Chapter Summaries

The Blood God Clone and the Darkness Breeds arrived in the Chaotic Void Star Region, where Sa Yanluo Demon God explained his plan to ambush Light Universe powerhouses using the Tribulation Flame Compass. He assigned the Demon Venerables subsidiary compasses and pointed them toward a deadly space-time vortex, leaving them alarmed about what he expected them to do.

• The Blood God Clone and the Darkness Breeds recovered from Sa Yanluo Demon God's rapid spatial teleportation atop a meteorite being eroded by turbulent energy.
• Sa Yanluo Demon God identified their location as the Chaotic Void Star Region, a perilous forbidden region in the Mechanical Territory filled with space-time vortices.
• Sa Yanluo Demon God explained that Gu Guo Demon God had circled back into the Mechanical Territory to evade pursuit.
• Sa Yanluo Demon God revealed the Tribulation Flame Compass, kept its main compass, and distributed its nine subsidiary compasses among the Demon Venerables.
• Sa Yanluo Demon God stopped the meteorite and pointed the group toward a terrifying vortex, alarming the Demon Venerables.

The Sa Yanluo Demon God ordered the Demon Venerable Level beings to enter a dangerous Space-Time Vortex, promising the compass would protect them. The Blood God Clone secured a possible waiver of the Blood Race’s punishment and Source Blood Stones for its elders, then watched Blood Fang Demon Venerable enter the vortex under the compass’s protection.

• The Sa Yanluo Demon God told the Demon Venerable Level beings to enter the Space-Time Vortex and warned them to obey when they hesitated.
• The Blood God Clone persuaded the Blood Race to volunteer first, and the Sa Yanluo Demon God said it might waive their punishments as it saw fit.
• The Blood God Clone asked whether the injured Blood Race elders could affect the Demon God’s plan, and the Sa Yanluo Demon God gave each elder a Source Blood Stone.
• The Sa Yanluo Demon God deliberately left the Blood God Clone without a Source Blood Stone, then ordered the group to proceed.
• Blood Fang Demon Venerable approached the Space-Time Vortex as the compass released runes and formed a protective curtain of light around him.

Blood Fang Demon Venerable used the Tribulation Flame Compass to enter the Space-Time Vortex safely and began comprehending its power, while the other Demon Venerables realized the vortex offered a rare opportunity. The Sa Yanluo Demon God then made Blood Fang and the subsidiary compass invisible, revealing new Attribute Bubbles that the Blood God Clone resolved to collect.

• The Tribulation Flame Compass shielded Blood Fang Demon Venerable from the Space-Time Vortex as it advanced to the center and sat down to comprehend the space-time power.
• The Blood God Clone explained that the vortex could aid comprehension, prompting the Blood Race and Bone Spirit Race Demon Venerables to recognize the opportunity and compete over it.
• The Sa Yanluo Demon God warned Blood Fang Demon Venerable not to delay its mission, and Blood Fang quickly stood and promised to obey.
• The Sa Yanluo Demon God activated runes on the compasses, making Blood Fang Demon Venerable and the subsidiary compass invisible to everyone present.
• The Blood God Clone spotted Attribute Bubbles around the compass runes and waited for a chance to collect them as the Sa Yanluo Demon God moved onward.

The Blood God Clone prepared to retrieve the Attribute Bubbles from the Space-Time Vortex while evading Sa Yanluo Demon God's senses. He strengthened Space Concealment and used the Myriad Manifestations Soul Control Secret Technique to imitate the Chaotic Void Star Region, then sent his Mental Power into a passing energy current.

• The Blood God Clone waited for Sa Yanluo Demon God's meteorite to travel farther from the Space-Time Vortex before acting.
• He spent 573,500 Blank Attributes to raise Space Concealment from Proficiency Level to great success.
• He layered Space Power, Shadow Force, and the Myriad Manifestations Soul Control Secret Technique to conceal and disguise his power as the Chaotic Void Star Region.
• The Blood God Clone formed a convincing imitation of the Chaotic Void Star Region within his own star region.
• When a turbulent energy current struck the meteorite and rippled the compass's protective barrier, the Blood God Clone sent his concealed Mental Power into the current.

The Blood God Clone evaded the Sa Yanluo Demon God's suspicion and carefully entered the Space-Time Vortex to collect Time and Space attributes. As his gains increased deeper inside, he sensed an unusual fluctuation rapidly approaching.

• The Blood God Clone concealed his Space Power and Mental Power within the chaotic energy, and the Sa Yanluo Demon God searched the area but found nothing.
• The Blood God Clone sent a fine thread of power into the Space-Time Vortex, lost one attempt, then gathered Time and Space Attribute Bubbles from its outer region.
• The Blood God Clone realized the collected Time attributes had advanced the main body's Time Body again, but his thread of power suddenly exploded inside the vortex.
• The Blood God Clone cautiously sent another thread into the vortex and collected increasingly valuable attributes as he crossed more than half its length.
• The Blood God Clone sensed an unusual fluctuation rapidly approaching.

The Blood God Clone investigated the Space-Time Vortex, dodged its unstable Special Energy Masses, and discovered an energy field surrounding the vortex’s center. After finding a way to snatch attribute bubbles from a temporary gap, he gained insights into the Space-Time Domain while Sa Yanluo Demon God led the others to another vortex.

• The Blood God Clone avoided a Special Energy Mass, then escaped four more by using Space Blink as they converged around its Mental Power.
• The Blood God Clone reached the vortex’s center, found it crowded with Special Energy Masses held by an energy field made from Space Power and Time Power, and retreated from the danger.
• Sa Yanluo Demon God stopped at a second Space-Time Vortex and sent a Bone Spirit Race Demon Venerable inside with a secondary compass.
• The Blood God Clone identified a brief gap in the central energy field and realized the Myriad Manifestations Soul Control Secret Technique might let it blend into the field.
• The Blood God Clone rushed into a gap left by an escaping energy mass and collected four attribute bubbles, including Space-Time Domain insights.
• The Blood God Clone began absorbing the Space-Time Domain insights while concealing its discovery from Sa Yanluo Demon God.

Wang Teng Main Body awakened after the Blood God Clone comprehended the Space-Time Domain, and learned that Gu Guo Demon God and Sa Yanluo Demon God planned to ambush the Light Universe’s experts. Trapped in Gu Guo Demon God’s White Bone Demon Prison, Wang Teng resolved to act, while the Blood God Clone escaped the Space-Time Vortex and began evolving his energies into the new domain.

• The Blood God Clone comprehended the Space-Time Domain, awakening Wang Teng Main Body inside Gu Guo Demon God’s White Bone Demon Prison.
• Wang Teng learned that Gu Guo Demon God and Sa Yanluo Demon God planned to lure and ambush Light Universe experts in the Chaotic Void Star Region, and considered using Starfall Venerable’s body to send a warning.
• Wang Teng decided to act instead of waiting, while the Blood God Clone checked that his Space-Time Domain had reached the second order.
• Surrounded by converging energy masses, the Blood God Clone used his third-order Time Power to freeze them briefly and escape the central region of the Space-Time Vortex.
• The Blood God Clone activated Myriad Forms and began evolving his energies into the Space-Time Domain.

The Blood God Clone transformed his power to infiltrate the Space-Time Vortex and collect its attribute bubbles, improving his Space-Time Domain and completing the third level of his Time Body. He also entered the core to collect insights into the Tribulation Flame Compass, learning only part of its forging process.

• The Blood God Clone transformed his Mental Power to match the energy field, gaining insight into how its Space and Time Powers stayed balanced.

• He slipped into the vortex's core and collected bubbles from the Tribulation Flame Compass and Ancient Darkness Mark.
• The Blood God Clone gained incomplete divine-level Tribulation Flame Compass insights, reaching Entry Level at 4500/30000.

The Blood God Clone learned that Sa Yanluo Demon God's Tribulation Flame Compass had been forged with the Darkness World Heaven and Earth Strange Fire known as the Dark Fiend Tribulation Flame, and he gained new Ancient Darkness Mark insights. As he continued collecting attributes in the Chaotic Void Star Region, news spread that Wang Teng had been captured by Darkness Breed experts.

• The Blood God Clone examined the Tribulation Flame Compass's attributes and discovered that the divine artifact had been forged with the Dark Fiend Tribulation Flame, a Heaven and Earth Strange Fire born from heavenly tribulation.
• The Blood God Clone realized that learning the compass's forging method could let him combine Heaven and Earth Strange Fires with weapons, and he resolved to seek an opportunity to obtain more insights during the coming battle.
• The Blood God Clone absorbed Ancient Darkness Mark attributes from Sa Yanluo Demon God's use of the compass, improving his mastery to 6800/10000 at Small Success and learning its powerful concealment ability.
• The Blood God Clone left a trace of manifested power in the Space-Time Vortex and moved on to collect attributes elsewhere, narrowly avoiding Sa Yanluo Demon God and his group.
• News that Darkness Breed experts had captured Wang Teng spread secretly among the factions' upper echelons, shocking the experts who had just heard of his achievements at Lanji Void Fortress.

After Starfall Venerable and Wang Teng were captured by a powerful Darkness Breed expert, the Coalition’s leaders learned that a Demon God’s divine soul had been involved and discussed the danger of hidden soul methods. The higher-ups decided to deploy a True God Level existence and three Immortal Level Venerables to respond.

• Old Man Ji questioned Star Machine King over the Mechanical Race’s failure to protect Wang Teng and Starfall Venerable, while Commander-in-Chief Xing Ce mediated.
• Commander-in-Chief Xing Ce revealed that a Demon God’s wisp of divine soul had descended after two Upper Demon Venerable Level Darkness Breeds planted soul methods inside Starfall Venerable.
• Star Machine King warned the experts that they needed to guard against soul methods used by Upper Demon Venerable Level Darkness Breeds.
• Commander-in-Chief Xing Ce stressed that Wang Teng and Starfall Venerable had to be rescued and said the higher-ups were preparing for the possibility of a true Demon God Level existence appearing.
• Commander-in-Chief Xing Ce announced that a True God Level existence would be deployed, and Star Machine King said Candle Dragon Territory, Tianlan Territory, and the Mechanical Race would each send an Immortal Level Venerable.

The Coalition’s leaders arranged a rescue for Wang Teng, with the Candle Dragon Territory, Tianlan Territory, Virtual Universe Company, Starry Sky Academy, and Sub-Profession Alliance Headquarters pledging Immortal Level support. Old Man Ji revealed that his Light attribute gave him a way to enter the sealed Three Great Territories, and the meeting ended with six Immortal Level Venerables committed to the mission.

• Zhu Longding said the Candle Dragon Race would send an Immortal Level Venerable because of its friendship with Wang Teng.
• A Tianlan Territory representative cited Wang Teng’s past help and said the territory would also contribute an Immortal Level Venerable.
• The Virtual Universe Company pledged another Immortal Level Venerable, and Old Man Ji announced that he would personally join the rescue.
• Old Man Ji revealed his Light Power and said he could enter the Three Great Territories and protect himself from Darkness Power.
• Elder Dan Chen announced that the Sub-Profession Alliance Headquarters would send one person, bringing the rescue force to six Immortal Level Venerables.

Commander-in-Chief Xing Ce and the factions organized a rescue for Wang Teng, sending one True God and six Immortal Level Venerables after the Demon God in the Chaotic Void Star Region. Old Man Ji agreed to help the Mechanical Race use its Light Source artifact, then tore open the black mist barrier and entered the Three Great Territories to reach Wang Teng.

• Commander-in-Chief Xing Ce confirmed that one True God and six Immortal Level Venerables would pursue the Demon God, which the Mechanical Race had tracked toward the Chaotic Void Star Region.
• Star Machine King warned that the Demon God might be planning an ambush and proposed luring it into a trap using the Mechanical Race’s methods in the Chaotic Void Star Region.
• Star Machine King asked Old Man Ji to help a Mechanical Race existence control the Light Source artifact, and Old Man Ji agreed.
• The factions finalized their plan and dispersed, while their leaders prepared for a possible clash between True God and Demon God Level existences.
• Old Man Ji accompanied Commander-in-Chief Xing Ce to the black mist barrier, then used a Light Sword strike to open a gateway through it.
• Old Man Ji entered the gateway, and the black mist engulfed it moments later.

Commander-in-Chief Xing Ce concluded that Old Man Ji’s method for entering the Three Great Territories could not be widely used. Inside the White Bone Demon Prison, Wang Teng used his Black Water Domain and Myriad Manifestations Soul Control Secret Technique to try to send a wisp of Soul Power beyond Gu Guo Demon God’s control.

• Old Man Ji tore through the black mist barrier with a Light Source sword strike and entered the Three Great Territories, while Commander-in-Chief Xing Ce deduced that the method required rare abilities and could not be widely applied.
• Commander-in-Chief Xing Ce left to handle the Coalition’s other affairs as people discussed Wang Teng’s role in the Lanji Void Fortress victory and the fall of the Zhufeng Void Fortress.
• Wang Teng used his own Black Water Domain to move freely within Gu Guo Demon God’s domain and collected Attribute Bubbles that raised his White Bone Demon Prison Soul Secret Technique mastery to Skilled level.
• Wang Teng decided to use the Myriad Manifestations Soul Control Secret Technique to disguise his Soul Power as the White Bone Demon Prison’s own power and evade Gu Guo Demon God’s perception.
• Wang Teng sent the disguised wisp of Soul Power forward through the prison, bypassing its runes as he searched for a way out.

Wang Teng tried to escape the White Bone Demon Prison but found its outer wall sealed by an unbroken web of runes, so he replaced one rune with his own and hid while Gu Guo Demon God repeatedly searched for him. The scans found nothing, but Gu Guo Demon God continued inspecting the prison, leaving Wang Teng trapped and waiting for a chance to move.

• Wang Teng reached the edge of the White Bone Demon Prison and discovered a solid wall of runes with no gaps.
• Wang Teng replaced one familiar rune with his own, concealing his Soul Power with the Myriad Manifestations Soul Control Secret Technique.
• Gu Guo Demon God scanned the prison and Wang Teng's Soul Body, but failed to detect him.
• Gu Guo Demon God continued its repeated inspections while Wang Teng stayed motionless and waited for an opportunity to escape.

Wang Teng escaped Gu Guo Demon God's Soul Power scan and searched Starfall Venerable's corrupted soul world for his Soul Body. After finding no trace in the black mist, he reasoned that Starfall Venerable was likely trapped in the Heart of Evolution's core and headed toward it, collecting nearby attribute bubbles.

• Wang Teng waited until Gu Guo Demon God stopped scanning, then sent his Soul Power beyond the White Bone Demon Prison.
• Wang Teng saw that Starfall Venerable's soul world had been darkened and searched several black-mist regions, but found no Soul Body.
• Wang Teng concluded that Starfall Venerable's Soul Body was probably trapped in the core region of the Heart of Evolution.
• Wang Teng examined his Heart of Evolution insights and learned that layered barriers protected the core region, making his Entry Level mastery insufficient.
• Wang Teng followed the runes toward the core region as the Darkness corruption intensified, then collected Heart of Evolution and Darkness Origin attribute bubbles.

Wang Teng absorbed Heart of Evolution and Darkness Origin attributes inside Starfall Venerable’s body, advancing his Heart of Evolution to Proficient and drawing closer to perfecting his Darkness Origin. He reached the golden mountain barrier around the core region, sensed hidden Darkness Power within it, and activated four constitutions to investigate before crossing.

• Wang Teng absorbed the first waves of Heart of Evolution and Darkness Origin attributes and became eager to press toward the core region.
• Wang Teng’s Heart of Evolution broke through to Proficient, though he was dismayed that reaching the next level required 100,000 attribute points.
• Wang Teng continued collecting attributes and approached the core region, where he found a vast barrier of golden metal mountains.
• Wang Teng detected concealed Darkness Power among the mountains and suspected Gu Guo Demon God had added defensive measures.
• Wang Teng stopped at the barrier’s edge and activated Heart of Darkness, Darkness Body, Mechanical Metal Origin Body, and Five Elements Mechanical Divine Body to sense its power.

Wang Teng entered Starfall Venerable’s golden mountain barrier by adapting his Soul Power to its metal and Darkness attributes, then collected insights that revealed the barrier’s structure. He learned that the mountains formed a soul-locking array and gained an incomplete Entry Level understanding of it as he continued toward the depths.

• Wang Teng used his Mechanical Metal Origin Body and Five Elements Mechanical Divine Body to sense the power in the golden mountains and adapt his Soul Power to it.
• Wang Teng entered the barrier without alerting its dormant Darkness Power, though he felt a faint stabbing pain within it.
• Wang Teng collected Attribute Bubbles that increased his Heart of Evolution attribute and taught him how barriers could combine Soul Power with other forces.
• Wang Teng realized his many abilities could help him construct barriers and saw that Starfall Venerable’s mountain barrier was an array targeting souls.
• Wang Teng gained Entry Level insights into the incomplete Golden Mountain Myriad Peaks Soul Locking Array and looked toward the mountains’ depths for more Attribute Bubbles.

Wang Teng absorbed Soul Essence and Darkness Origin insights from the barrier, restoring his Soul Body and bringing Darkness Origin to completion. He continued toward the core region, collecting more attributes and considering whether he could also complete Bone Source.

• Wang Teng absorbed 15,800 Soul Essence points, repairing much of the damage caused by Gu Guo Demon God's Black Water Domain.
• Wang Teng absorbed the Darkness Origin insights and caused the Darkness Origin Land to descend into his Sea of Consciousness.
• Wang Teng reached ninth-rank completion in Darkness Origin and realized he could wield its power far more smoothly and forcefully.
• Wang Teng speculated that a realm might exist beyond completion and considered whether Gu Guo Demon God's Bone Source could help him complete his own.
• Wang Teng used his improved understanding of the Golden Mountain Myriad Peaks Soul Locking Array to move toward the core region and collected more attributes.

Wang Teng reached the final stretch of the Golden Mountain Myriad Peaks Soul Locking Array and encountered a terrifying winged Skeletal Giant Tiger in the darkness. As he watched from hiding, he spotted Attribute Bubbles in the black mist, giving him a possible way forward.

• Wang Teng gathered Soul Essence and array insights, bringing the Golden Mountain Myriad Peaks Soul Locking Array and Heart of Evolution closer to completion.
• Wang Teng entered the coreward region and sensed divine might and dense Darkness Power ahead, which he suspected came from Gu Guo Demon God.
• Wang Teng saw a massive skeletal tiger head emerge from the black mist and wondered whether the creature was a real skeletal beast or the product of a soul technique.
• Wang Teng saw skeletal wings on the tiger and decided not to attack while Gu Guo Demon God's whereabouts remained unknown.
• Wang Teng spotted Attribute Bubbles within the black mist and saw them as a source of hope.

Wang Teng concealed his Soul Power and entered the black mist surrounding the Skeletal Giant Tiger, adapting his aura to the fused darkness and deathly stillness within. He collected powerful Attribute Bubbles and realized the Darkness Origin insights he absorbed seemed both repetitive and different, leaving him uncertain about their nature.

• Wang Teng transformed his Soul Power into Gu Guo Demon God's Darkness Power and used Time, Space, and Shadow concealment to approach the black mist.
• After discovering that the mist contained a powerful fusion of darkness and deathly stillness, Wang Teng retreated and activated his Nether God Body to match its aura.
• Wang Teng reentered the mist and collected Attribute Bubbles for Heart of Evolution, Golden Mountain Myriad Peaks Soul Locking Array, Soul Essence, Darkness Origin, and Bone Source.
• Wang Teng's Golden Mountain Myriad Peaks Soul Locking Array advanced to 16,800 points, while his Soul Essence rose to 456,000 and his Heart of Evolution reached 31,000.
• Wang Teng absorbed Darkness Origin insights and wondered why they seemed repetitive but not identical.
