Chapter Summaries

Xiao Xuan revealed that he was a Fifth-Tier Formation Master, giving Hai Zhantian hope of stabilizing the failing Undersea Void Realm and rescuing the Sea Tribe’s younger generation trapped inside. The group reached the realm, where the gathered Sea Shark and Sea Flood Dragon clans awaited them amid the crisis.

• Hai Zhantian and Hai Mochen were shocked and relieved when Xiao Xuan revealed himself as a Fifth-Tier Formation Master.

• Hai Zhantian led Xiao Yan, Xiao Xuan, and Hai Mochen to the Undersea Void Realm in half an hour.
• The group saw the enormous energy vortex and the two stone pillars that formed the realm’s natural formation.
• The gathered clan experts approached Hai Zhantian, and he told the middle-aged man who called him father that he already knew about the crisis involving Ling’er.

Xiao Xuan used his Spiritual Strength to stabilize the Undersea Void Realm’s entrance, but he could not fully repair it. He proposed sending someone inside to use outside force to break through the formation sealing the entrance.

• Hai Zhantian rebuked a Sea Flood Dragon Clan elder for questioning Xiao Xuan and promised the Sea Shark Clan would owe Xiao Xuan a favor if he saved those trapped inside.

• Xiao Xuan told Hai Zhantian he could not completely repair the entrance but proposed sending someone inside to break through the sealing formation with outside force.

Xiao Yan accepted Hai Zhantian’s request to enter the Undersea Void Realm, despite protests from Sea Flood Dragon Clan and Sea Shark Clan leaders. He challenged the Abyss Hall fighters to touch his clothes within three exchanges, and one Late-Stage Nine-Star Dou Di stepped forward to face him.

• Sea Tribe members volunteered to enter the Undersea Void Realm, but Hai Zhantian silenced them and explained that only one person below the Origin Transformation Realm could be chosen.

• Hai Zhantian chose Xiao Yan for the task, and Xiao Yan agreed to do his best.
• Sea Tribe leaders objected that Xiao Yan was a human with only Seven-Star Dou Di cultivation, so Xiao Yan challenged the twenty Abyss Hall fighters to touch his clothes within three exchanges.
• A Late-Stage Nine-Star Dou Di from Abyss Hall stepped forward and said Xiao Yan only needed to withstand one move to prove himself.

Xiao Yan accepted Xue Kui’s challenge and defeated the Nine-Star Dou Di with one punch, stunning the Sea Tribe leaders and Abyss Hall members.

• Xiao Yan introduced himself as the one sent by Hai Zhantian and the Heaven-Devouring Flood Dragon to rescue Xue Mian and Hai Ling'er.

• Xiao Yan and Xue Mian entered the valley and found Hai Ling'er meditating on a bluestone as her cultivation rose.
• Xue Mian began refining the pill while Xiao Yan watched the valley from above and saw more beasts gathering.
• The magical beasts climbed the slopes and surrounded Xiao Yan, who summoned ghastly white flames and struck at one with his ruler.

• Xiao Yan summoned the Heavy Xuan Ruler back to his hand, stored it, and struck the space before him with Great Heaven Creation Palm.

With the deadline to leave the Undersea Void Realm nearly upon them, Xiao Yan sent Xue Mian and Hai Ling'er ahead while he held back the attacking magical beasts. After wiping out the beasts, he ran out of Dou Qi and struggled to catch up with them.

• Xiao Yan learned from Xue Mian and Hai Ling'er that they were still at least a day from the exit, while magical beasts continued to slow their journey.
• Xiao Yan gave Xue Mian and Hai Ling'er black robes and Windwalk Pills, then told them to conceal their presence and head for the exit while he held off the beasts.

As the Undersea Void Realm began collapsing ahead of schedule, Xiao Yan struggled to reach the exit while Xue Mian and Hai Ling'er arrived there first and waited for him. Outside, Hai Zhantian and the others feared the realm would consume Xiao Yan before he could escape.

• Hai Mochen reassured Hai Zhantian that Xiao Yan would protect Hai Ling'er and the others, while Xiao Xuan’s failing Spiritual Strength threatened the Undersea Void Realm’s stability.

• Xiao Xuan’s Spiritual Strength ran out, and Hai Mochen protected the small ball of light that remained of him.
• Xue Mian and Hai Ling'er reached the exit but stayed behind, worried and ashamed because Xiao Yan had not yet appeared.

• Xiao Yan awakened the Winged Elephant Art and used it to dodge the lightning and escape the area.
• Xue Mian and Hai Ling'er confirmed Xiao Yan had not emerged, then entered the passage out of the realm.

• The entrance vanished while Hai Ling'er and Xue Mian still waited outside, and the black robes they held disappeared without a trace.

Xiao Yan escaped the Undersea Void Realm and was rescued by the Sea Tribe, then awoke in the Sea Shark Clan’s territory. After recovering and refining Hai Mochen’s portion of the Flame Mantra, he began cultivating in hopes of breaking through to Eight-Star Dou Di.

• Xiao Yan emerged from the vanished Undersea Void Realm and collapsed, and Hai Zhantian caught him and confirmed he was only exhausted.

• Xiao Yan reached the abyss’s deep, dark opening and felt its chilling Yin Qi even through his Heavenly Flame’s protection.

Xiao Yan arrived at the Sea Flood Dragon Clan’s Hidden Dragon Abyss, whose intense cold seemed ideal for refining Heavenly Flames. Before he could enter, Commander Xue attacked him, then learned Xiao Yan was a joint elder invited by Hai Zhantian as the clan leader and other elders arrived.

• Xiao Yan stopped an elder from punishing Xue Shang, explaining that their clash had been a misunderstanding and revealing his role in the Sea Flood Dragon Clan's defeat on Coiled Serpent Island.

• Hai Mochen transformed into blue flame and entered Xiao Yan, who wrapped himself in bone white flames and plunged into the Hidden Dragon Abyss.

Xiao Yan entered the depths of the Hidden Dragon Abyss to refine Hai Mochen’s Sea Heart Flame, using the Extreme Cold Ice Soul, Bone Spirit Cold Flame, and Ice Spirit Cold Liquid to suppress it. After a year of refining, an uninvited guest arrived in the North Sea, drawing out Hai Xiao, the Heaven-Devouring Flood Dragon, and Hai Zhantian.

• Xiao Yan descended into the Hidden Dragon Abyss until he found water cold enough for refining the Sea Heart Flame.

• After two hours of struggle, Xiao Yan drank three bottles of Ice Spirit Cold Liquid to suppress the Sea Heart Flame.
