Chapter Summaries

Fuxi left Buzhou Mountain with Yang Jian, Nezha, and Sun Wukong just before a rampaging Great Dao Sage-level Ferocious Beast God attacked it. He discovered that others had deliberately unleashed the beast to flush him out, then approached their gathering while his companions hid.

• Fuxi left the remaining Pangu Jade Marrow in Buzhou Mountain and led Yang Jian, Nezha, and Sun Wukong through the River of Time back to the Taishi Continent.
• The four saw a Ferocious Beast God resembling Qiongqi attack Buzhou Mountain with the authority of calamity, and Fuxi realized his earlier warning had kept them from danger.
• Fuxi overheard people asking why he was not on Buzhou Mountain and understood that the beast had been sent after him.
• Fuxi told Yang Jian, Nezha, and Sun Wukong to conceal themselves by the River of Time, then went toward the plotters' valley.
• Old Man Blood Sea questioned Daoist Cangyu about Fuxi's whereabouts, and Daoist Cangyu began divining for him.

Fuxi used Dao Yi Dao Ancestor’s authority to wipe out the anti-Fuxi alliance and seized their treasures, including Eternal Azure Sky, a Single Feather. After using it to uncover Hongzhuo Heavenly Venerable and Old Man Letian’s schemes, he activated a formation at Buzhou Mountain, where the two were still searching for him.

• Daoist Cangyu used Eternal Azure Sky, a Single Feather, to deduce Fuxi’s location, prompting Fuxi to act.
• Fuxi summoned Dao Yi Dao Ancestor’s Dao Fruit projection to destroy the anti-Fuxi alliance members in the valley, while black threads erased their fleeing Dao Fruits and true spirits.
• Fuxi collected nearly twenty Innate Supreme Treasures and cleansed Eternal Azure Sky, a Single Feather of Daoist Cangyu’s lingering Dao Rhymes.
• Fuxi used the treasure and the Primordial Eight Trigrams Divine Ability to uncover Hongzhuo Heavenly Venerable and Old Man Letian’s plots against him.
• Fuxi activated the Dao Patterns in Buzhou Mountain, raising mist across the mountain as Hongzhuo Heavenly Venerable and Old Man Letian searched for him instead of fleeing.

Fuxi used Buzhou Mountain’s baleful Qi and a formation to trap Hongzhuo Heavenly Venerable and Old Man Letian with Most Evil Qiongqi. As they struggled to escape, Fuxi went to unleash Most Evil Taotie, while the trapped pair realized they could neither find the formation’s foundation nor destroy the mountain alone.

• Fuxi released Buzhou Mountain’s baleful Qi, driving Most Evil Qiongqi fully under its control; Qiongqi bit off Old Man Letian’s right arm.
• Hongzhuo Heavenly Venerable and Old Man Letian tried to flee, but Fuxi’s formation forced them back and left them trapped inside Buzhou Mountain with Qiongqi.
• Fuxi watched the pair use their many Innate Supreme Treasures to keep Qiongqi at bay, then altered Buzhou Mountain’s terrain to favor Qiongqi.
• Fuxi headed to the location of Most Evil Taotie, intending to unleash the Ferocious Beast God against Hongzhuo Heavenly Venerable and Old Man Letian.
• Hongzhuo Heavenly Venerable and Old Man Letian realized Fuxi had already left Buzhou Mountain, but they could not find the formation’s foundation or break through while one of them kept Qiongqi occupied.

Fuxi trapped Hongzhuo Heavenly Venerable and Old Man Letian with another Ferocious Beast God at Buzhou Mountain, then went to Blood Valley to eliminate their followers. He killed the Origin Great World's Sages there, while the Slaughter Ranking began to flicker before the two trapped men.

• Fuxi bound Hongzhuo Heavenly Venerable and Old Man Letian with his Dao Patterns, then released them and drew another Ferocious Beast God toward them.
• Fuxi sent Yang Jian, Nezha, and Sun Wukong to cultivate in the main channel of the River of Time before heading to Blood Valley.
• Fuxi found the Origin Great World's Sages in Blood Valley using an array to contact Hongzhuo Heavenly Venerable and Old Man Letian, whose battle at Buzhou Mountain had gained Dao-Union Sage reinforcements.
• Fuxi summoned Dao Yi Dao Ancestor and Guixu Dao Ancestor's Dao Fruit projections and killed the Hunyuan Realm experts from the Origin Great World.
• Hongzhuo Heavenly Venerable and Old Man Letian realized their followers and disciples had been killed when the array connection failed, and the Slaughter Ranking began to flicker.

Fuxi revealed the Primordial Eight Trigrams’ ability to swap positions and turned Hongzhuo Heavenly Venerable and Old Man Letian’s attacks against them. As Most Evil Qiongqi and Most Evil Taotie devoured their weapons, Hongzhuo urged Letian to use his own authority.

• Hongzhuo Heavenly Venerable and Old Man Letian saw Fuxi take first place on the Slaughter Ranking with four hundred and four points and realized he had killed their disciples and juniors.
• Fuxi appeared above Buzhou Mountain, and Hongzhuo and Letian charged at him.
• Fuxi swapped places with Most Evil Qiongqi, causing Hongzhuo to collide with the beast and lose an arm and his Flesh-Rotting Sword.
• Fuxi swapped places with Most Evil Taotie, causing Letian to strike the beast with his Myriad Flower Basket, which Taotie swallowed.
• Fuxi explained that the Primordial Eight Trigrams could manipulate fate through position swaps, then redirected Letian’s Innate Supreme Treasures into Most Evil Taotie’s mouth.
• Hongzhuo shouted at Letian to stop using magic treasures and wield his own authority.

Fuxi used the Primordial Eight Trigrams and his other abilities to outmaneuver Hongzhuo Heavenly Venerable and Old Man Letian while fighting Most Evil Qiongqi and Most Evil Taotie. As the Dao-Union Sages tried to flee, Fuxi activated Buzhou Mountain’s formations and trapped them behind its barrier.

• Old Man Letian used Sound Authority to escape Most Evil Qiongqi’s attack, while Hongzhuo Heavenly Venerable used his Authority Dao Fruit to inflict mutations that Most Evil Qiongqi expelled.
• Hongzhuo Heavenly Venerable charged Fuxi, but Fuxi used Position-Shadow Swap to make Most Evil Qiongqi take his place, then Old Man Letian sealed the battlefield to suppress the Primordial Eight Trigrams.
• Fuxi used his deductions to bind Old Man Letian with Dao Patterns chains and send him toward Most Evil Taotie, then struck him with the Fuxi Qin after he escaped.
• Hongzhuo Heavenly Venerable urged the Dao-Union Sages to help, but they fled after realizing Fuxi had the advantage.
• Fuxi activated Buzhou Mountain’s formations, and the fleeing Dao-Union Sages crashed into the barrier.

Fuxi subdued Old Man Letian and drove Most Evil Taotie out of Buzhou Mountain while using Most Evil Qiongqi to exhaust Hongzhuo Heavenly Venerable’s power. Hongzhuo Heavenly Venerable surrendered his reason to the Flesh Authority, and his name vanished from the Slaughter Ranking.

• Fuxi used the Flesh Authority to turn the charging Dao-Union Sages into Flesh Monsters and seized Old Man Letian’s moment of shock to trap him in the Fuxi Qin’s formations.
• Fuxi sent Most Evil Taotie out of Buzhou Mountain and injured it with two Innate Supreme Treasures, forcing it to flee.
• Fuxi returned to Hongzhuo Heavenly Venerable and switched places with Most Evil Qiongqi, which tore off Hongzhuo Heavenly Venerable’s arm as their Authorities clashed.
• Hongzhuo Heavenly Venerable realized that he had lost, fused his true spirit with the Flesh Authority, and became its puppet.
• The Slaughter Ranking lit up, and Hongzhuo Heavenly Venerable’s name faded from it.

Fuxi watched Hongzhuo Heavenly Venerable become a puppet of Flesh Authority and battle Most Evil Qiongqi, while he counted the rewards from the scheme and began refining Old Man Letian with the Fuxi Qin. Across the Taishi Continent, cultivators reacted in shock as the Slaughter Ranking showed Hongzhuo Heavenly Venerable’s name disappear beneath Fuxi’s rising score.

• Hongzhuo Heavenly Venerable transformed completely into the Authority of the Dao of Flesh, then used a powerful Divine Ability to shatter Most Evil Qiongqi’s body.
• Most Evil Qiongqi’s fangs struck Hongzhuo Heavenly Venerable, and their clashing Authorities formed a separate Dao domain where they fought to the death.
• Fuxi assessed his gains, including over a hundred Innate Supreme Treasures, and began directing the Fuxi Qin to refine Old Man Letian.
• Cultivators across the Taishi Continent saw Fuxi’s Slaughter Ranking score rise and reacted with disbelief when Hongzhuo Heavenly Venerable’s name vanished.

After Fuxi killed Hongzhuo Heavenly Venerable, Dao Yi Dao Ancestor and Guixu Dao Ancestor decided not to provoke him, while six newly advanced Great Dao Sages feared they might be next. The six gathered at the Northern Heavenly Pillar to discuss how to deal with Fuxi.

• Fuxi's killings prompted some survivors of the Taishi Continent's conflicts to search for him, hoping to seek refuge.
• Dao Yi Dao Ancestor marveled at Fuxi's power, while Guixu Dao Ancestor urged avoiding conflict and suggested they could someday trade for the Hongmeng Scripture.
• The six newly advanced Great Dao Sages—Saint Envoy Yangyan, Star Lord Xiuzhu, Star Lord Yuquan, Venerable Ziming, Great King Pengtian, and Great Sage Mingxu—became alarmed by Fuxi's reputation and joined forces.
• The six gathered at the Northern Heavenly Pillar, a hundred years after the Hongmeng God Ranking's entrants had arrived on the Taishi Continent.

Saint Envoy Yangyan gathered five other Slaughter Ranking cultivators to discuss Holy Emperor Fuxi’s suspected purge, and Venerable Ziming persuaded them to search the Taishi Continent’s heavenly pillars for treasures. Meanwhile, Fuxi waited inside Buzhou Mountain for the battle between Hongzhuo Heavenly Venerable and Most Evil Qiongqi to end so he could claim the spoils.

• Saint Envoy Yangyan warned that Holy Emperor Fuxi was clearing the Slaughter Ranking and would eventually target everyone at the gathering.
• Venerable Ziming revealed that he wielded the Wisdom Great Dao Authority, prompting Great King Pengtian, Star Lord Yuquan, Star Lord Xiuzhu, and Great Sage Mingxu to seek his advice.
• Venerable Ziming proposed that the six cultivators search the heavenly pillars for treasures that could help them face Fuxi, and the others agreed.
• Inside Buzhou Mountain, Fuxi watched the two-colored Dao Domain contract as the battle between Hongzhuo Heavenly Venerable and Most Evil Qiongqi neared its end.

Fuxi discovered that the fall of powerful beings created Authority Treasures capable of guiding their holders toward the Great Dao Sage realm, but also drawing them into slaughter. He strengthened Yang Jian, Sun Wukong, and Nezha, and Sun Wukong received four Authority Treasures as he became a Sage.

• Fuxi refined the blood-red remnant of Hongzhuo Heavenly Venerable until Hongzhuo’s presence vanished and nine Authority Treasures of the Flesh-and-Blood Great Dao formed.
• Fuxi found nine bone bells among the ruins and recognized them as Authority Treasures of the Calamity Dao, then concluded that these treasures were fueling the rise of Great Dao Sages.
• Fuxi summoned Yang Jian, Sun Wukong, and Nezha, gave each two Innate supreme treasures, and had them consume Most Evil Qiongqi’s flesh and blood.
• Yang Jian, Sun Wukong, and Nezha advanced to the Primordial Unity Realm and became Sages, while four Authority Treasures of earth, wind, water, and fire appeared when Sun Wukong ascended.
• Fuxi warned Sun Wukong that the Authority Treasures could lead him into a calamity of slaughter, but said his Great Sage Law could also bring him to the Great Dao Sage realm without them.

Fuxi searched the Taishi Continent for Ferocious Beast Gods who could yield Authority Treasures and discovered a gathering of intelligent Fierce Beasts whose forms and Dao Rhymes matched legends from the Primordial World. He learned that Beast Emperor Tian Ni had issued a pilgrimage edict, while the gathered beasts debated whether to obey.

• Fuxi left Yang Jian, Nezha, and Sun Wukong to cultivate with Qiongqi God's flesh and went searching for information about Ferocious Beast Gods.
• Fuxi found twelve Fierce Beasts holding a meeting in a valley and recognized Fei, Feiyi, and two beasts named Feifei from Primordial World legends.
• Fuxi wondered whether the Great Dao had reproduced the Primordial World's Ferocious Beast Calamity on the Taishi Continent.
• Fei told the gathered beasts that Beast Emperor Tian Ni had been born and ordered Fierce Beasts with Authority Treasures to pilgrimage to the Central Heavenly Pillar.
• Feifei and another Fierce Beast rejected the pilgrimage, arguing that Tian Ni had only just been born and the Ancestors of the Four Fierce Beasts had been born earlier.

Fuxi learned that the Taishi Continent’s Fierce Beast calamity mirrored the ancient calamity in the Primordial World, but its Four Fierce Beasts had distinct bodies and duties tied to the Four Heavenly Pillars. After concealing himself from the approaching Qiongqi Ancestor, Fuxi watched the ancestor’s arrival throw the gathered Fierce Beasts into panic.

• Feifei and the other Fierce Beasts argued over whether to obey Beast Emperor Tian Ni’s Pilgrimage Edict, while Fuxi listened and connected Tian Ni’s rise to Beast Emperor Shen Ni’s history.
• Fuxi decided to head toward Central Province and deduced that the Taishi Continent’s Four Fierce Beasts guarded the Four Heavenly Pillars through their benevolent true bodies, while their malevolent selves roamed the land.
• Fuxi realized that the dead Most Evil Qiongqi’s counterpart, the Qiongqi Ancestor, had descended from the Heavenly Pillar and was approaching the valley.
• Fuxi concealed his presence and the Calamity Authority Treasures, causing the Qiongqi Ancestor to lose track of him and continue toward the valley.
• The Qiongqi Ancestor’s Great Dao Sage Realm presence erupted near the valley, and Feifei and the other Fierce Beasts panicked, believing Qiongqi God had arrived.

Qiongqi summoned the western fierce beasts to spread word of a meeting with Tian Ni and the other Four Fierce Beasts to discuss the outsiders on the Taishi Continent. Fuxi suspected the gathering marked a break from the ancient course, while the Chaos God wondered whether Qiongqi intended to attack Tian Ni.

• Fei tried to calm the gathered beasts as Qiongqi's oppressive Authority approached, but the twelve fierce beasts remained terrified.
• Qiongqi asked why the beasts had gathered, and Fei flattered him and claimed they had assembled to pay their respects.
• Qiongqi said Tian Ni's message suited his plans and ordered the beasts to announce a meeting atop the Central Heavenly Pillar about dealing with the outsiders.
• After Qiongqi left, the beasts speculated about his motives, and Fuxi revealed himself and resolved to proceed cautiously.
• The beasts spread news of the meeting throughout the Taishi Continent, making Qiongqi the focus of attention.
• At the Eastern Heavenly Pillar, the Chaos God suspected Qiongqi's plan was a pretext to make a move against Tian Ni.

Qiongqi Ancestor’s invitation drew Chaos God, Taowu God, and Most Evil Taotie toward the Central Heavenly Pillar, while Fuxi continued gathering resources with Yang Jian, Nezha, and Sun Wukong. After finding the Star Ridge Grotto, Fuxi led them inside to claim its opportunities and study its formations.

• Chaos God headed for the Central Heavenly Pillar to watch the spectacle, and Taowu God went there eager to join a fight against Tian Ni.
• Most Evil Taotie sent his beasts to the Central Heavenly Pillar and ordered Qin Yuan to find Fuxi and deliver a message without provoking him.
• Fuxi used his calculations to locate the Star Ridge Grotto, where ambushers had killed cultivators from the Stars Great World and left its opportunities untouched.
• Fuxi instructed Yang Jian, Nezha, and Sun Wukong to study the grotto’s formations, then led them inside.
• Fuxi judged that the grotto’s formations could not harm him, even if they were all activated.

Fuxi captured six ambushers in Star Ridge Grotto and sent Yang Jian, Nezha, and Sun Wukong to fight them while he studied the grotto’s formations. Meanwhile, the Qiongqi Ancestor’s party endured Beast Emperor Tian Ni’s attacks in Central Province, but the Ancestor remained focused on finding Most Evil Qiongqi’s killer and reclaiming the Calamity authority.

• Fuxi reversed time to locate the ambushers, then trapped six Dao-Union Sages in Chaos Divine Water.
• Fuxi ordered Yang Jian, Nezha, and Sun Wukong to fight the six in the water and draw out the power of their recently refined treasures and Qiongqi flesh.
• Fuxi began studying how Star Ridge Grotto’s separate formations worked together so he could create a powerful Formation Diagram.
• Beast Emperor Tian Ni sent repeated attacks against the Qiongqi Ancestor’s group after they entered Central Province.
• Fei, Feiyi, and the other fierce beasts urged the Qiongqi Ancestor to wage war on Tian Ni, but he refused to commit to a civil war before returning to the Western Continent.
• The Qiongqi Ancestor resolved to find Most Evil Qiongqi’s killer and reclaim the Calamity authority.

The Qiongqi Ancestor reached the Central Heavenly Pillar and found Beast Emperor Tian Ni battling the Taowu Ancestor and the Chaos Ancestor while Most Evil Taotie watched. Elsewhere, Venerable Ziming and the other newly ascended Great Dao Sages discovered the Northern Pole Black Emperor Banner and agreed to let him wield it.

• The Qiongqi Ancestor sensed four Great Dao Sage presences at the Central Heavenly Pillar and hurried there with Feifei and the others.
• Beast Emperor Tian Ni fought the Taowu Ancestor and the Chaos Ancestor while Most Evil Taotie watched without intervening.
• Most Evil Taotie recognized the Qiongqi Ancestor and learned that Most Evil Qiongqi had fallen, then considered offering him to Fuxi.
• The Qiongqi Ancestor declined to join the battle, and he and the other Fierce Beasts waited nearby.
• Venerable Ziming and five other newly ascended Great Dao Sages found the Northern Pole Black Emperor Banner and learned it was one of six components of the Taishi Five Directions Imperial Supreme Formation.
• Saint Envoy Yangyan and the others agreed that Venerable Ziming should wield the banner, and he accepted it.

Venerable Ziming and the others chose to seek the treasures atop the Southern Heavenly Pillar before heading to the Western Heavenly Pillar, where Fuxi was. Meanwhile, the Northern Pole Black Emperor Banner appeared on the Great Dao Treasure Ranking, and Dao Yi Dao Ancestor and Guixu Dao Ancestor learned that the treasure could acknowledge Venerable Ziming if the Taotie God was defeated.

• Venerable Ziming led the group toward the Southern Heavenly Pillar, planning to avoid Fuxi by visiting the Western Heavenly Pillar last.
• The Northern Pole Black Emperor Banner appeared on the Great Dao Treasure Ranking in second place, naming the Taotie God and Venerable Ziming as its holders.
• Dao Yi Dao Ancestor and Guixu Dao Ancestor discussed the banner while continuing to mend a fissure beneath them.
• Dao Yi Dao Ancestor and Guixu Dao Ancestor worked with their followers to mend the fissure so they could gain the acknowledgment of the Origin and Guixu wheels.
• Dao Yi Dao Ancestor and Guixu Dao Ancestor struggled to stay composed after learning that Venerable Ziming had obtained a Chaos Spirit Treasure with a simple path to its acknowledgment.

After a thousand years of training in the Star Ridge Grotto, Sun Wukong, Yang Jian, and Nezha reached the late stage of Heavenly Dao Sage and entered the Slaughter Ranking. Fuxi comprehended the grotto’s arrays, obtained the Star Ridge Array Disc, and revealed that the Star Dipper Tree and its Star Ridge Spirits were the grotto’s great opportunity.

• Sun Wukong, Yang Jian, and Nezha trained for a thousand years, advanced to the late stage of Heavenly Dao Sage, and entered the Slaughter Ranking.
• Fuxi finished comprehending the Star Ridge Grotto’s arrays, which transformed into the Star Ridge Array Disc and acknowledged him as its master.
• The Great Dao Treasure Ranking placed the Star Ridge Array Disc first, unsettling the Dao Yi Dao Ancestor, the Guixu Dao Ancestor, Venerable Ziming, and others.
• Fuxi reassured the Fuxi Qin that it could regain first place after refining the Authority of the Great Dao of Sound.
• Fuxi told Sun Wukong, Yang Jian, and Nezha that the Star Dipper Tree and its Star Ridge Spirits were the great opportunity, then gave each of them a spirit.

Fuxi gave Yang Jian, Nezha, and Sun Wukong Star Ridge Spirits before they continued toward the Central Heavenly Pillar, while Saint Envoy Yangyan and the others pursued the Chaos Ancestor and encountered the Taowu Ancestor. Venerable Ziming prepared to lure the Taowu Ancestor into a fight, revealing that the group’s actions had followed a plan he had not originally devised.

• Fuxi explained how to nurture the Star Ridge Spirits, and Yang Jian, Nezha, and Sun Wukong carefully put them away before setting out for the Central Heavenly Pillar.
• The Chaos Ancestor escaped the six Great Dao Sage Realm experts at the Eastern Heavenly Pillar by activating its formations and fleeing with the Eastern Azure Emperor Pagoda.
• Venerable Ziming persuaded the others to search the remaining Heavenly Pillars, and Saint Envoy Yangyan led them to the Southern Heavenly Pillar.
• The Taowu Ancestor sensed the six intruders, activated the Southern Heavenly Pillar’s formations to separate them, and charged toward Venerable Ziming.
• Venerable Ziming and Saint Envoy Yangyan discussed their plan to draw the Taowu Ancestor into battle, and Venerable Ziming touched the clock on his earring as he recalled that their scheme had not originated with him.
