Chapter Summaries

Duotian’s Clan of Corruption resisted the Primordial World Beings’ advance through the Blood Sea, using their knowledge of the terrain and coordinated attacks to inflict heavy losses. After learning that the Earth Dao World had blocked the Yellow Springs Road and counterattacked with Ancestral Witches, Duotian chose to hold the Blood Sea and await the Abyss Space Rift’s full opening.

• The Clan of Corruption used intelligent fallen members to coordinate ambushes in the Blood Sea and slow the Primordial World Beings’ advance.
• A messenger reported to Duotian that the Earth Dao World had occupied the Yellow Springs Road and that its primordial beings had counterattacked into the Blood Sea.
• Duotian recognized the primordial beings as Ancestral Witches and ordered his clan to stop attacking the Earth Dao World unless they entered the Blood Sea in force.
• Duotian decided to hold the Blood Sea until the Abyss Space Rift fully opened, then dismissed the messenger and resumed cultivating.

Luohu completed his arrangements across the Western Continent with help from Hongjun and the others, as Calamity Qi and demonic qi spread throughout the region. After the group departed to prepare for the coming Kalpa of Calamity, the Witch Clan continued to hold back the Clan of Corruption at the border of the Blood Sea and the Yellow Springs.

• Hongjun observed that Luohu’s plan had brought chaos to the West and said the Kalpa of Calamity might bless Luohu’s authority as its spokesperson.
• Luohu admired how Di Kun and Shen Yuan’s arrangements had been implemented across the Western Continent, despite suspecting they might involve karmic ties and traps.
• Luohu thanked Hongjun, Yang Mei, and the others for their help and promised to support them and suppress the Kalpa of Calamity.
• Hongjun, Yang Mei, and the others left for their Dao fields to prepare, while Luohu watched them depart and then vanished.
• The Witch Clan suppressed the Clan of Corruption whenever its members tried to cross the blockade between the Blood Sea and the Yellow Springs.
• The Clan of Corruption abandoned attempts to break through with its members and sent more forces to other parts of the Blood Sea.

The Ancestral Witches debated whether to join the Kalpa of Calamity or remain in the Earthly Dao World to guard it. Xuan Ming identified the Abyss aura as evidence of an entrance inside the world and drove home the need to defend their home.

• Zhu Rong and Gonggong urged Di Jiang and the other Ancestral Witches to let the Witch Clan join the fighting in the Western Continent.
• Ju Mang and Di Jiang argued that the Witch Clan had to protect the newly formed Earthly Dao World and its Reincarnation from the Abyss and the Three Thousand Gods and Demons.
• Zhu Rong dismissed the Abyss aura as something that had drifted in from the Blood Sea, while Xuan Ming grew angry at him and Gonggong.
• Xuan Ming froze Zhu Rong and Gonggong, kicked them out of Pangu Hall, and explained that the aura came from an Abyss entrance somewhere inside the Earthly Dao World.

Houtu and Di Jiang explained that the Witch Clan should wait for the Abyss to invade the Earth Path World, giving them a chance to defend it and make their strength known. Zhu Rong and Gong Gong were eager to fight but were warned to protect the clan’s reputation, and Candle Dragon and Di Jiang planned to train them after the meeting.

• Xuan Ming reprimanded Zhu Rong and Gong Gong for relying on force instead of thought, and they stood silently under his glare.
• Houtu calmed Xuan Ming and said the Witch Clan needed an opportunity to demonstrate its strength and uphold Father God's glory.
• Houtu revealed that the Abyss’s aura had appeared in the Earth Path World and predicted that it would eventually be invaded.
• Di Jiang agreed that the Witch Clan should guard its territory and wait for the invasion, since no other race there could defend the world as well.
• Di Jiang warned Zhu Rong and Gong Gong not to disgrace the Witch Clan, and he and Candle Dragon planned to spar with them after the meeting.

The Kalpa of Calamity intensified as Abyssal aura and the Blood Sea’s Turbid Qi fueled slaughter across the Western Territory and the Clan of Corruption. The Primordial Wilderness sensed that the calamity’s most dangerous final stage had begun ahead of time, prompting its beings to make their last preparations.

• Across the Western Territory, Turbid Qi spread through the fighting and drove weaker beings into relentless slaughter as Abyssal creatures entered through increasingly stable Space Rifts.
• Powerful cultivators guarding their clans recognized the calamity’s severity, and weaker races fled to stronger domains seeking protection.
• Shen Yuan watched Abyssal aura pour into the Blood Sea and awaken its accumulated Turbid Qi, which intensified the sea’s eruption and the Clan of Corruption’s growth.
• Duotian understood that the Clan of Corruption’s surge was a final eruption that would end when the Blood Sea’s Turbid Qi and polluted Essence Blood ran out.
• The Primordial Wilderness released a ripple signaling that the Abyss Calamity had entered its final stage early, and the Primordial World Beings began their final preparations.

The Abyss grew rapidly as Chaos Gods and Demons prepared to use the coming Kalpa of Calamity to leave it, while Karma and Fate failed to divine its future. The Abyss then opened a vast passage into the Primordial Wilderness, bringing the great battle to its brink.

• Karma observed the Abyss expanding from the foul energies pouring into it and sensed its authority over the Abyss diminishing as the Abyss grew stronger.
• Karma, Fate, and Shichen failed to foresee the Abyss's future and abandoned their divination rather than risk another backlash.
• The Abyss trembled, and its aura surged from the Space Rifts on the Western Continent, forcing the rifts to merge into a massive spatial passageway.
• The Primordial World Beings recognized that the most dangerous moment of the Kalpa of Calamity had arrived, while Innate Gods and Demons emerged from seclusion and rushed west.

Shen Yuan expanded and fractured the Abyss, evacuated its inhabitants into the Primordial Continent, and severed the passage connecting the realms. Stranded in the later stages of the Kalpa of Calamity, Causality and the Chaos Gods and Demons prepared for a final battle against the Innate Gods and Demons.

• The Chaos Gods and Demons entered Shen Yuan's spatial passage to the Primordial Wilderness, followed by Causality, Fate, and Shichen.
• After they left, Shen Yuan caused the Abyss to expand rapidly and break apart, driving its creatures toward the passage.
• Shen Yuan fused the Abyss source Dao Fruit into the Abyss and severed its connection to the Primordial Wilderness after all its inhabitants had escaped.
• The Chaos Gods and Demons in the Primordial Continent found they could no longer return to the Abyss and realized Shen Yuan had likely emptied it.
• Causality told the Chaos Gods and Demons that they had no retreat and must fight with all their strength.
• The Chaos Gods and Demons led their Abyssal creatures toward different locations to confront the Innate Gods and Demons gathering across the Primordial Wilderness.

The Three Pure Ones considered joining the Kalpa of Calamity, but Laozi sensed overwhelming danger and forbade it. As Lei Ze traveled west, the Thunder Demon God Lei Ting ambushed him, and Lei Ze struggled against his superior mastery of the Great Dao of Thunder.

• Yuanshi urged Laozi and Tongtian to use the Kalpa of Calamity to make the Three Pure Ones renowned, and Tongtian eagerly agreed.
• Laozi sensed that the calamity held immense peril and told Yuanshi and Tongtian that they could not take part.
• Lei Ze stopped on his journey west when the Thunder Demon God Lei Ting appeared and challenged him.
• Lei Ting's black lightning overpowered Lei Ze's purple lightning, injuring him and driving him into a fierce battle.
• Lei Ze's understanding of the Great Dao of Thunder grew as he fought, but his aura weakened and he neared defeat.

Lei Ze struggled against the Thunder Demon God Lei Ting, whose mastery of the Great Dao of Thunder had left him near defeat. Under pressure, Lei Ze forged a Thunder Dao of his own and, after recovering, surprised Lei Ting by saluting him as a disciple.

• Lei Ze fought Lei Ting and drew on the Primordial Wilderness, but Lei Ting's deeper mastery of thunder kept him at a disadvantage.
• Facing death, Lei Ze gained strength and insight as ownerless Fortune gathered around him.
• Lei Ze studied their battles and forged a Great Dao of Thunder unique to himself and the Primordial World.
• Lei Ting sensed that his thunder authority could no longer suppress or take control from Lei Ze, so he stopped attacking and prepared for a counterattack.
• After recovering, Lei Ze gave Lei Ting the formal salute of a disciple.

Lei Ze revealed that his transformed Great Dao of Thunder belonged to the Primordial Wilderness and its Heavenly Dao, leaving Thunder Demon God unable to control his own authority. Thunder Demon God conceded defeat and dissipated, while his primordial soul escaped and Lei Ze gained a complete Dao Fruit of the Great Dao of Thunder.

• Thunder Demon God sensed a fatal threat from Lei Ze and retreated as their Great Daos could no longer affect each other.
• Lei Ze explained that the Primordial Wilderness was not Hundun and that its Heavenly Dao required its own Great Dao.
• Thunder Demon God admitted defeat and asked who had helped Lei Ze, and Lei Ze named Xuan as the Heavenly Dao's agent.
• Thunder Demon God ended their Causality and began to collapse as Lei Ze absorbed his incomplete Great Dao of Thunder.
• Thunder Demon God’s primordial soul fled under protection, and Lei Ze bowed as a complete Dao Fruit of the Great Dao of Thunder appeared.

Wen Xuan completed the Chaos Gods and Demons Stone Wall by gathering the fallen beings’ remnant souls, and Pangu’s will awakened and returned to it. The Heavenly Dao brought the murals to life, while the unfinished scenes of the ongoing Kalpa of Calamity continued to shift.

• Wen Xuan watched remnant souls from across the Primordial Wilderness merge into the Chaos Gods and Demons Stone Wall, completing it.
• Pangu’s will awakened through Pangu’s Heart, and the Ancestral Witches bowed to him as Father God before he flew toward the Pangu Jade Stone.
• Pangu’s will entered the stone wall, animating its depictions of the Chaos Gods and Demons, Pangu opening the heavens, and the creation of the Primordial Wilderness.
• The Heavenly Dao of the Primordial Land infused the murals with its will, bringing their depictions of the world’s history to life and adding an incomplete mural of the current Kalpa of Calamity.
• Wen Xuan saw Lei Ze and other Innate Gods and Demons defeat Chaos Gods and Demons, then reach the Realm of Grand Unity Dao Fruit after their Great Daos became complete.

Wen Xuan used the fall of the Chaos Gods and Demons to weaken his karmic shackles, studied the Primordial Wilderness’s course, and sent Mana into a rift to the Abyss. Meanwhile, the Western Continent’s war continued, and Tun led the Devouring Race toward the battlefield to accelerate their growth.

• Wen Xuan simulated the Primordial Wilderness with stolen Heavenly Dao power and realized Shen Yuan's Dao Fruit had nearly gone wrong.
• Wen Xuan opened a rift to the Abyss, then watched the Primordial Jade Lotus nourish the black-and-white intelligences in a grotto-heaven on Mount Zhou.
• Wen Xuan turned his attention to the Western Continent, where Abyssal creatures and the Ferocious Beast clan fought the Primordial World Beings.
• Tun told the Abyss's sages that his Devouring Race should bring its strongest members to the battlefield and lead the others in gathering remains.
• The Abyss's sages agreed, and Tun sent his clansmen toward the battlefield while establishing the Devouring Race's reputation.

As the Western Continent fell into chaos, Luohu said he had his own plans while the northern races fought together against the other forces. After Yuqi spotted an immense aura approaching, the newly arrived Abyss Devouring Race stunned the gathered Primordial World Beings with its size and strength.

• Hongjun warned Luohu that the Western Continent was in chaos, but Luohu said the calamity had little to do with them and hinted at his own arrangements.
• The northern races advanced together, with the Winged People scouting and supporting, the Elves healing and attacking, and the Goblins evolving rapidly through battle.
• Yuqi sensed a vast aura approaching, alerted the Elf Empress, and led the Winged People into the fight.
• The northern creatures ended their battle just before the immense aura reached them, and fighting on the other battlefields also drew to a close.
• The Abyss Devouring Race appeared in force, and the Primordial World Beings feared its members’ powerful auras and immense bodies.

The Devouring Race joined the war across the Western Continent, overwhelming many Primordial World Beings as the battlefield’s destruction opened rifts and spread the Clan of Corruption. With Abyssal reinforcements exhausted, the remaining Abyssal forces regrouped under their sages and prepared to attack the strongest battlefields.

• The Stone People and War Ancient Trees rooted themselves in the earth, then the Stone People unleashed a sandstorm and fought the charging Devouring Race while Abyssal creatures slipped past them toward the rear defenses.
• The Dragon-Phoenix-Kirin and other top races fought the Devouring Race on other fronts, where the Primordial World Beings suffered heavy losses as Abyssal forces fed and grew stronger.
• The Clan of Corruption spread from the Blood Sea after the Western Continent cracked, tipping battles toward the Abyssal creatures and driving the Primordial World Beings into retreat on most fronts.
• The prolonged war opened a bottomless rift and more fractures across the Western Continent, while the Abyssal creatures’ advance into the Primordial Wilderness cut off further reinforcements from the Abyss.
• As Abyssal numbers dwindled, the Primordial World Beings counterattacked the Clan of Corruption, forcing it to contract its defenses and leaving the Devouring Race fighting on some distant fronts.
• The Abyssal sages left the rear, won victories on weaker battlefields, gathered the remaining Abyssal forces, and prepared a general assault on the strongest fronts.

Shen Yuan watched the Abyss World contract as its origin flowed through Space Rifts into the Primordial Wilderness, strengthening the Western Continent. Meanwhile, the Primordial World Beings and the Abyssal creatures gathered for their final battle as the Kalpa of Calamity engulfed the Western Continent.

• Shen Yuan maintained the Abyss World with his Dao Fruit as Space Rifts opened and its origin began flowing into the Primordial Wilderness.
• Shen Yuan reflected on his journey, Luohu, and the Great Dao as the Abyss World rapidly shrank.
• The Three Paths of the Primordial Wilderness refined the Abyss origin, strengthening the world and giving the Western Continent a brief respite.
• The wiser Abyssal creatures gathered for a final assault, while the Dragon-Phoenix-Kirin and other top races defeated their enemies at great cost.
• The top races, northern beings, and other Primordial World Beings united and advanced toward the Abyssal creatures as the Kalpa of Calamity darkened the Western Continent.

Tun led the Devouring Race in using Heaven Devour against the Primordial World Beings, while the Dragon Race, Qilin Race, and Stone People fought to hold back its power. The Devouring Race’s ability began to collapse under the energy it had consumed, but Tun could not stop it without leaving the other Abyssal races exposed, and both sides prepared for a final assault.

• Tun led the Devouring Race in unleashing Heaven Devour, swallowing corpses, spiritual energy, and Primordial World Beings.
• The War Ancient Tree anchored itself to the Earth Veins and used its vines to save beings caught in the devouring force.
• Ancestor Dragon led the Dragon Race in sending a water dragon into Heaven Devour’s mouth, shielding the other Primordial World Beings.
• Beginning Qilin and Lei led the Qilin Race and Stone People in channeling earth Mana, sending mud Qilins into the water dragon to strengthen it.
• The Devouring Race’s shadow began to shake and its members began cracking from the excess energy, but Tun pressed on because stopping would leave the other Abyssal races vulnerable.
• The Abyssal creatures and Primordial World Beings gathered their strength and prepared for a final all-out assault.

Ancestor Dragon unleashed the Ten Thousand Dragons Return to the Nest array and defeated the Devouring Race, though the battle devastated the surrounding worlds and exhausted the Dragon Race. The wounded survivors were pulled beneath ancient trees as fighting continued across the battlefield and the Bottomless Fissure began to repair itself.

• As the Devouring Race and Dragon Race weakened, Ancestor Dragon decided to end the battle before his allies were lost.
• Ancestor Dragon formed the Ten Thousand Dragons Return to the Nest array, gathered the Dragon Pearls of countless dragons, and fired a beam of Hundun light at the Devouring Race.
• The Devouring Race countered with its racial talent, and their attacks collided, tearing open the sky and splitting the earth while twelve figures contained the turmoil in the Earth Dao World.
• Ancestor Dragon's attack broke the Devouring Race's divine ability and destroyed most of its members, leaving only a few survivors unable to fight.
• The exhausted Dragon Race fell from the sky, and emerald vines carried the dragons beneath ancient trees.
• Primordial World Beings and Abyssal creatures began fighting above the Bottomless Fissure as falling stars and intermingled energies accompanied its repair.

After the Western Continent was devastated, Luohu received a message from Shen Yuan and allowed Hongjun, Yang Mei, and the others to act freely once the Kalpa of Calamity ended. Luohu then retrieved a black lotus and vanished from Mount Sumeru.

• Hongjun, Yang Mei, and the others considered restoring the Western Continent to recover their origins and Fortune, but refrained from interfering with Luohu's plans.
• Luohu worried that severing the Causality of the Chaos Gods and Demons had damaged his origin and that the Dragon Race and the Abyss had destroyed his battlefield contingencies and formations.
• A message from Shen Yuan stirred in Luohu's sea of consciousness and then dissipated, leaving information in his mind.
• Luohu told Hongjun, Yang Mei, and the others they could act as they pleased after the Kalpa of Calamity ended, and they left Mount Sumeru to prepare.
• Luohu summoned a black lotus, returned it to his body, and vanished from Mount Sumeru.
• On Mount Sumeru, a towering ancient tree and a dark green bamboo briefly swayed toward a direction before resuming their cultivation.

After the Western Continent’s devastation was cleansed and its dead were guided toward the Earth Dao World, Luohu secretly absorbed the chaos and ruin at the final battlefield. He then announced that he would destroy the Abyss World with the World-Destroying Black Lotus to restore the Primordial Wilderness.

• Merit descended over the Western Continent, cleansing the remnants of the dead, while members of the Witch Clan guided them toward the Earth Dao World.
• The Witch Clan and Earthly Dao cultivators stayed to absorb Turbid Qi and help restore the Western Continent.
• Luohu hesitated at the final battlefield, then resolved to pursue the Great Dao and let the World-Destroying Black Lotus absorb the energies of ruin.
• Hongjun and Qiankun observed Luohu from afar, mistook his actions for efforts to restore the Western Continent, and left.
• Luohu announced that he would use the World-Destroying Black Lotus to destroy the Abyss World and make the Primordial Wilderness whole.

Luohu used the World-Destroying Black Lotus to destroy the Abyss, absorb its Dao Fruit and origins, and gain Great Dao Merit. After the lotus began regenerating around him, the Eye of the Great Dao prepared to leave, and Luohu raised his hand toward it.

• The World-Destroying Black Lotus entered the Abyss, where beings across the Primordial Wilderness witnessed the Abyss’s desires and Space Rifts.
• The black lotus transformed into the World-Destroying Grinding Mill and began consuming the Abyss, converting its baleful aura and desire into Creation origin.
• As the Abyss collapsed, Luohu gained its origins and comprehended its laws while the Eye of the Great Dao watched.
• The Abyss Dao Fruit and its origin were swallowed by the grinding mill, which produced a Nascent Dao Fruit and more world origin for Luohu.
• An unknown expert took the World-Destroying Black Lotus’s seven-colored seed, while its repaired seedpod returned to Luohu and began regenerating as an Innate Spirit Treasure.
• After the Eye of the Great Dao bestowed Merit and prepared to depart, Luohu raised his hand toward it and began to speak.
