Chapter Summaries

Mu Wan'er used the Nine Dragons Spirit Transformation Cauldron to locate a vast source of fire power, leading the group to a lava region filled with deadly fire poison. As she prepared to protect them, Song Ci and two companions appeared, and Song Ci realized Ye Qiubai’s group had activated the other Moon God Stone Mountain.

• Xiao Hei said the group still needed the sun and moons to shine together before the Kunlun Ruins would appear.
• Mu Wan'er used the Nine Dragons Spirit Transformation Cauldron to gather the rules of heaven and earth, and Mu Fusheng spotted a powerful source of fire to the south.
• Mu Wan'er led everyone to a lava region where concentrated fire poison threatened even God Emperor Realm experts.
• Mu Wan'er offered pills to resist the fire poison, but Ye Qiubai noticed Song Ci and two others approaching.
• Song Ci recognized Ye Qiubai’s group and sneered that they, not heaven’s favor, had activated the other Moon God Stone Mountain.

Ye Qiubai and Song Ci exchanged information about the Rising Sun Yang Flame Pool, but Ye Qiubai admitted his group had none and teased Song Ci after Song Ci revealed what he knew. As both groups searched for a way to open the Kunlun Ruins, Xiao Hei volunteered to endure the fire poison and extract the pool’s essence.

• Song Ci proposed that his group and Ye Qiubai’s work together, then revealed that the Rising Sun Yang Flame Pool’s fire law had been condensed from solar fire.
• Ye Qiubai said his group had discovered the Moon God Stone Mountain and the pool on their own, and Song Ci grew furious at being tricked into sharing information.
• Song Ci vowed to fight Ye Qiubai to the death, then led Wang Jingzhou and Su Cheng into the fire poison behind barriers formed by their jade pendants.
• Mu Wan'er began refining pills while Ye Qiubai, Hong Ying, Ning Chenxin, and Mu Fusheng considered how to use the pool to create a sun and make the sun and moon shine together.
• Xiao Hei volunteered to filter the fire poison and extract the pool’s essence, arguing that his experience with flames and his bloodline could help him endure it.

Xiao Hei tested whether he could withstand fire poison and discovered that the Eternal Devil Body’s flame markings could absorb it. As his condition stabilized, Ye Qiubai and the others watched with relief, while Xiao Hei prepared to continue.

• Ye Qiubai urged Xiao Hei to test his ability on the fire poison fog before entering the Rising Sun Yang Flame Pool.
• Xiao Hei entered the fog and endured severe damage as fire poison corroded his body from within and without.
• Mu Fusheng and Shi Sheng called for Xiao Hei to get out, but he realized his bloodline power could heal him without purifying the poison.
• Xiao Hei activated the Eternal Devil Body and drew the fire poison from his body and the surrounding fog into its flame markings.
• Ye Qiubai and the others saw Xiao Hei stabilize, while Song Xiao and Jiang Qingluan accepted that he could do what they could not.

Xiao Hei absorbed the fire poison mist over the Rising Sun Yang Flame Pool, causing the sun and moons to shine together and revealing the Kunlun Ruins. Song Ci and the others hurried toward the ruins, while elsewhere the Supervisory Sacred Hall members faced a red-clad woman before the gate of Azure Firmament Academy.

• Xiao Hei absorbed fire poison into the patterns of his Eternal Devil Body as Song Ci, Wang Jingzhou, and Su Cheng watched in surprise.
• Mu Wan'er finished refining pills, but Xiao Hei's absorption made them seem unnecessary, prompting Shi Sheng to offer her a consolation.
• Xiao Hei absorbed all the fire poison mist, and the resulting fiery light joined the two moons to reveal the Kunlun Ruins.
• Song Ci led Wang Jingzhou and Su Cheng toward the newly emerged ruins, and Ye Qiubai and the others followed.
• In the Azure Firmament Region, three members of the Supervisory Sacred Hall stood before the ruined gate of Azure Firmament Academy, facing a woman dressed in red.

He Shangke concealed his involvement in a plan from Nan Congyin, then warned an unknown ally that the Supervisory Sacred Hall had grown suspicious and urged them to hurry. At Azure Firmament Academy, a red-robed woman stopped Ai Xue’s team from pursuing its operation, but left after the wooden-faced man intervened.

• Nan Congyin questioned He Shangke about a feeling that their plans might slip out of control, but He Shangke denied knowing anything and walked away.
• He Shangke secretly contacted an ally and said Nan Congyin had grown suspicious or found clues, so they needed to speed up their operation.
• The red-robed woman confronted Ai Xue outside Azure Firmament Academy and demanded that the Supervisory Sacred Hall stop its operation.
• Ai Xue attacked with blood-colored flames, but the red-robed woman’s black ghostly flames overwhelmed her and made her collapse.
• The wooden-faced man used a pill to expel the ghostly flames from Ai Xue, identified them as resembling an Evil Devil Domain bloodline, and warned the red-robed woman that fighting would leave them both injured.
• The red-robed woman chose to leave, while the wooden-faced man knocked Ai Xue and the other Supervisory Sacred Hall member unconscious.

Ye Qiubai and his companions entered the Kunlun Ruins and helped reveal the treasures hidden beneath its suppression formation. The Supervisory Sacred Hall claimed the right to the treasures and threatened anyone who competed with them.

• Xiao Hei failed to find his lost souls in the eerily quiet Kunlun Ruins, while Ning Chenxin sensed a faint presence like a formation or magnetic field.
• Fang Qiong discovered that a special magnetic field was preventing his formation spirits from communicating with the ruins, and the group inferred that Song Ci and his companions knew how to alter it.
• A sandstorm swept through the ruins, changing the magnetic field and allowing Fang Qiong's formation spirits to pass through the white light of the exposed formation.
• Fang Qiong recognized the formation as a suppression barrier, and the group saw mysterious objects hidden inside the broken walls and ramparts.
• Song Xiao suggested the Kunlun Ruins were a treasure trove, prompting Xiao Hei to wonder why one of his souls might be there despite the ruins' great age.
• Song Ci told Ye Qiubai's group they could take any treasure they wanted but threatened to make them the Supervisory Sacred Hall's enemies if they competed with it.

Xiao Hei began fusing with a black soul in the Kunlun Ruins as Song Ci and his companions activated a stone pillar, unleashing molten earthfire across the ruins and the Kunlun Region. With the flames threatening to destroy the ruins and interrupt Xiao Hei’s fusion, Shi Sheng heard that the emperor’s star power could protect him if he later replenished the tenth Star Core.

• Ye Qiubai questioned Song Ci about the Supervisory Sacred Hall’s objective, but Song Ci warned them not to interfere and left with Wang Jingzhou and Su Cheng.
• Guided by his bloodline, Xiao Hei found a black-tinted soul trapped inside a wall, and Fang Qiong broke the suppression array so Xiao Hei could begin absorbing it.
• Song Ci, Wang Jingzhou, and Su Cheng inserted three Kunlun Divine Stones into the preserved stone pillar, causing it to rotate and unleash molten earthfire that spread through the Kunlun Ruins and the Kunlun Region.
• Ye Qiubai ordered the others to protect Xiao Hei while Mu Fusheng used talismans to hold back the flames as Xiao Hei underwent soul fusion.
• As the barrier weakened and the group struggled to escape, a voice within Shi Sheng said the emperor’s star power could protect him from the earthfire, though he would need to replenish the tenth Star Core afterward.

Shi Sheng learned that the Star God Emperor survived within his tenth Star Core and had to stop the Kunlun Ruins’ central pillar before its remaining power ran out. He entered the lava protected by the Star Core’s power, found Song Ci, Wang Jingzhou, and Su Cheng guarding the pillar, and attacked Wang Jingzhou.

• The Star God Emperor explained that his remnant soul lived within Shi Sheng’s tenth Star Core and warned that the Kunlun Ruins would collapse unless Shi Sheng stopped the central stone pillar.
• Shi Sheng covered himself with the tenth Star Core’s Power of the Stars and left Ye Qiubai and the others to protect Little Senior Brother Hei while he entered the lava and earthfire.
• The Star God Emperor directed Shi Sheng east to the spinning stone pillar, where Shi Sheng found Song Ci, Wang Jingzhou, and Su Cheng waiting behind barriers.
• Shi Sheng demanded that the three men move and attacked Wang Jingzhou with the Minghuang Mystic Axe, infusing the blow with a star.
• Wang Jingzhou met Shi Sheng’s axe with his staff but realized the blow was unexpectedly heavy and the Power of the Stars disrupted his Spiritual Qi.

Shi Sheng killed Wang Jingzhou and Su Cheng in quick succession, despite taking Su Cheng’s sword strike, then confronted Song Ci as the latter revealed his hidden strength. Shi Sheng brought out the Falling Star Divine Axe and prepared to test it against Song Ci.

• Shi Sheng used Starfall to shatter Wang Jingzhou’s staff and split him in two, while Su Cheng stabbed Shi Sheng in the ribs.
• Shi Sheng restrained Su Cheng’s sword with the power of the stars and crushed his head with Indestructible Star Claw, after which molten earthfire consumed his body.
• Shi Sheng demanded that Song Ci stop the stone pillars, but Song Ci revealed his middle God Emperor cultivation and said he had concealed his strength.
• Shi Sheng replaced the Minghuang Mystic Axe with the Falling Star Divine Axe, and Song Ci and the Star God Emperor were struck by its unfathomable presence.
• Shi Sheng told Song Ci he would test the axe on him, though he could not yet unleash its full power.

Shi Sheng used the Falling Star Divine Axe against Song Ci, and their first clash left Song Ci injured while severely straining Shi Sheng. Song Ci summoned an eight-armed dharma body and prepared to unleash his full power.

• Shi Sheng brought out the Falling Star Divine Axe, and the Star God Emperor warned that Shi Sheng could swing it only three times before his power of the stars was drained.
• Song Ci formed two annihilation spheres and attacked Shi Sheng, who met them with a strike from the Falling Star Divine Axe.
• The Falling Star Divine Axe shattered Song Ci's spheres and forced him back, while the clash left Shi Sheng badly injured.
• Song Ci acknowledged Shi Sheng's strength, then declared he would kill him for the glory of the Supervisory Sacred Hall.
• Song Ci formed mysterious marks on his hands, summoned an eight-armed dharma body, and called it Annihilation... Asura!

Shi Sheng and Song Ci unleashed their strongest attacks in a forced head-on clash, with Shi Sheng’s Star Explosion meeting Song Ci’s Wrath of Shura. Their powers remained evenly matched as space and the ground began to break apart.

• The Star God Emperor told Shi Sheng that Song Ci had inherited the Dao of Asura and warned him that defeating Song Ci would come at a cost.
• Shi Sheng merged three Star Cores into the Falling Star Divine Axe, while Song Ci planned to evade the all-out strike.
• Shi Sheng used the stars’ suppressive force to pin Song Ci in place and force him into a direct clash.
• Shi Sheng struck with Star Explosion as Song Ci countered with Wrath of Shura from his Annihilation Asura Dharma Body.
• The attacks collided, their powers held in balance, and fragments of space and earth began crumbling away.

Shi Sheng defeated Song Ci with a lightning talisman after exhausting the power of his stars, then learned that the Star God Emperor would fall asleep after slowing the stone pillar. Shi Sheng promised to find pure power of the stars within thirty days to save the emperor’s soul and the tenth Star Core.

• Shi Sheng unleashed the Star Explosion, and Song Ci escaped its force only after sacrificing all eight hands of his Annihilation Asura Dharma Body.
• Song Ci survived the blast and approached the exhausted Shi Sheng, intending to kill him with a wisp of annihilation power.
• Shi Sheng used a lightning talisman Mu Fusheng had given him, and the lightning struck Song Ci down.
• Shi Sheng found Song Ci’s charred corpse, then asked the Star God Emperor how to stop the spinning stone pillar.
• The Star God Emperor said he could only slow the pillar and would fall asleep afterward, warning Shi Sheng to find pure power of the stars within thirty days or his soul and the tenth Star Core would disappear.
• The Star God Emperor merged his remnant soul’s power into the stone pillar, and Shi Sheng promised to save him.

Shi Sheng returned after defeating Song Ci, while Xiao Hei completed the soul merger and learned the truth about his little sister and the mysterious box. Xiao Hei gained a new bloodline ability, then awoke to find the Kunlun Ruins had disappeared.

• Ye Qiubai and Hong Ying stopped Fang Qiong from leaving the barrier to search for Shi Sheng, and the lava earthfire began to weaken.
• Shi Sheng returned to the barrier, exhausted, and told everyone what had happened with Song Ci.
• Xiao Hei’s memories revealed that his little sister had warned him to hide a black wooden box that could change the realm’s balance and required his fully awakened Demon God Bloodline to open.
• Xiao Hei resolved to go to the Demon King Domain to rescue his little sister, and his soul merger strengthened his cultivation and bloodline.
• Xiao Hei gained Bloodline Entanglement, which could empower and restore weapons, then woke to find the Kunlun Ruins had vanished.

Mu Fusheng erased the traces of Shi Sheng’s battle while Ye Qiubai negotiated with Liu Ziru for information about the Supervisory Sacred Hall’s plans in the Azure Firmament and Ancestral Emperor Regions. The group split up, and Hong Ying’s team entered Azure Firmament Academy, where they reached a lake filled with skeletons and weapons and spotted a hall-covered island at its center.

• Mu Fusheng destroyed the remaining traces of Shi Sheng’s fight with the Supervisory Sacred Hall prodigies and purified the area.
• Liu Ziru told Ye Qiubai that three Supervisory Sacred Hall members planned to open the Azure Firmament Region and obtain something in the Ancestral Emperor Region, then bargained with him over the price of gathering information.
• Ye Qiubai divided the group, leading one team toward the Ancestral Emperor Region while Hong Ying led Ning Chenxin, Mu Fusheng, and Mu Wan'er toward the Azure Firmament Region.
• Hong Ying’s team reached Azure Firmament Academy and found that the Supervisory Sacred Hall members had already entered.
• Hong Ying’s team explored the academy’s teaching halls and found a lake filled with skeletons and weapons, with many halls standing on an island at its center.

Hong Ying and her companions crossed the dangerous lake toward Azure Firmament Academy’s inner court after Mu Fusheng detected an immense, active presence beneath it. Meanwhile, Liu Ziru secretly followed a woman in red who might be connected to the Evil Devil Domain.

• Liu Ziru explained Azure Firmament Academy’s courts to Hong Ying and assigned the group to split between the Imperial Heaven Court and the Heaven-Shaking Court.
• Mu Fusheng searched the lake with his soul power and found no restrictions, but detected an immense, lifeless presence moving beneath the water.
• Hong Ying decided to cross the lake despite the possible danger, and Ning Chenxin and Mu Wan'er followed her.
• Mu Fusheng gave up resisting, checked the talismans hidden under his clothes, and followed the others.
• Liu Ziru followed a woman in red near the Ancestral Emperor Region and suspected she might be a remnant of the Evil Devil Domain.

Liu Ziru followed the woman in red to the Ancestral Emperor Region, where she confronted the skeletal guardians of the Ancestral Emperor Palace and revealed how much she knew about its defenses. Fearing the Evil Devil Domain had deeply infiltrated the Mortal Realm, Liu Ziru resolved to uncover the forces behind her, while Hong Ying, Ning Chenxin, Mu Fusheng, and Mu Wan'er crossed a blood-soaked lake at Azure Firmament Academy.

• Liu Ziru followed the woman in red across the scarred land and wondered why she was trying to obstruct the Supervisory Sacred Hall.
• The woman in red reached the canyon before the Ancestral Emperor Palace, where two skeletal God Emperor experts warned her to leave.
• The woman in red explained that the skeletons could not cross the line without their remnant souls scattering and said they could not stop entry once the other three great regions opened.
• The skeletons returned to their posts as the woman in red went to hide, while Liu Ziru realized the Evil Devil Domain had deeply infiltrated the Mortal Realm.
• Liu Ziru decided he had to uncover the forces behind the woman in red to prevent an attack from within and without.
• Hong Ying, Ning Chenxin, Mu Fusheng, and Mu Wan'er walked across the lake at Azure Firmament Academy, with Mu Fusheng keeping his talismans ready for danger.

Hong Ying, Mu Wan'er, Ning Chenxin, and Mu Fusheng were attacked by a blood-colored giant python while crossing the lake toward Azure Firmament Academy's inner court. Mu Fusheng followed the wounded python underwater, where he discovered that countless more pythons were watching him.

• Hong Ying and the others noticed the ripples beneath them growing stronger and scattered as a blood-colored giant python erupted from the lake.
• Mu Wan'er used the Nine Dragons Spirit Transformation Cauldron to pour corrosive purple gas into the python's mouth, driving it back underwater.
• The python trapped the four inside blood-colored waterspouts, but Mu Fusheng shielded his companions and struck it with a spear formed from five types of ancient lightning.
• Mu Fusheng pursued the wounded python underwater as the waterspouts dissipated, risking detection of his power.
• Mu Fusheng used his soul power beneath the blackened lake water and found countless pairs of serpentine eyes staring at him.

Mu Fusheng fought off the blood-colored pythons beneath the lake while Hong Ying, Ning Chenxin, and Mu Wan'er tried to break through the blood scabs sealing the surface. After noticing that the pythons were identical in every way, Mu Fusheng formed a conjecture and prepared to test it.

• The blood-colored pythons sealed the lake surface with blood scabs and attacked Mu Fusheng with beams of blood-colored light.
• Hong Ying, Ning Chenxin, and Mu Wan'er attacked the blood scabs, but managed to open only a moderate-sized hole.
• Mu Fusheng used Ancient Divine Lightning and talismans to kill several pythons that charged at him.
• Mu Fusheng noticed that every attacking python matched the first one in strength, speed, attacks, and toughness.
• Mu Fusheng formed a conjecture and surrounded himself with layers of lightning shields while holding a Heavenly Lightning Escape Talisman to test it.

Mu Fusheng reached the bottom of the lake and used Eight Peaks Thunder Prison to restrain the blood-colored giant pythons, revealing the blood serpent hidden among them. The serpent let him pass after asking him to protect Azure Firmament Academy’s remaining inheritance, and Mu Fusheng left with a Blood Serpent Condensed Pill.

• Mu Fusheng dove to the lakebed and used Soul Fire to search the countless blood-colored giant pythons for their original body or a divine object.
• Mu Fusheng deployed Eight Peaks Thunder Prison, trapping the pythons in a sea of lightning as he searched among them.
• A blood serpent in a small cave revealed that it guarded Azure Firmament Academy’s final inheritance for the Human Ancestor and had tested Mu Fusheng to ensure he was not from the Evil Devil Domain.
• The blood serpent allowed Mu Fusheng to proceed after he promised to protect the inheritance and pass on Azure Firmament Academy’s will.
• The blood serpent gave Mu Fusheng a Blood Serpent Condensed Pill, then the pythons disappeared and Mu Fusheng flew back up, regretting that he had not used his trump card sooner.

Hong Ying and Mu Fusheng entered Imperial Heaven Court, while Ning Chenxin and Mu Wan'er went to Heaven-Shaking Court to investigate the Supervisory Sacred Hall. After confronting White-Robed Inspector Xu Tongyuan, Ning Chenxin asked whether the Hall’s mission would bring calamity to the Mortal Realm and warned that he would pay it a visit if it did.

• Hong Ying and Mu Fusheng split from Ning Chenxin and Mu Wan'er, and Mu Fusheng gave the others talismans for communication, defense, and escape.
• Hong Ying and Mu Fusheng sensed recent traces in Imperial Heaven Court and decided to find the Supervisory Sacred Hall members and ask about their mission.
• Ning Chenxin and Mu Wan'er met Xu Tongyuan, who threatened them and unleashed his early-stage God Emperor Realm pressure.
• Ning Chenxin stood firm against Xu Tongyuan’s pressure and asked whether the Supervisory Sacred Hall’s objective would harm the Mortal Realm.
• Xu Tongyuan dismissed concern for the weak and claimed the Hall acted for a greater cause, while Ning Chenxin said he might pay the Hall a visit if its mission would bring calamity.
