Chapter Summaries

Ye Wudi recalled how Lin Yuan’s failed resurrection of Song Wei had created a powerful puppet sealed inside a statue, and he planned to claim it and rebuild the Primordial Wilderness Heavenly Court. He arrived at Eternal Night Palace, where Ye Ming welcomed him with a procession of devil women.

• Lin Yuan created a puppet resembling Song Wei through a failed attempt to revive her, then sealed it inside a statue under restrictions set by Six Paths.

• Ye Ming teased Ye Wudi for being a Void Insight Realm mortal who had come to Eternal Night Palace, then opened the doors as twelve devil women emerged with palace lanterns.

• Ye Ming pressed a palm to Ye Wudi’s head, but a mysterious fragment in Ye Wudi’s sea of consciousness made Ye Ming shriek in terror and cracked his primordial spirit.

Ye Ming failed to open the Goddess Yin Moon statue with the Heavenly Demon Jade Token and tortured Ye Wudi for information about a second key, while Lin Fei and Ji Yaoguang secretly entered the Demon Realm. Lin Fei planned to locate Ye Wudi and take the token so he could seek a Late Heavenly Demon Stage body.

• Ye Ming discovered that Ye Wudi possessed a fragment of an Extreme Dao Emperor Weapon, seized the Heavenly Demon Jade Token, and had him imprisoned.
• Ye Ming tried to use the token on the Goddess Yin Moon statue, but it was rejected, so he suspected he needed the bone flute engraved with Yuan as a second key.
• Ye Ming tortured Ye Wudi for the bone flute's whereabouts, then ordered a search across Marquis Yongye's territory for the flute Lin Yuan had left behind.
• Lin Fei and Ji Yaoguang entered the Demon Realm through the Abyss of Ten Thousand Demons disguised as a Devil Race couple, and Lin Fei erased the guard's memories.
• Lin Fei told Ji Yaoguang he wanted to investigate the situation and seek a Late Heavenly Demon Stage body by finding Ye Wudi and obtaining his Heavenly Demon Jade Token.

Lin Fei and Ji Yaoguang reached a remote Devil Race village, where the village’s old man mistook Lin Fei for a deserter fleeing conscription. He blamed Demon Lord Qiye for the war and revealed his sympathy for technological civilizations.

• Lin Fei explained to Ji Yaoguang that divine sense was severely restricted in higher planes and that Human Demons were common in the Demon Realm.
• Lin Fei sensed that the village had no Human Demon experts and no young or middle-aged Devil Race males.
• Ji Yaoguang asked an old Devil Race man if they could stay the night, and he opened the door to them.

Lin Fei learned that Marquis Yongye's son was searching the Eternal Night Continent for the bone flute and decided to infiltrate Eternal Night City to obtain the Heavenly Demon Jade Token and the Heavenly Demon's body. He entered the city in disguise and, after failing one palace maid selection, transformed himself into a beautiful Devil Race woman to try again.

• A Devil Race elder told Lin Fei and Ji Yaoguang that Marquis Yongye's son had used a proclamation jade token to announce a search for Lin Yuan's bone flute.
• Lin Fei deduced that Marquis Yongye's son had the Heavenly Demon Jade Token and assumed the bone flute was nearby, so Lin Fei resolved to enter Eternal Night City.
• Lin Fei left Ji Yaoguang behind, disguised himself as an elderly Devil Race man, and entered Eternal Night City with a forged travel document.
• Lin Fei learned at a teahouse that Eternal Night Palace was selecting palace maids, then transformed into a young Devil Race woman to enter the selection.
• After an evaluator rejected his first appearance, Lin Fei changed into a fair-skinned, elegant beauty and won the examiner's praise.

Lin Fei infiltrated the Eternal Night Palace as a palace maid and was assigned to Youyue, one of Ye Ming’s Lamp-Bearing Envoys. After inventing a remote-village background and claiming skills in hunting, identifying resources, and making poison, he agreed he could torture an enemy brutally, leaving Youyue to judge his answer.

• Lin Fei bound a palace maid identity token to himself and followed the Lamp-Bearing Envoy Youyue to her courtyard.

• Lin Fei claimed he came from a remote mountain village, and Youyue kept his name Lin Fei after briefly considering other names.
• Lin Fei told Youyue he was skilled at hunting and identifying ores and herbs, and the other palace maids mocked him.
• Youyue asked whether Lin Fei could make unusual poisons and ruthlessly torture an enemy, and Lin Fei calmly said yes.

Youyue assigned Lin Fei to work in the Eternal Night Palace dungeon, where prisoners were punished and forced to fight in a brutal arena. Lin Fei showed Youyue he could carry out the prescribed punishments without hesitation, and she watched him closely as he handled a serious offender.

• Youyue assigned Lin Fei to the dungeon and arranged for him to share lodgings with Lan Cao.
• Lin Fei and Youyue found Lan Cao whipping a wolf-headed devil, though Lan Cao had lost count of the lashes.
• Youyue warned Lin Fei to ensure the serious offenders in the deepest section received their full punishments.
• Lin Fei read the prisoners' records and saw that some had been sentenced for offending powerful figures, including Ye Ming and Ao Tian.
• Youyue watched as Lin Fei ruthlessly whipped and cut a prisoner, while the terrified devil begged for mercy.

Lin Fei discovered Ye Wudi imprisoned in a specially monitored cell and recognized him as a reincarnated former ally, though neither recognized the other. While Ye Ming watched through a magical mirror, Lin Fei pretended not to know Ye Wudi and carried out his punishment, leaving Ye Wudi to endure the torture in silence.

• Lin Fei suspected that Youyue and other powerful figures were hiding their strength and preserving their forces instead of joining the northern battlefield.
• Lin Fei entered a cell with special restrictions and found Ye Wudi, a human with the Solar Physique, imprisoned there.
• Ye Ming and a lamp attendant watched the cell through an ink-black crystal mirror and questioned Lin Fei's lack of surprise at seeing a human.
• Lin Fei pretended to be shocked and questioned Ye Wudi, who refused to explain himself and concealed his last-resort trump card.
• Lin Fei drove dark nails into Ye Wudi as punishment, and Ye Wudi endured the pain without crying out.
• Ye Ming grew bored, discarded the mirror, and turned his attention back to the lamp attendant.

• Lan Cao read while eating and unknowingly finished all the rice, apologizing to Lin Fei afterward.
• Lan Cao began taking off her clothes to bathe and invited Lin Fei to join her.

Lin Fei planned to use Youyue to get closer to Ye Ming and uncover the Heavenly Demon Jade Token, but Youyue instead tasked him with making an obsolete soul-bewitching pill. Lin Fei agreed and arranged for extra ingredients so he could secretly make a second pill to control Youyue.

• After Lan Cao undressed in front of him, Lin Fei pondered how to learn about the Heavenly Demon Jade Token through Youyue and possibly reach Ye Ming's dreams.
• Youyue visited Lin Fei and asked him to brew a Seven Orifices Soul-Bewitching Pill, warning him not to ask unnecessary questions.
• Lin Fei listed the rare ingredients and claimed he needed two sets because his success rate was low, though he could refine the pill easily and intended to use one on Youyue.
• Youyue agreed to gather the ingredients through the palace and the two generals' estates across Eternal Enterprise Continent.
• Lin Fei went to the dungeon and tormented the prisoners so severely that they began longing for Youyue's return.

Lin Fei tortured a Devil Race noble and then secretly went easy on Ye Wudi, who mistook her actions for a beauty trap arranged by Ye Ming. Ye Wudi pretended to suffer while trying to understand her motives.

• A Devil Race noble pleaded with Lin Fei for mercy, but his insults provoked her into driving torture spikes into him.
• Lin Fei left the noble in his cell, and the prisoners grew terrified of her unpredictable methods.
• Ye Wudi braced himself for torture, but Lin Fei's first lash hurt less than he expected.
• Ye Wudi realized Lin Fei was secretly reducing the force of her lashes and acted as if he were suffering badly.
• After Lin Fei left, Ye Wudi suspected Ye Ming had sent her to use a beauty trap and vowed to turn it against him.

Lin Fei endured Lan Cao’s persistent attempts to dress and pamper him, then escaped their awkward shopping trip when Youyue arrived with the materials for the Seven Orifices Soul-Bewitching Pill. Youyue took him to a secluded pill-refining chamber and stayed to watch him begin.

• Lan Cao coaxed Lin Fei into going shopping, then embarrassed him in public by insisting that he should wear a dudou because he was a young woman.
• Lan Cao returned with a dudou and embroidered shoes and tried to change Lin Fei into them, so he pinned her down to stop her.
• Youyue arrived and told Lin Fei that the pill-refining materials had arrived; Lin Fei said the work would take three days if his first attempt succeeded, or six otherwise.
• Youyue brought Lin Fei to a secluded pill-refining chamber, laid out the materials and pill furnace, and stayed to observe him.

Lin Fei pretended to refine pills while testing Youyue’s power, then attacked her when the pills neared completion. His strike sent her flying, but she was not sealed, leaving Lin Fei wary of her strength.

• Lin Fei began refining pills with ancient Devil Race techniques and staged a furnace explosion that forced Youyue to contain the destructive energy.
• Youyue used powerful demonic techniques to carry the furnace into the sky, where the Eternal Night Palace’s formation neutralized the blast.
• Lin Fei continued refining the pills under Youyue’s watch, completing the lengthy process on the evening of the third day.
• When the final stage began, Youyue moved to contain the escaping energy, and Lin Fei struck her from behind with a sealing attack.
• Youyue spat blood and flew backward, but Lin Fei realized his strike had not sealed her.

Lin Fei revealed himself to Youyue and fought her after trapping them in a small world. He defeated her with the sealing power of his Chaos Body and left her unconscious, having kept her alive to pursue the Heavenly Demon Body.

• Lin Fei trapped Youyue in a small world and met her Heavenly Demon Great Annihilation Tribulation with the same technique.
• Lin Fei revealed his identity, and Youyue recoiled before he struck her with a Yin-Yang Taiji Diagram.
• Youyue used Heavenly Demon Transformation and her palace lamp’s taiyin true fire to attack Lin Fei.
• Lin Fei enclosed Youyue in a Chaos Lotus Pond, preventing her from calling for help.
• Lin Fei overwhelmed Youyue with the pond’s sealing power, and she fell unconscious when the small world collapsed.

Lin Fei controlled Youyue with the Seven Orifices Soul-Bewitching Pill, then questioned her about the Eternal Night Palace’s defenses and Ye Ming’s strength. Youyue revealed that Ye Ming’s primordial spirit had been severely injured, apparently by Ye Wudi, leaving Lin Fei wondering how a Late Void Penetration cultivator could have harmed an Earth Demon.

• Lin Fei sealed Youyue, made her swallow the Seven Orifices Soul-Bewitching Pill, and promised to free her from its control later.
• Youyue asked Lin Fei to recover her Primal Life Disk and kill Ye Ming, and Lin Fei agreed if he could manage it.
• The pill took effect, and Youyue obediently called Lin Fei her master before he removed her seals and questioned her.
• Youyue told Lin Fei that the twelve Lamp-Bearing Envoys each wielded a Taiyin Lamp that could combine into an Earth Demon Realm spirit treasure.
• Youyue said Ye Ming was an Earth Demon Fourth Stage, Ninth Layer expert with a badly injured primordial spirit, and that Ye Wudi may have caused the injury.

Lin Fei suspected Ye Wudi might be the reincarnation of his old friend and entered Eternal Night Hall with Youyue to investigate Ye Ming. After Ye Ming fell asleep, Lin Fei used Dream World Buddhist Dharma to enter his dream and take control of Ye Wudi's body.

• Lin Fei considered whether Ye Wudi possessed an Extreme Dao Emperor Weapon and wondered if he was the reincarnation of his old friend Ye Wudi.
• Lin Fei and Youyue planned to exploit Ye Ming's weakened Divine Sense and entered Eternal Night Hall that night.
• Youyue told Ye Ming that the first batch of Seven Orifices Soul-Bewitching Pills had failed, and Ye Ming ordered the palace maid to try again before keeping Youyue with him.
• Lin Fei concealed himself in Ye Ming's bedchamber and waited until Ye Ming fell asleep beside Youyue.
• Lin Fei created a small world to hide his actions, used Dream World Buddhist Dharma to enter Ye Ming's dream, and cast his consciousness into Ye Wudi's body.

Lin Fei manipulated Ye Ming’s dreams to discover where the Heavenly Demon Jade Token was kept and to make Ye Ming fear that it was in danger. Ye Ming woke convinced that caution was warranted and decided to carry the token with him.

• Lin Fei planted a fake bone flute beneath a teahouse in Eternal Night City, and Ye Ming found it in the dream.
• Lin Fei saw that the Heavenly Demon Jade Token was secured in Marquis Yongye’s bedchamber and crafted a dream suggesting that it was unsafe there.
• Lin Fei made Ye Ming dream that Ao Beichen broke into Eternal Night Palace and shattered the token, then revealed that he had used a Heavenly Demon Formation-Breaking Stone.
• Lin Fei created a further dream in which Marquis Yongye warned Ye Ming about Ao Tian’s stone, then withdrew and concealed himself.
• Ye Ming woke in a rage, dismissed Youyue, and decided to carry the Heavenly Demon Jade Token with him.

Ye Ming endured a severe primordial spirit injury and entered Marquis Yongye’s bedchamber to retrieve the Heavenly Demon Jade Token while Lin Fei waited to ambush him. Lan Cao’s report that Lin Fei had disappeared disrupted the attack, and Lin Fei escaped Eternal Night Hall as Ye Ming went to confront Youyue.

• Ye Ming’s primordial spirit cracked under severe pain, but he made his way to Marquis Yongye’s bedchamber and used the Eternal Night Mirror to reveal its restrictions.

• Xiangling and another Lamp-Bearing Envoy told Ye Ming that Lin Fei had vanished after Lan Cao went to Youyue Residence looking for her.
• Ye Ming ordered a search for Lin Fei, then left with Xiangling and the Taiyin Lamp, guarding himself with the Eternal Night Mirror.
• Lin Fei abandoned his ambush and slipped out of Eternal Night Hall through a gap in its restrictions as Youyue encountered a furious Ye Ming.

• Ye Ming beat Youyue and ordered Xiangling to give her one hundred strokes of the spiked court rod for letting Lin Fei leave.
• Lin Fei reflected that he needed the Heavenly Demon Body and Heavenly Demon Artifact to overcome his weakness and gain power.
• Lin Fei left the Eternal Night Hall, disguised herself as a female Devil Race palace maid, and returned to the Eternal Night Palace carrying newly created shopping items.
• Two palace maids seized Lin Fei and brought her to the Lamp-Bearing Envoy, who said she would claim Lin Fei had not intended to flee and that the natural treasures remained at Youyue Residence.
• The Lamp-Bearing Envoy warned Lin Fei not to drag Youyue down with her.

Lin Fei was taken to Ye Wudi’s cell after Ye Ming ordered her imprisoned and made to reveal the pill recipe. She secretly relied on Youyue’s loyalty and waited for Ye Ming to leave his bedchamber so she could try to steal the Heavenly Demon Jade Token and kill him.

• Lin Fei pretended she had left the palace by mistake, and Cuiping returned the heavenly treasures to Youyue’s bedchamber before taking her to see Ye Ming.
• Xiangling told Cuiping that Ye Ming was asleep and had ordered Lin Fei sent to the dungeon to share Ye Wudi’s punishment and cell.
• Cuiping questioned Lin Fei about the Seven Orifices Soul-Bewitching Pill recipe, and Lin Fei cooperated while secretly planning to strike Ye Ming when he left his bedchamber.
