Chapter Summaries

Yuan Ying delivered Zang Ling, a Heart-Devouring Evil Spirit whose power could help body cultivators produce Blood Spirit Stones, to the Vast Heaven Holy Land, and everyone interpreted it as another generous act for Chu Xinghe. The Holy Land thanked him, offered him thirty percent of the stones, and publicized an embellished account of his help, leaving the Three Continents stunned.

• Ma Liang explained that Zang Ling’s Heart-Devouring Power could clear body cultivators’ blockages and generate Blood Spirit Stones, making Yuan Ying’s delivery a great benefit to the Vast Heaven Holy Land.
• The Grand Elder thanked Yuan Ying and proposed giving him thirty percent of the Blood Spirit Stones produced in return.
• Yuan Ying privately despaired that his attempt to prove his innocence had made him look even more devoted to helping Chu Xinghe.
• Chu Xinghe wondered why Yuan Ying, whose clan he had wiped out, kept helping him and could not explain Yuan Ying’s latest gift.
• Gu Mingchao hosted Yuan Ying at a banquet and had Ma Liang announce his deeds to the Three Continents.
• Ma Liang embellished the announcement with Yuan Ying’s supposed declaration, “Help Xinghe or die!”, and sent it out with a banquet image of Yuan Ying and Gu Mingchao; the world was struck dumb.

Yuan Ying's attempts to prove his innocence convinced the Three Continents that he had defected to Chu Xinghe, and the Demonic Sect sent him into seclusion to keep him from helping the Vast Heaven Holy Land further. At the Holy Land, the awakened Zang Ling refused to reveal the Evil Spirit Clan's plans, so Elder He brought Ouyang Ling in to deal with him.

• Wu Xingyun, Tantai Jing, and the Three Continents interpreted Yuan Ying's cooperation with the Vast Heaven Holy Land as proof that he had betrayed the Demonic Sect, while rumors claimed Chu Xinghe had freed him from the Ape Clan.
• Yuan Ying returned to the Demonic Sect and tried to explain that his actions in Bin City and his delivery of the impostor to the Vast Heaven Holy Land had been meant to clear his name.
• Tantai Jing and Wu Xingyun remained convinced that Yuan Ying was Chu Xinghe's greatest bootlicker, and Wu Xingyun urged him to stay in seclusion as the Ape Clan sought to have him killed.
• Zang Ling awoke at the Vast Heaven Holy Land, where the disciples debated using him to produce Blood Spirit Stones and the sect hoped to learn the Evil Shadow Continent's plans from him.
• Zang Ling declared that he would never betray the Evil God, but Elder He introduced Ouyang Ling and invited Zang Ling to face her.

Zang Ling’s interrogation at Vast Heaven Holy Land ended with him revealing Evil Shadow Continent’s strength and plans after Ouyang Ling broke his resolve. The Three Continents learned they held the initiative for now, but the remaining evil lords would soon seek the Evil God’s relics.

• Shen Chun reported that Zang Ling had confessed everything, explaining that Ouyang Ling had continued questioning him because she suspected he was lying.
• Shen Chun recalled finding Zang Ling kowtowing and revealing embarrassing details about his master before he stopped Ouyang Ling from using dangerous medicines by invoking Chu Xinghe.
• Zang Ling entered Haotian Grand Hall, saluted everyone like a Vast Heaven Holy Land disciple, and gave a detailed account of Evil Shadow Continent.
• Zang Ling said the Nine Divisions of Evil Spirits had nine Half-Step Main God evil lords and dozens of Mystic Gods, while Evil Shadow Continent had retained much of its strength since the Four Continents shattered.
• Zang Ling explained that the Evil God’s Spirit Eye and Fang could open a passage to Evil Shadow Continent, and warned that the remaining evil lords would try to reclaim both relics.

Zang Ling cleared the blockages of Vast Heaven Holy Land’s Body Cultivators and produced a mountain of Blood Spirit Stones, prompting Ma Liang to offer the service to Body Cultivators across the world for free. Tantai Jing and Wu Xingyun shamed those who kept their stones, helping the Holy Land collect most of them while protecting the Demonic Sect’s share.

• Zang Ling volunteered to help the Vast Heaven Holy Land and used his Heart-Devouring Power to clear the blockages of its Body Cultivation disciples, producing a large quantity of Blood Spirit Stones.
• Ma Liang presented the Grand Elder with a plan to invite Body Cultivators from across the world for free treatment, and many agreed to leave their Blood Spirit Stones as thanks.
• Ma Liang let those who wanted to keep their stones take them, but Tantai Jing publicly condemned them for ingratitude.
• Wu Xingyun wrote a thirty-thousand-word denunciation and spread the message that ingratitude was shameful, while the Demonic Sect backed the campaign to protect its thirty-percent share of the stones.
• Most Body Cultivators left their Blood Spirit Stones behind, and the Grand Elder praised Ma Liang for anticipating that Tantai Jing and Wu Xingyun would help make the case.

Zang Ling’s blood spirit stones enriched the Vast Heaven Holy Land, but the Grand Elder’s decision to give Yuan Ying thirty percent triggered the Misfortune Compass to reward Chu Xinghe with a stable breakthrough. Chu Xinghe tested his increased Power of Fortune by combining eight swords, and his strike obliterated the entire trial grounds.

• Zang Ling continued producing blood spirit stones from Body Cultivators’ Qi-and-blood blockages, bringing the Vast Heaven Holy Land more wealth than the Fox Clan’s Blood Spirit Ore mine had yielded.
• The Misfortune Compass rapidly completed a revolution and raised Chu Xinghe’s cultivation close to the Peak of the Ninth Rank, converting his spiritual power into Power of Fortune.
• Chu Xinghe realized the reward came from the Grand Elder giving Yuan Ying thirty percent of the blood spirit stones, which the Misfortune Compass counted as a loss to the sect.
• Chu Xinghe went to the trial grounds and gathered eight divine swords around Thunder Shadow, using Flying Locust’s formation to amplify his power.
• Chu Xinghe unleashed “Eight Swords Converge! Purple Lightning Flash!” and the lightning dragon erased the training dummy, devastated the trial grounds, and left a vast blackened crater.

Chu Xinghe accidentally destroyed the trial grounds with a powerful breakthrough test, but the elders focused on his safety until Ma Liang found a hidden chest of cultivation manuscripts left by the tenth Great Emperor Haotian. The sect celebrated the discovery and credited Xinghe with bringing them good fortune, while the Grand Elder ordered the trial grounds rebuilt.

• Chu Xinghe used Eight Swords Converge and the Power of Fortune to unleash a strike that destroyed the trial grounds.
• The elders rushed to check Chu Xinghe and celebrated his breakthrough, ignoring his repeated attempts to point out the destruction.
• The Grand Elder scolded Chu Xinghe for breaking through without telling anyone, and Feng Fei, Shen Chun, and the disciples also lectured him about being careless.
• Ma Liang found a chest bearing the Haotian Token emblem in the crater, and the Grand Elder opened it to reveal the tenth Great Emperor Haotian's improved cultivation manuscripts.
• The palace chiefs took the manuscripts to improve their techniques, while Gu Mingchao led the sect in honoring their ancestor and praising Xinghe.
• The Grand Elder ordered the Civil Engineering Department disciples to rebuild the trial grounds.

Chu Xinghe destroyed the Vast Heaven Holy Land’s trial ground with Thunder Dragon Destroys the World, then found a manuscript buried beneath it and abandoned plans to blow up more grounds. Meanwhile, the Heart-Devouring Evil Lord revealed that Zang Ling had been missing for five days, and the Nine Divisions of Evil Spirits erupted into battle.

• Chu Xinghe considered destroying the Holy Land’s trial grounds to force costly rebuilds, but Thunder Dragon Destroys the World uncovered a manuscript from the tenth-generation ancestor and made him fear uncovering hidden treasures.
• Zang Ling tirelessly used Heart-Devouring Power to clear visiting Body Cultivation practitioners’ blockages and turn their Qi and Blood into Blood Spirit Stones, while Ouyang Ling kept him in line.
• Chu Xinghe fled to the ninth floor of the Technique Repository Tower to enter seclusion after seeing the sect prosper from Zang Ling’s work.
• The Heart-Devouring Evil Lord admitted that Zang Ling had failed to report back for five days, alarming the Nine Divisions of Evil Spirits.
• The Heavenly Secrets Evil Lord taunted the Heart-Devouring Evil Lord about losing contact with Zang Ling, and their divisions immediately began fighting as the other evil spirits took sides.

The Nine Divisions of Evil Spirits nearly turned their meeting about Zang Ling’s disappearance into a battle, but the White Spirit Evil Lord stopped them and helped locate the Evil God’s Fang. The image showed Zang Ling cheerfully helping Body Cultivators in the Vast Heaven Holy Land, leaving the Evil Lords baffled as the Nightmare Evil Spirits volunteered to investigate.

• The Heart-Devouring Evil Lord and the Heavenly Secrets Evil Lord began fighting, and the White Spirit Evil Lord sealed everyone’s power to stop the clash from spreading.
• The White Spirit Evil Lord ordered the Heart-Devouring Evil Lord to investigate Zang Ling’s fate, and the Heart-Devouring Evil Lord borrowed the seven available Evil God Relics to locate the Evil God’s Fang.
• The Evil God Relics showed Zang Ling unharmed in the Vast Heaven Holy Land, using the Evil God’s Fang to help Body Cultivators clear blockages and make Blood Spirit Stones.
• The Heavenly Secrets Evil Lord suggested that Zang Ling had surrendered, and the other Evil Lords looked to the Heart-Devouring Evil Lord for an explanation he could not give.
• The Nightmare Evil Spirits proposed traveling to the Three Continents to investigate what had happened to Zang Ling.

The Nightmare Evil Lord explained the Nightmare Evil Spirits’ terrifying dream powers and sent Meng You to the Three Continents to seize two Evil God relics from the Vast Heaven Holy Land. He left Meng You with strict orders to trap the holy land’s leaders, avoid killing anyone, and flee immediately after obtaining the relics.

• The chapter described how Nightmare Evil Spirits could enter dreams and trap even powerful beings, though using their killing technique consumed vast mental power.
• The Nightmare Evil Lord presented his offspring, Meng You, and planned to send him through a passage to the Three Continents with the Evil God's Bone Flute.
• The Nightmare Evil Lord ordered Meng You to trap Gu Mingchao, Chu Xinghe, and other Vast Heaven Holy Land leaders, then take the Evil God's Spirit Eye and Evil God's Fang without killing anyone.
• The Nightmare Evil Lord repeatedly warned Meng You to flee if his first strike failed and not to linger or pursue Chu Xinghe.
• The Nightmare Evil Lord opened the passage, and the Evil God's Bone Flute carried Meng You into the black hole toward the Three Continents.

Meng You used Dream Entry to investigate Chu Xinghe by entering the dreams of Vast Heaven Holy Land stewards in Luo City. Their dreams portrayed Chu Xinghe as an extraordinary bringer of fortune, leaving Meng You baffled as he continued toward the holy land to learn more.

• Meng You entered Luo City through the dreams of its sleeping gate guards and reached the dream of a Vast Heaven Holy Land steward.
• Meng You took Chu Xinghe's form in the steward's dream and questioned Yang Zhagen, who described Chu Xinghe as a source of immense fortune for the holy land.
• Meng You found a second steward, Li Feng, dreaming eagerly of Chu Xinghe's arrival and hoping to receive his guidance.
• Meng You left both stewards' dreams, and they woke disappointed that Chu Xinghe's visit had only been a dream.
• Meng You headed toward the Vast Heaven Holy Land, determined to discover why its stewards revered Chu Xinghe so completely.

Meng You reached the Haotian Mountain Range to investigate Chu Xinghe, but discovered strange dreams and an overwhelming mental presence in the Vast Heaven Holy Land. After Meng You reported the presence to the Nightmare Evil Lord, his master dismissed it as an illusion from a protective treasure and insisted that no person could possess such mental strength.

• Over five days, Meng You entered people's dreams and found that many dreamed of Chu Xinghe, either worshipping him or seeking to surpass him.
• At the Haotian Mountain Range, Meng You saw red dreams he could neither enter nor contact, while Azure Dragon and Civil Engineering Department disciples worked in a half-asleep state they called "slacking off with the soul."
• When Meng You tried to enter an accessible dream, a terrifying force crushed his attempt and drove him out of the mountain range.
• Outside the range, Meng You saw the Four Holy Beasts Grand Formation but realized the force that had repelled him was immense mental power, apparently coming from the outer sect.
• Meng You contacted the Nightmare Evil Lord with the Evil God's Bone Flute and described the unknown being's power.
• The Nightmare Evil Lord rejected Meng You's account as likely an illusion caused by a supreme treasure and declared that no person could endure enough hardship to develop such mental strength.

Meng You followed the Nightmare Evil Lord’s orders and spread the sleeping curse across the Demon Star Continent, trapping people in dreams. After five cities were affected, Wolf King Ming Han recognized the Nightmare Evil Spirits’ work and rushed to the Vast Heaven Holy Land.

• The Nightmare Evil Lord forbade Meng You from attacking the Vast Heaven Holy Land again and told him to take people hostage in other regions instead.
• Meng You traveled to the Demon Star Continent and used the Nightmare Technique to make sleepers in Demon Spirit Ancient City impossible to awaken.
• Zhao Daheng found his team and nearly everyone else in the city trapped in sleep, but he stayed behind to protect his teammates.
• After five days without sleep, Zhao Daheng collapsed and found himself in a pitch-black world with his trapped teammates.
• The sleeping curse struck five cities on the Demon Star Continent, and Wolf King Ming Han identified the Nightmare Evil Spirits as responsible and set out for the Vast Heaven Holy Land.

The Vast Heaven Holy Land learned that Meng You, the Nightmare Evil Spirits’ Holy Spirit, had trapped people across the Demon Star Continent in dreams and demanded the return of the Evil God Relics. With no one present able to enter dreams, Chu Xinghe thought of Brother Tantai as their possible answer.

• The Wolf King reported that Nightmare Power had put people in nearly ten Demon Star Continent cities to sleep, and Elder He explained that the Nightmare Evil Spirits could hide inside unbroken dreams.
• Zang Ling told Gu Mingchao and the elders that Meng You was behind the attacks and that his victims risked dying if their bodies deteriorated while trapped.
• Zang Ling said Meng You could be defeated only by someone with greater mental power who knew a Dream Entry technique, but the Great Sage lacked that technique.
• A sleepwalking man delivered Meng You’s threat to sweep across the Three Continents unless the Evil Spirit Clan’s Evil God Relics were returned, then fell asleep again.
• The great elder refused to return the relics, though he worried about the people trapped in dreams, and Chu Xinghe thought of Brother Tantai as someone who could use Dream Entry.

As the Three Continents struggled to stop Meng You from expanding his Nightmare Realm, Chu Xinghe revealed Tantai Jing’s Dream Entry feats and accidentally made him famous across the Three Continents. Tantai Jing announced that he would confront Meng You on the Demon Star Continent and threatened to punish the whole Three Continents if he failed to return.

• The factions of the Three Continents refused to return the Evil God Relics but could not find anyone capable of entering Meng You’s Nightmare Realm.
• Chu Xinghe told the gathered leaders about Tantai Jing’s Dream Entry, prompting the story of the Undead Knight to spread across the Three Continents.
• People across the Three Continents praised Tantai Jing as the most formidable and ruthless figure, while the Demonic Sect of the Spirit Beast Continent admitted it could not compare with his brutality.
• Chu Xinghe and Zheng Yu’s companions publicized Tantai Jing’s battle against the undead in the Ten Thousand Ghosts Grand Formation, adding to his growing fame.
• Tantai Jing declared that he would go to the Demon Star Continent to fight Meng You and threatened that there would be no innocent souls in the Three Continents if he did not return alive.

Tantai Jing entered the Nightmare Realm in Demon Spirit Ancient City and fought Meng You, matching the Nightmare Evil Spirit’s powerful dream magic with his own spiritual power. Just as Meng You tried to trap him and escape, Tantai Jing’s Purple Lightning Flash struck and shattered Meng You’s demon form, shaking the Nightmare Realm and waking some of its captives.

• Tantai Jing arrived at Demon Spirit Ancient City and used his Dream Entry technique to open a breach into the Nightmare Realm, revealing the trapped people inside.
• Meng You emerged in the dream and confronted Tantai Jing, who immediately summoned an undead formation to attack him.
• Meng You engulfed the undead in flames, but Tantai Jing created an ocean to extinguish them, and the two fought with enormous spiritual-power manifestations.
• Meng You formed a trapping formation so he could flee, but Tantai Jing summoned Thunder Shadow with Haotian Sword Casket: Purple Lightning Flash.
• Tantai Jing’s lightning struck Meng You, shattered his demon form, and shook the Nightmare Realm so violently that some captives woke up.

Tantai Jing wounded Meng You with a mimicked Purple Lightning Flash, but the attack exhausted his mental strength and forced him out of the Nightmare Realm. Meng You stabilized the realm and threatened the Three Continents, demanding the Evil God's Spirit Eye and the Evil God's Fang while his enemies had no way to reach him.

• As Meng You's Nightmare Realm cracked, trapped people near the cracks awakened, while Tantai Jing's Purple Lightning Flash gravely wounded Meng You and drained all of Tantai Jing's mental strength.
• Tantai Jing was expelled from the Nightmare Realm, and Meng You repaired its cracks, leaving most of the people trapped inside.
• Elder He explained that mimicking Thunder Shadow and Purple Lightning Flash had consumed Tantai Jing's strength, while Chu Xinghe could draw on the real Haotian Sword Casket and Thunder Shadow.
• The Three Continents' leaders realized Meng You remained protected inside the Nightmare Realm and that neither they nor Chu Xinghe had a way to dispel it.
• Meng You used a sleepwalking person to threaten the Three Continents, demanding the Evil God's Spirit Eye and the Evil God's Fang, and the leaders fell silent.

With Meng You's Nightmare Realm trapping people across the Demon Star Continent, the gathered leaders debated how to save them without surrendering the Evil God Relics. They turned to Chu Xinghe's supposed Star Divination Art for an answer, but Hua Xichen said only Xinghe could overcome the obscured heavenly secrets, leaving Xinghe pressured to perform a technique he insisted he did not possess.

• Elder He warned that people trapped in Meng You's Nightmare Realm could die if they remained there too long, while Wu Xingyun explained that the Great Sage could not learn the Dream Entry technique quickly enough to help.
• The Wolf King asked the Holy Lord to trade the Evil God's Fang and Evil God's Spirit Eye for the Demon Star Continent's people, but Clan Head Hua and others argued that surrendering the relics would endanger all Three Continents.
• Zheng Yu urged Chu Xinghe to use the Star Divination Art to find a way forward, and the leaders summoned Hua Xichen to combine it with the Great Prophecy Art.
• Hua Xichen revealed that his prophecies were chaotic because the Heavenly Secrets Evil Lord had obscured the future, and said Chu Xinghe's Star Divination Art was the only means to break through it.
• Chu Xinghe denied having the Star Divination Art and begged the leaders not to rely on a false promise, despite their expectations.

Chu Xinghe insisted that his claim about winning by doing nothing was nonsense, but Hua Xichen’s Great Prophecy Art confirmed he was right. Hua then used Sage's Descent and revealed a prophecy that the Nightmare Evil Spirits would be wiped out, leaving the assembled experts and Chu Xinghe stunned.

• Chu Xinghe tried to explain that he had been joking when he said everyone could lie down and win.
• Hua Xichen used the Great Prophecy Art and announced that the shroud over the secrets of heaven had disappeared.
• Hua Xichen said the Great Prophecy Art confirmed Chu Xinghe was right, shocking the gathered experts.
• Hua Xichen used Sage's Descent and showed everyone the divine script: “The Nightmare Evil Spirits will be wiped out!”
• The experts questioned how the Nightmare Evil Spirits could be destroyed when the Nightmare Evil Lord was a Half-Step Main God who had not even come to the Three Continents.

Chu Xinghe and Hua Xichen doubted the prophecy that the Nightmare Evil Spirits would be wiped out, while the leaders searched for a way to stop Meng You and rescue the people trapped in his Nightmare Realm. Meng You expanded the realm across the Demon Star Continent and targeted the now-powerful Fox Clan at Divine Fox Ridge.

• Chu Xinghe, Hua Xichen, and Clan Head Hua agreed to set aside the prophecy that the Nightmare Evil Spirits would be wiped out and discussed how to protect the Evil God Relics and rescue the captives.
• Meng You decided the Three Continents had no powerful spiritual expert who could stop him and unleashed the Evil God's Bone Flute to expand his Nightmare Realm.
• Meng You trapped a million beings from multiple Demon Race clans and cities in the Nightmare Realm to pressure the Three Continents into surrendering the Evil God Relics.
• Meng You spread his Nightmare Realm into Divine Fox Ridge, where the Fox Clan had risen to become one of the Demon Star Continent's strongest clans under Prophet Chu Xinghe's influence.

The Fox Clan rose to power under Hu Shang through trade, the Art of Charm, and the backing of the Vast Heaven Holy Land. Meng You trapped sleeping Fox Clan members in his Nightmare Realm to force Chu Xinghe to surrender two Evil God Relics, but he was suddenly pulled into a room and heard someone call him Xiao Cui'er.

• Hu Shang secured the Vast Heaven Holy Land's Demon Star Continent business for the Fox Clan, which soon controlled a large share of trade and gained influence under the Wolf King.
• Meng You learned about the Fox Clan's rise and brought his Nightmare Realm to Divine Fox Ridge, waiting for the clan to fall asleep.
• Meng You pulled large numbers of sleeping or meditating Fox Clan members into the Nightmare Realm and planned to use them to pressure Chu Xinghe into surrendering two Evil God Relics.
• As Meng You unleashed terrifying scenes upon the captives, the Fox Clan members vanished and Meng You found himself trapped in a room.
• Meng You tried to use the Evil God's Bone Flute to escape, but a voice behind him called, "Xiao Cui'er... you finally came into my dream."
