Yeah, free and legal copies of that specific story are basically nonexistent. It's a spin-off, so it doesn't get the same publishing push. Audiobooks are especially unlikely unless a fan made one, which I've never come across.
Stick to the main series for wide availability. If you're desperate for the lore, the Fandom wiki has decent plot summaries for 'Mang Tian Chi' that'll fill you in without the hunt.
A few places might have fragments of 'Mang Tian Chi' floating around as machine translations or fan scans, but honestly, you're unlikely to find the complete, official version for free. This is a side story from the 'Battle Through the Heavens' universe, so it doesn't get the same wide distribution.
I'd really recommend checking if your local library partners with an app like Hoopla or Libby. Sometimes these niche titles pop up there legally. If not, the official web novel platforms are your safest bet—you might find it on sites like Webnovel, though it's usually behind a paywall or chapter-unlock system. Piracy sites are a mess for something this specific; the quality is terrible and it rarely gets fully translated anyway.
It's a shame because the lore around the Heaven Demon Phoenix tribe is fascinating, but tracking this one down legitimately is a challenge.
Good luck finding that. 'Mang Tian Chi' is super obscure even within the BTTH fandom. I wasted an hour once searching and only found maybe five poorly translated chapters on some aggregator site, then a bunch of dead links.
Your best shot is probably the original Chinese source if you can read it, on Qidian or something. For English, I doubt there's a full ebook or audiobook for free. Sometimes fan groups pick up these side stories, but I haven't seen one for this. Maybe try asking in the BTTH subreddit? Someone might have a PDF stashed away.
Honestly, for the time you'd spend hunting, you might just read a synopsis on the BTTH wiki.

The day my elder sister stole my fiancé from me, I did not fight back.
Instead, I slipped past the maid guarding me and went straight to find my father.
“She can have my fiancé. I’m marrying the Regent!”
My father stared at me in shock.
Everyone knew the Regent was in charge, but rumors said he could not father a child and had a nasty temper.
What they did not know was that I was born under heaven’s favor—blessed with the gift of life itself.
In my previous life, that blessing became my curse. My elder sister and stepmother smeared my name, claiming that my curves and easy fortune meant I had been defiled before marriage.
My fiancé was disgusted and turned away from me. That was when my sister seized the chance to take my place.
Even on her wedding day, my sister was not at ease. She had me dragged away like a lowly servant and sent to a brothel, ordering the madam to torture me.
While I lay dying in the dark, she lived in the light, bearing children with my former fiancé and enjoying a lifetime of happiness that should have been mine.
Now that I had been given another life, I refused to bow to fate again.
She might have stolen my fiancé, but she could never take the blessing I was born with.

I picked up 'Mang Tian Chi' after burning through the main story of 'Battle Through the Heavens' and I'm conflicted. On one hand, it's pure dopamine for any BTTH completist—you get more of Xiao Yan's early, scrappy days and some genuinely cool world-building about the Dou Qi Continent's ancient history that the main novel only hints at. The fights have that same energy.
But the pacing is... different. It's structured more like a collection of side stories and prequel lore than a single driving narrative. If you go in expecting the same relentless forward momentum as the main series, you might get impatient. I skimmed some of the more philosophical tangents about 'Heavenly Flame' origins, honestly. It's worth it for the extra context, but maybe as a wiki dive or a relaxed read between other stuff.
Just finished the last chapter of 'Mang Tian Chi' last night after powering through it for three days straight. If you're coming from 'Battle Through the Heavens', you'll recognize a lot of the DNA – a young master gets humiliated, loses everything, and then embarks on a classic cultivation comeback trail. The world-building is denser in some ways, with a heavier focus on alchemy and artifact refinement systems that feel more technical than in 'BTTH'. The protagonist's drive is relentless, almost uncomfortably so at times; there's less of the found-family warmth of Xiao Yan's crew and more of a solitary, vengeance-fueled grind.
Whether it's 'worth it' really hinges on your tolerance for that kind of protagonist and a plot that's pretty married to the formula. I got a kick out of the intricate power system and the sheer scale of the conflicts later on, but I missed the character banter. It’s a solid execution of the archetype, but it won’t redefine the genre for you. My copy was full of translation hiccups, though, which sometimes yanked me right out of the immersion.
If we're talking about 'Battle Through the Heavens', the 'Mang Tian Chi' chapters refer to a specific translation source group from a while back. Honestly, I'd strongly advise against trying to follow a specific fan-translator's release order now. Those old scanlation sites were a mess, with chapters uploaded out of sequence, missing, or under different numbering. You'll just get confused.
For clarity, stick to the official source or a well-moderated aggregate. Read by the original Chinese chapter numbers from the webnovel on Qidian. The story itself follows Xiao Yan's journey from his youth in Wu Tan City through the various trials, so the novel's own sequence is the only one that matters. Chasing old scanlation batches is a recipe for spoilers and frustration.
I've looked into this a lot. The title you're asking about is usually officially published as 'Battle Through the Heavens', which is the English translation of the Chinese web novel 'Dou Po Cang Qiong'. For free, legal versions, your main options are web novel platforms that host translations under licensing agreements.
Webnovel (formerly Qidian International) often has the official translation. They use a freemium model where you can read some chapters for free daily or with 'fast passes', but later chapters usually require payment or waiting. I've also seen it on sites like Wuxiaworld, though their licensing can change; sometimes they have it, sometimes they lose the rights and it moves. The official source from China is probably the China Literature/QQ Reading app, but that's in Chinese.
Honestly, the translation under 'Battle Through the Heavens' is the one you want. Searching that on a site like NovelUpdates will link you to the currently licensed platforms. It's a bit of a moving target as licenses expire and get picked up by other sites. The manhua (comic) adaptation is a different thing altogether and is on platforms like Webcomics or Manhua Plus.
Sometimes you can find the original Chinese text free on sites hosting the source material, but that requires reading in Mandarin.
