Chapter Summaries

Tang San confronted three mutated, ninety-thousand-year Thousand Jun Ant Emperors and learned how the brothers had risen to power by hunting Ant Queens. He began testing his strength against them, but their opening attempt to use his Blue Silver Grass to drag him apart failed.

• Tang San recognized that the three enormous Thousand Jun Ants were mutated Ant Emperors nearing the Hundred Thousand Year Level.
• The chapter recounted how the three brothers escaped their colony, killed Ant Queens to grow stronger, and returned to the Star Dou Great Forest after Da Ming and Er Ming disappeared.
• The brothers claimed the lakeside cultivation ground as their own and ordered Thousand Jun Ant colonies to deliver Ant Queens for them to eat.
• Tang San activated his Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul and divine power, applying pressure to the three Ant Emperors before binding them with Blue Silver Grass.
• The Ant Emperors pulled together on the grass to tear Tang San apart, but they only dragged him a short distance despite their immense combined strength.

Tang San tested the Thousand Jun Ant Emperors’ strength and discovered that Gravity Control could make the Clear Sky Hammer enormously heavy, while the Eight Spider Lances could absorb and reflect impact. He began using the Eight Spider Lances to restrain the brothers, leaving their defeat in progress as he prepared for his coming battle with Yun Qi.

• The three Thousand Jun Ant Emperors increased their strength and dragged Tang San, who calculated the scale of their combined power before using Gravity Control on the Clear Sky Hammer to fling them back.
• Tang San realized Gravity Control could make the Clear Sky Hammer weigh hundreds of thousands of jin, then watched the Ant Emperors launch a coordinated charge by sensing his landing through the ground.
• Tang San blocked two charging Ant Emperors with the hammer and took the third’s impact on his back, discovering that the Eight Spider Lances dispersed the force and reflected scorching damage.
• Tang San avoided attacking the Ant Emperor that was still paralyzed, recognizing that the brothers’ coordination made them difficult to separate and that their strength was now restrained.
• Tang San struck the paralyzed Ant Emperor with the Eight Spider Lances, then wrapped it in Devouring Black Silk as its shell resisted the initial attack.

Tang San defeated the three Thousand Jun Ant Emperors with his evolved Eight Spider Lances and absorbed the energy they drained from them. When their three Spirit Rings converged on his Clear Sky Hammer, he chose to absorb them all at once, leaving his demigod body struggling to withstand the immense energy.

• Tang San's Devouring Black Silk bound and corroded the three Thousand Jun Ant Emperors, while the Eight Spider Lances' God-tier Man Faced Demon Spider aura suppressed them and prevented their escape.
• Tang San absorbed the energy devoured from the Thousand Jun Ant Emperors, discovering that the Eight Spider Lances purified it into energy he could directly fuse with his Soul Power.

• All three Spirit Rings converged on Tang San's Clear Sky Hammer, and he chose to absorb them simultaneously rather than abandon them.
• The Clear Sky Hammer suppressed the three Spirit Rings' energy and forced it into Tang San, whose Mysterious Heaven Skill and Eight Spider Lances helped him resist as the force strained his body.

Tang San mastered the Great Sumeru Hammer by confronting and absorbing the three Thousand Jun Ant Emperor Spirit Rings through sheer force, winning the Clear Sky Hammer's recognition. He survived the damage, began restoring his body, and released an aura that drove spirit beasts away from the center of the Star Dou Great Forest.

• Tang San repeatedly struck the energy from the three Thousand Jun Ant Emperor Spirit Rings with his own fused power, suffering severe damage as he suppressed and assimilated it.

• Qian Renxue detected Tang San’s move and released a powerful divine pressure that made him unsteady.

• Tang San, unable to continue attacking, turned away and fled into the Star Dou Great Forest.

After Tang San escaped Qian Renxue by hiding his aura among the Blue Silver Grass, her divine-sense scans failed to find him, so she waited at the forest’s center and watched for him to leave. Tang San reached the edge of the Star Dou Great Forest but realized her scans prevented him from escaping, leaving him trapped and searching for a way forward.

• Tang San reached the forest’s edge but stopped when Qian Renxue’s divine sense continued sweeping beyond it, trapping him inside.

• After a day of searching the Star Dou Great Forest, Qian Renxue found Tang San waiting for her and took the Mutated Clear Sky Hammer with her.

• Qian Renxue and Tang San collided amid golden and black flames, destroying Blue Silver Grass and shattering Tang San's third ring as he was blasted through the forest.
• Tang San spat burning black blood and flew a thousand meters, but Qian Renxue sensed that he had limited his injuries by using his momentum to dissipate her divine power.

• Qian Renxue judged Tang San a future threat and tried to stop him as he repeatedly charged her, sacrificing spirit rings and drawing on the Eight Spider Lances to withstand her Angel God Power.
• Tang San’s fifth strike blasted Qian Renxue backward, but she answered his sixth attack with an Angel Sword as he summoned the Mutated Clear Sky Hammer and shattered three more spirit rings.

• Tang San insisted that the wager was not over, pulled himself from the ravine, and ate recovery sausages made by Oscar.
• Tang San’s Crystal Caterpillar Sausage rapidly healed his injuries and restored his body, astonishing Qian Renxue.

Tang San recovered with Oscar’s Crystal Caterpillar Sausage, revealed his Clear Sky Hammer and discovered that its three newest spirit rings had mutated into hundred-thousand-year rings.

• Qian Renxue hesitated to kill Tang San, then let him leave and gave him three days before she pursued him with the Angel God's full power.

• Qian Renxue used True Sun Fire to catch up with Tang San underground, but Tang San dived deeper to make her pursuit consume more divine power.

As her attack engulfed him deep beneath the earth, Tang San detonated all eight remaining Blue Silver Grass spirit rings and prepared to withstand the blow.
