Chapter Summaries

Wang Teng confirmed that he had planted contingencies inside the Nightmare Devourer Demon Body and prepared to use the Blood God Clone to attack its cores again. As the three True Gods weakened under the demon body's devouring hands, the Blood God Clone began forming a Nightmare Devourer Brain technique to devour the Darkness Breed Demon Venerables’ consciousness.

• The Immortal Level beings saw the dark hands devouring the power of the three True Gods and looked to Wang Teng, but his attack had not yet produced visible results.

As the Nightmare Devourer Demon Body devoured True God Zhulong and began draining the other two True Gods, Wang Teng finished preparing his countermeasure and drew the monster away by provoking it. He used Light and Space Power alongside his Heart of Calamity talent to drain its Calamity Force, enraging it as it launched another attack against him.

• Wang Teng activated his Heart of Calamity talent and secretly absorbed Calamity Force from the tentacles, enraging the Nightmare Devourer Demon Body.
• The Nightmare Devourer Demon Body sent a net of black tentacles after Wang Teng, trying to seal off his escape routes.

Wang Teng kited and taunted the Nightmare Devourer Demon Body to buy time while the Blood God Clone altered its core, but the demon body devoured two of the three True Gods and began moving toward him.

• Wang Teng sent a voice transmission to the Blood God Clone, who said he was nearly done integrating the runes after using Soul Power to block the heads’ perception.

Wang Teng risked his life to provoke the [Nightmare Devourer Demon Body] while absorbing its Calamity Force, hoping to buy time for the Light Universe’s backup plan. As the dark hand crushed him and his allies feared he would die, Wang Teng announced that the backup had arrived and shouted for it to explode.

• Wang Teng stayed in place and taunted the [Nightmare Devourer Demon Body], making it suspect that he was delaying for a hidden plan.
• Wang Teng activated his fourth-rank [Heart of Calamity] and Devouring Heaven and Earth Divine Power to absorb the creature’s Calamity Force, provoking it into charging at him.

• Old Man Ji, Commander-in-Chief Xing Ce, Luo Fu Te, and the others watched in horror as the dark hand descended, while Wang Teng declared that the backup had arrived and shouted, “Explode!!!”

Wang Teng escaped the Nightmare Devourer Demon Body’s attack when the Blood God Clone disrupted its cores, and he learned that the three True Gods had been swallowed inside it. As the demon body turned its fury on Wang Teng, the Blood God Clone widened the damage to its core connections to counter its mental assault.

• The Nightmare Devourer Demon Body’s cores exploded again, forcing it to withdraw its giant hand and allowing Wang Teng to escape.
• Luo Fu Te supported the badly injured Wang Teng, who told Old Man Ji and the others that the three True Gods’ auras were inside the demon body.
• Wang Teng mocked the demon body as explosions spread across it, then endured its mental attack with the Nine Treasures Floating Slaughter Pagoda.
• The Blood God Clone received Wang Teng’s warning about the demon body’s Soul Power attack and widened the cracks between its cores and heads using the Nightmare Devourer Brain battle skill.

Wang Teng recovered as the Blood God Clone exploited the [Nightmare Devourer Demon Body]’s confusion to keep damaging its cores from within. Believing the damage came from an internal flaw, the creature charged at Wang Teng and the Immortal Level beings, just as three-colored Primal Force erupted from its body.

• The [Nightmare Devourer Demon Body] suffered violent internal explosions, while Wang Teng and the Immortal Level beings watched its body get torn apart.
• Wang Teng absorbed spirit, Primal Force, Life Essence, and Soul Essence Attribute Bubbles to recover from his injuries and exhaustion.
• The Blood God Clone disguised his Mental Power with Wang Teng’s aura and slipped it back into the cores, where it kept severing their connections as the creature tried to repair them.
• The [Nightmare Devourer Demon Body] mistook the Blood God Clone’s power for a flaw in its own fusion and tried to soothe it instead of expelling it.
• Convinced it had identified the cause of the damage, the [Nightmare Devourer Demon Body] charged toward Wang Teng and the Immortal Level beings, who retreated.
• Three-colored Primal Force—white, crimson, and cyan—suddenly erupted from the [Nightmare Devourer Demon Body].

Wang Teng’s explosions disrupted the Nightmare Devourer Demon Body and helped the three True Gods break free, while he pretended to have used a mysterious technique when the Immortal Level fighters questioned him. As the Demon Body’s core turned against the Darkness Breed Demon Venerables within it, the three streams of Primal Force light burst through its wounds.

• The three True Gods’ Light Source, Fire, and Wind Primal Force lights appeared, and the crowd realized Wang Teng’s earlier explosion had given them a chance to escape.
• Wang Teng ordered the Blood God Clone to detonate the cores’ Mental Power, tearing apart the Demon Body’s black net and weakening its hold on the True Gods.

• The three True Gods struggled against black chains as the Darkness Breed Demon Venerables’ opened eyes searched for the culprit, while the Blood God Clone concealed himself.
• The Blood God Clone’s severing of the cores’ connection provoked the Nightmare Devourer Demon Body and the Darkness Breed Demon Venerables into fighting each other within the core region.
• Amid the resulting Dark Calamity storm, the three streams of Primal Force light tore through the black chains and shot out through the Demon Body’s wounds.

Wang Teng helped the three True Gods escape the [Nightmare Devourer Demon Body] and explained that he had disrupted its connection to the Darkness Breed Demon Venerables’ consciousnesses. As the Light Universe’s contingency plan could not be contacted, the [Nightmare Devourer Demon Body] finished devouring the Demon Venerables and unleashed a terrifying transformation.

• The three True Gods broke free from the [Nightmare Devourer Demon Body], though Darkness Calamity Force clung to them and left them weakened.

• Wang Teng asked about the Light Universe’s contingency plan, but the three True Gods said they did not know why it had not activated.
• The Mechanical Race True God, True God Zhulong, and True God Yaofeng tried to contact the contingency plan with their tokens, but they could not reach anyone.
• The [Nightmare Devourer Demon Body] roared as black radiance, strange runes, and Rune Chains erupted around it, and Wang Teng realized it had completely devoured the Darkness Breed Demon Venerables.

As the Nightmare Devourer Demon Body charged after the retreating powerhouses, Wang Teng collected its Attribute Bubbles and recovered much of his strength. The gains perfected his Calamity Will and Supreme Darkness Will and raised his Heart of Calamity to the fifth rank, while the battle remained unresolved.

• The Nightmare Devourer Demon Body charged at the powerhouses, forcing Wang Teng, the three True Gods, and the others to retreat.
• Wang Teng collected Attribute Bubbles and absorbed Life Essence, Soul Essence, and Half-step World Lord Level Spirit, restoring more than half his condition.

• Wang Teng absorbed Calamity Force and Supreme Darkness Power, but both remained at sixth-rank perfection.
• Wang Teng absorbed a large amount of Source of Calamity, improving his constitution and raising his Heart of Calamity to the fifth rank.

Wang Teng discovered that his fifth-tier [Heart of Calamity] could threaten Venerable Immortal Level beings and granted him the concealed [Calamity Seed] and defensive [Calamity Mark] abilities. He also examined battle techniques gained from the [Nightmare Devourer Demon Body] and realized it might be able to improve its own combat-skill mastery.

• Wang Teng considered whether to reveal his [Heart of Calamity] talent, then decided to conceal it unless circumstances forced him to act.
• Wang Teng learned that [Calamity Seed] could be planted inside living beings to absorb Calamity Force and bring calamity, while [Calamity Mark] could resist Calamity Force and other attacks.
• Wang Teng checked his Attribute Panel and found that [Nightmare Devourer Brain] had reached Proficiency Level and [Fusion Demon Transformation] had advanced to the fifth tier.
• Wang Teng realized that [Nightmare Devourer Mouth] had improved to Small Success and could be cast from any part of the body without losing power.
• Wang Teng concluded that the [Nightmare Devourer Demon Body] might have improved its own mastery of combat techniques while fighting the three True Gods.

Wang Teng gained the sixth-rank Nightmare Devourer Space and reasoned that its Calamity Force could accelerate and strengthen Spatial Power. As the Nightmare Devourer Demon Body closed in and the True Gods had no answer, he turned his attention to the Light Universe’s blue radiance for a way out.

• Wang Teng recognized Demon Armor Nightmare Heaven Hand among the Nightmare Devourer Demon Body’s dark giant-hand attacks and considered using multiple arms to wield it before dismissing the idea.
• Wang Teng absorbed a new Space Attribute and gained a sixth-rank, perfect Nightmare Devourer Space that could devour energy and living beings, infect them with calamity, and hasten their digestion.
• Wang Teng concluded that Calamity Force could intensify Spatial Power by accelerating its collapse, and considered testing the combination himself.
• The Nightmare Devourer Demon Body drew closer, while the Immortal Level beings asked the three True Gods what to do and received no answer.
• Wang Teng saw Attribute Bubbles in the blue radiance overhead and decided to seek a solution from the Light Universe’s side.

Wang Teng secretly probed the Light Universe's blue backup-plan barrier and repeatedly injured his soul when it destroyed his Soul-Controlling Ants. By using True Sight Eye to imitate unfamiliar Mechanical Runes and evolve them, he finally sent the ants into the blue light unharmed.

• Wang Teng sent Soul-Controlling Ants into the blue light and discovered its power resembled Mechanical Runes, but it annihilated the ants and injured his soul.
• Wang Teng evolved his Soul Power with Ancient Mechanical Runes and tried again, but the blue light still detected and destroyed his ants.
• Wang Teng told Old Man Ji that his soul had been injured a little and continued investigating why his rune-based concealment had failed.
• Wang Teng realized his Mechanical Runes were insufficient, used True Sight Eye to study unfamiliar runes in the blue light, and evolved imitations of them.
• Wang Teng sent a new group of Soul-Controlling Ants into the blue light, and they moved through it unharmed.

Wang Teng collected Attribute Bubbles from the blue light, mastering more Ancient Mechanical Runes and learning about Mechanical Psionic Energy and the Mechanical Tomb. He left the energy gathered in his Chaos Star Region restless and began looking for a way to keep it dormant until he needed it.

• Wang Teng adjusted his Soul-Controlling Ants to match the changing runes in the blue light and guided them to the first wave of Attribute Bubbles.
• Wang Teng absorbed the Ancient Mechanical Rune insights, raising his proficiency and learning to reproduce the runes directly.
• Wang Teng absorbed Mechanical Psionic Energy and learned through Yuan Gungun that the Mechanical Race had discovered it in the Mechanical Tomb, a forbidden ground where machines were buried.
• Wang Teng examined the restless Tier 6 Mechanical Psionic Energy in his Chaos Star Region and decided to put it into dormancy until he used it.

Wang Teng used his growing knowledge of Ancient Mechanical Runes and Mechanical Psionic Energy to guide his Soul-Controlling Ants through the blue light and collect more Attribute Bubbles. The final bubble flooded his mind with knowledge until he felt it was about to overflow.

• Wang Teng traced Ancient Mechanical Runes to control the Mechanical Psionic Energy in his Chaos Star Region and sent Soul-Controlling Ants into the blue light to collect Attribute Bubbles.
• Wang Teng analyzed the shifting Rune Wall, modeled its structure, and engraved the pattern into his Soul-Controlling Ants so they could move upward in synchronization with the surrounding power.
• Wang Teng's repeated simulations increased his Myriad Manifestations Soul Control Secret Technique to 57,500 points as he continued collecting Attribute Bubbles.
• Wang Teng collected Ancient Mechanical Rune, Mechanical Psionic Energy, and Mechanical Psionic Energy Reactor attributes, raising his Ancient Mechanical Rune mastery to 8,900 and his Mechanical Psionic Energy to 43,000.
• Wang Teng absorbed the final Attribute Bubble, whose immense knowledge made his head feel as if it were about to overflow.

Wang Teng gained incomplete insight into the fifth-rank Mechanical Psionic Energy Reactor and decided to investigate the top of the Rune Wall. As the Nightmare Devourer Demon Body attacked, the Light Universe forces scattered, and the Mechanical Race True God carried Wang Teng away while asking whether he wanted to explore above the blue light.

• Wang Teng discovered that the Rune Wall insight described an incomplete fifth-rank Mechanical Psionic Energy Reactor that could control and unleash Mechanical Psionic Energy.
• The Nightmare Devourer Demon Body attacked the fleeing forces, injuring Immortal Level beings and contaminating them with Darkness Calamity Force; Wang Teng resisted the force while pretending to be badly affected.
• Wang Teng urged the Light Universe forces to split up, and the Mechanical Race True God agreed and took charge of him as the others departed.
• The Mechanical Race True God carried Wang Teng away and asked whether he wanted to investigate what lay above the blue light.

Wang Teng passed through the blue light and discovered that the Light Universe’s trump card was clashing with purple and black forces in the Dark Universe. He realized Black Heaven might be involved, and cautiously sent a Soul-Controlling Ant toward the distant battle to investigate.

• Wang Teng admitted to the Mechanical Race True God that he wanted to investigate the blue light and entrusted his body to it while he focused on the Soul-Controlling Ants.
• Wang Teng guided the Soul-Controlling Ants around the central cylinder and through the blue light, where he saw the enormous cylinder but found no clear source for the Light Universe’s trump card.
• Wang Teng inferred that the trump card might be hidden in the Dark Universe and sent the Soul-Controlling Ants there using Fleeing Light.
• Wang Teng saw the dark blue trump card being suppressed by purple and black lights, which he suspected belonged to Black Heaven and the Nether God Race.
• Wang Teng told the Mechanical Race True God what he had seen, then cautiously moved a Soul-Controlling Ant toward the battle and wondered whether to disguise its aura as Death Nether power.

Wang Teng sent Soul-Controlling Ants toward a battle between light and darkness, but a Mechanical Race expert detected and teleported them to a warship. After identifying himself and learning that the purple-black radiance was a projection of the Nether God Race expert Black Heaven, Wang Teng guessed the Mechanical Race wanted him to sever the projection’s connection to the Darkness Barrier.

• Wang Teng approached the battlefield with Soul-Controlling Ants, but the experts’ pressure stopped them before they could get close.
• An unseen presence froze the ants, and dark blue radiance teleported them to a technological hall.
• A Mechanical Race expert questioned Wang Teng about his Myriad Manifestations: Machine Soul Ant, and Wang Teng claimed he had learned it from a Mechanical Race True God.
• The Mechanical Race expert identified the purple-black radiance as Black Heaven’s projection, sustained by the Darkness Barrier surrounding the Three Great Territories.
• Wang Teng deduced that the Mechanical Race wanted him to sever the projection’s connection to the barrier, and the expert said it valued his power of derivation.

Wang Teng received a Star Chart and a Space Ring from a Mechanical Race powerhouse, then returned to Blazing Radiant True God with them. The ring contained a new mechanical body, and Blazing Radiant transferred his [Heart of Evolution] into it.

• A Mechanical Race powerhouse gave Wang Teng a Space Ring for Blazing Radiant True God and transmitted a Star Chart marking weak points in the Darkness Barrier.
• Wang Teng agreed to try disrupting the Darkness Barrier with Blazing Radiant True God's help and returned to the blue light region with the [Soul-Controlling Ants].

• Blazing Radiant True God opened the Space Ring and found a new mechanical body inside.
• Blazing Radiant True God moved his [Heart of Evolution] into the new body, and Wang Teng confirmed that he had changed bodies successfully.
• Wang Teng told Yuan Gungun he wanted a Mechanical Clone, and Yuan Gungun asked him to get it a mechanical body too.

Wang Teng joined Blazing Radiant True God in a secret operation to address the Darkness Barrier, while True God Yaofeng suspected the others were hiding a plan from him. During teleportation, Wang Teng collected attributes that expanded his understanding of the Heart of Evolution and revealed insights into God Level Mechanical Bodies.

• Blazing Radiant True God told Wang Teng that he would work with him and explained that the Mechanical Race had secretly installed spatial teleportation arrays at weak points in the Darkness Barrier.
• Blazing Radiant True God took Wang Teng through a spatial teleportation array, while True God Zhulong kept watch on True God Yaofeng, who wondered whether the others were trying to hog the credit.
• Wang Teng collected attribute bubbles left by Blazing Radiant True God, gaining Heart of Evolution and God Level Mechanical Body attributes.
• Wang Teng absorbed new Heart of Evolution insights that showed how rare materials were tempered, but he realized his mastery was still too low to forge one.
• Wang Teng recognized that his final new insight concerned the structure of a God Level Mechanical Body.

Wang Teng accompanied Blazing Radiant True God to a flaw in the Darkness Barrier and used his powers to infiltrate it. He reached the flaw and collected insights into the barrier’s runes, preparing to act on what he learned.

• Wang Teng realized that Blazing Radiant True God’s old mechanical body had yielded incomplete God Level Mechanical Body insights because the Nightmare Devourer Demon Body had damaged it.
• Blazing Radiant True God teleported Wang Teng to a barren planet near the Darkness Barrier and carried him there using Divine Hidden Thunder Flash.
• Wang Teng concluded that the Mechanical Race’s highest authorities had chosen him because he could derive Darkness Power, and he asked Blazing Radiant True God to wait for his instructions.
• Wang Teng used his True Sight Eye to locate a flaw, then sent Machine Soul Ants into the Darkness Barrier and concealed them with Supreme Darkness Power.
• Wang Teng derived the aura of the barrier’s Darkness Mist, guided the ants safely to the flaw, and collected Abyssal Barrier and Ancient Darkness Mark attributes.
