Chapter Summaries

Shisui and the Banshee Sea Demon disrupted the Planetary Will’s energy channel, causing Ruolan Star to reclaim its energy and the Planetary Will to fall dormant. With its restraints weakened, Shisui faced Long-Life Elder and the Beast King, ending the chapter by threatening them.

• Shisui judged that the Planetary Will’s energy was running low and prepared to interrupt its next extraction from the planet.
• The Wraith Species’ attack struck the Planetary Will’s consciousness and scattered its energy channel.
• Ruolan Star reclaimed the Planetary Will’s energy, shattering its chains and forcing it into dormancy.
• Long-Life Elder realized the Planetary Will’s shackles had only become dormant, while the Beast King remained silent.
• Shisui met Long-Life Elder and the Beast King, covered himself with Kagune, and declared that they would never meet again.

Shisui fought the Beast King while the Banshee Sea Demon attacked the weakened Long-Life Elder. After killing the Beast King despite the Insect Mother's intervention, Shisui turned toward the nearly ten thousand Insect Race members.

• Shisui transformed into his Kakuja state and attacked the Beast King as the Banshee Sea Demon began devouring the weakened Long-Life Elder.
• The Beast King's Eyes of Madness failed to affect Shisui, who injured him with Feather Bullets and pierced one of his eyes with a scorpion stinger.
• Parasites in the Beast King's brain stopped the stinger, and Shisui discovered that the Insect Mother had replaced the Beastfolk settlement with a vast Insect Race force.
• Shisui used dust embedded beneath the Beast King's hide to destroy his insides and bring him down.
• With the Beast King dead, Shisui turned toward the Insect Race and declared that they were next.

After the planetary will fell asleep, the weakened Heaven-Controlling Realm cultivators agreed to retreat and recover, leaving a larger war to come. On Lantiao Continent, Shisui killed the Beast King, drove the Insect Mother into hiding, and prepared the Banshee Sea Demon to face two powerful enemies alone so he could grow stronger.

• Suo Qiaoyun proposed that she, Jiqu, and the Dragon King retreat and recover, and they agreed before leaving Moonfall Continent.
• The Insect Mother witnessed the Beast King's death, abandoned her energy-storing flesh, and fled underground after ordering the Insect Hives to produce insects.
• Shisui used his Kakugan to make the insects attack one another, then let Feather Powder contain the swarm while he carried away the Beast King's corpse.
• Shisui sensed that Long-Life Elder had joined the battle against the Banshee Sea Demon and decided to leave the Insect Mother behind.
• Shisui hid near the battle and roused the Banshee Sea Demon's dormant Rc Cells, intending for him to defeat the two Heaven-Controlling Realm cultivators himself.

The Banshee Sea Demon broke through the Heaven-Controlling Realm barrier while fighting Dragon Whisker and Long-Life Elder, becoming the seventh expert of that realm. His emergence alarmed powerful figures across the continents, while Shisui appeared nearby and the Dragon King sent guards to investigate.

• Dragon Whisker arrived to help Long-Life Elder, but the Banshee Sea Demon ensnared him and began devouring his body.
• The Banshee Sea Demon sensed that the Heaven-Controlling Realm barrier had become a trial rather than a sealed boundary and shattered it with three strikes.
• Long-Life Elder cut Dragon Whisker's vines and pulled him away as the Banshee Sea Demon advanced into the Heaven-Controlling Realm.
• Shisui appeared near the newly advanced Banshee Sea Demon and recognized the familiar aroma of coffee.
• Suo Qiaoyun sensed the new expert and decided she needed to recover faster, while Jiqu remained unconcerned and focused on the Demon Race.
• The Dragon King ordered his guards to investigate Lantiao Continent without venturing deep inland.

Shisui watched as the Banshee Sea Demon used planetary power to kill Dragon Whisker and Long-Life Elder, then moved to claim his reward. When the planet tried to control the Banshee Sea Demon, the Rc Cells severed their connection, and Shisui captured his partner to eat him.

• The Banshee Sea Demon used the planetary power within him to suppress and kill Dragon Whisker and Long-Life Elder while Shisui watched.
• The planet offered the Banshee Sea Demon the job of managing the biosphere and tried to remove impurities from his soul body.
• The Rc Cells resisted the planet's power, multiplied, and devoured the remaining sliver of planetary will energy in the Banshee Sea Demon.
• Shisui's power helped the Banshee Sea Demon break free, and Shisui seized him with a Bikaku, saying he would eat him as payment for saving him.

Shisui devoured the Banshee Sea Demon and harvested the energy from the black fog and two Heaven-Controlling Realm corpses. After swallowing the vengeful spirit’s final fragment, Shisui felt his accumulated energy reach its limit and knew he had to advance.

• Shisui used his Bikaku and Rc Cells to invade the Banshee Sea Demon’s spirit body while defending himself from the spirit’s black fog.
• Shisui’s Radiant Feathers filtered the black fog and raced to consume the two Heaven-Controlling Realm corpses before the Banshee Sea Demon could reach them.
• The Banshee Sea Demon regained his senses but could neither break free of the Rc Cells nor control the black fog, leaving him unable to protect his spoils.
• Shisui taunted the helpless Banshee Sea Demon, then strangled him and ate his spirit body piece by piece.
• After Shisui swallowed the final fragment, his energy surged and his Rc Cells grew active, signaling that he had reached the limit and needed to advance.

Shisui began forcing his way through the Heaven-Controlling Realm bottleneck while hidden behind a wall of fog. As he advanced, his black fog killed a Sea Race scouting team, and it began spreading across the continent in search of energy.

• Shisui checked the desolate battlefield, raised a fog barrier, and prepared his reserves of corpses, Awakened, and Flesh Crystals for his advancement.
• Shisui activated [Predator], entered a cocoon of Metamorphosis, and poured energy into the Heaven-Controlling Realm bottleneck until he lost awareness of his surroundings.
• A Sea Race team landed on the western coast of the central Lantiao Continent and cautiously advanced to investigate the battlefield.
• The captain spotted a vast wall of fog and ordered the team to retreat, but the fog turned black and red and engulfed them.
• Shisui's fog crushed the Sea Race members and absorbed their energy as it spread across the continent.

Shisui fed on the flesh and blood he had saved after reaching the Heaven-Controlling Realm, spreading deadly black mist across Lantiao Continent as he waited for his wounded rivals to recover. Six months later, the other races expected war to resume, while Suo Qiaoyun prepared the Human Race for battle by rapidly expanding her puppet forces.

• Shisui's hunger returned, and he used his Feather Powder to seek prey while savoring the flesh, organs, and blood he had saved from his previous battles.
• Shisui's feeding devastated the northern and southern parts of Lantiao Continent, and he planned to wait until the other Heaven-Controlling Realm experts recovered before hunting them.
• Six months passed, and black mist kept living creatures away from Lantiao Continent as rumors spread that a new Heaven-Controlling Realm expert lived there.
• The races expected the unfinished war to resume once their Heaven-Controlling Realm experts recovered from the battle with the Planetary Will.
• Suo Qiaoyun sensed that her puppet forces had been replenished and continued rushing their growth to strengthen the Human Race for the coming war.

Suo Qiaoyun read a report on the Jade Swallow Continent’s sinking and considered using Bound Captives to increase the birth rate, while Jin Yuxi left his ruined family home, expecting to die soon. Deep in the Lantiao Continent, Shisui completed his breakthrough to the Heaven-Controlling Realm and drew in the black fog, prompting a Human Race fleet to prepare for his next move.

• Suo Qiaoyun read an urgent report describing the Jade Swallow Continent’s sinking, the resulting natural disasters, and their effects on the races’ declining populations.
• Suo Qiaoyun considered pairing off the Bound Captives to raise the birth rate, while one of her Bound Captives suppressed his resentment under the influence of her Motherly Silk chains.
• Jin Yuxi visited the abandoned Jin residence, reflected on his brother Jin Yuze’s death and his own drained life force, then left without entering.
• Shisui awakened in the black fog and fully stabilized his cultivation at the Heaven-Controlling Realm.
• Shisui drew the Feather Powder fog inward, changing the skies over the Lantiao Continent and attracting the attention of nearby observers.
• Yan Fei calmed the Human Race fleet monitoring the continent and ordered six-hour shifts so personnel would remain ready.

Yan Fei led a Human Race team toward Lantiao Continent while the Insect Mother sent scouts to investigate Shisui, but both found the land empty because Shisui had already left. At the sunken Jade Swallow Continent, Shisui discovered Ruolan Star’s severe planetary wound and offered to help the planet repair itself.

• Yan Fei accepted that the Human Race would keep him shackled and directed his team to approach Lantiao Continent.
• The Insect Mother, recovered and fearful of Shisui, sent scouts into Lantiao Continent to learn his condition.
• The Human Race and Insect Race scouts found only an empty desert because Shisui had departed.
• Shisui examined the sea where Jade Swallow Continent had sunk and judged that the damage threatened Ruolan Star’s ecosystem.
• Ruolan Star manifested a blue-and-gold figure and warned Shisui not to approach.
• Shisui reassured Ruolan Star that he meant no harm and wished to help his new home.

Shisui tested Ruolan Star’s ability to interfere with him and learned that the planet could not safely wield its full power while its Planetary Will remained dormant. After Ruolan Star offered him the Planetary Will position, Shisui dropped his gentle act and insulted the planet.

• Shisui explained that he wanted to help Ruolan Star while privately planning to hunt prey and protect his food supply.
• Ruolan Star told Shisui it distrusted him and blamed him for taking the Banshee Sea Demon, which it had planned to use to repair the Planetary Will.
• Shisui called the Banshee Sea Demon prey he had claimed, and Ruolan Star gathered storm clouds but let its lightning disperse without striking him.
• Ruolan Star offered Shisui the position of Planetary Will, hoping to secure his cooperation until the dormant Planetary Will recovered.
• Shisui realized Ruolan Star could not control its power well, revealed his Kakugan, and mocked the planet as useless.

Shisui enraged Ruolan Star, escaped its search, and was declared a target for extermination. As the races investigated him, Jin Yuxi found an old wanted notice that matched Shisui and secretly mailed it away, while Li Nai'an accepted a mission to escort Miao Xingyu toward the unknown Heaven-Controlling Realm expert.

• Shisui mocked Ruolan Star, absorbed its lightning and Psychic Energy, then vanished before the planet could locate him.
• Ruolan Star ordered the Human Race, Demon Race, Sea Race, and Insect Mother to exterminate Shisui, prompting the other Heaven-Controlling Realm experts to question when an alien had appeared.
• Jin Yuxi recognized Shisui in an old Human Race wanted notice and secretly collected and mailed it away under the Motherly Silk's surveillance.
• Li Nai'an learned she would escort Miao Xingyu to investigate a Heaven-Controlling Realm expert, with Hu Lingling and an elite Undying Legion unit on standby.
• Li Nai'an accepted the assignment after learning Miao Xingyu was the test subject who could return from the dead.

Li Nai'an received a mission to find a Heaven-Controlling Realm target in Willow City and was assigned Miao Xingyu as her companion. The target, Shisui, had already destroyed Willow City, and Li Nai'an prepared to depart for the devastated area.

• A personal guard delivered Li Nai'an the target's location and mission equipment, then introduced Miao Xingyu as her companion.
• Li Nai'an recognized Miao Xingyu as a Wanren Laboratory test subject whose Nine Lives Cat talent revived him at the cost of his cultivation, and told him they would leave in three minutes.
• Shisui appeared above Willow City and used a Chain Bomb to break the city's barrier and trigger a second explosion inside the city.
• Willow City's garrison split between rescuing the city and confronting Shisui, but his Kakugan crushed the attackers and flattened the city, including its underground shelters.

Shisui discovered that Miao Xingyu could recover from death and sensed Li Nai'an and a powerful Demon Race army nearby. After luring the group into a fog field that drained Psychic Energy, he trapped them as the Demon Race expert Jiqu met with Human and Sea Race experts elsewhere.

• Shisui stopped the Chain Bombs and absorbed the Psychic Energy from Willow City, while Li Nai'an and Miao Xingyu headed out with Hu Lingling and the Undying Legion elites following behind.
• Hu Lingling reflected on the Undying Legion's longing to die at the hands of a powerful enemy and her own wish for someone to destroy all intelligent life.
• Shisui severed Miao Xingyu's throat with a Radiant Feather, then used his Kakugan to see Miao Xingyu's soul restoring his body and detected Li Nai'an and the nearby Demon Race army.
• Shisui finished absorbing Willow City's energy and left; Li Nai'an retrieved Miao Xingyu's body and head and returned to the army.
• A thick fog surrounded the Demon Race army, and Hu Lingling ordered a retreat as the fog began draining Psychic Energy.
• Jiqu spoke with Heaven-Controlling Realm experts from the Human Race and the Sea Race within the Ten-Thousand-Blade Mountain Range.

Jiqu joined the Dragon King and Suo Qiaoyun in discussing an alliance against the Ghouls. In Willow City, Shisui overwhelmed the demons, but Li Nai'an’s exposed brain released a strange power that Suo Qiaoyun sensed from Kaiyang Continent.

• Jiqu interrupted the Dragon King and Suo Qiaoyun and proposed that the three races cooperate against the Ghouls.
• Shisui appeared before Hu Lingling’s squad and broke through her defense, exposing Li Nai'an and Miao Xingyu.
• Li Nai'an cut herself to awaken the blood-drinking vines and ordered the demons to run.
• Shisui crushed Li Nai'an’s skull, then tore out her brain as the vines withered and a red lotus bloomed on it.
• Suo Qiaoyun sensed the lotus’s energy from Kaiyang Continent and wondered what it was.

Suo Qiaoyun sensed the Yuwen Family’s Blood Lotus near Willow City, while Shisui contained Li Nai'an’s escaping brain and suspected it had stumbled upon hidden Demon Race dealings. Jiqu recognized Li Nai'an as a surviving Wanren Laboratory experiment, and the chapter explained how the Demon Race had captured Yuwen descendants to create Undying Cell subjects.

• Suo Qiaoyun followed the Blood Lotus scent toward Willow City but found her Heaven-Controlling Realm senses blocked by Shisui’s fog.
• Li Nai'an’s brain severed part of its tissue, broke free from Shisui, and darted toward its fallen body.
• Jiqu attacked Shisui’s fog wall, and Shisui used Radiant Feathers to seal off Li Nai'an’s body and surround the brain.
• Jiqu recognized the Blood Lotus as the result of a Wanren Laboratory project and remembered Li Nai'an as its finished product.
• The Demon Race had hunted the Yuwen Family for its Blood Lotus healing talent, captured its descendants, and fused nearly fifteen children with Undying Cells; Li Nai'an was the only one still alive.

Shisui ambushed Jiqu after the Blood Lotus fragrance threatened to expose the Demon Race’s experiments on humans. Suo Qiaoyun rejected cooperation with the Demon Race, but Jiqu’s sudden move left her facing a pair of blood-red Kakugan and searing pain.

• Jiqu attacked Shisui’s mist to destroy evidence, but Shisui emerged and wounded him with Radiant Feathers and Rc Cells.
• Jiqu transformed into a giant sea urchin and tried to escape, but Shisui cut into him and redirected his route toward Suo Qiaoyun.
• Shisui placed Li Nai'an’s body between Jiqu and Suo Qiaoyun, then hid to observe their encounter.
• Suo Qiaoyun decided that the Demon Race’s experiments and their likely future betrayal made cooperation impossible.
• Jiqu sprang backward as Suo Qiaoyun questioned him, and she saw blood-red Kakugan before pain erupted through her body.

Shisui overwhelmed Jiqu and forced him to abandon his body, then turned his attention to Suo Qiaoyun. Jiqu’s apparent death left Shisui suspicious, while Suo Qiaoyun faced the Predator alone.

• Shisui attacked Suo Qiaoyun with his Kakugan, but Jiqu rescued her and engaged him.
• Shisui blasted apart Jiqu’s body and used Feather Powder and his Bikaku to devour the scattered Undying Cells.
• Suo Qiaoyun recovered from the soul attack, made a safe space with Motherly Silk, and tried to reach Jiqu through the Feather Powder.
• Shisui’s Bikaku tore Jiqu apart, and Jiqu concealed his escape by transferring his soul toward the Ten-Thousand-Blade Mountain Range.
• Shisui sensed Jiqu’s apparent death, wondered how he had fallen so quickly, and turned to Suo Qiaoyun.

Shisui overcame Suo Qiaoyun’s defenses and poisoned her, causing her control over the Bound Captives to weaken across the continents. As Suo Qiaoyun lay unable to act, the Bound Captives began preparing to resist her and hoped she would not survive.

• Suo Qiaoyun held off Shisui’s attacks with Motherly Silk and tried to persuade him to ally with other Heaven-Controlling Realm experts, but the Dragon King refused to come to her aid.
• Shisui tore through the space protected by the Motherly Silk, appeared behind Suo Qiaoyun, and stabbed her through the heart with his scorpion tail.
• Shisui’s venom and Rc Cells spread through Suo Qiaoyun, weakening her and causing the Motherly Silk binding the Bound Captives to decay.
• In Zi City, Jin Yuxi realized Suo Qiaoyun was in danger and resolved to warn the Bound Captives to resist her rather than let her drain their life force.
• On Lantiao Continent, Yan Fei halted his team’s advance and led them back to their temporary camp after realizing Suo Qiaoyun’s control had weakened.
• In southern Huaihuang Continent, Suo Qiaoyun could neither move nor use Psychic Energy as the Bound Captives grew restless and hoped she would die.

As Shisui drained Suo Qiaoyun, her anger led her to draw power from the Bound Captives, but they had already begun resisting her control. Yan Fei and Lu Qianyu helped spread the call to rebel, and the chapter ended as Suo Qiaoyun’s punishment triggered a struggle over the Bound Captives’ life force.

• Suo Qiaoyun heard the Bound Captives celebrating her possible death and grew furious as Shisui restrained and poisoned her.
• Suo Qiaoyun tried to draw power from the Bound Captives, but Shisui’s Rc Cells intercepted much of the energy.
• Yan Fei thanked Lu Qianyu for helping spread the message to break the chains or resist the extraction of power.
• Lu Qianyu joined the rebellion after losing faith in the Human Race high command and used his intelligence network to spread the call.
• The Bound Captives began resisting Suo Qiaoyun’s attempt to take their life force, and her punishment descended.
