Chapter Summaries

Ling Mou and the Formation Spirit Clan worked with Chu Xinghe to repair the Two Continents Passage’s star disc after the clans supplied vast resources. Ling Mou demonstrated Formation Transposition to hide repaired fragments from the Blazing Sun Continent, but the newly repaired fragment suddenly shattered, leaving everyone bewildered.

• Yuan Zheng ordered the Ape Clan and other major clans to provide resources for repairing the Two Continents Passage.
• Ling Mou and the Formation Spirit Clan consulted Chu Xinghe about formations, while Chu Xinghe’s formation abilities rapidly improved through their explanations.
• The clans delivered enormous quantities of resources, and Chu Xinghe warned Ling Mou that the Blazing Sun Continent could keep destroying repaired fragments.
• Ling Mou used the resources to fuse a fragment into the star disc and demonstrated Formation Transposition, which concealed the fragment’s location from the Blazing Sun Continent.
• The fragment Ling Mou pointed out abruptly shattered, leaving Chu Xinghe and Ling Mou stunned.

Chu Xinghe expected She Meng to counter the Formation Spirit Clan’s Formation Transposition, but Elder He used the Haotian Mirror to locate and destroy repaired star chart fragments from the Blazing Sun Continent. When resources spilled from the passage after a fragment was destroyed, the Vast Heaven Sect concluded that Xinghe’s plan was to divert the Demon Race’s resources to their side.

• Ling Mou explained how Formation Transposition concealed the locations of repaired star chart fragments, but the newly repaired fragment immediately cracked and went dark.
• Elder He used the Haotian Mirror to see the fragment’s true position and destroy it, stunning Ling Mou and the Formation Spirit Clan.
• Zhang Zhi realized that the Haotian Mirror let Elder He bypass Formation Transposition and locate fragments that Blazing Sun Continent’s formation masters could not find.
• Resources from both continents spilled out of the Two Continents Passage after the fragment was destroyed, with roughly eighty percent of the unabsorbed resources returning.
• The Vast Heaven Sect’s elders and Ma Liang concluded that Chu Xinghe had planned to drain the Demon Race’s resources and bring them to the Blazing Sun Continent.

Ling Mou and the Formation Spirit Clan repeatedly repaired the same star-disc fragment and used increasingly powerful Formation Transposition, only for the fragment to be knocked down each time. Chu Xinghe pointed out that the Blazing Sun Continent's formation masters could ignore their formations and simply keep attacking the same fragment.

• Ma Liang realized Chu Xinghe's plan was to make the Demon Race spend resources repairing the star disc, then send most of those resources to the Blazing Sun Continent when fragments fell.
• Zhang Zhi and the Blazing Sun Continent's formation masters watched in disbelief as the Vast Heaven Sect seemed to turn the Two Continents Passage into a source of supplies.
• Ling Mou rallied four Formation Spirit Clan members to repair a fallen fragment and use Formation Transposition, but the fragment immediately fell again.
• Ling Mou gathered the entire Formation Spirit Clan into their Natal Origin Formation, repaired the same fragment, and used their strongest Formation Transposition, but the fragment fell once more.
• The Formation Spirit Clan suspected an impossible enemy had broken their formation, while Chu Xinghe suggested that the humans were simply attacking the same fragment without engaging Formation Transposition.

The Formation Spirit Clan repeatedly failed to attach star chart fragments because an unknown opponent on the Blazing Sun Continent destroyed each one, despite Chu Xinghe’s advice and the Demon Race’s enormous expenditure of resources. Yuan Zheng rallied the clans to provide more resources, but after further failures he suspected the Blazing Sun Continent was spying on Ling Mou’s methods, while Ling Mou insisted no human spy could be among the Demon Race’s higher-ups.

• Chu Xinghe pointed out that the Formation Spirit Clan had repeatedly repaired the same star chart fragment, so Ling Mou tried a different fragment, which was immediately shattered.
• The Formation Spirit Clan tried five more fragments and failed each time, consuming two-thirds of the resources supplied by the clans without attaching any fragment.
• Yuan Zheng and the eight great clans witnessed another failure, and Ling Mou concluded that the Blazing Sun Continent must have hidden experts unknown to the Rogue Cultivator She Meng had captured.
• Yuan Zheng called on every clan to contribute its resources, promising that future spoils would be distributed according to each clan’s contribution.
• Ling Mou used the Formation Spirit Clan’s blood sacrifice technique to repair the star chart, but the fragment was knocked down again, prompting Yuan Zheng to suspect spying or a traitor.
• Ling Mou denied that a human spy could be among the Demon Race’s higher-ups.

Yuan Zheng failed to find a spy or other interference behind the repeated failures to repair the astrolabe, then proposed using the Demon Race’s forbidden Secret Art: Withering against the human formation expert. The Great Sage and the Dark Moon Clan learned of the plan through the Haotian Mirror and welcomed the demons’ offer.

• Yuan Zheng sent the clans away and searched for spies as Ling Mou repeatedly failed to repair the astrolabe, even when isolated from everyone else.
• Yuan Zheng apologized to the Demon Race leaders and asked how they could resume the repairs, while Ling Mou admitted the Formation Spirit Clan had no further solution.
• Yuan Zheng proposed Secret Art: Withering, and Wolf King Ming Han explained that the forbidden curse could weaken or kill its target at the cost of the caster’s strength.
• Yuan Zheng urged the clans to sacrifice powerful demons to curse whoever was undoing the repairs, promising compensation when they conquered the Blazing Sun Continent.
• The Great Sage and the Dark Moon Clan read the plan through the Haotian Mirror and eagerly anticipated facing Secret Art: Withering.

Yuan Zheng forced the Demon Race's smaller clans to provide experts to use Secret Art: Withering against Blazing Sun Continent. The Great Sage survived the attack and produced a crystal orb, which entered An Lan and helped An Lan break through.

• Yuan Zheng persuaded the eight great clans to make smaller clans provide experts for Secret Art: Withering, and the Slug Clan disappeared after objecting.
• The eight great clans chose Martial God-level experts, and Grand Elder Yuan Qi taught them Secret Art: Withering.
• At the Two Continents Passage, Ling Mou sent a star chart fragment carrying Secret Art: Withering to Blazing Sun Continent.
• The Great Sage struck down the fragment and was torn apart by the curse before coming back to life with a crystal orb beside him.
• An Lan grabbed the crystal orb, which entered An Lan's body and caused An Lan to break through.

The Vast Heaven Sect discovered that the Two Continents Passage purified the Demon Race’s Withering power into energy that could raise human cultivators’ cultivation. As the Demon Race continued using Withering, Elder He broke through to Half-Step Martial God, while Chu Xinghe stayed silent and expected the sect’s spending to benefit him.

• The Great Sage explained that Withering’s remaining power became pure energy after passing through the Two Continents Passage, and An Lan absorbed it to reach Half-Step Martial God.
• The Kun Clan’s grand elder reported that his curse had killed the human who damaged the astrolabe, so Yuan Zheng ordered Ling Mou to repair it and resume the invasion.
• The repaired astrolabe fragment was shot down again, and Ling Mou suggested that another human had acted under the formation master’s direction.
• Yuan Zheng and She Meng urged the Demon Race to keep using Withering, while Chu Xinghe chose to stay silent and wait for the sect to expend resources.
• The Kun Clan’s second elder used Withering, the Great Sage sacrificed himself again, and Elder He absorbed the resulting pure power to reach Half-Step Martial God.

As the Demon Race’s costly assault on the Two Continents Passage enriched the Vast Heaven Sect and raised its elders to new realms, Yuan Zheng brought out the God-Summoning Token to summon the Demon God’s avatar. Meanwhile, Xing Yushen broke through to the Martial God realm and vowed to reclaim everything the Cloud Firmament Sect had lost.

• She Meng persuaded Yuan Zheng to keep sending demon experts against the passage, while Chu Xinghe waited in vain for the Misfortune Compass to react.
• She Meng told Chu Xinghe that the demons’ losses had given the Vast Heaven Sect resources and power, elevating its elders to Half-Step Martial Gods and its chief elder to Martial God.
• Facing heavy demon losses and criticism, Yuan Zheng admitted his decision had been wrong but insisted the Demon Race still had to open the passage.
• Yuan Zheng revealed the Ape Clan’s God-Summoning Token, which could awaken a Demon God avatar rumored to have reached the Mystic God realm.
• Lightning gathered over the Cloud Firmament Sect as Xing Yushen shattered it, advanced to the Martial God realm, and vowed to take back everything the sect had lost.

After breaking through to the Martial God realm, Xing Yushen went to the Vast Heaven Sect to demand that Gu Mingchao answer for Elder Ling’s death. He was overwhelmed by the sect’s many powerful fighters and ended up registering at the mountain gate before he could make his demand.

• Xing Yushen reached the Martial God realm after surviving his grave injuries and resolved to reclaim what he had lost.
• Xing Yushen teleported to the Haotian Mountain Range, broke through the Vast Heaven Sect’s protective array, and challenged Gu Mingchao over Elder Ling’s death.
• Gu Mingchao appeared with a Dharma Aspect, and the Vast Heaven Sect’s chief elders and Dark Moon Clan members emerged with their own Dharma Aspects.
• The Great Sage revealed a Dharma Aspect that blotted out the sky, while the Vast Heaven Sect’s fighters surrounded Xing Yushen.
• The Grand Elder told Xing Yushen to register at the mountain gate, and Xing Yushen went there and needed a disciple’s help to write his name correctly.

Xing Yushen visited the Vast Heaven Sect after breaking through to the martial god realm, publicly recast his earlier threats as gratitude to Gu Mingchao, and insisted on keeping his promise to punish Ling Su. The Vast Heaven Sect’s overwhelming power became widely known, leaving the Cloud Firmament Sect and other factions eager to stay on good terms with it.

• Xing Yushen patiently registered at the Vast Heaven Sect, waited through its meeting, and praised the sect while he waited.
• Xing Yushen told the grand elder that Gu Mingchao had helped the Cloud Firmament Sect by dealing with Ling Su, then repeated the thanks at full volume when asked to clarify.
• The grand elder escorted Xing Yushen out and joked about his earlier threats, but Xing Yushen denied intending to demand blood for blood while insisting he would whip Ling Su’s corpse.
• After returning home, Xing Yushen had Ling Su’s remains dug up, whipped the corpse, and sent the Vast Heaven Sect a recording as proof he kept his word.
• Cloud Firmament Sect disciples realized Xing Yushen had acted out of fear of the Vast Heaven Sect’s many martial gods and the Great Sage, while other factions began treating the sect with greater caution.
• The chapter noted that the Star Moon Sect’s master had also become a martial god and had visited the Vast Heaven Sect with gifts after his breakthrough.

Yuan Zheng recruited Chu Xinghe, Ming Han, She Meng, and She Kui to enter Ghost Valley and awaken the Demon God's clone, concealing his plan to sacrifice them and claim the clone's power. Each of the others had their own scheme, and the Beast God revealed he intended to seize the clone too.

• Yuan Zheng asked Chu Xinghe to guide a trusted group through Ghost Valley to the center of Nether Lake, where the God-Summoning Token could awaken the Demon God's clone.
• Chu Xinghe agreed to help, then learned that Ming Han, She Meng, and She Kui would join them to provide strength and break the Demon God seals.
• After leaving Chu Xinghe, Yuan Zheng planned to extract Chu Xinghe's divine power, sacrifice Ming Han, feed the clone the Snake Clan leaders, and take the clone's power for himself.
• Ming Han, She Meng, and She Kui celebrated the chance to turn the tables on Yuan Zheng, while Chu Xinghe decided they should let misfortune handle him instead of acting against him.
• The Beast God planned to seize the Demon God's clone with his soul power and use it to escape, adding another hidden plot to the journey.

Chu Xinghe led Yuan Zheng and the others through Ghost Valley to the hidden chamber beneath Nether Lake, where Yuan Zheng used the God-Summoning Token to open the way to the Demon God's sealed avatar. The others mistook Chu Xinghe's restraint for foresight, while he trusted the Misfortune Compass to bring about Yuan Zheng's downfall without their interference.

• Chu Xinghe led Yuan Zheng, Ming Han, She Meng, and She Kui through Ghost Valley to Nether Lake.
• Yuan Zheng used the God-Summoning Token to reveal a path beneath the lake and guide the group to a sealed stone gate.
• She Meng and She Kui followed Yuan Zheng's instructions to remove the gate's remaining marks while Ming Han and the others waited for Chu Xinghe to signal an attack.
• The God-Summoning Token summoned a divine ape whose killing aura vanished after it inspected Yuan Zheng, and the stone gate opened.
• Ming Han, She Meng, and She Kui realized that attacking Yuan Zheng could have provoked the Demon God's divine sense, while Chu Xinghe resolved to let events unfold.

Yuan Zheng revealed that he had lured Chu Xinghe and the others into the Demon God Hall to use the Demon God's avatar to steal Chu Xinghe's Fox Clan divine power. The avatar instead began draining Chu Xinghe's misfortune, and the Beast God emerged to seize the avatar for himself.

• Yuan Zheng led the group into the Demon God Hall, where the God-Summoning Token revealed the throne made of ancient enemies' heads.
• Yuan Zheng used the Demon God's divine will to summon the avatar and trap Chu Xinghe in its light.
• Yuan Zheng explained that the avatar was made to steal the Fox Clan's divine power and declared that Chu Xinghe, Ming Han, She Meng, and She Kui would die.
• The avatar began absorbing Chu Xinghe's misfortune instead of the divine power Yuan Zheng wanted.
• The Beast God emerged from Chu Xinghe and enveloped the Demon God's avatar with his soul power, intending to take it over.

The Beast God’s attempt to take the Demon God’s avatar failed when it proved to be a soul body, and the avatar’s misfortune power overwhelmed it. Yuan Zheng absorbed the avatar and became a Mystic God, but the resulting lightning tribulation killed him; the surviving misfortune then took control of his Dharma Aspect and activated the Misfortune Compass.

• The Beast God tried to possess the Demon God’s avatar, but its misfortune power severely damaged his soul and caused the avatar to collapse.
• Yuan Zheng seized the collapsed avatar, absorbed its power, and advanced to the Mystic God realm as dark clouds gathered over Ghost Valley.
• Ming Han, She Meng, She Kui, and Chu Xinghe fled Ghost Valley while Yuan Zheng stayed behind to face the lightning tribulation.
• Seven rounds of eighty-one lightning bolts struck Yuan Zheng and devastated Ghost Valley, ultimately killing him.
• Yuan Zheng’s Dharma Aspect rose and flew away under the control of the misfortune power that remained after his death.
• The Misfortune Compass moved as the misfortune-controlled Dharma Aspect flew out of Ghost Valley.

Yuan Zheng’s lingering will drove the Demon God Avatar to slaughter the Ape Clan and spread destruction across the Demon Star Continent, while the lightning tribulations shattered Ghost Valley’s barrier and unleashed its ghosts. Chu Xinghe hid with the Fox Clan and Snake Clan in the far north, but the Misfortune Compass stopped moving despite the disasters around him.

• The Misfortune Compass swung erratically after Yuan Zheng seized the misfortune-tainted pure power and was struck down by lightning tribulations.
• The Demon God Avatar reached the Ape Clan, killed Great Elder Yuan Qi, and massacred the clan while shouting that Yuan Zheng would become supreme over the Demon Race.
• The Demon God Avatar razed the Ape Clan settlement and continued killing Demon Race experts who came to investigate.
• The lightning tribulations shattered Ghost Valley’s barrier, allowing countless ghosts to pour across the Demon Star Continent and attack its clans.
• News blamed Yuan Zheng for releasing the Demon God Avatar and breaking Ghost Valley’s seal, while Chu Xinghe sheltered with the Fox Clan and Snake Clan in the far north.
• Chu Xinghe watched the Misfortune Compass remain still despite the spreading destruction and wondered why it was targeting him.

Chu Xinghe watched the Demon God Avatar destroy clans across the Demon Star Continent and batter the Two Continents Passage, while the Blazing Sun Continent’s experts gathered to defend their homeland. As the Demon God Avatar began crossing over, the Haotian Sword Casket’s nine divine swords struck him back onto the Demon Star Continent.

• Chu Xinghe wondered why the Misfortune Compass remained still as the Demon God Avatar and the ghosts devastated the Demon Race, while the Wolf King sheltered refugees in the far north.
• The Demon God Avatar reached the Two Continents Passage and attacked its damaged barrier, driven by Yuan Zheng’s final obsession with invading the Blazing Sun Continent.
• The Vast Heaven Sect prepared to sacrifice its experts, and Cheng Xiaotian arrived with Martial Emperor City’s forces to join the defense.
• The ten great sects and the Demonic Sect gathered at the Sea of Deep Silence, ready to fight together against the Demon God Avatar.
• The barrier shattered, and the Demon God Avatar began crossing into the Blazing Sun Continent as the Great Sage and the Dark Moon Clan prepared to attack.
• The Haotian Sword Casket’s nine divine swords struck the Demon God Avatar’s head and blasted him back onto the Demon Star Continent.

Chu Xinghe used Ming Han’s power and his own life force to wield the Vast Heaven Sword and stop the Demon God’s avatar from entering the Blazing Sun Continent. After defeating the avatar and reclaiming the Misfortune Compass’s misfortune, he used his final power to drive the ghosts back to Ghost Valley, then collapsed as death approached.

• Chu Xinghe stopped Ming Han from fighting the Demon God’s avatar and used the Beast God’s soul to channel Ming Han’s power.
• Chu Xinghe sacrificed nearly all his life force, entered the Mystic God realm briefly, and awakened the Haotian Sword Casket’s tenth sword, the Vast Heaven Sword.
• Chu Xinghe’s sword strike forced the Demon God’s avatar back onto the Demon Star Continent, where he fought it with the nine swords and their powers.
• Chu Xinghe pierced the avatar with the Vast Heaven Sword and reclaimed the misfortune inside it, leaving the avatar as a sphere of pure Mystic God power.
• Chu Xinghe used Evil Repeller to command the ghosts to return to Ghost Valley, then exhausted his remaining power and faced death.

Chu Xinghe used the Evil Repeller to drive the ghosts back into Ghost Valley, then collapsed after burning through his life force. As the Vast Heaven Sect waited for his Power of Rebirth to save him, the pure Mystic God power from his battle entered Gu Mingchao through the Haotian Mirror and raised him to the Mystic God realm.

• Chu Xinghe used the Evil Repeller to force the ghosts back into Ghost Valley, then exhausted his life force and fell as the Vast Heaven Sect panicked.
• Gu Mingchao told the sect members to wait and see because Chu Xinghe had the Power of Rebirth, and he took the Haotian Mirror from Lu Chengqing.
• The pure Mystic God power abandoned Chu Xinghe's lifeless body, passed through the Haotian Mirror, and entered Gu Mingchao.
• The Mystic God power broke Gu Mingchao through the Half-Step Mystic God realm and into the Mystic God realm, triggering a lightning tribulation.
• Gu Mingchao endured one powerful lightning strike before the thunderclouds dispersed, then celebrated that he had told everyone to wait and see.

Gu Mingchao became a Mystic God after the power left by the Demon God chose him, while the Vast Heaven Sect elders mocked his claims that he had earned it or that Xinghe was his personal disciple. The sect traveled through the Two Continents Passage to the Demon Star Continent, where Xinghe revived and awoke among his family, and the Beast God fell asleep from exhaustion.

• Gu Mingchao celebrated becoming a Mystic God, and the Vast Heaven Sect elders rebuked him for taking power meant for Xinghe and claiming Xinghe as his personal disciple.
• After Lu Chengqing noticed Xinghe moving in the Haotian Mirror, Gu Mingchao carried the sect through the Two Continents Passage to the Demon Star Continent.
• The sect found Xinghe recovering in the Gobi, and its members welcomed him with cries of “Heaven bless Vast Heaven.”
• The Beast God lamented the toll of the battles and his role in Xinghe’s revival, then fell asleep to restore his weakened soul.
• Xinghe regained consciousness, heard the Voice of Vast Heaven and the sect’s cries, and realized he was home.

Chu Xinghe awoke to the Dark Moon Clan and Wolf King Ming Han fussing over him before the first formal Human-Demon meeting began at the Gobi. After Gu Mingchao killed the Ice Soul patriarch for attacking Chu Xinghe, the Fox Clan recognized him as their prophet regardless of his human identity and rallied to his side.

• Chu Xinghe awoke while the Grand Elder carried him, and the sect elders stuffed him with divine and supreme-grade pills.
• She Meng and She Kui paid respects to the Great Sage before Chu Xinghe, prompting the Dark Moon Clan to threaten them with being made into snake soup until Chu Xinghe intervened.
• Wolf King Ming Han offered his saliva as a remedy for Chu Xinghe, but Chu Xinghe resisted until the idea was dropped.
• At the Human-Demon meeting in the Gobi, Chu Xinghe's broken mask revealed he was human, and the Ice Soul patriarch accused him of deceiving the Demon clans.
• Gu Mingchao used his Mystic God power to crush the Ice Soul patriarch into snowflakes, terrifying the assembled Demons.
• Hu Shang and the Fox Clan declared that they obeyed only Prophet Xinghe and gathered around Chu Xinghe, accepting him as their prophet despite his human identity.
