A group of experts coordinated their attacks against a rapidly healing dragon and used sacrificed weapons charged with their combined power to inflict two serious wounds. As they prepared to strike again, the dragon fled toward the Dragon Race.

• A man distributed extraordinary objects to the experts, helping them coordinate their attacks and defenses.

• The dragon accused the humans of being despicable, but the experts urged each other to attack before it could heal.
• The group repeated their combined weapon attack and inflicted a second major wound on the dragon.
• As the experts prepared another attack, the dragon turned and fled toward the Dragon Race.

The Human Race’s experts believed they had found a way to seriously wound the dragons, but one injured dragon returned to battle with his wounds healed and greater strength. At the Dragon Race’s camp, Luo Ling’er used medicinal soup from a cauldron to restore the dragons, while Zhong Ming watched the Human Race unknowingly face their support.

• Luo Ling’er threw a ladleful of soup to a wounded dragon, who drank it and rapidly healed.
• Zhong Ming praised the soup’s potency and remarked that the Human Race would be furious if they knew Master was supporting the Dragon Race.

As the Human Race and Dragon Race fought, a young man used a broom to collect scattered treasures, then faced two cultivators who tried to rob him. When one attacked, the young man struck back with a pickaxe that smashed through every defense and headed straight for his target.

• Experts poured through teleportation arrays to watch the battle between the Human Race and Dragon Race, while others searched the battlefield for valuables.
• A young man swept up scattered items with his broom before two cultivators could claim them.
• The two cultivators cornered the young man and demanded his broom and the secrets behind his treasures.
• The young man answered by attacking one of them with a plain pickaxe.
• The cultivator used several techniques and a prized defensive item, but the pickaxe shattered them all and continued toward him.

Jin Fugui defeated two attackers with his pickaxe while Gu Chen dominated the Human Race’s chosen in battle. Lu Changzhi brought Qin Li and Mu Fan to the Dragon Race’s battlefield and told them to release the clans they had brought, leaving the Black Tortoise to arrive later.

• Jin Fugui drove two men into the ground with his pickaxe, planted seeds in their mouths, and left to continue sweeping.
• Gu Chen fought the Human Race’s chosen with the Emperor Body and Ten Thousand Scale Armor, gaining the upper hand and improving as he battled.

• Onlookers discussed Gu Chen’s strength and the Human Race’s advantage over the Dragon Race, while Lu Changzhi judged that the Human Race could badly damage a Sacred Beast Race.
• Lu Changzhi brought Qin Li and then Mu Fan to the Dragon Race’s battlefield, where Qin Li asked whether the White Tiger Clan and others were arriving too slowly.
• Lu Changzhi told Qin Li and Mu Fan to find a suitable place and release the clans they had brought as a surprise.

Mu Fan infiltrated a Human Race faction by killing and impersonating one of its Dao Realm experts, then brought Zhu Li and the Vermilion Birds to raid its base. They attacked the faction’s powerful defensive barrier, which held against their initial strikes.

• Mu Fan decided to raid a faction’s base instead of joining the battle and found a lone man emerging from a concealed outpost.
• Mu Fan killed the Dao Realm expert with a Vermilion Bird artifact, took his appearance and memories, and used his identity to pass through the teleportation restrictions.
• Mu Fan reached the faction’s territory, summoned Zhu Li and several Vermilion Birds, and ordered them to raid the base.
• Zhu Li and the Vermilion Birds attacked the faction’s buildings, but their opening strikes failed to break the defensive barrier.
• An old man emerged from the buildings and challenged the Vermilion Birds while remaining under the barrier’s protection.

Mu Fan used Realm of Mirrors to send the Vermilion Birds past a major power’s defenses, where they bombarded its buildings before retreating. Meanwhile, the White Tiger Clan and Vermilion Bird Race arrived at the battle outside the Dragon Race’s territory, and Bai Po told Li Baimei to leave the rest to them.

• Mu Fan had Zhu Li gather the Vermilion Birds, then used Realm of Mirrors to make them reappear inside the defended territory.
• Zhu Li and the Vermilion Birds bombarded buildings and palaces before withdrawing, while Mu Fan decided to return to the larger battle.
• A powerful expert reported the Vermilion Bird Race’s attack to the fighters outside the Dragon Race’s territory, and the news raised fears that other races might join in.
• The White Tiger Clan appeared at the battlefield, followed by the Vermilion Birds, leaving the gathered fighters wondering whether the other great Beast Races would intervene.
• Bai Po praised Li Baimei and told him to leave the rest to them.

Bai Po warned the Human Race experts to leave, then revealed that the Beast Race had a Beast God while the Human Emperor was gone. Li Baimei and Lu Xun suspected the Beast God was “Lu Lulu,” and the battle resumed when Lu Xun attacked Bai Po.

• Bai Po warned Li Baimei that the Beast Race would make him regret staying, while the Longwang Clan continued fighting elsewhere.
• Bai Po announced that the Beast Race had a Beast God and claimed the Human Emperor was gone, prompting the dragons to withdraw temporarily as the fighters reacted.
• The Human Race experts recalled that the names on the Desolate Ancient Emperor Stele began with “Lu” and suspected the Beast God was “Lu Lulu.”
• Lu Xun asked Li Baimei whether the Beast God was “Lu Lulu,” and Li Baimei admitted to himself that the possibility troubled him.
• Lu Xun attacked Bai Po with his sword, Bai Po transformed his power into a giant white tiger, and the White Tigers and Vermilion Birds charged the Human Race experts.

The Vermilion Birds used explosive implements to bombard the gathered experts, turning the sky into a field of black mushroom clouds. Watching from above, Zhong Ming discussed raiding the other factions’ homes with Mu Fan and asked how to reach their ancestral grounds.

• Bai Po told a Longwang Clan member to keep the enemy occupied before going after Li Baimei.
• The Vermilion Birds attacked with spirit-guided explosive sticks, blasting experts and leaving many wounded or covered in debris.
• The experts struggled to counter the Vermilion Birds’ aerial bombardment and complained that the explosive weapons were difficult to block.
• Zhong Ming watched the explosions and wondered whether Mu Fan shared his background or had been influenced by the descendants of Yan and Huang.
• Zhong Ming asked Mu Fan about raiding the enemy’s homes, and Mu Fan revealed that he had already gone inside and blown them up.
• Zhong Ming asked Mu Fan to teach him how to reach their ancestral grounds so he could rob them.

Mu Fan and Zhong Ming broke into a faction’s ancestral tomb to loot it, but they fled when someone approached. The tomb’s supposedly dead ancestor suddenly woke and summoned his old saber, leaving the faction stunned.

• Mu Fan used the Realm of Mirrors to take Zhong Ming into the sealed ancestral tomb, where they opened the coffin and found an ancient corpse.
• As intruders approached, Mu Fan stuffed Zhong Ming into the cloth bag and escaped, leaving the coffin open.
• Two faction members found the coffin and discovered that their old ancestor had awakened inside it.
• The old ancestor summoned his long saber, which flew from its display in another building and smashed through a wall on its way to him.

The Ding Clan's awakened ancestor sent two descendants to join the battle while he remained to investigate the ancestral mausoleum. Elsewhere, Mu Fan and Xiao Ye helped turn the fighting to their advantage, and Xiao Ye's poisoned soup drew the ancestor into the fray, where he swallowed the entire glob of venom.

• The Ding Clan's ancestor awakened, learned that the clan leader had joined the Human Emperor Hall against the Dragon Race, and urged two descendants to go help while he stayed behind.
• Zhong Ming asked Mu Fan to return him to the sack, and Mu Fan headed back to the battlefield with the system-rewarded firearm.
• Xiao Ye asked Luo Ling'er to make poisonous soup, then carried it to the battle and announced that it revealed the secret behind the Dragon Race's rapid recovery.
• Xiao Ye's venom burst into droplets, and the Ding Clan's ancestor drove off a competitor before gathering and swallowing it all.
• The other fighters searched for more venom after seeing the ancestor grow vigorous from consuming it.

The medicinal liquid restored strength and rapidly healed wounds, prompting fighters to battle fiercely for each new appearance. As the battlefield grew more chaotic, the liquid’s swallowed portions were revealed to occupy plots of land.

• The old man swallowed a ball of medicinal liquid, recovered from fatigue and injuries, and charged at a demonic beast.
• Fighters rushed to seize another appearance of the liquid, and one man swallowed it after a blade nearly severed his arm.
• The man’s arm began healing within a dozen breaths, but a spearman later destroyed his head and soul to test the liquid’s limits.
• The fighters realized the liquid could not restore someone whose head had been destroyed, then searched for more when it vanished.
• The liquid appeared in multiple places, drawing more fighters into the battle as no one noticed that those who had swallowed it occupied plots of land.

Ding Zhongxing returned to the Ding Clan and learned that its ancestor had awakened many long-dead elders to aid the clan. On the battlefield, the ancestor charged at Ji Qing, but suddenly exploded, leaving Ding Zhongxing and the others stunned.

• Ding Zhongxing went to the ancestral mausoleum and met his revived great-great-grandfather, who said the ancestor had awakened him and other elders.
• The Ding Clan ancestor emerged with three formations of revived elders and led Ding Zhongxing’s group toward the battlefield.
• Ding Zhongxing spotted Ji Qing and identified him as an arch-enemy of the Ding Clan.
• The ancestor ordered the revived elders to charge at the figures Ding Zhongxing had shown him, then approached Ji Qing.
• The ancestor abruptly exploded, unleashing destructive force that annihilated nearby space and figures from the Human Race and Beast Race.

The Ding Clan’s ancestors self-destructed in a coordinated formation, devastating a wide area of the battlefield and leaving the clan and the four great faction leaders stunned. Zhong Ming revealed to Mu Fan that he had arranged the explosions, while an unknown emperor observed the attack and wondered what faction had carried it out.

• The Ding Clan’s ancestor self-destructed, then the remaining ancestors scattered into an orderly formation and all detonated together.
• The explosions swept through the battlefield, killing many and prompting fighters to speculate that one of the four great factions was responsible.
• Ding Zhongxing was left bewildered when he realized the Ding Clan had lost every ancestor.
• Mu Fan praised Zhong Ming for the coordinated explosions, and Zhong Ming said he had learned the art from Mu Fan.
• An unknown emperor watched the smoke clear and suspected an unfamiliar faction had orchestrated the attack.

The four factions continued battling as mysterious self-detonations caused heavy casualties, while the Beast Race’s dragons and White Tigers proved difficult to wear down. Li Baimei grew suspicious that the blasts were part of a scheme and proposed that the Human Race join forces to eliminate one of the sacred beast sides first.

• Qin Li suspected Zhong Ming was behind the secret support helping the dragon and resolved to focus on ending the battle.
• The factions watched the Dragon Race’s young fighter, while the Vermilion Birds used explosives and the White Tigers displayed powerful regeneration.
• A second wave of self-detonations killed many fighters, with the Human Race suffering heavier losses than the Beast Race.
• Li Baimei noticed the detonators seemed mentally abnormal and wondered who had forced them to act and how many remained.
• Li Baimei told Lu Xun they should join forces to surprise one of the three sacred beast sides and defeat it first.

Li Baimei and Lu Xun joined forces with the other human factions to feint against Bai Po and pursue Zhu Li, while their true target shifted to the Dragon Race's Atavism cub. The chapter ended with experts from all four factions diving toward the cub after Qian Guiyi launched an attack.

• Li Baimei explained to Lu Xun that the humans should feint against Bai Po and the Vermilion Bird Race while aiming to strike the Longwang Clan, and Lu Xun gained the other factions' agreement.
• Li Baimei challenged Bai Po, and experts from all four human factions converged on the White Tiger King as the other human fighters kept the White Tigers occupied.
• Bai Po called for help in human speech, and the Vermilion Birds and Dragon Race responded while Li Baimei engaged him.
• Four figures broke from the melee and attacked Zhu Li, then pursued him as he fled, drawing the battlefield's attention away from Bai Po.
• Qian Guiyi abruptly changed direction and attacked the Dragon Race's Atavism cub, prompting Li Baimei and the other factions' experts to rush toward it.
