Chapter Summaries

Blu and the White Tiger clan leader were overwhelmed by the Eight Great Clans, and Bolin gravely wounded White Tiger before pursuing him. Bolin returned bloodied after White Tiger unleashed his innate divine ability, leaving the Eight Great Clans wondering how he survived Tiger Roar.

• Edric and Barbary used their Sovereign Artifacts to suppress Blu while three other clan leaders guarded against escape.
• Blu activated Sovereign's Might and broke through Barbary's attacks, but Edric's Armor of Nature protected him from Blu's punches.
• Bolin struck the White Tiger clan leader with a silver-white spear and pursued him as Blu tried to intervene.
• Edric and Barbary blocked Blu while Bernistan watched helplessly and Reynalds and Wenner expected the battle to end in their favor.
• Bolin returned with a broken wing and bloodied chest, explaining that White Tiger had unleashed Tiger Roar after being gravely wounded.

The Eight Great Clans and the Four Divine Beasts Clan ended their battle after Gaiseresen arrived with reinforcements, leaving both sides to withdraw. A hundred years later, Andrew prepared to auction Sovereign's Might in Bloodflame City, where tens of millions of visitors and troublesome experts had gathered.

• Bolin charged at the wounded White Tiger Clan Leader, but Gaiseresen arrived with nearly a hundred members of the Four Divine Beasts Clan and rescued him and Blu.
• Reynalds and the clan leaders on both sides judged that another battle could destroy them, so they traded threats and withdrew from the battlefield.
• Half a year later, Andrew learned that the White Tiger Clan Leader and Elder Bru had nearly died and resolved to settle his debt with the Eight Great Clans later.
• A hundred years passed, and Andrew planned to give Pusluo one of his five remaining drops of Sovereign's Might and auction the rest.
• Kang'en told Andrew that tens of millions of people had entered Bloodflame City for the auction, including powerful troublemakers who ignored the city’s troops.

After learning that an outsider had harassed Han Yue and Emily five years earlier, Andrew decided to purge the troublemakers in Bloodflame City. He ordered Pusluo to guard the Prefecture Lord’s castle, then sent the Prefecture Army after Dikor, whose discovery marked the start of the crackdown.

• Andrew learned that Huerte had killed a Seven-Star Fiend who harassed Han Yue and Emily while Andrew was in secluded cultivation.
• Andrew summoned Pusluo from a distant military camp and told him to protect the Prefecture Lord’s castle during the purge.
• Pusluo agreed to guard the castle after Andrew gave him a drop of Destruction Sovereign Power and promised to reimburse him if he had to use it.
• Moli, Kang'en, and the other commanders led squads of prefectural soldiers through Bloodflame City as residents anticipated Andrew’s retaliation.
• Moli called for Dikor, a fugitive who had injured prefectural soldiers sixteen years earlier, and Andrew was revealed to have found him.

Andrew used his Paragon-level soul power to expose Dikor’s Soul Disguise and surrounded him with Bloodflame Prefecture’s forces. Dikor began fighting Moli and four other Seven-Star Fiends, while Andrew watched and considered how to deal with the bandit.

• Andrew chose Dikor, a notorious Seven-Star Fiend and Wind Whistling Falcon, as the target for establishing his authority in Bloodflame Prefecture.
• Andrew saw through Dikor’s Soul Disguise with his powerful divine sense and sent troops to surround his hiding place.
• Dikor realized the prefect’s forces had found him, but decided he could escape the five Seven-Star Fiends and twenty thousand soldiers.
• Dikor walked out to face Moli and boasted that they still could not capture him.
• Andrew ordered Moli and the other four Seven-Star Fiends to attack before Dikor could use his words as a distraction.
• Dikor blocked Moli’s axe attack with his slender sword and a storm of sword energy, while Andrew assessed Dikor’s strength and considered his next move.

Dikor escaped Moli and four other Seven-Star Fiends until Andrew intervened as lord of Bloodflame Prefecture. Andrew offered Dikor surrender or one attack, and Dikor’s attempt to resist ended beneath Andrew’s overwhelming power.

• Dikor evaded the five Seven-Star Fiends, but Moli struck him with his thrown axe and wounded his shoulder.
• Dikor healed and resumed fighting, using his speed to keep Moli, Kang'en, and the others from landing attacks.
• Andrew appeared above the battlefield, and Moli and the others withdrew as the prefecture soldiers recognized their lord.
• Andrew confronted Dikor over his crimes in Bloodflame City and offered him the choice to surrender or take one attack.
• Dikor chose to face Andrew, but Andrew vanished from his sight and trapped him under immense pressure, leaving Dikor unable to escape or attack.

Andrew captured Dikor and recruited him by offering Sovereign’s Might, then used an auction to sell four drops at enormous prices. The bidding inspired Andrew to consider opening a trading association to build wealth and strengthen his power.

• Andrew captured Dikor in a single move, while Bloodflame Prefecture’s soldiers arrested other criminals and restored calm to Bloodflame City.
• Andrew decided to build a powerful force, revived Dikor, and offered him one drop of Sovereign’s Might every hundred thousand years to join his service.
• Dikor accepted Andrew’s offer after initially refusing to give up his freedom.
• Andrew presided over the auction and offered four drops of Sovereign’s Might, drawing intense bidding from powerful buyers, including Miluo Island.
• The first drop sold for thirty quadrillion Inkstones, prompting Andrew to consider opening a trading association to accumulate wealth faster.

Andrew took his family toward the Skyrite Mountains so his descendants could receive the Azure Dragon Clan’s baptism, while the Eight Great Clans’ forces surrounded the route. After Pusluo killed an Edric Clan patrol that tried to stop them, Andrew spotted a larger pursuing force and flew out to face it.

• Ling'er persuaded Andrew to let her join the journey to the Four Divine Beasts Clan, and Han Yue supported her.
• Andrew, his family, Pusluo, and Dikor set out from Bloodflame City in a golden dragon-shaped Metallic Lifeform.
• As they neared the Skyrite Mountains, Andrew detected numerous Eight Great Clans scouts and warned his family to prepare for a fight.
• An Edric Clan patrol blocked the Metallic Lifeform, and its leader shot at Pusluo after declaring that anyone connected to the Four Divine Beasts Clan must die.
• Pusluo killed the leader and the other elves, and Andrew detected dozens of Edric Clan Metallic Lifeforms pursuing them.
• Andrew spotted the Skyrite Mountains and the pursuing force, then left the Metallic Lifeform to confront them.

Andrew confronted the Edric Clan’s forces on his way to the Four Divine Beasts Clan and overwhelmed their elder, Chabu. He captured Chabu after the elder’s escape failed, intending to bring him as a meeting gift.

• Andrew crushed a Metallic Lifeform and killed the elves inside, prompting Chabu and more than two thousand Edric Clan warriors to confront him.
• Chabu challenged Andrew, but Andrew overpowered him in their first exchange and crushed his left hand.
• Chabu used Sovereign’s Might and Dance of Life, but Andrew broke free and drove him to flee while the other Edric Clan members scattered.
• Andrew chased Chabu, broke his attempt to escape with a Divine Power cage, and left him trapped after his Sovereign’s Might ran out.
• Chabu pleaded for forgiveness, but Andrew refused and declared that even the combined Eight Great Clans could not change their fate.

Andrew killed Chabu after the Edric elder attacked him, then arrived at the Skyrite Mountains and met Gaiseresen Redding. At a banquet, Andrew showed Gaiseresen the damaged Azure Dragon Ring, shattering his hope that the Azure Dragon was merely missing.

• Andrew imprisoned Chabu after shattering half his body, but Chabu self-destructed and scattered green motes of light.
• Andrew rejoined Han Yue, Ling'er, and the others near the Skyrite Mountains, then sent Dikor ahead to announce their arrival.
• Gaiseresen Redding welcomed Andrew after learning that he had killed Chabu and accepted the Edric elder as a greeting gift.
• Gaiseresen hosted Andrew and his family at a banquet in the Redding Clan's castle.
• Andrew showed Gaiseresen the Azure Dragon Ring, and Gaiseresen recognized it as his father's and realized the Azure Dragon had fallen.

Andrew reclaimed the Azure Dragon Ring from Gaiseresen and declared that he would join the Four Divine Beasts Clan’s war against the Eight Great Clans. After learning that Bernistan had died in battle, Andrew met with the four clan leaders and asked for his juniors to receive a bloodline baptism, reaffirming his promise to help in the war.

• Andrew told Gaiseresen he had found the Azure Dragon Ring in the Material Plane, and Gaiseresen asked him to keep its discovery secret before accepting his father’s choice and returning the ring to him.
• Andrew told Blu he had come both to arrange bloodline baptisms for his juniors and to fulfill his promise to intervene in the war against the Eight Great Clans.
• Blu told Andrew that Bernistan had been killed two years earlier when the Ashcroft Clan ambushed and wiped out his squad.
• Andrew mourned Bernistan, poured wine onto the ground, and reflected that his old friend had died serving the Four Divine Beasts Clan.
• Three days later, Andrew met with Gaiseresen and the other three clan leaders, then requested that his Azure Dragon-blooded juniors enter the Dragon Transformation Pool.
• Gaiseresen agreed that the juniors could enter the pool when it opened in thirty years, and Andrew announced that he had come to join the war.

Andrew agreed to demonstrate his strength to the Four Divine Beasts Clan leaders and matched the White Tiger Clan Leader in a race and a close-quarters spar. The fight ended with Gaiseresen concluding that Andrew was far stronger than White Tiger and could pose a serious threat to the Eight Great Clans.

• Andrew said he was not yet a Paragon but agreed to spar with the White Tiger Clan Leader so the clan leaders could assess his strength.
• Andrew and the White Tiger Clan Leader raced at full speed above the Skyrite Mountains, with Andrew keeping pace and leaving Gaiseresen and the other two clan leaders far behind.
• Andrew explained that his fused Azure Dragon bloodline had mutated, making him a true Divine Beast rather than merely a descendant with Divine Beast blood.
• The White Tiger Clan Leader transformed and attacked Andrew, and the two exchanged powerful blows while keeping their energy precisely controlled.
• Gaiseresen watched Andrew handle White Tiger's attacks with ease and said that Andrew's strength far surpassed White Tiger's, giving the Four Divine Beasts Clan a powerful ally against the Eight Great Clans.

Andrew sparred with the White Tiger Clan Leader, revealing his three-element fused divine power and formidable physical defense. The fight ended with White Tiger unable to defeat him, while Andrew recognized that his incomplete mastery of elemental mysteries still left him below the strongest Asura experts.

• The Black Tortoise Clan Leader noticed that Andrew matched the White Tiger Clan Leader in physical strength and defense.
• Andrew wounded White Tiger with arrows of fused water, fire, and lightning divine power, leading Gaiseresen and the other clan leaders to identify his three-element soul mutation.
• White Tiger brought out his Sovereign Artifact and struck Andrew with a powerful Wind Element slash, but Andrew met it with a fused-power punch and survived with only damaged dragon scales.
• Gaiseresen ended the spar, and White Tiger put away his weapon after realizing he had used nearly all his means without defeating Andrew.
• Andrew judged that top-tier Asura experts still surpassed him in fused mysteries and resolved to pursue their complete fusion.

Andrew discussed the Four Divine Beasts Clan’s worsening war with Gaiseresen and proposed a surprise attack to weaken the Eight Great Clans. Gaiseresen rejected the plan to protect the clan’s honor, leaving Andrew to seek another way to prevent its decline.

• Andrew considered the Four Divine Beasts Clan’s mounting losses and concluded that the war of attrition would eventually deplete its elders.
• Gaiseresen visited Andrew, admitted that elders were still dying, and insisted the clan would never compromise.
• Andrew argued that the Four Divine Beasts Clan could use its aces to launch a surprise attack and destroy one of the Eight Great Clans.
• Gaiseresen rejected the surprise attack, saying it would dishonor the Four Divine Beasts Clan.
• After Gaiseresen left, Andrew accepted that the clan’s pride would make his plan impossible and resolved to think of another way.

Andrew and Gaiseresen watched as the Azure Dragon Clan held an ancestral hall baptism for fifty-six youths, including Andrew’s descendants. His descendants continued absorbing Dragon Crystals far longer than the others, revealing Azure Dragon bloodlines of remarkable purity, and leaving Gaiseresen and the clan elders astonished.

• Andrew explained to Han Yue that he had shaped the weather by using the Laws rather than divine power.
• Thirty years after arriving at the Four Divine Beasts Clan, Andrew brought Herbert and his other descendants to the Azure Dragon Clan’s ancestral hall baptism with Gaiseresen.
• Elder Garvey prepared the Dragon Transformation Pool with Dragon Crystals, and the participants entered it to undergo the bloodline baptism.
• Andrew praised the Azure Dragon Sovereign’s method for awakening innate abilities and strengthening the souls and cultivation aptitude of his descendants.
• After a full day, most participants had formed azure cocoons, but Herbert, Deenmike, and Andrew’s other descendants were still absorbing Dragon Crystals.
• Gaiseresen and Elder Garvey realized that Andrew’s descendants had exceptionally pure Azure Dragon bloodlines, comparable to those of second- and third-generation clan members.

Andrew joined Squad Twenty-three in Blood War Valley and went with them to intercept an enemy force, while his teammates underestimated his strength. The mission turned into a desperate battle when the squad discovered the enemy had two Seven-Star Fiends and far more warriors than expected.

• Andrew arrived at Squad Twenty-three's quarters and met Nasha, who warned him that fighting the Eight Great Clans was dangerous.
• Furhan led Squad Twenty-three out to intercept the Ashcroft Clan's squad, unaware that Andrew's strength was hidden from him.
• Nasha warned Andrew to prepare for battle, and Andrew secretly sensed that the approaching force included two Seven-Star Fiends and over fifty Six-Star Fiends.
• Furhan destroyed the enemy Metallic Lifeform and discovered Kelo of the Barbary Clan and Mosli of the Nether Serpent Clan among the enemy forces.
• Kelo and Mosli engaged Furhan while the enemy's Six-Star Fiends surrounded Squad Twenty-three, prompting Nasha and the others to charge into battle despite the odds.

Andrew intervened in the battle between the Azure Dragon Clan and the Eight Great Clans, turning the Six-Star Fiends’ fight in the Azure Dragon Clan’s favor. As Mosli and Kelo nearly defeated Furhan, Furhan discovered his subordinates were still winning and worried that fleeing would expose his cowardice.

• Andrew used purple lightning twice to immobilize the Eight Great Clans’ Six-Star Fiends, helping the Azure Dragon Clan gain the upper hand.
• Mosli transformed into his Nether Serpent form and, with Kelo, pressed Furhan with physical and soul attacks.
• Andrew decided to intervene to save Furhan and strengthen the Four Divine Beasts Clan.
• Furhan saw Nasha and the Azure Dragon Clan warriors close to defeating their opponents and realized he could no longer escape without shame.
• Furhan considered using his remaining Sovereign's Might to flee from Mosli and Kelo.

Andrew intervened in the battle between the Four Divine Beasts Clan and the Eight Great Clans, overwhelming Mosli and Kelo and driving them to flee. He pursued Kelo and killed him, while Furhan led the survivors back to the Skyrite Mountains.

• Andrew appeared before Furhan and used Mosli as a whip to send him crashing into Kelo.
• After recognizing Andrew as the Prefect of Bloodflame Prefecture, Mosli tried to threaten and bargain with him, but Andrew refused to back down.
• Andrew attacked Mosli and Kelo, but they broke free and fled in opposite directions; he stopped Furhan from pursuing them and told the clan members to return home.
• Andrew chased Kelo, who turned back to attack him after realizing escape was impossible.
• Andrew dodged Kelo's charge and killed him with a finger strike, then took Kelo's Divine Spark, armor, and interspatial ring.

Andrew killed Mosli after effortlessly resisting the Nether Serpent Clan elder’s Soul Annihilation, then flew toward the Ashcroft Clan experts coming to rescue him. Elder Bulo and Joshua nearly collided with Andrew, and Bulo warned Joshua to flee if danger arose.

• Mosli tried to escape Andrew, but Andrew caught him with a water-element dragon claw and held him fast.
• Mosli unleashed the Nether Serpent Clan’s Soul Annihilation, but Andrew’s golden dragon soul shattered the attack.
• Andrew killed Mosli, took his Divine Spark and divine artifact, and crushed his interspatial ring when he could not bind it.
• Andrew searched for experts from the Eight Great Clans and detected Elder Bulo and Joshua approaching to rescue Mosli.
• Bulo sensed a trace of Andrew’s divine sense but continued onward with Joshua, unaware of how close Andrew had come.
• Bulo spotted Andrew ahead and urgently told Joshua to flee if anything happened.

Andrew confronted Ashcroft Clan elders Bulo and Joshua, who tried to flee after realizing his strength. He trapped them and stopped their escape, and the chapter ended as Bulo and Joshua unleashed Soul Annihilation against him.

• Andrew identified Bulo and Joshua as Ashcroft Clan elders and rejected Bulo’s invitation and offer of friendship.
• Bulo secretly urged Joshua to flee while preparing his black whip, but Joshua chose to stay and fight beside him.
• Andrew’s dragon claw clashed with Bulo’s whip and Joshua’s sword energy, then he pursued the pair as they fled east.
• Bulo and Joshua transformed into Nether Serpents and endured Andrew’s water-arrow attack before he caught up and trapped them in a dark cyan cage.
• Bulo and Joshua broke free, but Andrew kicked Joshua back toward Bulo and cut off their escape.
• Bulo and Joshua used the Nether Serpent’s Soul Annihilation against Andrew, who prepared to answer with his own ability.

Andrew defeated Bulo and Joshua with his powerful Dragon Roar, then killed Bulo after surviving the Nether Serpent elder’s counterattack. Seeking stronger opponents to break through his cultivation bottleneck and gain power for his Overgod Mission, Andrew flew farther east into Nether Serpent territory.

• Andrew’s Dragon Roar slowed time and weakened Bulo and Joshua’s Soul Annihilation, allowing him to kill Joshua and take his Divine Spark.
• Bulo attacked Andrew with his whip and transformed into his Nether Serpent form, but Andrew tore apart the Highgod Artifact and shattered Bulo’s fingers.
• Andrew battered Bulo until he was barely alive, then killed him and collected his Divine Spark, belongings, and corpse.
• Andrew considered his need to grow stronger to complete the Overgod Mission and kill Molder without exposing it.
• Andrew flew east into territory defended by the Nether Serpent Clan, hoping to find more difficult battles.
