Chapter Summaries

Li Wuyang unleashed a devastating Annihilation sword technique against the Blood Shadow Guards, and the Annihilation Heavenly Tome protected him and began transmitting its inheritance. Its awakening also roused the Divine Hall’s quasi-Saint Guardian Spirit, leaving Li Wuyang to comprehend the inheritance as a new threat emerged.

• Li Wuyang used Chaos Returns to Ruin to erase dozens of Golden Immortal Blood Shadow Guards, but the technique left him severely weakened.

• The Heavenly Tome placed Li Wuyang on the altar, shielded him, and transmitted a trace of its Annihilation Great Dao inheritance.
• The Demon Lord and Sword Cultivator tried to destroy the altar, awakening the Divine Hall’s quasi-Saint Guardian Spirit, which immobilized them and their subordinates.
• Protected by the altar, Li Wuyang began absorbing the inheritance and recovering as the Guardian Spirit’s threat loomed.

Li Wuyang gained the Annihilation Heavenly Tome’s inheritance and an Annihilation Star Core after the Heavenly Book’s will stopped the Guardian Spirit from killing him and his companions. He learned that clues to the Heavenly Book and Origin Starfire lay deeper in the Star Sea, then departed with a warning about the Stomach of the Glutton and the Eye of the Returning Void as Xuan’s brow rune resonated with the star core.

• The Heavenly Book’s will shielded Li Wuyang and his companions, ordered the Guardian Spirit to expel the Gluttonous Demon Lord, the Tianshu Sword Cultivator, and their subordinates, and recognized Li Wuyang as its inheritor.
• Li Wuyang absorbed the Annihilation True Intent, deepening his understanding of Annihilation Sword Intent while his cultivation remained at late-stage Golden Immortal.
• The Guardian Spirit told Li Wuyang that the next clue to a Heavenly Book page might lie in the Reincarnation Graveyard and that Origin Starfire might be found at the Eye of the Returning Void.

• Li Wuyang, Master of Qingwei Temple, Yue Liuli, and Yun Yi left the Annihilation Divine Hall and returned to the Bone Domain.
• A dark-gold rune appeared between Xuan’s brows aboard the Sky Patrol Immortal Boat and faintly resonated with Li Wuyang’s Annihilation Star Core across the Star Sea.

Li Wuyang learned that the Sky Patrol Immortal Boat had been attacked by the Stomach of the Glutton and traitors within the Star Law Officer, with Xuan's shell in danger. He set the Star Chaser on a perilous shortcut through the Void Corridor, where the Annihilation Star Core resonated with Xuan's shell and Glutton demonic qi.

• Li Wuyang studied the Annihilation Star Core but could not penetrate its defenses, and resolved to seek more fragments of the Annihilation Heavenly Tome at the Reincarnation Graveyard.
• Xuan Nü's true body and the dormant crystal coffin trembled as Yue Liuli alerted Li Wuyang to a highest-level Blood Star Order from the Immortal Boat.
• Yun Yi played a distress signal showing the Immortal Boat under attack, its Star Infusion Pool engulfed by demonic qi, and Xuan's shell struggling inside.

Li Wuyang and his allies attacked the besieged Sky Patrol Immortal Boat to stop the Star Law Officer and the Taotie Demon Lord’s incarnation from corrupting Xuan through a ritual. As Li Wuyang neared the altar, Xuan’s shell mutated, and it summoned the Annihilation Star Core from Li Wuyang.

• Li Wuyang found the Sky Patrol Immortal Boat under attack and saw Xuan bound at the Star Infusion Pool while the Star Law Officer and the Demon Lord's incarnation conducted a ritual.
• Li Wuyang sent Yun Yi, Master of Qingwei Temple, and Yue Liuli to disrupt the enemy while he disguised himself and infiltrated the immortal boat.

• As Li Wuyang approached the barrier, Xuan awakened and unleashed a mutated surge of demonic qi that broke the ritual cultivators' control.
• Xuan recognized Li Wuyang as the key and forcibly summoned the Annihilation Star Core from his chest.

The Annihilation Star Core fused with Xuan’s contaminated Source of Annihilation, creating a dark singularity that began devouring everything nearby. As the Demon Lord and Star Law Officer tried to seize Xuan as a prize, Li Wuyang burned his blood essence and charged toward the singularity to save her.

• The Soul Guider withdrew with a warning that the group would meet the cult again, and Li Wuyang ordered the Star Chaser onward toward the Hall of Rebirth.

Li Wuyang passed the Three Lives Stone’s reincarnation trial and gained deeper insight into reincarnation and karma, while a star bridge appeared over the River of Forgetfulness. Before the group could cross, the Cult Master of Rebirth’s forces surrounded them and formed the Myriad Souls Rebirth Grand Formation.

• Yun Yi warned that the starship could not endure the spacetime turbulence and soul erosion near the River of Forgetfulness, so Li Wuyang ordered the group to proceed on foot.

• The Cult Master of Rebirth’s forces, led by the Shadow Sacrifice Masters, the Golden Skeleton, and several Rebirth Venerables, appeared and formed the Myriad Souls Rebirth Grand Formation.

He disrupted the cult’s sacrificial formation and awakened the being in a black coffin, while a Tattered Page of the Annihilation Heavenly Tome appeared above the Reincarnation Pool.

• A Tattered Page of the Annihilation Heavenly Tome emerged above the Reincarnation Pool as Li Wuyang and his companions faced the need to seize it and escape.

Li Wuyang seized the Tattered Pages of the Heavenly Book as the Hall of Rebirth collapsed, then escaped through a failing spatial passage with his companions. They reached the Annihilation Star Sea, but the Cult of Rebirth and the being in the evil coffin remained threats, and Li Wuyang planned to seek the Origin Starfire.

• Li Wuyang resolved to seek the Origin Starfire and recover for Xuan Nü.

After more than eighty years of repairs and cultivation aboard the Star Chaser, Li Wuyang heard from Xuan Nü, whose true body had begun to recover and whose spirit had partially awakened. She warned him that the Eye of the Returning Void was dangerous and that the polluted shell needed purification, as Li Wuyang and his companions set course for the Origin Starfire.

• The Star Chaser underwent years of repairs while Li Wuyang used the Tattered Pages of the Annihilation Heavenly Tome to heal and strengthen his foundation, and his companions advanced their cultivation and skills.
