Chapter Summaries

Wang Yi fused his sixth Origin Spirit Orb and became increasingly aware of the mysterious, seemingly dead eye within Demon Abyss. After Wujian Tower negotiated for the final two orbs, Wang Yi collected them and returned to seclusion to fuse all twelve.

• Wang Yi continued fusing an Origin Spirit Orb beneath the sea and felt Demon Abyss's pressure intensify as he sensed a shadow resembling an eye.
• The factions that found the final two Origin Spirit Orbs negotiated with Wujian Tower, which obtained them from Jie Mountain Palace and Youye High City.
• After fusing his sixth orb, Wang Yi left seclusion and learned from Master Cangli that all twelve Origin Spirit Orbs had been gathered.
• Master Cangli told Wang Yi that Aru Master had learned his identity but had promised to keep it secret, and Wang Yi said it did not matter.
• Wang Yi collected the final two orbs from Master Cangli and returned to the seabed to continue fusing them.

After fusing the ninth Origin Spirit Orb, Wang Yi saw the Demon Abyss’s true form and triggered its descent toward the world. As lifeforms across the Demon Abyss World feared their impending destruction, Wang Yi realized he had limited time to fuse the remaining orbs.

• Wang An, Wang Yi’s second son, Transcended Reincarnation, but Wang Yi remained in seclusion.
• Wang Yi fused the ninth Origin Spirit Orb and briefly saw the Demon Abyss as a colossal, wounded azure eyeball before its pressure forced him to look away.
• The Demon Abyss began slowly descending, and powerful lifeforms across its world sensed the change and feared it would destroy them.
• The Origin Continent’s forces searched for the cause, and Master Cangli asked Wang Yi about it, but Wang Yi could not confirm whether his fusion had caused the descent.
• Wang Yi feared he would perish if he had not fused all twelve Origin Spirit Orbs before the Demon Abyss fully awakened, and he resolved to hurry.

As Demon Abyss pushed the world toward destruction, Wang Yi fused the Origin Spirit Orbs and reached the final one while resisting its influence. Just as Demon Abyss was about to break through the clouds, a mysterious cracking sound rang across the world.

After fusing the twelve Origin Spirit Orbs, Wang Yi passed Tianhuang Mountain’s trial and witnessed a memory of a battle between a dead Hunyuan Life and a cyan figure wielding a familiar tower. He learned more about the Demon Abyss Eye, while the Wujian Tower Master questioned whether she had to abandon the Void Tower to advance.

The Rhino Emperor revealed to Wang Yi that he was the Master of Tianhuang Mountain and recounted how his mixed Ancient Clan and cultivator heritage shaped his path to power. He explained that he became a Second Layer God King, then left his account hanging on a “But...”

• The Rhino Emperor told Wang Yi that his identity as the Master of Tianhuang Mountain was also the source of his name as the famed Rhino Emperor, a powerful Soul Path Clone.
• The Rhino Emperor recounted how cultivators once suffered under the Ancient Clan and how he was born to a cultivator father and an Ancient Clan mother in the Rhino Tribe.
• After an Ancient Clan descendant’s death led to the destruction of the Rhino Tribe and the deaths of his parents, the Rhino Emperor swore to gain strength and avenge them.
• The Rhino Emperor entered Tianhuang Mountain with help from an Ancient Clan friend, became its master, and learned that the Ancient Clan Progenitor had allowed him to enter.
• The Rhino Emperor refused the Progenitor’s offer to become his disciple, then used Tianhuang Mountain to become a Second Layer God King and the first of the Soul Path in the Origin Continent.

Rhino Emperor recounted how he avenged his tribe, then tried to foster peaceful coexistence between the Ancient Clan and cultivators. When the Ancient Clan began exterminating cultivators, he intervened, fled the Progenitor’s pursuit, and agreed to sacrifice himself to end the war.

• Rhino Emperor secretly killed the Ancient Clan God King responsible for destroying his tribe, and the Ancient Clan Progenitor discovered his revenge but forgave him.
• Rhino Emperor opened Tianhuang Mountain to geniuses from both groups and used his influence to encourage the Ancient Clan and cultivators to coexist.
• As cultivators grew stronger, conflict with the Ancient Clan intensified, and Rhino Emperor struggled between his ties to both sides.
• After an Ancient Clan God King called for cultivators to be exterminated, Rhino Emperor killed a God King to protect them and enraged the Progenitor.
• The Progenitor pursued Rhino Emperor with a powerful ally, then offered to stop the war if Rhino Emperor ended his own life, and Rhino Emperor agreed.

Wang Yi inherited Tianhuang Mountain from Rhino Emperor, who passed away after recounting his sacrifice and the mountain’s history. When Wang Yi entered the Demon Abyss Eye, Tianhuang Mountain expelled everyone, leaving the forces of the Origin Continent wondering who had claimed it.

• Rhino Emperor explained that he had hidden Tianhuang Mountain in the Sea of Reincarnation for future cultivators and named the Demon Abyss Eye as his most important legacy.
• Rhino Emperor entrusted Tianhuang Mountain to Wang Yi, then vanished after confirming he had no unfulfilled wishes.

• Master Huasu asked God King Zhongli whether Wujian Tower had obtained Tianhuang Mountain, and Wang Yi emerged as they waited for news.

Wang Yi emerged from seclusion and confirmed to Master Cangli and Luoluo Master Gu that he had succeeded in obtaining Tianhuang Mountain. As he went to meet the Wujian Tower Master, the Ancient Clan and other powers investigated who had claimed the mountain, with the Holy King ordering the Ancient Clan to find its new master.

• The Holy King judged that a Chaos Master had likely become Tianhuang Mountain's master and ordered the Ancient Clan to find them at all costs.
• Wang Yi remained unaware of the turmoil as he continued toward his teacher.

Wang Yi visited the Wujian Tower Master after obtaining Tianhuang Mountain and recounted how he had acquired it. She praised his talent and advised him to attempt the tenth layer of the Yuan Shen Palace before breaking through.

• With the Spirit of the Road Guide's help, Wang Yi transported the Wujian Tower Master's Clone to Tianhuang Mountain, where she sensed its terrifying power.

The Wujian Tower Master examined Tianhuang Mountain and urged Wang Yi to focus on the Void Path rather than divide his effort with the Soul Path inheritance. They agreed to open its Demon Abyss World to Wujian Tower Chaos Masters as compensation for their help, while Wang Yi also saw how it could strengthen the Human Race.

• The Wujian Tower Master and Wang Yi explored Tianhuang Mountain, where she found little that could benefit her despite its mysterious Demon Abyss Eye.

• Wang Yi watched the Demon Abyss World through the Demon Abyss Eye and considered giving Great Axe Founder and the others additional trials.

After saving the Demon Abyss World, Wang Yi reflected on his growing God King-level will and tested the Lie Yuan Technique on Rain. With the Spirit Slaying Pearl amplifying his attack, he nearly overwhelmed her, leaving him to wonder whether his Will Secret Technique now rivaled the Spirit Slaying God King’s.

• Wang Yi surveyed the restored Demon Abyss World, whose inhabitants no longer remembered that it had nearly been destroyed.
• Wang Yi reflected that his will had reached roughly the middle God King level, though his power as ruler of the Demon Abyss World could not be used outside it.
• Wang Yi tested the Lie Yuan Technique on Rain and reduced her strength by more than half.
• Wang Yi activated the Spirit Slaying Pearl and struck Rain with an amplified Will Attack, leaving her with only about one-tenth of her strength.
• Wang Yi wondered whether his Will Secret Technique now matched the Spirit Slaying God King’s.

• Wang Yi formed the fused secret patterns into a saber containing the power of all three Void Path aspects.
• Wang Yi returned to Yuan Shen Palace and entered its Tenth Layer, determined to pass the challenge.

• Wang Yi recognized the crimson token as a Realm Heart Token and recalled that it offered a chance to reincarnate in the Realm Heart Continent.

Wang Yi told the Wujian Tower Master that passing Yuan Shen Palace’s Tenth Layer had given him a Realm Heart Token, which could send him to the Realm Heart Continent and could not be removed from his soul. The Wujian Tower Master concealed her interest in the opportunity, trusted his account, and made him a Hall Master of Wujian Tower.
