As Chiyou's army attacked cultivation sects across Youzhou, Su Tianshuang and the Black Wind Society Fourth Squad fought back while Duan Canghai and Chiyou faced two Void Penetration experts at Zhuolu.

• Lin Fei tore out Liu Haokai's heart, kept him alive with the Miraculous Hand, and told him he could survive if anyone called him a good person.

Qiushui and Dongxue fought a vast Chiyou army while a soul-form commander repeatedly resurrected its fallen soldiers. As the women faced mounting danger, Qiushui used her own blood to unleash a desperate zither technique.

• Qiushui wounded the centurion and his guards with wind blades, but the centurion shattered her defensive barrier and injured her.
• Qiushui played Night Mooring on the Autumn River to heal her own injuries and Dongxue’s wounds.
• The Chiyou commander raised her staff and resurrected the fallen corpses, forcing Qiushui and Dongxue to face renewed attacks.
• After one of her strings snapped, Qiushui bit her tongue, spilled blood across the remaining six strings, and began the Heart's Blood Breaking Strike Performance.

Lin Fei survived nirvana, forged his own innate Chaos Body, and advanced to early Spirit Transformation before divining that someone he cared about faced danger near Youzhou. He rushed there as Dongxue and Qiushui fought Chiyou’s army of living dead, with Qiushui turning to the Painting Things into Reality Art.

• Lin Fei endured the purple-gold nirvana flames and recited verses that restored his body as an incomplete innate Chaos Body.
• Lin Fei absorbed the remaining spiritual flames and a demon cultivator’s Nascent Soul, reaching early Spirit Transformation while his blood and qi purged the demonic aura.

• Qiushui painted a little kitten, and Dongxue felt a sudden pain in her chest and an urge to cough up blood.

Qiushui and Dongxue were overwhelmed by Chiyou’s living dead until Lin Fei arrived and demonstrated the true power of Painting Things into Reality Art. After destroying the army, Lin Fei warned that Duan Canghai had allied with Chiyou, but admitted he was not yet strong enough to defeat them.

• Qiushui’s enormous ragdoll cat and tiny husky failed to protect her and Dongxue from the living dead, and Dongxue collapsed with a severe wound.
• Lin Fei arrived, healed Qiushui, and took her brush as Chiyou’s army charged.
• Lin Fei conjured cavalry, dragons, and phoenixes with Painting Things into Reality Art, annihilating the living dead and scattering the vicious spirit’s soul.
• Lin Fei returned the brush to Qiushui and said Duan Canghai had apparently joined forces with Chiyou.
• When Dongxue asked whether he would wipe them out, Lin Fei said he was not yet their match.

Lin Fei explained why the Barrier Talismans had failed and reassured Qiushui that Ji Yaoguang and the others were safe for now. He then found Su Tianshuang and the Black Wind Society’s Fourth Squad, proved he was Wuming, and revealed that he had entered Spirit Transformation.

• Lin Fei told Qiushui and Dongxue that his weakened state had made their Barrier Talismans useless, then used the River Diagram and Luo Writing to divine that Ji Yaoguang and the others were not in danger.

• Su Tianshuang learned Lin Fei had reached early Spirit Transformation and raged at the news, while Hong Tu warned him that Lin Fei was now stronger than he was.
• Lin Fei identified the signs of a battle between his master, the North Sea palace master, Chiyou, and Duan Canghai, then proposed bringing healing resources to the North Sea Ice Palace.

• Huo Feng revealed that he had secretly reached early Void Penetration and warned Huo Yun that the demonic crystal might be connected to the Demonic Venerable of the Six Paths of Reincarnation.
• Huo Yun dismissed the danger, declared that he would pledge allegiance to the Demonic Venerable if revived, and summoned seven-colored flames to attack Huo Feng himself.

Huo Yun defeated Huo Feng with the Soul-Burning Divine Fire, then crippled him and starved him to death to create a powerful ghost. When Huo Feng’s ghost appeared, Huo Yun tried to draw it into the Six Paths Demon Crystal, but when that failed, he set the soul ablaze.

After Huo Yun learned that the Six Paths Demon Crystal required a mindless beast to complete its Animal Realm, he decided to search the Eastern Wasteland for a Flame Phantom Bird. Meanwhile, Lin Fei and Su Tianshuang entered the North Sea Ice Palace and found Lin Kunpeng and Han Zhenbei recovering in the Cold Jade Spring Pool.

• After Huo Feng's ghost vanished, Huo Yun saw its image appear on the Hungry Ghost Realm face of the Six Paths Demon Crystal and celebrated that only the Animal Realm remained.
• When an elder questioned what counted as an animal, a scholarly elder explained that the crystal required an unusual, unintelligent creature that could not take human form.
• The scholarly elder cited Flame Phantom Birds and stone giants as examples, and Huo Yun promoted him to grand elder.
• Huo Yun decided that the Fire Cloud Tribe would travel to the Eastern Wasteland to find a Flame Phantom Bird.
• Lin Fei and Su Tianshuang arrived at the North Sea Ice Palace, passed its guards, and entered after presenting their credentials, while Hong Tu and the others waited outside.
• Lin Fei and Su Tianshuang reached the Cold Jade Spring Pool, where Lin Kunpeng and Han Zhenbei were recovering from their injuries.

Lin Fei gave Lin Kunpeng and Han Zhenbei two Nascent Souls from Void Insight Realm demonic beasts, claiming he had obtained the Sword Emperor Jiang Liuyun’s inheritance and protection. Lin Fei and Su Tianshuang were granted the chance to attempt the North Sea Soul Martial trials, though Han Zhenbei warned that they could die.

• Lin Fei mentioned his sixth senior brother’s Supreme Yin Physique, and Lin Kunpeng persuaded Han Zhenbei to let both juniors attempt the trials.

Lin Fei entered the North Sea Ice Palace’s trial grounds, where a formation suppressed him to late Nascent Soul and fire-wielding puppets attacked. He destroyed dozens of them in one strike and continued deeper into the ancient city.

• Lin Fei entered the small world of the trial grounds and saw an ancient ice city guarded by lava warriors and masked figures.
• The trial’s formation suppressed Lin Fei’s cultivation to late Nascent Soul, and the puppets attacked him under orders to kill intruders.
• Lin Fei used Bright Moon Rises over the Sea to slow the guards and pushed through their flames.
• Lin Fei struck one puppet with Ice-White Divine Palm, freezing it, then unleashed Jade Waves Split the Heavens.
• Lin Fei’s waves shattered dozens of same-realm puppets, after which he let his manifestation fade and advanced.

Lin Fei faced a defensive trial in the North Sea Ice Palace, enduring the relentless attacks of four Flame Phantom Birds for seven and a half minutes. He survived with much of his ice still intact and found the challenge underwhelming.

• Lin Fei entered the great hall and learned he had to survive seven and a half minutes of attacks from four Flame Phantom Birds that could not be killed.
• Lin Fei dodged the birds’ concentrated fire with Seven Steps of the Heavenly Demon and Phantom Shadow Elusive Traces, avoiding every attack.
• When the birds blanketed the hall with flames, Lin Fei used Heaven and Earth Primordial Unity to form a barrier, then summoned Bright Moon Rises over the Sea as the barrier weakened.
• Lin Fei used Falling Snow Forms a Stele to encase himself in ice while the moonlight slowed the attacks.
• After the trial ended, Lin Fei emerged with the ice only half melted and remarked that the challenge had been too easy.

Lin Fei passed the inner demon trial by enduring memories spanning millions of years, while demons gathered to test whether Zhu Qingfeng was too injured to defend the Hall of Ten Thousand Demons. The chapter ended as hundreds of demons charged the hall and Zhu Qingfeng warned them off while secretly panicking.

• Lin Kunpeng and Han Zhenbei guessed that Wuming was still struggling in the first trial, unaware that Lin Fei had already passed the second and entered the third.
• Lin Fei faced memories of loss, extinction, loneliness, and betrayal, but his heart remained unshaken and he passed the inner demon trial.
• Demons gathered outside the Hall of Ten Thousand Demons, suspecting Zhu Qingfeng was gravely weakened and coveting the hall’s treasures.
• A demon threw a giant white insect toward the hall, and the Flame Phantom Bird rushed inside as the scaled guard fought it to a standstill.
• Believing Zhu Qingfeng would not intervene, hundreds of demons charged the hall, and Zhu Qingfeng threatened them while trembling in fear.
