storing his Sniper Rifle.
• Yu Sheng and Zhao Zicheng searched the first floor, finding Crystal Stones and paper books that crumbled before they could recover anything useful.
• As the demon aura grew stronger, Yu Sheng and Zhao Zicheng set out to disrupt the revival and deal with the two cheetahs.
• Zhao Zicheng told Yu Sheng he could hold off the Six-Tailed Fox for about seven minutes, but would die within three minutes if it attacked him head-on.

Yu Sheng and Zhao Zicheng killed the two cheetah guards and entered a building where a Nine-Tailed Fox was struggling against its chains. Zhao Zicheng realized the Demon Aura seemed to purify mental energy, leaving him eager to stay and benefit from it.

• Yu Sheng rushed the cheetah guards while Zhao Zicheng shot them with the Sniper Rifle, giving Yu Sheng the opening to kill them.
• Yu Sheng dragged the second cheetah away from the entrance and beat it to death with his Giant Hammer.
• Yu Sheng ordered Zhao Zicheng to attack on sight, then opened the door to the building.
• Yu Sheng and Zhao Zicheng found a pet room filled with scattered bones, where a chained Nine-Tailed Fox roared as two Six-Tailed Foxes struggled to approach it.
• Zhao Zicheng recognized that the Nine-Tailed Fox's Demon Aura seemed to purify mental energy and calculated that every second there could be worth millions.

Yu Sheng and Zhao Zicheng fought the Demon Lord's Legitimate Son and the Six-Tailed Fox while enduring the mental pressure from the sleeping Nine-Tailed Fox. The Demon Lord's Legitimate Son ordered the Six-Tailed Fox to kill Zhao Zicheng, leaving the two humans facing a renewed attack.

• Yu Sheng charged the Demon Lord's Legitimate Son with his Giant Hammer while Zhao Zicheng sat down and fired his Sniper Rifle at the Six-Tailed Fox.
• The Demon Lord's Legitimate Son attacked Yu Sheng with its tails, but Yu Sheng blocked them and proved his body was stronger than the demon expected.
• Zhao Zicheng shot at a tail as Yu Sheng threw bombs, blasting the ground and blackening the Six-Tailed Fox's fur while the Demon Lord's Legitimate Son shielded itself.
• Zhao Zicheng reloaded and kept watch for another chance to shoot the Six-Tailed Fox.
• After confirming the explosions had not disturbed the Nine-Tailed Fox, the Demon Lord's Legitimate Son ordered the Six-Tailed Fox to kill Zhao Zicheng, and it lunged at him.

Zhao Zicheng used taunts and a feigned limp to keep the Six-Tailed Fox chasing him around the room, while Yu Sheng fought the Demon Lord's Legitimate Son in the center of the mental tide. The Six-Tailed Fox remained unable to defeat Zhao Zicheng and called out that it would soon help its prince.

• The Six-Tailed Fox tried to persuade Zhao Zicheng to leave, but he fired at it and mocked its slowed movements.

• The Six-Tailed Fox continued chasing Zhao Zicheng and promised the Demon Lord's Legitimate Son it would finish him and come help.

Zhao Zicheng realized the Six-Tailed Fox had been holding back and watched Yu Sheng battle the Demon Lord's Legitimate Son as the Nine-Tailed Fox awakened. The ancestor exposed the Demon Lord's Legitimate Son's hidden plan, leaving it bewildered.

• Zhao Zicheng figured out that the Six-Tailed Fox was stalling and conserving its strength while watching the fight.
• Yu Sheng and the Demon Lord's Legitimate Son traded blows, with the Six-Tailed Fox alternately attacking Zhao Zicheng and backing off as the battle shifted.
• The Demon Lord's Legitimate Son and the Six-Tailed Fox prostrated themselves as the Nine-Tailed Fox began to awaken.
• The Demon Lord's Legitimate Son urged the ancestor to unite the Beast Race and enslave the Heavenly Race, while Yu Sheng watched and Zhao Zicheng collapsed into a chair.
• The Nine-Tailed Fox questioned why it should enslave the Heavenly Race and revealed that it had read the Demon Lord's Legitimate Son's thoughts about using it to help its father seize power and control a Demon God.

The Nine-Tailed Fox gave the Demon Lord's Legitimate Son Beast Race mental cultivation methods and passed Zhou Wuyang's cultivation technique to Yu Sheng before walking away to join its lost master. As Zhao Zicheng and the Six-Tailed Fox considered their standoff, the Six-Tailed Fox questioned whether either of them had any reason to die for someone else's ideals.

• The Nine-Tailed Fox refused to return to the world or support the war, but gave the Demon Lord's Legitimate Son mental cultivation methods that flooded his mind with painful information.
• The Nine-Tailed Fox told Yu Sheng that Zhou Wuyang had praised him and passed on a cultivation technique combining body and spirit refinement.
• The Nine-Tailed Fox walked away, its body fading as it headed toward its master, while Yu Sheng and the Demon Lord's Legitimate Son processed the techniques they had received.
• Zhao Zicheng and the Six-Tailed Fox watched the Nine-Tailed Fox disappear, and Zhao Zicheng recognized that the Ancient Beast Race could coexist with humans.
• Zhao Zicheng asked the Six-Tailed Fox if it still wanted to fight, and the fox argued that killing each other would accomplish nothing while its superior remained asleep.

The Six-Tailed Fox explained that it avoided killing Zhao Zicheng to protect itself and build a useful connection, then pretended to attack him while moving him away from the Demon Lord's Legitimate Son. As the Demon Lord's Legitimate Son woke up, Zhao Zicheng and the Six-Tailed Fox were still sparring, and the fox refused to risk its life by sharing intelligence.

• The Six-Tailed Fox told Zhao Zicheng it had fought him earlier to avoid drawing suspicion from the nearby Demon Lord's Legitimate Son, and admitted it could have killed him quickly.
• The Six-Tailed Fox said it had spared Zhao Zicheng and other humans to turn enemies into future allies, while warning him that the Demon Lord's Legitimate Son was waking.
• Zhao Zicheng refused to run, so the Six-Tailed Fox lightly struck him and drove him out through the doorway to move the fight away.
• The Six-Tailed Fox said it hoped Zhao Zicheng might repay its favors in the future, but refused to pass him intelligence because it only did risk-free business.
• The Demon Lord's Legitimate Son slowly opened its eyes, delighted by the cultivation technique left by the Nine-Tailed Fox.

Yu Sheng inherited the Nine-Tailed Fox’s master’s memories and learned to control his strength, using an ordinary punch to wound the Demon Lord’s Legitimate Son. The Demon Lord’s Legitimate Son vowed to stop Yu Sheng from carrying the ancient cultivation technique out of the Divine Ruins.

• The Demon Lord’s Legitimate Son attacked Yu Sheng while Yu Sheng was absorbed in the Nine-Tailed Fox’s memories.
• Yu Sheng watched the middle-aged city lord cultivate and realized how he used force to guide force and tear through space.
• Yu Sheng instinctively copied the city lord’s punch and opened a rift that wounded the Demon Lord’s Legitimate Son’s forelimb.
• The Demon Lord’s Legitimate Son realized Yu Sheng had learned to control his strength more precisely and resolved to kill him before he could leave the Divine Ruins with the technique.
• The chapter explained how ancient cultivation techniques could greatly strengthen both the Human Race and the Demon Clan.

Yu Sheng fought the Demon Lord's Legitimate Son over a cultivation technique while Zhao Zicheng and the Six-Tailed Fox watched outside and debated survival. The Demon Lord's Legitimate Son was defeated and passed the technique to the Six-Tailed Fox, who was left facing an injured Yu Sheng.

• The Demon Lord's Legitimate Son attacked Yu Sheng, using newly learned illusions against Yu Sheng's enhanced hammer strikes.
• The Six-Tailed Fox refused to seek the technique, explaining to Zhao Zicheng that doing so would make him a target and urging Zhao Zicheng to stay outside.

• The Demon Lord's Legitimate Son burst from the building, badly wounded, and transferred the cultivation technique to the Six-Tailed Fox while ordering him to flee.
• Yu Sheng emerged with a deep chest wound and a bloodstained hammer, then fixed his gaze on the Six-Tailed Fox.

The Demon Lord's Legitimate Son held Yu Sheng back while the Six-Tailed Fox escaped, then realized Yu Sheng had deliberately kept it alive. It deduced that the cultivation technique might contain a way to control the Demon Clan and understood that it had carried out the Old Ancestor's plan at the cost of its own life.

• The Six-Tailed Fox fled as Zhao Zicheng fired at it, while the Demon Lord's Legitimate Son attacked Yu Sheng to buy it time.
• The Demon Lord's Legitimate Son fought recklessly and was gravely wounded, but Yu Sheng chose not to kill it because it could be captured alive.
• Yu Sheng told Zhao Zicheng he regretted that the Six-Tailed Fox had escaped, though he showed no real concern about the cultivation technique reaching the Demon Clan.
• The Demon Lord's Legitimate Son realized Yu Sheng had been using their fight to practice and had never intended to kill it.
• The Demon Lord's Legitimate Son inferred that the technique could control Demon Beasts and cursed the Old Ancestor for manipulating it into carrying out the plan.

Yu Sheng captured the Demon Lord's Legitimate Son and crippled him after learning that the Beast Race technique contained a flaw. The Six-Tailed Fox decided to hide the technique and pretend it had been trapped in a secret realm, hoping to avoid being killed by the Demon Lord.

• The Six-Tailed Fox explained why it had passed the technique to Yu Sheng and showed no concern for the conflict between the Human Race and the Demon Clan.
• Yu Sheng bound the Demon Lord's Legitimate Son, shattered his limbs, displaced his spine, and muffled his warnings about the technique's flaw.
• The Six-Tailed Fox fled dozens of li and hid inside a mountainside, then stopped its mental power from growing after realizing it had simulated the technique's demon aura circulation route.
• The Six-Tailed Fox reasoned that the Demon Lord would kill it if it returned with the technique, so it resolved to claim it had been trapped in a secret realm and knew nothing about the technique.

Yu Sheng, Zhao Zicheng, and Sun Wen looted the ancient space and tried to take its enormous Ancient Castle with them. The Six-Tailed Fox hid in its cave, unaware of the Demon Lord's Legitimate Son's warnings, while he remained bound and crying out.

• The Six-Tailed Fox weakened itself to conceal that its mental power had increased, then hid in its Mountain Cave and worried about what the Demon Lord might do.
• Yu Sheng and Zhao Zicheng searched the ancient space, found its armory emptied, and dismantled and collected anything they could carry.
• The two left the space with the Demon Lord's Legitimate Son and wondered whether they could put the whole space inside Yu Sheng's Mountains and Seas Bottle.
• Sun Wen saw them emerge and, after hearing that a space was inside, joined their attempt to lift a pillar and take the Ancient Castle.
• The Demon Lord's Legitimate Son kept crying out, hoping the Six-Tailed Fox would hear him and realize the cultivation technique was dangerous.

Eight-Tailed Fox prepared for another journey into the Divine Ruins, ordering a hundred Grassland Leopard tools and three juniors from his own tribe while warning Seven-Tailed Fox not to disrupt his plans.

• Eight-Tailed Fox told Seven-Tailed Fox to stay calm about Ji Hong and Old White Ape, insisting that their troubles would soon be irrelevant to him.
• Eight-Tailed Fox warned Seven-Tailed Fox to keep his departure secret and ordered him to select one hundred Grassland Leopard tools and three juniors from their tribe for the Divine Ruins.

• Eight-Tailed Fox wondered whether Seven-Tailed Fox had developed ambitions of his own after his brother left.
• Yu Mo examined the increasingly stable spacetime passage and considered whether a hidden being, incoming spiritual energy, or a demon plant had changed the Divine Ruins.

Yu Mo hired Shi Guang to accompany him into the Divine Ruins, while the Eight-Tailed Fox feared humans might find an ancient cultivation technique there. He ordered the Seven-Tailed Fox to send a dangerous sixth-level fox into the ruins to kill any humans inside.

• Yu Mo called Shi Guang and learned she had reached the fourth awakening, with the fifth expected to take two months.
• Yu Mo asked Shi Guang to enter the Divine Ruins with him, and she drove his wheelchair through the Space Passage.

• Eight-Tailed Fox Shan ordered the gathered cheetahs to kill any humans they found inside the Divine Ruins.
• Rui arrived and mocked Shan for plotting against him in the war with the Taotie Clan, which had left him deposed and trapped at the Sixth Level.
• Shan told Rui that ancient cultivation techniques in the ruins might restore his path forward, and ordered him to kill any humans and bring the techniques back.
• Rui entered the Mountain Cave, while Shan stayed behind to guard its entrance.
• Old White Ape revealed that he had overheard Shan and Rui by reading their lips, then asked Ji Hong whether his barrier could hide them from Shan.
• Ji Hong said he could kill Shan and get Old White Ape inside the ruins, but Old White Ape lamented that this would spoil his plan to cripple his own foundation and sneak in.

Ji Hong and Old White Ape continued their wary relationship in Skyvault Ravine, with Old White Ape dreaming of taking over the Demon Domain while Ji Hong guarded himself against being manipulated. In the Divine Ruins, Sun Wen failed to pull a building free and threatened the Demon Lord's Legitimate Son.

• Old White Ape joked about making a realistic Demon Beast drama, and Ji Hong left while Old White Ape fantasized about taking control of the Demon Domain.
• After Old White Ape left, Ji Hong reflected on how the ape's kindness could erode his vigilance and resolved to treat their acquaintance as if it had begun that day.
• Ji Hong reminded himself that Old White Ape had laid down only the knife in his hand, then departed.
• In the Divine Ruins, Sun Wen complained that the building was anchored too firmly for his bottle to pull loose.
• The Demon Lord's Legitimate Son glared and cursed at Sun Wen, who slapped him and threatened to lock him inside the building as it drifted away.

Sun Wen, Zhao Zicheng, and Yu Sheng forced the Demon Lord's Legitimate Son to dig out a buried building, then Yu Sheng demonstrated a cultivation technique. The chapter leaves Sun Wen eagerly learning the technique after Zhao Zicheng explained its attack-power benefits.

• Sun Wen proposed using cheetahs to dig, and the three turned to the Demon Lord's Legitimate Son as another possible laborer.
• Yu Sheng healed the Demon Lord's Legitimate Son's forelegs and spine, left its lower back injured, fed it pills, and handed its rope to Sun Wen.
• Yu Sheng tried to teach Sun Wen and Zhao Zicheng a cultivation technique through movements, but Sun Wen mistook them for broadcast calisthenics and focused on plans to make money from the building.
• Zhao Zicheng explained the technique's benefits, prompting Sun Wen to apologize and beg Yu Sheng to demonstrate it again.
• Yu Sheng taught the technique while Sun Wen and Zhao Zicheng followed along, and Sun Wen repeatedly struck the unconscious Demon Lord's Legitimate Son to keep it from waking and listening.
