Chu Xinghe left the Wolf King’s seclusion after his Misfortune Compass began spinning backward and learned that Wu Erke and Ding Feng had developed a way to reset spirit-beast contracts and awakenings. The discovery promised to make Wujiang immensely profitable, while Chu Xinghe realized it had undone his plans to consume the Holy Land’s resources.

• Chu Xinghe watched Wolf King Ming Han absorb the Demon God's Arm Bone and prepared a God-Controlling Formation in case the Wolf King faced danger during his breakthrough.
• Chu Xinghe’s Misfortune Compass suddenly spun backward and deducted his recent gains, so he left the Wolf King with junior brothers and rushed to the Civil Engineering Department.
• Chu Xinghe found Azure Dragon sprawled on the ground and heard people praising Xinghe’s plans, then Wu Erke and Ding Feng excitedly explained their achievement.

• Chu Xinghe recognized that the new reset ability had ruined his effort to consume the Holy Land’s resources and complained that Wu Erke and Ding Feng had developed a stat-reset function.

Chu Xinghe’s plan to profit from repeated spirit beast awakenings became clear when the Power of Void removed master-recognition contracts and Ding Feng could perform second awakenings without rest. After the news spread across the Three Continents, Zheng Yu was vindicated for refusing to sell Martial Emperor City’s old man with an innate defective physique.

• News that the Power of Void could devour master-recognition contracts and turn innate defective physiques into divine physiques spread across the Three Continents.
• Factions searched for innate defective physiques, while Zheng Yu boasted that he had been right to keep the old man.

Wu Erke's contract-devouring service turned Wujiang profitable as demand for spirit beast awakenings overwhelmed the available specialists. Chu Xinghe received a major boost to his Body Arts rather than a cultivation breakthrough, before Shen Chun arrived with news that something had happened with the Wolf King.

• Prodigies and factions across the Three Continents sought spirit beast awakenings, while observers credited Chu Xinghe with planning the developments.
• Wu Erke taught the Power of Void to the people of Wujiang and opened a master-recognition contract devouring center that quickly turned Wujiang's losses into profits.

• Shen Chun rushed to Chu Xinghe and announced that something had happened with the Wolf King.

• The Great Sage explained that the Wolf King was trapped in the Spirit-Forbidden Realm and, having absorbed over ninety percent of the inheritance's resentment, would not cooperate with a rescue.

• Wu Man revealed the Evil Shadow Continent's plan to trap and kill Chu Xinghe, reasoning that the attempt would provoke Vast Heaven Holy Land into destroying the Evil Spirit Clan.

• Wu Man revealed that the Witch Curse Evil Lord and Strength Barbarian Evil Lord planned to send their prodigies after Chu Xinghe in the Spirit-Forbidden Realm.
• The Grand Elder and Vast Heaven Holy Land’s elders opposed sending Chu Xinghe into danger, while An Lan offered to go and Gu Mingchao proposed waiting for Qu Yifeng and the others to grow stronger.
• Holy Empress Ji Ya explained that the Wolf King could survive only a few months, far too little time for Qu Yifeng and the others to prepare.
• Chu Xinghe said he would enter the Spirit-Forbidden Realm because he had encouraged the Wolf King to go in, and declared that he wanted to challenge the Strength Barbarian prodigies.

• Chu Xinghe welcomed the Strength Barbarian Evil Spirits’ interference, believing their attacks would prolong the search and consume more of the God-Controlling Formation’s power.
• The Grand Elder tried to delay Chu Xinghe, but Chu Xinghe named Wu Beichen as a Ninth Rank Body Cultivator who could accompany him.

• Wu Beichen joined Chu Xinghe, the elders gave them rare treasures, and the White Tiger Holy Venerable warned them to retreat if they could not win.
• The God-Controlling Formation sent Chu Xinghe and Wu Beichen into the Spirit-Forbidden Realm, while the Witch Curse Evil Lord alerted the Strength Barbarian Evil Lord.
• The Strength Barbarian Evil Lord summoned Man Ben and the Strength Barbarian Evil Spirit prodigies to hunt the newcomers.

Chu Xinghe entered the Spirit-Forbidden Realm with Wu Beichen to rescue the Wolf King, while the Strength Barbarian Evil Spirits prepared to kill him. Man Ben sealed the realm with a Formation-Sealing Stone, trapping everyone inside as a hidden third threat watched from the Wolf King’s location.

• The Strength Barbarian Evil Lord ordered Man Ben to lead the strongest Strength Barbarian Evil Spirit geniuses into the Spirit-Forbidden Realm to hunt Chu Xinghe.

The Demon God's Resentment possessed the Wolf King's soul and waited for the Strength Barbarian Evil Spirits to take him out of the Spirit-Forbidden Realm. With the Formation-Sealing Stone preventing escape, Man Ben sent 362 prodigies to hunt Chu Xinghe, but the first team to find him was swiftly taken out, leaving Wu Beichen facing one enemy alone.

• The Demon God's Resentment took control of the Wolf King's soul, planning to complete his possession if someone carried him out of the Spirit-Forbidden Realm within a few days.
• The Formation-Sealing Stone trapped Chu Xinghe and Wu Beichen in the realm, while Man Ben organized 362 Strength Barbarian Evil Spirit prodigies into search teams.

• Wu Beichen charged one Strength Barbarian Evil Spirit and prepared to face a second, only to find his opponent's teammates had disappeared.
• Chu Xinghe waved from nearby and urged Wu Beichen to keep fighting for training, while Wu Beichen wondered where the other four enemies had gone.

Chu Xinghe killed four Strength Barbarian Evil Spirits in three seconds while Wu Beichen fought a fifth, stunning viewers across the Three Continents.

• Wu Beichen killed the last Strength Barbarian Evil Spirit, realized Chu Xinghe had blown the other four apart, and excitedly proposed fighting head-on; Chu Xinghe told him to focus on dodging.

Chu Xinghe fled with Wu Beichen after effortlessly killing four Strength Barbarian Evil Spirits, hoping to avoid wiping out the enemy and ruining his plan to drain the sect’s resources. Misreading the brief battle and the lone corpse, Man Ben concluded Chu Xinghe was weak and ordered his forces to capture him alive.

• Wu Beichen watched Chu Xinghe kill four Strength Barbarian Evil Spirits in seconds and became convinced they could win.
• Chu Xinghe decided the Strength Barbarian Evil Spirits were too weak to withstand a killing spree, so he grabbed Wu Beichen and ran.
• The Haotian Mirror broadcast Chu Xinghe’s escape, leaving Zheng Yu and the onlookers astonished.
• Man Ben arrived at the scene, examined the single corpse, and mistakenly deduced that Chu Xinghe had barely fought and was still being chased by the other four members of the squad.
• Man Ben changed the mission from killing Chu Xinghe to capturing him alive so the Strength Barbarian Evil Spirits could use him to threaten the Vast Heaven Holy Land.

Chu Xinghe avoided the Wolf King’s manifestations so he could keep the Strength Barbarian Evil Spirits alive and drain their resources, while the Demon God's Resentment tried to force him into a confrontation. The Wolf King began chasing Chu Xinghe, and Man Ben joined the pursuit, leaving everyone baffled by the strange hunt.

• Chu Xinghe refused Wu Beichen’s suggestion to investigate the first light and fled in the opposite direction, while the Demon God's Resentment wondered why he had run from the Wolf King’s manifestation.
• Man Ben found the Wolf King, set an ambush, and waited three days for Chu Xinghe, but Chu Xinghe never appeared.
• With time running out, the Demon God's Resentment sent the Wolf King flying away from Man Ben, then manifested again to draw Chu Xinghe toward it.
• Chu Xinghe continued fleeing from the Wolf King’s presence and Dharma Aspect, while the Demon God's Resentment chased him.
• Man Ben and the Strength Barbarian Evil Spirits also pursued Chu Xinghe, bewildered that the Wolf King was chasing him instead of being difficult to find.

Chu Xinghe kept fleeing through the Spirit-Forbidden Realm while the Demon God's Resentment pursued him, and the Vast Heaven Holy Land desperately maintained the God-Controlling Formation despite its enormous cost. When the Demon God's Resentment finally emerged from the Wolf King's soul, Elder He interpreted Chu Xinghe’s running as a deliberate plan, though Chu Xinghe had only been trying to use up more resources; the Demon God's Resentment then decided to kill Chu Xinghe before time ran out.

• Chu Xinghe spent ten days running from the Wolf King and Man Ben’s Strength Barbarian Evil Spirits as his Misfortune Compass spun wildly.
• The Formation-Sealing Stone threatened to stop the God-Controlling Formation, so the Grand Elder asked White Tiger Holy Venerable to sustain it at immense cost.

• Chu Xinghe summoned the token-shaped divine sword called the Evil Repeller and enlarged it.
• Chu Xinghe swung the Evil Repeller and split the Demon God's Resentment's purple tide in two.

Chu Xinghe used Evil Repeller to split the Demon God's Resentment apart, nearly destroying it. The Resentment survived by possessing Man Ben and the other Strength Barbarian Evil Spirits, then resolved to use them to kill Chu Xinghe and seize his body.

• Chu Xinghe cleaved the Demon God's Resentment with vertical and horizontal strikes, cutting its purple tide into four pieces.
• The Demon God's Resentment reassembled with its body covered in cracks, realizing Evil Repeller could destroy its soul.
• The Demon God's Resentment abandoned its plan to possess the Wolf King and possessed Man Ben and the other Strength Barbarian Evil Spirits instead.
• The Demon God's Resentment strengthened the possessed Strength Barbarian Evil Spirits and planned to use them to kill Chu Xinghe and seize his body.

Chu Xinghe unleashed his Phoenix Wings and slaughtered the Strength Barbarian Evil Spirits controlled by the Demon God's Resentment, racing to save the Wolf King's destabilizing soul. As the prodigies' soul lamps went out one after another on the Evil Shadow Continent, the Strength Barbarian Evil Lord was left stunned.

• The Strength Barbarian Evil Lord watched the Strength Barbarian Evil Spirit prodigies' soul lamps go out one after another and wondered what was happening.

The Strength Barbarian Evil Lord watched the soul lamps of the Strength Barbarian Evil Spirits turn red, then saw them go out in rapid succession as Chu Xinghe attacked inside the Spirit-Forbidden Realm. The lamps revealed that the Demon God's Resentment had possessed the prodigies and found the Spine of the Evil God in Man Ben’s possession.

• The Strength Barbarian Evil Lord worried after five Strength Barbarian Evil Spirit soul lamps went out, then felt relieved when the remaining lamps stayed lit for days.
• All the Strength Barbarian Evil Spirit soul lamps turned red, and the evil lords assumed the prodigies had gained a fortuitous opportunity or killed Chu Xinghe.
• Man Ben’s lamp turned a red so deep it looked black, which the White Spirit Evil Lord identified as Ninth Rank Great Perfection.
• The Strength Barbarian Evil Lord celebrated Man Ben’s breakthrough, but the Strength Barbarian Evil Spirit soul lamps began going out in rapid succession.
• Inside the Spirit-Forbidden Realm, Chu Xinghe went on a killing spree against the possessed Strength Barbarian Evil Spirit prodigies, while the Demon God's Resentment discovered the Spine of the Evil God in Man Ben’s body.

Chu Xinghe slaughtered the Strength Barbarian Evil Spirits in the Spirit-Forbidden Realm before clashing with the Demon God's Resentment, whose power Cheng Xiaotian explained exceeded a normal Ninth Rank. The chapter left Chu Xinghe and Man Ben facing off amid the stunned spectators.

• The Three Continents' prodigies and major figures watched Chu Xinghe use his speed and Phoenix-boosted Power of Qi and Blood to massacre the Strength Barbarian Evil Spirits.

• Their collision sent a devastating shockwave across the battlefield, injuring Wu Beichen even though he was a kilometer away and causing him to flee with the Wolf King's soul.
• Zheng Yu worried about his own strength after seeing the shockwave, and Cheng Xiaotian explained that Man Ben wielded a Main God's power while Chu Xinghe's body and Phoenix Fire made him far stronger than an ordinary Ninth Rank.

Chu Xinghe fought the Demon God's Resentment in the Spirit-Forbidden Realm, relying on his overwhelming strength and Phoenix Fire rather than competing with the ancient foe in technique. After repeated head-on clashes, Chu Xinghe broke the Demon God's Resentment's arm and smashed him into the earth, leaving the battle unresolved.

• People across the Three Continents watched through the Haotian Mirror as Chu Xinghe demonstrated his combat strength, while Wu Beichen fled the clashes' aftershocks with the Wolf King's soul.

• Chu Xinghe broke the Demon God's Resentment's arm, struck his chest with enough force to shatter his bones, and blasted him underground.

The Demon God's Resentment survived thanks to the Spine of the Evil God, which began rebuilding his body and unleashed power beyond his previous limit.

• The Demon God's Resentment declared that the Spine of the Evil God had activated its power to protect its master, and the re-forming monster surpassed its former Ninth Rank Great Perfection strength.

Demon God's Resentment reassembled Man Ben's body and activated the Spine of the Evil God, gaining a two-hundred-percent power boost that left Chu Xinghe facing an apparently hopeless battle. With Wolf King's soul close to collapsing and everyone urging him to flee, Chu Xinghe stood his ground as Demon God's Resentment attacked, then moved to deliver a punch he called “Basic Attack.”

• Demon God's Resentment used the Spine of the Evil God to reassemble Man Ben and boost his Ninth Rank Great Perfection power by two hundred percent.

• As Demon God's Resentment's power enveloped him, Chu Xinghe moved and announced that his punch was called “Basic Attack.”

• The Demon God's Resentment attacked Chu Xinghe with power boosted by two hundred percent, but Chu Xinghe stayed his ground and punched it with his Basic Attack.

Chu Xinghe defeated the Demon God's Resentment, but its remaining power gathered in the Spine of the Evil God, which Wu Beichen took. As the Spirit-Forbidden Realm collapsed, Chu Xinghe escaped with Wu Beichen and the Wolf King's soul, while the Three Continents marveled at his strength and wondered how far ahead he was.

• Evil Repeller shattered the Demon God's Resentment, whose power flowed into the Spine of the Evil God and broke the Formation-Sealing Stone.

• The Wolf King ascended as the new god of the Demon Star Continent, bowed to Chu Xinghe, and thanked him for making his rise possible.
• Chu Xinghe noticed that his Misfortune Compass was still spinning and wondered why the Spine of the Evil God had not caused a reversal.
• Elder He examined the spine, and Wu Man determined that its ownership imprint could not be removed because only three of its nine segments were present.
• The Great Elder summoned Wu Erke, who used the Power of Void to forcibly break the spine’s ownership imprint.
• Something shocked everyone after Wu Erke opened the spine.

Wu Erke repeatedly tried to remove the binding contracts from the Spine of the Evil God, but they kept returning because the primary body on the Evil Shadow Continent controlled its secondary sections. Vast Heaven Holy Land realized it could not use the captured relics or extract the Demon God's Resentment, leaving Chu Xinghe delighted that the treasure could not derail his plans.

• Wu Erke used his Power of Void to devour the binding contract on the Spine of the Evil God, but the contract instantly returned.
• Chu Xinghe checked his still-spinning Misfortune Compass and realized the pure power could not be extracted.
• Elder He explained that the Spine of the Evil God had one primary body and eight secondary parts, and the primary body controlled the contracts on the others.
