Li Yan stunned his fellow disciples by killing a powerful devil cultivator in a direct clash, while Wei Zhongran received a secret mission from Gu Jiuqi to place an item beneath Yin Devil Cliff. Gu Jiuqi’s plan to seal the fissure depended on breaking an unusual spatial barrier, but he had discovered that even one Realm-Breaking Pearl could no longer provide enough force.

• Li Yan killed a gaunt devil cultivator without using a visible magic treasure, leaving Gong Chenying, Wei Chituo, and the others astonished by his strength and movement technique.
• Wei Zhongran searched beneath Yin Devil Cliff while Gu Jiuqi sent him a Storage Pouch and ordered him to place its contents at a location twenty-four thousand zhang below the fissure.

• Gu Jiuqi said he had hoped to use a Realm-Breaking Pearl to shatter the barrier, but the Devil Race’s earlier activation of one had altered the spatial laws and strengthened it.
• After examining the destructive power of the Realm-Breaking Pearl Mo Qing brought back, Gu Jiuqi concluded that one pearl could no longer break the barrier completely.

Gu Jiuqi seized an imitation World-Breaking Pearl during the battle at Yin Demon Cliff and believed it could help collapse the rift when combined with the genuine pearl.

• The Devil Race and cultivators from other lands launched desperate attacks, while Wei Zhongran was trapped by the giant hand below Yinmo Cliff.
• Li Yan, Gong Chenying, Wei Chituo, and Lin Daqiao fought through waves of devil cultivators as Li Wuyi also charged toward the fissure and Zhao Zhi struggled to reach them from afar.

• Li Yuyin used her golden Gu insect’s poison and a jade-palm strike to destroy a devil general who tried to stop her.
• Zhao Min sent a ribbon of white Gu insects toward the falling Wei Zhongran, and the insects deflected two devil cultivators’ attacks before entering the abyss.

• Zhao Zhi took a blow from a magical gong, spat blood, and used its force to fly toward the cliff while Mo Qing and the other Nascent Soul cultivators were threatened by foreign cultivators.
• Zhao Min appeared inside the rift with only a dozen white Gu insects in her hand, and Li Wuyi, Wei Chi Tuo, and Gong Chenying surged toward her.

Li Yan stopped Gong Chenying, Wei Chituo, and Lin Daqiao from entering the Yinmo Cliff fissure, then plunged in himself to rescue Zhao Min and Wei Zhongran. He carried Wei Zhongran upward with the help of Melting Bamboo Shoot, but Zhao Min continued falling as Li Yan summoned his full strength to catch up with her.

• Zuo Qiudan recognized Wei Zhongran was in grave danger, fought his way through the battle, and used his magic power to shield Li Yan from the attacks and suction.
• Li Yan hurled Wei Zhongran upward toward Zuo Qiudan, who stood at the cliff edge seriously wounded.

Li Yan rescued Wei Zhongran, then returned into the Yin Demon Cliff fissure to save Zhao Min, while Zuo Qiudan protected Wei Zhongran and fought his way toward the fissure. As the passage’s shifting spatial laws sent Li Yan and Zhao Min plunging deeper, Zhao Min pushed Li Yan upward and let herself fall alone.

• Zuo Qiudan charged toward the fissure, but a foreign Nascent Soul cultivator attacked him until Arhat Liao Chan intervened and defeated the attacker with a thought-force bead.
• Li Yan threw Wei Zhongran’s body to Zuo Qiudan, then descended again and reached Zhao Min, who was conscious and beside him.
• Li Yan and Zhao Min tried to rise, but the passage’s changing spatial laws accelerated their fall and carried them away from the fissure’s original location.
• Li Yan struggled to control their descent, but Zhao Min pushed him upward and recoiled downward even faster.
• Zhao Min smiled, pointed toward the sky, waved to Li Yan, and closed her eyes as she continued falling.

Li Yan rescued Zhao Min as they fell into the Yin Demon Cliff fissure, but a strange force dragged them into an unfamiliar dark-yellow space. While the people above searched in vain, Li Yan prepared to defend them as they drifted through the unknown place.

• Li Yan and Zhao Min drifted helplessly through the strange space, where they could not tell up from down.
• Li Yan brought out the Great Dragon Elephant Formation and defensive talismans, and told Zhao Min to prepare to support him.

While trapped in the spatial passage, Li Yan and Zhao Min tried to understand their surroundings and prepare for escape. A mysterious seven-colored light overwhelmed their defenses, leaving them close to death as Zhao Min’s powerful cord began to fail.

• Li Yan withdrew his arm from Zhao Min, and she revealed that she could sense Demon Beasts and had brought defensive talismans.
• The little Purple God Dragon-Elephant appeared and identified Zhao Min’s constitution as the legendary Ice Soul Blue Jade Physique.
• Li Yan suspected that he and Zhao Min had been swept into spatial turbulence after the Flowing Light Talisman failed to respond.
• Seven-colored light suddenly struck them, quickly burning through their talismans and dimming the Great Dragon-Elephant Array.
• Zhao Min used her purplish-red cord to shield them, but after several breaths its radiance began contracting under the seven-colored light.

Li Yan and Zhao Min escaped the seven-colored space through a black fissure, but landed in a realm’s hostile boundary layer where overwhelming pressure threatened to crush them. As they struggled to survive, they spotted a faint gray-white light that might offer a way forward.

• The Wei family ancestor’s purplish-red cord erupted with its final defense, scattering the seven-colored lights and opening a black fissure, which Li Yan and Zhao Min entered.
• At the Yin Devil Cliff, the Wei family ancestor sensed the cord’s Divine Sense vanish and inferred that Li Yan and Zhao Min had escaped into a sealed space, giving Zhao Zhi hope that her daughter was alive.
• In the pitch-black space beyond the fissure, the Little Purple Divine Dragon Elephant’s Great Dragon Elephant Array nearly collapsed under tearing forces, so Li Yan withdrew it to save the dragon elephant.
• Li Yan and Zhao Min faced the realm’s repulsive pressure without the array, and Li Yan followed Zhao Min’s warning to spot a flickering gray-white light several miles away.

Li Yan and Zhao Min struggled through a perilous void toward a mysterious white light, enduring sudden tearing forces and exhausting their spiritual power. As they drew closer, Zhao Min sensed scattered Demon Beast auras beyond the light, suggesting they might find a livable space there.

• Li Yan and Zhao Min headed toward the white light through the surrounding darkness, but sudden tearing forces repeatedly shattered their protective barriers and injured them.
• When the tearing forces stopped, Zhao Min noticed her clothes had been ripped open, and Li Yan awkwardly turned away as she covered herself and accused him of enjoying the view.
• Li Yan offered Zhao Min a drop of Melting Bamboo Shoot to restore her spiritual power, but she suspected it might be an aphrodisiac and declined it.
• The tearing forces returned, forcing them to defend themselves and consume pills as they advanced only a few zhang toward the light.
• Li Yan and Zhao Min struggled against increasingly strong repelling and tearing forces; Li Yan repeatedly pulled Zhao Min back when the forces dragged her away.
• Zhao Min told Li Yan that she sensed scattered Demon Beast auras of varying strengths beyond the white light.

Li Yan sent Zhao Min into Tuban to spare her from the force surrounding the white light, revealing part of his greatest secret in the process. After nearly two hours of struggling forward, he stood just ten zhang from the light and continued forcing his way toward it.

• Zhao Min told Li Yan that she sensed many Demon Beasts beyond the white light, none stronger than second rank, but she could not identify their kinds.
• Li Yan decided Zhao Min could not keep going and sent her into Tuban, where she found a vast, tranquil world filled with supreme-grade earth spiritual energy.
• Li Yan reflected that revealing Tuban risked exposing the Five Immortals Sect, then pressed on alone toward the white light.
• After nearly two hours, Li Yan reached a point ten zhang from the light, where the force kept him from advancing and ripped apart his clothes.
• Li Yan swallowed a drop of Melting Bamboo Shoot, drove his aura to the level of a Golden Core Realm cultivator, and slowly advanced step by step.

Li Yan forced his way through the unfinished barrier between the two realms, enduring crushing pressure that repeatedly tore away his flesh. He emerged into a forest but collapsed, and Zhao Min appeared just in time to find Demon Beasts closing in around him.

• Li Yan entered the white barrier after his divine sense failed to probe it, and its crushing force shattered his spiritual shield and ripped open his body.
• Li Yan used the Undying Underworld Phoenix's blood essence to regenerate as he struggled toward the bright exit, repeatedly losing and regrowing his flesh.
• Li Yan escaped the barrier and collapsed in a forest, then used his last strength to bring Zhao Min out before losing consciousness.
• Zhao Min found Li Yan badly wounded and sensed Demon Beasts approaching, including three second-rank beasts weaker than her.

Zhao Min defended the unconscious Li Yan from unfamiliar Demon Beasts, treated his wounds, and carried him away through a strange forest. As night fell, she realized they might not be on the Desolate Moon Continent because its enormous full moon was missing.

• Zhao Min held back the encroaching Demon Beasts with her aura and a swarm of yellow gu insects.
• Zhao Min treated Li Yan's severe injuries, covered him with a robe, and used pills and spiritual power to stabilize him while he remained unconscious.
• Zhao Min noticed the unfamiliar beasts, vegetation, and spiritual qi, and suspected they had arrived in another world through the fissure at Yinmo Cliff.
• Zhao Min carried Li Yan into the air and flew away, while the second-tier Demon Beasts chose not to pursue them.
• Zhao Min carefully avoided powerful auras as she traveled through the forest, and the sky darkened without revealing the Desolate Moon Continent's enormous full moon.

Zhao Min realized that she and Li Yan had crossed into the Devil Realm and hid him in a concealed lakeside formation. She treated his catastrophic injuries, but Li Yan remained unconscious, leaving her worried that his soul had been damaged.

• Zhao Min sensed devil qi spread across the surrounding hundreds of li and concluded that she and Li Yan were in the Devil Realm with no clear way back.
• Zhao Min found a secluded mountain hollow, concealed a shelter beside its lake with an illusion formation, and guarded it with Mountain-Breaking Gu.
• Zhao Min used blue threads of spiritual energy to carefully stimulate the medicines she had applied to Li Yan’s wounds.
• Zhao Min observed that Li Yan’s breathing and heartbeat had steadied and his wounds were regenerating, but he still showed no sign of waking.
• Zhao Min feared that Li Yan’s soul had been grievously injured, since she could not determine whether it was unharmed and had no medicine to heal it.

Zhao Min tended Li Yan through the night as the True Essence Pill began restoring his body, while Li Yan fell into a strange vision of a fiery bridge and an abyss. The chapter left his recovery unresolved and introduced Shangguan and five Gold Core cultivators confronting the Black Devil Race over a surge of devilish energy.

• Zhao Min used spirit stones and spiritual power to clear devilish energy from Li Yan and nourish his injuries, while realizing his valuable treasures were hidden in his strange space.
• Zhao Min cast the beasts trapped by her formation outside it at dawn, then rested after Li Yan’s wounds had begun to heal, though he still had not awakened.
• Li Yan found himself on a cold bridge of ghostly blue flames, sensed that the flames were weaker than before, and fell into the abyss beneath it.
• Shangguan traveled with five mid-stage Gold Core Realm cultivators, and one of them accused the Black Devil Race of hiding the cause of the devilish energy disrupting their region.

Shangguan investigated the disturbance on the Divine Road, ordered stronger border defenses, and suspected the Black Devil Race had suffered a major setback. Meanwhile, Zhao Min tried a mysterious ritual to split a pale-red filament as Li Yan remained unconscious, and the chapter ended with her using essence blood to keep the two filaments apart.

• Shangguan concluded that the Black Devil Race’s response suggested something had gone wrong on the Divine Road and ordered her subordinates to reinforce the border and alert nearby sects.
• Shangguan decided to return to her sect and report her suspicions to the ancestors while gathering intelligence about Desolate Moon Continent.
• On the third day after arriving, Zhao Min found that Li Yan had not awakened and that his aura was weakening despite his body healing.
• Zhao Min took a tiny Storage Pouch and used a rune and chant to make a pale-red filament split into two.
• When the two filaments began merging again, Zhao Min spent a drop of essence blood to activate an ancient seal-script character that separated them.

Zhao Min placed one of the captured red filaments inside her own chest and the other inside Li Yan, then carried him west in search of help for his soul and protection from Devil Qi. After finding only Devil Race villages, she abducted a respected woman and brought her to a nearby mountain peak.

• Zhao Min separated two violent red filaments into spiritual power cages, absorbed one into her chest, and pressed the other into Li Yan’s chest.
• Zhao Min restored Li Yan’s clothes, carried him away from the lakeside, and collected her formation flags and Gu insects.
• Zhao Min flew west with Li Yan, periodically expelling Devil Qi from him as the surrounding spiritual energy grew purer.
• Zhao Min discovered two villages populated by Devil Race mortals but found no cultivators or people who could help Li Yan.
• Zhao Min knocked out a respected older woman from one village, carried her to a mountain peak, and woke her there.

Zhao Min discovered that the Devil Race spoke an unfamiliar language, but she found a way to communicate and learned about life on the Lost Continent. With Li Yan’s condition worsening, she attacked a nearby sect to seize healing supplies, leaving its leader to face her strength.

• Zhao Min confirmed that she could not understand the Devil Race woman until she spoke the language of the Human Race, then erased the woman’s memory before returning her to the village.
• Zhao Min abducted an elderly Devil Race man and learned that the continent was called the Lost Continent, where sects and cultivation families ruled mortals and tested children for spiritual roots.
• Zhao Min learned that Li Yan’s aura and soul were weakening, then flew toward a nearby cultivation sect in search of healing supplies.
• Zhao Min stormed the sect’s hall and demanded its Storage Pouches and medicinal supplies, using a swarm of insects to incapacitate its disciples and overwhelm its elders.
• The sect leader fought Zhao Min barehanded, but she crippled his arms; he retaliated with a storm of elbow strikes aimed at her throat and ears.

Zhao Min defeated a sect’s master and raided its stores, then continued attacking cultivation sects to obtain supplies for Li Yan. While hiding with him, she treated his soul injury and recovered from a serious ambush, realizing that a coalition of cultivators was hunting her.

• Zhao Min struck the sect master into a wall, collected the sect’s storage pouches and spirit herbs, and escaped with her gu insects as the elders watched.
• The injured sect master ordered Elder Ding to report Zhao Min to their superior sect and have her captured.
• Over the next two days, Zhao Min raided several nearby sects and Lineages, prompting them to join forces against the white-robed woman who commanded insect Magic Beasts.
• At a hidden camp beside a stream, Zhao Min gave Li Yan a soul-healing Pill and helped purge devilish qi, but worried that his soul would suffer irreversible damage.
• Zhao Min swallowed healing Pills and meditated after her own injuries worsened; she recalled that a mid-stage Golden Core Realm cultivator and seven Foundation Establishment cultivators had ambushed her the previous night.
• Zhao Min released swarms of gu insects to fight off the ambushers, but the Golden Core cultivator killed many and reached her, staring at her with undisguised lust.

Zhao Min fought off Yan Tantuo’s attempt to capture her and fled on an emerald-green gourd, while he pursued her and attacked from afar. She remained ahead of him despite her injuries, and Yan Tantuo grew alarmed at her strength and speed.

• Yan Tantuo accused Zhao Min of plundering pills and attacked her, but she used her sword to create an opening and retreat.
• Yan Tantuo’s punch injured Zhao Min and sent her flying, but she survived by twisting and flexing her body to blunt the blow.
• Yan Tantuo revealed his history of torturing and killing female cultivators and resolved to capture Zhao Min for himself.
• Zhao Min’s gu insects kept the other cultivators occupied while she escaped the courtyard on an emerald-green flying gourd.
• Yan Tantuo chased Zhao Min and launched long-range attacks, but she dodged them and used defensive talismans as she widened the distance.

Zhao Min escaped Yan Tantuo and returned to Li Yan, whose body was losing its spiritual energy and vitality. She began nourishing him with condensed spiritual energy liquid and decided to seek help at a market, while Yan Tantuo fled rather than risk retaliation from her presumed powerful sect.

• Yan Tantuo failed to catch Zhao Min, suspected she belonged to a secluded cultivation sect, and fled the region instead of returning to his sect.
• Zhao Min returned to Li Yan's hiding place and discovered that his spiritual energy was retreating toward his dantian, threatening to destroy his body and soul.
• Zhao Min began condensing spiritual energy into liquid and feeding it to Li Yan, despite the risk that the effort would damage her cultivation.
• Zhao Min decided to stop stealing pills and take Li Yan to a market to search for a remedy, then recovered some of the gu insects she had scattered.
• Cultivators who followed Zhao Min's gu insects lost her trail after circling through the night, while the Lineage grew frantic after losing contact with Yan Tantuo.
