Chapter Summaries

Wang Teng used his improved understanding of the Abyssal Barrier and Ancient Darkness Mark to quickly replace runes at its weak points, while Blazing Radiant True God teleported him between locations. After repairing all but the final flaw, they returned to the battlefield and prepared to strike at the barrier's core.

• Wang Teng absorbed enlightenment that raised his Abyssal Barrier and Ancient Darkness Mark attributes, allowing him to identify and replace the barrier's flawed runes.
• Wang Teng and Blazing Radiant True God visited thirty-nine weak points, with Wang Teng rapidly replacing runes and gathering more Abyssal Barrier and Ancient Space Rune attributes.
• Wang Teng decided to repair every flaw so they could better disrupt Black Heaven's projection, and he and Blazing Radiant True God replaced five more weak points.
• Wang Teng and Blazing Radiant True God returned to the battlefield after completing forty-four flaws, leaving only the core location above the darkness stronghold.
• Blazing Radiant True God activated his token, causing the teleportation arrays at the Abyssal Barrier's weak points to light up and Mechanical Race warships to emerge.

Wang Teng investigated the Dark Energy barrier above the blue light, where Black Heaven’s projection and the Light Universe’s contingency plan were connected. He found an unseen force annihilating his Soul-Controlling Ants and eventually discovered an overwhelming mass of runes at the core weak point, leaving him unsure how to replace them.

• Wang Teng sent a Soul-Controlling Ant through the blue light and toward the Dark Energy barrier, while Blazing Radiant True God revealed that it had secretly stored Light Power and Yuan Magnetic Force in the Skybase Balls.
• Wang Teng tested the barrier with Supreme Darkness Power and Death Nether Power, but his first two Soul-Controlling Ants were mysteriously annihilated.
• Wang Teng tried a flanking tactic through thinner areas of the barrier, sacrificing more Soul-Controlling Ants as he painstakingly scouted forward.
• Wang Teng gathered Attribute Bubbles to restore his Soul Essence and kept probing until his Soul-Controlling Ants detected the runes at the core weak point.
• Wang Teng saw that the core weak point contained far more runes than the others and wondered how he could replace them all.

Wang Teng collected rune insights from the Abyssal Barrier, discovered that Ancient Town Runes let his Soul-Controlling Ants resist its suppressive power, and used his growing mastery to replace runes in the barrier. After the long process, he opened his eyes and looked toward Blazing Radiant True God.

• Wang Teng gathered Abyssal Barrier, Ancient Darkness Mark, Ancient Space Rune, and Ancient Death Nether Mark attributes, improving his mastery and spotting a flaw in the rune cluster.
• Wang Teng collected dark Attribute Bubbles and discovered the unfamiliar Ancient Town Rune, whose power could suppress and crush other forces.
• Wang Teng evolved the Ancient Town Rune inside a Soul-Controlling Ant and successfully collected nearby Attribute Bubbles without the ant being destroyed.
• Wang Teng collected the remaining attributes, advancing the Abyssal Barrier to Proficiency Level and the Ancient Death Nether Mark to great success.
• Wang Teng used his rune insights to replace the barrier's runes until its suppressive force no longer affected him, then opened his eyes and looked at Blazing Radiant True God.

Wang Teng and Blazing Radiant True God coordinated attacks on the Abyssal Barrier’s weak points, triggering a chain reaction that shook the Darkness Barrier across the Three Great Territories. As the barrier churned, a furious voice rang out from above the blue radiance, and True God Yaofeng suspected that Black Heaven was still there.

• Wang Teng confirmed that he had finished preparing the runes, and Blazing Radiant True God said the Skybase Ball was ready to attack.
• At Wang Teng’s signal, Blazing Radiant True God fired the Skybase Ball while Mechanical Race warships bombarded more than forty weak points across the Three Great Territories.
• Wang Teng used the Soul-Controlling Ant to reach the Abyssal Barrier, detonated the replaced runes, and let the Yuan Magnetic Divine Light strike the exposed weak point.
• The explosions linked together and sent violent fluctuations through the entire Darkness Barrier, stunning the observers.
• A furious voice called out from above the blue radiance, and True God Yaofeng realized that Black Heaven might still be present.

Wang Teng watched the Mechanical Race powerhouse overpower Black Heaven’s projection as the Abyssal Barrier collapsed across the Three Great Territories. He projected the hidden battle for the gathered Light Universe forces, who watched the projection explode and believed they had won.

• Wang Teng observed Black Heaven’s projection weaken as the Mechanical Race being attacked it in the Dark Universe.
• The Abyssal Barrier and Darkness Barriers across the Three Great Territories collapsed, while Light Universe powerhouses celebrated and questioned whether Black Heaven was truly present.
• Wang Teng projected the battle for the gathered powerhouses, who recognized the opponent as a Nether God Race energy projection resembling Black Heaven.
• The Mechanical Race being struck Black Heaven’s projection with a brilliant beam, causing it to explode as the onlookers shouted that they had won.

The Light Universe celebrated its victory after the Black Heaven projection was destroyed, while Wang Teng tried to stop the fleeing [Nightmare Devourer Demon Body]. A hidden passage opened at the former Demon God Palace site, and a mysterious eyeball appeared before both the vortex and the demon body vanished, leaving Wang Teng unsure what had happened.

• The Black Heaven projection exploded, and True God Zhulong, True God Yaofeng, Blazing Radiant True God, and the Light Universe forces realized they had won.
• Wang Teng identified the [Nightmare Devourer Demon Body] fleeing and watched a powerful force descend to suppress it.
• A black vortex appeared where the Demon God Palace had stood, and Blazing Radiant True God struck it with a white hammer phantom.
• A gigantic, crystal-like eyeball emerged from the vortex, injuring Wang Teng and the other Light Universe experts with its gaze.
• Wang Teng found the [Nightmare Devourer Demon Body] and vortex gone, while the three True God Level beings watched an illusory figure dissipate in the void.

After the Light Universe’s experts erased the black vortex and wiped out the Darkness Breeds, Wang Teng recovered and drew the astonished attention of three True God Level beings. True God Zhulong offered him entry to the Candle Dragon Race’s ancestral ground, and Wang Teng secured the promise in front of witnesses.

• The black vortex vanished, the Darkness Breeds were wiped out, and Wang Teng recovered while the Immortal Level beings remained unable to open their eyes.
• Blazing Radiant True God, True God Yaofeng, and True God Zhulong were shocked that Wang Teng had resisted the eyeball’s Spirit Contamination and examined how badly his Soul Body was hurt.
• Wang Teng refused Blazing Radiant True God’s offer to inspect his soul and received promises of support from both the Mechanical Race and the Candle Dragon Race.
• True God Zhulong offered Wang Teng the chance to temper his body at the Candle Dragon Race’s ancestral ground, and Wang Teng asked Blazing Radiant True God to witness that the offer had no conditions.
• Blazing Radiant True God and True God Yaofeng agreed to witness the promise, leaving True God Zhulong unable to take back his offer.

Wang Teng secured secret realm slots from Blazing Radiant True God and True God Yaofeng after True God Zhulong pressed them to repay his help. Yaofeng hinted that his realm could be dangerous, while the three True Gods turned to the aftermath of the battle and Wang Teng grew wary of Yaofeng’s plans.

• True God Zhulong urged Blazing Radiant True God and True God Yaofeng to offer Wang Teng benefits, and Blazing Radiant True God promised him a secret realm slot.
• True God Zhulong and Blazing Radiant True God reminded True God Yaofeng that Wang Teng had helped them escape the Nightmare Devourer Demon Body, forcing Yaofeng to offer Wang Teng a slot as well.
• True God Yaofeng warned that Wang Teng might gain nothing from his secret realm, but Wang Teng accepted the slot and said he would face whatever awaited him.
• Blazing Radiant True God and True God Zhulong worried that Yaofeng had set a trap, while Wang Teng remained determined to enter the secret realm.
• The three True Gods examined the corrupted Immortal Level beings and recognized that containing the Darkness Power and Calamity Force would be difficult.
• Wang Teng noticed True God Yaofeng pondering the aftermath and wondered what he was planning.

After the battle, Blazing Radiant True God restricted the warriors’ movements aboard a Mechanical Race God-Level Warship while they dealt with their Darkness Calamity contamination. Wang Teng was assigned Room 09 near the True Gods and discovered that it contained abundant Primal Force and Attribute Bubbles.

• Commander-in-Chief Xing Ce, Tianlan Yuanhai Venerable, Candle Demon Venerable, and the other Immortal Level existences reported severe Darkness Calamity contamination of their bodies and souls.
• Blazing Radiant True God ordered everyone to remain together and summoned a Mechanical Race God-Level Warship to confine them while the True Gods discussed a solution.
• Blazing Radiant True God ordered Wang Teng aboard despite his protests, and True God Yaofeng also appeared on the warship under the movement restriction.
• Blazing Radiant True God handed out room tokens, and Wang Teng received number 09, placing him near the three True Gods while the Immortal Level existences were assigned elsewhere.
• Wang Teng entered Room 09 and found a spacious suite filled with dense fluctuations of many kinds of Primal Force and floating Attribute Bubbles.

Wang Teng collected a vast haul of rune insights from the God-Level Mechanical Warship, bringing his Rune Master attainments close to Saint-level Late Stage. After gaining only a small amount of incomplete warship insight, he extended his Mental Power toward the battlefield to collect more Attribute Bubbles, drawing Blazing Radiant True God's attention.

• Wang Teng collected Mechanical and Ancient rune insights from the warship, raising his elemental runes to Small Success, his Mechanical Rune to Perfection, and his Ancient Mechanical Rune to great success.
• Wang Teng saw that his Rune Master attribute had risen to 19,000 and decided to conceal his near-Saint-level Late Stage attainments from outsiders.
• Wang Teng gained only Entry Level insight into the incomplete Mechanical Warship attribute and found no further Attribute Bubbles in the room.
• Wang Teng extended his Mental Power through the window to collect the remaining battlefield Attribute Bubbles outside the warship.
• Blazing Radiant True God sensed Wang Teng's Mental Power and wondered what he intended to do.

Wang Teng surveyed the devastated Sub-Profession Alliance Headquarters and absorbed the battlefield’s attribute bubbles, causing his Chaos Star Region to expand and his Life Essence, Soul Essence, and Spirit to recover. However, fine cracks kept reopening in his Soul Body despite his restored Soul Essence, leaving him unable to explain the damage.

• Wang Teng’s Mental Power reached the Sub-Profession Alliance Headquarters and revealed ruins, corpses, and no sign of the Darkness Breed Void Fortresses or the Nightmare Devourer Demon Body.
• Wang Teng paid silent respects to the fallen Light Universe warriors, then began absorbing the battlefield’s attribute bubbles without taking their Origin Blood Essence.
• Wang Teng absorbed abundant Starry Sky Source Power, triggering another expansion of his Chaos Star Region and deepening his understanding of how its elemental Source Runes worked.
• Wang Teng absorbed Half-step World Lord Level Spirit, Life Essence, and Soul Essence, expanding his Chaos Star Region further and restoring all three attributes to their displayed maximums.
• Wang Teng discovered that cracks in his Soul Body remained and reopened after briefly healing, so he continued absorbing attributes while postponing the search for an explanation.
• Wang Teng gained five points of Luck, bringing his Luck attribute to 55.

Wang Teng collected a large number of Luck and Appearance attributes, discovered that greater luck weakened the Calamity Force within him, and advanced many of his Will attributes. The improvements strengthened and completed his Soul Body, leaving him wondering whether he needed to create a Chaos Soul Secret Technique to develop Chaos Will.

• Wang Teng collected more than ten Luck attributes from the void, raising his Luck to 63 and noticing that the Calamity Force in his body had weakened.
• Wang Teng gathered two more Luck points, bringing his total to 65, but remained unsure who had dropped them.
• Wang Teng raised his Appearance to 163 and saw that his looks and temperament had gained a trace of divinity.
• Wang Teng found that his Five Elements Will and several other Will attributes had reached fifth-rank completion, including Lightning Will and Poison Intent.
• Wang Teng's combined Willpower insights tempered his Soul Body, making it more resilient and giving it a sense of completeness.
• Wang Teng considered evolving his intent into Chaos Will and wondered whether he needed to create a Chaos Soul Secret Technique, but the system offered no fusion option.

Wang Teng failed to fuse [Chaos Will] and concluded that he would need to seek more Soul Secret Techniques to comprehend the [Chaos Soul Secret Technique]. He discovered that strengthening Will had slightly healed his Soul Body and reviewed the many light- and darkness-type Wills he had gained, leaving him eager to collect the remaining Attribute Bubbles from powerful projections.

• Wang Teng failed to use the system to fuse [Chaos Will] and decided to pursue the [Chaos Soul Secret Technique] gradually by gathering more Soul Secret Techniques.
• Wang Teng noticed that his Soul Body had recovered slightly as his Wills strengthened, though he realized meaningful healing would require major breakthroughs.
• Wang Teng found that Luo Fu Te's [Ancient Poison Butterfly Will] had reached the sixth order.
• Wang Teng discovered that [Death Nether Will] had reached sixth-order perfection, while [Ancient Darkness Will] remained sixth order and several other darkness-type Wills reached fifth-order perfection.
• Wang Teng found that [Gluttony Will] had advanced to the sixth order and [Nightmare Devourer Will] had improved substantially, while he missed the Blood Race's Will attributes.
• Wang Teng suspected that the lingering Attribute Bubbles from the Black Heaven projection and the strange eyeball might contain seventh-order Wills, and resolved to wait until he could collect them.

Wang Teng absorbed the battlefield’s attributes, mastering Man and Sword as One at World Lord Level perfection and gaining expanded special spaces and millions of Blank Attributes. He ended with over five million Blank Attributes, though he doubted they would be enough to create the World Lord Level Chaos Star Art.

• Wang Teng absorbed insights that raised Man and Sword as One to World Lord Level perfection, allowing him to wield it freely and potentially kill ordinary Immortal Level beings.
• Wang Teng found that Space Shard and Abyss Fragment had expanded, and he sensed that the Abyss contained a difficult-to-comprehend forbidden power resembling the Abyssal Barrier’s power.
• Wang Teng discovered that Gluttony Space had reached sixth rank, while Nightmare Devourer Space had not improved.
• Wang Teng gained more than four million Blank Attributes from battlefield Star Beasts, bringing his total above five million.
• Wang Teng considered using his Blank Attributes to create the World Lord Level Chaos Star Art, but suspected the total might still be insufficient.

Wang Teng absorbed a large haul of battlefield attributes, mastering several languages and gaining Artifact Spirit Soul and Dark Array Spirit points. He shared some Artifact Spirit Soul with three weapons, while Purgatory celebrated its sudden increase in strength.

• Wang Teng absorbed the language attributes, completing Dark Language and Universal Language and advancing Nether God Ancient Language to the Proficient stage.
• Wang Teng realized that Dark Language could taint souls and that Nether God Ancient Language carried Death Nether intent, and he wondered whether Black Heaven had spoken the latter.
• Wang Teng discovered 188 Artifact Spirit Soul points and considered using them to develop his weapons into god-level artifacts.
• The Dark Demon Evil Winged Tiger and Shadow Sword craved the Artifact Spirit Soul, so Wang Teng gave some to the Shadow Sword, Thunderclap Brick, and Nine Dragons Thunder Joy Furnace.
• Wang Teng found 52,500 Dark Array Spirit points, and Purgatory excitedly asked why he had received so many.

Wang Teng rewarded Purgatory for helping him deal with the Dark Purgatory Formation, then examined the Mechanical Race and rune attributes he had gained. He left with improved mechanical enlightenment and several stronger runes, including the complete Proficiency Level Skybase Ball.

• Wang Teng gave Purgatory its reward and ignored its grateful reaction, while Purgatory resolved to serve its master well.
• Wang Teng reviewed his Mechanical Race attributes and absorbed improved enlightenment for the Immortal Mechanical Body, God Level Mechanical Body, and Mechanical Battleship.
• Wang Teng discovered that his Skybase Ball had advanced to Proficiency Level with complete enlightenment, which he suspected came from Blazing Radiant True God pushing it to its limits.
• Wang Teng absorbed Ancient Blood Rune enlightenment and raised the rune to great success, likely from the destroyed Blood Nightmare Demon Body.
• Wang Teng improved his Ancient Phoenix Rune and Ancient Sound Rune, then brought the Ancient Wave Rune, Ancient Illusion Rune, and Ancient Sloth Rune to the peak of Proficiency Level.

Wang Teng absorbed insights from the Poison Nightmare Demon Body and the destroyed Dark Purgatory Formation, greatly improving his poison, rune, and formation knowledge. He discovered that the Moth Demon Race Void Fortress had survived, leaving its triangular structure and poison array only partly understood.

• Wang Teng gained deeper mastery of Strange Domain Nether Wave, Illusion Sloth Calamity Void, and three Poison Power runes, including insights that could help him cultivate saint-level Gu insects and identify Moth Demon Race weaknesses.
• Wang Teng completed his understanding of the Dark Purgatory Formation and marveled at its immense, still-unknown level and complete form.
• Wang Teng improved his understanding of the Moth Demon Race's Triangular Rune Structure, but the insight remained incomplete.
• Wang Teng advanced his Moth Demon Poison Heaven Great Array insight and realized the Moth Demon Race Void Fortress had not been destroyed.

Wang Teng absorbed new formation, Poison Master, and battle technique insights from the recent conflict. He improved his Holy Light Wings and Space Collapse techniques, but remained just short of advancing Holy Light Wings to the next rank.

• Wang Teng gained major insights into the Saint-level Seventh Tribulation Dark Mist Phoenix Moth Great Array and improved the Golden Armor Azure Wave Great Array to Small Success.
• Wang Teng's Poison Master attainment rose to 15,000 points, and he considered visiting the Sub-Profession Alliance Headquarters to study its inheritances.
• Wang Teng's Holy Light Wings reached 38,500 points at Fourth Rank, leaving it 1,500 points short of advancing, and he found no more attributes to collect.
• Wang Teng absorbed further Space Collapse insights, filling its Entry Level attribute to 30,000 points and gaining spatial and temporal understanding.

Wang Teng absorbed God Level combat technique insights from True God Yaofeng, Blazing Radiant True God, and others, improving several skills and completing his understanding of Heavenly Absolute Divine Void Storm. He reflected on his growing mastery of spear techniques before discovering that Yuan Magnetic Divine Light had advanced to Proficiency Level, where Starfall Venerable’s insights began in a technological room.

• Wang Teng learned that Space Collapse integrated Space Power and Time Power, and gained enough insight to unleash roughly ten percent of its power.
• Wang Teng absorbed True God Yaofeng’s insights into Heavenly Absolute Divine Wind Saber and completed his understanding of Heavenly Absolute Divine Void Storm, though both remained at Proficiency Level.
• Wang Teng absorbed Blazing Radiant True God’s insights into Divine Hidden Thunder Flash, Myriad Phenomena: Extreme Void Blast, and Myriad Phenomena: Machine Soul Ant, with no breakthroughs in mastery.
• Wang Teng gained further insight into Candle Dragon Melting Sun Spear and Golden God Sky Splitting Spear, then considered creating an identity as a spear Dao genius.
• Wang Teng discovered that Yuan Magnetic Divine Light had advanced to Proficiency Level and entered Starfall Venerable’s insight, which began in a room filled with instruments as a mechanical voice announced, “Begin!”

Wang Teng witnessed Starfall Venerable receiving Yuan Magnetic Divine Light enlightenment through the Mechanical Race’s programmed transmission method and learned that it required a mysterious resonance. He also saw that all his Calamity Demon Bodies had reached great success, leaving him eager to condense and fuse them himself, though he planned to experiment later.

• Wang Teng realized the Enlightenment Scene showed Starfall Venerable having knowledge forcibly transmitted into his mind, and he asked Yuan Gungun how the Mechanical Race absorbed enlightenment.
• Yuan Gungun explained that the Mechanical Race could use programmed transmission after forming a resonance, though he did not know the details because the method was a secret of its upper ranks.
• Wang Teng saw that his Yuan Magnetic Divine Light comprehension had risen from skilled to Proficiency Level.
• Wang Teng found that every Calamity Demon Body attribute had reached great success and considered condensing a Calamity Demon Body himself.
• Wang Teng decided he would test the technique in secret, possibly in the Darkness World, and contemplated fusing the growth-type Calamity Demon Bodies without risking the method used by Soul Eater Demon Venerable.
